| roe_ | well I am still installign the extras package | 00:00 |
| Catdaemon` | JRW135: it is possible to run windows applications through a wrapper called Wine, although you'll have to test the specific application yourself to know if it will work | 00:00 |

| erUSUL | deever: and any problems with it? | 00:01 |
| outbri | lost_boy432: My only other thought is that it is an ipod that isn't supported. For example, my iPod Touch doesn't work at all over usb. | 00:01 |

| erUSUL | JRW135: i already told you... | 00:02 |

| deever | i mean, one without the fstab | 00:02 |
| === Gun_Smoke_ is now known as Gun_Smoke | ||
| kitche | outbri: because you don't use fdisk -l to find a usb device | 00:02 |
| lost_boy432 | outbri: would you happen to know if 5th generation video ipods are supported? this also happens when i try my usb flash devices | 00:03 |
| unop | deever, i already told you - you need to adjust permissions on the volume | 00:03 |
| erUSUL | deever: ext3? no sorry | 00:03 |
| leslieviljoen | vbman: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software | 00:03 |
| outbri | kitche: what would you use? Does that now show you all devices connected to your system? | 00:03 |
| leslieviljoen | vbman: I think Kino is quite nice | 00:04 |
| kitche | outbri: fdisk doesn't dmesg does | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | outbri: if its a usb device use "lsusb" or "lshw" | 00:04 |

| ghindo | erUSUL: Yes. | 00:06 |
| mpGeorgeGalloway | hi can i install ubuntu and windows on same system?? | 00:07 |
| unop | deever, directories under /media are normally only created when a volume is mounted - they disappear as soon as the volume is dismounted or ejected - so if you have a directory that is always present, you ought to remove it and hopefully you shouldn't see it again | 00:07 |
| zeroh | after being a longtime debian user, i am have decided to migrate from debian to ubuntu. is thiss possible iwthout a cdrom and usb? | 00:07 |
| leslieviljoen | ok, I'm out, very tired, goodnight! | 00:07 |
| dr_willis | zeroh, you mean you wish to 'upgrade' a debian system to ubuntu? | 00:07 |
| slade605 | mpGeorgeGalloway: Yes | 00:07 |
| unop | !install | zero-one | 00:07 |
| ubottu | zero-one: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 00:07 |
| zeroh | dr_willis: no, i mean like chroot install | 00:07 |
| mpGeorgeGalloway | ok thnx slade | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | zeroh, ive heard thats doable.. but ive never done so. check that !install factoid sites there may be some info on ubuntu and debootstrap. | 00:08 |
| erUSUL | ghindo: show me the output of « grep DESK ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs » | 00:08 |
| zeroh | ah debootstrap should do it | 00:08 |
| zeroh | cool thanks | 00:08 |
| zeroh | haha hope i dont break my system | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | !debootstrap | 00:08 |
| ubottu | debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 00:08 |
| Mixed1234 | after a long battle and multiple reboots I finally managed to configure my cisco 350 wiress card, what's the difference between wifi and local network wireless though??? Can someone please explain??? I had to use eth1 instead of wifi under "Network" | 00:08 |

| LjL | XThief, i don't have a shiny solution, but try pastebinning the output of "aptitude search '!~Oubuntu'" | 00:09 |
| dr_willis | Ive seen some wireless cards use eth1, some use wlan0, and some - i think use other devices.. Never have figurd out the logic to it all. | 00:09 |

| bahaa2008 | hi | 00:11 |
| ghindo | erUSUL: Is it a setting in Nautilus or something? I can see the desktop background but none of the icons | 00:11 |
| bahaa2008 | erUSUL, | 00:11 |
| erUSUL | dr_willis: historicall reasons everything is converging now to use wlan{n} | 00:11 |
| bahaa2008 | erUSUL, i wanna to ask about problem facing me | 00:12 |
| erUSUL | ghindo: maybe check the prefrences in nautilus and in gconf-editor under apps>nautilus | 00:12 |
| bahaa2008 | i install a web server on my ubuntu | 00:12 |
| erUSUL | dr_willis: mine used to be ra0 (ralink chip) now is wlan0 like it should be XD | 00:12 |
| bahaa2008 | and i wana to access it from internet | 00:12 |
| bahaa2008 | i'm behind a router | 00:13 |
| erUSUL | bahaa2008: what's the problem ? | 00:13 |
| zeta- | I'm trying to install eclipse 3.4.1 (Ganymede) but can only find 3.2.2 (Callisto) in synaptic. | 00:13 |
| dr_willis | erUSUL, thats the other one. :) ra0... yes.. its best that they are all getting standardized .. be even better if all the companies released drivers and followed the standards as well. :) | 00:13 |
| zeta- | Do I need to choose a different source, or should I install directly from eclipse.org ? | 00:13 |
| outbri | erUSUL, kitche: do you have any clues for lost_boy432? He is trying to mount a 5th generation video ipod via usb. His output of 'sudo lshw' is http://paste.ubuntu.com/52269/ | 00:13 |
| bahaa2008 | i make all the staff of port forwarding | 00:13 |
| LjL | XThief: or rather, pastebin aptitude search '~i!~Oubuntu' | 00:14 |
| bahaa2008 | but i cann't access me server using the public ip | 00:14 |
| bahaa2008 | i can access it using network ip | 00:14 |
| jjulian | hi can somebody help me installing my nvidia graphics card on my new laptop? | 00:14 |
| bahaa2008 | but not the public ip | 00:14 |
| erUSUL | bahaa2008: with your lan ip it works from other computers? | 00:14 |
| quittt | how do I convert PDF to JPEG? | 00:15 |
| bahaa2008 | in the network | 00:15 |
| jjulian | the propreitary driver wont work as far as i install it. gnome isnt starting anymore | 00:15 |
| thomc | is there a way to find out command line if my mainboard has usb 2 or not? | 00:15 |
| quittt | or how do I convert .doc to jpeg?? | 00:15 |
| bahaa2008 | yes it works in the network | 00:15 |
| erUSUL | thomc: lspci should list the usb controllers and tell if they are 2.0 or not | 00:15 |
| erUSUL | bahaa2008: so the problem has to be on the port forwarding in the router... | 00:16 |
| bahaa2008 | and the public ip works for anybody outside the network | 00:16 |
| bahaa2008 | no | 00:16 |
| bobertdos | jjulian: So you've tried the restricted driver from Ubuntu, or the the proprietary directly from Nvidia's site? | 00:16 |
| consolover | !nvidia > jjulian | 00:16 |
| ubottu | jjulian, please see my private message | 00:16 |
| thomc | erUSUL: thanks | 00:16 |
| bahaa2008 | i access it using the public ip using a proxy | 00:16 |
| erUSUL | thomc: for example on my mobo → 00:13.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01) | 00:17 |
| bahaa2008 | simply | 00:17 |
| jjulian | bobertdos, i tried the restricted but i dont know which one to download from nvidias site mine isnt listed there | 00:17 |
| outbri | lost_boy432: I don't see your device being recognized at all. See if anything shows up in System>Administration>kern.log when you plug it in. | 00:17 |
| LjL | quittt: you can use "pdftoppm" from the poppler-utils package, then convert the ppm to jpeg | 00:17 |

| XThief | LjL what do i have to type now? | 00:19 |
| LjL | !browsers | travis_, best i can give you | 00:19 |
| ubottu | travis_, best i can give you: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) | 00:19 |
| bahaa2008 | the problem is i cann't access my internal sever using the public ip | 00:19 |
| bahaa2008 | but the the others can | 00:19 |
| LjL | XThief: aptitude search '~i!~Oubuntu' | 00:19 |

| === lu5tic is now known as deadinside | ||
| bahaa2008 | any one outside the network can access the public ip | 00:19 |
| travis_ | ahhh. ok. i've tried opera, no private mode. ephiphany is too simple. I'll try dillo | 00:20 |
| LjL | travis_: well, no, i can give you something more comprehensive actually (though still not specific) - GNOME web: epiphany-browser, galeon — KDE web: konqueror — console web: elinks — web: firefox, opera, firefox-3.0, lynx, w3m, links2, midori, dillo, edbrowse, kazehakase | 00:20 |
| erUSUL | thomc: not sure... "lsmod | grep ehci" shows something? | 00:20 |
| bahaa2008 | but any one inside the network cann't access the server using the public ip | 00:20 |
| kitche | Anusien: use a different thing like -vo x11 | 00:20 |
| XThief | LjL http://paste.ubuntu.com/52271/ | 00:20 |
| bahaa2008 | where is the problem | 00:20 |
| travis_ | Thanks ljl. I'll try some of those out. | 00:21 |
| LjL | travis_: perhaps consider the option of creating a separate user for private browsing | 00:21 |
| bahaa2008 | i read about sothing called NAT Lookup | 00:21 |
| erUSUL | bahaa2008: so from your own computer the one with the webserver you can not access the computer via your public ip? | 00:21 |
| bahaa2008 | but i didn't understand it | 00:21 |
| voodoox | hi budies | 00:21 |
| bahaa2008 | yes | 00:21 |
| Anusien | Awkward. That wasn't working before but it did that time | 00:21 |
| bahaa2008 | exactly | 00:21 |
| travis_ | ahh. the problem is I want to do that at the same time I use my normal account, which is why I can't use firefox. Steathler causes all tabs to be stealthed. | 00:21 |

| LjL | XThief: uhm, that didn't even catch libc6... which probably means you installed it from the hardy repositories. try: aptitude search '~i!~VCURRENT' | 00:23 |
| LjL | XThief: and if that gives no results, then: aptitude search '~i!~VTARGET' | 00:23 |
| Anusien | kitche: What are my options? -vo x11, what else? | 00:23 |
| bahaa2008 | erUSUL, | 00:23 |

| kitche | Anusien: if you do -vo I believe it will output all the options | 00:23 |
| keystr0k | LjL, thanks! | 00:23 |

| keystr0k | bobertdos, I think I'll keep it all on the same partition and backup the data frequently. | 00:24 |
| erUSUL | bahaa2008: dunno what may be the problem sorry ... | 00:24 |

| bobertdos | cheezewiz: but are the MIRRORS up to date? | 00:45 |
| olskolirc | I have just upgraded to Hardy. Aren't I supposed to have KDE4 or do I have to upgrade to kde4 and how do I do that and is it stable and compatible with Hardy? | 00:45 |
| cheezewiz | doesn't apt-get update do that? | 00:45 |
| olskolirc | rather, is KDE4 final yet? How do I upgrade if it is - using Hardy. | 00:46 |
| radovich | olskolirc: it is compatible, but stay away from kde4 untill kde4.3... at least i will... | 00:46 |

| yavapai | atheros air card i have broadcom too and it works | 00:58 |

| curtlee2002 | if it doesn't work your repository is screwed up | 00:59 |

| Secured | Anyone worked with Windows domains before? | 01:00 |
| deadinside | upgrade as in what..buy something? | 01:01 |
| sp00n | deadinside, I do not recommend upgrading to Hardy | 01:01 |
| darkness_ | hey, I'm trying to play some old AVI files that don't seem to work in VLC, Mplayer, or Totem, (totem says that Intel Indeo 5 was not available or something) Does anybody know how I can play these files? (If not, then I guess I have about 10.6 GB of videos that are virtually useless) | 01:01 |
| bobertdos | deadinside: especially because Hardy is the second LTS release (Dapper was the first). No, I usually make a live CD from the ISO. | 01:01 |
| bobertdos | deadinside: fresh installs are MUCH cleaner than direct distro upgrades | 01:02 |
| deadinside | sounds like gibberish to me. | 01:02 |
| curtlee2002 | deadinside: press ALT + F2, then type "update-manager -d" and press Run | 01:02 |
| deadinside | i dont even know where to get these upgrades | 01:02 |
| sp00n | deadinside, I don't recommend using hardy at all unless you have to. a bunch of stuff broke for me between 6.x and 8.x | 01:02 |

| deadinside | i cant watch videos | 01:02 |
| deadinside | or music or anythings | 01:02 |

| noway | sp00n i agree that 8.04 is trouble --- never had so much trouble with 7.04 | 01:03 |
| deadinside | i dont even know how to so if i can watch videos then i dont care | 01:04 |
| sp00n | noway, all of the thing I mentioned above worked flawlessly in 6 | 01:04 |
| sp00n | noway, i am seriously pissed here. i've been at this for 6 hours now, and about a week and a half into it with no results. | 01:04 |
| bobertdos | deadinside: and yes, given that Hardy has not been our best work, you'd be better off waiting for a month anyway | 01:04 |
| deadinside | could u watch videos spoon? | 01:04 |
| sp00n | As far as I'm concerned, an OS that can't play streaming media through a browser? EPIC FAIL | 01:04 |

| Clutz | I used a knoppix live disk to resize a windows partition with gparted on a hard disk to make room for ubuntu. sadly it moved the partition to the left after resizing it and i don't think there is room for grub cause i installed ubuntu and it boots windows anyway. will moving the partition a little to the left (1 or 2 mb) fix this? | 01:05 |

| sp00n | deadinside, some of them still work. It was a huge [insert expletive] to get flash vids to work. Even embedded mpegs play choppy in Opera and Firefox. For some reason, Konqueror plays some types of embedded media fine. I now need movs for a class, and nothing I do gets it working at all. | 01:06 |
| sp00n | Clutz, I don't think so | 01:06 |

| ponicg | Hi all. How can I determine which controller my hard drives are on during an install of ubuntu? | 01:07 |
| sp00n | Clutz, you probably can, yes. Windows overwrites the MBR, which the computer uses to figure out which OS to boot from | 01:07 |
| sp00n | bobertdos, is that new in the past 2 - 3 weeks? | 01:08 |
| deadinside | some one said download i386 or something and someone else said push alt f2 or something now ahat | 01:08 |
| Clutz | sp00n: after installing ubuntu it booted to windows anyway, any thoughts? | 01:08 |
| reaper | hi | 01:08 |
| Clutz | hi | 01:08 |
| noway | sp00n firefox 3.03 is really recent | 01:08 |
| reaper | hey | 01:08 |
| sp00n | Clutz, you can probably re-setup grub, and add entries to your grub menu to boot your windows installation | 01:09 |
| curtlee2002 | Clutz I am sure you can | 01:09 |
| ponicg | I have an NVRaid hard drive that's the same size as one of my other drives that's just SATA by itself, without hte motherboard's raid. how can I determine which one I'm going to be installing to? | 01:09 |
| kpoman | hi to all guys ! I have a reiser4 fs somewhere in my disk but cant find any kind of support on kernel for it ? | 01:09 |
| Clutz | sp00n: shouldn't ubuntu have installed grub already? | 01:09 |
| sp00n | Clutz, I did that today with two different versions of Linux | 01:09 |
| Phoul | does anyone know of some software that will allow music streaming to a shoutcast server | 01:10 |
| deadinside | Could not open location 'file:///update manager -d' | 01:10 |
| deadinside | Details: The location or file could not be found. | 01:10 |
| sp00n | Clutz, correct me if I'm wrong anybody, but I read today that grub installs its first stage into a particular partition. each time you install an OS, that OS overwrites the MBR, telling it where to find the first stage of grub | 01:10 |
| Phoul | im a online dj amung other things and i cant seem to find anything like that under linux | 01:10 |
| zewm_ | Phoul: Have you checked the shoutcast website for a linux based server? | 01:10 |
| kpoman | I get this message: "The volume uses the reiser4 file system which is not supported by your system." | 01:10 |
| Phoul | im not looking for a server | 01:10 |
| Phoul | Im looking for a program to stream to a server | 01:11 |
| sp00n | Clutz, so each partition with an OS on it could have its own OS's first stage of grub. The MBR always points to one particular first stage of grub. | 01:11 |
| Phoul | kinda like M$'s sam, winamp(ick),Traktor | 01:11 |
| sp00n | Clutz, (grub is a bootloader commonly used by Linux to choose which partition to boot from) | 01:11 |
| Clutz | sp00n: is it possible that i shrank the mbr? | 01:11 |
| Tricyclethief | Hey all anyone able to help with a dual monitor setup for 8.04 and ati video card | 01:12 |
| curtlee2002 | Clutz, If you download the Alternative version of the ubuntu CD, it has an MBR grub repair tool, | 01:12 |
| sp00n | Clutz, window isn't Linux - friendly, and overwrites the MBR to point to just the windows partition. But you can do things like run a linux live disc and choose rescue mode, enter a grub command prompt, and set the MBR back the way you want | 01:12 |
| zewm_ | Phoul: Check your msgs | 01:12 |

| Tricyclethief | Any ati users out there? | 01:14 |
| sp00n | Clutz, I know, but it sounds like the MBR is just pointing to the windows bootstrap loader, and you want it to point to your linux distro's grub | 01:14 |
| kpoman | I know there is a murder on that story and all, but is there a way to get reiser4 working on Ubuntu ? | 01:14 |
| pibe86 | hello how cn i see my kernel version? | 01:14 |
| pibe86 | can* | 01:14 |
| sp00n | Clutz, when you run root(your drives) and setup (your drive) in a grub prompt, it tells the MBR what partition to look for the bootloader on | 01:15 |
| Azerthoth | kpoman short of dping your own kernel, doesnt sound like it | 01:15 |
| Clutz | sp00n: so, moving my partition to the left as far as it can go isn't the reason? | 01:15 |

| sp00n | Clutz, what process did you go through that you are describing by moving a partition to one side? | 01:16 |
| Clutz | sp00n: i booted knoppix live cd and ran gparted, i set it to have 80gb at the end of the partition and didn't realize that it removed the 1 or 2mb it had prior to the partition | 01:16 |
| Azerthoth | kpoman do a lsmod, you'll notice that ubuntu loads everything but the kitchen sink by default, if you have no support you'll have to do your own | 01:16 |
| Clutz | sp00n: it moved the entire partition over as far as it would allow | 01:16 |
| curtlee2002 | Tri: Sure | 01:16 |
| ponicg | I'm trying to find out which hard drive controller my drives are connected to during install. How can I do that? I have a 320GB raid1 array on an nvraid controller on my motherboard, and a 3rd 320gb drive for ubuntu. how can i make sure i'm not clobbering the raid array? | 01:16 |

| Iodous | i need help | 01:17 |
| Clutz | sp00n: i was resizing the windows partition | 01:17 |
| Azerthoth | kpoman very slowly now, you will have to compile your kernel to build the module | 01:17 |
| Clutz | sp00n: so linux would fix at the end | 01:17 |
| sp00n | Clutz, are you on windows now? | 01:17 |

| Tricyclethief | yes ive edited it about 10times so far, mostly ending up with white or black screens | 01:18 |

| Tricyclethief | curtleee2002: closest ive gotten is dual screens at login, but once i put in my username/pass it reverts to clone | 01:19 |
| sp00n | Clutz, I'm trying to make sure you didn't accidentally wipe out a partition, or just verify that your partitions are still set how you had intended them. I think windows will not detect linux ext type partitions | 01:19 |
| Clutz | sp00n: Disk 0: Partition 1 = 385.76GB NTFS | Partition 2 76.70GB Unknown | Partition 3 3.30GB Unknown | 01:20 |

| Tricyclethief | i actually have drivers installed and with compiz running and the works..but i cant get dual monitors working..sticks in clone mode | 01:20 |
| curtlee2002 | Tri: First I would suggest running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" to start with a fresh file | 01:20 |
| _mach | er.. ubuntu. | 01:20 |
| _mach | does it come with GCC/GDB out of the box? | 01:20 |
| _mach | along with possible audio support? | 01:20 |
| parnorm | anyone have time to help a linux noob get his sound card working again? | 01:21 |
| sp00n | Clutz, so, you want to have the 385 GB partition for windows, which is what's active right now, and then the 7GB for linux, and you don't need the 3 GB partition? | 01:21 |
| Iodous | i need help.... | 01:21 |
| consolover | Tricyclethief: oh, ok. But I only have one monitor so those are pits where I never had to thread | 01:21 |
| krazy-h_ | Hi there | 01:21 |
| pibe86 | hello, i have ubuntu 8.10.1 64 bits, can you give me a page how to install new kernel 2.6.27? | 01:21 |
| Clutz | the 76GB partition is what it made and installed ubuntu on, the 3.3GB partition is the swap | 01:21 |
| kpoman | Azerthoth: is there a way to search somewhere for a ready compiled reiser4 module ? | 01:21 |
| Tricyclethief | consolover: yeah its killing me. i did actually get it "big monitor" once but the 2nd screen resolution was way off and couldnt get it fixed | 01:22 |
| consolover | !anyone > parnorm | 01:22 |
| mEck0 | hi! I have my laptop connected to a TFT monitor and has discovered that it flickers :( I wonder why, because its running the native resolution (1680x1050 @ 60Hz)? | 01:22 |
| ubottu | parnorm, please see my private message | 01:22 |
| keystr0k | Why is the DL speed of HellaNZB jumping up and down every second? anyone? | 01:22 |
| Tricyclethief | curtlee2002: ok what next, gonna take notes then try it | 01:22 |
| sp00n | Clutz, ok, so that's all as it should be. resizing those partitions shouldn't make the grub on the linux partiton unusable | 01:22 |
| Gr33n3gg | mEck0: Try a different refresh rate? | 01:22 |
| curtlee2002 | Tri: The best info is at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors | 01:22 |
| reaper | 1 | 01:22 |
| Iodous | i | 01:22 |
| Iodous | need | 01:22 |
| Clutz | sp00n: so why didn't grub get installed right? | 01:22 |
| Iodous | some | 01:22 |
| Iodous | help | 01:23 |
| Tricyclethief | thanks havent seen that link before, and shouldnt be an issue im using ubuntu right | 01:23 |
| consolover | !patience | Iodous | 01:23 |
| ubottu | Iodous: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 01:23 |
| sp00n | Clutz, so you'll need to boot off a liveCD so you can access the grub command prompt, and set grub up in the MBR so it can detect both your OSs | 01:23 |
| mEck0 | Gr33n3gg: how can I do that in xorg.conf? because gnome-display-properties only shows 60Hz | 01:23 |
| Clutz | sp00n: ok | 01:23 |
| Iodous | you ee the thing is | 01:23 |
| Clutz | sp00n: i'll go try that, ty | 01:23 |
| Iodous | see* | 01:23 |
| sp00n | Clutz, I don't know why it didn't get installed right. Do you have just one hard drive with several partitions, or is that several physical drives? | 01:23 |
| curtlee2002 | Tri: The basic idea is to have 2 Section "Device" with different Identifier | 01:23 |
| Iodous | i had to do that just to get some attention | 01:23 |
| mEck0 | Gr33n3gg: or can I even try another refresh rate directly with a xrandr-command? | 01:23 |
| curtlee2002 | names | 01:23 |
| Clutz | sp00n: 1 hard drive | 01:23 |
| Tricyclethief | i actually have that right now | 01:23 |
| sva_ | can anyone give me an example of how a xorg.conf file should be if i need a 1440x900 resoution | 01:23 |
| onx | Iodous, the enter key doesn't qualify as inpunctuation | 01:23 |
| Tricyclethief | theres something im missing in my xorg file and just cant find it | 01:24 |
| === freqk|away is now known as freqk | ||
| onx | in other news: Tricyclethief, your nick is win. | 01:24 |
| Gr33n3gg | mEck0: I used the xrandr command. | 01:24 |
| consolover | Iodous: people are not ignoring you. They won't answer you to tell that they know how to. Also, | 01:24 |
| consolover | !ask | Iodous | 01:24 |
| ubottu | Iodous: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 01:24 |
| Khisanth | grr I hate upgrades | 01:24 |
| mEck0 | Gr33n3gg: ok, great, how can a xrandr-command look like then? | 01:24 |
| Iodous | i did do that and no one answered | 01:24 |
| pibe86 | hello, how do i install kerel 2.6.27 in ubuntu 64 bits | 01:24 |
| Tricyclethief | lol | 01:25 |
| jmichelsen | I am trying to fully uninstall some software, i use the apt-get purge or --purge switch yet when I reinstall the software from apt-get it has settings still in it from the last install, is there a way to COMPLETELY remove software? and all settings etc | 01:25 |
| sp00n | Clutz, k. you should read those pages thoroughly before enacting the steps in them; particularly make sure you know what to do if you get ubuntu back and don't see an option for windows. based on the info you gave me, I think your windows partition will be in the grub menu as (hd0, 0) and linux partition will be (hd0,1) | 01:25 |
| consolover | Iodous: then look at what came from !patience " Answers are not always available." Repeat the question every 15 or 20 minutes | 01:25 |
| Clutz | sp00n: tyvm, i'll get right on it | 01:25 |

| _mach | i'm downloading the ubuntu iso, does it come ready with GCC/GDB? | 01:26 |
| mEck0 | Gr33n3gg: thx! | 01:26 |
| curtlee2002 | Tri: The basic idea is to have 2 Section "Device", 2 Section "Monitor", 2 Section "Screen", and Section "ServerLayout" | 01:26 |
| consolover | jmichelsen: take a look at all files that appear when you install the package. Then just remove them. | 01:26 |
| Tricyclethief | yeah i have that in my file now, but while looking over that website you listed i see a few little details i didnt have | 01:27 |
| parnorm | so, my audigy 2 value worked just fine on my first install of ubuntu. I reinstalled, and now it doesn't work at all. I tried removing and reinstalling all the ansa stuff (along with the gnome gui), and I read about a patch for audigy cards. I've downloaded it, but have no idea how to implement it. | 01:27 |
| consolover | jmichelsen: also, it's possible that you're just removing the front-end of the program, so you're not removing the options | 01:27 |
| jmichelsen | consolover: the package is huge, there would be no way really to do that, | 01:27 |
| jmichelsen | consolover: im removing the package completely the same way i installed it, why doesnt apt-get purge actually purge? | 01:27 |
| Tricyclethief | thanks for the info guys, gonna try some things and ill be back if i still have problems =) | 01:28 |
| dibblego | where did XMMS go? | 01:28 |
| consolover | jmichelsen: you can see that on the synaptic package manager. There's an option there to see all the files installed. The ones that hold options are kept in /etc or /home. Take a look at them | 01:28 |
| pibe86 | how can i install kernek 2.6.27 in ubuntu 64 bits?????????? | 01:28 |
| jmichelsen | consolover: thanks | 01:29 |
| consolover | pibe86: you compile it yourself | 01:29 |
| pibe86 | consolover: can you give me a webpage to learn how to | 01:29 |
| mEck0 | Gr33n3gg: 60Hz seems to be the only available ref.rate for the monitor :S what else could be wrong? I think its either a bug or a setting somewhere. I mean, its working perfectly in Windows at 60Hz | 01:29 |
| consolover | dibblego: it's development stopped. There's XMMS2 now but it's way different | 01:29 |
| consolover | !compile | pibe86 | 01:29 |
| ubottu | pibe86: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 01:29 |

| zambo | hello folks, I have followed all steps to get ASLA drivers working for my soundcard (which is a Echo Layla3G) but I'm afraid that it doesn't seem to work. lspci lists it, but "alsactl names" shown no device found, any ideas? | 01:39 |
| zambo | thanks :) | 01:39 |
| curtlee2002 | well, I am out. No udev help here | 01:39 |
| Fishscene | papna, there should be a recursive option (meaning it applies to all files/folders below the directory you specify) | 01:39 |
| consolover | papna: "chmod -R 777 /path to folder" but be careful with the -R option | 01:39 |
| _mach | i'm downloading the ubuntu iso, does it come ready with GCC/GDB? | 01:40 |
| onx | papna, you don't want to do that if you care about security though | 01:40 |

| zambo | I saw this comment "My problem has now been resolved thanks to iFvwm in the #ubuntu IRC channel - all I had to do was install the linux-ubuntu-modules package for my kernel!", can someone else explain this further? | 01:40 |

| danopia__ | when i try inserting a SD card into my cardreader, linux complains that it can't mount it | 01:41 |
| danopia__ | any ideas? | 01:41 |
| consolover | papna: but take a look at man chmod to make it what you want. 6th paragraph explains the meaning of the numbers and what to use based on what you want | 01:41 |
| onx | ponicg, i'd try the livecd. tbh sometimes the order of disks switches after install, in that case you'll have to edit your fstab | 01:42 |
| consolover | danopia__: does it appear in sudo fdisk -l ? | 01:42 |
| danopia__ | consolover, i think so, as /dev/sdf1 | 01:43 |
| consolover | danopia__: also, what exactly does it say? Do you have a button on that warning that gives more output on the reason? | 01:43 |

| sp00n | Clutz, yeah, I've been through just about every thread on the internet. I can't figure it out. | 02:01 |
| carandraug | zeroh: you create another partition, rsync the contents of /var/chroot/hardy to that partition, get rid of Debian, put on a LiveCD, edit menu.lst and that's it. You can use cfdisk to move the partitions | 02:01 |
| mikebot | Does anyone know how to clos a split screen in screen? | 02:01 |

| HardyHeron | sudo ifdown eth0 | 02:04 |
| HardyHeron | ifdown: interface eth0 not configured | 02:04 |
| sp00n | Clutz, I think it might genuinely be a hardware incompatibility or something. I have tried firefox, konqueror, and opera, with xine, mplayer, and vlc plugins. I even booted into a liveCD of a different distro and got the exact same failures out of the box | 02:04 |
| papna | s/oldhome/directoty or the reverse in my question. :p | 02:04 |
| carandraug | zeroh: hmm, you edit the file before the rsync. You can do that | 02:04 |

| sp00n | Clutz, thx | 02:08 |

| Floodbot | go to www.deezer.com | 02:10 |

| zeroh | carandraug: i have 3 partitions /boot / and /home/ | 02:11 |
| papna | Okay, I think I get it, directories have to have executable permissions? Things seem to mess up when that is not the case. If so, can someone advice how I would change all normal files to rw- and all directories to rwx? | 02:11 |
| carandraug | smmagic: and the other have numbers | 02:11 |
| c5p1zz | smmagic: the alternate install cd lets me select the Install Ubuntu option, then it displays a few errors, then (after 5 mins) i get a command prompt. i assume i need to know some commands to start the install and set insall params, but i don't know any | 02:12 |
| carandraug | zeroh: do you also want to get rid of Debian's /home? | 02:12 |
| zeroh | carandraug: i have a full working copy of ubuntu in my /var/chroot/ folder | 02:12 |
| smmagic | I dont know about errors like that c5p1zz, mine just went straight through | 02:12 |
| zeroh | no i want to keep my home | 02:12 |
| zeroh | so basically i want to whipe out / and /boot | 02:13 |
| zeroh | and replace them with what i have in /var/chroot/ | 02:13 |
| kpoman | onx: it is reiser4, and i already have the partition with 30GB of data on reiser4, I only want to access it to backup the data | 02:13 |
| _haywire_ | what's the command to show the installed wireless driver? | 02:13 |
| zeroh | how do i do that without loosing stuff like ls when i remove/replace /sbin/ /bin etc | 02:13 |
| carandraug | zeroh: oh! I thought the third was swap. But that's still okay | 02:13 |
| c5p1zz | does anyone know where to find instructions on installing 8.40.1 from the alternate CD (text-based installer)? | 02:13 |
| zeroh | i have 4 gigs of ram | 02:13 |

