| Mecha25 | Azhi_dhaka: if you're worried about memory usage, use Xubuntu, it's very memory-light | 00:02 |
| ThexLeopard | one more question, is there a media player that supports the DirectShow codec? | 00:02 |
| Hanz | Anyone know how i could grep just for the size of a file? | 00:02 |

| Mecha25 | ThexLeopard: have you tried VLC? | 00:02 |
| deunnero | Can i get some help with trying to get 3d acceleration working -ati radeon xpress 200m -- i've tried editing the conf,org tried using envy to install it..... need help please.... glxgears gives me a segmentation error | 00:02 |
| ThexLeopard | im trying now | 00:02 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | and i can install it using Synaptic? | 00:02 |
| dr_willis | Hanz, depends on exaxtly what you mean by 'grep for the size' | 00:02 |
| Mecha25 | Azhi_Dhaka: yes, that or add/remove programs | 00:03 |
| kbrosnan | nnull: i recall improved orca support in fx 3 and recent orca builds | 00:03 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: good luck sir! that right there took me 3 weeks of solid tweaking to get right | 00:03 |
| compilerwriter2 | !aptfix | 00:03 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | deunnero, hmm. for my x200m i just use that restricted-drivers/hardware drivers tool and it set them right up. Guess yours is a litel different. bummerb. | 00:03 |
| deunnero | i used those... and hardware acceleration doesn't work for soome reason | 00:03 |
| Hanz | dr_willis, I'm trying to output the size of a file to use in an if statement in a bash script | 00:03 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: by any chance are you using a Dell Inspiron 1501? | 00:03 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | ok... other question (but not very Ubuntu-related): betwee VirtualBox and VMWare, which one runs better on Ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| deunnero | mecha: Nope i'm using a gateway mx6436 | 00:04 |
| Mecha25 | Azhi_Dhaka: I've heard VirtualBox, as it's open-source | 00:04 |
| kFj | how do i turn on/off services in ubuntu? e.g. what services goes on at startup. without using the "Administration -> Services" ? | 00:04 |
| kbrosnan | nnull: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Firefox#details | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | Hanz, You may want to check that advanced-bash-scripting guide.. it proberly has an example that does that. | 00:04 |
| nnull | kbrosnan¬ yea orca seems cool :D | 00:05 |
| genii | Azhi_Dahaka: For me vmware seems to run faster | 00:05 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: sorry then man, I know it is doable, I've done it... but boy is it tough | 00:05 |
| deunnero | mecha : could you give me some tips on stuff to try | 00:05 |
| Mecha25 | kFj: try System -> Preferences -> Services | 00:05 |
| comicinker | Hanz: http://wooledge.org:8000/BashFAQ | 00:05 |
| deunnero | mecha: all the 2d stuff works.. i have compiz fusion installed lol gotta have the wobbly windows | 00:05 |
| deunnero | lol | 00:05 |
| Mecha25 | Deunnero: try adding a line to your xorg.conf, one second, I'll walk you through it | 00:06 |
| Hanz | comicinker, dr_willis, cheers | 00:06 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: do this in a terminal: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:06 |
| kFj | Mecha25, You mean Preferences - Sessions? | 00:07 |
| Mecha25 | kFj: yeah | 00:07 |

| matisse | Hi, can someone tell me, how I can force my dhcp-server to give me another ip ? Alreasy tried to google, but I didn't find a shell command... | 00:07 |
| Mecha25 | kFj: are you on Xubuntu? | 00:07 |
| kFj | no. mint | 00:07 |
| Mecha25 | matisse: deconnect and reconnect | 00:07 |
| Bizzeh | hey, how is linux at booting from and running on, a fat32 formatted drive? | 00:07 |
| Mecha25 | kFj: mint I think has some other places for stuff like that, I'm not sure, never used it | 00:08 |
| DigitalFiz | whats a good editor with syntax highlighting that might be a little lighter then quanta but still has ftp functionality? | 00:08 |
| Bizzeh | ie, if i format /boot and / as fat32, will anything ever load? | 00:08 |
| LjL | Bizzeh: err, quite badly i'd say | 00:08 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Hmm... a VMWare image on OSX would work on Linux VMWare? | 00:08 |
| Mecha25 | Bizzeh: don't bother, use EXT3 with a fat32 partition for data | 00:08 |
| jamesish | DigitalFiz: I'm sure vi can do it. | 00:08 |
| kFj | Mecha25, whats the command for samba filesharing service ? | 00:08 |
| LjL | Bizzeh: i can't say it's impossible, but it's probably pretty close. | 00:08 |
| Luigi | Hello. I was just on my computer when the power went out. I had some very important, unsaved information in a gedit session, and am wondering if I can get it back somehow. | 00:08 |
| matisse | Mecha25:no, how do I know how long i have to wait ? | 00:08 |
| Bizzeh | Mecha25: that isnt what i asked :) | 00:08 |
| Mecha25 | Azhi_Dahaka: in theory | 00:08 |
| deunnero | mecha: you should know that i've tried adding Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "enabled" And | 00:08 |
| Nt_nT | is there a way to make thunderbird go to the systemtray when it is minimized??? | 00:08 |
| Bizzeh | /boot doesnt really matter, but / MUST be fat32 | 00:08 |
| DigitalFiz | jamesish, is there a gui to vi that isnt super complicated like the console version? | 00:08 |
| Mecha25 | kFj: I have no idea, there's a Samba settings program that is either not installed or turned off by default in the Administration menu | 00:09 |
| xiamx | matisse: usually the ip expire every 120 mins for a normal router | 00:09 |
| Nt_nT | I mean so that u can continually see if u are getting email? | 00:09 |
| Mecha25 | matisse: give it 2 minutes I think | 00:09 |
| deunnero | mecha; Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "off" but all this did was disable compiz fusion stuff | 00:09 |
| fused | install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables | 00:09 |
| fused | what does that mean? | 00:09 |
| jamesish | Luigi: I understand that there's a facility called memory that can be used to retain important information. it's wetware, though, so it can be a bit unreliable. | 00:09 |
| Nt_nT | !kde4 | 00:09 |

| === andre is now known as ChuZein | ||
| Bizzeh | so if i have /boot as ext2/3 and have / as a fat32 partition, will that work? | 00:09 |
| malberto | do you know why evolution send emails and it appears in other folder ? I mean it appears in spam folder, help please | 00:09 |
| usuario_ | #ubuntu-br | 00:09 |
| Mecha25 | Bizzeh: I don't know if it will or not, that's my proposed solution | 00:09 |
| deunnero | mecha; i changed them to on and enabled.... and then restarted ad compiz fusion worked again... but even when i did that it wasn't enabled for some reason | 00:09 |
| genii | jamesish: I sometimes use whiteware (paper) when wetware is not enough | 00:10 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: do you know how to use a pastebin? | 00:10 |
| kFj | i just want to stop and start it as i go, like just running a command. here its built in the file manager somehow. but no worries. ill find it:P Thx | 00:10 |
| Mecha25 | !pastebin | 00:10 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 00:10 |
| Luigi | jamesish: could you explain this further? Could I use this to retrieve my information? | 00:10 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: pastebin me your xorg.conf | 00:10 |
| matisse | Anyone else a solution via command ? Waiting is a bit silly, because i won't do that once or twice and I want to stay connected to the internet... | 00:10 |

| jamesish | Luigi: gedit saves a buffer every now and then; you've probably not lost too much. When you try and reopen the file, it *should* prompt you about a swp file | 00:14 |

| Mecha25 | sorry, got distracted | 00:14 |
| xiamx | Is there any text-based partition tool that allows me to resize a partition? | 00:15 |
| deunnero | Mecha: kk =] ty for helping | 00:15 |
| CelticLord | nuit!! | 00:15 |
| comicinker | ThexLeopard: ah, I saw it now: open your stereo music file, play it, click on audio->channels->mono . is that what you wanted? | 00:15 |
| deunnero | Mecha; Cause this was the reason why i uninstalled linux the last three times lol | 00:15 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: first thing's first, turn OpenGLOverlay on | 00:15 |
| ThexLeopard | possibly, let me see | 00:15 |
| deunnero | Mecha; k | 00:15 |
| deunnero | mecha; do i need to turn video overlay off? | 00:15 |
| Mecha25 | then add a new section, called "Module" | 00:15 |
| comicinker | ThexLeopard: or audio->device | 00:16 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: no, both should be on I think | 00:16 |
| dmsuperman | When I start X, I get no video. I have 2 monitors plugged in. I want X to be on the dvi one. However, when not using X (I'm in a TTY now), it shows on my secondary monitor, the VGA | 00:16 |
| deunnero | Mecha; New section created | 00:16 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: in that section (make sure not to forget the EndSection) add the following 2 lines | 00:16 |
| ThexLeopard | nah im still getting either one channel or the other | 00:16 |
| Mecha25 | Load "glx" | 00:17 |
| ThexLeopard | and i dont have audio => device | 00:17 |
| Mecha25 | Load "dbe" | 00:17 |
| Mecha25 | and that should do it | 00:17 |
| Mecha25 | dmsuperman: what video card do you have? | 00:17 |
| ThexLeopard | i dont suppose id need to install sound drivers would i? | 00:17 |
| Mecha25 | ThexLeopard: depends on your sound card, in 99% of the cases, you don't have to install anything | 00:18 |
| deunnero | Mecha; Alright.. lemme restart =] if i don't come back it's fixed | 00:18 |
| deunnero | Mecha; If i come back something went wrong | 00:18 |
| Mecha25 | deunnero: peace and good luck | 00:18 |
| ThexLeopard | i have onboard sound, NVIDIA nForce, up until now i havent had to install anything to get sound | 00:18 |
| deunnero | Mecha lol | 00:18 |
| comicinker | ThexLeopard: I have only german menu | 00:18 |
| Mecha25 | ThexLeopard: what happened to cause this? | 00:19 |
| dmsuperman | Mecha25: 8600gt | 00:19 |
| Mecha25 | dmSuperman: are you using the opensource or proprietary drivers? | 00:19 |
| Mecha25 | dmsuperman: if you don't know, then probably open source | 00:19 |
| comicinker | ThexLeopard: but I think the option you search is in the VLC menu. you must play a music file to make the menu available | 00:20 |
| euxneks | when I use htop, what does "load" mean? | 00:20 |
| Mecha25 | !load | 00:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about load | 00:20 |
| dmsuperman | Mecha25: I got the drivers from nvidia.com | 00:20 |
| ThexLeopard | Mecha25, nothings been caused, its just that my stereo speakers have had it, and i have to play music through my amp, which is a mono speaker, so i only get either the right or left channel, and i want both but in mono without changing the file format | 00:20 |
| Mecha25 | euxneks: it's a weird concept, if you're not running a server, it won't be useful | 00:20 |
| dmsuperman | Mecha25: 173.14.19 I think | 00:20 |
| Mecha25 | dmsuperman: nvidia.com hosts linux drivers?? really? never knew | 00:20 |
| URGENT-help | hello again | 00:20 |
| dmsuperman | Mecha25: Yup | 00:20 |
| dmsuperman | Mecha25: What else would I use? | 00:20 |
| Mecha25 | ThexLeopard: gotcha. can you just hard-wire a stereo-mono plug for your amp? | 00:21 |
| Mecha25 | dmSuperman: the ones through Synaptic, or Add/Remove programs | 00:21 |
| ThexLeopard | i only have stereo plugs | 00:21 |
| URGENT-help | so, anybody knows how can I create a root user with a LiveCD, but on a / partition of an installed Hardy? | 00:21 |
| LjL | URGENT-help: why do you want to create a root user? | 00:21 |
| ThexLeopard | i take it theres no easy quick fix then rofl? | 00:21 |
| Mecha25 | thexLeopard: you can get a converter plug, it'd save you the hassle of merging files every time you want it, probably costs about $5 at radio shack | 00:22 |
| genii | I'm tempted to !root | 00:22 |
| dmsuperman | Mecha25: I don't even have X | 00:22 |
| comicinker | ThexLeopard: did you check my last message? | 00:22 |
| Mecha25 | dmsuperman: apt-get will do you fine, but you need to know the package name. I'm on ATI, otherwise I'd walk you through it | 00:22 |
| jamesish | dmsuperman: what you trying to do? | 00:22 |
| ThexLeopard | i did comicinker, i was running the wind cries mary and i only got the channel picker option | 00:22 |
| dmsuperman | jamesish: Just get video working | 00:22 |
| Mecha25 | jamesish: get his nvidia card working with dual monitors I think | 00:23 |

| URGENT-help | LjL: I had that before. I had passwd -l root | 00:34 |
| Mecha25 | ubuntu_todd: here's the thing, by default your computer (unless you installed the Server version) doesn't have a mail server, and with good reason. it'd take up resources, and you really don't need one. short answer: you can, but it's a ton of work and isn't worth it unless your computer will be always on and serving mail to many other users | 00:34 |
| URGENT-help | LjL: So that would set the root pass to a value that it is impossible to get | 00:35 |

| Elda | I have a friend who installed Xubuntu on a friend's laptop which was VERY old. And operating wise (not games etc) it runs just as fast as mine which has Kubuntu. And my laptop has 2 gigs, duel core 1.86ghz, and a go 7900 gtx :> | 00:57 |

| compu73rg33k | It's not just 8.10, it's been doing it since 7.04 or 7.10 | 00:58 |
| Mecha25 | voglster: there should be a .rc file you can edit to change the default startup programs, and add the panel to that list | 00:58 |

| blak | i have ubuntu 8.04 optimized eeepc kernel | 01:17 |
| Xavura | I recorded at 1024x768 in .ogg and I wanna use mencoder to turn it to .avi but scale it down too | 01:17 |
| dmsuperman | Snowniak: /msg Snowniak Test | 01:17 |

| LjL | Snowniak: that's not for highlighting, that's for sending private messages. | 01:17 |
| Snowniak | ok, its just an example | 01:17 |
| dmsuperman | Mecha25: =O | 01:17 |
| LjL | Snowniak: try #freenode for general IRC help | 01:17 |
| pilot419 | Snowniak just type nick b4 ur msg | 01:17 |
| dmsuperman | Mecha25: How can you say you've LIVED?! | 01:17 |
| Xavura | Snowniak: There ain't no "highlight" command, you just say their name and it'll grab their attention with most clients. | 01:17 |
| Snowniak | there is another one, that highlights | 01:17 |
| dmsuperman | !u | pilot419 | 01:17 |
| ubottu | pilot419: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 01:17 |
| LjL | Snowniak: no. that's just typing the nickname, as we repeatedly said. | 01:17 |
| mecha | !fluxbox | 01:18 |
| ubottu | fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 01:18 |
| Mecha25 | dmsuperman: wow, I never knew that one was in there | 01:18 |
| Xavura | Anyone know how to scale down with mencoder? | 01:18 |
| mecha | does fluxbox conflict with gnome? | 01:18 |
| Mecha25 | Xavura: you can always try in terminal: man mencoder | 01:18 |
| Snowniak | ok, thanks | 01:18 |

| KenBW2 | LjL: is your nick trying to look like an elephant, cos thats what i see :P | 01:19 |
| Xavura | mecha: and read all xxxx pages? I can't find it. | 01:19 |
| unop | mecha, not really - it's a window manager, GNOME on the other hand is a Desktop Environment, which means you can use fluxbox as a window manager within GNOME. | 01:19 |
| Xavura | I already tried that. | 01:19 |
| LjL | KenBW2: ...? | 01:19 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: the j looks like an elephant's trunk | 01:19 |
| LjL | if you say so | 01:19 |
| Schuenemann | yeah, like postgreSQL | 01:19 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: or is it just me | 01:19 |
| Mecha25 | xavura: try using / to search in the man page | 01:20 |
| LjL | KenBW2: /whois ljl and find out what my nickname is about | 01:20 |
| mecha | unop: i see. so you use it for windows placement? | 01:20 |
| Elda | wsa curious xD | 01:20 |
| Mecha25 | mecha: I think it takes metacity's place | 01:20 |
| Elda | *was | 01:20 |
| unop | mecha, yea, but i don't use GNOME at all - just fluxbox by itself | 01:20 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: that explains a lot | 01:20 |
| Xavura | mecha: I don't know what to search for, exactly but I can try. | 01:20 |
| LjL | blak: uhm, your list seems alright, yet Hardy doesn't have debhelper 7 | 01:20 |
| neet1 | How can I get the devices listed in /dev/ to refresh themselves? | 01:21 |
| dean0null | how do you get into root on the command line? | 01:21 |

| Brainyiscool | running top shows that xOrg is the culprit | 01:22 |

| === dellubuntu is now known as DIL | ||
| unop | mecha, yes, metacity is the default window manager on GNOME | 01:22 |
| Ward1983 | tat-, just flow / connectionbased, i want to loadbalance between my own network and the wifinetwork of my neighbour (yes i got his permission) | 01:22 |
| Xavura | mecha: I thought 5 out of 7 letters was enough to auto-complete.......... | 01:22 |
| tat- | Ward1983: thats possible | 01:23 |
| lgbr | how do I uninstall something installed with module-assistant? | 01:23 |
| mecha | Xavura: i guess not | 01:23 |
| Ward1983 | tat-, how? / what is the name so i can google it | 01:23 |
| Xavura | Mecha25: I dunno what to search for. | 01:23 |
| unop | Xavura, case matters tho :) | 01:23 |
| LjL | blak: well, try removing that package, i don't know where it came from - it's definitely not in hardy | 01:23 |
| Xavura | Not for my client unop. | 01:23 |
| mecha | unop: ty. do you know how to get to those metacity settings? | 01:23 |
| blak | most likely it would have come from the optimized kernel for eeepc from array.org? | 01:23 |
| blak | you sure i should remove that? | 01:23 |
| tat- | Ward1983: google linux load balance router | 01:23 |
| sabaua | boooring | 01:24 |
| Ward1983 | tat-, ok | 01:24 |
| unop | mecha, now that's beyond me - could probably be one of ~/.gnome2/*session* - not sure, ask someone who uses GNOME | 01:24 |
| Brainyiscool | Any way to determine why Xorg is consuming so many resources? I have compiz disabled, with just a terminal with 2 tabs, firefox, system monitor, anow xchat, but my CPU is jumping around averaging 20%. running top shows me that the culprit is Xorg. Running Gnome. | 01:24 |

| Mecha25 | Xavura: what are you trying to do? | 01:25 |
| mecha | unop: do you know if emerald interferes with metacity somehow? | 01:25 |
| Elda | Not quite sure why but I find Kubuntu (basically the same as ubuntu but with KDE instead of gnome) so very fun/rewarding to use :> | 01:25 |
| chester_m | could someone help me with MySQL? I want to create a database on my host but i don't have cPanel, so i need to create it manually, but i don't really know how. | 01:25 |
| Xavura | Mecha25: Scale down with mencoder, someone told me it's -vf scale=... so nvm | 01:25 |
| mecha | Elda: it is | 01:25 |
| LjL | blak: ah, the eeepc kernel - i see, that's likely. well, still, it requires debhelper 7, so you either get debhelper 7 from the same place, or remove it, or remain with a broken APT | 01:25 |

| smm289 | rename drive ? | 01:26 |
| blak | ljl could i harm my system doing this, as in, making my wireless never work again? | 01:26 |
| deaftone | i tried xubuntu, kubuntu, both load at least 3x slower than the slack i had on before | 01:26 |
| mecha | Elda: it just happens to be that my personal opinion is that gnome is more fun | 01:26 |
| john__ | my kubuntu is fast | 01:26 |
| LjL | blak: possible | 01:26 |
| LjL | blak: well, "never" is a big word | 01:26 |
| ShinHadoken | asdf | 01:26 |
| blak | ok so ljl how do i go about doing this? | 01:26 |
| blak | and can you help me undo it if it doesnt work lol? | 01:26 |
| Elda | slackware is bare bones though and only what you add to it | 01:26 |
| mecha | its all fast when you switch from windows vista | 01:26 |
| Mecha25 | one last time, before I get completely sidetracked: does ANYONE know why BC (in terminal) has suddenly stopped doing absolutely anything, even when I run bc -h | 01:27 |
| john__ | hello aren | 01:27 |
| * mecha tosses vista cd into the round file | 01:27 | |
| Elda | Vista isn't so bad on my laptop and I find it pretty, fun to use. But it doesn't feel as "inviting" as Kubuntu :( | 01:27 |
| blak | ugh Vista | 01:27 |
| LjL | blak: no, because i need to head to bed very shortly. try perhaps enabling that array.org repository again, and you might find more specific help in #ubuntu-eeepc | 01:27 |
| Mecha25 | mecha: I run vista on 1GB RAM and a 1.8GHZ single core | 01:27 |
| Schuenemann | I wonder how it could be "fun" to use an OS | 01:27 |
| blak | ok | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | Schuenemann, the PhunOS! | 01:28 |
| Elda | I dont know Schuenemann but for me it is | 01:28 |
| blak | thanks LjL | 01:28 |
| Schuenemann | heheeh | 01:28 |
| mecha | Schuenemann | !compiz | 01:28 |
| john__ | Vista is very slow to use. Apparently it speeds up though after a while, but I've not used it that long. | 01:28 |
| Mecha25 | mecha: vista only sucks by default, once you tweak it, it's way way better than XP. I still use linux about 80% of the time, but it's there for those times I just straight up need to run a windows-only app | 01:28 |
| Schuenemann | mecha, compiz could be beautiful, but fun? | 01:28 |
| kindofabuzz | where exactly does b43-cutter store the firmware it downloads? I wwant to go back to hardy after a Intrepid upgrade, but don't want to have to haul my computer over to the router to get wireless going again. figured i can just save it and go from there | 01:28 |
| Elda | Mecha, your entitled to that :p | 01:28 |
| mecha | Mecha25: fo sho | 01:28 |
| smm289 | I find that vista does runny pretty slick, ya just have to throw some descent hardware are it. And it loves its RAM | 01:29 |
| Elda | I used gnome for a while, but it did not seem to have the *umph* to it | 01:29 |
| Elda | at least imo | 01:29 |
| mecha | Schuenemann: u dont get out much do you? | 01:29 |
| Schuenemann | Elda, the what? | 01:29 |
| Schuenemann | mecha, huh? | 01:29 |
| Elda | However I still prefer some of the gnome apps such as the sound mixer | 01:29 |
| Mecha25 | to each their own, that's why Dual Boot and multi-front-end linux os's were invented | 01:29 |
| john__ | Vista loves RAM? You mean it hogs memory more like. | 01:29 |
| Elda | The umph... the feel, etc | 01:29 |
| mecha | Schuenemann: nuthin im just playin | 01:29 |

| Lul2x | Hi, I currently have a 80GB hdd in my computer. I want to install Ubuntu server on it and later add two 750GB drives setup in software RAID 1. | 01:48 |
| Lul2x | I was thinking of storing all the files for my webserver on my 80GB drive with daily backups to the RAID drives and use the two 750GB drives for file storage and sharing among my other network computers. Does this sound good or would you guys suggest a better setup? | 01:48 |
| Lul2x | If anyone could lead me to a tutorial explaining how to add software RAID after ubuntu has been installed, that would be great. Thank you!! | 01:48 |
| pen | Templar_Xion, folder | 01:48 |
| Templar_Xion | pen, a folder is a type of file. | 01:48 |
| rootsnatch | Lul2x: it is called mdadm | 01:48 |
| pilot419 | rootsnatch it says Directory or file not found | 01:48 |
| Templar_Xion | Technically it's a directory, but you get what I mean. | 01:48 |
| rootsnatch | Lul2x: google around for that | 01:48 |
| Lul2x | thanks rootsnatch, I'll look that up | 01:48 |
| smm289 | torrentz.com | 01:48 |

| Templar_Xion | pen, Call it anything you want, but know it's in reality a directory. :) | 01:49 |
| Xavura | pen: Did you used to use Windows? That'd explain it | 01:49 |
| Elda | folder, directory what is the difference? :> | 01:49 |
| Templar_Xion | Xavura: Pen wants to extract each file into it's own folder, from what I gathered | 01:49 |
| fiyawerx | Templar_Xion, scrot? | 01:49 |

| Elda | A directory (ala phonebook) is an index of sorts that allow you to sort through and find where something is located. A folder would be the place in which said information is stored. | 01:51 |
| Elda | This also applies by way of filing cabinets ;) | 01:51 |
| fiyawerx | im sure you could just have a script or whatever that takes the scrot shot and dumps it into your web directory | 01:51 |
| Xavura | Scrot shot, haha. | 01:52 |
| Elda | That sounds like it could be painful? | 01:52 |

| Patrick_ | On my current gentoo install I have /home on a separate partition. I have read briefly that I can keep that in-tact when installing ubuntu. Does anyone know if this option is available during the ubuntu server install? Thanks. | 01:53 |
| Pavlz | hello | 01:54 |
| Elda | Hiya | 01:54 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | i installed that Compiz thinge but i don't know how to enable the Expose-like features | 01:54 |
| Pavlz | i finished now to install edubuntu | 01:54 |
| dr_willis | Patrick_, just tell the installer where to mount /home to.. HOWEVER.. shareing /homes btween disrtos can cause odd issues at times.. due to ownership, and other differances | 01:54 |
| Xavura | Azhi_Dahaka: You want the compiz fusion settings manager thing, not sure how you can get it though | 01:54 |
| jrib | Patrick_: I would just install normally with / and /home on a single partition and then change fstab myself afterwards | 01:54 |
| dr_willis | Patrick_, i tend to do what jrib says also. | 01:55 |
| Pavlz | it needed of many updates and to remove many old packages, and to remove packages too much hard | 01:55 |
| Pavlz | for a laptop | 01:55 |
| greencookie | How would I go about controlling X11 remotely? | 01:56 |
| Patrick_ | thanks for the input guys, I'll look into the fstab option and/or maybe just backup my /home files and copy them to the new partition | 01:56 |
| fiyawerx | i would like to point out a nice way to share /home, but it may take a little reading, mount your shared home drive as /mnt/home, then in your fstab mount /mnt/home/distro to your /home | 01:56 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I want to enable the Expose-effects | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, clarify what you want to do exactly... | 01:56 |
| Pavlz | then i don't understand why in edubuntu, that stars with GNOME, in the list of packages | 01:56 |
| fiyawerx | i have a multi-boot setup with 5 different distros, and that one works wonders | 01:56 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | so, i installed the compiz packages, but i don't see where to enable that | 01:56 |

| Pavlz | there are too packages for KDE, which are impossible to install, so i think is better to remove from edubuntu | 01:57 |
| greencookie | dr_willis: I have booted up with Damn Small Linux on a computer and want to connect to my computer at work (which is on the same network). | 01:57 |
| lakitu | hey - i got avast for ubuntu, & i am wondering: when i scan my ntfs drives with it, will it detect windows viruses? or not | 01:57 |
| lakitu | just linux viruses? | 01:57 |
| jlc | Will someone please help me set up print services so I can print over wireless to printer connected to Ubuntu ? | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, You can ssh -X remote box. and run X apps.. if you wanted.. | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, 'connect' is a little vague. :) Or ya could install/setup vnc/freenx and have a remote desktop in a window. | 01:58 |
| greencookie | dr_willis: i have a ssh -X ****@199.**.***.*3 running (which is how I'm using irssi) but when I type startx, it doesnt work. | 01:58 |
| lakitu | does anyone know? re avast scanning for windows viruses in ubuntu? | 01:59 |
| greencookie | I just have a Damn Small linux system with tty and X server (which I have turned off) | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, thats because you DONT do 'startx' You run specific X apps | 01:59 |
| voglster | greencookie, try xterm & | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, the local machine is running linxu or windows? if its using windows. You will want to install xming, | 01:59 |
| voglster | dr_willis, or... shudder... cygwin | 02:00 |
| jlc | I need help setting up my wireless network, all I want to do is print from a WinXP machine to a Linux box. | 02:00 |

