| Fat_Man | Trying to bulk rename files in terminal using the command " rename 's/(.*) - (.*)\.(.*) / $2 - $1.$3/'* " which worked perfectly the night before last. Today when I try to use it after entering the command terminal responds with " reading filenames from STDIN " and stops for good at that point. Any ideas as to how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated. | 00:01 |

| pyMonty | Does anyone know why flashplugin-nonfree doesn't have transparency in firefox? | 00:03 |

| Spherous | soundray, any ideas on what to do now? | 00:03 |
| soundray | Zorix: I don't want to put you off the VIA Epia platform entirely -- they certainly have their uses | 00:04 |
| lina | Arctic: what tar, is it a package or sources? | 00:04 |
| techsupport | bobertdos, i understand, i'm talking in #samba now | 00:04 |
| soundray | Spherous: thinking | 00:04 |
| randy | is their anyway to get a good working internet explorer | 00:04 |
| lina | randy: no, not even on Windows | 00:04 |
| Arctic | Martin: tar.bz2 | 00:04 |
| unop | Fat_Man, you could write this to do the very same thing. rename 's/(.*) - (.*)\. / $2 - $1./' * | 00:04 |
| Zorix | soundray, what do you think epia is useful for? | 00:04 |
| randy | lol | 00:04 |
| randy | true | 00:04 |
| martin__ | artic: ar u asking me? | 00:04 |
| Arctic | Lina: sorry | 00:04 |

| jewbilee | How do I install flash for firefox? | 00:05 |
| jakisktos | soundray: and my windows is not hibernatesd | 00:05 |
| pyMonty | sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, jewbilee | 00:05 |
| Spherous | randy, I mean you have plenty of other choices, if you use Gnome, Firefox, Chomium, Opera, or on KDE you have that one that comes installed on it | 00:05 |
| soundray | jakisktos: does Ethernet work when you boot from a live CD? | 00:05 |
| Zorix | soundray, the eeepc doesnt have a lot of hd space though | 00:05 |
| jewbilee | pyMonty: i did that but its still not working | 00:05 |
| Fat_Man | unop: Bingo! Space as you noted was missing! Thank you! | 00:05 |
| randy | just like to have all of them | 00:05 |
| jakisktos | soundray: no | 00:06 |
| lina | Spherous: "Chomium", you mean "Chromium"? | 00:06 |
| soundray | Zorix: that's true | 00:06 |
| Spherous | lina, yeah yeah, that. haha | 00:06 |
| trashguy | WHY | 00:06 |
| trashguy | would u want ie | 00:06 |
| Spherous | lina, missed the r~ haha | 00:06 |
| soundray | jakisktos: did you spell Ethernet with a capital E in that command? | 00:06 |
| lina | Spherous: that's a library AFAIK | 00:06 |
| Arctic | Lina: It's Blender Tar, that I am trying to install in /opt/blender | 00:06 |
| aleatorio | $ xbacklight -set 50 | 00:06 |
| aleatorio | No outputs have backlight property | 00:06 |
| aleatorio | how to solve it? | 00:06 |
| Spherous | lina, O.o, I used it before, its like the linux version of google chrome~ | 00:06 |
| jakisktos | soundray: any other ideas | 00:07 |
| lina | Arctic: tar xjvf <filename>.tar.bz2 | 00:07 |
| Fat_Man | cilkay: only 100 files per directory max. Did 5 directories the other night and all worked well so will continue with what I have. Thanks for input! Cheers! | 00:07 |
| Spherous | Lina, you have to compile it though | 00:07 |
| lina | Spherous: oh, I thought it was just the library, like libmozlib | 00:07 |
| Spherous | lina, nope~ | 00:07 |
| soundray | Spherous: I think you could try to run nvidia-xconfig to create a new xorg.conf | 00:07 |
| martin__ | lina: just extract it to some folder | 00:07 |
| soundray | jakisktos: did you spell Ethernet with a capital E in that command? | 00:08 |
| martin__ | then compile it, | 00:08 |
| lina | martin__: Arctic ^ | 00:08 |
| Arctic | nope, it's self sustained | 00:08 |
| Spherous | soundray, explain how~ when I run sudo nvidia-xconfig in a shell it just spits out some stuff then gives me a new line to type on | 00:08 |

| perillux | lina: thanks lina. However, it is compiling with a makefile. how do I fix this? can I just go into the makfile and make some changes? | 00:10 |
| soundray | LordFDisk: that's what he's done. Can you guide to the next step? | 00:10 |
| ubuntu_todd | ubuntu_todd; | 00:10 |
| LordFDisk | really ? | 00:10 |
| linny | ive got a funny bugi just upgraded to intrepid today and every time i open firefox it goes to full screen mode and f11 wont rectify it any ideas ? | 00:10 |
| lina | perillux: yeah. there may be an "update-gcc-alternatives", I'm not sure | 00:10 |
| jakisktos | soundray: i didn`t found nothing about lan or ethernet cards | 00:11 |
| LordFDisk | hemmm it should have installed everything | 00:11 |
| soundray | Spherous: looks like you need to restart X server (ctrl-Alt-Backspace) | 00:11 |
| alphaman1101 | What is the command to go into display properties?? sudo gtk something isntit? | 00:11 |
| lina | perillux: I'm certain that java had a similar update-*-alternatives | 00:11 |
| Spherous | soundray, alright. brb | 00:11 |
| godlygeek | how can i get hal/dbus to unload a module before Suspend and reload it after? | 00:11 |
| linny | alphaman1101: gksudo | 00:11 |
| bobertdos | jewbilee: Are you running a 64-bit system? | 00:11 |
| perillux | lina: but how do I change it in the makefile. I don't see any lines that I could change from gcc to gcc-4.2. I did a search in it for gcc and it had no results. | 00:11 |
| jakisktos | soundray: if i type ifnofig appears only lo device | 00:11 |
| DIFH-iceroot | why is there a blank space on the left side in my prompt? export PS1="\033[31m\]\u@\h:\033[0m\]" | 00:11 |

| jewbilee | bobertdos: sorry, I just actually restarted firefox and its working, thanks though | 00:12 |
| alphaman1101 | linny, no that gives a run dialog. i need something that edits the display proerties | 00:12 |
| bobertdos | lina, perillux: it does, sudo update=java-alternatives | 00:12 |
| soundray | jakisktos: could you run 'lspci' and pastebin the output | 00:12 |

| zeno__ | i start firefox and hit restore previous session, but it just sits forever. no errors (even on command line) | 00:12 |
| atmat | randy: running slackware on 2008 is idiotic | 00:12 |
| soundray | Spherous: can you change resolutions in System-Preferences-Screen Resolution? | 00:12 |
| perillux | bobertdos: lina: but what exactly does that do? | 00:12 |

The log has it giving up right after 'associating with network' (the AT+COPS line) going 'Setting APN Failed' (though it never set the apn based on that, and I've tried the built-in apn setting for at&t as well as the one I use when I dial it with wvdial.) It also doesn't use the righ | 00:13 |
| godlygeek | atmat: i run hardy and debian sid on my macbook. | 00:13 |
| AzizLight | DIFH-iceroot: I tried that it doesnt work, I get a solid color instead everytime | 00:13 |
| perillux | bobertdos, lina: I don't want gcc-4.2 permanently. I just need to compile 1 thing and then I can get rid of it | 00:13 |
| mneptok | Aziz! LIGHT! | 00:13 |
| mneptok | thank you Aziz. | 00:13 |
| Spherous | LordFDisk, I already ran the driver out of a shell with the x server closed | 00:13 |

| perillux | bobertdos, lina: bobertdos I need to compile something with a makefile | 00:15 |
| nixcc3 | f | 00:15 |
| randy | how do i change the screen resolution on the log in screen | 00:15 |
| perillux | bobertdos: but if I just run the makefile as is, then it will use gcc version 4.3 | 00:15 |
| soundray | Spherous: even if you select a generic display with an appropriate resolution? | 00:15 |
| Spherous | soundray, I selected the driver by make and model now, gonna restart and see if that fixes it | 00:15 |
| gnychis | i know there's a good disk space utility for linux that gives you an idea which folders are taking up the most space,etc... but i can't think of the name, anyone? | 00:15 |
| perillux | bobertdos: so I'm wondering how I can run the makefile with gcc-4.2 I thought I could just open up the makefile and change all the lines that say "gcc" to "gcc-4.2" but it doesn't have "gcc" anywhere in it | 00:16 |
| zeno__ | gnychis: du -hs * | 00:16 |
| soundray | perillux: 'sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2', then go to /usr/bin and find out which links point to 4.3. Change all of them to point to 4.2 | 00:16 |
| zeno__ | gnychis: if you want a gui search for disk in your package manager | 00:16 |
| martin__ | gnychis: it's on application > accesorics > disk usage bla bla | 00:16 |
| perillux | soundray: how am I supposed to "find out which links point to 4.3" ? | 00:17 |
| xim_ | i have an external ntfs drive that is alwayys giving me trouble. does linux have a utility that might help me diagnose whats wrong with it? | 00:17 |
| randy | what program would i use to log on to someones computer | 00:17 |
| ompaul | z | 00:17 |
| soundray | perillux: 'ls -l /usr/bin | grep ^l | grep 4.3' | 00:17 |
| ompaul | randy, usually ssh | 00:17 |
| perillux | soundray: bobertdos: lina: it sounds like you all are giving me permanent ways to convert to 4.2. I just want to compile a single file with it. | 00:18 |
| martin__ | anyone have ever used playonlinux? | 00:18 |
| soundray | perillux: this is permanent for as long as you don't change the links back to point to 4.3 | 00:18 |
| Spherous | soundray: Okay, my idea didn't work | 00:18 |
| Spherous | soundray, what was that line again? | 00:18 |
| ompaul | xim_, put it into a windows box, run the defrag stuff and so forth and then have a new look at it, btw it is more offtopic than on topic here | 00:19 |
| perillux | soundray: earlier you told me to install 4.2 (i've now done that) and then you said I just have to edit the makefile. is that still an option? | 00:19 |
| martin__ | anyone ever have success in running wow on ubuntu? | 00:19 |
| soundray | Spherous: I'm not going to repeat anything for you. If you value my advice, you make a note. | 00:19 |
| ompaul | wow | 00:19 |
| martin__ | no one here here ever installed wow? | 00:19 |
| martin__ | ompal: world of warcraft | 00:19 |
| soundray | perillux: no, you said that the makefile does not call gcc directly. So change the links. | 00:20 |
| ompaul | martin__, search wiki.ubuntu.com there is a help page there | 00:20 |

| martin__ | i did,. but i got some problem | 00:20 |
| kitche | martin__: wine works good just follow their instructions that they have as well if you get confused | 00:20 |
| martin__ | i did everything | 00:20 |

| Spherous | soundray, yeah that one. I'm going to try the generic monitor like you said, but it asks for a driver, where do I find the driver for it? | 00:21 |
| martin__ | what about pulseaudio? should i replace it with alsa? | 00:21 |
| soundray | Spherous: it shouldn't ask for a driver | 00:21 |
| xim_ | ompaul: hmm ok i figured i could trust linux based diagnostic utilities more but ill ask in ##windows | 00:21 |

| ompaul | martin__, search wiki.ubuntu.com there is a help page there read it again | 00:22 |
| Spherous | Soundray, well I clicked LCD Panel 1024x768 and hit add, and it asks for a driver | 00:22 |
| bobertdos | perillux: Read the manpage for GCC. I know there's a target option for specifying the version in there somewhere. | 00:22 |
| ompaul | martin__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft | 00:23 |
| Spherous | soundray, nevermind, I should of pressed ok. wants me to restart again, brb | 00:23 |

| slammed87d21 | what do i type in console to figure out what wireless card im using? | 00:23 |
| soundray | perillux: (assuming that you did a 'cd /usr/bin' at some point before that | 00:23 |

| HNSZ | I try stall kubuntu on my laptop bat after i've selected the language the display just showes horizantal bars. | 00:24 |

| kitche | HNSZ: #kubuntu for help | 00:24 |
| mn | slammed87d21 did that get it? | 00:25 |
| soundray | perillux: that command gave you a list of links in /usr/bin that point to components of gcc-4.3. Now you should do a 'cd /usr/bin' to change to that directory | 00:25 |
| daigorobr | Hello, upon inspection of dmesg, I noticed that boot time is halted for a long time "checking for custom DSDT". Is there any way to stop this check? | 00:25 |

| mn | "lspci -i | grep wireless" slammed87d21 type all of that in the same line without the quotes (btw an argument is not something negative, it's just input) | 00:27 |
| martin__ | ompaul, well, first i got everything working fine. but after i installed pulse audio | 00:27 |

| perillux | soundray: ya I know.. But I was asked by the kernel dev team to test out Intrepid because I was having suspend/hibernate problems and intrepid automatically comes with 4.3 | 00:27 |
| soundray | HNSZ: it is 64bit compatible, but you can install the 32bit version just as well | 00:28 |
| mn | Well, .wine got deleted. Is there any way I can just get the default .wine folder back? | 00:28 |
| perillux | soundray: but anyways.... so for example. I would change the link "cpp" from "cpp-4.3" to "cpp-4.2" correct? and if so, sorry but... how? | 00:28 |

| soundray | perillux: I told you. Too bad you missed it | 00:28 |
| ompaul | martin__, why did you do that? | 00:28 |
| slammed87d21 | it brought up the same thing again | 00:28 |
| === mike is now known as Guest12635 | ||
| michael | I just loaded ubuntu and I have a littletrouble with the web browser | 00:29 |
| soundray | <soundray> perillux: no. Example, when you update cpp, you type 'sudo ln -sf cpp-4.2 cpp' | 00:29 |
| mn | slammed87d21 | 00:29 |
| mn | let me see | 00:29 |
| slammed87d21 | yes? | 00:29 |
| illovae | hi | 00:29 |
| michael | It won't accept tds.net | 00:29 |
| bobertdos | HNSZ: and truth be told, unless you have 4 gigs of RAM or more, the 64-bit version doesn't do you incredibly much good (as long as you're not a stickler about benchmark speeds) | 00:29 |
| ajzimmerman | I need some help. I installed Hardy Ubuntu on one Hard drive, (second on the list) (Third is for backup), and before that I had XP. XP is on the first hd. Grub was installed on the second hd, so grub doesn't load during start up. When I make the computer start up from the second hd with UBuntu on it, and I select xp from the list, it doesn't load. I'd like to be able to load grub at startup automatically, and be able to access both os's. | 00:29 |
| soundray | perillux: make a note of which ones you changed, so you can change them back when you're done compiling | 00:29 |
| bustaplz | In Fedora there is a way to set default runlevel to stop the GUI from booting, what is the way to do this in Ubuntu? | 00:29 |
| martin__ | ompaul: just want to try out new stuff... | 00:29 |
| unop | soundray, perillux - don't mine me interrupting - but isn't this a reason why you should be using alternatives | 00:30 |
| Eisenhower | any french speakers here? | 00:30 |
| unop | s/mine/mind/ | 00:30 |
| martin__ | what exactly is pulseaudio though? | 00:30 |
| === lulz is now known as lol | ||
| bobertdos | !pulse | martin__ | 00:30 |
| soundray | unop: alternatives doesn't support gcc in hardy... has that changed in intrepid? | 00:30 |
| ubottu | martin__: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 00:30 |
| michael | So, how do I get all pages to load? | 00:30 |
| ompaul | martin__. http://www.linux.com/feature/119926 found this on google | 00:31 |
| mn | slammed87d21 sorry it's "lspci | grep Wireless" without the quotes. That should do it | 00:31 |
| martin__ | obottu: do we really need it? is that the same kind like alsa? | 00:31 |
| RickZilla | Creative Soundblaster Live Value installed on my computer, for some reason I'm not getting any sound...anybody want to take a stab at how to go about troubleshooting this? Thanks in advance for your help | 00:31 |
| whitehawk | how does ubuntu control OSD (for example when I adjust the volume) I mean with what app does it display it? | 00:31 |
| techsupport | can anyone give me some guidelines in editing /etc/nsswitch.conf | 00:31 |
| techsupport | 00:31 | |
| Bigshot_ | I just installled DIA-0.94 I am wondeirng how to start it? | 00:31 |
| unop | soundray, hmm, alternatives should work for anything - basically all it does is create symlinks for you but with multiple intermediaries in /etc/alternatives - so you can switch easily between them using update-alternatives | 00:32 |
| bobertdos | martin__: It's basically an extension of ALSA, brand new to Hardy, which is why it still has some bugs. | 00:32 |
| martin__ | bobertdos: thanks, can i just uninstall it then? | 00:32 |
| techsupport | or another words i need help with getting samba to join my domain and share a hard drive with windows | 00:32 |
| martin__ | bobertdos: it seems like i messedup /etc/asound.conf | 00:33 |
| bobertdos | martin__: I wouldn't recommend it. Pulse and Alsa are somewhat intertwined. | 00:33 |
| Bigshot_ | does anyone know how to start DIA-0.94 after installing it? | 00:33 |
| Guest12635 | aj my info might be out dated but i believe windows :-( insists on starting first | 00:33 |
| ^DeathKiNG^ | [KiNGScript] Test | 00:33 |
| soundray | unop: please go ahead and tell perillux that... For me, update-alternatives gcc has never worked (unlike e.g. for java) | 00:34 |
| ChryLimeade | Rickzilla: Try clicking System > Preferences > Sound Preferences. See if your card is at least listed. | 00:34 |
| Bigshot_ | hey ChryLimeade do you know how to start DIA after installing it? | 00:34 |
| caitlin_ | Can someone help me figure out why I'm getting no sound? Someone patient because I'm computer illiterate | 00:34 |
| bustaplz | Can anyone tell me what run level I would need to set to boot without GUI and possibly how to set that? | 00:34 |
| RickZilla | ChryLimeade: Yeah, it's listed on the device list | 00:35 |
| ChryLimeade | Bigshot, I don't, I haven't had any experience with that. Sorry man. | 00:35 |
| kitche | bustaplz: runlevel 3 which ubuntu uses by default you have to use a command like update-init.d or something to disable gdm from starting on boot | 00:35 |
| ChryLimeade | rickzilla: but just plain no sound? that's weird. | 00:35 |
| soundray | bustaplz: you can boot in single user mode by selecting Recovery mode from the grub menu at boot time | 00:35 |
| RickZilla | nope, no sound at all | 00:35 |
| martin__ | bobertdos: so how do i get around it? | 00:36 |
| caitlin_ | well, it makes a noise when I turn the computer on..but no other time | 00:36 |
| bustaplz | I'm not sure I want single user mode. This machine will be headless and I just want to disable I guess X or gdm to save resources. | 00:36 |
| RickZilla | I'm not sure where to go from here | 00:36 |
| bustaplz | I've done this on Fedora in the past but can't seem to figure it out for Ubuntu. | 00:36 |
| soundray | bustaplz: in that case you shouldn't mess with runlevels | 00:36 |
| ChryLimeade | yea, the fact that it's listed but just doesn't work is odd to me. | 00:36 |
| === mel is now known as Guest47348 | ||
| bustaplz | Okay, so should I be telling gdm or X not to run on boot? | 00:37 |
| soundray | bustaplz: just 'sudo update-rc.d gdm remove' | 00:37 |
| bobertdos | martin__: Other than switching gstreamer-properties and the rest of the sound settings to Alsa, there's not a whole lot you can do safely. | 00:37 |
| zeno__ | on hitting play test sound i get audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused | 00:37 |
| martin__ | bobertdos: how do u switch gstreamer-properties? | 00:37 |
| soundray | bustaplz: Ubuntu uses upstart, which is a modern replacement for the old SysV style runlevels and stuff that Fedora has | 00:37 |
| ChryLimeade | Rickzilla: Try going to System > Administration > hardwre drivers. Does it say there are any problems? | 00:37 |
| bustaplz | oh okay | 00:38 |
| martin__ | bobertdos: are u talking about one specific program, "gstreamer" or the whole system? | 00:38 |
| bustaplz | i'll try that command and get back to you, thanks for the help | 00:38 |
| martin__ | linux sound is confusing | 00:38 |
| ChryLimeade | (yea, it is) | 00:38 |
| bustaplz | do I need to stop gdm first? | 00:38 |
| soundray | bustaplz: no | 00:39 |
| soundray | bustaplz: the command only removes the startup links | 00:39 |
| RickZilla | ChryLimeade: none listed there | 00:39 |
| zeno__ | is intrepid ibis out? package manager jsut started dist-upgrade! | 00:39 |
| martin__ | can someone recommend the best setup for linux sound? like which packages | 00:39 |
| kitche | zeno__: nope it's beta from what I can see | 00:40 |
| Joshooa | Hey the pages displayed in my firefox never reach the edges of my screen, even when I zoom in, the stuff gets bigger but the formatting makes to big white bars run down the side. How can I make pages load in the entire firefox window so I can actually see them the way they are supposed to be? I have to magnify EVERY page at LEAST three times to even attempt to read it. (My monitor is also not that great) Does anyone know why Firefox won | 00:40 |
| IamSOG | um/.. how can I set up my xubuntu hardware? it doesn't detect my sound card, or do I need to run menuconfig ? | 00:41 |
| Spherous | soundray: Hey, when I rebooted it, it put me in low-graphics mode | 00:41 |
| Spherous | soundray: and my res is now 800x600, still far off from what it should be | 00:41 |
| Joshooa | If I change page style to no style, it looks like crap but goes to the edges, but basic page style looks better but it all skinny and narrow. ANyone? | 00:42 |
| ChryLimeade | Rickzilla: try this. Go into terminal, and type alsamixer and it'll show a list of different volume levels. are anything like "master" or "pcm" turned all the way down? | 00:42 |
| soundray | Spherous: is it running displayconfig-gtk for you? | 00:42 |
| Spherous | soundray: yeah | 00:42 |
| RickZilla | Just 3D control, and Surround | 00:43 |
| soundray | Spherous: are all the settings in there sensible? | 00:43 |
| Tigre_ | oh my god, 1322 users :S | 00:43 |
| Spherous | soundray, what do you mean? | 00:43 |
| ChryLimeade | hmmm...well, at least try turning those up (press left and right, then up and down to adjust volume), it atleast wouldn't hurt. See if that makes any difference. | 00:44 |
| iShock | Hi guys, any guides to installing PHP-GTK on 8.04? | 00:44 |

| diogo | hey everyone I have a dell vostro 1000 and found out that for some reason ubuntu works better on my dell laptop... I wonder would ubuntu uses some specific patches so it happens? | 00:44 |
| RickZilla | ChryLimeade: They don't turn up or down | 00:45 |
| ChryLimeade | Ohhh...hmm. | 00:45 |
| RickZilla | I did find a driver that might work, though...how do I install those? | 00:45 |
| Spherous | soundray: well I don't expect the monitor to be Plug 'n 'play | 00:45 |
| iShock | Hi guys, any guides to installing PHP-GTK on 8.04? | 00:45 |
| Spherous | soundray, or the res to be 800x600 | 00:45 |
| soundray | Spherous: so change them appropriately | 00:45 |
| Spherous | soundray, the res wont go up to what it should be | 00:46 |
| Spherous | soundray, it sets 800x600 to the maximum | 00:46 |
| soundray | Spherous: just switch away from the Plug and Play default | 00:46 |
| ChryLimeade | rickzilla: I'm going to send you a URL, hang on. | 00:46 |

| specialchar | Good morning. I'm having a strange problem. if i run a program (bacula) from the command line, then listens in the background. if i run it from init.d, it doesn't stay running? any ideas? | 01:01 |
| Spherous | martin__, yeah, its hard as hell to get to work with Wine, but I haven't tried it with Cedega yet | 01:01 |
| bobertdos | reticula: If by router, you mean firewall, you could use firestarter. It's a frontend for iptables, really. | 01:01 |
| _haywire_ | what's good about it? | 01:01 |
| martin__ | Spherous, so have u ever got it working? i could only played it but no sound | 01:02 |

| Spherous | martin__, but like I said, it was hard to do. Don't expect any help from Blizz either, they would rather you spend 200$ on a Windows key to play their game than to help you with linux, even if it meant canceling your subscription | 01:03 |
| martin__ | Spherous, i just removed everything | 01:03 |
| specialchar | Why would a service not stay running from init.d? no errors when it runs the script, and runs fine when calling directly | 01:03 |
| Spherous | martin__, I don't have it anymore | 01:03 |
| bobertdos | godlygeek: Manual mounting is accomplished via the terminal, using sudo. | 01:03 |

| passive | finally It almost working the failsafe Gnome is running in 1024*768 mode but GNOME in the main sessions gives me a blank page! | 01:04 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 then you can enable a password, and on the windows machine with ultra vnc you just type in the ubuntu machine's ip address. | 01:04 |
| Oxygenfa1 | Thanks DaveKong | 01:04 |
| bastid_raZor | AlabamaHit; if you're using compiz possibly.. you could ask in #compiz-fusion to verify | 01:04 |
| passive | is there a problem to use failsafe instead of the main GNOME session ? | 01:04 |
| godlygeek | bobertdos: i know that. i want to figure out why automatic mounting doesn't work. | 01:04 |
| Spherous | martin__ Cedega is only 25$ for a 6 month subscription, and 45$ for a year | 01:04 |
| Spherous | !info cedega | martin__ | 01:05 |
| ubottu | martin__: Package cedega does not exist in hardy | 01:05 |

| bobertdos | godlygeek: Have you added an fstab entry for the drive? | 01:05 |
| Spherous | martin__ unless your going back to Windows, don't use ATI | 01:05 |
| GReeK_RiDeR | S | 01:05 |
| sojanhu | can anybody help me I want to see my desktop on my tv how does that work? | 01:05 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 that will display your ip address, the address you need is associated with eth0 | 01:06 |
| Spherous | martin__ they work horribly with linux, NVIDIA is the best~ | 01:06 |
| martin__ | Spherous, that's what i have right now, ATI intergrated on board 128mb | 01:06 |
| aaron_ | anybody have problem with firefox crasshing | 01:06 |
| godlygeek | bobertdos: no. i don't want to have to do that; i want it to handle /dev/sda4 like it would handle a flash drive being added. | 01:06 |
| Spherous | martin__ put the NVIDIA in | 01:06 |
| martin__ | Spherous, no wonder :0p | 01:06 |
| martin__ | i don't have it yet, but soon :-) | 01:06 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 if you prefer you can right click on the icon in the system tray named Wired network connection and click on connection info | 01:07 |
| Spherous | martin__ Alright | 01:07 |
| bobertdos | godlygeek: An external drive, eh? | 01:07 |
| RyanPrior | My USB subsystem just died. Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer? | 01:07 |
| martin__ | Spherous, i'll order it right now | 01:07 |
| Spherous | So, anyone able to tell me how to do a 'system restore' to 3-4 hours ago? | 01:07 |
| bravo7 | Nitecon I only see Ip address " 192.168.1.27 which is the home | 01:07 |
| godlygeek | bobertdos: no, it's a local drive that i want to mount on click, rather than in a terminal, but not mount at boot. | 01:07 |
| martin__ | Shperous, and one more thing, what kind of config do use for sound? ALSA , OGG or pulse?do u use pulse? | 01:08 |
| Spherous | martin__ ALSA | 01:08 |
| godlygeek | bobertdos: actually, i guess i can add a line to /etc/fstab with noauto... | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | godlygeek, you can use the 'noauto' option in the fstab file to do that. | 01:08 |
| Spherous | martin__ Its OSS, not OGG, by the way~ haha | 01:08 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 are you on the ubuntu machine right now? | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | godlygeek, and the 'user' or 'users' option would let a user mount/unmount the drive.. (i forget which one, user, or users) | 01:08 |
| martin__ | Spherous, hehe.... and i don't think u could restore. but for some file like xorg.conf it has their own backups | 01:08 |
| RyanPrior | Spherous: there is no system restore unless you make regular backups. | 01:08 |
| martin__ | Spherous, what do u want to restore? | 01:09 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 I will be afk for a few | 01:09 |
| godlygeek | yeah, i don't know why i didn't think of just using noauto until i was prodded here... thanks dr_willis, bobertdos | 01:09 |
| bobertdos | godlygeek: that would probably be best.......otherwise, I was going to suggest you could gksudo into Nautilus :p | 01:10 |
| Spherous | martin__, I messed up my video drivers and I can't get it fixed | 01:10 |
| bravo7 | Nitecon yes i'm using ubuntu rite now | 01:10 |
| Coppershade-org^ | Dell Vostro 1510... at 94% grub fails to install... no MBR options in BIOS... possible? | 01:10 |
| Spherous | martin__, So I want to just restore it to like yesterdays date or something... | 01:10 |
| martin__ | Spherous, what i did was starting from scratch... and if u know what u changed it'd be a good idea. | 01:10 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 if you go under accessories and open Terminal | 01:10 |
| pollopolis | sudo rm -rf /home | 01:10 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 then type ifconfig | 01:10 |
| Spherous | martin__, my whole screen res is messed up and I'm stuck in low-graphics mode | 01:11 |
| Ulairion | Help, i can't get my graphics card to work properly.. I'm stuck at 800x600... would someone please help me? please? pretty please with sugar on top? | 01:11 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 you might have to scroll up until you see something like eth0 Link encap:Ethernet | 01:11 |
| godlygeek | bobertdos: yep, with a noauto,user mount in /etc/fstab, it mounts when clicked in nautilus. | 01:11 |
| martin__ | if it related to xorg.conf,.... i found some old files of mind from few days ago in the same dir | 01:11 |

| Spherous | Ulairion, no one here seems willing to help either | 01:11 |

| Spherous | martin__ I have no idea how to fix that~ I'm new with linux | 01:12 |
| xjohnthomasx | *really slow and stuttery | 01:12 |
| martin__ | Spherous, i cant remember what i did exactly(ATI) | 01:12 |
| Nitecon | bravo7 should be something along the lines of 192.168.1.2 etc depending on your network | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | Ulairion, demand a refund.. or start giving out some info, like card type. and what you ahve done to try to reinstall the drivers | 01:12 |

| bravo7 | Nitecon do i have to enable Static NAT? | 01:13 |
| askvictor | is there a file that tells me all of the installed packages on my system? | 01:13 |
| martin__ | Spherous, i think you installed new driver for ur VGA, correct? | 01:13 |
| Coppershade-org^ | Me, I tried to install Ubuntu to D:, but it failed to install grub and BIOS has no such options - dual boot not possible? | 01:13 |

| Nitecon | bravo7 if you want to connect to your ubuntu machine from outside of your local lan you will have to do port forwarding to your ubuntu machine. | 01:15 |
| bobertdos | Spherous: Generally, what it boils down to is that you manually add resolutions that you know your monitor can support, to the main config file for X. | 01:15 |

| Spherous | erUSUL, I'm having the same problem as Ulairion, when I go into gksudo displayconfig-gtk and change it to a generic monitor (Mines not in the list) it puts me in low-graphic mode | 01:15 |

| Coppershade-org^ | :) | 01:19 |
| bobertdos | bunnyto: Do you have the restricted codecs installed? | 01:19 |
| AIMsux101 | no, doesnt boot at. had to boot off of cd | 01:19 |

| Coppershade-org^ | I'd like to keep my files that are* on the windoze partition :) | 01:23 |
| LjL | Coppershade-org^: no, it's not fail safe. it can fail, resizing partitions always can | 01:24 |
| LjL | therefore, backups are always recommended | 01:24 |
| RyanPrior | My USB subsystem just died. Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer? | 01:24 |
| bobertdos | Coppershade-org^: "failsafe" is a pretty absolute term, but it is certainly safer to let the partitioner do it for you than it is to do it yourself | 01:24 |
| ChryLimeade | aimsux101: I would MAYBE recommend booting off the xp cd, I think you can do a boot loader repair with that...I'm just concerned about using that to try to fix a vista boot loader. | 01:24 |
| Coppershade-org^ | LjL, ok. So I have a D: partition, I go manual and point the livecd to it. Right now the only problem is that at 94% of file copying, grub fails to install. BIOS has no MBR options. | 01:24 |
| Coppershade-org^ | what do I do? | 01:25 |
| Coppershade-org^ | this is a Dell Vostro 1510 | 01:25 |
| RHorse | Spherous, reconfigure xserver | 01:25 |
| LjL | Coppershade-org^: tough luck. you could try the alternate or minimal cds, which, i believe, give you some more options with regards to where grub is installed | 01:25 |
| AIMsux101 | alright, should i be worried if i cant see the hdd at all in linux right now? | 01:25 |
| MetalHeadDead | question, do I need install an antivirus in ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| Spherous | RHorse: How? | 01:26 |
| LjL | Coppershade-org^: as for the reason why grub doesn't install in the first place - well, the cd could be corrupted (you've checked that of course?), or your partition table might be awkward possibly | 01:26 |
| bobertdos | MetalHeadDead: NO! In fact, uin my experience, they CAUSE problems. | 01:26 |
| ChryLimeade | aimsux101: Maybe, but if I remember correctly, that could possibly be due to just not mounting it. | 01:26 |
| askvictor | dr_willis: got it - I ran dpkg --get-selections --admindir <dir> to specify the dpkg lib path on the broken dir | 01:26 |

| iShock | LjL: And then it stops | 01:38 |
| mneptok | !best > ChryLimeade | 01:39 |
| ubottu | ChryLimeade, please see my private message | 01:39 |
| LjL | mneptok, you're way late | 01:39 |
| Coppershade-org^ | hm, swap partition should be 2x physical ram | 01:39 |
| Coppershade-org^ | ? | 01:39 |
| Coppershade-org^ | ext3 file system? | 01:39 |
| mneptok | ach so | 01:39 |
| LjL | Coppershade-org^: not necessarily | 01:39 |
| ChryLimeade | yea, already got that, thanks. | 01:39 |
| Coppershade-org^ | LjL, I have 2gb | 01:39 |
| Coppershade-org^ | suggest some size (and file system) :) | 01:39 |
| mneptok | Coppershade-org^: desktop or laptop? | 01:39 |
| LjL | Coppershade-org^: then i recommend little more than 2 gb | 01:39 |
| Coppershade-org^ | laptop | 01:39 |
| mneptok | Coppershade-org^: 2.4GB swap | 01:40 |
| Coppershade-org^ | and ext3? | 01:40 |
| DeeB1 | my update manager froze on "preparing to configure update-manager-core"... | 01:40 |
| LjL | mneptok: why .4? | 01:40 |
| Coppershade-org^ | or ext2 for compatibility? | 01:40 |
| mneptok | Coppershade-org^: you can't format swap as ext3 | 01:40 |
| Coppershade-org^ | it's always... what? :) | 01:40 |
| LjL | Coppershade-org^: it's always swap | 01:40 |
| bleh- | hey i booted livecd and keep getting error 21 on livecd. | 01:40 |
| mneptok | LjL: to allow anything in physical RAM to get dumped to swap when hibernating | 01:40 |
| Coppershade-org^ | oh. :P | 01:40 |
| LjL | Coppershade-org^: it doesn't have a filesystem | 01:40 |
| Coppershade-org^ | now I remember. | 01:41 |
| Coppershade-org^ | sry guys. | 01:41 |
| Coppershade-org^ | :P | 01:41 |
| turtle_ | I need help with audacity | 01:41 |
| Coppershade-org^ | I did it a year ago, forgot | 01:41 |
| DeeB1 | anyone know why my update manager is freezing? | 01:41 |
| LjL | mneptok: right, that's why i recommend setting it to as much as you have RAM (or little more just to be sure you aren't mixing decimal with binary multiples), why more? | 01:41 |
| Coppershade-org^ | lovely, Ubuntu on its way to my laptop! | 01:41 |
| mneptok | Coppershade-org^: apologies are usually more convincing when you don;t stick your tongue out at people. | 01:41 |
| turtle_ | Audacity says my output isnt set up correctly, but it wont let me change it? | 01:42 |
| aaron_ | anybody know why firefox freezes when watching youtubes | 01:42 |
| outbri | aaron_: I have the same problem, not sure why | 01:42 |
| mneptok | LjL: because it's far more likely to get the desired results from gparted than is entering "2.048GB" | 01:42 |
| GreedyB | anyone using Empathy? | 01:42 |
| LjL | mneptok: right, but i'd just make it 2.1 gb. i was puzzled at the .4 | 01:43 |
| aaron_ | outbri_: any luck in solving it | 01:44 |
| RHorse | aaron_, upgrade adobe flash? | 01:44 |
| aaron_ | ok trying that righ tnow | 01:44 |
| iShock | LjL: It's not moving at all now, just slowing the hell out of my computer. | 01:44 |
| aaron_ | is there an apt-get command | 01:44 |
| techsupport | can someone help me configure smb.conf so that i would be able to share a drive with windows /? | 01:44 |
| DeeB1 | anyone know why my update manager is freezing on "preparing to configure update-manager-core". it's done this twice... first time i had to reinstall because it messsed up my system when i killed the update | 01:45 |
| AllNewToMe | Does Ubuntu and Linux in general use ram more efficiently than Windblows? Does Linux suffer the same 3.2 gb limit of 32 bit Windoze? | 01:45 |
| LjL | AllNewToMe: maybe, and yes (unless you enable the PAE extension in the kernel, but it's not enabled in Ubuntu) | 01:46 |
| RHorse | aaron_, try adobe site and follow instructions | 01:46 |
| LjL | iShock: give it time | 01:46 |
| AllNewToMe | So how do I enable it? | 01:46 |
| LjL | AllNewToMe: you either install the server kernel, or roll your own | 01:46 |
| LjL | or you live with 3.2 gb | 01:46 |
| LjL | which to me would seem like the better option *shrug* | 01:47 |
| GodfatherofEire | Has anyone here ever had a failed file transfer to a Zen or other MP3 with amarok result in a file deletion instead of a crash? | 01:47 |
| RyanPrior | My USB subsystem just died. Can somebody help me restore it without having to reboot my computer? | 01:47 |
| AllNewToMe | So there would be no advantage to installing 4gb ram in my Ubuntu box? | 01:47 |
| Tim1_ | do i need to install samba on ubunto to connection windows workgroup networking environment | 01:47 |
| Tim1_ | to connect to | 01:47 |

