| hotrod | hi | 00:02 |

| blbrown | I am using ubuntu and firefox3; I just wrote a long blog entry (several pages) and firefox locked up. Anyone know a command to unlock it, so I don't lose what I wrote | 00:02 |
| jrib | Deiselton: pastebin the full command and full output | 00:02 |
| jrib | !pastebin > Deiselton | 00:02 |
| ubottu | Deiselton, please see my private message | 00:02 |
| blbrown | Actually, I have two instances of firefox, maybe If I close the offending instance | 00:02 |
| DigitalFiz | no it'll ask to force quit and kill both firefox's | 00:03 |
| DigitalFiz | try and kill the plugin if its flash or something | 00:03 |
| blbrown | DigitalFiz, cool, how would I kill the plugin. I bet that is the offending entity | 00:03 |
| Ryuho-campus | hey does 510MB and 1GB of RAM make a lot of difference in Xubuntu on eeepc like hardware? | 00:04 |
| Lamo | any easy way to easily turn on/off the touchpad on a laptop? for some reason while I'm typing my cursor will appear somewhere else? | 00:04 |
| Deiselton | jrib: dont worry about it.... i figured it out... i wasnt running gconf with the sudo command so it was just changing back to show desktop everytime i tried to set it... kinda wierd | 00:04 |
| Deiselton | but its fixed now... thanks | 00:04 |
| thiebaude | ryuho-campus:more ram is better | 00:04 |
| cking | . | 00:04 |
| jrib | Deiselton: you shouldn't need to do that... especially since it returned false when you queried its value | 00:04 |
| Ryuho-campus | thiebaude, right, but is it worth the $50? | 00:04 |
| hotrod | hllo | 00:04 |
| DigitalFiz | blbrown, check top see if you see anything for flash | 00:05 |

| Deiselton | wouldnt change the user.def file unless i was sudo | 00:05 |
| thiebaude | ryuho-campus:you mean to go from 512 to 1 gb | 00:05 |
| airtonix | Ryuho-campus, more ram is always useful... | 00:05 |
| Mr_Fixit | how can i test someone's ports? | 00:05 |
| bobertdos | Lamo: either that or I'm guessing there's something under System->Preferences->Mouse | 00:05 |

| PhaquiLaptop | Hey ya'll. I'm using wine to play warcraft 3, but I have to play it in a window. Is there any way to keep the mouse from leaving the warcraft 3 window when I'm playing? | 00:06 |

| jrib | Deiselton: check your permissions of files in your home directory. They shouldn't be owned by root: find ~ ! -user $USER | 00:06 |
| Lamo | bobertdos: thanks didn't notice anything under mouse. thought I remember there being a specific app for it. | 00:06 |
| Mr_Fixit | thanks georgy_28 | 00:06 |
| georgy_28 | Mr_Fixit, : use nmap | 00:06 |
| PhaquiLaptop | airtonix, can't you think of anything? :( | 00:06 |
| Ryuho-campus | thiebaude, yes, from 510MB to 1GB does it make a noticeable difference if i'm just browsing web and playing music | 00:06 |
| airtonix | PhaquiLaptop, I always played wow on a dual screen set in window mode so i could use vent and firefox... | 00:06 |
| bobertdos | nalioth: /var/logs contains every log in the OS, pretty much | 00:06 |
| PhaquiLaptop | I know there exist dosens of these programs for windows... | 00:07 |
| nalioth | bobertdos: any idea which one to look at ? | 00:07 |
| PhaquiLaptop | yes airtonix, but in wow it isn't critical that the mouse can't leave the window | 00:07 |
| PhaquiLaptop | in warcraft 3, for instance, it is | 00:07 |
| thiebaude | ryuho-campus:im stuck at 512 until i get another motherboard | 00:07 |
| Deiselton | jrib: any chance you know how to force the screensaver to the second screen on my dual screen system? | 00:07 |
| airtonix | PhaquiLaptop, postal2 has the same problem...even in single screen mode...with other quirks | 00:07 |
| Mr_Fixit | man nmap | 00:07 |
| Mr_Fixit | oops lol wrong screen.. | 00:07 |
| PhaquiLaptop | okay yeah | 00:07 |
| airtonix | PhaquiLaptop, not entirely | 00:07 |
| PhaquiLaptop | but this is a known problem it seems | 00:08 |
| PhaquiLaptop | why isn't there any fixes? :( | 00:08 |
| airtonix | PhaquiLaptop, it's an issue with wine and the game... | 00:08 |
| jrib | Deiselton: depends on your setup. Try setting the appropriate DISPLAY value (echo $DISPLAY on your second screen and see if it's different than when you do it on the first screen) | 00:08 |
| PhaquiLaptop | isn't there a functionality in gnome or anything? | 00:08 |
| bobertdos | nalioth: not really, I'd guess boot, syslog, or syslog.0, maybe faillog.......... | 00:08 |
| PhaquiLaptop | it isn't an issue with wine and the game, because the game doesn't have that feature | 00:08 |
| jrib | nalioth: a crash or your system just decided to shutdown? | 00:09 |
| PhaquiLaptop | wine works perfectly. the game works perfectly. | 00:09 |
| airtonix | PhaquiLaptop, it is an issue with wine, since it's "dont let mouse leave window" feature doesnt work | 00:09 |
| PhaquiLaptop | ooh.. yes, I have tried that feature | 00:09 |
| PhaquiLaptop | but there should exist some sort of other solution.. | 00:10 |
| nalioth | jrib: it did not shutdown properly. it did what it would do if you unplugged it. CLICK | 00:10 |
| airtonix | PhaquiLaptop, i assume your running with only one monitor and the wine screen is not using 'emulate virtual desktop' ? | 00:10 |
| PhaquiLaptop | like an external program, or an option in gnome, for instance | 00:10 |
| nalioth | jrib: twice today | 00:10 |
| AnonymousOne | Any grand programs for making bar graphs | 00:10 |
| PhaquiLaptop | that is correct, airtonix | 00:10 |
| khanfused | I've got one that seemed simple until I chased it a while. I've got a fresh-out-of-the-package Lenovo Thinkpad T-61 ( w ) NVIDIA video board, that won't switch resolutions from 1280x800 up to 1680 x whatever-resolution-scales-up. It won't even see that it CAN go above 1280. I've already loaded the NVIDIA binary drivers, along with all of the other kubuntu restricted extras. Have also pulled in the nvidia drivers from | 00:10 |
| nalioth | bobertdos: thanks for the help, but none of the logs to back to before this current session :( | 00:10 |
| pan_ | can i add space to ubuntu's drive? | 00:11 |
| === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] | ||
| jrib | nalioth: I'd add /var/log/messages to the list bobertdos gave. Are you sure it isn't overheating? | 00:11 |
| pan_ | if i have xtra space | 00:11 |
| pan_ | it wont let me using ubuntu live cd | 00:11 |
| airtonix | PhaquiLaptop, the issue is related(i assume) to how the mouse still sends movement vectors even though its at the edge of a screen...this is wines fault | 00:11 |
| pan_ | do i have to use gparted boot disk? | 00:11 |
| nalioth | jrib: see last message (and no, it's a Powermac with nice automatic fans) | 00:11 |

| Finiras | how do i minimize a fullscreen application such as a video game? like alt+tab in windows | 00:15 |
| jrib | nalioth: you could let it run off of a known good version of the live cd and see if it happens still. Then you would be closer to knowing if it's a hardware issue (I'd run a memtest and check the fans). No ideas otherwise about getting more info though | 00:15 |
| LaQuirrELL | anyone here that can talk to me about ntfs-config and the fstab file? | 00:15 |
| jrib | LaQuirrELL: best to just ask the channel your question | 00:15 |
| airtonix | AnonymousOne, i meant is the source financial from an existing spreadsheet in openoffice for example or something like a network bandwidth log? | 00:15 |

| heirenton | khanfused: same issue. I bluntantly copied a old xorg.conf backup over it with changing the resolutions but i don't know exactly why this happens... | 00:18 |
| mefisto__ | LaQuirrELL: fstab.pre-ntfs-config is just a backup | 00:18 |

| jrib | shadowbane: see the last entry in the /topic | 00:33 |
| LaQuirrELL | but apparently it is the same name as another drive i used to have plugged in if i plug it back in will i have a conflict? | 00:33 |

| AboSamoor | Hi, I used chartboot to investigate the long boot I have, and I found the boot process take 37 second, is it normal , what can I do ? | 00:33 |
| jrib | jasuus: still there? | 00:33 |
| blak | I need to know why it is skipping the AP i point the conf file to? | 00:33 |
| jasuus | jrib: yep | 00:33 |
| jrib | jasuus: and you have 'build-essential' installed? | 00:34 |
| jasuus | jrib: eys | 00:34 |
| jasuus | yes | 00:34 |
| jrib | jasuus: you are editing the package before building right? | 00:34 |
| bobertdos | LaQuirrELL: No, if you plug in another drive, the designations will adjust appropriately. It looks like the drive in question is probably ext3. | 00:34 |
| jasuus | im reading through the debian "rules" file that there...and finding the make where it crashes | 00:35 |
| jasuus | i put the actual makefile name after the call to make | 00:35 |
| jasuus | and it went through and then failed at the next call to make | 00:35 |
| jasuus | same reason | 00:35 |
| sanguisdex | any body know a good site to watch the debate that does not require real player or windows? | 00:36 |
| jasuus | so im putting the name of the makefile in that one too | 00:36 |
| jrib | jasuus: no, does the package build from a fresh 'apt-get source' without any modifications for you? | 00:36 |
| jasuus | no | 00:36 |
| jasuus | thats where im at now | 00:36 |
| jrib | jasuus: let me try to build it here | 00:37 |
| LaQuirrELL | bobertos so is that what i shud use to set up a storage drive? ext3 | 00:37 |
| bobertdos | sanguisdex: CNN may broadcast it, not sure. Of course, you probably won't have to wait for it very long to be on Youtube :p | 00:37 |

| AboSamoor | Hi, I used chartboot to investigate the long boot I have, and I found the boot process take 37 second, is it normal , what can I do ? | 00:40 |

| Happy | sys > admin > add user and group > the add user button is grey and unclickable, howto add a user? | 00:41 |

| patko | hi I've uninstalled a program I've compiled with 'make uninstall', if I type the name of the program in bash, instead of saying it doesn't know the command, it says that it doesn't find it where it has been installed | 00:42 |
| euxneks | Happy, click on the unlock button on the bottom right | 00:43 |
| patko | Where could I find a config file for removing the reference to this program? | 00:43 |
| euxneks | Happy, you'll need to enter your password and unlock for administration uses | 00:43 |
| jrib | patko: hash -r | 00:43 |
| Happy | ah that's it | 00:43 |
| patko | ok, lemme try | 00:43 |
| Happy | euxneks: is this new feature of 8.04 ? :D | 00:43 |
| euxneks | Happy, I believe it was added yeah :) | 00:44 |
| patko | jrib: thanks a lot | 00:44 |
| euxneks | Happy, there are abunch of other "administrative" programs that use that unlock button as well | 00:44 |
| euxneks | Happy, I think it's so you can look at the data without actually having to authenticate | 00:45 |

| euxneks | LaQuirrELL, ext3 is newer as well | 00:46 |

| robnyc | hey everyone.. i have a little problem lately with my new Lenovo Thinkpad R61.. when I put it to sleep on ubuntu, and then wake up later. I see its connected to the internet either on ethernet or wifi.. but it doesnt respond like if it was offline, i have to make it init 1 then init 5.. is there an issue related to this ? | 01:11 |
| histo | juro: 64bit uses more ram for cacheing then 32bit. | 01:11 |
| FAJ | !sleep | 01:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sleep | 01:11 |
| g00dfella | ok i have ssh installed, i ssh'ed into my other computer and now i want to rsnyc back to this one | 01:11 |
| FAJ | huh... | 01:11 |
| g00dfella | but is says connection refused, is there a firewall that I need to setup? | 01:11 |
| histo | FAJ: perhaps you have multiple / mounted? | 01:11 |
| histo | g00dfella: the one you are rsyncing back in to would need the ssh also | 01:12 |
| FAJ | histo: he is running off of the live cd when he does this, and so that is what shows up in gparte | 01:12 |
| mefisto__ | FAJ: you're confusing partitions with disk space inside those partitions | 01:12 |
| juro | FAJ, jrib, histo. looking at the system monitor, the biggest blocks are about 512mb for VMWare and 266 MB for firefox - other than that most of the others are way under 100MB .. | 01:12 |
| histo | g00dfella: also there is no reason to do what you are doing as you can rsync from the one you are on to the other. | 01:12 |
| jrib | juro: did you run the command I said? | 01:12 |
| ihab | I reinstalled windows lately and this is my problem http://pastebin.ca/1217433 | 01:13 |
| FAJ | mefisto__: but he is getting conflicting diskspaces right now... | 01:13 |
| ihab | I tried fdisk -l but it gives me nothing and when I try to reinstall ubuntu installer didn't see any of my partitions ! | 01:13 |
| FAJ | df -h and fdisk show different free space | 01:13 |
| histo | juro: that is one of the caveats of 64bit. If you look in the forums under the 64bit section that is explained in the sticky. | 01:13 |
| Cacodemon | i tried Ubuntu on my Dell laptop, but there's no sound, no 3d graphics, no modem or anything of the sort. | 01:13 |
| ihab | what can I do ? | 01:13 |
| mefisto__ | gparted and fdisk is telling you about space for new partitions | 01:13 |
| juro | yes, what does that tell me? | 01:13 |
| FAJ | ihab: sudo fidsk -l | 01:13 |
| mefisto__ | df tells you how much space is in the partitions | 01:13 |
| techsupport | did anyone run into this problem ? i installed samba and swat, for some reasons none of the links work inside swat | 01:13 |
| g00dfella | oh... let me try that... the reason i'm trying to do this in the first place is because every time I try to copy a specific file on this machine it hangs the ui except for the mouse, so I figured i'd try to send it through the other machine | 01:13 |
| histo | g00dfella: you could do that and you could also use scp | 01:14 |
| roukoun | http://paste.ubuntu.com/53331/ can anyone help with this? | 01:14 |
| FAJ | mefisto__: ok, so right now he has / with 36 gbs, and when he opens up gparted it says that it only has 6 gb's open give or take,,, but he has about 30 open b/c he never added anything new | 01:14 |
| histo | g00dfella: rsync is more for making a mirror on the remote system. Like syncing two directories ... | 01:14 |
| histo | g00dfella: scp is a way to copy files and there is also sftp | 01:14 |
| FAJ | mefisto__: pm? | 01:15 |
| juro | histo, on ubuntuforums.org? | 01:15 |
| histo | juro: yes there is a 64bit section with a sticky let me find link | 01:15 |
| robert__ | i booted the beta disc and it said 2 errors on the error check. should i still install? | 01:15 |
| jrib | robert__: no | 01:15 |
| Cacodemon | how do you install drivers for Ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| histo | juro: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765428 read the part about hte memory | 01:15 |
| jrib | Cacodemon: for what? | 01:16 |
| juro | histo, yes reading that already | 01:16 |
| g00dfella | ok thanks, i'll try scp | 01:16 |
| jrib | !who | juro | 01:16 |
| histo | juro: One disadvantage of 64-bit architectures is compared to 32-bit architectures the same data will occupy more space in memory (due to larger pointers and possibly other types and alignment adding). The increases in the memory requirements of a given process can have implications for efficient processor cache utilization. | 01:16 |
| ubottu | juro: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:16 |
| g00dfella | i think i've used that before | 01:16 |
| juro | histo, doesn't really help though | 01:16 |

| juro | jrib, can you read the 'histo' in front of my posts? | 01:17 |
| afallenhope | is libnet6-1.3-dev the same as libnet1-dev? I have libnet1-dev installed however I can't a file becase it says it's missing.., | 01:17 |
| techsupport | anyone ? | 01:17 |
| histo | juro: you've stated that most of your memory is being used. I'm explaining why that is. | 01:17 |
| brian_ | xomp | 01:17 |
| juro | histo, yes, I have read that - but surely the system monitor or top should show where the memory is being used (which it isn't) | 01:18 |
| afallenhope | libnet ipv6.. gotcha | 01:18 |
| roukoun | http://paste.ubuntu.com/53331/ | 01:18 |
| brian_ | xomp take compressed air and blow it out | 01:18 |
| jrib | juro: I've asked you a question twice, so I was making sure you weren't addressing the channel with one of your responses | 01:18 |
| histo | juro: Are you speaking of where the cached memory is being used? | 01:18 |
| afallenhope | ayone? | 01:18 |
| LaQuirrELL | mefisto euxneks why then when i installed ubuntu was it recommended that / partition shud be ext3 and /home shud be ext2 | 01:18 |
| comicinker | how can I add myself to the group netdev? sudo usermod --append --groups netdev comic ? | 01:18 |
| brian_ | xomp also usb unplug printer, take cartriges out, unplug from power, leave off for 30 secs, plug power back in while holding power button | 01:19 |

| william_ | So I've setup VNC so I can connect to my computer at work.. I ran in to a snag today though... I wanted to restart the system but could not connect to VNC cause a user wasn't logged in.. what could I do? SSH? | 01:19 |
| jrib | juro: then pastebin it and show us | 01:19 |
| histo | juro: linux uses memory quite different then windows. | 01:19 |
| deathtech | Hello all, i will be using SSH , and was wondering if anyone can recommend some good console apps, other than elinks, irssi, and GNU Screen | 01:19 |
| onx | brian__, xomp, taking cartridges out is a bad idea with some inkjet printers | 01:19 |
| histo | juro: if you type free -m you will see that is the case. cache memory can be freed when a program needs it. | 01:19 |
| juro | jrib: http://pastebin.com/d2bc50be2 | 01:20 |
| amenado | william_-> yes ssh in first, and use something else not a straight vnc | 01:20 |
| jrib | deathtech: vim and mutt | 01:20 |
| Gr33n3gg | deathtech: Use the Terminal. | 01:20 |
| xomp | I need help with my USB printer. lsusb is showing "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 03f0:3f11 Hewlett-Packard PSC-1315/PSC-1317" but when I try and print something it does nothing but bitch about no paper or low on ink when none of these things should be an issue as it's loaded with paper and has a new ink cartridge. Printer works fine in Windows, just an issue (as expected) with linux :S | 01:20 |
| steve_ | hi does ubuntu use both cpus in a dual core? | 01:20 |
| comicinker | thanks | 01:20 |
| jrib | juro: you have over 2600mb free after taking into account buffers/cache | 01:20 |
| xomp | onx, yeah I'm not removing anything lol, it works fine in Windows, should be the same for linux :( | 01:20 |
| william_ | amenado, I'm using whatever is built in to Ubuntu with a TightVNC viewer | 01:20 |
| onx | steve_, yes | 01:20 |
| deathtech | anyone aware of a good system resource monitoring app that is console based ? | 01:20 |
| steve_ | thanks onx | 01:20 |
| Zerothis | I'm trying to use a USB drive to install ubuntu on another computer with no CD drive. I used UNebootin, Ubuntu, 8.04_Live. I think I wrote to the previously blank drive correctly (it shows 21 files/folders including "syslinux.cfg") but the other computer does not find a bootable image on the USB drive (I disabled all boot options except USB, still doesn't find it). | 01:21 |
| histo | william_: yeah you would have to log in ssh but then I don't know how you would log in to x. | 01:21 |
| amenado | william_-> whatever is built in (which is none) is not enuff | 01:21 |
| histo | amenado: william_ means vino | 01:21 |
| jrib | juro: linux tries to be smart about using your memory. If it can use it it will. The idea being that it is doing you no good if you aren't using it. If another app needs the memory, it will free it up | 01:21 |
| onx | xomp, what's "bitching" then? | 01:21 |
| william_ | amenado, histo Well I used TightVNC to connect today so I'm not quite sure... always up for suggestions | 01:21 |
| amenado | histo-> you did not follow what he asked for, if no one is logged in, he wants to remote vnc | 01:22 |
| histo | deathtech: top | 01:22 |
| juro | jrib, ok - that makes sense. so how do I uninstall the system monitor? | 01:22 |
| xomp | onx, it's saying the printer is low on ink and/or out of paper when both are untrue. | 01:22 |
| jrib | juro: erm, why? | 01:22 |
| onx | xomp, where is "it" saying that? | 01:22 |
| xomp | onx, my print job stays in the queue as "Processing" and won't get past that | 01:22 |
| histo | amenado: I know I thought you were confused about what he meant when he said whatever is there by default which is vino | 01:22 |
| roukoun | http://paste.ubuntu.com/53331/ any help? | 01:22 |
| xomp | onx, I'm suspecting one would call it the icon on the taskbar in gnome? has a pop-up window. | 01:23 |
| histo | juro: you can remove it from your panel by right click on it if thats what you mean. | 01:23 |
| juro | jrib, forget it - it was a joke | 01:23 |
| jrib | juro: heh :) | 01:23 |
| amenado | william_-> google for x11vnc | 01:23 |

| jrib | juro: which features do you miss? (never used it) | 01:25 |
| histo | william_: or you can install tightvncserver on yoru work computer then you won't need to worry about a user being logged in. The remote user would have their own X | 01:25 |
| histo | william_: you can even connect to it via a java enabled browser with tightvnc-java installed on the same box. | 01:25 |

I have found that folder to install them into, but I keep getting an error "access denied" message when I try to do that. | 01:28 |
| juro | jrib, I am still trying to get used to Ubuntu (have used various Linux servers over the years) - not really that refined though | 01:28 |
| histo | favro: also used in links for stream connections | 01:28 |

| tonyyarusso | remote200: how would I capture properly for that though? | 01:28 |

| tonyyarusso | favro: right | 01:28 |
| datta | i can't record it but i can save it which doesnot have any sound | 01:28 |
| tonyyarusso | jrib: Ooh, that could do it. | 01:28 |
| datta | its plain blank | 01:28 |
| tonyyarusso | jrib: what's the default format for that? | 01:28 |
| histo | tonyyarusso: why not jsut use applications > sound and video > sound recorder | 01:29 |
| jrib | tonyyarusso: afaik it just dumps whatever data it is receiving | 01:29 |
| tonyyarusso | histo: That would work too, if I can figure out which one is the proper input to select. | 01:29 |
| histo | tonyyarusso: you probably want to record your play back | 01:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Ohp, time to jet. Thanks all. | 01:30 |
| histo | tonyyarusso: if thats the only audio playing. | 01:30 |

| danbh_intrepid | FAJ: you should probably fsck the partition, just do it in recovery mode | 02:04 |
| roukoun | ryan___: nautilus the default file manager for gnome... the file manager is an 'application' that lets you browse your filesystem using a gui(graphical user interface)... for example if you want to see what is in your /home directory you can use either the command ls [arguments] /home to view its contents from the terminal or using nautilus so the command will be 'nautilus /usr' | 02:04 |

| lliw00 | roukoun: "echo 50 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_level" thats the command i need o run | 02:20 |
| pac1 | now what would be really cool is a tool that did what gparted can do and serve as an editor for /etc/fstab at the same time... | 02:20 |

| ZeD_ | chamunks: did you change the password for your user ? recovery mode goes directly in to root | 02:50 |
| techsupport | pac1, will this perform quick format ? sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/hdd1 | 02:50 |
| chamunks | ZeD_, yeah but i su mainuser first before i ran passwd | 02:51 |
| person | loonysalmon, would i use sudo apt-get install frostwire? | 02:51 |
| ^paradox^ | RAC4006-PC is my wifes rentacenter pc which runs vista | 02:51 |
| techsupport | pac1, sorry ignore that | 02:51 |
| pac1 | no idea... | 02:51 |

| loonysalmon | Hi, I installed xubuntu from alternate install cd. Then i installed ati proprietary driver from their website.