| smm289 | remote desktop into a client that is at the login screen ?? is it possible | 02:01 |
| greencookie | dr_willis: I am running linux on the local machine (but it doesnt have X configured to start at boot). What I want to do is: when I log in to my local machine, I want to somehow be able to start the Xserver on my remote machine (which I will be able to fully control from my local one). Is that confusing? :( | 02:01 |
| voglster | greencookie, you need to have an xserver running on your local machine ;-) | 02:01 |
| kris | Hello every one | 02:01 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, you must have X of some time startting locally, so you got a place to display to. | 02:01 |
| greencookie | dr_willis: So its like I have logged into my machine at work (the remote host) but I physically am working on my local host. | 02:02 |
| voglster | kris, hi | 02:02 |
| kris | I got a question | 02:02 |
| voglster | kris, just ask the question | 02:02 |
| Doc8404 | lol | 02:02 |
| kris | Can u run Fedora and Ubuntu? | 02:02 |
| greencookie | voglster: Is there no way I can tunnel the remote X session onto my puter? | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, the kdm/gdm menus at one time had a 'remote login/ssh login' optuon that just popened up a bare desktop with a terminal + ssh, with THAT you could ssh to the remote box and start gnome-session or similer.. but not 'startx' | 02:02 |
| greencookie | something like remote desktop sharing. | 02:02 |
| Schuenemann | at the same time? | 02:02 |
| kris | and another how do u fix broken stuff | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, if its on a LOCAL LAN. you could do a similer task with XDMCP also. | 02:02 |
| kris | like my kde4 is all messed up | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, but i dont think xdmcp over the internet is a good idea. | 02:03 |
| greencookie | yes! dr_willis I am listening. XDMCP | 02:03 |
| Doc8404 | i got something the hardware guys couldnt answer... is it possible to remove the intel GMA950 video from a toshiba laptop and replace it with an intel video system, or to use the pci slot off a laptop to run a video card that does 3d rendering | 02:03 |
| carthik | kris depends on the version number of the "stuff" you mention, and the answer to the first q is yes | 02:03 |
| greencookie | dr_willis: I am on a college network. | 02:03 |
| === sgallinger is now known as n | ||
| Xavura | Any hardware gurus around? | 02:03 |

| dr_willis | greencookie, thats not ecactly a 'safe' network then > :) | 02:03 |
| kris | Well Um lemme be more clear about the kde | 02:03 |
| === n is now known as bazaa | ||
| voglster | greencookie, if you run an xserver locally... you have a place to display the x programs running remotely... i dont know how better to explain it... but xServer needs to be running locally.. then when you ssh and forward ports any X porogram you run on the remote machine will be displayed on the local machine | 02:04 |
| greencookie | dr_willis: I don't have any 'safe' information :) just some music files and such stuff :0 | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | I would start up X with a basic window manager, and ssh -X to the remote box, and run whatever apps ya need. | 02:04 |
| carthik | Doc8404: replacing the on-board video card is almost imposs, and you cannot use pci, since its hard to imagine a PCI card with a VGA/DVI port on it :) | 02:04 |
| shawn123 | how can i suspend the pc from the termianl? | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, or just mount the remote box locally with sshfs.. depends on what tasks you want to do. | 02:04 |
| kris | Their was a bug report and i could not figure out how to report it and im sure i can get the actually issue and report it but how does it get fixed | 02:04 |
| Doc8404 | yeah see i figured that the intel GMA950 is motherboard not a card | 02:04 |
| greencookie | Ok dr_willis, will I have to modify anything on my remote machine's configuration to allow for that? | 02:04 |
| kris | once i report it | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, for xdmcp yes.. for sshfs - no. | 02:05 |
| greencookie | dr_willis: I want to try xdmcp | 02:05 |
| deaftone | how can i login through ssh to a kubuntu? i start /var/run/sshd, get the login prompt but gives me an access denied | 02:05 |
| carthik | kris, some developer might wander by, look at the issue, like it, and fix it. | 02:05 |
| greencookie | Or if it doesnt work, I'll just ssh from tty and forget about x:) | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, time to check out the factoids and stuff then. :) | 02:05 |
| carthik | Or kris, it could get fixed while some other issue gets fixed | 02:05 |
| jrib | !ssh > deaftone | 02:05 |
| ubottu | deaftone, please see my private message | 02:05 |
| harksaw | is there a quick any easy way to change to 16-big color mode ? | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | greencookie, all you have to do is ahve a local X going, and ssh -X over.. and you can run anything ya want. | 02:05 |
| kris | but i don't understand | 02:06 |
| greencookie | dr_willis: let me try that. | 02:06 |
| deaftone | jrib, thx! | 02:06 |
| Doc8404 | i dont think ive ever reported anything... lol | 02:06 |

| willwh | anyone got any tips? | 02:22 |
| Hemebond | jrib: Done. Didn't help. It's not cached because the URL/hostname doesn't actually exist yet which is why I'm using hosts file to provide an IP address; because DNS has no entry. | 02:22 |
| abe3k | jrib : that message shows up when I want to reinstall it | 02:22 |
| dr_willis | takamarou, if you use the .Xsession you will have to start everyting you need. so thats doable then... | 02:23 |

| takamarou | dr_willis, alright. thats what I needed to know, thanks a bunch. | 02:25 |
| Hemebond | jrib: Yes. It's default. Just like the one in that thread. | 02:25 |
| jrib | abe3k: pastebin the command you ran and the full output | 02:25 |
| abe3k | ok | 02:26 |

| jrib | Hemebond: using any proxies (as in the thread)? | 02:26 |
| cilkay | willwh: You might have better luck with the Alternate CD. I'm using an older Nvidia card with the proprietary driver and aside from one annoying problem, which isn't video card specific, I have no problems with KDE. | 02:26 |
| willwh | cilkay: I've tried an alt CD | 02:26 |
| Hemebond | jrib: Nope. Firefox set to use Gnome settings. Gnome Proxy says go straight to web. | 02:26 |
| willwh | it does the same thing | 02:26 |
| willwh | and I | 02:26 |
| dohtem | join #arm | 02:26 |
| willwh | I've previously installed with this gfx card | 02:27 |
| willwh | it's a different mobo this time | 02:27 |
| willwh | which makes me think it's the mobo config causing the problems | 02:27 |

| greencookie | can I download Ubuntu, but without gdm or kdm or kde or any DM or WMs? | 02:27 |
| luis_ | yes | 02:27 |
| cilkay | willwh: I don't know about Intrepid. When you install with the Alt CD, you can configure X if you select the maintenance option. | 02:27 |
| luis_ | use the server version | 02:28 |
| willwh | greencookie: server edition | 02:28 |
| Chris_Foster | Does anyone know of a way to shut down a device connected to a remote computer when the device has its own power source? I can run root commands on the remote computer, and I can't just dissmount the device because that will not turn it off when it has its own power source. | 02:28 |
| willwh | cilkay: ok thanks I'll give it a try | 02:28 |
| Flukey | can i format from busybox ? | 02:28 |
| willwh | :) | 02:28 |
| dr_willis | Chris_Foster, what kind of device? | 02:28 |
| raht | through lsof I found Nautilus is preventing me from unmounting an NTS volume. I have no nautilus instance opened. How should I get rid of this leftover? | 02:28 |
| Chris_Foster | dr_willis: a external hard-drive | 02:28 |
| tinker | Thanks anyway guys, have a good one | 02:28 |
| cilkay | willwh: You're welcome. Good luck. | 02:28 |
| greencookie | willwh: do you know if I can run the server edition off my iPod (make it boot from there)? | 02:29 |
| veedubya | Ques - Am i stuck with 800x600 with an older ATI Rage Mobility vid card? | 02:29 |
| jon_high9000 | my apologies. I thought it was a file. it turned out to be a directory. | 02:29 |
| willwh | greencookie: no idea, I would imagine google'll tell you | 02:29 |
| jrib | Hemebond: close your firefox completely. Check for running instances of firefox with 'ps -ef | grep firefox'. Start firefox again. Clear all private data. Test again. Refresh the page. Still have the issue? | 02:30 |
| fignuts | hi | 02:30 |
| greencookie | thanks willwh | 02:30 |
| fignuts | does anybody know why my volume for web videos is way low when videos on my pc sound just fine? | 02:30 |
| cilkay | raht: You could kill that process. | 02:30 |
| jlc | how do I make my ubuntu box show up on my router? | 02:30 |
| jrib | abe3k: try to "reinstall" instead of "remove" | 02:31 |
| cilkay | veedubya: No, I've run that exact same card on an IBM ThinPad A21p with 1600x1200 display. | 02:31 |
| abe3k | jrib : ok | 02:31 |
| andre_pl | I've got a gutsy machine that refuses to upgrade to hardy, complaining over gnome-screensaver or some such garbage. does anyone know how to brute force my way through this? | 02:31 |
| jrib | andre_pl: pastebin the actual errors | 02:31 |
| veedubya | cilkay - any pointers - i have tried just about everything | 02:31 |
| danbh_intrepid | andre_pl: you should upgrade to the latest gutsy first... | 02:31 |
| Chris_Foster | on average, how many hours could I get out of a external hard-drive if it was running 24/7? This device gets pretty hot, but Im not sure if its above average as its the only external hd i've ever had. | 02:32 |
| jrib | Chris_Foster: try ##hardware | 02:32 |
| Chris_Foster | thanks | 02:32 |
| cilkay | veedubya: Restart machine, go into the maintenance mode (I forget the option but it's obvious when you hit Esc), and you'll see the option to reconfigure X. | 02:32 |
| andre_pl | danbh_intrepid: what i did was sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, then changed gutsy to hardy in my sources.list and did sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 02:32 |
| raht | cilkay, Thank you very much. A quick 'man' read revealed what I had to do. | 02:32 |
| qwerqwer | how can I log output of stdin and view it? | 02:32 |
| pokey | hi | 02:32 |
| smm289 | Chris_Foster:the manufacturer usually have specs on that sort of thing, look for the make and model then check out their website | 02:33 |
| rebel_kid | is there anyway i can check if my wireless can bridge, without going through all the setup and failing | 02:33 |
| andre_pl | jrib: trying again, will paste in a sec | 02:33 |
| abe3k | jrib : thanks everything went fine :D | 02:33 |
| jrib | qwerqwer: COMMAND | tee some_file_to_save_the_output | 02:33 |
| danbh_intrepid | andre_pl: oh, that method is unsupported, why dont you use the supported method? update-manager? | 02:33 |
| andre_pl | didn't know about it | 02:33 |
| smm289 | will give ya mean time between failures if run within the temp limitations | 02:33 |
| veedubya | restarting | 02:33 |
| Chris_Foster | smm289: thanks, ill check it after i ask on ##hardware | 02:33 |
| andre_pl | can i do it from the command line? | 02:33 |
| jrib | !upgrade > andre_pl | 02:33 |
| ubottu | andre_pl, please see my private message | 02:33 |

| Patrick_ | Hi, I currently have ubuntu server installed on a 80GB hdd and would like to add two 750GB hdds setup with RAID 1. I've been told to read about mdadm and I have. However, it is still a little unclear to me what it is I need to do. Is there a tutorial out there or anyone willing to help me out on how to setup software raid on such a configuration? | 02:33 |
| danbh_intrepid | andre_pl: see the msg from ubottu | 02:33 |
| pokey | does anyone have a windows xp i can get? | 02:34 |
| FluxD | !img | 02:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about img | 02:34 |
| tritium | pokey: don't ask for warez here | 02:34 |
| jrib | pokey: that's not on-topic here | 02:34 |
| pokey | oh my bad | 02:34 |
| qwerqwer | how do I view stdout and log it at the same time | 02:34 |
| jrib | qwerqwer: did you see what I said? | 02:35 |
| veedubya | cilkay - i hot ESC and have 3 choices 1. kernel generic 2. kernel recovery mode 3.memtest | 02:35 |
| Patrick_ | anyone? | 02:35 |
| jrib | !helpme | Patrick_ | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Patrick_: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 02:35 |
| cilkay | veedubya: And it's not obvious which one to pick? Hint: #2 :) | 02:35 |
| veedubya | well thats very close to maintenance but i had to ask | 02:36 |
| veedubya | ok garble garble across screen | 02:36 |
| veedubya | cilkay - assuming "xfix" | 02:37 |
| cilkay | yes | 02:37 |
| Hemebond | jrib: Yes, it's still a problem. | 02:37 |
| veedubya | ok it overwrote something - now "resume" | 02:38 |
| Hemebond | jrib: The DNS entry can not be cached because the hostname does not exist. | 02:38 |
| jrib | Hemebond: don't know then. Updating my /etc/hosts takes immediate affect here on firefox | 02:38 |
| Hemebond | 8.04? | 02:38 |
| jrib | Hemebond: yes | 02:38 |
| Hemebond | Are you behind a proxy server? | 02:39 |
| jrib | Hemebond: no | 02:39 |
| voglster | does anyone have any experience with xmove that could help me get my head wrapped around the idea? | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | voglster, is that the app that moves a running X program from one X display to another? | 02:39 |
| srini | hi - I am trying to set up a internal network with bunch of routing needs.. is this right forum ? | 02:40 |
| voglster | dr_willis, yup... im thinking about using this to accomplish my goal of running azureus or some other gui torrent app on a server and then moving it to the current Xserver im on | 02:40 |
| tritium | srini: this is for general ubuntu support | 02:40 |
| veedubya | cilkay - thanks but oddly enough Pref>Screen says 1024x768 but Firefox shows different | 02:41 |
| luis__ | hekki | 02:41 |
| voglster | srini, it depends on how complex but im sure there are a few network guys lurking... myself included | 02:41 |
| luis__ | hello | 02:41 |
| Mike020 | What's the directory for Pidgin plugins? | 02:41 |
| dr_willis | voglster, i rember it not working very well.. for your proboem.. what i do is use vncserver, with a minimal window manager. like jwm, then if i want to access the torrent app. I just run a vncclioent and connect to the 'torrent-vncdesktop' | 02:41 |
| MXIIA | 1286, why the hell are all thes idiots using ubuntu | 02:41 |
| Tanalark | hi, everyone... quick question. | 02:41 |
| srini | voglster: thanks.. I have internal network .. say eth0 on ubuntu machine.. that machine connects to internet via dialup - ppp0 | 02:41 |
| tritium | MXIIA: careful | 02:41 |
| dr_willis | voglster, my way lets the thing run inthe background and can be accessed from any box's with very little work. | 02:41 |
| danbh_intrepid | MXIIA: not here please | 02:42 |
| srini | but eth0 connects to a router thats connected to a cable router .. | 02:42 |
| nick_ | quick question - what command can I use to append a value to PATH ? | 02:42 |
| dr_willis | voglster, many torrent apps have web interfaces/plugins these days also. :) | 02:42 |
| srini | I was trying to come into network via cable router and go out via ppp0 | 02:42 |
| UnknownUser | are you guys seeding the next ubuntu release?, all the mirrors seem slow atm :/ | 02:42 |
| voglster | dr_willis, but i wanna play with my remote X stuff ;-) | 02:42 |
| jrib | nick_: export PATH="${PATH}":A_VALUE | 02:42 |
| tritium | #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, UnknownUser | 02:42 |
| nick_ | thanks | 02:43 |
| dr_willis | voglster, xmove was very very very flakey and dident work very well when i tried it. i dont think its beenupdated in ages.. a | 02:43 |
| voglster | dr_willis, ok... vnc it is i guess... | 02:43 |
| srini | voglster. there is squid sitting on the ubuntu.. Problem is tcpdump shows some traffic over ppp0 . but browser doesnt get anything.. | 02:43 |
| dr_willis | voglster, seeing a few guides on xmove.. but i perfer the vnc way | 02:43 |
| dr_willis | voglster, http://www.the-love-shack.net/2008/01/23/xmove-xvfb-coolness/ | 02:44 |
| Tanalark | I've got XP running, dual-booted with PC Linux OS 2007. and I want to install ubuntu over the partition where PCLOS is installed. I already deleted the data in the 10 GB partition I have set aside for PCLOS, including the swap and home, etc. What I need to know is what size I need to use to divide the / /home and swap drives out of the 10 GB | 02:44 |
| voglster | dr_willis, yea ive been looking too and saw that one | 02:44 |
| HexFlash | whats a good ubuntu video editor? | 02:44 |
| Sikki | ok can someone tell me a program to transfer videos to a 5g ipod i have been reading forums for 3 days now and everyone says gtkpod but gtkpod only supports audio | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | voglster, lets just say that last i used xmove... it was barely useable. :) it may be better now. | 02:44 |
| voglster | srini, are you trying to access from that box or using at as router?" | 02:44 |
| Mike020 | What's the directory to put in Pidgin plugins? | 02:44 |
| danbh_intrepid | Tanalark: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning | 02:45 |
| voglster | dr_willis, ah well i didnt want to mess too much with vnc... meybe ill just use a text based torrent system with screen ;-) | 02:45 |
| HexFlash | does anyone know of a good ubuntu video editor | 02:45 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Hi | 02:45 |
| srini | voglster. I am using it as router.. router that routes traffic via one of the interfaces based on login info.. login info is controlled by squid .. and squid sets tos.. and I have ip-up.d script setup to create route table based on tos | 02:45 |
| jrib | HexFlash: kino, pitivi, avidemux | 02:45 |
| HexFlash | thanks | 02:45 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | How can i set gdm once again as the display manager? | 02:45 |
| tritium | HexFlash: have you even tried searching the available packages in synaptic? | 02:45 |
| HexFlash | no | 02:46 |
| HexFlash | im a noob | 02:46 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | i installed KDE4 but didn't like it | 02:46 |
| jrib | Mike020: ~/.purple/plugins | 02:46 |
| Elda | KDE4 seemed too unfinished imo :> | 02:46 |
| ExtraCrispy | I have a server running ubuntu, and I was wondering, is there was a command that automatically downloads a given development library? | 02:46 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | yep | 02:46 |
| Elda | Didnt like the fake desktop idea as much either | 02:47 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Anyway, how can i reset gdm as the default? | 02:47 |
| Elda | Fake desktop being in that you didnt actually use the desktop but that the icons where just shortcuts to stuff put in that directory | 02:47 |
| srini | voglster. So internet/sshin--->cable router--->eth0-ubuntu server (sshin)-->squid-->ppp0 or -->usbnet or --->ppp1 | 02:47 |
| jrib | Elda: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm should work. Or try kdm instead and it may give you the choice again. | 02:47 |
| jon_high9000 | Thank you very much! it worked like a charm. | 02:47 |
| Elda | jrib huh? :> | 02:48 |
| jrib | Azhi_Dahaka: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm should work. Or try kdm instead and it may give you the choice again. | 02:48 |
| jrib | Elda: sorry :) | 02:48 |

| Goofankle | I'm trying to run unetbootin on opensuse 11.0 and I'm trying to install gentoo, but when I run the program it says that 'udev' isn't installed, but it really is installed. Why is it saying this? Is it safe to continue? | 02:49 |
| veedubya | ok i have come to the conclusion i am ok with 800x600 | 02:49 |
| Goofankle | I tried asking in the suse channel but no one answered me. | 02:49 |
| tritium | Goofankle: still, wrong channel | 02:49 |
| Hemebond | This is rubbish. | 02:49 |
| Hemebond | I'm about to boot into Windows simply because my hosts file is being ignored. | 02:49 |
| Goofankle | is there a channel for unetbootin, or am I going to have to hope someone in #suse answers me? | 02:50 |

I will be adding a windows computer to connect to this computer, as well as adding another kubuntu system. I have not yet set up the windows system, when I add a network folder from the doplhin options, I can add a webdav, ftp, microsoft, or ssh connection. What the difference between webdav and ssh?\ | 03:52 |
| clayg | picks, does it allow me to choose the filename before saving? | 03:52 |
| tritium | clayg, picks: cups-pdf is installed by default | 03:53 |
| clayg | tritium, does it allow me to choose the filename before saving? | 03:53 |
| picks | Well, look at that. See http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/ also | 03:53 |

| gluonman | I'm having a problem with virtualbox. I have a winxp.vdi set up on my computer, and it's working fine. I installed VirtualBox on a friend's Ubuntu box and copied/pasted my existing .vdi over to the other computer via external hard drive. The only problem is that when I added the new virtual machine and built it on the existing .vdi, it says Spawning session, but it remains on 0% consistently. Nothing happens. | 03:55 |

| luis__ | gluoman: I have the same issue | 03:56 |
| unop | Chris_Foster, webdav is a method of transferring files over the HTTP protocol - SSH is the secure shell | 03:56 |
| GodfatherofEire | Ok, anybody have any experience with even getting 700 series printers? | 03:56 |
| NewtoUbuntu | Hi. How do I install kde for ububto? | 03:56 |

| tim167 | how to backup home folder ? thanks | 03:57 |
| f|uke | New, why not run Kubutu? | 03:57 |
| gluonman | luis__, do you have a solution? | 03:57 |

| luis__ | to install kde | 03:57 |
| NewtoUbuntu | because Im new and dont knoe how..lol | 03:58 |
| NewtoUbuntu | ok | 03:58 |
| techsupport | HI ! i'm trying to join a domain with help of samba, here is the error http://pastebin.com/m3dae349 | 03:58 |
| f|uke | Kubutu is a different installation package. If you run Gnome and KDE together, it will get messy | 03:58 |
| usser | tim167, sudo tar -pczf /arch.tar.gz $HOME | 03:59 |
| abe3k | Hi guys , is there any way of making ubuntu mount all of my NTFS drives automatically on restart ? | 03:59 |
| szx0 | Why is it that when i remove a package some of it remains on my system? Example, $ sudo apt-get --purge remove tomcat5.5 .... afterwards $ whereis tomcat5.5 still returns the location for Tomcat5.5 ?? | 03:59 |
| luis__ | if you click on system and go to administration then select synaptic | 03:59 |
| gluonman | luis__, did you have the probem during installation where it mentioned not having the kernel modules installed? | 03:59 |
| usser | abe3k, create a record for each driver in /etc/fstab | 03:59 |
| abe3k | usser : ok then ? | 04:00 |
| f|uke | szx0, the command is just purge now, i believe.. sudo apt-get purge <appname> | 04:00 |
| usser | abe3k, something like /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g 0 0 | 04:00 |
| usser | abe3k, then do sudo mount -a to try to mount it | 04:00 |
| luis__ | gluoman: I did and so I had to go to vmware instead | 04:00 |
| veedubya | !libwebcam | 04:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libwebcam | 04:00 |
| szx0 | f|uke, that returns the same behavior, it remains on my system | 04:01 |
| tim167 | how do i make a backup copy of my home folder ? I get errors and would need to click 'skip' 10.000 times! thanks | 04:01 |
| abe3k | usser : aha so it has to be sudo ? | 04:01 |
| vox | i'm having an issue with my webcam. It's recognised when i plug it in, the module loads, etc.. but when i fire up camera monitor or whatever, it says there's no video device. any ideas? | 04:01 |
| Hentaixp | broadcom drivers on 8.04? | 04:01 |
| Hentaixp | wifi | 04:01 |
| gluonman | luis__, well, I like VirtualBox better than Vmware, which I used initially. But I do have VirtualBox working fine on two of my computers. I'm thinking there's something I need to configure. | 04:01 |
| Hentaixp | !broadcom | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 04:01 |

| veedubya | vox - how are you testing? | 04:01 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone here know if a Fujitsu B6110D will work with Ubuntu? | 04:01 |
| spasticteapot | Specifically the touchscreen? | 04:01 |
| abe3k | usser : it doesn't ask for my password or anything | 04:02 |
| usser | abe3k, no you just edit /etc/fstab as sudo | 04:02 |
| szx0 | Why is it that when i remove a package some of it remains on my system? Example, $ sudo apt-get --purge remove tomcat5.5 .... afterwards $ whereis tomcat5.5 still returns the location for Tomcat5.5 ?? | 04:02 |
| usser | abe3k, ie sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 04:02 |
| abe3k | usser : I understand I saw whats inside | 04:02 |
| usser | abe3k, add a line /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g 0 0 adjust hda1 and /mnt/windows according to your needs | 04:02 |
| usser | abe3k, right | 04:03 |
| phayz | is there a guide somewhere as to which nvidia cards are supported by the various packages? i'm confused by nvidia-glx-new-envy, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy... | 04:03 |
| vox | veedubya: i've tried several webcam programs, including EasyCam2. all of them say they can "see" the camera(Hal sees it, syslog shows the modules have been loaded, etc), but there's no video source available | 04:03 |
| szx0 | Why is it that when i remove a package some of it remains on my system? Example, $ sudo apt-get --purge remove tomcat5.5 .... afterwards $ whereis tomcat5.5 still returns the location for Tomcat5.5 ?? | 04:03 |
| abe3k | usser : can I link you my fstab file ? | 04:04 |
| tim167 | usser: just saw your response now...thanks, where would that command copy my home folder to? a .tar file in the cwd ? | 04:04 |
| veedubya | vox - what camera? the reason i ask is i am in the same boat | 04:04 |
| usser | abe3k, yea sure pastebin it, also pastebin sudo fdisk -a | 04:04 |
| usser | tim167, no a tar file in your / | 04:04 |
| vox | veedubya: i've tried two, one uses the OV511 chipset, the other is a logitech of some description | 04:04 |
| abe3k | usser :http://pastebin.com/m3ae9a2a0 this is the fstab | 04:04 |
| tim167 | usser: i dont have enough space for that, i want to put it on an external drive | 04:05 |
| veedubya | vox - might want to look into testing with luvcview | 04:05 |
| usser | abe3k, fdisk -l sorry | 04:05 |
| veedubya | vox - i got mine almost as i want it with guvcview | 04:05 |
| acp_ | hi what the channel for 8.10 bugs? or should I report it to ubuntu-developer? | 04:06 |
| usser | tim167, well depending where you mounted your drive | 04:06 |
| abe3k | usser : here http://pastebin.com/m1c569387 | 04:06 |
| Sa[i]nT | 8.10, goto #ubuntu+1 | 04:06 |
| tim167 | usser: so i do: sudo tar -pczf /media/disk-1/arch.tar.gz $HOME or such, right? do i actually need the sudo ? | 04:06 |
| szx0 | Why is it that when i remove a package some of it remains on my system? Example, $ sudo apt-get --purge remove tomcat5.5 .... afterwards $ whereis tomcat5.5 still returns the location for Tomcat5.5 ?? | 04:06 |
| unop | tim167, you do if you don't have write access to /media/disk-1 | 04:07 |
| usser | tim167, thats correct and if you mounted the external disk as a regular user and its your home dir youre copying then sudo is not needed | 04:07 |
| luis__ | gluoman: Did you try reinstalling virtual box for a fix? | 04:07 |
| cilkay | When I run apt-proxy-import on Hardy, I get "no suitable backend found". I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-proxy/+bug/4844 but I don't have any of those Packages.bz2 files. Any idea how I can get apt-proxy-import to work? | 04:07 |

| usser | abe3k, i got you | 04:11 |
| Fungusma1 | Hey guys | 04:11 |
| Flannel | f|uke: or more specifically, have you tried the one on the Ubuntu wiki? | 04:11 |
| usser | abe3k, cd /ntfs | 04:11 |
| flx | ethana2: Intel's not too bad, I don't know if they sell PCI cards tho'. I know my laptop works well. | 04:11 |
| f|uke | Ones i found in ubuntuforums.org, including the wiki howto | 04:11 |
| abe3k | usser : done | 04:11 |

| Fungusma1 | What should I do ?\ | 04:12 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | ok | 04:12 |
| abe3k | done | 04:12 |
| Skky | where can I go on the Ubuntu site to learn about what 8.10 is bringing to the table? | 04:12 |
| f|uke | I believe so, Flannel,. though I found another that referenced a 64bit driver (without a link),. and the wiki doesn't mention it | 04:12 |
| ethana2 | Skky: release notes for the beta? | 04:12 |
| usser | abe3k, done that? then sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 04:13 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | WEIRD issue... the wireless is working but as soon as i left the room where the Router is, the connection drops... | 04:13 |
| Flannel | Skky: #ubuntu+1 will have links handy (and answer any further questions you may have) | 04:13 |
| abe3k | usser : ok opened | 04:13 |