| r_bender | hey anybody know how to burn an .iso file for damn small linux in ubuntu via brasero? | 01:49 |
| FatalError | RyanPrior, you can try reloading the usbcore kernel module | 01:50 |
| AIMsux101 | im back | 01:50 |

| RyanPrior | FatalError: How do I do that? Use modprobe to remove and then insert it? | 01:51 |
| === AIMfails101 is now known as iShock | ||
| AIMsux101 | so the vista cd actually crashed while loading. i went to the the BIOS and both of my hard drives werent listed | 01:51 |
| FatalError | RyanPrior, rmmod, then modprobe -- you may have to unload some other modules first before it will unload | 01:51 |
| GodfatherofEire | Anyone ever had deletion problems with Amarok before? | 01:52 |
| RyanPrior | FatalError: I'm not sure where I'd start. Do I risk destabilizing the rest of my system if I remove the wrong thing? | 01:52 |
| FatalError | RyanPrior, it's always a possibility, though I have never had it happen | 01:52 |
| georgetowntimoth | Hey guys | 01:53 |

| histo | RyanPrior: if not you can open another terminal and kill the pid | 02:01 |

| GreedyB | LordFDisk, did you install from the repos? | 02:06 |
| RyanPrior | FatalError: Noes! This happens every so often and I really want to know how I can recover gracefully, not least of which so I can file a bug report with some good hints in it. | 02:06 |
| aaron_ | k I am trying to freeze my firefox...so far so good nothing crashes with adobe flash 9,0,124,0 installed | 02:06 |

| RyanPrior | FatalError: If I reboot the computer, the external drive will be perfectly usable again. It's just that after a few hours under load, my USB subsystem peters out and I have to kill it to keep it from corrupting the drive - I have a daemon which monitors dmesg for I/O errors and force-unmounts the drive when it sees them. | 02:11 |

| RyanPrior | takamarou: omit "then" and replace with your actual device name, naturally | 02:15 |
| ale_ | AlabamaHit: I love what they have done to compiz or whatever is faster more smother | 02:15 |
| takamarou | AlabamaHit, I've relogged.. not rebooted. | 02:15 |
| AlabamaHit | adrian_2002ca: not that i know of....I burned cd and did it that way.....if you want to save cds i would just wait a few weeks :) | 02:15 |
| takamarou | RyanPrior, it should be something like /dev/hbd1 or something.. all I know is that the drive is named data.. /dev/data doesn't work with mount. | 02:16 |

| RyanPrior | ale_: Fedora includes a lot more software by default. Ubuntu relegates more of it to the repositories. | 02:33 |

| Roey | hello | 02:42 |
| Roey | is there a way to try out the python3 release candidate on hardy heron? | 02:42 |
| Spherous | alan, you might have to compile it? or find a .deb you can download online? | 02:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: yes if you get it from one of the servers for it, you can't get it from the Ubuntu reo | 02:43 |
| alan | looked on getdeb Nothing! kind of a ubuntu newb | 02:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | repo | 02:43 |
| Roey | SebNaitsabes: ok. | 02:43 |
| alan | trying to work my way through it thou | 02:43 |
| Roey | SebNaitsabes: or I guess I can wait about a month? | 02:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: RC is RC it's not a final | 02:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: when is the final? | 02:44 |
| Spherous | alan, google intltool 0.40.0 .deb and see what you get | 02:44 |
| alan | compling it = downloading and ,configure, make etc.. right? | 02:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: and wait a mounth for what? the final of Python or? | 02:44 |
| Roey | python 3.0 comes out in a month | 02:44 |
| Roey | =) | 02:44 |
| Spherous | alan, yeah, but always look on the web for the .deb before you do the compiling | 02:44 |
| Spherous | alan, unless you like to compile o.o | 02:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: ok, but hardy heron will probably not have it | 02:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: hell even Intrepid Ibex (the next one) may not just have it | 02:44 |
| alan | gotcha - good to know i was on the right track | 02:45 |
| Spherous | mneptok: Any ideas? | 02:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: update just does security updates | 02:45 |
| AlabamaHit | Whats a good program to convert DVDs to avi format? | 02:45 |
| mneptok | Spherous: do you know for certain that the Hardy nividia-glx driver supports that (relatively recent) GPU? | 02:45 |
| alan | <looks for the Thanks button on IRC> <g> | 02:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: actsaul proper new versions of programs is in each Ubuntu release | 02:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | Roey: ,but you can install stuff that is not in the repo as I said anyway | 02:45 |
| Roey | SebNaitsabes: hmm, ok. | 02:45 |
| alan | found a deb thanks | 02:46 |

| bustaplz | the idea that it is going into suspend mode sounds about right, but it's completely powered off, think that could just be a bug with the suspend mode? | 03:02 |
| JackEStorm | bustaplz: for me it was a BIOS bug, look around and check, at your own risk. | 03:02 |
| sullyva86 | mneptok: when i run compiz --replace in terminal i get a "couldn't find decorator" error any ideas? | 03:02 |

| mneptok | Spherous: restart X | 03:03 |
| Gnea | JackEStorm: i've seen that with a few systems before - if the BIOS settings are set to allow certain devices to powersave and it's new enough, ubuntu will simply grab the information via ACPI and use those values as assumptions | 03:03 |

| mneptok | Spherous: sounds like some kernel modules for this current kernel are wonky | 03:05 |
| bustaplz | i just aborted the PC check and looked in my BIOS it, has some power management features including suspend, I just disabled all of them | 03:05 |
| bustaplz | i think that was probably the culprit | 03:05 |
| Spherous | mneptok: O.o how? | 03:05 |
| JackEStorm | Gnea: yeah, that was the basic issue I had here, first system it took 6months to show up on, 2nd, only 5days | 03:05 |

| very_common | yesit does | 03:33 |

| very_common | histo lemme check | 03:34 |
| JackEStorm | from 0 to 1 to 0 again | 03:34 |
| Gnea | JackEStorm: okay - i see why that won't work - check this out: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/MultipleCards | 03:34 |

| very_common | HDA ATI HDMI sound card | 03:35 |
| histo | very_common: i've never seen a setup like that before. Where somehow mysteriously your video card would be able to pump sound throught he hdmi cable. There has to be some sort of software you are using in windows to do that. | 03:35 |
| very_common | i m onli using drivers | 03:35 |
| histo | very_common: unless it is all on one card | 03:35 |

| histo | very_common: hrm... well those are drivers from ati. I would maybe check preferences by right clicking on the volume control. Also check alsamixer make sure there aren't outputs muted. | 03:40 |

| tigran | histo: thanks for the help, ill just mess with it a bit more then give up and go cry in a corner | 03:51 |
| mneptok | Frijolie: then you need not MD5sum your downloads | 03:51 |
| aaron_ | thanks | 03:52 |
| Frijolie | mneptok: Ah, ok cool! I learned something. So the MD5 sums are for verifying a HTTP download? | 03:52 |
| Flannel | Frijolie: and ftp, etc. | 03:52 |
| mneptok | Frijolie: MD5sums can verify anything | 03:52 |
| Flannel | Frijolie: they're for verifying any and all images. | 03:52 |
| Frijolie | mneptok: yeah any file, that's right. The download method doesn't matter. | 03:53 |
| histo | Yes you can even use md5sums to find certain files. I use them to find kiddy porn on computers i'm investigating. | 03:53 |
| JackEStorm | Gnea: thats kinda my end thought on all this as well...as well, as get enough realtime data, I can play around with some weather computer models, and work on some ideas I have of my own. | 03:53 |

| Frijolie | an MD5sum is a file integrity checker, right? | 03:55 |
| histo | mneptok: excuse my ignorance with the terminology. | 03:55 |
| PhilipTPixler | :D lol alright so it's pretty much about the Tkcximage error with aMsn | 03:55 |
| PhilipTPixler | Oh haha sorry | 03:56 |
| Flannel | Frijolie: It checks to make sure the hash of the file you have is the same as the hash given to you. | 03:56 |
| PhilipTPixler | ok er let me restrart | 03:56 |
| JackEStorm | Gnea: yes and no, when I'm on, i'm in #asterisk-* and or #myth* mostly, undernet #linux, but I do tend to idle everywhere alot | 03:56 |
| Frijolie | Flannel: right, and is all done by some genius algorithm (to get the hash) | 03:56 |

| Flannel | sledge: check the first link out | 04:02 |
| Frijolie | bobertdos: I'm looking at alsamixer right now but it appears to have the volume set to 100%. However it says that the card and chipset is "Pulseaudio" | 04:03 |
| Frijolie | bobertdos: do I want to change that to Intel-hda? | 04:03 |

| PhilipTPixler | How would I go about doing that? | 04:03 |
| danbh_intrepid | Frijolie: I think everything goes through pulseaudio these days | 04:03 |
| Frijolie | danbh_intrepid: I'm confused as to what pulseaudio really is. Is it just a sound server which allows for global adjustments in the OS? | 04:04 |
| JackEStorm | Gnea: but since DVB is mostly Euro based, it should be easy, I'm just limited on my view angle here but, it should be smoth (the S2 would give better out put, because of the 8PSK support) | 04:04 |
| PhilipTPixler | How do you remove the tcl and tk files from Linux? If anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated :D | 04:04 |
| unop | synaptic has a search function - have you tried searching for those packages? | 04:04 |
| unop | PhilipTPixler, ^^ | 04:04 |

| PhilipTPixler | haha I haven't. I'm not even sure what that it ^_^ ' | 04:05 |
| danbh_intrepid | Frijolie: well, AFAIK, pulseaudio unifies all the other sound systems. | 04:05 |
| gTea | comicinker, actually, yes. for some reason i didn't put 2 and 2 together. thanks for pointing that out. | 04:05 |
| Infinito- | synaptic is a GUI for installing and removing packages | 04:05 |

| Flannel | bill_: you mean with wubi? | 04:06 |
| danbh_intrepid | Frijolie: you may want to try intrepid, its beta now. Still lots of bugs, but there are supposed to be fixes for pulse in it | 04:06 |
| bill_ | dont know the name but i installed the ubuntu while running Vista | 04:06 |
| danbh_intrepid | Frijolie: BUT, if you are worried about messing up your system, you should first have a separate /home partition, that way you can install again without loosing anything | 04:07 |
| Flannel | bill_: Alright, yeah, that's with wubi. No partitioning, right? Your vista stuff should be mounted automatically (I think ntfs things are mounted by default in recent versions). Check in places? | 04:07 |
| PostersandGuitar | Ubuntu will only run at an an extremely low resolution. | 04:07 |
| bill_ | i dont got the system infront of me but i get a curious smile that it might be located behind the root -linux- directory? | 04:07 |
| PhilipTPixler | Ok so now I've found the tcl file in synaptic. How do I uninstall the file itself? | 04:07 |
| Frijolie | danbh_intrepid: I just finished burning the LiveCD for Intrepid 5 seconds ago | 04:07 |

| bill_ | if SDA is the HD and sda1 is vista whats linux whne installing though vista windows? | 04:10 |
| danbh_intrepid | PostersandGuitar: yes | 04:10 |
| Flannel | bill_: the wubi "partition" is a file in your ntfs partition, that gets mounted through an abstraction layer. I'm not really sure about the specifics, but as far as you need be concerned for usage, your install is identical to a regular install on a separate partition. | 04:10 |
| aaron_ | How long should it take to get UCP certification? | 04:10 |
| Infinito- | when you're on vista, linux would be just some files with the .wubi extension | 04:10 |
| PostersandGuitar | Can someone assist me with my extremely low resolution? | 04:10 |
| Infinito- | those files are filesystem that only get mounted when you start on linux | 04:11 |
| PhilipTPixler | unop: ok one last thing. I've marked both of them for removal. How do I know when they're totally removed? | 04:11 |
| bill_ | in other words i just go ahead and mount sda1 as ntfs-3g like recommendent | 04:11 |
| Flannel | aaron_: You're still offtopic. This channel is for Ubuntu support only. #ubuntu-offtopic is for general questions not related to support, including certification ,etc. | 04:11 |

| PhilipTPixler | unop:lol apply marked changed right? | 04:11 |
| sledge | Flannel: do i want to set sda1 as the root device, or sda5 the partition that has ubuntu on it | 04:11 |
| unop | PhilipTPixler, right - they should be removed then | 04:11 |
| PostersandGuitar | Would anyone be able to assist me? | 04:11 |
| sledge | Flannel: grub> root (hd0,1) it wants me to type that in the terminal | 04:12 |
| Flannel | sledge: root will be where / lives so if you only have one ubuntu partition, your Ubuntu partition | 04:12 |
| Flannel | sledge: that'd be sda2 | 04:12 |

| sledge | ? | 04:17 |
| puff | Odd, unplugging the USB disk I was trying to rm the directory from killed it. | 04:17 |
| HappyHater | PostersandGuitar, check xorg.conf and see if your display has been added correctly... if not run 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' | 04:17 |
| Flannel | sledge: ext3 is a filesystem, the default one yes. | 04:17 |
| puff | EvilDaemon: -9 *and* -1? | 04:17 |
| === joe__ is now known as spasticteapot_ha | ||
| === spasticteapot_ha is now known as spasticteapot__ | ||
| PostersandGuitar | HappyHater: How could this happen completely randomly? | 04:17 |
| bill_ | flannel: On other system i got windows partition mounted and rwx fully. Checking on fstab i can see it nowhere to be found.. any ideas how and where it is mounted? | 04:18 |
| HappyHater | I wouldn't think it would unless you did something to change xorg.conf | 04:18 |
| Generic6552 | I've a few questions I'd like home help with ---none of them urgent--- but for starters, my system occasionally makes an 'alarm' beeping noise... what gives? Can I stop it? Should I stop it? | 04:18 |
| Flannel | bill_: If its not mounted by default, its not mounted. It'd be /dev/sda1 and mount it as per those pages | 04:18 |
| EvilDaemon | puff: yeah, just run 'kill -9 -1' | 04:18 |
| EvilDaemon | works for me. | 04:18 |
| puff | EvilDaemon: Without a process number? | 04:19 |
| unop | puff, do not try that | 04:19 |
| unop | EvilDaemon, why are you being malicious? | 04:19 |
| EvilDaemon | I'm... not, I don't think. | 04:19 |
| mn | unop: what does that do? | 04:19 |
| PostersandGuitar | HappyHater: I didn't. | 04:20 |
| puff | hm, odd, the "rmdir" isn't actually showing up in ps -ef, though the shell where I issued the command is still apparentlyhung. | 04:20 |
| unop | mn, kill pretty much every process - effectively shutting down the machine. | 04:20 |
| EvilDaemon | mn: kill -9 -1 kills all the processes you can kill. | 04:20 |
| RHorse | puff, you would need to do something like rsync -rva --exclude=/some/dir /usb_dir1 /usb_dir2 | 04:20 |
| EvilDaemon | For me, it logs me out to the login screen. | 04:20 |
| puff | RHorse: Yeah, I was trying to use --exclude-from=filename | 04:20 |
| bill_ | @Flannel: It is mounted only not through fstab.. but where? | 04:21 |
| supertanker | Can I just add a scri[t into /etc/cron.daily and have it execute every day? | 04:21 |
| supertanker | script* | 04:21 |
| JackEStorm | Gnea: and thank you for the URL'S, solved my problem (took a while to read everything, and back track my testing changes), but it seems to be working now (alsa loading order) | 04:21 |
| unop | supertanker, yep - that's the idea | 04:21 |
| Flannel | bill_: it'd be in mtab, or through gnome volume... stuff | 04:21 |
| RHorse | puff, you can use the -n or --dry-run ooption to see what the command will do without affecting anything | 04:22 |
| scientus | my password is only 1 haracter and cups wont take it | 04:22 |
| scientus | im adding a printer through the gui | 04:22 |
| puff | Argh, now the drive is not appearing under /media when I plug it back in. Sigh. | 04:22 |
| scientus | and it says password required {username} on localhost | 04:22 |
| izinucs | scientus, change your pass temporary | 04:23 |
| scientus | its notlike the normal gksu popups | 04:23 |
| mungi | surabaya | 04:23 |
| bill_ | @flannel: You are right i was totally ignorant of mtab existance. Thanx again | 04:23 |
| scientus | that sucks | 04:23 |
| scientus | that really sucks | 04:23 |
| scientus | noo, but its a pain to change it back | 04:23 |
| izinucs | scientus, 3 clicks? a pain? | 04:23 |
| scientus | hm still doesnt like | 04:23 |
| scientus | it | 04:24 |
| RHorse | puff, you may have to mount it manually | 04:24 |
| scientus | no to set a short password | 04:24 |
| scientus | i changed it and it still wont work | 04:24 |
| EvilDaemon | does kill require sudo? | 04:24 |
| sdfsdfds | dfd | 04:24 |
| RHorse | or edit your fstab filre | 04:24 |
| izinucs | scientus, restart cups | 04:24 |
| Hagg1 | Hello, does anyone know why I get "No networkdriver found" while trying to install "Ubuntu 8.10 Beta" onto my EeePC 901? Isn't the atl1e-driver included? | 04:24 |
| unop | EvilDaemon, yes if you want to send signals to processes not started by you. | 04:24 |
| danbh_intrepid | EvilDaemon: I think it depends on who owns the process | 04:24 |
| scientus | if its not do i have to set a differnt cups password? | 04:25 |
| Flannel | Hagg1: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks | 04:25 |
| EvilDaemon | unop: Would 'sudo kill -9' be the process he was looking for? | 04:25 |
| scientus | fuck ill just start the wizard as root | 04:25 |
| Flannel | scientus: Please watch your language | 04:25 |
| Hagg1 | Flannel: what do you mean? | 04:25 |
| EvilDaemon | !ohmy | scientus | 04:25 |
| ubottu | scientus: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:25 |
| Flannel | Hagg1: Intrepid (what will become 8.10) isn't released yet, and its supported in #ubuntu+1, not here. | 04:25 |
| unop | EvilDaemon, kill -9 .. is hardly ever needed - and i should think not - using it only causes more problems, not provide solutions | 04:25 |
| RHorse | puff, and then make a script file or an alias in your shell rc so you don't have to type it every time | 04:26 |
| mungi | hi,leh knl pa ga | 04:26 |

| PostersandGuitar | ok | 04:29 |
| izinucs | PostersandGuitar, nvidia? have you installed nvidia-settings... if not try that and load it from terminal using sudo | 04:30 |
| PostersandGuitar | ixinucs: load what from terminal | 04:30 |
| dr_willis | the 'nvidia-settings' tool is good for tweaking the res and stuff for nvidia based systems | 04:30 |
| PostersandGuitar | This problem appeared without any warning or changes | 04:30 |
| izinucs | PostersandGuitar, after installing "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" .. load it with sudo nvidia-settings and see if you can make the changes you need there. | 04:31 |

| thon0925 | did the tool install? | 04:32 |
| PostersandGuitar | izinucs | 04:32 |
| izinucs | PostersandGuitar, that is weird that it happened all of a sudden.. but nvidia settings is worth a shot | 04:33 |

| oleg | i found a tutorial a while back | 04:48 |
| oleg | yes | 04:48 |
| oleg | usb drive that is ntfs | 04:48 |
| sledge | oleg yeah you just type mount -t ntfs.3g /dev/disk /media/disk | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | oleg, ntfs-3g -force (i think) check the man pages for ntfs-3g | 04:48 |
| sledge | oh usb? | 04:48 |
| tictac232434 | emmm brb ima try what that one guy sia | 04:48 |
| tictac232434 | said* | 04:48 |
| oleg | yea | 04:48 |
| tictac232434 | download and extract files to home folder | 04:48 |
| oleg | i have searched google high and low | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | its not a 'good' idea to force the mounting of ntfs filesystems. its best to fix it | 04:48 |
| sledge | not sure what a usb file name is | 04:48 |
| oleg | i know what my usb filename is | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | oleg, its documented in the ntfs-3g wiki/homepage/docs/man pages. :) | 04:49 |
| Prose | where would it be listed that hardware has appropriate drivers ? | 04:49 |
| rootlinuxusr | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/DEVICENAME /media/External/ -o force | 04:49 |
| oleg | thank you | 04:49 |
| Indoctrine | My bank website doesn't work in Ubuntu | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | ntfs-3g --help ---> Example: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/win -o force | 04:49 |
| eca | i dont think its a problem from fluxbox | 04:49 |
| oleg | rootlinuxusr - when i type that in, with the proper drive name, it gives me a bunch of options | 04:49 |
| sledge | Indoctrine: what do you mean, in ubuntu? | 04:49 |
| tictac232434 | Node | 04:50 |
| sledge | Indoctrine: why not run IE in wine | 04:50 |
| turtle_ | need help installing swiftfox64 | 04:50 |
| Indoctrine | sledge: As in, it'll work in Windows, but not in Ubuntu | 04:50 |
| tictac232434 | should I download patch for whole install? | 04:50 |
| zurn | ilec - got to a terminal and type in sudo dhclient | 04:50 |
| Indoctrine | sledge: Something about not wanting my details stolen. It works in Windows firefox. >_> | 04:50 |
| node357 | tictac232434, full install | 04:50 |
| tictac232434 | ok ty | 04:50 |
| sledge | hm. | 04:50 |
| sledge | lol | 04:50 |
| izinucs | tictac232434, you might find the latest version on www.getdeb.net | 04:50 |
| tictac232434 | already got it | 04:50 |
| tictac232434 | lol | 04:50 |
| tictac232434 | but ty | 04:50 |
| node357 | 2.4.2 ? | 04:50 |
| tictac232434 | yea | 04:51 |
| oleg | dr willis- when i type that command in, it gives me a breakdown of the options | 04:51 |
| ilec | wait, i had to manually configure the network, though the roaming connection | 04:51 |
| node357 | that's the latest | 04:51 |
| tictac232434 | yea | 04:51 |
| node357 | so you don't need to patch | 04:51 |
| turtle_ | anyone tried swiftfox yet? | 04:51 |
| tictac232434 | stupid thing was bothering me | 04:51 |
| node357 | :( | 04:51 |
| oleg | and doesnt mount anything | 04:51 |
| tictac232434 | no I download/installed from respitorys... | 04:51 |
| Indoctrine | Oh | 04:51 |
| Indoctrine | Weird | 04:51 |
| Indoctrine | It worked this time | 04:51 |
| turtle_ | i dont think its in my repos | 04:51 |
| tictac232434 | from Ubuntu's "new person friendly" thing | 04:51 |
| Indoctrine | I'm poor. :D | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | oleg, thats what --help does. :) it gives that example Example: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/win -o force | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | as a example command line to use the force.. be sure to use sudo with it.. | 04:51 |
| tictac232434 | lol | 04:51 |
| node357 | lol | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | oleg, of course you do ned to have a proper mountpoint, and the proper device name | 04:52 |
| node357 | if you have 2.4.2 already you're done :P | 04:52 |
| zurn | ilec did you left or right click on nm (network manager) on the panel bar (top right) | 04:52 |
| turtle_ | OMA | 04:52 |
| rexus | hi guys, for those of you who use laptop, do you find your laptop fan keeps on and even seems to work harder when you use firefox? | 04:52 |
| tictac232434 | ehhh I don't is the problem.... | 04:52 |
| zurn | ilec - what build are you using ? | 04:52 |
| node357 | oh | 04:52 |
| shubbar | anyone using Avidemux? | 04:52 |
| zurn | 8.04 or 8.10 beta? | 04:52 |
| tictac232434 | I installed from respitory and of course its not uptodate... | 04:52 |
| turtle_ | is there a 64bit channel? | 04:52 |
| savage- | what's a good program for Ubuntu for managing photo albums, etc? | 04:52 |
| tictac232434 | I was just needed to know how to apply the full installed like u just told me to get | 04:52 |
| zurn | shubbar - i have using it w/ virtualdub in winxp | 04:52 |
| Anza | Good day! I have a question, until today amarok was working well, but then suddenly it started to fail, the pc got so slow and then suddenly the screen was frozen, like blocked, and since that it's been happening everytime I open Amarok, any idea how to fix that or what could be causing that?? | 04:53 |
| ilec | 8.04.1 | 04:53 |
| zurn | savage - google's picasa? | 04:53 |
| node357 | tictac232434, you shouldn't write over the files that were installed, instead run Nexuiz from your home directory | 04:53 |
| ilec | and i have network manager open | 04:53 |
| savage- | zurn: i didn't realize there was a version for ubuntu, thanks | 04:53 |
| tictac232434 | emm... | 04:53 |
| tictac232434 | dude I am from Windows I have no clue what ur saying.. | 04:53 |
| zurn | savage - i could be wrong, i though there was | 04:53 |
| shubbar | zurn, i keep getting a time shift when encoding from mpeg2 to xvid of x264 | 04:54 |
| savage- | nope, just XP support | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | savage-, lasti looked picassa was using wine. :) so it is the windows version | 04:54 |
| oleg | hey | 04:54 |
| node357 | darn, I thought it was pretty simple | 04:54 |
| tictac232434 | I know where "Home Folder" is... | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | savage-, they just package theuyr own wine with it. | 04:54 |
| oleg | just a quick question | 04:54 |
| tictac232434 | lol | 04:54 |
| zurn | shubbar - a/v sync off? | 04:54 |
| node357 | ugh | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | savage-, it works very well. | 04:54 |
| oleg | would it be simpler to boot into a live windows cd and disconnect the drives from there? | 04:54 |
| savage- | dr_willis, really? so I need to first install wine and then download the picasa exe? | 04:54 |
| tictac232434 | Places>Home Folder... | 04:54 |
| RHorse | savage-, how about apt-cache search photo? | 04:54 |
| ilec | okay I have it believing that it's running of dhcp now, how do i get it to refresh the IP | 04:55 |
| zurn | savage - picasa page says windows or linux | 04:55 |
| tictac232434 | Its cool I will be patient.....just wanting help badly.... | 04:55 |
| zurn | http://picasa.google.com/linux/ | 04:55 |
| savage- | zurn: really? hmm i didn't see that! | 04:55 |
| msh | hello all! Is there any software which can do similar thing as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freegate | 04:55 |
| msh | ? | 04:55 |
| zurn | havent tried it | 04:55 |
| shubbar | zurn, yes, a/v sync problem. audio is delayed about 2 sec | 04:55 |
| node357 | when it's downloaded, go to Applications, Accessories, Terminal and then the terminal comes up type unzip nexuiz-242.zip | 04:56 |
| dr_willis | savage-, No you dont. :) it inludes its own wine. | 04:56 |
| tictac232434 | msh..... | 04:56 |
| tictac232434 | U might wanna try wine | 04:56 |
| msh | tictac: yes? | 04:56 |
| oleg | thank you | 04:56 |
| savage- | dr_willis, cool! trying it now | 04:56 |
| msh | tictac: Anything that is for linux? Wine would be a heavy solution | 04:57 |
| frybye | Hi - when I try to run skype I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/53643/ any tips? (I am a relative- newbie) | 04:57 |
| tictac232434 | Emmm...... not that i've seen | 04:57 |
| tictac232434 | Why don't you post something in the forums? | 04:57 |
| tictac232434 | They have people constantly helping people | 04:57 |
| msh | oh sure | 04:58 |
| zurn | ilec were you able to left click and choose connections for networking via the netowrk manager icon on the panel (upper right) ? | 04:58 |
| tictac232434 | Node u still here dude? | 04:58 |
| node357 | im still here tictac | 04:58 |
| tictac232434 | ok I have downloaded the actual 2.4.2 just need to install it... | 04:59 |
| savage- | wow, picasa3 works very well in ubuntu 64bit | 04:59 |
| tictac232434 | or I could get the patch which one do u think is best? | 04:59 |
| node357 | open a terminal and type unzip nexuiz-242.zip | 04:59 |
| tictac232434 | ok | 04:59 |
| ilec | i left click and get 1 option for a wired connection. my wireless doesn't even show up, but we can deal with that later | 04:59 |
| zurn | ilec - once you get wired working | 05:00 |
| ilec | yup | 05:00 |
| zurn | download the 1.5.x (whichever is latest) of wicd | 05:00 |
| tictac232434 | Ok done now what? | 05:00 |
| node357 | now type: cd Nexuiz | 05:00 |
| puff | RHorse: Hm, does rsync exclude take directory arguments, e.t. --exclude=/home/puff/.mozilla/firefox/puffuser/Cache or do I need to tag a wildcard on the end of that, --exclude=/home/puff/.mozilla/firefox/puffuser/Cache/* | 05:00 |
| node357 | and then: ./nexuiz | 05:00 |
| zurn | ilec - it works tons better for wifi | 05:00 |
| ilec | kk, can we wait till i have wired first? | 05:00 |
| RHorse | ilec, may want to check here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkDevices#Wired networking | 05:00 |
| ilec | thanks | 05:01 |
| mungi | jhfktfv lu | 05:01 |
| zurn | time for a poll, im reinstalling my laptop (dell 1150 p4 - 2.8ghz, 1.25gb ram) ubuntu 8.04.1 or 8.10 beta (im installing so its going to be default...) | 05:01 |
| tictac232434 | Ok.... u realize to unzip the file I was on my "desktop" | 05:01 |
| tictac232434 | now how do i get to exactly where u need me? | 05:01 |
| node357 | tictac232434, oh crap... I forgot | 05:01 |
| j12112 | I have a quick questions for all you pros. I haven't been in IRC for... oh, 10 years or so. Just curious as to what's changed in regards to IRC. Thanks. | 05:02 |
| node357 | cd Desktop | 05:02 |
| node357 | cd Nexuiz | 05:02 |
| tictac232434 | yea I realized that | 05:02 |
| tictac232434 | lol | 05:02 |
| zurn | j12112 - not much | 05:02 |
| node357 | lol | 05:02 |
| tictac232434 | I am from Windows so I know a bit of CMD | 05:02 |
| tictac232434 | just enough | 05:02 |
| tictac232434 | lol | 05:02 |
| FloodBot1 | tictac232434: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:02 |
| node357 | ah lol | 05:02 |
| RHorse | puff, no the first way will work fine. You can go like --exclude=/one/dir --exclude=/second dir --exclude=/third/dir, each argument separated by a space | 05:02 |
| j12112 | zurn - really? wow. | 05:02 |
| node357 | there are a few different versions which you can see by typing ls nexuiz* | 05:02 |
| tictac232434 | otherwise I would be freaking out haha | 05:02 |
| ilec | okay i left click and i get manual configuration and that's it | 05:03 |
| tictac232434 | ok | 05:03 |
| tictac232434 | I unzipped it | 05:03 |
| tictac232434 | now what? | 05:03 |
| node357 | ./nexuiz-linux-686-glx is probably what you want | 05:03 |
| tictac232434 | OH BOY! | 05:03 |
| tictac232434 | DO I LOVE YOU | 05:03 |
| tictac232434 | lol | 05:03 |
| node357 | lol | 05:03 |
| node357 | it worked then? | 05:03 |
| tictac232434 | it worked! | 05:03 |
| hosstest | how does Ubuntu FS deal with fragmented files? Is there a need to defrag? | 05:03 |
| node357 | good deal :) | 05:04 |
| tictac232434 | Ok do I keep the Nexuiz folder? | 05:04 |
| node357 | yeah | 05:04 |
| puff | http://pastebin.com/d1650eabf | 05:04 |
| tictac232434 | ok.... do i make a link to something...? | 05:04 |
| tictac232434 | or how will I run it nextime.. | 05:04 |
| node357 | I think in GNOME you can make a link but it's sometimes flakey | 05:04 |
| zurn | hosstest - no, there is no fragmentation on ext2 or ext3 filesystems | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | hosstest, its the ext2/ext3 fulesystem. and No fragmentionis not an iussue. :) | 05:04 |
| Flannel | !enter | tictac232434 | 05:04 |
| ubottu | tictac232434: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:04 |
| node357 | it might be better to run it from the command line, but that's just me | 05:04 |
| tictac232434 | O ok sorry Flannel | 05:05 |
| puff | RHorse: http://pastebin.com/d1650eabf | 05:05 |
| hosstest | thanks | 05:05 |
| tictac232434 | oic yea since I do not know the cmd well yet in Linux/Ubuntu might be a problem haha | 05:05 |
| Chlorate | My USB ports won't work in Ubuntu. I can't tell if when it was installed if it even detected it. Anyone help? | 05:05 |
| node357 | always remember if you want to start an application like nexuiz you need the ./ before the program name | 05:06 |
| node357 | if it's in your current directory | 05:06 |
| Trev | I need help configuring my windows wireless driver for ubuntu. | 05:06 |
| tictac232434 | ok ty dude | 05:06 |
| tictac232434 | that will help a lot more | 05:06 |
| node357 | you can "create launcher" by right clicking the desktop and point it at Nexuiz/nexuiz-686-glx but I don't really remember how that works | 05:06 |
| node357 | you're welcome | 05:06 |
| tictac232434 | Ty Peace | 05:08 |
| bruenig | or write a .desktop file in vim | 05:08 |