| Fishscene | I'm throwing the idea out there- not saying that it's a solution | 02:26 |
| carandraug | zeroh: this is the strategy I would try (I would also backup if I could) and would be expecting to work. 1- edit Debian's /boot/grub/menu.lst to point to point Ubuntu's kernel, 2-change Debian's /home folder name (to avoid conflict with Ubuntu's home), 3-rsync /var/chroot/ to the partition where you have Debian's /home, 4-edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in the Ubuntu that you just copied, 5- boot to the new copied Ubuntu, 6- delete Debian stu | 02:26 |
| carandraug | ff but keep old Ubuntu, 7-boot into old ubuntu, 8-rsync new ubuntu to where was debian and edit menu.lst (again), 9 boot into the newest ubuntu and get rid of all the others | 02:26 |

| nemesis256 | I just tried adding a script to startup using update-rc.d and it doesn't seem to be running when I boot up. Is there a log file for rc.d somewhere so I can see if there were any errors? | 02:27 |
| carandraug | zeroh: you could try and make partitions in the RAM to try and do that faster but I don't trust that | 02:27 |

| carandraug | zeroh: ok, good luck | 02:28 |
| Gambit | Hello all. I have a question about xmms not being able to play in fluxbox. It says that I have no Gstreamer plugins configured or that I don't have a sound card configured and yet I have all of that working in GNOME | 02:28 |

| break-free | Hey I'm using Wicd but after an update whenever I try to run Wicd it says that the gui.py file does not exist | 02:30 |

| jrib | TopBunny88: erm, sorry. 11.04 since it is LTS | 02:39 |
| TopBunny88 | jrib: Thank you\ | 02:39 |
| carandraug | Iodous: no idea. Never had to switch it, don't know where that info is kept. Maybe in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:39 |
| jrib | and Flannel :) | 02:39 |

| nemesis256 | I just tried adding a script to startup using update-rc.d and it doesn't seem to be running when I boot up. Is there a log file for rc.d somewhere so I can see if there were any errors? | 02:40 |
| carandraug | Iodous: no. I mentioned it to you before. I was consolover | 02:41 |
| Iodous | well does any one know how to get an external monitor working? | 02:41 |
| Iodous | or any one know of a room that could help me | 02:42 |
| Omlette | Not beyond "plug monitor into power supply and computer, turn monitor on." | 02:42 |
| montana13 | Hi, I just walked my friend through installing Ubuntu on her laptop with Wubi, and now she wants to find her music. All her music she listened to on Vista was ripped from cd with iTunes. We can't figure out where iTunes saved the music. Anyone here know? | 02:42 |
| Iodous | no, like it will start up with the machine but once i get to log on the external just goes back | 02:42 |
| Iodous | black | 02:42 |
| airtonix | Iodous, have you read the xorg page on the ubuntu help site? searched for xorg on ubuntu forums....those are good places to start | 02:42 |
| papna | Flannel or anyone, I have apt-get updated, and it still does not work. The package list seems fine when I do type out a full name. (Incidentally, `sudo apt-get upda<TAB<' also does not work.) | 02:43 |
| carandraug | montana13: look for a buch of m4a files | 02:43 |
| montana13 | carandraug:where should I look? | 02:43 |
| thomc | Iodous: are you wanting to use both the laptop screen and external monitor at once, or just the external monitor? | 02:43 |
| Iodous | no i havent done that yet | 02:43 |
| Flannel | papna: Do you have tab completion turned off perhaps? | 02:43 |
| sarthor | i cant see arabic fonts on my hardy how to install that.. not able to see this text.. http://bbcurdu.com | 02:43 |
| smelian | hello guys i have problem with my usb modem and cd rom when i connect them they dont show in /media or desktop but in emsg i find them but when i connect usb flash memory its detect it and can check the files in side it | 02:43 |
| airtonix | Iodous, its black because you need to present xorg with it presence and config...if you havent got a video card that works with nvidia-settings then your going to have to config it through the /etc/X11/xorg.conf files manually | 02:44 |
| carandraug | montana13: I don't know. I know however that itunes (at least on mac) uses m4a files which are uncommon in Vista. That way, if you search for m4a files, you'll most likely find where the files are kept | 02:44 |
| papna | Flannel, it works for finding directories and such. If it god turned off, that's not how I meant to do t. | 02:44 |
| Iodous | is their any type of guide | 02:44 |
| Bajoraptor | am I silly for wondering if windows-xp could be hacked up to run in its own loop-mounted device? | 02:44 |
| carandraug | montana13: try "locate m4a" | 02:44 |
| papna | Flannel, Rather, I mean to express that I never did anything intending to turn it off. | 02:44 |

| smelian | airtonix: how i can check my Cd room usb cd room and the usb modem | 02:47 |
| carandraug | montana13: you can also go to Places > Search for files, select the Vista partition where iTunes runs (or Vista Home partition, if you use a separate partition for windows home (I believe it's called My documents)) and make a search for all m4a files in there | 02:47 |

| airtonix | smelian, your usb modem is proly not going to work...but with your cdrom drive i suggest plugging it in all by itself, and putting a cdrom in it....if that doesnt work then have it plugged in when you turn your computer on | 02:48 |
| Miksago | hey, um.. I've noticed in 8.04, when booting it no longed shows what it's doing; is there a way to reenable that feature? | 02:48 |
| airtonix | vedus, pastebin your script please | 02:48 |
| smelian | airtonix : i did everything but cant find it in desktop or /media and the usm modem its have files inside it its run like cd | 02:49 |
| Flannel | Miksago: Turn off quiet and splash in your menu.lst | 02:49 |
| Miksago | k | 02:49 |
| airtonix | smelian, can you provide a prodcut page for your modem then please | 02:49 |
| carandraug | Miksago: you mean not see the splash screen? | 02:49 |
| montana13 | carandraug: for some reason her computer froze. She pressed ctrl-alt-backspace to log out, now when she logs in the panels are gone. Know what is going on? | 02:49 |
| airtonix | smelian, product/manufacturers page* | 02:49 |
| carandraug | montana13: did she just run the locate command? | 02:50 |
| Royall | Ok, here's the question: I know nothing about Linux. I was able to install Ubuntu on a partition on my laptop (Dell inspiron with Intel Core 2 Duo 3 gb RAM 2 GHz 250 GB HDD), but I can't connect to my wireless network. My wireless card is: Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-card. I'm dual-booting with Vista, which is where I'm typing from. | 02:50 |
| Miksago | carandraug / Flannel: Um, no, I mean when it's booting, saying Ubuntu, with the loading bar | 02:50 |
| howler07 | Hi all! I am VERY new to Linux and Ubuntu. I have a dual display setup and I was wandering if someone could tell me how to rotate one of the screens 180 degrees and make it "expand" my desktop? I went into System->Administrator->Screens & Graphics, but it only shows the external monitor (laptop) with its max resolution and the other screen's menu is grayed out. When I click on it it shows it as Disabled. I am using 7.10 and I have | 02:50 |
| airtonix | montana13, you can restart gnome-panel : sudo killall gnome-panel -9 | 02:50 |
| smelian | airtonix :http://www.bandrich.com/download03.aspx?id=2&c=25&lang=3 but im using ubuntu no drive for it | 02:50 |
| montana13 | carandraug: no, it froze before that. | 02:50 |
| airtonix | smelian, im looking at it now...one sec | 02:51 |
| Flannel | Miksago: Right. Thats usplash | 02:51 |
| smelian | airtonix : the problem not how to make it work i have the config but the problem how to mount it | 02:51 |
| carandraug | Miksago: that's the splash screen. Remove that option from the menu.lst file. You know how to do that? | 02:51 |
| Miksago | not really | 02:51 |
| Miksago | I've got menu.lst open now though | 02:51 |
| Flannel | Miksago: theres a line near the top that starts with #kopt= | 02:51 |
| montana13 | she cant get to the terminal. alt-f2 doesn't work | 02:51 |
| kyhros | somebody can tell me how to set to run console application from desktop? | 02:51 |
| carandraug | Miksago: with write permissions? | 02:51 |
| airtonix | smelian, as i said unless your modem uses the international standards of usb mass storage then it wont mount it without drivers | 02:51 |
| phirestalker | I have libpam-blue installed and I found out how to configure it, but the default way is I have to enter the username first and then authenticate with bluetooth. Is there a way to make it enter the username and login automatically? | 02:52 |
| montana13 | airtonix: she cant get to the terminal. alt-f2 doesn't work | 02:52 |
| Miksago | carandraug: yes, write permissions (sudo vim'd) | 02:52 |
| Royall | Anyone think they know what's wrong? | 02:52 |
| carandraug | montana13: is that permanent? Did she tried to reboot and see if i persists? | 02:52 |
| airtonix | montana13, try the sysreq method | 02:52 |
| Flannel | Miksago: remove splash from that line (don't uncomment it) and you probably want to remove quiet too | 02:52 |
| smelian | airtonix : aha so i should forget about makeing it work in ubuntu > | 02:52 |
| montana13 | airtonix: she cant. no panels, no alt-f2 | 02:53 |
| airtonix | smelian, that wasnt the product page...you gave me the driver page | 02:53 |
| carandraug | Miksago: look for the kernel line on the option that you use to boot and remove splash (it's at the end of the line) | 02:53 |
| montana13 | airtonix: reboot worked | 02:53 |
| airtonix | !sysreq | montana13 | 02:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sysreq | 02:53 |
| RomanaMentalis | I am running a Gutsy Ubuntu "perfect server" with Ispconfig - I bought an SSL certificate from GoDaddy and I am having problems setting it up. Can someone point me to a good link on this topic or give me a hand? | 02:53 |
| Miksago | umm.. : # kopt=root=UUID=cb2d0515-1037-4d84-a519-c696a5aa45fb ro | 02:53 |
| smelian | sec dude | 02:53 |
| vedus | airtonix, thanks for questioning the code. it's a pathing issue. i'm referencing files in the same directory as the script without a path which isn't being referenced by the launcher. | 02:53 |
| Miksago | is that right? | 02:53 |
| airtonix | montana13, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=617349 | 02:53 |
| Flannel | Miksago: sorry, defoptions | 02:53 |
| Miksago | ah | 02:54 |
| Flannel | Miksago: not kopt | 02:54 |
| zeroh | carandraug: ok i made the menu.lst correct, and i am copying over the files then i will reboot and see if i cna get on my new system | 02:54 |
| smelian | airtonix : thats it http://www.bandrich.com/products03.aspx?id=2&c=25&lang=3 | 02:54 |

| tijuana | ok so I downloaded what I thought was gtk+ (gtk2-engine it was called) and now when I run the configure script for RutilT (the GUI for my wireless adapter) it tells me gtk2 isn't installed... When I try compiling gtk from a tarball I found on gtk.org it tells me atk isn't present... however when I apt-get atk it tells me the latest version is already installed :S | 02:54 |
| carandraug | montana13: when I said reboot, I was not mentioning cold reboot | 02:54 |
| Miksago | so.. #defoptions=splash quite => defoptions= | 02:54 |
| Flannel | tijuana: Don't use the tarball. You'll need to install a -dev file for gtk | 02:54 |
| HardyHeron | what does eth0:avahi mean? | 02:54 |
| Flannel | Miksago: No, don't uncomment it. | 02:54 |

| tijuana | ok, will do | 02:55 |
| Flannel | Miksago: but, other than that, the removal of "splash quiet" is correct. | 02:55 |

| WDC | What's the deal? | 02:57 |
| carandraug | Daft_Punk: System > Administration > Login window, look under the tab sounds | 02:57 |
| airtonix | smelian, try the eepc driver but you will have to compile the drivers most likley...can't garuntee anything, maybe you can start a protest infront of the manufactures operation | 02:57 |
| Flannel | WDC: It has to do with flash and pulseaudio | 02:57 |
| smelian | np thank u man for helping /bow | 02:57 |
| howler07 | Elijah: Thanks. I read your post but I can't help you either :(... | 02:57 |
| airtonix | smelian, they are who will be responsible for getting it working in a linux flavour of your choice | 02:57 |

| ubottu | Elijah: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

| Miksago | Elijah: should be able to; it worked for me.. but the files need to be shared | 03:03 |
| airtonix | Elijah, you would need to configure the sharing like you would in windows | 03:03 |

| airtonix | !omg | 03:04 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 03:04 |
| trece8 | Clutz: didn't understand | 03:05 |

| magnet | it's as simple as it gets, but like most of these programs I believe they Ubuntu people don't like it | 03:07 |
| trece8 | yes, airtonix, right away, wait 20 seconds | 03:07 |
| === HardyHeron is now known as complex_number | ||
| magnet | no idea -- it does automatically what you would do if you compiled the drivers cleanly | 03:07 |
| Clutz | magnet: i'll get it a try, thx | 03:07 |
| magnet | I'm not even sure it's unrecommended | 03:07 |
| airtonix | trece8, i cant promis anything but i can arm you with good info that will help you move the problem along | 03:08 |
| magnet | I do use it and it works thunder | 03:08 |
| Flannel | magnet, Clutz: you're required to run it each time you have a kernel upgrade, etc. | 03:08 |
| Flannel | !envyng | 03:08 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 03:08 |
| Miksago | is um... Intrepid the next version of ubunu? | 03:08 |
| Flannel | Miksago: it is. | 03:08 |
| Miksago | k | 03:08 |
| trece8 | that's the true meaning of help, airtonix... :) | 03:08 |
| trece8 | Miksago: it is | 03:08 |
| magnet | Flannel: well since it's built against the kernel, it's normal that it won't work after an update; however I didn't have more success using the 'official' restricted nvidia packages :) | 03:09 |
| Clutz | Flannel: do you have another recommendation? The restricted driver and the nvidia driver from their site both gave me the black screen of doom after the ubuntu loading bar finishes | 03:09 |
| Flannel | magnet, Clutz: see the factoid | 03:09 |

| Elijah | Seriously guys, is there no easy way to just get some XP files onto my Ubuntu box with a network cable? This Samba thing looks way to time consuming right now. | 03:10 |

| magnet | that's how easy it is. | 03:10 |
| magnet | Elijah: use FTP | 03:10 |
| Clutz | Flannel: it says use Envy as a last resort and at your own risk, what else do i need to try first? | 03:10 |
| Clutz | magnet: thx for info | 03:10 |
| magnet | or better, SSH with winSCP | 03:10 |
| Flannel | Clutz: the official methods (restricted drivers manager) | 03:11 |
| airtonix | Elijah, samba = windows networking | 03:11 |
| Clutz | Flannel: tried that and the driver from the nvidia site, both gave same black screen | 03:11 |
| Flannel | Elijah: sftp is indeed the easiest. Just install openssh-server, and use a client to connect (I suggest filezilla, but there are others) | 03:11 |

| TopBunny88 | Is there an Rturrent package for ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| bartek | hi .. I am extremely close to getting a working dual monitor setup on Ubuntu with the "ati" driver but my one problem is: | 03:16 |
| airtonix | thinkfast, for the first update after install use the update manager as it will remove uneeded stuff before moving on...`sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` wont | 03:17 |
| carandraug | GreedyB: it's really good. Give it a try. You can have it run on another computer and constantly looking for torrents in a specific folder. You just need to add torrents to that folder | 03:17 |
| fiyawerx | i seem to get faster speeds with wine+utorrent than anything, no clue what it is about it | 03:17 |
| carandraug | TopBunny88: yes. Apt-get install rtorrent | 03:17 |
| bartek | Ubuntu is giving the resolution of my bigger monitor (my tv) to my smaller monitor. I'm not sure why it's switching them around but in Resolution Settings it sees "Toshiba" (my tv) as my monitor . Any way I can force it to know the right one? | 03:17 |

| carandraug | airtonix: actually,transmission is the default torrent client in 8.04 so it seems. At least that's what came installed | 03:19 |
| airtonix | GreedyB, investigate using screen to maintain a terminal session ... good way to keep terminal apps going without a terminal window | 03:19 |
| fiyawerx | screen rocks | 03:19 |
| GreedyB | its gonna take some time.. I havent used linux in a long time.. still getting back in to the swing of things | 03:20 |
| airtonix | carandraug, i wish transmission would act as a frontend to rTorrent ...that would be sweet | 03:20 |
| carandraug | GreedyB: you can use screen like airtonix said. It's really good for that.Or you can just have rtorrent running in a tty. That's how I do it | 03:20 |

| airtonix | Elijah, you will also need to open ports 135, 137, 139 for windows networking to succed | 03:36 |
| Ishnu | I want to be able to check if a port is open on a different computer. | 03:36 |
| airtonix | Ishnu, its is .... you could also run firestarter which provides a list of open connections | 03:36 |

| Elijah | If I am trying to get an Ubuntu box to use the internet from a XP box through ICS which connection do I enable ICS on? The LAN or the EVDO? | 03:41 |

| airtonix | Elijah, lan | 03:41 |
| tyler | it ads some new cool plugins | 03:41 |

| airtonix | tyler, such as ? | 03:42 |
| alteregoa | yeah some eyecandys nobody really needs | 03:42 |
| jrib | tyler: enabling random repositories without knowing what you are doing is one of the best ways to break your box | 03:42 |
| tyler | well, u can use the deformation plugin which changes the desktop cube into a sphere or a cylinder | 03:42 |
| tyler | na ive done this before | 03:42 |
| tyler | and it worked fine | 03:42 |
| khin | hey i figured out what is causing that memory issue if not why it should occur: whenever i access the trash under the root filebrowser, not only does nautilus crash and need to be forced to quit, but more and more of my memory is eaten up by some process unlisted in system administration's system monitor. it gradually eats up the entire memory, then returns it later. what the hell!? | 03:42 |
| jrib | tyler: right, because of something works fine for you once in the past, it must be safe | 03:43 |

| Elijah1 | airtonix: thanks | 03:44 |

| ubottu | journeyer: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 03:44 |
| airtonix | khin, if it is the trash then try emptying it via cli: its here ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 03:44 |

| [Solars] | would that also remove all the packages that were depends? | 03:49 |
| Indoctrine | I can't get my printer to work, it keeps telling me there's an "Error while printing", it's on, plugged in, etc. And I've tried downloading and installing the drivers from the Canon driver page for Linux (the .deb ones, not the .rpm) but it still does not work... | 03:49 |
| samsss | airtonix, jrib i did set the folder in the configuration of the virtual machine theres a tab there that says shared folders... but nothing happens... | 03:49 |

| samsss | airtonix, im checking a web, ill let u know if ii can do something | 03:51 |
| hell_lord | hi guys, i made a small change to xorg.conf and now the x server won't start. i tried editing it out but the file system is read-only. it may seem simple, but there's more to it. | 03:51 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: My printer isn't LISTED there. | 03:51 |
| jrib | [Solars]: tried with the .deb from the vbox site/ | 03:52 |
| hell_lord | the more part is, the change was to turn on shmconfig for gsynaptics - and it worked - i restarted X and the change worked. BUT, this happened after a suspend to disk operation resulted in a hang | 03:52 |
| [Solars] | jrib 32 bit version only runs 32 bit guests.. 64bit runs both | 03:52 |
| airtonix | samsss, ok i solved it | 03:52 |
| slestak | i am testing intrepid alpha6 on a dual boot system and see a problem after insatll | 03:52 |
| [Solars] | jrib thats what i am going to try, but need to make sure i don't have to remove | 03:52 |
| airtonix | samsss, once you have your winxp virtual on let me know | 03:52 |
| spacemonkey | if I buy a device with software that only works with windows, can I use wine to use it with Ubuntu, and is that difficult? | 03:52 |
| carandraug | slestak: go to #ubuntu+1 then | 03:52 |
| samsss | airtonix, i have it on | 03:52 |
| hell_lord | the _even more_ curious part of it is that the X config complains, but there is absolutely nothing in any logs - and i think because it's read-only :P | 03:52 |

| hell_lord | anyone have any ideas? the last log message is from yesterday when i closed my laptop lid. it suspends, and then this morning i opened it and it hung | 03:55 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, the other option is to use virtualbox to make use of your printer. | 03:55 |
| hell_lord | now whenever i boot i can't start x and no logs are created because the root is mounted read-only | 03:55 |
| jrib | Clutz: yes | 03:55 |

| airtonix | Indoctrine, is it a usb printer? | 03:57 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: nope. i would have mounted my root from the livecd and made changes but my root is encrypted in an logical volume :( | 03:57 |

| Clutz | Gnea: oh, i didn't know that =P | 03:59 |
| Clutz | Gnea, should i try again? | 03:59 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: i think it's an issue with the Xauthority file being there still | 04:00 |
| Gnea | Clutz: go for it | 04:00 |
| Ishnu | I have read that you can telnet an IP adress with a certain port, to determine if that port is open on the target system.

| Clutz | Gnea: brb then | 04:00 |
| Gnea | jrib: yeah i saw that too - looks like there could be some conflicting drivers installed | 04:00 |
| jrib | Gnea: meh maybe you are right about it trying to load vesa though | 04:00 |
| tijuana | hi again! | 04:00 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, keep this aside for reference later on : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems | 04:00 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: but that doesn't explain why the root gets mounted read-only. this is the big problem. i removed the read-only on error part from fstab and i am also editing the grub boot line and removing "ro", so i don't see why it's still mounting read-only | 04:00 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, have you read this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556980 | 04:01 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: and in addition mtab is read-only so whenever i try to remount it tells me it's mounted already. | 04:01 |
| Gnea | jrib: yeah, vesa has historically given unpleasant results with nvidia equipment, particularly when a framebuffer is involved | 04:01 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: I have, it didn't work | 04:01 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: i tried to force it.... and it says it's mounted rw, but it still isn't :- | 04:01 |
| tijuana | I managed to install RutilT (the GUI for my wireless adapter) but when I load it instead of characters I only see squares :S | 04:01 |

| jrib | Tim__: reboot and choose recovery mode from the grub menu. Then choose to boot into a "root shell". Lastly, issue the command 'passwd YOUR_USERNAME_HERE' and reboot | 04:06 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: I might take my dad's printer, it's older and probably better supported. | 04:07 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: i think you can do it there. but if not you can also probably find a way to do it using gconf-editor | 04:07 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, well... it's not a file, it's a new device | 04:07 |
| jrib | smelian: I don't know. | 04:07 |
| tijuana | I managed to install RutilT (the GUI for my wireless adapter) but when I load it instead of characters I only see squares :S | 04:07 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, network printers are well supported...strangely lexmark ones work ok. | 04:07 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: ah, i see. | 04:07 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, gconf-editor might be the way | 04:07 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: that would have something to do with hal and/or dbus | 04:07 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: I don't want network printers... I want it to work locally. | 04:07 |
| jrib | smelian: what kind of modem is it? | 04:07 |
| smelian | any one know where is the probem i find my usb modem inside dmesg | tail and i dont see it when i use lsusb | 04:07 |
| smelian | bandluxe | 04:08 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, which is the permission on root files for you 400 ? | 04:08 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, its not much difference how it connects...usb or ethernet on your switch | 04:08 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: strangely it's rwx for root | 04:08 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: But it's connected to my computer, not a switch. | 04:08 |
| smelian | when i put it in desktop its run like storage but when i put it in laptop nothing happen | 04:08 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, just a suggestion, when you have a printer that can connect via ethernet....you dont have to have your computer running for them to be able to use it....means less cables also | 04:09 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, which files you mean? | 04:09 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: all permissions look normal | 04:09 |
| Till10185 | any one got any info on linkskys routers not working on ubuntu just tried hooking mine up and it didnt do **** | 04:09 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: My entire house runs off wireless. | 04:09 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, surely your wireless router has ethernet ports? | 04:09 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: Of course, but there is no room out where my router is to put my huge priner | 04:10 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, I don't get you. Which folders are you talking about? | 04:10 |
| Indoctrine | *printer | 04:10 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: cedriczg for example /etc | 04:10 |
| Till10185 | yeah but didnt do any thing said there was a connection but no it didnt work | 04:10 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: rwxr--r-- | 04:10 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, ok then it's 744 | 04:10 |
| KaRnA | hat.org | 04:11 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, well if i had the same printer as you i might be able to help further...not much i can do with out one | 04:11 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: i can't ever remember the bits :) | 04:11 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, you mean for all files under .etc they are 744 ? | 04:11 |
| Till10185 | i couldnt find any thing to on what it could be i know routers work just this one is being a ***** at the moment | 04:11 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: I'm off to find out what model my dad's Canon printer is. | 04:11 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, think in binary ;) | 04:11 |
| Indoctrine | !printing | 04:12 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 04:12 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: in /etc everything is 644 | 04:12 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, r-- = 100 (binary) = 4 | 04:12 |
| dew | rwx = 421, add them up | 04:12 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: there, happy? :) | 04:12 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, cups will also handle your network printing needs | 04:12 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: | 04:12 |
| Clutz | Gnea: no such luck, the computer is completely unresponsive at the black screen. can't even use num lock lol | 04:12 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: I'm not network printing! AT ALL. | 04:13 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, lol. I am checking my own folder to see how it should be | 04:13 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, i would. | 04:13 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: | 04:13 |
| Clutz | Gnea: I tried ctrl+alt+F1 ctrl+alt+F2 and ctrl+alt+del nothing did anything lol | 04:13 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: it should be 644 for conf files. | 04:13 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: Well, I wouldn't. | 04:13 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, that's right | 04:13 |
| Clutz | !pastebin | 04:14 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 04:14 |
| hell_lord | i just want to mount this damn file system read/write :( | 04:14 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting | 04:14 |
| jrib | Clutz: was the Xorg.0.log you pasted right after the black screen and before you booted X successfully again? | 04:14 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: I've seen it and it doesn't have drivers for mine | 04:14 |
| [Solars] | how do i add another desktop to GDE that ubuntu uses? | 04:15 |
| Clutz | jrib: no, it was after i restored the xorg and booted | 04:15 |
| [Solars] | i.e. i want more then 2 spaces | 04:15 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, there may be a generic driver like in my situation there is a specific driver for lexmark 1170 i ahve to use a driver called z600 | 04:15 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: How the hell am I meant to know which one to get then? | 04:15 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, isnt a specific driver for mine i mean | 04:15 |
| hell_lord | the root is encrypted lvm with jfs :P | 04:15 |
| hell_lord | maybe it has something to do with that :( | 04:16 |
| Tim__ | how do i setup dsl connection in xbunto | 04:16 |
| airtonix | Indoctrine, lots of research and patience .... or you can re-install windows or think about petitioning cannon for better linux support. | 04:16 |
| jrib | Clutz: the other one is probably more helpful :) | 04:16 |
| Clutz | Gnea: jrib: here is the xorg.conf that was used http://paste.ubuntu.com/52319/ | 04:16 |
| Indoctrine | airtonix: I am NOT putting Vista back on this computer. Nor am I putting XP on here where I get even worse driver support. | 04:16 |
| Tim__ | i got rid of vista | 04:17 |
| Clutz | as did i ^_^ | 04:17 |
| Tim__ | how do i setup dsl on xbunto | 04:17 |
| zeroh | Tim__: nice | 04:17 |
| Indoctrine | I've had so many problems with this laptop. | 04:17 |
| Clutz | my laptop and my other computer got ubuntu installed with no trouble at all | 04:17 |
| airtonix | Tim__, how did you connect your adsl modem to your machine? | 04:17 |
| Clutz | but this video card is being mean to me | 04:17 |
| oxeimon | shit I just opened up emacs in my terminal | 04:17 |
| Indoctrine | It's just not very Linux friendly | 04:17 |
| oxeimon | how do I exit?? | 04:17 |
| zeroh | i never had problems with ubuntu | 04:17 |
| neeto | I am trying to get a DHCP server running on my desktop computer, to provide internet to my laptop/xbox/whatever. I've defined a subnet and a lease range. I've also got a host configured on the ethernet port through which the server should listen. However, I can't get an IP with any devices I plug in... Does anyone have any suggestions? | 04:17 |
| Indoctrine | oxeimon: Ctrl-C? | 04:17 |
| Tim__ | airtonix through network card and cable to dsl router as in vista | 04:17 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, try this command and look at itś output: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 04:18 |
| oxeimon | nope | 04:18 |
| oxeimon | doesn't work | 04:18 |
| jrib | oxeimon: ctrl-x ctrl-c | 04:18 |
| hell_lord | Indoctrine: what laptop | 04:18 |
| airtonix | Tim__, ok do you know the ip address of the adsl router? | 04:18 |
| Indoctrine | oxeimon: Esc? | 04:18 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: Acer Aspire 4710 | 04:18 |
| airtonix | Tim__, and how are you communicating here now? obviously ont on the machine you want to deal with in question | 04:18 |
| nxmehta | i just created a new group and added myself to it, but when i type 'groups' i don't see the group... is there some service i need to restart or something? | 04:18 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, not sure if this gets anywhere but just to check | 04:18 |
| oxeimon | ctrl-x ctrl-c worked | 04:18 |
| Tim__ | airtonix: in windows...i key in my username@bell.net and then password | 04:18 |
| oxeimon | damn emacs | 04:18 |
| Tim__ | i would think ip address in dynamic | 04:19 |
| airtonix | Tim__, i have never used vista so references to "in windows" or "just like in vista" doesnt mean anything to me | 04:19 |
| Tim__ | it is not static | 04:19 |
| Tim__ | it is always changing the ip address:airtonic | 04:19 |
| Ishnu | I have read that you can telnet an IP adress with a certain port, to determine if that port is open on the target system. But wouldn't this method just work if the target IP adress was using that port for telnet, and not anything else? | 04:19 |
| hell_lord | Indoctrine: oh dear god | 04:19 |
| airtonix | Tim__, it wouldnt internally..that would be the external behaviour | 04:19 |
| tigran | anyone here know how to recreate CrossOvers menus? crossover channel is dead. | 04:20 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: That bad, eh? | 04:20 |
| airtonix | Tim__, usually the internal address of your adsl router/modem is either : 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 | 04:20 |
| Tim__ | airtonic ok | 04:20 |
| airtonix | Tim__, try visiting those ip addresses in firefox on the ubuntu machine | 04:20 |
| Tim__ | it is only one machine | 04:21 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, might this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=868984 | 04:21 |
| Tim__ | it is not networked | 04:21 |
| hell_lord | Indoctrine: im having some real problems with a thinkpad. i don't even wanna know what it'd be like on that thing | 04:21 |
| airtonix | Tim__, ? | 04:21 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: lol i'm looking at that thread right now | 04:21 |
| airtonix | Tim__, if your modem is not networked then how do you connect to it? | 04:21 |
| Tim__ | the xubunto system---network card----dsl rounter----telephone cable. | 04:21 |
| Ishnu | Just a quick question: when you ping, say, 192.168.0.5, how would it decide whether to ping the internal address 192.168.0.5, or the internet one? | 04:21 |
| pibe86 | hello channel for ubuntu beta pls | 04:22 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, then we may be in a good track ;) | 04:22 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: Ohh yeah. In Gutsy, I couldn't get my wireless working, nor can I get it to work in Debian, Gentoo, etc. | 04:22 |
| tigran | anyone here know how to recreate CrossOvers menus? crossover channel is dead. | 04:22 |
| tritium | !intrepid | pibe86 | 04:22 |
| airtonix | Tim__, ok then your modem will have a ip address. | 04:22 |
| ubottu | pibe86: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! | 04:22 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, good luck | 04:22 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: .... | 04:22 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: it just booted and started x | 04:22 |
| Tim__ | ok airtonix how do i connect then | 04:22 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: I even had problems with this thing in VISTA, which is what it was designed for. | 04:22 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: i have -no- idea why | 04:22 |
| Tim__ | server will need username and password to let me in | 04:23 |
| airtonix | Tim__, here is my setup ubuntu -> switch -> (10.1.1.1)modem(dynamic-ip) -> phone cable | 04:23 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: In other words, it's a right piece of ... | 04:23 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, good! better don't ask :P if it works don't touch we should say | 04:23 |
| airtonix | Tim__, on the left is the internal address and on the right is the dynamic ip assigned by the isp | 04:23 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: gah it has something to do with suspend | 04:23 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: and something i did fixed it. i need to investigate this further >< | 04:23 |
| Tim__ | before ip assigns u a ip address using dhcp protocol; it needs to authentificate me | 04:24 |
| airtonix | Tim__, pastebin the output of : ifconfig | 04:24 |
| Ishnu | Hello glades20 | 04:24 |

| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| airtonix | Tim__, or you could search the ubuntu wiki for details about using this type of modem | 04:24 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, let me paste you what I get in my syslog | 04:24 |
| Xpistos | OK, Is anyone else having problems getting USB to work in Virtual Box? | 04:25 |
| Tim__ | airtonix: ok | 04:25 |
| Xpistos | I could have sworn when I installed it in July, I got it working out of the box | 04:25 |
| hell_lord | Indoctrine: you a long time linux user? lot of experience w/ gentoo? | 04:25 |
| Lasivian | hiya, I can't figure out how to fix my video, it went out of range | 04:25 |
| glades20 | Hi, I think I killed wine | 04:25 |
| Ishnu | Really? | 04:25 |
| jrib | Xpistos: are you using the ose version from the repositories? | 04:25 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: I sat for about an hour trying to get it to connect to my wireless... it recognised the card was there and everything | 04:25 |
| airtonix | Tim__, any adsl modem that doesnt act like a switch ought to be returned for a refund imo | 04:25 |
| Xpistos | No | 04:25 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: I had access to docs and IRC the entire time I was troubleshooting it. | 04:25 |
| Indoctrine | Via another computer... | 04:26 |
| Xpistos | jrib: I saw that and installed the closed version | 04:26 |
| Xpistos | jrib: I don't remember installing it via a deb package lastime though | 04:26 |
| jrib | Xpistos: try #vbox | 04:26 |
| Lasivian | so, I can't see anything on my ubuntu box, and I don't want to hit reset to fix what is probably an easy fix | 04:26 |
| Xpistos | jrib: thanks | 04:26 |
| mttr_1 | ok so reading the RTM doesn't helping me get the wireless working on ubunut.. | 04:26 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: It was actually my second install... the first time didn't work either, because I got the wrong arch of CD | 04:26 |
| Lasivian | my google-fu sucks, I did try that first :P | 04:26 |
| hell_lord | Indoctrine: did you follow somethin like this? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Acer_Aspire_5102WLMi | 04:26 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: No, I was trying to get my wireless going before I even started anything else | 04:27 |

| mttr_1 | tried and ath_hal .. and still no difference | 04:28 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, syslog | 04:28 |
| hell_lord | Indoctrine: you can probably get it working with a cheap wireless card and unencrypted wifi | 04:28 |
| Flannel | !video | Lasivian | 04:29 |
| ubottu | Lasivian: Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications | 04:29 |
| Flannel | Lasivian: ctrl-alt-f1 will give you a TTY | 04:29 |
| airtonix | Tim__, ok sorry i confused adsl as being the same as dsl.... seems your not getting the same benefit as a adsl modem would provide | 04:29 |
| Indoctrine | hell_lord: It had the drivers and everything loaded for my wireless and I had unencrypted wifi at the time and it wouldn't connect | 04:29 |
| Lasivian | a tty? | 04:29 |

| * Lasivian tries googling that | 04:29 | |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: it is happening in i915 it looks like - that's the intel graphics driver | 04:29 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, some messages are in spanish as I have spanish version | 04:29 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: turn off the screensaver or disable ones that cause it. most likely ones that use dri | 04:30 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, yep, intel here | 04:30 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, and what about when I use some games like xmoto for example? I get same result after a while of play | 04:30 |

| slaterock | I have some ati graphics card settings questions | 04:31 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: i dont' play games much on linux but i used to play starcraft in Xnest | 04:31 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, don't know that program/command | 04:31 |
| slaterock | I first enabled the restricted drivers that came with 8.04 | 04:31 |
| Flannel | Lasivian: a terminal | 04:32 |
| slaterock | then installed the latest 8.9 ati drivers | 04:32 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: you probably have to install a package for it | 04:32 |
| slaterock | however, I've noticed some decrease in performance in wow for example | 04:32 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: it allows you to start an X session in a window | 04:32 |
| Indoctrine | HyperD: My hard drive says that I have 200GB when I only have a 120GB drive. | 04:32 |
| Indoctrine | HyperD: Errr, the disk usage thing, I mean | 04:32 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, mmm. But the game can start in a window... | 04:32 |
| HyperD | weirdness. | 04:32 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: yes it can | 04:33 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: it's an X server - for what the game knows, it is starting full screen :) | 04:33 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, I mean now it can. And even that way after a while (say half an hour) it freezes my laptop | 04:33 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: i dunno, but when i have graphics problems i blame compiz | 04:34 |
| Lasivian | found it, ctrl-alt-backspace | 04:34 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, lol I do use compiz. Then that may be a point to check | 04:34 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: you could try it in an Xnest with a different xorg.conf with composite extensions disabled, or you coudl turn off compiz | 04:34 |
| kyhros | hi | 04:34 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: see i used to have a separate xorg.conf for starcraft and i'd use it with an Xnest :) | 04:34 |
| cedriczg | hell_lord, Thanks. Will look into that | 04:35 |
| hell_lord | cedriczg: it's something to waste your time with at least :-) | 04:35 |

| savid | Hi all. I just tried installing linux on my macbook (intel). I partitioned using bootcamp, and then re-partitioned during ubuntu install (according to this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro). The install went fine, but when I reboot and hold down the option key, it only shows the mac hd. Any ideas? | 04:40 |
| passive1 | rob__ : i mean something like bearshare imesh etc | 04:40 |
| rarero | please help without button i cannot add remove applications | 04:40 |

There are two, one for CF devices and the other for PCMCIA/Cardbus devices. However, when I insert either (and I've tried nearly a dozen) they are not recognized by the kernel (only "pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0" and the associated "pccard: card ejected from slot 0" when removing it). I | 04:53 |
| caimlas | have yenta_socket insmod'd (as well as pcmcia_core and pcmcia) but again, they're not recognized (nothing in lspci, no entry of devices being recognized in dmesg, etc.) | 04:53 |

| yokobr | ASrock, had you experienced troubles with the sound driver/modules? | 04:56 |
| guitargod | hew? | 04:56 |
| Hew | guitargod: 6.06 is a LTS release, so you can upgrade from LTS to LTS. Otherwise you would have to climb the ladder (in which case a fresh install is probably easier). | 04:56 |
| Hew | guitargod: relax, it takes time to type :-) | 04:57 |

| hell_lord | rarareh: or "fix broken packages" | 05:01 |
| ASrock | yokobr: ya it has much improved sence then | 05:01 |

| gluonman | I have a problem with DVD burning. I created an .iso from a movie I wanted to copy. Unfortunately, the resulting .iso was 7.3 GB in size. I can't burn 7.3 GB of data onto a 4.7 GB DVD+R. Even when I tried just backing up the DVD using dvdbackup, the resulting folder (VIDEO_TS) was 7.3 GB. What can I do to successfully copy my movie to another DVD+R? | 05:43 |
| noway | the device was installed during installation and the fix for stopping loss of wireless signal after three minutes of inactivity depends on knowing this | 05:43 |
| MrNaz` | anotherman if you need root regularly then perhaps Ubuntu is not the distro for you | 05:44 |
| anotherman | MrNaz`, why not lol | 05:44 |
| Joshooa | gluonman: You're going to be told you're off topic but best you can do is DVDShrink and Wine | 05:44 |
| lw0x15 | ello | 05:44 |
| noway | i know my device is a rtl8187 but issuing commands for it doesn't work either | 05:44 |
| Pnux | gluonman, looks like all you need is a double layer dvd | 05:44 |
| gluonman | Joshooa, I don't know why I'm off topic. Maybe I should specify that I'm doing this in Ubuntu and ask what's the Ubuntu way to solve my problem. | 05:45 |
| MrNaz` | anotherman Ubuntu deliberately makes it hard to log in as root because logging in as root regularly is a bad idea both for beginners and advanced linux admins. theres no reason you should need it, so ubuntu blocks it. if you have decided you will log in as root no matter what, then ubuntu will fight you every day until you eventually break it | 05:45 |
| Joshooa | gluonman: I don't know why either, but last night some guy got reemed for about 20 minutes for asking that same question | 05:45 |
| Ishnu | Could someone with the UNIX source please pastebin Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt? | 05:45 |
| MrNaz` | anotherman if you dont know logging in as root is a bad idea, then thats even more reason for you not to log in as root | 05:45 |
| anotherman | MrNaz`, I will break ubuntu then | 05:45 |
| tritium | MrNaz`: the root account can be enabled easily. It's just a bad idea. | 05:45 |
| gluonman | Joshooa, that's strange. Is DVDShrink free? | 05:46 |
| Styles | Hey | 05:46 |
| tritium | anotherman: read the URL I had ubottu send you about sudo | 05:46 |
| Styles | When Pidgen updated their client, did we automatically get it? | 05:46 |
| Joshooa | gluonman: I guess it's "illegal" or something. But yeah, dd can make isos, but not re-encode, you need something to do that, there are some linux alternatives, but so far what I've seen most people use DVDShrink. I think probably just like a trial or freeware version | 05:46 |
| MrNaz` | anotherman hey... its you time, feel free to waste it as you please | 05:46 |
| gluonman | Pnux, I was hoping for a method that would work without having to go to the store and get a double-layered DVD. | 05:46 |
| Clutz | anotherman: see the directions in the PM/IM | 05:46 |
| [Solars] | does ubuntu support lightscribe? | 05:47 |

| gluonman | Joshooa, I'll look into DVDShrink. It runs with wine? | 05:47 |
| [Solars] | !lightscribe | 05:47 |

| mib_cp3dyn | hi. i've got a major question about installing ubuntu | 05:50 |
| roe_ | mib_cp3dyn, congratulations? | 05:50 |
| Styles | bobertdos, I don't understand, I would think Gnome would handle updates for programs and Ubuntu would just focous on the OS. | 05:51 |
| Styles | Since Gnome is the gui layer | 05:51 |
| edgy | Ishnu: you know about usbmon and don't know about google? | 05:51 |
| Joshooa | gluonman: Yes it should work fine, unless you have a bug or some error but I've read good reviews for it's reliability with Wine, sometimes it did freeze for people during encoding, but overall good. And yes, I believe you are legal and in your rights, but honestly, even if you weren't, I don't care, and I'd still help you cause the technology is cool and knowledge is power! :) | 05:51 |
| Ishnu | well | 05:52 |
| Ishnu | i tried finding it | 05:52 |
| Ishnu | but i had little success - i am new to linux | 05:52 |
| gluonman | Joshooa, amen. | 05:52 |
| bobertdos | Styles: Gnome really has nothing to do with the programs within it; it's just an environment. It is Connical and the Ubuntu project responsible for updates. Since Ubuntu is not a rolling distro, it really doesn't do any updates besides security and bug fixes. | 05:52 |
| mib_cp3dyn | okay, so in the installation, what partition option do i select? here's my setup. i have 1 hard drive, with 2 small backup-like partitions (shipped with machine) 1 big vista partition and about 50gb of unallocated space for ubuntu. which option in the installer do i pick for it to take the unallocated space and place ubuntu there, without harming my other stuff | 05:52 |
| mib_cp3dyn | p.s. i'm an ubuntu first-timer | 05:53 |
| Styles | bobertdos, ahh | 05:53 |
| roe_ | mib_cp3dyn, well, the guided install should offer to use "free" or "unallocated" space | 05:53 |
| Lamprey | Question, what irc client are people using? Right now I'm using Pigin with the irc plugin. | 05:54 |
| mib_cp3dyn | so "Guided-use the largest continous free space" is the one to pick? will it affect any of my other partitions? | 05:54 |

| tritium | Tim__: if you need to add them manually, add them to /etc/resolv.conf | 06:12 |
| Lamprey | Tim edit /etc/resolv.conf | 06:12 |
| Roath | i want to install linux on a partition but i hear that vista doesn't have the ability to change the boot list, how do i get the ability to choose the OS's then? | 06:13 |
| tritium | Roath: grub | 06:13 |
| Roath | what's that? | 06:13 |
| tritium | !grub | Roath | 06:13 |
| ubottu | Roath: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 06:13 |
| Roath | <- linux newb | 06:13 |
| izinucs | Roath, Grub will overwrite the windows boot loader and give you a menu.. when partitioning make 3 partitions.. root "/" = 6-12 gigs.... /swap = 1gig max.... and the rest /home | 06:13 |
| bobertdos | and it automatically gets installed with Ubuntu | 06:13 |
| Roath | uuuh, nice | 06:14 |
| Roath | that solves that problem :D | 06:14 |
| Ishnu | Roath - installing Ubuntu is very simple - what seems complicated now requires next to no effort from you | 06:14 |
| izinucs | Roath, do you have more than one partition on the drive now? | 06:14 |
| Tim__ | tritium and lamprey: do u normally edit it or isnt added automatically once it is connected to isp | 06:14 |
| tritium | Tim__: I never touch it | 06:15 |
| Roath | yeah, i installed it on my notebook, its just that i wish to keep vista on my desktop | 06:15 |
| Tim__ | tritium how did u setup ur dsl connection | 06:15 |
| Roath | love ubuntu but sadly still a linux noob | 06:15 |
| tritium | Tim__: normally, if you receive your IP address via dhcp, you don't need to set it up. | 06:15 |
| mike-solidus | hey, i need the kernel to recognize my ICH10 intel sata controller cards hard drives partitions but it does not, I know this means I need a newer kernel, but does one exist in ubuntu's repos? | 06:15 |
| izinucs | Roath, time cures all ignorance :) | 06:15 |
| Tim__ | i did receive the ip address | 06:15 |
| bobertdos | Roath: So you're, what? running wubi right now? | 06:15 |
| Lamprey | I don't either.. dhcp daemon will add your dns server | 06:15 |
| Tim__ | if mozilla is not working | 06:16 |
| tritium | Tim__: plug dsl modem into phone line | 06:16 |
| Ishnu | Does the Ubuntu installer automatically make a swap when you choose the default partition option? | 06:16 |
| Roath | wubi? i just installed ubuntu on my notebook, no idea what wubi is | 06:16 |
| Tim__ | i am logged into my isp | 06:16 |
| izinucs | Ishnu, yes | 06:16 |
| Ishnu | ah k cool | 06:16 |
| Ishnu | does having a swap make much difference? | 06:16 |
| Tim__ | i am longged in to the isp and provided local and remote ip address | 06:16 |
| bobertdos | Roath: oh, I misread your post, sorry. But we still need to know -- do you have more than one partition right now on your desktop? | 06:17 |
| izinucs | Ishnu, depending on your system and ram it may never be used.. but when you need it .. you need it... 1 gig should be plenty. | 06:17 |
| Ishnu | Ok cool | 06:17 |
| Roath | yeah, i have a 50gb partition i made for the purpose of installing ubuntu | 06:17 |
| Ishnu | hmm | 06:17 |
| bobertdos | Roath: unformatted as of yet, correct? | 06:17 |
| izinucs | Roath, split that so you have 3.. make root 8 gigs | 06:17 |
| Ishnu | You dont want a partition, am I right? I thought Ubuntu just likes using free space? | 06:18 |
| Roath | well, i made the partition in vista, so i guess thats true | 06:18 |
| tritium | izinucs: he can just let the installer automatically partition it | 06:18 |
| bobertdos | Ishnu: You can do it either way. | 06:18 |
| Roath | why 8 gigs? | 06:18 |
| izinucs | tritium, yes.. but if he needs to reinstall later (like most all noobs.. even me) it's helpful to save all your date in a seperate /home | 06:18 |
| butter | How do I connect to a new server with xchat ubuntu ? | 06:19 |
| tritium | izinucs: k.i.s.s. | 06:19 |
| ltracy_ | hey, I'm getting a E: /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.13.1-5ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 | 06:19 |
| ltracy_ | . I haven't updated in quite awhile. Any suggestions on how to fix it? | 06:19 |
| bobertdos | Roath: The amount is a little arbitrary. The point is that most people don't need incredibly much space for the root filesystem. | 06:19 |
| izinucs | Roath, you could probably get away with less. but as you experiment you'll find that some things you install get put in / (root) and not your data partition (/home) | 06:19 |
| ltracy_ | (That is when I'm trying to use update manager to update) | 06:20 |
| Tim__ | how could i check if ubunto has setup my network card to ip dhcp protocol | 06:20 |
| mike-solidus | cmon, surely someone in here knows about the kernel? your a massive branch of linux. . . this is the 4th day of me checking into irc trying to find someone | 06:21 |
| tritium | Tim__: have you configured it at all? If not, network-manager should be handling it for dhcp. | 06:21 |
| izinucs | tritium, yea.. I agree mostly.. so you wait until they've been running the system for a while and bork something that they can't back out of and end up reformatting and reinstalling.. loosing all data | 06:21 |
| sysdoc | Tim__: ifconfig | 06:21 |
| tritium | izinucs: if something breaks, then backup data and reinstall | 06:21 |
| ltracy_ | mike-solidus, what about the kernel? | 06:21 |
| bobertdos | Uh oh, did we scare him away? haha | 06:21 |
| Tim__ | tritium i havent...i am wondering why it said remote ip address and local address | 06:21 |
| tritium | Tim__: what's "it"? | 06:21 |
| izinucs | tritium, just trying to avoid that step | 06:22 |
| Lamprey | ltracy - you need to update your repositories... go to system->administration->software sources.. when you close it it will update.. either that or go to a terminal window and run sudo apt-get update | 06:22 |
| tritium | izinucs: it may not happen | 06:22 |
| Tim__ | tritium :let me check | 06:22 |
| izinucs | mike-solidus, the newer kernel is part of the next release.. you could install it now if you like.. not the kernel alone but the entire distro.. but first ask in #ubuntu+1 and see if anyone know if it addresses your issue.. | 06:23 |
| mike-solidus | Itracy_: I have a problem with its support of my intel ICH10 sata controller card, I got ubuntu to install by changing the mode to ahci but i can't leave it as that because windows no longer recognizes it when it is in ahci mode. I've poked around a little and found that ICH10 support has recently been added into the kernel and is availabe in intel_ata.ko and uhci. But i cant find an answer past that | 06:23 |
| zohreh | hello | 06:23 |
| zohreh | how to install qt in ubuntu 7.10 | 06:24 |
| mike-solidus | izinucs: sweet, i'll go check, didn't know about ubuntu+1 | 06:24 |
| izinucs | tritium, may not, might not, probably won't .... then Murphy shows up and changes everything. | 06:24 |
| bruenig | while :;do :;done | 06:24 |
| bruenig | woops wrong channel | 06:24 |
| zohreh | any idea? | 06:26 |
| ltracy_ | I'm still getting the "Subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" after running apt-get update and re-checking for updates | 06:27 |
| Allan_Rhae | hello all | 06:27 |
| Allan_Rhae | hello all | 06:28 |
| bobertdos | Allan_Rhae: How may we help you? | 06:28 |
| chubs | he left | 06:28 |
| bobertdos | I see that :p | 06:29 |
| thorny_sun | how can i get a service to launch automatically at bootup? | 06:29 |
| nnull | thorny_sun¬ system > admin > services | 06:30 |
| nickgarvey | thorny_sun: what kind of service? | 06:30 |
| thorny_sun | i've gotta do this on a server -- it's a fastcgi service | 06:30 |
| nickgarvey | yeah what nnull said then | 06:30 |
| thorny_sun | but it's on a server-- so i don't have a gui | 06:30 |
| tritium | thorny_sun: update-rc.d | 06:31 |
| thorny_sun | where is that? | 06:31 |
| thorny_sun | tritium: ? | 06:32 |
| roe_ | thorny_sun, /etc/rc.local? | 06:32 |
| tritium | thorny_sun: /usr/sbin/update-rc.d | 06:32 |
| tritium | thorny_sun: you asked me where it is, so I told you. | 06:32 |
| thorny_sun | oh it's a binary | 06:34 |
| Tim__ | just setting up a dsl connection seems to be a rocket science in ubunto | 06:34 |
| nnull | lol Tim__ how so | 06:34 |
| nnull | you mosut have a modem huh | 06:34 |
| nnull | must* | 06:35 |
| izinucs | Tim__, do you have a router hooked up? | 06:35 |
| tritium | Tim__: no | 06:35 |
| Tim__ | everything is hookedup | 06:35 |
| magnetron | Tim__, do you have a router? | 06:35 |
| Tim__ | i even logged into my isp server | 06:35 |
| magnetron | "logged in"? | 06:35 |
| izinucs | Tim__, no .. I mean IS there a router between your computer and the connection to the isp? | 06:35 |
| Tim__ | it picked up the dns server too | 06:35 |
| Tim__ | just a simple setup | 06:35 |
| magnetron | Tim__, does the simple setup include a router? | 06:36 |
| Tim__ | computer-adsl router-phone line | 06:36 |
| user__ | 为什么是英文阿？ | 06:36 |
| magnetron | !zh | user__ | 06:36 |
| ubottu | user__: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:36 |
| izinucs | Tim__, set the router up to make the connection to the dsl connection.. the capability is built in | 06:36 |
| user__ | ubuntu-cn | 06:36 |
| nickgarvey | user__: /j #ubuntu-cn | 06:37 |
| Tim__ | how do i know if my network card in ubunto is configured for dynamic ip address | 06:37 |
| izinucs | Tim__, the computer OS typically determins that. | 06:37 |
| nomingzi | where can i find information on the steps/procedures on how to install VMware Server onto Ubuntu Desktop AMD64 ? | 06:37 |
| ltracy_ | Where do we paste to? | 06:38 |
| magnetron | !vmware | nomingzi | 06:38 |
| ubottu | nomingzi: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 06:38 |
| nickgarvey | !vmware | nomingzi | 06:38 |
| nickgarvey | magnetron: touche | 06:38 |
| magnetron | ltracy_, read topic | 06:38 |
| izinucs | nomingzi, you download the tar file from vmware and compile it.. instructions on vmware's site. | 06:38 |
| user__ | 谢谢！ | 06:38 |
| ekow | Simple question, how do i create a shortcut to my documents folder on the desktop? | 06:38 |
| CaptainMurphy | Has anyone ever delt with the [errno 5] Input/output install error while installing ubuntu 8.04? | 06:39 |
| ekow | anyone? just trying to make a shortcut... | 06:41 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: Yes I just had that the other night actually, had to get a new CD in the end but installed and using it now | 06:41 |
| ltracy_ | This is what I'm getting from update manager when I try to do an update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/ . On advice from here, I closed update manager, ran apt-get update, and then did a check for new updates (in update manager) and I still get the same error. | 06:41 |
| CaptainMurphy | wait all you did was get a new CD? | 06:41 |
| Lamprey | ekow - right click on the folder and select "make link", then move the link to your desktop | 06:42 |
| Joshoo1 | ekow: Just right click on desktop, create launcher, change type to location, and create it all with the info | 06:42 |
| Joshoo1 | ekow: Or what he said | 06:42 |
| [Solars] | anyone know where the guest module is for virtualbox located? I checked the /opt/ directory and its empty | 06:42 |
| izinucs | CaptainMorgan, you might also need to use the "alternate" cd for machines with limited resources or smaller amounts of ram | 06:42 |
| CaptainMurphy | jashoo1, what exactly did you do? I've been pulling my hair out over this for the last few days | 06:43 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: Yes it wasn't able to copy from the CD I had, even though it was an official one from my Ubuntu book, used an older burnt CD I had, and here I am. | 06:43 |
| CaptainMorgan | izinucs, I might? | 06:43 |
| CaptainMurphy | how old? | 06:43 |
| ekow | Lamprey thanks | 06:43 |
| izinucs | CaptainMorgan, depends on your machine.. if it's older or doesn't meet the minimum ram amount for the live cd. | 06:43 |
| CaptainMorgan | izinucs, no | 06:44 |
| Lamprey | ekow: if you're trying to do if from the terminal window use the command sudo ln -s <original folder> ~/Desktop/<linked folder name> | 06:44 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: I used a 7.10 CD cause I didn't have any other 8.04 CD | 06:44 |
| MrPickl1 | by any chance, would someone know of a good way to compile an uncompressed disk image into an .iso for the sake of making something that could have a valid boot flag? | 06:44 |
| Lamprey | ekow np :) | 06:44 |
| ltracy_ | how can I reinstall the same version of a package? | 06:44 |
| CaptainMorgan | izinucs, think for a second. | 06:44 |
| Clutz | will someone take a look at my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52324/ and/or my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/52325/ and help me figure out why I get a black screen and my computer locks up after the ubuntu loading bar finishes? | 06:44 |
| Pulpie | hey all 1247 people | 06:44 |
| CaptainMurphy | okay. I've tried 804 and 804 alternate and I've tried makeing a usb version using unetbootin but none of that has worked | 06:45 |
| Clutz | Pulpie, one of them is you and another is a bot o.o | 06:45 |
| Joshoo1 | hey Pulpie | 06:45 |

| Pulpie | Clutz: thats not mine... | 06:45 |
| Clutz | Pulpie: nono i know that | 06:45 |
| CaptainMurphy | Its possible to update to hardy herion after I install fiesty, right? | 06:45 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: I'd do at least 7.10, if possible | 06:45 |
| === user__ is now known as xiaobin0942 | ||
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: Yes | 06:45 |
| slaterock | anyone got spore working? | 06:45 |
| Clutz | Pulpie: just pointing out that you said hi to yourself and a bot | 06:46 |
| izinucs | CaptainMorgan, you have to go to Gutsy first then Hardy | 06:46 |
| jim_p | does anyone know if it is possible to configure samba through a web interface? | 06:46 |
| Clutz | Pulpie: sorry for my bad attempt at humor | 06:46 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: That's where I am now actually, I had to eat dinner while finishing the upgrade, forgot to plug in laptop, and now it keeps wanting to do a partial upgrade over and over | 06:46 |
| MrPickl1 | slaterock, it will install with wine, but I cant get the program to contact the network | 06:46 |
| slaterock | hmm | 06:46 |
| CaptainMurphy | ah | 06:46 |
| Clutz | :-( | 06:46 |

| Clutz | wow | 06:47 |
| CaptainMurphy | I don't get whats wrong with hardy, it really died hard on me. Dpkg got damaged somehow during a normal update. Now I can't install becuase of some huge bug they haven't fixed in the hardy installer? | 06:47 |
| koala_man | MrPickl1: makeisoimage -hard-disk-boot -b diskimage /somewhere > lul.iso I think should do it | 06:47 |
| Pulpie | Clutz: /names then /lastlog bot | 06:47 |
| ltracy_ | hmm, did anybody look at my paste? | 06:47 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: repaste it | 06:47 |
| MrPickl1 | slaterock, im sure its being worked on, but i havent had much success - btw type screenames at the beginning of msg to ensure the reciepient can see it | 06:47 |
| ltracy_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/52360/ | 06:47 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: Tried stuff like dpkg --configure -a? | 06:48 |
| slaterock | MrPickLl alright | 06:48 |
| MrPickl1 | koala_man, that sounds like an awesome way to do that- would makeisoimage be in the repositories if i dont already have it? | 06:48 |
| Clutz | so who knows where i can find a guide to get EVGA e-GeForce 7600 GT 512MB AGP 8X graphics card to work on ubuntu 8.04 all traditional methods have failed thus far | 06:48 |
| CaptainMurphy | Jashoo1 yes, it messed things up hardcore | 06:48 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: what are you doing? | 06:48 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie, just trying to do updates | 06:49 |
| koala_man | MrPickl1: yes, under genisoimage. it's what used to be called mkisofs | 06:49 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: how so, apt-get update? | 06:49 |
| macvr | hi guys... does anyone know of an easy to use video editing software? | 06:49 |
| Lamprey | Clutz, you should be able to google that one.. I know there are a couple of guides in the ubuntu forums | 06:49 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie, update manager | 06:49 |
| koala_man | MrPickl1: uhm and I meant genisoimage the first time too | 06:49 |
| izinucs | Clutz, usually that works right out of the box.. then you enable the restricted driver and all is peachy.. what happened with yours? | 06:49 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: dont know what that is really, i dont use ubuntu i use debian | 06:50 |
| MrPickl1 | sweet, ill give that a try. Many thanks from the wondern00b | 06:50 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie, same thing | 06:50 |
| CaptainMurphy | This was a murphy's law kind of situation. I got a virus on my windows partition that basically knocked out that part of the system, then my ubuntu partition died when I tried to run dpkg config. Now I have a really really big paperweight where I used to have a computer | 06:50 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: actually its very different | 06:50 |
| Clutz | izinucs: the PCI-E one works out of box, i have the AGP one | 06:50 |
| CaptainMorgan | izinucs, please stop. Thank you. | 06:50 |
| izinucs | Clutz, still.. | 06:50 |
| koala_man | do you have a lot of paper to go with it? | 06:50 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie, no, not debian and ubuntu, update manager uses aptitude to do updates I'm pretty sure | 06:50 |
| izinucs | CaptainMorgan, what?.. not talking to you. | 06:50 |
| Clutz | izinucs: after 3 different methods of getting drivers, my screen goes black and my pc locks up after the ubuntu loading screen | 06:50 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: it does but i dont know what command it runs | 06:51 |
| Clutz | izinucs: woudl you like to see the xorg.conf and/or the Xorg.0.log? | 06:51 |
| izinucs | Clutz | 06:51 |
| izinucs | Clutz.. sure. | 06:51 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie, well, I get the same message now if I try to do apt-get install bzr (which is really what I want right now), as it tries to update the package util-linux | 06:51 |
| Keal | how come not a single linux distro has taken advantage of a method to feed suggestions of the people directly to congress? | 06:51 |
| macvr | hi guys... does anyone know of an easy to use video editing software? | 06:51 |
| izinucs | avidimux | 06:51 |
| CaptainMorgan | izinucs, right, you aren't - so stop please. Thank you. | 06:51 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: have you tried to install from source? | 06:51 |
| Clutz | izinucs: xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52324/ Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/52325/ | 06:52 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie, util-linux or bzr | 06:52 |
| macvr | ? | 06:52 |
| Lamprey | macvr - google for linux video editing | 06:52 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie, I suppose I could do that for bzr, but if I'm gonna lose all use of packages from now on I might as well go back to gentoo or slackware :) | 06:52 |
| Joshoo1 | So, Ubuntu keeps telling me it wants to do a partial upgrade and then when I try it tells me it can't do an upgrade from 'hardy' to 'gutsy' which is good, but why does it want me to keep trying to do it then and how do I not do it anymore? | 06:52 |
| Lamprey | there are a few editors out there | 06:52 |
| chubs | Keal, ? | 06:52 |
| jark | does anyone know where mplayer w32 codecs are located in ubuntu 7.10. I used synaptic to install mplayer. | 06:52 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: lol | 06:52 |
| esac | does anybody know if there are any alternatives to rdesktop | 06:52 |
| bobertdos | !medibuntu | jark | 06:53 |
| ubottu | jark: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 06:53 |
| macvr | lamprey>i could have googled but from the repos? | 06:53 |
| Crazz | hey guys | 06:53 |
| AngryKoala | hey there | 06:53 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: try apt-get update upgrade dist-upgrade | 06:53 |
| nomingzi | izinucs: The new version of VMware Server 2.0 has released, should I download and compile it, instead of following the old steps in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server/AMD64 | 06:53 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie you know where I get the ubuntu .deb files? | 06:54 |
| CaptainMurphy | Jashoo1 is it really better to do it from 7.10 rather than 7.04? | 06:54 |
| Crazz | i have a question to ask but i don't want to be rude if you guys don't like help me please things... i can't check the site won't load on my iMac too old of a browser | 06:54 |
| ltracy_ | Pulpie like where can I get ubuntu-2.13.1-5ubuntu2.deb? | 06:54 |
| izinucs | nomingzi, I like the new 2.o.. works good for me.. even though mine is 32 bit. | 06:54 |
| CaptainMurphy | becuase I already ahve the 7.04 iso on the machine? | 06:54 |
| Lamprey | macvr: oh.. hehe sorry.. I'm not sure.. let me check what's available | 06:54 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: yeah google search for them | 06:54 |
| Clutz | any thoughts izinucs? | 06:54 |
| Pulpie | ltracy_: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages | 06:54 |
| chubs | !ask | Crazz | 06:54 |
| ubottu | Crazz: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 06:54 |
| nomingzi | izinucs: do i need to download the Tar, and compile it ? i m not good in compiling | 06:55 |
| macvr | Lamprey > i have tried pitivi but it just seems to freeze up on my!!! | 06:55 |