| Ward1983 | why does ubuntu act crappy with my rtl8187 ? | 04:13 |
| fastfinger | how do i set up sudo deamon or is there a better solution? | 04:14 |
| Ward1983 | i mean it worked perfectly...... | 04:14 |
| Ward1983 | i do a new install and it doesnt work at all | 04:14 |

| blo | Hi, how do I install a 32-bit .deb file on 64-bit architecture? I know I use dpkg and "force-architecture" but I don't know the syntax | 04:14 |
| ethana2 | icedwater: how many do you want? | 04:14 |
| usser | abe3k, did you modify your fstab file before it doesnt look right | 04:14 |
| fastfinger | Flannel: when I try to open 2 audio device, like skype and something else, i get that error, i wanna be able to use 2 or more audio deviuce | 04:14 |
| abe3k | usser : hmmm , I don't remember but I think I did | 04:14 |
| abe3k | usser : whats wrong with it ? | 04:15 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Why is that happening? The laptop was receiving signal ok with windows | 04:15 |
| flx | fastfinger: Trrrry going into System -> Preferences -> Sound and switching things to ALSA. | 04:15 |
| flx | fastfinger: Its a nasty issue. | 04:16 |
| usser | abe3k, the records are all messed up whats supposed to be sdb1 and sdb2 are listed as sda1 and 2 and according to fdisk that / partition doesnt even exist | 04:16 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | having to stay on the same of the router is kinda stupid... | 04:16 |
| usser | abe3k, looks like sdb and sda are switched up somehow | 04:16 |
| abe3k | usser : hmmm, yeah strange | 04:16 |
| kubuser | Hello People. | 04:17 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Please... how on earth ca i be with 65% signal RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROUTER? | 04:17 |
| usser | abe3k, alright back it up cp /etc/fstab ~ | 04:17 |
| abe3k | usser : so is that why none of the drives listed there are automounting ? | 04:17 |
| usser | abe3k, probably | 04:17 |

| bad_cables | whaaa whaa waaaaaaa! (picture screaming infant on airplane) | 04:28 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Nobody's getting the same error that i have? | 04:28 |
| Ward1983 | i need it because since 2.26.24 my wifidriver is broke... | 04:28 |
| noriyuki | is there a way to make a ubuntu repair? I think I need to repair ... cuz It is crashing some times when starting up | 04:28 |
| bad_cables | amanulla: yeah | 04:28 |
| usser | abe3k, hm did you do it without sudo? | 04:28 |
| kubuser | tritium: hmmm.... on kubuntu I can't find it. | 04:28 |
| amanulla | bad_cables:your usb stick capacity? | 04:28 |
| tritium | kubuser: I'm not sure what kubuntu uses. | 04:28 |
| usser | abe3k, just in case do sudo chown -R $USERNAME:$USERNAME /ntfs | 04:28 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, apt-get your kernel sources should fix that | 04:28 |
| bad_cables | amanulla: 8g | 04:28 |
| abe3k | usser : oh w8 I did it in a sudo nautilus | 04:29 |
| kubuser | tritium: ok. I think we're almost there. I'll ping someone in #kubuntu to determine what utility to use next. :) | 04:29 |
| abe3k | usser : let me do it again w8 | 04:29 |
| usser | abe3k, right try regular user | 04:29 |
| tritium | kubuser: good luck | 04:29 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, what are the kernel sources? | 04:29 |
| amanulla | bad_cables:the size of your ubuntu installed? | 04:29 |
| kubuser | tritium: thanks for your help. :) | 04:29 |

| f|uke | i read that ndiswrapper is a better solution then fwcutter on broadcom due to a speed cap. Can anyone clarify this? | 04:30 |
| theDtTvB2 | Need help. php5 package is not working.. It already said "Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80" but when I point to a PHP file it gave me errors. | 04:31 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, what is the syntax for that? I'm not sure. | 04:31 |
| usser | abe3k, yea on the other hand it may take a while given size of your hdds | 04:31 |
| bad_cables | amanulla: i dont know what the problem is, i can get a root terminal, but i would like to use it with the defualt gnome interface | 04:31 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | isn't diswrapped the same thing that fwcutter? | 04:31 |
| usser | abe3k, if it works dont worry | 04:31 |
| abe3k | usser : I guess so, its gonna take forever xD | 04:31 |
| usser | abe3k, also your fat partitions are not gonna be mounted | 04:32 |
| usser | abe3k, i only did ntfs | 04:32 |
| usser | abe3k, you want fat too? | 04:32 |
| bad_cables | amanulla: i saw a thread but i cant find it now, i thought... "if i install this to this new disk here... i might get that error..." | 04:32 |
| abe3k | usser : so now each time I restart my computer, I'll find the ntfs drives mounted in the computer window ? | 04:32 |
| sledge | !asla | 04:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about asla | 04:32 |
| sledge | ~lasa | 04:32 |
| bad_cables | it just boots beige... after you log in | 04:32 |
| sledge | ~alsa | 04:33 |
| abe3k | usser : ok we'll do the fats after the chown finishes :) | 04:33 |
| sledge | !alsa | 04:33 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 04:33 |
| amanulla | bad_cables:its better to ask some one because im helpless in this case | 04:33 |
| bad_cables | i need tech support and bacon.... big smelly bacons | 04:33 |
| IamSOG | um.. looks like Xubuntu and Ubuntu don't have a "Kill" command for running application | 04:34 |
| bad_cables | there is a fix in the ubuntu forums, but i have rebooted this live CD and i dont have the same history :( | 04:34 |
| amanulla | bad_cables:have you uses urs usb as hdd? | 04:34 |
| abe3k | usser : will the chown affect accessing the files from windows ? | 04:34 |
| bad_cables | yeah i installed normal but to an 8 gig USB | 04:34 |
| usser | abe3k, actually you have fat but it gets mounted into /media | 04:34 |
| bad_cables | it boots fast | 04:35 |
| davidryder | vnc is teh awesomesauce | 04:35 |
| usser | abe3k, no chown only has effect for linux ntfs-3g driver | 04:35 |
| davidryder | a little slow though | 04:35 |
| abe3k | usser : all ntfs are windows harddisks :) | 04:35 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, you there? I got your little instruction, but my actual question was what the source is. Not the fact that I need to get the source. I already knew that. | 04:35 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | please...I don't want to install windows once again... | 04:36 |
| usser | davidryder, try freenx you'll be blown away | 04:36 |
| amanulla | bad_cables:may i know the procedure to install | 04:36 |
| amanulla | i may also try the same | 04:36 |
| amanulla | and tell you weather i have gui or not] | 04:36 |
| abe3k | usser : the reason why I'm doing this is sometimes applications say that the medium is not found when I start them, so I have to go and click on each harddrive for it to work , hopefully this'll solve it :) | 04:36 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, dunno the name for it out of my head but i remember needing to do it a couple of years ago, let me check | 04:37 |
| murlidhar | hey guys . how should i play .mp4 files . the coding is h.264 . | 04:37 |
| amanulla | bad_cables:have you created swap in your usb? | 04:37 |
| davidryder | usser: i installed freenx on on my linux box but don't know how to login through windows | 04:37 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, thanks. | 04:37 |
| abe3k | usser : I hope the chown finishes soon I have like a bazillion files over there xD | 04:37 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, sudo apt-get install kernel-source lol | 04:38 |
| davidryder | usser: i also have openssh on my windows box | 04:38 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, wait | 04:38 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, sudo apt-get install kernel-source-2.6 i mean | 04:38 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, or trough symaptic | 04:38 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | whoa | 04:38 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | iwconfig show some REALLY crappy speed | 04:39 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, thank you. | 04:39 |
| yokobr | please | 04:39 |
| SteckelBud | synaptic? | 04:39 |
| bad_cables | amanulla: yeah i made a swap | 04:39 |
| theDtTvB2 | Stupid cache. Cleared the cache and it works now. | 04:39 |
| yokobr | i have a problem with my sound driver here | 04:39 |
| usser | davidryder, for windows it may be problematic i heard there was a client but never used it myself | 04:39 |
| usser | abe3k, hopefully :) | 04:39 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, no candidate version found for kernel-source-2.6 | 04:39 |
| randomlogic78 | where are sftp requests logged? | 04:39 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, I checked my spelling. No typos. | 04:39 |
| amanulla | bad_cables:but ihave a 2 gb stick cant i adjust with that | 04:40 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, weird since its in the list | 04:40 |
| amanulla | to install ubuntu | 04:40 |
| abe3k | usser : one more thing thats been bothering me, why is it everytime I open up the system monitor my processors goto 99% usage ? | 04:40 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, I'll check the synaptec. | 04:40 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, then just try kernel-source | 04:40 |
| === kitten is now known as Guest16961 | ||
| abe3k | usser : this didn't happen with me before hardy 8.04 | 04:40 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, still no, so I'm going to search synaptec. | 04:40 |
| usser | abe3k, usually when a program like system monitor loads it takes all cpu | 04:41 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, sure, goodluck, let me know if you find it im getting curious myself lol | 04:41 |
| Sa[i]nT | What controls the startup programs in KDE? | 04:41 |
| usser | abe3k, for a second or so while its loading | 04:41 |
| abe3k | usser : nah its always making my computer laggy when its running >< | 04:41 |
| acp_ | can I do an manual build ltsp chroot? | 04:41 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, nothing in synaptec. But I just came across a forum that states linux-headers-generic as the package that will suffice to fix this problem. I'm going to give it a try and let you know if it works. | 04:42 |
| abe3k | usser : ok the chown finished :D | 04:42 |
| usser | abe3k, cool | 04:42 |
| abe3k | usser : ok then I restart now ? | 04:42 |
| usser | abe3k, i guess now is the time to reboot | 04:42 |
| usser | abe3k, tell me how it goes | 04:42 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, nope. I apparently already have that. | 04:42 |
| abe3k | sudo reboot | 04:42 |
| yokobr | T.T pleaseee... i have no sound here. | 04:42 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, lol | 04:42 |
| acp_ | can I build LTSP chroot manually in 8.10? cause it failed during the installation i got this error "!! Build LTSP chroot Installation step failed An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Build LTSP chroot" | 04:42 |
| abe3k | usser : ok I'll be back | 04:42 |

| phpstar | can anyone help me in trouble shooting SSH server pls | 04:43 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, i need to remember that lol, sohuld i ever need it again | 04:43 |
| phpstar | i been trying from 3 days :( | 04:43 |
| SteckelBud | vox: check the df -h command and post results | 04:44 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, then following the install of linux-source-2.6.24 you must run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 04:44 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, what seems to go wrong? | 04:44 |
| phpstar | nuthing :( | 04:44 |
| phpstar | i checked everything 100 times | 04:44 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, I'm still doing it, so I haven't tested to confirm this actually works, but it's what I found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919364http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919364 | 04:44 |
| vox | SteckelBud: df -h of /dev/video0? | 04:44 |

| Ward1983 | phpstar, how do you mean? what did you do etc? we have no idea what you did, etc | 04:45 |
| Ward1983 | gluonman, nice | 04:45 |
| phpstar | i did nuthing but reboot | 04:45 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, how did you instlal the ssh server? | 04:45 |
| phpstar | i onli reboot windows client | 04:45 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, trying again...could someone help me get wireless working again? | 04:45 |
| doofy` | I'm trying to install ubuntu. It was installed fine before, but I randomly started getting all kinds of errors about the hdd and it would freeze up. I ran badblocks and sent the drive back to WD because it said I had millions of bad blocks. New drive came in and I got it to install once. Booted up and everything started freezing. Trying to reinstall again and the install CD hangs giving be errors such as ata4.00: exception emask 0x SAct | 04:45 |
| phpstar | default | 04:45 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, huh? | 04:46 |
| phpstar | sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 04:46 |
| gluonman | Ward1983, apparently it also helps to make sure you have linux-image-generic and linux-headers-generic to make sure the latest stable kernel is always being pointed to. | 04:46 |
| phpstar | and client as well | 04:46 |
| EvilZx | Oh wow, I got the right channel on a random guess. | 04:46 |
| phpstar | and then forwarded port 8080 | 04:46 |
| vox | SteckelBud: vox@Hagalaz:~$ df -h /dev/video0 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 1013M 72K 1013M 1% /dev | 04:46 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about makefile | 04:46 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, port 8080 is not used for SSH standard | 04:46 |
| Guest16961 | doofy: have you checked your mother board for swollen capacitors? | 04:46 |
| Flannel | gluonman: you don't need the -headers unless you actually need the headers. but yes, a top-level metapackage ensures you have up to date kernels. | 04:46 |
| phpstar | i even tried 7070 | 04:46 |
| sledge | whats the makefile install command again | 04:46 |
| phpstar | and many more | 04:46 |
| abe3k | usser : bad news :( | 04:46 |
| tomoyuki28jp | Which package gives me the mail command?? | 04:46 |

| EvilZx | Anyone? <.< | 04:47 |
| SteckelBud | vox: I've had issues with udev exploding/requiring restart. are you sudo'ing at all? | 04:47 |
| abe3k | usser : thats in the computer window | 04:47 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, the ssh server runs on port 22 by default, installing it takes care of opening the port | 04:47 |
| gluonman | Flannel, I'm just reporting what I'm reading as I'm trying things out. I'm trying to get virtualbox working with the kernel. | 04:47 |
| vox | SteckelBud: nope | 04:47 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, just connect your client to port 22 | 04:47 |
| usser | abe3k, right go to /ntfs see if they are there? | 04:47 |
| SteckelBud | vox: virtualized? | 04:48 |
| phpstar | yes i have forwarded 22 for ssh | 04:48 |
| usser | abe3k, thats normal | 04:48 |
| phpstar | but for tunneling i m using 8080 | 04:48 |
| abe3k | usser : the drive is the /media/sda6 only | 04:48 |
| EvilZx | Can anyone help me on this accursed Driver problem? :( | 04:48 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, are you trying to ssh from outside your lan? | 04:48 |
| phpstar | no | 04:48 |
| abe3k | usser : ok 1 sec | 04:48 |
| phpstar | inside LAN | 04:48 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, then no forwarding is needed | 04:48 |
| phpstar | yes | 04:48 |
| vox | SteckelBud: nope. bog standard install, ov5xx camera | 04:48 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, no portforwarding is needed | 04:48 |
| EvilZx | Oh come on, anyone? D: | 04:48 |
| abe3k | usser : I can see my files in the ntfs folder | 04:48 |
| usser | abe3k, so its fine | 04:49 |
| abe3k | usser : yup :) | 04:49 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, you should disable port forwarding if you dont use it, its not very safe | 04:49 |
| usser | abe3k, its probably because we didnt mount it to /media | 04:49 |
| phpstar | i didnt not forward any port | 04:49 |
| SteckelBud | vox: sorry V- wish I could help, just haven't web cammed in ubuntu, only thinking of similar events that have hit me. | 04:49 |
| abe3k | usser : now we need them to show up in the computer window :) | 04:49 |
| abe3k | aha | 04:49 |
| usser | abe3k, i think only drives mounted there show up in the computer | 04:49 |
| abe3k | usser : what should we do | 04:49 |
| EvilZx | Can anyone help me on this accursed Driver problem? | 04:49 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, then what did you mean by this? ´<phpstar> yes i have forwarded 22 for ssh´ | 04:49 |
| abe3k | usser : change the fstab again ? | 04:49 |
| vox | SteckelBud: yeah, i've never had this issue before.. it's got me stumped, and goodle isnt being overtly helpful | 04:49 |
| usser | abe3k, create all the same folders u have in /mnt in /media and adjust the fstab accordingly | 04:50 |
| phpstar | i mean SShd config is default | 04:50 |
| EvilZx | Can anyone help me at all? :O | 04:50 |
| abe3k | usser : in mnt or ntfs ? | 04:50 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, then you should be able to connect to it | 04:50 |
| usser | abe3k, in /media | 04:50 |
| Ward1983 | phpstar, how are you connecting? do you get a error? | 04:50 |

| usser | abe3k, i know thats why you create those folder in /media | 04:51 |
| EvilZx | Did that. | 04:51 |
| phpstar | is say proxy refusing connection | 04:51 |
| EvilZx | Flannel, I know how to fix it, it just pops up everytime I reboot. | 04:51 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about al | 05:03 |
| xiao | yes ,i see. | 05:03 |
| Bilange | xiao: danbh_intrepid meant that #ubuntu is ONLY for helping people with their Ubuntu problems, and there is other channels for talking with Ubuntu people | 05:03 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Mine is that the mighty linux driver for my BCM4318 is beaten by a flimsy wood door. | 05:03 |
| Flannel | SteckelBud: Like debian and Ubuntu repos, or adding -proposed, or intrepid, etc. | 05:03 |
| xiao | danbh_intrepid,are you ready to chat in English with me what | 05:04 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Sad, as I was digging Ubuntu... but having to stay on the same room of the router to use it is incredibly stupid... | 05:04 |
| Geoffrey2 | Azhi_Dahaka, in short, I can no longer connect to my wireless router... | 05:04 |
| amanulla | can i open .nrg file in ubuntu? | 05:04 |

| amanulla | ok im installing | 05:08 |
| techsupport | how can i change a hostname of my ubuntu ? | 05:08 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok...once again I give up......it's probably time to forget about linux and just go back to XP | 05:09 |
| albuntu | Geoffrey2 : wrong choice | 05:09 |
| izinucs | Geoffrey2, get a cheap usb wireless dongle that works.. | 05:09 |
| Doc8404 | are ther any programs that grap ip addresses out of gyatch and such programs and chat rooms? | 05:10 |
| Bilange | izinucs: just curious, how cheap can you go to make it work in linux? | 05:10 |
| amanulla | i installed it how can i use it? | 05:10 |
| amanulla | albuntu: | 05:10 |
| izinucs | Bilange, pretty cheap.. I have a belkin dongle that functions fine.. $30 or so | 05:10 |
| albuntu | amanulla : type nrg2iso filename.nrg filename.iso | 05:10 |
| abe3k_ | usser : hello there, what am I supposed to do after creating the media folders ? | 05:11 |
| Bilange | hmm, thats not that bad | 05:11 |
| amanulla | ok | 05:11 |
| izinucs | Bilange, It's not really the price.. it's the chipset that counts. | 05:11 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Seems like it, Geoffrey2 | 05:11 |
| abe3k_ | can someone kick abe3k ? its me but I got disconnected | 05:11 |
| techsupport | how can i change a hostname of my ubuntu ? | 05:11 |

| Bilange | izinucs: i know :) | 05:11 |
| amanulla | albuntu:filename.nrg means shall i need to give path of .nrg file | 05:12 |
| rishal | tes | 05:12 |
| Bilange | but i guess i have to stop thinking like there are just a few chipsets well supported in linux | 05:12 |
| albuntu | amanulla : yes | 05:12 |
| danbh_intrepid | !ghost > abe3k_ this might help | 05:13 |
| ubottu | abe3k_, please see my private message | 05:13 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | How could it be possible that for all the flake that linux users gave to windows,that the support for wireless is so shitty | 05:13 |
| Doc8404 | hey guys... anyone know of a program that grabs ips out of im and gyache chat rooms | 05:13 |
| Geoffrey2 | izinucs, as opposed to the computer's onboard wireless...that worked without a hitch until 2-3 days ago? | 05:13 |
| prageeth | help me | 05:13 |
| usser | abe3k, change /etc/fstab and replace the mount point from /ntfs/sd[something] to /media/sd[something] only for the lines that i added | 05:13 |

| amanulla | in my hdd? | 05:13 |
| iamelite | Greetings | 05:14 |
| Ward1983 | danbh_intrepid, lol xiao is clearly some sort of a bot | 05:14 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | seriously... i spent all day with Ubuntu and loved every bit of it... until i left the room and wireless became unavailable | 05:14 |
| izinucs | Azhi_Dahaka, it's not linux but the manufacturers who don't release the code to build drivers. | 05:14 |
| albuntu | amanulla : path where you want to store the iso | 05:14 |
| the_dude | Help!!! my firefox run out when it is on youtube or flash... | 05:14 |
| amanulla | ok | 05:14 |
| albuntu | Azhi_Dahaka : you will never be happy if you dont try to resolve it | 05:14 |
| danbh_intrepid | Ward1983: naw, he is just a communist, trained to infiltrate and corrupt the internet. He probably barely understands the english he posts. But this is way offtopic for this room. | 05:15 |
| amanulla | albuntu:thank you i have done it | 05:15 |
| iamelite | Quick question, i hope. I want to migrate one drive to another. in fact to an empty unpartitioned space. Ive never done it linux style, does it get rough? | 05:15 |
| albuntu | Azhi_Dahaka : just take some time to resolve it. its not the end of the world | 05:15 |
| albuntu | amanulla : no problem | 05:15 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Believe me, I'm trying | 05:15 |
| Ward1983 | danbh_intrepid, ah ok lol, he really seemed like a (badly programmed) AI bot :) | 05:15 |
| nixrous | What time Ubuntu 8.10 stable release ? | 05:15 |
| Bilange | for anyone complaining about shitty drivers on wireless: think of it like if I asked you to make a very specific meal, only I dont give you the receipe to make it | 05:15 |

| abe3k_ | usser : heres my pastebin http://pastebin.com/m7b56a46d | 05:17 |
| izinucs | UnknownIdiot, you might have the default lan port activated instead of the wireless for obtaining the ip address. | 05:17 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | would it be less shitty on the wireless departament? | 05:17 |
| iamelite | albuntu, indeed i have and am on the live cd now. My backups have been migrated and i have an empty space waiting. How do i transfer the data and partition? | 05:17 |
| Ward1983 | Flannel, i didnt even know this i just thought it was some bot thats all... | 05:17 |

| albuntu | iamelite : go to system -> administration -> partition editor | 05:17 |
| abe3k_ | usser : I think its ok now cuz all the folders are listed | 05:17 |
| iamelite | albuntu, its open... looking for option | 05:18 |
| Flannel | !iso | amanulla | 05:18 |
| ubottu | amanulla: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 05:18 |
| abe3k_ | usser : should I change the fstab now ? | 05:18 |
| UnknownIdiot | i have a 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 05:18 |

| shishio | hi i got a problem with my sounds, after i installed new video card on my pc, my sounds dont work, can anyone help me? pls | 05:20 |

| Bilange | Flannel: just curious, is swearing is against the CoC? | 05:20 |
| albuntu | iamelite : and then apply and wait for gparted to finish | 05:20 |
| usser | abe3k_, hm are there anything in /media/sd folders | 05:20 |
| the_dude | amason, falha no segmento - fail on segment | 05:20 |
| izinucs | Bilange, yes.. family friendly channel | 05:20 |
| Ward1983 | the_dude, do you use ubuntu 64bit? | 05:21 |
| abe3k_ | usser : yes all of them are full | 05:21 |
| daaaman64 | anyone know a good pdfeditor besides pdfedit? I just need to get a few pages seperated. | 05:21 |
| the_dude | Ward1983, 32 man | 05:21 |
| iamelite | albuntu, you mean... apply the partition to the free space? | 05:21 |
| amason_ | the_dude: what happens if you remove flash ? | 05:21 |
| Flannel | Bilange: Not to the letter, but gratuitous swearing has no purpose, and certainly isn't considerate towards others. | 05:21 |
| iOpera | daaaman64: pdftk | 05:21 |
| amason_ | the_dude: do you have the same problem then ? | 05:21 |
| the_dude | amason_, flash sites dont work... | 05:21 |
| Bilange | izinucs: i see, I signed that VERY long ago, i cant remember all the details =) | 05:21 |

| izinucs | daaaman64, there is a way with imagemagick but I can't remember how | 05:21 |
| Flannel | !es | wiherna | 05:21 |
| ubottu | wiherna: 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. | 05:21 |
| the_dude | Ward1983, was this, one of them? | 05:21 |
| wiherna | please, somebody can to help me with my wireless? | 05:21 |
| usser | abe3k_, hm try to reboot, they should really show up | 05:21 |
| UnknownDude | ok back...., how do i fix my wireless? | 05:22 |
| abe3k_ | usser : I think it has something to do with the UUID in the beginning of the lines for the ones that are showing in my computer window | 05:22 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | ok... I'm trying to solve it and would like some help... how do i uninstall the driver that autocofigured via fwcutter? | 05:22 |
| Kolie | Is there a kernel optimized for running under vmware esx ? | 05:22 |
| Kolie | ( server ) | 05:22 |
| Ward1983 | the_dude, probably not, it was al 64bit related | 05:22 |
| abe3k_ | usser : if you look at it the only ones showing up are the ones with UUID in the beginning of the line | 05:22 |
| iamelite | albuntu : take partition A off of drive A, and copy it to drive B. (move to) | 05:22 |
| amason_ | the_dude: ok what i am getting at, its that if its a problem with flash then there is nothing any of us can do about it. Its not opensource and we can't fix it. If you get the same problem without the flash plugin we can help. | 05:22 |
| the_dude | Ward1983, this run out thing? | 05:22 |
| izinucs | Bilange, for the protocol.. just try and think that you're married with children and they are in here with you.. curb speech accordingly | 05:22 |
| Ward1983 | the_dude, no you have a totally different problem, i was just asking to make sure it wasnt the same | 05:22 |
| abe3k_ | usser : maybe I'm wrong tho | 05:22 |
| albuntu | iamelite : than just copy paste them | 05:22 |
| the_dude | amason_, plz tell me how do i remove the flash 9... i got it from the youtube site, i thinks thats the problem | 05:23 |