| owen1 | i connect a vga cable from my sony vaio to a tv but it doesn't display anything. any idea? | 05:09 |
| Chlorate | My USB ports won't work in Ubuntu. I can't tell if when it was installed if it even detected it. Anyone help? | 05:09 |
| Trev | Trev>I need help configuring my windows wireless driver for ubuntu. | 05:10 |
| jim_p | goodmorning | 05:10 |
| RHorse | puff, don't use wild card after directory -- that is improper syntax. Also, don't use wildcard between dir's . I donl\t think that'll work. If you have many dir's you can use the switch --exclude-from= and make a text file with one dir per line. | 05:10 |
| turtle_ | no 64 bit browsers for uubuntu 64 | 05:12 |
| puff | RHorse: Okay, so I need one line for each user... how do I use a space in a directory name, quote it? | 05:13 |
| msh | any http proxy for linux? | 05:13 |
| Chlorate | Is 64 bit ubuntu okay to use yet in your guys opinion? I have an AMD64, but some stuff is still screwy and Im on 64 bit unbuntu or whatever | 05:14 |
| turtle_ | anyone have a 64b browser | 05:14 |
| turtle_ | plzzzz | 05:14 |
| ArtVandalae | puff, either quote, or use the escape character i.e. \. So something like my\ directory | 05:14 |
| jim_p | Chlorate: do you have more than 4GB of ram? | 05:14 |
| RHorse | puff, I *think* you can escape it with a backslash like some\ dir\ with\ spaces\ in\ it OR you can try single or double quotes around the directory. Not sure. 8 ) | 05:15 |
| Anza | what is it you type in a terminal to "kill" an app? | 05:15 |
| roukoun | i have created a new user in my pc... i dont why but a removable hd change its ownership... now im trying to change it to its default but when im issuing the command: 'sudo chown roukoun /media/My\ Book' it says 'Operation not permitted' | 05:15 |
| Chlorate | jim_p, I have 3GB. | 05:15 |
| jim_p | Anza: killall firefox | 05:15 |
| Anza | thanks | 05:15 |
| ArtVandalae | roukoun, ls -l, and tell me who owns the dir | 05:15 |
| RHorse | jim_p, killall firefox-bin | 05:15 |
| ArtVandalae | roukoun, oh wait, nvm, you're using sudo | 05:16 |
| roukoun | ArtVandalae: its the new user i created | 05:16 |
| jim_p | Chlorate: then go with the 32bit. you will have less trouble with flash | 05:16 |
| Anza | what about when it gets so slow, like getting blocked and you cannot get to the terminal, there is like a short cut or something to open it fast? | 05:16 |
| ArtVandalae | roukoun, try: sudo chown roukoun: /media/MyBook | 05:16 |
| ArtVandalae | roukoun, note the ":" | 05:16 |
| jim_p | RHorse: correct :P but it was an example | 05:16 |
| roukoun | chown: changing ownership of `My Book/': Operation not permitted... same as before | 05:16 |
| Chlorate | jim_p, Hmm. I was wondering (I'm very newb but just trying anything) if my USB ports will work in 32bit | 05:16 |
| ArtVandalae | roukoun, what kind of a device is mounted? | 05:17 |
| jim_p | Anza: i have mine set to Ctrl+~. do one yourself | 05:17 |
| joebob777as7 | anyone know if there is a way to force an iso to mount? I get bad superblock when trying to mount avchd iso files | 05:17 |
| jim_p | Chlorate: of course they will work! | 05:17 |
| Anza | jim_p, you know why Amarok is making my pc to get froze? :( | 05:18 |
| Chlorate | jim_p, Cause I'm on 64bit and they're not working! So will that really help!? | 05:18 |
| roukoun | ArtVandalae: it is an external hdd with vfat format | 05:18 |
| jim_p | Anza: probably some huge databese of tracks makes it read and read | 05:18 |
| ilec | okay so my ethernet adapter is: intel RTL8111/81 68B PCIexpress Gigabit Ethernet Controller | 05:18 |
| dfgas | soemthing happen to my buddys file system and it booted up to a prompt. well no i don't know what he did but now he got it to boot into X but everything is read-only. i asume he got the file system to mount read only. how does he fix it? | 05:19 |
| Anza | jim_p, that could be it, I will try moving the music database somewhere else | 05:19 |
| [Solaris] | whats the command to make a bash script executable? | 05:19 |
| jim_p | Chlorate: they dont work in 64 bits? what os? the 1st time i hear such thing. or is it the devices on them that dont wirk? | 05:19 |
| jim_p | *work | 05:19 |
| callkalpa | anyone know how to create a customized ubuntu CD ? | 05:19 |
| jim_p | dfgas: he probably booted into resque mode | 05:20 |
| winnipegm | hi there i need sum help mounting my raid onto ubuntu... it was previously on gentoo linux until sas hardward died thanks for any help i can get :) | 05:20 |
| dfgas | jim_p: how do i get him to fix what ever is wrong with this system? | 05:20 |
| jim_p | [Solaris]: chmod +x file.sh | 05:20 |
| Chlorate | jim_p, Dunno. I have tried to get my usb ports to work! I am just out of options. I'm on Ubuntu. My USB ports won't detect any devices. Ive tried multiple flash drives | 05:20 |
| roukoun | dfgas: to change the read-only mode you have to edit the /etc/fstab | 05:20 |
| roukoun | ArtVandalae: ??? | 05:20 |
| jim_p | dfgas: tell him to sudo reboot, and select the uppermost option in grub menu | 05:21 |
| dfgas | roukoun: he doesn't know how to do that | 05:21 |
| jim_p | dfgas: if that doesn work, we did something bad | 05:21 |
| callkalpa | anyone know how to create a customized ubuntu CD ? | 05:21 |
| jim_p | !remaster | 05:21 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the !Ubuntu !LiveCD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use Tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 05:21 |
| jim_p | callkalpa: see what the bot just said | 05:22 |
| callkalpa | thanks :-) | 05:22 |
| joebob777as7 | anyone know if there is a way to force an iso to mount? I get bad superblock when trying to mount avchd iso files | 05:22 |
| jim_p | Chlorate: what mobo do you have? in brief | 05:23 |
| jim_p | joebob777as7: was that iso converted to .iso from some other filetype extention/ | 05:23 |
| joebob777as7 | jim_p, ripped from blu-ray to iso | 05:23 |
| scientus | does video memory count against the 4gb limit? | 05:24 |
| jim_p | joebob777as7: sorry i cant help you then | 05:24 |
| jim_p | scientus: no. on a 32bit system the video memory will be "cut" from ram though | 05:24 |
| Chlorate | jim_p, no clue. What's a command I can do to look it up? | 05:24 |
| jim_p | Chlorate: lspci and let me guess! | 05:25 |
| jim_p | !lshw | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lshw | 05:25 |
| jim_p | does anybody know some stuff about the lshw command? | 05:25 |

| Darksaeder`idle | hello ubuntu lovers :) | 06:05 |
| JasonWoof | same things happens with brightness-down | 06:05 |
| JasonWoof | only way to stop it seems to be to press fn+somethingelse, like fn+pageDn (which is vol-down) or fn+f12 which is scroll lk | 06:06 |
| Darksaeder`idle | can someone point me in the direction of how to set a bash script to run every...(lets say every hour for examply) that will tell wifi radar to disconnect, then reconnect to a certain router/network | 06:07 |
| jim_p | JasonWoof: do the buttons react like "increase brightness" / "decrease brightness" when they are pressed? | 06:07 |
| Darksaeder`idle | example* | 06:07 |
| JasonWoof | yes, the screen brightness functions work as expected | 06:07 |
| Chlorate | jim_p, Nevermind! I have a CD! I will burn it then | 06:07 |
| jim_p | Chlorate: ok then | 06:08 |
| jim_p | JasonWoof: then they work fine. better check if they conflict with some system shortcut | 06:09 |
| Darksaeder`idle | no worries, i found some crontab whitepapers | 06:09 |
| JasonWoof | jim_p: but according to xev there sticking | 06:10 |

| cyrus__ | I am looking for a package (python-gst). The following website says it is in the pacakge repository - http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/python-gst | 06:52 |
| odiv | cool, thanks jim | 06:52 |
| odiv | jamesish: b&w nvidia svideo out. | 06:52 |
| odiv | can't seem to get colour. | 06:52 |
| criso | cyrus__, and? | 06:52 |
| jamesish | odiv: what have you done so far? | 06:52 |
| cyrus__ | criso - when I run apt-get install python-gst it says not found | 06:52 |
| jim_p | cyrus__: python-gst0.10 | 06:53 |
| criso | or download the deb and use dpkg -i | 06:53 |
| criso | the dependencies are standard | 06:53 |
| odiv | gone through every screen of the nvidia x server settings. updated my drivers (which gave me saturation settings, which helped the flicker!) | 06:53 |
| odiv | googling now. :) | 06:53 |
| jamesish | odiv: I suspect jim_p is corret, then. The nvidia driver has a great configuration instructions page online, it'll tell you what the best solution is. I used it to configure dual monitors and whatnot. | 06:54 |
| odiv | also, noob question. How do I kill something I can't find in top? | 06:55 |
| jim_p | odiv: if you know what it is, killall app | 06:57 |
| jim_p | odiv: if you dont know, maximize the terminal window :P | 06:57 |
| odiv | cool. For some reason my ntop isn't starting correctly. | 06:57 |
| odiv | from the parameters in rc.local. | 06:57 |
| jamesish | odiv; alternatively, you can use ps auxww | grep foo where foo is the name of the process to try and find its pid. | 06:57 |
| odiv | maybe something else is starting it first. | 06:57 |
| Geancarlo | hi to all | 06:57 |
| marcustomized | hibyebi | 06:58 |
| odiv | excellent, thank you jamesish and jim. | 06:59 |

| criso | you can sort top | 06:59 |
| Killeroid | hi guys, what is the name of the app that I install emerald themes in? | 06:59 |
| Flannel | odiv: try ps aux instead of top. Or use xkill or one of those sorts of things. | 07:00 |
| u007 | hi, anyone can help me with a corrupted SD ext3 partition? it happened to corrupt due to suspend of the system :( | 07:00 |
| odiv | Flannel: Yeah, ps aux worked just fine. | 07:00 |
| marcustomized | can u corrupt a partition by suspending o.O? | 07:00 |
| odiv | Now I have to figure out what's starting it incorrectly in the first place :) | 07:00 |
| marcustomized | whats wrong with it? | 07:00 |
| odiv | linux: an adventure. :) | 07:01 |
| jamesish | odiv: the w flags on ps expand the listing; so if the name of your program is truncated with the default output, the w flags can sometimes help a lot. | 07:01 |
| u007 | marcustomized, its SDcard, thats why | 07:01 |
| u007 | marcustomized, i just realised it :( | 07:01 |
| odiv | jamesish: I noticed that, thanks. That's how I can tell it's definitely not the one I want to be running (from my rc.local) | 07:01 |
| marcustomized | so you formatted the SD card to Ext3, or are you assuming it is? | 07:02 |
| u007 | marcustomized, it is confirmed on ext3, i was using it b4 it corrupt :( | 07:02 |
| swapna | thanks marcustomized | 07:02 |

| ludwig__ | is this a default file found after a sudo apt-get install bind9? | 07:28 |
| Socialoutcast | should be | 07:28 |
| Socialoutcast | no rndc.conf = no rndc connection lol | 07:28 |

| ludwig__ | i guess i could create it.. is it in etc or in bind directories? | 07:29 |
| marcustomized | volante, as long as u dont mix between 32 bit and 64 bit pkgs | 07:29 |
| Socialoutcast | I would say if u need more than 4 gigs of ram go 64 | 07:29 |

| haydnc | unless you've got something in your machine that would make running 64 bit necessary, like an insanely large amount of RAM, you might as well run 32 bit then | 07:30 |
| tritium | owen1: that depends on your router. | 07:30 |
| marcustomized | there r no cons to running 32bit unless u have over 3 gigs of ram | 07:30 |
| volante | ok cool | 07:31 |
| dr_willis | err.. 4 gb of ram.. | 07:31 |
| ludwig__ | is that a 32bit limit (3 gigs of ram) | 07:31 |
| owen1 | tritium: i have netgear and i follow this guide - http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N101145.asp#RP614Anchor | 07:31 |
| tritium | owen1: good | 07:31 |
| dr_willis | and dependign on the hardware 32bit disrto might be able to use most all of the 4gb. | 07:31 |
| criso | 2 gigs is the usual limit | 07:31 |
| ludwig__ | do ou really have to use 64 bit to use > 3 gb | 07:31 |
| [Solaris] | ludwig__ that microsofts limit | 07:31 |
| haydnc | I thought 32bit could handle 4GB RAM? | 07:31 |
| Socialoutcast | well most 32 bi OS have a address space of only 4 gigs that for everything on your box including ram | 07:31 |
| jim_p | ludwig__: to see more than 4GB | 07:31 |
| owen1 | tritium: but when checking which ports are open it shows 22 as closed - https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2 | 07:31 |
| marcustomized | the 32bit limit is like just under 4 gigs max, including your video ram | 07:31 |
| Ayabara | anyone with a Dell laptop sold with Ubuntu here? | 07:32 |
| owen1 | tritium: even though i opened it! | 07:32 |
| criso | pae allows more than 4GiB | 07:32 |

| ludwig__ | what's the 64 bit limit | 07:32 |
| volante | ok and what about debian vs ubuntu. would ubuntu be a better choice for a desktop system? | 07:32 |
| outbackwifi | hello | 07:32 |
| Socialoutcast | 128 or somehting like that | 07:32 |
| === phoenix_ is now known as phoenix_tiggers | ||
| outbackwifi | !best | 07:32 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 07:32 |
| dr_willis | volante, i perer ubuntu for my desktop/laptop and fileservers :) | 07:33 |
| jim_p | ludwig__: theoritically its 2^64 bytes. practically it depends on the os kernel | 07:33 |
| [Solaris] | another thing about x86 64 linux distros... adobe flash player doesn't work | 07:33 |
| Cheeky | physically_fit: hey man how did you install your flash 10 .. did you do it over flash 9 ? | 07:33 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: This morning I dist-updated the dict DEB program package. | 07:33 |
| jim_p | 2^64 is roughly nubler 16 followed by 18 zeroes | 07:33 |
| Socialoutcast | any luck ludwig? | 07:34 |
| physically_fit | Cheeky, follow these instructions: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.html#install | 07:34 |
| jim_p | *number | 07:34 |
| Ayabara | ziroday, my xps m1530 has a stac 9228 audio codec, and the output power is way lower than in windows. it's reported a bug on it in alsa, that more people have confirmed. Since Dell now sells m1530 with Ubuntu, I figured there maybe are som dellpackages/patches that can solve the problem | 07:34 |
| marcustomized | adobe pr0n player | 07:34 |
| haydnc | [Solaris]: isn't there some way to get Flash running on 64bit Ubuntu? or at least something that can play flash? | 07:34 |
| ludwig__ | about to restart | 07:34 |
| jim_p | i remake my question now | 07:34 |
| [Solaris] | haydnc not that i am aware of atm | 07:34 |
| marcustomized | haydric, try gnash | 07:34 |
| ziroday | Ayabara: you might be best to ask in the ubuntuforums ubuntu dell section | 07:35 |
| phoenix_tiggers | anyone know basic BASH? | 07:35 |
| BAMH1 | Hello everyone! I have been experiencing difficulties installing linux via the 64 bit CD. Whilst I can view the live ubuntu without difficulty, installation unfailingly causes the computer to freeze completely or reboot immediately at around 25% (copying of files, after the successful formatting of the harddrive). | 07:35 |
| ziroday | phoenix_tiggers: what is your question. Also see #bash | 07:35 |
| ludwig__ | ok it failed again | 07:35 |
| jim_p | what is the other alternative of flash player? gnash and...? | 07:35 |
| ludwig__ | but.. new errors | 07:35 |
| BAMH1 | I really want ubuntu. Is there another method of installation to try? | 07:35 |
| Socialoutcast | lol | 07:35 |
| ziroday | jim_p: swfdec | 07:35 |
| Cheeky | physically_fit: wats linux rpm? | 07:35 |
| ziroday | BAMH1: you can try the alternate cd | 07:35 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: what programs do you run now? | 07:35 |
| volante | ok.. and for a new installation on desktop, shall i go for 8.10 or 8.04.. is it easy to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 when it gets oficially released? | 07:35 |
| phoenix_tiggers | I'm in #bash, but my question is how do I do a basic logical OR, this is the statement I'm evaluating : if [ "$knl" = "2.6.24-19-generic" || "2.6.15.5CIT-3-1-06-SMP" ] | 07:35 |
| Ayabara | ziroday, ok | 07:35 |
| BAMH1 | I have already tried the alternative CD on the website and it hasn't worked either sadly. | 07:36 |
| [Solaris] | volante stay with 8.04 | 07:36 |
| haydnc | thanks marcustomized, I'm thinking of running a copy of 64bit Ubuntu along side my existing 32bit version to see how it goes - I'll give gnash a try and see how it handles things like youtube :) | 07:36 |
| jim_p | ziroday: thanks | 07:36 |
| corden | hello guys are you experiencing an internet problem after upgrading your 8.04? | 07:36 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: 6 gnome-terminals and firefox 3. | 07:36 |
| ziroday | BAMH1: does the alternate cd give any errors? Where does it stop? | 07:36 |
| [Solaris] | !ubuntu+1 | 07:36 |
| ubottu | Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents | 07:36 |
| physically_fit | Cheeky, i dunno, i used the other option: i deleted the libflashplayer.so binary first and then i installed flash 10 | 07:36 |
| haydnc | volante: 8.10 isn't officially released until the end of this month, you're probably much better off sticking to 8.04 until then. The upgrade path should be pretty easy | 07:37 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: just in case, what theme are you using? | 07:37 |
| BAMH1 | It does give an error, yes. Umm... IIRC it copies a bunch of files but gets to the kernel and chokes. | 07:37 |
| Cheeky | physically_fit: how did you delete it ..did you do it through terminal .. or snyaptic or some otherway ? | 07:37 |
| tritium | corden: 8.04 has been out since April. Most users have already upgraded successfully with no such problems. | 07:37 |
| u007-2 | marcustomized, if fsck with -b failed, what else can i try? | 07:37 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: 'Glossy' | 07:37 |
| volante | cool thanks for all the advice | 07:37 |
| u007-2 | marcustomized, fsck -b on recovery mode says the device is bz :( | 07:38 |
| volante | i'll install 32 bit 8.04 | 07:38 |
| BAMH1 | And then it tells me that the core installation has failed. | 07:38 |
| ziroday | BAMH1: unfortunatly to help you we need more information, could you please use the alternate cd again and record the error | 07:38 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: no connection to my useless theme that cause it. do you use proper drivers for your vga? | 07:38 |
| Canti | what is the easiest way to create a custom livecd with some applications that need to be installed for source? | 07:38 |
| BAMH1 | Okay. I will certainly do that! | 07:38 |
| marcustomized | fsck -b? | 07:38 |
| BAMH1 | But before I do - | 07:38 |

| ludwig__ | googling | 07:39 |
| tritium | Socialoutcast: the root account is disabled by default. Use sudo instead. | 07:39 |
| jim_p | !root | Socialoutcast | 07:39 |
| ubottu | Socialoutcast: 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 | 07:39 |

| tritium | [Solaris]: it'll call the channel operators | 07:40 |
| cassio0101 | use the sudo with your password | 07:40 |
| [Solaris] | oh heh sorry forgotten about that | 07:40 |
| ludwig__ | if you want to do something root"ish", use sudo | 07:40 |
| dr_willis | cassio0101, direct logging in as root is disabled basically | 07:40 |

| corden | ops sorry i'm just explaining my case | 07:44 |
| zilot | /j #ubuntu-ru | 07:44 |
| ziroday | t1n0m3n: you can do /etc/init.d/x11-common stop IIRC | 07:44 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: so you have an ati. which one is it and what drivers did you install for it? | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | t1n0m3n, restart the gdm service - is one way | 07:44 |
| cyzie | hi, how do i know the package is from which repo ? | 07:45 |
| t1n0m3n | I am trying to make a custom command in gdm to make it restart... thanks for the info | 07:45 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: I told you before: It is ati_drv.so. And This driver is a wrapper. | 07:45 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: what does it mean? isnt fglrx the one for you? | 07:46 |
| bullgard4 | cyzie: Consult packages.ubuntu.com | 07:46 |
| ziroday | t1n0m3n: sorry to restart is /etc/init.d/x11-common restart or you can try restarting gdm with /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 07:46 |
| corden | hope somebody can help with this one | 07:46 |
| corden | by the way FloodBot1 - can't open that site since my internet connection is kept on connecting | 07:46 |
| corden | and that's my problem - cannot establish the connection after the update :( | 07:47 |
| dr_willis | t1n0m3n, Hmm.. check the gdm config files. I recall ages ago there being a extras menu, that had things like shutdown, reboot, and even a 'restart x server' option. | 07:47 |
| dr_willis | t1n0m3n, theres also a 'always restart x server' option. that works around some X bugs | 07:47 |
| t1n0m3n | dr_willis: ahh, ok that would be better, thanks | 07:47 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: The ATI driver ati_drv.so does not drive the screen directly but calls another driver. I do not use fglrx. | 07:47 |
| corden | i can't even access my localhost | 07:47 |
| outbackwifi | corden: what does ifconfig tell you? | 07:48 |
| dr_willis | t1n0m3n, i even recall at one time on some disrto.. you could run the gdm config/theme tool from the gdm screen.. but i dont think that was in ubuntu | 07:48 |

| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:58 |
| physically_fit | Cheeky, it didn't ask me for a path. did you open the tar.gz file? | 07:58 |

I know I can do the latter with Ubuntu Desktop version, but I was wondering if I would be better-off going with the Server version for my needs. What is the main difference between these two? Thanks! | 08:02 |
| marcustomized | yes | 08:02 |
| outbackwifi | Ujjwol: yes | 08:03 |
| physically_fit | Cheeky, then you have to run ./flashplayer-installer from that folder | 08:03 |
| Ujjwol | it is returned proprietary in nVidia's site | 08:03 |
| Tidus | Lul2x: the main difference between the two is simply the last part of the install, where it runs the debian "tasksel" command | 08:03 |
| jim_p | Lul2x: desktop setup will get you to a full desktop, server setup will get you to command line only and you ahve to install the rest | 08:03 |
| outbackwifi | Lul2x: the server version does not come with a graphical interface | 08:03 |
| Ujjwol | ok | 08:03 |
| Tidus | otherwise they're the same distro | 08:03 |
| Ujjwol | how to install Kde 4.1 in ubuntu hardy | 08:03 |
| Cheeky | physically_fit: yeah the installer works..and its asking me to give it a path | 08:04 |
| jim_p | Lul2x: for the rest of the questions, look at how you can make an http server | 08:04 |
| Lul2x | thanks guys. So I can still successfully run my blog from Ubuntu Desktop? I will need php, mysql, and a few other things. The elimination of the "tasksel" command in the Desktop version won't prevent this? | 08:04 |
| Cheeky | physically_fit: it asks me this Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, | 08:05 |
| Cheeky | or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): | 08:05 |
| Lul2x | jim_p: ok, I'll take a look | 08:05 |
| znik | jim_p cant i use my live cd like an alternate cd? | 08:05 |
| outbackwifi | Ujjwol: i guess installing kde-base should do the trick | 08:05 |
| Tidus | Lul2x: tasksel is simply what's run at the end of the alternate or server install cd | 08:05 |
| Ujjwol | ok | 08:05 |
| jim_p | znik: depends on what you want to do | 08:05 |
| Lul2x | I am making a transfer from Gentoo, which has been on my server for a couple of years now and I have become a bit rusty with Linux in the meantime | 08:05 |
| Ujjwol | i am looking to buy Dell XPS m1530 with ubuntu and does the wi-fi and webcam works well in ubuntu | 08:06 |
| znik | jim_p i want to upgrade my gutsy to 8.04.1 | 08:06 |
| Lul2x | I appreciate the advice!' | 08:06 |
| * outbackwifi thinks tasksel has Lul2x confused | 08:06 | |
| criso | Tidus, in other words after running aptitude, they are exactly the same.. | 08:06 |
| outbackwifi | Ujjwol: yes | 08:06 |
| Lul2x | a bit, but I can use google to find out exactly what it does :) | 08:06 |
| criso | Lul2x, just install whatever you have | 08:07 |
| criso | apt has magical online repositories that will work to install whatever you want | 08:07 |
| criso | unless this is an offline webserver :/ | 08:07 |
| Flannel | !lamp | Lul2x | 08:07 |
| ubottu | Lul2x: 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+) | 08:07 |
| Lul2x | nope, it'll be online | 08:07 |
| Ujjwol | what is messenger to use the video call | 08:07 |
| Tidus | criso: yes, basically | 08:07 |
| criso | Lul2x, just install with the CD you have and go from there | 08:07 |
| nxmehta | just started working with ubuntu server- does ubuntu not use inetd? what's the ubuntu way of dealing with internet services? | 08:08 |
| Tidus | Lul2x: the server install cd gives you the option to have a pre-configured LAMP server set up, but it's easily doable on the desktop edition as well | 08:08 |
| Cheeky | physically_fit: does it have to go to the /usr/lib/mozilla folder ? or the mozilla folder thats hidden in your /home/user directory ? | 08:08 |
| Tidus | nxmehta: i think it uses xinetd | 08:08 |
| outbackwifi | nxmehta: xinetd | 08:08 |
| jim_p | znik: if you can add it as a cd rom source, then yes. i dont know if the "nature" of the cd allows it to be added that way. anyway, with the cd rom in the drive run sudo apt-cdrom add | 08:08 |
| Lul2x | ok, cool. This is incredible, you guys are so much help. I'm used to the old-school linux rooms where noone is willing to help--only show their superiority by not helping at all :P | 08:08 |
| physically_fit | Cheeky, did you delete the libflashplayer.so that was in your home/mozilla directory? | 08:09 |
| Lul2x | Thank Tidus. It would be nice to have the desktop gui and then install LAMP after. The server won't be hardcore, so this way I get the best of both worlds :) | 08:09 |
| znik | jim_p would u join me in an IM? | 08:09 |
| Cheeky | physically_fit: yes i did | 08:09 |
| nxmehta | ok, xinetd... looks like it's not installed by default on ubuntu server 8.04? i have to apt-get it... | 08:09 |
| physically_fit | Cheeky, if so, then give that path (i never got that question though) | 08:10 |
| Cheeky | physically_fit: i went to /home/cheeky / .mozilla / plugin and deleted it | 08:10 |
| physically_fit | k | 08:10 |
| Tidus | Lul2x: see, i hate the old-school linux rooms that did that. it does nothing to advance the open source world | 08:10 |
| Lul2x | oh, one last thing. is the home directory still the same style? E.g. /home/pat (I ask b/c I'm afraid some file links may fail when I transfer my server files) | 08:10 |
| outbackwifi | Lul2x: yes | 08:10 |
| Tidus | Lul2x: yes, it's the same style. that's a LSB standard (Linux Standard Base) which ubuntu loosely adheres to | 08:11 |
| Lul2x | thought so, just wanted to double-check | 08:11 |
| Lul2x | thanks a ton, I'm going to start downloading :D | 08:11 |
| criso | basically ubuntu doesn't put in enough effort (microsoft..) to come up with crazy ways to breaks everything | 08:11 |
| Tidus | lol... MS releases a patch to fix what they broke in the last patch | 08:12 |
| outbackwifi | Lul2x: you might want to install any version that says LTS (long Term Support) | 08:12 |
| Lul2x | ok, I'll take a look outbackwifi | 08:13 |
| Lul2x | 8.04 looks good (support until 2011) :) | 08:13 |

At the moment it just clones the other dektop, but I want it to send particular windows on to the second monitor. Any ideas? I've tried editing xorg.conf but it is earily barron.. so the GDM must use other configs, is this right? help! | 08:28 |
| paul68 | criso on windows fort the moment cs3 and office2007 since I have to run support on it at work | 08:28 |
| paul68 | that's the main reason that I don't switch completly to linux just yet | 08:29 |
| criso | paul68, do you need cs3 for any professional print work? | 08:29 |
| joebob777as7 | paul68, same for me with cs3 and lightroom unfortunately but luckily I can run them both in a vm with VirtualBox | 08:30 |
| criso | I'd go ahead and try to learn gimp and try to use (ugh) openoffice | 08:30 |
| joebob777as7 | don't bother with gimp there is no alternative to photoshop CS3 | 08:30 |
| criso | also look into crossover or bordeauxgroup.com | 08:30 |
| criso | joebob777as7, are you sure? | 08:31 |
| paul68 | Well the cs3 I mainly use for creating pdf's since I'm not familiar with a program that does this under linux | 08:31 |
| criso | the main objection I've heard is cmyk in gimp | 08:31 |
| joebob777as7 | closest would be pixel criso | 08:31 |
| outbackwifi | subdolus: try xinerama | 08:31 |
| paul68 | but use from time to time photoshop and illustrater to | 08:31 |
| joebob777as7 | paul68, good illustrator alternative would be inkscape | 08:32 |
| criso | I didn't even know cs3 was good for making pdfs.. | 08:32 |
| joebob777as7 | criso, in combo with acrobat pro there is no competition | 08:32 |
| paul68 | criso in the complete cs3 pqckage you have adobe acrobat professional who does this perfectly | 08:33 |
| joebob777as7 | I've never found a linux app that can do as good with compression and whites as acrobat pro | 08:33 |
| criso | yes but what does cs3 do specifically for pdf? | 08:33 |
| criso | I have acrobat | 08:33 |

| criso | wireshark can parse imap I think | 08:50 |
| bustaplz | I'm trying to change the output location of cups-pdf but if I change it from anything but default it stops working completely! | 08:50 |
| dr_willis | foo, next release is due out in like 30 days also. :) | 08:50 |
| vinka | criso: this seems like a non-ideal troubleshooting stage | 08:50 |
| overrider | joebob777as7, thanks, nolapro looks like a great piece of software. issue is only, it is way too complex for my needs. i would use nolapro for running a small business or so, but for personal home finance, its too much. id love something like grisbi,gnucash or homebank but as an online version. badger is online, but really buggy and not under development for over a year. any other suggestions? | 08:50 |
| Flannel | foo: You can install v3 locally. Its really easy. Or stick with v2. | 08:51 |
| jamesish | bustaplz: I imagine man cups-pdf or cups-pdf --help will assist some. | 08:51 |
| foo | dr_willis: hm, I'll just wait | 08:51 |
| Flannel | foo: Nothing wrong with version 2, that's for sure. | 08:51 |
| foo | Flannel: yeah, I grabbed the source, unzipped... ran ./firefox ... voila | 08:51 |
| criso | the problem is that imap can do weird things with archiving messages on the server | 08:51 |
| joebob777as7 | overrider, why online? | 08:51 |
| bustaplz | I know how to edit and what syntax to use but I cannot make it change | 08:51 |
| nik_ | hi, i am having trouble with DLing patchs for WoW. getting Error #125...anyone know anything about that? | 08:51 |
| jamesish | overrider: try lessaccounting.com -- it's pretty awesome. | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | foo, that wasent really 'source' :) but we get the idea | 08:51 |
| Flannel | foo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion make sure you didnt miss anything. | 08:51 |
| foo | dr_willis: ha, that's true, I guess it isn't | 08:52 |
| bustaplz | if I set it back to ${HOME}/PDF it works fine again, but I want it to go to /home/me/Desktop/Share/PDF, if I try this or ${HOME}/Desktop/Share/PDF it stops functioning | 08:52 |
| bustaplz | am I mistyping something? | 08:52 |
| jamesish | bustaplz: use a symlink. | 08:52 |
| overrider | joebob777as7, dunno, im just looking for something online so i can easily switch platforms and os, have my wife who uses windows use it also and so on. also, my calendar and taskmanager, projectmanager is online, so naturally id like my finance app to be online, even if its in my local lan | 08:52 |
| overrider | jamesish, ill try, thanks. but i think its hosted only | 08:52 |
| bustaplz | hmmm | 08:53 |
| hml | is there an easy way in ubuntu to get BadRAM module, or do I have to follow the insturctionss at help.ubuntu.com/community/BadRAM ? | 08:53 |
| bustaplz | Could you tell me how to create on for those directories? | 08:53 |
| bustaplz | I never even considered that! | 08:53 |
| joebob777as7 | overrider, do you have a window or linux server on your lan? | 08:53 |
| nik_ | has anyone got the patches for WoW to work? | 08:53 |
| === Guest87799 is now known as msh | ||
| overrider | joebob777as7, yeah | 08:53 |
| msh | I have installed firestarter and I want it to start on each startup how do I do that? | 08:54 |
| jamesish | bustaplz: man ln, paying attention to the ln -s option. OR right click in Nautilus and choose "create shortcut" or whatever it's called. | 08:54 |
| Daft_Punk | say you have a theme you like in emerald but it doesnt use "shade" feature, how can you enable it on that theme? | 08:54 |
| joebob777as7 | overrider, you can run it on that and just use nomachine, x forwarding, or rdp (terminal services) | 08:54 |
| bustaplz | haha doing this through ssh so no easy button for me | 08:54 |
| joebob777as7 | it as in gnucash | 08:54 |
| bustaplz | going to go investigate, thank you | 08:54 |
| enzotib_ | msh: it is the default for the backend, the frontend is started from the menu | 08:54 |
| overrider | joebob777as7, could :-) | 08:54 |
| jamesish | bustaplz: use ssh -Y then open nautilus. | 08:54 |
| joebob777as7 | jamesish, yeah been through that but it doesn't fix my nvidia issue it just sticks me back to using vesa... | 08:55 |
| marcustomized | joebob777as7, i tried writing you a new xorg.conf here http://pastebin.ca/1218782 | 08:55 |
| _coredump_ | moinsen | 08:55 |
| bustaplz | i'm actually on putty, so that won't work will it? | 08:55 |
| joebob777as7 | marcustomized, thx I'll teset it out | 08:55 |
| msh | enzotib: so it means its started on each startup? | 08:55 |
| Hern | zdravim vsechny | 08:56 |
| jamesish | bustaplz: never underestimate X's powers. But ln -s is really what you should use. Surprised you're comfortable using ssh but not ln -s. Putty has some built in X windows stuff, but you'll need to read up on it; naturally, you can't pass in the -Y flag on startup. Try installing cygwin, though, then you can. | 08:56 |
| dr_willis | bustaplz, with xming, you can x forward x apps to the windows desktop. :) | 08:56 |
| enzotib_ | msh: yep, check with pgrep firestarter | 08:56 |
| bustaplz | it's been a while since I've done the linux thing so i've forgotten some commands | 08:56 |
| marcustomized | joebob, u may need to adjust the horizontal sync rate i suggested because I pretty much guessed | 08:57 |
| msh | enzotib :ok :) | 08:57 |
| bustaplz | i'll look into xming and cygwin | 08:57 |
| jamesish | bustaplz: makes sense :) With a little time, it'll all come flooding back like some kind of unstoppable nightmare which will haunt your days and nights. | 08:57 |
| bustaplz | sounds interesting | 08:57 |
| dr_willis | bustaplz, cygwin is a bit out of date i think.. xming is handy.. :) | 08:58 |
| bustaplz | I've been doing this all day | 08:58 |
| bustaplz | i love it | 08:58 |
| bustaplz | okay | 08:58 |
| bustaplz | is it just a client like putty? | 08:58 |
| DaveKong | what is the difference between joining through freenode vs ubuntu servers and oftc vs debian servers? | 08:59 |
| dr_willis | bustaplz, its a X server for windows. | 08:59 |
| dr_willis | bustaplz, it can work with putty | 08:59 |
| bustaplz | haha you're going to have me up all night | 08:59 |
| Daft_Punk | say you have a theme you like in emerald but it doesnt use "shade" feature, how can you enable it on that theme? | 09:00 |
| bustaplz | i imagine I have to be running X running to use something like Xming? | 09:00 |
| jamesish | X has to be installed on both machines, but it doesn't have to be running on both, only on the local machine. | 09:02 |

| marcustomized | Kelen, what? | 09:23 |
| maco | Kelen: right click the volume thing, go to open volume control. unlock PCM or Front (varies by computer) and move the sliders independently | 09:23 |
| marcustomized | maco, I want to know how you deciphered that sentence | 09:24 |

| xjohnthomasx | can anyone help me get my videos and mp3's to play on my new ubuntu 8.04? i thought i'd installed all the necessary codecs with ubuntu-restricted.. but i guess not maybe? | 09:25 |
| slytherin | has anyone successfully installed IE7 using wine? | 09:26 |
| maco | slytherin: ies4linux has ie7 | 09:26 |
| marcustomized | xjohnthomasx, just install totem with the xine backend | 09:26 |
| slytherin | maco: I will check | 09:26 |
| maco | slytherin: it looks like ie6 still, but they've got ie6's gui rigged up with ie7's rendering engine | 09:26 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: i did that.. but how do i know if it's running? it still eff's up | 09:26 |
| marcustomized | plays just about everything | 09:26 |
| slytherin | maco: is it ies4linux or ie4linux? | 09:27 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: how do i switch between -xine and -gstreamer for totem? | 09:27 |
| marcustomized | what do u mean, "if it's running"? Are you not getting audio or something | 09:27 |
| Kelen | maco: thanks a lot.. | 09:27 |
| xjohnthomasx | i get stuttering video.. and no audio.. and rhythmbox doesnt playmp3's either.. | 09:27 |
| Kelen | maco: i got it. | 09:27 |
| maco | slytherin: er...something along those general lines? tatanka i think for the website name | 09:27 |
| DaveKong | ok I ran uname -a and it says ubuntu x86_64 ... so that means I am in 64 bit right? | 09:28 |
| slytherin | maco: ok, then it is ies4linux | 09:28 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: i get stuttering video.. no audio.. rhythmnbox doesnt play mp3's either.. | 09:29 |