| ZeD_ | techsupport: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sd,yourdisk> | 02:52 |
| ^paradox^ | it shows its the default printer | 02:52 |
| alteregoa | mv /dev/sda /dev/random | 02:52 |
| genii | chamunks: You can also boot to livecd, then mount the / partition of the install. Then edit the line in /etc/shadow that reads something like: mainuser:$1$vtG03wCfgobblygookeLQ51XFfN1:14111:0:99999:7::: into: user::14111:0:99999:7::: which entirely wipes the password out | 02:53 |
| ZeD_ | chamunks: got it. try this .. from recovery in root shell do : su mainuser and then try to passwd once you are in the users shell | 02:53 |
| alteregoa | or get qtparted | 02:53 |

| techsupport | carandraug, isnt Gparted for GUI ? i dont have gui | 03:40 |
| drake_ | soemthing wierd is happening here i keep getting "sudo: unable to resolve host hel" | 03:40 |
| carandraug | techsupport: also, I think it's mkfs -t ext3 /path_to_device | 03:41 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | I want to be able to stick with Hardy (as it is an LTS) and have the upgrades of Intrepid ... such as the new Banshee etc ... | 03:41 |
| powerjuce | does gparted support raid drives? | 03:41 |
| drake_ | any idea how to fix that? | 03:41 |
| Matir` | zetheroo-ubuntu, you could install some packages from the intrepid repositories by manually installing them, but that would be a highly unsupported configuration (mixing versions) | 03:41 |
| LaQuirrELL | carandraug: are you talking about the ubuntu help websites 6th paragraph? | 03:41 |
| techsupport | carandraug, ok, trying to unmont drive | 03:41 |
| techsupport | carandraug, with umount | 03:41 |
| ^paradox^ | ok this is weird it says its printing the test page, but its not | 03:41 |
| LaQuirrELL | or the terminal 6th paragraph | 03:41 |
| techsupport | carandraug, returns drive is busy | 03:41 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | Matir` : so in efect Hardy will be behind Intrepid ... even though its an LTS? | 03:41 |
| carandraug | LaQuirrELL: no. Run "man chmod" in a terminal | 03:42 |
| carandraug | techsupport: do a lazy umount | 03:42 |
| techsupport | carandraug, how ? | 03:42 |
| LaQuirrELL | ok | 03:42 |
| ^paradox^ | and the number for each test page always gets higher even after jobs have been purged and cancelled thru cups | 03:43 |

| sam_delta | Trev, you should be good by removing all the "green stuff" which is a secondary partition (i duno why they are there, they arent been used anyways), once you delete that, you will end up with "unallocated space" which whill be usable by the ubuntu installer | 04:23 |

| genii | Isn't 2F8 a serial port location? | 04:39 |

| carandraug | PorkSoda: download from here http://www.xubuntu.org/get | 04:48 |

| chamunks | Can someone give me some advice on this? | 05:15 |
| Yomic | If it ever comes to a point that I have to decide between Linux, Mac, or Windows Vista (I don't mind the others as much), I'll want to have knowledge of something that doesn't cost $100 and that I don't care to learn (vista) | 05:15 |

| jasuus | how do I find which file contains a <string> ? | 05:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | SpAc: Courier IMAP server does that, and the author won't change it (claims everything else is 'broken'). Dovecot works fine as you expect it to | 05:17 |
| chamunks | can someone give me some assistance with apache2 | 05:17 |
| SpAc | In thunderbird I can set the 'IMAP server directory' to fix the problem. Anything similar in Evolution? | 05:17 |
| linny | GodfatherofEire: try KZenExplorer it should be in synaptic | 05:17 |
| SpAc | IntuitiveNipple, i see! | 05:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | SpAc: I changed my server from Courier to Dovecot because of that, amongst other things | 05:17 |

| FuriousGeorge | hey all | 06:12 |
| telephone | can anyone recommend an app that can convert mov->mp4? | 06:12 |

| insta | are you just showing me that fdisk says the drive is alive? | 06:12 |
| mobodo | telephone: ffmpeg? | 06:12 |
| Doonz | and that its their | 06:12 |
| Doonz | there* | 06:12 |
| mobodo | telephone: though not any kind of mov | 06:12 |
| Doonz | should mdadm automatically try readding the drive? | 06:12 |
| PoisonArrow | vega_, Ok. I have used firestarter before. I just there might be other alternatives to iptables. | 06:12 |
| insta | mdadm will kick drives out for several reasons | 06:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | PoisonArrow: Hardy has 'ufw' (Ubuntu Fire Wall) built in | 06:12 |

| FuriousGeorge | http://pastebin.ca/1217653 | 06:13 |
| insta | (install smartmontools, run smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda) | 06:13 |
| PoisonArrow | IntuitiveNipple, Thats the command? | 06:13 |
| Doonz | ok and if its good? | 06:13 |
| FuriousGeorge | http://pastebin.ca/1217653 <--- thats the difference between dmesg on gentoo (works) and kubuntu (requires a reboot) when i plug in the adapter (p/2 -> usb) | 06:13 |
| vega_ | PoisonArrow: yes, "apt-cache search firewall" etc. | 06:13 |
| insta | if you have a preliminary good, then dig through the smartctl options and kick off an offline test | 06:13 |
| insta | if it passes the offline test then run: | 06:14 |
| IntuitiveNipple | PoisonArrow: That's the package | 06:14 |
| vega_ | PoisonArrow: can't recommend any as i don't use a graphical one.. | 06:14 |
| insta | mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sda | 06:14 |
| xiaopi | Does the Add/Remove... use apt-get or aptitude? | 06:14 |
| PoisonArrow | IntuitiveNipple, ok ya just enabled it, going to check out the man | 06:14 |
| genii | xiaopi: dpkg | 06:14 |
| phuzion | I have no sound, but did earlier, and tried restarting alsa-utils, anyone got any ideas on what might be wrong? I tried lsof | grep pcm as well and that didn't return anything | 06:14 |
| Doonz | thanx insta | 06:15 |
| SebNaitsabes | phuzion: yep sound issues like that are common | 06:15 |
| xiaopi | just fetch .deb and dpkg them ? | 06:15 |
| SebNaitsabes | with Hardy heron | 06:15 |
| Doonz | so theres no way to make mdadm automatically readd drives? | 06:15 |
| insta | Doonz: don't readd it until you're sure the drive is fine though | 06:15 |
| Doonz | insta its brand new | 06:15 |
| insta | no, you don't want it to do that | 06:15 |
| insta | so? | 06:15 |
| SebNaitsabes | phuizon: try this killall pulseaudio then try anything that makes sound | 06:15 |
| insta | brand new drives are some of the most likely ones to die | 06:15 |
| Doonz | i mean i took out the failed one | 06:15 |
| Doonz | and put that one in | 06:15 |
| SebNaitsabes | phuzion: killall pulseaudio | 06:16 |
| insta | ah | 06:16 |
| insta | ok | 06:16 |
| Doonz | i have another boc ill scan it on | 06:16 |
| genii | xiaopi: Synaptic is the usual one | 06:16 |
| Doonz | boc = box | 06:16 |
| insta | i thought the drive in there now was the failed one | 06:16 |
| Doonz | no | 06:16 |
| insta | if you've already replaced it, then just run the --add line | 06:16 |
| phuzion | Nope, that didn't do anything either, SebNaitsabes | 06:16 |

| ubottu | 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 | 06:16 |

| william_ | So I'm reading a tutorial on VNC and it's saying that tightvncserver isnt that great | 06:17 |

| === wilfrid is now known as wilfridC | ||
| william_ | Any ideas what I should use? | 06:17 |
| SebNaitsabes | william_: VNC is not secure unless you tunnel it over SSH | 06:17 |

| passive | I've screwed gnome when i deleted xorg.conf i can't get it back working | 06:18 |

| SebNaitsabes | passive: are you in Gnome now? | 06:18 |
| passive | no KDE4 | 06:18 |
| SebNaitsabes | !scp | 06:18 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 06:18 |
| RickZilla | Another sound question...I just have a Sound Blaster Live card, but I'm not getting any sound | 06:18 |
| william_ | Okay, should I even bother with TightVNCServer? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to configure it.. | 06:18 |
| SebNaitsabes | lirit: SCP | 06:18 |
| SebNaitsabes | that's one way to do it | 06:18 |
| passive | i can't login to Gnome it gives me a white page for any session | 06:19 |
| SebNaitsabes | !gnome | 06:19 |
| ubottu | gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. | 06:19 |
| SebNaitsabes | passive: hummmmmm so either gnome is buggered up or X is? | 06:19 |
| passive | I don't know really SebNiatsabes :S | 06:19 |
| PoisonArrow | Anyone know of any good software in the respitories on which to teach better typing schools? | 06:19 |
| SebNaitsabes | PoisionArrow: there are quite a few I can't just tell you the names, but you can search for typing software with Synaptic Package Manager | 06:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | passive: I guess deleting the hidden .gnome folders in your home folder should take care of it, but if you can't log in well you need to do it in the Ubuntu console or from Live CD | 06:21 |
| malek | xubuntu xfce 8.04.1 is good pc pentium 3, 128mo, 20go | 06:21 |

| insta | jamesish: i'm pretty sure it's harddrive-related actually, because my system is running on a compact flashcard that's in PIO mode. however, it happens while streaming a movie over my network ... so ... | 06:24 |

| passive | 2 folders .gnome, .gnome2_private which one ? | 06:24 |
| jamesish | insta: you said it was i/o related. Is it that or your network, then? What made you think i/o? Just a guess? guesses are okay, I'm just trying to make sure I understand. | 06:24 |

| shadypixie3 | :-* | 06:26 |

| shadypixie3 | rofl | 06:28 |
| insta | actually, in my terminal right now, 3 of my 4 tabs are manpages | 06:28 |
| jamesish | insta: okay, you can either benchmark your network or your latency. BUt here's a freebie: if you have solid state storage, and you're streaming a movie over the network, it's almost certainly network. | 06:28 |
| passive | SebNaitsabes: Many Thanks ( I'll BE BACK the terminator :P) | 06:28 |
| insta | generally, you'd think so, but solid state != fast in this case :( | 06:28 |

| gnuskool | [Slug]: yeah, you learn the how and why, instead of just clicking stuff | 06:45 |
| SuperQ | AussieGuy: rsync tends to be a bad way to "clone" live filesystems | 06:45 |

| [Slug] | and believe it or not im running a nslu2 hacked with unslung hehe! | 06:46 |
| SuperQ | AussieGuy: Ahh, so it might be a bit more trouble, but I would simply duplicate the package listings and then rsync config files | 06:46 |
| AussieGuy | ive got the kvm stuff all worked out already | 06:46 |
| SuperQ | AussieGuy: You can use "dpkg --get-selections" to get a package list out of the "from" server | 06:47 |
| AussieGuy | superq: the local server doesnt have to be running, cos its a virtual machine | 06:47 |
| jamesish | AussieGuy: It's doable. If you have space, loook into doing a dd of you current drive to an isio | 06:47 |

| AussieGuy | they said do a one time install of a secondary os (ubuntu server) then ssh into it, and rsync over my changes | 06:49 |
| badfish | how do i change my default dvd player to ogle? | 06:49 |
| SuperQ | Doonz: Not a fair comparison | 06:49 |
| jamesish | Doonz: can't imagine so, as it doesn't hav eprivileged access to the L2 cache. THough most quad cores increase the amount of L2 cache to compensate, now I think about it. | 06:49 |
| SuperQ | Doonz: since the core in the celeron has a lot of other changes besides being "just one core" | 06:50 |
| Doonz | yeah not sure why i didnt think about it | 06:50 |
| Doonz | :/ | 06:50 |
| SuperQ | AussieGuy: Yea, I don't know enough about the setup to give you specifics | 06:51 |
| SuperQ | AussieGuy: rsync is fairly easy, the man page is good | 06:51 |
| SuperQ | AussieGuy: if you give it a destination like user@host:/path/to/dir/ it will automatically try ssh | 06:52 |

| thesaint4444 | airtonix: ok, thanks, will give it a go.... | 08:25 |
| airtonix | Daft_Punk, easiest way i can think of is to make a wallpaper that is the size of one of your workspaces x how many you have | 08:25 |
| mib_ej6jow | home/.wine (?) | 08:25 |
| sia-eXtreme | wers: can't you choose download place when you want to start a download ? | 08:26 |
| airtonix | Daft_Punk, ie : one workspace is 1024x768, therefore wallpaper would be (1024x4)wide, 768 high | 08:26 |
| Daft_Punk | airtonix, http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=4279 | 08:26 |
| sia-eXtreme | wers: why you don't use deluge on ubuntu ? | 08:26 |
| wers | sia-eXtreme, i can but i didnt manage to choose when i downloaded | 08:26 |
| Daft_Punk | airtonix, according to that link, you can do it but i cant find the plugins | 08:26 |
| ComradeHaz | uh, how comes thesaint isn't in teh user list and won't 'bash complete'?! | 08:26 |
| airtonix | wers, use transmission... | 08:26 |
| wers | sia-eXtreme, yeah. i just want to access the files i jst downloaded | 08:26 |
| gbear14275 | does it create a security vulnerability to give full permissions to "others" on a seperate partition? | 08:27 |
| wers | airtonix, i use that. i just want to access the files i downloaded using utorrent under wine | 08:27 |
| gbear14275 | could they install something on that permissions that would give them access to the kernel, etc? | 08:27 |
| gbear14275 | partition* | 08:27 |
| airtonix | wers, download lastest transmission from their website..i just peformed the operation your talking about | 08:27 |
| mib_ej6jow | i have Quad Q6600 .. do i have x86 or x86_64? | 08:27 |

| airtonix | wers, you have to first specify a folder in the transmission config for where downloads are stored, then you load up transmissionm, then you move the current data for a torrent to that download folder and then..you load the .torrent file and press go/save/download | 08:29 |
| jim_p | zeeeee: festival? | 08:29 |

| zeeeee | jim_p, isn't festival just a backend? | 08:30 |
| zeeeee | jim_p, how exactly do i get festival to monitor clipboard contents? | 08:31 |
| zeeeee | jim_p, (i do already have it installed) | 08:31 |
| wers | airtonix, that's what i always use. i'm just trying to play with utorrent in such a way that i would be able to use it in both my windows and ubuntu partition with the same config files | 08:31 |
| airtonix | wers, and i am telling you that regardless of your torrent client..the currently downloaded data for a torrent is able to be read and continued by any torrent app | 08:31 |
| wers | airtonix, oh. that's good. thanks | 08:31 |
| airtonix | wers, and transmission is also available for windows afaik | 08:31 |
| chameleon | who know what command i need to viem my current ipaddress allocation | 08:32 |
| jim_p | zeeeee: i noticed you said clipboard after my post, sorry. enyway, you can find a frontend to it | 08:32 |
| wers | airtonix, dont worry. i'm using utorrent on windows. hehe | 08:32 |
| wers | airtonix, its just good to know that i can continue downloading on ubuntu with another client like transmission | 08:32 |
| chameleon | who know what command i need to viem my current ipaddress allocation | 08:32 |
| zeeeee | jim_p, that's what my whole question was about. i have been searching for 30 min but have not found a frontend for ubuntu (gnome) | 08:32 |
| Daft_Punk | where can i download aquarium for compiz fusion? | 08:32 |
| airtonix | wers, all good, just so you know...transmission is compatiable with utorrent dht and pex data also....which only applies while downloads are in affect | 08:33 |
| jim_p | chameleon: ipconfig ?? | 08:33 |
| airtonix | wers, rTorrent will also do this....but my reason for using rTorrent is for the cli, which transmission also has... including a webinterface | 08:34 |
| wers | nice. i'll continue downloading with transmission when i go back to my ubuntu partition | 08:34 |
| chameleon | keeps on giving me command not found | 08:34 |
| airtonix | wers, but like i said, any torrent app worth its salt will continue since its a has check based on the .torrent file | 08:34 |
| wers | ok. thanks airtonix | 08:35 |

| espacious | jim_p yes it is, i meaned paste to pastebin:D | 08:54 |
| airtonix | espacious, there is a nice gnome-applet for using pastebin...its called webboard should be in your 'add applet to panel menu' | 08:55 |
| klarer | pepe49 | 08:55 |
| espacious | airtonix thanks but im on win now | 08:55 |
| jim_p | espacious: it seems that ndiswrapper is the only way. can you tell if its ndiswrappers fault or the drivers? | 08:56 |
| [Solars] | is it possible to change the load splash image of unbuntu (right after grub done its thing) with a animated gif? | 08:56 |
| C0p3rn1c | is there by any chance a ubuntu forum moderator here? | 08:56 |
| SOGisherehaha | Does Ubuntu gives EVERY drive a UUID? because I found out once I format them with another OS, my Xubuntu can no longer see my drive | 08:56 |
| espacious | jim_p i can tell for 100% sure is kernel or ndiswrapper as i had this working for an year or more | 08:56 |
| askvictor | airtonix: would rather just get list of packages so I can re-install (am fearful of things on the fs being corrupted, hence reinstall) | 08:57 |
| espacious | jim_p a older release of ubuntu | 08:57 |
| === SOGisherehaha is now known as IamSOG | ||
| [Solars] | SOGisherehaha all devices have a UUID number associated | 08:57 |
| espacious | jim_p it happened upon reinstall | 08:57 |
| IamSOG | Oh.. I see thanks [Solars]... | 08:57 |
| [Solars] | !UUID >> IamSOG | 08:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about uuid > | 08:57 |
| [Solars] | bah | 08:57 |
| C0p3rn1c | n/m | 08:57 |
| IamSOG | guess I shouldn't have format it then :o | 08:57 |
| [Solars] | you can find the new uuid | 08:58 |
| airtonix | askvictor, dpkg --get-selections do the job? | 08:58 |
| [Solars] | sudo blkid | 08:58 |
| jim_p | espacious: you are on ubuntu 6.06? | 08:58 |
| IamSOG | thanks [Solars] um... but UUID is given by Ubuntu right ? | 08:58 |
| [Solars] | yea | 08:58 |
| C0p3rn1c | yay mysql-workbench-alfa for linux has bin released! | 08:58 |
| airtonix | IamSOG, btw there is a tool here : /usr/bin/uuidd | 08:59 |
| espacious | jim_p now i tryed latest gos before i tryed latest daly ubuntu. | 08:59 |
| IamSOG | Oh, thanks, l am looking at it now | 08:59 |
| espacious | jim_p no luck, i think before reinstall i had 7.10 | 08:59 |
| askvictor | airtonix: I can't run that as the system won't boot - all I can do is access the (partially corrupted) filesystem | 08:59 |
| IamSOG | Thanks airtonix and [Solars] I am looking at the UUID now, thanks. | 09:00 |
| jim_p | espacious: i have heard thet ndiswrapper fails sometimes and the solution to this is to compile it from source and install | 09:00 |
| airtonix | askvictor, then can you : ls /var/cache/apt/archives | 09:00 |
| airtonix | IamSOG, do a search with google for : ubuntu uuidd | 09:00 |
| airtonix | IamSOG, throw in ubuntuforums as a keyword also | 09:01 |
| espacious | jim_p did this i get the 1.53 from sf.net did make and make install | 09:01 |
| askvictor | airtonix: not all there; has been cleaned up I think | 09:01 |
| hosstest | what app can uncompress .7z archives? | 09:01 |
| espacious | jim_p same thing. | 09:01 |
| airtonix | askvictor, factor in a back up script next time round or have a look at apt-on-cd | 09:01 |
| airtonix | hosstest, $ apt-cache search 7zip | 09:02 |
| hosstest | thanks | 09:02 |

| hosstest | you guys rock!, Jim_p, you da man! Later guys. | 09:03 |
| espacious | jim_p thanks, if u get sth on mind PM me. | 09:03 |
| pyrohotdog | My usb drive mounts on my laptop. but not on my desktop....and they're identical systems! | 09:04 |
| jim_p | espacious: ok | 09:04 |
| johntramp | hey can anyone recommend a command line rss aggregator? | 09:05 |
| espacious | jim_p thanks again. | 09:05 |
| jim_p | pyrohotdog: what usb? flash drive? | 09:05 |
| Curious-Tux | hi, how could i install 3ds max in ubuntu with wine? | 09:05 |
| xiaopi | Curious-Tux, forget about it :) | 09:05 |
| Curious-Tux | xiaopi: why? | 09:06 |
| xiaopi | IF you're serious about using 3ds, dual boot your comp | 09:06 |
| jim_p | Curious-Tux: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=343 after all these critics here, i would not even bother burning to disk | 09:06 |
| Curious-Tux | xiaopi: i'm using 3ds max for 7 years and it's very bad if i can't havi it! | 09:06 |
| Curious-Tux | ow! | 09:06 |
| xiaopi | Keep on using windows then | 09:07 |
| jim_p | Curious-Tux: dual boot then. virtualization lacks 3d acceleration | 09:07 |
| Curious-Tux | xiaopi: nope | 09:07 |
| pyrohotdog | It's an external usb drive. | 09:07 |
| C0p3rn1c | Curious-Tux: don't know about 3ds but I recommend you to install wine-doors , it's a tool that makes it very easy to install wine apps | 09:08 |
| xiaopi | And 3ds is mainly developed for windows, so chances to see a port aren't around the corner | 09:08 |
| jim_p | pyrohotdog: is it listed in lsusb? | 09:08 |
| xiaopi | Maya is cross platform though | 09:08 |
| Curious-Tux | xiaopi: really | 09:08 |
| Curious-Tux | ? | 09:08 |
| pyrohotdog | jim_p: negative. | 09:08 |
| xiaopi | Yeah that's the closest thing you'll have | 09:08 |
| jim_p | Curious-Tux: i use premiere and photoshop for my job, thats why i need dual boot | 09:08 |
| jim_p | Curious-Tux: sometimes its the only way | 09:09 |
| C0p3rn1c | jim_p, photoshop runs fine with wine | 09:09 |
| xiaopi | cs3 had some issues, but cs2 always worked fine | 09:09 |
| Curious-Tux | Curious-Tux: yeah.. where could i find about dual boot? | 09:09 |
| xiaopi | (exept some plugins that jus crashed :) | 09:09 |
| jim_p | C0p3rn1c: i prefer native running. faster, more fluid | 09:09 |
| xiaopi | Dual boot is when you install linux and windows at the same taime | 09:10 |
| C0p3rn1c | it's all very easy to install with wine-doors | 09:10 |
| jim_p | pyrohotdog: is it listed as a drive in fdisk -l ? | 09:10 |
| Curious-Tux | xiaopi: mmm... | 09:10 |
| Tzahi | hello | 09:10 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, have you not used blender? | 09:10 |
| jim_p | hello | 09:10 |
| pyrohotdog | jim_p: Nope. | 09:10 |
| Curious-Tux | airtonix: yes i have | 09:10 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, blenders bone system pwns 3ds | 09:11 |
| Curious-Tux | airtonix: but it's more difficult! | 09:11 |
| Tzahi | I have a question | 09:11 |
| C0p3rn1c | jim_p, it runs pretty fluid here | 09:11 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, you can always return to windows :) | 09:11 |
| passive | I've managed deleting and installing Gnome and it still doesn't work!!! | 09:11 |
| Curious-Tux | airtonix: oh don't say it... i hate windows and love ubuntu :d | 09:11 |
| Daft_Punk | airtonix, found solution. run script at this forum 4th post down (compizplugins4.sh) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820802&highlight=compiz+plugins&page=4 | 09:11 |
| jim_p | pyrohotdog: plug it out and plug it back in. what does " dmesg | tail " say at that time? (you run it AFTER you plug it) | 09:12 |
| Tzahi | my wireless card changed it's name from wlan0 to eth1 is it a problem? | 09:12 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, then i suggest you learn to use blender...many a pro move maker have done so | 09:12 |
| jim_p | passive: then its the fglrx fault | 09:12 |
| xiaopi | Well use windows and run ubuntu in a full screen virtual machine | 09:12 |
| xiaopi | If you computer is powerfull enough (chances are if you run 3ds) | 09:12 |
| passive | jim_p: there's no fglrx phrase in the xorg.conf | 09:12 |
| Daft_Punk | Curious-Tux, install windows using virtualbox OSE (a virtual machine) works great for running windows only apps :) (i use it for photoshop) | 09:12 |
| Curious-Tux | airtonix: i am programmer... my friend want 3ds max... ok.. he can use maya too ;) | 09:12 |
| jim_p | passive: can you post it somewhere? | 09:12 |
| passive | like where? | 09:13 |
| Curious-Tux | Daft_Punk: really? how? | 09:13 |
| jim_p | pastebin | 09:13 |
| xiaopi | Daft_Punk, virtualbox doesn't support 3d accelerated softwares :) | 09:13 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, look at the orange project : http://orange.blender.org/background | 09:13 |
| passive | Okay | 09:13 |
| euw3648 | Daft_Punk: you would have no 3d in virtualbox, so no 3ds | 09:13 |
| * Daft_Punk cries | 09:13 | |
| pyrohotdog | jim_p: Device offlined - not read after errorr recovery | 09:13 |
| xiaopi | And SUN clearly isn't focusing on 3d now : | 09:13 |
| jim_p | Daft_Punk: virtualbox is good for apps that dont NEED 3d. there is no 3d accel in vbox | 09:13 |
| C0p3rn1c | windows runs great using vmware, it seems faster than running faster as my old native install :) | 09:13 |
| airtonix | euw3648, doesnt vmware have 3d accel? | 09:13 |
| euw3648 | airtonix: no | 09:13 |
| C0p3rn1c | maybe it's because I have a 64 bit system | 09:14 |
| xiaopi | airtonix, does but too slow to run 3ds in a VM | 09:14 |
| passive | jim_p: this the xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d7fc15562 | 09:14 |
| jim_p | i think that no virtualization product has 3dacceleration... yet | 09:14 |
| Curious-Tux | airtonix: yeah.. i've seen | 09:14 |
| euw3648 | xiaopi: vmware does 3d accel? since when? | 09:14 |
| airtonix | C0p3rn1c, and thats as far as you will get .... anything that requires 3d will slow down...since there is no direct access to the 3d card | 09:14 |
| anakln | Hello all, i am trying to play counterstrike, problem is, i need the '-steamlocal -cstrike' option added to the commandline in wine. how do i get this done? | 09:14 |
| xiaopi | 1 or 2 year (you just had to manually edit the config file of the vm) | 09:14 |
| jim_p | 3d acceleration is in the future plans of every virtualization maker | 09:14 |
| xiaopi | with last workstation 6.5, it supports up to dx9 and shaders2 | 09:15 |
| C0p3rn1c | no vmware doesnt have 3d acceleration atm | 09:15 |
| euw3648 | jim_p: but none of them managed to do it | 09:15 |
| xiaopi | yes it does.. | 09:15 |
| airtonix | !who | 09:15 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 09:15 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, http://www.theorangeproject.net/ | 09:15 |
| C0p3rn1c | xiaopi: nice , I did not know tat | 09:15 |
| C0p3rn1c | yeah I was using vmware-player | 09:15 |
| xiaopi | vmware-player alone does too from last year option just isn't in the GUI :) | 09:16 |
| passive | jim_p, and this is the old backup http://pastebin.com/d2dad25c5 | 09:16 |
| euw3648 | jim_p: and if virtualization is also used for security reasons, direct hardware access (which is needed for 3d accel) is a very bad thing | 09:16 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, woops...wrong site | 09:16 |
| jim_p | euw3648: we may see it in the near future. when i started linux, compiz was like "look what we managed to do :O" and now everyone has it | 09:16 |
| Curious-Tux | airtonix: yeap :d | 09:16 |
| jim_p | passive: do you have fglrx installed? | 09:16 |
| passive | i deleted it | 09:17 |
| C0p3rn1c | xiaopi: are you also running a 64 bit system? | 09:17 |
| xiaopi | we won't have correct gpu virtualisation until GPU manufacturer dev a chip for it (like vt-x) | 09:17 |
| jim_p | passive: Then add under the device section this line | 09:17 |
| xiaopi | Yes i do | 09:17 |
| jim_p | passive: Driver"vesa" | 09:17 |
| Curious-Tux | how could i update OpenGL? | 09:18 |
| jxander | does gnome-volume-manager have a configuration gui? | 09:18 |
| jim_p | Curious-Tux: for what reason? update gpu drivers? | 09:18 |
| xiaopi | But using Windows and running a few app and using 3ds which is a memory eater monster and use heavy 3d rendering | 09:18 |
| Curious-Tux | jim_p: yeah | 09:18 |
| qweqwe | Hello. How do I replace kdm with gdm? | 09:18 |
| C0p3rn1c | xiaopi: my windows xp pro seems to run faster using vmware, am I seeing things or ? :) | 09:18 |
| jim_p | jxander: i think not, its all in gconf-editor :( | 09:18 |
| xiaopi | C0p3rn1c, try running a direct3d application then :) | 09:18 |
| euw3648 | 3ds, blender, blah... i only use povray :) | 09:18 |
| passive | jim_p : in the Device section or after it ? | 09:19 |
| jim_p | qweqwe: install it and a prompt will come up to select | 09:19 |
| Curious-Tux | ? | 09:19 |
| ogzy | is there a way to change my eth cards ONBOOT=yes to no? | 09:19 |
| Curious-Tux | how to update OpenGL? | 09:19 |
| xiaopi | povray is Sweet/Slow =D | 09:19 |
| C0p3rn1c | xiaopi: I don't need 3d, I'm a web programmer and I don't play or design games | 09:19 |
| jim_p | passive: under this line Identifier "Configured Video Device" | 09:19 |
| airtonix | jxander, does the drives and media gui do it for you? found in the system -> preferences menu | 09:19 |
| jim_p | Curious-Tux: you need to install drivers for your vga ! | 09:20 |
| passive | jim_p: okay then restart xserver ? | 09:20 |
| jim_p | Curious-Tux: from ati or nvidia | 09:20 |
| jim_p | passive: yes | 09:20 |
| Curious-Tux | jim_p: NVIDIA | 09:20 |
| jxander | jim_p: thanks... is there a way to set gnome-volume-manager to mount at boot and leave a certain ntfs partition mounted for like ever? :) | 09:20 |
| passive | jim_p, ok thanks | 09:20 |
| xiaopi | C0p3rn1c, so it's totaly different from this kind of software | 09:20 |