| danbh_intrepid | Geoffrey2: I use vlc if totem doesnt work | 05:24 |
| Flannel | wiherna: Whats the exact output? pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install build-essential" (even if it is in spanish, we will be able to figure it out) | 05:24 |
| abe3k_ | usser : only the sdb6 is showing in the computer window | 05:24 |
| Xavura | Geoffrey2: I like Banshee for music | 05:24 |
| shishio | iamelite: i realy need help | 05:24 |
| the_dude | amason_, downloaded it from the website... and executed | 05:24 |
| iamelite | shishio : strange... double check your sound panel for mute. | 05:24 |
| wiherna | ok flannel | 05:24 |
| Flannel | !paste | wiherna | 05:24 |
| ubottu | wiherna: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 05:24 |
| abe3k_ | usser : the other one is my filesystem and DVD drive | 05:24 |
| amason_ | the_dude: you might be able to remove it by deleting the .libflashplayer file in .mozilla/plugins dir | 05:25 |
| izinucs | Geoffrey2, audacious for compatibility with streamtuner... amorak, rhythmbox.. songbird etc. | 05:25 |
| albuntu | Geoffrey2 : i would say mplayer | 05:25 |
| the_dude | amason_, so the flash was ok, but not the sound and some guy here gave me a patch to give me sound and then this problem began to happen | 05:25 |
| wiherna | give me a moment | 05:25 |
| usser | abe3k_, oh in the computer window. Maybe it searches hdds by uuid | 05:25 |
| Geoffrey2 | I installed Banshee....for some reason it doesn't like playing any kind of video | 05:25 |
| abe3k_ | usser : yes | 05:25 |
| shishio | iamlite : yes its unmuted | 05:25 |
| abe3k_ | usser : how do we aqquire the UUIDs for the the ones we modified ? | 05:25 |
| albuntu | Geoffrey2 : try also checking for the codecs | 05:26 |
| the_dude | amason_, deleted | 05:26 |
| acp_ | which is stable and better to install adibe flash player or Swfdec player for adobe or Gnash? | 05:26 |
| izinucs | Geoffrey2, for video.. vlc, mplayer.. and the restricted codecs.. | 05:26 |
| acp_ | *adobe | 05:26 |
| amason_ | the_dude: yikes. erm.. can you install flash via synaptic now ? | 05:26 |
| Flannel | abe3k_: sudo blkid | 05:26 |
| usser | abe3k_, sudo vol_id /dev/part_name | 05:26 |
| usser | abe3k_, or blkid | 05:26 |
| the_dude | amason_ synaptic is???? that add and remove? | 05:26 |
| wiherna | Flannel... this is my pastebin | 05:26 |
| wiherna | http://pastebin.com/m6f41537 | 05:26 |
| iamelite | shishio : Its very strange that the sound would go out because of a video driver. At least to my experiance. Might be something is claiming your sound, IE an app. | 05:27 |
| amason_ | the_dude: yes | 05:27 |
| abe3k_ | usser : here http://pastebin.com/m7aaeb3f0 | 05:27 |
| usser | abe3k_, anyway the next step is to modify fstab to use uuid but i gotta go to sleep | 05:27 |
| the_dude | amason_, yes im there right now | 05:27 |
| albuntu | the_dude : search for flash in there | 05:27 |
| RHorse | the_dude, I have best success with adobe site, not repos | 05:27 |
| abe3k_ | usser : ok so I put those uuids infront of each drive right ? | 05:27 |
| usser | abe3k_, right so replace the /dev/sd* entries with uuid's | 05:27 |
| Rolcol | Is there a way to downgrade my last upgraded packages? I accepted upgrades to my sound and it messed up something. | 05:27 |
| shishio | iamelite :i only installed my new graphic card, i dun think ive done something that would make my sound disapear :S | 05:27 |
| abe3k_ | usser : ok 1 sec and thanks for helping me | 05:27 |
| albuntu | the_dude : RHorse is right. from the adobe site is better | 05:28 |
| bustaplz | I installed nvidia drivers from the nvidia website on 8.04. Everything seemed to work. I shut down for the night and came back and upon booting was presented with a dialog box telling me I was in low graphics mode and it seems my drivers are not being used at all. I looked at xorg.conf and it's basically empty under the display and device entries. What happened when I rebooted? | 05:28 |
| usser | abe3k_, sure np | 05:28 |
| amason_ | the_dude: ok. fyi its not recommended to install applications via other means than synaptic/ add remove . | 05:28 |

| shishio | iOpera: yes nVidia | 05:29 |
| albuntu | bustaplz : there was no need to install those drivers. you just had to activate them and they will be downloaded from synaptic automatically | 05:29 |
| izinucs | bustaplz, you didn't install correctly.. you can't have the gui loaded when you do it.. from what I understand.. I use the restricted drivers available from ubuntu | 05:29 |
| Rolcol | Is there at least a way to have ubuntu reconfigure all hardware after installation? | 05:29 |
| the_dude | amason_, it was closed man.. | 05:29 |
| amason_ | k | 05:29 |
| iOpera | shishio: what's your kernel version? | 05:29 |
| bustaplz | I've heard about these restricted drivers, where can I install them from? | 05:29 |
| bustaplz | Are they from a different repo? | 05:29 |
| usser | abe3k_, tell me what happens | 05:29 |
| bustaplz | i just uninstalled the drivers that I installed | 05:30 |
| shishio | iOpera: u mean my ubuntu? im using ubuntu 8.10 | 05:30 |
| the_dude | amason_, Shi* it closed, i think it is the plugin man, ill give ya the code wait a sec | 05:30 |

| bernroth | hello everybody! maybe I can get some help or hints here :) I have a HP workstation (4 cores, 10gb ram, 500gb harddisk on a smartarray controller 128mb bbwc...) using with ubuntu 8.04 and I have often serious disk performance problems e.g. working with firefox and having a vmware running | 05:30 |
| izinucs | bustaplz, System/Admin/Hardware Drivers | 05:30 |
| bustaplz | okay | 05:30 |
| bustaplz | so now should I restart? | 05:30 |
| the_dude | amason_, sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 05:30 |
| bernroth | the i/o wait time is just very high and I don't know what to do :) | 05:30 |
| izinucs | bernroth, are the disk problems with the vm? | 05:30 |
| Chris_Foster | Hi, im running ubuntu server, which means I have to window manager, and no autostart directory. So, how do I get the system to run commands after it finished starting up and before I log on? | 05:30 |
| the_dude | amason_, how do i uninstall it? | 05:30 |
| iOpera | shishio: 810...so can not help. i still at 804, but maybe you can check if some package installed. | 05:31 |
| iOpera | wait | 05:31 |
| bernroth | the disk problems are system-wide, not only the vm | 05:31 |
| albuntu | bustaplz : did you activated them ? | 05:31 |
| amason_ | the_dude: which plugin ? | 05:31 |
| Geoffrey2 | mplayer just doesn't seem to play well with my video card.... | 05:31 |
| bustaplz | yes | 05:31 |
| Chris_Foster | sorry I have *no window manager | 05:31 |
| amason_ | the_dude: flash? | 05:31 |
| the_dude | amason_, sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 05:31 |
| the_dude | amason_, that one man ---- sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 05:31 |
| albuntu | Geoffrey2 : thats a codec problem . its not mplayer | 05:31 |
| ajhtiredwolf | im having some mythbuntu/lirc issues. So for some reason, ifi i open mythbuntu, and then close it, lirc stops works, i have to restart it and manually start irxevent irexec daemons. also, mythbuntu crashes when i try to open tv some times, the back end will stop and i have to restart that manually too | 05:31 |
| shishio | iOpera: ok thanks for ur time... i think ill just reinstall ym ubuntu anyways | 05:31 |
| amason_ | the_dude: apt-get remove libflashsupport | 05:31 |
| izinucs | bernroth, that one I can't do.. hopefully someone else will chime in. | 05:31 |
| iOpera | shishio... aptitude search ~ilinux-ubuntu-.*`uname -r` | 05:32 |
| iamelite | shishio : I wouldnt recommend that. | 05:32 |

| izinucs | bernroth, just out of curiosity ... are you using vmware server vs 1.x.x? or beta 2.x? | 05:34 |
| ajhtiredwolf | is there a way to use chmod to give a user read and write permissions to a file, but not delete? | 05:34 |
| the_dude | amason_, i installed flash, then it was with no sound, so i had libflashsupport and then i had sound but sometimes, fire fox ran out... ive reinstalled flash 9 and keeps the problem... | 05:34 |
| iOpera | fvwmnet: . | 05:34 |
| usser | abe3k_, hm whats the error message you get? | 05:34 |
| Kolie | Is there a server kernel optimized for running under vmware esx other then linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server | 05:35 |
| izinucs | ajhtiredwolf, write implies delete | 05:35 |
| albuntu | Chris_Foster : i am not sure but maybe you just have to add them to /etc/init.d | 05:35 |
| abe3k_ | usser : [mntent]: line 7 in /etc/fstab is bad | 05:35 |
| abe3k_ | usser : and so on | 05:35 |

| Patrick_ | Hi, I currently have ubuntu server installed on a 80GB hdd and would like to add two 750GB hdds setup with RAID 1. I've been told to read about mdadm and I have. However, it is still a little unclear to me what it is I need to do. Is there a tutorial out there or anyone willing to help me out on how to setup software raid on such a configuration? | 05:35 |

| albuntu | Geoffrey2 : i am not sure but i think its a codecs problem | 05:36 |

| ajhtiredwolf | IdleOne, i know, but i know its possible, you can do it using the nautalus gui, but i dont have a gui on the server im trying to do this | 05:36 |
| usser | abe3k_, oh man, no of course. if u use uuid remove /dev/sd* part | 05:36 |

| tifine | is it possible to setup a password on a folder or how can you make the folder encrypted ? | 05:37 |
| IdleOne | ajhtiredwolf: well if it is possible with GUI then it is possible without. question now is what the correct permissions would be. I don't know | 05:37 |
| abe3k_ | usser : I'll restart then | 05:37 |
| usser | abe3k_, removed /dev/sd* for all records? | 05:37 |
| ajhtiredwolf | IdleOne, exactly :P me neither | 05:37 |
| albuntu | Geoffrey2 : try sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 05:37 |

| ajhtiredwolf | IdleOne, i google first /join #mythbuntu second | 05:38 |
| tifine | RHorse: gpg | 05:38 |
| amason_ | the_dude: ok. so you have a few options. have a look in the .mozilla/plugins directory and remove libflashplayer.so. See if the crashing problem occurs . If it doesn't then flash is the problem. You might be able to try the adobe forums or look around the internet to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problems. If you still have the problem, you can try removing / reinstalling firefox or you can hang around here and see if other | 05:38 |
| amason_ | poeople know how to fix it. Or you can submit a bug report on launch pade or visit the forums or if you have support from cannonical you can call them. | 05:38 |

| abe3k_ | usser : brb | 05:38 |
| the_dude | amason_, that plugin i had, it was for firefox right fbflash right? | 05:38 |
| amason_ | the_dude: but basically if its a flash problem, its not something that the ubuntu community can fix | 05:39 |
| the_dude | amason_, may i try gnash? | 05:39 |
| amason_ | the_dude: sure. | 05:39 |
| the_dude | amason_, yah ok | 05:39 |
| the_dude | amason_, ill try wait a sec... | 05:39 |
| amason_ | the_dude: i believe adobe also has a flash 10 beta for linux | 05:39 |
| amason_ | which apparently works quite well | 05:39 |
| ajhtiredwolf | IdleOne, samba specific :( | 05:39 |
| Lul2x | Hey, I'm setting up a server and am looking for backup suggestions. Originally, I was thinking of just setting up a software RAID 1 so that if a drive crashed I would have a backup. However, I've been reading more and more that RAID is not a backup solution. What are your views on this? | 05:39 |
| the_dude | amason_, ok... | 05:40 |
| amason_ | but if its a flash issue, you will probably need to get support from adobe or the flash forums | 05:40 |
| albuntu | the_dude : download flash from the adobe site and you will be ok | 05:40 |
| amason_ | the_dude: because like i said, its not free software so there isn't a whole heap we can do | 05:40 |
| Lul2x | do you guys backup your server? If so, how? | 05:40 |
| bustaplz | I'm back | 05:40 |
| bustaplz | Didn't seem to work. | 05:41 |
| bustaplz | How can I tell what driver my system is using? | 05:41 |
| Tim1_ | lul : tape backup? | 05:41 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | would wine allow me to execute the installer of the windows driver | 05:41 |
| iamelite | Would it help my system performance any, if i were to set my swap off of my main drive? | 05:42 |
| usser | Azhi_Dahaka, execute the install or actually use the driver? | 05:42 |
| iOpera | Lul2x: maybe you can use dump/restore command | 05:42 |
| abe3k | usser : Finally ! , everything is there and mounted :D | 05:42 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | because if i have to install windows to get the driver for MAYBE be able to use the wireless from more than 1 meter apart from the router... well | 05:42 |
| abe3k | usser : thanks man for the help and sweet dreams :D | 05:42 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | i need to extract the proper inf | 05:42 |
| izinucs | iamelite, you'll find swap isn't used very much if at all unless you have lots of programs open or are doing heavy graphics/video stuff | 05:43 |
| bernroth | maybe anybody else has i/o performance issues with ubuntu 8.04 x64 ? when a process is accessing the disk, e.g. writing a big file, the other applications are haging/waiting for i/o | 05:43 |
| tifine | does anybody knows the command to encrypt the file, i am trying with using gpg -e filename, but everytime ask me to enter the user id and keep returing the same message !! | 05:43 |
| usser | abe3k_, no problem good luck | 05:43 |
| Tim1_ | do u want to back up the entire system or data drive | 05:43 |
| Lul2x | iOpera, would you use this to backup to another drive in the server or to another computer on the network? | 05:43 |
| abe3k | usser : thanks :) | 05:43 |
| izinucs | Azhi_Dahaka, sometimes you can right mouse click a .exe and extract the files.. then you'll have access to the .inf | 05:43 |
| usser | Azhi_Dahaka, i think what u looking for is cabextract utility on linux, most wifi drivers are packed in .cab archive | 05:43 |
| iOpera | Lul2x: i just test this 2 command before. use "nc" as pipe, do a network backup. | 05:43 |
| Lul2x | I'm basically looking for a good backup method and I thought RAID was the answer... now I'm having my doubts. | 05:43 |
| usser | Azhi_Dahaka, and yea wine would extract a windows archive no problem | 05:43 |
| iamelite | izinucs, I do a great deal of encoding and re-encoding. | 05:44 |
| the_dude | amason_, gnash didnt worked, ive already had this problem, so i have to remove, whats the command line plz... | 05:44 |
| Ward1983 | Lul2x, for just data / files scp works well and pretty secure | 05:44 |
| izinucs | iamelite, next time you do look at the system monitor and see if swap is being used and how much | 05:44 |
| danbh_intrepid | Lul2x: I have heard rumor that RAID should not be used as backup | 05:44 |
| amason_ | Lul2x: RAID is an insurance policy, not a backup solution | 05:44 |
| bofh80 | Lul2x, raid is not a backup solution, backups are usually done incrementally to removable media, such as tape, etc, do you have any such things in place? | 05:44 |
| iOpera | Ward1983: scp is also good way. | 05:45 |
| Ward1983 | danbh_intrepid, offcourse it sohuldnt, if your offcie burns down you wont have a backup | 05:45 |
| Lul2x | I've heard it shouldn't be used for backup either. With these other suggestions, is there a way to do incremental backups so I don't need to do a full backup every time? | 05:45 |
| Ward1983 | iOpera, i know since i suggested it :p | 05:45 |
| iOpera | hehe | 05:45 |
| albuntu | Ward1983 : lol | 05:45 |

| amason_ | the_dude: apt-get | 05:45 |
| Lul2x | bofh80, currently I don't have a backup strategy in place. Actually, I'm just starting to setup my server and am looking to make a plan now | 05:45 |
| albuntu | the_dude : sudo apt-get remove | 05:45 |
| IdleOne | the_dude: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 05:46 |

| iamelite | One more stupid question. On Gparted, wich side, left or right, is the outside edge of my disk? | 05:46 |
| error404notfound | i have install vmware workstation, now when i try to install vmware server, i get: http://pastebin.com/m6908f075, how do i get rid of it? | 05:46 |
| clayg | tritium, it does not, or at least I have not go it to | 05:46 |
| izinucs | iamelite, right I think.. left is at the beginning (in or out not sure) | 05:47 |
| the_dude | thx | 05:47 |
| bofh80 | Lul2x, well your first step is deciding where you want to backup your data too ? | 05:47 |
| RHorse | tifine, have you solved your issue with gpg? | 05:47 |
| Lul2x | ok, I appreciate the help. I will look into the many options that you guys have listed above. One last thing: I would likely be backing up to another drive on my server... is this a good idea? I don't have another computer with the capacity to hold such a backup | 05:47 |
| techman2 | ok, note to self. Don't use screensavers in hardy. | 05:47 |
| Ward1983 | iamelite, if i installed xp and then ubuntu xp was on the left so i would say the right side is the outside of your disk | 05:47 |
| tifine | RHorse: oh well its asking me for the userid and dont have one :P | 05:47 |
| Lul2x | bofh80, yeah, I'll have to decide that too | 05:47 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | ok, i ask again: How do i uninstall the driver that 8/04 autoinstalled via fwcutter? | 05:47 |
| bofh80 | Lul2x, how much data you got ? :) | 05:47 |
| the_dude | amason_, man i think ill just leave it like this, with this fire fox problem, what do you think should i do? | 05:48 |
| tritium | clayg: ? | 05:48 |

| Ward1983 | Lul2x, you could take the drive out and only put it in to backup stuff | 05:49 |

| bofh80 | Lul2x, to be honest, there aren't any comparable backup solutions that i've found that even come close to the freebie version included with XP, let alone full on suites like backupexec,(unless anyone cares to mention any? ) so it's a good idea to decide how your goig to backup first, ie to waht media, as there are various command line solutions like rsync you should defenitily look into, rsync has some nift gui's now i think | 05:52 |

| Ward1983 | bofh80, well actually you can hot plug it but it can go wrong if your unlucky | 05:53 |
| bernroth | I just tried the deadline scheduler and it's still the same... large i/o operations (create vmware snapshot) causes the system to block all other applications | 05:53 |
| usser | abe3k, in fstab that is | 05:53 |

| Ward1983 | bofh80, i actually did it a few times, just connect a SATA drive to the mainboard while my machine was running lol | 05:53 |
| usser | abe3k, oh i see try putting /media/Vista 1 in parenthesis in fstab | 05:54 |
| subdolus | which startup proccess is responsible for showing/hiding those toolbars? | 05:54 |
| cherico | how do i change a VGA to a DVI i keep getting black screen i have a GO driver | 05:54 |
| abe3k | usser : I tried "/media/Vista 1" and it doesn't work | 05:54 |
| RyeBrye | if you have AHCI enabled in your bios, I don't see why you can't hotswap SATA drives | 05:54 |
| bustaplz | Okay I uninstalled the nvidia driver package and enabled the restricted ones. Restarted, same issue system locks up after asking my to configure the safe graphics thing. The only way I can boot is to go into recovery mode and run XFIX. | 05:54 |
| bofh80 | Ward1983, heheheh . sure as long as you don't get a spike, power supplies don't like that much p | 05:54 |
| usser | abe3k, try to escape the space ie /media/Vista\ 1 | 05:54 |
| cherico | how do i change a VGA to a DVI i keep getting black screen i have a GO driver | 05:54 |
| Ward1983 | bofh80, check the connectors, the outer pins are longer, thats so you have less chance to short circuit your drive :p | 05:54 |
| abe3k | usser : didn't work either | 05:54 |
| IdleOne | !patience > cherico | 05:54 |
| ubottu | cherico, please see my private message | 05:54 |
| usser | abe3k, make sure your folder exists in media linux is case sensitive | 05:54 |
| Ward1983 | bofh80, yes but i am lucky enough to have a really nice power supply :) | 05:55 |
| Lul2x | bofh80, Ward1983 , the main issue I guess is that I mainly work from my laptop, which has a 120GB drive. I take a lot of photos, which eat up space very quickly. My idea of a solution was to start storing all my photos on my server and access them there. | 05:55 |
| abe3k | usser : yeah it exists with the case sensitivity | 05:55 |
| the_dude | is opera better than firefox? | 05:55 |
| Lul2x | bofh80, I would then need a backup of those | 05:55 |
| Ward1983 | bofh80, i did a great great deal some time ago buying a second hand machine | 05:55 |
| subdolus | cmon guys! I can't figure out what I should re-enable!! | 05:55 |
| abe3k | usser : keeps telling me the line is wrong | 05:55 |
| iOpera | the_dude: right | 05:55 |
| iOpera | :D | 05:55 |
| izinucs | Lul2x, turn the server into a NAS or ftp server | 05:55 |
| the_dude | iOpera, hahah | 05:55 |
| Lul2x | bofh80, I could be doing this very inefficiently though... I'm not sure if using the server as a default save location is the best idea | 05:55 |
| usser | abe3k, hm ok try this /media/Vista\0401 | 05:55 |
| the_dude | iOpera, from you... huu... i expected... | 05:56 |
| RyeBrye | AHCI enables you to hot-swap SATA drives | 05:56 |
| Lul2x | izinucs, well, I was thinking of making the server readable from Windows as a network drive via Samba... is this along the same lines? | 05:56 |
| abe3k | usser : ok no errors :D | 05:56 |
| abe3k | usser : let me see if my files are there :) | 05:56 |
| Ward1983 | Lul2x, the server is ok, but you sohuld have a backup aswell imo | 05:56 |
| bofh80 | Lul2x, it depends if the load times on the files are going to bother you over the network as such | 05:56 |
| iamelite | I cant migrate the swap to the other drive says its busy and locked, but i dont need to do it? Or can i replicate the partition. Im not entirely sure how important it is. | 05:56 |
| abe3k | usser : successful mount ! :D | 05:56 |
| Ward1983 | Lul2x, preferably a different machine or even different location | 05:57 |
| usser | abe3k, cool :) | 05:57 |
| abe3k | usser : 1 problem :P | 05:57 |
| usser | abe3k, shoot | 05:57 |
| abe3k | usser : the sdc3 is still full of folders and files | 05:57 |
| abe3k | usser : unmount it maybe ? | 05:57 |
| Flannel | iamelite: swap isn't important. The data in it at any given time is temporary. You'll likely want to create a new swap partition on your new drive, but the contents of the old one don't matter/exist/have any substance/etc | 05:57 |
| bofh80 | Lul2x, yes samba is probably what you want to use. unfortunatley, the better alternatives are a bit well, less used i spose. like NFS which again i don't know how to setup, cos samba is more popular with gui's etc :P | 05:57 |
| UnknownIdiot | how do i get my side scroller??? | 05:57 |
| iamelite | Flannel, just what i needed to know. thx muxh | 05:58 |
| abe3k | usser : the folder in the media that we just made | 05:58 |
| usser | abe3k, yes sudo umount /media/sdc3 | 05:58 |
| abe3k | usser : ok 1 sec | 05:58 |
| Ward1983 | samba? :o | 05:58 |
| Ward1983 | i really really really hate samba lol | 05:58 |
| Tim1_ | you would need to setup samba on ur unix system | 05:59 |
| abe3k | usser : Cool stuffs ! :D | 05:59 |
| iOpera | Ward1983: like sshfs? | 05:59 |
| Lul2x | bofh80, load times may become an issue. I wonder how well my photo cataloguing program (Lightroom) would read files over my network | 05:59 |
| abe3k | usser : thanks again man :D | 05:59 |
| UnknownIdiot | please i really need my touchpad scroller | 05:59 |
| Tim1_ | then access NT network group and file server with samba | 05:59 |
| izinucs | Lul2x, you'd be supprised. | 05:59 |
| Ward1983 | iOpera, much better :) | 05:59 |
| usser | abe3k, no problem | 05:59 |
| iOpera | :D | 05:59 |
| bofh80 | Lul2x, gigabit networkin could fix that tho :) | 05:59 |
| Lul2x | Ward1983, I agree. I just don't have another machine that is always going, which is part of my problem | 05:59 |
| Tim1_ | samba is being used on xerox work horses | 05:59 |
| abe3k | usser : now go sleep before I come up with something else xD | 06:00 |
| Lul2x | izinucs, even over wireless? Do you have any experience you could share :) | 06:00 |
| Tim1_ | u would do the scanning work on xerox machines and then use samba to save on nt boxes | 06:00 |
| subdolus | Maybe 'toolbar' isnt the right word... | 06:00 |
| subdolus | I'm talking about the bar at the very top of all windows | 06:00 |
| usamahashimi | Hello everyone! | 06:00 |
| drumstyk1 | would anyone be willing to walk me through how to setup a static ip in ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| iOpera | subdolus: panel? | 06:00 |
| subdolus | where you can click minimize, maximise, restore, exit etc | 06:00 |
| usamahashimi | Kindly help me about that; http://pastebin.com/m5d5d1ab6 | 06:00 |
| Lul2x | bofh80, gigabit is limited by wireless though, right? | 06:01 |
| izinucs | Lul2x, wireless is another issue.. it might be manageable.. Lightroom isn't a speed demon anyway.. | 06:01 |
| subdolus | (in the top right) | 06:01 |
| Tim1_ | light zone or light room | 06:01 |
| bofh80 | Lul2x, again, for this rsync would probably be the best bet for keeping a backup on another drive . . . so just focus on samba and rsync and you have a solution | 06:01 |
| qbmaniac | hey guys!!! | 06:01 |
| subdolus | is that called a title bar maybe? instead of toolbar? | 06:01 |
| Lul2x | izinucs, lol, this is true | 06:01 |
| subdolus | or panel? | 06:01 |
| qbmaniac | how is everyone tonight? | 06:01 |
| Ward1983 | Lul2x, depends what speed your wireless connection has | 06:01 |
| iOpera | subdolus: decor | 06:01 |
| ljsoftnet | when i connect an external hard disk enclosure to a usb, can i copy files in to it rigth away, or i have to format it first? | 06:01 |
| bofh80 | Lul2x, would be idea to get it up , and test it, rather than speculate | 06:01 |
| Ward1983 | Lul2x, lol gigabit is WAY faster then any wireless | 06:01 |

| subdolus | now there are no top bars | 06:02 |
| Lul2x | bofh80, ok, I will look into setting that up. It probably isn't the perfect solution but you're right--testing is better than speculating | 06:02 |
| subdolus | for any app | 06:02 |
| qbmaniac | anyone free to help me out for a minute with gnome? | 06:02 |
| abe3k | usser : ok xD | 06:02 |

| Chris_Foster | qbmaniac: ask your question, dont ask to ask a question :) | 06:02 |
| Ward1983 | Lul2x, if you dont use raw pictures or any craszy large resolutions it should work fine | 06:02 |
| Chris_Foster | Im running ubuntu server, and when I hook up my external harddrive and boot up, then access it with ssh from a remote computer. Its not there, any idea whats going on? | 06:02 |

| iOpera | daaaman64: :D | 06:03 |
| Chris_Foster | qbmaniac: its alright, i did it the first time I came here and got the same response I gave you :) | 06:03 |
| izinucs | Chris_Foster, do you know the mount point of the external driver? | 06:03 |
| Lul2x | If it came down to it, I could always a)connect via a wired connection and upgrade to gigabit or b) buy an external drive specifically for my pictures and attach it to my laptop and store all my other files on the server (movies, music, docs, etc) | 06:03 |
| ljsoftnet | when i connect an external hard disk enclosure to a usb, can i copy files in to it rigth away, or i have to format it first? | 06:03 |
| daaaman64 | powerful little command line tool | 06:03 |
| subdolus | if that's what its' called - decor, then yes iOpera | 06:03 |
| Chris_Foster | izinucs: no, shouldn't it be in media, though? | 06:03 |

| MTecknology | Slade: restart? | 07:29 |
| MTecknology | !dvd | smokeleazy | 07:29 |
| ubottu | smokeleazy: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 07:29 |
| jim_p | sledge: sorry, i meant the name of the executable . quake3's name is quake3.x86 | 07:29 |
| Slade | MTecknology, 4 times | 07:29 |
| MTecknology | Slade: what does top tell you? | 07:30 |
| jim_p | MTecknology: do an lspci and paste the output in pastebin, or check yourself if it says bluetooth somewhere in ythere | 07:30 |
| Slade | top tells me everything is fine | 07:30 |
| Slade | i just ran updaet manager and updated everything | 07:30 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | how do i uninstall kubuntu? | 07:31 |
| jim_p | sledge: ok. try this " sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss " | 07:32 |
| jim_p | sledge: sorry | 07:32 |
| sledge | ya i tried that | 07:32 |
| MTecknology | jim_p: I'm not seeing it - http://pastebin.com/d43dfbdb7 | 07:32 |
| sledge | jim_p: permission denied | 07:32 |
| jim_p | sledge: enable the root account then and do it as root | 07:33 |
| sledge | Azhi_Dahaka: change your gui back to GNOME | 07:33 |
| Slade | guess not | 07:33 |
| Slade | running firefox is still causing this problem | 07:33 |
| Slade | wonder what happens if i uninsall firefox | 07:33 |
| sledge | jim_p: i dont know how to enable the root acount | 07:33 |
| jim_p | sledge: i enabled the root account only for this | 07:33 |
| jim_p | sledge: sudo passwd root | 07:33 |
| jim_p | sledge: give it a pass and remember it | 07:33 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | uninstall kubuntu, not change back to gnome | 07:33 |
| jim_p | sledge: and use su + the pass and retry that command | 07:34 |
| sledge | ok | 07:34 |
| digdug | I would have guessed that using gnome and uninstalling kde is how you "uninstall" kubuntu as well | 07:34 |
| sledge | jim_p: seems to have worked | 07:34 |
| jim_p | MTecknology: no bluetooth there, sorry. it bay be "bundled" with the wireless though | 07:34 |