| kinection | I'm trying to get a Dell 720 printer working and I need to find the location of the ppds, the forum post i am looking at directs me to /usr/share/cups/models, however, that folder no longer exists in hardy heron, where do I go to find the PPDs? I'm looking for the Lexmark Z600 (Dell 720). | 06:55 |
| bobertdos | Crazz: What are you using for a browser? What kind of an iMac do you have? | 06:55 |
| CaptainMurphy | 9% done downloading 7.10 | 06:55 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: I would only say so cause it's new and will have less updates and upgrades than an older version, and it can leave other stuff on your system that wouldn't be used in a newer version. Whichever one works for you though. | 06:55 |
| izinucs | Clutz, xorg.conf looks like you've been manually building it. looks ok.. logs I don't read so well. xorg.conf typically doesn't have everything you have in yours.. pretty blank actually. So what 3 methods did you try to get the card working? | 06:55 |
| CaptainMurphy | The thing I'm worried about is how far the bug goes back | 06:56 |
| Lamprey | macvr: avidemux and kino are both in the repo's.. do a search in synaptic for video editor and it should pull them up | 06:56 |
| Crazz | 1999 iMac G3 333mhz proc 32mb ram 6mb vid 6gb hdd Mac OS 8.6 IE 4.5 | 06:56 |
| Lamprey | there a a couple of others, but those two are popular | 06:56 |
| Clutz | izinucs: all except the resolutions were automatically generated by nvidia setup | 06:56 |
| Clutz | izinucs: it didn't work before i added the resolutions either, was hoping it would help | 06:56 |
| izinucs | nomingzi, tar yes.. compiling it is pretty easy.. sudo apt-get install build-essential.. then move to the directory where you unpaked the tar file and sudo ./vmware-yada-yada.pl | 06:57 |
| CaptainMurphy | I read this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600126 all abou tthe bug and people were doing all kinds of crazy stuff to get it working, pulling out ram, mixing up master and slave drives and cdroms, all kinds of stuff | 06:57 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: Well, I tried 8.04, had the bug, tried 7.10, and now it works, so something in between there gave me the problem but supposedly it just means your CD is messed up, even getting a different copy of 8.04 SHOULD work, but, you never know. | 06:57 |
| izinucs | Clutz.. so on install of Ubuntu the rez was borked and you went directly to xorg to edit? | 06:57 |
| Crazz | i boot to the cd load the kernel and get Ramdisk incomplete write -28 !=32768 invalid compressed format kernal panic unable to mount fs on unkown-block(1,0) | 06:57 |
| Clutz | izinucs: first i tried doing the standard, enable restricted driver method, got that black screen of doom on boot so i restored my xorg.conf | 06:58 |
| Joshoo1 | CaptainMurphy: I didn't have internet at the time I was trying to do it, just my collection of Linux CDs/DVDs from the last year or so, so I just tried different CDs | 06:58 |

| CaptainMurphy | I tried 3 copies of the 8.04 CD, all md5 verfied one of them was the alternate CD | 06:58 |
| bobertdos | crazz: I'm not even sure you could run the alternate with that... | 06:58 |
| Clutz | izinucs: seconds i tried using the driver from the nvidia site, same thing | 06:58 |
| Clutz | izinucs: 3rd i tried envy, also same result | 06:58 |
| Crazz | ubuntu_PowerPC_dapper | 06:58 |
| macvr | Lamprey> oops... didnt realize i could do a description search in synaptic[noob!] | 06:58 |
| izinucs | Clutz, does this card work on windows? or have you tried? | 06:58 |
| Clutz | izinucs: lastly i tried going back to the nvidia driver from the site but added resolutions to the xorg.conf hoping it would help | 06:59 |
| CaptainMurphy | and the install CD worked on a laptop of mine like a month ago, so I'm sure its not the CD, I think its just the installer is buggy somehow and it hits some files it has trouble with and then gives and I/O error | 06:59 |
| Clutz | izinucs: works fine on windows | 06:59 |
| bobertdos | Crazz: yup, that's pretty limited........I'm not quite sure what to suggest. | 06:59 |
| Clutz | izinucs: works mildly on vesa: 800x600 resolution with no 3d | 06:59 |
| izinucs | Clutz, have you tried "nv" instead of vesa? | 07:00 |
| Clutz | izinucs: not yet | 07:00 |
| mistform | how do I empty the trash bin? | 07:00 |
| Crazz | have you hear of a distro callled Damn Small Linux? | 07:00 |
| Lamprey | macvr: np, drop back in and let me know which you prefer after you get a chance to use them. :) | 07:00 |
| Clutz | izinucs: should i try that now on my default xorg.conf or the one i showed you up there? | 07:00 |
| mistform | Crazz, DSL, yes. used for flash-mob computing | 07:00 |
| MrPickl1 | koala_man, you still in here? | 07:00 |
| CaptainMurphy | Crazz: I've used DSL before, its good | 07:00 |
| izinucs | Clutz, sure | 07:00 |
| Clutz | izinucs: which? | 07:01 |
| macvr | Lamprey> sure... | 07:01 |
| macvr | thank u | 07:01 |
| phpcurious | hi | 07:01 |
| izinucs | Clutz, switch nvidia for nv | 07:01 |
| AngryKoala | In HH, I tried to make a new login in a window and it said that my x server was configured badly, possibly the driver? | 07:01 |
| Clutz | kk | 07:01 |
| Crazz | well i can't use the flash part but you think there is a way to install it from os 8? | 07:01 |
| phpcurious | hello how do you run a .bin file in ubuntu? | 07:01 |
| bobertdos | Crazz: yeah, there's that, and Puppy,,,,,and a few others. I don't know which ones are compatible with PowerPC Macs though. | 07:01 |
| CaptainMurphy | bin stands for binary, whats it for? | 07:01 |
| phpcurious | actually i want to install a newly downloaded zend studio for eclipse | 07:01 |
| phpcurious | it's in .bin format | 07:02 |
| CaptainMurphy | was there also a .cue file? | 07:02 |
| Lamprey | phpcurious : technicaly you can try to "run" any program. do a sudo chmod +x <filename> to make it executable | 07:02 |
| chubs | just chmod +x it and then ./crazy.bin phpcurious | 07:02 |
| CaptainMurphy | if so then you could use a CD burning program | 07:02 |
| mistform | how do I empty the trash bin as root??? | 07:02 |
| phpcurious | okay wait let me check it | 07:02 |
| chubs | it needs to be executable before you can execute it | 07:02 |
| MrPickl1 | ... for anyone who knows or has used genisoimage to make a bootable cd, Im getting an error related to pathspec, not sure what it's referring to | 07:02 |
| Crazz | just ran system profiler and processor is PowerPC G3 | 07:03 |
| AngryKoala | What is a proper driver for an 8800GT in xorg.conf? | 07:03 |
| Crazz | that help narrow it down a bit? | 07:03 |
| jim_p | AngryKoala: nvidia | 07:03 |
| bobertdos | !trash | mistform | 07:03 |
| ubottu | mistform: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 07:03 |
| AngryKoala | it says that it is configured badly | 07:03 |
| jim_p | AngryKoala: provided that you have the relevant package installed | 07:03 |
| mistform | bobertdos, that does nothing. | 07:03 |
| mistform | no help whatsover | 07:04 |
| Clutz | AngryKoala: I only managed to get 8800GT working with the nvidia driver from the nvidia website | 07:04 |
| Lamprey | angrykoala you'll want to use the NV driver over the Nvidia driver I believe? | 07:04 |
| AngryKoala | I used envy | 07:04 |
| mistform | whatsoever* | 07:04 |
| Clutz | AngryKoala: it will also autoconfigure your xorg.conf | 07:04 |
| bobertdos | mistform: not even when you do sudo rm to that location? | 07:04 |
| mistform | bobertdos, ty, now THAT helps | 07:04 |
| izinucs | Clutz, did you change to the nv driver? | 07:04 |
| taknikin | Im having trouble getting my screen res back to its original options | 07:04 |
| macvr | guys... how many of u are using pidgin? i'd like to know if i can turn off the notification when each person logs in/out | 07:04 |
| AngryKoala | ok, but my problem is that when I try to open a "new login in a window" it says my x server is not properly configured | 07:04 |
| taknikin | Im stuck at no hgher than 800x600 | 07:04 |
| Lamprey | angrykoala my bad.. you're probably trying to get glx and desktop effects for the cool stuff? | 07:04 |
| Clutz | izinucs: yeah, about to reboot | 07:04 |
| jim_p | do not use stupid tools to magically create xystem critical files like xorg.conf!!! | 07:04 |
| Joshoo1 | whenever I try to check my repositories in Synaptic, it tells me they've changed and I must hit reload, after I hit reload and then it updates and I try to view/edit my repositories, it does the same thing, and I can't do it. | 07:05 |
| jim_p | *system critical | 07:05 |
| izinucs | Clutz, just ctrl+alt+backspace | 07:05 |
| AngryKoala | <--- Stupid tools for stupid people | 07:05 |
| bobertdos | mistform: and actually, you want to do: sudo rm <that location>/* | 07:05 |
| phpcurious | Lamprey: it works now. thanks for the info! | 07:05 |
| Clutz | izinucs: ok | 07:05 |
| jim_p | Joshoo1: paste your sources.list somewhere | 07:05 |
| Lamprey | joshoo1: have you tried running sudo apt-get update from a terminal window? | 07:05 |
| Joshoo1 | Lamprey: Yes | 07:06 |
| mistform | bobertdos, how do I remove directories? | 07:06 |
| mistform | bobertdos, without emptying the files first | 07:06 |
| chubs | mistform, rm -r | 07:06 |
| macvr | guys... how many of u are using pidgin? i'd like to know if i can turn off the notification when each person logs in/out | 07:06 |
| Joshoo1 | jim_p: What do you mean paste my sources.list somewhere? | 07:07 |
| mistform | chubs, could I make a launcher to "sudo rm -r /home/mist/.local/share/Trash/files/*", or would this be not a good thing to do? | 07:07 |
| Clutz | pulled up pidgin on another computer while i do this | 07:07 |
| AngryKoala | my x server says "cannot start a new display, perhaps it is not configured well" | 07:07 |
| izinucs | macvr, there is an option for that.. can't remember where though | 07:07 |
| bobertdos | mistform: You may actually want to cd into the trash and then: sudo rm -rf . | 07:07 |
| jim_p | Joshoo1: your problem seems to be something is /etc/apt/sources.list . paste its content in pastebin for us to see | 07:07 |
| chubs | mistform, wouldn't make a difference but I don't see the point. you'd probably have to use gksu since sudo is called from the command line only also | 07:07 |
| macvr | izinucs>i just cant find that option! what are u using? | 07:08 |
| chubs | macvr, check in the plugins | 07:08 |
| izinucs | macvr, for irc? here? xchat and sometimes irssi | 07:08 |
| bmxer | need help with ipod it charges but wont recognize any suggestions? | 07:09 |
| mistform | chubs, whats the difference between running gksu and sudo from the commandline? I tried gksu and it didn't give me all the correct permissions for a game to download patch files | 07:09 |
| izinucs | !ipod | bmxer | 07:09 |
| ubottu | bmxer: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 07:09 |
| macvr | chubs> i have no plugins enabled... or which one does this? | 07:09 |
| Flannel | mistform: gksu should be used for graphical programs, sudo for command line programs | 07:10 |
| bmxer | iz | 07:10 |
| Lamprey | ubottu: ewww. rockbox? That's might not be a good suggestion for someone that just wants to sync their ipod on linux... | 07:10 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:10 |

| Keal | nite zzz | 07:11 |
| mistform | macvr, press Ctrl+P for preferences in Pidgin. Then go to Sounds, and the box near the bottom should have a list of things you can check/unchek. look there | 07:11 |
| jark | I have a medibuntu problem. I tried to install mplayer, but I get this error " Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>=1.18.3) but 1.18.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed | 07:11 |
| Clutz | izinucs: no such luck, my screen is blank (like it's out of range) but i could hear it start | 07:11 |
| AngryKoala | my x server says "cannot start a new display, perhaps it is not configured well" when I try to make a new login in a new window | 07:11 |
| Joshoo1 | Here's my sources list! http://paste.ubuntu.com/52367/ | 07:11 |
| izinucs | Clutz, during all your trials and errors did you happen to install nvidia-settings? | 07:11 |
| voidmage | I'm getting a "no space left on device" error when I know that's not the case. baobab reports the correct amount of free space but df doesn't | 07:12 |
| voidmage | where can I find to fix this? | 07:12 |
| Clutz | izinucs: only if it was installed along with the restricted driver, nvidia driver. or envy | 07:12 |
| Crazz | what is the chances of finding a version on linux you can install from mac os? | 07:12 |
| Flannel | Joshoo1: Whats the problem? Oh. It could be a bug in the version from -proposed. You really shouldn't be running proposed (and also should think twice before enabling backports as well) | 07:12 |
| bobertdos | Flannel: You once told someone how to do disk checks on boot using the file touch function. How did that go again? | 07:13 |
| Flannel | bobertdos: sudo touch /forcefsck then reboot | 07:13 |
| voidmage | what | 07:13 |
| voidmage | this is weird | 07:13 |
| mistform | macvr, any luck? | 07:13 |
| Flannel | bobertdos: there's a flag you can pass to shutdown too. You'd have to check the manpage | 07:14 |
| macvr | izinucs> how are they ? easy to use? do u guys actually type another users username or do u just click and it comes? | 07:14 |
| voidmage | anyone have any ideas? | 07:14 |
| bobertdos | Flannel: Yeah, I read the manpage, but when I realized it was meant to modify file flags, I realized I forgot the filename. | 07:15 |
| izinucs | Clutz, I'm thinking that maybe you have an install of 2 different nvidia drivers.. other than synaptic I dont know another way to check that out.. before looking .. you might install nvidia-settings and change the driver back to nvidia in xorg.. restart x and then off the System/admin menu you'll find nvidia-settings.. might be able to make the changes there.. actually run it from terminal.. | 07:15 |
| macvr | mistform>i dont have probs with sounds but will check if there is anything there for no displaying the log events | 07:15 |
| taknikin | !paste | 07:15 |

| Joshoo1 | Flannel: I want the backports but they aren't important, just fun. it keeps telling me it needs to run a partial upgrade and wants to try to go from hardy to gutsy, I can't even get into repositories to uncheck stuff, I can only edit sources.list | 07:15 |
| Flannel | bobertdos: if /forcefsck exists, it'll do a fsck, if /fastboot exists it'll explicitly not fsck. If they're both... I'm not really sure. | 07:16 |
| complex_number | how do I watch a DVD in ubuntu? | 07:16 |
| izinucs | macvr, xchat is much easier than pidgin for irc.. irssi is a terminal app and great to have around in case your gui doesn't work. | 07:16 |
| voidmage | baobab is reporting 440.8GB as used, but df is reporting all 466G as used | 07:16 |
| Flannel | Joshoo1: sources.list is all you need. Comment out the backports and proprosed lines. | 07:16 |
| voidmage | where can I find the 26GB discrepancy? | 07:16 |
| samsss | i dont remember who help me with virtualbox and file share, but it takes for ever when i try to see files on shared folders, is it normal? can i speed it up? | 07:16 |
| faria | hi all | 07:16 |
| macvr | izinucs> thnx | 07:16 |
| Flannel | Joshoo1: also, check this folder for contents: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 07:16 |
| Clutz | izinucs: I uninstalled envy completely, and the nvidia driver from the site removed the restricted driver one when it was installing | 07:16 |
| Joshoo1 | Flannel: You think that's what's making Synaptic keep telling to reload my sources? | 07:16 |
| faria | i cant play online movies in ubuntu | 07:16 |
| izinucs | macvr, don't install xchat-gnome.. just xchat | 07:16 |
| complex_number | How do I watch a dvd in ubuntu? | 07:17 |
| macvr | ok | 07:17 |
| bobertdos | !dvd | complex_number | 07:17 |
| ubottu | complex_number: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 07:17 |
| Flannel | Joshoo1: No, I have no idea what synaptic is doing. But it could be a non-stable version, since that certainly sounds like a bug | 07:17 |
| voidmage | anyone? | 07:17 |
| samsss | complex_number, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras mplayer | 07:17 |
| Flannel | voidmage: what is du saying? | 07:17 |
| izinucs | Clutz, so. .. remind me.. no gui at all or bad resolution.. late for me. | 07:17 |
| faria | i cant play online movies in ubuntu | 07:18 |
| bobertdos | faria: could you be a bit more specific, please? | 07:18 |
| voidmage | how do i sort du by filesize? | 07:18 |
| Clutz | izinucs: the gui must have come up this last time, it made the appropriate sounds, i just can't see | 07:18 |
| Joshoo1 | Flannel: K I just commented out, and nothing in that folder. | 07:18 |
| Lamprey | faria: you may need to install w32 codecs to watch on-line movies. | 07:18 |
| Clutz | izinucs: normally my computer locks up when i boot | 07:18 |
| Flannel | voidmage: er, you dont. Or at least, not on its own. | 07:18 |
| izinucs | Clutz, try ctrl+alt+f7 | 07:18 |
| Flannel | Joshoo1: Alright, save and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:18 |
| Clutz | izinucs: what's that do? | 07:18 |
| Joshoo1 | Flannel: K, halfway done with that will report back soon thanks for helping me out | 07:19 |
| Tazlc | que tal alguien de mexico | 07:19 |
| izinucs | Clutz, takes you to the typical tty for the gui.. ctrl+alt+f1-6 are text based tty's | 07:19 |
| Flannel | !es | Tazlc | 07:19 |
| ubottu | Tazlc: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 07:19 |
| Clutz | izinucs: ok | 07:19 |
| Tazlc | tks frieds | 07:19 |
| voidmage | Flannel: then how can I find the offending 20G file? | 07:20 |
| Flannel | voidmage: Its likely not a 20G file. | 07:20 |
| izinucs | Clutz, also is the monitor a crt or lcd? | 07:20 |
| Flannel | voidmage: what does du say your total usage is on that partition? | 07:20 |
| voidmage | 441G | 07:20 |
| voidmage | df is reporting 466G used though | 07:20 |
| Flannel | voidmage: so, baobab and du both report 441? | 07:21 |
| voidmage | right | 07:21 |
| Lamprey | quit | 07:21 |
| voidmage | it's df that reports 466 and programs report "no space left on device" | 07:21 |
| Joshoo1 | Flannel: I think the problem stems from I had to install 7.10 and then upgrade to 8.04 cause a straight install to 8.04 messed up my graphics, and then I forgot to plug in my laptop and it died while finishing up the upgrade, so my sources got messed up and not everything was done. I believe that's the root of this problem | 07:22 |
| voidmage | can barely search for this on google since everything thinks i'm out of space | 07:23 |
| bastid_raZor | voidmage; you could try getting rid of something | 07:23 |
| Flannel | voidmage: Have you cleaned your package cache? (sudo apt-get clean)? | 07:23 |
| complex_number | When I try and play a DVD, Mplayer does nothing | 07:23 |
| voidmage | Flannel: I have a separate home partition | 07:23 |
| complex_number | and it freezes | 07:23 |
| Flannel | voidmage: Also, check /var/ (especially /var/log/) for a runaway log file | 07:23 |
| voidmage | oh | 07:24 |
| Flannel | Joshoo1: This ought to fix that then. | 07:24 |
| voidmage | runaway process | 07:24 |
| voidmage | and we're back | 07:24 |
| Joshoo1 | Flannel: Looks like it, installing ok, I saw replacement synaptic and replacement apt-get in there. Still working but farther than the last time i tried doing this. | 07:25 |
| macvr | chubs>yep was there in plugins... its eithere that or no1 has left /joined the room since lamprey quit mistform... > join/part hiding plugin | 07:25 |

| complex_number | but the picture is garbled | 07:30 |
| complex_number | I can sort of see the movie | 07:31 |
| johnedmiston1956 | Tried that first... | 07:31 |
| bastid_raZor | complex_number; that would be copyright protection preventing you from seeing the movie. | 07:31 |
| complex_number | are you serious? | 07:31 |
| complex_number | I have libdvdcss though | 07:31 |
| complex_number | is that part of my hardware? | 07:31 |
| Joshoo1 | bastid_raZor: Couldn't be a codec thing? Wouldn't protection just stop it from being copied not played? | 07:32 |
| faria | hello can some one help me | 07:32 |
| bastid_raZor | Joshoo1; if you can play it you can copy it. | 07:32 |
| complex_number | but it's only a dvd | 07:32 |
| complex_number | you can play dvds | 07:32 |
| Joshoo1 | bastid_raZor: But then you could logically copy ANY DVD unless you bought one that wasn't playable, which would be pointless | 07:33 |
| complex_number | with libdvdcss | 07:33 |
| bastid_raZor | complex_number; Joshoo1 i'll bet you can play the movie in a regular DVD player not on a computer. | 07:33 |
| === freqk is now known as freqk|away | ||
| Joshoo1 | bastid_raZor: Yeah prob | 07:33 |
| Indoctrine | Is there any way to tell how much ink I have left in my printer? | 07:33 |
| bobertdos | faria: That site uses ActiveX controls. Basically, you're out of luck in Ubuntu. | 07:33 |
| faria | whats that means | 07:33 |
| samsss | help with vbox file sharing too slow...! | 07:34 |
| bastid_raZor | complex_number; can you test the DVD in a standalone DVD player? | 07:34 |
| Indoctrine | faria: ActiveX is something Internet Explorer uses | 07:34 |
| faria | then | 07:34 |
| technoid_ | taria: you could try IE4linux | 07:34 |
| faria | it means can i go back to xp | 07:34 |
| Indoctrine | faria: It adds functionality to some pages and can be a nuisance if improperly used | 07:34 |
| Indoctrine | faria: <bobertdos> faria: That site uses ActiveX controls. Basically, you're out of luck in Ubuntu. | 07:35 |
| faria | then no solution for that | 07:35 |
| Indoctrine | faria: Simply because ActiveX is an Internet Explorer thing and there's no IE or any way of getting IE in Ubuntu | 07:36 |
| nate_ | #bittorent | 07:36 |
| technoid_ | faria: i use IE4linux for a website that has activex | 07:36 |
| technoid_ | Indoctrine: check out IE4Linux | 07:36 |
| faria | but firefox also can play that movies | 07:36 |
| faria | i use in xp | 07:36 |
| Indoctrine | technoid_: Not likely. I live fine without IE. | 07:36 |
| KaRnA | it | 07:37 |
| bobertdos | faria: That's becuase the latest version of Firefox in Windows now comes with an ActiveX helper. | 07:37 |
| faria | hmmm | 07:37 |
| technoid_ | While it might not be for you, telling someone that there is no way to run IE on ubuntu isn't correct | 07:37 |
| faria | technoid_ can u guide me how can i get ie4 | 07:37 |
| Indoctrine | technoid_: I hadn't even heard of it. But it seems oxymoronic to be using IE in Linux | 07:37 |
| complex_number | The DVD works in a normal DVD player | 07:37 |
| technoid_ | faria: just a moment | 07:38 |
| complex_number | but it's a bit garbled on my computer | 07:38 |
| noway | how do i set my wlan0 device to stay alive? | 07:38 |
| faria | technoid_ok | 07:38 |
| technoid_ | try http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page | 07:38 |
| complex_number | oh, now it's working again | 07:38 |
| bobertdos | complex_number: What player are you using? | 07:38 |
| complex_number | strange | 07:38 |
| complex_number | I had to take it out and put it back in again to fix it | 07:38 |
| complex_number | wtf | 07:38 |
| faria | ubuntu is new os then it must have new ver of firefox | 07:39 |
| zenmaster | ok im getting an error trying to install aptana with java can anyone help? i have the log file | 07:39 |
| Indoctrine | Maybe it doesn't like you, complex_number. ;) | 07:39 |
| technoid_ | indoctrine: my banks go through phases of being compat with ff and not being compat | 07:39 |
| Indoctrine | faria: Only the Firefox in Windows has the ActiveX helper | 07:39 |
| complex_number | maybe it's my imaginary imagination | 07:39 |
| complex_number | or am I the real part | 07:39 |
| Indoctrine | complex_number: Maybe it's the imaginary number | 07:39 |
| faria | very bad firefox is the main browser of linux | 07:39 |
| faria | but it not updates | 07:39 |
| bobertdos | faria: Yes, it does, but the Ubuntu build will never support ActiveX. That would go against what we believe in. | 07:40 |
| zenmaster | does anyone have experience here that can help me with aptana java install? | 07:40 |
| envisean | anyone have experience with ipblock / iplist? | 07:40 |
| faria | why ubutu get a diffrent track then others | 07:40 |
| Znow | Hi there! Ive just installed ubuntu with alternative installer on my laptop. When I try to use the update manager, it wont download, but I got the laptop wired to the network... I cant choose another resolution than 800x600, how come? | 07:40 |
| envisean | zenmaster: can't you just download the source and compile? | 07:40 |
| Indoctrine | faria: Because Ubuntu has to make sure everything they include is licensed under GNU | 07:40 |
| faria | ahaan | 07:40 |
| faria | that good sign | 07:41 |
| envisean | Znow: i'd try to research resolution & your mobo | 07:41 |
| Indoctrine | And ActiveX is not licensed under GNU because it's a Windows thing, faria. | 07:41 |
| zenmaster | envisean:ill check again | 07:41 |
| Znow | envisean huh? | 07:41 |
| envisean | Znow: your graphics chipset just probably wsn't recognized and setup properly during installation | 07:41 |
| Znow | ahhh ok thanks mate ;) | 07:41 |
| faria | any way if i can run the movie then its ok | 07:41 |
| Znow | but, whatabout the update manager? | 07:41 |
| envisean | Znow: np, you can play w/ your X11 settings as well | 07:41 |
| Indoctrine | Try the IE4Linux thing that technoid_ suggested, faria. | 07:42 |
| envisean | Znow: apt-get doesn't work? | 07:42 |
| Znow | I can try | 07:42 |
| envisean | Znow: i'd give that a shot first | 07:42 |
| supersized | hello, is Ubuntu the easiest distro of Linux to start learning Linux on ? | 07:42 |
| envisean | Znow: if you used an alternative installer, who knows what didn't come w/ it | 07:42 |
| Indoctrine | supersized: It sure is. | 07:42 |
| envisean | supersized: yes, some would argue so | 07:42 |
| envisean | supersized: it's easier than windows :) | 07:43 |
| faria | yes i do | 07:43 |
| supersized | are there any video tut's out there on Linux that anyone knows of ? | 07:43 |
| nnull | envisean¬ as long as you dont hit any bumps :P | 07:43 |
| Indoctrine | envisean: I always use the alt installer and I've never had a problem, it always includes my drivers, which are usually annoying ones | 07:43 |
| envisean | nnull: haha yes, well if you hit bumps w/ a windows install, good luck :-P | 07:43 |
| faria | <Indoctrine plz guide me i wana setup my pc as shell server for irc | 07:43 |
| Znow | translated from danish: "E: could open the lockfile /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 permission denied) | 07:43 |
| envisean | supersized: google up some ubuntu tutorials | 07:43 |
| nnull | envisean¬ haha true | 07:43 |
| Indoctrine | faria: That's beyond what I can do. | 07:43 |
| faria | hmmm | 07:44 |
| envisean | supersized: there are more than their fair share on youtube, etc | 07:44 |
| faria | then who is here able to guide me | 07:44 |
| envisean | Znow: sudo :) | 07:44 |
| Joshoo1 | supersized: I think there's a site called learnlinux.com or something. There a lot of tutorials out there, but mainly just keep using and it figure it out as you go, and read manuals and guides and hang out in the chat and watch what people talk about to pick stuff up | 07:44 |
| Indoctrine | faria: I'd suggest you learn a little more about Linux before attempting that. | 07:44 |
| envisean | Znow: try running it under root first, heh | 07:44 |
| Joshoo1 | supersized: Also, google fosswire linux cheat sheet | 07:44 |
| CaptainMurphy | Dear anybody | 07:44 |
| envisean | Znow: you probably need to do: sudo apt-get update first | 07:44 |
| Znow | ok thanks | 07:44 |
| faria | <Indoctrine its true but its confusing | 07:44 |
| famicom_ | ello | 07:44 |
| faria | but now will try | 07:44 |
| CaptainMurphy | Does anyone know how to deal with a [errno 5] input output error? during ubuntu install? | 07:44 |
| famicom_ | I'm trying to install ubuntu to my netbook | 07:44 |
| famicom_ | my eeepc 701 to be precise | 07:45 |
| supersized | I've used windows for about 10 years now and its time for somthing different, I like Ubuntu a lot, learn pretty fast | 07:45 |
| Indoctrine | faria: Learning is good. =) Make sure to read widely. The Ubuntu Wiki is a good place to start | 07:45 |
| supersized | been toying around with it for a few days now | 07:45 |
| Debolaz | Hrmm, the best GUI BitTorrent client I've used in Ubuntu is still uTorrent. Not good. :/ | 07:45 |
| famicom_ | right now, im having some trouble with getting the ubuntu installer to run from an usb drive | 07:45 |
| Znow | now its downloading a package, 189 bytes... but it wont go further... I got 12mbit connection, and I can go on the internet aswelll | 07:45 |
| Indoctrine | famicom_: Do you have an option for booting from USB drive in your BIOS? | 07:45 |
| famicom_ | could someone perhaps provide me with an up to date guide on using the alternate installer with a usb drive | 07:45 |
| famicom_ | Indoctrine yeah, that all works etc | 07:45 |
| bobertdos | !usb | famicom_ | 07:46 |
| ubottu | famicom_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 07:46 |
| famicom_ | i know all that stuff | 07:46 |
| famicom_ | but i dont want to use the livecd | 07:46 |
| Indoctrine | What's the problem? | 07:46 |
| famicom_ | but i dont want to use the livecd | 07:46 |
| famicom_ | all i want is a system that boots to cli | 07:46 |
| Znow | envisean - what could be the problem? | 07:46 |
| Znow | now the other 2 packages failed to download | 07:47 |
| Znow | and its trying to get the 3rd release | 07:47 |
| supersized | thx for the cheat sheet Joshool | 07:47 |
| supersized | pretty cool reference | 07:47 |
| famicom | there we go | 07:47 |
| famicom | anyway, you would think that it would be as simple as copying the files from cdrom to usb, but unfortunately that fucks with cdrom-detect | 07:48 |
| Indoctrine | famicom: Did you read this bit of the documentation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Manual%20Approach | 07:48 |
| famicom | Indoctrine yeah i have | 07:49 |

