| KenBW2 | Agrajag: i dont really know what that means but i'll take your word for it | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| LjL | KenBW2: it means that instead of relying on the libraries supplied by the system (which may be different versions and flavors depending on your distribution), they come with the libraries they need built right into the binary | 00:00 |
| dale | last question, how can I define 3/4 shortcuts for an application to come in to focus, like f1 -> firefox, f2 -> emacs, f -> shell | 00:00 |
| vocx | wallrus, in the options it says "ro", read-only, add "rw" read-writable instead. | 00:00 |
| LjL | KenBW2: that causes bloat, but makes it runnable on most linux systems | 00:00 |
| === Troll is now known as UnbannableTroll | ||
| dale | pressing alt+tab is just annoying | 00:01 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: does that mean it could run ion non-Linux OSs? | 00:01 |
| LjL | KenBW2: err, no, of course not | 00:02 |
| LjL | KenBW2: i said it makes it runnable on most *linux* systems | 00:02 |
| vocx | wallrus, http://pastebin.com/md15bbd4 | 00:02 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: well i thought "linux" was meaningless unless you were talking something low-level? | 00:02 |
| Agrajag | KenBW2: nope, it's still a linux ELF binary. You might be able to run it on something like a BSD system which has an ELF loader | 00:02 |
| Agrajag | but it's unlikely | 00:03 |
| LjL | KenBW2: you've heard too much nonsense from people who read stuff written by the FSF and don't understand it, then | 00:03 |
| Vincent91 | Quick question: I'm resizing a partition on my Dell XPS M1530 using the GParted live CD. Any clue as to how long it might take? It've been resizing it (220 Gb to 80 Gb) for about 15 minutes now and I wonder if the application is still responding, if it's actually doing something. | 00:03 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: no, i just dont know much :P | 00:03 |
| Elda | !ubotu Codec | 00:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotu codec | 00:03 |
| KenBW2 | Vincent91: depends how much data is there | 00:04 |
| f|uke | Vincent91, it could take about 3-6 hrs. | 00:04 |
| Elda | Meh.... anyone know how to go about getting information on the restricted codec package? Just reinstalled so adding everything back in :> | 00:04 |
| Vincent91 | About 55 Gb of info on there. 3-6 hrs? Never took that long back when I installed it on my other comp. | 00:04 |
| LjL | KenBW2, as long as you have the linux kernel, a suitable 3d driver for your video card, and a means of starting programs (a shell), then a binary that's got everything statically linked will do fine. | 00:04 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu-restriced-extras | 00:04 |
| blak` | Well thanks to all of you for all the information. I feel very enlightened on partitioning now! | 00:04 |
| LjL | KenBW2: but that doesn't mean it can work on a different kernel, as that kernel won't even have the slighest idea how to load that binary | 00:04 |
| Elda | KenBW2, thanks! | 00:05 |
| f|uke | Well. Maybe it depends on the format. I used it to resize a 150gig NTFS to 130 gig,.. and it took that long | 00:05 |

| vassler | ? | 00:07 |
| LjL | vassler, with an equalizer? | 00:07 |
| KenBW2 | vassler: welcome to proprietary formats - what you see is what you get | 00:07 |
| LjL | KenBW2: well, it's not like you can remove the bass from a Vorbs file, either... | 00:08 |
| wallrus | nope vocx, i can't even read it.. or 'cd'.. is says i don't have permission | 00:08 |
| vocx | blak`, http://pastebin.com/m78873abd instead of /dev/sda1 you could use the uuid | 00:08 |

| VSpike | If I have recovered an ext3 fs with ddrescue, but I have a couple of holes (bad sectors), when I do an fsck will it tell me if those holes are in the middle of files? IOTW, am I in danger of ending up with damaged files _without_being_aware_of_it_? | 00:08 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: thats just a container (i think). ive long loved the idea of an audio format you can pick bits out of | 00:08 |
| deathbyninja | does anyone have weird problems with the program windows turning transparent when you maximize them? | 00:08 |
| LjL | KenBW2: Ogg is a container, Vorbis is a lossy audio format | 00:08 |
| deathbyninja | only certain parts | 00:08 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: oh yea. does my idea make sense btw? | 00:09 |
| webas | can anyone please tell how to unrar files not via terminal? | 00:09 |
| deathbyninja | download linrar | 00:09 |
| f|uke | deathbyninja, sounds like a compiz setting issue | 00:09 |
| LjL | KenBW2: of course it does, it's called multi-track audio, been used for decades | 00:09 |
| vocx | wallrus, did you read my last responses about changing read write? By the way, you do not need to reboot to test this. Just issue the corresponding "mount" commands. Also, instead of using /dev/sda1 use the UUID. | 00:09 |
| webas | linrar? :) okay i will try | 00:09 |
| matt__ | I have an Ubuntu server running ssh-server. Right now I use a random port for it, but at school the port I am using is blocked, so I can't ssh into the server from school. I know that 20,21,possibly 22 are open. I have been told to never use the "default ports" for security reasons, but if my password it strong, I'll be ok won't i? | 00:09 |
| vocx | !uuid | wallrus | 00:09 |
| ubottu | wallrus: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 00:09 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: is that by definition Open Source? | 00:09 |
| Shadow__X | hi can someone help me java applets arent working in firefox | 00:09 |
| LjL | KenBW2: the current agreed-upon definitely of "open source" applies to software, not music | 00:10 |
| tj83 | webas, also, package "rar" is in the repo.. but uncertain of the cli command | 00:10 |
| deathbyninja | fluke: explain | 00:10 |
| LjL | definition* | 00:10 |
| blak` | vocx: i'm still on the live boot of the cd do i need to mount my sda1? | 00:10 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: music *is* software, as long as it's in digital format, right? | 00:10 |
| LjL | KenBW2: err... no | 00:10 |

| matt__ | jasuus: On Russia's list? Oh noes! | 00:10 |
| LjL | KenBW2: no | 00:10 |
| LjL | KenBW2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software | 00:11 |
| tj83 | KenBW2, i think "data" would be more correct terminology | 00:11 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: so whats a jpeg? | 00:11 |
| Agrajag | data | 00:11 |
| vocx | blak`, I thought you wanted to mount the new partition as /home, so you should put that in the file /etc/fstab that way, upon reboot the kernel will mount the partitions and you are ready to go. | 00:11 |
| matt__ | jasuus: What about "default" acconts? I log on as matt, so what other things should I perhaps secure? | 00:11 |
| KenBW2 | tj83: fair enough | 00:11 |

| KenBW2 | LjL: doesn't it have a parent term? | 00:12 |
| LjL | KenBW2: "JPEG" is a lossy compression format for natural image, encumbered by patents | 00:12 |
| blak` | vocx: i think i may need to install grub again first huh? since i know have winxp at the beginning of the drive? | 00:12 |

| === DjViper is now known as _DjViper | ||
| vocx | blak`, well, yes you can have access to it immediately, just create a directory and mount it there. You do not need exactly to reinstall grub because windows is at the beginning of the disc, since in fact grub is at the MBR a reserved space that is not accessible to normal programs or even OS. | 00:13 |
| morth_ | what kind of FTP client do you suggest i use? anyone heard anything good about FileZilla? | 00:13 |
| jayde_drag0n | can you combine partitions without losing data? | 00:13 |
| LjL | KenBW2, if you take the divine comedy and put it into ASCII text, that doesn't turn the divine comedy into a "format". it's still the divine comedy, just digitally stored. it's stored *using* a format (ASCII) to encode it. | 00:14 |
| tj83 | blak` lemme understand.. you want to mount /home with a separate partition? if you have trouble getting the answers you need i can try to help /join #seaphor if you like. | 00:14 |
| tj83 | vocx, your welcome also if you would like to make a team effort of it. | 00:14 |

| vocx | tj83, I saw him first an hour ago... who is helping who? | 00:15 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: so what would you call what i was thinking? | 00:15 |
| blak` | Well I just moved my / (ubuntu is installed here) to the back of the drive and NTFS is in the front... i'm running ubuntu LIve cd right now... | 00:15 |

| KenBW2 | LjL: the pick-and-choose audio, er, file | 00:15 |
| LjL | KenBW2: a multi-track audio file | 00:15 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: as a collective term? | 00:16 |
| blak` | it's ok guys, the more help the better | 00:16 |
| LjL | KenBW2: a multi-track audio format | 00:16 |
| vocx | tj83, I am, I was just messing with you. Please take him to your channel. | 00:16 |
| LjL | KenBW2: actually, many *existing* widely employed formats support multi-track perfectly fine | 00:16 |
| csilk | edju, you shoul dbe able to safely delete that file | 00:16 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: as in what do a jpeg, mp3, mpeg, doc etc have in common | 00:16 |
| LjL | KenBW2: any audio file that contains stereo audio has two tracks - one for right and one for left | 00:16 |
| csilk | *should be | 00:16 |

| LjL | KenBW2: right, but "a" JPEG [image] is not a format. JPEG itself is a format. | 00:18 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: so a file is a file, the way it's stored is a format | 00:18 |
| LjL | KenBW2: right | 00:18 |
| DIL | is a rose a hibiscus | 00:18 |
| f|uke | Meh. Semantics. Don't be a robot. | 00:19 |
| LjL | KenBW2: or if you want fancier terms, the "file" is "digitally encoded data", and the "format" is "a digital encoding" | 00:19 |
| webas | why it is so difficult in linux to unrar unzip copy files and folders with many files :| | 00:19 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: ill stick with file and format for now i think :P | 00:19 |
| LjL | webas: it is? | 00:19 |
| KenBW2 | LjL: btw - are you responsible for LjL-Temp? it's messing wth my tab-completion :P | 00:20 |
| f|uke | wouldn't the format be "a digital encoding method", and the file would be the encoding itself? | 00:20 |

| LjL | webas: you can't see the . folders in Nautilus, the "." means precisely that they're hidden folders. you can see them in the shell, and you also should be able to point Nautilus to them if you type the name in. | 00:32 |

| hotmonkeyluv | dr_Willis, the funny thing is that I have 3 nics that don't work in windows at all, can't find drivers for the life of me, but work fine in ubuntu by default | 00:32 |

| zr0gee | Hey all :p I've got Ubuntu (hardy) dual-booting with Vista atm. Is it possible to boot the 8.10 beta-installer and get it to upgrade my hardy, without messing up the dual-boot-config ? | 00:32 |

| LjL | KDesk: better ask in #kubuntu-kde4 | 00:33 |
| rsc- | I'm particularly interested in getting the ctrl-win-alt keys in order | 00:33 |
| Xyphy | LjL: its on a Lenovo X61... layout is USA | 00:33 |
| LjL | Xyphy: uhm, i don't remember where the tilde is in the US layout, but perhaps you have a 10x-keys layout set for the terminal with x being the wrong number | 00:33 |
| LjL | !locales | Xyphy, check | 00:33 |

| mophead | Hi everyone, have you ever heard of that thing where the toshiba laptop won't recognize the AC adapter? | 00:33 |
| Xyphy | Thanks all | 00:34 |
| bobertdos | n00b: then that is why the compiz effects malfunction. Direct rendering is required for that to work. You either need to do some Googling or you need to install the proprietary drivers for your card. | 00:34 |
| bobertdos | !binary | n00b | 00:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about binary | 00:34 |

| KDesk | has some one tried amarok2 beta 2 ? I know somebody has. | 00:41 |
| histo | !anyone | KDesk | 00:42 |
| ubottu | KDesk: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 00:42 |
| abe3k | agrajag : I have openttd and theres a new version online that I've downloaded so I want to overwrite my older files in the /usr/share/games folder | 00:42 |
| bobertdos | abe3k: If you want, you can run Nautilus with gksudo either in the terminal or in the run menu. | 00:42 |
| Xyphy | If I change my layout/keyboard model... will the changes take effect immediately? | 00:42 |
| KDesk | histo: I wat to know the expiriense with amarok 2 beta 2 | 00:42 |
| bobertdos | abe3k: but be careful and do not under any circumstances open Nautilus with plain sudo. | 00:43 |
| Agrajag | abe3k: did you download and build the source, or did you get a package file? | 00:43 |
| abe3k | arajag : I downloaded the binaries | 00:43 |
| histo | !offtopic | KDesk | 00:43 |
| ubottu | KDesk: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:43 |
| Agrajag | abe3k: so you have a .deb file, or what? | 00:43 |
| abe3k | bobertdos : why is that ? | 00:44 |
| Agrajag | Which package did you get? | 00:44 |
| abe3k | agrajag : no a zipped archive | 00:44 |
| bobertdos | !gksudo | abe3k | 00:44 |
| ubottu | abe3k: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:44 |
| Xyphy | If I change my layout/keyboard model... will the changes take effect immediately? Or do I have to restart the x client? | 00:44 |
| Agrajag | It's a pretty bad idea to go messing around with your /usr directory | 00:44 |
| bobertdos | Xyphy: Eh, it depends | 00:45 |
| Agrajag | abe3k: Can't you just run the program from your home directory, or remove openttd using the package manager and then istall what you have in /opt or /usr/local? | 00:45 |
| KDesk | histo: I also dont want the next ubunut nor offtopic | 00:45 |
| Xyphy | bobertdos: Well I'm changing the layout (trial and error) to see if anything will help fix my tilde issue. I want to know if I waste my time changing it and checking omitting any other steps. | 00:46 |
| sotec_prod | I don't know if this is off topic, but I have a need for this, so I'll ask here since it pertains to Ubuntu somewhat. Does anyone know of a GOOD tutorial for replacing XP with Vista without destroying my Ubuntu setup? Same disk, different partitions. Current Ubuntu. | 00:46 |
| tj111 | i had to do a partial-upgrade in intrepid to get today's updates and its been hanging on "Processing triggers for man-db" for about 30 minutes. Should I just let it keep going, is it ok to kill the process, or what? | 00:46 |
| abe3k | agrajag : I can run it from my home folder but then I'll be having two version on my ubuntu , one old version which is installed and one unzipped version which I have to navigate to get to | 00:46 |
| abe3k | arajag : I just want to overwrite my older files with ease | 00:47 |
| Agrajag | abe3k: so uninstall the one you have, and install the one you downloaded to /usr/local/games | 00:47 |
| dr_Willis | sotec_prod, you will need to restore the grub loader, after installing the other os's. Windows also wants to be on the 'first' partition of the drive in most cases. | 00:47 |
| abe3k | agrajag : ok how do I install ? | 00:47 |
| bobertdos | Xyphy: Well, I've never had to change my layout, so I'm not certain. Offhand, I don't think a reinitializing X would be necessary. | 00:47 |
| Agrajag | /usr/local is for stuff not installed by the package manager | 00:47 |
| Agrajag | I don't know, are there instuctions in the archive? | 00:47 |
| Xyphy | bobertdos: Thanks. | 00:47 |
| Agrajag | a file named INSTALL or something similar? | 00:48 |
| abe3k | agrajag : its a zipped game , I just unzip it and run it, theres no install option | 00:48 |
| sotec_prod | that's where windows is right now. | 00:48 |
| Agrajag | abe3k: there is a readme file | 00:48 |
| abe3k | agrajag: but the one in the repositories installs an older version | 00:49 |
| === mike is now known as Guest57524 | ||
| deathbyninja | hrmm | 00:49 |
| Agrajag | abe3k: so uninstall that one, extract this one to /usr/local/games/openttd, and make a symlink from the openttd binary there to /usr/bin/openttd | 00:49 |
| sotec_prod | grr. Alright, I think I'll give the Vista install a shot. I REALLY want to drool all over dx10 :D | 00:50 |
| jasuus | vista? | 00:51 |
| dr_Willis | sotec_prod, err.. so far from what ive seen DirectX 10 has been a total letdown | 00:51 |
| jasuus | what is vista | 00:51 |
| bird_flu | yo guys can anyone give us a hand solving an ndiswrapper problem? | 00:51 |
| sotec_prod | really? | 00:51 |
| buffalo | i think its sarcasm | 00:51 |
| bird_flu | and yes, dx10 is a letdown thusfar | 00:51 |
| sotec_prod | so the shading goodness and texture awesomeness is not...so...awesome or good? | 00:52 |
| Xyphy | bobertdos: Let me ask you one more question... When you have an open terminal at the command line usually you have username@computername: $ After the : and before the $, is there supposed to be a ~ there? or is it a -? | 00:52 |
| jasuus | its a tilde | 00:52 |
| jasuus | ~ | 00:52 |
| Xyphy | fuck | 00:52 |
| Xyphy | not for me | 00:52 |