| Curious-Tux | how could i install maya? with wine or? | 09:22 |
| jim_p | Curious-Tux: you need to install nvidia drivers (dependong on what card you have there are 2 sets of drivers) and make a minor change in xorg.conf | 09:22 |
| Curious-Tux | ok | 09:22 |
| jxander | back to fstab then... lazyness not ubuntu compatible :( | 09:22 |

| airtonix | Curious-Tux, with the maya installer | 09:23 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: if you don't want an interface set up at boot time, edit /etc/network/interfaces and comment out lines like "auto eth1" | 09:23 |
| ogzy | euw3648, i am asking how can i do such a thing at ubuntu | 09:23 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, most programs wont know your not using windows | 09:23 |
| Curious-Tux | airtonix: u mean it is crossplatdorm? | 09:23 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: the interface config in debian and ubuntu is /etc/network/interfaces | 09:23 |

| passive | jim_p: you are my hero | 09:23 |
| C0p3rn1c | chameleon: you can also use samba | 09:24 |
| airtonix | ogzy, this is how you do it in ubuntu ergo debian | 09:24 |
| chameleon | yeah i know i would rather use the ftp | 09:24 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, i mean that ... when you run the maya-installer-of-pawnage.exe its most likley going to install | 09:24 |
| ogzy | euw3648, ok will try it now | 09:24 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: and read the manpage (man interfaces) | 09:25 |
| passive | well now the screen resolution totally missed up | 09:25 |
| jim_p | passive: did it work? you dont have 3d acceleration now though | 09:25 |
| chameleon | how do i get to the package installer from the command line | 09:25 |
| C0p3rn1c | chameleon: isnt there documentation on ubuntu server explaining this? if not just install a popular ftp server | 09:25 |
| passive | no and i wasn't trying to enable it till today | 09:25 |
| airtonix | Curious-Tux, every single windows app i have installed with its own installer has : installed, created a desktop icon and works | 09:25 |

| Lofde_ | anyone know on the ubuntu forums how i can view who gave me thanks and on what forums ? | 09:26 |
| airtonix | Lofde_, rephrase your question it seems incomplete | 09:26 |
| poing_ | airtonix, via a command, not by mouse, and it should not just be pasted there. | 09:26 |
| Lofde_ | airtonix, on the forums when someone gives you thanks, can you see who it was and on what post | 09:27 |

| ubottu | ogzy: 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) | 09:30 |
| passive | jim_p: wow it'll take ages for me to know all these options :s | 09:31 |
| ogzy | euw3648, there is no eth entry just lo information pasting doesnt change | 09:31 |
| airtonix | passive, but once you do youll see that its not as hard as you once thought it was | 09:31 |
| passive | airtonix, will i'll do it one a time | 09:32 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: so the file consists only of one line? | 09:32 |
| jim_p | passive: its the same in 90% of it | 09:32 |
| ogzy | euw3648, ok pasting | 09:32 |
| jim_p | passive: most of the options under fglrx are just tweaks | 09:32 |
| ogzy | euw3648, http://paste.ubuntu.com/53395/ | 09:33 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: you pasted nothing | 09:33 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: sorry | 09:33 |
| passive | Hmm okay i'll get to it but first i should use subsection display to set the resolution right ? | 09:33 |
| jim_p | passive yea | 09:33 |
| ogzy | euw3648, as i said there is nothing related with eth | 09:33 |
| jim_p | passive: note that mine has to do with a tft monitor | 09:34 |
| passive | and restarting x again right ? | 09:34 |
| jim_p | yea | 09:34 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: then the eth* interfaces are set up by network manager | 09:34 |
| passive | i'll set it to 1024*768 | 09:34 |
| ogzy | euw3648, and normally there isnt any entry for other interfaces at the interfaces file, network manager automaticaly handles them | 09:34 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: if you don't want that, you have to remote the network manager package | 09:34 |
| airtonix | ogzy, not always true... | 09:34 |
| euw3648 | network manager stinks | 09:35 |
| === BoterhamMetKaas is now known as Europa | ||

| ogzy | euw3648, lets first identify the problem, i removed the parameterf quiet and splash from the grub and after pressing enter it freezes after sayin r8169 is loaded and eth0 information line | 09:36 |
| ogzy | euw3648, it sometimes happens indeed | 09:36 |
| ogzy | euw3648, while plaing with acpi anc pci options it sometimes passes it and i got my desktop | 09:36 |
| airtonix | euw3648, ogzy in my experience, the problems i had with network-manager were to do with my own lack of understanding on how things were behaving...and my own pervasive interference and lack of patience | 09:36 |

| euw3648 | airtonix: i prefer to handle interfaces with /etc/network/interfaces only | 09:37 |
| euw3648 | airtonix: network-manager is too much automatism | 09:37 |
| airtonix | euw3648, which is why network manager hates you | 09:37 |

| sullyva86 | Anybody know a simple way to enable ICS in ubuntu? It's easy in windows but I don't know what to do in ubuntu. | 09:46 |
| airtonix | pfo, in your opinion | 09:46 |
| ogzy | airtonix, i need a way ti disable it from kernel parameters if possible | 09:46 |
| airtonix | !firestarter | sullyva86 | 09:46 |
| ubottu | sullyva86: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 09:46 |
| pfo | airtonix: no, there's nothing relevant to my problem there. | 09:47 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: maybe it is a 64bit only issue. already tried the 32bit version? | 09:47 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, it also has a internet connection sharing section in it | 09:47 |
| ogzy | euw3648, 32 bit is working | 09:47 |
| pfo | airtonix: not even remotely. | 09:47 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Can i just use it without enabling the firewall then? | 09:47 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: then use that. 64bit gets you nothing on the desktop except you have 4GB+ ram and very big file | 09:47 |
| euw3648 | +s | 09:48 |
| airtonix | pfo, make a post on the forums describing your situation and provide pastes from : lspci -vvv | 09:48 |
| pfo | airtonix: did you read what i said? | 09:48 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: I don't think i have the ubuntu ucf enabled | 09:48 |
| ogzy | euw3648, i need ti solve this problem :) | 09:48 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, ucf? | 09:48 |
| pfo | airtonix: i don't have any problem with general sound output. | 09:48 |
| pfo | airtonix: damnit. | 09:48 |
| euw3648 | ogzy: why does it have to be 64bit? | 09:48 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: The uncomplicated firewall or whatever they call it thats included with ubuntu | 09:48 |
| pfo | airtonix: it's something ac3/liba52 specific. | 09:48 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, get rid of it ...firestarter is better | 09:49 |
| pfo | airtonix: i removed all rc files for kaffeine/mplayer/libxine1. | 09:49 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, firestarter and ufw, are just frontend guis to the underlying firewall that is already insatlled....which is called iptables | 09:49 |
| chameleon | i installed vfstpd and i cant work out where the config file is for it i can actually log into it from my windows ftp client, filezilla but its preveneting me from transferring any files and i think is the case as i can only login as anonymous | 09:49 |
| airtonix | pfo, sorry cant help you im afraid | 09:50 |
| pfo | airtonix: np, thx anyway. | 09:50 |
| airtonix | chameleon, tried using the locate command to search for the conf files? | 09:50 |
| Ademan | is there any way to get mplayer to play files mounted using gvfs ssh ? | 09:50 |
| airtonix | chameleon, $ locate vsftp | grep conf | 09:51 |
| chameleon | cheers airtronix | 09:51 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Do i need to remove ufw before installing firestarter? | 09:51 |
| euw3648 | airtonix: why not simply list the files of the package? dpkg -L vsftp | 09:51 |
| airtonix | chameleon, another way might be to read the man pages for the program, they usually list the conf files paths | 09:51 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, dont think so, just stop it but you can if you want | 09:52 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, ufw is mainly for use on ubuntu machines without a screen | 09:52 |
| chameleon | yeah airtronix, i cant work ou two things where the vfstpd folder is after the install and how to view the man pages and how to edit teh conf files | 09:53 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: I actually have gufw a graphical frontend installed for ufw but never turned it on cuz i didn't think i needed it. | 09:53 |
| chameleon | im sorry im asking so many questions im trying to get this done in a hurry usually iwould just sit and read | 09:54 |
| airtonix | chameleon, euw3648 has suggested that you use the dpkg command to list the files : dpkg -L vsftp | 09:54 |
| amorphous_ | does anyone else have issues with printers stopping working using hplip | 09:54 |
| amorphous_ | ? | 09:54 |
| euw3648 | chameleon: dpkg -L vsftpd | 09:54 |
| Lofde_ | I love leaving my footprint on the web :) Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092515 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.1 | 09:54 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, imo gufw is a poor replacement for firestarter...only the cli portion is worth holding onto if you run a server and dont want to enable x-forwarding | 09:55 |
| euw3648 | Lofde_: this is not the web | 09:56 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: So is there a way to just use the ICS without leaving the firewall on? I'd hate to have to open ports on a firewall and a router. | 09:56 |
| chameleon | euw3648: dpkj command doesnt work saying command not found | 09:56 |
| euw3648 | chameleon: dpkg, not dpkj | 09:57 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, you dont have to open ports by using firestarters ics | 09:57 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, unless the machine making use of your ics requires ports to be forwarded | 09:57 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: I know. I mean now that i installed this firestarter am i going to have to configure it so it doesnt block bittorent and other apps etc. | 09:57 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Since before i was running zero software firewall. | 09:58 |
| Lofde_ | thanks euw3648 ;) | 09:58 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, set your torrent ap to use a dedicated port and open that port | 09:58 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, then set your router to forward that port... | 09:58 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, you always had a firewall running....firestarter is not a firewall..only a config app | 09:58 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: No everything is already working i'm just asking if installing firestarter is going to block all that. Yeah but i had it turned off. | 09:59 |
| chameleon | euw3648: dpkg command saying not installed, which is funny i just did an aptget and it downloaded and installed some dependencies i have logged in with filezilla | 09:59 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, i can only suggest that you experiment and find out | 09:59 |
| euw3648 | chameleon: dpkg -L vsftpd says it is not installed? | 10:00 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Oh ok thats | 10:00 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: thanks* | 10:00 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, but from memory... if your using upnp then i dont think you do need to worry about opening ports. | 10:00 |
| upnPAD | hey all, does anyone know the font used in http://www.ubuntu.com/files/u3/helpmenu.png I've never used ubuntu, it's just that the font is really easy on my eyes | 10:01 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Yeah im sure about that im just wondering about other services etc. I'll just try to remember its on now and if stuff doesn't work to configure it lol. | 10:01 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, but you will get better transfer peformance by using a dedicated port | 10:01 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, have a read of this forum post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 | 10:02 |
| kongove | Is there anybody like Python? | 10:03 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Nope | 10:03 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, nope what? no you didnt read the post or no you wont get better peformance when specifying a port to use? | 10:04 |
| {g} | Hey People! Is it safe to assume, that a user without root privilieges cannot restore a deleted file, even if he was the owner of the file? | 10:04 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Post looks interesting i'm glancing over it. I think i already use a dedicated port cuz UPNP wasn't working for me or something. | 10:04 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, imo upnp is also a security risk | 10:05 |
| euw3648 | airtonix: ACK | 10:05 |
| rebel_kid | what is the package for pureftp, sudo apt-get install pureftp doesnt work | 10:05 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: So is leaving ports open | 10:05 |
| airtonix | rebel_kid, apt-cache search ftp | grep pure | 10:05 |
| IntuitiveNipple | rebel_kid: pureftpd ? | 10:05 |
| euw3648 | rebel_kid: apt-cache search pureftp | 10:06 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, which is beside the point since upnp opens ports that you dont know about | 10:06 |
| euw3648 | rebel_kid: the package name is pure-ftpd | 10:06 |
| kongove | "apt-cache search" can help us find the right name of the software. | 10:06 |
| rebel_kid | euw3648, u said it just as i found it :) | 10:07 |
| rebel_kid | thanks all | 10:07 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, so when monitoring traffice with something like jnettop or etheral...how would you know that port 58333 is for torrents when just yesterday maybe it was 32222 | 10:07 |
| * euw3648 wonders why so many people use stupid protocols like ftp | 10:07 | |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Oh yeah it just opens ports whenever? I'm no expert I just know its more convenient. | 10:07 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: If you set your client to stay on one port and not to randomize right? | 10:07 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, mhmm and what did we learn from windows, safe-sex & fast food about convienence? | 10:07 |
| airtonix | sullyva86, jokes | 10:08 |
| sullyva86 | airtonix: Some of that safe-sex stuff is overblown too haha | 10:08 |

| shyam_k | i was surprised to see ubuntu working on an ntfs partition..as my friend installed ubuntu inside windows..anyway thats pure virutalisation and not that much recommendable for not-so-high-end pcs right? | 10:12 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: that's no virtualization at all | 10:14 |
| stdin | shyam_k: it's not virutalisation exactly, it just uses a file on a partition as a fake hard drive. the only thing that would be slower is disk access, the rest should be the same | 10:14 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: it just runs from a loop-mounted file on the ntfs partition | 10:14 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: which is of course slower than having the filesystem directly on a partition | 10:14 |

| shyam_k | ok and its not yet to make ubuntu/other GNU/Linux to run on ntfs right? | 10:16 |
| shyam_k | or i heard still ext3 is the best or something. | 10:16 |
| stdin | it doesn't run on ntfs exactly, it still uses ext3 | 10:17 |

| amanulla | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."what does it mean | 10:52 |
| linny | Aytug: you need to get in and edit xorg.conf i think to a resouloution thats supported | 10:52 |
| Greenhouse | yepyep: Did you try burning a CD and install fromt hat one? | 10:53 |
| shyam_k | euw3648: oh ubuntu people have changed focus out of crt monitors? | 10:53 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: not ubuntu, but xorg | 10:53 |
| shyam_k | i mean that could answer why its not syncing correctly with a lott of monitors.. | 10:53 |
| yepyep | Greenhouse: no external cd support... | 10:53 |
| shyam_k | great! we here are still on crts.. | 10:54 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: newer xorg versions rely on timings that must be probed from the monitor | 10:54 |
| shyam_k | hmm.. | 10:54 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: and many older crts just give bogus timings back | 10:54 |
| shyam_k | ic. | 10:54 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: it's the monitor manufacturer's fault | 10:54 |
| Greenhouse | yepyep, perhaps you can start up another OS just to get CD support, then run Ubuntu intall? | 10:54 |
| amanulla | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."what does it mean | 10:55 |
| shyam_k | yeah sure.. no offense,but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has been the key command that i adviced for a lott of people:) | 10:55 |
| linzertorte | hey | 10:55 |
| IamLegend | hey | 10:55 |
| linny | amanulla: run 'dpkg --configure -a' | 10:55 |
| yepyep | I've a very minimal X terminal distribution working now (I don't know the linux core if it's debian or other) | 10:56 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: so in these cases, one has to edit xorg.conf and put in timings and probably even modelines, just like in the ugly old days of xorg | 10:56 |
| shyam_k | yeah and i saw that change too.. dpkg-reconfigure is no more going to monitor section.. | 10:57 |
| amorphous_ | could anyone tell me how to get dmesg to keep sending lines to my term? | 10:57 |
| Greenhouse | yepyep, unfortunally i'm a beginner at this, can't help you i'm afraid. :( | 10:57 |
| yepyep | can I install from network with X terminal? if yes, how? can you send me a link with some help about network setup for ubuntu? (this is my first time with linux...) | 10:57 |
| euw3648 | shyam_k: things get worse if the a monitor (crt or tft) is connected via a kvm switch. most kvm switches break the monitor probing. | 10:57 |

| PeanutHorst | where is the correct place to seek help with ubuntu-ppc ? | 11:43 |
| bazhang | !ppc | 11:43 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 11:43 |
| PeanutHorst | bazhang: i'm using 6.06LTS. that's still supported. | 11:43 |
| KRABEN | google.com | 11:43 |
| bazhang | PeanutHorst, not sure if there is a freenode chan or not | 11:44 |
| delire | i have compiled a module that i'd like to run on start up. it installs into /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/usb/media/uvcvideo.ko but there is already a module in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko. | 11:44 |
| delire | even if i remove or replace the ubuntu module, it still loads on a reboot. why is this? | 11:44 |
| bazhang | PeanutHorst, ie a separate one | 11:44 |
| delire | is it somehow being loaded from an image? | 11:44 |
| === Doc|Away is now known as Indoctrine | ||
| vallhalla81 | delire: have you tryed adding it in the sessions manager? | 11:45 |
| euw3648 | vallhalla81: loading a kernel module as part of the X session? think again | 11:45 |
| bazhang | PeanutHorst, there is a separate chan for that #ubuntu-ppc but only 8 or so people in there | 11:46 |
| Indoctrine | PeanutHorst: :O <3 | 11:46 |
| delire | vallhalla81: that would need root. i was looking at /etc/rc.local but still this fails to load the new module | 11:47 |
| euw3648 | delire: how did you remove the old uvcvideo.ko module? | 11:48 |
| === richard is now known as Guest35059 | ||
| PeanutHorst | Indoctrine: yes, i feel dirty just being here. you saw nothing. :P | 11:48 |
| delire | euw3648: rmmod (rather than modprobe) | 11:48 |
| euw3648 | delire: that will not remove the *.ko file | 11:48 |
| Indoctrine | PeanutHorst: You're off your nut. Hurrrr. I help da pplz. | 11:49 |
| PeanutHorst | Indoctrine: i got off my nuts some time ago. | 11:49 |
| PeanutHorst | went off, rather,. | 11:49 |
| monia | hi, how to start lircd as normal user? | 11:49 |
| euw3648 | delire: i'd rename ubuntu's uvcvideo.ko to uvcvideo.ko.GONE | 11:49 |
| Indoctrine | PeanutHorst: What's wrong with ya? | 11:50 |
| richard_ | he every one | 11:50 |
| delire | euw3648: i have actually removed it entirely, yet still it loads. | 11:50 |
| euw3648 | delire: can't be | 11:50 |
| delire | euw3648: an updatedb and a locate returns no other binary uvcvideo* on the system. | 11:50 |
| delire | euw3648: i know it is odd. it simply doesn't happen on my Debian Etch machine | 11:50 |
| euw3648 | delire: so modinfo uvcvideo returns the path to the new uvcvideo module? | 11:50 |
| PeanutHorst | Indoctrine: mentally or in relation to ubuntu? | 11:51 |
| Indoctrine | PeanutHorst: Both. | 11:51 |
| PeanutHorst | mentally: aspergers and psychosis. ubuntu-wise, failure to cleanly boot and start X on powermac3,3 . | 11:51 |
| delire | euw3648: i will check, one moment. | 11:51 |
| Indoctrine | Good job. :P | 11:51 |
| euw3648 | delire: ah wait, maybe uvcvideo is one of the restricted modules, so it gets linked at each boot | 11:51 |
| PeanutHorst | Indoctrine: quite. | 11:52 |
| delire | euw3648: ahah, that's why it's different in Debian | 11:52 |
| delire | euw3648: i wondered if something like this was afoot. | 11:52 |
| euw3648 | delire: to get rid of that, you have to edit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common | 11:52 |
| NiCK_NaME | Does anyone know how to use a webcam on Ubuntu, My wife wants to be able to see me when we chat together, we been separated for 15 months due to my job... i was wondering if their is a way to see he and her see me on wecams... | 11:52 |
| delire | euw3648: just what i was after. thanks a lot. | 11:52 |
| PeanutHorst | NiCK_NaME: there's a lot of help on the ubuntu wiki about this - perhaps telling us what type of webcam you use would allow us to provide more specific help. | 11:53 |
| delire | euw3648: do you know if that would be called *before* /etc/rc.local? | 11:53 |
| Indoctrine | Awww, that's sweet | 11:53 |
| euw3648 | delire: yes | 11:53 |
| NiCK_NaME | I have a Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks... | 11:53 |
| PeanutHorst | Indoctrine: what is lol | 11:53 |
| delire | euw3648: perfect | 11:53 |
| euw3648 | delire: the module will simply not be there | 11:53 |
| Indoctrine | NiCK_NaME | 11:53 |
| PeanutHorst | NiCK_NaME: then your cam is supported by gspca and uvcvideo. | 11:53 |
| Indoctrine | NiCK_NaME's reason for wanting his cam | 11:53 |
| PeanutHorst | both work well with ubuntu. | 11:53 |
| delire | euw3648: great. i'll load in my module in rc.local then, just to be sure (this is for a big museum exhibit, has to work without me around!) | 11:54 |
| PeanutHorst | I recommend using uvcvideo as it's officially (semi) supported by the Logitech Video Engineering team. | 11:54 |
| euw3648 | delire: the ubuntu concept of restricted modules is to have them only as .o files on the hard disk and link them to a .ko file which resides in a tmpfs | 11:54 |
| NiCK_NaME | PeanutHorst okay. thanks do you know where i can get gspca or uvcvideo ? | 11:54 |
| beli | NiCK_NaME: at first....what os is your wife using? | 11:54 |
| euw3648 | delire: so the .ko form of the restricted module is never on the hard disk | 11:54 |

| NiCK_NaME | My Wife is using Windows Vista | 11:55 |

| delire | NiCK_NaME: i wish you both luck ;) | 11:55 |
| PeanutHorst | NiCK_NaME: general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams specifics: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/uvcvideo | 11:55 |
| delire | euw3648: with that explanation in place, it makes sense. | 11:55 |
| beli | NiCK_NaME: ok so if you got your webcam working under linux, you need a client software later to communicate...you could use msn for windows vista and amsn for linux as one solution.... | 11:56 |
| NiCK_NaME | PeanutHorst: Thanks man, i am sure my wife you bake you cookies for this LOL! | 11:56 |
| euw3648 | delire: it's all the hardware manufacturer's fault. i they would give enough info to free driver developers, there wouldn't be any restricted drivers. | 11:56 |
| PeanutHorst | thanks kindly | 11:56 |
| euw3648 | delire: *if they | 11:56 |

| beli | NiCK_NaME: at first you need your webcam to work with linux............if that is done, you need software to communicate with your wirfe | 11:57 |
| euw3648 | delire: well, not for many cheap usb hardware.. | 11:57 |