| technoid_ | nnull: i was just wondering where we were at in the "i can't get this to work..." pattern | 07:53 |
| Beyonder | Indoctrine: well, I was trying to fix it myself and I did install some restricted packages | 07:53 |
| envisean | Znow: if that doesn't work, install sources manually | 07:53 |
| Beyonder | Indoctrine: can you tell the names to check? | 07:53 |
| Indoctrine | Beyonder: Can you type into a terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 07:53 |
| bobertdos | Beyonder: Have you installed all the gstreamer codecs? Actually, ubuntu-restricted-extras is a good way to do it. | 07:53 |
| technoid_ | faria: did you follow the instructions? | 07:53 |
| CaptainMurphy | At this point I want to go to another user friendly distro but I don' tknow what, Ive only work with ubuntu really and xbuntu | 07:53 |
| faria | If you want to install Internet Explorer on your Linux desktop, you must have a valid Microsoft Windows license, otherwise installing Internet Explorer is illegal. | 07:53 |

| faria | oh thats i have | 07:55 |
| envisean | Znow: did you get my PM? | 07:55 |
| Indoctrine | faria: Is your Windows XP a legal copy? If so, you have a license. | 07:55 |
| ltracy_ | jim_p, maybe # isn't a comment according to wget | 07:55 |
| Ishn1 | Why would you want IE? | 07:55 |
| Znow | yes 2 sec | 07:55 |
| technoid_ | lshn1: some banks...and quickbooksonline | 07:56 |

| bastid_raZor | jim_p; you can comment lines by putting a # at the beginning | 07:57 |
| technoid_ | faria: you should be able to follow the ubuntu instructions on that site. Remember to change the edgey reference to what ever version you are running, | 07:57 |
| jim_p | ltracy_: i need to use other commented lines too. for the times that i dont have time for all the downloads to complete | 07:57 |
| faria | ok' | 07:57 |

| bastid_raZor | jim_p; oh, i read your question. wget doesn't work like that. you'll need a script to actually determine which to get and not to get. | 07:59 |
| Indoctrine | Beyonder: I'm not sure. Try restarting alsa. | 07:59 |
| Beyonder | Indoctrine: hmm... may i ask how? | 08:00 |
| jim_p | bastid_raZor: script for what? for downloading a list of files??? "wget -i list.txt" works fine for it | 08:00 |
| ltracy_ | jim_p, I think it wants an html file. Try using html comments? | 08:00 |
| Indoctrine | Beyonder: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 08:00 |
| ltracy_ | jim_p, well, make it valid html and then add html comments :) | 08:00 |
| jim_p | ltracy_: how are html comments? <~-- ? | 08:01 |
| bastid_raZor | jim_p; okay, then don't put a file in the .txt file you don't want downloaded. | 08:01 |

| jim_p | ltracy_: what exactly does --forcehtml do? | 08:09 |
| Indoctrine | Beyonder: I had a similar problem but it was freezing my media players, when I finally worked out what it was, I'd already reinstalled once. | 08:09 |

| yannickm1 | hi.... Can someone give me hand to solve a problem with installer CD customization? | 08:12 |
| Indoctrine | karthur26: You may have to wait, I think the last thing they put in is the GUI. ;) | 08:12 |
| Indoctrine | karthur26: Or at least the last thing they put in is a user friendly installer. | 08:13 |
| khakihacky | jim_p, it's more like it doesnt even recognise its plugged in, as opposed to just not mounting... | 08:13 |
| Ishnu | yannickm1: Just ask the question - dont ask to ask | 08:13 |
| yannickm1 | Well, i've been trying to customize the installer CD | 08:14 |
| jim_p | khakihacky: is it in lsusb? | 08:14 |
| ltracy_ | damn. This is frustrating. I can't install updates because it can't replace util-linux because there is some stupid error in the package removal script | 08:14 |
| yannickm1 | however the CD i'm producing is causing the installer to go into PPOE mode, (failing of course) | 08:14 |
| ltracy_ | I can't remove it myself because it's 'essential' | 08:14 |
| khakihacky | I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean | 08:14 |
| yannickm1 | i spent hours trying to track what is causing it | 08:14 |
| yannickm1 | and comparing to the normal server CD | 08:14 |
| Indoctrine | Beyonder: How's it going? | 08:15 |
| Beyonder | Indoctrine: it works now, I guess the restricted packets did the job, just had to reboot, thanks a lot | 08:15 |
| yannickm1 | it seem to have something to do with my ubuntu-keyring which i had to regenerate in order to re-sign the release, so that i include my own key | 08:15 |
| Indoctrine | Beyonder: No probs. :) | 08:15 |

| Dolo | basic,emblems,permissions,openwith,notes,share I dont see current | 09:09 |
| Doc|Afk | Dolo: When you right click it, on the first tab, it'll show you an image of the current icon, click it | 09:10 |
| dontchoke | Doc|Afk is there any real differences? | 09:10 |

| Doc|Afk | Dolo: That's what it's meant to be doing, yes. I'm using Hardy. | 09:13 |
| Dolo | ok i got it open now what should i do | 09:13 |
| xxploit | Dolo, you asked how to change it, so browse the icons and choose another... | 09:13 |
| Dolo | noo | 09:13 |
| Dolo | sry | 09:14 |
| Dolo | let me re-ask | 09:14 |
| Dolo | I have multiple desktops right | 09:14 |
| Dolo | 1,2,3,4 | 09:14 |
| Doc|Afk | Right-o | 09:14 |
| Dolo | i wanted like a folder link on desktop 3 only | 09:14 |
| Dolo | know what i meen? | 09:14 |
| Dolo | then maybe a file on desktop 2 | 09:15 |
| Dolo | when i switch between them all the desktops have the same icons | 09:15 |
| Doc|Afk | I'd have to say there probably wouldn't be | 09:16 |
| Dolo | wanted to set them apart so when i go to desktop 4 i have links for specfic things and when i go back to desktop one it just be blank | 09:16 |
| Doc|Afk | Then again, it's not something I'd do | 09:16 |
| Doc|Afk | As I only use one of the desktops | 09:16 |
| Dolo | Well u understand what I'm going for though? | 09:16 |

| cubex | it auto joins me | 09:23 |
| xxploit | Dolo, you talking about compiz plugins? | 09:25 |
| Dolo | well what id like is if i could have 4 seprate work spaces like on screen 1 i just have no icons maybe an internet link and some modest wallpaper | 09:25 |
| shepherd_ | what can i install 8.04 ubuntu onto my pc....i have a freshly cleaned hard drive that i just nuked. and i still get buffer i/o error on device sr0 & fd0 | 09:25 |
| Dolo | then on desktop 2 some links for work related stuff and maybe a beach kinda wallpaper | 09:26 |
| shepherd_ | i can install 7.1 though | 09:26 |
| shepherd_ | but not 8.04 | 09:26 |

| shepherd_ | i've tried both the regular anad the alternative | 09:27 |
| Dolo | Then maybe on desktop 3 i put my clan wall paper and some links for my games and to stats page | 09:27 |

| Dolo | u get what im trying to do? anyone know how I can set that up | 09:28 |
| xxploit | Dolo, I know what you mean, I know users can do the wallpapers but im not sure about the icons since all the workspaces by default link to your desktop folder, and the device/location icons are a global setting I believe. So not sure. | 09:28 |
| Dolo | intresting | 09:29 |
| Dolo | xxploit: would it be possible to make extra folders like desktop 2 ,3 ,4 then fix the links somehow? | 09:31 |

| mefisto__ | tarelerulz: I don't understand your question. the flashplayer file is the executable, and it will work wherever you extract it to. but if it's not in your path, you will have to specify the location to make it work. eg "/home/myusername/flashplayer-standalone/flashplayer myflashfile.swf" | 10:35 |

| DJones | leslieviljoen: Probably the two most common ones are Xchat or Irssi, Xchat is graphical client like MIRC, irssi is command line | 11:02 |

| Athleone | I don't have a cd, dmh65. | 11:04 |
| dmh65 | :) | 11:04 |
| tarelerulz | The reason I went for adobe standalone was play videos I have gotten off other sites like youtube and so on. In firefox they play fine sometimes. If I have more then one video going flash player seem to mess up . I thought maybe if I got the standalone version I could play the movies at later date. Plus mplayer , vlc and totem don't seem to work well. One lets me fast forward and other don't let me do that. So you can see | 11:05 |
| dmh65 | if your feeling brave, go ahead and do the install | 11:05 |
| Athleone | Fedora is looking more and more attractive o_o | 11:05 |

| skwo | zeth-ubuntu: I got the same problem when for example I use amarok and trying to call in skype | 11:29 |
| dehaamu_ | @find was | 11:29 |

| dehaamu_ | !search firefox | 11:30 |
| ubottu | Found: ff3, firefox, kde firefox, fffc, thunderbird, firefox1.5, flash64bit, firefox3, firefox kde, browsers | 11:30 |
| sifunk | zeth: its something to do with the sound system only allowing one program to access the sound at once | 11:30 |
| dehaamu_ | @search firefox | 11:30 |
| dehaamu_ | !find was | 11:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about find was | 11:30 |
| skwo | sifunk: I read that it may be a kernel problem | 11:30 |
| wces | !find love | 11:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about find love | 11:30 |
| sifunk | i don't remember all the details about it, but i think i got around it by removing oss from the kernel when i got that bug with gentoo | 11:30 |
| wces | !find hot chick | 11:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about find hot chick | 11:31 |
| zeth-ubuntu | sifunk : well .. it only seems to happen with KDE apps in Ubuntu | 11:31 |
| sifunk | skwo: yes.. i think some sort of conflict between alsa and oss... i believe i removed oss support and built in alsa with oss emulation | 11:31 |
| dehaamu_ | !find firefox | 11:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about find firefox | 11:31 |
| mefisto__ | does gnome use arts for it's sound system like kde? | 11:31 |
| dehaamu_ | !filebot firefox | 11:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about filebot firefox | 11:31 |
| sifunk | that's how it was for me.. | 11:31 |
| skwo | sifunk: sounds like chiness for me :p | 11:31 |
| sifunk | as far as i know, gnome is using pulseaudio now | 11:32 |
| leslieviljoen | zeth-ubuntu: Alsa is supposed to have sorted sound multiplexing out | 11:32 |
| leslieviljoen | zeth-ubuntu: try asking your programs to use alsa | 11:32 |
| murlidhar | k guys how do i make gdm start manually when booting the system? | 11:32 |
| zeth-ubuntu | leslieviljoen : ask kopete to use alsa? | 11:32 |
| sifunk | the problem may lie within arts then, which should be doing all sound mixing then sending one signal to alsa | 11:33 |
| leslieviljoen | zeth-ubuntu: if you can | 11:33 |
| sifunk | murlidar: try 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' | 11:33 |
| murlidhar | !pulseaudio | 11:33 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 11:33 |
| dehaamu_ | @find firefox | 11:33 |
| wces | zeth-ubuntu: Try disabling software sound mixing in preferences->sounds | 11:33 |
| mefisto__ | since kopete is a kde app, I assume it uses arts (which uses alsa by default), and if gnome/ubuntu is using pulseaudio I suppose kopete has to suspend pulseaudio | 11:33 |
| murlidhar | sifunk: how to enter that while booting ? | 11:33 |
| leslieviljoen | dehaamu_: what? | 11:33 |
| murlidhar | the gdm autostarts. :( | 11:34 |
| wces | !pulseaudio | 11:34 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 11:34 |
| murlidhar | i want a manual start | 11:34 |
| zeth-ubuntu | wces: what does that do? | 11:35 |
| sifunk | murlidhar: you want it to boot onto text login.. then you want to manually start x or gdm? | 11:35 |
| murlidhar | sifunk: yes | 11:35 |
| makahuu | @find kick | 11:35 |
| wces | zeth-ubuntu: In Ubuntu (don't know about K) it stops system sounds but allows multiple applications to go through | 11:36 |

| murlidhar | meepo: oh haven't done but it is possible since it requires is a mounted disk | 11:37 |
| DJones | meepo: Sorry, I think I've misread what you meant | 11:38 |

| skwo | Chousuke: when you dont use windows/mac os | 11:48 |
| skwo | :p | 11:48 |
| leslieviljoen | skwo: except for the occasional software development in Visual Studio in Virtualbox | 11:48 |
| skwo | I tired to boot to windows yesterday | 11:48 |
| Chousuke | Oh. Then I don't qualify :P | 11:48 |
| Chousuke | OS X is my main OS | 11:48 |
| skwo | damn it was so baaad | 11:48 |
| skwo | i rebooted back to Ubuntu :) | 11:48 |
| fenerli7 | VMs excluded, I've completely switched at home | 11:48 |

| whereisdarran | what is it? | 11:52 |
| jrib | kenalex_: you'll miss some things. There's no sun java plugin (you can use the free version with icedtea). There's also no w32codecs, so I've had at least a couple of movies where I've had to run mplayer in a chroot to hear sound | 11:52 |
| skwo | Well guys lets move to offtopic :x | 11:53 |

| MrKennie | MetalWrath_: you can yes | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !intrepid | leslieviljoen | 11:55 |

| jrib | leslieviljoen: ubuntu hasn't released intrepid, anyway this is offtopic here | 11:56 |
| MrKennie | I think you confused development code with stable code | 11:56 |
| frith | leslieviljoen, also microsoft would be able to pass the buck to the people who wrote the device driver | 11:56 |
| kenalex_ | creative should at least make a good driver for their xfi cards and get heir head of their a$$es | 11:57 |
| leslieviljoen | No you don't get it, this code can break hardware | 11:57 |
| MrKennie | and? it's development code, use at your own risk. | 11:58 |
| frith | same as if you were to use windows beta x y z | 11:58 |
| leslieviljoen | The last time "risk" meant broken hardware was in the commodore days when there was a special POKE that could kill your VIC chip | 11:58 |
| jrib | leslieviljoen: did you even read the bug? | 11:58 |
| leslieviljoen | Ever since, "risk" has meant "broken software" | 11:59 |

| mefisto__ | Nathariel: is this one of those usb sticks that are password protected? ie, did you install some windows "drivers" for it and password protect? | 12:02 |
| leslieviljoen | jrib: ok, have to go anyway. But there really *is* no place this can be discussed you'll find. Its offtopic everywhere, and it's embarrasing. | 12:03 |
| MetalWrath_ | the only annoyance about ubuntu thus far I have found is there's no su mode. | 12:03 |
| Nathariel | mefisto__ nope, just used windows to check what filesystem it has after the first try on ubuntu. | 12:03 |
| MetalWrath_ | You have to use sudo for everything | 12:03 |
| MetalWrath_ | which blows. | 12:03 |
| MetalWrath_ | I'm not THAT much of a noob. | 12:04 |

| jrib | MetalWrath_: there is 'su'. It switches users. You can do 'sudo -i', but you really shouldn't need to do this so often that you find sudo annoying... | 12:04 |
| MetalWrath_ | MrKennie: I love you. | 12:04 |

| wces | faria: chmod +x <filename> and then ./filename | 12:19 |
| mefisto__ | faria: what about this: ./realplayer11gold.bin | 12:19 |
| zamba | erUSUL: i think i've found the problem.. the problem looks to be related to the fact that the ubuntu kernel itself picks up the receiver and then "owns" it.. so just by plugging in the receiver and using the remote i'm able to du basic stuff like turning the volume up and down and muting it | 12:19 |
| faria | ok | 12:19 |
| erUSUL | zamba: ok | 12:19 |
| zamba | erUSUL: so what i need to do is tell the kernel to keep its fingers away from this.. | 12:19 |

| jrib | Dolo: yeah | 13:03 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: 2 clicks and there's a new subdomain for mail, web, and ftp | 13:04 |
| jrib | Dolo: just add your background images to the desktop cube preferences | 13:04 |
| dam85 | no i want to add new subdomain | 13:04 |
| dam85 | example | 13:04 |
| dam85 | test1.website.com test2.website.com ecc ecc | 13:04 |
| dam85 | do you mean that? | 13:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: yes, thats what I just said. | 13:04 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: you can choose what services each sub-domain has | 13:05 |

| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple: i think to reinstall webmin | 13:07 |
| dam85 | :) | 13:07 |
| ikonia | dam85: be aware webmin is not supported and has security issues | 13:07 |
| choonming | which package should i install if i wish to setup a home nas? | 13:08 |
| Dolo | jrib: doesnt seem to be having any effect | 13:08 |
| dam85 | ikonia: is not supported?? | 13:08 |
| ikonia | dam85: yes, ubuntu community does not support it | 13:08 |
| GeekWannabe | This ubuntu is quite nice | 13:08 |
| jrib | Dolo: wfm | 13:08 |
| supershort | if i start and reinstall ubuntu, and it comes up the black screen , does it ever load eventually? | 13:08 |
| dam85 | ok | 13:08 |
| dam85 | i have to dowload .deb package | 13:09 |
| dam85 | and install it | 13:09 |
| jrib | Dolo: make sure you are using "custom effects" in system -> preferences -> appearance | 13:09 |
| KenBW | is there a way to stop gedit highlighting everything red when you don't close an HTML tag properly? | 13:10 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: http://dam85.tjworld.net/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/52448/ | 13:10 |
| Dolo | jrib: theme custom | 13:10 |
| jrib | Dolo: under "visual effects" | 13:11 |
| LjL | KenBW: try closing it properly perhaps ;P | 13:11 |
| Dolo | jrib: ya custom | 13:11 |
| arunvkumar | which one is the best keylogger for ubuntu? | 13:11 |
| KenBW | LjL: lol. i do - its just jarring when youre in the middle of typing it | 13:11 |
| LjL | !info lkl | arunvkumar, this is the only one i'm aware of | 13:11 |
| ubottu | arunvkumar, this is the only one i'm aware of: lkl (source: lkl): userspace keylogger for x86 architecture. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.1-1 (hardy), package size 9 kB, installed size 124 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386) | 13:11 |
| choonming | i want to setup a home nas, which package should i install? im new to this | 13:11 |
| chrizzo | anyone knows what the reason for a flickering screen might be? examples where that happens: SuperTux / Totem Movie Player when playing a DVD | 13:11 |
| Dolo | jrib: holywood got nothing | 13:12 |
| arunvkumar | only lkl is thr? | 13:12 |
| jrib | Dolo: try disabling and re-enabling the cube I guess. Do other changes have any effect? | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: just share a folder with either samba or nfs (samba if you use windows) | 13:12 |
| Slart_ | choonming: I'm not sure if there is one easy package.. what kind of file sharing protocol do you want to use? windows file sharing? nfs? ftp? | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: then mount it as /home | 13:13 |
| LjL | arunvkumar: it's the only thing found by "apt-cache search keylog" | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: the files will then be stored on the remote system | 13:13 |
| arunvkumar | ok | 13:13 |
| choonming | im planning to setup a home nas then use vpn to access from overseas | 13:13 |
| Slart_ | arunvkumar: keylogger? I've never seen one in the repos.. what do you want to do with it? | 13:13 |
| arunvkumar | thnks | 13:13 |
| Dolo | i can change the wallpaper , I was asking how to have differnt wallpapers on the differnt sides of the cube | 13:13 |
| choonming | im thinking of using either ftp or nfs | 13:13 |
| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple : i see | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: both windows and linux can mount ftp | 13:14 |
| Slart_ | choonming: then you'll need an ftp server and nfs server respectively | 13:14 |
| KenBW | is there a way to ssh across the internet if i cant enable Port Forwarding? | 13:14 |
| arunvkumar | i want log all keystokes on my comptr | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Dolo: you can but you cant have nautilus drawing the desktops so you wont have any desktop icons | 13:14 |
| choonming | i've got an ftp server but the concern the is the upload speed | 13:14 |
| LjL | KenBW: to ssh *out* or use an ssh *server*? | 13:14 |
| choonming | my max upload is 512kb | 13:14 |
| KenBW | LjL: sorry? | 13:14 |
| Dolo | thats kinda lame | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: you'll need to upgrade your connection if its going over WAN | 13:15 |
| Dolo | thank you for all your help | 13:15 |
| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple: but can you "connect" subdomin.domain.com --> to a directory example /var/web1/sub1 | 13:15 |
| dam85 | ? | 13:15 |
| Dolo | have a good day | 13:15 |
| LjL | KenBW: i mean, if you want to ssh *to* a remove server, then that should work with no need to port forward anything, usually... if you want to use your computer as an ssh server, then that's another story | 13:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: Sure | 13:15 |
| KenBW | LjL: yea, thats what im trying to do - make my PC a server | 13:15 |
| bartek | Hi there, I am getting the error "RADEON: No matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:4:0:0) found" but I do have a Device Section with this BusID in my xorg.conf .. My only idea is that my "primary" screen is on my secondary slot (4:0:1) but due to how my card works I want the primary slot being used by my TV for optimal output (which is my secondary screen basically) ... Any idea why my device section isn't being found? This is for du | 13:16 |
| Slart_ | choonming: well.. ftp, nas and the rest will work.. but it might be slow depending on what you want to do with it | 13:16 |
| arunvkumar | how remote login to anthr ubuntu system is posible thrgh wifi | 13:16 |
| choonming | thats my main concern cause 512kb is the max i can get for now. thinking of getting it hosted in datacenter but costly | 13:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: The sub-domains gets its own root web dir in /home/parent.domain/domains/subdomain/ | 13:16 |
| ikonia | arunvkumar the netwrok connection doesn't matter | 13:16 |
| LjL | KenBW: well, in that case, if your computer can't use any inbound ports, and you can't port forward, that's not easily doable. you can set up a reverse ssh tunnel, then your computer will somehow have to know which IP address the *client* is connecting *from* | 13:16 |
| choonming | i just want to be able to access my drive at home | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: id look at the datacentre cost vs getting an sdsl line | 13:16 |
| jrib | Dolo: ah right, I don't have nautilus drawing my desktop. That's probably wmhy | 13:16 |
| arunvkumar | ok | 13:16 |
| jrib | good catch ActionParsnip | 13:17 |
| KenBW | LjL: is that way doable? | 13:17 |
| arunvkumar | can u explain tht | 13:17 |
| LjL | KenBW: basically, it's the server connecting to the client rather than vice versa, and i'm afraid it's a bit involved anyway. i have one such thing on my server, but i set it up long ago and i'm not quite sure i remember the steps | 13:17 |
| choonming | i'll take that into consideration | 13:17 |
| arunvkumar | i dont no to do in any netwrk conctn | 13:17 |
| choonming | thanks | 13:17 |
| Dolo | I use 4 sides of my cube and wanted to set them up as seprate work spaces with there own wallpaper and icons | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: sdsl is more expensive but has faster uploads (infact upload and download are the same or Symettric) | 13:17 |
| LjL | KenBW: well, it's doable if it's always the same client connecting, and from always the same IP... | 13:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | LjL: Are you thinking of reverse-SSH connections? | 13:17 |
| idimmu | um a dude i work with created a user as a systems user, is there anyway to turn it in to a regular user with out actually deleting it and recreating it>? | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Dolo: id ask in #compiz | 13:18 |
| Dolo | but whenver i flip desktops its the same wallpaper and files, icons etc | 13:18 |
| choonming | my country is not offering sdsl | 13:18 |
| KenBW | LjL: so i wouldn't be able to spontaneously decide to ssh to it from anywhere - id have to set up the connection first? | 13:18 |
| LjL | IntuitiveNipple: i am, yes (although my own setup involves a VPN too, though i don't quite remember why) | 13:18 |
| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple: but with webmin o VIRTUALmin ? | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | idimmu: remove it from the group admin and sudoer | 13:18 |
| choonming | i can get max 512kb for adsl lines | 13:18 |
| Slart_ | Dolo: let me know if you find anything.. I've only seen hacks where you have to hardcode that stuff.. nothing easy or simple | 13:18 |
| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple: i can to do all the operations via browser? | 13:18 |
| idimmu | ActionParsnip: no he created it with adduser --system <username> | 13:18 |
| bartek | Hi there, I am getting the error "RADEON: No matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:4:0:0) found" but I do have a Device Section with this BusID in my xorg.conf .. | 13:18 |
| choonming | therefore my only option is datacenter or find another workaround | 13:18 |
| idimmu | so we cant log in to the box with it | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: id look into sdsl providers, a 4mb up / 4mb down should be decent | 13:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: both; virtualmin installs as a module of webmin | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | idimmu: then you need usermod | 13:19 |
| dam85 | ok so via browser is better | 13:19 |
| dam85 | thanks now install it | 13:19 |
| LjL | KenBW: well, yes and no. my own setup involves crontab entries and a VPN... that way, i'm able to SSH whenever i want, as long as the server was previously set up to try to connect to my IP address (and i can do that remotely by uploading my address to a website, then have to wait some minutes for the crontab entry to pick it up) | 13:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: Yes, everything is managed via HTTPS , the default webmin port being 10000 | 13:19 |
| nikki_ | Which channel do ubuntu guys usually hang around in? For fun? (no support and serious stuff) | 13:19 |
| dam85 | good | 13:19 |
| LjL | nikki_: #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:20 |
| KenBW | LjL: sounds like more effort than its worth :P | 13:20 |
| dam85 | so i have to install before webmin.deb | 13:20 |
| dam85 | and then virtualmin | 13:20 |
| dam85 | right? | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | nikki_: this is all i chat on | 13:20 |
| choonming | ActionParsnip: there isnt sdsl at my place if im not mistaken | 13:20 |
| Slart_ | !webmin | 13:20 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 13:20 |
| nikki_ | LjL, thanks! :) | 13:20 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: yes, and you might want to install the virtualmin theme and switch to it too. Read the virtualmin installation guide for more info | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: its a different service alltogether, id look into it, your current provider may be able to get you sdsl | 13:20 |
| choonming | hopefully | 13:20 |
| LjL | KenBW: it can be... for me, accessing my server when out of home was pretty important. another possible way could be to use an IPv6 tunnel, i think. then the client would have to be connected to such a tunnel itself too, of course | 13:20 |
| choonming | thanks for your help ActionParsnip | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: it may be better to have it hosted | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | choonming: also they will perform backups too | 13:21 |
| LjL | KenBW: (or, for that matter, an IPv4 tunnel, but while i'm aware there are open IPv6 tunnels available, i don't know of IPv4 ones) | 13:21 |
| KenBW | LjL: :| | 13:21 |
| KenBW | LjL: pass | 13:21 |
| dam85 | ok | 13:21 |
| LjL | KenBW: you're positively sure you have no way to port forward anything? | 13:22 |
| KenBW | LjL: the router's loced down and we've lost the password | 13:22 |
| KenBW | locked* | 13:22 |
| LjL | KenBW: might it support uPnP? | 13:23 |
| LjL | ... and have it enabled | 13:23 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: To dispell some of the FUD about webmin on Ubuntu, you might find this interesting: http://www.aigarius.com/blog/2007/12/07/webmin-alternatives/#comment-75218 | 13:23 |
| KenBW | LjL: it might, if i knew what that meant | 13:23 |
| LjL | KenBW: well, uPnP is a protocol that programs can use to automatically request port forwarding from a router. i think most modern routers support it, but having it enabled is another matter | 13:24 |
| KenBW | so itd be a router setting, not PC | 13:25 |
| KenBW | ? | 13:25 |
| zeth-ubuntu | please help .... Pidgin is broken,,, | 13:25 |
| LjL | KenBW: yes, but if that setting is already enabled, then you can use an uPnP client on your PC (not that i'm aware of any that aren't a peer-to-peer program on Linux, but i guess one can be found) to open the wanted port | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: simple quick fix is close all pidgins then mv ~/.purple ~/.purple_old; pidgin & | 13:26 |
| ce | http://paste.ubuntu.com | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: let me know if thats any good | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: its basically setting you back to default settings but we are backing up so we lose nothing | 13:27 |
| KenBW | LjL: im not at home atm, so probably not worth looking into this minute. But ill definitely take a look when im back, thanks | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: if its still no good we know its not screwed settings | 13:27 |

| syslq | Guys what is the most ubuntu way of installing audio video codecs? Gstreamer? | 13:29 |
| LjL | KenBW: i think the MiniUPnP that's referenced in that article should work as a client to just request your router to forward ports... it's not packaged in Ubuntu though, so you'll have to compile it | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: did the rename help any? | 13:29 |

| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 13:30 |
| razel | how do i do that? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: sudo apt-get --purge remove pidgin; sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo apt-get -y install pidgin | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | razel: use sudo to empty the folder if it is populated | 13:31 |
| KenBW | LjL: thanks :D | 13:31 |
| syslq | Damn this is cool :) | 13:31 |

| razel | wow cool... thanks a lot.. | 13:33 |
| razel | :) | 13:33 |
| KenBW | ActionParsnip: prepare for flaming from everyone saying "you shouldnt recommend rm -rf" | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | razel: the first part goes where ubottu said trash was, then removed any files | 13:33 |
| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip: same crash and same output | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | KenBW: i made sure he was in the correct folder first, but its not very advisable to use, it does have its place though | 13:34 |
| razel | ok, why cant i empty trash manually? do i have to use that command everytime? | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: hmm | 13:34 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: If you're going to suggest that you should use && instead of ;, since if for some reason the 'cd' fails it will still run the second command, which will be a Bad Thing™ if its not in a directory you want. | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: can we have a pastebin of the output including the line you use to run pidgin | 13:34 |
| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip: did you see the output? ... does it tell you anything? | 13:34 |

| KenBW | ActionParsnip: i know, i just know people have a tendency to get anal about it | 13:35 |
| Pici | razel: recursive, force. | 13:36 |
| jrib | ActionParsnip: and people will often ignore what you say and just type the two commands separately, often times not caring about output | 13:36 |

| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip: I mean it was working perfectly and then just crashed | 13:38 |
| Pici | razel: It takes a long time to learn the command, use the man pages if you arent sure of what a command does. i.e.: man rm | 13:38 |

| xukun | is there a way to install ubuntu on xfs file system? | 13:39 |
| uriol | i am a new user of linux ubuntu | 13:39 |
| LjL | caumi22: (or, using System Settings, Network Settings -> Proxy) | 13:39 |
| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip: 1:2.4-1ubuntu2.1 | 13:39 |
| caumi22 | LjL: yeah, but I've tried that and it doesnt do its job, as programs like firefox ignore those settings | 13:40 |
| DaveKong | can anyone tell me where to get info on dual or tri booting with two hard disks? i.e. windowsXP, ubuntu, ubuntu64 | 13:40 |