| ubottu | PoisonArrow: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:53 |
| neeto | I have a DHCP server set up on my computer, and although it gives out an IP address to a computer that wants to connect, it does not forward the DNS information to the client computer. WTF? | 00:53 |
| case^ | PoisonArrow: yes coming to OT? | 00:53 |

| NiKeCRu666 | hello | 00:56 |

| Agrajag | Uncheck that and you can set it to whatever you want | 00:56 |
| morth_ | Hello Room | 00:56 |
| Agrajag | at least that's probably it | 00:56 |
| Xyphy | YES... thank you Agrajag | 00:56 |
| Xyphy | Problem fixed | 00:56 |
| Agrajag | but as far as I know monospace doesn't replace your ~ with - | 00:56 |
| Xyphy | dunno | 00:56 |
| Agrajag | so I doubt I've helped you much | 00:56 |
| Xyphy | Fixed now | 00:56 |

| n00b | what is the default root password? | 01:02 |
| dr_Willis | n00b, thjere is none | 01:02 |
| n00b | ok | 01:02 |
| Pici | !root | n00b | 01:02 |
| ubottu | n00b: 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 | 01:02 |
| n00b | so i can't log in as root at all? | 01:03 |
| n00b | i can't su root? | 01:03 |
| Pici | n00b: read the link, use sudo. | 01:03 |
| n00b | ok i figured it out | 01:03 |
| roukoun | anyone? | 01:04 |
| the_dude | my ubuntu games dont have any sound, and yesterday they had. im using them alone, and my sound is ok, but they dont play;..... | 01:04 |
| dr_Willis | n00b, the 2 are different things.. :) you can switch to root.. yes. | 01:04 |
| voraistos | Hi I want to compress some uncompressed videos *think extremely large files*, however I want a file compression system, like bz2, NOT video compression like mpg4 or similar... Is this worth it? | 01:04 |
| con-man | n00b: you could always type "su" in terminal if you dislike using sudo for every command | 01:04 |
| KenBW2 | con-man: whats the difference? | 01:05 |
| con-man | n00b: in Ubuntu its "sudo su" I think | 01:05 |
| Agrajag | sudo -s | 01:05 |
| con-man | it makes it a root terminal | 01:05 |
| dr_Willis | voraistos, is large = 1gb or 100gb? | 01:05 |
| n00b | Question: why would the ati drivers not be able to detect what version of Xfre86 i'm using | 01:05 |
| KenBW2 | con-man: i mean between su and sudo | 01:05 |
| voraistos | more like 100gb | 01:05 |
| dr_Willis | do NOT use 'sudo su' :) its redundant. | 01:05 |
| voraistos | use "su -" | 01:05 |
| roukoun | im trying to launch frostwire in my pc but it gives the following error: http://pastebin.com/f100b0e6d... can anyone help me? | 01:05 |
| dr_Willis | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 01:06 |
| con-man | KenBW2: typing "su" in a terminal makes that terminal a root terminal, thus you no longer have to prefix commands with "sudo" when typing in that terminal | 01:06 |
| dr_Willis | voraistos, su dosent work like that on ubuntu by default either | 01:06 |

| Kattollikisd | how can I install the wbar in 8.04? | 01:06 |
| dr_Willis | 'The command sudo -i is the equivalent to the 'su -' command. | 01:06 |
| dr_Willis | !info wbar | 01:07 |
| ubottu | Package wbar does not exist in hardy | 01:07 |
| punzada | roukoun, try going to into synpatic and reinstalling any of the java-6 packages you have | 01:07 |
| voraistos | dr_Willis: this gives a clean root login, a terminal in X wont be able to lauch graph apps with this, but you can't be more root than this :) | 01:07 |
| dr_Willis | Kattollikisd, go download/install the souce i guess. | 01:07 |
| bobertdos | !find wbar | 01:07 |
| punzada | and/or make sure you have all of the normal ones checked off | 01:07 |

| thechitowncubs | I'm having trouble resizing my Vista partition, any advice? | 01:07 |
| dr_Willis | voraistos, read that url.. it explains the issues with the different ways.. in short.. its best to use 'sudo -i' or sudo -s, for non gui apps. | 01:07 |
| dr_Willis | thechitowncubs, i let vista resize its own partitions.. it does it faster then ubuntu does. | 01:08 |

| dr_Willis | thechitowncubs, boot to vista.. check out the drive manager stuff.. it has a resize feature | 01:08 |
| voraistos | dr_Willis I agree sudo is the way to go... but on some machines the only user is root and I always su - to get a clean login. oh, well :P | 01:08 |

| Explo | IamSOG: grub is the bootloader, y ou can edit it, but you cant really update it | 01:11 |

| comicinker | Dr_Willis_: I have been playing around with partition sizes. now gparted my former home partition (sda4) to sda2. I must revert that name | 01:14 |
| n00b | does utorrent have a linux port? | 01:15 |
| comicinker | understood? | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis_ | n00b, it works with wine.. | 01:15 |
| bobertdos | truebosko Oh, you're looking for 2.6 See, Ubuntu does not roll out updates mid-life unless they are security/bug fixes. | 01:15 |
| truebosko | bobertdos: Ah thank you, thatm akes sense | 01:15 |
| n00b | Dr_Willis_ what do you recommend for ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis_ | comicinker, only way i can think to do that would be to add 2 parttions ahead of that partition. | 01:15 |
| n00b | azureus got way heavy in the past 2 years | 01:15 |
| Swidgen | n00b: i like rtorrent fwiw | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis_ | n00b, use whatever you like. :) | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis_ | wine utorrent.exe works for me, ktorrent works. others proberly work | 01:16 |
| roukoun | im trying to launch frostwire in my pc but it gives the following error: http://pastebin.com/f100b0e6d... can anyone help me? | 01:16 |
| voraistos | eeeek. My gf uses windows as well as ubuntu on her PC... the / is mounted on W automatically, and the drive is filled with weirdly named folders with dlls and setup.exes in them... any idea why microsoft tries to screw up a FS that is not even supported natively on their os ? | 01:16 |
| bobertdos | truebosko Of course, you can always compile if you wish. | 01:16 |
| comicinker | Dr_Willis_: in fdisk you can assert the number before creating a partition... | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis_ | roukoun, be sure you got the actual sun java installed. | 01:16 |
| truebosko | bobertdos: Yeah, my one issue with that is I have to remove python 2.5 package right? I'm just worried about future collission issues and such | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis_ | comicinker, but for existing partitions... im not sure thats a good thing to be playing with. | 01:17 |
| truebosko | I don't mind compiling from source, but with Ubuntu I fear doing that .. :-) | 01:17 |
| comicinker | ok | 01:17 |

| truebosko | bobertdos: hehe | 01:19 |
| voraistos | apt-cache search gstreamer | grep gstreamer | 01:19 |
| astrollama | swidgen, thanks for the suggestion, ill try it out | 01:19 |
| Swidgen | astrollama: do so with caution because i'm not 100% sure :) | 01:19 |
| voraistos | copy/paste the result after typing apt-get install | 01:19 |
| voraistos | :) | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis_ | roukoun, trying it now with my java.. lets see.. where did ya get frostwire from | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis_ | roukoun, using frostwire just downloaded from the frostwire homepage, and [java = 1.6.0_06] works here. | 01:20 |

| NiKeCRu666 | voraistos, was that about gstreamer for me? | 01:22 |

| voglster | Dr_Willis_, hey question for you about cups printing... im trying to print to a lanier printer... I try and print everything seems fine however nothing comes from the printer... where can i check for errors? | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | voglster, /var/log should be some cups logs. | 01:25 |
| Azlx | problem here, im trying to transfer some files from my ipod, opening it like a flashdrive, to a folder that is locked, how do i go about giving myself admin abilities? | 01:25 |
| voraistos | the idea is to look for the packages, select the names, copy, then paste after typing apt-get install [paste the stuff here] | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | voglster, you can set cups to have verbvose logging for even more info also i belive | 01:25 |
| NiKeCRu666 | uhmn | 01:26 |
| roukoun | Dr_Willis: any ideas? | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis_ | roukoun, not really. I never upgrade.. i always do clean istalls.. | 01:26 |
| DasEi3 | Azlx:sudo chown <urUsername> /path/to/ipodfolder/folder | 01:26 |

| amason_ | android6011: NTFS | 01:28 |
| voraistos | have you paid a look to the multimedia selector in gnome ? | 01:28 |
| android6011 | amason_: does it really affect ubuntu that much though? | 01:28 |
| NiKeCRu666 | multimedia selector??? | 01:28 |

| amason_ | android6011: NTFs is pretty crap :) | 01:28 |
| NiKeCRu666 | voraistos, no, i dont think so, how do i do that? | 01:29 |
| spiritssight | I don't know, the person that told me the specs does not know much about hte system, it looks they copyed from windows what the stuff was but not all the information | 01:29 |
| android6011 | amason_: what is the recommended filesystem? ext3? | 01:29 |
| voraistos | It should be in the system>preferences menu | 01:29 |
| spiritssight | if this makes any differents it says 4xTMDS | 01:29 |
| amason_ | android6011: well basically you will run EXT3 on top of NTFS if i am not mistaken | 01:29 |
| amason_ | so you have the overhead of 2 filesystems | 01:29 |

| taget | not really a ubuntu ? but anyone havea feed other than fox the the presidential debates tonight ? | 01:29 |

| android6011 | amason_: ya i typically use reiserfs too. im not really starting out i was just wondering what those wubi limiations were | 01:31 |
| amason_ | android6011: as long as you understand a wubi install will be slower, and you are subject to the limitations of windows and NTFS its fine | 01:31 |

| voraistos | ryans, don't use flash then. and get a proper wireless card (<unless you already have one :D ) | 01:32 |
| DasEi3 | spiritssight:liitle hard to determine: the radeon's below 9500 won't do the propitary drivers, but the standard out-of the box drivers do 'em all | 01:33 |
| ryans | That's the lamest help I've ever heard. | 01:33 |

| PoisonArrow | Ok, I have a script that I want to run on startup and in that script it contains the "sudo" command. Is that going to want my password when its run or will it be fine? Also, where do I put the script to run on startup thanks | 01:40 |

| genii | voglster: Exactly, yes | 01:41 |
| Pidgin | wats ubuntu written in/ | 01:41 |
| dr_Willis | PoisonArrow, it will also depend on what command you are trying to run, You may want to use gksu instead | 01:41 |

| CaptainMorgan | my screen scrambles when I close the lid of my laptop... almost like it wants to go to screensaver - I go to reopen it and I hit a button trying to clear the mess but nothing happens... I have to reboot every time... | 01:41 |
| DasEi3 | PoisonArrow: you would have to put a request for the pw and then give it into the script // you can use !bum or rc.local to start it at boot | 01:41 |
| voraistos | read the logs and file a bug report. or pastebin here see if there is a flash/firefox/acpi guru around. As i said before, flash is crap, and this extremely cpu-intensive onsense tends to crash firefox on big systems, so with less power it will only makes things worse (even though it shouldn't) | 01:41 |
| DasEi3 | !bum | 01:41 |
| voglster | Pidgin, mostly C | 01:41 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 01:41 |

| ubottu | PoisonArrow: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 01:42 |
| Skky | quick question - if I wanted to turn off eth0/eth1 permamently, is there a command I could use or do I have to modify the interfaces file? | 01:42 |
| CaptainMorgan | yet it appears to want to find a screensaver for some reason... | 01:42 |
| CaptainMorgan | or that scrambly mess | 01:42 |

| ryans | Well I don't think it's written to a log. | 01:43 |
| DasEi3 | Azlx: pidgin ? | 01:43 |
| dr_Willis | PoisonArrow, tell the channel exactly WHAT is is you are trying to run then.. rc.local may be the best place for it | 01:43 |
| voglster | Hoffer, whats your issue | 01:43 |
| Skky | DasEi3: and that will keep it turned off even through restarts until I turn it back on? | 01:43 |
| Azlx | yeah, pidgin | 01:43 |
| ryans | System freeze means it wont beable to do a thing. | 01:43 |
| ryans | I've tried everything to. | 01:44 |
| ryans | If there is a log, where would it be? | 01:44 |
| DasEi3 | Skky: no, no over restart | 01:44 |
| dr_Willis | logs are normally in /var/log | 01:44 |

| Hoffer | my issue is that I try and run Ubuntu using Wubi and when i select Ubuntu it starts to load and then takes me to this command line prompt kinda thing | 01:44 |
| voglster | ryans, have you tried different veriosns of flash? is it only with flash?... dont open youtube when on bettery? :-P | 01:44 |
| Skky | DasEi3: is there a command to keep it off over restart? | 01:44 |
| PoisonArrow | Well, Im trying to run a hacked version of my rtl8187b driver for my wireless card because it is not supported. So I put it into a script that loads the drivers, sets the essid and password, and starts the dhcp command to get an I.P. and in the process I need to use the sudo command | 01:44 |

| dr_Willis | Hoffer, says login: or somting like that? | 01:44 |
| Azlx | k thx again | 01:45 |
| voglster | Hoffer, whats the prompt | 01:45 |
| Hoffer | no it doesn't get that far | 01:45 |
| pdlnhrd | i tried to install the propritary ati drivers and now when i reboot i X can't start up and drops me to a login screen does anyone know the command to reset the drivers to the origial so i can get X to start... i have two radeon 4850 with two monitors.. | 01:45 |
| DasEi3 | Skky: you would either have to use a script or choose another way to disable it permantly | 01:45 |
| === Pidgin is now known as MRcheese | ||
| dr_Willis | ircbuddy, the res shouldnt matter muyc.. unless you are using some weird gdm theme. 1024xXXX should work fine. | 01:45 |
| voraistos | ryans: there should be some X logs, and definitely some kernel logs. If the system hangs, the kernel has something to do in it. It could very well be related to some proprietary wireless driver that messes up the system, and once flash kicks in, crashes it for good. | 01:45 |

| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, it is a peer-peer cable? or you using gigibit nic's ? | 01:48 |
| === tj83_ is now known as tj83 | ||
| ircbuddy | dr_Willis: ok il try one. one sec | 01:49 |
| fuzzypig | It's two NICs connected to each other by a cable. | 01:49 |
| fuzzypig | Will that work? | 01:49 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzypig:patch cable ? share internet ? see : | 01:49 |
| MRcheese | !d | 01:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about d | 01:49 |
| MRcheese | !C | 01:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about c | 01:49 |
| DasEi3 | !nfs | 01:49 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 01:49 |
| MRcheese | 1C++ | 01:49 |
| ryans | And it looks like acpi is still running, lovely. | 01:49 |
| voraistos | fuzzypig: is your cable twisted, if it is not (just like standard cables you use with your routers), then it won't work. | 01:49 |
| ircbuddy | dr_Willis: nope nothing., | 01:49 |
| MRcheese | !C++ | 01:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about c++ | 01:49 |
| FloodBot2 | MRcheese: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:49 |
| Pici | MRcheese: What are you trying to do? | 01:49 |
| tylrd | fuzzypig--> depends if your nic card has an autosense, if it does not, get a switch or a hub in between them | 01:49 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzypig: patch cable ? | 01:50 |
| MRcheese | Pici: programming languages D,C,C++ | 01:50 |
| DasEi3 | tylrd:even autosense needs a patch for direct link | 01:50 |
| Pici | MRcheese: Try their channels: #d , ##C and ##C++ | 01:50 |
| Hoffer1 | hi, i am trying to boot Ubuntu using Wubi on my XPS M1730 and i think my hard drive is the problem, i know Wubi is a problem for some of you, but i don't think thats the problem, i think Ubuntu won't run with my hard drive | 01:51 |
| tylrd | DasEi3--> they will work if the nic autosense the tx and rx and will adjust accordingly | 01:51 |
| fuzzypig | I don't know what a patch cable is. | 01:51 |
| genii | Interesting that C is a ## channel and not official | 01:51 |
| fuzzypig | It's a cat5 cable. | 01:51 |
| fuzzypig | A standard ethernet cable. | 01:51 |
| tylrd | Hoffer1--> you run windows then click on wubi.exe to install | 01:51 |
| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, you can just connect a normal cable that way. | 01:51 |
| Hoffer1 | i did that | 01:51 |
| fuzzypig | I think it's twisted though. | 01:52 |
| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, you must use a hub/router/switch, or a crossover/patch cable.. OR use gigibit network cards | 01:52 |
| Hoffer1 | tylrd:the problem is when i try and boot Ubuntu | 01:52 |
| fuzzypig | I have a switch. | 01:52 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzypig: if you hold the two plugs next to each other, are colors of wires same on botch=no patch cable , different=patch | 01:52 |
| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, plug both pc's into the switch then.. set both up with static ips, see if they can ping each other.. if so.. they are networked. | 01:52 |
| tylrd | Hoffer1--> what happens when you boot ubuntu? | 01:52 |
| voraistos | dr_Willis I knew it :P twisted just didnt seem right, crossover... right :D /me tries to remember | 01:53 |
| DasEi3 | tylrd:that would only work on gigabit-cards | 01:53 |
| dr_Willis | voraistos, 'twisted pair' means the wires in the cable twist around. for better shielding.. I think | 01:53 |
| Hoffer1 | tylrd: it starts to work but then it takes me to this sort of command prompt | 01:53 |
| tylrd | DasEi3--> incorrect, there are 10/100Mbps nic cards that can do autosense | 01:53 |
| ircbuddy | Anyone ever had a problem with bad screen resolution at login | 01:53 |
| Hoffer1 | tylrd: i can't remember what it was called | 01:53 |
| Hoffer1 | tylrd: some safe bug something or other | 01:53 |
| tylrd | Hoffer1--> at boot did you get to select which os to boot from? | 01:54 |
| fuzzypig | problem with that: the second 'computer' is a print server which is being problematic. It's the size of my fist, and the only way to configure a static IP is to connect to it first. | 01:54 |
| Hoffer1 | tylrd: yes i chose to boot Ubuntu | 01:55 |
| voraistos | dr_Willis: yes I actually know that, but in crossover cables, you need to invert some of them, leading to twisted wrists :D | 01:55 |
| Oko2 | Is this a techincal support for Ubuntu | 01:55 |
| Hoffer1 | oko2: yes | 01:55 |
| Pici | Oko2: Yes. | 01:55 |
| Elda | ys | 01:55 |
| Elda | *Yes | 01:55 |
| Hoffer1 | lol | 01:55 |
| Oko2 | Good | 01:55 |
| voraistos | this is geek support, even better than technical support :) | 01:55 |
| Elda | Indee | 01:55 |
| tylrd | Hoffer1--> if it didnt work, try to boot to your xp again and do a re-double click the wubi.exe | 01:55 |
| Elda | d | 01:55 |
| Oko2 | I do not nedone | 01:55 |
| Oko2 | The trafic is incredible? | 01:56 |
| luisp797_ | i started the vnc4server but I can't remote in any ideas? | 01:56 |
| Hoffer1 | tylrd: i have vista....*cry**shame* | 01:56 |
| Elda | I dualboot vista too, don't worry :P | 01:56 |
| hvgotcodes | How can i decrease how fast my load cycle count increases without using hddparm? | 01:56 |
| DasEi3 | tylrd:autosense means figuring half/full duplex , 10/100 mps, never saw a card that can | 01:56 |
| Elda | But Im slowly moving to sole Kubuntu dependancy :D | 01:56 |
| Oko2 | I have lost:j #ubunutu | 01:56 |
| dr_Willis | voraistos, ;) | 01:56 |
| tylrd | Hoffer1--> that should work too, i dont have vista so i have not tested that | 01:56 |
| Pici | Oko2: This is #ubuntu, do you have a support question? | 01:56 |
| dr_Willis | luisp797_, you must edit the .vnc/xstartup to run a window manager thats installed on the system.. check the logs in .vnc also.. | 01:57 |
| Hoffer1 | tylrd: so you want me to try and reinstall wubi? | 01:57 |
| fuzzypig | Do I have to configure a static IP to connect to the switch? | 01:57 |
| fuzzypig | It's a DYNEX 10BASE-T Ethernet Hub | 01:57 |
| ryans | Hmmm, wonder if 8.10 would work better. | 01:57 |
| Hoffer1 | tylrd: but it was already a legit fresh install of wubi | 01:57 |
| dr_Willis | luisp797_, be sure to quit/rerun the vncserver, after editing that file.. you can accidnetly start 2+ vncservers by mistake.. also use the ip# to connect.. often the hostname wont work.. ie; vncviewer 127.0.0.1:1 | 01:57 |
| tylrd | Hoffer1--> why not, its not that overly difficult | 01:57 |
| fuzzypig | Oops, disconnected | 01:58 |
| tylrd | Hoffer1--> perhaps it did not install correclty the first time | 01:58 |
| dr_Willis | 10BASE-T? isent that the old coax type? | 01:58 |
| ryans | Oh did you need more info on what version of linux, etc, etc? | 01:58 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzypig:a hub is not a switch | 01:58 |
| Fallenou | hi i have problems with a webcam under ubuntu, i use "Hercules dualpix hd" usb webcam, which is recognized when i plug it in, i have latest 2.6.27 kernel with EasyCam2 tools and ov534 driver, when i launch gstreamer-properties and i click on "Video" and i test my /dev/video0 with v4l2 it show "snow" | 01:58 |
| genii | dr_Willis: 10base2 | 01:58 |
| luisp797_ | where do I find those files? | 01:58 |
| dr_Willis | genii, :) ok.. old-skool | 01:58 |
| Fallenou | but the little light on the webcam brights | 01:58 |
| fuzzypig | Ok, that's unfortunate. Does that mean I can't connect to it? | 01:58 |
| Fallenou | so it communicates with the cam | 01:58 |
| Pici | Fallenou: If you're using Intrepid, the proper channel is #ubuntu+1 for support/discussion. | 01:59 |
| Fallenou | ok thx | 01:59 |
| hvgotcodes | How can i decrease how fast my load cycle count increases without using hddparm? | 01:59 |
| Skky | question - i commented out my "auto eth1" entry in interfaces file, restarted, but eth1 is still starting | 01:59 |
| Fallenou | it doesn't work better on hardy i would say Pici :p | 01:59 |
| fuzzypig | I have a hub to work with. How can I connect them? | 02:00 |
| voraistos | dr_Willis lol 10base-T are the twisted pair cables :D | 02:01 |
| tylrd | DasEi3--> i mistakenly called the mdi/mdix feature autosense..but you get the idea.. | 02:01 |
| dr_Willis | voraistos, ive got box's of that old stuff... ive yet to toss out.. :) | 02:01 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzypig:you need two standard rj45 cables (non-patch) and then can connect | 02:01 |
| dr_Willis | pc -- network cable --> hub <----- cable --- pc. | 02:01 |
| `Matir | Anyone know how I could disable apport for a single session to debug a program? Otherwise, my core files disappear :) | 02:02 |
| voraistos | hey, I own an 8086 dr_Willis | 02:02 |
| dr_Willis | voraistos, i got a timex sinclare 1000 :) | 02:02 |
| DasEi3 | tylrd:never saw this unless in gigabit | 02:02 |
| droopsta915 | my computer is having sleep problems, what can i do to set fix sleep problems | 02:02 |
| genii | dr_Willis: I used to have one of those 99-4a | 02:02 |
| fuzzypig | Both are connected to the hub via a cat5 cable. | 02:02 |
| tylrd | DasEi3--> i have used them in 10/100mbps | 02:02 |
| luisp797_ | I fixed my virtual box problem by reloading the application | 02:02 |
| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, set both up with static ips, see if they can ping each other.. if so.. they are networked. | 02:03 |
| voraistos | dr_willis I have a timex wrist movement-powered watch :D | 02:03 |
| DasEi3 | tylrd:so I believe it now but recommend patch for direct links :P | 02:03 |
| hendrixski | what's the difference between Ram and Virtual Ram? | 02:03 |
| fuzzypig | I don't know the ip of the hub. | 02:03 |
| dr_Willis | voraistos, an actual wrist watch! :) old-skool | 02:03 |
| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, hubs dont have ip's | 02:03 |
| dr_Willis | 'routers' can have ip's | 02:04 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzzypig: the hub has no own ip | 02:04 |
| fuzzypig | Then what is the gateway address? | 02:04 |
| fuzzypig | Don't I need that? | 02:04 |
| luisp797_ | that's the router | 02:04 |
| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, depends.. on what you are doing.. if its JUSt 2 machines.. theres not much of a gateway/network... | 02:04 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzzypig: first, give the two network card attached to the hub ip's in the same range | 02:04 |
| fuzzypig | There is no router connected. | 02:04 |
| genii | if twp machines connected to each other, their own ip is the gateway | 02:05 |
| voraistos | dr_Willis it uses no electricity whatsoever, and i dont actually have to turn things around every morning for it to work :P I wished computers were based on that kind of technology, It's just so beautiful inside | 02:05 |
| fuzzypig | oh | 02:05 |
| dr_Willis | example ips... 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 | 02:05 |
| fuzzypig | But neither of the machines are connected, so neither of them have IPs | 02:05 |
| fuzzypig | There is no router. | 02:05 |
| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, set both up with static ips, <--------------------------------- see if they can ping each other.. if so.. they are networked. | 02:05 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzzypig: for example : 192.168.001.101 the one and 192.168.001.102 the second, mask : 255.255.255.0 | 02:06 |
| === kolie3 is now known as kolie | ||
| voraistos | You assign them IPs, router, connection and whatelse or not | 02:06 |
| paul_81 | can someone help we with a problem in natilus? | 02:06 |
| dystopia | dr_Willis: maybe he has a firewall running blocking ports... | 02:06 |
| fuzzypig | No firewall. | 02:06 |
| fuzzypig | I just had no idea how a hub works. | 02:06 |
| dr_Willis | dystopia, at this rate.. we will never know.,.. :) | 02:06 |
| dr_Willis | hub just switches around some wires.. so things are wired proplery | 02:06 |
| fuzzypig | We;ve hit a dead end though. | 02:07 |
| fuzzypig | The second machine is only capable of DHCP. | 02:07 |
| voraistos | hubs copy the data from one port to paste it on all the other ports. hubs plain suck, but they also are cheap. | 02:07 |
| fuzzypig | I have to connect to it to enable static IPs | 02:07 |
| fuzzypig | Because it's a usb print server. | 02:07 |
| dr_Willis | My USB print server ive had - i could set up staic | 02:07 |
| dr_Willis | fuzzypig, install a dhcp server on the other box then is another thing ya could do | 02:08 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzypig:so make the other pc a dhcp-server | 02:08 |
| paul_81_ | Can someone assist me with a Nautilus question (running ubuntu 8.04 64 bit)?? | 02:08 |
| genii | fuzzypig: When no dhcp server is found, ip range usually defaults to 169.254.x.x range | 02:08 |
| dystopia | hehe | 02:08 |
| MRcheese | can we get sued by Microsoft for using c#? | 02:08 |
| voraistos | probably :D | 02:09 |
| dystopia | you can get sued for anything... | 02:09 |
| dr_Willis | You can get sued for doing somtning,, and not doing it,, and not doing it fast enough. :) | 02:09 |
| MRcheese | even for just typing this/ | 02:09 |
| dystopia | MRcheese: YES!! BOO!! | 02:09 |
| voraistos | In fact, You used "Microsoft" without their expressed written consent, so you should leave the country while you still can :D | 02:09 |
| hendrixski | there's nothing to stop Microsoft for suing people using Mono... unless you believe their marketing department which said they promise they won't | 02:09 |
| fuzzypig | I'm installing ISC DHCP3 | 02:09 |
| paul_81_ | Can someone assist me with a Nautilus question (running ubuntu 8.04 64 bit)?? | 02:10 |
| * dr_Willis sues dystopia for pain and suffering. | 02:10 | |
| fuzzypig | Hopefully it works out of the box. | 02:10 |
| MRcheese | trademark infringment just like saying ubuntu is a tm infringement | 02:10 |
| hvgotcodes | How can i decrease how fast my load cycle count increases without using hddparm? anyway to slow down ext journaling or other options? | 02:10 |
| paul_81_ | Is this a help channel if not can someone direct me to one? | 02:10 |
| MRcheese | hvgotcodes: Use JFS ext3 sucks | 02:10 |
| voraistos | mount it as ext2 :D | 02:10 |
| ailean | guys i need some urgent help in recovering a file. can anyone help? | 02:11 |
| MRcheese | ext3 writes to the journal every 5 secs | 02:11 |
| fuzzypig | ok, server is installed. | 02:11 |
| genii | fuzzypig:If dhcp server doesn't work out..you you can let both boxes timeout. Then use a netmask of 255.255.0.0 and something like nmap to find out what ip the hard-wired dhcp box got | 02:11 |
| hvgotcodes | MRcheese: yeah can we reconfigure that? | 02:11 |
| dystopia | paul_81_: this is a help channel | 02:11 |
| voraistos | you should be able to adjust this in the mount options | 02:11 |
| hvgotcodes | maybe every minute or 2 ? | 02:11 |
| MRcheese | there is a way but i forgot | 02:11 |
| fuzzypig | hm | 02:11 |
| voraistos | man page | 02:11 |
| paul_81_ | dystopia could you assist me with a problem in Nautilus? | 02:12 |
| CaptJager | How can I dictate a size of a video convert when using ffmpeg -i input.avi output.flv in terminal | 02:12 |
| dystopia | paul_81_: ask your question and we'll do our best to help you :-) | 02:12 |