| Peddy | can someone please explain the difference between eth0 and wlan0? Thanks. | 09:29 |
| marcustomized | totem-xine should automatically use the xine backend, so im guessing u have both totem xine, and totem-gstreamer installed | 09:29 |
| marcustomized | if thats possible | 09:30 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: i do, but where is the totem-xine, or should i uninstall gstreamer? | 09:30 |
| xjohnthomasx | why does gstreamer exist, if it messes up and doesnt work? | 09:30 |
| slytherin | DaveKong: No, it simply means that your machines architecture is x86_64 | 09:30 |
| ubbuntu-newbie | @ all im using fiesty fawn ubuntu 7.04 and want to upgrade to gutsy... do i have to download 625 MB???? or is there a quicker way???(less download time) | 09:30 |
| marcustomized | keep gstreamer, because I think rhythmbox can only use a gstreamer backend | 09:30 |
| marcustomized | uninstall totem xine | 09:30 |
| slytherin | marcustomized: xjohnthomasx: totem uses only one backend at a time | 09:31 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | vlc player is great!!! | 09:31 |
| Ab3L | hello everybody. ciao a tutti. salut à tout le monde... | 09:31 |
| maco | Peddy: eth0 = first ethernet device. wlan0 = name of first wireless device with intel wifi, maybe some others | 09:31 |
| marcustomized | and install every gstreamer plugin package in synaptic | 09:31 |
| DaveKong | slytherin, how do I know if I am running 64 bit? | 09:31 |
| ubbuntu-newbie | im using fiesty fawn ubuntu 7.04 and want to upgrade to gutsy... do i have to download 625 MB???? or is there a quicker way???(less download time) | 09:31 |
| steve_ | i installed postgresql i cant find where it is in the system | 09:31 |
| Peddy | maco: so if I want to configure IP masquerading, do I choose eth0 or wlan0 for NAT? | 09:31 |
| maco | DaveKong: "uname -a" output says so | 09:32 |
| marcustomized | slytherin, my mistake, i dont use ubuntu, just going off of stuff i vaguely remember about Fiesty | 09:32 |
| maco | Peddy: depends if you're using wifi or wired. eth0 is your wired one, wlan0 is your wireless | 09:32 |
| Peddy | maco: I'm using wireless ;) | 09:32 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: ok, i uninstalled totem-gstreamer, and then the video seemed to play all right for about 30seconds.. and then it froze, and totem crashed | 09:32 |
| === arash_ is now known as |PiP| | ||
| maco | Peddy: then wlan0 | 09:33 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: what kind of vide is it? | 09:33 |
| slytherin | DaveKong: no idea | 09:33 |
| maco | Peddy: though i've no clue what IP masquerading is | 09:33 |
| xjohnthomasx | a movie | 09:33 |
| marcustomized | what codec? | 09:33 |
| DaveKong | maco, it says 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP ... x86_64 GNU/Linux | 09:33 |
| xjohnthomasx | you mean suffix? it's a mpg | 09:33 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | I want to know if the MADWIFI drivers that come with the ubuntu distro supports INJECTION for AIRCRACK already or do I need to install a different version? | 09:33 |
| maco | DaveKong: see the 64? | 09:33 |
| Kelen | maco: in addition. is it possible for ubuntu to upgrade kernel automatically? | 09:33 |
| maco | PeoplesAdvocate: try and see what happens? | 09:33 |
| Peddy | maco: IP masquerading is the linux equivalent of Internet Connection Sharing | 09:34 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: mpg | 09:34 |
| DaveKong | maco I see a 64 but not in the kernel name just the part later | 09:34 |
| Peddy | maco: so is eth0 not being used at all? | 09:34 |
| Peddy | if I use wifi | 09:34 |
| maco | Kelen: i dont believe so. that's a big change and requires a reboot. automatic rebooting while you're doing important things isn't my idea of a feature. | 09:34 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: I don't understand why you are having trouble playing it with totem-gstreamer. Did you install all the gstreamer codecs in repositories? | 09:34 |
| slytherin | Peddy: of course not | 09:34 |
| mart | Peddy, yes | 09:34 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: how will i know? | 09:34 |
| marcustomized | see, i've always used only one backend for everything, he's mixing them | 09:34 |
| maco | DaveKong: yeah, that's the part that tells you. -a is "all" i forget which flag (-r maybe?) tells just the architecture | 09:34 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: open System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and search for gstreamer. | 09:35 |
| xjohnthomasx | ok, and then what? | 09:35 |
| Peddy | thanks maco | 09:35 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: ok and then what? | 09:35 |
| DaveKong | maco, ok thanks... so now I just need to add the location of the root for the 32 bit install to Grub and I can boot either? | 09:35 |
| Peddy | slytherin: isn't eth9 a LAN device? | 09:36 |
| Peddy | slytherin: eth0* | 09:36 |
| marcustomized | xjohn, are all the "bad", "good", and "base" sets installed | 09:36 |
| slytherin | Peddy: yes it is. | 09:36 |
| kdavey | Hello all | 09:36 |
| marcustomized | also the "ugly" set | 09:36 |
| Peddy | slytherin: you said 'of course not', was that 'of course it isn't used' or 'of course it isn't not used'? | 09:37 |
| Peddy | heh | 09:37 |
| maco | DaveKong: /me looks at you funny. "grub should have been automatically set up" | 09:37 |
| mart | it isn't use | 09:37 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: make sure you have installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg. Then make sure you have totem-gstreamer installed. | 09:37 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: it seems to have at least one of each of those sets.. it doesn't have a few packages from each of those sets, usually with suffix -db or -dc etc. | 09:37 |
| slytherin | Peddy: when you are using wifi why would your ethernet card be used? | 09:37 |
| Peddy | slytherin: as a LAN device :P | 09:38 |
| Peddy | slytherin: for the wlan | 09:38 |
| marcustomized | install everything gstreamer, uninstall totem-xine and replace it with totem-gstreamer | 09:38 |
| DaveKong | maco well that is why I am confused and why I thought I might not be 64 Grub set up my windows and other installs but does not show the 32 bit ubuntu | 09:38 |
| Peddy | slytherin: ok I'll tell you how I got confused | 09:38 |
| Zhane | hey | 09:38 |
| slytherin | Peddy: No. eth0 is for wired lan, wlano is wireless lan | 09:38 |
| Zhane | is there any guide for writing device driver module? | 09:38 |
| maco | Zhane: don't waste your money on the book Linux Device Drivers v 3. it's terribly outdated. | 09:39 |
| slytherin | Zhane: for which device do you wish to write driver? | 09:39 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: i had all those things installed before.. | 09:39 |
| Peddy | slytherin: Firestarter autodetects wlan0 as a 'internet connected network device' , and it autodetects wlan0 as 'local area network device'. | 09:39 |
| maco | Zhane: it's also creative-commons licensed and thus available freely online | 09:39 |

| Kelen | maco: yep, i know it's a require to reboot while i done some important thing with system. i just don't know the kernel will be upgrade automatic or not. | 09:40 |
| marcustomized | delete the "/gstreamer" folder in your home folder | 09:40 |
| marcustomized | its hidden | 09:40 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: check in totem preferences if you have messed up hue and saturation settings | 09:40 |
| marcustomized | ".gstreamer" | 09:40 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: it's stuttering too.. i ddnt change nay settings.. | 09:40 |

| georgeaf | hey ppl, pppd disconnects automatically for me just after connecting | 09:41 |

| maco | DaveKong: /usr/local? well that's a bad idea. if you compile something for 64bit, it won't run on your 32bit system. /boot can also cause a bit of an interesting situation when multibooting...get filled up with all those kernels...and ubuntu expects grub to be installed on the mbr | 09:42 |
| georgeaf | i have a licensed linuxant driver | 09:42 |
| marcustomized | if i recall, its in your home directory, within the hidden ".config" folder | 09:43 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: where's the totem folder im supposed to delee? | 09:43 |
| mibilub | #list | 09:43 |
| maco | DaveKong: probably didn't know to add the other install's lines because of your separate /boot | 09:43 |
| maco | DaveKong: so yeah, add them manually and it should be fine | 09:43 |
| marcustomized | if it isnt there, check the ".gconf" folders | 09:43 |
| ziroday | georgeaf: what are you trying to connect to? What guide are you following? What model modem do oyu have? | 09:43 |
| kdavey | Anyone else having problems getting Kubuntu 8.10Beta to use resolutions over 800x600 in Virtualbox? | 09:44 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: totem deleted. now what? | 09:44 |
| marcustomized | ok | 09:44 |
| ziroday | kdavey: ask in #kubuntu | 09:44 |
| marcustomized | close out totem if if it isnt already, then try to play your video again | 09:44 |
| georgeaf | i'm trying to connect to my ISP. I'm not following any guide AND my modem is an Intel HDA (on an Acer laptop) which is actually conexant | 09:44 |
| hanak | anyone knows why my network speed is so slow | 09:44 |
| hanak | on ubuntu? | 09:44 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: still blue and slow and stuttering with no audio | 09:45 |
| leetsauce | hey guys, can i install the 8.10 beta on a machine that already has windows xp? will it update itself to the full version when it's out? | 09:45 |
| ziroday | georgeaf: okay, one moment please | 09:45 |
| Daremonai | ziroday, it's not a fresh install, i've been running it for months, well, actually i had it since 8.04 was released. It doesn't do it on start up, what it does is it loads GUI and at some point (random times - for me anyway) it does what i described above. And if I reset, on boot it tells me "Kernel Panic" blabla | 09:45 |
| georgeaf | ziroday: ok thanks | 09:45 |
| marcustomized | xjohn, then I have no idea what the issue is | 09:45 |
| ortsvorsteher | hanak, how is your computer connected? | 09:45 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: you have ideas? | 09:45 |
| hanak | ortsvorsteher: wireless | 09:45 |
| leetsauce | anyone? | 09:46 |
| ziroday | Daremonai: can you see if the issue persists with a fresh install? | 09:46 |
| hanak | ortsvorsteher: i dont have speed above 30kb 40kb same wifi card on windows i get 1mb. | 09:46 |
| ortsvorsteher | are your near the access point? hanak | 09:46 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: I never had any problem with any file with gstreamer, not sure why it is not working for you. | 09:46 |
| Daremonai | ziroday, I can't do a fresh install now.. am trying to fix it without having to install again.. I have a LOT of services running and stuff :( | 09:46 |
| leetsauce | hey guys, can i install the 8.10 beta on a machine that already has windows xp? will it update itself to the full version when it's out? | 09:47 |
| ziroday | leetsauce: yes, however the beta is extremely unstable, can destroy your hardware and its not recommend at all. | 09:47 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: i need to get the videos and mp3s to playback. i had all those files installed. i have a quad core 2.64, nvidia geforce 8400, 3gb ram, and ubuntu 8.04.. what should i do? i made sure the restricted, and the w32codecs, and the gstreamer were installed.. but it's not working.. | 09:48 |
| leetsauce | so what do you recommend? do i install v8.04 or wait for v8.10 final? | 09:48 |
| Daremonai | ziroday, do you know which log file i should check so that i can further diagnoze the problem? | 09:48 |
| hanak | leetsauce: yeah | 09:48 |
| ziroday | Daremonai: no sorry. | 09:48 |
| mart | leetsauce, just install hardy | 09:48 |
| ziroday | leetsauce: install 8.04 | 09:48 |
| DaveKong | maco, ok thanks wish I could fine some more comprehensive stuff on this I read everything I could find over the course of some days | 09:48 |
| leetsauce | okay | 09:49 |
| leetsauce | anyone here tried installing ubuntu on a toshiba laptop? | 09:49 |
| hanak | damn i hate that speed, damn :p | 09:49 |
| HNSZ | I have a problem installing linux on a toshiba satellite s300. After a while the screen will scramble. It happens before any of the installation steps. | 09:49 |
| maco | DaveKong: look for grub.conf on google. it's called that in lots of distros. | 09:49 |
| hanak | leetsauce: yeah I before but quite long time | 09:49 |
| marcustomized | xjohn, seek out and delete all gstreamer/totem settings hidden in your home folder | 09:49 |
| HNSZ | leetsauce: yes me | 09:49 |
| marcustomized | delete the ".xine" folder too | 09:49 |
| xjohnthomasx | marcustomized: where would all those be? | 09:49 |
| leetsauce | cool, is it possible to dual boot? | 09:49 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: please paste output of command - dpkg -l gstreamer0.10* - in pastebin | 09:50 |
| marcustomized | within your home folder | 09:50 |
| leetsauce | and should i get the 23bit version or 64bit? | 09:50 |
| leetsauce | 32*bit | 09:50 |
| hanak | Why not, its just your bootsector no? | 09:50 |
| marcustomized | scattered in everything that starts with a "." | 09:50 |
| hanak | If you install windows first then linux. | 09:50 |
| slytherin | leetsauce: why do you think it won't be possible to do dual boot? | 09:50 |
| hanak | he will make dualboot | 09:50 |
| mart | i'm using dual boot right now | 09:50 |
| slytherin | leetsauce: and 32 or 64 bit depends on your processor | 09:50 |
| leetsauce | slytherin: just asking :D | 09:50 |
| mart | no problem at all | 09:50 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: http://pastebin.com/m8585952 | 09:50 |
| ziroday | leetsauce: yes, and deciding between those is up to you. Some apps don't run on 32bit whilst 64bit can be faster and can use more then 3.5GB ram | 09:51 |
| mart | my machine is 64, but i install 32 | 09:51 |
| leetsauce | i have a 64bit processor, but i heard there aren't much programs for 64bit | 09:51 |
| DaveKong | maco: alright and I will just have to keep a careful eye on what I put in usr/local for /home I am following the advice of using different user logins to keep things seperate on the same partition | 09:51 |
| mart | 64bit is hard to find right soft | 09:51 |
| leetsauce | i just need basic functionality though, no games or anything.. | 09:51 |
| mart | not all are supported | 09:51 |
| kdavey | yea give it another 2 or 3 years and 64bit will be king | 09:51 |
| mart | then just wait till that time to come | 09:52 |
| georgeaf | ziroday: can i somehow log what happens in windows and then do the same in linux ? | 09:52 |
| Daremonai | s | 09:52 |
| leetsauce | is there a significant speed difference between 32bit and 64bit? is it noticeable? | 09:52 |
| slytherin | leetsauce: you won't have luck with flash on 64 bit. | 09:52 |
| r_a_j_e | is it ok to install 386 ubuntu on 64 bit processor? | 09:52 |
| georgeaf | ziroday: i mean like the init string and all these | 09:52 |
| Daremonai | ziroday, in /var/log/syslog: ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. - does that matter? | 09:52 |
| maco | DaveKong: that's safe for /home for /usr/local ...when you compile, use --prefix=/usr/local/64 or /usr/local/32 (create those directories) to keep things separate | 09:52 |
| ziroday | georgeaf: no, as in windows those logs aren't displayed | 09:53 |
| DaveKong | maco ok thanks a lot for all your help | 09:53 |
| mart | it will make things complicated | 09:53 |
| mart | unless ur running server | 09:53 |
| maco | DaveKong: honestly, desktop system.... / /home & swap are all ya need. servers separate /var to keep DOS attacks from flooding their entire / and killing it all. unlikely you need that on a desktop system | 09:53 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: did you see that? http://pastebin.com/m8585952 | 09:53 |
| ziroday | Daremonai: don't think so, but I am not an expert on the matter. You may want to file a bug | 09:53 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: yes, you have all the necessary plugins installed. | 09:53 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: my playback is stuttering, slow, no audio, and blue in totem! | 09:53 |
| Daremonai | ziroday, mmm okay | 09:53 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: is the file available somewhere for download? | 09:53 |
| xjohnthomasx | no, it's any mpeg | 09:54 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: then something else is wrong. | 09:54 |
| DaveKong | maco ok | 09:54 |

| Computech | mart, and also it looks like in synaptic that gparted isn't installed at the moment | 09:59 |
| smidge | Daft_Punk_: use control-alt-F1 to get a console up | 10:00 |
| Daft_Punk_ | smidge, i cant get a console because i cant see anything at all, just my background image | 10:00 |
| slytherin | Daft_Punk: Use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to go to console and use this command - rm -rf ~/.compiz. Come back to GUI with Ctrl + Alt + F7, see if it helps | 10:00 |
| smidge | yes | 10:00 |
| slytherin | leetsauce: wait | 10:00 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: should i just try using all xine stuff instead of gstreamer? | 10:00 |
| smidge | this is seperate to the gu | 10:00 |
| smidge | gui | 10:00 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: what's the difference between them? | 10:00 |
| Daft_Punk_ | slytherin, will that ruin my compiz settings at all? | 10:00 |
| smidge | nope it will take you out of x-windows temporarily | 10:00 |

| Computech | mart, ok :) | 10:01 |
| georgeaf | i think i'll try another dialer | 10:01 |
| georgeaf | instead of wvdial | 10:01 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: do you think it might be problem with video card? But that still doesn't explain why there is no audio. | 10:01 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: no, no prob with video or audio card.. | 10:01 |
| mart | computech, press alt+f2 | 10:01 |
| Computech | ye | 10:01 |
| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: it's definitely something to do with the software | 10:01 |

| Computech | mart, it begins loading for about10 sec and then stops :o, by the way, this is a installed ubuntu, maybe thats why it doesn't work here?, does it only work if you run a live cd? | 10:03 |
| ziroday | leetsauce: great. | 10:03 |
| slytherin | Daft_Punk_: what marcustomized said | 10:03 |
| Daft_Punk_ | slytherin, yeah i did it im checking now | 10:03 |
| leetsauce | good :) | 10:03 |
| leetsauce | can anyone find me the dvd iso link... i cant find it on the website | 10:03 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: I am out of ideas. Please file a bug. | 10:03 |
| Daft_Punk_ | slytherin, marcustomized same thing... all windows are still opacify, i cant see nothing | 10:03 |
| mart | computech, go to command then run"sudo apt-get install gparted" | 10:04 |
| smidge | that is because it is configured through the gconf backend | 10:04 |
| mart | without quote, see if it's already installed | 10:04 |
| slytherin | Daft_Punk_: obviously your GUI didn't start. Otherwise you wouldn't be here. I suggest you close down all the programs and then restart machine | 10:04 |
| Computech | mart, is that possible on a live cd to? or is it installed on a live cd by default? | 10:04 |
| Daft_Punk_ | slytherin, again, i am working on my laptop issue, i am on a desktop right now | 10:05 |
| mart | computech, it's available on live cd but not installed | 10:05 |
| marcustomized | slytherin, are the compiz settings stored somewhere else? | 10:05 |
| mart | what do u have now? | 10:05 |
| Computech | mart, i just go try something, be right back | 10:05 |

| crd1b | smidge: that's not what he set | 10:06 |
| marcustomized | gconf is so retarded | 10:06 |
| crd1b | he misspelled "opacity windows" in his original post | 10:06 |
| slytherin | maco: ies4linux doesn't have IE7 | 10:06 |
| crd1b | Daft_Punk_: just start metacity or boot into the Failsafe GNOME session from the login screen if you don't know how | 10:06 |
| Peddy | Can someone please help me with configuring NAT? | 10:06 |
| crd1b | then you can fix that setting in CCSM at your leisure | 10:07 |
| Daft_Punk_ | ok. my LAPTOP has this problem (i am on desktop right now). i was in CCSM and went to General settings and was in opacity settings, and added a new value so that ALL windows (any) are set at 0 opacity, which means i can see absolutely nothing except my desktop wallpaper... | 10:08 |
| Daft_Punk_ | i dont care if i have to redo my entire compiz settings, how can i reset it all | 10:08 |
| crd1b | Daft_Punk_: yes, so log out, then select the "Failsafe GNOME" session at the login screen | 10:08 |
| Daft_Punk_ | crd1b, then what? | 10:08 |
| crd1b | then you will be able to fix that setting in CCSM | 10:09 |
| crd1b | as the failsafe session will not start compiz | 10:09 |
| Daft_Punk_ | crd1b, ok give me a second its rebooting now | 10:09 |
| maco | slytherin: look around the site, there's a version on there that does. | 10:09 |
| maco | slytherin: it might be ies4linux beta | 10:09 |
| Daft_Punk_ | crd1b, i am just panicky cuz it took me 1 week to get my laptop the way it was :( before i broked it | 10:09 |

| Daft_Punk_ | crd1b, what is in there? | 10:12 |
| slytherin | jitu3485: no there is no way to revert back | 10:13 |
| crd1b | Daft_Punk_: compiled plugins and some session information | 10:13 |
| Daft_Punk_ | crd1b, i had lots of compiled plugins :( | 10:13 |
| smidge | sometimes compiz can be configured to run with that file as settings, but in ubuntu it uses gconf | 10:13 |
| jitu3485 | ziroday, i still have 8.04 updated it with unstable repo and want revert back to stable one removing everything installed by unstable ones | 10:13 |
| mart | anyone got compiz run with wow? | 10:13 |

| mart | madwizard, aren't they still linux? | 10:18 |
| mart | i don't see the big differences | 10:19 |
| MAdWizard` | Now what I would like to do at this point in install the chipset drivers for my motherboard, already downloaded them. | 10:19 |
| bullgard4 | What fonts are collected in /usr/share/consolefonts? | 10:19 |
| aion | hello everyone, could someone please tell me why i have "Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" when I am trying to install ati drivers from their server on ubuntu 8.10 b? | 10:19 |
| maco | slytherin: ah ok | 10:20 |
| Peddy | Can someone please help me with configuring NAT? | 10:20 |
| MAdWizard` | mart I am test/trying out Ubuntu linux to see if I like it to run as a server for my home network | 10:20 |
| marcustomized | chipset drivers?! | 10:20 |
| mart | oh i see. | 10:20 |
| ziroday | MAdWizard`: you shouldn't need to install any chipset drivers. They are already there for you. | 10:20 |
| mart | i think centos would be better for server | 10:21 |
| MAdWizard` | ziAck | 10:21 |
| mart | madwizard, but home server, i have no ideas | 10:21 |

| Terabyte | Hey how can I install xlib-dev package in ubuntu? | 10:21 |
| marcustomized | pure debian is pretty good for servers | 10:21 |
| ziroday | Terabyte: sudo apt-get install xlib-dev | 10:22 |
| rski | Terabyte: sudo apt-get install xlib-dev in a terminal | 10:22 |
| marcustomized | and slackware | 10:22 |
| MAdWizard` | ok Ziroday the motherboard and CPU are 64 bit, and Ubuntu installed as a 32 bit. | 10:22 |

| plouffe | how can I edit the bootmanager? | 10:25 |
| crazy_bus | is there any easy way to use two programs with a webcam at once? Will I have to compile vloopback? As I tried that but modprobe can't find it | 10:25 |
| marcustomized | editing the file at "/boot/grub/menu.lst" | 10:26 |
| davidryder | ziroday: i'm watching to help, but i want to chat at the same time | 10:26 |
| ziroday | plouffe: by editing the file /boot/grub/menu.lst Makse sure you know what you are doing as you can render your system unbootable | 10:26 |
| MAdWizard` | sly found the CDs but not the book, on 10 years ago | 10:26 |
| MAdWizard` | seams like 15 though | 10:26 |
| maniheer | so pastebin it and let us make sure | 10:26 |
| ziroday | davidryder: then join both channels :) | 10:26 |
| plouffe | Thanks | 10:26 |
| MAdWizard` | Now back to todays issues, the 64 bit drivers | 10:27 |
| rski | what about them | 10:27 |
| slytherin | crazy_bus: what two programs do you want to use? | 10:27 |
| MAdWizard` | This motherbaord has a nVidia chipset, and yes nVidia wrote drivers for linux | 10:27 |
| marcustomized | MAdWizard, you dont really need drivers for anything besides graphics cards and obscure sound cards | 10:28 |
| plouffe | ziroday, I just checked that file (menu.lst). Apparently it is not being used. How can I make sure that the menu.lst on this partition is used and not another? | 10:28 |
| marcustomized | if u intend on jus using ubuntu as a headless server, u can use the "vesa" driver or the "nv" driver | 10:28 |
| crazy_bus | slytherin: cheese to record the video and either skype or ekiga | 10:29 |
| ziroday | plouffe: what do you mean its not being used? Is the file empty? | 10:29 |
| MAdWizard` | marcus, reading through the tons of stuff it told me to get full use of the AMD Atrhalon dual core, I need the 64 bit drivers | 10:29 |
| plouffe | No the entries are different, It must be using hte menu.lst from another partition | 10:29 |
| crazy_bus | slytherin: as I can't find a program which will record a received webcam conversation on the other end | 10:29 |
| Datenshi33 | Hi there | 10:29 |
| rski | MAdWizard`: you really should install 64bit ubuntu instead, less hasstle | 10:29 |
| slytherin | plouffe: why do you think that file is not being used? | 10:29 |
| MAdWizard` | rski, is that a driverset or OS? | 10:30 |
| rski | MAdWizard`: also you really don't gain much upgrading to 64bit | 10:30 |
| ziroday | plouffe: are you running multiple linux distro's? | 10:30 |
| plouffe | ziroday, I did a test install on another partition, but I am not using that partition anymore. So I need to make sure it's using this partition's boot files before I delete the other partition | 10:30 |
| marcustomized | 64 bit drivers will b preinstalled as well if u use the 64bit ubuntu disc | 10:30 |
| rski | MAdWizard`: you have 32bit ubuntu installed from a 32bit ubuntu cd there is also a 64bit ubuntu install cd with 64bit ubuntu | 10:30 |
| ziroday | !grub > plouffe | 10:30 |
| ubottu | plouffe, please see my private message | 10:30 |
| MAdWizard` | Ok I used a XP Ubuntu installer | 10:30 |
| slytherin | crazy_bus: cheese used gstreamer as backend. So if gstreamer doesn't lock the webcam you should be able to use it with skype or ekiga. | 10:30 |
| Maber | how do i add a user which only has access over the network but cannot login to the desktop? | 10:30 |
| ziroday | plouffe: those links will help you | 10:31 |
| MAdWizard` | I could not get the CDs I burned to install | 10:31 |
| ziroday | Maber: what would that user be doing? | 10:31 |
| plouffe | ok thanks | 10:31 |
| marcustomized | Maber, I don't think you can do that | 10:31 |
| Maber | he shall have specific access to some folders | 10:31 |
| putra_k | generatioan_sky | 10:31 |
| ziroday | marcustomized: its linux, you can do everything. | 10:32 |
| marcustomized | :O | 10:32 |
| mart | maber, do u mean to access ssh but not running xserver? | 10:32 |
| ziroday | Maber: so he can't login? what do you mean by that specifically? | 10:32 |
| marcustomized | okay, do tell, cuz i'd like to know | 10:32 |
| crazy_bus | slytherin: so if I load cheese first it should work? Or does gstreamer need a option to not lock the webcam | 10:32 |
| MAdWizard` | ok how can I find out what version and bit set on Ubuntu I am using?? | 10:32 |
| slytherin | crazy_bus: no idea. never experimented this. | 10:33 |
| MAdWizard` | of Ubuntu | 10:33 |
| MAdWizard` | sheesh | 10:33 |
| marcustomized | MadWizard, which disk did u download? | 10:33 |
| rski | MAdWizard`: lsb -a i think | 10:33 |
| slytherin | Maber: I suppose you don't want the use to be part of GDM group. But I am not sure. | 10:33 |
| bazhang | !version | 10:33 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -rc » in a !shell | 10:33 |
| rski | ah | 10:33 |
| MAdWizard` | marcus, I used a windows XP installer it did tell what version I was getting | 10:34 |
| davidryder | i have a question... i have a usb mp3 player... any ideas what to use to detect it or use it? | 10:34 |
| rski | davidryder: plug it in? | 10:34 |
| davidryder | it isnt' detected automatically from what i can tell | 10:34 |
| rski | um ok | 10:34 |
| rski | might wanna try rockbox | 10:34 |
| MAdWizard` | not lsb -a for the version | 10:34 |
| ziroday | davidryder: does it appear as just a normal usb driver? | 10:34 |
| ziroday | *drive | 10:34 |
| mart | davidryder, u have to mount it | 10:35 |
| davidryder | ziroday: it isn't mounting automatically | 10:35 |
| slytherin | davidryder: what player is it? | 10:35 |
| mart | does it show up in nautilus? | 10:35 |
| davidryder | mart: no... i am looking at /dev but i am not sure which it is | 10:35 |
| Maber | e.g.: i have an ubuntu server. this server has two network shares (smb) user1 and user2. i want to create user1 with read/write access to user1 dir but not user2 to write in user1 dir. but this users shall not be permitted to login to the desktop, because they dont need a home directory etc | 10:36 |
| MAdWizard` | marcus I used Wubildr to install Ubuntu | 10:36 |
| === George_ is now known as GeorgeA | ||
| mart | but does it show as folder in /media? | 10:36 |

| mart | so that's not ur mp3... | 10:38 |
| mart | then u have to mount it | 10:38 |
| zer0_ | discuss ubuntu here??can i? | 10:38 |
| davidryder | yes zer0_ :D | 10:38 |
| alkaliv2 | I updated my Bios and now bios will not boot. Am I as bad off as I think I am? | 10:38 |
| ziroday | alkaliv2: yes. | 10:39 |
| zer0_ | gud..i looking for ubuntu fix solution | 10:39 |
| davidryder | alkaliv2: do you have a removable eprom on your mobo? | 10:39 |
| davidryder | zer0_: what's the problem? | 10:39 |
| alkaliv2 | davidryder, I don't believe so | 10:39 |
| zer0_ | let me tell u my story | 10:39 |
| erUSUL | alkaliv2: probably yes... does your mobo has a backup bios (dual bios or something like that) | 10:39 |
| davidryder | alkaliv2: i did the same thing and asus sent me a replacement eprom, it was just replacing a chip. if your bios chip is removeable you will have to get a new mobo | 10:40 |
| paul68 | is there a good program that I can use to do a full system backup and be able to restore a complete system when needed? | 10:40 |
| davidryder | isn't* | 10:40 |
| bazhang | !backup | 10:40 |

| zer0_ | i installed ubuntu with wubi installer on local disk D(/ntfs/8gb)..i enable nvidia driver n i got problem | 10:40 |
| alkaliv2 | erUSUL, if by some miracle it did, where would I look for that? | 10:40 |
| slytherin | davidryder: does your player support MTP mode. Check if it is in MTP mode instead of usb mass storage mode. | 10:41 |

| simon49 | #sikelo | 10:41 |
| davidryder | zer0_: everyone has different experiences with wubi but mine was not good. i ended up uninstalling it and creating a dual-boot system. because it's a virtual environment and it's also a new project disk reliability is low | 10:41 |

| xjohnthomasx | slytherin: the problem was i was using PulseAudio or autodetect wherever i needed audio, and by switching everything to alsa, the audio worked. the problem with the color was the hue balance needed to be on maximum because nvidia reverses the defaults for some reason.. then the stuttering video was the lag from the defecting audio... does that all seem to make sense??? it all works fine now... : ) | 11:07 |

| erUSUL | bullgard4: Alt + crtl + f1 | 11:07 |
| smidge | bullgard: i would imagine they are referring to the tty consoles, i,e, the ones you get with control-alt-F1 etc | 11:07 |
| mart | paul68, it's actually a *.ful extension | 11:08 |
| bullgard4 | erUSUL: Alt + crtl + f1 is not the Linux console. | 11:08 |
| slytherin | xjohnthomasx: yes, didn't strike me before that it could be pulseaudio problem. I am glad it is working for you now. | 11:08 |

| Aaqil | i share folder from my hard, when i restart PC it closes my sharing and i have to re share every time :( | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | mEck0: if you need to do recovery tasks. use recovery mode | 11:26 |
| davidryder | amygdala: try sudo mount /dev/scd0 | 11:26 |
| chocohoof | good morning | 11:27 |

| phyteg | hi | 11:27 |
| mEck0 | smidge: I want to check some stuff without running X, not for everyday use | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | mEck0: if you only want to disasble X windows "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 11:27 |
| amygdala | davidryder: I can do that, no problem. But automount is not working -- Nautilus just stopped opening content of the cd/dvd. | 11:27 |
| smidge | pop open a terminal and bust out: sudo init 1 | 11:27 |
| smidge | you get a single user non x console | 11:28 |
| davidryder | amygdala: what happens when you manually mount? | 11:28 |
| smidge | then init 3 will return you to xwindows | 11:28 |

| erUSUL | mEck0: if you want that to be permanent (every boot with no X) "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" | 11:28 |
| mEck0 | erUSUL: ok, thx, will try it. I was wondering since ubuntu 8.04 which I'm running, don't have a /etc/inittab where you otherwise could change runlevel | 11:29 |
| mEck0 | erUSUL: ah, thx!! | 11:29 |
| erUSUL | mEck0: no it has not. it uses upstart not Sytem V init | 11:29 |

| mEck0 | erUSUL: ah, I see | 11:30 |
| erUSUL | mEck0: but anyway on debian/ubuntu all runlevels are equal (except 0-1-6 of course) | 11:30 |

| s3v | Cheeky: if you can run gedit on your server, then do this from a remote box: 'ssh -X user@server' and after you're logged in ''gedit &' | 12:06 |
| ph | i wanted to test sshfs, i didn't work cause i wasn't in the groupe fuse, i tried those commands : sudo usermod -G fuse ph, sudo adduser $USER fuse, i unlogged and relogged and now i only am in the group fuse | 12:07 |

| Cheeky | s3v: and then remote ssh x ... | 12:08 |
| afief | ph, wouldn't it be easier to edit that from the users & groups interface? | 12:08 |
| s3v | Cheeky: if you are running a server edition that would mean you'd have to install X on the server too... | 12:09 |
| estan | hello. anyone know if libxml2-dbg was compiled with --with-mem-debug ? | 12:09 |

| phyteg | dooley_, you can easily install any kernel u want with synaptics | 12:11 |
| ph | as i say, when i click unlock, it freezes | 12:11 |
| s3v | Cheeky: you are actually running the program on your server, just as you would locally, but the output 'window' is displayed through the ssh tunnel on your remote computer | 12:11 |
| erUSUL | ph: boot into recovery mode and add your user to admin group so you can use sudo to fix the remaining issues on a normal session | 12:11 |

| gregge | dooley & ziroday: I doubt it. But is flash 10 faster? I'm using ubuntu 64 now, and it didn't really like flash 9 | 12:27 |
| Simak | erUSUL: kernelcheck | 12:27 |
| erUSUL | Simak: you need the corresponding kernel headers | 12:27 |
| auto | ubuntu 8.10 where | 12:27 |
| dooley_ | Flash 10 was actually the only one that would work for me. | 12:28 |
| Simak | erUSUL: i downloaded them already, and isntalled via aptitude | 12:28 |
| dooley_ | Seems fine, better than gnash. | 12:28 |
| dooley_ | Simak: Is kernelcheck good? | 12:28 |
| dooley_ | Simak: Might fix problems Im having with my kernel at the mo. | 12:28 |

| reqqit | I am using a new screen, they just appear as background, but they are there, I can click on them, and use them, but they are invisible... | 13:00 |
| reqqit | ziroday, can I just run gnome-something -kill command and then run it again? | 13:00 |
| gregge | yes, I've tried a few different drivers | 13:00 |
| reqqit | alrighty, I'll try that | 13:00 |
| ziroday` | reqqit: you have set them to be transparent.. You can change this by right clicking a clear area of the toolbar and going to Preferences | 13:01 |
| ziroday` | gregge: which one are you currently using? | 13:01 |
| jokkaa | How can i see all computers in network? is there a way to do this? | 13:01 |

| gregge | ziroday`: right now I'm in windows, but I used Envy to install the 7.13.. or whatever it was called. I was talking about flashvideos because it was so evidently choppy in them, but everything is slow in ubuntu for me | 13:03 |

| remoteCTRL | jokkaa: go to places and click on network | 13:04 |
| bobrock | uhhh | 13:04 |
| reqqit | that worked. thanks. so the reason I am on this older 7.10 machine now is my 8.04 machine has decided to grate its hard disk from what I can gather | 13:04 |
| soneil | bobrock: there's been nothing simple about DNS for a long time. it's one of those things that's evolved into place instead of being designed for it's current jo | 13:04 |
| jokkaa | remoteCTRL, but that only shows me the shared folders right? | 13:04 |
| bobrock | nope on a server | 13:04 |
| reqqit | I've had two good boots from it, where I did some additional backups after using restore disc also | 13:04 |
| tv7497 | guys how do u rename a file rename {file_name} perlexpr {rename_name } is this right ? | 13:04 |
| ziroday` | gregge: sorry, but saying everything is slow is really really hard to diagnose. Perhaps next time you go to ubuntu you can run the program "top" in the terminal and see if there is a program taking up a large amount of CPU cycles | 13:04 |
| remoteCTRL | jokkaa: yes | 13:04 |

| remoteCTRL | bobrock: basically that is not a linux question but go to start/contorl panel/network, rightclick your lan connection and double click tcp/ip there, there you can enter the adress of dns servers | 13:12 |
| strange | which fs :) | 13:13 |
| reqqit | ziroday - it isn't in bootable or usable mode? | 13:13 |
| nnull | bobrock¬ whats remoteCTRL said | 13:13 |
| nnull | what* | 13:13 |
| arild_ | first time...have to take a look | 13:13 |
| bobrock | yes I know that but what would be ip adress of server | 13:13 |
| ziroday` | reqqit: it is bootable and usable, however it can often and crash and can destroy your hardware | 13:13 |
| nnull | bobrock¬ goto terminal on the server and do ifconfig -a | 13:14 |
| remoteCTRL | bobrock: what kind of question is that? have you got one set up or not? | 13:14 |
| arild_ | look like a wery ok place this | 13:14 |
| arild_ | bye | 13:14 |
| bobrock | thats right I know ip adress of server but even when I put that in tcp/ip of winxp doesn;t work | 13:15 |

| bobrock | ok | 13:15 |

| discografico | hello | 13:42 |
| discografico | can anyone help me with ubuntu? | 13:42 |
| aaron_ | Festival is text to speech....is there a better solution? | 13:43 |

| discografico | yes | 13:43 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: so you have a folder magento lying directly in /? | 13:43 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_: i know only of orca | 13:43 |
| discografico | i'd like to install some softwares not in the default directory but in a virtual disk made with truecrypt | 13:43 |
| discografico | is it possible? | 13:43 |
| aaron_ | having trouble with orca | 13:43 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: its in var/www | 13:43 |
| aaron_ | don't know how to use it | 13:43 |
| aaron_ | looking for documentation | 13:43 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: then chown /magento will not succeed | 13:44 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: but I was in www directory so it does | 13:44 |
| soundray | discografico: please have a look at the factoid that ubottu will send | 13:44 |