| MTecknology | I bought a bluetooth adapter and wanted to make sure I don't need to fight w/ something that's already there too | 07:38 |
| assargadon | hi there. What is the right strategy for selecting of usb-bluetooth adapter for using with Ubuntu? | 07:38 |
| Slade | is there anything else i can use to watch flash videos on the net? Firefox seems to be having a hissy fit | 07:38 |
| sledge | jim_p it keeps messing up my screen resolutions | 07:38 |
| MTecknology | assargadon: I just ordered one but no idea how it'll play out | 07:38 |
| cool-nick | hey guys | 07:38 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | found it nice, and wanted to test the other desktop managers... so, i installed kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop | 07:38 |
| sledge | Slade ya theres another player.. look up in the pacakge manager for flash playert | 07:39 |
| MTecknology | Azhi_Dahaka: I like openbox | 07:39 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | however, uninstalling kubuntu-desktop leaves EVERYTHIG behind | 07:39 |
| jim_p | sledge: enemy territory? | 07:39 |

| smokeleazy | does anyone know what I can do to get my drive to playa dvd? | 07:42 |
| jim_p | !dvd > smokeleazy | 07:42 |
| ubottu | smokeleazy, please see my private message | 07:42 |
| digdug | I think it should have been et.x86 instead of quake3.x86 before | 07:42 |
| frybye | smok - you probably need to install restricted packages or buy codecs etc.. | 07:42 |
| Slade | im really beginning to hate this machine. It's a dualcore 3ghz with 2GB of ram. It shouldn't lock up like this | 07:42 |
| cool-nick | jim_p: no cuz i can upload them in my house but i can't in the internet cafes. I don't want to upload the files in my house cuz it's too slow | 07:42 |
| digdug | as in, echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss" | 07:43 |
| jim_p | MTecknology: heva a look at this http://www.mobileincanada.com/laptop-42-en-Sony-VGNFZ240E-VAIO.html | 07:43 |
| digdug | minus that last " | 07:43 |
| frybye | Slade - if it is new take it back to the store.. | 07:43 |
| smokeleazy | i tried reinstalling the restricted packages | 07:43 |
| Slade | i have to send it back to Tiger direct | 07:43 |
| Slade | in pieces... | 07:43 |
| MTecknology | jim_p: THANKS! :D | 07:43 |
| frybye | Slade depends of course a bit on what you are doing with it I gues.. ;( | 07:43 |
| jim_p | MTecknology: too bad though for a 1500$ notebook not to have bluetooth. sony is all looks as it seems | 07:44 |
| smokeleazy | i have installed libdvdcss | 07:44 |
| cool-nick | any ideas?? | 07:44 |
| Slade | im begining to wonder if the CPU fan isn't mounted properly.I remember having a problem mounting it... | 07:44 |
| node357 | Slade, yeah that could be one reason for it freezing | 07:44 |
| jim_p | sledge: can you go through the problems again? | 07:44 |
| MTecknology | jim_p: ya, i noticed it's pretty fast - it's altogether a pretty solid system too - I don't like that there's no latch on the screen though - kayboard is a dream | 07:44 |
| frybye | Slade - with mine the little rubber retainers tend to sever thru and then the fan goes "walk about..." ;( | 07:45 |
| Slade | brb, gonna check the CPU fan | 07:45 |
| jim_p | MTecknology: your call then | 07:45 |
| MTecknology | jim_p: I already have the system - have for a year almost - never considered using bluetooth though | 07:46 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | i don't like totem... which other program do you guys recommend | 07:46 |
| jim_p | Azhi_Dahaka: mplayer + smplayer | 07:46 |

| Atax | Good morning, anyone know what the standard mail program under linux/ubuntu is, and where to configure it's pop3 and smtp settings? (I mean standard-shell program) | 07:51 |
| sudoconfused | what's good about it? | 07:51 |
| jim_p | Atax: evolution | 07:51 |
| jim_p | !evolution | 07:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution | 07:51 |
| bentenrai | iOpera you there? | 07:52 |
| Atax | Evolution is not a shell program, is it? | 07:52 |
| jim_p | sledge: how do you quit the game? with console > /quit? | 07:52 |
| yao_ziyuan | now my ubuntu is running extremely slowly | 07:52 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | so... ubottu is a Intelligent Design nut? | 07:52 |
| yao_ziyuan | i fear i'm a zombie now | 07:52 |
| sledge | jim_p: no.. | 07:52 |
| sledge | jim_p are the console commands the same as quake4 or 4 | 07:53 |
| sledge | 3 | 07:53 |
| sledge | FOV | 07:53 |
| jim_p | sledge: more or less the same. tell me one | 07:53 |
| unop | Atax, it depends on what you mean by a "shell program" - if you mean, can it be invoked from the shell given options, then yes it is - if you mean, does it spit out output to the shell that can be meaningfully parsed by unix tools and scripts that read from STDIN, then no | 07:54 |
| pageold | hai | 07:54 |
| pageold | anyone available here? | 07:54 |
| digdug | does ubuntu even come with a shell mail program already installed? that could be why jim said to use evolution, it's not a command line program, but it is the one that comes installed standard | 07:54 |
| pageold | got prob booting ubuntu on my latop | 07:54 |
| unop | digdug, i believe exim4 provides the mail command. | 07:55 |
| jim_p | digdug: one like mail? mail is command line only | 07:55 |
| digdug | yeah, I'm assuming that's what atax was asking for | 07:55 |
| jim_p | digdug: but you need to set up your pc as a mailserver to use it | 07:55 |

| xbxb | I accidently deleted my whole home dir -- which isn# | 07:56 |

| jim_p | pageold: restore grub | 07:56 |
| xbxb | I accidently deleted my whole home dir -- which isn't as bad because it's a new install -- but do I have to re-install the whole system now? | 07:56 |
| unop | digdug, the reason being - you need a mail program to read local mail, as sent out by services like cron. | 07:57 |
| digdug | so while the command gives meaningful feedback, it doesn't appear to be installed | 07:57 |
| jim_p | !grub | pageold | 07:57 |

| Sa[i]nT | microwaver: It should be in your repo's. Mine came with that at default. | 09:16 |
| microwaver | Sa[i]nT, my bad again. | 09:16 |
| icesword | ZCool, yes, and stop speaking Chinese, thx | 09:16 |
| microwaver | Sa[i]nT, perhaps since I'm using Xubuntu instead of ubuntu | 09:16 |
| ZCool | ¸Â¸Â | 09:17 |
| microwaver | Sa[i]nT, nope, already installed | 09:17 |
| heyhd | would anyone here be well versed in semaphores? | 09:17 |
| Sa[i]nT | microwaver: Make sure you add -o "genisoimage -o os_1.iso /media/cdrom/ | 09:17 |
| clouder`grr | moda1: ok sorry. try what mosfet says, I have no experience with ubuntu on usb | 09:17 |
| microwaver | Sa[i]nT, touched the .iso | 09:18 |
| moda1 | Okay I will restart and press escape | 09:18 |
| clouder`grr | moda1: try esc or del, It's del on my computer to get into bios settings | 09:19 |

| X3 | you can build a bootable USB drive with ultraiso | 09:19 |
| moda1 | Okay I did it. No luck, it says GRUB error 21 | 09:20 |
| moda1 | That's what I got when I selected the hard drive with Vista. | 09:20 |
| Sa[i]nT | microwaver: genisoimage -o cd.iso cd_dir <-- That -should- work. | 09:20 |
| moda1 | But I'm sure its still there. I was very careful to select the USB drive as the place of installation | 09:20 |
| ravtux | moda1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 | 09:21 |
| X3 | moda1: do you have both sata/ide drives | 09:21 |
| microwaver | Sa[i]nT, and then you get a very active terminal , right ? | 09:22 |
| Sa[i]nT | microwaver: Yeah, it's verbose. | 09:22 |
| moda1 | So if I burn a super grub CD and try to boot from that, can I get rid of GRUB and get Vista back? | 09:22 |
| ravtux | moda1: Boot into the original Linux system with the external hard drive still installed (or you can boot from a Live Ubuntu CD). | 09:22 |
| ravtux | moda1: Open up a terminal and type sudo su | 09:23 |
| ravtux | moda1: Type fdisk -l and locate your Linux boot partition from the list Example: sda1 or hda1 | 09:23 |
| ravtux | moda1: Type grub-install /dev/sdx or grub-install /dev/hdx to reinstall or repair Grub! | 09:23 |
| ravtux | moda1: Reboot and test! | 09:23 |
| clouder`grr | wow that sucks balls, am I wrong in thinking that if ms still gave actuall disks, this could be solved with a simple restore mbr? | 09:24 |
| clouder`grr | well not ms but the vendor | 09:24 |
| ravtux | moda1: Notes: x represents the drive letter a, b, c, d etc. Replace with your actual drive letter. | 09:24 |
| ravtux | moda1: sdx= SATA, SCSI or USB devices hdx= IDE devices | 09:25 |
| moda1 | okay, thank you so much ravtux! Can I also remove Grub from there so as to go back to a single boot windows system? | 09:25 |
| moda1 | I'm going to stick with Ubuntu on my laptop and windows on my desktop for now! | 09:26 |
| gerhard | hey | 09:26 |
| moda1 | dual booting is too complicated. | 09:26 |
| gerhard | i have a problem: my audacious player wont work | 09:27 |
| ravtux | moda1: | 09:27 |
| ravtux | In order to remove the GRUB bootloader from a Linux and Windows XP machine, boot with a Windows 9x startup disk or CD and execute the MS-DOS command: | 09:27 |
| ravtux | fdisk /mbr | 09:27 |
| gerhard | when i launch it, i get an error "segmentation error" | 09:27 |
| ravtux | moda1: what version of windows are you using again? | 09:27 |
| moda1 | vista | 09:28 |
| ravtux | moda1: hmm | 09:28 |
| clouder`grr | ravtux: he said he doean't have a disk | 09:28 |
| gerhard | i reinstalled it twice but it doesnt change anything | 09:28 |
| moda1 | does that mean I'm screwed | 09:28 |
| clouder`grr | it's one of those partitions restore things | 09:28 |
| ravtux | moda1: no Vista DVD? | 09:28 |
| moda1 | no its OEM | 09:28 |
| RoflCoptr | moda1: it should (have been) possible to create rescue media | 09:28 |
| ravtux | moda1: then just restore your grub as I showed you already | 09:29 |
| RoflCoptr | if you missed it - you#re screwed | 09:29 |
| moda1 | Oh yes, I have restore disks. | 09:29 |
| RoflCoptr | so you're good to go | 09:29 |
| moda1 | But then I'd lose what's on my hdd right? | 09:29 |
| ravtux | moda1: try the grub restore first | 09:29 |
| Sa[i]nT | My Acer came with Vista OEM, and had rescue disks.. | 09:29 |
| ravtux | moda1: nope you would just be able to dual boot | 09:29 |
| moda1 | okay, I'll boot into live CD again. Thank you so much guys! | 09:30 |

| linny | Cheek1 and malware and viruses are very rare if not non existent on linux | 09:40 |

| Cheek1 | linny: thats wat i read and it can read it but wont execute it . | 09:40 |
| moda1 | okay, so it says that this command will uninstall Grub # dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 | 09:40 |
| moda1 | the usb thing is sdg | 09:41 |
| IntuitiveNipple | moda1: That command will WIPE OUT the disk's partition table | 09:41 |
| moda1 | Yikes | 09:42 |
| spidla | moda1 : that is really dangerous command :) | 09:44 |
| moda1 | Double Yikes. Okay, so if I go grub-install /dev/hda (hda is where windows is) | 09:44 |
| moda1 | I will be able to repair grub and get back into windows? | 09:44 |
| moda1 | I'm going to download a super grub CD and hopefully that will allow me to get back into windows | 09:47 |

| PecisDarbs | anyone else got hosed ff3 with hardy last update? | 09:49 |
| spidla | moda1 : there can be two problems 1) missing GRUB in boot sector 2) wrong menu.lst configuration | 09:49 |
| gerhard | still a segmentation error | 09:49 |
| IntuitiveNipple | spidla: or 3) Installed GRUB to hard disk in error (was supposed to install to USB stick!) | 09:49 |
| spidla | hey ... okey ... I wasnt here for whole discussion .. sorry about that | 09:50 |
| moda1 | spidla: or 3) Installed GRUB to hard disk in error (was supposed to install to USB stick!) Yes, this is what I did. | 09:50 |

| moda1 | no linux on hard disk, just grub, where windows bootloader is supposed to be | 09:52 |
| moda1 | yes exactly | 09:52 |
| IntuitiveNipple | moda1: You've got Vista, right? | 09:52 |
| moda1 | yes | 09:52 |
| VSpike | moda1: then I think the problem is to fix the windows boot sector, no? | 09:52 |
| VSpike | moda1: that can be done with the windows cd | 09:52 |
| moda1 | I only have the recovery disks for my OEM windows | 09:52 |

| VSpike | t7th_Sense: nope, but it does start with a lower case "s" | 10:01 |
| zamba | VSpike: ah, cool | 10:01 |
| IntuitiveNipple | moda1: Yes, but you'll end up needing a dual-boot setup, since with GRUB it needs somewhere to install the boot menu etc | 10:01 |

| ActionParsnip | theres a guide | 10:32 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ActionParsnip: Yes, I wrote it! | 10:32 |
| ||arifaX | zamba: if you bend a metal and bend it back it won't be exactly as before. the magnetic particles on your hardrive wouln't bend back 100% so someone could guess how they were before so 3-5 times should fix that. does that help your understanding? | 10:32 |
| moda1 | I finally realized: the absolute worst thing about microsoft is that they don't even give you a windows install disc when you buy a windows computer. | 10:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | ActionParsnip: However, there is no need for that to install the driver! That is just an example for other Ubuntu kernel dev's on how to package using DKMS :) | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | zamba: if you are that paranoid id just physically destroy it with a sledgehammer and buy new | 10:33 |
| IntuitiveNipple | moda1: Yeah... I'm digging through the Vista install on this laptop to extract the MBR for you | 10:33 |
| EdLin | guess not.. | 10:33 |

| frybye | moda1 - I am not generally too keen to defend ms but why should you get more than a widows recovery disk when the os is only liscenced for one pc...? (Looking at it from their point of view i mean...?) | 10:34 |

| d_dyer-1 | Thanks | 10:38 |
| blak | so i would have [ntfs 20gig][/boot 50mb ext3][/home ext3 1gig][/ (main ubuntu install) ext3 58.5gig] | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | np | 10:39 |
| Miesco | ActionParsnip: The knas01.sl.on.ca is apparently 142.155.224.1 | 10:39 |
| blak | That would work? | 10:39 |
| === suparjo_parmin is now known as co_bya5a | ||
| ActionParsnip | Miesco: then when you connect it will go via the vpn | 10:39 |
| blak | ActionParsnip: does that look like that partitioning scheme int hat order would work? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | blak: you can have it in any order | 10:40 |
| blak | ActionParsnip: and does moving my current ubuntu install 15 gigs back on the harddrive destroy it at all? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | blak: as long as the byte counts are concurrent | 10:40 |
| blak | ActionParsnip: I think though, that the winxp ntfs has to be first though | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | blak: anything like that as risks, ive never done it as i plan my partitions but ive seen folks do it ok. if your data is important, back it up | 10:41 |
| moda1 | frybye: the thing is that the windows CD has handy things like recovery tools that you can't get otherwise. | 10:41 |
| blak | ActionParsnip: Then after that I make a /boot for grub to dual boot and then i can have my ubuntu ext3 | 10:41 |
| d_dyer-1 | Also,is there a way i can update My Intel Video Drivers | 10:41 |
| blak | ActionParsnip: OK, thanks, i will back up what is important definitely, good advice! | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | blak: no, the active partition you want to boot must be marked as active | 10:42 |
| quentusrex | how do I get ls to output the full file name? I need to know which directory the file is in. | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | blak: you should have a regular backup anyroad, what if your har drive fails? | 10:42 |
| blak | ActionParsnip: So would i have to put /boot partition first to dual boot or can the ntfs be first? | 10:42 |
| quentusrex | I'm trying to do this command: ls -RUld|grep xml | 10:42 |

| quentusrex | but it doesn't show me which directory has the files that respond. | 10:42 |
| frybye | modal - right I am not saying that it is not a good idea to "organise-" yourself a windows cd.. i am just saying that ms will not put a lot of importance on making it easier for folks to try install xp/vista on additional machin es when the liscence is alledegly tied to a particular device... | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | blak: im unsure, i always leave /boot as a folde on / | 10:43 |

| tyberion | IcyPolecat: i tried to set up mutt once but I had trouble with it:< | 11:10 |
| ikonia | dundee why are you compiling alsa | 11:10 |
| ikonia | dundee: also you shouldn't be using dmseg to debug compiler issues | 11:11 |
| PEAKTOP810 | collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [ircd] Error 1 What's wrong? | 11:11 |
| dundee | ikonia: because I switched to OSS, but it didn't work properly | 11:11 |
| ikonia | dundee alsa is in the ubuntu repos you don't need to compile it | 11:11 |
| ikonia | PEAKTOP810: what ar eyou compiling and why | 11:11 |
| dundee | ikonia: I tried to reinstall alsa from repo but this doesn't work....no sound | 11:12 |
| PEAKTOP810 | Unrealircd | 11:12 |
| ikonia | dundee so why do you think compiling it will fix it ? | 11:12 |
| IcyPolecat | tyberion: it's tricky to get started but there are some great resources on the net. and once you'v got it configured it's a dream to use | 11:12 |
| dundee | ikonia: Because it's everywhere in howtos :) | 11:13 |

| ikonia | |Dreams| look into upnp | 11:14 |
| cactusy1 | what the fuck did you guys say about ubuntu being user friendly? | 11:14 |
| dundee | ikonia: I tried before load alsa module as well (before compilation), but it also told me about unknown symbol. | 11:14 |
| |Dreams| | ok thanks | 11:14 |
| cactusy1 | it wont even boot, this is worse than windows | 11:14 |
| dundee | ikonia: What can it mean? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | dundee means a module it depends on is not present or the correct version | 11:15 |
| dundee | ikonia: ok | 11:15 |
| ikonia | PEAKTOP810: there are threads on unrealircd.com's forums about how to build it on ubuntu | 11:15 |
| tyberion | IcyPolecat: got a link for it then ill give it a try | 11:15 |
| tyberion | once again that is | 11:15 |
| PEAKTOP810 | ok | 11:16 |
| ikonia | PEAKTOP810: there are also many irc daemons pre-compiled in the ubuntu repos for example ircd-hybrid ircd-irc2 ircd-ircu ircd-ratbox | 11:16 |
| IcyPolecat | tyberion: of course getting postfizx (or your MTA of choice) and fetchmail working first also helps - and make sure you're delivering to maildir - makes much more sense in the long run | 11:16 |

| ikonia | dundee: thats probably caused by the modules for your sound card not being loaded | 11:26 |
| LegoalsFaol | #kde, thanks! #kubuntu is a little desolated | 11:26 |
| JimmyDee | yes, but I failed to find the error except in the dpkg log | 11:27 |
| casanova- | Is there embedded ubuntu available for MIPS? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | casanova- not yet | 11:27 |
| dundee | ikonia: ok, I know that they are not loaded.. | 11:27 |
| JimmyDee | MIBS! | 11:27 |
| casanova- | ikonia and one more Q ... are ubuntu binaries yet fully debian-compatible? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | JimmyDee try loading/starting the package manually | 11:27 |
| ikonia | casanova- debian compatible ? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | casanova-: do you mean will they run on debian ? | 11:27 |
| casanova- | ikonia i've had issues with building debian packages from Debian on ubuntu | 11:27 |
| SmokeyD | ok, found the solution: apt-cache policy <packagename> shows the repository | 11:28 |
| ikonia | casanova- thats understandably | 11:28 |
| JimmyDee | from debian on ubuntu? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | casanova-: the debian source packages are aimed at debian | 11:28 |
| casanova- | yeah | 11:28 |
| JimmyDee | eh? | 11:28 |
| JimmyDee | use the repos | 11:28 |
| casanova- | ikonia i think there's a rather small but sometimes significant difference in the way the distro is built. Libs. | 11:28 |
| AMD007 | ikonia : i used this command a2enmod, & it said rewrite module is already available, though its not detecting my .htaccess file in my project directory | 11:28 |
| ikonia | casanova- yes, there is | 11:28 |
| casanova- | JimmyDee when you do distro/application development on custom hardware, it's understandable you want to build from source. | 11:29 |
| ikonia | casanova- as far as I'm aware it's not intended to be compatible, it's just based on debian, not compatible with debian | 11:29 |
| JimmyDee | absolutely | 11:29 |
| ikonia | AMD007 configure apache then | 11:29 |
| Cheek1 | can some one help me please it took .. me 4-5 mins ... to get into this room can some one please help me figure why my ubuntu box is acting all sluggish and some of the codecs donest work ? | 11:29 |
| casanova- | ikonia yeah, i've heard Shuttleworth himself explain that. I was in the dev team for the first release, but i kinda dropped out because of my dayjob | 11:29 |
| JimmyDee | define all sluggish? | 11:30 |
| AMD007 | ikonia : apache is working perfact, its just not detecting .htaccess file | 11:30 |
| casanova- | ikonia i like the bounty system though. | 11:30 |
| ikonia | AMD007 so it's not working perfectly | 11:30 |
| ikonia | casanova- doesn't everyone | 11:30 |
| AMD007 | ikonia : i installed a lamp-server using tasksel & its installed fine | 11:31 |
| mick02 | Morning | 11:31 |
| ikonia | AMD007 installed and working are two different things | 11:31 |
| mick02 | I was wondering if anyone has ever set up an ODBC connection in Open Office to connect to a mySQL database? | 11:31 |
| JimmyDee | installed and functional, and production | 11:31 |
| AMD007 | ikonia : leave it, i dont think u can solve this, bye | 11:31 |
| ikonia | AMD007 you need to configure mod_rewrite beyond "enabling" it and you need to make sure things like your doc roots are setup to pickup your .htaccess files | 11:32 |
| ikonia | AMD007: #apache would be a better place to get specific config help | 11:32 |
| AMD007 | ikonia : ok thanks, i know u r busy | 11:33 |

| BlackDesign | linny, why did you purge your folder? | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste icnpunk | 12:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about paste icnpunk | 12:28 |
| icnpunk | I haven't met those | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste | icnpunk | 12:28 |
| ubottu | icnpunk: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 12:28 |
| linny | BlackDesign because the plugin in it wasnt working | 12:28 |
| BlackDesign | linny, no backup? | 12:28 |
| linny | so i figured i would delete it and start again | 12:29 |
| arvind_khadri | hi, i have a set of *.jpg wanted to make a movie out of them...which package?? | 12:29 |
| Omeil | ActionParsnip, Yeah i am, this is the postim getting in the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/54965/ | 12:29 |
| Cheek1 | ActionParsnip: when i first was setting my ubuntu up i chose ALSA .. also now when i right clicked the sound icon in the tray on the top right hand side and clicked volume control preferences it shows "HDA inetel (ALSA mixer)" | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | arvind_khadri: you can make an animated gif with gimp | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Omeil: then its installed to ~/.wine/c_drive/......stuff | 12:30 |
| linny | BlackDesign: well there was only 1 file in there libflashplayer.so | 12:30 |
| Omeil | ActionParsnip, I didn't install it via wine tho, i dragged it over from windows partition, should i reinstall WoW? | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Omeil: yes as it needs a shedload of otherstuff, not just that folder. if that was the case itd be pirated like crazy | 12:31 |
| BlackDesign | linny, you could open synaptic and download libflashplayer.so again | 12:31 |
| Cheek1 | ActionParsnip: when i hold my mouse over a mp3 it starts to play but no sound from videos online | 12:31 |
| arvind_khadri | ActionParsnip, thanks... but wanted to make .avi | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | Omeil, you could copy it to .wine/c_drive/program files, then try running it from there. | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Omeil: install then you could try overwriting some files with those ones but afaik you need to install properl | 12:31 |
| linny | shall i remove the one i have in there now first ? | 12:31 |
| Omeil | I will reinstall it properly atleast maybe it will run better than it is. | 12:32 |
| linny | i did it with the adobe installer | 12:32 |
| BlackDesign | Not necessary I think... Just say reinstall that files | 12:32 |

| pronoy_ | can anyone help me with virtual box for linux ???? | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !virtualbox | pronoy_ | 12:34 |
| ubottu | pronoy_: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | BB88, you could use ssh/scp/sshfs to copy some files back and forth btweeen 2 linux machines.. the shared folder thing sets up samba shares.. what is best - depends on what all you are wanting to do, and how many files you want to move around | 12:35 |
| pronoy_ | ActionParsnip: I have installed it but now when iam making a virtual machine...upon starting : virtualbox kernel not installed | 12:35 |
| BB88 | dr_willis, I ideally want to move my music files to and fro, around 4000 mp3's at the moment | 12:35 |
| linny | lol do i feel dumb it works i didnt think of looking in the repos as i knew it was propiatary | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | BB88, copy all of them from one place to another? or just access them remotely? | 12:36 |
| pronoy_ | ActionParsnip: how do i get vboxdrv kernel // | 12:36 |
| pronoy_ | ????????/ | 12:36 |
| BB88 | dr_willis, copy them from one place to another | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | pronoy_: you need the vbox kernel matching your kernel name | 12:36 |
| WasserDragoon | hi there... where can i find the animated desktop cat widget? | 12:36 |
| pronoy_ | ActionParsnip: I need to install windows.... | 12:36 |
| WasserDragoon | i already searched at google but no results :-( | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | pronoy_: no | 12:37 |
| pronoy_ | ActionParsnip: sorry ??? | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | pronoy_: uname -a; sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-<kernel version> | 12:37 |
| amanulla | ActionParsnip:what is this mencoder mf://*.png -mf type=png:w=800:h=600:fps=1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -oac copy -o foo.avi | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | pronoy_: e.g. ive got virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | BB88, sshfs can do that rather easially.. actually the gnome file manager would let you do it over ssh also. (you would need to install ssh on the linux boxs) thers the 'places --> connect to server' thing you may want to check out. | 12:38 |
| Cheek1 | does anyone use .. pigdin for irc? | 12:38 |
| linny | cheek1 yes | 12:38 |
| amanulla | Cheek1:i use pidginn | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | amanulla: that will take all the png images in the current folder and make a video called foo.avi from them using mencoder | 12:39 |
| amanulla | Cheek1:but i dont know irc | 12:39 |
| amanulla | what is it | 12:39 |
| WasserDragoon | cheek1: me too | 12:39 |
| pronoy_ | ActionParsnip: how do identify which kernel have i got ?? | 12:39 |
| WasserDragoon | amanulla: you are on a irc server rofl | 12:39 |
| BB88 | dr_willis, I am following this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=469067, but am stuck on the sharing part, heh. | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | pronoy_: uname -a | 12:39 |
| Cheek1 | WasserDragoon: did you register your nick on irc? | 12:39 |
| amanulla | ActionParsnip:oohh i havnt asked that one | 12:39 |
| jim_p | hi | 12:39 |
| WasserDragoon | cheek1: yes, why? | 12:39 |
| amanulla | some other asked that | 12:39 |
| santy_1983 | hi abhi | 12:39 |
| jim_p | anyone that had a wubi problem 4 hours earlier? | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | BB88, could be an older guide with out of date info.. or you are not using the same ubuntu release as their guide | 12:40 |
| Cheek1 | WasserDragoon: i cant seem to register my namei dont know where to type inthe commands | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !register | Cheek1 | 12:40 |
| ubottu | Cheek1: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. | 12:40 |
| WasserDragoon | you have to type in "/msg nickserv help register" | 12:40 |
| WasserDragoon | but first you have to do "/nick your_wishnick" | 12:41 |
| BB88 | dr_willis, I assumed that, as you can right click on a folder and set up the sharing options, but I get a permission denied when doing so http://pastebin.com/m2b4009fa | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | BB88, you dont 'have' to use samba to transfer the files. You could but you dont have to. theres other ways. | 12:41 |
| amanulla | Cheek1:dont you have any mail ids like gmail,yahoo | 12:41 |
| WasserDragoon | cheek1: thats all ;-) | 12:41 |
| Pici | !ot | 12:41 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | BB88, i never use that method to share directories. I normally set up samba to share the users homes. | 12:41 |
| Cheek1 | WasserDragoon: really .. you sure man thats wat i did .. | 12:41 |
| bullium | does anyone use rhythmbox and the last.fm plugin with success? | 12:41 |
| Cheek1 | WasserDragoon: everyone tells me to get it do that command | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | pronoy_: any better? | 12:42 |
| BB88 | dr_willis, I just want the easiest way if possible? :D | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | BB88, but yes.. i just tried the right click/share thing.. and it seemd to work.. I have manually installed the 'samba' server package | 12:42 |
| WasserDragoon | cheek1: because nickserv let you know more about how to register your nickname | 12:42 |
| pronoy_ | i am going over it with linny | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | BB88, ssh is very easy. install ssh on both boxs use that places -> remote server -> service type ssh.. enter login/pass.. and start copying | 12:42 |
| amanulla | can i connect two laptops side by side to transfer data | 12:43 |
| WasserDragoon | cheek1: first "/nick example_nick" then "/msg nickserv register example_password example@email.com" | 12:43 |
| pronoy_ | ActionParsnip:i'll get back to you as soon as there is progress | 12:43 |
| amanulla | with a 2 sided usb wire | 12:43 |
| BB88 | dr_willis, sudo apt-get install ssh ? | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | BB88, i think so | 12:43 |
| FloodBot2 | !netsplit | 12:43 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 12:43 |
| jim_p | anyone that had a wubi problem 4 hours earlier and i offered to help?? | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, it would need a special usb cable.. | 12:43 |