| uriol | hi | 12:11 |
| uriol | i tried to install google talk on ubuntu hardy heron | 12:11 |
| redheat | Pacifist, so sorry I was away..you said that Ext3 is backward compatible, the problem is when I format any partition to Ext3, and go back into windows and click on that partition I get this message "partition is not formatted do you like to formate it now" and it doesn't matter which version of windows I'm using vista or xp. The program I'm using for viewing the linux partitions is Ex2 IFS you can find it here www.fs-driver.org | 12:11 |
| coder__ | hy allz | 12:11 |
| uriol | through the wine application | 12:11 |
| uriol | but the windows it appears without text | 12:12 |
| uriol | only the textfield were you put login id and password | 12:12 |
| uriol | and no bottons | 12:12 |
| redheat | anyhow I checked with their website and asked if that was normal or not..and I came across this question which relates to my problem, it's the first question on this page http://www.fs-driver.org/troubleshoot.html | 12:12 |
| coder__ | I wonder how can be record the screen on ubuntu? Anyone could help me? | 12:12 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about recordmydesktop | 12:16 |
| Rioting_pacifist | redheat: im not an expert but afaik ext3 is just ext2 filesystem + journaling which means that if windows can read ext2 it can read ext3 | 12:16 |
| redheat | that's exactly what is driving me crazy | 12:17 |
| IamSOG | I am wondering... does verion 8 slower than version 7 ? | 12:17 |
| Rioting_pacifist | but im not 100% sure, ext3 is preferd to ext2 but if you dont crash there is no real difference in using ext2 over ext3 | 12:17 |
| [Slug] | time for coffee | 12:18 |
| redheat | windows should read it, but it doesn't..and it just gives me that stupid non-formatted nonsense..and by the way this is not related to any distro.. | 12:18 |
| Rioting_pacifist | IamSOG: it may be as it comes with compiz running by default but 7 doesnt | 12:18 |
| DigitalFiz | ext3 has journaling which is a big difference | 12:18 |
| coder__ | ubottu, thx :) | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thx :) | 12:18 |

| redheat | that's exactly what I'm getting..when I ran that program..it told me that the "inode is not 128 but it's 256, so while chosing the formate for my linux partition, I should make sure that its inode is 128.. | 12:21 |

| Rioting_pacifist | konner, its a beta1 i wouldnt try it tbh, it will depend on the card stuff like atheros may actually be workse | 12:42 |
| konner | I have a linksys WMP54GS and it worked with 7.10 but when i used 8.04 my wireless didnt work. | 12:42 |

| adac | how can I run a check of my hard disk on command line? | 12:43 |
| konner | I usually use Ndiswrapper and it didnt seem to work on hardy. | 12:43 |
| Rioting_pacifist | ubuntu-ir: well if your gonig to do a manual install the program is launched by running /opt/firefox/firefox instead of firefox, if you want to cheat (and its probably not a good idea) you can link /usr/bin/firefox to /opt/firefox/firefox | 12:43 |
| Rioting_pacifist | In my experience with broadcom, distro updates are hit and miss, so dont hold your breath for it to work well in 8.10 unless theres been a recent developement in the drivers | 12:45 |

| moza | sorry... my bad... hello al | 12:46 |
| moza | all | 12:46 |
| konner | Im trying to change back to ubuntu thats why i wanted to use the new beta :P because 8.04 doesnt work for me. im on the mandriva RC2 for 2009. but i want to use ubuntu. | 12:46 |
| liza0_ | whats the recommended amount of ram for a system using ubuntu for multimedia, running two database servers for development , apache/php and tomcat ? | 12:46 |
| ikonia | liza0_: depends on the size of the databases | 12:46 |
| ikonia | how many hits | 12:46 |
| ikonia | what sort of multi-media your using | 12:47 |
| liza0_ | :say the databases won't consume no more than 3G . | 12:47 |
| ikonia | liza0_: how many hits is the webserver getting, how many threads open to the database ? | 12:47 |
| liza0_ | mulimedia such as playing and encoding video and audio | 12:47 |
| liza0_ | ikonia:maximum of around 3 clients since it is a development machine | 12:48 |
| ikonia | liza0_: for the media - the more the better, faster, you can do it on 256 of ram, but you'll be quicker with 8gig, so thats just a speed thing | 12:48 |
| ikonia | liza0_: 1 gig should see you safe and reasonably quick | 12:48 |
| ikonia | obviously the more the better | 12:48 |
| liza0_ | i was thinking of 4G and i thought that may be an over kil in linux | 12:49 |
| ikonia | liza0_: I'm just encoding now on a machine with 8 gig, makes a good difference especially for threaded encoding | 12:49 |
| AwaDoV | adeko | 12:49 |
| ikonia | liza0_: 1 gig is "safe and nippy" 1gig + more = better | 12:49 |

| AwaDoV | yes | 12:51 |
| AwaDoV | or even a new one | 12:51 |
| Pici | !resetpanel | AwaDoV | 12:51 |
| ubottu | AwaDoV: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 12:51 |
| ikonia | tzolkin: check the card version against supported compiz cards, then look at the drivers your using | 12:51 |

| ikonia | xmagixx: no, because it's a perl module, not an individual package | 12:57 |
| ikonia | xmagixx: find out if that module is packaged for ubuntu, and if it is, what package is it in | 12:57 |

| Aslate | It wasn't safely removed, i'm trying to re-install Windows and need to back my stuff up | 13:15 |

| maozhu | would you please give me a good repository , so that i can find the pk | 13:15 |

| maek | Ontolog, sysinfo should tell you | 13:16 |
| Rioting_pacifist | Aslate: you need the mount it to an existing directory e.g mkdir /media/windows then sudo mount /dev/sdaN /media/windows | 13:16 |
| erUSUL | Aslate: for example... also you can try ntfsfix from ntfsprogs to avoid forcing | 13:16 |

| ljsoftnet | ubuntu server has no gui like gnome? | 13:18 |
| erUSUL | ljsoftnet: no it has not by default. you can install one if you want | 13:18 |
| maozhu | jrib : Well, the repository does not have libglade0 and libglib1.2 which I want. | 13:18 |
| linny | servers are usally headless so no need for a gui | 13:18 |

| maozhu | jrib : I want to install pptpconfig | 13:19 |
| faria | ok | 13:19 |
| erUSUL | coldhitman47: boot into recovery mode and do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' | 13:19 |
| dns53 | ljsoftnet use aptitude or apt-get install packagename. you can turn a server into a normal install by installing ubuntu-desktop | 13:19 |
| faria | what is the vissible_hostname ??? | 13:19 |
| macvr | no.. not flash.. i want to have an alarm play sound even while i'm playing a movie | 13:20 |
| Pabix | Hello! Would you have some idea to reorganise lines in a file in a random order? | 13:20 |
| Pici | wilfried: What is lancelot? | 13:20 |
| ljsoftnet | ah ok thanks | 13:20 |
| linny | fairia what type of server are you trying to set up ? | 13:20 |
| faria | infact i need lamp server for irc shell service | 13:20 |
| faria | webhosting | 13:20 |
| bazhang | !lamp | 13:20 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 13:20 |
| faria | n also cache using squide | 13:21 |
| macvr | erUSUL>no.. not flash.. i want to have an alarm play sound even while i'm playing a movie | 13:21 |
| faria | hmmm | 13:21 |
| faria | yaa i m on it | 13:21 |
| wilfried | lancelot, makes easy to access on a programm | 13:21 |
| maozhu | jrib : I tried the google.com , I saw the pptpconfig , but when i tried install , it say that I need php-gtk-pcntl | 13:21 |
| faria | what is the vissible_hostname ??? | 13:22 |
| jrib | maozhu: did you do 'apt-cache search pptp' and see if any of those packages will do what you want? | 13:22 |
| erUSUL | macvr: them make both programs movie player and alalrm use pulseadio if posible or esd or alsa (in that order) | 13:22 |
| === moza is now known as moza_idle | ||
| macvr | erUSUL> i was using pulse audio only but some one here told me to switch to alsa | 13:22 |

| coldhitman47 | erUSUL, 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' returns 'xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwritting possibly-customized config... ' | 13:23 |
| faria | what is the vissible_hostname ??? i want to st in squide | 13:23 |
| Pici | wilfried: If you mean for KDE4, you may want to ask in #kubuntu-kde4 | 13:23 |
| macvr | erUSUL>how do i force each app a different pulse/alsa? | 13:23 |
| faria | what is the vissible_hostname ??? i want to set in squide | 13:23 |
| erUSUL | macvr: well depending on your hw simultanous output with alsa may or not work | 13:23 |
| Pici | faria: You'd have better luck asking in #squid for such a program specific config option. | 13:23 |
| faria | ok | 13:23 |
| erUSUL | coldhitman47: that means it generated a new xorg.conf that was what you wanted; no? | 13:23 |
| maozhu | jrib : Thanks ,I will try another way | 13:24 |
| dns53 | GreedyB you need to tunnel everything on your local port to end up in the remote port, ssh -Llocalport:127.0.0.1:remoteport | 13:24 |
| macvr | erUSUL: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. | 13:24 |
| macvr | erUSUL: that is the error i get often | 13:24 |
| erUSUL | macvr: and if you use pulsesink ? or alsasink ? | 13:24 |
| macvr | erUSUL: i just switch between alsa /pulse when that happens.... | 13:25 |
| macvr | both... | 13:25 |
| erUSUL | macvr: run "gstreamer-properties" | 13:25 |
| dns53 | GreedyB eg if you want to tunnel port 222 on the remote server to 111 locally you would ssh -L111:127.0.0.1:222 user@remote, you can tunnel and connect to a remote server with the middle arg | 13:25 |

| Milos | -> mount: no permission to look at /dev/loop# - halp! | 13:26 |

| ubottu | 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. | 13:53 |
| jim_p | Nautilus: that font depends on the theme you use and it is somewhere inside ~/.themes/themename/gtk-2.0/gtkrc | 13:53 |

| zetheroo-ubuntu | is there a download app that will allow me to schedule a download? | 13:55 |
| xnv | jim_p: Actually, no. It's where I said, but it's the Application font, not the Desktop font | 13:55 |
| jim_p | X-Seti: like view it like gparted shows it? | 13:55 |
| xnv | Nautilus: So make that Application font at the end | 13:55 |
| Nautilus | kk | 13:55 |
| X-Seti | i find qtparted better then qparted | 13:55 |
| X-Seti | less permissions needed to do more | 13:55 |

| klync | huh... apparently, it *is8 a bash script | 16:13 |
| hoonteke | kjetil1001: depends on how much memory you have | 16:13 |
| amenado | Khisanth-> edit the /etc/network/interfaces file | 16:13 |
| kjetil1001 | 2Gigabyte ram | 16:13 |
| hoonteke | kjetil1001: if you ahve enough, you can boot up teh LiveCD ... in something like memory only or ... I don't know the wording | 16:14 |
| hoonteke | kjetil1001: then you will be able to use the cdrom drive | 16:14 |
| Khisanth | amenado: I don't want to change anything in that file, I want to change the stuff that is in /etc/resolv.conf | 16:14 |
| * vorador Boas! | 16:14 | |
| rohan_1 | kjetil1001: thats enough but in the live cd mode you cant take out the CD because all programs are in the CD | 16:14 |
| kjetil1001 | How do I boot up the CDlive in memory-only mode? | 16:14 |
| hoonteke | kjetil1001: it still may not be enough however, because that will take somethin glike 1.2 or 1.5 gigs right there | 16:15 |
| hoonteke | kjetil1001: it's ... hold on | 16:15 |
| Khisanth | I can change it in NM and it will save it in /etc/resolv.conf but after awhile it reverts back to the old settings -_- | 16:15 |
| unop | klync, if file thinks its a bash script - make it executable and run it | 16:15 |
| rohan_1 | kjetil1001: try an ubuntu live pendrive | 16:15 |
| socal | mon^rch, have you tried [man freshclam] to find the answer to your question? | 16:15 |
| amenado | Khisanth-> then change the /etc/resolv.conf but everytime you get a new ip, that changes again | 16:15 |
| hoonteke | kjetil1001: that's a good suggestion | 16:15 |
| klync | unop: yeah, i was just a bit surprised... i just downloaded a 61Mb bash script | 16:15 |
| hoonteke | or rather, rohan_1: that's a good suggestion. | 16:15 |
| Khisanth | hmm yeah I remember now, there is a setting in the dhclient conf | 16:16 |
| mon^rch | wiehan: that didnt work | 16:16 |
| klync | i mean, i've written some convoluted code in my time, but... | 16:16 |
| unop | klync, it probably contains binary data as heredocs | 16:16 |
| hoonteke | rohan_1: are there instructions for kjetil1001 anywhere for how to make a pen drive? | 16:16 |
| hoonteke | I haven't done that yet ... | 16:16 |

| amenado | willluongo-> which clients are you referring to? what is their ip address and what name server do they use? | 16:26 |
| woe3634 | willluongo: get the dns settings for the clients right | 16:26 |
| willluongo | woe3634 clients are right, it is a problem with my server configuration. | 16:27 |
| willluongo | amenado my LAN clients, with local IPs | 16:27 |
| woe3634 | willluongo: what did you set as dns server on the clients? | 16:27 |
| amenado | willluongo-> how did they get their ip address? | 16:27 |
| willluongo | amenado static IP | 16:28 |
| amenado | willluongo-> answer woe3634 question, whats the name server you used for the clients? | 16:28 |

| willluongo | amenado woe3634 setting up the nameservers correctly fixed it :D I am sorry I assumed my client was set up correctly, my other router forwarded the nameservers... | 16:32 |

| bobertdos | enriaf: If you can't mount the drive i any OS, then it's a problem with the drive. Is it recognized by a partitioner so that you can possible reformat/repartition it? | 16:53 |
| eregi | Ljl can you just pls give me lines to add to the terminal, don't have time to read. please.. | 16:53 |
| unop | cosmodad, hmm - you might be using an older version of aptitude then | 16:53 |
| cosmodad | unop: yeah I'm still on 7.04. | 16:54 |
| LjL | eregi, that's the lamest excuse i've heard, honestly. | 16:54 |
| cosmodad | unop: found some explanation in the doc directory, however. | 16:54 |
| enriaf | No it is not recognise for gparted or anything also the $ lsusb | 16:54 |
| cosmodad | unop: still, how'd I go about resolving this issue? Any idea? | 16:54 |
| enriaf | bobertdos | 16:54 |
| unop | cosmodad, that could explain it - well, it looks to me like the package that are being removed somehow depend on tracker or a library related to tracker | 16:54 |
| jakisktos | i havent`t network drivers in my distro 8.04 | 16:55 |
| jakisktos | how to fix that? | 16:55 |
| justshams | hello | 16:55 |
| unop | cosmodad, errm, see if apt-get does this any better - aptitude can be a little more aggresive at tiomes | 16:55 |
| sledge | unop: awsome it worked. thank | 16:55 |
| justshams | anybody listening to me?? | 16:55 |
| LjL | eregi: you'd have solved the problem already if you had read that link back when i first gave it | 16:55 |
| bobertdos | enriaf: Hmm, then I think you're just going to have to chalk it up as a hardware failure. | 16:55 |
| unop | sledge, so you need to change all src attributes to point to images at URL relative to where the page is at | 16:55 |
| cosmodad | unop: ok apt-get seems to do the job. | 16:56 |
| cosmodad | unop: thanks a lot | 16:56 |
| gahan | !current | 16:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about current | 16:56 |
| enriaf | bobertdos: I have been using it for a long time with out any problem, and I don't remenber of unplugin it with unmount | 16:56 |
| unop | LjL, sorry, what's a new one to you?? | 16:56 |
| sledge | unop: now how do i set it up so you can read it from your house | 16:56 |
| sledge | lol | 16:56 |
| LjL | unop: why-not | 16:56 |
| unop | LjL, ahh yea, a recent addition that | 16:56 |
| LjL | unop: and funny sounding too | 16:57 |
| unop | LjL, yea, aptitude has a why too :) | 16:57 |
| enriaf | bobertdos: It started to happend after erase the virus that I was having when I was Using an Windows OS | 16:57 |
| turtle_ | thanks whoever told me how to screen capture | 16:57 |
| LjL | unop: next turn, the apt-get team will add "because" | 16:57 |
| turtle_ | now I can use movie snapshots as my background. I love Audrey Tatou! :) | 16:58 |
| unop | sledge, errm, the way i told you i suppose | 16:58 |
| cosmodad | how much disk space do I need for upgrading? I guess it depends on the number of packages that are already installed, but I'd be glad for some figure. | 16:58 |
| cosmodad | upgading ubuntu... | 16:58 |
| enriaf | boertdos: I have posted it in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=936985 | 16:58 |
| sledge | unop: i mean i have a local web server turned on, how do i make it non local.. so its on the web? | 16:58 |
| Pici | cosmodad: if you upgrade using apt-get, it will tell you the amount of disk space that needs to be used. | 16:58 |
| unop | LjL, ha ha yea | 16:58 |
| usser | turtle_, check out xwinwrap | 16:59 |
| cosmodad | Pici: aptitude as well? | 16:59 |
| Pici | cosmodad: Yes. | 16:59 |
| enriaf | sledge: do you have router? | 16:59 |
| cosmodad | Pici: thanks. | 16:59 |
| usser | turtle_, but for it to work you have to have 3d acceleration and compiz | 16:59 |
| unop | sledge, ohh - have you registered a domain name ? | 16:59 |
| sledge | unop: not yet, should i go order one now? | 16:59 |
| ^paradox^ | just as a refresher im trying to share the printer an hp psc 1110 over a network with two computers. the computer the printers hooked up to is a windows vista home pc. im trying to share it to this pc running ubuntu 8.04. ive installed samba, samba-common, smbfs. ive configured it and set the vista pc to share files and printers. the printer receives test pages sent to it but doesnt print them. they show up in the job list saying spooling and the print | 16:59 |
| ^paradox^ | er physically tries to print them, but to no effect. | 16:59 |
| bobertdos | enriaf: Hmm, I wonder if the Windows partitioner could recognize it. | 17:00 |
| unop | sledge, well yea, if you prefer people to access your site by a memorable name - though you can always access a site via IP address | 17:00 |
| jim_p | how do you disable automount for removable media???? | 17:00 |
| enriaf | sledge: I don't use any domain name and I am able to connect to my web server over all the planet just with the IP | 17:00 |
| bobertdos | jim_p: You mean mounting upon being plugged in? | 17:00 |
| ^paradox^ | ive put all the steps i went through to configure plus things i did that were suggested to me in this pastebin http://rafb.net/p/PGKt2Y50.html | 17:01 |
| jim_p | bobertdos: yes. i want that disabled! | 17:01 |
| sledge | unop: well i guess ill try the IP address first | 17:01 |
| enriaf | bobertdos: When I plug it in windos a pop-out appears saying something like: "The USB it is not working well" | 17:01 |
| r3c0n | hey | 17:01 |
| unop | sledge, yea, you can do that to test the site out yourself | 17:02 |
| r3c0n | where can i find spare parts for a car other than ebay ?? | 17:02 |
| sledge | 75.40.239.99/save.html | 17:02 |

| enriaf | bobertdos: I haven't try with a partitioner | 17:02 |
| r3c0n | just as an advice | 17:02 |
| unop | sledge, yea, i see it :) | 17:02 |
| r3c0n | maybe someone know | 17:03 |
| bazhang | r3c0n, not a support question | 17:03 |

| jim_p | legend2440: thanks | 17:03 |
| ^paradox^ | at this point id be willing to lesomeone remote access me to diagnos the printer sharing problem | 17:03 |
| maek | !ask | mike1504 | 17:03 |
| ubottu | mike1504: 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. :-) | 17:03 |
| r3c0n | anyhow ok i guess no one knows | 17:03 |
| LjL | mike1504: elaborate | 17:03 |
| sledge | unop: now i want to put a few ICONS IN there, like Sales, Repairs, and so on | 17:04 |
| r3c0n | nobody likes cars here ? | 17:04 |
| mike1504 | I had vsftp set up | 17:04 |

| mike1504 | I had several users uploading files | 17:04 |
| unop | sledge, that's your job tho :) with dreamweaver | 17:04 |
| maek | r3c0n, Has Canonical released a car ?? WOW !!!!! | 17:04 |
| mike1504 | I was changein mod and owner name | 17:04 |
| MaXo2 | skunk_ ? | 17:04 |
| mike1504 | to make the files read only to users in the ftp group | 17:04 |
| legend2440 | jim_p: read the post by michael spenser about disabling automount using gconf | 17:04 |
| mike1504 | and to make the ftp group the group the files belonged to | 17:05 |
| jim_p | legend2440: yea that seems the most logical | 17:05 |
| bobertdos | jim_p: I don't know how to disable that, exactly. There might be some sort of option under System->Preferences->Removalble Media or Edit->Preferences->Media under Nautilus, but i"m not sure | 17:05 |
| mike1504 | I had copied a find pipe from somewhere to help cut my admin time | 17:05 |
| LjL | mike1504, what's the error exactly, what's the filesystem that's being read-only, and what was the stuff you typed exactly (use the pastebin) | 17:06 |
| mike1504 | at some point I closed a terminal window and got an error that there were 3 somethings left I don't remember at this point what | 17:06 |
| mike1504 | when I reopened terminal and tried chmod again I got access denied read-only file system | 17:06 |
| kudak | guys, what makes resolv.conf re-update itself ? DHCP Lease maybe ?? | 17:07 |
| mike1504 | I restarted hoping that that would clear up the issue | 17:07 |
| usser | kudak, yes its dhcp | 17:07 |
| mike1504 | when I restarted it would not start, | 17:07 |
| LjL | mike1504: it didn't run fsck to check your drive? | 17:07 |
| mike1504 | I have posted on ubunt help forum what I got at the restart , | 17:07 |
| unop | kudak, dhclient actually | 17:07 |
| LjL | mike1504: i'd appreciate having the URL of that then | 17:08 |
| usser | kudak, check out /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to override | 17:08 |
| unop | kudak, or resolvconf if you have it installed, it generally isnt | 17:08 |
| mike1504 | but breifly it was access denied read-only file system | 17:08 |
| mike1504 | I will pause now for questions | 17:08 |
| lanoxx_ | how can i just retrieve a package with apt-get without installing it? | 17:08 |
| LjL | lanoxx_: sudo apt-get --download-only install packagename | 17:08 |
| enriaf | bobertdos: I can't find the option "Storage" I am using widows XP | 17:09 |
| lanoxx_ | it tells me its already the newest version, how can i ignore this? | 17:09 |

| LjL | FFEMTcJ: if there is upgraded packages available, "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will get them all installed (and so, for that matter, will the automatic updater) | 17:19 |

| arbir | haqe43: have you had that problem before >? | 17:21 |
| mike1504 | LJL can I install them thru the graphic interface? | 17:22 |
| LjL | lanoxx_: you can download packages manually from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , but you'll have to take care of the dependencies as well | 17:22 |
| amanulla | rbir:yes i use it | 17:22 |
| sledge | unop: awsome, does the link work for u ? http://75.40.239.99/save.html | 17:22 |
| adamali | there are a number of websites in my country that require Windows Media Player to run, is there a way around this limitation? | 17:22 |
| haqe43 | arbir: I have it. I remember the solution was to change something in about:config | 17:22 |
| LjL | mike1504: install it the way you prefer, as long as it's some kind of APT frontend | 17:22 |
| gharz | Pici: thanks for the info | 17:22 |
| unop | sledge, i'm not sure about dreamweaver - but I know some WYSIWYG HTML editors have an option to change local file paths to relative URLs | 17:22 |
| amanulla | LjL:dependencies as well means? | 17:22 |
| arbir | haqe43: i have done all my googling and changed most things in about:config.. if you have tellme exactly, i will do that too! | 17:22 |
| unop | sledge, yea, that works | 17:22 |
| haqe43 | arbir: but I dont remember. ask in #firefox | 17:23 |
| amanulla | LjL:what else we have to take care of | 17:23 |
| LjL | amanulla: rarely does a .deb package not require any other .deb packages (libraries, etc) in order to run. those are called dependencies. you can see a list of them when you type "apt-cache show packagename" | 17:23 |
| sledge | unop: i would have to make a back arrow | 17:23 |
| arbir | alright haqe43 :-) | 17:23 |
| LjL | amanulla, if you can use the method that Ubottu proposed, you won't have to worry about the dependences yourself. | 17:23 |
| seao_ | I'e got a uncommon problem that I can't open any program using the "gksu" command | 17:24 |
| emorris | leon_06: works ok for me. I think you have to have flash 9. also check that you don't have any programs which are using the sound card open when you start or use it? | 17:24 |
| LjL | seao_: what happens when you try? | 17:24 |
| amanulla | LjL:Ubottu proposed means terminal? | 17:24 |

| brutus_ | Eh? This command just hangs my terminal...does it usually take time? | 17:29 |
| brutus_ | Ljl, Eh? This command just hangs my terminal...does it usually take time? | 17:29 |

| genii | ross`: No | 17:32 |
| mike1504 | LJL it is an ide drive I am back at prompt I did no further until instructed thanks | 17:32 |

| gharz | i've installed one distro and use it as my server but the thing is limewire keeps still connecting. | 17:33 |
| LjL | FFEMTcJ: you can request a backport | 17:33 |
| noodlesgc | seao_ or do sudo dpkfg-reconfigure synaptic | 17:33 |
| LjL | seao_: and while you're waiting, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:34 |
| FFEMTcJ | LjL: any idea how long that'd take to happen? | 17:34 |
| LjL | FFEMTcJ: it might never happen, if the backports team decides the package is too complicated to backport | 17:34 |

| kusanagi_ | I just upgrade to 8.10 and Ive never reported a bug... Even tho, I have a couple of suggestion, can u tell me if they are stupid or useful before actually posting them? 1.- When I upgraded it gave me some general error during the download of packages and didnt upgrade... It was because of the lack of empty space... I solved the problem but it didnt told me during the process what was the cause of it... is it considered a bug? | 17:43 |
| jamesish | kusanagi_: meaningful dialogue boxes are considered necessary, I believe. I'd report it. | 17:44 |
| LjL | amorphous_: some printers can be soft-powered off, and sometimes even on, which printer is that? | 17:44 |
| danbh_intrepid | kusanagi_: were you using update-manager? | 17:44 |
| kusanagi_ | yep | 17:44 |
| danbh_intrepid | yeah, report it | 17:44 |

| haqe43 | _Ratchet: You need to use ndiswrapper for that | 18:01 |
| haqe43 | !ndiswrapper | _Ratchet | 18:01 |
| ubottu | _Ratchet: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 18:01 |