| Cew27 | can anyone help my my blender windowed mode opens in full screen | 13:46 |
| aaron_ | seems festival needed to be installed for it | 13:46 |
| discografico | i've created a volume with trucrypt | 13:46 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_: fine:) | 13:46 |
| discografico | and i'm able to store file in it | 13:46 |
| discografico | but how can i install packages in it? | 13:47 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: ? so what should I do ? | 13:47 |
| icesword | unop, how to make a file excutalbe? heihei, shame on me. hehe | 13:47 |
| discografico | i mean... if i need to install amule in it | 13:47 |
| discografico | how can i do? | 13:47 |
| m3F | i downloaded the intrepid beta, but it does not recognize one of my hard disc drives (the primary one), is this a known bug in the installer? i can see the partition in the LiveCD, but, when i run the installation process the primary hard drive appears empty. | 13:47 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: well execute the command once again without the / infront of magento | 13:47 |
| pbn | Hello, on a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 install, in the GUI I can't get a resolution higher than 800x600, but both my display adapter and my monitor support 1024x768. I tried dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg .... but it never prompts me for the definition.... How can I switch to 1024x768 ? | 13:47 |
| soundray | murlidhar: it's supposed to call network-admin. Try to run network-admin from terminal and see if it throws any errors | 13:47 |
| soundray | discografico: are you trying to hide illegal activity? | 13:48 |
| remoteCTRL | pbn: what graphics card? | 13:48 |
| ortsvorsteher | pbn: try displayconfig-gtk | 13:48 |
| unop | icesword, are you serious? | 13:48 |
| discografico | no soundray | 13:48 |
| lu6cifer | anyone familiar with alephone? | 13:48 |
| pbn | remoteCTRL: Riva TNT 2 | 13:48 |
| discografico | i'm trying to hide software i don't want other people to use | 13:48 |
| icesword | unop, indeed | 13:48 |
| unop | icesword, i'll give you a pointer. chmod | 13:48 |
| icesword | :o | 13:48 |
| murlidhar | soundray: thanks . it was not installed | 13:48 |
| remoteCTRL | pbn: you might hav e to manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the desired resolutions in there in order for X to be able to recognize it | 13:49 |
| pbn | remoteCTRL: yes I was thinking of editing it ... but.... I find no modelines at all in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ! | 13:49 |
| icesword | unop, hehe | 13:49 |
| discografico | also sotware like thunderbird | 13:49 |
| soundray | discografico: okay. I'm afraid I can't help with truecrypt specifics. I think if you want to hide a software installation in it, you'd have to install it directly from an upstream binary instead of from an Ubuntu package. | 13:49 |
| Finiras | can anybody recommend an application that lets me download websites? not just a single page but i'm talking about a program that follows every link and downloads everything related to that website, possibly avoiding advertisements | 13:50 |
| remoteCTRL | pbn: search for example configs in google i don't know the exact nomencalture by heart... | 13:50 |
| aaron_ | seems I have configured orca | 13:50 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: hmm still problem btw if I set right on magento folder all subfolders has same permission right? | 13:50 |
| aaron_ | how do I get it to read a web page | 13:50 |
| LjL | !info wget | Finiras | 13:50 |
| ubottu | finiras: wget (source: wget): retrieves files from the web. In component main, is standard. Version 1.10.2-3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 233 kB, installed size 1924 kB | 13:50 |
| lu6cifer | anyone familiar with alephone? | 13:50 |
| discografico | thanks soundray | 13:50 |
| Finiras | ljl wget is just to download a single file | 13:50 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: should have, yes, if not try magento/* | 13:50 |
| LjL | Finiras: no it isn't | 13:50 |
| murlidhar | discografico: my best advise would be to not let others log in through your username . give them a guest account . | 13:51 |
| soundray | Finiras: 'man wget' and search for 'recursive' | 13:51 |
| LjL | Finiras: "man wget", hit "/", search for "mirror" | 13:51 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_: with your eyes? | 13:51 |
| Phyto | hi all | 13:51 |
| discografico | murlidhar: if they log as a guest account they will not see installations like thunderbirds or phonebooks etc.etc.? | 13:52 |
| aaron_ | I want to have speech read aloud with orca | 13:52 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_: oh sorry man, umm you put the cursor in the webpage | 13:52 |
| aaron_ | ok | 13:52 |
| blueman | I'm trying to compile something. It says I need a certain .hpp file...I have the file, but where do I put it? | 13:52 |
| LjL | discografico: they will see the installed programs, but they certainly won't see *your* mails or *your* phonebook | 13:52 |
| discografico | oh ok | 13:52 |
| LjL | blueman: what are you trying to compile? | 13:52 |
| murlidhar | discografico: no they won't see any data that has been entered through your account | 13:52 |
| aaron_ | nothing happening | 13:52 |
| blueman | Just a game engine | 13:53 |
| discografico | i'll try | 13:53 |
| discografico | thanks | 13:53 |
| murlidhar | no problems | 13:53 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: somebody told me to set permission to apache server | 13:53 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_what happens if you mark a paragraph? | 13:53 |
| LjL | blueman, which game engine? we can't guess things if we don't know what one is doing | 13:53 |
| phoenixbai | I am new here, nice to meet you all | 13:53 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | unop, that has worked a treat!! Thanks a lot. I'd never have worked that out for myself. Thanks | 13:53 |
| murlidhar | hi | phoenixbai | 13:53 |
| aaron_ | by mark do you mean highlight | 13:53 |
| aaron_ | nothing happens | 13:53 |
| murlidhar | !test | 13:54 |
| ubottu | sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | 13:54 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: umm in that case it should be enuff to set the group of the folder to apache or add user apache to the group that owns the magento folder | 13:54 |
| unop | Gizmo_The_Great, you need to have an understanding of perl or regular expressions to use rename | 13:54 |
| blueman | actually, it's pretty obscure, so I'll think I'll go on their IRC channel for help... | 13:54 |
| jxander | is there a gui for configuring mount points and options? | 13:54 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_humm for me that works | 13:54 |
| remoteCTRL | jxander: nope you do that in /etc/fstab | 13:55 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: ok but If Iam only user on my ubuntu installation I am user of apache | 13:55 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: nope apache runs a s wwwrun as far as i recall | 13:55 |
| aaron_ | the only time I hear sound being read is when the ocra preferences tab is hit | 13:55 |
| jxander | remoteCTRL: tried... not working :(... if i remove the entries, it works, but i have to mount by clicking on the desktop... i want to auto mount the ntfs partitions and i can't get the right options :( user option doesn't work for me | 13:56 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_: orca has got some substantial configuration options how to read what, have a look at those | 13:56 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: so could you please tell me how to find under which user it runs and how to change those permissions | 13:56 |
| aaron_ | ok thanks | 13:56 |
| remoteCTRL | jxander: aouto mount option is simply auto but it aoutomounts it only on system start then if you want to do that manually you type mount -a, that mounts everything that is in fstab | 13:57 |
| unop | rajec, you want to change the user apache runs under? | 13:57 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: ps aux | grep apache should give you the user | 13:57 |
| murlidhar | soundray: geez . now when i press unlock button in network-admin i get an error " could not authenticate. unexpected error has occured" . i am using openbox and i don't have gnome session at all . | 13:57 |
| rajec | unop: hmm yeap. As I said I've installed magento(eshop system) but it has problem with permissiosn | 13:57 |
| unop | rajec, what's wrong with the default user? www-data | 13:58 |
| jxander | remoteCTRL: what happens when i click on places > <partition label> ? i would want to mimic that at startup and i want the mounted partitions to stay mounted until i unmount them | 13:58 |
| unop | rajec, maybe all you need to do is adjust permissions then - changing the apache user could give you more problems | 13:58 |
| remoteCTRL | unop: nope he wants apache to use some magento stuff that he has i the /var/www folder and he needs to change permissions on that so that apache can access it | 13:58 |
| soundray | murlidhar: I see, that's fairly non-standard... Consider editing your /etc/network/interfaces directly | 13:58 |
| unop | rajec, what kind of permissions issues are you having? | 13:58 |
| unop | remoteCTRL, ahh | 13:58 |
| remoteCTRL | jxander: i don't understand the question? | 13:59 |
| soenke | hi | 13:59 |
| murlidhar | soundray: so is there any application that can help in configuring ip address and dns address like network-admin ? | 13:59 |
| unop | rajec, which directory under /var/www does magento install it's stuff to? | 13:59 |
| thomc | Any suggestions for a lightweight alternative to firefox that's got a few more features than Dillo? | 13:59 |
| remoteCTRL | murlidhar: ifconfig does that on commandline | 13:59 |
| soenke | how can I tune the cpufreq selector to set "performance" mode on ac power and "ondemand" on battery (hardy) ? | 14:00 |
| murlidhar | remoteCTRL: i needed a gui application . | 14:00 |
| unop | thomc, epiphany, galeon, opera | 14:00 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: http://www.picamatic.com/view/1129426_Screenshot/ | 14:00 |
| thomc | unop, thanks. | 14:00 |
| remoteCTRL | murlidhar: network-manager is the gui application, anything works just fine in there usually | 14:00 |
| murlidhar | soundray: in short words an alternative to network-admin | 14:00 |
| rajec | unop: under magento. What I did I set rights my chmod username magento | 14:00 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: www-data it is | 14:01 |
| rajec | unop: but it still has some permision issues(after loading magento under browser) | 14:01 |
| murlidhar | remoteCTRL: bash: network-manager: command not found | 14:01 |
| remoteCTRL | rajec: you need to chmod it to www-data as that is apaches user | 14:01 |
| rajec | remoteCTRL: Ok so should I change id or rather add permissions for www-data on magento folder | 14:01 |
| piksi | hello, a quick question regarding 8.10 beta: i'd love to know if the 2.6.27 kernel in the beta currently contains the bug that will brick intel 82567LM eth controllers (it is in the 2.6.27 RC vanilla) ? | 14:01 |
| kthakore | I keep getting this error when I am trying to run symantik (upgrade of kdissert) from /usr/lib/kde4/bin/semantik symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv | 14:01 |
| unop | rajec, well, the user www-data has no access to that directory :) how do you expect it to access it? | 14:02 |
| soundray | murlidhar: I don't know. I edit config files directly, or I use gnome tools. There are probably other GUI tools, but I'm not familiar with those. | 14:02 |
| remoteCTRL | murlidhar: not possible:D what does dpkg -l network* return? | 14:02 |
| Seveas | piksi, it does. That's why the module is disabled | 14:02 |
| jxander | remoteCTRL: sorry. so... i have a ntfs partition and i can use it since i installed ubuntu by mounting it from places > partname, but after a while it unmounts... i want it to stay mounted... i also want those partitions to be mounted on boot. are there options for the automount? these ntfs partitions don't appear in fstab. i tried adding them, but the old style with /dev/sda1 didn't work and i don't get the new UUID=XXXXXX syntax | 14:02 |
| rajec | unop: don't ask me I am windows user mostly :D | 14:02 |
| unop | rajec, is magento a group on your system? | 14:02 |
| unop | rajec, forget windows - that's a whole different ballgame | 14:02 |
| soundray | remoteCTRL: note, murlidhar is on OpenBox and has an incomplete nm installation | 14:02 |
| piksi | Seveas: good, so it's safe to test (it's on the blacklist right?) | 14:03 |
| rajec | unop: magento is just folder | 14:03 |
| murlidhar | soundray: i have network-manager installed . | 14:03 |
| Seveas | piksi, it should be | 14:03 |
| piksi | Seveas: thank you :-) | 14:03 |
| unop | rajec, ok, what does this give you? getent group www-data | 14:03 |
| remoteCTRL | soundray: oh i didn't get that, sorry | 14:03 |
| unop | rajec, and this. getent group magento | 14:03 |
| soundray | murlidhar: you're missing other components, though, that you need in order to run network-admin | 14:04 |
| remoteCTRL | jxander: i told youbefore man have a look at the man pages from fstab its all in there | 14:04 |
| outbackwifi | ello | 14:04 |
| luis08 | hello! I have a partition in "/dev/sda6" and I'm trying to mount it using "fstab". I can mount it, but got no permissions once it's mounted. Any ideas? | 14:04 |
| rajec | unop: getent group www-data -> www-data:x:33: , and magento give me nothing as I said magento is just folder | 14:04 |
| remoteCTRL | gosh is today mounting day?:D | 14:05 |
| rajec | unop: folder where is magento(php eshop system) copied | 14:05 |
| unop | rajec, ok, this out to fix it then. sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/magento | 14:05 |
| outbackwifi | luis08: when you mount it via cli do you get permissions? | 14:05 |
| soundray | murlidhar: is there a particular reason why you prefer OpenBox? | 14:05 |
| Computech | where can i find the logs of #ubuntu? | 14:05 |
| remoteCTRL | luis_: you need to add the option user in /etc/fstab to make it user readable | 14:05 |
| luis08 | outbackwifi, yes, using cli I can get permissions | 14:06 |
| unop | !logs | Computech | 14:06 |
| ubottu | Computech: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 14:06 |
| Computech | ty | 14:06 |
| luis08 | remoteCTRL, already did that | 14:06 |
| murlidhar | soundray: yes i don't like gnome desktop | 14:06 |
| outbackwifi | luis08: what options have you specifiied in fstab? | 14:06 |
| murlidhar | soundray: and i like openbox only | 14:06 |
| remoteCTRL | luis_: you need to remount it after that in order to have the changes take affect | 14:06 |
| jxander | remoteCTRL: i know and i have. i tried the "user" option, but it just said unable to mount and it didn't work. i saw that on the ntfs-3g site they say the user option has an issue with mount. :( | 14:06 |
| luis08 | outbackwifi, "/dev/sda6 /home/guilherme/Shared vfat defaults,user" | 14:06 |
| m3F | i downloaded the intrepid beta, but it does not recognize one of my hard disc drives (the primary one), is this a known bug in the installer? i can see the 5 partitions in the LiveCD, but, when i run the installation process the primary hard drive appears empty. | 14:06 |

| bill_ | @remoteCTRL: Trying to mount a vista partition (on a WuBI installed linux) as fuseblk type.. am i wrong? | 14:07 |
| outbackwifi | luis08: is it ntfs or vfat? | 14:07 |
| outbackwifi | !intrepid | 14:07 |

| luis08 | outbackwifi, vfat | 14:07 |
| rajec | unop: btw I set sudo chown www-data magento but it doesnt work | 14:07 |
| unop | rajec, well, doesn't work means what exactly? | 14:08 |
| remoteCTRL | jxander: that is complete news to me and i don't think it is true... what does dmesg say after that mount attempt? | 14:08 |
| rajec | unop: thank you!!! sudo chgrp -R .... works! | 14:08 |
| unop | rajec, did that command fail? were you still not able to access magento in apache? etc? | 14:08 |
| unop | rajec, ahh ok :) | 14:08 |

| rajec | unop: NO! its not ok, its great :D | 14:09 |

| Stormx2 | Hiya everyone. I have a brand spanking new TV card which features a remote control. In dmesg, I see it being recognised as an input device. I can actually type with it (only buttons 0-9 and enter), even without lirc installed. I've just been fiddling with lirc and couldn't get it work. Hence I'd like to get this input device working outside of lirc. is there some way I can forward the output to a custom command via xorg.conf or something similar? Th | 14:14 |

| smelian | remoteCTRL: i put it desktop its folder and ( howtos on openvpn's website ) what is this | 15:21 |
| remoteCTRL | Coppershade-org: no ifdown/ifup interfacename should do like ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 | 15:21 |
| polygon89 | Petein, are you sure its not cache? | 15:21 |
| bullgard4 | remoteCTRL: A better understanding for changeing the font there. | 15:22 |
| Coppershade-org | remoteCTRL, whut? :) | 15:22 |
| Petein | polygon89 yes.because the swap is 2 GB and ram is 1 GB. it says 37 MB free | 15:22 |
| polygon89 | Petein, linux likes to make full use of your ram, so even if applications only use like 300 mb of it, the kernel will use the rest as cache so everything runs faster | 15:22 |
| remoteCTRL | smelian: on the website of openvpn you find how tos as the name says it tells you how to do it | 15:22 |
| polygon89 | Petein, there is some command to tell how much is cache, i dont know it since i just use system monitor =P | 15:23 |
| Cutter | is it a good idea to install Openbox on Ubuntu, with performance in mind? | 15:23 |
| remoteCTRL | Petein: that is the strategy of linux; to keep the things in RAM that is perfectly fine! | 15:23 |
| Cutter | or is it better to install a lightweight distro for mthat matter? | 15:23 |

| amanu | removing mbr from hard disk ...... | 15:28 |
| amanu | is it possible | 15:28 |
| polygon89 | Petein, i told you, because it uses free ram as cache, it doesn't let it go to waste. if you suddenly need the cached ram for a program the kernel will delete the cache and use it for that program. | 15:28 |

| unop | The-Compiler, you mean you want to rename that folder from "8bp001" to "8bp087"? | 16:39 |
| Rhorse | sudo dpkg --purge alsa-base | 16:39 |
| nnull | wow audacious reminds me of winamp on win95 heh | 16:39 |
| outbackwifi | Aron_: what does uname -a say when you boot with livecd? | 16:40 |
| remoteCTRL | techsupport: humm not very selfexplanmatory that one... | 16:40 |
| magnetron | StevenJosway, first make sure your router is working correctly. the easiest way to do this would be to set up the router with a computer with graphical interface. most routers are configured via a web browser (see your manual for specific instructions) | 16:40 |
| Aron_ | I didn't check that | 16:40 |
| The-Compiler | unop: nope, that wouldn't be any problem :D I want to make dirs numerated from 8bp001 up to 8bp087 | 16:40 |
| techsupport | remoteCTRL, yeah i got that error after i installed ntp | 16:40 |
| exco | how can I recover my system if chrooting gives Segmentation fault? | 16:40 |
| unop | The-Compiler, fresh directories, empty ones? | 16:40 |
| deph | Rhorse: dependency problem: ubuntu-desktop depends on alsa-base | 16:41 |
| jamesish | StevenJosway: most high speed internet access I know of binds to the mac address that was first connected to the connection. This means other devices cannot typically use it; to deal with this, router manufacturers allow a process called mac address cloning. That might be all you need to do. | 16:41 |
| outbackwifi | The-Compiler: create a script that loops and does mkdir with a counter as 8bp$cntr | 16:41 |
| outbackwifi | Aron_: can you check pls? | 16:41 |
| remoteCTRL | techsupport: try apt-get -f install and see if that fixes anything | 16:41 |
| The-Compiler | just got the answer ;) mkdir `seq -f "8bp%03.0f" 1 87` worked | 16:41 |
| outbackwifi | The-Compiler: great | 16:41 |
| Rhorse | it wan't to remove ubuntu-desktop? | 16:41 |
| === nathan is now known as Guest26059 | ||
| Aron_ | OK,I'll reboot now | 16:42 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull: audacious is far better then any winamp version. | 16:42 |
| edlv | tell me the basic features in ubuntu | 16:42 |
| The-Compiler | Rhorse: not any problems, its only a meta-packages | 16:42 |
| The-Compiler | !meta | rhose | 16:42 |
| ubottu | rhose: If you would like to help in #*ubuntu* but it just goes too fast to spot interesting questions, try joining #ubuntu-meta and watching for questions there (note that it is NOT a support channel, however, and questions should still be answered in #*ubuntu*) | 16:42 |
| The-Compiler | oops sorry | 16:42 |
| nnull | ShinobiTeno¬ except it has no skins/visulisation plugins? right? | 16:42 |
| The-Compiler | !metapackage | rhose | 16:42 |
| ubottu | rhose: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. | 16:42 |
| techsupport | remoteCTRL, the error is gone after removing ntp | 16:42 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull: wrong. it has skins and visualisation. | 16:43 |
| nnull | ShinobiTeno¬ where!? | 16:43 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull rightclick->options | 16:43 |

| ShinobiTeno | nnull sec | 16:44 |
| techsupport | remoteCTRL, i'm trying to configure kerberos | 16:44 |
| deph | Rhorse: The-Compiler: You lost me somewhere... alsa-base cannot be removed due to the dependency. Do you really want me to remove ubuntu-desktop now?? | 16:44 |
| techsupport | remoteCTRL, do you know anything about that ? | 16:44 |
| remoteCTRL | techsupport: not really, sorry | 16:44 |
| soneil | StevenJosway: I think the easiest way is using /etc/network/interfaces - see http://pastebin.ca/1218993 for a copy of mine for reference | 16:44 |
| bullgard4 | How can I determine what console driver my IBM Thinkpad T42 uses under Ubuntu 8.04.1? see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO-3.html Is it /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/char/hvc_console.c? | 16:45 |
| Rhorse | deph, you *could* try a reinstall of dte *and* alsa. But you'd have to be comfortable with working in the console. | 16:45 |
| msikma | Hi there. When I start Ubuntu 7.04 it has no internet. I need to click the network icon and choose "wired connection" (only option). How do I fix this? | 16:45 |
| jamesish | techsupport: kerberos is a three headed dog to set up. | 16:45 |
| * nnull waits a sec for ShinobiTeno :x | 16:45 | |
| Rhorse | deph, I avoid upgrades like the plague! | 16:45 |

| nnull | yay heh | 16:47 |
| aaron_ | gtk-recordmydesktop does not have a pause button | 16:48 |

| Omoikane_ | how do i open .img files in ubuntu? | 16:48 |

| techsupport | jamesish, do you think you can help me ? | 16:48 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_ah ok i see | 16:49 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull try reinstalling and cleaning "locate audacious" ) | 16:49 |
| nnull | so just that command in term ShinobiTeno ? | 16:49 |
| MaxJays | what's the GUI called in linux? | 16:49 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_ http://yanbe.org/screencast4linux/index.html.ja | 16:50 |
| jamesish | techsupport: I know enough to warn you to sacrifice a goat at the full moon. | 16:50 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull no, but after you purge it in synaptic or apt-get, this command can help you locate the rests(if there are some)). Check your ~ folder btw) | 16:50 |
| aaron_ | thanks | 16:50 |
| [zaf]-Coral | Hi guys..I would just like to know if it is possible to host a pppoe con on a bridged connection | 16:50 |
| jamesish | techsupport: my opinion is that the best way to deal with kerberos is to sit down reading the documentation; if it's not something you can set up solo, don't use it. | 16:50 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_errr dead link, try http://yanbe.org/screencast4linux/screencast4linux-0.2.tar.gz | 16:51 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull aqualung is good too) but audacious is player only, no db) | 16:51 |
| wesley_ | how can i hide my ip in firefox | 16:51 |
| nnull | ShinobiTeno¬ doesnt seem too be anything for audacious in ~ | 16:51 |
| nnull | ill try locate | 16:51 |
| jamesish | techsupport: I know that's a little harsh, but seriously. Kerberos is something that you need to know inside and out to use it. All its funny terminology about ticket granting tickets for the ticket granting server and whatnot, you really need to spend a few hours studying to get anywhere. | 16:51 |
| LjL | wesley_: only by using an anonymizing proxy | 16:51 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull before "locate", do "sudo updatedb" plz. | 16:51 |
| nnull | ShinobiTeno¬ what does that do tho? | 16:52 |
| [zaf]-Coral | So that is ... PPPOE with brctl | 16:52 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull this updates indexis for "locate" | 16:52 |
| IntangibleLiquid | hi. i'm doing some research on security solutions for enterprise environments. I was wondering why such a secure one as Linux still requires these solutions as a major part | 16:52 |
| wesley_ | but how can i use it ? | 16:52 |
| nnull | ShinobiTeno¬ kkk | 16:52 |
| StevenJosway | I just ran IFconfig, is there a way to scroll up? | 16:52 |
| techsupport | jamesish, i'm looking at this instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/Kerberos , currently at the point of editing krb5.conf and trying to kinit my.domain.name , get error Cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm orudie.command.center while getting initial credentials | 16:52 |
| nnull | ShinobiTeno¬ i did locate before i ran that command, it found 2 things i did it again after, and it showd like 100 heh | 16:52 |
| jamesish | techsupport: you setting this up at home, at work, what? | 16:53 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull you did purge it before, didnt you?) do manual clean only you remove app with standart toolz(apt-get purge, or synaptic, or aptitude) | 16:53 |
| LjL | wesley_: Edit / Preferences / Advances / Network / Settings, configure your proxy server there | 16:53 |
| remoteCTRL | IntangibleLiquid: well that is a matter of viewpoints and better asked in #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:53 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull only after | 16:53 |
| techsupport | jamesish, at home here is my krb5.conf http://pastebin.com/m4de7dd82 | 16:53 |
| RickZilla | What is XFCE? | 16:53 |
| skurakai1 | hi. is possible install rpm on ubuntu? | 16:53 |
| outbackwifi | skurakai1: use alien | 16:53 |
| nnull | purge it? asin delete it? | 16:53 |
| skurakai1 | doesnt work | 16:53 |
| scunizi | How do I use cat on two different files that will produce 1 file that is a combination of the two different files... or another way to combine both files into one? | 16:53 |
| outbackwifi | !alien | skurakai1 | 16:54 |
| ubottu | skurakai1: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 16:54 |
| Aron_ | I am back. I t shows like this :Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 16:54 |
| wesley_ | LJL i forget to say that i am using kde4 | 16:54 |
| ShinobiTeno | RickZilla its cholesterol free desktop environiment. check google for "wiki xfce" | 16:54 |
| LjL | wesley_: you said you're using Firefox, though, so that wouldn't matter | 16:54 |
| outbackwifi | Aron_: thats the difference, you are not running an SMP kernel | 16:54 |
| aaron_ | I typed make install for the screencast package....did I miss a step | 16:54 |
| remoteCTRL | !xfce | RickZilla | 16:54 |
| ubottu | RickZilla: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 16:54 |
| Aron_ | what's that means? | 16:54 |
| techsupport | jamesish, f you choose to install the krb5-config package, the installation will present a prompt: (it didnt prompt me for anything) | 16:54 |
| RickZilla | Thank you | 16:54 |
| skurakai1 | outbackwifi: doesnt work on this package | 16:54 |
| outbackwifi | Aron_: it means the kernel can support multiple CPUs | 16:54 |
| jamesish | techsupport: then take your time, read the documentation, and learn t he system. kerberos is something you should _understand_, and you should understand how to look up your own errors with it. It's not for the faint of heart. | 16:54 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_is there a configure file in there? | 16:55 |
| jamesish | techsupport: you might find it useful to download the source and compile everything by hand so you understand it all from beginning to end. | 16:55 |
| karna | hello , i need a os with debian kernel that use minmum of ram ? | 16:55 |
| exco | is there a way to manually install debs to a broken installation I can't even chroot into anymore? | 16:55 |
| Aron_ | what can I do now? | 16:55 |
| outbackwifi | Aron_: install the smp kernel | 16:55 |
| === spasticteapot__ is now known as spasticteapot | ||
| aaron_ | no there is not | 16:55 |
| outbackwifi | Aron_: use synaptic to select the SMP kernel and select install | 16:56 |
| jamesish | karna: best thing to do is build one. I'd install debian, if I were you, then slowly strip out unecessary binaries. Or even better, see if you can wedge in busybox and then remove _everything_ else. | 16:56 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_yet still you need to mak first then mak install | 16:56 |
| techsupport | jamesish, i can ping orudie.command.center just fine, then edited krb5.conf by example of the page i showed you, and get error when trying to kinit | 16:56 |
| aaron_ | ok make is giving me an error | 16:56 |
| RickZilla | Where would I go to find the ID number of my sound card? | 16:56 |

| remoteCTRL | aaron_too cryptic sorry... | 16:57 |
| scunizi | skurakai1, alien is not something you want to use unles you are willing to break your system.. | 16:57 |
| jamesish | techsupport: it's all in the documentation. Seriously, I understand the frustration with finding someone who can help who won't, but I won't be doing you any real favours if I do. You need to accept that something's wrong, that it's probably configuration, and research it. kerberos is too damn fussy to not understand how to research it every step of the way. | 16:58 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull private window dude) | 16:58 |

| [T]ank | hey folks, I have been on the 32 bit version of ubuntu for a while and have had my scanner working with no problem. now that i have upgraded computers and have gone 64 bit, when trying to connect to my hp psc 2110 i get the message, "failed to open device 'hpaio:/net/PSC_2100_series?ip=192.168.1.20': Device busy. any ideas? | 17:04 |
| ShinobiTeno | nnull =)) | 17:04 |
| photon_ | [T]ank, nobody in their right mind goes 64-bit | 17:05 |
| techsupport | following these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/Kerberos made my krb5.conf according to example , here is what mine looks like http://pastebin.com/m53271937 , and i get error when trying 'kinit Administrator@ORUDIE.COMMAND.CENTER' Cannot resolve network address for KDC in realm orudie.command.center while getting initial credentials | 17:05 |
| remoteCTRL | Zmax: sudo apt-get install python2.4-gtk2 | 17:05 |
| photon_ | Ever. | 17:05 |
| komputes | photon_: lol | 17:05 |
| [T]ank | photon_: but yet they still develop and distribute it | 17:05 |
| Zmax | remoteCTRL: apt-get selects python-gtk2 instead of python2.4-gtk2 | 17:05 |
| photon_ | yes, and nobody needs it and nobody makes drivers for it :) | 17:05 |
| nnull | odd that synaptic doesnt install it properly tho | 17:05 |
| remoteCTRL | Zmax: then that is your weapon of choice | 17:05 |
| komputes | [T]ank: everyone whoues 64 bit is on the server end | 17:05 |
| bariga | do the quantity of spaces matter in the fstab file? | 17:06 |
| Zmax | remoteCTRL: what? | 17:06 |
| remoteCTRL | photon_: so i must be completely outa my mind:P | 17:06 |
| photon_ | remoteCTRL, like I was when I installed XP64 and Ubuntu 64... | 17:06 |
| photon_ | :) | 17:06 |
| remoteCTRL | Zmax: if you want to install that and ubuntu takes the other version instead that means that is perfectly fine | 17:06 |
| ShinobiTeno | bariga depends,))) 4GB spaces fstab is sure not good) | 17:06 |
| outbackwifi | bariga: no, one is enough | 17:06 |
| Aron_ | OK,it shows two CPUs now :) | 17:06 |
| Dragan91 | remoteCTRL, Xfree or Xorg drivers for ati radeon 9250? but it seems they are RPM file what do you advise? | 17:06 |
| komputes | [T]ank: too much hastle for 64-bit since everything is compiler for 32 by default | 17:06 |
| photon_ | a dumb server box with a harddisk, fine, go 64-bit and earn 4% speed :) | 17:06 |
| outbackwifi | Aron_: great | 17:06 |
| Aron_ | one more question | 17:07 |
| [T]ank | when does 8.10 release? | 17:07 |
| komputes | [T]ank: oct 31 | 17:07 |
| bariga | and is there any way you can know what letter (sda1 for example) is what drive ? | 17:07 |
| photon_ | for anything else, either go 32-bit and save yourself a week of time, or take driver devs hostage and make them dev drivers :) | 17:07 |
| outbackwifi | Aron_: thats 2 dollars more | 17:07 |
| Aron_ | My graphic card is Geforce 8500GT | 17:07 |
| magnetron | [T]ank, end of this month | 17:07 |
| Aron_ | oh | 17:07 |
| [T]ank | i will just wait till then and change it | 17:07 |
| bariga | cause i'm having trouble with mounting an ntfs filesystem | 17:07 |
| outbackwifi | :) | 17:07 |
| Zmax | remoteCTRL: not so perfect, then | 17:07 |
| Aron_ | and I need to know how to find a driver for it | 17:07 |
| outbackwifi | bariga: sudo fddisk -l should tell all | 17:07 |
| photon_ | My system is up to date! | 17:07 |
| photon_ | wee, now to get python :) | 17:08 |
| [T]ank | so... flaming aside, is the reason this is not working because of the support for 64bit printer driver? | 17:08 |
| bariga | thx outbackwifi | 17:08 |
| deph | komputes: ping | 17:08 |
| komputes | Aron_: apt-get install envyng-gtk - the app is called Envy, it will install the diver | 17:08 |
| ShinobiTeno | are you ppl aware, that you can use up to 64GB RAM in 32bit mode?! Check PAE option, you need to recompile kernel though) | 17:08 |
| photon_ | hm! btw, is there an alternative mouse config program? I can find no decent settings. | 17:08 |
| komputes | deph: pong | 17:08 |
| deph | komputes: can we talk in private? | 17:08 |
| photon_ | I am using my laptop touchpad, which is easy to configure in Vista. | 17:08 |
| Dougy[Work] | ShinobiTeno, PAE is garbage | 17:08 |
| photon_ | I mean sens and acc now :) | 17:09 |
| remoteCTRL | Zmax: what is actually the problem, why do you insist in the version number? | 17:09 |
| ShinobiTeno | Dougy[Work], i dont think so) | 17:09 |
| Dougy[Work] | ShinobiTeno, I od. | 17:09 |

| FooBarWidget | I've just upgraded from postgresql 8.2 to postgresql 8.3, but the postgresql-8.2 entry still shows up in services-admin, and there's no sign of 8.3. what | 17:09 |
| StevenJosway | When im configuring my internet connection do i want the area titled "network" to be what i put in the address bar to login to my router? | 17:09 |
| FooBarWidget | what's going on? | 17:09 |
| ShinobiTeno | Dougy[Work] omg, kk=) | 17:09 |
| Dougy[Work] | ShinobiTeno, there is no benefit to using PAE. Just go to 64 bit. | 17:09 |
| yao_ziyuan | when i press alt+ctrl+bksp, is the x sever restarted? | 17:09 |
| Dougy[Work] | Performance increase and you're not "hacking" the hardware | 17:09 |
| LjL | Dougy[Work], ShinobiTeno: well, substantiate the respective opinions or avoid giving them | 17:09 |
| Dougy[Work] | LjL, I did | 17:09 |
| Dougy[Work] | PAE is just a hardware "hack" | 17:10 |
| ShinobiTeno | Dougy[Work], perfomance decrease in 32bit code for 15-20% when running 64bit mode. | 17:10 |
| Dougy[Work] | So then compile it yourself. | 17:10 |
| Dougy[Work] | Or use 64 bit software. | 17:10 |
| ShinobiTeno | Dougy[Work] PAE is not a hack, but a feature, installed since Pentium2 in CPU. | 17:10 |
| Dougy[Work] | ShinobiTeno, it is a hack. | 17:10 |
| Zmax | remoteCTRL: I am compiling a package, the configure says "checking for pygtk 2.8.0 installed for python 2.4... not found" so I need pygtk2 of that version | 17:10 |
| LjL | Dougy[Work]: i guess it's not so different from the paged memory that 8-bit processors always used to have. it's not ideal, but unfortunately, 64-bit Ubuntu poses problems of its own. | 17:11 |
| ShinobiTeno | Dougy[Work], check wiki my friend. | 17:11 |
| ShinobiTeno | Dougy[Work] PAE extends IP to 36bits, no hacking. | 17:11 |
| Dougy[Work] | LjL: Was not speaking specifically to Ubuntu | 17:11 |
| Dougy[Work] | I was speaking in general | 17:11 |
| Dougy[Work] | I've never used 64 bit Ubuntu, so I could not tell you | 17:11 |
| RickZilla | scunizi: Back to the sound card ID number: Would it be the 8-digit letter/number combination listed right after the device name? | 17:11 |
| LjL | Dougy[Work]: well, this is the Ubuntu channel though, and there *are* benefits using the 32-bit edition over the 64-bit one | 17:12 |
| Dougy[Work] | LjL: yes, but just because we're in #ubuntu does not mean it's Ubuntu specific. He didn't say it was. | 17:12 |
| ducatimoto | #ubuntu-mobile | 17:12 |
| remoteCTRL | Zmax: as far as i understand you need 2.8 then instead of 2.4 right? | 17:12 |
| matteo_ | how to search for a channel on irc? | 17:13 |
| LjL | matteo_: /msg alis help | 17:13 |
| ShinobiTeno | Dougy[Work] I sayd Intel did PAE since P2, and ppl beg to 64bit to get that 3+Gb ram working... no need for 64bit. | 17:13 |
| ducatimoto | j/#AigoMID | 17:13 |
| RickZilla | matteo_ depends on your IRC client, I think | 17:13 |
| LjL | RickZilla: not really, depends on the IRC server rather | 17:13 |
| RickZilla | LjL: Thanks for the clarification | 17:14 |
| remoteCTRL | aaron_did it work? | 17:14 |
| ShinobiTeno | So ppl that have 3+Gb RAM can use it with 32bit mode software. | 17:14 |

| TuxOtaku | so quick question, do I need extra drivers to get an IDE controller card to work in ubuntu? | 17:23 |

| Indoctrine | How do I tell what drivers I'm using for my hardware? (Not restricted ones) | 17:40 |
| outbackwifi | bariga: is X running? | 17:40 |