| genius | Do you know a CHM reader with good full-text search? Maybe not presented in main repos | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | its basically like a crossover ethernet but is usb, they are horrid | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | genius, you could alwyas use one of the chm2pdf converters if you dont find one. | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | ActionParsnip, thats the general gist i got from the people ive talked to that use them also.. :) | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | genius: gnochm | 12:45 |

| amanulla | dr_willis:i havw a cable which is having usb pins at 2 sides wont it be enough? | 12:46 |
| genius | dr_willis: will it work better as pdf? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: unplug then replug it in | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: then wait a while | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, no idea. for transgfering files.. i use peer-peer network cables.. | 12:46 |
| lnc12 | I tried both thing | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | genius, no idea.. the chm readers ive seen under linux are all rather.. minimal. | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: does it appear in sudo fdisk -l | 12:47 |
| lnc12 | nop | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | genius, i spend some time converting a lot of chm books i had. to pdf the other day | 12:47 |
| lnc12 | but it did befor | 12:47 |
| lnc12 | befoe | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: has this been in a windows pc? | 12:47 |
| lnc12 | before | 12:47 |
| lnc12 | nop | 12:47 |
| genius | gnichm - is cruel joke :) it has fulltext but can't search inside the page!!! :) so it is not usible for manuals | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: dos it show up in lsusb? | 12:47 |

| ActionParsnip | lnc12: does it work in another system? | 12:48 |

| dr_willis | genius, i just found some chm2pdf command in the repos ive used. | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: are the usb ports turned on in bios? do other usb things work | 12:49 |
| genius | dr_willis: and pdv viewer of your choice? | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Kakurady: nowhere, its an alias for a network device | 12:49 |

| truebosko | Hi there, right now I have a Virtual setup where I am extending onto a second (large, tv size) monitor .. with this resolution my card cannot support adding effects. I don't need them, but I want them though .. is there some way to enable desktop effects while my TV is turned off (and not extend my screen) or is that too much of a hassle you think? | 12:50 |
| Kakurady | ActionParsnip: Really? Like it's nowhere on the filesystem? | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | genius, never really worried about it. just acroread, or tjat foxit one | 12:50 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | is there a quick and easy way to restart X without having to shut down the whole PC from the menu? | 12:50 |
| jim_p | lnc12: because i got disconected when you asked, can you please tell me the hardware in question? | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Kakurady: im sure its someplace but as a user its not a concern | 12:50 |
| erUSUL | CoRnJuLiOx: Crtl + Alt + Backspace | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | CoRnJuLiOx, alt-ctrl-backspace.. or restart the gdm service.. | 12:50 |
| Pici | CoRnJuLiOx: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart | 12:50 |
| jrib | CoRnJuLiOx: log out first, then do one of the things above | 12:50 |
| lnc12 | A traveldriv usb stick 2.0 | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: unmount your maxtor and put the smaller usb in that port | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | CoRnJuLiOx, or you can set the gdm configs to 'always restart the x server' when you logout | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: you may have a dead port | 12:51 |
| lnc12 | tried that dosent work | 12:51 |

| sjovan | m'kay | 12:53 |
| jim_p | Ward1983: i dont, but i may help if you ask | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: try putting it in suse then safetlty remove it and unmount properly | 12:53 |
| Kakurady | jrib: It won't work, the network is disabled only when the proprietary "nvidia" driver is used which cannot be tested with a liveCD. | 12:53 |
| Ward1983 | lnc12, do you need to recover your data? / is it important data? | 12:54 |
| lnc12 | okay I tried right a way | 12:54 |

| lnc12 | just want my usb to work | 12:54 |
| jrib | Kakurady: why not? | 12:54 |
| Ward1983 | lnc12, ah ok, else you should make a image with dd and then use photorec | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | lnc12: strange how it doesnt show in lsusb | 12:54 |
| Ward1983 | recovered a friends nieceś thesis with photorec lol | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ward1983: i use testdisk and dd_rescue, gets everything | 12:55 |
| Ward1983 | ActionParsnip, ill remember that, the stick had only word docs, txts and jpegs though, so photorec was simply terrific | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | whatever works for you ;) | 12:56 |
| Kakurady | jrib: LiveCD doesn't load restricted drivers on boot, as I know it. And to load such driver you need to reboot. | 12:56 |
| Kakurady | CMIW | 12:56 |
| Ward1983 | ActionParsnip, dd_resque might be handy if i ever need to recover other data | 12:56 |
| sjovan | 8.04 or 8.04.1 ? i'm on the uninet ftp... | 12:56 |
| Ward1983 | lol i should place some ads | 12:57 |
| Ward1983 | 25eur / recovery 0eur is not succeeded | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Ward1983: it's like dd ut doesnt cry when data is not readable | 12:57 |

| jrib | Kakurady: nah, just modprobe and restart X | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, use that 'unetbootin' tool - it can isntall several different disrtos to usb thumbdrives | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | amanulla: id stick with ubuntu for now to learn the systems before going for slackware | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, or check the docs at pendrivelinux.com | 12:58 |
| jim_p | amanulla: have a look in pendrivelinux.com | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | but unetbootin is a handy tool. :) | 12:58 |
| * Kakurady doubts if the kernel module will be there but will still try it anyway | 12:58 | |
| Ward1983 | ActionParsnip, oh yeah photorec is specifically for memorysticks etc so you might want to try it sometime if you got a memorystick thats dead, youĺl probably like it | 12:58 |

| jim_p | can wubi install any distro other than k/x/ubuntu? a friend of mine just told me he is gonna use it to install gentoo :| | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | jim_p, not that i know of.. and why would one want to :) | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Ward1983: as long as its seen by the system it can be used on any block device | 13:01 |
| amanulla | dr_willis:ok how much mb i need to download to get that | 13:01 |
| amanulla | tell me as less as possible | 13:01 |
| VSpike | MaxJays: one cause I've seen of that is having the monitor powered off when rebooting | 13:01 |
| Ward1983 | ActionParsnip, i thought i remembered it had some specific stuff in there for memory sticks / sd cards, etc | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, i have no idea.. go get it and see. check google for its homepage. | 13:01 |
| VSpike | MaxJays: if the server can't auto detect the monitor capabilities, it defaults to a safe mode | 13:02 |
| jim_p | dr_willis: because he thinks wubi is THE tool! i dont know, i thought people would laugh at my question | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | amanulla, the program will want/need the slax iso image file (or cd) | 13:02 |
| jim_p | dr_willis: btw, apt is the real THE TOOL | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | jim_p, ive not heard very many good things about wubi. id rather run inside virtualbox then use wubi. | 13:02 |
| VSpike | MaxJays: if you accidentally boot with the monitor off, just hit ctrl-alt-bksp at the login screen once you have the monitor on, and that should fix it | 13:02 |
| amanulla | dr_willis:prefer one for me | 13:02 |
| jim_p | dr_willis: i couldnt agree more with you! | 13:02 |
| ikonia | dr_willis I will give you many bad things about wubi, but I can think of non-positive, it's a solution fora non-existant solution | 13:03 |
| morth | Good Morning all | 13:03 |
| _haywire_ | what's good about it? | 13:03 |
| ikonia | s/soltion/problem | 13:03 |

| Ward1983 | jim_p, just once after that it never worked | 13:05 |
| Vincent_ | ok, I have a laptop with windows. | 13:05 |
| Vincent_ | there i made a bit free space at the beginning of the hard drive | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jim_p: i just think its half ass, ubuntu runs live off cd anyway | 13:06 |
| Vincent_ | that space is unformatted | 13:06 |
| Omeil | how can i eject my DVD burner its telling me that im not privalged | 13:06 |
| Vincent_ | i startet linux cd and said: use largest free space | 13:06 |

| ActionParsnip | Vincent_: ok | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | Vincent_, unallocated, is not the same as unformated. | 13:07 |
| Omeil | yea :) | 13:07 |
| Omeil | really weird it has ever done that before | 13:07 |
| Vincent_ | yes unallocated | 13:07 |
| Omeil | dr_willis, thx | 13:07 |
| Vincent_ | will it select the unallocated or will it decrease a partition and instal there? | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Vincent_: boot to xp and unallocate the space | 13:07 |
| jim_p | ActionParsnip: yea but live cd does not give you the chance to save your settings, install progs etc and still have them on next reboot! | 13:07 |
| MaxJays | can i open a new session, so i run KDE and Gnome at the same time? | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jim_p: if you mount ~/ to a memory storage you can | 13:07 |
| T_Davis | should be able to pick that up in the installer if you use manual partition | 13:08 |
| TuTUXG | MaxJays, with another user, yes | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | MaxJays, Yes you can. theres a way you can start a 2nd x session on the alt-ctrl-f8 console :) | 13:08 |
| MaxJays | ok, | 13:08 |
| jim_p | ActionParsnip: name me one ubuntu newcomer that can do this and cannot install through wubi | 13:08 |

| dr_willis | !wubi | 13:09 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 13:09 |
| Ward1983 | jim_p, works, no errors | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jim_p: all you said was store settings and user data | 13:09 |
| Ward1983 | jim_p, only the connection drops as discribed | 13:09 |
| jim_p | Ward1983: was the module updraded recently | 13:09 |
| Omeil | dr_willis, I saw this output from Wine fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on CA0106, disabling mixer | 13:10 |
| Omeil | sound works tho, just thought maybe you seen that before | 13:10 |
| Ward1983 | jim_p, you know what just to make sure ill do a clean install | 13:10 |
| VSpike | MaxJays: i don't think it matters if it's a projector. The graphics card reads the device capabilities using EDID, and the xserver reads that to decide what is safe. Works the same for CRT, TFT or anything else that supports it | 13:11 |
| kibibyte | have question | 13:11 |

| recha`` | hi | 13:11 |
| jim_p | Ward1983: i think its a loss of time (the clean install). just remove the module and reload it! | 13:11 |

| lbruno | Klangdah: proxy-auth doesn't work if you're doing transparent redirection | 13:24 |
| Klangdah | Oh great ... how can I do it then ? | 13:25 |

| lbruno | when a user sucessfully logs in (where the "sucessfully" criteria is defined by your webapp), point it at the proxy | 13:31 |

| ikonia | Staale: run it against python and you'll see it's not linked against berkly | 14:14 |

| wers | where can I get stardict dictionaries? | 14:14 |
| wers | the site is down | 14:14 |
| Staale | ikonia: however, I still have a problem as bsddb.__version__ doesn't match that of the underlying c library that is used | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Staale ok so you acknolwedge this isn't a python problem, | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Staale: so your saying that berklydb from the repo is linked against the wrong version / | 14:16 |
| Staale | ikonia: yeah, different from the version that is coded into the python files | 14:16 |
| ikonia | Staale: ok, so which python files exaclty (sorry if I'm approaching this back to front) | 14:16 |
| Staale | ikonia: bsddb.__version__ says 4.4.something, bsddb.dbtables.version() says 4.6, I am looking into the source now | 14:17 |

| Vlet | Is there a vmware player application that does not require a gui? | 14:51 |
| electronplusplu | hi | 14:51 |
| o7andrew | DasEi1: you don't like this totem? | 14:51 |
| ikonia | Vlet to work with vmware - no, to act with virtualization, yes, kvm | 14:52 |
| DasEi1 | !best| o7andrew | 14:52 |
| ubottu | o7andrew: 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. | 14:52 |
| Vlet | ikonia: Thanks, I'll look into it. | 14:52 |

| HoaxKey | Hi guys, ive been trying out ubuntu for the past month and have finally decided it is not for me, could i please get some help removing it and collapsing my ubuntu related partitions into one so my windows can access them | 14:52 |
| IcyPolecat | paolo_: and does anything show up when you run #dmesg? | 14:52 |
| voltage__ | ^Cheeky: It's the name of the disk. it's a ISO image you burn to disk and your computer boots to it (Same as your comp boots the the ubuntu cd when you insert it) except it gives you diagnostic tools instead of and OS | 14:52 |
| DasEi1 | o7andrew: vlc brings (almost all needed) codecs with it, thats whay | 14:52 |
| DasEi1 | *why | 14:52 |
| Vlet | ikonia: Do you happen to know if kvm can run vmware 'images'? | 14:52 |
| VSpike | what's the chance I can hotplug a sata drive? | 14:53 |
| o7andrew | lol >sweet dude | 14:53 |
| paolo_ | IcyPolecat, http://paste.ubuntu.com/55001/ is what dmesg shows | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | VSpike: the ones i tried worked (mostly ReactOS and Haiku images to try out) | 14:53 |
| electronplusplu | does somebody knows the equivalent function of the fuction kbhit()? bump | 14:53 |
| ^Cheeky | voltage__, would i be able to get the output in .txt ? | 14:54 |
| smacfarl | livecd of 8.10 beta does not identify my graphics card, does ubuntu still use xorg.conf in 8.10? | 14:54 |
| VSpike | erUSUL: I have a faulty one. reading in the first 1.5MB causes the drive controller to die, and eventually the device disappears. Rebooting brings it back, but just wondering if I can remove and re-insert it. | 14:54 |
| VSpike | erUSUL: Maybe with a quick trip to the freezer in the interim :) | 14:54 |
| KR-data | anyone who know the easiest way to set up a vpn between Ubuntu and a Windows XP? | 14:54 |
| VSpike | KR-data: probably openvpn | 14:55 |

| bobertdos | smacfarl: Yes, but come over to #ubuntu+1 if you want to talk about Intrepid, please. | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | VSpike: oopps my comment was for Vlet ... | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | Vlet: the ones i tried worked (mostly ReactOS and Haiku images to try out) | 14:55 |
| VSpike | erUSUL: heh :) damn | 14:55 |
| IcyPolecat | paolo_: do other dirves work ok? and do you get anything further in dmesg after a while (i.e. a couple of minutes)? | 14:56 |
| IcyPolecat | paolo_: *drives | 14:56 |
| klos | is there a channel for ubuntu server ? | 14:56 |
| voltage__ | ^Cheeky: Basically you boot to it, and it lanuches diagnostics (you just pick which one). if your ram is bad when you run memtest you'll get errors for example. if your hard drive fails diagnostics you'll get "Device has bad blocks or Error" if it's ok you'll get a pass or drive ok. CPU same thing, test pass or warining/error. some give you the option to save to disk but is of little use unless RMAing or something | 14:57 |
| spikyjt | yes #ubuntu-server | 14:57 |
| klos | haha thx :0 | 14:57 |
| paolo_ | IcyPolecat, el disco principal (/dev/sda) funciona perfectamente | 14:57 |
| ^Cheeky | voltage__, let me run this cd .. i hope its notthing to do with my hardware | 14:58 |
| voltage__ | give the memtest 2 passes at least | 14:58 |
| ||cw | I've got a system that's been upgraded a few times, started at 6.06 I think and now is 8.04.1. trying to compile a 3rd party kernel module it acts like it's compiling for a xen kernel even though no xen stuff has ever been installed. tried an in-tree full kernel compile as well, it tries to compile a xen kernel unless I pass -arch to make-kpkg, but the resulting deb is still linux-xenu... wtf happen how do i fix it? dpkg-architecture says i386. | 14:58 |
| voltage__ | CPU 1/2 hr and full drive diagnostics | 14:58 |
| IcyPolecat | paolo_: understood but that's not going through the USB controller is it... at the moment it looks like an issue with the module responsible for high speed usb2.0 functionality. | 14:59 |
| o7andrew | DasEi1: it's only a floppy disk full of files, thats great | 14:59 |
| S4nD3r | Hi.Id like to use a multi-protocol in my gnome, I dont know which to choose? (I need MSN, Jabber and GTalk) | 14:59 |

| marius | how is broadcom channel called? | 15:00 |

| Moirae | S4nD3r, Ubuntu comes with Pidgin | 15:00 |
| Moirae | it's under applications > internet | 15:00 |
| smacfarl | bobertdos: are you in #ubuntu+1 because I was there for about an hour last night and was not even dignified with a response to my questions. | 15:00 |
| o7andrew | I was just commenting on how small the ubuntu-restricted-extras was | 15:00 |
| S4nD3r | Oh. Sure. I will try it | 15:01 |
| S4nD3r | thanks | 15:01 |
| DasEi1 | !who| o7andrew | 15:01 |
| ubottu | o7andrew: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:01 |
| DasEi1 | o7andrew: I see | 15:01 |
| ^Cheeky | ikonia, it worked i got it | 15:02 |
| ikonia | ? | 15:03 |
| ^Cheeky | voltage__, i got my problem solved | 15:03 |
| bobertdos | smacfarl: Yeah, I am, although because everything is still unstable, my best advice would be to just be patient anwyway. | 15:03 |
| ^Cheeky | ikonia, wat i did wat looked in my process list .. and killed my broser and started the video and it works | 15:03 |
| ikonia | ^Cheeky that sounds like it fixed a symptom, not the problem | 15:04 |
| paolo_ | IcyPolecat, a kernel module? what? | 15:04 |
| ^Cheeky | ikonia, so its noth the plug in by adobe thats messing me up | 15:04 |
| elTigre | Hi! Template question: How can I do an "if" about the length of a list? | 15:05 |
| Pici | elTigre: Template? For what? | 15:05 |

| scuser | hi all, where could I find kdb5_ldap_util ? | 15:06 |
| IcyPolecat | paolo_: sorry - the bit of ubuntu that handles USB drives isn't working properly. You could try removing the uhci_hcd module and seeing if that makes a difference. You can always reenable it later | 15:06 |
| albuntu | scuser : have you tried aptitude search kdb5_ldap_util ? | 15:06 |
| DasEi1 | scuser:apt-cache search kdb* | 15:06 |
| dmsuperman | I'm trying to reinstall my video driver, and it builds the kernel module (nvidia.ko) then says it failed to load the kernel module. I've recently patched my kernel, so that explains why (it was buitl against another one) but how can I get it to rebuild it? | 15:07 |
| paolo_ | IcyPolecat, ok, thank you | 15:07 |
| o7andrew | DasEi1: I just installed those extras, which said it included flash, but restarted firefox and still have no flash for youtube? | 15:07 |
| IrishDavid | how do i link to another file from my bashrc? | 15:07 |
| dude | o7andrew, hey maaaan | 15:07 |
| IcyPolecat | paolo_: to remove run the following in a terminal: sudo modprobe -r ehic_hcd | 15:07 |
| o7andrew | dude: dude! | 15:07 |
| DasEi1 | o7andrew: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree mozzplugger | 15:07 |
| DasEi1 | !flash | 15:07 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 15:07 |
| IcyPolecat | paolo_: and then reboot your machine. to re enable simply run sudo modprobe ehic_hcd and then reboot | 15:08 |
| dude | o7andrew, yeah maaaannn | 15:08 |
| scuser | albuntu: yes I tried that but it didn't gave any results | 15:08 |
| IrishDavid | as in i have another file with items I would like inside my bashrc and want to type a line into bashrc to bring that data in (without copy and paste) | 15:08 |
| albuntu | !Restricted | o7andrew | 15:08 |
| ubottu | o7andrew: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 15:08 |
| DasEi1 | scuser: also can look in paketmanager, else packet doesn't exist | 15:08 |
| ancientadm | IrishDavid: can't you open the two files in separate screens? | 15:08 |
| smacfarl | bobertdos: so this is my problem. I reported my graphics card bugs last year. Went through a whole round of emails that led to a request to try out the new linux kernel in the alpha. I figured I would wait for the beta, which I did. And now the Live CD works worse for my card then the 8.04 live CD does. This is a problem. I would love to understand who I can talk to about this. | 15:08 |

| bobertdos | smacfarl: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing | 15:13 |
| Pici | IrishDavid: Just like you'd execute it from the shell. ./filename | 15:14 |
| trilobiti | IrishDavid: it's called sourcing. At where you want script2.sh to be inserted in script1.sh, you enter a line: ". /path/to/script2.sh" | 15:15 |
| hussein_ | hello | 15:15 |
| Freija | hi | 15:15 |
| trilobiti | IrishDavid: Note closely the line starts with a dot, then whitespace, then the path of script2.sh | 15:15 |
| ikonia | ^Cheeky well seeing as a.) your machine crashes randomly b.) your audio and video plugins crash randomly I'd say not | 15:15 |

| albuntu | scuser : there is a launchpad url for this problem and it seems there is a solution for debian. you can try that maybe -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/208576 | 15:18 |
| albuntu | the package you need is krb5 but from what i see it is not implemented | 15:19 |
| kinshuksunil | hi room | 15:19 |
| albuntu | scuser : read carefully there. they explain it well | 15:19 |
| trilobiti | IrishDavid: Pici: I think sourcing a script from within another script works differently than executing the script from within another script. Sourcing implies that the lines are inserted and everything is executed in one shell and the variables are preserved. Executing fires up a second shell and the two scripts are executed separately, and also their env variables don't clutter. | 15:19 |

| Tanalark | so at any rate, I am a semi-newbie with Linux and have never worked with ubuntu before.

| Neozed | I do not know if it has anything to do with me just doing a routine update of the system, but I can't think of anything else.. | 16:09 |
| erUSUL | tux: something is wrong with the scasi disk (or at least linux thinks so) | 16:09 |
| loevborg | jim_p: anyway it shouldn't just start over after finishing ./configure, over and over | 16:09 |

| ^Cheeky | ikonia, hey you have a min ? | 16:20 |

| Gnea | bofh80: and I am going to state here, that you're doing it wrong. | 16:21 |
| trilobiti | Gnea: hehe indeed. I wish I knew enough to do that though. :| | 16:21 |
| bustaplz2 | oh i thought you were talking about screen as in monitor | 16:21 |
| bofh80 | Gnea, and if you install flash from the adobe site you might find yours starts to work proerplyu | 16:21 |
| Pici | Gnea: Just drop it, he should log a bug if there is an issue. | 16:21 |
| LeventersoY | IcyPolecat : i buyed a external antenna , how can i seen this externel antenna status | 16:21 |
| ^Cheeky | ikonia, man iam learning java wat you told me about my system isnot giving me a piece of mind @ all | 16:22 |
| IcyPolecat | LeventersoY: an antenna is just a dumb bit of metal - if you need to know the gain then it should be listed in the antenna's manual | 16:22 |
| Gnea | bofh80: but I don't have to. mine works just fine. perhaps you've got a buggy video driver. you should really file a bug report and get as much detail crammed into it that you can. | 16:22 |

| kushalsejwal | ikonia : So I should leave it as it is? Its sometimes irritates when my folder is full of such hidden files :( | 16:26 |
| ikonia | kushalsejwal then should dissapear when you close the editor | 16:26 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | quick question: How can i configure some apps to open as soon as i start my session? | 16:26 |

| trilobiti | kushalsejwal: they disappear when you close the edit session. In case of crashes and your work is unsaved, those files save your efforts. | 16:27 |
| kushalsejwal | ikonia : No they do not get dissapear | 16:27 |
| ikonia | maniheer: I thought it was like the $file.swp for vi | 16:27 |
| DasEi1 | Azhi_Dahaka:write them to /etc/rc.local | 16:27 |
| draven1005 | bustaplz2: if you use screen, then detach the screen you can safely close your ssh connection. | 16:27 |
| ikonia | kushalsejwal in that case I can't comment on it | 16:27 |
| maniheer | ikonia, nope, it stays there | 16:27 |
| maniheer | its like a backup | 16:27 |
| Aethelred | Booted my Ubuntu 8.04 this morning. Update Manager sez I have updates. Five of them are "Important Security Updates". Out of curiosity, I select one (libvlc0) to get the description. The description is "The list of changes if not available yet. Please try again later". Does this seem odd? | 16:27 |
| maniheer | well | 16:27 |
| maniheer | it is a backup | 16:27 |
| kushalsejwal | trilobiti : they are there even I restart the pc | 16:27 |
| flea_ | ubuntu seems to have copy-protection on dvd/cd media (trying to dd) any able to overcome this? | 16:28 |
| aet419 | jim_p r u there? | 16:28 |
| Pici | Aethelred: No. Changelogs are not updated at the time that the upload is done to the server. | 16:28 |
| maniheer | kushalsejwal, those ~ files are backups | 16:28 |
| maniheer | and it can be set in the gedit preferences not to have those files created | 16:28 |
| Azlx | is it going to be better to dl the iso, or the zip? | 16:28 |
| trilobiti | kushalsejwal: You might want to see for any option (if there's one) to place them elsewhere from gedit. | 16:28 |
| DasEi1 | flea_: don't know any protection, maybe try k3b or nero ? | 16:28 |
| Pici | Aethelred: I use apt-listchanges in conjunction with apt-get upgrade to see changelogs myself, it always works. | 16:29 |
| kushalsejwal | maniheer: Okay then I think I should not bother about them | 16:29 |
| === brett is now known as Guest28268 | ||
| flea_ | DasEi1: thanks but i am only interested in a non-gui solution | 16:29 |
| bustaplz2 | draven1005: Looks like I'm in the clear, upgrade just finished. Going to install screen and play around with it a bit. Thanks for the advice! | 16:29 |
| tobias | how to install banshee-1? | 16:29 |
| Pici | Aethelred: although you need to download the packages before you can read the changelogs. | 16:29 |
| ^Cheeky | ikonia, i should but i have been trying to troubleshoot my box and havent accomplished anything so before i close my eyes i wish to learn something | 16:29 |
| flea_ | DasEi1: dd works on all my other distros | 16:29 |
| Aethelred | Pici: Four of the "Important Security Updates" are like that, but other ones are not and include at least brief notes. I'm willing to ascribe this to human laziness, or technical hurdles, but it raises warnings for me. | 16:29 |
| ikonia | ^Cheeky thats your decision | 16:29 |
| DasEi1 | flea_: should work, too see : man dd | 16:29 |
| ^Cheeky | ikonia, indeed m8 | 16:29 |