| faria | infact i have laptop and i buy a dvice with sim it called usb flash modem so i want to use my laptop from anywhere with the device i said above | 18:02 |
| deathtech | jim_p: Nogo, still wont let me access it | 18:02 |
| Pici | l3d: Because zenity would display stuff to your xorg session. Crontab has no knowledge of your $DISPLAY | 18:02 |
| ksbalaji | raj are you here? | 18:03 |
| _Ratchet | haqe43, I will write everything you tell me down, I have to go onto ubuntu and do it since i only have one computer | 18:03 |

| _Ratchet | haqe43, like i said, i'm new | 18:03 |
| brincade | jim_p: i was using the VirtualBox in other PC with the same guest, and the mouse run fine | 18:03 |
| [T]ank | so i took it out, and now i have the same issue with the propriatary driver in the hardware manager | 18:03 |
| toast | oi | 18:03 |
| deathtech | jim_p: oddly enough i havent booted into windows for quite some time since i got ubuntu installed, but i will reboot in and see if that clears it up | 18:04 |
| haqe43 | _Ratchet: read the ubuntu wireless documentation.. it's very good, and will teach you | 18:04 |
| jim_p | [T]ank: do you have set nvidia in the driver line in xorg.conf? | 18:04 |
| socal | [T]ank, have you set the type of display you have? | 18:04 |
| jim_p | deathtech: i am 99% sure that this is it | 18:04 |
| Monkey_arma | haqe43 can you link to it for him please, he is very new | 18:04 |

| kusanagi_ | Can you tell me if this is a bug and have to be reported as that?I just upgraded to 8.04 to 8.10... It took about 2 hours to download the packages and about 1 and a half to install them... It was very annoying because every 5 minutes it promted me if i wanted to keep my configuration files or to rewrite them... the thing is... the whole proccess froze behind... I couldnt leave it unnatended... I had to check every 10 mins or so to see | 18:05 |
| kusanagi_ | what was going on... cant it just keep updating and promt me for everything at the end? | 18:05 |
| [T]ank | socal: the nvidia-settings is where I do this usually. had no problem before i tried to upgrade the driver :-( | 18:05 |
| deathtech | since im remoted into my nix machine however, i wont be able to drop back into linux as i cant modify the bootloader from within windows, that i know of, anyone have any idea if that can be done ? would be nice to remotely be able to control which OS grub picks at boot | 18:05 |
| soundd | hi, my sound isnt working, can someone help ? | 18:05 |
| jim_p | gonzaloaf_laptop: either with samba or nfs, depends on the other pcs on your network and their os | 18:06 |
| Novell | hi, does the 2.6.27-4-generic kernel include the patch to make the NVM read-only on e1000 cards ? and why doesn't my ethernet card on my X61s work with that kernel ? | 18:06 |
| mike1504 | LJL are you still here? I'm back | 18:06 |
| jim_p | Novell: the 2.6.27 is on ibex, so ask on #ubuntu+1 | 18:06 |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | jim_p, samba | 18:06 |
| froosch | soundd: i may sing real loud if it helps :/ | 18:06 |

| faria | infact i have laptop and i buy a dvice with sim it called usb flash modem so i want to use my laptop from anywhere with the device i said above | 18:07 |
| socal | [T]ank, I would just grab the driver from Nvidia and install that instead. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us | 18:07 |
| jim_p | gonzaloaf_laptop: and install SWAT to manage the samba from another pc | 18:07 |

| venome | soundd: what's the exact problem? | 18:08 |
| soundd | venome, applications look as if they use sound, but i hear nothing | 18:09 |
| adv | i'm trying to connect to a wpa network after a fresh install and it can't connect. i'm entering the right pass | 18:09 |
| venome | soundd: what version and type of ubuntu do you use? | 18:09 |
| soundd | venome: ubuntu hardy | 18:10 |
| venome | soundd: have you checked system => preferences => sound ? | 18:10 |
| jim_p | gonzaloaf_laptop: do you have a samba.conf file? | 18:10 |
| soundd | venome: yes there everything seems normal | 18:11 |
| venome | soundd: you are most likely running pulseaudio, so try to install some gui tools for pulseaudio diagnostics | 18:11 |
| soundd | venome: intel ICH5 | 18:11 |
| mnemo | how can I burn a blu-ray _data_ disk in ubuntu? | 18:11 |
| soundd | venome: can you elaborate? what pulseaudio tools do i need ? | 18:11 |
| venome | soundd: perhaps first check the volume levels | 18:12 |
| wolson_ | hmmm | 18:12 |
| jim_p | gonzaloaf_laptop: the file is /etc/samba/smb.conf | 18:12 |
| matthias__ | hi all | 18:12 |
| soundd | venome: i checked in alsamixer, tried every possible combination/setting, all volumes full blow | 18:12 |
| haqe43 | _Ratchet: personally I have found it much easier to get the hardware to suit the software. If you encounter multiple problems with ndiswrapper, consider getting a card that is supprted natively by linux. There is a list here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 18:12 |
| venome | soundd: :) well... are your speakers online? :) | 18:13 |
| matthias__ | could i get on my server without ssh? | 18:13 |
| wolson_ | console? | 18:13 |
| wolson_ | sftp? | 18:13 |
| matthias__ | yes | 18:13 |
| jim_p | Matt: telnet? | 18:13 |
| wolson_ | vnc? | 18:13 |
| soundd | venome: i use a minijack to connect to an amp, i use the middle (green) output, which should be line-out i guess | 18:13 |
| matthias__ | ok | 18:13 |
| venome | soundd: anyway, try to install the pulseaudio device chooser and pulseaudio volume control and pulseaudio manager | 18:13 |

| wolson_ | jim_p for EXSi? | 18:15 |
| wolson_ | ah nm I found a console version | 18:15 |
| sfears_ | does anyone know of an easy way to reinstall a destroyed home folder? | 18:15 |
| jim_p | wolson_: yea. its source code, download package anything. i dont know how it looks | 18:15 |
| venome | soundd: and perhaps pulseaudio volume meter (that should give you some info on whether or not the playback is running) | 18:15 |
| socal | [T]ank, what video card are you running? | 18:16 |
| haqe43 | sfears_: what you mean destroyed? | 18:16 |
| jim_p | gonzaloaf_laptop: are you there? | 18:16 |
| wolson_ | jim_p EXSi is awesome. And it's free. Google vmware and check out the link at the upper right | 18:16 |
| soundd | venome: it looks like its not running, it shows a speaker with a red cross through it | 18:16 |
| matthias__ | wolson_, sorry ssh: connect to host intra.szonet.de port 22: Connection refuse so much about sftp | 18:16 |
| jim_p | wolson_: still no exsi | 18:17 |
| venome | venome: which tool and where? | 18:17 |
| haqe43 | sfears_: sudo mkdir /home/sfears might be what you want | 18:17 |
| deathtech | matthias : sftp uses port 23, not 22 correct ? | 18:17 |
| mikeypizano | i need serious help please, after a hibernate my CPU fan wont work propperly sometimes | 18:17 |

| mikeypizano | if i dont get this fan working right i will need to go back to vista :( | 18:19 |
| matthias__ | deathtech, correct | 18:19 |
| soundd | venome: yes full | 18:19 |
| venome | soundd: try running the pulseaudio device chooser | 18:19 |
| haqe43 | mikeypizano: sounds like a hardware problem | 18:19 |
| venome | soundd: it should add another icon to your taskbar | 18:19 |
| mikeypizano | it was working fine on vista haqe43 | 18:19 |

| soundd | soundd: yes its already running, thats where i see Volume Control, Manager, etc... | 18:20 |
| erUSUL | mike1504: if your system is mounting some filesystem read only is becouse it found serious errors on them so for safety it mounts them ro. Proceed with caution | 18:20 |
| venome | soundd: and there, open the "volume meter(playback)" | 18:20 |
| venome | soundd: and run some audio, check if the bars in the meter are moving | 18:20 |
| haqe43 | mikeypizano: what doesn't sometimes work properly about it? | 18:20 |
| mikeypizano | after a hibernate, sometimes it wont turn on | 18:20 |
| soundd | venome: yes meters go | 18:21 |
| csilk | can someone tell me waht the default human ubuntu font sozes are.. and what the default fonts are | 18:21 |
| Pici | l3d: I'm not sure if you can put that before your command in crontab like you would normally, but you probably can put it into a script and then call the script from crontab | 18:21 |
| csilk | can someone just have a quick look for me? | 18:21 |
| venome | soundd: so it must be in the way your speakers are connected | 18:21 |
| jim_p | i quit guys | 18:22 |
| venome | soundd: (this means that the sound definately leaves one of the ports of your sound card) | 18:22 |

| amorphous_ | I'm confused... dpkg says i have ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-8 userspace USB programming library | 18:39 |
| amorphous_ | ii libusb-dev 2:0.1.12-8 userspace USB programming library developmen | 18:39 |
| amorphous_ | -- does this mean it's ok for hplip which says requirements are libusb 0.1.8 or higher. | 18:39 |

| Professor_K | I just installed ubuntu, I tried to play some music (mp3s) it worked in totem after I installed the prorietary codecs, but it doesn't work in moc player | 18:40 |

| Professor_K | can somebody tell me how I can make it wok in moc please? | 18:40 |

| PatrickMello | I tried to reboot my ubuntu server by ssh terminal, I received the console message, but OS no start reboot process.. anyone have any idea for this problem?? | 18:40 |
| x2o | downgrading isnt safe | 18:41 |
| danbh_intrepid | x2o: I mean, you can always download the packages manually, and install them, and see what happens. But if anything breaks, or doesn't work, people may just tell you to reinstall | 18:41 |
| amorphous_ | I have dbus issues and i cant make much sense out of this gnome bug (which seems to be at the root of all my problems (at least I hope it is - it's taken ages to fing something that could be!) | 18:41 |
| erUSUL | x2o: no; not manually. many things can go wrong if you mix packages from different versions so do not do that | 18:41 |
| danbh_intrepid | x2o: do you have a separate /home? | 18:41 |
| x2o | yes | 18:41 |

| Freakin_Busy | umm... i know this is against better judgement.. but how do i log in as the root user? | 18:42 |
| Pici | !root | Freakin_Busy | 18:42 |
| ubottu | Freakin_Busy: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:42 |
| amorphous_ | Could anyone help me with dbus issues - perhaps just how to stop it and start it | 18:42 |
| amorphous_ | in short | 18:42 |
| x2o | how safe is intrepid? do you use it for everyday work? | 18:42 |
| gs | I've just updated to ubuntu 8.1 | 18:42 |
| danbh_intrepid | x2o: so, unless you are running LAMP, you don't have much to loose if you upgrade | 18:42 |
| TSupra88 | Freakin_Busy, just go to administration in the menu panel | 18:42 |
| Kenono | sudo passwd allow you to create roots password | 18:42 |
| amorphous_ | how do i find out if this applies to me? | 18:42 |
| Pici | Kenono: Please do not suggest that here. | 18:42 |
| TSupra88 | then login window, and check "allow root login" or something like that | 18:42 |
| Pici | !noroot | Kenono | 18:42 |
| ubottu | Kenono: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 18:42 |
| x2o | what ist LAMP | 18:42 |
| gs | but i'm still as unlucky concerning compiz | 18:42 |
| Kenono | allows* | 18:42 |
| PatrickMello | yes, a try the reboot by root access... | 18:42 |
| Kenono | a | 18:42 |
| Pici | gs: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion. | 18:42 |
| gs | it doesn't give me any hint at the error besides xgl not present | 18:42 |
| gs | ok | 18:43 |
| Kenono | Ah, of course, apologies | 18:43 |

| ubottu | Freakin_Busy: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 18:46 |
| rsc- | ouch, fat32 :( | 18:46 |
| Pici | Freakin_Busy: Its possible, but we do not reccomend or support it. | 18:46 |

| Rob125 | Okay, strange issue. gedit doesn't run (ps aux shows it there, but no windows appear). I get sys:1: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed as an error when I try to run from terminal. | 19:39 |

| Pretto | nate_, i think you have the solution in your description of the error | 19:44 |
| Rob125 | Prose: you can do it in gconf-editor, yeah; there's a way to map key shortcuts to programs, so if you make your script a+x it should work. | 19:44 |

| ompaul | !root | sweetgum1 | 19:46 |
| ubottu | sweetgum1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:46 |

| sotec_prod | Question: I'm running Hardy. I need to run Windows virtually so that I can use the Zune software. Drag and Drop between OS's would be really nice, but not required. What's the best Virtual program for this? | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | !virtualizers | 19:59 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 19:59 |
| tim167 | codazoda: preferably how to make accel work, but if not how to remove yes | 20:00 |
| Astral_Projectio | anyone? | 20:00 |
| codazoda | tim167: For example, pressing ALT-F1 will get you to a text console where you could undo the damage, then reboot. | 20:00 |
| test | Astral_Projectio: if you think you can fly you better not try | 20:00 |
| tim167 | codazoda: yes i am poking in xorg.conf, but not sure what to change it to | 20:00 |
| sotec_prod | I know my choices erUSUL, but thank you. I want the best one for a simple task. I've used VMware plenty of times. Is that the easiest setup? | 20:01 |

| erUSUL | sotec_prod: then stick with vmware if you know it | 20:01 |
| codazoda | tim167: OK. I have no tips for actually getting it to work. I use nvidia. | 20:01 |
| _Guma | Any one has idea about how to fix this | 20:01 |
| Pici | _Guma: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion. | 20:01 |
| codazoda | No idea's on how to use xsendkeys? | 20:01 |
| DSpair | Astral_Projectio, Yes, nm-applet can handle ndis-wrapper drivers. Once the ndis-wrapper drivers are loaded, it appears to be a standard network adapter and all Ubuntu programs will deal with it as such. | 20:01 |
| DSpair | codazoda, I've tried a number of times with no luck. | 20:02 |
| Astral_Projectio | DSpair, but it wont search my wireless networks | 20:02 |
| Astral_Projectio | im connected on wlan right now with ndiswrapper but nm-applet wont scan | 20:02 |
| codazoda | DSpair: Interesting. Me too. Odd that the docs just kinda seem like what I want, but nothing happens. Maybe I'll email the author and hope for the best.... | 20:02 |
| DSpair | Astral_Projectio, Hmmm . . . Is your user a member of the proper groups for access to the network manager? | 20:02 |
| delire | Astral_Projectio: have you 'ifconfig <nic> up'? | 20:02 |
| hardcorelinux | Astral_Projectio, do a rmmod ndiswrapper, 'dmesg', then modprobe ndiswrapper and 'dmesg' see if any errors are popping out | 20:03 |
| Astral_Projectio | delire, is that equivallent to ifup? | 20:03 |

| DSpair | Astral_Projectio, Not exactly. ifup is a special wrapper script. ifconfig actually talks directly to the kernel. | 20:04 |

| _biker_geek_ | sweetgum: Perhaps this will help: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub | 20:47 |
| LjL | dforsyth: i didn't ban him for saying his spacebar didn't work. i banned him for adding that his *mouse* also didn't work. those two things combined would make it *impossible* to join an irc channel | 20:48 |
| dforsyth | LjL: tab complete? | 20:48 |

| mc05w37 | hey guys | 21:01 |
| _biker_geek_ | I'll need to apt-get smbclient and give it a try. Thanks for the reply! | 21:01 |
| glyph_ | `Matir, even if I'll plug it in different machines? | 21:01 |
| sweetgum | the ncurses libraries? | 21:01 |
| delire | sweetgum: apt-cache search libncursesdevel | 21:01 |
| delire | sweetgum: oops 'apt-cache search libncurses devel' | 21:01 |
| LjL | leslieviljoen: thanks for the suggestion. although i'm sure they'll find a "reasonable" way to convince me they really cannot do it. | 21:01 |
| linlin | hey | 21:01 |
| delire | sweetgum: then 'sudo apt-get install <package name>' | 21:01 |
| leslieviljoen | LjL: you need to go to view->by unicode block, then select 'all' on the left, then go to character 20 on the right with the cursor keys and press enter | 21:01 |
| `Matir | glyph_, still the same UUID | 21:02 |
| delire | sweetgum: (or just use synaptic and search for it) | 21:02 |
| leslieviljoen | LjL: it's enough work to keep someone busy for a while | 21:02 |
| sweetgum | delire: that doesn't return any results! | 21:02 |
| delire | sweetgum: 'apt-cache search ncurses devel' | 21:02 |

| glyph_ | Oxygenfa1, check this url http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t365026.html | 21:13 |
| tritium | Oxygenfa1: no, that program is already loaded into memory, and running | 21:13 |

| MetalNate | phex is good, have you used it? | 21:15 |
| gligorhoria | is there a wait function in bash (but not the wait for other jobs function, the wait as in time) | 21:15 |

| Oxygenfa1 | This sucks I have so much stuff I just lost !!!!!!! | 21:15 |
| `Matir | Oxygenfa1, what happened? | 21:15 |
| deph | hi there | 21:15 |
| LjL | Oxygenfa1: no you aren't screwed, and watch the language please | 21:16 |
| tritium | Oxygenfa1: yes, that does suck. | 21:16 |
| LjL | Oxygenfa1: you've deleted an important part of your boot sequence | 21:16 |
| LjL | Oxygenfa1: but it really is something that you can restore | 21:16 |
| dudius | você deve ter deletado uma parte importante da sequencia de boot | 21:16 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Some jerk convinced me to type in "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512" in the terminal. THis erased my masterboot record. I didnt restart my computer. | 21:16 |
| tritium | LjL: I believe he erased the entire drive. | 21:16 |
| LjL | Oxygenfa1: now, i'm not entirely sure whether or not the partition table is stored in the MBR, but even if it is (in which case, you don't have it anymore), the partition table can be "guessed" again | 21:16 |
| LjL | tritium: uhm, count=1 bs=512 | 21:16 |

| deph | i'm a ubuntu newbie and have a pc where i need to format the harddrive... it needs to be a safe deletion... how do i do that with a ubuntu live cd? | 21:17 |
| techsupport | ok i installed samba and swat, all are OK now, but how would i actually share a partition with my windows 2003 server domain controller ? | 21:17 |
| Oxygenfa1 | LjL: what should I do ? | 21:17 |
| MetalNate | can somebody help me install a program from .zip file? im new to ubuntu | 21:17 |
| LjL | tritium: just, as i said, while he can use the "mbr" package to restore some semi-standard mbr, or for that matter just grub, if he's lost the partition table, that's a bit tougher. just a bit | 21:17 |
| gligorhoria | deph just use the guided use the hole disk option | 21:17 |
| Aaqil | Help me about formatting USB flash drive through my ubuntu i am new i dont know how to formate? | 21:17 |
| tritium | LjL: good | 21:17 |
| LjL | Oxygenfa1: quick recap - what have you tried until now | 21:17 |
| Juhaz | the partition table is at 446-510, so, yes, it's gone. need guesswork. | 21:17 |
| gligorhoria | this will wrtite the hall disk | 21:17 |
| exco | Aaqil: use gparted? | 21:18 |
| LjL | Juhaz: fortunately there are packages around that can do the guesswork for him | 21:18 |
| gligorhoria | the live distro uses gparted bytheway | 21:18 |
| adv | how can i test my webcam? | 21:18 |
| gligorhoria | if i'm not mistaken | 21:18 |
| guntbert | MetalNate: what are you trying to install? | 21:18 |
| Aaqil | exco: what is that? i dont know about that and i dont know many things of ubuntu | 21:18 |
| deph | gligorhoria: but normal format doesn't erase all data from the drive iirc... i need to clean swipe it though | 21:18 |
| Oxygenfa1 | There is no partician, ubuntu is on the whole HD. THere is no other OS | 21:18 |
| LjL | Juhaz: even with grub, anyway? the wikipedia article about mbr says that "some bootloaders" move the partition table to sector 1 | 21:19 |
| MetalNate | im trying to install phex | 21:19 |
| moglenstar | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04.1 on a Cyrix II (6x86) based computer. Booted with the alternate cd, and during the install I recieved an error because it couldn't install the kernel. What steps are required for me to install a kernel manually from the install environment? | 21:19 |
| gligorhoria | deph yes there is a program w8 1 second | 21:19 |
| Oxygenfa1 | LjL: I tried reinstalling grub, | 21:19 |
| IamSOG | how can I change to root in the terminal in Xubuntu ? | 21:19 |
| exco | Aaqil: gparted is a gui for handling partitions and lots of stuff - with it you can also format your usb drive | 21:19 |
| MetalNate | i have it, and it's the linux version, but i have no clue how to install from a zip file, i always use add/remove | 21:19 |
| Aaqil | exco: where to get or open that? | 21:19 |
| LjL | Oxygenfa1: and now grub starts, but then complains - or does it not start at all? | 21:19 |
| Juhaz | Oxygenfa1, there's always a partition, but sounds like you only had one, which makes restoring it much simpler. | 21:19 |
| IamSOG | how can I change to root in the terminal in Xubuntu ? | 21:20 |
| gligorhoria | deph u can erase it by double passing the header over each block or tripple passing is this what u want? | 21:20 |
| usser | deph, use dd for that | 21:20 |
| Terminator | sudo su? | 21:20 |
| glyph_ | sudo -i | 21:20 |
| MetalNate | .sudo nautilus | 21:20 |
| exco | Aaqil: System -> Administration -> Partition Editor | 21:20 |
| `Matir | you know what would be nice... if xchat could show you the last X messages from a particular user | 21:20 |
| deph | gligorhoria: yeah... the data needs to be gone for sure | 21:20 |
| MetalNate | im running mIRC | 21:20 |
| MetalNate | using wine | 21:20 |
| deph | usser: i already heard of dd but i don't know which options to use | 21:21 |
| LjL | `Matir: don't know about xchat, but irssi has /lastlog, and with konversation i can use ctrl+f to search for a nickname repeatedly | 21:21 |
| ompaul | !supportroot | 21:21 |
| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 21:21 |
| Aaqil | exco: there is no partition editor in my ubuntu gnome in System>Administration> | 21:21 |
| usser | deph, all you really need to know is your partition /dev name | 21:21 |
| gligorhoria | shred -z -f -n 1 <device id> | 21:21 |
| AzizLight | can you explain that: I can listen to all kind of music using totem but if I use moc player I don't hear the music (but I see the minutes passing) :S | 21:21 |
| exco | Aaqil: well then install it using Synaptic or "apt-get install gparted" | 21:21 |
| gligorhoria | deph shred -z -f -n 1 <device id> | 21:21 |
| `Matir | LjL, might have to try one of those... too set in my ways | 21:22 |
| deph | gligorhoria: so i should use shred instead of dd? | 21:22 |
| === niwa is now known as Moocher | ||
| guntbert | MetalNate: did you unpack the zip? | 21:22 |
| exco | how do I mount an ext3 partition so I (as a user) can put files on it/create folders? | 21:22 |
| gligorhoria | deph yeah | 21:22 |
| usser | deph, then to erase it sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[part or disk name] | 21:22 |
| gligorhoria | shred - overwrite a file to hide its contents, and optionally delete it | 21:22 |
| MetalNate | yea i've done that guntbert | 21:22 |
| Moocher | Hey is there a chat channel for beginner Xubuntu users to get help ? | 21:22 |
| gligorhoria | usser i think shred is better for this task | 21:22 |
| === Moocher is now known as Rocka4him | ||
| LjL | Oxygenfa1: i have to go now, but i strongly suggest trying packages "gpart" and/or "testdisk" (testdisk is a bit involved to use), i'm sure others could help you with them. those can guess partition tables. (Juhaz) | 21:22 |

| tritium | IamSOG: sudo -i | 21:24 |
| IamSOG | oh, thanks trippsss | 21:24 |
| guntbert | MetalNate: better move it to some other folder under your home-directory | 21:24 |
| usser | gligorhoria, i see | 21:25 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Can some please help me. I was stupid enough to enter "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512" because some jerk on the net convinced me it would help with another issue I was having. This completely removed my master boot record. I DID NOT REBOOT YET. I need help. | 21:25 |
| MetalNate | guntbert: ok lemme make one for it | 21:25 |
| gligorhoria | usser: any way, linux doens't inferce 1 way to do stuff :D | 21:25 |

| gligorhoria | it gives u freedon | 21:25 |
| gligorhoria | :D | 21:25 |
| deph | gligorhoria: but shred only works for files, doesn't it? or is the device handled like a file? | 21:25 |
| gligorhoria | yeah dd is for files 2 | 21:25 |
| gligorhoria | but u can make it use the hole idsk | 21:26 |

| Aaqil | exco: got it thank u for the help :) | 21:26 |

| exco | how do I have to change this line in fstab: /dev/sda6 /mnt/dev ext3 errors=remount-ro,relatime 0 0 so I can put stuff on that partition as regular user | 21:28 |
| guntbert | MetalNate: whats in that folder now? | 21:28 |
| MetalNate | guntbert: two folders lib and docs | 21:29 |
| MetalNate | guntbert: lib has a bunch of .jar files | 21:29 |
| Oxygenfa1 | trying sudo apt-get install gpart ; sudo gpart -b ~/mbr_backup -W /dev/sda /dev/sda , one sec | 21:29 |
| usser | exco, you dont have to change anything there, all you need to do is sudo chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME -R /mnt/dev | 21:29 |
| guntbert | MetalNate: no files, just 2 foldere? | 21:29 |
| exco | thanks usser | 21:29 |
| guntbert | *folders | 21:29 |
| Olwe | Oxygenfa1, do you have an external HD? | 21:29 |