| exonine | Hi, does anyone have any experience with the Asus eee and ubuntu? | 02:12 |
| RHSanborn | I have a phone as a modem plan with sprint, and a bluetooth enabled phone. Could anyone point me to a decent thread or tutorial for setting up basic bluetooth modem configs? | 02:12 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzypig: the difference between a switch and a hub is mainly that the hub can't autom. detrmine right pin-setting of cables and is more vulnerable to data-collision, a simple switch avoids those probs and is below 10 EUR | 02:12 |
| Elda | bah :< wrong chat sorry | 02:12 |
| genii | exonine: Perhaps the users in channel #eeepc | 02:13 |
| paul_81_ | I have lost the ability to SHIFT+CLICK in nautilus, to select multiple files, is there a way to fix this (xorg.conf possibly)?? | 02:13 |
| dystopia | ailean: there are several programs and even live cds for that but best is to stop r/w to the filesystem | 02:13 |
| exonine | genii: thanks =) | 02:13 |
| voraistos | Elda, ever tried the CLI client for pizzahutt online orders ? | 02:13 |
| dr_Willis | paul_81_, i dont see how that would be a xorg setting. try with a new user.. see if it works for them.. | 02:13 |
| ailean | dystopia, which program would you recommend? | 02:13 |
| Mike020 | what's the directory to put Piding plugins in? | 02:13 |
| paul_81_ | ...will do BRB | 02:13 |
| Mike020 | Pidgin* | 02:13 |
| ircbuddy | Why does my login screen not fit the screen? it it my resolution? Its like its zoomed in and panned over to the top left. all i see is a input field. | 02:14 |
| voraistos | /usr/share/something | 02:14 |
| RonzO | ircbuddy, sounds like you may have to check yoru xorg.conf file. sounds like its defaulting to a higher resolution than it thinks your monitor is | 02:14 |
| voraistos | or there could be a plugin dir in your home. | 02:14 |
| jigp | hello:) I can connect to wifi but not lan...after I setup a static in lan, I can't connect...and when I dhcp - I can't connect also.how to restore my default lan dhcp? | 02:14 |
| DasEi3 | fuzzypig:also the counters of 10/100 mbit are maximum numbers, practically its about a third they do (some nics do better then other) | 02:14 |
| nickz327 | flash videos seem unstable for me and can make firefox crash. I assume this is conflictions with pulse audio. Is this normal? any fixes? | 02:15 |
| paul_81_ | Dr_willis: it still works with a different user...what's my next step to remedy this?? | 02:15 |
| chooch | hey guys | 02:15 |
| DasEi3 | !hi | 02:15 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:15 |
| jjulian | hi got a problem fsck fails cause of filesystem size is 8 blocks bigger then physical size. how can i repair that? | 02:15 |
| chooch | I got a strange problem | 02:15 |
| Skky | how do I turn off eth1 permemently? | 02:15 |
| fuzzypig_ | the print server won't time out. | 02:16 |
| chooch | got ubuntu 8.04 and when I switched to xfce, I can't play streaming radio on firefox | 02:16 |
| RonzO | Skky, sudo ifconfig eth1 down | 02:16 |
| dystopia | ailean: depends on filesystem, personally, i'd mount my filesystem r/o, burn a recovery cd in different computer, and then use a GUI program or whatever is provided with that recovery cd | 02:16 |
| RonzO | Skky, that should keep it from starting. if not, add it as a startup script | 02:16 |
| danbh_intrepid | chooch: how did you switch? | 02:16 |
| voraistos | DasEi3 cheap realtek cards can do these speeds, however sending 12 mbps is rather cpu and hdd intensive, so some older machines will fail at the task. | 02:16 |
| paul_81_ | Dr_willis / dystopia: it still works with a different user...what's my next step to remedy this?? | 02:16 |
| ircbuddy | RonzO: ok im in the file waht do i look for | 02:16 |
| chooch | installed the package and choose xfce session when I login | 02:16 |
| fuzzypig_ | The server needs to be configured before it can use static IP. | 02:16 |
| jigp | hello:) I can connect to wifi but not lan...after I setup a static in lan, I can't connect...and when I dhcp - I can't connect also.how to restore my default lan dhcp? | 02:16 |
| ailean | dystopia, ok so what recovery cd? | 02:17 |
| chooch | "Listen" play music fine | 02:17 |
| voraistos | DasEi3 i mean megaBytes per sec. | 02:17 |
| jjulian | hi got a problem fsck fails cause of filesystem size is 8 blocks bigger then physical size. how can i repair that? | 02:17 |
| RonzO | ircbuddy, look down toward the end of it. i would suggest to google modelines for your monitor, so it can have the correct resolution for it | 02:17 |
| Skky | RonzO: that turns it off until the next restart, when it comes back on | 02:17 |
| RonzO | ircbuddy, what is the native resolution for your monitor? | 02:17 |
| voraistos | rythmbox is also much better than it used to be. | 02:17 |
| RonzO | Skky, hold on a sec, let me get you a site | 02:17 |
| MRcheese | does ubuntus kernel have FULL ACCESS TO ALL HARDWARE I/OS AND MEMORY? | 02:17 |
| ircbuddy | RonzO: im not sure. its a widescreen by gateway | 02:18 |
| DasEi3 | voraistos:I found that realtek and other cheapies are up to 40% slower then intel,hp,dlink and few othrers | 02:18 |
| RonzO | ircbuddy, go to system > prefferences > screen resolution. what is it running? | 02:18 |
| danbh_intrepid | MRcheese: why wouldnt it? | 02:18 |
| dystopia | ailean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_Is_Possible but if you download a big file on the same filesystem the chance is that you already overwrite the data... the first thing to do is think like forenics: don't touch the filesystem or hdd anymore.. | 02:18 |
| ircbuddy | RonzO: ive had to chage that. with sudo displayconfig-gtk | 02:19 |
| RonzO | Skky, http://www.neohide.com/automatic-start-up-hamachi-for-ubuntu-hardy-heron . when it says to make the script part, put "sudo ifconfig eth1 down" and follow the rest of the guide from there. its not the same...but it gives you the same idea | 02:19 |
| MRcheese | KERNEL MODE I MEANT | 02:19 |
| DasEi3 | voraistos:think of a 10 mib hub switching cheap nics to that mode, the result ...uuhm | 02:19 |
| danbh_intrepid | !caps > MRcheese | 02:19 |
| ubottu | MRcheese, please see my private message | 02:19 |
| ailean | dystopia, i get that | 02:19 |
| chooch | danbh_intrepid: what do you suggest? | 02:19 |
| voraistos | DasEi3 i get more packet loss with them, but nothing alarming, and they do full speed as far as I know. | 02:19 |
| Skky | RonzO: thanks, i'll read through that | 02:19 |
| ircbuddy | RonzO: i get everything from 320X240 to 1600X XXXX | 02:19 |
| RonzO | Skky, yup yup | 02:19 |
| danbh_intrepid | chooch: I dunno, does it work in the other *buntu you were running? | 02:19 |
| ailean | dystopia, you've said it a few times now. which recovery tool would you use? | 02:19 |

| nickz327 | so having a crash like one out of 10 times is normal? no fixes? | 02:22 |

| ircbuddy | RonzO: K Thanks | 02:22 |
| danbh_intrepid | chooch: I'm asking, assuming you still have gnome installed. If Im wrong, let me know | 02:22 |
| chooch | danbh_intrepid: yes, last time I checked. the xubuntu is on my laptop and I gave it to a friend of mine | 02:22 |
| voraistos | nickz327, no no fixes. You could triy the latest builds of firefox though, since a plugin should theoretically NOT crash firefox. | 02:23 |
| RonzO | ircbuddy, are you sure thats your monitor? im not finding any info on the internet about it | 02:23 |
| danbh_intrepid | majik: I think thats just how apache works. Each process can handle another connection | 02:23 |
| chooch | danbh_intrepid: I'll be able to the double check if we'll solve something else. VNC server is installed through synaptic but when starting the server, it just dissapeared | 02:24 |
| ircbuddy | RonzO: Got it at walmart. il get that page for you | 02:24 |
| chooch | and I could not connect the computer | 02:24 |
| RonzO | ircbuddy, that would help tons, lol =) | 02:24 |

| kenshin_ | Hey guys, I wanted to try Linux...and after attempting to install gentoo I thought I might go with something a bit easier. The only thing is, I have a Mac (OS X 10.4.11), so I want to put it on a 750gb external HD. I know that Mac uses an EFI bootloader- does Ubuntu support this? | 02:32 |
| Viking667 | DasEi3: actually, no. I'm wondering if I missed an OOo package somehow. | 02:32 |
| DasEi3 | RonzO: yes | 02:32 |
| lolmac | hello | 02:32 |
| kenshin_ | Any good guides on getting started? I don't want to mess up my computer or the external hd | 02:32 |
| RonzO | i have his resolution, lol | 02:32 |
| lolmac | this new version of ubuntu | 02:32 |
| lolmac | 8.04 | 02:32 |
| lolmac | in this new version | 02:32 |
| lolmac | can i run it on windows? | 02:32 |
| DasEi3 | Viking667: open aterminal.. | 02:32 |
| FloodBot2 | lolmac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:32 |
| Viking667 | Actually, is there a way to find what deb those files would be in? | 02:33 |
| chooch | danbh_intrepid: How do I remove it? and if gnome use gdm, what xfce use? | 02:33 |
| Viking667 | must be a apt-* command of some sort, surely | 02:33 |
| tpw_rules | kenshin_: why dont you try using boot camp? | 02:33 |
| DasEi3 | Viking667:sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice-org | 02:33 |
| RonzO | lolmac, you can use wubi to install it. it doesn't run inside of windows persay | 02:33 |
| danbh_intrepid | Viking667: does the file exist? | 02:33 |
| puff | Specifically, I'm trying to use rsync to copy data off a dying drive. However, I'm trying to exclude a particular subdirectory that causes the drive to make odd clicking noises, using rsync --exclude=/media/disk-2/sub/directory/that/causes/problems | 02:33 |

| Dr_willis_ | !compile | 02:34 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 02:34 |
| voraistos | vim and gcc | 02:34 |
| kenshin_ | Okay, so then it follows- how do I go about installing it on the external? Should I just put in the LiveCD and go from there? | 02:34 |
| RonzO | lolmac, windows and linux are different operating systems, and they don't interface the same way | 02:34 |
| Explo | lolmac: you can install using windows, but you cannot run both at the same time unless you use a virtual program like virtualbox | 02:35 |
| tpw_rules | puff: you might be able to use ddrescue | 02:35 |
| kenshin_ | If my external HD is password protected would this make much of a difference? | 02:35 |

| tpw_rules | dont really know my way around it tho | 02:35 |
| RonzO | kenshin_, yup | 02:35 |

| Viking667 | brb | 02:35 |
| kenshin_ | Ah, okay then I'll remove the password from it. | 02:35 |
| puff | tpw_rules: Hrrm, maybe, but rsync appears to be working okay otherwise. | 02:35 |
| tpw_rules | morth_: if you are looking for an ide, i reccommend kdevelop | 02:35 |
| kenshin_ | Okay, thanks for the help- I'm off to try and do this correctly. | 02:35 |
| lolmac | Explo: the original cd alone of ubuntu, it doesn't have the option to run like a virtual machine? without the need of a other software to virtualize it? | 02:36 |
| DasEi3 | Viking667:not a particulary sure, but open office started on mine right of the box, so I guess so | 02:36 |
| voraistos | kenshin_ what do you mean by password protected ? you have some sort of hardware interface on it, or simple software encryption ? | 02:36 |
| tpw_rules | puff: yes, but i believe you would get a more complete backup | 02:36 |
| chooch | danbh_intrepid: it looks like this command remove all the standard programs... isn't it? what will happen then? | 02:36 |
| Explo | lolmac: no, there is an installer called wubi that allows you to install it using windows if you can't boot from the cd, but you have to install virtualbox and run it in there if you want to run both at the same time | 02:36 |
| puff | tpw_rules: I'd like to try that, if I can first finish the rsync backup... | 02:36 |
| paul_81_ | dystopia: FYI it was a compiz setting I wasn't aware of under Grouping / Tabs, a command was bound to SHIFT+BUTTON1, I changed that and now it works again | 02:36 |
| danbh_intrepid | chooch: you will have xubuntu | 02:37 |
| voraistos | I am not sure you will be able to keep software encrypted on that disk with ubuntu. however since you seem to want to format it and you have cpu power, you could use the very hardcore encryption available for linux :D | 02:37 |
| chooch | danbh_intrepid: or maybe the xubuntu desktop will install everything back | 02:37 |

| Chris_Foster | Hi, I have a password saved in firefox, and Im trying to find out what that password is (I cant remember it), any idea how to get it? It apears when I go to the webpage, but It shows as black circles and copy and pasting it comes up with black circles.... Any help please? | 03:04 |
| piju_ | hello anybody know what type of wireless chipset dell inspiron 1420 is using ? | 03:05 |
| Viking667 | DasEi3: except in _this_ case. The error wasn't with OpenOffice itself - i.e. those files have never existed in OpenOffice 2.x. | 03:05 |
| Viking667 | It was with files that USED to be in OpenOffice.org 1.x | 03:05 |
| daaaman64 | anyone know why spell check in openoffice might not be working? the lines don't show up at all :/ | 03:05 |
| Viking667 | anyhow, that's all sorted, now I can depart happen. | 03:05 |
| DasEi3 | fine so | 03:05 |
| Viking667 | daaaman64: heh. Can't help there. You turned ON spellchecking in your Options and installed dictionary.? | 03:06 |
| Chowder | piju_: GOOGLE | 03:06 |
| Viking667 | DasEi3: yup. | 03:06 |
| DasEi3 | nice :) | 03:06 |
| daaaman64 | Viking667, maybe not the dictionary. anyone know what the package is called? | 03:06 |
| Chris_Foster | daaaman64: It could be because its turned off, and its most likely not a ubuntu fault if its not working. Try an openoffice forum or something simular | 03:06 |

| Viking667 | daaaman64: openoffice.org-dictionary-en-US, I don't know the exact name. | 03:07 |
| Rezagrats | Chris_Foster, do as much as you can to remember the pass. if you can't find out if you can reset the pass somehow. a suggestion is to use Epiphany web browser. you can check your passwords and to what site they're for. (this may cause a physical security issue if someone got on to Epiphany.(no credit card data is saved in this form)) | 03:07 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | genii: I think I do ... can this be fixed? | 03:07 |

| ubottu | techsupport: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 03:14 |

| the_dude | my games dont have any sound, plz help! | 03:15 |
| Pici | zimbres: you mean the man pages? | 03:15 |
| Viking667 | daaaman64: you gone through "File=>Wizards=>Install new dictionaries" yet? Might be a place to look. | 03:15 |

| genii | techsupport: You obviously didn't follow my earlier instruction on reading the manpage of the command hostname. It explains fairly clearly how to change the name | 03:16 |
| Pici | zimbres: if so, its manpages-dev you want. | 03:16 |
| techsupport | Pici, right, i did all that still see orudie@ubuntu:~$ | 03:16 |
| Viking667 | daaaman64: then check under Tools=>Options, "Language Settings=>Writing Aids" | 03:16 |
| the_dude | my games dont have any sound... | 03:16 |
| zimbres | Pici, I have no entry for c functions for example "man 3 fgets". | 03:16 |
| zimbres | Pici, OK, i will try | 03:16 |
| danbh_intrepid | Darklust: do you have lots of bandwidth? You could just keep upgrading with update-manager | 03:17 |
| Darklust | Dan: I try that, but it tells me the respositories dont exist. | 03:17 |

| genii | iheartmarek_: Yes. It's called mail | 03:22 |
| danbh_intrepid | Darklust: Im talking about a manual, unsupported upgrade with apt-get | 03:22 |
| Pici | Darklust: You're going to end up downloading more by going through from one release to the next to get to Hardy. | 03:22 |
| iheartmarek_ | genii: where do i get that? | 03:22 |
| Darklust | Dan: Well yes | 03:22 |
| genii | iheartmarek_: mailutils package. Then you can use on commandline just the command "mail" | 03:22 |
| Yud_Zroc | wats the rules for selling ubuntu with a custom builtr computer | 03:23 |
| danbh_intrepid | Darklust: Pici is correct, the method I help you with will use tons of extra bandwidth, since you will have several other release upgrades to go through | 03:23 |
| iheartmarek_ | does it provide a "gui" through terminal? | 03:23 |

| Kira[work] | Hi guys, | 03:23 |
| danbh_intrepid | Darklust: well, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and change every edgy to feisty | 03:24 |
| Kira[work] | The instructions for PureFTPd and pureadmin at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP seem to be a bit outdated as far as Hardy is concerned. | 03:24 |
| Darklust | Dan: That will work? | 03:24 |
| Kira[work] | Does Hardy's inetd still use inetd.conf? | 03:24 |
| danbh_intrepid | Darklust: there is a sed command that can do it for you, something like sed -i "s/edgy/feisty/g" /etc/apt/sources.list BUT DONT DO THAT. Just do it manually. Im not sure of the command | 03:25 |
| danbh_intrepid | Darklust: nope, its going to be a rough ride, but it will be ok | 03:25 |
| danbh_intrepid | Darklust: lets go to a different chatroom... | 03:25 |