| voltage__ | Aethelred You got to think outside the box. A few years back there was no GUI tool for automatic updates. It's not like there are major security holes in your distro it's mostly stability fixes or compatability fixes. Don't think the M$ way where if you don't get updates your system will become infected for sure | 16:32 |
| kushalsejwal | maniheer : Seriosly man I am slowing getting addicted to Ubuntu, I just love it ;) | 16:32 |
| Aethelred | Pici: Thanks. In general, do you recommend for users to trust the "Update Manager" process? As wonderful as apt is, many people won't want to see a command line. | 16:32 |

| * DekRNR what command to edit folder name in ubuntu textmode | 16:33 | |
| Pici | Aethelred: Yes. For the most part, desktop end-users should feel fine doing routine updates through the update manager. | 16:33 |
| draven1005 | anyone here installed MySQL 64Bit with csv-storage-engine | 16:33 |
| b1nt4n6 | thanks ubottu | 16:33 |
| kushalsejwal | trilobiti : Hey how is Debian? I was thinking of downloading its iso | 16:33 |
| Aethelred | voltage__: I'm already outside that box, but part of what I do involves thinking about what it looks like from the users' perspective. | 16:33 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:35 |
| maniheer | kushalsejwal, :P | 16:35 |
| Aethelred | voltage__: This doesn't feel like a GUI issue, really. The info about the package needs to come with the package. The details of an Important Security Update should never say "Um, we can't really tell you". | 16:36 |

| dystopianray | Gnea: in what way? | 17:05 |
| trilobiti | vilhelm: good job :) | 17:05 |
| ikonia | dystopianray too many minor differences to list, it's a very polished product though | 17:05 |
| Gnea | dystopianray: too many to list here. ubuntu.com has it all spelled out. they ways in which ubuntu is better may or may not fit with your needs. | 17:05 |
| vilhelm | <trilobiti> thx :) | 17:05 |
| dystopianray | ikonia: how is it polished? | 17:06 |

| jay | hello room.. | 17:06 |
| ikonia | dystopianray: more details are available on ubuntu.com and distrowatch.com | 17:06 |
| dystopianray | the website is difficult to understand | 17:06 |
| jamesish | dystopianray: really, if you're not interested sufficiently to check out the website, don't worry about it. | 17:06 |
| dystopianray | I need a summary of it | 17:06 |
| ikonia | dystopianray in what respect | 17:06 |
| ikonia | dystopianray: what is hard to understand | 17:07 |
| dystopianray | the purpose of ubuntu | 17:07 |
| jamesish | Sounds like we're doing a homework assignment for him :P | 17:07 |
| ikonia | dystopianray: it's a linux operating system - thats it | 17:07 |
| RyanPrior | Is there a command I can use to tell whether the contents of two folders are identical? | 17:07 |
| dystopianray | why did mark shuttleworth make an operating system using linux? | 17:07 |
| ikonia | RyanPrior a while loop with diff ? | 17:07 |
| dystopianray | instead of using something superior | 17:07 |
| Gnea | dystopianray: how is it difficult to understand? you need to take the time to read it. i see that you are spending more time asking questions in here. | 17:07 |

| ikonia | dystopianray he wanted to help progress linux it's all listed on the website | 17:07 |
| jamesish | RyanPrior: make an md5sum of the directories. I thknk the command is md5sum. Either that or md5 | 17:08 |

| ubottu | dystopianray read this: A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training | 17:08 |
| dystopianray | ikonia: why does he need a website though? | 17:08 |

| kri | hi | 17:11 |
| kri | cant find a faq for installing windowmaker | 17:11 |
| kri | dont like gnome | 17:11 |
| RyanPrior | loz: You burn them to an MP3 CD using the software that they're licensed to work with, then you rip them back to the computer, then you re-encode them using a Free codec, or install the non-Free mp3 codec. | 17:12 |
| jamesish | RyanPrior: make a tarball of them, then md5sum. Done. | 17:12 |
| loz | Ryan | 17:12 |
| Qwerty_ | are there any voip softwares that are not p2p? | 17:12 |
| apolo | #ubuntu.fr | 17:12 |
| loz | RyanPrior: thanks, can i burn them with k3b ? | 17:13 |
| RyanPrior | jamesish: No way I'm making two 20GB tarballs and digesting both of them. I'd like the test to fail as soon as it finds bits which are not identical... | 17:13 |
| voltage__ | loz: I did the latter (non free mp3 plugin) Then used xmms for my player for all my audio | 17:13 |
| voltage__ | but xmms isn't in 8.04 or at least I can apt-get it | 17:13 |
| loz | k | 17:13 |
| voltage__ | *Can't | 17:13 |
| craigbass1976 | xmm2? | 17:14 |
| RyanPrior | loz: No, if they are WMVs with DRM, you need to burn them using the software with which they are designed to play. That will probably be Windows Media Player. | 17:14 |
| craigbass1976 | xmms2 I meant | 17:14 |
| voltage__ | is it a newer one? | 17:14 |
| craigbass1976 | Isn't that out for the newest oob? | 17:14 |
| voltage__ | I'll have to try that one | 17:14 |
| jamesish | RyanPrior: okay. write a recursive descent into the directories; once your workers reach the base of the directories, start md5summing. If you're only looking for a name by name comparison, just do a find into the dirs printing out the names, redirect to 2 files and use diff. | 17:14 |
| craigbass1976 | I thought so, but just upgraded to hardy lately on my home box and haven't yet messed with it | 17:14 |
| loz | RyanPrior, : cheers, but i don't have microshite in my household, do you think attempting installing Windows media player through wine is risky? or just imposible? | 17:15 |
| voltage__ | yeah well on xubuntu 6.06 xmms went find but 8.04 xmms not found (neither is bitchx) | 17:15 |
| voltage__ | fine* (to much caffeene) | 17:16 |
| RyanPrior | loz: Wine is not a good solution for things like this. I suggest going to a mate's house or to a public library with Windows software available. | 17:16 |
| dystopianray | Ioz: why do you dislike microsoft? | 17:16 |
| loz | RyanPrior: thanks i guess i ll do that, just another great thing from microsoft! | 17:16 |

| voltage__ | loz I would try out VLC man for playing videos (once you tweak ubuntu that is) | 17:16 |
| kri | ? | 17:17 |
| kri | mplayer | 17:17 |
| kri | do the job very well | 17:17 |
| RyanPrior | voltage__: VLC has lots of codecs, but it doesn't play DRM'd content. | 17:17 |
| lolmac | asd | 17:17 |
| kri | how about mplayer | 17:17 |
| loz | kri: drm with m player, i don't think so, i have tried, and also vlc | 17:17 |

| voltage__ | Don't most DRM'd dvd's come with their own player for windows? I remember I couldn't get Saint Anger audio cd to rip but it would play if i installed windows program provided. Then you have to play/record and save recordings (pain) | 17:19 |
| RyanPrior | !botabuse | os2mac | 17:19 |
| ubottu | os2mac: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 17:19 |

| en1gma | i looked in /dev/mapper and they showed up | 18:02 |
| ikonia | en1gma my only thought is that now that dmraid is installed initram fs is hanging as it doesn't know what to do with your disk | 18:02 |

| flea_ | anakln: i dont use nor have ever used vbox, but sounds like its getting exported as one part from vbox, if vbox cant see the usb devices | 18:31 |

| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 18:31 |
| ruediix | geniusvicks, that is for "flood protection" because some files are just too big. | 18:31 |
| ruediix | geniusvicks, not everyone has multicast-dcc you know. | 18:32 |

| yoink | hi folks, I have have a Ubuntu 8.04 server running a small KnowledgeTree (DMS) install. I have an external USB disk that I would like to backup the system to and I was wondering what the best method was? "rdiff-backup"? Mondo Rescue? | 18:34 |
| yoink | thanks in advance! | 18:35 |
| yoink | :) | 18:35 |
| noodlesgc | mimi sorry, can't talk about that type of stuff in here. | 18:35 |
| mimi | really | 18:35 |
| geniusvicks | Help with fstab. I have many more partitions(Windows) but only few are seen in here. How to get them in? http://paste.ubuntu.com/55068/ | 18:35 |
| mimi | do there no way i can get my msn account back | 18:35 |
| mimi | all my contacts is there thats y | 18:36 |
| ruediix | yoink what type of backup do you want, and what features? | 18:36 |
| v0lksman | mimi: contact msn support | 18:36 |
| MrKennie | mimi: ask mswn | 18:36 |
| Cool-Nick | I can't install Ubuntu. It reboots during loading | 18:36 |

| mimi | thanks | 18:36 |
| Cool-Nick | any ideas? | 18:36 |
| noodlesgc | mimi is there a problem with the forgot password option? | 18:36 |
| v0lksman | Cool-Nick: always the same spot? | 18:36 |
| vilhelm | <soundtray> are u still here? | 18:36 |
| soundray | vilhelm: that adapter should work out of the box. | 18:36 |
| yoink | ruediix: well really I only need to backup the knowledgetree install, but it would be nice if I could backup that but also generate a disk image I could just use to restore if something happened... though I imagine I can't run something like dd_rescue if the disk is mounted. | 18:37 |
| Cool-Nick | v0lksman: yeah | 18:37 |
| v0lksman | Cool-Nick: what part? | 18:37 |
| ruediix | geniusvicks, oh not all Windows partitions mount automatically, you need to install ntfs-ng to get it working. Encrypted and comrpessed volumes will still be slow. | 18:37 |
| ruediix | geniusvicks, I mean not work reliably. | 18:37 |
| yoink | ruediix: it would be really wonderful to do incremental backups to save space but the external drive is 5 times the size of the system disk so not a big deal really | 18:37 |

| petey_petey | I'm having trouble mounting a windows machine on the network, does anyone have experience there? | 18:39 |
| Tanalark | I looked on the repos and it's not there.. or at least, I don't know how to find it. | 18:39 |

| ubottu | Tanalark: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto | 18:39 |
| MrKennie | !medibuntu > Tanalark | 18:39 |
| ubottu | Tanalark, please see my private message | 18:39 |
| Cool-Nick | v0lksman: during loading. Actually i couldn't insall ubuntu using GUI cuz it was rebooting in the same spot while it loads the GUI, so i installed it using the alternate CD, but the same problem happens when it is loading. Also i couldn't use the live version cuz it reboots at that point also. I can't never reach the desktop or any GUI, it reboots during loading the system. | 18:40 |
| MrKennie | Tanalark: medibuntu has skype which makes it easier to update etc. | 18:40 |
| ruediix | yoink, hmm, well I use a compression program and tar for most of my backups. However, I usually only backup data and personal settings. | 18:40 |
| v0lksman | Cool-Nick: any idea what vid card is in the machine? | 18:40 |
| ksbalaji | I have different desktop images in each desktop when I disable nautilus drawing desktop. But why don't I see the launcher Icons? | 18:40 |
| Tanalark | i downloaded the package, but it says that there's a hardware problem... something about i386 | 18:40 |
| Tanalark | and it won't run. | 18:40 |
| noodlesgc | Tanalark did you get it from mediubuntu? | 18:41 |
| soundray | Tanalark: read ubottu's messages please and install skype from an Ubuntu package | 18:41 |
| Cool-Nick | v0lksman: what's the meaning of vid? | 18:41 |
| v0lksman | Cool-Nick: the video card | 18:41 |
| ruediix | yoink, you could use rdiff, or a specialty program. KDE has several backup programs that support rdiff like functionality, with compressed tar backup formats. | 18:41 |
| yoink | ruediix: I can't believe my thinking was so uptight I didn't even ponder tar | 18:41 |
| Cool-Nick | v0lksman: what do you want to know about it? | 18:42 |
| v0lksman | Cool-Nick: what kind is it | 18:42 |
| v0lksman | Cool-Nick: make/model | 18:42 |
| ksbalaji | I have different desktop images in each desktop when I disable nautilus drawing desktop. But why don't I see the launcher Icons? can not I have the images and launcher icons on the desktop? | 18:42 |
| yoink | ruediix: you know I think tar archives with the date appended to the filename in a weekly cron event might just do the trick | 18:42 |
| yoink | ruediix: thanks ! :D | 18:42 |
| Cool-Nick | v0lksman: Calorido nvidia AGP 256 | 18:42 |
| v0lksman | ksbalaji: stop spamming...check compiz..it's a known "issue" | 18:42 |
| ruediix | Yoink, most people don't. If you want to do full backups, you can make added more frequent incremental backups by uncompressing the most recent archive, without untaring it, and then comparing it to a fresh tar with a binary patch tool. | 18:43 |
| ksbalaji | v0lksman, thanks for responding. Please tell me where to check for the issue? | 18:43 |
| v0lksman | ksbalaji: compiz website | 18:44 |
| Pici | ksbalaji: or #compiz-fusion | 18:44 |
| ksbalaji | v0lksman, thanks and bye. | 18:44 |
| noodlesgc | ksbalaji there is a compiz plugin to resolve this issue that is included in intrepid | 18:44 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | what's the difference between a Metacity Theme and a GTK2 Theme? | 18:45 |
| MrKennie | ruif13: try sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal | 18:45 |
| v0lksman | Cool-Nick: hrm...never heard of Calorido...not sure what that is... | 18:45 |
| Pici | Azhi_Dahaka: Metacity draws the window borders. GTK2 handles the stuff inside the windows, i.e: buttons, scrollbars, etc. | 18:45 |
| Azlx | ok got a question, i just use gparted to change a terminal, i have one ready, and im trying to use it with ubuntu, im duel booting windows vista, and im trying to use it with ubuntu, what do i do. | 18:46 |

| nate_ | Hi, Im getting this weird error that i cannot seem to fix, the error is recurring when i log on to the computer it says... "Users $HOME /.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and languate from being saved. File should be Owned b user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME Directory must be owned by user and not writeable by other users" | 18:47 |
| Cool-Nick | v0lksman: i think it's Colorado | 18:47 |
| ruediix | yoink, one last possibility in the other extreme, you can always use dd, and binary diff and compress that, so you get full recoverable partition images. | 18:48 |
| ichbinesderelch | nate_: tried chmod 644 ~/.dmrc | 18:48 |

| === strAlan is now known as Chris_Britton | ||
| utabak | RonZo; any clues how to install it | 18:54 |
| Pici | utabak: You don't install virtual packages. Install one of the packages that apt-get/aptitude lists as providing this package. | 18:54 |
| soundray | ronny: it removes it from the #defoptions line as well, so it will never reappear. | 18:54 |
| RonzO | utabak, with a virtual install? | 18:54 |
| utabak | Pici, thx | 18:54 |
| utabak | RonzO, ?? | 18:55 |
| RonzO | utabak, do you just wnat to install the package? | 18:55 |
| soundray | ichbinesderelch: perhaps suggest deleting it | 18:55 |
| ichbinesderelch | nate_: permission should be set to -rw------- i think, but dunno howto set it with chmod :P | 18:55 |
| FFighter | hello | 18:55 |
| utabak | RonzO, yes and its dependencies if any, I am sure of this however | 18:55 |
| Pici | RonzO: Hes talking about what aptitude shows when doing something like: aptitude search libumfpack4-dev | 18:55 |

| ichbinesderelch | nate_: some holy ghost told me, try deleting the .dmrc file and relog ;) | 18:56 |
| RonzO | utabak, Pici ah, gotcha. to search for it do apt-cache search <package name> and apt-get install <package name> to install it | 18:56 |
| soundray | terrestre: that question does not make sense. A printer's "own drivers" should contain a .ppd too | 18:56 |
| nate_ | hmm okay and how could i do this with a command? | 18:56 |
| Pici | RonzO: But not for a virtual package, you cannot install virtual packages | 18:56 |
| RonzO | utabak, Pici to show dependancies, use the -D flag | 18:56 |

| Tanalark | so apt-get install skype? | 19:09 |
| Tanalark | and that's all I have to do from the terminal? | 19:09 |
| konrad_ | yes | 19:09 |
| Tanalark | I'm a total newbie. | 19:09 |
| en1gma | ikonia did you see what i wrote | 19:09 |
| terrestre | Tanalark, sudo apt-get install skype | 19:09 |
| terrestre | i preferd aptitude btw | 19:09 |
| RonzO | Tanalark, yes, thats all ya gotta do | 19:09 |
| ichbinesderelch | nate_: take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5863392 | 19:09 |
| MrKennie | Tanalark: not at all, jsut follow the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 19:09 |
| Tanalark | wow... very cool. ;) | 19:09 |
| Whitor | Hi, How would I establish a connection in a terminal window to /dev/ttyS0 ? | 19:09 |
| eReSik | hello | 19:10 |
| Tanalark | it looks like it's working... | 19:10 |
| amanulla | hii | 19:10 |
| MrKennie | Tanalark: ah, good :) | 19:10 |
| genii | Whitor: With something like minicom | 19:10 |
| Tanalark | so I can do that for any package on the medibuntu repo? | 19:10 |
| Tanalark | just use the name of the program? | 19:10 |
| MrKennie | Tanalark: any that is available there | 19:10 |
| RonzO | MrKennie, why would you use medibuntu repos? everything works fine for me without it | 19:11 |
| Tanalark | cool. | 19:11 |
| Whitor | genii, ok, I'll look that up | 19:11 |
| MrKennie | RonzO: huh? | 19:11 |
| RonzO | Tanalark, thats how you install packages with ubuntu. sudo apt-get install <package> | 19:11 |
| Whitor | thanks genii | 19:11 |
| Tanalark | *nod* | 19:11 |
| genii | Whitor: You're welcome | 19:11 |
| RonzO | MrKennie, why would you need to use medibuntu repository? everything works fine without it | 19:11 |
| sledge | jim_p: i dont think so | 19:11 |
| MrKennie | RonzO: huh? | 19:11 |
| RonzO | MrKennie, including the dvd's and whatnot | 19:11 |
| Tanalark | ok.. I am used to PC Linux OS... I just "ported" over... and I'm used to doing all of my installations and such through the package manager. | 19:12 |
| sledge | jim_p: you can get the mod from me when i host the server | 19:12 |
| utabak | exit | 19:12 |
| Whitor | Tanalark, you are in luck! Ubuntu has the Synaptic Package Manager | 19:12 |
| Tanalark | is there a general guide to setting up shortcuts and such? it's a pain in the ass to have to go through the menu to open a terminal all the time. | 19:12 |
| MrKennie | RonzO: it is my understanding medibuntu is for packages that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons | 19:12 |
| Tanalark | oh, that would be neat. :) | 19:12 |
| Tanalark | does it work like it does in KDE? | 19:12 |
| jim_p | ok sledge | 19:12 |
| Whitor | Tanalark, check out System -> Administration -> synaptic | 19:13 |
| Whitor | Tanalark, Absolutely it works with KDE | 19:13 |
| RonzO | MrKennie, they can't be included in the cd...but they are available in the repositories. libdvdcss2 is in there because in other parts of the world...they can use decoders for dvd's legally | 19:13 |
| Tanalark | oh! cool. :) | 19:13 |
| Whitor | you will like it. its very comprehensive | 19:13 |
| Whitor | have fun! | 19:13 |
| RonzO | and Tanalark , just do sudo apt-get install skype. its in the repositories w/o the medibuntu, just checked it on mine | 19:14 |
| Tanalark | oh, I was aware that it worked with KDE... I just came from PCLOS 2007, which is in KDE... it works the same in Gnome? | 19:14 |
| sledge | does anyone know how i can extract a zip in command line | 19:14 |
| applesauce | sledge: unzip | 19:14 |
| Grey_Loki | sledge, 'unzip' :) | 19:14 |
| Whitor | Tanalark, Gnome, Xfce, awesome... any window manager you want | 19:14 |
| ichbinesderelch | sledge: unzip <filename> | 19:14 |
| RonzO | Tanalark, yup. =) any kde app works in gnome, and any gnome app works in kde | 19:14 |
| Tanalark | thanks a lot! :) | 19:14 |
| Tanalark | I didn't realize that. | 19:14 |
| applesauce | you can use 7zip too | 19:14 |
| Tanalark | so.. next question. | 19:14 |
| sledge | ok thanks | 19:14 |
| Tanalark | is there a general guide to setting up shortcuts and such? it's a pain in the ass to have to go through the menu to open a terminal all the time. | 19:15 |

| Tanalark | how about keyboard shortcuts? | 19:16 |

| MrKennie | E: Package skype has no installation candidate | 19:16 |
| RonzO | Tanalark, keyboard shortcuts from system > prefferences | 19:16 |

I'm running into a problem with my Ubuntu install (Hardy Heron 8.04, I believe) in which the GUI side works fine, but when I try to ctrl-alt-F1 out to console, it goes schizo - I get half a screen of garbled partial white characters on black, and they flicker. Ctrl-alt-F7 brings me back to the UI side just fine, but I'd really love to get the console side working properly. Any thoughts? | 19:23 |

| Kharnov | Okay, I think I found a crude, temporary fix to the Network Manager issue. | 20:17 |
| ackdesha | I have a situation where I want to users to have write permission on a folder. I've created a new group and added both users to the group and then I've done a recursive chgrp on the dir. This is all great until someone creates a new file and the new file's group isn't the common group. How can I make the chgrp setting persistent for new files? thx | 20:17 |
| poot | k, thank you. | 20:18 |
| Kharnov | I just got rid of Network Manager and replaced it with network-config. Run it from the command line and voila, your internets work. | 20:18 |

| * Skiessi goes :D | 20:22 | |
| Skiessi | and why did I post a link to it? | 20:23 |
| _bright_ | UserRobert1967: You better install Ubunut desktop and install apache, php and mysql by XAMPP | 20:23 |
| _bright_ | is a lot easyer | 20:23 |
| Pici | _bright_: No, that is not the supported method. | 20:23 |
| UserRobert1967 | XAMPP? or LAMP? | 20:23 |
| _bright_ | um... | 20:23 |
| _bright_ | LAMPP is for Linux | 20:23 |
| _bright_ | XAMPP for Windows | 20:24 |
| bingungbanget | hello, i has some problem with my wireless router, i'd just install the router, and my pc (windows) and notebook (ubuntu) works well, then I restart both of them, the PC still can connect (with wired to the router), but my ubuntu can't find any wifi, i'd checked, lsmode, and the wlan detected, i'd tried with my cellphone, and the wifi detected, anyone know how to solve this issues please ? | 20:24 |
| _bright_ | so use LAMPP | 20:24 |
| Pici | UserRobert1967: XAMPP is a third party package that bypasses the repositories and we cannot support that here. | 20:24 |
| Pici | !lamp | 20:24 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 20:24 |
| UserRobert1967 | what is the difference between Ubunto server and Ubunto | 20:24 |
| chronic1 | I'm having a bit of audio issues with my newest machine and ubuntu....it seems that gstreamer/pulse sources produce no sound but lock the resource to the sound device | 20:24 |
| UserRobert1967 | And the soundcard worked under Suse11 and FC9. But not under Debian and Ubuntu. I prefer Ubuntu btw | 20:25 |
| Pici | UserRobert1967: Ubuntu server uses a kernel that is designed to work on high-memory machines, beyond that, its just down the the default packages installed, nothing else. | 20:25 |
| _bright_ | Ubuntu server has no desktop envirement like Gnome or KDE | 20:25 |
| chronic1 | however, alsa (mplayer, vlc, amarok) is fine...any ideas on how to get gstreamer/pulse to work also? (I've already tried setting the specific sink in gstramer-properties) | 20:25 |

| ichbinesderelch | bingungbanget: by nic i meant the name of the network interface, like wlan0 | 20:26 |
| _bright_ | kri: just type irssi | 20:26 |
| kri | and do i have to restart irssi to take the change effects | 20:26 |
| chronic1 | kri: what do you mean? have you ran updatedb? | 20:26 |
| tictac232434 | "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" | 20:27 |
| chronic1 | or maybe `which irssi` | 20:27 |
| tictac232434 | Any Ideas? | 20:27 |
| kri | no but i would like to modify it a little | 20:27 |
| Pici | kri: ~/.irssi/config is where your user's config is normally sotred. | 20:27 |
| migm2 | so i have two network cards, and i can see them both in lspci and they're functioning, the both of them. How do i figure out which one is which in ifconfig? | 20:27 |
| Pici | kri: stored rather. | 20:27 |
| _bright_ | locate irssi or whereis irssi | 20:27 |
| kri | i want to show timestams hh:mm:ss | 20:27 |
| _bright_ | but irssi is bin so you can use it just in the terminal | 20:27 |
| chronic1 | kri: better to ask in #irssi | 20:27 |
| bingungbanget | <ichbinesderelch> : sorry i'm very new to these stuff, could u please tell me what should i type ? | 20:27 |
| Pici | kri: within irssi: /set timestamp_format | 20:28 |
| kri | thanks | 20:28 |
| ichbinesderelch | bingungbanget: "ifconfig" gives the output of your network interfaces, i guess there will bi eth0 and any other? | 20:28 |

| bytor4232 | Hey, something wierd has happened. I'm running Intrepid Beta, updated to today. When I hit Fn and one of the brightness buttons, I get a wierd plus/minus character on my screen. | 20:35 |
| maniheer | !intrepid | bytor4232 | 20:35 |
| ubottu | bytor4232: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, NOT #ubuntu | 20:35 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: does this happen when you're playing it, or when you' | 20:36 |
| _Zeus_ | *re moving through it? | 20:36 |
| bytor4232 | Whops, my bad. Sorry guys. | 20:36 |
| maniheer | :D | 20:36 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: When I click it and the Movie player opens the error message comes up. | 20:36 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: that's odd, then i don't know what it is | 20:36 |
| rsc- | Tundrayeti311, you mean the alsa sink is messed up as it's not routing it to pulseaudio like it should? | 20:36 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: Mplayer from GNOME works but error message still comes up and I prefer Movie player much more. | 20:37 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: maybe the file is messed up? | 20:37 |
| Tundrayeti311 | rsc-: yes | 20:37 |
| TJ-42 | how is is that according to the program "htop", 2 cores of my cpu are being utilized 100%, but no single process is using more than 15% (and seeming to total to 25%)? | 20:37 |
| _Zeus_ | TJ-42: try using gnome-system-monitor, that should give more data | 20:37 |
| rsc- | Tundrayeti311, how do if ix it? | 20:37 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: I donno I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing Movie player and codec's and have installed Ubuntu restricted also. | 20:37 |
| Skeleton_Eel | tictac232434 : try smplayer | 20:37 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: are all the mp3s like this? | 20:37 |
| tictac232434 | yea | 20:38 |
| TJ-42 | _Zeus_: system monitor shows 0% cpu usage for every single process | 20:38 |
| regeya | tictac232434: any chance an upgrade might have removed those restricted codecs? | 20:38 |
| _Zeus_ | TJ-42: gah... | 20:38 |
| MeVsTheVoices | What package is load-module found in? | 20:38 |
| tictac232434 | Skeleton: does smplayer have a feature where if it is already playing an song and u double click another it will switch over instead of opening it in another window? | 20:38 |
| _Zeus_ | TJ-42: and nothing shows up in htop? | 20:38 |
| tictac232434 | Reg: Nope | 20:38 |
| tictac232434 | Reg: Did it yesturday and tried reinstalling restriction a few mins ago | 20:39 |
| TJ-42 | _Zeus_: some things show up in htop, but it doesn't seem like it would account for the total cpu usage being reported | 20:39 |
| tonix | somebody out there can explain me why the deb package of samba in ubuntu modify the files /etc/pam.d/common-password and /etc/pam.d/common-auth in order to sync unix passwords to samba password? thanks a lot | 20:39 |