| momesana | /msg Nickserv identify khaar | 21:31 |
| momesana | oops | 21:31 |
| momesana | hi everybody | 21:31 |
| tritium | momesana: time to pick a new password | 21:31 |
| MetalNate | yup lol | 21:31 |
| usser | lol | 21:31 |

| momesana | I have a question regarding updating ubuntu without having an internet connection | 21:31 |
| bobertdos | !Jjava | MetalNate | 21:31 |
| MetalNate | momesana: odd password | 21:31 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jjava | 21:31 |
| momesana | that is to say by using another host | 21:31 |
| bobertdos | !java | MetalNate | 21:31 |
| ubottu | MetalNate: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 21:31 |
| gligorhoria | thomc: it think iptables is the way to go | 21:32 |
| Coppershade-org^ | Hello and good evening :) | 21:32 |
| guntbert | MetalNate: use synaptic, thats a nice GUI for software | 21:32 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Here is what I got when I did gparted | 21:32 |
| Oxygenfa1 | http://pastebin.com/m4dbaafb | 21:32 |
| momesana | can someone here tell me how to simulate an apt-get update? | 21:32 |
| momesana | MetalNate, hehe yes | 21:32 |
| Kl4m | thomc: no iptables is not easy. you can use ufw (uncomplicated firewall) for simple command line firewall | 21:32 |
| Oxygenfa1 | WHat partician do I edit ? | 21:32 |
| coonlokht_ | irc.undernet.org | 21:32 |
| gligorhoria | thomc: i think real sys admins go for the text based solution | 21:32 |
| moglenstar | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04.1 on a Cyrix II (6x86) based computer. Booted with the alternate cd, and during the install I recieved an error because it couldn't install the kernel. What steps are required for me to install a kernel manually from the install environment? | 21:33 |
| glyph_ | Oxygenfa1, btw, you cat install remastersys and create a full backup of the system. just in case | 21:33 |
| thomc | Kl4m: ok I'll try that for now. | 21:33 |
| guntbert | !java | MetalNate | 21:33 |
| ubottu | MetalNate: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 21:33 |
| Coppershade-org^ | about to install HH on my Vostro 1510 laptop | 21:33 |
| Coppershade-org^ | can I trust the guided partition resize in the livecd? | 21:34 |
| MetalNate | java is not in my synaptic | 21:34 |
| glyph_ | moglenstar, what's the exact error message? | 21:34 |
| Oxygenfa1 | glyph_: Not a bad idea. | 21:34 |
| davidryder | colt 45 and 2 zig-zags baby that's all we need | 21:34 |
| Oxygenfa1 | So how do I edit this partician now | 21:34 |
| tritium | MetalNate: yes it is in the repos. See the info from ubottu above. | 21:34 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 21:34 |
| Coppershade-org^ | Or will I wreck my Vista partition I use for work? :) | 21:34 |
| momesana | damned Xchat. Crashing all the time under windows | 21:34 |
| Oxygenfa1 | http://pastebin.com/m4dbaafb | 21:34 |
| momesana | ok, back to my question | 21:34 |
| DreDawgg | is there a noticeable difference in time between ssh and telnet using rsync on a 50 meg file? | 21:34 |
| gligorhoria | Coppershade-org^: usualy it;s ok, i installed today from the live cd with vista and the partitioner went ok | 21:34 |
| moglenstar | There wasn't an exact error message, it just told me that it couldn't install a compatible kernel. It's nonsense though, because I know that i386 kernels work fine on this Cyrix II. | 21:34 |
| momesana | I want to simulate apt-get update without a direct link to the internet | 21:34 |
| Kl4m | DreDawgg: no | 21:35 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: when you did grub-install, did you remember sudo? | 21:35 |
| davidryder | momesana: setup a local server | 21:35 |
| gligorhoria | Coppershade-org^: but that still remains your call, btw be verry carefull when u do this if u do it without a backup | 21:35 |
| tritium | momesana: apt-get has the "-s" key to simulate what actions it would take. | 21:35 |
| DreDawgg | Kl4m: thanks | 21:35 |
| davidryder | add your machine to the repo file | 21:35 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Yes | 21:35 |
| delire | momesana: use a CD as sources list | 21:35 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: 8.04.0 | 21:35 |
| davidryder | oops, just ignore me | 21:35 |
| delire | momesana: s/as/in | 21:35 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: 8.04.1 | 21:35 |
| momesana | I can use --print-uris and download the Packages.bz2, Release.gpg etc. files but how do I apply them? | 21:35 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Can I use qparted ? Do all I want to do is just redo the particians ? | 21:35 |
| moglenstar | Oxygenfa1, it's 'Partitions'. D: | 21:36 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Are all your repositories enabled? | 21:36 |
| Kl4m | DreDawgg: ssh is actually better because it has some sort of error correction because of the encryption | 21:36 |
| glyph_ | moglenstar, what if the error is not about the kernel, but something else? like, say, no space left on the hard drive? | 21:36 |
| Juhaz | use fdisk, gparted isn't for this sort of detailed work. | 21:36 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: im not sure im a bit of a noob | 21:36 |
| Coppershade-org^ | gligorhoria, using that guided partition resize thingy? | 21:36 |
| momesana | delire, setting up a local server? | 21:36 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Go into System->Administration->Software Sources | 21:36 |
| deph | gligorhoria: Ok... it deletes now i think. how long does it approx. take? size is about 18GB | 21:36 |
| moglenstar | glyph_, it's a 40gb HDD, and I've used it previously for OpenBSD, and Arch linux. Completely wiped/partitioned it for Ubuntu, and I get this problem. | 21:36 |
| Juhaz | Oxygenfa1, just how important is this data you have on that thing? | 21:37 |
| Coppershade-org^ | What I'd like to do is to split up my D: partition into 9 gb Ubuntu + 1 GB swap | 21:37 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: ok, im in software sources | 21:37 |
| momesana | delire, I should add that I have no ethernet cable here. Only a usb stick. otherwise I would use my windows box (where my dialup modem works as opposed to linux) as a gateway to get the files | 21:37 |
| Oxygenfa1 | School, papers Im writing, etc | 21:37 |
| glyph_ | moglenstar, does LiveCD boots on it? | 21:37 |
| MichaelScott | does anyone know how to install yum or portage on ubuntu? | 21:37 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: I don't think you want to redo your partitions. An mbr is not partitions. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record | 21:37 |
| Oxygenfa1 | http://pastebin.com/m4dbaafb | 21:37 |
| momesana | MichaelScott, portage??? | 21:37 |
| Oxygenfa1 | I ran the code you wanted me to. Thats the screen I get. | 21:38 |
| MichaelScott | momesana: yes... portage as in gentoo portage | 21:38 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Edit which partition (1..4, q to quit) : | 21:38 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: AFAIK, MBR holds a little grub program | 21:38 |
| Juhaz | if it's irreplaceable, you really should consider getting/loaning an external hd and backing up the full disk before doing anything. | 21:38 |
| Coppershade-org^ | how do I partition D: into swap and another partition for Ubuntu using either Vista or the Livecd? | 21:38 |
| Kl4m | Wow, if you need to install yum or portage(!!!) on Ubuntu you should know how already. | 21:38 |
| Oxygenfa1 | SO I pick partition 1 | 21:38 |
| momesana | MichaelScott, as a guy who worked with gentoo for six years, I can tell you there is probably zero chance to find portage for ubuntu | 21:38 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Make sure the first four options under "Downloadable from the Internet" are checked (in that first tab) | 21:38 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Now what was I suppose to do | 21:38 |
| moglenstar | glyph_, I haven't got a normal Ubuntu CD to try. I don't plan to run xorg on this computer, it's too low spec for that. The Cyrix II CPU is 400mhz, 256MB ram. I intend to use it as a local webserver. | 21:38 |
| tritium | MichaelScott: no. There are ubuntu source repositories, and apt-get source, which provide similar functionality. | 21:39 |
| MichaelScott | momesana: if you worked with gentoo for six years why the hell would you switch over to ubuntu | 21:39 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Warning: entered values will not be checked; enter at your own risk! | 21:39 |
| Oxygenfa1 | 1 - Absolute start sector ( 63) | 21:39 |
| Oxygenfa1 | 2 - Absolute sector count ( 374796384) | 21:39 |
| Oxygenfa1 | 3 - Partition type ( 131)(Linux ext2 filesystem) | 21:39 |
| FloodBot1 | Oxygenfa1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:39 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: yes they are | 21:39 |
| glyph_ | moglenstar, that's weird | 21:39 |
| Kl4m | flamewar ahead! | 21:39 |
| tritium | MichaelScott: convenience | 21:39 |
| RickZilla | Anybody want to give me some pointers on getting my sound card to work? Creative Soundblaster Live Value, not sure why it's not working | 21:39 |
| Odd-rationale | MichaelScott: there is alien that will (try to) convert a .deb to .rpm... not sure how well that works though... | 21:39 |
| momesana | MichaelScott, because my harddisc fell down yesterday and my gentoo installation is broken now | 21:39 |
| Oxygenfa1 | DO I select 1 2 or 3 ?? | 21:39 |
| tritium | After six years of compiling, I'd be *so* tired of that. | 21:39 |
| momesana | MichaelScott, I am in Iran right now without a fast dsl connection and all I had left was an ubuntu cd :( | 21:39 |
| bariga | what happened with the mpg123 program on ubuntu | 21:39 |
| Coppershade-org^ | partition before Ubuntu install? Vista or LiveCD? help! | 21:39 |
| deph | btw: Does anyone have knowledge about sound in Ubuntu? I have WinXP and Ubuntu on my laptop, in Windows sound works perfectly, in Ubuntu even on max volume the output is not more than a whisper... any ideads? | 21:39 |
| momesana | tritium, I still have gentoo on my laptop. | 21:40 |
| bariga | it seems it don't longer excists | 21:40 |
| moglenstar | glyph_, I can see how the installer would find the CPU problematic, as it's essentially a copy of a Pentium 3. But if I can find out how to go about the "manual kernel install" that the error suggested, I can likely get around this. | 21:40 |
| MichaelScott | momesana: i feel your pain | 21:40 |
| momesana | deph, alsamixer | 21:40 |
| bariga | like it don't excists | 21:40 |
| komputes | deph: doubleclick on the sound icon (top right) | 21:40 |
| Odd-rationale | MichaelScott: but honestly, if you like a certain package manager, use that distro... :D | 21:40 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Okay, so go into Synaptic, reload the mirror list, and then search for sun-java6 | 21:40 |
| komputes | deph: then edit>preferences and turn all devices on | 21:40 |
| tritium | momesana: that's fine. I was just responding to MichaelScott's mild attack on ubuntu. | 21:40 |
| momesana | MichaelScott, :'(. My beloved gentoo installation that I had used for six years. all my development tools. KDE3 and KDE4 (selfcompiled) ... everything gone :'( | 21:40 |
| komputes | deph: check for muted or low volume devices. | 21:41 |
| thomc | if i switch from a full ubuntu install running gnome to a minimal install running fluxbox, will i experience a significant performance increase and will there be limitations on the apps i can run? | 21:41 |
| bariga | does anyone knows if you can stil play mp3's on text based? | 21:41 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: ok there are a few packages there | 21:41 |
| momesana | tritium, compiling the stuff sucks if you do an emerge -u world everyday ( as many gentoo ricers do ) but doing it once a month isn't annoying at all | 21:41 |
| Odd-rationale | thomc: there will not be a limitation to that pps you can run... | 21:41 |
| Oxygenfa1 | So do I do an absolute sector count ? | 21:42 |
| deph | komputes: there's only: volume, line-in, mic, pcm-2, in-gain and digital-1 ... they're all muted to zero but volume is on max... and the other devices are input devices, right? | 21:42 |
| geirha | moglenstar: Have you tried the "check cd for defects" option in the boot menu? | 21:42 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: your dd command should not have touched the partition table | 21:42 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Are you mainly wanting the Java plugin for Firefox? If so, install that, and the JRE should get installed along with it. | 21:42 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: ok im d/l the files and it's installing them | 21:42 |
| Oxygenfa1 | So It's safe to reboot ? | 21:43 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: i need it for another program too | 21:43 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: The MBR is not located in a partition, it is located at a Main Boot Record area in front of the first partition | 21:43 |
| Fat | jrib: are you available?? | 21:43 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: NO | 21:43 |
| deph | komputes: and all other available devices (file->change device) are on full volume also | 21:43 |
| Olwe | Oxygenfa1: Get yourself an external HD, back up everything you can! | 21:43 |
| MichaelScott | yeah well... with gentoo at least your learning how a computer works | 21:43 |
| Prose | weird problem: samba share will allow creation of fodler and copy of files but won't allow copy of folder with files in it | 21:43 |
| Oxygenfa1 | ok | 21:43 |
| MichaelScott | theres a learning aspect to it all | 21:43 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: you wiped out the little grub program installed at the front of the drive | 21:43 |
| favro | bariga: I use mpg123 to play mp3s at command line | 21:43 |
| tritium | MichaelScott: please stay on topic. NObody here is bashing gentoo. Please be courteous. | 21:43 |
| glyph_ | moglenstar, there is nothing on choosing custom kernel in the official doc | 21:43 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: You need to figure out why the grub-install failed | 21:43 |
| thomc | is fluxbox a good choice of lightweight window manager? | 21:43 |
| moglenstar | geirha, it's not the CD, or the CD-Rom drive. I've encountered this problem with multiple types of Ubuntu install media, burned at speeds from 1x to 24x. The hardware has worked fine for other BSD/Linux variations. | 21:43 |
| tritium | MichaelScott: and note that you can learn just as much on ubuntu. | 21:43 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Well, the JRE should take care of that too. What kind of program, by the way? | 21:43 |
| Odd-rationale | thomc: yes. very good choice... :D | 21:43 |
| MichaelScott | tritium: you just said that ubuntu is more convient than gentoo! | 21:44 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: it's called phex, a p2p program | 21:44 |
| favro | +1 fluxbox | 21:44 |
| Juhaz | leslieviljoen, the mbr is "not located on a partition" but the partition table IS located on the MBR. | 21:44 |
| bariga | but you have to download the source i guess, cause on my ubuntu 8.0 there is no mpg123 package anymore | 21:44 |
| deph | komputes: ? | 21:44 |
| moglenstar | glyph_, I found that too. But the error about it not finding a suitable kernel suggested I install one manually. I figure the only way to do this is from one of the other tty's in the install environment, as I wouldn't be able to boot otherwise. | 21:44 |
| thomc | Odd-rationale: thanks... i'll see how i get on :) | 21:44 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Ah yes, well this should do it. | 21:44 |
| tritium | MichaelScott: you asked for a reason to switch. That is an answer to your question, not an attack. | 21:44 |
| bariga | still thanks favro | 21:44 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: no, after it, AFAIK | 21:44 |
| Oxygenfa1 | So is this it ? I can't do anything ? It's over ? I reinstall and configure ubuntu all over again ? | 21:44 |
| MichaelScott | i personally think the only learning experience you'll get out of ubuntu is learning how to pronounce a new word: ubuntu | 21:45 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: im confused on how to install it though, the site said i could just click on phex.jar and it should open | 21:45 |
| Oxygenfa1 | I got into this in the first place looking for help | 21:45 |
| tritium | MichaelScott: time to stay on topic, please. | 21:45 |
| Oxygenfa1 | ANd some jerk gave me this code | 21:45 |
| geirha | moglenstar: Ok, do you know how far into the installation it gets? | 21:45 |
| Odd-rationale | thomc: if you have any issues, go ahead an /join #fluxbox | 21:45 |
| Fat | I am attempting to batch rename some files but when I issue the command in the terminal I get the following " reading filenames from STDIN " then nothing,..... Any suggestinns?? | 21:45 |
| momesana | MichaelScott, , tritium: flamewars won't benefit non of us | 21:45 |
| hanak | anyone know how to use software line deamontools | 21:45 |
| favro | bariga: hmmm I am still using dapper - there might be mpg321 | 21:45 |
| guntbert | MichaelScott: don't you get the feeling to be slightly off topic ? :) | 21:45 |
| leslieviljoen | What was LjL suggesting? "sudo apt-get install gpart ; sudo gpart -b ~/mbr_backup -W /dev/sda /dev/sda" - what does that do? | 21:45 |
| hanak | does ubuntu have also soft like that | 21:45 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Well, it's normally best to run jars in the terminal, in Linux. | 21:45 |
| Prose | I can't get the keyring to stop asking for password when connecting to wi-fi | 21:45 |
| thomc | Odd-rationale: thanks... will do | 21:45 |
| momesana | MichaelScott, both distros are good and they cater for different sort of users | 21:45 |
| tritium | momesana: hence my call for him to return to the topic | 21:46 |
| momesana | they have both their strength and weaknesses | 21:46 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: im not completly sure how to do that | 21:46 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Ill paste bin it one second | 21:46 |
| CorpusCallosum | i have a problem about the sound, if i play a vide from browser first, then i cannot play from my computer it is interesting. how can i fix it any idea for that ? | 21:46 |
| hklaveren | hi, i have one server ubuntu 6.. | 21:46 |
| moglenstar | geirha, It's during the "Install the base system" part of the install. It fails to find a suitable kernel for my Cyrix II (6x86/i686) CPU. | 21:46 |
| Oxygenfa1 | http://pastebin.com/m6beff564 | 21:46 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: http://pastebin.com/m6beff564 | 21:46 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: looks like it might be creating a backup of the mbr? | 21:46 |
| bonk | how do you mount a bin/cue with the mount command? | 21:46 |
| Odd-rationale | bariga: you can also try sox, which can also play mp3, ogg, flac, etc... | 21:47 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: Once java is installed, go into a terminal, navigate to wherever your jar file is and type: sudo java -jar | 21:47 |
| bariga | favro: seems like it doens't include any of these names.. but i'll look for the source code and install it | 21:47 |
| Juhaz | leslieviljoen, it can be after it, but very rarely. usually it's at the very end of the MBR. | 21:47 |
| momesana | tritium, I think convenience is a relative term. Ubuntu is definetly more convenient for starters or peaple who won't to quickly set up a gentoo box to get some job done. But developers or people who want full control will find gentoo more convenient | 21:47 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: will synaptic install java completly? | 21:47 |
| Odd-rationale | !info sox | bariga | 21:47 |
| ubottu | bariga: sox (source: sox): Swiss army knife of sound processing. In component universe, is optional. Version 14.0.0-5 (hardy), package size 59 kB, installed size 176 kB | 21:47 |
| momesana | it's just ... there is no use in debating stuff like that | 21:47 |
| bariga | Odd-rationale: can you also play platlist | 21:47 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: but after the first 512 bytes | 21:47 |
| momesana | it's like discussing what sort of ice cream tastes better | 21:47 |
| Juhaz | leslieviljoen, no. | 21:47 |
| tritium | momesana: the same development tools are available on ubuntu. | 21:47 |
| bobertdos | MetalNate: *java -jar <jarfile> -- and yes, it should | 21:47 |
| Odd-rationale | bariga: if you want something like that, then try mocp or ncmpc.... | 21:47 |
| Juhaz | leslieviljoen, bytes 446-510. | 21:47 |
| bariga | thx :) | 21:47 |
| Odd-rationale | !info moc | 21:48 |
| ubottu | moc (source: moc): ncurses based console audio player. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.5.0~alpha2-2 (hardy), package size 198 kB, installed size 620 kB | 21:48 |
| MetalNate | bobertdos: thanks, when it's done i'l let you know if it's working | 21:48 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: but you'd still need to reinstall grub too, even if that were so | 21:48 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen , I didnt edit any of the partitions yet. I have not selected 1 2 or 3 . I was waiting for further instruction from this room | 21:48 |
| deph | My sound under Ubuntu is only a whisper although the volume is at maximum... anyone any ideas? | 21:48 |
| momesana | tritium, yes but gentoo has some benefits. You can write ebuilds very quickly and try out different versions of softwarepackages with your developed software | 21:48 |
| komputes | deph: did you go through edit>preferences and turn on all devices? | 21:48 |
| deph | komputes: yes i did | 21:48 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: I see you are right | 21:48 |
| bobertdos | deph: Did you check your levels using alsamixer in the terminal? | 21:49 |
| tritium | momesana: as you can do with source .deb packages. | 21:49 |
| hanak | does anyone know how i can run a dvd that is on my hdd to run it | 21:49 |
| momesana | tritium, that is just by masking different versions of a package. And developers are usually the sort of people who want full control anyway | 21:49 |
| deph | bobertdos: alsamixer gives me some error :-\ | 21:49 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: I don't know how to answer on the partition question | 21:49 |
| momesana | tritium, yes. But I think ebuilds are more accessible and easier to work with | 21:49 |
| komputes | deph: how are you testing sound output? | 21:49 |
| Juhaz | leslieviljoen, certainly, but he can't reinstall grub until after he has restored the partitions, and if he has important work on the disk, making it readable is whole lot more important than making it bootable. | 21:49 |
| momesana | tritium, rpm are for example really really awkward to create | 21:49 |
| bobertdos | deph: and what error would that be? | 21:49 |
| komputes | deph: you are running hardy? | 21:49 |
| bariga | Odd-rationale: thanks big time :) | 21:49 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: thanks, I understand | 21:50 |