Where should I be calling 'ssh start' so that it runs as soon as the system starts up? | 05:10 |

| standarshy | and I get an error I try to install updates or try ti enable restricted drivers | 05:11 |
| Odd-rationale | l337ingDisorder: well, /etc/init.d/sshd start needs to run with sudo... so adding it to ~/.bashrc may not work... | 05:11 |

| here | (totem) | 05:12 |
| l337ingDisorder | odd-rationale: Yea and .bashrc only executes once a user logs in..... I need to have it execute even if there's no one logged in at all | 05:12 |
| frybye | standarshy: and you can post the error to the pastbin?? | 05:12 |
| macv1 | can anyone suggest a software for ripping audio from a video file??? | 05:13 |
| l337ingDisorder | hmm seems like it should be possible to just start the server that's already installed, no? | 05:13 |
| frybye | the error- message i mean..? | 05:13 |
| only_ | ??? | 05:13 |
| standarshy | I get "e:dpkg was interrupted" "e:_cache-> open() failed, please report" | 05:13 |

| scunizi | SchmittyDoesIt, one of my favorite winter vaca spots.. | 05:14 |
| Odd-rationale | l337ingDisorder: what package did you install? you should have installed "openssh-server" | 05:14 |
| l337ingDisorder | Odd-rationale: sudo apt-get install ssh | 05:14 |
| SchmittyDoesIt | scunizi: you come here a lot? | 05:14 |
| only_ | no | 05:15 |
| only_ | i'm a fresher | 05:15 |
| Odd-rationale | l337ingDisorder: ok. that is a metapackage that pulls in openssh-server anyways... | 05:15 |
| scunizi | SchmittyDoesIt, not really.. work keeps me away.. rented a houseboat once.. and been out a couple other times in the last 5 years.. | 05:15 |
| l337ingDisorder | odd-rationale: is there any extra config to openssh-server? cause with ssh all I had to do was install the package and now if I launch /etc/init.d/ssh start it activates the server | 05:15 |

| Bruce_Wayne | hey i just installed ubuntu today .. how do i update my repositories and stuff | 05:16 |
| Odd-rationale | l337ingDisorder: it should already... does it not? | 05:16 |
| scunizi | w_nicram, rsync maybe.. not sure.. | 05:16 |
| l337ingDisorder | Bruce_wayne: system -> administration -> synaptic package manager | 05:17 |
| w_nicram | scunizi, will try... thanks | 05:17 |
| l337ingDisorder | Bruce_wayne: for repositories, system -> administration -> software sources | 05:17 |
| Chris_Foster | Bruce_Wayne: you can open a command prompt and use "sudo apt-get update" or if you perfer GUI, open the package manager and click update, or click the adept notifier in your system tray (if its there) | 05:17 |
| l337ingDisorder | odd-rationale: well I don't think so.. when I just boot to login prompt, it refuses connections.. once i log in, still refuses connections.. once I run /etc/init.d/ssh start i can then connect | 05:18 |
| l337ingDisorder | though hold on a sec... i've been booting to runlevel 1 | 05:18 |
| l337ingDisorder | i'll try normal boot | 05:18 |

| frybye | Geoffrey2: just post the question itself - include details - what wireless card/chip - what fault report etc... | 05:26 |

| joshuajtl | pdlnhrd: ubuntu | 05:31 |
| frybye | macv1: yeah of course - in google <grinn> | 05:31 |
| scunizi | Geoffrey2, so your issue is really with the wpa settings in ubuntu or lack of ubuntu keeping them.. | 05:31 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: searching... | 05:32 |
| Geoffrey2 | I believe I have this laptop back in roaming mode...usually it detects 1-2 other wireless routers in range, now it's not seeing any at all | 05:32 |

| pdlnhrd | joshuajtl; i don't use vista, but in xp if i go into network places i can see the ubuntu share, did you enable the sharing before you booted the vm? | 05:32 |
| scunizi | frybye, true.. I don't know wireless that will espicially with wpa.. can you help Geoffrey2 | 05:33 |
| joshuajtl | pdlnhrd: yeah I did enable it before booting... but in network i dont see anything... | 05:33 |
| macv1 | frybye: i tried googling but all the pages are about DELL or regarding chnges to be made in /proc... i mean any other irc i can get help regarding this??? | 05:33 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: had you installed a custom wifi driver yourself - which perhaps needs to be re-istalled after every kernal update...? | 05:33 |

| standarshy | i see, hmm | 05:36 |
| standarshy | Odd-rationale: I just installed it ubuntu today and was trying to update it | 05:36 |
| genii | Geoffrey2: Maybe you hit a combo which disables your wifi adapter. Some laptops have this | 05:36 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: I admit my suggestion now is not a typical -linux-way- of solving such a question - but do you happen to have an image you made before the above change..? | 05:36 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: what version of ubuntu? | 05:37 |
| jasuus | i still dont understand how i can have a file who is owned by root, protected, which i cant open via terminal, but i can click and drag it into the trash | 05:37 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: is this on a laptop with an indicator light for when the wifi signal is being detected??? if so - is it there or...? | 05:37 |
| frybye | if off - you may have disabled it.. | 05:37 |
| standarshy | 8.04-1 | 05:38 |
| pdlnhrd | joshuatl: machine or transient folders? | 05:38 |
| frybye | another thing is - on the front of many laptops there is a small slider-switch which disables wifi.. that tends to get hit unnoticed occasionally.. | 05:38 |

| standarshy | Odd-rationale: I tried to update by clicking the notice on the system bar | 05:40 |
| pdlnhrd | joshuatl: i have mine set as machine folder and it shows up find inside xp... sorry i wish i knew why it doesn't work for you, but i just tested it and it does work | 05:40 |
| standarshy | Odd-rationale: I'm sory, what do you mean by df -h? | 05:40 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: run "df -h" in a terminal aste pastebin the output... | 05:41 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: that was genii, btw... | 05:41 |
| standarshy | ok | 05:41 |
| genii | standarshy: That was me and not Odd-rationale. df -h reports the free space remaining on hard drive | 05:41 |
| pdlnhrd | joshuatl: did you try to add it as a network place? (sorry don't know vista terms) | 05:41 |
| genii | standarshy: An extremely low number can explain if it is full or so | 05:41 |
| hassan_ | exit | 05:41 |
| Odd-rationale | hassan_: fail | 05:42 |
| standarshy | Odd-rationale: geni My mistake | 05:42 |
| joshuajtl | pdlnhrd: yeah didnt see any network places... so i'm going to try updating to virtualbox 2 | 05:42 |

| Geoffrey2 | frybye, the light is on | 05:42 |
| pdlnhrd | josuajtl: i used the one from the actual website they have .debs to download | 05:42 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: sorry pal i am outa ideas.. dont have the knowledge needed to go deeper into this... | 05:42 |
| Xcerca | is eclipe a good program for development ? | 05:43 |
| genii | standarshy: OK, space is not the issue then. Can be the drive is experiencing some bad areas on it. Suggest to run filesystem check from recovery kernel boot, or from livecd | 05:43 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: I have had the problem with an eeepc using a self-installed wifi driver that after a kernal update had to be re-installed.. but... if this has any relevance to your situation i dont know... | 05:43 |
| Xcerca | for writing c++, or is there something even better ? | 05:44 |
| standarshy | I have recently run a scandisk from windows | 05:44 |
| standarshy | and degfrag | 05:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Xcerca: well, the best way would be to try out several and decide which one you like best... (dont forget to try out vim :P ) | 05:44 |
| Gork | How do I start up the nvidia control panel or menu from command line? | 05:44 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: unfortunatly it can sometimes take a couple of days on here (at best at different times-of-the-day to reach different public...) before one lands somebody who really kn ow this or that particual area... | 05:45 |
| Sloucher | how do a grep a word and see if it's a regular expression | 05:45 |
| Xcerca | Odd-rationale , vim ... then what do you use as a complier ? | 05:45 |
| Geoffrey2 | frybye, as I recall, my wireless is supported out of the box starting with Heron | 05:45 |
| genii | standarshy: Thats not the same as running fsck from in linux. Windows can only check windows filesystems | 05:45 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: then the above would nto be the issue..hmmm | 05:45 |
| Odd-rationale | Gork: nvidia-config? | 05:45 |
| standarshy | can i run fsck from the terminal? | 05:45 |
| Odd-rationale | Gork: nvidia-settings, i mean | 05:45 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: and you dont have a guru locally that you can lean on??? | 05:46 |
| Odd-rationale | Xcerca: gcc ? | 05:46 |
| Gork | Thanks | 05:46 |
| frybye | i used too but lost contact recently.. shame shame... | 05:46 |
| Xcerca | Odd-rationale , thanks | 05:46 |
| Geoffrey2 | for linux? none that I know of | 05:46 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: my trick (as a brit living in berlin-) was to go on the ubuntu-berlin mailing list and offer a knowledge-swap - engl. conversation <> linux help .. worked for a while ... | 05:47 |
| jerasimos | hello Tiven | 05:47 |
| jerasimos | Hello to everyone... | 05:47 |
| Odd-rationale | !hi | jerasimos | 05:47 |
| ubottu | jerasimos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 05:47 |
| standarshy | genii: How do I run fsck? | 05:48 |
| frybye | only one of the 2 guys who responded was super hot on his linux - had worked for years in commercial/prof. support - 2nd/3rd level support etc.. but no lost touch - he has lost interest whatever.. | 05:48 |
| jerasimos | Glad to be here, Odd.../everyone | 05:48 |
| jjulian | is there any possibility to install a menu.lst or to get a plain one? | 05:48 |
| jjulian | with a command? | 05:48 |
| jjulian | cause after installation i dont have one!!!! | 05:48 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: generally, unless you have a boot entry for it, you need to be in a livecd...as the disk should be unmounted... | 05:48 |
| jerasimos | Rationale/ubottu...I will be observing and learning | 05:49 |
| Geoffrey2 | Broadcom BCM4311 Airforce 54g | 05:49 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: then, it would be as simple as: fsck /dev/<devicename> | 05:49 |
| standarshy | Odd-rationale: hmm, I would have to burn the livecd then because I installed it through wubi | 05:50 |
| Geoffrey2 | I probably need to try earlier in the day when there's more people on | 05:50 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: oh this is a wubi install? then fsck would not work... | 05:50 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: did you defrag in windows? | 05:50 |
| genii | standarshy: Boot into recovery kernel. Then know what partition/device your / is normally. You can usually find this by result of: mount the line which has something like: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) tells you. Then issue: fsck /dev/sda1 (in this case, your /dev may be different!) | 05:50 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: there must be a way of re-installing/re-config the driver for it - dont ask me how though... | 05:50 |
| standarshy | Odd-rationale: I defraged the drive | 05:51 |
| elfgoh | Would any1 have problems installing the nvidia proprietary driver using restricted driver manager in the latest intrepid beta? | 05:51 |
| frybye | Geoffrey2: - early in the days"" is relative.. I will be off to work soon... | 05:51 |
| frybye | 96:51am | 05:51 |
| genii | standarshy: You can go from recovery mode to normal after repairs with: telinit 2 | 05:51 |
| frybye | 06:51am | 05:51 |
| outbri | elfgoh: try asking in #ubuntu+1, intrepid specific channel | 05:51 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: may be a wubi bug... (you should repartition like a real man... :P ) | 05:52 |
| elfgoh | outbri: tks | 05:52 |
| yao_ziyuan | i dont know why: good packages like gimp 2.6 isn't updated; bad packages like network-manager is updated... | 05:52 |
| jerasimos | leaving channel for now... | 05:52 |
| jerasimos | thank you for hospitality. | 05:52 |
| genii | Odd-rationale: Ah wubi | 05:52 |
| jerasimos | c-u. | 05:52 |
| Odd-rationale | genii: yeah, wubi... :( | 05:52 |
| * genii hates wubi | 05:52 | |
| * Odd-rationale hasn't tried wubi... | 05:53 | |
| jasuus | how do you do that with your name? | 05:53 |
| standarshy | Odd-rationale: Unforunately I am unable to repartition the drive. I wanted to shink the partition through vista but I was unable to by more than 500 mb | 05:53 |
| * jasuus hum | 05:53 | |
| jasuus | ah | 05:53 |

| macv1 | hi.... could anyone suggest which software to use for ripping audio from a video file? | 05:58 |
| macv1 | 05:58 | |
| standarshy | Odd-rationale: that's brilliant! I'll definately install it the regular way then | 05:58 |
| danbh_intrepid | macv1: maybe try LiVES | 05:58 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: good :D | 05:58 |
| standarshy | Odd-rationale: Just to make sure before I make a mistake, are there any specific instructions I should remember? | 05:59 |
| macv1 | danbh_intrepid: is it in the repos? | 05:59 |
| danbh_intrepid | no | 05:59 |
| smm289 | unvu failed to query video, something, something, something. while trying to come out of hibernate, hardy. Any ideas? | 05:59 |
| omolina | hi all | 05:59 |
| Odd-rationale | standarshy: take a quick search in the ubuntu wiki about dual-booting... | 05:59 |
| smm289 | or unvc, I forgot already, lol | 05:59 |
| standarshy | alright | 05:59 |
| standarshy | thanks | 05:59 |
| standarshy | peace | 05:59 |
| danbh_intrepid | macv1: I made this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video%20Editors | 06:00 |
| danbh_intrepid | macv1: if you find more video editors, add'm up! I don't know much about video editing, or video editors on linux, so... | 06:01 |
| omolina | someone used MonoDevelop? | 06:02 |
| macv1 | danbh_intrepid: but lives seems to only edit videos.... i want to extract the audio from the video... i'v tried avidemux... that too doesnt edit the audio.... vlc hangs sometimes... | 06:02 |
| danbh_intrepid | macv1: well, I would assume that some sort of video editor would have the option to separate out the audio | 06:03 |
| nooomem | k, I have 2 seperate computers running ubuntu - I want to run a video between the two monitors connected to the computers without changing the monitor setups, is this doable? | 06:03 |
| Odd-rationale | nooomem: like a kvm switch? | 06:03 |
| jasuus | macv1: have you tried playing the movie and then setting a tape-recorder real close to the speaker? | 06:04 |
| carpediem | nooomem: you can run a video on a different computer over the network | 06:04 |
| macv1 | danbh_intrepid: previously in XP i used to use nero tools for editing the audio from avi... but nero linux doesnt seem to have that software!!! | 06:04 |
| macv1 | jasuus: i want to use as mp3 .... | 06:04 |
| nooomem | carpediem: I mean, I want to run one video using both monitors | 06:05 |
| carpediem | nooomem: but to tell you how, I'd need more specifics. not totally sure what you are trying to do. | 06:05 |
| nooomem | carpediem: or any arbitrary application for that matter | 06:05 |
| carpediem | nooomem: do you mean spanned? or duplicated? | 06:05 |

| nooomem | carpediem: but I'd be happy enough with video for now | 06:05 |
| nooomem | carpediem: spanned | 06:06 |
| jasuus | macv1: as in mplayer -dumpaudio | 06:06 |
| macv1 | jasuus: i hated mplayer... so removed it,....are u using mplayer? | 06:06 |
| jim_p | hi guys | 06:06 |
| jasuus | yea | 06:06 |
| jim_p | macv1: me too! | 06:06 |
| jim_p | macv1: i use mplayer i mean | 06:06 |
| jasuus | mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile movie_audio.mp3 will do it | 06:06 |
| carpediem | nooomem: eh, really, only way I know to do that is going to be VNC, which isn't going to be good for video. Its trivial to remotely display an application on a different computer via ssh, but spanned between two computers is...a different story entirely | 06:07 |
| nooomem | carpediem: sorry, say again if you answered | 06:07 |
| jim_p | bugaloo: the camera is built in on the eeepc tight? do an lspci | 06:07 |

| macv1 | jasuus: thanx... | 06:08 |
| jim_p | tarrant: use some outher output like gl | 06:08 |
| nooomem | carpediem: in theory, if both computers have access to the file on some common network share, they should be able to intelligently say, ok - you draw this section, I'll draw this section | 06:08 |
| tarrant | jim_p: how do I specify this? | 06:08 |
| nooomem | carpediem: but something that does this seamlessly and scales well to more than just two monitors is asking a bit much may be | 06:09 |
| bugaloo | jim_p: built in, yes | 06:09 |
| tarrant | nvm think I got it. | 06:09 |

| frybye | baldur: go to system-administration - start synaptic then go to packets and add a tick against "3rd-party sources" of similar.. | 06:23 |
| frybye | then search for the package mplayer a f t e r refreshing the list - top left in synaptic window... | 06:23 |

| carpediem | The problem with Flash sound not working (solved by using libflashsupport) is not covered on that the link that ubottu gives out. So for the love of all that's holy, could we stop using ubottu as a crutch, when he doesn't even answer the question. | 06:25 |

| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: In particular, pay attention to the paragraph that begins "The webcam and bluetooth module are disabled by default in the BIOS, you need to turn them on" | 06:28 |
| baldur | frybye: what should i add there | 06:28 |
| bugaloo | IntuitiveNipple: I already did it... | 06:28 |
| carpediem | genii: really, that is a good question, and I probably should do that. Kind of annoying it requires a log in | 06:29 |