| outbackwifi | bariga: which client do you want to kill? | 17:42 |

| photon_ | anyone? :) | 17:42 |

| Dreiskat | plaah, I mean i have tried to keep ubuntu alive and keep telling myself that one day i will be happy user, and all problems are solved. Guess that day never comes and I will be forced to install MS back to comp. | 17:42 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Specifically if I wanted to look what drivers my graphics card is using? | 17:42 |
| KillGuta | bah :( | 17:42 |
| KillGuta | could someone help me compile wine? | 17:42 |
| bariga | i don't know what ubuntu standard uses | 17:42 |
| KillGuta | it's an older version | 17:42 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: sudo lshw -C video | 17:43 |
| Indoctrine | Tah much | 17:43 |
| outbackwifi | bariga: are you trying to restart X or shut it down or kill an X client? | 17:43 |
| EvilDaemon | What's the command to make all your partitions into one big one, using fdisk? | 17:43 |
| EvilDaemon | Or just delete them all | 17:43 |
| zzznn | yes | 17:43 |
| outbackwifi | KillGuta: that would not be necessary, use apt-get to install | 17:43 |
| Ali_ix | EvilDaemon: use parted or gparted | 17:43 |
| zzznn | help | 17:44 |
| bariga | i'd rather stop it but restarting it could go as well | 17:44 |
| zzznn | use help | 17:44 |
| KillGuta | outbackwifi the version I am installing works better with games | 17:44 |
| sysdoc | I just did some updates from the update mgr and after a reboot I got another update notification for restricted drivers. Now the restricted drivers is presenting 3 options for the Nvidia drivers. I'm currently running ver 173, I have a choice of two others ver 71 ver and 96. Does anyone know which is actually the newest?? | 17:44 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: It doesn't list what drivers my video card is using. | 17:44 |
| EvilDaemon | Ali_ix: Just parted, no arguments | 17:44 |
| outbackwifi | bariga: ctl+alt+backspace restarts | 17:44 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: pastebin what it says | 17:44 |
| KillGuta | so anyone got an idea how? :) | 17:44 |
| remoteCTRL | is it habit not to support "ancient" graphics cards anymore? | 17:44 |
| bariga | cause i was planning on modifing my x client so i can login on different screens | 17:44 |
| Ali_ix | !parted | EvilDaemon | 17:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about parted | 17:44 |
| photon_ | Isn't there a way to make a slow mouse fast without using accel, ie. setting sens in gconf-editor? But all I have there is threshold and accel factor. :( | 17:44 |
| bariga | thx :) | 17:44 |
| YaManicKill | i just converted my girlfriend to linux :D | 17:45 |
| outbackwifi | KillGuta: the three quick steps for any installation from source are.. ./configure, make and make install | 17:45 |
| photon_ | Was installation successful YaManicKill ? | 17:45 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: http://indoctrine.pastebin.ca/1219067 | 17:45 |
| chazco | Hi... with compiz turned off I can move windows behind the gnome menus (using alt+drag), which is useful for the ones that dont fit on screen. Anyone know how to enable that when compiz is enabled? | 17:45 |
| photon_ | hehe | 17:45 |
| YaManicKill | yes...it was fnatastic photon_ | 17:45 |
| Ali_ix | !gparted | EvilDaemon | 17:45 |
| ubottu | EvilDaemon: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 17:45 |
| outbackwifi | YaManicKill: thats scary | 17:45 |
| sriramoman | ubottu, how are you? | 17:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about how are you? | 17:45 |
| YaManicKill | everything worked out the box | 17:45 |
| juro_ | hi, what package do I have to install to have the "service" command? | 17:45 |
| YaManicKill | graphics, wireless, even built in card reader | 17:45 |
| outbackwifi | juro_: you cant | 17:45 |
| EvilDaemon | Ali_ix: I don't have a gui, command line. :\ | 17:45 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: it's unclaimed, i.e. lshw believes that no driver for it is loaded | 17:46 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: How shall I fix this? | 17:46 |
| photon_ | Anyway, help. Isn't there a way to make a slow mouse fast without using accel, ie. setting sens in gconf-editor? But all I have there is threshold and accel factor. :( | 17:46 |
| outbackwifi | EvilDaemon: cfdisk | 17:46 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: i don't know. does your X work, for a start? | 17:46 |
| outbackwifi | !cfdisk | 17:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cfdisk | 17:46 |
| KillGuta | Could you look at this outbackwifi? http://pastebin.com/m3f51346d | 17:46 |
| bariga | thx outbackwifi this is much better :) | 17:46 |
| juro_ | outbackwifi, why do you state this? I have to old machines running 6.0x that both have service installed | 17:46 |
| Killer--Tux | help with printer | 17:46 |
| KillGuta | and tell me what I am doing wrong ? | 17:46 |
| YaManicKill | she did get a little bit annoyed today when firefox updated and went wonky. to which i just told her to restart it...and o...it worked | 17:46 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: You mean as in... I can use various windows and desktops? Yes. | 17:46 |
| Ali_ix | EvilDaemon: check man parted or google it, it ios an application create/edit/move/extend partions | 17:47 |
| Killer--Tux | hp psc 1210v all in one | 17:47 |
| outbackwifi | juro_: you mean you use service start something in Ubuntu? | 17:47 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: then this would sound more like a bug with "lshw" than anything else. why do you need to know what driver you're using? | 17:47 |
| orogor | hi, anyone knows where the defualt ubuntu iptable config is stored ? | 17:47 |
| juro_ | outbackwifi, yes | 17:47 |
| YaManicKill | i also got my mum to use ubuntu on her eee pc instead of xandros. she really didn't like xandros...and she seems much more pleased now | 17:47 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: no default setting afaik | 17:47 |
| outbackwifi | juro_: doesnt happen by default; we use /etc/init.d/service start ec | 17:47 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: check current rules by sudo iptables -L | 17:47 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Well, I was just curious as to why a not-very-graphical-intensive game was lagging on normal detail, and it had nothing to do with my CPU or RAM | 17:47 |
| chazco | Anyone know how to allow alt+drag to move windows above the taskbar? It doesnt work when compiz is on | 17:48 |
| juro_ | outbackwifi, I know it doesn't happen by default, that is why I want to install it ... | 17:48 |
| juro_ | outbackwifi, obviously it isn't a package on its own, therefore I need the name of the package it is in. | 17:48 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: It was running natively too. | 17:48 |
| Ali_ix | YaManicKill: cool :) | 17:48 |
| koko | hi | 17:48 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, seems empty | 17:48 |
| outbackwifi | KillGuta: you should first cd into the directory that you untarred wine source; then type ./configure (thats dot slash) | 17:48 |
| YaManicKill | photon_, does acceleration not work properly for ya? | 17:48 |
| mEck0 | Hi! I've just come a cross a really weird thing. When I ran: man shutdown, I see this: http://pastebin.com/d69ab35e6 . But I googled for it, and: man shutdown shows the following on a website and for a friend of mine too: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_shutdow.htm How does it come? | 17:49 |
| outbackwifi | juro_: sorry mate, cant help you with that | 17:49 |
| vignesh | Heya | 17:49 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: so you have no rules at all | 17:49 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, seems weirdo to me to have it running with no rules | 17:49 |
| mEck0 | I'm running Ubuntu 8.4. See, I don't even have the -a argument listed in my mmanpage, not either the access control section :S | 17:49 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, but on the default install .. | 17:49 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: try firestarter or ufw | 17:49 |
| juro_ | outbackwifi, no problem - I know it is possible just forgot the package :) | 17:49 |
| vignesh | I kinda had to hard reset my laptop by pressing the power button | 17:49 |
| Ali_ix | !ufw | orogor | 17:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 17:49 |
| KillGuta | outbackwifi done that | 17:49 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, ufw ? | 17:49 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find Section "Device", and see what driver it uses | 17:49 |
| Darksaeder | hello. if im connected to my ubuntu laptop over the internet using ssh, how can i download files from my laptop and get them on this computer? | 17:49 |
| YaManicKill | photon_, if you go to the mouse preferences in the preferences menu, it should allow you to change sensitivity as well as acceleration. it does on mine anyways | 17:49 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: ubuntu default firewall, there is also a simple GUI for it: gufw | 17:49 |
| vignesh | and after reboot, the files in my home directory appear on my desktop | 17:49 |
| EvilDaemon | ufw : Ubuntu Fire Wall | 17:49 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, firestart gives some weirdo error saying that the inerface isn t ready, | 17:49 |
| outbackwifi | Darksaeder: you can use scp or sftp | 17:50 |
| EvilDaemon | gufw : GNOME Ubuntu Fire Wall | 17:50 |
| vignesh | There is no desktop directory in my home directory | 17:50 |
| juro_ | what is the easiest way to migrate a bunch of user folders from one Ubuntu (6.0x) to another (8.04)? rsync? | 17:50 |
| sriramoman | how do i add an extension ".xtt" to all the files in <ls name??> | 17:50 |
| vignesh | how do I fix this | 17:50 |
| koko | who's there ? | 17:50 |
| Ali_ix | EvilDaemon: orogor: altough, they call it: uncomplicated fire wall now | 17:50 |
| bariga | mkdir Desktop :) | 17:50 |

| YaManicKill | is anyone using intrepid just now? | 17:50 |
| LjL | Rhorse: we don't need that, please | 17:50 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: http://indoctrine.pastebin.ca/1219071 It looks rather... generic. | 17:50 |

| LjL | !etiquette > Rhorse (Rhorse, see the private message from Ubotu) | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Rhorse, please see my private message | 17:50 |
| YaManicKill | i really like it | 17:50 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: check prefrences for local and internet interfaces. btw, firestarter is a dead project, try something else | 17:50 |
| EvilDaemon | Ali_ix: Ah, I was just guessing it stood for ubuntu. :p | 17:50 |
| bariga | vignesh: try mkdir Desktop | 17:50 |
| Ali_ix | EvilDaemon: at first it was, but just redefined to be distro independence | 17:51 |
| pacyang | hi | 17:51 |
| koko | hallo..r u still there? | 17:51 |
| outbackwifi | !ask | koko | 17:52 |
| ubottu | koko: 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. :-) | 17:52 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: It sees "Synaptics TouchPad" in there, which is why it seems generic | 17:52 |
| StevenJosway | say i sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then want to go back to the normal cmd line... is that possible? | 17:52 |
| koko | pacyang..hi too.. | 17:52 |
| pacyang | hi koko | 17:52 |
| jamesish | StevenJosway: yes. | 17:52 |
| Ali_ix | StevenJosway:you can always switch to virtual terminal by ctrl+alt+f1-f6 | 17:53 |
| cllaudyu | hello can any one help me with something? | 17:53 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: ah, yeah, that's the new "no-config" X11... well then i honestly don't know how you find out what driver your using. but if the game is *a bit* choppy, then you're using the Intel driver, and as i'm aware there's only one Intel driver in Ubuntu. if you were using VESA, it would be much, much more than a bit choppy | 17:53 |
| koko | may i know whr ur come from | 17:53 |
| Ali_ix | !aks | cllaudyu | 17:53 |

| vignesh | All the files in my home appear on my desktop | 17:53 |
| vignesh | how do I solve this | 17:53 |
| pacyang | i'm from france | 17:53 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Okay... Why would using specific drivers make it more choppy? | 17:53 |
| bariga | does anybody know where i can find the line of code wich starts my first X session automaticly? | 17:53 |
| vignesh | I don`t know how they are linked | 17:53 |
| Ali_ix | nnull: by virtual you mean virtual terminals? | 17:53 |
| nnull | Ali_ix¬ ahuh | 17:54 |
| YaManicKill | does anyone use Nvidia 8200? has anyone got it working in ubuntu? | 17:54 |
| Ali_ix | nnull: impossible, compix need a x host to run over | 17:54 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: using VESA virtually means using "no" drivers at all, VESA is a very generic interface to graphics cards | 17:54 |
| Ali_ix | *compiz | 17:54 |
| nnull | Ali_ix¬ heh yea was a joke :s | 17:54 |
| koko | i'm from indonesia ,nice to meet u..do u always chat like..i think it seems fun | 17:54 |
| outbackwifi | vignesh: what is your issue | 17:54 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: So if I were using VESA, would it still be lagging on low detail? | 17:55 |

| Indoctrine | !grap | 17:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about grap | 17:55 |
| Indoctrine | !grep | 17:55 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 17:55 |
| Ali_ix | pacyang: man grep | 17:55 |
| outbackwifi | pacyang: google grep | 17:55 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, cool that s a goood simple soft | 17:55 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: it would be dead slow. | 17:55 |
| Indoctrine | I'm curious about grep myself | 17:55 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, is there a way i can see the blocked connection or troggered loggings? | 17:55 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: it is designed to be simple and powerfull, enjoy :) | 17:55 |
| kiachi | ～ims | 17:55 |
| kiachi | ~ims | 17:55 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Okies. It's not lagging on low detail so obviously it is the Intel driver. | 17:56 |
| RickZilla | Using terminal, how can I move a file to a folder? sudo cp gives me an error, and I suspect it's because the file doesn't already exist in the destination folder | 17:56 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: you would see the frames redrawing, pixel by pixel | 17:56 |
| kiachi | ~ims | 17:56 |
| KillGuta | how do I sudo my file archiver? | 17:56 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: not sure aboyt logging, look /var/log/ for something familiar | 17:56 |
| nnull | Indoctrine¬ grep is ..... well... learn grep it aint hard heh | 17:56 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: try GLOBS if you want an assessment of how your card performs. however, i'm afraid there currently isn't a .deb package of it | 17:56 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, it s rather primitive compared to a direct access to iptable , but i don t feells like messign with iptable for my home computer | 17:56 |
| algol | mv | 17:56 |
| outbackwifi | KillGuta: sudo file-roller | 17:56 |
| vignesh | outbackwifi, I had to hard power down my laptop.. after powering up, I find all the files in my home also appear on my desktop.. There is no desktop folder in my home directory | 17:56 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: That sounds terrible. It wasn't half that bad on normal. | 17:56 |
| nnull | grep on linux is a must | 17:56 |
| KillGuta | thanks | 17:56 |

| newbie101345345 | hello, does anyone know how to set up an old WinTV Nova-S card? | 17:58 |
| Coppershade-org | Ubuntu works fine on my laptop - as long as I have my power cord and internet cable connected at all times... | 17:58 |
| LjL | koko, that was the second warning. this is the Ubuntu technical support channel, everything else doesn't belong here | 17:58 |
| Ali_ix | Coppershade-org: and when you unplug them? | 17:58 |
| afallenhope | LjL, don't get your panties in a twist it does it to all channels. IT's not like you're providing any support. | 17:58 |
| Coppershade-org | wireless doesn't work, and I set it to shutdown on critical battery, but it just 'pop' stopped. | 17:58 |
| Coppershade-org | so now I have no network icon in admin... | 17:58 |
| RickZilla | Rhorse: I'm doing it that way, but it's telling me that path doesn't exist | 17:58 |
| koko | oh..that is very cold .btw why u use name " pacyang"?i think it's uniqe.. | 17:58 |
| LjL | afallenhope: it's not? | 17:58 |
| newbie101345345 | does anyone know how to set up an old WinTV Nova-S card?... | 17:59 |
| Rhorse | RickZilla, then it *doesn't find the path and type that instead | 17:59 |
| Ali_ix | outbackwifi: should we call for admins? :| | 17:59 |
| RickZilla | Rhorse: not sure what you mean | 17:59 |
| RickZilla | type what instead? | 17:59 |
| afallenhope | LjL, also.. "avoid using" doesn't say I HAVE to not use it... sooo.. either change the bot or stop complaining | 17:59 |
| Indoctrine | How does one denote a space in the command line when changing directories? | 17:59 |
| pacyang | we must use private message koko (here is support channel) | 17:59 |
| outbackwifi | Ali_ix: why would you say that? | 17:59 |
| Coppershade-org | sorry, I mean preferences menu | 17:59 |
| Ali_ix | Indoctrine: use quotes (" ') | 17:59 |
| Rhorse | RickZilla, you are not correctly typing the path. You can use /home/Desktop/file for source and what is the destination? | 17:59 |
| Indoctrine | Ali_ix: Alright, thanks | 18:00 |
| Coppershade-org | how do I get a network icon in the menu? reinstall ubuntu? already? | 18:00 |
| Ali_ix | outbackwifi: koko :| | 18:00 |
| pacyang | but i'm a noob in irc how we do private message ? :S | 18:00 |
| outbackwifi | oh him | 18:00 |
| kitche | Indoctrine: or you can use \<space> as well | 18:00 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, thanks a lot , i have a static ip since yesterday, in the 5 min installed ufw i already got some weidro connections blocked | 18:00 |

| orogor | Ali_ix, just configured it to block incoming connections that was enought :) | 18:00 |
| outbackwifi | vignesh: what does you /home/vignesh look like | 18:00 |
| genii | Indoctrine: Or escape the spaces by prefacing them with a \ | 18:01 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: cool, since i am behind a linksys router, i dont play around local firewalls, but should try UFW once :) | 18:01 |
| koko | private message..?what do u mean..?i don't really understand.. | 18:01 |

| Indoctrine | Can someone explain the regex for grep to me? | 18:04 |
| pacyang | So, Is it possible in grep to find a word which contain exactly certain letter ? | 18:04 |
| outbackwifi | pacyang: yes | 18:04 |
| Indoctrine | I'm looking at the tutorial and I don't get it. :( | 18:04 |
| pacyang | I want to make a bash script which find a word with letter (is for scrabble :D ) | 18:04 |
| outbackwifi | Indoctrine: it would be easier if you tried out with a specific example | 18:04 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: the regex to do what? | 18:04 |
| Rhorse | Indoctrine, it means anything you type will match either fully or partially, and it's case-insensitive | 18:04 |
| LjL | pacyang: i don't understand what you mean | 18:05 |
| sia-eXtreme | i cant open launchpad.net , any help?? | 18:05 |
| pacyang | but man grep don't help me about that | 18:05 |
| pacyang | example : | 18:05 |
| pacyang | i have a dictionnaries in a text file | 18:05 |
| [T]ank | ok, so i was on a 64bit install of ubuntu and was having trouble getting my scanner to work, so i hurried and installed the 32 bit version.... same problem. I had this working before, now it is not. the error i get is " failed to open device 'hpaio:/net/PSC_2100_Series?ip=192.168.1.20': Device busy. Now what should I check? | 18:05 |
| LjL | !enter | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:05 |
| WDC | Hey hey | 18:05 |

| pacyang | how i can find GOOGLE (but not OGLE) | 18:06 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Well, I don't understand the descriptions given here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/grep | 18:06 |
| pacyang | thank for the link | 18:06 |

| [T]ank | reinstalled for nothing!!! | 18:07 |
| afallenhope | when you add an "alias" how do you reset the currect bash session you have open? | 18:07 |
| LjL | pacyang: grep isn't the best tool for that. | 18:07 |
| pacyang | oh ! grep ! | 18:07 |
| afallenhope | I typed bash and that worked.. | 18:07 |
| === Coppershade-org is now known as Photon_ | ||
| === Wotan[auei] is now known as Wotanskrieger | ||
| Photon_ | outbackwifi, yes, no Network Icon in Preferences menu. Just because the battery died. | 18:07 |
| afallenhope | pacyang, sed, awk | 18:07 |
| pacyang | an work only in english ? (my langage is french and i already have the dictionnary) | 18:07 |
| aaron_ | how do I get sendmail working? | 18:08 |
| LjL | pacyang: no, you can use it with any dictionary | 18:08 |
| pacyang | oh great* | 18:08 |
| afallenhope | pacyang, join #ubuntu-fr then | 18:08 |
| afallenhope | or talk to me ^_^ | 18:08 |
| sia-eXtreme | what can i do with time out error when i want to open launchpad ???? | 18:08 |
| Indoctrine | The one in that list I particularly DON'T get is the end of and beginning of words ones, because it doesn't work | 18:08 |
| outbackwifi | Photon_: i dont have a network icon in preferences too! | 18:08 |
| nnull | pacyang¬ dont do it! its a trick! | 18:08 |
| nnull | :F | 18:08 |
| orogor | Ali_ix, you know if there s a default profile for apparmor or if there s a guyi for it as well ? | 18:08 |
| Tim1_ | how do i configure sound in ubunto? | 18:08 |
| Photon_ | ok, so it was in admin as I wrote first | 18:09 |
| nnull | lol hi Tim1_ | 18:09 |
| outbackwifi | Photon_: apparently its moved to System--> Administration | 18:09 |
| Photon_ | after rebooting twice | 18:09 |
| Photon_ | nono, always there | 18:09 |
| Photon_ | but couldn't find it after I connecter power | 18:09 |
| Photon_ | -r+d* | 18:09 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: define "it doesn't work". they do work | 18:09 |
| Tim1_ | i have configured internet and installed java it works great...i need to configure the sound | 18:09 |
| Photon_ | probably just settings that were lost then when battery died. strange. and bad | 18:09 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Well, the page doesn't give a syntax for the commands | 18:10 |
| Dillizar | can anybody tell me how i can connect my nokia via data cable | 18:10 |
| Tim1_ | my xubunto machine is screaming but without sound | 18:10 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: ? it says the syntax for those two is \< and \> respectively, and it even gives an example that includes the former | 18:10 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: maybe if you called it ubuntu it wouldnt scream so much | 18:10 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: I need examples, not just straight commands. | 18:11 |
| Tim1_ | i am able to pay dvd movie... | 18:11 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: err, « grep "\<[A-Za-z].*" file » is an example, and it says that it will "search for any word which begins with a letter upper or lower case" | 18:11 |
| [Solaris] | !blueray | 18:11 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about blueray | 18:11 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Well, it's a pretty useless example if you want to know if something's working. | 18:12 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: fire up a terminal, type alsamixer, move all sliders to max | 18:12 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: and please say Ubuntu or Xubuntu | 18:12 |
| Dillizar | can anybody tell me how i can connect my nokia via data cable and ObexFTP | 18:12 |
| Tim1_ | sudo alsamixer? :outback | 18:12 |
| WDC | when i go alsamixer, i get alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 18:13 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: not sudo just normal | 18:13 |
| LjL | Indoctrine, if you want to know if WHAT is working? i can't GUESS what you want to do if you don't say | 18:13 |
| WDC | then again it says i have no sound | 18:13 |
| ompaul | Indoctrine, what are you trying to do .... be specific | 18:13 |
| outbackwifi | WDC: does your lspci show a sound card? | 18:13 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Well, I'm just mucking about with it. But the example that is given does nothing on my computer. | 18:13 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: of course you can CHECK if it's working, you just have to provide a file called "file" containing - or not containing, words that begin with lower or upper case letters, and see if it outputs them or not | 18:13 |
| RickZilla | After all of that...still not getting any sound out of my Soundblaster Live card....going on 4 hours, got to try something else! | 18:13 |
| WDC | outbackwifi: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD | 18:13 |
| WDC | Audio Controller (rev 03) | 18:13 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: does "nothing"? it returns you to the terminal without saying anything? | 18:13 |
| ompaul | Indoctrine, cos, perhaps you are not in the right directory to find something | 18:14 |
| Dillizar | can anybody tell me how i can connect my nokia via data cable | 18:14 |
| LjL | pacyang: an -d /your/dictionary/file -w -m 6 ooggle | 18:14 |
| outbackwifi | !repeat | Dillizar | 18:14 |
| ubottu | Dillizar: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 18:14 |
| cheva | ujii | 18:14 |
| Indoctrine | Okay | 18:15 |
| Indoctrine | That did something | 18:15 |
| Indoctrine | I added an asterisk to the end | 18:15 |
| Indoctrine | And it bombarded my screen with html. :P | 18:15 |
| FloodBot2 | Indoctrine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:15 |
| WDC | outbackwifi: Can you help? | 18:15 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: How do I tell it NOT to include HTML files? | 18:16 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: because, of course, it searched in all files in the current directory (since that's what an asterisk means in bash), and you probably had a lot of HTML there. | 18:16 |
| cheva | comment activer la commende 3d | 18:16 |
| LjL | Indoctrine, that's not grep that you should tell, it's bash. grep only searches within the files that *you* tell him to search (in the example, a file named "file") | 18:16 |
| LjL | !fr | cheva | 18:16 |
| ubottu | cheva: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 18:16 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: The folder has one HTML file in it. | 18:16 |
| outbackwifi | WDC: does this help --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662393 ? | 18:16 |
| ompaul | Indoctrine, so after your line of text to issue the command you can ignore stuff add this | grep -v html | 18:16 |
| freezone | plz help! can someone tell me how to change the myql root password? I think our password may have been leaked I am using ubuntu server 8 | 18:16 |
| freezone | mysql | 18:17 |
| Indoctrine | ompaul: I'll try it | 18:17 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: if you want to just see if it works, why don't you create ONE text file, add stuff to it, and then test with THAT file? | 18:17 |
| outbackwifi | freezone: mysqladmin password | 18:17 |
| WDC | outbackwifi: I'll see thanks | 18:17 |
| Indoctrine | ompaul: That didn't work. | 18:17 |
| LjL | ompaul: he's grepping inside files, not for filenames | 18:17 |
| ompaul | LjL, missed that | 18:17 |
| outbackwifi | Indoctrine: you need to add a -f to look inside files | 18:17 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: I have a ready made directory full of stuff. | 18:17 |
| WDC | outbackwifi: Could not find package linux-backports-modules | 18:17 |
| freezone | outbackwifi: i get access denied for root | 18:17 |
| clayg | are their any ebay tools for ubuntu? | 18:18 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: cool, so try it on *one* well crafted file in that directory | 18:18 |
| Photon_ | error message on reboot, battery died when gconf-editor was open, have i wrecked my ubuntu? | 18:18 |
| outbackwifi | freezone: do you know your existing password? then use -p | 18:18 |
| Haukee1 | Hey, can i export an PDF via GIMP? | 18:18 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: I do get results. | 18:18 |
| bobertdos | Photon_: not likely | 18:18 |
| freezone | outbackwifi: got this message mysqladmin: Too few arguments to change password | 18:19 |
| pacyang | i have another question : how i can sort a list by word's long ? (maybe with the sort command ?) | 18:19 |
| [Solaris] | is blu-ray players supported in ubuntu? | 18:19 |
| Photon_ | ok. | 18:19 |
| outbackwifi | freezone: mysqladmin --help might help | 18:19 |
| Indoctrine | http://indoctrine.pastebin.ca/1219088 <-- Like so. | 18:19 |
| bobertdos | freezone: I think mysqladmin has a manpage. Read it to figure out the proper arguments. | 18:19 |
| Photon_ | after folding my laptop screen down, ubuntu becomes unusably slow. how to fix? | 18:19 |
| freezone | cna i change it in phpmyadmin interface? | 18:19 |
| aaron_ | does anybody know how to configure orca | 18:20 |
| outbackwifi | Indoctrine: you dont have to pipe one grep into another | 18:20 |
| Tim1_ | outback: increase the settings for master to lef to 100? | 18:20 |
| LjL | pacyang: uhm, no, not with sort... perhaps with msort | 18:20 |
| Indoctrine | Oh. | 18:20 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: yes | 18:20 |
| ompaul | Indoctrine, you only pipe if you want to do something additional | 18:20 |
| pacyang | ok thanks ;) | 18:21 |
| aaron_ | can orca read out loud my email from evolution | 18:21 |
| Ali_ix | orogor: afaik, there is no gui for apparmor, and i am not much into its rules/configs | 18:21 |
| sugi | what's the differences between rm -r and rm -rf? | 18:21 |
| Indoctrine | ompaul: Oh, well. I just typed out what you guys said with your | :P | 18:21 |
| Tim1_ | outback: in the settings manager....it has 2 choices.........intel hda or default....my mbo is intel integrated motherboard | 18:21 |
| outbackwifi | Photon_: after folding it down how do you even use it | 18:21 |
| Dragan91 | anyone know what is console command for chaning display resolution? | 18:21 |
| elexodus | Not quite Ubuntu related, but I'm setting up my Abit IX38, and get a two-tone siren "generally caused by overheating or out of specification voltages". Anybody wanna try and help me out? Thanks. | 18:21 |
| Tim1_ | in settings manager-> sound | 18:21 |
| Photon_ | open it up again | 18:21 |
| Photon_ | ? | 18:21 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: use intel hda | 18:21 |
| ompaul | Indoctrine, you now have to do the hard work and use it for 15 minutes any way you can think | 18:21 |
| Photon_ | duh | 18:21 |
| Ob1Kn001 | Anyone having problems with the ubuntu repositories? | 18:21 |
| LjL | Indoctrine, err, you do realize you're grepping *binary* files? | 18:22 |
| Tim1_ | i picked that up : outback | 18:22 |
| bobertdos | sugi: The f switch adds the behavior of forcing yes to all prompts. | 18:22 |
| Indoctrine | ompaul: With pleasure. o_O | 18:22 |
| sugi | Dragan91: I would like to know that too, except for the xorg.conf. you know about that right? | 18:22 |
| Tim1_ | i pluged in my speaker to line out:outback | 18:22 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: And what's that meant to mean? | 18:22 |
| sugi | bobertdos: thanks | 18:22 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: it's meant to mean that grep doesn't have a clue what a .doc file is, it can only do meaningful searches within TEXT files | 18:22 |
| LjL | plain text. ASCII, letters | 18:22 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: ok | 18:22 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Well, it tends to get results for strings within the file alright | 18:23 |
| ompaul | Indoctrine, text is like source code, i.e. not formatted | 18:23 |
| Guinnesss | Hi People! I need your help...I want to use unison to synchronize to folders, both on NTFS disk, the one is on an internal HDD and the other on on my USB disk that I plug in...The problem is the usb disk mounts with only permission for me and the hdd folder has permissions for everyone....How do I change the permissions that the usb disk mounts with? | 18:23 |
| Aranel | anyone know editor application like editra ? | 18:23 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: most likely, since a .doc does contain the uncompressed text, but you can't really rely on that | 18:23 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Well, it's still useful, is it not? | 18:23 |
| sugi | i got some stuff in my trash can that won't get remove manual through the GUI, it says i don't have the premission. how would i rm those items from the crash can? sudo rm -rf ///:trash doesn't work | 18:23 |
| tuxist | it is possible to use 2 xvodoo 2 card in sli with ubuntu 8.04 | 18:24 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: if it's not something you need to actually rely upon | 18:24 |
| danbh_intrepid | !trash > sugi | 18:24 |
| ubottu | sugi, please see my private message | 18:24 |
| bobertdos | !trash | sugi | 18:24 |
| ubottu | sugi: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 18:24 |
| outbackwifi | Guinnesss: i would chmod all the files on the USB to be world readable/writable | 18:24 |
| ompaul | Indoctrine, not really, if you hit the wrong thing, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_file | 18:24 |
| Cow_Dstro_fs | surabaya | 18:24 |
| ompaul | Indoctrine, then search the same utility for ascii | 18:24 |
| outbackwifi | Indoctrine: use the google desktop to look into doc files etc | 18:24 |
| LjL | Indoctrine: anyway, that only works for .doc because it's a pretty stupid format (not even compressed), but it won't work at all with, for example, .tar.gz or .zip files, or for that matter OpenOffice .odt documents | 18:25 |
| Guinnesss | outbackwifi: that would work, but NTFS doesnt remember the permissions does it? Will I have to do that everytime manually? | 18:25 |
| sugi | thanks | 18:25 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: Well, I wasn't expecting it to | 18:25 |
| outbackwifi | Guinnesss: nope | 18:25 |
| mavsman4457 | How do I update my iPod through ubuntu? | 18:25 |
| Guinnesss | outbackwifi...Ok, I'm gonne try that. | 18:25 |
| outbackwifi | mavsman4457: gtkpod | 18:25 |
| Ob1Kn001 | A call to apt-get update is returning 403, any ideas? | 18:25 |
| Guinnesss | mavsman4457: Try amarok. | 18:26 |
| Photon_ | why does ubuntu show the logo, then a text screen(!) then the login? | 18:26 |
| Photon_ | UGLY | 18:26 |
| jlong | mavsman4457 amarok is good | 18:26 |
| Photon_ | sry. Ugly. | 18:26 |
| outbackwifi | Ob1Kn001: change the mirrors and see | 18:26 |
| Ali_ix | mavsman4457: update firmware? or music library? | 18:26 |

| mavsman4457 | I use songbird for my library | 18:27 |
| Ali_ix | mavsman4457: you can't, it is done only through itunes, and otherways is too risky | 18:27 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: yes it is | 18:27 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: how would i do that please? | 18:27 |
| bobertdos | !sound > mark1 | 18:27 |
| ubottu | mark1, please see my private message | 18:27 |
| Photon_ | gconf displayed the same error after reboot. | 18:27 |
| amenado | Symmetria-> am curious as to how is your setup like? you got it working? | 18:27 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: you use iptables to redirect all connections to port 80 to go to squid at say port 3128 | 18:27 |
| Photon_ | i am going to see this alert on every boot. just because the battrey ran out | 18:28 |
| ompaul | !enter | mavsman4457 | 18:28 |
| ubottu | mavsman4457: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:28 |
| mavsman4457 | Ali_ix ok thanks and is there a way to make it so when I plug in my iPod it opens up songbird and not rythmbox | 18:28 |
| Ob1Kn001 | outbackwifi: That did the trick, thanks. | 18:28 |
| Photon_ | can i repair my ubuntu? | 18:28 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: google for "squid as transparent proxy" | 18:28 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: i set up that iptabled on the box with squid on it correct? | 18:28 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: i have that setup.. im trying to figure out why it isnt working | 18:28 |
| Photon_ | and it boots slow now | 18:28 |
| Symmetria | amenado just added another device and another monitor to the xorg.conf | 18:28 |
| outbackwifi | Ob1Kn001: yw | 18:28 |
| Photon_ | takes forever | 18:28 |
| vonderer | hallo there… have anyone encountered troubles with recieving typing notifications from icq contacts in Pidgin? | 18:28 |
| Indoctrine | LjL: The only problem I've found with it is with searching for the letter "q" and "x" at the beginning of words gives me all documents whereas I'll get less results for end of words | 18:28 |
| Ali_ix | mavsman4457: check preferred applications under prefrences or control center | 18:28 |
| Photon_ | can someone recommend another linux that is more compatible with laptops? | 18:28 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: you need to look at the logs to figure out what is going on | 18:28 |
| outbackwifi | Photon_: ubuntu | 18:29 |
| outbackwifi | :P | 18:29 |
| mark1 | I don't have a volume control | 18:29 |
| mavsman4457 | Ali_ix, I already tried that and it didn't do much good | 18:29 |
| amenado | Symmetria-> i meant, physically, you have two pci cards? i have a pci and the old agp | 18:29 |
| Photon_ | well, my experience of it thus far is unfavorable in the extreme. | 18:29 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: the only logs i find dont have anything.. here is my iptables for that.. http://slexy.org/view/s21MzHFxei | 18:29 |
| outbackwifi | mark1: open up a terminal and type alsamixer. push all the sliders to max | 18:29 |

| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: what about your squid logs | 18:30 |
| ompaul | Photon_, check out distrowatch.com you can find lots of distros there - as a matter of interest how powerful is the laptop, processor, ram, how much hard drive? | 18:30 |
| bobertdos | mavsman4457: Go into the File Browser. You'll find the Media preferences under Edit->Preferences | 18:30 |

| dr_willis | Photon_, in the 5+ laptops ive messed with - with linux. Ubuntu has been the best. - But all the disrtos are getting better with laptops with every releae.. the issue i often see is with VERY new laptops.. they often do things in nonstandard ways. and it may talke some time for the disrtos to catch up to the quirks | 18:30 |
| Ali_ix | mavsman4457: there was some gui for portable devices too, but i can't find it under hardy! :} | 18:30 |

| sic | Hey gang, i'm having trouble installing 8.04. I'm a total noob... I boot from my dvd rom, i chose english, then i tell it to do a full install. i get the window that pops up saying 'loading linux kernel...' then i get a black screen with a cursor in the upper left blinking. my install never goes further than this. i've tried unplugging all my extra USB stuff to no avail. | 18:31 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: theres access.log cache.log and store.log | 18:31 |

| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: launch squid in foreground and see the messages then | 18:32 |
| mavsman4457 | bobertdos: thanks that looks good but what if it doesn't show the program I want | 18:32 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: how do i do that | 18:32 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: i dont know what that means | 18:32 |
| outbackwifi | sic: do a media check | 18:32 |
| sic | oK | 18:32 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: launch squid from a terminal | 18:32 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: its on a headless box | 18:32 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: thats not an issue, you can ssh into it | 18:33 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: is the headless box running ubuntu? | 18:33 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: ok.. i did /etc/init.d/squid stop and then after that i typed in squid | 18:33 |

| Astral_Projectio | hi.. can i downgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to hardy? | 18:34 |
| freezone | pastebin? | 18:34 |
| dr_willis | Astral_Projectio, downgrading is not supported I think. | 18:34 |
| unop | !downgrade | Astral_Projectio | 18:34 |
| ubottu | Astral_Projectio: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 18:34 |
| outbackwifi | Astral_Projectio: not without a reinstall | 18:34 |
| bobertdos | mavsman4457: There isn't a way to add a custom command is there? I don't remember. Also make sure the program you want is properly installed. | 18:34 |
| speedhunt3r | When I go to places> connect to server, it says no application is registered as handling this file.. how do i make it open nautilus ? | 18:34 |
| techsupport | how can i restart ntpdate on ubuntu 8.04 server ? | 18:35 |
| mavsman4457 | bobertdos: no there isn't and my program and is properly installed, I just told it to ask me what to do and now I'm gonna see if it gives me a full list | 18:35 |
| outbackwifi | techsupport: /etc/init.d/ntpdate restart | 18:35 |
| unop | techsupport, i believe it's a command, not a service | 18:35 |
| outbackwifi | techsupport: /etc/init.d/ntp restart | 18:35 |
| outbackwifi | techsupport: like unop says theres nothing called ntpdate in init.d ; only ntp | 18:36 |
| unop | $ whatis ntpdate ntpdate (8) - set the date and time via NTP | 18:36 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: after i started squid by just typing 'squid' on the commandline.. then what | 18:36 |