| Tundrayeti311 | rsc-: Double check to make sure you have all of the pulse packages installed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio... or u may just need your /etc/asound.conf as described | 20:39 |
| _Zeus_ | TJ-42: you do realize that the percentages of htop include all the cores | 20:39 |
| comicinker | question: can I resize an encrypted partition (ext2) with gparted without destroying it? for encryption Luks is used | 20:40 |
| _Zeus_ | TJ-42: so if you have a dual-core, and it's using 50%, that's 1 core@100% and another core @0% | 20:40 |
| _Zeus_ | or both at 50, etc | 20:40 |
| tictac232434 | So any ideas? | 20:40 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: no, i don't... are all mp3s like that? | 20:40 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: yea | 20:40 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: you could reinstall lame | 20:41 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: Was working just fine a few hours ago | 20:41 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: any updates? | 20:41 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: Yea but I can-not remember which | 20:41 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: are you using intrepid? | 20:41 |
| webas | can anyone help me with grub a little bit :| | 20:42 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: The updates should not have affected playing music files. | 20:42 |
| _Zeus_ | !ask | webas | 20:42 |
| ubottu | webas: 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. :-) | 20:42 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: I am using Hardy hero 8.0.4 LTS | 20:42 |
| tictac232434 | Heron* | 20:42 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: what do you mean? updates can effect anything. | 20:42 |
| TJ-42 | _Zeus_: it seems to be right some times, but when my system slows to a halt, I often see nothing with cpu% above 15. on my quad core that could account for 60% of one core, but still when you add it all up it doesn't really seem to account for several full cores being used -- the processes look quite like they do when the cores are all below 10%. | 20:42 |
| tictac232434 | Zues: The updates I was installing were for like flash or something stupid like that | 20:42 |
| Tundrayeti311 | Am i correct that /etc/asound.conf is system-wide, while ~/.asoundrc will override for that specific user? | 20:42 |
| _Zeus_ | Tundrayeti311: sounds right | 20:43 |
| webas | _zeus i tried to fix grub few times before and i succeded..but now using same guide i get an error15 ( find /boot/grub/stage1 ) | 20:43 |
| _Zeus_ | tictac232434: updates can still effect anything | 20:43 |
| tim167 | is this lame or what: cannot create a FOLDER because a FILE with the same name already exists in that location... wth ? | 20:43 |

| Skeleton_Eel | _Zeus_ : ok . thx :) | 20:45 |

| ichbinesderelch | genii: thx | 21:19 |
| Mixed_--_ | bert123, i suggest you save you backup your windows files first before you try anything, if there are errors on the hard drive windows is very good at messing those up, back up your data first! | 21:19 |
| Tybear241083 | bert123: did you perhaps un-check the box that said it would create a boot file. it should give you a screen called grub when you first try to boot and give you the choice of which OS to use. does it do that? | 21:19 |
| bert123 | DieseL`, appears so... i can browse to the files through ubuntu | 21:19 |

| DieseL` | bert123 do what Mixed_--_ said, backup first | 21:20 |

| DieseL` | bert123 when your data is backed up, have a look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and see if theres any mention of windows in there | 21:22 |
| Tybear241083 | dr_willis: I am a newbee so I haven't heard of it. how do I start that? also, does nvidia settings normally give you some prompts and things? am I just not running it properly?? | 21:22 |

| tictac232434 | I am having Audio problems can someone help me? | 21:22 |

| Polysics | hi all | 21:23 |
| Polysics | quick question: is it feasible to use ubuntu off an USB key for everyday work? | 21:23 |
| Kemon | Did you install ubuntu or windows first? | 21:23 |
| Tybear241083 | bert123: I agree that if you are going to do anything funny then you should back stuff up. are you able to go to the grub menu? if so you will get an option to boot from windows there | 21:23 |
| Polysics | which size of a key would i need? does speed matter, like those high-speed keys they sell for vista memory booost? | 21:24 |
| bert123 | Tybear241083, DieseL` just check the grub.menu.lst file and there is no mention of windows in there... | 21:24 |
| bert123 | *checked | 21:24 |
| DieseL` | so for some reason windows didn't get detected properly | 21:25 |
| bert123 | Tybear241083, there is only the default 3 options in the grub menu when i go to it (2x ubuntu's and a mem test) | 21:25 |
| DieseL` | i'd suggest a reinstall of grub, but i've never managed one over the top of an existing installation | 21:26 |
| Tybear241083 | bert123: I think something must have gone wrong with the installation. at least you can see your windows files. but, are those your doc files or are there windows system files on there too? | 21:26 |

| node357 | bert123, some of the info here might be helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 21:29 |
| thiebaude | !root | 21:29 |
| ubottu | 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 | 21:29 |

| vocx | bert123, you should be able to run "update-grub" to redo the menu.lst and have the possibility to boot Windows. Read the manual and see what parameters you need to give. | 21:31 |
| knut | hi, how can i change the image of the gnome main menu button??? | 21:31 |
| node357 | bert123, from that command prompt the command fixmbr will delete Grub | 21:31 |
| eitreach | knut: head into gconf-editor | 21:31 |
| Tybear241083 | bert123: try Mixed_--_'s idea. I think a recovery of windows will do the trick. also, are you running a mixture of SATA and ATA at all? | 21:31 |
| thiebaude | !sudo | 21:31 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 21:31 |
| Mixed_--_ | DieseL, you need to mark your windows partition as active, you can boot up using any boot-up windows cd, use fdisk and set your windows partition as the active partition | 21:31 |

| genii | d_dyer: You're welcome | 21:40 |
| MrKeuner | hi all, will a for loop of n loops on a quad 'some core' running Hardy run 4 times faster than a single 'some core' running on Hardy? Or do I need a special compiler on a quad core? | 21:41 |
| macd__ | vocx, assumming its reported or fixed in ubuntu, not just upstream ;) | 21:41 |
| macd__ | vocx, besides we all know how the bugsquad LOVES to triage 50 duplicates of the same bug | 21:41 |
| badfish | any ideas why i gotta run oo as root to be able to print? | 21:42 |
| vocx | macd__, yeah, that's what I mean, no need to report a bug of a very common program. | 21:42 |
| macd__ | vocx, but what if its not reported at all | 21:43 |
| juak | hello all, need a little help with iptables please | 21:43 |
| vocx | hadi57, you need a little more info than that, check the kernel messages, which kernel do they use, what's the version of the module "airo" they are using, what dependencies, etcetera. | 21:43 |
| embrik | in what file do I change content of main menu in gnome? | 21:44 |
| vocx | macd__, about Compiz?! Yeah, nobody likes Compiz anyway, who would notice? | 21:44 |
| eitreach | embrik: you can right-click your menu and edit it that way. | 21:44 |
| d_dyer | How do i Find "broken Packages?" | 21:44 |
| eitreach | embrik: or are you looking for the config file to edit manually? | 21:44 |
| macd__ | vocx, hehehe, like compiz crasghed with sigsev bug that has around 600 dups and 50 pages of people whining? | 21:44 |
| embrik | eitreach, yes | 21:45 |
| hadi57 | how to find out that? | 21:45 |
| kri | hi | 21:45 |
| eitreach | embrik: one second. | 21:45 |
| vocx | macd__, exactly. | 21:45 |
| carsten | hi , how can i install a older version of svn with apt-get? | 21:45 |
| vocx | macd__, aren't those bugs reported automatically with some utility, what's it called? | 21:45 |
| kri | what java codec should i get 'sudo apt-get install <what packgae>' so i can play online poker | 21:45 |
| eitreach | embrik: ~/.config/menus/ | 21:46 |
| juak | anybody has experience with iptables in ubuntu? | 21:46 |
| eitreach | embrik: gah.. I don't think it's the right one anyway. Pardon. | 21:46 |
| omni | I'm trying to set up a web-only kiosk. I've used debian as the base, and I need a way to make the system reboot when X dies for a certain user (or when firefox dies for that user). I notice that ubuntu automatically reboots when you end your X session - can anyone explain how I can emulate this? | 21:46 |
| kri | and what adobe flash player shoud i get 'sudo apt-get install <what package> so i can watch youtube/youporn? | 21:46 |
| embrik | eitreach, Ok - I've been there -but I'll invesitgate a bit more - the funny thing is that every choice from the main menu is in the right language, but not the titles | 21:47 |
| vocx | kri, if it's java, then sun-java6-jre, or maybe openjdk6 or something | 21:47 |
| carsten | kri use flash 10 | 21:47 |
| Guiri | Anyone familiar with mounting samba via fstab? when I sudo mount -a it says that the line is bad but it matches the forum post and the community doc. | 21:47 |
| ompaul | juak, you should tell people what you want to do with them, some of us would know nothing, some would know some, and some would know a lot | 21:47 |
| eitreach | embrik: Have you added complete language support? Most times it's not installed completely for some reason on a regular install. | 21:47 |
| solar_ | is dr_willis online pls | 21:48 |
| juak | ompaul i'm tryiing to do some routing in my network following a tutorial on the web, i have almost no experience with iptables, and i'm getting missing libraries from the iptables package | 21:48 |
| vocx | kri, the flash plugin is called, flash-nonfree or something like that, use synaptic to find the exact package, or from the terminal "aptitude search java" or "flash" instead | 21:48 |
| hadi57 | vocx, how find out about the driver, what shell i type in terminal windows? | 21:49 |
| embrik | eitreach, don't know - I have just installed - from a usb-stick - How do I add complete language support? | 21:49 |
| solar_ | is there anyway to bypass acpi option while booting in a laptop pls// | 21:49 |
| eitreach | embrik: System > Administration > Language Support | 21:49 |
| juak | when i try to use the "route" target i get this: "iptables v1.3.8: Couldn't load target `ROUTE':/lib/iptables/libipt_ROUTE.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 21:49 |
| ompaul | juak, why are you trying to build them? they are there already | 21:49 |
| ompaul | juak, type sudo iptables -L | 21:50 |
| juak | but not for my needs...i'm following a tutorial on using several outbound connections to aggregate bandwith | 21:50 |
| vocx | hadi57, at this point you would like to ask the guys from the other OS. Since this may change between distributions. But usually in any linux system you should be able to get sources and tell what you have installed. | 21:50 |
| solar_ | ompaul is there any way to bypass acpi while booting into a laptop | 21:50 |
| ompaul | !bootoptions | solar_ read this one ;-) | 21:51 |
| ubottu | solar_ read this one ;-): For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 21:51 |
| embrik | eitreach, thanks a lot - I had been there but I thought everything was fine, because I saw my anguage as default language for new users. But language support wasn't installed | 21:51 |
| nach_ | hi ! | 21:51 |
| Kattollikisd | how to install the wbar in ubuntu 8.04? | 21:51 |
| ompaul | juak, you want to do multicasting .. now that is not something I would know how to do | 21:51 |
| eitreach | embrik: np. hope it works after that. | 21:51 |
| solar_ | thank you very much | 21:51 |
| ompaul | with iptables at any rate | 21:51 |
| hadi57 | if i find out, what driver, then how to install it in ubuntu? | 21:51 |
| nach_ | where can i disable the terminal shortcut keyboard ? | 21:51 |
| vocx | hadi57, for instance you can search around the /usr/share/ for kernel modules or stuff. Type "dmesg" in the terminal to view the kernel messages too. | 21:51 |
| ompaul | solar_, that page took a lot of work :) | 21:52 |
| kri | what means with the flashplugin-nonfree? | 21:52 |
| nach_ | cause when using vim, the F1 is not available whihc is bad... | 21:52 |
| kri | its not open source? | 21:52 |
| vocx | hadi57, hadi57 get the source, usually a bunch of C files and headers, and compile it on ubuntu. | 21:52 |
| eitreach | nach_: System > Settings > Keyboard shortcuts | 21:52 |
| bobertdos | nach_: System->Preferemces->Keyboard Shortcuts | 21:52 |
| ompaul | kri, you don't have the freedom to do what you want with it, you don't get the source, and it is costless | 21:52 |
| vocx | kri, exactly, it is not free software. The free software implementation is not that good, it's called "gnash". | 21:53 |
| bobertdos | kri: correct | 21:53 |
| pippomusch | hi | 21:53 |

| hadi57 | compile? i new to linux, starting to like it, in this case, i think ill be stuck, or buy another card | 21:53 |
| ompaul | juak, no point, I don't know how to use IPtables for multicasting | 21:53 |
| solar_ | but it is showing kernel panic while booting in no splash mode// | 21:53 |
| nach_ | bobertdos: thanks for trying to help, but it's not the way | 21:53 |

| badfish | or how i can fix it? | 21:54 |
| juak | nevertheless the tutorial wasn't using multicasting | 21:54 |
| Mixed_--_ | badfish go look at your configuration using the web interface and see what you find | 21:55 |
| juak | it was marking outgoing packets with connmark on a percentage basis | 21:55 |
| bobertdos | nach_: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 21:55 |
| juak | and then routing the packets based on the mark over the various gateways | 21:55 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | i haven't installed emerald... i installed AWN, should it be the cause of my missing borders? | 21:55 |
| badfish | Mixed_--_: in cups? | 21:55 |
| vocx | hadi57, it's not that hard to compile, but if you are just starting don't complicate yourself, if you think buying another card would solve your problem, then go for it. There are various options to get things done, but you need to read and investigate a little. | 21:56 |
| kri | the java seems not to work after closed down the firefox | 21:56 |
| simu | hello, my new external monitor (flat 19:8) has kinda pink color and flickers slightly | 21:56 |

| bla1 | Sorry, i mean to say, My gparted booted into the live cd will not let me set mount points for some reason, do i have something not enabled that i need enabled to do this?... better way to ask the question | 22:49 |
| Babylykke | It does take so much space on my panel, so I need to have two panels instead of one. | 22:49 |
| vocx | GodfatherofEire, you need to get your facts straight first! What is a program? What does compiling mean? What's the difference between scripting and compiled languages? Try the ubuntuforums.org, the programming talk subforum, read the stickies. | 22:50 |

| bla1 | Babylykke: I can tell you it is possible, but I don't know how | 22:50 |
| ianm_ | Babylykke: yes, right click on the panel and add "Main Menu" | 22:50 |
| Ward1983 | vocx, nah cannot do that, i was gonna try load balancing my network and the neighbours wireless network (got his permission) but i cannot change his SSID because then all his windoze comps need to be reconfigured | 22:50 |
| Ward1983 | because the SSID changed | 22:50 |

| Ward1983 | (btw windows actually DOES work with any spaces) | 22:50 |

| Babylykke | hmm.. you guys didn`t understand what I meant. | 22:50 |
| FatalError | bla1, I don't know that it makes sense for gparted to set mount points from there.. to do that it would have to access your /etc/fstab on your linux install.. and if it's the standalone gparted livecd I'm not sure I'd expect it to do that | 22:51 |

| Thisdude | its better like that dont you get it your not suing windows | 22:52 |
| FatalError | bla1, ah ok. Hm. It's strange, ut you can always do this yourself later by changing /etc/fstab | 22:52 |

| * bla1 nods at FatalError | 22:53 | |

| emorris | vocx: I have top running in a terminal, and when it starts responding again, it shows 50% cpu on Xorg, so maybe it is. | 22:57 |
| vocx | almostautomated_, does it matter? If it works leave it that way, or you mean it doesn't work? | 22:57 |
| almostautomated_ | I'm guessing the MAC changed (it's a vm) and needs to be refreshed/reconfigured somehow | 22:58 |
| harveyd | wow, tilda looks perfect, cheers | 22:58 |
| almostautomated_ | It works for a few minutes; then goes 'offline' and the applet doesn't show a connection at all | 22:58 |
| vocx | emorris, yes, I've seen it too. For some reason Xorg sometimes sucks a lot of resources. It has to do with the drivers and 3D acceleration. For instance I don't use 3D, and even gedit lags pretty bad sometimes. Don't use just "top", use "htop" | 22:59 |

| DasEi1 | rsc-: for example to connect to your home server on a internet-cafe | 23:22 |
| rsc- | CaptainMorgan, i know that Ubuntu can do OpenVPN but why would I want to? | 23:22 |
| CaptainMorgan | rsc-, look up vpn on google. In large part, it's extremely useful for employees to access their employer's internal network | 23:22 |
| rsc- | what situation would call for an OpenVPN sollution? | 23:22 |
| compengi | visik7, yes | 23:22 |
| f|uke | I can ssh to my desktop but I cant xdmcp or smb or nfs to it... ;( any good faqs on connectivity? | 23:22 |
| rsc- | CaptainMorgan, I want to do that actually, but I'm not sure if my employer's network is set up for that | 23:22 |
| rsc- | or is there no need for any extra setup on my office's network? | 23:22 |
| Tundrayeti311 | rsc-: you need a vpn host and client | 23:23 |
| CaptainMorgan | rsc-, you'll need to contact your company's IT dept to find out | 23:23 |
| vocx | bender1337, check your RAM, change motherboards, change video card. Randomly freezing is extremely bad. | 23:23 |

| _Nicola_ | I brought my laptop with me to Brazil, and now when I try to update it is taking a prohibitively long time. could this be related to the sources being downloaded from US servers? | 23:23 |

| rsc- | okay | 23:23 |
| kelder | hmm sounds unlikely, but you can try.. in software sources you can switch to a different country/server | 23:24 |
| alsetcoil | I am looking for something with more flexibility than xwinwrap, I want to not only have a rendered animation, I want it to have a certain level of interactivity. Such as speech recognition. | 23:24 |
| heret|c | last time i encountered someone with random freezing, he had overclocked his cpu and was reluctant to tell us, we went through building a new kernel with different options several times before we worked it outta him. the overclock was the problem even though he claimed he was an oc'ing "expert" | 23:24 |
| heret|c | people are idiots | 23:24 |
| vocx | _Nicola_, yes sure. Maybe you could use the brazilian servers | 23:24 |

| justin___ | Is there a way to chkdsk a NTFS partition from ubuntu? | 23:24 |
| CaptainMorgan | rsc-, for example - my IT Dept gave me a scrambler, that mixes employee information with the network, providing a pin I can use to login to the network. They can also provide vpn setting information...depending on the network | 23:24 |

| rsc- | justin___, sorry, but there's none at the moment | 23:25 |
| vocx | heret|c, that's a great story! | 23:25 |
| k0de | justin___, ntfsfix, which is a part of ntfsprogs, may be what you're looking for | 23:25 |
| DasEi1 | justin___:nope | 23:25 |
| _Nicola_ | thanks, will check the speedtest site now | 23:25 |

| visik7 | compengi: use tmp as backup dir and then move the files | 23:43 |
| vocx | wallrus, were you able to mount the NTFS drives? | 23:43 |
| keneda | Tundrayeti311--- 'till then i could not stop | 23:43 |
| almostautomated_ | rsc-: your saying that if someone manually edits the /etc/network/interfaces file that network manager wont work after that? | 23:44 |
| blak` | vocx: so if i move it and my files are accesible though it most likely is totally fine? | 23:44 |
| vocx | blak`, yes | 23:44 |
| compengi | visik7, so i'll chmod mysql:msql tmp | 23:44 |
| jasuus | i wonder what percentage of questions in here are related to mounting and unmounting various drives | 23:44 |

| FastPutty | is there a channel or a server tat i can have information in computer networking? | 23:44 |
| FastPutty | routing etc.. | 23:44 |
| visik7 | compengi: no without | 23:44 |
| Edulix | is there a command to know to which *installed* package correspond a file in my system? | 23:44 |
| wallrus | yes, i think.. brb vocx | 23:44 |
| keneda | Tundrayeti311--- i guess when i tried linux b4 it was still early but now it mature really well ... more and more are making apps for it | 23:44 |
| almostautomated_ | rsc-: I hate to say it, but if that is indeed the way it works, then that is plainly a bad setup | 23:44 |
| visik7 | Edulix: dpkg -S /path/to/file | 23:45 |
| keneda | i like it | 23:45 |
| compengi | visik7, same error =/ | 23:45 |
| visik7 | compengi: works for me | 23:45 |
| rsc- | almostautomated_, no, not really. im saying taht if you configure your network connection through, say, /etc/network/interfaces... then NetworkManager will not recognize that connection you configured there. hence it'll always assume that you don't have a connection | 23:45 |
| Tundrayeti311 | keneda: good | 23:45 |
| keneda | aight ... i think i got to feed my body with food | 23:45 |

| blak` | If i downloaded the latest ubuntu .iso livecd and have run that and run gparted in it, is that the same as using gparated live cd? | 23:46 |
| rsc- | almostautomated_, I get the same problem when I use wvdial (to connect using my cellphone) or iwconfig :) | 23:46 |
| almostautomated_ | rsc-: and how do you resolve it, when that happens? | 23:46 |
| basti | blak`, yes | 23:46 |
| kansan | i have a microsoft mouse, and i would like have it (1) when i click left & right buttons at same time it pastes stuff in the register (2) when i click the middle button it pastes the register. currently neither works. microsfot wireless mouse | 23:46 |
| basti | it may be another version, but will do the same | 23:46 |
| blak` | basti: why would i not be able to create anything but primary partitions with it? | 23:46 |
| vocx | blak`, yes, basically. It's possible that some version of gparted wasn't compiled with support for a specific filesystem though. But in general they should be the same. | 23:47 |
| rsc- | almostautomated_, I just set Firefox to not work offline (file -> uncheck "work offline"), unfortunately | 23:47 |
| compengi | visik7, i have no idea what could be the problem in then =/ | 23:47 |
| blak` | vocx: i dont' get why it wont let me create an extended partition though, it is greyed out, only will let me make 4 primary ones | 23:47 |
| rsc- | almostautomated_, at one point in time I just removed NetworkManager completely and it eliminated that problem (though of course I didn't have NM) | 23:47 |
| almostautomated_ | rsc-: Yeah; that is the repeated action that led to my frustration, and hence the question in this channel :P | 23:48 |
| vocx | blak`, you can create 3 primary partitions, the 4th one is an extended one, within which you can create logical drives, you can't do that? | 23:48 |
| almostautomated_ | rsc-: did you happen to reinstall after uninstalling? | 23:48 |
| blak` | vocx: well right now i have extended with ubuntu on it, and the swap file... i have create a ntfs primary at the beginning of the drive and i wanted to create a /boot and /home partition | 23:48 |
| rsc- | almostautomated_, hehe, I share your grief. I haven't found a cure for it aside from removing NM entirely. Ive checked the forums too | 23:48 |
| arakthor | does anyone know how to create a new key ring from scratch? | 23:49 |
| blak` | vocx: It will not let me make another extended partition for /boot or /home | 23:49 |
| visik7 | compengi: run mysqldump with sudo | 23:49 |
| === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela | ||
| almostautomated_ | Memo_: I hadn't heard of that bug; does it sound like what is being described here? | 23:49 |
| vocx | blak`, you can only create 1 extended partition, this one is the one that can be devided in logical drives, so naturally the extended partition should be created at last and occupying all remaining space. | 23:50 |
| almostautomated_ | rsc-: At least I know now that I'm not the only one... don't know if I should be happy or sad about that though ;) | 23:50 |
| dude21 | quit | 23:50 |

| visik7 | compengi: on /tmp ? | 23:51 |
| blak` | vocx: so i would have to take this 6 gigs of unallocated space and put it back on to the beginning of my extended partition to put /boot and /home in front of the / (ubuntu) install | 23:51 |
| Memo_ | almostautomated_, I wasn't following the whole problem.. | 23:51 |
| rsc- | almostautomated_: "The solution is, either make sure nm-applet (the network manager applet) is running and knows you're connected, or uninstall network manager. The problem occurs somehow when applications like Pidgin, Epiphany etc. tries to check with the network manager if you're connected to internet, but nm-applet isn't running/doesn't know you're connected and therefore they're told you don't have an internet connection." | 23:51 |
| holyguyver | Where is the true location of my trash again? | 23:51 |
| Memo_ | almostautomated_, NetworkManager 0.7 as included in Ubuntu 8.10 Beta is not compatible with static network configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. New installations are not affected by this issue because NetworkManager will manage all interfaces by default. Users upgrading from previous Ubuntu releases can work around this issue by disabling NetworkManager at startup. | 23:51 |
| mdg | anyone using QuickStart on a powerpc? | 23:51 |
| MrKlean | Okay, here we go, I am having a problem with my ubuntu sound. I know that when you are using java that it tends to steal your sound, meaning that only java sound will work and no other sound will work. Well this has happened to me, except in a worse way. On boot my sound does not work except for java. Meaning that even after restarts and such, only sound in java will work while no other sound will work whatsoever, no java program | 23:51 |
| MrKlean | s are running. Any ideas for a fix. I have already tried using ALSA to no avail. Using Edgy | 23:51 |

It is very important that i do not lose any of the information on the computer! | 23:52 |

| vocx | blak`, perhaps you can take a screenshot of your setup and post it in imageshack, but what you describe seems okay, Although you don't necessary need all those partitions. Why do you want /boot anyway. | 23:52 |
| Tundrayeti311 | MrKlean: How about PulseAudio? | 23:52 |

| LjL | TRIGG3R: what *we* can tell you here is that you most certainly can get an ubuntu live cd and use it to view/edit your windows filesystem - it should be mounted automatically | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Troll: you dont install ubuntu on C:, C: is a windows partition | 23:55 |
| wallrus | yay vocx ! itś mounted.. i just don have permisson to access it | 23:56 |
| Troll | Yes I am installing on C: | 23:56 |
| blak` | aapzak: is it ok to have /home as a primary partition? | 23:56 |
| f|uke | C:/root O.o | 23:56 |
| KenBW2 | blak`: sure is | 23:56 |
| blak` | or does it have to be logical under the /root extended one? | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Troll: on with wubi | 23:56 |
| Troll | I need Linux on the same partition as Windows. So C: | 23:56 |
| aapzak | blak`: you can have only a few prim partitions, home can be one of them | 23:56 |
| blak` | excellent, thank you all. | 23:57 |
| vocx | blak`, it all depends on your needs. /home is useful for most people because they want to keep their stuff, /boot may have been useful years ago for different setups and stuff. Difference between primary or extenden partitions is not important really, to linux anyway, it's just allocated space. | 23:57 |
| TRIGG3R | LjL: thanks i think i have it figured out! | 23:57 |
| * blak` nods | 23:57 | |

| LjL | !games > KenBW2 (KenBW2, see the private message from Ubotu) | 23:57 |
| ubottu | KenBW2, please see my private message | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Troll: only with wubi or resizing your windos partition | 23:57 |
| almostautomated_ | rsc-: that's an interesting work around... sever the connection with nm | 23:57 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: i eman ones that come on CDs as with Windows (Sim City in this case) | 23:58 |
| aapzak | blak`: I have: / and swap as prim, opt and home as extended, but it doesn't really matter | 23:58 |
| Agrajag | KenBW2: if you're talking about games like Quake or UT, they generally use a graphical installer similar to the windows version | 23:58 |
| LjL | KenBW2, i bet those, most of the times, have their own installer just like on windows (except installers are usually a bad thing on linux) | 23:58 |
| vocx | blak`, the confusion around primary, extended, and the separate partitions comes from the old days of DOS and similar operating systems. Where having a 2000 MB drive was considered a huge amount of space, suitable for partitioning. | 23:58 |
| KenBW2 | Agrajag: how would it work what with "linux" meaning not much from an application level? | 23:58 |
| LjL | KenBW2: if they install to /opt or /usr/local, though, that shouldn't cause *too* much hassle with your system files | 23:59 |
| aapzak | blak`: but you cannot have more than 4 prims, extended is one of those four | 23:59 |
| dale | ok, found it, shift + pgup | 23:59 |
| tsv | hm, just upgraded to intrepid and now X cant see any input from the mouse or keyboard, it just sits there, any ideas? | 23:59 |
| wallrus | vocx http://pastebin.com/d6393fee8 gid 1001 is a user group named ntfs.. i added my user to it.. it still doesn't give me access | 23:59 |
| Agrajag | It's not too bad, you can just install it to /opt/games or something and just remove that directory and the settings in ~ | 23:59 |
| Troll | Thqanks!!!! | 23:59 |
| Agrajag | KenBW2: they're usually statically-linked binaries so they run on pretty much anything with the right hardware | 23:59 |