| qbmaniac | which one is it' | 06:29 |
| hathiwala | i have installed atk cario & other supported library | 06:29 |
| jim_p | hathiwala: and you will compile it from source? | 06:29 |
| bugaloo | but I'll try to download and compile the driver... but not now... it's 02:30am here... I'm going to sleep... no more tries for today, heh... thanks, I'll try these instructions tomorrow | 06:29 |
| baldur | frybye: what should i add there | 06:30 |

| hathiwala | but while compiling i m getting error of libx11 | 06:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: That article suggests the camera is UVC, so the uvcvideo kernel module should be handling it. However, if the webcam isn't listed by lsusb the driver can't do anything. Somehow the webcam is currently turned off, it seems. | 06:30 |
| frybye | and like I said before - use google to find the info on adding medibuntu repositories and also how to add thier pgp keys... | 06:30 |
| baldur | yeahh should i add some website | 06:30 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: Building the driver won't help right now - the issue is, enabling the webcam so it is found as a USb device. | 06:30 |
| baldur | frybye: it shows be two web sites should i tick them or add some new ones | 06:31 |
| hathiwala | Jim_p: it says libX11 not found | 06:31 |

| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: regardless of what it reports, if the USB device isn't reported then something has disabled it. That is what you need to focus on. Once it appears in the lsusb results, the driver will handle it. | 06:32 |

| hathiwala | jim_p: can u help me to install GTK ? | 06:33 |
| carpediem | genii: okay, took your advice, and updated the page. I'm still going to start a petition to ban ubottu | 06:33 |
| jim_p | hathiwala: gtk is a serious element of gnome, you may break something if compiling goes wrong. now that i warned you, install libx11-dev | 06:33 |
| unop | tyler_d, if you have the deb for the previous version, install it with dpkg | 06:33 |
| frybye | baldur: good - when you have got the medibuntu sources added - then refresh the list in synaptic and search for "mp3" and it will offer stuff for media suport - try searching google for "zdnet ubuntu multimedia support" or similar.. for an article on what exactly to add... | 06:33 |
| baldur | frybye: ok | 06:34 |
| hathiwala | jim_p: no problem if it crash then i will reinstall it | 06:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: I'm not sure precisely what lsusb will report, but from everything I've read on the eee the webcam is currently not listed. | 06:34 |
| frybye | baldur - have a nice day - I am off to work now.. bye# | 06:34 |
| dontchoke | wow | 06:34 |
| jim_p | hathiwala: your call! | 06:34 |
| dontchoke | to install a deb file you only have to dpkg | 06:34 |
| tyler_d | unop: comes back saying that dpkg didn't complete, please run dpkg --configure -a | 06:34 |
| hathiwala | jim_p: libx11-dev is already installed | 06:34 |
| dontchoke | and that installs everyting? | 06:34 |
| FAJALOU | dontchoke: yes | 06:34 |
| hathiwala | still geting same error | 06:34 |
| dontchoke | wow easy | 06:34 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: According to Gentoo, the ID of the webcam on the 701 is eb1a:2761 | 06:35 |
| dontchoke | is that a debian thing? | 06:35 |
| Flannel | dontchoke: that does. You need to use gdebi if you need to get dependencies though. | 06:35 |
| aquawicket | My Login screen keep looping.. If I Ctrl + Alt + F1 and type /etc/init.d/gdm stop I can stop it.. if I start it again.. same thing.. | 06:35 |
| FAJALOU | dontchoke: deb is like a windows .exe... | 06:35 |
| FAJALOU | sorda | 06:35 |
| unop | tyler_d, i suppose you tried that then? | 06:35 |
| dontchoke | ah, so what about when its php or something | 06:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: In which case, that is the first device reported. | 06:35 |
| tyler_d | unop: yes | 06:35 |
| aquawicket | tried startx also.. it failed | 06:35 |
| tyler_d | unop: do you know how I can reverse the failed upgrade? | 06:35 |
| unop | tyler_d, can you paste the complete output to the !pastebin? | 06:35 |
| genii | carpediem: :) Good work though on being part of a solution instead of just complaining and not doing anything, as most do | 06:35 |
| Flannel | tyler_d: Finish the upgrade | 06:35 |

| aquawicket | I think since i tried to compile a new X11 and make install.. I killed things | 06:36 |
| aquawicket | how do I get things back to normal? | 06:36 |
| jim_p | bugaloo: have you tried loading the ucvideo module? | 06:36 |
| tyler_d | Flannel: fails on the language locales | 06:36 |
| Flannel | tyler_d: That's a known bug, there's a workaround. | 06:36 |
| bugaloo | IntuitiveNipple: well... that lsusb that I pasted, there was a device on first reported | 06:36 |
| tyler_d | Flannel: states that en_AU.UTF-8 is the locale however its not | 06:36 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: Run this command - if you get a result it'll tell you which kernel module supports that device. If there is no result, you'll need to install/build the driver: egrep 'eb1a.*2761' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.usbmap | 06:36 |
| tyler_d | Flannel: I have tried the work-arounds... to no avail thus far | 06:37 |
| aquawicket | anyone? | 06:37 |
| bugaloo | I see... | 06:37 |
| Guest75696 | hello guys, got an issued with expanding my xfs partition, i have a 3ware raid card and recently added more drives to my raid 5, fdisk shows that /dev/sda has 2TB and that /dev/sda1 is a 1TB xfs partition but when i go to gparted to expand it, it refuses saying that partition cannot have length of -1 sectors | 06:37 |
| IntuitiveNipple | bugaloo: Yes, I noticed that *now* - first time I searched those IDs I got a result that indicated it was another type of device. | 06:37 |
| tyler_d | Flannel: locale indicates en_CA.UTF-8 | 06:37 |
| Area_51 | what program do i use to open google earth down load | 06:37 |
| Flannel | tyler_d: You tried killing the locales thing, and then finishing? | 06:37 |
| drumstyk1 | could someone help me with my fstab? someone tried to help me make a partition automount and now i can't see it at all after rebooting... | 06:38 |
| Flannel | tyler_d: Its not just AU, theres a number of htem. | 06:38 |
| jim_p | drumstyk1: sure | 06:38 |
| bugaloo | well... I'll try a little more with your advices :) If I can't make it work, I'll be back here soon :) | 06:38 |
| bugaloo | thanks a lot | 06:38 |
| Flannel | aquawicket: Where did you install them to? | 06:38 |
| tyler_d | Flannel: how would I kill the locales thing? ctrl-x doesn't help | 06:38 |
| aquawicket | X11? | 06:38 |
| aquawicket | I put it in my home directory ./configure make make install | 06:38 |
| tyler_d | Flannel: I understand I need to have this changed to US in order to upgrade... however I cannot get it to change back | 06:38 |
| Flannel | tyler_d: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/249340 scroll down a bit, theres a post that walks you through it (although I suggest you read the full thread first) | 06:39 |

| TRIGG3R | hey guys, i have a buddy who has just installed ubuntu. everything is working beautifully except for the fact that there is no sound. we have determined that his sound card is a sound blaster, emu10k1x. i believe that he is just missing the drivers, however after searching have come up empty handed!! Any help? | 06:39 |
| drumstyk1 | thanks jim_p, can you remind me the command to open the fstab? something like gedit /fstab? | 06:39 |
| tyler_d | Flannel: | 06:39 |
| Flannel | aquawicket: Where did it intall? to /usr/ or /usr/local/? | 06:39 |
| jim_p | drumstyk1: sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 06:39 |
| aquawicket | --prefix=/usr | 06:39 |
| drumstyk1 | jim_p: /dev/sda3 /mnt/disk vfat fmask=111,dmask=000,auto 0 0 | 06:40 |
| aquawicket | so my guess would be /usr sry.. i'm new to linux | 06:40 |
| drumstyk1 | i think that line is my problem | 06:40 |
| genii | jim_p: Please don't recommend to use sudo with graphical apps | 06:40 |
| Flannel | aquawicket: That was a mistake. How hard would it be for you to reinstall? (home partition separate? relatively recent install?) | 06:40 |
| godmode117 | hi, i need help with flash (audio), after installing my new soundcard i have no sound from flash files in firefox. Audio works fine evrywhere else though | 06:40 |
| Flannel | aquawicket: Things you compile always go to /usr/local/* (or your homedir). /usr/* is for things controlled by package management. | 06:41 |
| aquawicket | not a huge deal.. I just spent about 3 hours stiing up and compiling libraries to start programming.. :P | 06:41 |
| jim_p | genii: i am more of a terminal guy, i would say nano instead. next time i will use gkdesu | 06:41 |
| Flannel | aquawicket: ah. Good. Reinstallation would be your best bet then. Why were you compiling X anyway? | 06:41 |
| go_beep_yourself | unless you compile with this ./configure --prefix=/usr | 06:41 |
| jim_p | *gksu | 06:41 |
| aquawicket | so if i put in GTK+, wxWidgets and suck /usr/local ? | 06:41 |
| TRIGG3R | hey guys, i have a buddy who has just installed ubuntu. everything is working beautifully except for the fact that there is no sound. we have determined that his sound card is a sound blaster, emu10k1x. i believe that he is just missing the drivers, however after searching have come up empty handed!! Any help? | 06:42 |
| Flannel | aquawicket: Why are you compiling those things? | 06:42 |
| genii | jim_p: Depending on the app sudo can leave normal user locked out of it afterwards | 06:42 |
| aquawicket | for wxWidgets | 06:42 |
| Flannel | go_beep_yourself: No, that's wrong. You *want* stuff in /usr/local/ | 06:42 |
| aquawicket | wxGTK to be exact | 06:42 |
| Flannel | aquawicket: Whats wrong with the packages in the repositories? | 06:42 |
| aquawicket | like i said.. kinda new to linux. | 06:42 |
| go_beep_yourself | TRIGG3R-> im currently getting my xfi soundblaster titanium working right now, got sound through usb logitech headset tho | 06:42 |
| aquawicket | don't exactly know how to find em | 06:42 |
| go_beep_yourself | TRIGG3R-> and i already knew it would be some extra work before i bought the xfi | 06:43 |
| drumstyk1 | any ideas of why i can't even see the partition anymore? | 06:43 |
| macv1 | danbh_intrepid: jasuus: jim_p: i realized that avidemux does the audio extraction too... just had to change a few settings | 06:43 |
| go_beep_yourself | TRIGG3R, is his card xfi? | 06:43 |

| aquawicket | ubuntu comes with GTK+ ? | 06:43 |
| Flannel | aquawicket: Alright. We have packages for development stuff. Once you reinstall, check out Synaptic Package Manager, it's in system > administration. It'll let you install all sorts of goodies (including these libraries). https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto is some reading on how synaptic itself works, while you wait https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware might also be good to read | 06:44 |
| aquawicket | aww... sweet | 06:44 |
| aquawicket | i like the sound of that | 06:44 |
| Flannel | tyler_d: That bug is linked from the "known issues" on the upgrade notes (which you should always check before upgrading) | 06:44 |
| drumstyk1 | jim_p: any ideas or should i try someone else? | 06:44 |

| Flannel | aquawicket: Don't feel bad about reinstalling. I reinstalled at least a dozen times when I was starting out. One of the best ways to learn is to break things! (well, as long as you don't lose anything in the process) | 06:45 |

| go_beep_yourself | FAJALOU-> its compiling right now too | 06:48 |

| hjay | hey guys, i'm unable to expand my xfs partition using gparted, it gives me an error "partition cannot have -1 sector lengths", it's a xfs partition on a 3ware raid5, current size 1TB, trying to add the extra 1tb i just expanded the array with, fdisk says the /dev/sda (the raid card) has 2TB and that /dev/sda1 (the current partition) is 1TB | 06:49 |

| jim_p | drumstyk1: can you see its contentsd in /media/disk? | 06:59 |
| Spragie | why would anyone use windows ? | 06:59 |

| Flannel | Natilous: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 07:00 |
| l337ingDisorder | carpediem: I'm using xscreensaver | 07:00 |

| Spragie | l337ingDisorder: lol | 07:00 |
| carpediem | l337ingDisorder: eh....hmm, really? ubuntu installs gnome-screensaver by default. | 07:00 |
| l337ingDisorder | carpediem: yeah this is on the other box, running debian etch with kdebase | 07:01 |
| l337ingDisorder | carpediem: then apt-get install xscreensaver | 07:01 |
| jim_p | drumstyk1: is the disk shown in fdisk -l ? can you mount it manually? | 07:02 |
| carpediem | l337ingDisorder: dunno then. I guess the only thing I could think of is maybe the files aren't readable by the user. | 07:02 |
| drumstyk1 | oh! jim_p, i found it in /mnt/disk | 07:02 |
| l337ingDisorder | carpediem: popped into kde and loaded the screensaver applet from the Kde menu and the list is empty | 07:02 |
| l337ingDisorder | hmmmm | 07:02 |
| jim_p | drumstyk1: i am sure fstab says /media/disk | 07:02 |
| l337ingDisorder | so chmod 777 /usr/lib/xscreensaver ? | 07:02 |
| carpediem | l337ingDisorder: yeah, that may work...or chmod a+r, I'm not real good with octals. | 07:03 |
| l337ingDisorder | i'll man chmod | 07:03 |
| l337ingDisorder | thanks, that's probably what it's gonna take | 07:03 |

| Hail_Spacecake | and I'm not sure how to continue booting from here | 07:06 |

| Hail_Spacecake | what makes something go into initramfs anyway? | 07:07 |

| xTheGoat121x | Greetings everyone... I've got an interesting one. I set up my girlfriend's computer with Ubuntu... and I can't get the clock straightened out! It constantly shows that the time is 4 hours behind what it actually is | 07:18 |
| IntuitiveNipple | xTheGoat121x: Check what locale the system believes it is in, and timezone | 07:18 |
| Flannel | xTheGoat121x: Is this dualbooting with windows? And, is your timezone offset 3, 4, or 5? | 07:18 |
| xTheGoat121x | It's probably a screw up with the clock setting in the BIOS, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, first. | 07:18 |
| Flannel | xTheGoat121x: Ubuntu will synchronize time, so it'll correct itself (and the BIOS clock) if there's not something else misconfigured or arguing with it. | 07:19 |
| xTheGoat121x | Flannel, she dualbooted for a short time... I haven't actually had the time to set up the dual boot yet... I guess it's really a dead point since I'll have to wipe the drive anyway | 07:19 |
| xTheGoat121x | Flannel, I sure hope it'll synch up properly... I'm going to get that configured for sure right now. | 07:20 |

| Tanalark | good evening, all. | 07:29 |
| Tanalark | have a pretty annoying problem I'd like some help solving, if anyone's got time. | 07:29 |
| Cha0sUbuntu | i updated my new install of ubuntu and now my internet is not working anyone have pointers? | 07:30 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | any Ubuntu maintainers or developers around? | 07:30 |
| acu | piju: I thought xvidcap will capture the screen only - so I can capture the webcam too | 07:30 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, well, what's it in relation to? | 07:30 |
| Tanalark | I just installed 8.04.1 yesterday, and everything seems to be working great.... except the internet connection. | 07:30 |
| Tanalark | it's very spotty. | 07:30 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, wired or wireless? | 07:30 |
| Tanalark | actually both.. though the wired only started giving me problems a few minutes before I switched back to XP (dual boot). | 07:31 |
| Cha0sUbuntu | to give more perspective, if i log into the new update from grub it has an Xconf error so i log into the one below and it doesnt have inter net | 07:31 |
| Tanalark | the funny thing is that eveyrthing was working fine when the Live CD was in... | 07:31 |
| Tanalark | and things are working as well as they always have with XP | 07:31 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, hmmm... unfortunately, I'm not quite sure where to start with that one. | 07:32 |
| Tanalark | it's spotty in that sometimes the connection will be fine... but then it just randomly drops. usually right after i've started a packet download or something. | 07:32 |
| Tanalark | yeah... that's my problem, too.. I tried changing the DNS settings... checking the gateway, etc.. | 07:32 |
| Tanalark | when the connection isn't working, it won't even ping the default gateway. | 07:32 |
| Tanalark | also, it's been failing to save the settings for my wireless router. | 07:33 |
| Tanalark | that's something I noticed, actually... it's not keeping the changes I make sometimes to the settings. | 07:33 |
| Cha0sUbuntu | Synaptic Package Manager can not download and retevie packages anyone know why this might be? | 07:33 |