| Astral_Projectio | i modified sources.list | 18:36 |

| Astral_Projectio | i could do aptitude upgrade | 18:37 |
| Astral_Projectio | but not dist-upgrade | 18:37 |
| mavsman4457 | bobertdos: It didn't give me that option so I just told it to do nothing since songbird wasn't on the list, only rythmbox and banshee were on the list | 18:37 |
| leslieviljoen | hi ppl. I would like to install Xubuntu but I have a Hardy alternate CD handy - any way to install Xubuntu directly from that CD? | 18:37 |
| Astral_Projectio | and i cannot see "new distro" in update-manager | 18:37 |
| techsupport | outbackwifi, /etc/init.d/ntp restart didnt return any output, is that normal ? | 18:37 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: you need to launch squid with -N to keep it in foreground | 18:37 |
| Astral_Projectio | what should i do | 18:37 |
| outbackwifi | techsupport: yes | 18:37 |
| leslieviljoen | I'd like to avoid downloading another iso if possible | 18:37 |
| Ali_ix | leslieviljoen: xubuntu (xfce) isn't included in ubuntu cd's | 18:37 |
| leslieviljoen | aw | 18:37 |
| Ali_ix | leslieviljoen: eider you should get xubuntu cd or install xfce after installing ubuntu | 18:38 |
| Ali_ix | *either :} | 18:38 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: ok.. i did that and it doesnt seem to be doing anything | 18:38 |
| outbackwifi | Astral_Projectio: go to #ubuntu+1 | 18:38 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: did you kill the instance that you already started? | 18:38 |
| FFEMTcJ | ya | 18:39 |
| leslieviljoen | Ali_ix: ah thanks, to minimise downloads I guess I'll install Ubuntu first | 18:39 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: i did /etc/init.d/squid stop | 18:39 |
| mark76 | I still have no sound | 18:39 |
| mark76 | Do I have to do a complete reinstall? | 18:39 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: that wouldnt have stopped the one you launched from terminal | 18:40 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: do a killall -9 squid | 18:40 |
| Ali_ix | leslieviljoen: there is an option to install 'xubuntu-desktop' package in synaptics, that ill take care of all xubuntu specific packages | 18:40 |
| leslieviljoen | Ali_ix: I started an install already, with boot: install task=xfce-desktop | 18:40 |

| nnull | how can i convert shoutcast ( http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=524 ) links to actual shoutcast ip links? | 18:42 |
| quaal | what other place is ubuntu getting its resolution settings from other than xorg.conf. | 18:42 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: ok.. the first linkk you sent i assume was wrong? | 18:42 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: yes :O | 18:42 |
| FFEMTcJ | heh | 18:43 |

| Tim1_ | outback sound is fine now | 18:43 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: great ; now can you say xubuntu please? | 18:43 |
| mark76 | Okay. Next question. Do I need gstreamer plugins with xine and xmms2? | 18:43 |
| outbackwifi | nnull: that link plays french techno in totem | 18:43 |
| Ali_ix | quaal: you may experiencing driver issues | 18:43 |

| outbackwifi | nnull: thats pretty audacious! | 18:45 |
| Tim1_ | there is a run on banks besides that | 18:45 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: all that page does is explains what the log is for and what its arguments are? | 18:45 |
| Photon_ | ok, fuggit. | 18:46 |
| Tim1_ | how do i adjust the monitor settings for ubunto | 18:46 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: so change the log level settings in your squid.conf to debug | 18:46 |
| Photon_ | I give up and slash my wrists. | 18:46 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: not again; ubunt'u' please | 18:46 |

| FFEMTcJ | ok | 18:46 |

| lain_wired | ah okay | 18:47 |
| lain_wired | Ali_ix, thanks | 18:47 |
| outbackwifi | mark76: pulseaudio and alsa are not similar | 18:47 |
| Ali_ix | lain_wired: welcome :) | 18:47 |
| xcasex | see i have this lovely issue. alsa does not do its magic on startup. | 18:48 |
| outbackwifi | mark76: pulseaudio makes esd redundant | 18:48 |
| Tim1_ | is there any terminal editor for monitor like alsa for sound | 18:48 |
| bobertdos | mark76: No, because actually, Pulse is an extension of Alsa. The former sits inside the latter. | 18:48 |
| quaal | could someone please tell me what controls the available resolutions in the screen resolution dialog box in gnome | 18:48 |

| quaal | danbh_intrepid, incorrect | 18:50 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: after changing debug to 9.. theres thousands of new lines in cache.log | 18:50 |
| dr_willis | quaal, xorg.conf and how the drivers detect what the monitor can do. | 18:50 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: you can chose to reduce it | 18:51 |
| mark76 | BRB | 18:51 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: so how do i go through all this to find the problem? | 18:51 |
| mark1 | What the4 heck is the "front" volume control for, anyway? | 18:52 |
| nnull | ok, has anyone got shoutcast retreval* on streamtuner working? :P | 18:52 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: you need to first find out if your requests to port 80 are getting redirected to squid, | 18:52 |
| nnull | because when i tried it i could get all but shoutcasts working | 18:52 |

| antoranz | as a matter of fact, X didn't want to start | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | vikku: is that still around?? | 18:53 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: but if i dont put it in my browser, it doesnt | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: thats not correct | 18:53 |
| dr_willis | nnull, i think i have in the past.. but not tried it lately | 18:53 |
| antoranz | I had to manually edit xorg.conf to set vesa as the driver | 18:53 |

| danbh_intrepid | !intrepid > antoranz | 18:53 |
| ubottu | antoranz, please see my private message | 18:53 |
| quaal | dr_willis, i've tried replacing my xorg.conf with about 5 different backups. after following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#Undetected%20Monitor%20Specs which was recommended here. after i did that it popped up a configuration window after restarting X telling me it was running in minimal resolution mode of which it is still stuck in now 800x600 after trying to restore my xorg.conf several times from | 18:53 |
| quaal | several backups. it is apparent that xorg.conf does not control the screen resolutions available in the screen resolution dialog box in gnome. | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: you should be going to squid on some other port | 18:53 |
| dr_willis | Tim1_, Linux machines can access windows 'shares' yes... | 18:54 |
| mark1 | Gkrellm is underrated :) | 18:54 |
| nnull | dr_willis¬ yea i think its broken and knowone fixed it ;< | 18:54 |

| DigitalFiz | booted intrepid last night still doesnt support my capture card :( | 18:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks. :-) | 18:54 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: it does.. it redirects 80 to 3128.. which should prove that the redirect does work | 18:54 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: port 80 --> port 3128 --> internet | 18:54 |

| perlsyntax | How do i do raw socket programming in unbuntu? | 18:54 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: what is then? | 18:55 |
| Tim1_ | it has to join the windows network group before it can access the internet | 18:55 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 18:55 |
| Ali_ix | Tim1_: setup ICS on Windows machine and set it as default gateway for linux machine | 18:55 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: do an iptables -F and then do the same thing again | 18:55 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: if it works then you know it isnt iptables | 18:55 |
| Tim1_ | ali which windows machine........it is a peer to peer network | 18:56 |
| passive | Have anyone tried BearShare 6.2 on ubuntu ? | 18:56 |
| dr_willis | Tim1_, thats not related to 'samba' thats internet connection shareing (ICS) feature of windows, or use a proxy. | 18:56 |
| Tim1_ | dsl rounter is gateway to the interent | 18:56 |
| quaal | does anyone else know what controls the screen resolutions available in the screen resolution dialog box | 18:56 |
| Tim1_ | internet | 18:56 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: if dsl router is gateway, you dont need the Windoze machine in the middle | 18:56 |
| vikku | outbackwifi: :) yes it is | 18:56 |
| Ali_ix | Tim1_: is linux machine connectted to dsl router? | 18:56 |
| outbackwifi | vikku: wow | 18:57 |
| Tim1_ | dsl---------->network hub----------> win workstations: ali | 18:57 |
| vikku | outbackwifi: its a issue with NFS lock | 18:57 |
| Tim1_ | yes outback | 18:57 |
| vikku | outbackwifi: one of the process not releasing the lock | 18:57 |
| Tim1_ | dsl is connected to hub though | 18:57 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: why do you need to go thro windows machine | 18:57 |
| Ali_ix | Tim1_: where is the linux machine? if it is connected to hub, no need to mess with windows machine | 18:58 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: just specify the dsl router as the gateway in the linux machine and you're through | 18:58 |
| KillGut1 | I did .configure and make on a source... now what | 18:58 |
| Tim1_ | one dsl rounter supplying many connections to the win workstations through the network hub | 18:58 |
| KillGut1 | it doesn't show installed and stuff | 18:58 |
| Killer--Tux | error while trying to install libncurses5 | 18:58 |
| AgentScorpion | KillGut1: typically make all | 18:58 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: i did the iptables -F and have proxy in FF set to <squidip>:80 and its taking forever to try to load a site.. i tkink its gonna timeout | 18:58 |
| outbackwifi | vikku: and.. | 18:58 |
| Ali_ix | KillGut1: read the readme or INSTALL file | 18:58 |
| Tim1_ | ubunto is connected to the hub: ali | 18:58 |
| vikku | outbackwifi: it seems to be a kernel issue though, but still if we could find out the process comitting it and to kill it if possible | 18:58 |
| Ali_ix | KillGut1: you may need 'sudo make install' it! | 18:58 |
| Tim1_ | ubuntu is connected to the hub | 18:58 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: then its going through iptables :P | 18:59 |
| danopia | how would i convert from ogg to mp3 | 18:59 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: isnt that what i said? | 18:59 |
| outbackwifi | vikku: ps -fe | 18:59 |
| vikku | outbackwifi: the process doesnt show that way | 18:59 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: yes you did and now the next thing for you to find out is whether squid is accepting the connections | 18:59 |
| jim_p | what is the krita equivalent in gnome? | 18:59 |
| bobertdos | danbh_intrepid: Have you done the things in that blog? In particular, did you ever try to configure that alsaconf file? | 19:00 |
| KillGut1 | is there ANY linxu virus? :D | 19:00 |
| Tim1_ | if i am directly connected to the dsl router i usually run ...sudo pppoeconf ....it works fine | 19:00 |
| tharmor | anyone know if it's possible to run 2 X sessions with 3 monitors? | 19:00 |
| KillGut1 | or can get hacked by getting the root password? | 19:00 |
| danopia | KillGut1, there have been 2 or 3 | 19:00 |
| tharmor | ie: twinview on the dual head card and another session off a single card. | 19:00 |
| FFEMTcJ | when iptables is intact.. if i manually put <squidip>:port in FF.. the access.log showed the sites that i go to. | 19:00 |
| perlsyntax | How do i program in root on unbuntu? | 19:00 |
| Tim1_ | do i just plug into the nework hub...... | 19:00 |
| FFEMTcJ | outbackwifi: so i'd say it is accepting connections | 19:00 |
| outbackwifi | Tim1_: then the router isnt configured as such it is configured as a transparent bridge | 19:00 |
| vikku | outbackwifi: its basiclally a situation that porcess died for whatsoever reason (like NFS Client crash) but didnt release the lock | 19:00 |
| perlsyntax | like in raw sockets programming? | 19:00 |
| Ali_ix | Tim1_: just setup static ip address on ubuntu and enter dsl-router's ip as default GW (if it is not providing DHCP for automatic ip assing) | 19:00 |
| outbackwifi | FFEMTcJ: did you enable transparent proxy in squid? | 19:01 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 19:01 |
| Tim1_ | router is setup for dhcp..... | 19:01 |
| KillGut1 | I just did sudo make all and NOTHING | 19:01 |

| homy | EvilDaemon: can you tell me which dependencies I need to download from packages.ubuntu.org and which are already installed by default (compiz-config-settings-manager | 19:36 |
| Flannel | amanulla: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:36 |
| maniheer | samueldskbr, looks like a broken system | 19:36 |
| Ali_ix | amanulla: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade do the same thing as GUI do | 19:36 |
| techsupport | how can i know what the NETBIOS name is ? | 19:36 |
| Flannel | amanulla: just the update won't do it. | 19:36 |
| pacyang | tinker > i don't think that this problem is relative with the change of ethernet card. it's strange | 19:36 |
| Kajover | hey.. short question.. will the new dusttheme come with ubuntu 8.10 (or is it already in use in the current beta). And where can I get this wallpaper? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/DustTheme?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=dust-0917-screenshot.jpg | 19:36 |
| paul68 | ali if you prefer png let me know ok | 19:36 |
| samueldskbr | How can I fix a broken system Maniheer ? Ant ideia ? | 19:37 |
| Geoffrey2 | hardcore, it's a good bet you'd need to modify the xbox, which would both terminate any warranty on the product, and probably bar you from using any of it's online services.... | 19:37 |
| EvilDaemon | homy: Try looking around in here. http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 19:37 |
| amanulla | whats difference between update and upgrade? | 19:37 |
| Ali_ix | techsupport: old stuff, it might be usally hostname (afaik) | 19:37 |
| maniheer | samueldskbr, try sudo apt-get remove firefox-gnome-support | 19:37 |
| homy | EvilDaemon: yeah, but I don't know which packages are included by default. | 19:37 |
| Jay | i cant watch youtube videos, ive installed everything :( | 19:37 |
| Flannel | amanulla: update gets the new package lists (so you know whats available), upgrade and dist-upgrade actually download/install the stuff | 19:38 |
| danbh_intrepid | Jay whats the problem exactly? | 19:38 |
| astro | can anyone tell me how to recompile my kernal from x84 to x64 in hardy? | 19:38 |
| EvilDaemon | amanulla: Update does lists, upgrade for packages | 19:38 |
| paul68 | "Ali_ix" do you prefer png instead of openoffice? | 19:38 |
| tinker | Okay, I am giving up for today. Fixed a handful of problems, I am fried. | 19:38 |
| Irishmanluke | a line from my root crontab: 0 11 * * * init 0 | 19:38 |
| amanulla | using linux terminal can i completely format hard disk even with mbr(boot loader)? | 19:38 |
| samueldskbr | Amanulle Update means going to the date version, and Grade going to the newr version, if by any means the actual date version is a down version, an update would downversion,, a upgrade would always change toa new version, (new grade) | 19:38 |
| tinker | Thanks anyway | 19:38 |
| Irishmanluke | why wont't it run? | 19:38 |

| Ali_ix | paul68: ok, read teh line about ful backup carefully, it says take full backup *atleast* once X days | 19:39 |
| c_korn | hello | 19:39 |
| w_nicram | Jay: 32 or 64bit/ | 19:39 |
| EvilDaemon | Jay: Sun Java 6, and Flash Plugin for mozilla? | 19:39 |
| Kajover | no idea guys? | 19:39 |
| DefunctProcess | is there a way to tile windows on the dekstop? | 19:39 |
| Ali_ix | paul68: so it is taking incremental backups in 6 days and a full backup in 7th day | 19:39 |
| homy | EvilDaemon: ok, so "compizconfig-settings-manager" isn't installed by default. | 19:39 |
| maniheer | samueldskbr, so wat happened? | 19:39 |
| c_korn | I have the problem that my /etc/rc.local is not run at startup | 19:39 |
| homy | Are it's dependencies? | 19:39 |
| outbackwifi | c_korn: how do you know that? | 19:40 |
| EvilDaemon | homy: nope, you need the package. | 19:40 |
| paul68 | ali ok I understand | 19:40 |
| samueldskbr | Manihher I tryed but I got the same freaking error >> `firefox-gnome-support' is missing final newline | 19:40 |

| danbh_intrepid | samueldskbr: can you pastebin the whole error message? | 19:40 |
| homy | EvilDaemon: but do I also need its dependencies? | 19:40 |
| Irishmanluke | the line from my root crontab? 0 11 * * * init 0 | 19:40 |
| danbh_intrepid | Jay: paste uname -a | 19:40 |
| paul68 | thanks for clearing this out, is there a nice cheat list for the terminal which is quit complete? | 19:40 |
| astro | does the alternate install cd include both x84 and x64? | 19:40 |

| hanoi | hi :-D | 19:41 |
| w_nicram | Jay: see if you have Shockwave Flash.... and what version if found | 19:41 |
| Flannel | Irishmanluke: What are you trying to accomplish? | 19:41 |
| EvilDaemon | homy: just get the main package you need. If it wants more, then get it whatever it wants. Pretty much,baby it. | 19:41 |
| w_nicram | hanoi: HI | 19:41 |
| maniheer | samueldskbr, u dont have something called lifearea installed, do you? | 19:41 |

| hanoi | i need help to download the photo shop | 19:41 |
| maniheer | ^^ | 19:42 |
| DefunctProcess | is there a way to tile windows on the desktop? | 19:42 |
| Ali_ix | paul68: you can set the time to daily and full backup times to "1" so it will take a full backup every day (i hope) | 19:42 |
| homy | EvilDaemon: the problem is, I don't have Internet on my ubuntu machine, so I have to download them from windows and then copy them on a usb stick. | 19:42 |
| Jay | doing... wait a sec | 19:42 |
| outbackwifi | c_korn: that might be getting overridden by gnome | 19:42 |
| Irishmanluke | Flannel: the end goal is setting up my sister's machine to turn of at 23:00 everyday | 19:42 |
| FaUcHeUrR | WaaW | 19:42 |
| FaUcHeUrR | Xd | 19:42 |
| Flannel | amanulla: Sure. No ones going to force you to upgrade. It might not always be the best idea. | 19:42 |
| hanoi | how i can download the photo shop | 19:42 |
| EvilDaemon | amanulla: Cancel it? In the terminal it's Controll+C | 19:42 |
| Ali_ix | amanulla: it is better not to if it is in midle of installing poackages | 19:42 |

| Ali_ix | amanulla: did you run dist-upgrad eor just upgrade? | 19:43 |
| bobrock | what is easir then bind | 19:43 |
| danbh_intrepid | Jay: try undoing everything you did | 19:43 |
| maniheer | Irishmanluke, i hate wine, u can tell him | 19:43 |
| Jay | ive already done that man... | 19:43 |
| maniheer | !wine | hanoi | 19:43 |
| ubottu | hanoi: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 19:43 |
| EvilDaemon | homy: so your sneakernetting it? Oh boy, your in for work. :p Yeah, downoad the compizwhatever.DEB and copy it. Google the dependancies, and find out if it NEEDS it or not. | 19:43 |
| Flannel | Irishmanluke: don't use init, use shutdown. /usr/sbin/shutdown -h now (or whatever time offset you wanted to give) | 19:44 |
| c_korn | outbackwifi: but it did not do that before. I run a apt-get purge -y libasound2 by accident and it already started to purge something. I pressed ctrl+c immediately, but I think some packages are gone. since then I have this issue | 19:44 |
| bobrock | any bind issues | 19:44 |
| yowshi | anyone know an arcxhives list online or something to that effect of decent open source software that works on both linux and windows? | 19:44 |

| homy | EvilDaemon: so it is really complicated? | 19:44 |
| danbh_intrepid | Jay: and then I'll give you a better way to setup flash | 19:44 |
| Irishmanluke | Flannel: I've tried shutdown also but without the full path | 19:44 |
| Ali_ix | amanulla: you can FREEZE the upgrade proccess in terminal by pressing ctrl+z | 19:44 |
| yowshi | looking to intro a friend to the world of linux and open source | 19:44 |
| Jay | so | 19:44 |
| amanulla | Ali_ix:just sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:44 |

| Flannel | samueldskbr: use w3m, it's installed. | 19:45 |
| jlong | what's the path for vlcplayer? | 19:45 |
| paul68 | Ali another question is there to your knowledge a good cheat sheet for the terminal? | 19:45 |

| maniheer | samueldskbr, sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ /var/lib/dpkg/info_moved | 19:47 |
| Ali_ix | f|uke: you can try firestarter | 19:47 |

| ubottu | f|uke: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 19:47 |
| maniheer | mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | 19:47 |
| IntuitiveNipple | AL|EN: use apt-get with the --reinstall option and pin the package versions you want to reinstall (the ubuntu repo versions) using the form <package-name>=version-string (which you can find on packages.ubuntu.com) | 19:47 |
| jacronis1232 | samueldskbr: w3m is a text based webrowser it has no gui you just launch it from a terminal by typing w3m websitehere | 19:47 |

| amanulla | Flannel:but why cant i install xp? | 19:48 |
| amanulla | Flannel:i installed ubuntu on the same system | 19:48 |
| EvilDaemon | homy: Ah. Well, here's an example. ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mail/archivemail ) It shows you the packages it depends on. Go get them, and download them too. Except not those, ou need to find the page for 'compiz settings manager' or whatever your are trying to locate. It's going to take a bit of work, mostly just waiting for the packages to download. | 19:48 |
| amanulla | install inthe sense cant load | 19:48 |
| amanulla | i mean | 19:48 |
| Flannel | amanulla: I have no idea. Try again. It's a problem with your XP disk, or your system and the XP disk, or whatever. Nothing to do with Ubuntu. | 19:49 |
| Ali_ix | !dualboot | amanulla | 19:49 |

| w_nicram | Jay: install flashplugin-nonfree, then go to adobe.com and download flash 9 | 19:50 |

| Jay | yes | 19:51 |
| homy | EvilDaemon: is there a windows program that allows me to downlao all that without clicking on every link manually | 19:51 |
| EvilDaemon | f|uke: Ubottu is a bot, not an actual person. | 19:51 |

| Jay | so ill uninstall everything | 19:51 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homy: EvilDaemon: to determine the dependencies it's easier to do "apt-cache depends <package> | 19:51 |
| maniheer | samueldskbr, well | 19:51 |
| Jay | wait a sec | 19:51 |
| w_nicram | Jay: apt-get installs flash 10 which a lot of web sites do not recognize yet | 19:51 |
| Ali_ix | aktas: highly depends on your modem, google you modem model with ubuntu keyword | 19:51 |
| samueldskbr | Manihher remove firefox-gnome,, gives me that same error;;;.... "missing newline" ,,, | 19:51 |

| homy | How can I install compizconfigsettingsmanager on ubuntu like that? | 19:52 |
| EvilDaemon | homy.... no. You better listen to IntuitiveNipple, I didn't even know of that command. He'll probably explain it better than I will. | 19:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homy: Could you run Ubuntu in a VM on Windows? | 19:52 |
| aktas | i used pppoe on pardus distro | 19:52 |
| homy | IntuitiveNipple: not really | 19:52 |

| aktas | but i cant use it on ubnuntu | 19:52 |
| w_nicram | Jay: it's easier to communicate if you prefix you message with the nick of the person you want to msg | 19:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homy: How about booting to the Live CD? | 19:52 |
| w_nicram | Jay: on a busy channel your message can get easily get lost | 19:53 |
| homy | IntuitiveNipple: yes. But I don't want compizconfig-settings manager installed on live cd, but on my ubuntu pc | 19:53 |
| aktas | Ali_ix: i have eagle-chipset usb modem and i used pppoe on other distros | 19:53 |
| maek | is there somewhere I can install ndis from pkgs? | 19:53 |
| Ali_ix | aktas: if you used it with another linxu distro before, there is a good chance that it would work under ubuntu too. | 19:53 |

| Vinconzo | hi | 19:54 |
| homy | IntuitiveNipple: is there some windows program like "download all .deb needed to install package xy"? Then I could copy them on a usb drive and to ubuntu pc | 19:54 |
| EvilDaemon | IntuitiveNipple: His computer doesn't have internet, he's sneakernetting it on a usb. | 19:54 |
| aktas | but i must use nas0 | 19:54 |
| w_nicram | Jay: start typing the nick of the person you intend to msg and press Tab it will autocomplete the nick for you | 19:54 |
| amenado | homy why dont you have an internet access on your linux box? | 19:54 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homy: If you had Ubuntu running you can also download all the required packages without installing them using "apt-get --download-only install <package>" | 19:54 |
| EvilDaemon | Vincozo: Hey, need something? | 19:54 |
| Jay | <w_nicram> lol | 19:54 |

| w_nicram | Jay: and easy to see you msg | 19:54 |
| homy | amendo: there is no network connection in the room of that pc, and also no wlan. | 19:54 |

| IntuitiveNipple | homy: On the Ubuntu PC, can you run this command to see what it *thinks* it needs? "sudo apt-get -d --reinstall install compizconfig-settings-manager" - this will tell you precisely which packages it needs to fetch, as opposed to what it has | 20:00 |
| samueldskbr | try in recover mode prompt | 20:00 |

| homy | IntuitiveNipple: and then I have to download those package .deb? ok. | 20:02 |
| amenado | pslboy_kadeem-> nope, put the entry into your /etc/network/interfaces file | 20:02 |
| elexodus | amenado: sdb - | 20:02 |
| elexodus | This doesn't look like a partition table | 20:02 |
| elexodus | Probably you selected the wrong device. | 20:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homy: yes | 20:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | homy: I think you will only need CCSM and python-compizconfig | 20:03 |
| amenado | elexodus-> come again? what was the exact command you typed? | 20:03 |
| pslboy_kadeem | amenado im sorry im a usual windows user, ubuntu is new. how do i do the entry thing | 20:03 |

| amenado | elexodus-> you sure you have your floppy connected to the right connector and controller? | 20:07 |

| elexodus | amenado: yes | 20:08 |
| Irishmanluke | and it didn't work | 20:08 |
| nichlas | sneex: actually, i would not be reinstalling multible times if it worked.. windows usually figure out the mbr when doing a clean install, but it seems like ubuntu does not. | 20:08 |
| IntuitiveNipple | danopia: That looks like you're unplugged a flash memory device without unmounting/ejecting it via software first. Also, you've possibly got some program that has its current directory set to the flash device. | 20:08 |
| amenado | elexodus-> then you may not have the correct driver for it, why use a usb floppy drive? | 20:08 |
| rene_ | irc://irc.freenode.net/transmission | 20:08 |

| amenado | elexodus-> thats not a correct command, mount /dev/sdbX /mountpoint | 20:09 |
| sneex | nichlas: during the installation you can hit the commandline and just use fdisk -- that will smoke the mbr too | 20:09 |
| IntuitiveNipple | GT: something is attempting to access one of the devices attached to the ATA disk interface after it has been removed, it looks like | 20:09 |

| electronbender | so how could this be happening if there is no rollback feature | 20:24 |
| bavardage | electronbender: ext2undelete | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | electronbender: why dont you have a backup? is your data not imortant? | 20:24 |
| maek | in ndiswrapper how do I make it survive a reboot? I did ndiswrapper -l and ndiswrapper -m after I installed my driver but when I reboot iwconfig shows nothing. | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dave__: get nspluginwrapper and flashplugin-nonfree | 20:25 |
| bavardage | electronbender: http://fedora.linuxsir.org/doc/ext2undelete/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html | 20:25 |

| bobertdos | dave__: How did you go about installing the plugin the first time? | 20:25 |
| Joe_CoT | So I accidentally deleted my fstab (don't use > when you mean >>). Does this look about right? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d240944eb | 20:25 |
| nichlas | sneex: yes, it has two disks. One for system, with no important data right now, and another with data that should survive. The data disk has a single partition. | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Ali_ix: i just dont get why people dont have backups straight off the bat, its mind boggling to me | 20:25 |
| Ali_ix | ActionParsnip: me too :} | 20:26 |
| eyong | what is the mater with u over there | 20:26 |
| IntuitiveNipple | electronbender: Unless the ext3 had the option to journal data (not just the default metadata) then I can't see how it could return to a previous state. | 20:26 |

| Geoffrey2 | when I start up Heron, I'm getting extremely large text on the login screen.... | 20:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: No, you must use the sudoedit because that ensures you don't mess up the sudoers file | 20:41 |
| phuzion | IntuitiveNipple and ActionParsnip, do you invoke safemode with --safemode, or something else? | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Luminerd__: ive not used that. Id check your software as it is clearly not backing up the boot sector which is why your BIOS cannot find an operating system | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | Luminerd__: well to that kind of job a clone of the entire hard drive (not of ne partition) is the best option | 20:41 |
| bobertdos | paal: What plugins do you have installed? Type about:plugins into firefox to find out. | 20:41 |
| sugi | IntuitiveNipple: i can't find the nopoasswd grrr | 20:41 |

| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: "man sudoers" then press / (to search) then NOPASSWD and press Enter | 20:42 |
| sugi | LjLi only want to do a nopasswd for one bash file needed to run a game is that possibel | 20:42 |
| ShinobiTeno | GodfatherofEir1, whats your problem with Amarok? | 20:42 |
| bodeli | Geoffrey2: Do you mean your graphical login screen, or your terminal screen? | 20:42 |

| LjL | sugi: yes | 20:42 |
| soundray | jeeves__: at least then you know they are being recognized and a driver loaded. | 20:42 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: Press / to do "find next" | 20:42 |

| inad922 | Anyone knows the package name for pygtkmozembed? | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Luminerd__: check the config so the boot sector is archived | 20:43 |
| IntuitiveNipple | sugi: In which case you probably shouldn't be doing it :) | 20:43 |

| ActionParsnip | DEdwards: sorry then man i gots no idea, you could log it as a bug | 20:44 |
| erUSUL | Luminerd__: i can not talk about other's advice... if you want a bootable hard disk linux clone you need not only the partition containing linux but the mbr with grub installed and swap at least so a clone of all the disk is a better option | 20:44 |
| sugi | IntuitiveNipple: i thought it was informational | 20:44 |
| mikebot | Does anyone know how to extract the audio from a .flv? | 20:44 |
| ShinobiTeno | GodfatherofEir1: do an offline filesystem check and retransfer... | 20:44 |
| inad922 | I cant find it with apt-cache search so I dont think that works ActionParsnip | 20:44 |
| sugi | LjL: would you explain how i would go about doing this? | 20:44 |
| bodeli | Geoffrey2: Okay, I was having trouble with the my tty's having a huge font when I went to them. Is it only on the login screen that the font is big? | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mikebot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=500351 | 20:44 |

| declan | bobertdos, I did that. Now for bluej I have to give it the dir where jdk is...where would that be? | 20:44 |

| ActionParsnip | Colin21: you can upgrade but you must move up a release at a time | 20:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Colin21: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion | 20:45 |
| soundray | Colin21: try a boot option | 20:46 |
| ShinobiTeno | do a "mount -l" to find out on what disk that file was. If it was not rootfilesystem, do "sudo umount /dev/yourdevice" and "sudo fsck -f -C -v /dev/yourdevice" | 20:46 |

| Luminerd__ | Erusul dude I already have like 8 hours into setting this up for partimage!! As per the repeated rexomendation of this room! | 20:46 |
| bodeli | Geoffrey2: So, just your username and (hidden) password are in a large font when you type? And it bothers you? | 20:46 |
| erUSUL | Colin21: 5.04 --> 5.10 --> 6.06 (LTS) --> 8.04 (LTS) | 20:46 |
| bobertdos | declan: It depends on how deep you need to point, but it starts in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Colin21: id reinstall with hardy (or wait a few weeks for intrepid) then restore user data from backup | 20:46 |
| cilkay | erUSUL, luminerd I didn't catch the beginning of the conversation. What about Clonezilla? I have some recent experience with it. | 20:46 |
| soundray | Colin21: noapic and nolapic are the ones you should try first | 20:46 |
| LjL | sugi: username ALL = NOPASSWD: commandname | 20:46 |
| Colin21 | You suggest me to upgrade to 6.06 then to 8.04? | 20:46 |
| soundray | Colin21: no | 20:46 |
| erUSUL | cilkay: Luminerd__ that's what i'm recomending | 20:46 |
| cilkay | For what? | 20:47 |
| soundray | Colin21: you cannot upgrade 5.04 to 6.06 | 20:47 |
| AL|EN | hello ,newbie help please: I messed up my ubuntu 8 with pango cairo atk gtk while trying to install the latest versions of these, now I have all squares instead readable text everywhere , apt-get --reinstall <package>=<version> doesnt work | 20:47 |
| LjL | Colin21: you're using *hoary*? | 20:47 |
| Colin21 | What is hoary? | 20:47 |
| mikebot | ActionParsnip: Thanks. | 20:47 |
| LjL | !5.04 | Colin21 | 20:47 |
| ubottu | Colin21: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) was the second release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 31, 2006. See !eol for more details. | 20:47 |
| erUSUL | Colin21: but i'm not sure if 5.10 repositories are still up and running | 20:47 |
| bobertdos | Paal: I would recommend purging that and using flashplugin-nonfree with libflashsupport instead. You could also try flash 10 RC2. | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | AL|EN: so cairodock is faulty? | 20:47 |
| erUSUL | !5.10 | 20:47 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol for more details. | 20:47 |
| LjL | erUSUL: no they aren't, you need old-releases.ubuntu.com | 20:47 |
| Colin21 | Ok. Hmmm, my question is not concerning 5.04 but 8.04 | 20:47 |
| Colin21 | I tried to install it. | 20:48 |
| AL|EN | ActionParsnip: even login screen | 20:48 |

| soundray | Colin21: did you get the factoid? | 20:48 |
| Colin21 | But I'm stuck at the first screen. | 20:48 |
| erUSUL | LjL: so 5.04 --> 5.10 --> 6.06 (LTS) --> 8.04 (LTS) is no go?? | 20:48 |

| LjL | erUSUL: not sure, perhaps the updater is smart enough to know it might have to look in old-releases (they could have pushed an update to that effect before moving the repositories), or there is always - cough - the dist-ugprade route. if i were him, though, i'd just install from scratch, wouldn't i | 20:49 |

| erUSUL | LjL: yep | 20:49 |
| bobertdos | Paal: No, because it's still in development, so it's in Adobe's labs. First though, purge all gnash and any other flash packages you may have. | 20:49 |
| cilkay | erUSUL, luminerd: If you're trying to do an auto installation, I've been working on the same thing recently. Clonezilla and FAI are the usual methods that you'll find but I don't like either. Preseeding is the "official" Debian/Ubuntu way and it works quite well. I have only a couple of things I need to address with it before I can declare victory. | 20:49 |

| nickz327 | how can i completely nuke wine? | 20:52 |
| bobertdos | Paal: Well, then stick with flashplugin-nonfree. Just get rid of gnash first. | 20:52 |
| Flannel | nickz327: What do you mean by detected old programs/ | 20:52 |
| nickz327 | as if it never was installed? | 20:52 |
| Olwe | usser: how do i use it? | 20:52 |
| nickz327 | old stuff i had installed | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | nickz327: define "nuke" | 20:52 |