| uriol | because the trash icon is very little | 13:40 |
| richnl | hey everyone i am back | 13:40 |
| LjL | caumi22: i suspect that firefox ignores anything but its own proxy settings | 13:40 |
| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple: ok, downloaded webmin_1.430_all.deb | 13:40 |

| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: Is dbus running according to `/etc/init.d/dbus status' | 13:40 |

| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: this may help, it seems common: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?ctype=xml&id=223925 | 13:41 |

| dmh65 | you can select to show the bin on the desktop in there | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: make sure you are fully up to date | 13:41 |
| LjL | !virus | richnl | 13:41 |
| ubottu | richnl: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:41 |

| LjL | caumi22, i believe that, with the KDE proxy settings, you can also set the "environment variables" (i.e. the http_proxy thing that i mentioned) from the interface. that might (might) be a good option | 13:42 |
| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip: I am always up to date ... :) | 13:42 |
| DaveKong | richnl: no | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: restart it just in case | 13:42 |

| richnl | and how can i setup my desktop ? you know make it look nice with a clock or something | 13:45 |
| Jampiter | How do I write a .img file to a floppy? I believe it's a RaWrite image. | 13:45 |
| LjL | caumi22: well, i don't think there's a way that spares you from starting all the programs you need and trying them. there is a command to view connections, that's "netstat" (try netstat -np), but i'm not sure that'd help with this | 13:45 |
| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip : still crashes ... same error | 13:45 |
| LjL | Jampiter: i believe you can use "dd" for that | 13:45 |
| usser | Jampiter, try dd if=filename.img /dev/fd0 | 13:45 |
| usser | Jampiter, err dd if=filename.img of=/dev/fd0 | 13:46 |

| === GuLRS is now known as GuLRS08 | ||
| caumi22 | LjL: awesome. I guess if it lists all connections, then I'll see if any isnt using the tunnel port. If thats the case, problem solved. Thanks a mil | 13:47 |
| GuLRS08 | sometimes my pendrive doesn't mount! what can I do to mount it properly? | 13:48 |
| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip : is it becasue I am using Wicd instead of Network Manager for gnome? | 13:48 |
| caumi22 | LjL: oh, one more thing, might you know the way to leave the tunnel on (by loggin in with the terminal or something) and closing the terminal and the connection stays? | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: possibly | 13:48 |
| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip : would be strange becasue it was working before with Wicd | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | zeth-ubuntu: what did you change before the error? | 13:49 |
| dmh65 | uriol: do alt f2 | 13:49 |
| zeth-ubuntu | ActionParsnip : I don't think I changed anything ... thats the wierd thing about it | 13:49 |
| dmh65 | uriol: then type gconf-editor | 13:50 |
| LjL | caumi22, well, depending on the tunnel software you're using, it might have a "daemonize" option, look at the manual. you might also want to write a proper init.d script to start it at bootup, look at /etc/init.d/skeleton for information on writing one. finally, you can use the quick and dirty solution of typing "screen" and then starting the tunnel | 13:50 |
| macvr | hi guys... i'm trying to setup the Computer Temperature Monitor 0.9.6.1.... i'm not able set the alarm... how do i set a sound .wav as alarm? | 13:50 |

| amenado | GuLRS08-> perhaps your rules in udev for automounting is not matching the usb parameters, | 13:55 |
| ||arifaX | GuLRS08: I only know, that there are problems with not correctly unmounted ones (coming from eg. windows) Maybe the mountpoint at yours is used by a different device. what does it do after remove/replug? | 13:56 |

| usser | xbxb, its a little tricky, suppose you dont have rw permissions on /foo but u have explicitly allowed it on /foo/bar | 13:57 |
| usser | xbxb, you wont be able to go into /foo but if u know that there exists a folder there called bar you can access it directly | 13:58 |
| usser | xbxb, ie cd /foo ; cd bar wont work but cd /foo/bar will work just fine | 13:58 |

| Andy80 | on this machine (ubuntu-eee 8.04.1 on asus 901) I cannot su with my user... I've enabled root password, and I can login with root if I go to CTRL+ALT+F1, but I'm not able to su or su - from my user... how can I fix it? | 14:31 |
| Pici | kebomix: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 14:31 |
| case^ | Glady: you need to associate mplayer with flv files | 14:31 |
| lamur | hey guys is it good to install samba? | 14:31 |
| kebomix | ubuntu 8,04 | 14:31 |
| erUSUL | Glady: bye bye then | 14:31 |
| slade605 | jim_p: where will I type that at? | 14:31 |
| Problembaer | yes ist id | 14:31 |
| Slart | bye Glady | 14:31 |
| Glady | I dunno how to do that | 14:31 |
| Problembaer | :-) | 14:31 |
| Problembaer | is | 14:31 |
| case^ | Glady: to be honest stop being so lazy and google | 14:31 |
| kebomix | here is error while updating http://paste.ubuntu.com/52469/ | 14:31 |
| Slart | lamur: well.. if you want to share files with windows computers I'd say it's good | 14:31 |
| mkhlnsh | anyone can tell me what files are on ~/.config? | 14:31 |
| Pici | kebomix: You have old entries in /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:31 |
| Glady | I love to be lazy | 14:31 |
| case^ | Glady: or go give MS some money | 14:31 |
| case^ | Glady: no help from me then;-) | 14:32 |
| Glady | and I dont think it is a problem of association | 14:32 |
| lamur | oke slart thanx that is what i thought | 14:32 |
| bXi | Slart: my /etc/bash.bashrc has no settings for it it seems | 14:32 |
| Glady | I think it is a blockhaus | 14:32 |
| case^ | it is - | 14:32 |
| KenBW | i've creted a ~/Templates folder, but they're not showing in the Create Document menu. Any ideas? | 14:32 |
| kebomix | root@Ubuntu-pc:/home/ahmed# /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:32 |

| jim_p | zetheroo-ubuntu: there is some command that opens up the kde control panel. i dont know the exact name. the kde control panel is installd with kdelibs which are installed with kopete, k3b and so on. please ask at #kubuntu | 14:32 |
| case^ | Glady: this is the error | 14:33 |
| case^ | Glady: if (browserDetect.OS == "Linux" && !this.oInst.oConfig.isMPlayerInstalled()) { | 14:33 |
| Slart | bXi: hmm.. let me check.. I've only changed it in ~/.bashrc , never checked in /etc | 14:33 |
| case^ | Glady: have fun fixing it | 14:33 |
| Pici | kebomix: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the lines that are failing, they are not for the version of Ubuntu you are running. | 14:33 |
| sriramoman | is there any way to cat a certain number of characters in a text file? or any program to do the same? | 14:33 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | jim_p : thanks I got it from them ... | 14:33 |
| Glady | this is not an error code | 14:33 |
| bXi | just added alias ls='ls --color=auto' to bashrc | 14:34 |
| Slart | sriramoman: there are a bunch of small programs that do all kinds of nasty little things to text files, look at col, head, tail for a start | 14:34 |
| Glady | it is tricky | 14:34 |
| bXi | i find it weird that my ubuntu doesnt have it by default | 14:34 |
| case^ | Glady: open your error console in opera | 14:34 |
| mkhlnsh | KenBW, start Nautilus, select Navigation and go to Templates. is it still ~/Templates? | 14:34 |
| speps | hey guys little question. I don't remember the flag i have to use with cat or less to append the content of a file to the stdout. I mean if i have a log file i wanna do something like "cat -flag file" in the way that if something is appended to "file" is appended to the standard output.Thanks | 14:34 |
| Slart | sriramoman: I think there's one called cut too.. might do what you want | 14:34 |
| KenBW | mkhlnsh: i did that | 14:34 |
| KenBW | mkhlnsh: Go > Templates takes me to my ~/home | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | speps: that's what "taif" or "tail -f" is for | 14:35 |
| sriramoman | Slart, thank you. i'll check and be back with you if it does the purpose. | 14:35 |
| mkhlnsh | ok. tell me what files do you have on ~/.config | 14:35 |
| KenBW | mkhlnsh: me? | 14:35 |
| mkhlnsh | KenBW, yes | 14:35 |
| Glady | where is it | 14:35 |
| mkhlnsh | KenBW, there should be at least 2 files... | 14:36 |
| KenBW | mkhlnsh: autostart gtk-2.0 totem Trolltech.conf user-dirs.locale compiz Last.fm tracker user-dirs.dirs xfce4 | 14:36 |
| speps | erUSUL: Thanks1 | 14:36 |
| KenBW | mkhlnsh: oh yea, found it | 14:37 |
| camel_ | guys, anyone here? | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | camel_: no | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | !anyone | camel_ | 14:38 |
| ubottu | camel_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:38 |
| camel_ | hey erUSUL :) | 14:38 |
| KenBW | mkhlnsh: ive set it to "XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/System/Templates"". do i have to restart anything for changes to take effect? | 14:38 |
| erUSUL | XD | 14:38 |
| mkhlnsh | KenBW, please, paste the content of user-dirs.dirs and user-dirs.locale on a pastebin so i can fix my folders too. :D | 14:38 |
| camel_ | i have a problem here with ubuntu 8.04 | 14:39 |
| zewm_ | What is the problem? | 14:39 |
| Pici | !ask | camel_ | 14:39 |
| ubottu | camel_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 14:39 |
| camel_ | a amd-64 pc with nvidia geforce 6606 | 14:39 |
| camel_ | *6600 | 14:39 |
| mkhlnsh | KenBW, it should work without restarting anything. | 14:39 |
| camel_ | ubottu, yea.. i know man | 14:39 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:39 |
| KenBW | mkhlnsh: just to make sure, which file am i supposed to edit | 14:39 |
| camel_ | but i can see anything.. i need the drivers asap | 14:39 |
| mkhlnsh | KenBW, users-dirs.dirs is what you have to edit. | 14:40 |
| GleepGlop | I want to uninstall evolution but synaptic wants to uninstall gnome-panel too. how do I circumvent this? | 14:40 |
| camel_ | i have 800x600 resolution | 14:40 |

| Jafet | Where would I find the known hosts file for ssh? | 14:41 |
| josaco | este si k mola | 14:41 |
| Slart | GleepGlop: does the gnome-panel depend on evolution? | 14:41 |
| camel_ | how can i reset the graphics confiruration? | 14:41 |
| GleepGlop | Slart: yes, i have no idea why | 14:41 |
| camel_ | is there a command or something? | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | Jafet: ~/.ssh/* ? | 14:41 |
| spikeh | I get error "perl: warning: Setting locale failed.", dpkg-reconfigure locales does not work, /etc/locale.gen does not exist; is this the problem? | 14:41 |
| Jafet | erUSUL, ah. | 14:42 |
| mkhlnsh | KenBW, thanks. | 14:42 |
| Slart | GleepGlop: ah.. I think gnome-panel depends on some service evolution supplies.. not evolution itself | 14:42 |
| LjL | GleepGlop: uhm, that's unexpected behavior for me. gnome-panel only has evolution (evolution-data-server) as a recommend | 14:43 |
| Slart | GleepGlop: might be something mail-related.. do you really have to uninstall evolution? | 14:43 |
| GleepGlop | Slart: oh, i want vanilla gnome not ubuntu-gnome | 14:43 |
| erUSUL | Slart: evolution-data-server iirc | 14:43 |
| erUSUL | Slart: it need it to put your calendar data (dates and appointments) on the clock/calendar applet. afacs | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | afaics* | 14:44 |
| spikeh | I get error "perl: warning: Setting locale failed.", dpkg-reconfigure locales does not work, /etc/locale.gen does not exist; is this the problem? | 14:44 |
| LjL | erUSUL: but it's just a recommend, not a depend... | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | GleepGlop: afaik vanilla-gnome does includes evolution | 14:45 |
| sorsis | if i set my gnome timefield in top bar to show also the weather, what information source it uses? | 14:45 |
| GleepGlop | erUSUL: I couldn't find a vanilla package in the repos | 14:45 |
| sorsis | or what library is used to gather that infomartion? | 14:45 |
| LjL | !locales | spikeh | 14:45 |
| Slart | GleepGlop: hmm.. removing evolution doesn't uninstall gnome-panel for me.. are you on hardy? | 14:45 |
| ubottu | spikeh: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | LjL: ok; where just my 2 cents ... ;) | 14:45 |
| Slart | erUSUL: ah.. thanks | 14:46 |
| cbr_ | KDE IS the BEST f*** the Rest! | 14:46 |
| GleepGlop | Slart: yep, hardy, but its the eeebuntu distro | 14:46 |
| LjL | erUSUL: well, it's the only package that i see might be relevant, still. i knew that recommends are now installed by default, but i didn't think they also forced removal of the depending package when removed | 14:46 |
| LjL | cbr_: that's not constructive | 14:46 |
| amanulla | hii | 14:47 |
| erUSUL | LjL: the original problem is: removing evolution removes gnome-panel too | 14:47 |
| jim_p | !grub | 14:47 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 14:47 |
| camel_ | guys, how i can reset metacity? | 14:47 |
| GleepGlop | I might go ahead and uninstall and dpkg force install the gnome-panel deb | 14:47 |
| amanulla | i have a doubt can i install xp after installing linux | 14:47 |
| LjL | erUSUL: i know. and i'm saying, the only link i can see between the two *is* evolution-data-server... but it's a Recommends, so i still don't understand why that would happen | 14:47 |
| syslq | Why is the same xvid video lower quality on linux than on windows? Gstreamer codes are so bad or what? | 14:48 |
| camel_ | guys, how i can reset metacity? | 14:48 |
| LjL | amanulla: yes, but XP will probably overwrite your bootloader, and stop you from booting Linux, so you'll have to restore GRUB | 14:48 |
| LjL | !grub | amanulla | 14:48 |
| ubottu | amanulla: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 14:48 |
| thiebaude | ljl:yes it will | 14:48 |
| LjL | amanulla: of course, you also need to have (or make space for and create) a partition to put Windows on | 14:48 |
| thiebaude | ljl:thats why its better to put install xp then install ubuntu, making partitions | 14:49 |
| erUSUL | LjL: how about libedataserver ¿? | 14:49 |
| LjL | thiebaude: well, the "making partitions" part can be done in the ubuntu installer too | 14:50 |
| thiebaude | ljl:exactly | 14:50 |
| thiebaude | ljl:that's the easiest way to do a dual boot | 14:50 |
| genius | Why does my ubuntu see only 3 gb of memory? | 14:51 |
| _maney | So frequently when I open a MS Word document with OOo (Hardy system), I get these crazy error dialogs about "error loading BASIC of document file:///usr/local/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.1/share/basic/WebWizard/script.xbl: General Error" What the heck does it think it's doing? | 14:52 |
| LjL | erUSUL: ... doesn't seem to depend on evolution or evolution-data-server | 14:52 |
| sorsis | genius: it might be because of problems with hardware and the thing that you are using 32bit version | 14:52 |
| edaoman | i am using windows operating system and ubuntu operating system,how to automatically mount one of the windows volume when boot the ubuntu operating system? | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | LjL: yep... sometimes the dependencies are really hard to follow | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | genius: is 32 bit ubuntu ? | 14:53 |
| genius | erUSUL: yes | 14:53 |
| Slart | edaoman: put it in the fstab | 14:53 |
| Slart | !fstab | edaoman | 14:53 |
| ubottu | edaoman: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:53 |
| sorsis | edaoman: i think ntfs partitions are mounted automatically to /media/ | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | genius: that's a limitatin of the arquitecture. the same happens on windows.... you need 64 bit | 14:53 |
| AzizLight | hi everybody | 14:53 |

| mm2000 | hi there. how can i login as www-data in from the terminal? | 14:54 |
| genius | erUSUL: can i make kernel upgrade and update software w/o reinstall? | 14:54 |
| GleepGlop | Slart: yeh, if I try and remove evolution-data-server-common, gnome-panel is removed too. I guess I can keep just that. | 14:54 |
| thiebaude | mm2000:you trying to get on-line? | 14:54 |
| cristiano_ | oi | 14:54 |
| nikki_ | Which nVidia drver should I use for a GeForce FX 5600 card? I tried 173.14.12 (official, nvidia, and envyng), and 96.43.05 (envyng), but the screen flickers, and I get horizontal artifacts. This doesn't, however, happen with 71.86.04, but then, compiz won't run without xgl, and I can't run TF2 under wine because of lack of pixel shader support. | 14:54 |
| edaoman | thanks for Slart , ubottu , sorsis | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | genius: no; maybe the 32 bit server kernel can access all the ram but i'm not sure | 14:55 |
| AzizLight | I'm configuring urxvt. In .Xdefaults which should I use URxvt.[resource] or URxvt*[resource] and what is the diference between the two please? | 14:55 |
| LjL | genius, erUSUL: it's a limitation of the kernel, but you don't necessarily need 64-bit. i believe the Server kernel, for instance, can support more than 3Gb | 14:55 |
| mm2000 | <thiebaude>: haha. | 14:55 |
| mm2000 | anyone? | 14:55 |
| benzss | is xubuntu the best ubuntu 'flavour' for laptops? | 14:55 |
| Pici | benzss: Depends on your needs really. | 14:56 |
| benzss | my laptop isn't particularly quick but it isn't low-end either, and i'm not sure i wnat to inflict the bloated usual ubuntu variant on it | 14:56 |
| MethodOne | benzss, what are the specs of your laptop? | 14:56 |
| thiebaude | !www-data | 14:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about www-data | 14:56 |
| locke | benjick, its the best for lower end computers, and anything that isn't much of a powerhouse | 14:56 |
| locke | er | 14:56 |
| locke | benzss, | 14:56 |
| LjL | benzss: in my opinion, it mostly depends on the applications you're going to use. if you're going to use full GNOME and/or KDE applications, it makes little sense to use Xfce for performance reasons, since you'll get just about all of the "bloat" anyway | 14:56 |
| nikki_ | Which nVidia drver should I use for a GeForce FX 5600 card? I tried 173.14.12 (official, nvidia, and envyng), and 96.43.05 (envyng), but the screen flickers, and I get horizontal artifacts. This doesn't, however, happen with 71.86.04, but then, compiz won't run without xgl, and I can't run TF2 under wine because of lack of pixel shader support. | 14:57 |
| mm2000 | how can I be the user www-data? | 14:57 |
| locke | benzss, if you are a fan of quick response and don't want to have to worry about any bloat, go with it, it's very nice and quick | 14:57 |
| GleepGlop | benzss: I've had luck using zenwalk and archlinux | 14:57 |
| LjL | mm2000: don't be, perhaps make yourself a member of the *group* www-data rather | 14:57 |
| nikki_ | benzss: Or, use xmonad. I'm using it right now, and it rocks. :P | 14:57 |
| benzss | oh cool lots of ideas :] | 14:57 |
| GleepGlop | benzss: on legacy machines :) | 14:57 |
| thiebaude | benzss:or you could you a window manager | 14:57 |
| mm2000 | <LjL>: I want to become the user www-data, is that possible? | 14:58 |
| DaLiang | hello,I can.t move my soft application interface in the screem!!! | 14:58 |
| nikki_ | benzss: Use xmonad, if you're willing to tamper around with configs (but you'll get what you want). | 14:58 |
| mm2000 | I want to have exactly the same permissions as it so i can debug a php-script. | 14:58 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about is fun. :p | 14:59 |

| benzss | to be honest i just want something that can word process, play music/films etc with no trouble but not be bloated or anything | 15:00 |
| thiebaude | benzss:ubuntu should be quick with 1 gb, i have only 512 | 15:00 |
| benzss | so i'm hearing archlinux and xubuntu? | 15:00 |
| genius | So i need to enable PAE mode for my kernel. I've done this when i was on windows. | 15:00 |
| benzss | thiebaude: ye it *should* be fine, but i'm always skeptical. my pc specs aren't much better than this laptop but it performs way better | 15:00 |
| kebomix | thx | 15:01 |
| IamSOG | if it's too slow try Xubuntu | 15:01 |
| thiebaude | benzss:try fluxbox | 15:01 |
| GleepGlop | benzss: ymmv on arch but it is a real lean distro, the repos are not as diverse as ubuntu's | 15:01 |
| LjL | genius: yes, i believe that's the core of the issue. installing the server kernel will enable that for you, however i suppose the server kernel might have other slight drawbacks for a desktop, possibly | 15:01 |

| cbr_ | does my iphone work with ubuntu? need to sync contacts and calendar | 15:02 |

| ubottu | AngryElf: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 15:02 |
| faria | apt-get install apache2 php4 libapache2-mod-php4 ......why this command is not working in ubuntu 8.04 | 15:02 |
| LjL | AngryElf: no wait, you don't want to reset them to default, just restart them... | 15:02 |
| thiebaude | benzss:i wish i had 1g | 15:02 |
| kebomix | i have problem with rar extract | 15:02 |
| AngryElf | well too late :( | 15:02 |
| benzss | it doesn't feel like 1g tbh | 15:02 |
| LjL | AngryElf: i guess "killall gnome-panel" alone will do, it should restart automatically | 15:02 |
| kebomix | when file spilt to 3 extracted rar files , | 15:02 |
| thiebaude | hmm | 15:02 |
| faria | apt-get install apache2 php4 libapache2-mod-php4 ......why this command is not working in ubuntu 8.04 | 15:03 |
| adpot | hey :0 | 15:03 |
| kebomix | and when i extract them on ubuntu ,it give me each file in folder | 15:03 |
| genius | LjL: i fear this drawbacks | 15:03 |
| LjL | AngryElf: well, you'll just have to put any custom applets back into position | 15:03 |
| LjL | genius: well, rolling a custom kernel has its own drawbacks, too | 15:03 |
| adpot | Hey folks, anyone available to give me some info/help with virtualisation ? | 15:03 |
| erUSUL | kebomix: you have to do "unrar x file.rar" (on only one of them, the first, usually *.rar or sometimes .r00) | 15:04 |
| faria | apt-get install apache2 php4 libapache2-mod-php4 ......why this command is not working in ubuntu 8.04 | 15:04 |

When I switch on another tty and back ont tty7 it is for a while good. With wi-fi it is similar.

| erUSUL | !addingfs | Rossen_ | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Rossen_: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc).

| nateeeee | erUSUL: ok, installed. now i assume is when i try that command line? | 16:34 |
| dury | datta: when you said no option in the front.... where you mean? | 16:34 |
| padee | hydroponic, i know. but the strange thing is, that it shows both monitors during startup... | 16:34 |
| akahige | indian_munnda: got it open | 16:34 |
| indian_munnda | akahige: can u see the proces in it? | 16:34 |
| poing_ | dany_21a_, firefox > /dev/null 2>&1 & does the trick | 16:34 |
| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple: yes i do those steps | 16:34 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: sudo ms-sys -mbr /dev/whatever (put there the device of the hard disk windows is located) usually /dev/sda or /dev/hda | 16:34 |

| dury | datta: open your volume control, right? | 16:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: Yes, so the result of (4) is what you would install | 16:34 |

| dam85 | dpkg -i apache2_2.2.8-1ubuntu0.4_all.deb | 16:35 |
| dam85 | right? | 16:35 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: is « sudo ms-sys --mbr /dev/whatever » (put there the device of the hard disk windows is located) usually /dev/sda or /dev/hda | 16:35 |
| akahige | indian_munnda: that didn't work either -- but I was able to lower the priority. (not that that did anything do keep it from chewing up all the cpu cycles) | 16:35 |

| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple: i have to install the others packages ? | 16:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: correct | 16:37 |

| dury | where is located firefox in Ubuntu.... is it /usr/lib/share/firefox | 16:39 |
| dam85 | IntuitiveNipple: what? | 16:39 |
| IamSOG | I wonder if there's an option in Ubuntu to set what kinds of CPU I have ? | 16:39 |
| Pici | dury: which firefox will tell you | 16:39 |
| Pici | IamSOG: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 16:39 |
| indian_munnda | akahige: ok, start totem once again and close it properly and if the process has been killed or not. | 16:39 |
| IamSOG | oh, thanks pici | 16:40 |
| datta | dury: there is no volume control | 16:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: sudo dpkg -i apache_xxxxxxx.deb, apache-mpmxxxxxxxxxxx.deb apache-commonxxxxxxxx.deb | 16:40 |
| akahige | indian_munnda: I tried that. all it did was open another Totem instance -- which closed just fine | 16:40 |
| dam85 | http://rafb.net/p/sB3oYh95.html | 16:40 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: and any other packages already installed that you've rebuilt | 16:40 |
| Donyc | #ubuntu-translators | 16:40 |
| nateeeee | erUSUL: how odd. it told me all the "correct usages" and gave me a warning about writing things wrong. lemmie check this, make sure i did it right. | 16:40 |
| akahige | indian_munnda: sys monitor lists the process as "uninterruptible" -- could that have something to do with the difficulty killing it? | 16:41 |
| dury | Pici: thanks for assist me.... firefox Web Browser | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: i misstyped the command the first time.. is --mbr no -mbr | 16:41 |
| nateeeee | erUSUL: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo ms-sys -mbr /dev/sda1 | 16:42 |
| nateeeee | erUSUL: that's wht i put | 16:42 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: no sudo ms-sys --mbr /dev/sda | 16:42 |
| edugonch | Hello, do you know a good pure GTK sqlite GUI, I have found some very good but for QT4, and I need for GTK, thanks | 16:42 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: without the 1 and with --mbr | 16:42 |
| indian_munnda | akahige: ok, do one thing start the movie clip which it is showing o hovering over it and close that properly, as long as i know it a network problem thats why ur not even able to kill the process. | 16:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | dam85: That is because you've managed to install two mpm-workers - If you're using FastCGI and suexec you'll want to remove apache2-mpm-prefork | 16:43 |
| sugi | how could i add a command at the end of a bash file to make it easier to run. IE instead of sh /home/sugi/.gamebash or i could just type in gamebash. is it possible to do that? | 16:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: Yes, make the *first* line #!/bin/bash | 16:43 |
| dury | datta: top-right.... where the date is...... there is a speaker icon if you have the sound driver properly installed | 16:43 |
| hydroponic | padee: I was just wondering if it worked outside X | 16:43 |
| nateeeee | erUSUL: so it will default to sda1 even with out putting the 1. correct? because as far as i can tell, that should be be my windows drive as it's the largest partition. (most blocks is how i made the guess) | 16:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: Then, you don't need "sh <file>" | 16:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: Make sure the file is executable: chmod a+x <file> | 16:44 |
| xnv | sugi: IntuitiveNipple's suggestion would require you to be in that directory and type ./.gamebash | 16:44 |
| sugi | IntuitiveNipple: i already did that..... | 16:44 |
| dam85 | http://rafb.net/p/8CYXDB85.html | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: no you want to writte the mbr to the disk /dev/sda not to the first partition of the disk /dev/sda1 | 16:44 |
| dam85 | but php5 will unistalled | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: a disk is not the same as a partition | 16:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: And, you don't have to end the filename with ".sh", it can be omitted | 16:44 |
| dury | datta: double click in it ... then Edit -> Preferences | 16:45 |
| sugi | xnv: is there of way of defining a bash file for a command? | 16:45 |
| Pici | sugi: You can put the file into ~/bin/ , which is by default part of your user's $PATH | 16:45 |
| nateeeee | erUSUL: heheh, good (and should have been obvious) point | 16:45 |
| akahige | indian_munnda: opened the file (in a new Totem instance) then closed it without a problem | 16:45 |
| xnv | sugi: I don't your question, but perhaps the 'alias' command will help you | 16:45 |
| nateeeee | erUSUL: :P in any case. i pasted your commandline into termil and this is what it printed. | 16:45 |
| indian_munnda | akahige: did it killed the process? | 16:45 |
| nateeeee | erUSUL: Windows 2000/XP/2003 master boot record successfully written to /dev/sda | 16:45 |
| thxpnp_ | hi everyone =] | 16:46 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: seems to have worked | 16:46 |
| sugi | xnv: yea..... the so called alias. i have heard much of it, but have no understanding of it. how do i use it? | 16:46 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: By default the shell PATH *does not* include the current directory (unlike Windows). If you want to run *any* script from the same directory it is in, you must specify the script's name with the prefix ./ | 16:46 |
| xnv | sugi: There are plenty of examples on the web. Use your favorite search engine. | 16:46 |
| nateeeee | erUSUL: well, if you don't see me back then know that you have my DEEEEPEST thanks. you know how scary it is to think you'll have to redo you WHOLE system. well, i don't have backup space :P lol | 16:47 |
| akahige | indian_munnda: it didn't kill the original process. it opened a new process that closed when I closed the video player | 16:47 |
| erUSUL | nateeeee: good luck | 16:47 |

| PcTek | the ubuntu people never have gotten that right. | 17:01 |

| Orchid` | dury, so did I. but it keeps quitting out | 17:07 |
| Orchid` | i.e. i go to my xboxlive profile today, having had flash working about twelve hours ago, and it noo longer works. | 17:07 |
| mohsi1 | Problem is that I am not able to borese ONLY internet rest is ok i.e. ping, nslookup etc | 17:08 |

| dury | Orchid: could be the flash release... I not sure | 17:10 |
| zewm_ | mohsi1: You have to reconfigure your DNS settings then | 17:10 |
| mohsi1 | zewm: nslookup gives correct results, I've already fixed that problem, I am using OpenDNS now | 17:10 |
| zewm_ | mohsi1: Then there may be a config issue with OpenDNS | 17:11 |
| Orchid` | dury, well should i try to roll back or no? | 17:11 |
| mohsi1 | zewm: What that might be? | 17:11 |
| mohsi1 | nslookup brings correct results | 17:11 |
| DuClare | Orchid`, Try Windows or Plan9 | 17:11 |
| zewm_ | mohsi1: I have no clue. I've never used OpenDNS. But if websites are not coming back to you that is most likely an issue with your DNS configuration | 17:12 |
| dury | Orchid: you mean to install it again... but with....different release? | 17:12 |
| Orchid` | DuClare, plan9 what is that? and windows? id prefer not to go back to that mess yet. | 17:12 |
| zewm_ | mohsi1: Have you tried a different browser? | 17:12 |
| DuClare | An OS. | 17:12 |

| iljcu__ | I'm reinstalling linux, how can I put some files on C:\ drive (windows) so i don't have to redownload them | 18:07 |
| ksbalaji | bobertdos, for example, I had an application in the name of zoneminder which is no more in my system. However, the boot sequence shows a try to load zoneminder and fails. I want to edit this | 18:07 |