| Oxygenfa1 | SO its alllll over | 21:51 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: you need to be patient, mistakes here can make things worse | 21:51 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Yeah, I'm backing up my stuff now | 21:51 |
| quaal | how do i put 1680x1050 in the dropdown menu of "monitor resoltion settings" resolution. | 21:51 |
| bobertdos | deph: Let's try to give komputes a more definitive answer. In the terminal, type lsb_release -a | 21:51 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Luckly I didnt reboot | 21:51 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: always a good plan | 21:51 |
| bonk | hey, how do you mount a bin file with the mount command? same as mounting an iso with -o loop flag? | 21:51 |
| momesana | tritium, I guess when ubuntu had been available a few years earlier I wouldn't have switched to gentoo. But nowadays it's different. ubuntu is there, easy to use and has updated packages. that wasn't like that a few years ago. debian was made up of old packages. testing and unstable were really unstable and sort of unusable. Gentoo was very clean and uptodate those days | 21:51 |
| geirha | moglenstar: Hm, don't know what the installer tries to do to "detect" which kernel needs to be installed. I think your best bet is to report it as a bug on launchpad. | 21:51 |
| sledge | Odd-rationale: i need to get to it from here | 21:51 |
| sledge | they have the server | 21:51 |
| Oxygenfa1 | A good chance to install ubuntu 64 this time around | 21:51 |
| turtle_ | i cant get separate x screen working. Only twin view works. Any ideas? | 21:51 |
| turtle_ | i love 64 | 21:52 |
| tritium | momesana: let's move on, please | 21:52 |
| Odd-rationale | sledge: the basic syntax is "ssh <username>@<ipaddress>" | 21:52 |
| Oxygenfa1 | THanks for all the help guys, and putting up with my whinning | 21:52 |
| moglenstar | geirha, I'll consider expending my time with that. Thanks for the help | 21:52 |
| momesana | glyph_, nope. issung -s gives me the links where the packages should be downloaded. That's what I had before. I want to know how to do the equivalent of emerge --sync from the gentoo world | 21:52 |
| deph | komputes: bobertdos: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy | 21:52 |
| Oxygenfa1 | I;d love to find out where the guy lives though who gave me the bad code ; ) | 21:52 |
| momesana | tritium, as I said I am against leading such flamewars. It's a matter of taste. So let's get my apt-get update thing right :-P | 21:52 |
| ^DeathKiNG^ | rg | 21:53 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Also I can put home on its own partician | 21:53 |
| Oxygenfa1 | My HD isn't screwed though is it ? Can I install another os ? | 21:53 |
| Juhaz | leslieviljoen, Oxygenfa1 I'm not really familiar with gpart, but I might be able to walk you through recreating those with fdisk | 21:53 |
| Oxygenfa1 | II dont have fdisk | 21:54 |
| Oxygenfa1 | I have an xp cd (legit) | 21:54 |
| turtle_ | define legit | 21:54 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: try typing fdisk :-) | 21:54 |
| momesana | On gentoo I would download the portage tree as a tarball and unpack it to /usr. That would provide me with a new updated archive of recipies of how to fetch and install software. I sort of want to do the same with ubuntu :) | 21:54 |
| geirha | moglenstar: My guess is that that chipset is so rare now a days that no one has tested it. | 21:55 |
| ubuntu | hi every one | 21:55 |
| turtle_ | hi | 21:55 |
| komputes | deph: now the output of the command $ lspci | grep -i audio | 21:55 |
| Oxygenfa1 | lol, I own it: ) it came with my computer | 21:55 |
| ubuntu | i had problem in my sound | 21:55 |
| turtle_ | nice name | 21:55 |
| Oxygenfa1 | long time ago | 21:55 |
| Oxygenfa1 | lonnnnnng time ago lol | 21:55 |
| ompaul | !timebasedreleases | momesana not really how it is done | 21:55 |
| ubottu | momesana not really how it is done: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 21:55 |
| bobertdos | deph: hmm...........and you have already tested your sound with bot Alsa and Pulse, yes? | 21:55 |
| Oxygenfa1 | ok I have fdisk | 21:55 |
| tritium | momesana: you can "apt-get source <packagename>" | 21:55 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: Oh, you may have to say 'n' when asked if you want to edit the partiton | 21:55 |
| HNSZ | Can someone please tell me if a Cor2duo t5670 is a 64 or 32 bits processor? | 21:55 |
| momesana | ubottu, yes. But there must be updates | 21:55 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:55 |
| momesana | security updates | 21:55 |
| deph | bobertdos: I don't know what these programs are... so no, i didn't | 21:55 |
| momesana | and I have added some new repos | 21:55 |
| ompaul | tritium, however that is just the current "supported one" | 21:56 |
| ubuntu | look my problem is that my sound card main out line place dont work | 21:56 |
| tritium | ompaul: correct | 21:56 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: gpart seems to guess the partitions in pastebin and write them to a new partition table | 21:56 |
| komputes | deph: what bobertdos recommens is to go to system > preferences > sound and changing the audio management | 21:56 |
| momesana | in order to install codecs etc and now it wants to update the list of servers etc. but I have no internet connection | 21:56 |
| ubuntu | in windows i change it and work with another place | 21:56 |
| deph | 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 21:56 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: seems to be offering to edit the guesses | 21:56 |
| MDman | I have a small problem with a usb disk (it is a sata in a box) that its format in ext3. When I plug, the disk mount, the disk not access for writing. How can i change for fix this problem? | 21:56 |
| ubuntu | but i cant in ubuntu | 21:56 |
| ompaul | tritium, I read that as an upgrade to latest | 21:56 |
| jonathan_ | hi! | 21:56 |
| === ChoboMog is now known as m000gle | ||
| sekyourbox | Using Brasero, how do I copy a CD with only one cd-rom currently installed. I went to disc copy, and the Copy option is greyed out. do I have to make a "file image"? | 21:56 |
| leslieviljoen | Juhaz: the -W should write it's guesses back to the device, and should be all done | 21:57 |
| jonathan_ | why is the update for gimp still not availible allthough 2.6 has been published 2 days ago? | 21:57 |
| momesana | tritium, that problem I can't even find qt in the aptitute. I need it for development | 21:57 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: what happens if you choose 'n' when asked if you want to edit? | 21:57 |
| jonathan_ | the latest version in the repros is 2.4 | 21:57 |
| momesana | tritium, I guess that's because I didn't have all those thirdparty repos activated | 21:57 |
| momesana | tritium, I've activated them now but apt needs to fetch some files in order to update it's list of packages | 21:58 |
| momesana | list of available packages | 21:58 |
| ompaul | momesana, what version are you using? | 21:58 |
| bobertdos | jonathan_: Ubuntu does not roll out updates for applications mid-cycle unless they are bug or security fixes. | 21:58 |
| momesana | 8.04 | 21:58 |
| deph | komputes: bobertdos: The settings were on autodetect. Pulse doesn't output anything when i click on test, ALSA outputs a sine tone but also only at the volume of a whisper | 21:58 |
| momesana | ompaul, 8.04 | 21:58 |
| sekyourbox | :( | 21:58 |
| ompaul | momesana, so you should not have to add repos - third party repos may not be made to a good enough standard to not break your box | 21:59 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen:Unable to open n | 21:59 |
| jonathan_ | 2.6 is a stable release! | 21:59 |
| momesana | ompaul, I am from gentoo. Thinks are broken there all the time so that's not a problem | 21:59 |
| momesana | ompaul, I just need to get something like Qt working | 21:59 |
| RediXe | Any able to help me install a scanner | 22:00 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: on, when gpart asks if you want to 'edit this table', type 'n' | 22:00 |
| jonathan_ | and i would like to use it so there should be the possibility to update even if it isn't recomended! | 22:00 |
| arnath02 | how is 8.10 shaping up? hopefully it will be slightly better then the 8.04 release? :D | 22:00 |
| momesana | ompaul, not having qt or multimedia codecs is a no go for me. | 22:00 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: if it's still waiting for input, press ctrl-c and run the command again | 22:00 |
| ompaul | momesana, sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install qt* as you want | 22:00 |
| momesana | ompaul, and I've set up some ubuntu boxes (when I was still in germany and had a 2Mbs internet link) with all that stuff and it was quite stable | 22:00 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: I type fdisk and it just gives me the options | 22:00 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: I don't really know how to use it | 22:01 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: no, not fdisk, the gpart command | 22:01 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: gpart guesses partition tables | 22:01 |
| thiebaude | arnath02:i'am using 8.10 and i have no problems | 22:01 |
| momesana | ompaul, how do I do an apt-get update without a direct internet link. That is my problem here. If I was connected to the internet then I wouldn't be asking here ;) | 22:01 |
| Oxygenfa1 | "Activate which partition (1..4, q to quit) : " | 22:01 |
| deph | ... | 22:01 |
| bobertdos | arnath02: That's better to ask in #ubuntu+1. We are hoping of course, that some of Hardy's bugs get cleaned out. | 22:01 |
| ompaul | !apt-zip | momesana | 22:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-zip | 22:01 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: no, get out of fdisk (q?) | 22:01 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: thats what it said. | 22:01 |
| Oxygenfa1 | I did | 22:02 |
| arnath02 | bobertdos: ah ye forgot bout that channel :> | 22:02 |
| momesana | ompaul, that's better :-D | 22:02 |
| momesana | let me check what apt-zip does | 22:02 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: and ran the gpart command again? | 22:02 |
| ompaul | momesana, don't know if apt-zip is what you want | 22:02 |
| momesana | ubottu, me too. never heard of it before | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:02 |
| thiebaude | i'm going to stick with 8.10 | 22:02 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: yes. I selected N | 22:02 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: Then it is asking me what table I want to edit | 22:02 |
| ompaul | !intrepid | thiebaude | 22:02 |
| ubottu | thiebaude: 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 30th! | 22:02 |
| Oxygenfa1 | I dont know what to do | 22:03 |
| thiebaude | yes 27 more days | 22:03 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: oh, so gpart is asking which partition to activate? | 22:03 |
| momesana | ompaul, I just want to know how to update the internet package list of ubuntu. So I can then do apt-get install --print-uris <packagename> and get the list of updated packages for my package | 22:03 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: (not edit, activate) | 22:03 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Not only that, for some reason gnome is crashing on me and I cant make a back up folder anymore. when I log in it freezes. | 22:03 |
| ompaul | momesana, requires internet access | 22:03 |
| Oxygenfa1 | yes | 22:03 |
| bobertdos | !sound > ubuntu | 22:03 |
| ubottu | ubuntu, please see my private message | 22:03 |

| thiebaude | !alsa | 22:03 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Ill paste bin what it asks me | 22:03 |
| ubottu | 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 | 22:03 |

| BrokenPipe | Upgrading to 8.10 broke the Fn key on my apple keyboard, I can't find similar complaints on the forums, any clues? | 22:04 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: activate 1 | 22:04 |
| thiebaude | !pulseaudio | 22:04 |
| 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 | 22:04 |
| ompaul | momesana, else get a full mirror | 22:04 |
| Coppershade-org^ | I'd use the resize, but don't want to waste 10GB on swap | 22:04 |
| momesana | ompaul, yes. But it should also be doable in some hackish way. After all apt-get also downloads and untars the stuff to some location | 22:04 |
| thiebaude | lol | 22:04 |
| Coppershade-org^ | please hep!! | 22:04 |
| ompaul | momesana, and bring that with you | 22:04 |

| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: http://pastebin.com/m3c2bfa3c that is correct url | 22:05 |
| bobertdos | Coppershade-org^: Well, you could resize manually, (even though that's riskier). Then at least you could make the sizes whatever you wanted. | 22:05 |
| sekyourbox | I just had a tick on me :| | 22:05 |
| momesana | ompaul, yes but that works only if the package is in the current list. my current installation doesn't even list qt as a download option | 22:05 |

| m000gle | Hello. I've recently found out that my university network will be putting a limit on the maximum number of connections to the internet/peers in the span of an hour (mainly to cut down on people's BitTorrent usage). I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way in Ubuntu 8.04 to monitor how many of these “connections” are occurring, similar to how the System Monitor can display bandwidth usage in the Network History. | 22:06 |
| ompaul | momesana, so you need a second box with good connection or you can get each package really slowly | 22:06 |
| momesana | ompaul, it first has to get the list of installable packages from those newly added repos before I can do anything usefull using apt-get dpkg etc. | 22:06 |
| bobertdos | deph: Well, have you read the sound wiki yet? I did call that for someone else, but you should probably read it too. | 22:06 |
| cedric_ | Please help me... sorry I don't speak good english i'm frensh | 22:06 |
| momesana | ompaul, I would go to some internet cafe and download the files there :) | 22:06 |
| ompaul | momesana, so that needs apt-get update | 22:06 |
| nanda | Hey I'm trying to install libsvn-javahl it says I need libsvn-java but it's already installed. What should I do? | 22:07 |
| momesana | ompaul, but I can't take my computer along with me to do the apt-get update | 22:07 |
| phoenix_ | how does hibernate work under linux with a laptop? | 22:07 |
| momesana | ompaul, I need to simulate apt-get update somehow. | 22:07 |
| matreya6 | phoenix_, Just like on any other machine, just check which modes your chipset supports under Ubuntu | 22:08 |
| phoenix_ | how do I find that out? | 22:08 |
| PostersandGuitar | Everything. I. Say. Here. Is. Recorded. | 22:08 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: If you want to be absolutely sure you're targeting the right drive, run sudo fdisk -l to figure out which drive is which before running the installer. | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | hi | 22:08 |
| ompaul | momesana, then you dial up and do your apt-get update when that is done you need to figure what you want from the cafe which you get from pool.ubuntu.org there is no other way I can think of that is as effective | 22:08 |
| Oxygenfa1 | ** Error: rereading partition table: Device or resource busy. | 22:08 |

| hoonteke | question: how do I change the video output ... driver/library in totem? all the colors are wrong (almost negative) | 22:09 |
| momesana | if I just knew the rules I'd write some script to do that | 22:09 |
| ompaul | momesana, yeah I been on ubuntu for years I know this - you need to do this albeit slowly | 22:09 |
| nanda | hey I have been trying to install libsvn-javahl for eclipse. When I run sudo apt-get install libsvn-javahl I get this: http://pastebin.com/m57f57270 What should I do???? | 22:09 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: no, try the grub-install now | 22:09 |
| hoonteke | compared with vlc which displays them properly | 22:09 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: remember sudo | 22:09 |
| matreya6 | phoenix_, you can always try to go into sleep mode..(After you close all your files) If it doesn't wake up from that, you'll know it wont support it. It will start after the second time of rebooting though | 22:09 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: Well, I would still run fdisk, and use that information to make sure the installer targets the right drive. | 22:09 |
| momesana | ompaul, slowly is ok. it may take hours. That is not an issue (though a little expensive due the dial up connection) | 22:09 |
| PostersandGuitar | I can't run fdisk without linux. I can't install inux without targetting the right drive. | 22:10 |
| momesana | ompaul, I just need to know the procedure | 22:10 |
| hoonteke | It's XVideo vs X11 in VLC. XVideo is what displays the improperly, but I want to use gnome and totem. Any suggestions? | 22:10 |
| Oxygenfa1 | "Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub" | 22:10 |
| ompaul | momesana, do this and come back to me sudo apt-get update | 22:10 |
| Oxygenfa1 | ok | 22:10 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Thats good | 22:10 |
| momesana | ompaul, I've downloaded all the files | 22:10 |
| momesana | I have a list of Packages.bz2 etc. files now | 22:11 |
| matreya6 | phoenix_, It sounds a bit simple, I know, but it's the fastest way to test it. You can also google for your chipset and acpi / apm | 22:11 |
| PostersandGuitar | Bobertdos: I can't get the linux to run fdisk without installing on the right drive.... | 22:11 |
| geronimo9 | join #conky | 22:11 |
| ompaul | momesana, then do this: sudo apt-get install foo and when you do that it will tell you what packages you need but you should also do sudo apt-get upgrade for security fixes | 22:11 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: one sec | 22:11 |
| momesana | ompaul, I'll take them to the ubuntu box and see if the name to which the file should be renamed can be extracted from the files contained there and if so I'll put them there. Wish me luck | 22:12 |

| jasunto | has anyone used os X heavily before? | 22:12 |
| kitty_ | someone want to lend me a hand getting my windows install to boot again? | 22:12 |
| thiebaude | no,jasunto | 22:12 |
| jasunto | i am trying to find an app like caffeine for ubuntu | 22:12 |
| PostersandGuitar | kitty_ What did you do? | 22:12 |
| ompaul | jasunto, ask what you want to ask - polling will get you nowhere | 22:13 |
| bobertdos | PostersandGuitar: Oh, that's right, the UbuntuStudio disk probably doesn't have all the same packages installed. Well, if they are two physically separate drives, they will probably be named something like sda1 (for the first drive) and sdb1 (for the second). Usually, it will show their sizes and so forth, so hopefully you'll be able to tell them apart. | 22:13 |
| matreya6 | cedric_, Are you sure you need ndiswrapper? You will be submitting your system to possible bugs in a windows driver... | 22:13 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: try sudo hexdump -C -x -n 512 /dev/sda | 22:13 |
| PostersandGuitar | bobert: thanks | 22:13 |
| matreya6 | jasunto, I also use OS X | 22:13 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: just to make sure there are no big zero areas now | 22:13 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: oh, leave out the -C | 22:13 |
| kitty_ | i had dapper installed, everything worked fine, couldn't upgrade to fiesty (for new apps i was trying to use) used the 8.04 installer cd and upgraded, windows shows up in grub but doesn't boot anymore | 22:13 |
| jasunto | caffeine would let you click and icon and your computer wouldnt go to screen saver or standby or anything and click to deactivate | 22:13 |
| jasunto | no settings needed | 22:13 |
| jasunto | keep awake or let it back to normal | 22:14 |
| kitty_ | grub just says "Starting ..." when i choose or type in the commands for the windows partitions | 22:14 |
| Oxygenfa1 | ok | 22:14 |

| cedric_ | matreya6, but with ndiswrapper it's ok | 22:16 |
| thiebaude | sekyourbox:low on system resources | 22:16 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: why did it leave out the middle part? Line 3? | 22:16 |
| sekyourbox | I dont need anything "pretty", but GNOME works fine for now | 22:17 |
| Oxygenfa1 | ? | 22:17 |
| Oxygenfa1 | I don't even know what that means | 22:17 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Maybe its my computers restore partician? | 22:17 |
| Oxygenfa1 | partition | 22:17 |
| matreya6 | cedric_, If you need that driver, you'll have to first search for the Windows driver package for it as it contains the driver used by NDIS-wrapper | 22:17 |

| pellegrino | ciao a tutti! un consiglio: quali parametri devo modificare nel router per attivare streamer one ?? grazie | 22:18 |
| kitty_ | so i have a working windows install, is there a way to boot it directly without using ntldr from grub? | 22:18 |
| thiebaude | ahh fvwm | 22:18 |

| thiebaude | hollerith:have you used amiwm? | 22:18 |
| marcc | how do I undo apt-get remove? | 22:18 |
| Oxygenfa1 | THats how it looks in my terminal | 22:18 |
| hollerith | i got several ubuntu gutsy and hardy boxen but back in the day i use to hsve fvwm on gentoo | 22:18 |
| hollerith | nope aint used that | 22:18 |
| jasunto | temporary screensaver preventer? | 22:19 |
| bobertdos | kitty_: You mean without using the Grub menu.......or? | 22:19 |
| cedric_ | matreya6, I've windows driver... and i ... install the driver with ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper -i rt2870.inf) | 22:19 |
| hollerith | i just apt-get fvwm and i get a session on gdm but when i choose it i get gnome | 22:19 |
| thiebaude | hollerith:in amiwm, to open programs you use the terminal | 22:19 |
| kitty_ | my normal menu.lst entry is to boot the partition that windows is on, i.e. it loads up ntldr and then goes from there | 22:19 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: mine: http://pastebin.com/m3fb394c3 | 22:19 |
| kitty_ | is there a way to bypass that and just boot windows directly ? | 22:19 |
| cedric_ | matreya6, with ndiswrapper -l now i can see rt2870 : driver installed | 22:19 |
| cedric_ | device (148F:2870) present | 22:19 |
| Oxygenfa1 | lol | 22:20 |
| danbh_intrepid | kitty_: why do you want that? | 22:20 |
| Oxygenfa1 | so my hd is over | 22:20 |
| Oxygenfa1 | lol | 22:20 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: no man, don't be so dramatic! | 22:20 |
| hollerith | yep i don't mind that i've been beryl and compiz and all but was feeling retro tonight and .. | 22:20 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Sorry | 22:20 |
| thiebaude | !amiwm | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amiwm | 22:20 |
| matreya6 | cedric_, OK, that's a start, what doesn't work yet? | 22:20 |
| Oxygenfa1 | :) | 22:20 |
| thiebaude | lol | 22:20 |
| kitty_ | cause somehow i managed to mess up ntldr and everytime i try to use the menu entry or type the commands manually grub just says "Starting..." and freezes | 22:20 |
| leslieviljoen | I think it's the best you can do. Backup as much as you can (important stuff first) and reboot | 22:20 |
| PhotonSCX | sry, charging laptop battery... | 22:21 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Yeah, I'm tar ing a folder, gonna burn it to DVD , then download ubuntu 64, burn the ISO | 22:21 |
| Oxygenfa1 | And start over again | 22:21 |
| thiebaude | wow | 22:21 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Thanks anyway though ! : ) | 22:21 |
| bobertdos | kitty_: Pastebin your menu.lst and we can try to help you clean it up. After that, if you still want Windows to be the default, there are a couple ways to do that. | 22:21 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Man lesson learned, don;t trust 4chan | 22:21 |
| PostersandGuitar | Audio interface compatible with Ubuntu Studio? | 22:21 |
| danbh_intrepid | kitty_: that. sucks. No idea, I suck with grub. I can't even get the fix-it docs to work at all | 22:21 |
| kitty_ | i don't want windows to be the default i want it to boot | 22:21 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: no, it should work now | 22:21 |
| kansan | what is the best, most readable font (that hopefully is installed on ubuntu hardy) ? | 22:22 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: I'm just saying backup for safety, then you should be able to boot | 22:22 |
| DaveKong | When setting up partitions with gparted how do you determine where along the disk the partitions will end up? | 22:22 |
| kansan | what is the best, most readable font for programming (that hopefully is installed on ubuntu hardy) ? | 22:22 |
| matreya6 | Oxygenfa1, Here's a tip I just heard a little while ago. If you have a failing HDD it's probably misaligned. You can put your HDD in a plastic freezer bag and put it it in the freezer so the parts shrink again. | 22:22 |
| PostersandGuitar | Interesting. I would need a much smaller hard drive if I didn't waste space. | 22:22 |
| jasunto | how do i quick stop screensaver when sitting next to ubuntu | 22:22 |
| jasunto | ? | 22:22 |
| leslieviljoen | matreya6: you need to boil it after taking it out the freezer again though! | 22:23 |
| kitty_ | http://pastebin.com/d7043da3d | 22:23 |
| Oxygenfa1 | really ? | 22:23 |
| thiebaude | omg | 22:23 |
| Oxygenfa1 | ok cool ! Do you think my HD is mis aligned ? | 22:23 |
| matreya6 | Oxygenfa1, after that, you can reinstall it in your box again and you have a working HDD for a while, until the misalignment reoccurs. | 22:24 |
| PostersandGuitar | What's a misaligned HD? | 22:24 |
| DaveKong | jasunto: system >> preferences >> screen saver to adjust settings, normally moving a mouse or keyboard stroke prevents the screen saver from activating | 22:24 |
| matreya6 | Oxygenfa1, In the old days of FAT, HDD's used to fail because of a head-crah. Now, they fail because of overheating | 22:24 |
| cedric_ | matreya6, ... sorry speak a little bit of english... I can * (try) sudo modprobe -r nom_du_module_à_backlister | 22:25 |
| cedric_ | but what's the modul? | 22:25 |
| matreya6 | PostersandGuitar, a misaligned HDD has a reading head that is not aligned anymore to the tracks of your HDD. | 22:25 |
| cedric_ | bcm43xxx it's not good! | 22:25 |
| thiebaude | !modul | 22:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about modul | 22:25 |
| leslieviljoen | matreya6: perhaps you should reign in the advice there a little, some people don't have crazy filters | 22:26 |
| danbh_intrepid | kitty_: I have an alternate suggestion, fix ntldr. Interested? | 22:26 |
| jasunto | i want something to temporarily prevet screensaver lock | 22:26 |
| hanak | how i can change a theme? | 22:26 |
| kitty_ | yes but i don't have a bootable windows partition or cd now so i can't just "fdisk /mbr" | 22:26 |
| bobertdos | kitty_: Well, the file is fine. Since this happened due to a corrupt ntldr, if you've got a Windows disk, I'd use the recovery console to issue fixmbr and fixboot. | 22:26 |
| danbh_intrepid | kitty_: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318728 or http://www.lockergnome.com/blade/2006/12/12/ntldr-is-missing-how-to-repair/ | 22:26 |
| favro | !messagethebot > thiebaude | 22:26 |

| matreya6 | leslieviljoen, lol, this advice seems valid enough as I got it from a friend who works atMaxtor | 22:26 |
| bobertdos | ktty: Would you happen to have a floppy dirve? :p | 22:26 |
| thiebaude | hanak:right click on desktop | 22:27 |

| matreya6 | leslieviljoen, did you? Tell me about it. | 22:27 |
| hklaveren | Hey! can someone help me. I'm using UBUNTU 6 and i got a problem when it asks the login/password. When i type "root" it goes back to the user field. What can i do?? | 22:27 |
| hanak | thiebaude: i found a osx theme | 22:27 |
| jasunto | i can make script to move mouse cursor every 1 minute or so? | 22:27 |
| ved | UDF is the format of magicISO | 22:28 |
| TurboPotato | lol so many questions so few answers | 22:28 |
| bobertdos | hklaveren: Ubuntu forbids root logins into X. | 22:28 |
| sledge | can anyone tell me what the directory permissions for /home should be i think i messed it up i typed sudo chmod 700 home | 22:28 |
| ved | once u unzip in magicISO | 22:28 |
| hklaveren | bobertdos what should i do ? | 22:28 |
| Olwe | hklaveren: you cant boot as root... | 22:28 |
| ved | UDF will turn to iso | 22:28 |
| Olwe | *login as root, sorry | 22:28 |
| === snowniak is now known as Snowniak | ||
| leslieviljoen | matreya6: well it began when someone followed crazy advice and zeroed their partition table... | 22:29 |
| bobertdos | hklaveren: You should login as a regular user :p | 22:29 |
| matreya6 | leslieviljoen, ouch, that's pretty destructive as long as you don't have a backup, | 22:29 |
| bobertdos | hklaveren: You should have been walked through creating a user account during installation. | 22:30 |
| TidusBlade | ved: It's a .ISO and UDF is Universal Disc Format I beilieve, a DVD filesystem that allows storage of files larger than 2GB | 22:30 |
| _haywire_ | how do i copy and paste from the desktop to /opt ? i keep getting error no permission | 22:31 |
| TurboPotato | haywire: you need to be sudo | 22:31 |
| DaveKong | jasunto: why don't you just turn off "enter Screensaver when idle" and make a shortcut to that or button to toggle that option? | 22:31 |
| TurboPotato | err uhhh you need to use sudo | 22:31 |
| _haywire_ | turbopotato no way to do that from gui? have to be done in terminal? | 22:31 |
| leslieviljoen | matreya6: there's a guy suggesting your freezer idea here: http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html, but I would never try that | 22:31 |
| TurboPotato | ditch that gui and use that command line | 22:32 |
| PhotonSCX | How do I partition a 10GB partition into 9+1? | 22:32 |
| TurboPotato | don't be afraid | 22:32 |

| _haywire_ | ok... thank you | 22:32 |

| leslieviljoen | matreya6: ok, I wouldn't do it but you may! anyway Oxygenfa1was not having any failing hardware. | 22:35 |

| MatizMac | You can reinstall system and before install new one you can split your hdd :P | 22:37 |