(For me, I go to Applications -> Settings -> Login Window) From there I can pick different themes for the window. | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Luminerd__: maybe it just needed to scan the bus | 20:56 |

| cilkay | Luminerd__: I didn't see that. Hard to follow conversations with all the noise. There really ought to be a newbie channel so we can filter out the "Where is my email folder?" types of questions. I wasted a lot of time fiddling with Clonezilla and FAI. Both require more time to understand than I cared to commit, especially since preseeding is the official Debian/Ubuntu way of doing scripted installations. | 21:00 |

| Chris_Foster | Hi, Im trying to create an encrypted partition to install ubuntu on, coudl someone point out a tutorial for me, please? | 21:04 |
| Luminerd__ | Usser I can see /boot/grub but now that I'm looking I am not seeing my user accounts!!! Arrgh! | 21:04 |
| marlboro | sorry | 21:04 |
| Queen_Of_Spades | Nobody for help me ? | 21:04 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ActionParsnip...the odd thing is, there is only 1 Thunderbird folder but 3 users, two of which do not have it | 21:04 |
| RickZilla | Ok...4 hours of troubleshooting, and still no headway on my Creative Soundblaster issues...going to yank one out of another machine and see if I can get it to work on here | 21:04 |
| usser | Luminerd__, no i mean when you boot the cloned machines, and get no OS message. do you get grub prompt? | 21:05 |
| neeto | I am trying to set up a DHCP server on my computer, but I cannot get it to recognize the WORKING ethernet device that I want it to listen on. WTF? | 21:05 |
| RickZilla | First of all...how do I remove a file from a protected folder via the terminal? | 21:05 |
| Luminerd__ | Cilkay reference system? I just have several pcs, most with no PS, and no Internet | 21:05 |
| marlboro | i need one server in spanish or some chanel in spanish | 21:05 |
| soundray | Queen_Of_Spades: you haven't asked a question yet | 21:05 |
| soundray | !es | marlboro | 21:05 |
| ubottu | marlboro: 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. | 21:05 |
| Paal | I read on the internett that steam could come to linux, is that true? if that, when could it come? (lol, my english :D ) | 21:05 |
| bodeli | RickZilla: What do you mean by "protected folder"? | 21:05 |
| yme | soundray, the result can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53974 | 21:05 |
| marlboro | thankz | 21:05 |
| guntbert | Queen_Of_Spades: dis you ask a question? what is your problem? | 21:05 |
| corelist | Paal: what is steam? | 21:05 |
| marlboro | my english is so bad | 21:05 |
| marlboro | thankz | 21:06 |
| RickZilla | Well, it's in the etc folder, and I need to remove it | 21:06 |
| sia-eXtrem1 | what is steam ? :P | 21:06 |
| dimebar | corelist: steam is Valve's game distribution platform | 21:06 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: No reference system, no big deal. If you can install one system via preseeding, you can install 1000. The whole point is repeatability. | 21:06 |
| bobertdos | Paal: Probably only through Wine. | 21:06 |
| maek_ | steam is a game/content deliver system that valve uses for things like counter strike half life, etc etc | 21:06 |
| DigitalFiz | Paal, yes steam runs through wine | 21:06 |
| soundray | yme: what is the question? | 21:06 |
| BulleT- | I've install a fresh Ubuntu Server on a Vbox and it gives me the following error on booting: This kernel requires the following features not present on your CPU: 0:6 | 21:06 |
| wx9j | corelist: it says that that extension will not work with the latest version of firefox | 21:06 |
| RickZilla | I can't just point and click and delete it | 21:06 |
| sia-eXtrem1 | oh thnks | 21:06 |
| Paal | corelist: a web site says mmore than 1000 words :P http://store.steampowered.com/ | 21:06 |
| corelist | wx9j: bad luck :/ | 21:06 |
| sia-eXtrem1 | it would be very good | 21:06 |
| dimebar | Paal: there are rumours that Valve hired someone to port HL2 to linux | 21:07 |
| yme | soundray, the question is why the client gets a permission denied if it appears that the authentication/authorization went well | 21:07 |
| Luminerd__ | Cilkay unfortunately I currently can't even goodle preseeding without dcing from Orc | 21:07 |
| Queen_Of_Spades | I want to now how I can be 'unban" to the #Ubuntu-fr chan --' I forget to write /join front of my chan so i'm automatically ban | 21:07 |
| corelist | Paal: why do you need it? to play counter strike under ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| bodeli | RickZilla: I would first advise you to be sure you need to delet ethat file. | 21:07 |
| Luminerd__ | Irc even | 21:07 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: One tip that will save you hours, use the example-preseed.txt from the Ubuntu site as a starting point. | 21:07 |
| RickZilla | What is the correct syntax to remove a file from a given folder from within the terminal? | 21:07 |
| DigitalFiz | dimebar, that would be insanely awesome the hl series are my fav :P | 21:07 |
| RickZilla | bodeli: I do, I put it there in the first place | 21:07 |
| Flannel | RickZilla: rm /path/to/file | 21:07 |
| Queen_Of_Spades | It's really stupid | 21:07 |
| RickZilla | Flannel, thanks | 21:07 |
| node357 | Paal, if you're going to play source engine games use -dxlevel 80 | 21:07 |
| corelist | dimebar: cs1.6 works fine with wine | 21:07 |
| bodeli | RickZilla: You will probably need to sudo that, though. | 21:07 |
| Earthpig | LjL: pm :) | 21:07 |
| dimebar | DigitalFiz: yeah, I could finally dump my XP partition | 21:07 |
| soundray | yme: the authorization did not go well | 21:07 |
| f|uke | Does source run on wine ok? | 21:07 |
| Guinnesss | RickZilla: sudo rm <file> | 21:07 |
| RickZilla | bodeli: thanks | 21:07 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: I'll get you a URL. Give me a few minutes. I have to move to another machine. | 21:07 |
| bodeli | RickZilla: Since it's in /etc | 21:08 |
| node357 | f|uke, it runs okay but not great | 21:08 |
| Guinnesss | RickZilla: Be sure before deleting... | 21:08 |
| yme | soundray, do you know where I could look for the reason? | 21:08 |
| dimebar | corelist: it does buy my usb headset won't work with voice comms (wine can't find my mic) | 21:08 |
| corelist | node357: cool! should try it | 21:08 |
| DigitalFiz | dimebar, i been impatiently waiting for hl2 episode 3 hehe im going to get the beta from a friend when its released | 21:08 |
| bodeli | RickZilla: Right, be careful...once it's gone, it's gone. | 21:08 |
| guntbert | Queen_Of_Spades: just try /join #ubuntu-fr | 21:08 |
| Chris_Foster | Hi, Im trying to create an encrypted partition to install ubuntu on, coudl someone point out a tutorial for me, please? | 21:08 |
| Paal | There is sometime i play cs 1.6, may 1time in a week :P but on a other computer. | 21:08 |
| Paal | It had been fine if steam could run without wine on linux :P | 21:08 |
| Luminerd__ | Cilkay appreciate your help!! Is this going to be doable in a day for a guy who knows little about Linux | 21:08 |
| Flannel | Queen_Of_Spades: You'll have to discuss it in #ubuntu-irc | 21:08 |
| soundray | yme: you need to copy your public key to the server and append it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys there | 21:08 |
| Queen_Of_Spades | #You're ban from this channel | 21:08 |
| yme | soundray I did that | 21:09 |
| Chris_Foster | Hi, Im trying to create an encrypted partition to install ubuntu on, coudl someone point out a tutorial for me, please? | 21:09 |

| Paal | I'm banned? | 21:09 |
| KiNG_ | Queen_Of_Spades you're unbanned now | 21:09 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: Are you an experienced sysadmin on any other OS, say Windows? | 21:09 |
| Maahes | anyone know why I'm having trouble saving things in dosbox with c mounted as /home/me/games? | 21:09 |
| yme | soundray, in fact I can see that the last key is mtedone@jemoslaptop (which is the client I'm trying to connect to the server) | 21:09 |
| LjL | Queen_Of_Spades: or tu peut rejoindre #ubuntu-fr | 21:09 |
| bariga | can anyone help me with my disk problem ? | 21:09 |
| bobertdos | Paal: No, she was talking about herself. | 21:10 |
| Queen_Of_Spades | I try | 21:10 |
| corelist | Paal: no, but if you keep having offtopic around. you will :) | 21:10 |
| ryan_m16 | yay! | 21:10 |
| sia-eXtrem1 | i can't open launchpad.net it give me network timeout error ! what can i do ? | 21:10 |
| corelist | bariga: what is problem? | 21:10 |
| Queen_Of_Spades | It's okay | 21:11 |
| manb | where do i get thc hydra? | 21:11 |
| soundray | yme: what's the name of the public key you appended to authorized_keys? | 21:11 |
| Queen_Of_Spades | Thank you all | 21:11 |
| Luminerd__ | Cilkay no not really. I know basics though, I used to run slackware | 21:11 |
| soundray | yme: *filename | 21:11 |
| manb | any apt-sources? | 21:11 |
| corelist | sia-eXtrem1: run a traceroute to see if it is your isp routing issue or servers are down | 21:11 |
| bariga | my disk is recognized by fdisk -l but my fstab says he can't find /dev/sda1 (which is the drive) | 21:11 |
| sia-eXtrem1 | ok | 21:11 |
| yme | soundray, id_rsa.pub | 21:11 |
| bariga | i've also tried mount.ntfs-3g | 21:12 |
| Flannel | manb: What are you looking for? | 21:12 |
| corelist | bargia so either you should mount it manually or add it to fstab | 21:12 |
| bariga | UUID=323091143090E061 /backup ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 21:12 |
| yme | I did a cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys | 21:12 |
| soundray | yma: and you've copied this from the client's ~/.ssh directory? | 21:12 |
| bariga | # /dev/sda | 21:12 |
| bariga | i did :) | 21:12 |

| bobertdos | bariga: Did you include the 1 om /dev/sda1? | 21:13 |
| Flannel | knoppix: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 21:13 |
| bariga | om? | 21:13 |

| belkinhelp2_ | pulling my hair out....how do i find my email folder in hardy heron for thunderbird? | 21:13 |
| bariga | yes | 21:13 |
| bariga | i've just tried it without | 21:13 |
| manb | Flannel, i am searching a apt-source so i cant install hydra. | 21:13 |
| bariga | but originaly it stood there | 21:14 |
| soundray | belkinhelp2_: someone already replied to you. ~/.mozilla-thunderbird | 21:14 |
| Flannel | belkinhelp2_: It'd be in a dotfile. Also, I think in the thunderbird account settings, you can change it (which means you can look at where it is currently) | 21:14 |
| Flannel | manb: What is hydra? | 21:14 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray....its not there | 21:14 |
| soundray | belkinhelp2_: how did you check? | 21:14 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray....I have 3 users...only 1 of them has that folder location | 21:14 |
| belkinhelp2_ | nautilus | 21:14 |
| philsf | hello, a friend of mine is having the following problem with her dpkg: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/53976/ how can she force-remove the offending packages? | 21:15 |
| soundray | belkinhelp2_: nautilus doesn't show files and folders that begin with a . by default. | 21:15 |
| manb | Flannel, it is a bruteforce hacking program. | 21:15 |
| belkinhelp2_ | Flannel....ill take a look | 21:15 |
| manb | Flannel, i want to check, how long it takes to bruteforce my pw. | 21:15 |
| belkinhelp2_ | oh? | 21:15 |
| manb | Flannel, you know where i can get it? i am too silly to compile from source, so i need a apt-source address | 21:16 |
| soundray | belkinhelp2_: go to nautilus preferences and enable "Show Hidden" or similar | 21:16 |
| Luminerd__ | Thank you cilkay *sigh* I don't understand though, many many people told me partimage was perfect for this | 21:16 |
| Flannel | manb: Try john | 21:16 |

| belkinhelp2_ | soundray...."show hidden" didnt work | 21:17 |
| Luminerd__ | Cilkay around 20... Is preseeding over network or something? I only ever wanted to restore to one at a time | 21:17 |
| bariga | mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /backup | 21:17 |
| bariga | mount failed | 21:17 |
| bariga | so i tried umounting then it says | 21:17 |
| belkinhelp2_ | Soundray...i still can only see 1 of 3 where the thunderbird folder is supposed to be | 21:18 |
| bariga | umount: /backup mount disagrees with the fstab | 21:18 |
| soundray | yma: did you copy it from the client's ~/.ssh directory? | 21:18 |
| guntbert | !enter | bariga | 21:18 |
| ubottu | bariga: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:18 |
| skylar_ | knoppix once you have apt-get install'd the client it should run automatically on boot | 21:18 |

| Earthpig | LjL is my hero, +1 to him for helping me out with my dumbass question. that is all. | 21:18 |
| Luminerd__ | Cilkay Over network is wayyy too ambitious for this lowly newbie :( | 21:18 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: Preseeding in a nutshell, download that example-preseed.txt. Modify to suit. Put the modified file on a web or ftp server somewhere. To test, take an Alternate boot CD and pass the URL to the preseed file to the kernel (hit F6). | 21:18 |
| Killer--Tux | help installing kismet | 21:18 |
| skylar_ | gotta go | 21:18 |
| corelist | sia-eXtrem1: call your internet provider support | 21:18 |
| CelticLord | nuit!! | 21:18 |
| soundray | belkinhelp2_: perhaps you haven't run thunderbird when logged in as any of the other users. | 21:18 |
| aaron_ | What application would you recommend for business accounting? don't say gnu cash please | 21:18 |
| sia-eXtrem1 | i think that to | 21:19 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: It's not necessarily just over a network. You can use preseeding with any installation method, CD, USB key, network, whatever. | 21:19 |
| sia-eXtrem1 | i'm going to using proxy | 21:19 |
| sia-eXtrem1 | but it's so slooooow | 21:19 |
| r_a_j_e | !hardy bluetooth > me | 21:19 |
| soundray | aaron_: why should I say anything other than the truth, though? | 21:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy bluetooth | 21:19 |
| manb | Flannel, okay. can it bruteforce http-sites? my router is accessable via http://192.168.1.1 | 21:19 |

| bobertdos | belkinhelp2_: Active, but have they run Thunderbird?? | 21:20 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray....2 of 3 are used | 21:20 |
| === arooni_____ is now known as arooni | ||
| Euperia | aaron: I did see a review of Accounting programs on linux.com jsut a few nights ago. | 21:20 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: All preseeding is doing is providing answers to all the questions for which you'd normally be prompted during installation. I can get from bare metal to complete KDE desktop machine in under 10 minutes by answering one question during installation and that one question, I'm sure I can preseed away too. | 21:20 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray...yes, running thunderbird | 21:20 |
| perlsyntax | Does anyone know how to do raw socket programming in unbuntu? | 21:20 |
| danielson | Is there any way to dock the nickname list in xchat? | 21:20 |

| belkinhelp2_ | soundray....the odd thing is, the one i can see is in the "thunderbird" folder under "profiles" | 21:21 |
| perlsyntax | anyone? | 21:21 |
| bobertdos | f|uke: slightly foolish, yes | 21:21 |

| f|uke | garrr. Ok. i can wait a month. | 21:21 |

| techsupport | so how can i get a service to start at startup automatically | 21:21 |
| techsupport | ? | 21:21 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: All installing over a network is going to do instead of a CD is make the installation even more automatic. You can do 20 machines in under 30 minutes because you won't have to run around to each one individually. | 21:21 |
| soundray | techsupport: what's the name of the service? | 21:21 |
| corelist | !repeat | cilkay | 21:22 |

| sia-eXtrem1 | it solved with using a proxy | 21:22 |
| techsupport | soundray, well its a game server | 21:22 |
| yme | I installed cygwin on the client, and the generated key was undere cygwin, but not under the ssh folder used by ssh | 21:22 |
| cilkay | corelist: Huh? | 21:22 |

| hansin | [#ubuntu] | 21:22 |
| hansin | BTW, I am getting versed in Grub due to some of my install issues (I triple boot and like to try out different things). In the partion stage, at least on the text installer, I can choose if I want to set onto the start of that partions, so I would then be able to chainload that partion? Just not sure what setting that to 'yes' would do. Thanks. | 21:22 |
| yme | soundray, I installed cygwin on the client, and the generated key was undere cygwin, but not under the ssh folder used by ssh | 21:22 |
| Luminerd__ | Cilkay it is really sounding like this is going I be a lot more complicated | 21:22 |
| soundray | techsupport: did you install it as an Ubuntu package? | 21:22 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: You can add user accounts to the preseed file. | 21:22 |
| hansin | Sorry, what I just posted what the question... thanks. | 21:22 |
| techsupport | soundray, no | 21:22 |
| bill--22 | hi | 21:23 |
| soundray | techsupport: good to know | 21:23 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: Not really. There's a bunch of complexity to other schemes too. You just don't know them yet. :) | 21:23 |
| Luminerd__ | It will not take me less time if it takes me long time to figure out how to even use it | 21:23 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray....when i do a file search for "thunderbird" there is only one /home/user listed | 21:23 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray...what gives? | 21:23 |
| yme | soundray, so now I re-generated the key, copied it under ~/.ssh (on the client), copied and cat it to the server and everything works nicely | 21:23 |
| hansin | was the question... Just wondering what the 'set partion as bootable' flag does in the text installer. | 21:23 |
| soundray | yme: well done | 21:23 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray...i know its somewhere on my harddrive because i can read my saved mail | 21:24 |
| techsupport | soundray, i compiled it from a third party and have to use this command to start it sektor@ubuntu:~/q2server/q2sv$ ./r1q2ded +set game opentdm +exec server.cfg +map q2dm1 | 21:24 |
| bobertdos | trenton_: Well, do you have the mysql server, client (and probably a bunch of deve headers) installed? | 21:24 |
| corelist | yme: so that was a vulnerable key blacklist issue? | 21:24 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray....any suggestions on manually tracing the program back to the save location? | 21:24 |
| soundray | belkinhelp2_: are you trying to see another user's email folder? | 21:24 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray....im trying to see my own folder | 21:24 |
| cilkay | Luminerd__: So what "simple" method were you considering? | 21:24 |
| belkinhelp2_ | soundray...i can already see the other users folder...thats what is bothering me! | 21:24 |
| Chris_Foster | is it possible to install backtrack (sorry, cant get onto backtrack forums) on a encrypted partition made with truecrypt? | 21:24 |
| Chris_Foster | without emulation | 21:25 |
| bobertdos | belkinhelp2_: Perhaps the terminal would give you better perspective. Try ls -a | 21:25 |

| soundray | danielson: what do you mean by custom driver? | 21:32 |
| magnetron | ttwio, does the wine appdb mention that error? | 21:32 |

| soundray | bariga: what are you trying to do? | 21:42 |
| === chuzo is now known as ChuZein | ||

| soundray | bariga: please put your /etc/fstab on a pastebin | 21:43 |
| magnetron | ttwio, i suspect it's related to your combination of graphics card, graphics driver. the test on that page mentions a nvidia card. report any bugs you find to the Wine bugtracker. | 21:43 |

| ubottu | belkinhelp2_: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:45 |
| leslieviljoen | and although both CD and HDD devices have entries (sda is there), there is no by-uuid directory under /dev | 21:45 |
| magnetron | ttwio, yes, but you didn't use the same driver in windows and linux, did you? report any bugs to the wine project, as you got that version of wine from them, not from us. good luck. | 21:45 |
| soundray | bariga: yes, if you want me to have a look at it, I need the link | 21:45 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ah | 21:45 |
| belkinhelp2_ | thnks | 21:45 |
| leslieviljoen | any ideas? | 21:45 |

| soundray | bariga: it's a bit of a weird situation. According to your fstab, /dev/sda1 should be a swap partition. | 21:51 |

| seps1816 | o my bad i dont know what im doing on this irc stuff | 21:53 |
| soundray | bariga: you should normally use UUIDs to refer to partitions in fstab | 21:53 |
| Generic6552 | Oh, okay, I'll try that first. | 21:53 |
| paradizelost | hey all | 21:53 |
| csa3d | is there any way to restart X via the command line, and have it not bring you to the login screen again? | 21:53 |
| Generic6552 | It's nothing major, just little things that don't work. | 21:53 |
| paradizelost | i'm trying to set up VNC on the console X session | 21:53 |
| bariga | but i can't find the uuid of the 120 gb drive :) | 21:53 |
| magnetron | seps1816, the only feasible to find a proxy would be to pay for one. there are literally hundreds of services like that | 21:53 |
| paradizelost | but when i type a keystroke, it disconnects me | 21:53 |
| LjL | csa3d: no. there is a way to restart it, and there is a way to tell it to never give you the login screen; there isn't a way to do both in a row. | 21:53 |
| paradizelost | any ideas? | 21:54 |
| belkinhelp2_ | how can i change the file browser so show the file destination.....like an address bar? | 21:54 |
| corelist | csa3d: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 21:54 |
| soundray | bariga: that is strange... | 21:54 |
| bariga | it used to be what the fstab file now says | 21:54 |
| jpastore | LjL: thanks...once they're in XML what can edit them with? you know what let me look at the project....thanks! | 21:54 |

| csa3d | corelist: lemme give that a try.. brb | 21:54 |
| soundray | bariga: what kind of drive is it? Looks like it should be an internal hard disk... | 21:54 |
| LjL | jpastore: i'm afraid... manually, with a text editor | 21:54 |
| linny | magnetron: seps1816, but these proxys are often slow , and ones that do allow high bandwith are often expensive | 21:54 |
| bariga | i know in the beginning it totally worked than after 2 days i notice that the drive doesn't mount automaticly and now it's just hopeless | 21:54 |
| corelist | belkinhelp2_: press ctrl+l on nautilus | 21:54 |

| soundray | bariga: have you recently modified your drive arrangement? | 21:55 |
| bariga | and it's used internally so | 21:55 |

| d4de_ | Hey guys. I was fiddling around with themes and I seem to have broken gnome. While changing themes the screen froze. I restarted X with ctrl+alt+backspace and re-logged in. My startup sound plays but it just freezes and can't go any further. The same problem happens if I change the session to "Failsafe Gnome" and after reboot. Thankfully I had fluxbox installed which I'm using now but could really use some help fixing gnome | 22:29 |
| belkinhelp2_ | any suggestions? | 22:29 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: thats not a command line option | 22:30 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: thats a line from your fstab | 22:30 |
| belkinhelp2_ | DOH | 22:30 |
| belkinhelp2_ | man i must be tired | 22:30 |
| remoteCTRL | belkinhelp2_: that seems to be an entry from fstab not a commandline and there is a / to much infront of it | 22:30 |
| ikonia | d4de_: change the theme back to the default, and don't use failsafe gnome options after that | 22:31 |
| conical | where is the options button in screen resolutions | 22:32 |
| remoteCTRL | ikonia: errr how would he do that while its frozen? | 22:32 |
| conical | for the life of me, I don't see it | 22:32 |
| conical | and i'm trying to get my login screen scaled down | 22:32 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL: reboot | 22:32 |
| ryanakca | gray--: thanks | 22:32 |
| remoteCTRL | ikonia: he did that to the same effect | 22:33 |
| balrog | the pointing stick and kybd dont work on some boots on my hp 2710p. im using a bluetooth mouse and cellwriter. help? | 22:33 |
| d4de_ | ikonia, how do I change the theme if I can't get into gnome? | 22:33 |
| gray-- | no worries ryanakca | 22:33 |

| d4de_ | d4de_, nope - that's what I'm saying. I'm having to use fluxbox at the moment to write this | 22:33 |
| PucKid | hi everyone. I'm in great pains. Somehow i managed to remove my self from the 'sudoers' : puck is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.. How could i fix this ? | 22:33 |

| belkinhelp2_ | maybe i need two //...what do you think? | 22:34 |
| d4de_ | ikonia, nope - that's what I'm saying. I'm having to use fluxbox at the moment to write this | 22:34 |

| s1011000 | how do you get updated drivers in linux? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | s1011000: which drivers | 22:35 |
| ikonia | s1011000: you shouldn't need to | 22:35 |
| s1011000 | sound card | 22:35 |
| ikonia | s1011000: which sound card | 22:35 |
| s1011000 | sound is on asus kv8 motherboard | 22:35 |
| simNIX | PucKid, most hady would be to boot a live Linux cd and then mount / and do chroot /mountpoint /bin/bash --login | 22:35 |
| ikonia | s1011000: which sound card is that | 22:35 |
| s1011000 | capture is not working in sound recorder | 22:35 |
| ikonia | s1011000: why do you think you need to "update the drivers" | 22:36 |
| tritium | s1011000: did you check your mixer settings? | 22:36 |
| s1011000 | yeah i've turned up the volume control | 22:36 |
| belkinhelp2_ | i added a UUID= in front | 22:36 |
| s1011000 | and made sure capture was checked | 22:36 |
| belkinhelp2_ | same error | 22:36 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: your fstab is not valid | 22:36 |

| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...the line i pasted is not valid? | 22:37 |
| techsupport | ikonia, active directory | 22:37 |
| remoteCTRL | belkinhelp2_: what ikonia wants to say that is so messy that we don't even know what to start with | 22:37 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: no | 22:37 |
| simNIX | PucKid, chroot isnt manditory - vi /mountpoint/etc/sudoers should suffice | 22:37 |
| ikonia | techsupport: what sort of join do you want to do | 22:37 |
| lampliter | need help with finding a font server for ubuntu 8.0.4. Running Windows as virtual machine, need to run X11 server inside virtual machine, need font server to service that X11 server. Help? | 22:37 |

| danielson | Hmm. just created /mnt/iso folder, had to use sudo, how do I give my non-root login read/write access? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | cyrus__: rpc (part of nfs-server normally) is not running | 22:37 |
| belkinhelp2_ | remoteCTR...im just following this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 22:37 |
| tritium | simNIX: you should never need to edit /etc/sudoers directly. | 22:37 |
| ikonia | lampliter: thats not an ubuntu issue | 22:38 |
| simNIX | not if you removed yourself out like PucKid did ? | 22:38 |
| ikonia | lampliter: the font server would need to run in the gest, not the host | 22:38 |
| belkinhelp2_ | this is the instruction i am following from that link: Then edit your /etc/fstab file (you need root privileges) to add this line: | 22:38 |
| belkinhelp2_ | /servername/sharename /media/mountname cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 | 22:38 |
| techsupport | ikonia, become a member of a domain | 22:38 |
| danielson | What's the command to change permissions on a folder? | 22:38 |
| remoteCTRL | danielson: change permissions with chmod, see man chmod for details | 22:38 |
| danielson | thx | 22:38 |
| AJP | How can I install programs with Synaptic? | 22:38 |
| cyrus__ | ikonia - if I run rpcinfo -p it shows me that portmap is running | 22:38 |
| ikonia | techsupport: are you planning to act as a slave or anything | 22:38 |
| s1011000 | is it true that only root can own a NTFS drive? | 22:39 |
| martintux | ajp, just select the box with install | 22:39 |
| lampliter | yes it is because I can't find where ubuntu leaves its font server and ikonia, the font server can either go on a guest or a host. It typically resides near the X11 clients on the remote machine | 22:39 |
| martintux | then click apply | 22:39 |
| ikonia | s1011000: no | 22:39 |
| ikonia | cyrus__: so port mapper is running | 22:39 |
| s1011000 | ah good to here ikonia | 22:39 |
| AJP | I installed a program "KoolDock" but where can I find it and turn it on? | 22:39 |

| techsupport | that are part of a domain | 22:39 |
| cyrus__ | ikonia - ya. Now, since the ubuntu box is only the client all I installed was nfs-common and portmap | 22:39 |
| ikonia | techsupport: ok - so it's straight member | 22:40 |
| cyrus__ | ikonia - I didn't install nfs-kernel-server | 22:40 |
| ikonia | techsupport: have you read the docs on it ? | 22:40 |
| bobertdos | AJP: If there's not shortcut in the menus, use the terminal or run menu. | 22:40 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...can you take a look at this link to see what i am trying to do: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 22:40 |

| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...yes | 22:41 |

| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: uuid are for local disks only | 22:42 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...what do i use instead? | 22:42 |
| basti | is sqlite more resource friendly than mysql? | 22:42 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: /host/share | 22:42 |
| ikonia | basti: it's a flat file format | 22:42 |
| ikonia | basti: depends on it's use/load | 22:42 |
| techsupport | ikonia, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=938144 no replies so far | 22:42 |
| bobertdos | basti: In the context of Amarok, by chance? | 22:43 |
| basti | ikonia, using it with some random users and rtorrent | 22:43 |
| basti | no, with a football bet site an rtorrent | 22:43 |
| ikonia | basti: won't make a difference | 22:43 |
| basti | ok | 22:44 |
| ikonia | techsupport: first thing I'd do is drop the relm info , and just look at joining the domain | 22:44 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia.../host/share added before the fstab line? | 22:44 |
| RickZilla | I found a driver that's ~supposed~ to work for my Creative Soundblaster...how do I go about installing that in ubuntu? | 22:44 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia....like this..../host/share=nwo-0e7470b5056/shareddocs/ /media/mountname cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 | 22:44 |

| en1gma | sup all. | 22:44 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: what do you want to mount | 22:44 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...nwo is host and sharedocs is share | 22:44 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: tell me the name of the host | 22:44 |
| en1gma | i have a question about installing an older version of ubuntu...7.10 x86 from a running windows machine | 22:45 |
| en1gma | can i do it | 22:45 |
| en1gma | i want to install it to a seperate hdd that is ntfs | 22:45 |
| ikonia | techsupport: also looks like your first guess of your resolution is right, fill out your hostfile with host info if your not using dns | 22:45 |
| ikonia | en1gma: thats strongly not advised | 22:45 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia....nwo-0e7470b5056 is host, shareddocs is share | 22:45 |
| en1gma | hmm | 22:45 |

| techsupport | ikonia, lets go step by step, what do you mean by drop the realm info ? | 22:46 |
| belkinhelp2_ | but that doesnt work | 22:46 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: what does it say | 22:47 |
| ikonia | techsupport: look in your config options, you have a parameter called "relm" I wouldn't look at using relms at the moment | 22:47 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia....mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on nwo-0e7470b5056/shareddocs/, | 22:47 |
| belkinhelp2_ | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 22:47 |
| belkinhelp2_ | (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might | 22:47 |
| belkinhelp2_ | need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program) | 22:47 |

| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: first "sudo apt-get install smbfs smbclient" | 22:48 |

| martintux | ikonia, can u elaborate this? | 22:55 |
| getxsick | python 2.6 is going to be distribute with 8.10 ? | 22:55 |
| ikonia | martintux: xammp is not an ubuntu packaged producct, so it must have been installed outside of ubuntu's package manager and therefore support should be with the xammp community | 22:55 |
| ikonia | getxsick: join #ubuntu+1 | 22:55 |
| dysje | halp | 22:56 |

| martintux | it create new link ikonia | 22:59 |

| ikonia | martintux: man ln will give you more detail, put use ln -sf rather than ln -sf | 22:59 |
| martintux | ikonia, how could i list all the links i have? | 22:59 |
| dysje | kevin_: i have updated everything through wireless internet, i am using ndiswrapper with an older card, i know the drivers in ndiswrapper are good and the card is being detected, it just won't update essid, not even manually through iwconfig | 22:59 |

| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: what type of camera is it | 23:00 |
| d4de_ | Hey guys. I was fiddling around with themes and I seem to have broken gnome. While changing themes the screen froze. I restarted X with ctrl+alt+backspace and re-logged in. My startup sound plays but it just freezes and can't go any further. The same problem happens if I change the session to "Failsafe Gnome" and after reboot. I had fluxbox installed which I'm using now but could really use some help fixing gnome | 23:00 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...logitech pro 9000 | 23:00 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: should be supported, does lsusb show it ? | 23:00 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: if you unplug it, and do "tail -f /var/log/syslog" then plug it in, does that window change at all | 23:00 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...if you can get me working with this...i can keep Linux, othewise i have to downgrade to XP | 23:00 |
| danbh_intrepid | belkinhelp2_: I have a similar webcam | 23:00 |
| martintux | ikonia, and one more proble... how could i install webcam properly? is there any package which could at reconize webcam? | 23:01 |

| kevin_ | dysje, i c...well all i can tell you is keep asking or search forums-- i know that ubuntu doesn't have very good support for wireless | 23:01 |
| danbh_intrepid | ikonia: yes | 23:01 |
| ikonia | danbh_intrepid: then you should get support in #ubuntu+1 | 23:01 |
| hardcorelinux | d4de_, what does your $HOME/.xession-errors say about the broken gnome-session? | 23:01 |
| dysje | kevin_: seems to be a problem with most linux distributions | 23:01 |
| danbh_intrepid | ikonia: but intrepid is still quite buggy | 23:01 |
| martintux | i got my webcam working but too dark and blurry | 23:01 |
| ForsakenSoul | hey guys I wanted to ask what is the difference between installing ubuntu on a ext2 and an ext3 ? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | danbh_intrepid: I'm well aware of this, you'll find support and discussion for 8.10 users in #ubuntu+1 channel | 23:02 |
| ikonia | ForsakenSoul: later version of th file system | 23:02 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia....yes | 23:02 |
| ikonia | ForsakenSoul: ext3 is more supported | 23:02 |
| danbh_intrepid | ikonia: thanks mate : P If I have a question, I;ll make sure to post it there | 23:02 |
| luminer1 | How can I list hard drives in terminal? Can't remember what it was but it was option -l | 23:02 |
| DINK | all: If I am most concerned with preserving my hard drive data (from HD crashes, accedental deletes, partition table fails, etc) would it be better to set up my data in RAID mirroring or to use the drives to preform periodic backups? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: ok, so thats a start | 23:02 |

| SurfnKid | anyone here have experience with winxp/ubuntu reinstall (especially reinstall of XP) because i have a virus and i cant get it out of the system. but need to make sure the grub menu is up again | 23:02 |
| luminer1 | Ah, fdisk | 23:02 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: what tool do you want to use to actually use it | 23:02 |
| bobertdos | d4de_: from the ttyl terminal, you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop or gdm | 23:02 |
| ikonia | !grub > SurfnKid | 23:02 |

| energY | I need the KDE theme for gnome. | 23:05 |

| d4de_ | hardcorelinux - here's my .xsession-errors | 23:05 |
| energY | I want everything to look like KDE. | 23:05 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...i have the soundstorm sound card integrated into this motherboard by Nvidia....seems not to work with ALSA | 23:05 |
| energY | And I need a theme that makes natuillus look like Konqueror | 23:05 |
| d4de_ | hardcorelinux, http://paste.ubuntu.com/54023/ | 23:05 |

| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...k | 23:05 |
| DINK | all: If I am most concerned with preserving my hard drive data (from HD crashes, accedental deletes, partition table fails, etc) would it be better to set up my data in RAID mirroring or to use the drives to preform periodic backups? | 23:05 |
| MXIIA | remoteCTRL, metacity is already running, still mirrored | 23:06 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...going through the link...bbl | 23:06 |
| Pici | energY: We're not going to be able to help you that much further than pointing you to http://gnome-look.org | 23:06 |
| ikonia | DINK: software raid mirroring is excellent in ubuntu | 23:06 |
| bobertdos | d4de_: If not, I often recommend (a rather extreme solution) of deleting all the gdm preference folders in the home directory to force everything back to default. | 23:06 |
| ikonia | DINK: well, in linux in gerneal | 23:06 |
| remoteCTRL | MXIIA: what do you mean by mirrored? | 23:06 |
| MXIIA | the X max and mini are on the left | 23:06 |
| MXIIA | and the icon on the right | 23:07 |
| remoteCTRL | MXIIA: that would be a matter of the theme you picked i suppose.. | 23:07 |
| hardcorelinux | d4de_, this happened because you changed the "theme"? | 23:07 |
| MXIIA | I tried every theme, including Human, still mirrored | 23:07 |
| DINK | ikonia: but I'm having doubts about using RAID (because it's not going to prevent like partition table deaths or other things that mirroring will not prevent), thinking maybe I should just use dd every week or so | 23:08 |
| DINK | what do you think? | 23:08 |
| remoteCTRL | DINK: you can implement a cronjob and use rsync | 23:08 |
| ikonia | DINK: software raid mirroring will preserve partition tables too due to how you need to set it up | 23:08 |
| kane77 | after a while of not using mysql I need to try to install bugzilla. The problem is I don't remember the password for mysql :/ what can I do? | 23:09 |
| d4de_ | hardcorelinux - yeah, I'd right clicked desktop and gone to "change background" ... went to themes tab and was flicking through the options there. Was flicking back and forth when the whole screen froze. Which is when I restarted the x session. After that, no login with gnome | 23:09 |
| ikonia | kane77: read the mysql docs on reseting the root password and re-grant the password to correct users | 23:10 |
| smokeytheman | hi | 23:10 |
| smokeytheman | i have x64 architecture and cant install flash | 23:10 |
| ikonia | smokeytheman: install the package called "flashplugin-nonfree" and it will do it all for you | 23:10 |
| DINK | ikonia: I guess I'm thinking like let's just say I'm repartitioning the drive which has important data on it. I mess up the partition (delete something or set a setting wrong) and I loose access to my data. Rather than having to do a hard like archiving and recovery process (which RAID isn't going to prevent; because it's telling both good and 'backup' drive to do) if I have a nother drive that is independant that I just sync up every no | 23:10 |
| DINK | w and then, that would prevent that. | 23:10 |
| belkinhelp2_ | ikonia...have the software installed from the link you sent me. Here is where i got stuck: testuser@testuser-desktop:~$ ls /dev/video* | 23:11 |
| belkinhelp2_ | /dev/video0 /dev/video1 | 23:11 |

| badfish | what's the terminal prompt to open the users and settings dialogue? | 23:11 |
| d4de_ | hardcorelinux, I've run the command bobertdos gave me so I'm going to try restarting x now. If no joy I will log back in with fluxbox and report back. BRB | 23:11 |
| belkinhelp2_ | how many lines can i cut and paste without flooding? | 23:11 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: you hav no audio device | 23:11 |
| ikonia | belkinhelp2_: you need to start using the pastebin and stop flooding the channel please. | 23:11 |
| hardcorelinux | d4de_, to restore sanity can you rename ~/.gnome2 to something line ~/.gnome2.orig and try login again(do this outside of a gnome login) | 23:11 |
| martintux | ikonia, is there anyway i could create link using gui? | 23:11 |
| ikonia | !paste > belkinhelp2_ | 23:11 |

| ubottu | belkinhelp2_: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 23:15 |
| ikonia | DINK: your not quite grasping how raid works | 23:15 |
| d4de_ | hardcorelinux - mouse still moves | 23:15 |
| ikonia | DINK: if you mess up the partition table on a disk - it wont matter as it reads off the meta device, if you mess up a partition onthe meta device, it will break it, but you may be able to recover from an indiviaul disk in the meta array | 23:16 |
| remoteCTRL | DINK: gosh man raid prevents you from loosing data due to hard disk failure that's all. it does not oprevent you from emssing up your data through stupid actions, so if you want your data BACKED UP you need to copy them else where | 23:16 |
| DINK | ikonia: what remote ctrl said | 23:16 |
| d4de_ | kind of gutted because this is the first major problem I've had with ubuntu and it's over something as innocuous as changing the theme. Is there any console command to just restore defaults on theme etc? | 23:16 |
| bobertdos | smokeytheman: Can Konqueror list its plugins? I wouldn't know since I don't use K, but you might want to symlink to the plugin. | 23:17 |

| d4de_ | bobertdos - I missed that suggestion. hardcorelinux - could you please repeat what you said about renaming? | 23:26 |

| smokeytheman | bobertdos: i installed gnash which is messing everything up | 23:27 |

| d4de_ | hardcorelinux, OK - will try that now. Will come back and let you know how it goes | 23:27 |

| christina7863 | remoteCTRL, my keyboard layout is the same and I have not installed thai language support, do I need to install thai language support? | 23:33 |
| AJP | chr1s3one2: I'm not sure. How do I know that? | 23:33 |
| dysje | luminer1: because there's a switch on the usb drive that sets it to read only or it's not FAT formatted | 23:33 |

| unop | LeChacal, you should really speak to your network administrator about this - if they wanted you to be able to access the printer on that network, they would surely have setup a route to it | 23:55 |
| Killer--Tux | tysol sys>pref>screen reso | 23:55 |