| bobertdos | ksbalaji: Let's see.........That would probably either be removing services from startup or editing the RC init scripts. Beoyond that, though, I am not sure. | 18:11 |
| Lava | thanks hwilde , Ooble Does this mean there is no solution? | 18:11 |
| Ooble | I've just read the bug comments, but it seems that way Lava. | 18:12 |
| ksbalaji | bobertdos, for example, I had an application in the name of zoneminder which is no more in my system. However, the boot sequence text shows that it is trying to load zoneminder and reports an error. I want to edit this procedure of booting. | 18:12 |
| zagibu | anyone using kvm + libvirt in here? if so, how did you do file sharing between the host and it's guests? | 18:12 |
| Lava | Ooble, damnit, isn't there any other solution around it? this really should get fixed | 18:13 |
| hwilde | Lava, delete everything and reinstall | 18:13 |
| hwilde | Lava, stop browsing things you are ashamed to hve in your history | 18:13 |
| bobertdos | ksbalaji: unless of course some of these entries are modules, in which case you'd want to unload them | 18:13 |
| Lava | hwilde, ive tried that, but it doesnt work | 18:13 |
| ksbalaji | bobertdos, yep - there you are! How to remove services from startup? How to edit RC init scripts? Pl tell | 18:13 |
| Ooble | It could be possible to edit the sqlite directly. | 18:13 |
| Lava | hwilde, cant seem to be able to delete | 18:13 |
| hwilde | Lava, eh? | 18:13 |

| bobertdos | ksbalaji: modules are removed using the modprobe command in the terminal (read the manpage for more information). Services are removed from Startup via System->Administration->Services, I am not very knowledgeable of the init scripts actually. Try to see if modprobe can clean anything up for you. | 18:17 |

| ironfoot_495 | I got flashplugin-nonfree on my ubuntu 8.04 but it's not activating? | 18:20 |
| zagibu | justshams: I don't see your card on the supported chipsets list here: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html | 18:20 |
| bobertdos | ironfoot_495: for Firefox? | 18:20 |
| Pici | bakkalohriat: If you're asking about Debian, you should try #debian. #Ubuntu is only for Ubuntu support. | 18:21 |
| bakkalohriat | I just came from #debian, nobody there even knew what I was talking about :( | 18:21 |
| justshams | hey it is ther only... G35.. | 18:21 |
| ironfoot_495 | bobertdos: yes | 18:21 |
| shepherd | i just nuked my hard drive and i'm unable to install 8.04 with the live cd. i just get i/o buffer errors(any way to fix this?).....i can however install 7.1 with no problem, my question is : is it harmful to upgrade from 7.1 to 8.04? | 18:21 |
| zagibu | ah, right | 18:21 |
| bobertdos | ironfoot_495: If you type about:plugins into Firefox, do you see it? | 18:21 |
| Lava | thx hwilde ! bye | 18:21 |
| bakkalohriat | I just like the clean interface, and was wondering if there was a package name or code source I could install it from | 18:21 |
| zagibu | so, ubuntu should automatically load the right driver | 18:21 |
| hwilde | Lava, yep | 18:21 |
| ironfoot_495 | bobertdos: wait one | 18:22 |
| aimtrainer | hi! I recently heard about an ubuntu based distribution with all codecs and videostuff that you need to install manually in ubuntu included - can anybody help me out please? - I dont remember the name | 18:22 |
| Pici | bakkalohriat: Are you running Debian or Ubuntu? | 18:22 |
| leslieviljoen | justshams: is this a laptop with an external monitor? | 18:22 |
| justshams | zagibu:that aint happening.. then y am i not able to enable desktop effects or other related grafix options like monitor resolution?? | 18:22 |
| bakkalohriat | Pici: Right now, Debian with a basic install of Gnome. | 18:22 |
| justshams | no no.. its a desktop | 18:22 |
| zagibu | aimtrainer: are you talking about the medibuntu repositories? | 18:22 |
| Nichev1 | aimtrainer: you will likely have to pay for it | 18:22 |
| shepherd | i just nuked my hard drive and i'm unable to install 8.04 with the live cd. i just get i/o buffer errors(any way to fix this?).....i can however install 7.1 with no problem, my question is : is it harmful to upgrade from 7.1 to 8.04? | 18:23 |
| zer0o | anybody uses veoh? | 18:23 |
| Pici | bakkalohriat: Then you'll need to ask in #debian about it, our package repositories differ. | 18:23 |
| leslieviljoen | justshams: was another monitor connected when you installed, or did it install like this? | 18:23 |
| bakkalohriat | Pici: Alright, thanks anyway | 18:23 |
| zagibu | justshams: do you have a clean install of ubuntu now, or is it already broken because you messed with it? | 18:23 |
| a75 | Hello, I have a problem with my Athreos AR5007EG wifi on asus f5n. I have ubuntu 8.04. Can anybody help me? | 18:23 |
| aimtrainer | zaggy-nl, no its actually just an altered ubuntu version with codecs and stuff included | 18:23 |
| crushy | shepherd whats ur purpose of upgrade | 18:23 |
| carandraug | shepherd: not harmful. I did it before | 18:23 |

| rilak | Hi folks, here's my problem: I just stomped over my partition table on the primary HDD (dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda, so it's beyond salvaging). I am getting correct block partition start/count information from the kernel in /proc/partitions. I'd like to restore my partition table. The question I now have is this: partitions do not seem to start on sector boundaries (which is 255*63=16065 blocks); how can I force fdisk, or | 18:24 |
| aimtrainer | ^^ | 18:24 |
| crushy | justshams: open terminal and type sudo displayconfig-gtk | 18:24 |
| bobertdos | aimtrainer: I believe you're referring to Easybuntu, but you know what? It's not supported anymore, so if you want to use it, you're on your own. | 18:24 |
| crushy | see if u can change resolution:D | 18:24 |
| zagibu | justshams: what kind of monitor is it? I had LOTS of trouble with intel driver and HDMI, but it turned out to be the monitor | 18:24 |
| aimtrainer | bobertdos, no its not that | 18:25 |
| aimtrainer | Ill tell you if I found out | 18:25 |
| justshams | its a DELL WIDE SCREEN LCD | 18:25 |
| justshams | with web cam integrated | 18:25 |
| crushy | bye everyone :) | 18:25 |
| carandraug | aimtrainer: were you talking about Mint Ubuntu (now Mint Linux)? | 18:26 |
| migm2 | Hi -- i mounted a jumpdrive (mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/jumpdrive -o rw) but i cannot create any files or anything on it unless i use sudo | 18:26 |
| migm2 | otherwise i get permissions errors.. but the directory is chmod 777 | 18:26 |
| migm2 | ideas? | 18:26 |
| justshams | displayconfig-gtk | 18:26 |
| aimtrainer | carandraug, exactly that s it | 18:26 |
| justshams | i did taht | 18:26 |
| aimtrainer | Do you have any experience with it? | 18:26 |
| justshams | i got a window shalli change the appropriate options? | 18:26 |
| carandraug | migm2: the directory is 777? Shouldn't you make it -R 777? | 18:26 |
| rilak | migm2, check /etc/fstab, maybe the filesystem is mounted so that users can't access it | 18:26 |
| aimtrainer | is it any different from ubuntu except for the codec thing? | 18:27 |
| carandraug | aimtrainer: no, just heard about it. | 18:27 |
| rilak | though that should be visible in permissions | 18:27 |
| migm2 | rilak: its not in fstab, i manually mounted it | 18:27 |
| aimtrainer | ok thanks! | 18:27 |
| carandraug | aimtrainer: it does use the same repos | 18:27 |
| rilak | migm2: ah sorry | 18:27 |
| migm2 | carandraug: thats correct, it is chmod -R 777 | 18:27 |
| migm2 | i'm stumped on this one | 18:27 |
| migm2 | any other ideas? | 18:27 |
| rilak | migm2: so /media/jumpdrive is 777? | 18:27 |
| migm2 | rilak: correct | 18:27 |
| rilak | migm2: what are the files' permissions inside it? | 18:27 |
| rilak | migm2: the content of the drive | 18:27 |
| carandraug | aimtrainer: but even on that I'm not sure. You better check their website oor IRC channel | 18:27 |
| migm2 | its a brand new drive | 18:27 |
| rilak | aha | 18:28 |
| migm2 | nothing is in it besides the new file i just created with sudo | 18:28 |
| carandraug | migm2: is the partition ext3? You can't do that 777 thing in ntfs partitions | 18:28 |
| migm2 | its vfat | 18:28 |
| justshams | did changes | 18:28 |
| justshams | will restart and be back | 18:28 |
| justshams | :) | 18:28 |
| leslieviljoen | justshams: cool | 18:29 |
| rilak | migm2, thy this just for kicks: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/jumpdrive -o rw,user,remount | 18:29 |
| ironfoot_495 | bobertdos: I've downloaded the install_flash_player_9_linux where do I put it | 18:29 |
| migm2 | rilak: okay, hang on | 18:29 |
| ironfoot_495 | ? | 18:29 |
| zagibu | justshams: you can put Option "ModeDebug" "true" to your device section in xorg.conf, then hit ctrl alt and backspace, and finally check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for hints | 18:29 |
| milostrife | anyone tell me how i can install a file from an iso without burning it to disc? | 18:29 |
| rilak | milostrife: sudo mount FILE /mnt -o loop | 18:29 |
| carandraug | migm2: I'm not sure if fat partitions would also take care of permissions the same way ext3 | 18:29 |
| bobertdos | ironfoot_495: Before I answer that, we need to know if Firefox detects flash at all. Is it listed in about:plugins? | 18:30 |
| zagibu | is really noone using kvm for virtualization here? | 18:30 |
| milostrife | rilak, does that work if it's on an external hard drive | 18:30 |
| migm2 | carandraug: this can't be the first time someone has mounted a vfat jumpdrive | 18:30 |
| rilak | milostrife, if the external drive is mounted and you can read the file, yes | 18:30 |
| migm2 | mount: /media/jumpdrive not mounted already, or bad option | 18:30 |
| migm2 | it is not mounted already | 18:30 |
| facundobatista | Hi all | 18:30 |
| migm2 | so bad option | 18:30 |
| ironfoot_495 | bobertdos: I don't know I guess I'll go and look b back. | 18:30 |
| padee | allright. i don't know further. i still try to install the m-audio delta1010 on hardy. i hardly get any sound to the external soundcard. does anyone have any experience? | 18:30 |
| facundobatista | Does anybody tried Ubuntu on a Phenom tricore? | 18:31 |
| bobertdos | !iso | milostrife | 18:31 |
| ubottu | milostrife: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 18:31 |
| rilak | migm2, let's try without automatic remounting: make sure it's unmounted, then mount /dev/sdb /media/jumpdrive -o rw,user | 18:31 |
| migm2 | k | 18:31 |
| leslieviljoen | migm2: just type mount | 18:31 |
| rilak | migm2, nouser is the default which prohibits plain users from accessing it, hence user in -o | 18:31 |
| migm2 | rilak: got it, hang on | 18:31 |

| wallenpb | hi | 18:32 |
| milostrife | but is there a program i can use like power iso if i dont want to use the terminal | 18:32 |
| milostrife | ? | 18:32 |
| migm2 | nope, thats not it | 18:32 |
| carandraug | migm2: yes. I have one myself. But I can't for example, put a link on my http server pointing for a folder on that partition. It doesn't work. People who try to access get the no permissions error | 18:32 |
| rilak | milostrife, in Ibex (not sure if works for Feisty) you can right-click on the file and Open With... > Archive Mounter | 18:32 |
| migm2 | its owned by root:root | 18:32 |
| migm2 | could that be part of the problem here | 18:32 |

| scyTh3 | I am having a bit of a problem after kernel update. I have set 'automatic module loading' in the kernel and after reboot into new kernel ...no modules are running..I did a make modules && make modules_install and can manually load modules..In privious kernel compiles all modules would load on boot..what am I doing wrong if someone can help? | 18:34 |
| scyTh3 | I am also using slackware if someone can help... | 18:34 |
| leslieviljoen | migm2: I think it's a mount option | 18:34 |
| carandraug | Ooble: yes. It just doesn't work with fat partitions. It's a old problem, I solved it in the meantime, that I was refering to mention migm2 that fat partitions don't take care of permissions the same way ext3 do | 18:35 |

| iBashUsr | how do i have a vncserver that is online for the login window? | 18:35 |
| ironfoot_495 | bobertdos: I haven't found where the plugins are? | 18:36 |
| iBashUsr | i want to be able to vnc to the server and always see what i have on screen | 18:36 |
| carandraug | Ooble: because my http server was just a bunch of symlinks. All worked except the one pointing to a folder inside a fat partition | 18:36 |
| Ooble | carandraug, that makes sense. Sorry for the mixup. | 18:36 |
| carandraug | Ooble: but thanks anyway | 18:36 |
| migm2 | hrm | 18:36 |
| migm2 | ill try google | 18:36 |
| leslieviljoen | migm2: can you look at the output of just 'mount'? | 18:36 |
| migm2 | sure | 18:36 |
| migm2 | in syslog? | 18:36 |
| leslieviljoen | migm2: what is the line containing the drive? | 18:36 |
| migm2 | leslieviljoen: meaning? | 18:37 |
| PerfectExodus | If a 3D Acceleration test displays spinning gears like its suppose to, why would it say "failed"? | 18:37 |
| carandraug | migm2: shouldn't you be mounting /dev/sdbX instead of just sdb? | 18:37 |
| bobertdos | ironfoot_495: type about:plugins into the firefox location bar. | 18:37 |
| leslieviljoen | migm2: just type 'mount' and find the drive there, then post the line | 18:37 |
| krazy-h_1 | Hi i'm having problems with java | 18:37 |
| leslieviljoen | migm2: like: /dev/sda5 on /media/Storage type xfs (rw) | 18:37 |
| ironfoot_495 | bobertdos:ok | 18:37 |
| migm2 | carandraug: /dev/sdb is what shows up on kern.log when i plug the usb drive in | 18:37 |
| migm2 | so, no, i dont believe so | 18:37 |
| bobertdos | milostrife: There should be. Search the repos with apt-cache or Synaptic. | 18:37 |
| migm2 | /dev/sdb on /media/jumpdrive type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) | 18:38 |
| krazy-h_1 | unable to run .jar application on ubuntu | 18:38 |

| carandraug | migm2: can you pastebin that? | 18:39 |
| migm2 | sure | 18:39 |

| migm2 | but i can mount it | 18:41 |
| migm2 | and i can write to it too | 18:41 |

| migm2 | its just a hard drive | 18:43 |
| bobertdos | Geboy: When you install Hardy on a system that already has Windows installed, the partitioner should detect any NTFS partitions and put them in fstab so they'll automount for you. That's what's supposed to happen normally. | 18:43 |
| migm2 | i should be able to format it however i want | 18:43 |
| Adam | Hi! Can some one help with installation of Ubuntu? :) | 18:43 |
| Geboy | should i make a blank partition first and then install ubuntu | 18:43 |
| === Adam is now known as Guest44221 | ||
| carandraug | migm2: yes. The partition table is a mess. Try format it if you can | 18:44 |
| Geboy | or will the partitioner have the ability to shrink windows ntfs partitioan there is? | 18:44 |
| bobertdos | Geboy: Yeah, that's usually the best way to do it. | 18:44 |
| leslieviljoen | gotta go, later | 18:44 |
| carandraug | MOzartstaedter: what exactly happens? | 18:44 |
| grindhold | hello does someone know how to wake up a sleeping process in ubuntu? | 18:44 |
| bobertdos | Geboy: The partitioner can resize too, it's up to you which way to go :) | 18:44 |
| Vlet | grindhold: fg | 18:44 |
| Guest44221 | Hello. Is there someone who will help me to install Ubuntu? :) | 18:45 |
| grindhold | Vlet: what? | 18:45 |
| carandraug | Geboy: I would leave a blank partition. It's the safest way | 18:45 |
| grindhold | Vlet: i'm serious :D | 18:45 |
| === Guest44221 is now known as Adam | ||
| carandraug | Guest44221: what's your problem? | 18:45 |
| histo | !install > Guest60681 | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Guest60681, please see my private message | 18:45 |
| Geboy | bobertdos: which one is easier? coz i'm affraid using the fdisk to partition my windows | 18:45 |
| Geboy | hihi | 18:45 |
| Vlet | grindhold: so am I. perhaps you should better explain what you want to do. | 18:45 |
| === Adam is now known as Guest17945 | ||
| Geboy | sorry, i really wanna try the ubuntu desktop, but am a complete noob | 18:45 |
| Guest17945 | I can't start from my cd :( | 18:45 |
| bobertdos | Geboy: As carandraug said, blank partitions are safer. Resizing can be risky. | 18:46 |
| grindhold | Vlet: friend of mine run a renderer since 10 pm yesterday and now it is listed as "sleeping" in the processlist. how may he wake it up? | 18:46 |
| Vlet | Guest17945: you may need to go into your computers' BIOS to enable booting from CD | 18:46 |
| unop | Geboy, fdisk isn't really the tool to resize partitions - if that's what you are after | 18:46 |
| grindhold | Vlet: is there any SIG that will help? | 18:46 |
| Guest17945 | Okay | 18:46 |
| Guest17945 | How to? | 18:46 |
| atlef | Guest17945: how did you make the cd? | 18:46 |
| Geboy | ok, thanks alot guys. giving me a good insight. i'll be leaving now installing ubuntu. c u in an hour or so... | 18:46 |
| Geboy | again thanks | 18:47 |
| Guest17945 | I burn it with... | 18:47 |
| unop | grindhold, SIGCONT perhaps? | 18:47 |
| bobertdos | Geboy: The LiveCD comes with the disk partitioner (gparted). That's much easier to use. | 18:47 |
| grindhold | unop: ill try | 18:47 |
| Guest17945 | I burn it with NTI CD&DVD-Maker Gold | 18:48 |
| carandraug | Guest17945: it depends on the computer. Try pressing F2 on boot. This should take you to the BIOS menu. Move around until you see boot order and place CD first | 18:48 |
| atlef | Guest17945: as an image, or did you unpack the files?= | 18:48 |
| Guest17945 | I jusk click on the iso-file on my desktop, then the buring program startet | 18:49 |
| atlef | Guest17945: ok | 18:49 |
| Guest17945 | (Sorry the bad english= | 18:49 |
| Guest17945 | )* | 18:49 |
| Guest17945 | Okay... i will try it. Thanks for the help :) | 18:49 |
| atlef | Guest17945: it's ok. do you have the manual for your machine | 18:49 |
| atlef | Guest17945: it will tell you how to get to the bios | 18:50 |
| Guest17945 | Okay | 18:50 |
| Guest17945 | Bye | 18:50 |
| carandraug | Guest17945: in some new computers you can just press a button on boot, that taes you to a menu to select where to drive from with no need to configure BIOS. (it's usually F8) | 18:50 |
| msikma | hi there. Any way I can upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu without leaving text-only mode? | 18:51 |

| msikma | I guess my sources.list needs to be updated, but where should it point to? | 18:51 |

| carandraug | maniheer: hi | 18:57 |
| groovyrock | right, not kill per se | 18:58 |

| hanoi | my problem that when i go to youtube or any website i can't hear the sound how i can fix it ? | 19:03 |
| msikma | In that case, just get the packages you need, skwo. for example... | 19:03 |
| msikma | sudo apt-get install apache2 | 19:03 |
| carandraug | !grub > carandraug | 19:03 |
| ubottu | carandraug, please see my private message | 19:03 |

| GoddamnDevil | that was to msikma | 19:06 |
| msikma | guitargod: you can edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file | 19:06 |

| carandraug | MOzartstaedter: on those instructions, there's a step "grub> root (hd0,1)". You don't use hd0,1 , you should use whatever the previous command spits out to you | 19:06 |

| bobertdos | carandraug: to remove the line that references the edgy cd | 19:11 |
| msikma | This will ensure that Ubuntu will no longer ask for the CD. | 19:11 |
| Flannel | gotgenes: yes. Is it... hdparm -I ? I don't remember | 19:11 |
| carandraug | lwizardl: no idea. You should take care of that problem then | 19:11 |
| msikma | instead, it will rely on its online sources | 19:11 |

| lwizardl | ? | 19:11 |
| carandraug | guitargod: then look for the CD and entry and place a # on the start of the line | 19:11 |

| skwo | what is gfvsd? | 19:12 |
| guitargod | I do not have the cd...ive never had it... | 19:12 |
| ejer | xmagixx: it is a seperate program, you open a new connection scp username@host:/yourfile /whereyouwanttoputit | 19:12 |
| carandraug | lwizardl: I said I had no idea. I don't have a burner for almost 1 year now so I don't use it. Ask for it instead of looking for other burning aplications | 19:13 |
| guitargod | can i still update without the cd....i tried yesterday..downloaded all 1300 packages..but at the end..needed the cd.. | 19:13 |
| Flannel | guitargod: You're not listening. We've told you many times, today and yesterday, you don't need the CD, you just need to edit that file. Are you unsure as to what to edit? or what? | 19:13 |
| ejer | guitargod: yep it will work once you take out line about CD, and it will reuse packages already downloaded | 19:13 |
| guitargod | yes flannell..sorry..im not very good with linux i told know how to do thgat | 19:13 |
| gotgenes | Flannel, erUSUL: checking | 19:13 |

| Flannel | guitargod: Do you still have that terminal with the editor open? | 19:14 |

| ubottu | xmagixx: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 19:14 |
| carandraug | guitargod: on that file, there's an entry about the CD. You just need to add # at the begining and then save it | 19:14 |
| guitargod | yes i do have it open | 19:14 |
| Ali_ix | xmagixx: scp SOURCE TARGET, both can be eithe rlocal or remote | 19:14 |

| Ali_ix | cjoudrey: try Gparted | 19:56 |
| _2 | Berto fdisk -l | 19:56 |
| ShinobiTeno | Berto 512 or 4096 will do | 19:56 |
| cjoudrey | o kthx | 19:56 |
| guitargod | nottt goood | 19:56 |
| _2 | ShinobiTeno 512 will take four times as long if the real size is 4096 tho | 19:57 |

| rom1v | hi | 19:58 |
| Berto | ShinobiTeno, oh, it says "Cylinders of 16065 * 512" | 19:58 |
| rom1v | I installed "postfix" package, then I deinstalled it | 19:58 |
| opensourceje2 | do i must recompile the kernel if i wanna access the ufs filesystem read/write by ubuntu? | 19:58 |
| rom1v | but I have /etc/init.d/postfix still there | 19:58 |

| NicEXE | I thing is some permission problem but not on webroot. The problem is on xampp system files | 19:59 |
| rom1v | how can I do that Ali_ix | 19:59 |
| rom1v | ? | 19:59 |
| Ali_ix | rom1v: in synaptic you can check 'remove package completely' to remove all presence of it! | 19:59 |
| ShinobiTeno | Berto use 4096 or 512. it doesnt matter really. Larger value leads to bigger blocks per transaction. Some reported it is faster. Doesnt matter actually. | 20:00 |
| rom1v | ok (and with apt-get)? | 20:00 |
| ShinobiTeno | Berto you can do 1024 or 2048 as well. | 20:00 |
| _2 | Berto might suggest that you try it both ways and time it. seeing that you are only wanting to overwrite data anyway. and overwriting more than one time strengthens the affect. | 20:00 |
| _2 | Berto then you'll know :) | 20:00 |
| ShinobiTeno | Berto, you can also try /dev/random. But its much slower | 20:01 |
| Ali_ix | rom1v: apt-get purge ... ? | 20:01 |
| Berto | _2, haha thanks! BTW, /dev/null didn't work as my IF, but /dev/zero is | 20:01 |
| _2 | use /dev/urandom no waiting but less "random" | 20:01 |

| jxander | could someone please point me to some repositories with up-to-date software like the latest versions of pidgin, miro etc. i am thinking of one repository, not separate repositories for each app | 20:16 |
| _2 | one might add "head" "tail" and "tee" to that list ^ | 20:17 |
| [T]ank | my sound is working but my mic is not... I have checked all of my volume sliders and it shows that it should be working... what else can I try? | 20:17 |
| maniheer | Guest10272, or u burned the .iso directly instead of as an image | 20:17 |
| erUSUL | jxander: enable backports and check www.getdeb.net | 20:17 |
| genius | stroyan: thank you, i think that tee variant is more portable | 20:17 |
| [T]ank | i have the: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 20:17 |

| trigpin | need help install prog on hardy get Couldn't find package libruby.so.1.8 | 20:18 |
| trigpin | any help much loved | 20:18 |
| Pici | maniheer: .debs still require that dependecies be met. | 20:19 |
| Zieberian | ohh sorry | 20:19 |
| maniheer | Pici, so amanulla will have to download 3000 .debs | 20:19 |
| erUSUL | trigpin: how are you installing the prog? | 20:19 |
| maniheer | (rough guestimate | 20:19 |
| maniheer | ) | 20:19 |
| Pici | maniheer: It depends on the package, but it could be a lot. | 20:20 |
| trigpin | erUSUL, its a tar.gz extracted it cd to within the folder and just ran hacketyhack | 20:20 |
| maniheer | Pici, amanulla will have to install them in the right order aswell, amanulla is new to ubuntu | 20:20 |
| amanulla | maniheer: download 3000 .debs means? | 20:21 |
| Pici | maniheer: I think gdebi and dpkg will actually take care of the order if you open multiple .debs at the same time. | 20:21 |
| _2 | maniheer i only have 2000 installed and i have 9 desktop environments ? | 20:21 |
| trigpin | erUSUL, this is the site http://hacketyhack.net/get/ they have a ubutnu howto bit but its 404 =( | 20:21 |
| jxander | erUSUL: backports are stable, right? i mean, the app itself is the stable release, not that it would mess my distro up or not... | 20:21 |
| amanulla | maniheer: i will install it just by double-clicking that .deb file and then click install tab is im correct? | 20:22 |
| flathm | hey everyone... what channel would I go to to talk about ubuntu-eee? | 20:22 |

| maniheer | pici, no order problem then | 20:23 |
| maniheer | but there is still the multiple .deb files | 20:23 |
| Ali_ix | Joshooa: sorry, wrong quote | 20:23 |
| Pici | maniheer: Theres no getting over that. | 20:23 |
| maniheer | amanulla, .deb = .msi | 20:24 |
| Joshooa | Ali_ix: It's cool, thought someone was going to help me with my wireless or something oh well.... | 20:24 |
| flathm | failing that... does anyone know what wcstatusd is? it seems to run on all my ubuntu machines, and normally it's not an issue but on my eee pc it's taking 25% cpu all the time, thus reducing my battery life by one quater! | 20:24 |
| Ali_ix | maniheer: actually .debs >= .msi :) | 20:24 |
| amanulla | just now i installed wine successfully how can i use that to run xp applications? | 20:24 |

I only get an X11 connection with the x-cursor and a gray fuzzy background. I've been trying to configure my /.vnc/xstartup but unfortunately I fail. Anyone here who knows how to solve the problem? | 20:25 |
| jxander | erUSUL: cool... thanks a lot :) | 20:25 |
| amanulla | maniheer:i only know .deb i dont know .msi what is that/ | 20:25 |
| Joshooa | Ali_ix: Just that Ubuntu tells me I have no wireless extensions yet I'm connected wirelessly right now, it thinks it's eth0 | 20:25 |
| amanulla | abby87:but how to do so | 20:25 |
| maniheer | amanulla, .msi = windows installer file | 20:26 |
| Ali_ix | Joshooa: weird! | 20:26 |
| abby87 | amanulla: just double click the msi file and do as u do in windows | 20:26 |
| amanulla | maniheer:what is use with .msi? | 20:26 |
| amanulla | abby87:where can i find .msi? | 20:26 |
| amanulla | in my system | 20:27 |
| Ali_ix | amanulla: forget it! you are in linux land now! | 20:27 |
| abby87 | amanulla: what are u trying to install?? | 20:27 |
| Joshooa | Ali_ix: Yeah, I found out while trying to boot up and X wouldn't start, then said I had to go to low graphics mode and then tty8 asked to open a new X server and I said no and then one opened on F9, but F7 still wont show me and I couldn't get 0online because I had now wlano | 20:27 |
| amanulla | i installed just now wine and want to run my yahoo messenger as i run it in xp can i? | 20:27 |
| maniheer | download the normal file to install it | 20:28 |
| maniheer | and double click it | 20:28 |
| Ali_ix | amanulla: you need to get installer file of Y! msg, and then try to install it via wine | 20:28 |
| Joshooa | amanulla: You could run Y! but why? Webcam? | 20:28 |
| amanulla | Joshooa:for voice chat | 20:29 |
| Ali_ix | amanulla: and take a look at plenty of messengers available in linux before that | 20:29 |
| patrickd_ | Is there a way to use "xhost" or similar when connecting to Linux server via ssh, so that when a program is ran it can access the X resources on the server machine. | 20:29 |
| DubAndy | amanulla: that are compatible with the yahoo messenger platform. Pidgin is an excellent example | 20:29 |
| shepherd | ubuntu sucks, i'm going back to windows | 20:30 |
| amanulla | Ali_ix:do i need to get .msi file for Y! messenger wont .exe(for Y! messenger wont work here) | 20:30 |
| maniheer | !pidgin | amanulla | 20:30 |
| ubottu | amanulla: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 20:30 |
| Ali_ix | patrickd_: usually you need to export display in a enviroment variable, if that didn't work, try adding your host to xhost access list. | 20:30 |
| maniheer | shepherd, gd luck | 20:30 |
| Ali_ix | amanulla: you need to get the *installer* file, either it is .msi o .exe | 20:30 |
| amanulla | DubAndy:but in pidgin we wont have voice chat | 20:30 |
| DubAndy | amanulla: Skype is your friend. Use it | 20:31 |

| Curtis | what is a program in ubuntu that you can mount an iso image with? instead of using termianl? | 20:45 |
| bobertdos | !sudo | RawkFish | 20:45 |
| ubottu | RawkFish: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 20:45 |

| Ali_ix | Joshooa: rebooting for SOFTWARE errors is windows thing :) | 20:46 |
| Joshooa | maniheer: A good OS is fixable without restarting the entire computer, just the one part that got changed, like the x server or sound server, but yeah, new kernels and new CPUs need reboots and shutdowns, der | 20:46 |
| node357 | dforsyth, reboot | 20:46 |
| jackyf | XThief: automake? | 20:46 |

| XThief | jackyf i got it working, it was automake, thanks for the help | 20:47 |
| Joshooa | maniheer: Cause then you don't solve the problem. You ignore it and start from scratch, which leaves the problem to arise again possibly. Again, that's like a windows philosiphy, ignorance is bliss.