| Cha0sUbuntu | ill have internet and get updates but to get other software it cant get it | 07:34 |
| Tanalark | Thegoat.. the main thing that gets me is that it's so erratic. there seems to be no pattern to the network failures except that they usually happen right after a long or high-volume transfer starts. | 07:34 |
| Flannel | Cha0sUbuntu: Pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install [package you want] | 07:35 |
| * Tanalark shrugs.. "I'm a newbie, too, to be honest.. battling problems with the 'net, myself." | 07:35 | |
| Flannel | Cha0sUbuntu: where [package you want] is the name of some package you want to install. | 07:35 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | is there a hardware database somewhere with compatible and non-compatible devices for Ubuntu? | 07:36 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, I gotcha, totally, on the random 'net thing. Last time I had that problem, it was with my wireless router, not my laptop, unfortunately. | 07:36 |
| Flannel | !hardware | zetheroo-ubuntu | 07:36 |
| ubottu | zetheroo-ubuntu: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 07:36 |
| Tanalark | that really sucks... why would you think it's only happening with ubuntu and not XP? | 07:36 |
| Flannel | zetheroo-ubuntu: Its not exhaustive, of course. | 07:36 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, I would imagine it would have something to do with either the driver or Ubuntu's network management system, you know, a setting in there somewhere. | 07:37 |
| === MadMax is now known as Guest39459 | ||
| Tanalark | fair enough. | 07:37 |
| Tanalark | any ideas on a fix? | 07:37 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | Flannel: thanks ... would you know anything about the support for Intel HDA devices in Intrepid? | 07:37 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, because if the equipment works fine in Windows.... | 07:37 |
| * Tanalark nods.. "makes perfect sense, Goat." | 07:38 | |
| womble123 | anyone aut to give me a hand with something? | 07:38 |
| Tanalark | it does sound like a driver problem, but I don't know where to start with the repair process... is there a place I can find driver fixes? | 07:38 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, I'd say the first step in the process would be to search the forums for your particular model of wireless card, see if anyone else has had the same issue. | 07:38 |
| Tanalark | wireless card, or wireless router? | 07:38 |
| WIGGMPk | What exactly is the "Default Mixer Tracks" and the "Device" that is selected mean? Meaning, if I want to use PulseAudio my Device selected says HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer) does that still mean im using ALSA? | 07:38 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | would another kernel work with my card better? | 07:39 |
| Flannel | zetheroo-ubuntu: You'd have to ask in #ubuntu+1, also, check to see what the kernel version that's in intrepid supports. | 07:39 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, wireless card. Because if there aren't any dropouts on XP, then it can't be the router -- otherwise you'd be getting the same problems on XP... | 07:39 |
| xTheGoat121x | That's how it was with mine. | 07:39 |
| Tanalark | doh. :) | 07:39 |
| Tanalark | I should have thought of that. | 07:40 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, it's fine. | 07:40 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, I've done that too. | 07:40 |
| Tanalark | ok... I'll take a look and see what I can find... the ubuntu forums from the main support page? | 07:40 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, ubuntuforums.org | 07:40 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | Flannel: I read here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SndHdaIntelSoundProblems that the codec for my hardware is not in the kernel (2.6.24-19-generic) ... is it possible that its in other kernels? | 07:40 |
| Tanalark | sounds great. thanks a lot, guys. | 07:40 |
| Tanalark | I'll come back with what info I find and let y'all know how it goes. | 07:40 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tanalark, best of luck! | 07:41 |

| DualBootn | k | 08:06 |
| WIGGMPk | DualBootn: after you back up that file... edit it.. "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and look for a section where it says Driver nvidia and change it to vesa | 08:07 |
| DualBootn | After i back it up will it tell me it was backed up or just to next line | 08:08 |
| WIGGMPk | DualBootn: it will just return to the next line.. if you want to check.. change the directory like this: "cd /etc/X11" | 08:08 |
| WIGGMPk | DualBootn: then use the list command like this : ls | 08:09 |
| Leonheart | wht the diferent beetween gtk and xface? | 08:09 |
| WIGGMPk | DualBootn: it will show you all the files in that directory and you'll see the file you backed up.. BTW.. its a capital X... /etc/X11/ | 08:09 |

| acp | cilkay, alignments, indention | 08:33 |
| cilkay | acp: And by the way, you might want to ask on #openoffice.org | 08:33 |
| Leonheart | dtech: may wrong frequency. try SHIFT+CTRL+ALT and then "-" | 08:33 |
| dtech | nope ... it hasn't finished installing ... or at least it hasn't displayed any messages since I started the install ... an empty desktop (with function mouse) appears at random, but nothing else | 08:33 |
| cilkay | acp: How complex is the document, again? | 08:33 |
| acp | just ordinary docs, k ill post this to #openoffice | 08:34 |
| blueeagle | acp: MS office does not use the open document format and OOo does not do everything the exact same way as MS does. Some minor differences may occur because of that. Check your tab-stop settings and make sure that your font and margins match up with what you used in MS Office. | 08:34 |

| blueeagle | dtech: It might be that you're running out. If that is the case you might need the alternate install cd. | 08:35 |
| m3thod_ | or how do u save as windows read | 08:36 |
| dtech | dunno ... old laptop ... does it matter? | 08:36 |
| Leonheart | the best way is save your ms-office document in ms-office first as RTF format. tht may help | 08:36 |
| blueeagle | dtech: If you run out it does. Ie. 256 mb is not enough to run the graphical installer. | 08:36 |
| acp | cilkay, Just plain typed docs with indention bullet points, its not that major my customers just adjust it the way its was. I guest Ill take blueeagle advice. thanks | 08:36 |
| Leonheart | m3thod_: openoffice.org | 08:36 |
| blueeagle | dtech: 512 should be enough for xubuntu and ubuntu but iirc not kubuntu. | 08:36 |
| Leonheart | http://openoffice.org | 08:36 |
| dtech | I thought Ubuntu was linux based? | 08:37 |
| blueeagle | dtech: Also the installer, for some reason, does not check if there's enough ram. | 08:37 |
| blueeagle | dtech: It is. But even linux can run out of memory if you use too much of it. | 08:37 |
| cilkay | Kubuntu runs fine in 512M. | 08:37 |
| m3thod_ | leonheart: been their and cant seem to install 3.0 having troubles | 08:37 |
| cilkay | Albeit a bit slow on a P3/850 ThinkPad. | 08:37 |
| blueeagle | dtech: ie, the finished installation will run *buntu with 256 mb of ram, but the installation application requires alot. | 08:38 |
| Leonheart | maybe xubuntu is fit for old pc | 08:38 |
| m3thod_ | save to desktop and still cant find directory. have extracted to desktop as well | 08:38 |
| dtech | shit I can run Win2K on 128MB ... and it's a pig! ... your telling me linux needs 512MB? | 08:38 |
| Leonheart | m3thod_: just extract all deb using archive manager and run it. it should fine :P | 08:38 |
| cilkay | dtech: First, watch your language. Second, a Linux distro circa 2000 would run on a 386. | 08:38 |
| blueeagle | dtech: One of the reasons this happens is because when installing you haven't got access to a swap partition so everything needs to fit in memory. That makes 256 mb too little. | 08:38 |
| Runamok81 | Ubuntu might, other distros are extremely lightweight | 08:38 |
| m3thod_ | yeah i thought u could put linux on your 50 buck box u have stashed away in your cuboard | 08:39 |
| blueeagle | dtech: I am not telling you that linux needs it. If you use the alternate install cd you'll be ok. | 08:39 |
| stdin | dtech: you can use the alternate CD to install on a system with less memory | 08:39 |
| Runamok81 | <--- has a question about VIRTUALIZING XP + FTP transfers | 08:39 |
| blueeagle | Runamok81: Do you want to share it with the rest of the class? | 08:39 |

| cilkay | dtech: If you're trying to run it on something that has the computing power of an iPod, you're probably wasting time installing a X/K/Ubuntu. Ubuntu Light might be an option. Puppy Linux or Damn Small Linux are couple of others. | 08:40 |

| Runamok81 | bad | 08:41 |
| l337ingDisorder | one last question for the heads before I leave - and this isn't really an ubuntu question inasmuch as debian... but I'm here so I'll ask ;) I have a basic debian setup on another machine and it has quiet in the boot params for the grub entry but it still spews all kinds of init stuff on the screen during boot-up and between x sessions... anyone know how to stop that? | 08:41 |
| xorand | what's the best software to use if I want to run a virtual copy of Solaris? | 08:42 |
| dtech | cilkay: seems like linux is QUICKLY losing its advantage over M$ if its getting as fat as they are for resources! | 08:42 |
| Runamok81 | Current Setup: Ubuntu 8.04, Virtualizing Windows XP SP3 via VirtualBox 1.6.2 | 08:42 |

| donkey-phone | solaris is slow in virtualbox | 08:42 |
| blueeagle | l337ingDisorder: bootsplash or somesuch will hide it. | 08:42 |
| xorand | thanks guys | 08:42 |
| cilkay | dtech: What are you going on about? Have you tried Vista lately? | 08:42 |
| blueeagle | l337ingDisorder: I'm not sure which splash-system is the prefered one these days tho. | 08:42 |
| donkey-phone | it's kinda funny because virtualbox belongs to sun | 08:42 |

| dtech | Vista is a white elephant | 08:42 |
| blueeagle | l337ingDisorder: What it really does is show a nice little image instead of all the debug data. | 08:42 |
| donkey-phone | umm.. vista is no virgin | 08:43 |
| Runamok81 | I'm currently running Vista + XP SP3 + Ubuntu | 08:43 |
| l337ingDisorder | blueeagle: will it also hide the debug data between x sessions? | 08:43 |
| Leonheart | l337ingDisorder: login as root and modify grub text boot data. tht should minimize ur boot config screen :p | 08:43 |

| jitu3485 | I am not able to view youtube video on my ubuntu hardy , using firefox 3.0.3 | 08:43 |
| dtech | The US government has already stated it will not use Vista, ever! ... that is a powerful statement | 08:44 |
| Runamok81 | jitu3485... you need to install flash | 08:44 |
| blueeagle | dtech: Please remember that the graphical login is a full implementation of *buntu but without the ability to write to swap. Even windows xp's installation procedure defaults to something like the alternate install of *buntu. Also I believe that 512 wouldn't be enough to run a full XP w/o swap and a big installer program. | 08:44 |
| jitu3485 | Runamok81, but i did it , sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree | 08:44 |
| l337ingDisorder | Runamok81: yea, turn on the 3d windows too, and drag one so it's halfway across 2 desktops | 08:44 |

| blueeagle | dtech: If you define a swap partition and enable it before starting the graphical installer you should be ok. | 08:45 |
| jitu3485 | also gnash | 08:45 |
| Runamok81 | one second... googling abit, I run Firefox 3 and Hardy 8.04 works fine | 08:45 |
| dtech | actually a full Windows XP install will run with about 280MB of memory without a swap ... and a PE install can do it at about 140MB | 08:46 |
| Runamok81 | jitu3485, quick question are you running 64-bit ... or using AMD? | 08:46 |
| jitu3485 | Runamok81, i386 | 08:46 |
| portablejim | Anybody found a solution to the gnome panels disappearing when the shutdown button is clicked (Ubuntu Eee 701)? | 08:47 |
| Leonheart | dtech: tht swap partition should help bit. but usually slow app run so much. coz ubuntu take about 170MB for running withouth emmbed i thing | 08:47 |
| Runamok81 | same here | 08:47 |
| Leonheart | portablejim: maybe desktop effect problem. there is much display problem for ubuntu too :P | 08:48 |
| dtech | blueeagle: swap file in linux .... hahaha ... I just learn linux doesn't have a 'c' in it! ... there's no way I'm gonna figure out how to create a post-install swap-file in it! *grin* | 08:48 |
| donkeyofdarkness | LENNOX! | 08:48 |

| blueeagle | donkeyofdarkness: you can also swap to a mysql database if you want to... | 08:49 |
| donkeyofdarkness | = O | 08:49 |
| donkeyofdarkness | That would pwn | 08:49 |
| blueeagle | donkeyofdarkness: No it would not. | 08:49 |
| jim_p | manish: what does lspci say for that card? | 08:49 |
| portablejim | The problem still remains w/o compiz turned on. | 08:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | probably slow | 08:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | but still.. | 08:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I must do it | 08:50 |
| Leonheart | Runamok81: try just extract deb archive and put in filesystem root | 08:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | I want to swap over the internet | 08:50 |
| Leonheart | maybe tht help :p | 08:50 |
| blueeagle | donkeyofdarkness: YOu would see a tad overhead on such a setup, yes. | 08:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | yes | 08:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | It would fail | 08:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | horribly | 08:50 |
| donkeyofdarkness | but it would be lulz | 08:50 |
| Runamok81 | thanks | 08:51 |
| blueeagle | donkeyofdarkness: No, it would work but it wouldn't be usable. | 08:51 |
| Runamok81 | Anyone know how to speed up FTP transfers w/ an Win XP Guest OS? | 08:52 |

| donkeyofdarkness | Runamok81, it has an option to use a gigabit NIC | 08:53 |
| Leonheart | Runamok81: can u just use ftp tansfer program | 08:53 |
| jim_p | manish: what type of card is it? usb, pci, pcmcia? | 08:53 |
| Runamok81 | yeah, I could select that... but it doesn't seem logical.. I mean FTP just CRAWLS | 08:53 |
| VSpike | Just recovering an ext3 file system from a damaged disk. There is one hardware sector that I didn't get. Looking at its position with dumpe2fs, it's in an area called "Reserved GDT Blocks" in Group 0. Looks to me like that should be harmless to data. Is that right? | 08:53 |
| Runamok81 | no sir Leonheart | 08:54 |
| blueeagle | VSpike: What does google say about GDT blocks? | 08:54 |
| Runamok81 | I am using a proprietary Windows program linked to ActiveSync | 08:54 |

| Leonheart | Runamok81: Using WINE or CROSSOVER to run win app should be faster than using virtual system | 08:56 |
| Runamok81 | hmmm... can anyone else test their FTP connection inside a guest Windows XP? | 08:56 |
| VSpike | blueeagle: best answer is this, probably http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20060508.023346.df45ee08.en.html | 08:56 |
| blueeagle | VSpike: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-108411.html | 08:56 |

| macv1 | hi all.... can file roller open 7z files??? | 08:57 |
| macv1 | 08:57 | |
| VSpike | blueeagle: yeah, same link. So do you take that to mean that they are not in use normally? | 08:57 |
| Runamok81 | I haven't tried it, but I guess I could.... | 08:57 |
| === verdant is now known as verdant_ | ||

| Leonheart | even tht wine mod to :( | 08:57 |
| blueeagle | VSpike: It would help if you read the answers to the questions. :) | 08:57 |
| Runamok81 | one sec... googling for an answer (activesync + WINE) | 08:58 |
| VSpike | blueeagle: I did. I just wanted to confirm that I had understood the answer correctly. | 08:58 |
| blueeagle | VSpike: Well the GDE blocks, as the answer reads, are there to allow for resizing a volume without unmounting it first. | 08:59 |
| blueeagle | VSpike: So you did understand it correctly as far as I can tell. | 08:59 |
| Runamok81 | looks like WINE is a NO GO for ActiveSync 4.5 | 08:59 |
| ElijahDuBarryVT | how to understand wich video player use mozilla? | 09:00 |
| Leonheart | Runamok81: Bad :( | 09:00 |
| VSpike | blueeagle: does it mean that they are only in use during online resizing? If you have done an online resize, will they contain important data for ever more? Or as they are used, do they get taken out of the reserved GDT blocks pile and become something else (inodes or whatever?) | 09:00 |
| Runamok81 | yeah, and to think. I have to virtualize windows to flash my PPC to run Linux... Hee hee | 09:00 |
| VSpike | blueeagle: Actually, I am 99% sure I never grew that FS so I can probably assume they are dead space :) | 09:01 |
| blueeagle | VSpike: The way I would do this is to have this reserve availible at all times except during a resize operation. This is, if I understand it correctly, a temporary location where the resizer moves data while changing the structures. After a resize operation is complete these blocks ought to be cleared. | 09:02 |
| VSpike | blueeagle: that would be my guess too | 09:02 |
| macv1 | hi all.... how can i make file roller open .7z files??? | 09:02 |

| ikonia | Runamok81 guess OS is brdiging out of the host, and your using wirless, thats just a limiting factor of how virtualization can effect you | 09:21 |

| ActionParsnip2 | macvr: id be more wary what you paste to your terminal, read what people write then not only will you learn but you won't trip over like that | 09:23 |
| blueeagle | Runamok81: I've seen a few poor ftp clients on windows to know that not all are very well coded. | 09:23 |
| Runamok81 | would a wired connection make a difference? I'm guessing this was just a protocol issue... whatwith the connection going through a virtualized NIC card... to HOST OS... etc... | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Runamok81 a wired connection may make a difference as they are easier to bridge in that the interfact hook is simpler | 09:23 |
| Runamok81 | okay thanks blueeagle.. but there is no way to identify the FTP server | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Runamok81: try filezilla in your windows system, it may be a misconfigured app | 09:24 |

| Runamok81 | specifically, the server I'm connected to | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Runamok81: netstat -a | 09:26 |
| blueeagle | dialman: You haven't set up your smb credentials correctly. | 09:27 |