| ompaul | PhotonSCX, do an automatic install, then you will see how it works and you can tweek it soon | 22:43 |
| pjotr | gnu/linux games http://www.playdeb.net/ | 22:43 |
| miso | kl4m: but i haven't got Wine | 22:43 |
| matreya6 | cedric_, Actually I tried using a Ralink card myself, the 2500 series and it was very hard to get anything working properly, even with native drivers. I never got WPA2 working.,, | 22:43 |
| Kl4m | miso: wine is a translator instead of an emulator. The performance hit is minimal and sometimes inexistant. | 22:43 |
| turtle_ | i need help finding snes9x-x that I just installed and cant find. | 22:43 |
| Kl4m | miso: you can't play WoW on Linux without wine. | 22:43 |
| PhotonSCX | yes, but as a programmer, I'd like to know beforehand that "resizing" an existing partition with tons of work stuff on it won' t destroy client data ;) | 22:44 |
| DaveKong | PhotonSCX: I must go now, sorry. Look here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ | 22:44 |
| matreya6 | turtle_, it is probably in in /usr/games | 22:44 |
| PhotonSCX | I'd prefer to split up the 10GB into 8+2 or 9+1 | 22:44 |
| PhotonSCX | :) | 22:44 |
| PhotonSCX | DaveKong | 22:44 |
| nickz327 | anyone? | 22:44 |
| PhotonSCX | isn't gparted a LINUX partition tool= | 22:44 |
| turtle_ | matreya6: k, ill check | 22:44 |
| nickz327 | amarok deleting songs from my play list upon playing? | 22:44 |
| PhotonSCX | which means: I need LINUX first? | 22:44 |
| dasdajs | any binary newsreader which can be used serverside? | 22:44 |
| matreya6 | turtle_, if you can find it there you can find any file with "find / -iname snes9x-x" | 22:45 |
| DaveKong | PhotonSCX: yes it is and it is the default one for ubuntu | 22:45 |
| miso | Kl4m: but i can't install wine before i am not administrator of computer | 22:45 |
| PhotonSCX | maybe I missed a commandline tool F-key on the livecd that will give me gparted? | 22:45 |
| bobertdos | nickz327: Are you sure your songs aren't just queued? | 22:45 |
| tnas08 | no i try to install awn-manager and it gives me this: “deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main” ? ? ? | 22:45 |
| ompaul | PhotonSCX, the live cd has it all there - just do it | 22:45 |
| PhotonSCX | I don't need to partition AFTER I install Ubuntu..... | 22:45 |
| PhotonSCX | gee | 22:45 |
| nickz327 | it only happens with one artest | 22:45 |
| PhotonSCX | did I get something wrong? | 22:45 |
| tnas08 | and this: E: Type '“deb' is not known on line 80 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read. | 22:46 |
| PhotonSCX | I can select something in the livecd menu and get a partitioning tool? | 22:46 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: still backing up | 22:46 |
| pius | is there an app for linux to capt video and sound with a webcam? | 22:46 |
| Oxygenfa1 | leslieviljoen: lol | 22:46 |
| ompaul | PhotonSCX, the install tool does it - your call if you want to use it or not | 22:46 |
| PhotonSCX | it does not. | 22:46 |
| leslieviljoen | Oxygenfa1: sorry, I have to be tough on you gullible people :-) | 22:46 |
| matreya6 | Oxygenfa1, sorry for the confusion I might have caused... | 22:46 |
| PhotonSCX | it asks for a root partition in Manual and then complains it needs a swap partition | 22:46 |
| PhotonSCX | no option to create one. | 22:47 |
| pan_ | anyone here use powertop | 22:47 |
| cedric_ | matreya6, i've wep... not wpa2... | 22:47 |
| ompaul | PhotonSCX, so you don't know what you are doing, let it do itself | 22:47 |
| PhotonSCX | thx ompaul | 22:47 |
| PhotonSCX | one "F5 partition tool" would let me show you that I know what I'm doing | 22:47 |
| PhotonSCX | windows style guides does NOT | 22:47 |
| tnas08 | anyone please? | 22:47 |
| bobertdos | nickz327: Hmm, not sure..........Are the songs from the one artist sitting on a separate partition? Are they different formats than the others?? | 22:47 |
| matreya6 | cedric_, there is a project to develop drivers for the Ralink RT2500 series for Linux, maybe they can give you some useful pointers on your card? | 22:48 |
| PhotonSCX | brb, going to reboot from the LiveCD, going to poke around every single menu on that cd | 22:48 |
| Kl4m | miso: It's possible to install wine in your user directory but seriously... You want to play WoW on a machine that you're not admin? | 22:48 |
| soenke | hi all. one question: is the 32bit server kernel with bigmem known to be slow? I use it on a desktop machine to make use of 4GB ram. but it seems to be much slower. anyone? | 22:49 |
| PhotonSCX | if there is no way to create a 2gb swap partition from D: there will be hell to pay for ompaul :):) | 22:49 |
| ompaul | PhotonSCX, ehh not what i suggested read your logs | 22:49 |
| PhotonSCX | my logs? | 22:49 |
| Teisei | Why does aMSN not start in system tray if it is set to launch on startup ? | 22:49 |
| yaddle | In 8.04 after i boot up if I open a web browser and view a flash video or audio then I am unable to hear sound coming from a local audio source (i.e mp3). | 22:49 |
| yaddle | but then if I open a local audio file first, i can then no longer hear audio in flash. I have to restart the computer to reset the whole process of this | 22:49 |
| ompaul | PhotonSCX, what I am saying to you, and this is the last time I will say it, is point it at that partition and let it go automatically | 22:49 |
| yaddle | any ideas? | 22:49 |
| miso | Kl4m: yes i am not admin on this machine bot i want play wow | 22:50 |
| matreya6 | turtle_, did you find your snes-emulator yet? | 22:50 |
| PhotonSCX | I did. in manual mode. it wanted a swap partition. I am not going to give it my vista parttition to use as swap. | 22:50 |
| turtle_ | matreya6: no | 22:50 |
| cedric_ | matreya6, yes why not... but it's rt2870 | 22:50 |
| ompaul | PhotonSCX, there is a click once and it works install tool when it boots up | 22:50 |
| miso | Kl4m: *but | 22:50 |
| bobertdos | yaddle: Sadly, this is a known bug in Pulseaudio. Our best suggestion is switching all the audio preferences and gstreamer-properties over to ALSA. | 22:50 |
| PhotonSCX | anyway brb | 22:51 |
| HyperFireRush | hey everyone | 22:51 |
| Kl4m | miso: you will have to install wine in your home directory. | 22:51 |
| yaddle | bobertdos: Everything is already switched to ALSA :( | 22:51 |
| === pen_ is now known as pen | ||
| matreya6 | turtle_, you can find the installed files for any package from Synaptic | 22:51 |
| bobertdos | yaddle: including gstreamer-properties? | 22:51 |
| yaddle | bobertdos: Hmm maybe not. How do I go about modifying the gstreamer-properties? | 22:52 |
| miso | Kl4m: but how instal wine in my home directory | 22:52 |
| bobertdos | yaddle: type it into the terminal or the run menu | 22:52 |
| yaddle | bobertdos: Ok thanks :) | 22:52 |
| matreya6 | turtle_, You can first search for the package in Synaptic. If it is installed you can right-click on the package and go to the tab [installed files] | 22:53 |
| === graham is now known as gray-- | ||
| HyperFireRush | I was wondering when you are in the terminal how can you get a list off all the software you can download | 22:54 |
| Kl4m | miso: Also, if by any chance it's to setup a bot, it will not work if the machine doesn't have X server and a 3D card. | 22:54 |
| yaddle | bobertdos: Yea, everything was already set to ALSA :( | 22:55 |
| bobertdos | HyperFireRush: I'm not sure you'd ever WANT a list of ALL the software you can install. That would be an awfully long list :D Why do you ask? | 22:55 |
| Kl4m | miso: you could ask #wine about a home directory install | 22:55 |
| bobertdos | yaddle: *sigh* Well, this is something that we are all praying will be fixed in 28 days :p | 22:55 |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | hello, why when I read some files on my ntfs partition I see characters like that: conexión ??? | 22:55 |
| yaddle | bobertdos: Haha ok no prob. Thanks for the help dude :) | 22:56 |
| HyperFireRush | well i have only had linux for about 2 days and dont really have any software and dont like any in the add remove section | 22:56 |
| miso | Kl4m: and how i can test if i have 3D card and x server? | 22:56 |
| Olwe | i installed ubuntu-server, then ran "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and i have no graphics | 22:56 |
| pjotr | HyperFireRus, you can start with apt-cache search a, then apt-cache search b.... | 22:56 |
| bobertdos | HyperFireRush: Use Synaptic or apt-cache. You will like either of those frontends much better. | 22:57 |
| Kl4m | HyperFireRush: "apt-cache pkgnames" but that list is not useful | 22:57 |
| HyperFireRush | gotcha | 22:57 |
| HyperFireRush | im going to mess around with it | 22:57 |
| HyperFireRush | but i had vista and i am never turning back LOL | 22:58 |
| HyperFireRush | i have ubuntu now | 22:58 |
| HyperFireRush | and love love love it | 22:58 |
| Kl4m | miso: if you installed the ubuntu desktop (not ubuntu server) you have X. the 3D card, well... look inside the computer?? | 22:58 |
| bariga | thats the spirit HyperFireRush | 22:58 |
| bobertdos | HyperFireRush: Well then, on behalf of us all, welcome to the Ubuntu community!! | 22:58 |
| RoflCoptr | ubuntu ftw | 22:58 |
| HyperFireRush | :) thanks do i get a cake? | 22:58 |
| HyperFireRush | LOL | 22:58 |
| RoflCoptr | the only that can cope with osx and vista | 22:59 |
| Radit | i'm trying to make a link to a file named wan, can anybody give me the command example? | 22:59 |
| _haywire_ | TurboPotato you still here? | 22:59 |
| yaddle | Ok so what is the command to restart audio? | 22:59 |
| komputes | yaddle: pulseaudio or alsa? | 23:00 |
| miso | Kl4m: i cant look into machine now.. | 23:00 |
| pan_ | man cpufreq-selector what is -c command for its not very clear? | 23:00 |
| yaddle | alsa | 23:00 |
| bobertdos | Radit: I prefer symbolic links, so: ln -s <path> creates a symlink to <path> in the current directory. man ln will give you the full documentation. | 23:00 |
| bariga | Radit: ln --help | 23:00 |

| Radit | Thanks guys :-) | 23:01 |
| bobertdos | trashguy: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:01 |
| trashguy | /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks liek a place holder | 23:01 |
| trashguy | doesnt actually list my driver | 23:01 |
| trashguy | like a normal xorg.conf | 23:01 |
| daklan | trashguy: your videocard driver should be listed under Devices | 23:02 |
| bobertdos | trashguy: You can use glxinfo (in the terminal) if you need to know specifics. | 23:02 |
| trashguy | yea | 23:02 |
| trashguy | just list the identifier | 23:02 |
| trashguy | Identifier "Configured Video Device" | 23:02 |

| alphaaa | what happens if your RAM is full and u have no swap ? | 23:04 |
| bariga | and thanks for the tip this is even better then the mpg123 i've had in mind | 23:04 |
| bobertdos | alphaaa: Then your system will start thrashing and performance will suck. | 23:04 |
| alphaaa | where does it get the needed memory space ? | 23:05 |
| === alberto is now known as Guest48706 | ||

| === david is now known as Guest15335 | ||
| quaal | how do i put 1680x1050 in the dropdown menu of "monitor resoltion settings" resolution. | 23:05 |
| alphaaa | if your RAM is full and system needs more memory, what does it do if there is no swap | 23:06 |
| bobertdos | !x | quaal | 23:06 |
| ubottu | quaal: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 23:06 |
| trashguy | it waits | 23:06 |
| trashguy | to dump memory when it done using whatever wa sin it | 23:06 |
| alphaaa | what if memory stays full | 23:07 |
| mike1504 | Is it possible tha I might have chown or chmoded somethng in the homes folder to cause the system not to boot, or to boot read-only | 23:07 |
| trashguy | alphaaa, it wont | 23:07 |
| bobertdos | alphaaa: It will try to garbage collect like mad and perform very slowly. If it can't free enough space, it will just deadlock. | 23:07 |
| === TroubleH1lix is now known as fooman | ||
| trashguy | yea or it will freeze | 23:08 |
| trashguy | i have some tard web devs | 23:08 |
| alphaaa | a lot of people on slashdot saying they're fine without swap | 23:08 |
| trashguy | that leik to run scripts that make mysql go beserk and it will chew through 4gigs of ram in 4gigs of swap in a heart beat | 23:08 |
| trashguy | alphaaa, they ar emorons | 23:08 |
| bobertdos | alphaaa: and yes, that is true. If you have enough ram, you often never need a swap (especially in Linux) | 23:09 |
| trashguy | unless its some high performance embedded thingy | 23:09 |
| daklan | alphaaa: you can get always create a swapfile in your filesystem | 23:09 |

| _haywire_ | need some help finishing up installing sunbird 0.9 on ubuntu 8.04: the sunbird files were copied over the /opt/sunbird and i followed this tutorial here http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/27/installing-sunbird-05-or-07-calendar-ubuntu-710/ .... the icon is in the menu and starts to load the application but then just dissappears | 23:10 |
| daklan | alphaaa: there are step-by-step instructions on the internet to do that. basically, it comes down to mounting a file as swap in /etc/fstab | 23:10 |
| alphaaa | cool | 23:10 |
| trashguy | if you did a base install of ubuntu | 23:11 |
| bobertdos | OsamaK: Because Ubuntu never rolls out updates mid-cycle unless they are bug or security fixes. | 23:11 |
| trashguy | u likely have a swap partition already | 23:11 |
| Odd-rationale | bariga: umm. id dont remember.... try man mocp | 23:11 |

| CaptainMurphy | but its worked on my computer before, and my graphics card isn't messed up becuase windows runs on a different partition | 23:13 |
| CaptainMurphy | Whats up with that? | 23:13 |
| bobertdos | OsamaK: That's what I mean. Ubuntu WILL NOT release updates to the repos unless they are bug/security fixes. All APT frontends draw from the repos, you see. So you will not be able to install them using apt-get, Synaptic, or any of the automatic fontends. | 23:13 |
| trashguy | be nice | 23:14 |
| shey | Whats the best way to run windows inside Ubuntu? Virtualbox or VMWare? | 23:14 |
| trashguy | if they put newer versio of vbox in the repos | 23:14 |

| trashguy | VirtualBox is pro | 23:14 |
| trashguy | i recommend | 23:14 |

| bobertdos | trashguy: I suppose that works too, just not Samba ;) | 23:18 |

| mike1504 | erUSUL are you in the room? | 23:20 |
| noriyuki | HOW?? I want to configure VIm so that every time i open a new archive it automacally run some commands | 23:20 |
| webwurst | formode: it will ask you to download samba/network-something. do that. but by enabeling the sharing of the directory you will get an error. permission or so. you must log out and in again. then share again and it will work. this is fixed in intrepid ;) | 23:20 |
| Odd-rationale | tigran: if you are using macchanger, then just add: pre-up macchanger -m 12:34:56:78:90:AB ath0 | 23:20 |

| SeaPhor | I need to put .avi files on a dvdr and play them on a dvd player on the TV, back in my windows days i used windvd so what could do that now? | 23:28 |

| formode | webwurst, Yes, I see it | 23:29 |
| bobertdos | techsupport: You mean smb.conf? Yeah, maybe a little........... | 23:29 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, yeah sorry, smb.conf | 23:29 |
| tigran | Hey I forgot who was helping me a minute ago on my mac address changing and no internet: It didnt work. | 23:29 |
| Coppershade-org^ | danbh_intrepid, no no. why does Ubuntu fail to install grub, you mean. | 23:29 |
| webwurst | formode: does your own computer show up in windows-share? | 23:29 |
| Coppershade-org^ | I checked the LiveCD with the LiveCD menu function. | 23:29 |
| Spherous | alright, so I just installed my NVIDIA drivers but now my res is all messed up, and I can't make it smaller. I also can't check extra for visual effects any more | 23:30 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, the reason i'm doing is that i want to have a backup drive on my network hosted by ubuntu server | 23:30 |
| formode | Yes I see hers too, and I can open the folder, but it does not allow file transfer | 23:30 |
| Coppershade-org^ | I'm on a Vostro 1510, which at linux-laptop is ok for Ubuntu GG, which is why I bought it :) | 23:30 |
| cilkay | SeaPhor: I've used a package called devede for that. Worked very well. It takes about 3.5 hours to create the ISO for a DVD from the original AVIs. | 23:30 |
| danbh_intrepid | Coppershade-org^: well, clearly something went wrong. And you checked the cd, so I dunno. I take it that its a new computer? | 23:30 |
| tigran | When I change my mac address, I no longer have internet. Anyone have an idea why? | 23:30 |
| soundray | Coppershade-org^: some BIOSs protect the MBR against writes. Check your BIOS setup for an item named "boot sector virus protection" or similar. | 23:30 |
| bobertdos | techsupport: Yeah, that's understandable | 23:30 |
| Coppershade-org^ | bought it 2 months ago, it came with vista, sadly. | 23:30 |
| webwurst | formode: ok! did you allow "writing" in the sharing options? | 23:31 |
| cilkay | tigran: Your ISP might be giving you an IP based on MAC address. | 23:31 |
| bariga | can anyone help me i'm having trouble with the proprietary driver of nvidia | 23:31 |
| webwurst | formode: on both computers | 23:31 |
| tigran | cilkay: Ive changed it in Windows tho, I still had internet | 23:31 |
| Coppershade-org^ | optimized vista so it's decent, but had a 10GB D: to spare, tried Ubuntu HH 32-bit livecd | 23:31 |
| formode | wenwurst, I did. I keep getting "Operation not supported by backend" | 23:31 |
| Coppershade-org^ | sure, I could trust it to resize my vista partition and hope it preserves client data there for work, then use 10GB swap, but--- | 23:32 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, my router is being repaired atm, so i only have switch connected to the cable modem, and both ubuntu server and win 2k3 are hooked up to the switch (without the router) | 23:32 |
| cilkay | tigran: Did you release your IP on Windows before you changed the MAC address? If so, you might not have on Linux. I'm not sure why you're monkeying around with changing your MAC address, however. I've never had to do that. | 23:32 |
| CaptainMurphy | I have an acer al2216w but ubunutu can't detect my screen and when I try to configure it only shows al2216wc al2216wv al2216wx What does the second letter mean? Its not possible anyone knwos this is there... | 23:32 |
| Coppershade-org^ | I'd rather just use D: for Ubuntu, it's formatted and ready :) | 23:32 |
| soundray | Coppershade-org^: that point is moot if for some reason grub fails to install | 23:33 |
| bobertdos | techsupport: okay, by the way have you read the ComprehensiveSambaGuide yet? | 23:33 |
| Coppershade-org^ | but apparently some users managed to install Ubuntu (GG) on a Vostro 1510 | 23:33 |
| tigran | cilkay: I dont think I did, I just used a little app, did it for me with no problem. What I'm doing is sudo ifconfig ath0 down; sudo macchanger -e xx:xx...; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo ifconfig ath0 up; | 23:33 |
| webwurst | formode: hm, saw that error. don't know what that means. but you could copy the files you want to share on your computer in the shared folder - and on the other computer you can access them over network | 23:33 |
| Spherous | Okay, can anyone tell me why my PC isn't using my NVIDIA driver after I just installed it? | 23:34 |

| Coppershade-org^ | How do I make it possible for grub to install? :) | 23:34 |
| Astral_Projectio | hi.. i have a question.. | 23:34 |
| soundray | Coppershade-org^: so follow my advice | 23:34 |
| pires | hgv | 23:34 |
| bobertdos | techsupport: Also, I believe domain names need to also be set in System->Admin->Network. I'd have to think of what file that corresponds to. | 23:34 |

| perillux | Can someone tell me how, if it's possible, to downgrade gcc (g++) ?? | 23:35 |

| Spherous | Anyone know why my PC isn't using my NVIDIA driver after I just installed it? Using Hardy | 23:36 |
| Astral_Projectio | WEP | 23:36 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, have no clue, so do you think i should go through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide | 23:36 |
| soundray | Spherous: how did you install it? | 23:37 |
| Astral_Projectio | i tried 128 bit wep and 64bit wep | 23:37 |
| webwurst | formode: hehe, what error do you get exaclty? | 23:37 |
| Astral_Projectio | i even tried entering key in "s:keyyy" format, but i cannot make it work | 23:37 |
| formode | webwurst, Well, I can see her, but transferring is a "Operation not supported by backend", and she can't even see me. | 23:37 |
| Spherous | soundray, Downloaded it, did sudo chmod +x driverhere~ hit ctrl alt f1, sudo killall gdm. sudo ./driverhere~ and followed the instructions | 23:38 |
| perillux | soundray: I'm not exactly sure, but I have version 4.3 and I'm getting errors. I did some research and found that in older versions you didn't have to do #include for every library. It would do some of them automatically and in the new version they removed that feature. So now I'm trying to compile something that kinda needs to do that.... | 23:38 |
| hakonlo | Has anyone had problems with JACK+FreeBOB after upgrading to Intrepid (I have)? | 23:38 |
| bobertdos | techsupport: That's what I thought initially, but it doesn't have anything there specific to domains. I'd have to look up some stuff too. | 23:38 |
| haydnc | Astral_Projectio: when it asks you for the key, does it also give you the option of selecting what kind of encryption is on the network? I seem to remember something like that last time I connected to a wireless network | 23:38 |
| liza0_ | hello all | 23:38 |

| Spherous | Cuz I read this way offline? No one here was telling me how to so I decided I better follow a guide instead of spam this chat for help | 23:39 |
| Astral_Projectio | haydnc, yes i have 3 type of wep encryption to select. 128 bit, 64bit and 64bit hex | 23:39 |

| esac | hi, i just plugged a usb sound card into my computer, and it seems to recognize it, but i cant figure out how to send sound to it | 23:40 |
| askvictor | why does the ubuntu install partitioner put one partition as a primary, and the rest as secondary? | 23:40 |
| bobertdos | techsupport: It does look like most of the settings are in smb.conf. I think the biggest part is making sure Samba is the controller. | 23:40 |
| soundray | perillux: you can install older gcc versions from the repos. Do 'apt-cache search gcc | grep ^gcc' to see which ones | 23:41 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, controller ? | 23:41 |
| AzizLight | is there a way to make Konsole (and yakuake) transparent in Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) ? I tried to set some transparency in the schema options but it did not work :S | 23:41 |

| haydnc | Astral_Projectio: sorry if this is a silly question but can you check what type of security the access point you're trying to connect to is using? So that you can match the security type on your machine | 23:41 |
| perillux | soundray: thanks. I just want to go to an older version compile this thing, and then go back to my current version. | 23:41 |
| bobertdos | techsupport: er, wait, Windows is your controller isn't it? | 23:42 |
| Spherous | soundray, did you see my message? | 23:42 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, yes, windows is a domain controller | 23:42 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, and i want to somehow make it so that the 500g drive i put into linux appear in my windows | 23:43 |
| soundray | Spherous: no, I'll miss your replies unless you use my nick | 23:43 |
| soundray | Spherous: I see it now | 23:43 |
| perillux | soundray: what version do you have? because I'm using Intrepid, so I think they might have a different version. Because what I'm trying to compile should work in hardy. | 23:43 |
| Spherous | soundray, alright, sorry, I'm still not in the habbit of typing a name first | 23:43 |
| soundray | Spherous: see if it works the way I suggested | 23:43 |

| goran__ | anyone on wifi question it, pinged me? :) | 23:44 |
| haydnc | Astral_Projectio: more or less what I'm asking is: is there any chance at all - no matter how small that the access point might have been set to use, or recently changed to use a different type of encryption such as one of the WPA variants? or could it be set to use WEP 128bit ASCII where you're trying to use some other variant? | 23:44 |

| haydnc | Astral_Projectio: Sorry I can't help - I have read that some people have issues with NM-Applet but since I've not run into that myself i guess I don't know enough about the work-arounds for it. Maybe someone else here can help | 23:50 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:55 |
| soundray | jakisktos: read http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta -- Known Issues, first bullet | 23:55 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, in the examble you gave me, they only show like 2 lines | 23:55 |
| randy | is their any other programs like Wine that i can use | 23:55 |
| WDC | Hello. In Postfix, when connecting remotely via TELNET< I get Relay access denied | 23:56 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, example where samba as member of domain controller | 23:56 |
| WDC | Why does that happen? | 23:56 |
| Spherous | randy, depends, what for? if gaming, go with Cedega | 23:56 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, how does my smb.conf look like ? | 23:56 |

| Arctic | hehe...how can I create a new folder in /opt? | 23:56 |
| jakisktos | soundray: but when i run 8.04 it was same problem: no gigabit eth crd | 23:56 |
| randy | just for windows programs like for media players | 23:56 |
| unop | Arctic, sudo mkdir /opt/newdir | 23:57 |
| martin__ | artic: sudo mkdir /opt/yourfolder | 23:57 |
| matreya6 | Arctic, you'll have to be root for that or use sudo | 23:57 |
| martin__ | unop: got cha | 23:57 |
| Zorix | what does everyone suggest as a good low power mini-itx system that has decent performance for browsing and chatting? | 23:57 |
| passive | I've reinstalled Gnome after some problems and re-generate the xorg.conf through dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server, however it looks like gnome doesn't work while KDE/XFCE do | 23:57 |
| soundray | jakisktos: what type of card is it? | 23:57 |
| Arctic | thanks a bunch again! | 23:57 |
| lina | Cedega is possibly behind in Wine, except maybe for being able to run viruses | 23:57 |
| unop | martin__, sorry, what? | 23:57 |
| Zorix | does Via C7 cpu have decent performance in ubuntu? | 23:57 |
| lina | err, farther behind than wine | 23:57 |
| matreya6 | randy: Most media are playable natively, what are you trying to watch/ listen to? | 23:57 |
| Spherous | randy, Uh, I think there is one more, the name ecapes me atm, but Wine is your best bet. But for media players, I suggest Songbird for music, and Totem or VLC for movies... those work perfect with gnome | 23:57 |
| martin__ | unop: nothin, just typed before urs | 23:57 |
| Spherous | soundray: I'll be right back, gotta restart | 23:58 |
| buggy | songbird works with linux? | 23:58 |
| Spherous | buggy, yes it does | 23:58 |
| buggy | sick. | 23:58 |
| jakisktos | soundray: integrated on intel motherboard, model of mobo is: dp35dp | 23:58 |
| buggy | I had no idea. | 23:58 |
| WDC | Hello? | 23:58 |
| martin__ | buggy: yes it is | 23:58 |
| Spherous | buggy, I know :D its awesome | 23:58 |
| unop | martin__, my client says otherwise :) | 23:58 |
| danbh_intrepid | NiCK_NaME: well, if it doesn't work there, its a gstreamer bug. You could try the beta of intrepid. Bootup the livecd and see if it works there | 23:58 |
| buggy | Havent checked up on that project in a while. | 23:58 |
| unop | martin__, but if you'd still like a cookie .. :) j/j | 23:58 |
| nananuu | !dosbox | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dosbox | 23:58 |
| WDC | Can Anyone help me with a "RElay access denied" in Postfix via remote TELNET? | 23:58 |

| Zorix | nobody has used a low power system in ubuntu i guess.. thats fine..thanks anyways | 23:59 |
| martin__ | passive: why? | 23:59 |
| bobertdos | techsupport: It looks pretty good. My thought was that you might at least want to try adding the lines in that page. To be honest, this isn't my strongest area. I'm just trying to be helpful. | 23:59 |
| soundray | Zorix: I missed your question. Please repeat | 23:59 |