| lanoxx | it should be a binary | 20:51 |

| bobertdos | lanoxx: So what is it you're actually trying to install? | 20:55 |
| erUSUL | lanoxx: install the debs (double click on them) | 20:55 |
| lanoxx | its a C/C++ IDE | 20:55 |
| stroyan | dforsyth: You could cut and paste xmodmap -e 'keysym semicolon = space' and then use semicolon for space. | 20:55 |
| lanoxx | i can double click them? | 20:55 |
| dforsyth | okayilltrythat | 20:55 |

| lanoxx | maniheer, i share your oppinion, but its not user friendly because not everyone can use the console | 21:13 |

| bobertdos | lanoxx: Okay, valid point :) You know, that would be something to suggest to the developer community, I guess. The problem, as you probably know, is that there's often more than one error with Unix programs :D | 21:23 |

| lanoxx | bobertdos, i know that, but it would already be enough if give the user a hint as where to start searching for the problem. if the program just starts loading and then kills it self without any notice you got nothing | 21:26 |

| PrivateRolf | Is there anyway to build something from source where the terminal will ask me about each cflag, instead of my having to type them all in again? | 22:02 |
| cpf_ | ltracy_, No, I don't know what you're talking now :( | 22:03 |
| cpf_ | Guest25638, Sorry, I'd like to help a lot, but I know little about ubuntu and even less about cups. | 22:03 |
| willluongo | Hello, I added a new card (eth1) which I want to be the new primary interface, but everything is still trying to use eth0. How can i change that behavior? | 22:03 |
| cpf_ | Edit rc.conf? | 22:04 |
| cpf_ | Or however you guys called the global conf item. | 22:04 |
| cpf_ | I guess it'd be init.5 or so in ubuntu ? | 22:04 |
| cpf_ | Ah, well, care, see you guys in some other channel, I'm going to enjoy a small game. | 22:05 |
| Minty95 | I'm looking to install a linux on a laptop for a older person without any computer knowledge and will need just mozilla email photos etc | 22:05 |
| Minty95 | is thare a specail ubuntu setup ? | 22:05 |
| corexcore | Minty95: the dist on the eee would be great | 22:06 |
| PrivateRolf | eeebuntu or Netbook Remix | 22:06 |
| Minty95 | yes thats what i need | 22:06 |
| guitargod | boberto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 22:06 |
| corexcore | The Xandros on the eee is simple as it gets | 22:06 |
| Minty95 | will the netbook remix give me that ? | 22:06 |
| Minty95 | can the xandros be setup on a normal laptop^? | 22:07 |
| guitargod | bobertdos* | 22:07 |
| PrivateRolf | If you want it to Minty, but Xandros has always been a terrible distro imo. | 22:07 |
| guitargod | youtube works now...amazing thank u all | 22:07 |
| turtle2 | when will 64bit flash player be ready? | 22:08 |
| Mark_Jones | Hello can anyone tell me if there is a distro as well made as ubuntu but has downloadable DVD repositories?Or does ubuntu have there repository DVD images posted somewhere I dont know of? | 22:08 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: sorry, sorry | 22:08 |
| BCM34 | Mark_Jones: the repositories are so large they would not fit on a DVD | 22:09 |
| turtle2 | sometimes you must a website for certain repos | 22:09 |
| Mark_Jones | Yes I know there large I have about 30GB of them downloaded and tried using APTonCD but it just didnt work out. | 22:09 |
| turtle2 | Mark, what are you trying to do exactly? | 22:10 |
| bobertdos | willluongo: You can comment out eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces or I think you can use the network manager to deactivate eth0 too. More than one way to accomplish it I think. | 22:10 |
| guitargod | friggg | 22:10 |
| shoot^ | guys, I'm having some issues with SSHFS. It will let me edit a mounted file once, successfully. It then refuses to let me edit it again - the first save appears to break the permissions. Any suggestions? | 22:10 |
| guitargod | youtube works now....but no sound!! any suggestions | 22:10 |
| guitargod | ? | 22:10 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: You need libflashsupport | 22:10 |
| Mark_Jones | guitargod did you install restricted extras? and all gstreamers? | 22:10 |
| B3z3rk3r | Daft_Punk hey man | 22:10 |
| leslieviljoen | guitargod: do you have sound anywhere else? | 22:11 |
| guitargod | bobert...i think when i went to ownload flashplayer-nonfree that was downloaded with it as a package needed... | 22:11 |
| guitargod | i dont know if i did mark... | 22:11 |
| BCM34 | guitargod: does the other sound work? | 22:11 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: Well, just double check. | 22:11 |
| Joshooa | Hey I am having problems with my video and xorg. I have a laptop, it uses UniChrome Pro graphics. Before I was at 800x600, and now that I FINALLY get the drivers to work, I get a higher prettier resolution, but the monitor wont show my whole screen, just the top left part of it.can't see clock or log off or notification area or any of the bottom bar. Screen Resolution will now allow me to change, but when I choose other resolutions noth | 22:12 |
| techsupport | is it possible to mount a 500 g drive in a ubuntu server, and have it appear in "my computer" with assigned drive letter in a windows server 2003 ? | 22:12 |
| guitargod | i have nothing on this computer to check if sound works lol | 22:12 |
| B3z3rk3r | Daft_Punk u there ? | 22:12 |
| === danielb is now known as Guest76574 | ||
| Joshooa | guitargod: I message people if I need too, does the ba-dunk noise | 22:13 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: If Hardy is intact, you can test in System->Preferences->Sound | 22:13 |
| Joshooa | Anybody good with video resolution problem!? Please I need help, I'm getting closer but still not 100% working | 22:13 |

| ryknow | Hey guys, are there any good HTML editors for Linux? | 22:14 |
| Pici | !html | ryknow | 22:14 |
| ubottu | ryknow: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ | 22:14 |
| comicinker | ryknow: that's a trap! | 22:14 |
| guitargod | no sounds works i tested it | 22:14 |
| Joshooa | ryknow: Bluefish I think is a real nice one | 22:14 |
| BCM34 | ryknow: emacs? | 22:14 |
| comicinker | ryknow: just joking | 22:15 |
| === Guest60681 is now known as RichiH | ||
| ryknow | I have dreamweaver...but ehh...I can't get the Key to work with Linix for one reason or another. | 22:15 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: *sigh* This is why I don't do direct upgrades.....:p | 22:15 |
| ryknow | linux* | 22:15 |
| ne_tru_e | Å: Cannot access the lock-file on /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 22:15 |
| ne_tru_e | what's the problem? | 22:15 |
| Pici | ne_tru_e: You already have a package manager running somewhere. | 22:15 |
| techsupport | comicinker, any more detals on that ? | 22:15 |
| BCM34 | ne_tru_e: an update manager is running | 22:15 |
| guitargod | lol well atleast i can watch video now....lol...okay is libflashplayersupport in synaptic? | 22:15 |
| ne_tru_e | i can't install any program because of this | 22:15 |
| BCM34 | guitargod: sudo aptitude install libflashplayersupport | 22:16 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: Yes, but if the rest of your sound isn't working, that's not going to help you. Try switching stuff over to ALSA. | 22:16 |
| ryknow | Does Bluefish allow you to view your "page" as you make it? | 22:16 |
| ryknow | I mean...is it pretty much like dreamweaver? | 22:16 |
| BCM34 | ryknow: no | 22:16 |
| guitargod | i would swuitch it.....but i dont know what also is or how to do but ill have a look | 22:17 |
| BCM34 | !sound | guitargod | 22:17 |
| ubottu | guitargod: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:17 |
| ryknow | I know nothing about web design...Just starting to look into it. Thought it might be a fun challenge. | 22:17 |
| B3z3rk3r | guitargod you can change it in the sonds option form your main menu | 22:17 |
| comicinker | techsupport: it's trappy to ask what is a good editor in a Linux channel, because there are loads, loads of them available ;) | 22:17 |
| ne_tru_e | thanks, this canal rulez :) | 22:17 |
| bobertdos | ryknow: There isn't anything I'm aware of that's quite as powerful as Dreamweaver (in terms of open-source), but you might like Nvu | 22:17 |
| ne_tru_e | *channel | 22:18 |
| BCM34 | ryknow: best thing to do is to start with a basic editor | 22:18 |
| techsupport | comicinker, . ? | 22:18 |
| BCM34 | comicinker: you mean ryknow | 22:18 |
| [T]ank | is there a good program out there for accounting and invoicing? I am picturing something comparable to quickbooks pro | 22:18 |
| comicinker | yes | 22:18 |
| syslq | Is there any advice on fine tunning ubuntu to get smoother laptop performance? Any link would do, I'm not sure what on the net is bullshit and what isnt | 22:18 |
| BCM34 | syslq: what kind of thing do you need? | 22:19 |
| natalisushka | Hi, what are the best trademarks that are best compatible with ubuntu ? | 22:19 |
| SiDi | ryknow, -> design first (including accessibility, usability, findability, retrocompatibility, use of non intrusive client scripts notions), then code, and you'll rockz | 22:19 |
| B3z3rk3r | compiz to run smoothly ! :P | 22:19 |
| ryknow | The screens shots of Nvu look decent. | 22:19 |
| ne_tru_e | compiz at normal settings | 22:19 |
| SiDi | ryknow, Nvu is same as Dreamweaver : it will never be worth a notepad. | 22:20 |
| syslq | BCM34 I'd like to get decent speed with entire desktop enviroment (gnome) on athlon xp 2000+, 1gb of ram, it runs a bit slow now | 22:20 |
| ryknow | I might try that. I'm just looking for fairly easy to use...something that will allow me to preview the page, and something with enough tools to allow for a decent looking site. | 22:20 |
| comicinker | ryknow: you can also use gimp as a website designer | 22:20 |
| BCM34 | syslq: that is strange, not sure what you could tweak, what do you mean a bit slow? | 22:20 |
| === graham is now known as gray-- | ||
| guitargod | sudo aptitude install libflashplayersupport package was not found it found something else and removed it tho lol | 22:20 |
| leslieviljoen | syslq: I use xubuntu for that very reason | 22:20 |
| SiDi | those things dont "design" websites. they create html-like-sometimesreadablebygraphicbrowser-documents. | 22:21 |

| [T]ank | anyone know of a good app for accounting and billing like quickbooks? | 22:21 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: no, no, just libflashsupport | 22:21 |
| B3z3rk3r | leslieviljoen whats the diff between vanilla and xubuntu ? | 22:21 |
| ryknow | Yeah, I need something to help with the layout. | 22:21 |
| leslieviljoen | syslq: XFCE is fast fast fast | 22:21 |

| Delvien | woops | 22:21 |
| ryknow | Som I need something to help me with that end of things. | 22:21 |
| leslieviljoen | B3z3rk3r: xubuntu uses XFCE instead of Gnome | 22:21 |
| syslq | BCM34 well I think I should switch to xfce4 like leslieviljoen said, well I guess ubuntu 8.x is optimised for new hardware core 2 duo etc | 22:22 |
| guitargod | i cannot test my sound in "alsa" because audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. | 22:22 |
| syslq | leslieviljoen yeah I'll do that thanks | 22:22 |
| comicinker | ryknow: I can recommend you a cms system like cmsms for that kind of task | 22:22 |
| leslieviljoen | B3z3rk3r: XFCE's whole focus is efficiency | 22:22 |
| ltracy_ | finally figured it out :). I put in a tex-info by source at somepoint which installed a new install-info and for whatever reason I had /usr/local/bin before /usr/sbin in PATH :) | 22:22 |
| csilk | [T]ank, thats one thing that is missing from linux in general, a good accounting app like quickbooks | 22:22 |
| ltracy_ | two days lost work over crap :( | 22:22 |
| CKyle22 | How can I upgrade vlc to 0.9.3 short of compiling from source? | 22:22 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: close the other programs you have running | 22:22 |
| [T]ank | csilk: there has to be something........ however quality is usually what is missing. ;-) | 22:23 |
| guitargod | i only have this and pidgeon messenger but ok | 22:23 |
| leslieviljoen | csilk: sql ledger is apparently quite good if you need double-entry | 22:23 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: Pidgin could possibly have control of Alsa, it shouldn't, but it might. | 22:23 |
| Doc|Mib | What's the access point name for Australian Virgin Broadband with 3G modems? | 22:24 |
| leslieviljoen | csilk: otherwise gnucash is probably the closest you'll get to quickbooks | 22:24 |
| albert | exi | 22:24 |
| CKyle22 | Is there a .deb of VLC 0.9.3 around? | 22:24 |
| CKyle22 | The one in Ubuntu Hardy is old. | 22:24 |
| Rewt | anyone have info on ubuntu-eee? | 22:25 |
| Doc|Mib | ckyle22: You could probably download one straight from VideoLAN's website | 22:25 |
| iceman`afk | hello all | 22:25 |
| iceman`afk | i cant sudo when i login from ssh to my box | 22:25 |

| CKyle22 | And I can't compile | 22:25 |
| B3z3rk3r | Rewt, what are u wanting to know ? | 22:25 |
| iceman`afk | why is this? | 22:25 |
| hoegaatit | how do I see the name of the driver my audio device is using? | 22:25 |
| BCM34 | who needed quick books alt.? | 22:25 |
| simNIX | iceman`afk, you need to be in /etc/sudoers | 22:25 |
| Doc|Mib | Ckyle22: Why can't you compile? | 22:25 |
| Rewt | if it will support my evdo card | 22:25 |

| dekushrub | i'm at college and me and my roommate have only one ethernet port. Tech Services said we couldn't use a router but hinted that we could convert our router into an ethernet splitter but then refused to tell us. Anyone know how to convert a router into ethernet splitter? | 22:25 |
| BCM34 | dekushrub: just turn of wireless | 22:26 |
| CKyle22 | bastid_raZor: it cant find the mpeg audio decoder | 22:26 |
| simNIX | (at the bootom) | 22:26 |
| DigitalFiz | anyone hwere familiar with quanta+? | 22:26 |
| CKyle22 | even though I have it | 22:26 |
| B3z3rk3r | Rewt can help u with that one im afraid, but u should check out the ubuntu forums | 22:26 |
| CKyle22 | I dont know where Ubuntu has it installed by default | 22:26 |
| B3z3rk3r | and i recall seing a eee-specific forum somewhere on the net too | 22:26 |
| Doc|Mib | dekushrub: Connect an ADSL splitter to it? | 22:26 |
| CKyle22 | but i know its there bcause dpkg says i have it | 22:26 |
| bastid_raZor | CKyle22; sudo apt-get build-dep vlc ;then try | 22:26 |
| bobertdos | Doc|Mib: Last I checked, VideoLan didn't even have a dependencies list ready, which makes compiling difficult. Plus, I doubt Hardy even has all the libraries necessary for the new version. | 22:26 |
| dekushrub | bcm34, i did turn off wireless but there still isn't internets coming through the wire | 22:27 |
| dekushrub | Doc|Mib i don't want to go buy a splitter but that is an option | 22:27 |
| bastid_raZor | CKyle22; what bobertdos said. | 22:27 |
| syslq | BCM34 just one question more, what's the utility for setting up wireless transmission strength in ubuntu? Thanks | 22:27 |
| BCM34 | dekushrub: lol, it should work, no idea what is wrong | 22:27 |
| ltracy_ | dekushrub, or just go get a dumb 4 port hub for 10 bucks | 22:27 |

| comicinker | CKyle22: the new VLC has mainly GUI changes, hardly new functionality as end user. you really need the newest release? | 22:29 |
| comicinker | *for end users | 22:29 |
| bobertdos | CKyle22: but you know, we're all kind of thinking that Intrepid will cover it | 22:29 |
| CKyle22 | Alright | 22:29 |
| CKyle22 | if its only gui its ok | 22:29 |
| CKyle22 | i can wait | 22:29 |

| bachir | hi | 22:32 |
| bastid_raZor | misha77; in gnome ( idon't know xubuntu) you would goto system>administration>login window | 22:32 |
| bachir | is it possible to have autocompletition on emacs? | 22:32 |

| BCM34 | guitargod: do you have gnash installed? | 22:32 |

| BCM34 | knut: you can have it change every x minutes in desktop background controls. | 22:34 |

| WDC | Okay, I am running this command, and it says I need to unlock a directory. What directory? svn co http://svn.mediati.org/svn/r5u870/trunk r5u870 | 22:40 |
| B3z3rk3r | WDC, hey | 22:40 |
| bobertdos | guitargod: That's a good thing, actually. Listen though, is there any way you can do a fresh install? | 22:40 |
| ikonia | WDC: what to you mean "unlock" a directory | 22:40 |
| guitargod | bobert dos......i do not know how to fresh install....and have no cd's lol | 22:40 |
| WDC | ikonia: svn: Working copy 'r5u870' locked | 22:40 |
| ikonia | WDC: you need to speak to the repo owner | 22:40 |
| MXIIA | How can I find out what kind of graphics card I have? | 22:40 |
| B3z3rk3r | tried "sudo" on it WDC? | 22:40 |

| arooni-mobile | folks i'm really trying to get ndiswrapper working properly on my ubuntu hardy box. i installed from ubuntu's package, found the right winxp driver: rtl-8185l (tew-432pi revisionc.1) and it worked GREAT when i first installed it. then i added ndiswrapper to /etc/modules; then restarted a couple times and we dont see the wireless networks anymore :( ideas? | 22:43 |
| pslboy | thank you so much ! | 22:43 |

| Joshooa | MXIIA: Yes, that's what you have | 22:44 |
| guitargod | everythings seems to be fine sept for audio...i remember about a year ago tryin to upgrade from breezy someone saying burn i386 to a disk as image lol.......wouldnt it be easier to unistall the sound considering its not working anyway and reinstall/ | 22:45 |
| MXIIA | Ok, is there a driver for that, Because my desktop effects say that I need a graphics card driver. | 22:45 |
| Joshooa | MXIIA: Probably, you'll have to search. Have you tried checking restricted drivers? | 22:45 |
| MXIIA | No, I haven't | 22:45 |
| MXIIA | I will though | 22:45 |
| DasEi | MXIIA:look up ati HP | 22:46 |

| bobertdos | guitargod: Actually, I suppose it IS possible that the old ALSA and Pulse could be conflicting with each other. | 22:46 |
| Joshooa | MXIIA: Under System > Admin I think, and then go there, it'll hopefully say not enabled, and then you check it, and it installs it, then you logout and back in | 22:46 |
| MXIIA | ok, thanks Joshooa and DasEi | 22:46 |
| Joshooa | MXIIA: And if it's not just there, like my nvidia always is, then you'll have to start searching around | 22:46 |

| dr_Willis | Spherous, if the system sees 'errors' on the disk - it may refuse to mount it also. | 23:02 |
| Spherous | dr_Willis, it refuses to mount, gives me an error, the disc name is 114.5 GB Media | 23:02 |

| puff | DasEi: Okay, looks like it's not mounted. I was going to run a startctl test before doing anything else, should I just abort that and run e2fsck, or can they both run at the sametime? | 23:17 |
| [Solars] | i think you can safely remove gimp, if it does something you don't like use the rescue disk and reinstall it :p | 23:18 |
| Spherous | http://pastebin.com/m4dc00c67 | 23:18 |
| [Solars] | i was thinking gimp == gnome | 23:18 |
| DasEi | puff: let the one finish, as you are in live (ram) | 23:18 |
| Coke | dr_Willis, hey, i would like to ask you one more thing, how do i update Gnome to the latest version ? gnome.org says it's 2.26.. how to update to the latest version ? or do i have to wait for the new ubuntu release ? | 23:18 |
| guitargod | i need to reinstall hardy cause he sound doesnt work.. can i do this without having it on cd | 23:18 |
| ikonia | guitargod: not really | 23:18 |
| comicinker | please copy paste the exact command from above | 23:18 |
| ikonia | guitargod: it is possible, but easier to download and burn | 23:19 |
| puff | DasEi: I can abort the startctl test, it's going to take another 25-30 minutes to complete. | 23:19 |
| DasEi | [Solars]: i was thinking gimp == gnome >>>nope | 23:19 |
| lw0x15 | any1 else is high ? | 23:19 |
| [Solars] | DasEi i corrected myself | 23:19 |
| guitargod | well....i upgraded to hardy not from a disk.... and no sound...have tried multiple things to fix it.... so i think i need to reinstall hardy right?..cause it wasnt a fresh install | 23:20 |
| [Solars] | hence why i made that comment | 23:20 |
| comicinker | Spherous: also make shure you created the directory /media/nfts and not /media.ntfs | 23:20 |
| Spherous | comicinker, ah, sorry I did sda2 instead of sdb2 | 23:20 |
| DasEi | puff : abort it ,,then | 23:20 |
| dr_Willis | coke ubuntu only updates major versions every new relesse., | 23:20 |
| DasEi | puff: then, run : sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sda | 23:20 |
| Spherous | comicinker, yeah I know I got ntfs right, I opened it in a window viewer to double check | 23:20 |
| stanman1 | hi, am thinking of running openvz on my 8.04 hardy, anyone have experience with it? | 23:21 |
| guitargod | ikonia: i upgraded to hardy not from a disk.... and no sound...have tried multiple things to fix it.... so i think i need to reinstall hardy right?..cause it wasnt a fresh install | 23:21 |

| DasEi | puff: what does it say ? | 23:21 |
| Spherous | comicinker, failed to mount again. http://pastebin.com/m1a43d70 | 23:21 |
| corexcore | I try to set up an NFS share. The Share got 770 permissions "user-rob" is a member of the "workgroup" on the server. On the client machine there is also a "user-rob" do he also need to be in such a "workgroup" on the client machine or have I got it all wrong? | 23:22 |
| ikonia | guitargod: I don't think thats teh case, but it's your call | 23:22 |
| stanman1 | anyone running openvz on hardy? | 23:22 |
| DasEi | corexcore:set correct permissions in exports ? | 23:22 |
| corexcore | DasEi: the export is correctly set. | 23:23 |
| comicinker | Spherous: did you shut down windows correctly before? did you use hibernate or something? | 23:23 |
| guitargod | ikonia: okay well i have hardy installed but no sound works....ive tried some things....so what should i do? | 23:23 |
| corexcore | DasEi: I can mount but I get permission denied | 23:23 |
| DasEi | corexcore:what happens if you try to connect ? | 23:23 |
| krazy-h_1 | hi brothers | 23:24 |
| Spherous | comicinker, that HD never worked with windows.... only ubuntu. And yeah I shut it down right, and opened bios and wiped my Sata HD... There shouldn't be any windows data on it... its all from ubuntu | 23:24 |
| DasEi | corexcore:could you paste your exports ? | 23:24 |
| DasEi | !paste | 23:24 |

| ikonia | guitargod: find out what module your sound card uses, and see if it's being loaded is the first step | 23:24 |
| corexcore | DasEi: when I mount -no errors... but when I try to cd /mnt/thebigshare there is a problem | 23:24 |
| corexcore | DasEi: Permission denied | 23:24 |
| ring0 | hi, would you recommend either a microsoft x360 or logitech rumblepad 2? i don't know if the x360 pad is even supported. | 23:24 |
| DasEi | corexcore:chown >username< /mnt/thebigshare | 23:25 |
| guitargod | ikonia: i am not the greatest with linux or ubuntu..im afraid i dont know how to find out which module it is..or if its being loaded | 23:25 |
| corexcore | DasEi: that doesn't change anything on the server? | 23:25 |
| DasEi | corexcore:sudo chown >username< /mnt/thebigshare, sry | 23:25 |
| Spherous | comicinker, by opening bios and wiping, I mean I set the boot order to CD drive and did a clean install of Ubuntu~ | 23:25 |
| ikonia | !sound | guitargod | 23:25 |

| sloopi | How do you run "nividia-settings -l" on resume from suspend? I've tried sleep.d and resume.d and it doesn't work | 23:25 |
| DasEi | corexcore:no, but the ownership of the client's dir | 23:25 |
| puff | DasEi: Okay, appears I was incorrect when I said, earlier, that sda was not mounted. So umount it? | 23:26 |
| DasEi | puff:yes | 23:26 |
| corexcore | DasEi: thanx I try it out | 23:27 |
| DasEi | puff:simply type mount in tmrl to be shure, otherwise : sudo umount/dev/.... | 23:27 |
| Spherous | Shitty IDEs o.o I wish I had a second Sata to do my backing up, or even an external~ | 23:27 |
| comicinker | if you try the force option during mounting, you could face data loss. want to give it a try: sudo ntfsmount /dev/sdb2 /media/ntfs -o force | 23:27 |
| * Pelo waves hello to anyone who remembers him | 23:28 | |
| corexcore | DasEi: chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/thebigshare/': Operation not permitted | 23:28 |
| Spherous | What sort of data loss? Like a chance to lose 32GB of music and 8GB of family pics, or a slight, maybe 10 song loss? | 23:28 |
| stanman1 | corexcore: use sudo | 23:28 |
| corexcore | I did | 23:28 |
| DasEi | corexcore:with sudo ? | 23:28 |
| puff | DasEi: Hm, well, it doesn't show up in mount output, but when I try e2fsck -p /dev/sda I get: | 23:28 |
| comicinker | Spherous: nobody knows | 23:28 |
| stanman1 | ls -la? | 23:28 |
| puff | e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda \n Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? | 23:28 |
| Spherous | Meh, its my only other chance, right? | 23:28 |
| Jesus | . | 23:29 |
| comicinker | Spherous: no | 23:29 |
| DasEi | puff: try a reboot and don't touch the drive before running e2fsck | 23:29 |
| Spherous | What else are my choices to getting the data? | 23:29 |
| DasEi | sudo reboot | 23:29 |

| DasEi | corexcore:you can't change as root ? maybe unmount it first; can you acces the server ? | 23:31 |
| Spherous | comicinker, I'm not worried about space, haha, and by secure you mean, theres no way of data loss? | 23:31 |

| corexcore | DasEi: I can't access the server.. but I can mount it | 23:32 |
| comicinker | *securest* | 23:32 |
| DasEi | corexcore: its a problem on the server-side then | 23:32 |
| corexcore | DasEi: it seems | 23:32 |
| Spherous | alright, sounds better than forcing a mount | 23:32 |
| comicinker | *most secure* | 23:32 |

| stanman1 | corexcore: missed something. Having problems with accessing ntf usb? | 23:33 |
| comicinker | Spherous: or dd | 23:33 |
| DasEi | corexcore: the folder ust be owned by you and exports must allow user | 23:33 |
| Spherous | comicinker, suggest one over the other? | 23:34 |

| erUSUL | Spherous: dd is installed by default.. but for rescuing data there specialized dd's... ddrescue and gddrescue | 23:37 |

| jmscharff2 | wine isn't in like ur standard repositories? | 23:37 |
| corexcore | DasEi: is that in the /etc/exports on the server? | 23:38 |

| Spherous | erUSUL, Oh, alrighty, Thanks! I'm -still- not used to what comes preinstalled on Ubuntu yet~ haha | 23:38 |

| DigitalFiz | how do i install a package thats in an rpm? | 23:40 |
| DasEi | corexcore: best way is to change exports, so you dont nedd it, but to put it plain in clients fstab is a bad idea, so you would then have to set up an extra (crypted) file....change exports ! | 23:40 |
| jmscharff2 | DigitalFiz: u can just double click it should install it for u | 23:40 |
| outbri | DigitalFiz: You need a debian file for ubuntu. | 23:40 |
| DasEi | DigitalFiz: if you absoulutely have to : man alien | 23:40 |
| jmscharff2 | using a package manager | 23:40 |

| DigitalFiz | outbri, its the adobe reader they only offer it in rpm | 23:42 |

| buck_work | I have checked the forums and as much of the Wiki as I can that seems relevant. I have a very strange couple of CUPS issues. These issues are a) My user is in the lpadmin group, cupsd.conf appears to be correct, but if I access http://localhost:631 I get a 403. My more annoying issue is b) I have a network printer I have been able to print to before in 8.04, but now cannot. I can print a test page to it, yet all other applications grey out the Print b | 23:48 |
| buck_work | utton when that printer (and cups-PDF) is selected. Any ideas? x.x | 23:48 |

| comicinker | ups | 23:51 |
| puff | comicinker: Yeah. | 23:51 |
| DasEi | /dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.,puff not clear ? | 23:51 |
| Wotanskrieger | Hello all | 23:51 |
| erUSUL | optimus: not sure i understand... for that you will have to somehow restart or take control of users shells once they are running... and do it for any shell started by them during their entire session not just the first seconds | 23:52 |
| guitargod | this sucks | 23:52 |
| DasEi | puff: sudo e2fsck - p /dev/sda1 | 23:52 |
| guitargod | i cant get sound to work noo matytter what | 23:52 |
| vish | Hey Guys, I'm new here, first time on IRC. | 23:52 |
| evif | can anyone help me with ndiswrapper | 23:52 |
| d0htem | sure | 23:52 |
| DasEi | !ovish :D | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ovish :d | 23:52 |
| Ergo^ | how can i run something like that in crontab ? @reboot for i in /var/www/fastcgi/startup/*.sh; do $i; done | 23:52 |
| DasEi | !ot | 23:52 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 23:52 |
| erUSUL | optimus: maybe there is a way to tell bash to ignore users bashrc or profiles but what you do if the user decides to use another shell ? | 23:52 |
| Ergo^ | it appears that @reboot doesnt work | 23:53 |
| DasEi | puff: works ? | 23:53 |
| optimus | Thats true; I guess its a bad idea since they could just close and re-open bash | 23:53 |
| robnyc|R61 | !et | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 23:54 |
| youknowme | I'm looking for a good webcam app that supports ftp. Any ideas? | 23:54 |
| Spherous | comicinker, is dd bs=512 if=/dev/sda2 of=/home/susa/Documents/foo.dmg conv=noerror,sync right? I'm scared to run it until I'm sure that its correct | 23:54 |
| zcat[1] | vbman11: /boot/grub/menu.lst~ or similar.. I have a menu.lst-2.6.24-19-generic here as well as menu.lst~ which I think is a backup nano left for me | 23:54 |
| erUSUL | optimus: bash has the --rcfile=whatever to force bash to use that rc file and ignore others | 23:55 |
| jmscharff2 | a webcam app that supports ftp? ummm why? | 23:55 |
| d0htem | rofl | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | optimus: maybe you can cook something with that | 23:55 |
| comicinker | Spherous: looks good | 23:55 |
| zcat[1] | there's lots of webcam apps that push files out with ftp | 23:55 |
| Spherous | care to explain how the bs=512 works? | 23:55 |
| optimus | Thanks for the help; I'll try some more. | 23:55 |
| Spherous | Like,is that 512 KB, or MB, or GB? | 23:55 |
| zcat[1] | zcat@mbeki:~$ apt-cache search webcam ftp | 23:56 |
| zcat[1] | webcamd - Capture images from video devices | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | Spherous: 512 bites | 23:56 |
| zcat[1] | that one perhaps? | 23:56 |
| Spherous | erUSUL, so that won't cover my 114.5GB drive will it? | 23:56 |
| Spherous | Should I change it to 1000000000? | 23:56 |
| zcat[1] | Spherous: dd is transferring in blocks of 512 bytes .. normally you'd want something like 'count=1' so it only copies one block of 512 bytes .. | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | Spherous: that just tell dd to read 512 bytes at a time till the end of the infput file (if=) | 23:57 |
| Spherous | Oh, makes sense, thanks | 23:57 |
| clouder`grr | The screensaver Fieldlines shows up in the gnome screensaver preferences dialog, but not the generic xscreensaver dialog. How can I make it show up in both? | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | Spherous: is the step... hard drives have sector sizes of 512 bytes so it is a good idea to use that value for dd when rescuing data | 23:57 |
| zcat[1] | Spherous: sorry, not 'normally' but 'sometimes' eg to overwrite the MBR but not the whole disk, you would use 'bs=512 count=1' to write just one block | 23:58 |
| blue112 | Hello everyone. | 23:58 |
| blue112 | Is there a way to make all outgoing connections goes into a proxy ? | 23:58 |
| Spherous | I don't think it worked right... | 23:58 |
| Spherous | http://pastebin.com/m1621d62d | 23:58 |
| zcat[1] | blue-frog__: export HTTP_PROXY I think | 23:58 |
| stanman1 | corexcore: just to make sure: portmap and nfs-common are installed on the client side? | 23:58 |
| comicinker | Spherous: using dd_rescue the command would be like this: dd_rescue /dev/sdb2 /home/susa/foo.dat , but whatever you prefere... | 23:59 |
| blue112 | zcat[1]: I'm trying, thanks. | 23:59 |
| unop | HTTP_PROXY has no effect on non-http traffic tho | 23:59 |