However, when I looked for scilab using either Synaptic Package Manager or Add/Remove, scilab didn't appear in the list. How do I remove it? Thanks. | 09:27 |
| Leonheart | is tht firefox can use ftp:// | 09:27 |
| Leonheart | :P | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Runamok81: ftp uses tcp | 09:27 |
| blueeagle | dialman: ie. your local username/password are not automagically transferred to samba username/passwords | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip2 | tftp uses udp | 09:27 |
| dialman | SMB share is setup not to need username or password. Eg. from windows I can 'just connect' without a username or password. | 09:27 |
| Leonheart | seem like we can use apache for share :P | 09:28 |
| wartalker | how to set the window position at the bottom | 09:28 |
| Runamok81 | think I found her | 09:28 |
| blueeagle | dialman: Try looking in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 09:28 |

| scuser | hi all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04, I've been trying to login to the system where the information about the user is saved in ldap db and the authentication is via kerberos; I've watched the auth.log on the server, the user was granted a ticket but the user didn't login as it can't find the information on the server, how can I solve this problem | 10:31 |

| Caveman | although I work wiht windows 9 to 5 | 10:36 |
| Caveman | hah | 10:36 |
| ikonia | scuser you need to change the resolution order to "ldap" files rather than files | 10:37 |

| peter771 | does anyone know how to install the latest version of alsa instead of the one in the repository? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | peter771 why do you need it ? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | peter771: changing the alsa version can have serious effects on your system | 10:38 |
| scuser | ikonia: yes, through nsswitch.conf I added passwd: files ldap, and the same for group and shadow, does this mean that the info in db is unreachable or incorrect ? | 10:38 |
| Leonheart1 | salsa with alsa | 10:38 |
| ikonia | scuser that means it will use files before ldap | 10:38 |
| strange | meek: i still think it was something about a dolphin church springs to mind when i see your nick :P | 10:38 |
| ikonia | !offtopic | 10:38 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 10:38 |
| scuser | ikonia: I've tried it as ldap then files and the same happens, the user takes the ticket but it never logs in | 10:39 |
| peter771 | ikonia, the latest version used in intrepid includes a fix for my sound card however I don't want to upgrade to intrepid as 8.04 causes serious system freezes | 10:39 |
| ikonia | scuser from the client can you query the ldap directory | 10:40 |
| ikonia | peter771 I see, have you considered waiting for a backport, or contactng the alsa-ubuntu maintainers to query a backport ? | 10:40 |
| peter771 | ikonia: so its not possible otherwise to compile alsa 1.0.17 to work with the gutsy kernel? | 10:41 |
| scuser | ikonia: sure through ldapsearch | 10:41 |
| ikonia | peter771: it is possible, it just can have seiours effects as sound is a pretty "linked" component to the desktop | 10:42 |
| ikonia | scuser: so from the client you can query the server using ldap search and see the user details your trying to login as ? | 10:42 |
| Leonheart1 | im-death.a | 10:43 |
| peter771 | ikonia, I know I've tried the howto's on the forums before with negative consequences which is why I wondered if an entry could be made in synaptic making it easy to revert back to the current version of alsa in the gutsy repo | 10:43 |
| scuser | ikonia: the results are shown on the terminal, but the strange thing is that the debug log on the server produces permission denied to open berkely db, but I can see the user details | 10:43 |
| ikonia | peter771 thats why I said contact the maintainer for a backport | 10:44 |
| Caveman | help | 10:44 |

| ikonia | Leonheart1 no - offtopic noise | 10:45 |
| Caveman | ikonia: oh my bad,, I forgot a / haha | 10:45 |

| Dudema1 | Is there a way to get nautilus to open some other folder instead of the home folder by default? | 10:46 |
| Dudema1 | i.e. open ~/Documents instead of the home folder at startup? | 10:46 |
| ikonia | Dudema1 I think there is a gconf setting for that | 10:46 |
| scuser | ikonia: sorry can't get you | 10:47 |
| Leonheart1 | yeah. maybe just nake new panel will goog | 10:47 |
| Dudema1 | how does one open up gconf again? | 10:47 |
| ikonia | Dudema1 gconfeditor | 10:48 |
| Leonheart1 | never do it before though | 10:48 |
| ikonia | scuser your slapd.conf on your client machine, who are you binding as | 10:48 |
| Dudema1 | nothing, ikonia | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Dudema1v search the package manager for gconf editor | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Dudema1 sorry that was for you | 10:49 |
| scuser | ikonia: slapd.conf is only on the server not on the client machine | 10:49 |
| Dudema1 | ikonia: ah | 10:49 |
| apolo | bonjour mr | 10:49 |
| ikonia | scuser I thought you had to have one on the client to specify which server you needed to bind to | 10:49 |

| Dudema1 | legend2440: there we go | 10:50 |
| iceman | hi guys ! I'm trying to make my DVI output work on my laptop running Hardy. Do you have any pointers on how to do that? | 10:50 |
| Dudema1 | iceman: would you be from the uplink community by any chance? | 10:50 |
| ikonia | iceman plug the monitor in and open the screen resolultion appliction | 10:50 |
| scuser | ikonia: you mean ldap.conf, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/55222/ | 10:51 |
| ikonia | scuser: ahh thats it - thank you | 10:51 |
| iceman | Dudema1: hum, I have been part of ubuntu-be for some time, but now I'm concentrating on my thesis, so I'm not as involved as before | 10:51 |
| ikonia | scuser arn't you missing a user in there | 10:51 |
| scuser | ikonia: which user ? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | scuser: one moment, let me see if I can get access to my ldap config | 10:52 |
| iceman | Dudema1: but I'm not quite sure what you mean by "upstream community" | 10:52 |
| Dudema1 | iceman: I said uplink community, not upstream community | 10:53 |

| mgolisch | cableroy: mostlikely its some problem with your output plugin | 10:55 |

| stanman1 | hi, anyone have ubuntu 8.04 server running? | 10:57 |

| stanman1 | darn... | 10:58 |
| stanman1 | anyone using openvz? | 10:58 |
| Leonheart1 | !openvz | 10:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about openvz | 10:59 |
| iceman | ikonia: do you know more about making the DVI output work? as I said the screen resolution application doesn't seem to detect my LCD screen... | 10:59 |
| blueeagle | paul68: The simplest workaround is to just save the file as myfile.php and then it will change highlighting autmagically. | 10:59 |
| Leonheart1 | me too | 10:59 |
| ikonia | iceman then you have to hardcode it in xorg | 11:00 |
| murlidhar | !info openvz | 11:00 |
| ubottu | Package openvz does not exist in hardy | 11:00 |
| murlidhar | !info openvz | stanman1 | 11:00 |
| ubottu | stanman1: please see above | 11:00 |
| iceman | ikonia: and I'm guessing it isn't possible to hardcode the fact that it should use the LCD screen if it's connected and the laptop screen otherwise... | 11:01 |
| ikonia | iceman no, no you should be able to hardcode it | 11:01 |
| ikonia | iceman: what video card do you have in the laptop | 11:01 |
| iceman | it's an intel chip | 11:02 |
| ikonia | don't see that as being a problem | 11:02 |
| ikonia | !dualhead | 11:02 |
| ubottu | Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 11:02 |

| iceman | ikonia: I'm not really planning on using both screens at once. I just want to be able to use the DVI output when I plug it in | 11:04 |
| scuser | ikonia: hey any new ideas? | 11:04 |
| iceman | I thought that sort of things would work automagically now... | 11:05 |
| ikonia | scuser: just reading my configs now | 11:05 |
| blak | How do you know that ntp is actually working correctly? mine is always at 0 across the board when i do ntpq -plist | 11:05 |
| iceman | especially as it works when I use my DVI to VGA adapter | 11:05 |
| ikonia | iceman: doesn't you laptop have a function key sequnce to swap to dvi/vga out ? | 11:06 |
| scuser | konia: ok can I see it if it's ok? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | scuser just checking there is nothing serious in it before displaying | 11:06 |
| iceman | ikonia: yep, and it works fine when I use my DVI to VGA adapter, but not when I directly plug a DVI cable in | 11:06 |
| ikonia | iceman sounds like a bug | 11:06 |
| scuser | ok | 11:07 |
| ikonia | scuser well one thing I can tell you is that my ldap.cofn file which includes kerberos is MUCH bigger than yours | 11:07 |
| iceman | ikonia: ok, where should I report this? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | iceman launchpad | 11:07 |
| iceman | ikonia: that, I know. what package? xorg? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | iceman gnome-desktop | 11:08 |
| scuser | ikonia I'll show you another one that may be the one you need as there are 2 ldap.conf files and we don't know which one is used | 11:08 |
| ikonia | scuser /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf ;) | 11:08 |
| quentusrex | Hello. I have an apache server. The host name is set properly, but the domain isn't. How do I change the domain that apache believes references to my server? | 11:08 |

| blak | How do you know that ntp is actually working correctly? mine is always at 0 across the board when i do ntpq -plist | 11:09 |
| quentusrex | how? | 11:09 |
| scuser | ikonia : yes | 11:09 |
| ikonia | blak: stop ntp for 2 minutes, then do an ntpdate and see what the drift is | 11:09 |
| ikonia | quentusrex edit the config file and change the ServerName directive to your FQDN | 11:09 |
| blak | ikonia how do i stop it? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | blak use the init script | 11:10 |

| charley_Brown | hello everyone! | 11:11 |
| ikonia | blak not what I suggested | 11:11 |
| scuser | ikonia: how? | 11:11 |
| ikonia | scuser a good question, this isn't mysetup | 11:11 |
| trav | I have an ubuntu 7.04 cd, and a computer that's not on the net... yet | 11:11 |
| trav | if I install 7.04 on it, and connect it, will it be able to jump straight to 8? | 11:11 |
| scuser | ikonia: please If you can let me see it please | 11:11 |
| trav | or will it freak out and require big downloads? | 11:12 |
| ikonia | scuser I'v asked, waiting for them to confirm it's fine | 11:12 |
| ikonia | scuser: also trying to get access to "my" configs which are more simple | 11:12 |
| scuser | ikonia: ok | 11:12 |
| ikonia | trav it will require big downloads | 11:12 |
| ikonia | trav: you may find it easier to just download 8.04 and do an install | 11:12 |
| trav | hmm | 11:12 |
| blak | where is this init and how do i use it ikonia? | 11:12 |
| trav | yeah, I was thinking that | 11:12 |
| ikonia | blak /etc/init.d | 11:12 |
| ikonia | blak: or use update-rc.d | 11:13 |
| trav | my isp hosts ubuntu on a mirror at http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ but I can't find the cd image | 11:13 |
| blueeagle | I am in need of running a script every three hours and one minute (not 1 minute passed every 3rd hour). Does anyone know how that may best be accomplished? | 11:13 |
| trav | or maybe I can and don't recognise it | 11:13 |
| blueeagle | ie if it runs at noon then it needs to run at one past three and two passed six. | 11:13 |
| ikonia | blueeagle put it in cron, 3,6,9,`12,16,20,00 | 11:13 |
| blak | where is update-rc.d located? | 11:14 |
| blueeagle | ..then at three past nine and four past midnight and five past three. | 11:14 |
| ikonia | trav they are repo mirrors | 11:14 |
| ikonia | blueeagle youd have to script that then | 11:15 |
| trav | so that's different from the cd image then :/ | 11:15 |
| ikonia | trav they are the software repos | 11:15 |

| rapha | ikonia: Hey, another question. I kept searching a bit in aptitude, and there is a package 'openoffice.org-ure' listed there, but I can't install it ("No candidate version found for openoffice.org-ure") - any chance I might find that around somewhere for OOo 2.0 AMD64? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | rapha if you re-read the error you'll find it's telling you the issue | 11:32 |
| ikonia | "no install candidate availabl3" | 11:32 |
| blak | ikonia: still getting ntpdate[16463]: no server suitable for synchronization found | 11:32 |
| blueeagle | ikonia: Well which script would that be. I've never done any scripts for /etc/init.d before. | 11:32 |
| ikonia | blak is ntp running | 11:33 |
| blak | ikonia: its not running | 11:33 |
| ikonia | blueeagle you need to make a new one, or put it in rc.local | 11:33 |
| rapha | ikonia: yeah, sure, but why does it then list the package in the first place? Isn't that an indicator that it once existed? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | blak then as I said earlier something is blocking your server from doing ntp | 11:33 |
| ikonia | rapha no | 11:33 |
| rapha | k :-/ | 11:33 |
| nsprams | Hi folks, when mounting a window share.. i am not able to access.. and the system hangs.. can anyone help ? | 11:34 |
| blak | ikonia: i would only have the defaults blocked from a new instlall of 8.04.1 | 11:34 |
| ikonia | blak router or ISP ? | 11:34 |
| blueeagle | ikonia: ahh.. googling for rc.local then. :) | 11:34 |
| rapha | Maybe I'll just try building it myself. | 11:34 |
| blak | ikonia: oh good call, i actually am behind a router, i forgot, i usually dont use this AP | 11:34 |
| NET||abuse | blueeagle: kde does it by default, any way to get gnome to do it? referenceing my earlier question about resizing windows with alt+mouse3 and drag | 11:34 |
| NET||abuse | and I have to simulate mouse3 with holding down left and right click | 11:35 |
| blueeagle | NET||abuse: I don't use gnome so I wouldn't know, surry. | 11:36 |
| blueeagle | sorry* | 11:36 |
| NET||abuse | i've looked in system->prefs->keyboardshortcuts but ther's no way i can see to assign mouse clicks as events | 11:36 |
| blueeagle | ikonia: Is it cocher to put: "php /path/to/script.php &" into rc.local for a script that will perpetually run? | 11:36 |
| blueeagle | kosher* | 11:36 |
| NET||abuse | It was a settings in feisty with compiz i remember, now on fresh hardy install without compiz(vmware) and can't do any window resizing this way anymore :( | 11:36 |
| ikonia | blueeagle dno't see why not | 11:37 |
| bastid_raZor | NET||abuse; try the middle click and alt to resize | 11:37 |
| NET||abuse | bastid_raZor: I've only 2 button mice | 11:37 |
| bastid_raZor | NET||abuse; by middle. i meant the scroll wheel.. oh... | 11:37 |
| NET||abuse | bastid_raZor: yeh my mouse wheel doesn't have a click in, so it's not a button, but holding both buttons should simulate button 3 | 11:38 |
| quantumelixir | Could anyone tell me what the use for a passphrase(while using ssh-keygen) is? | 11:38 |
| NET||abuse | though maybe my mouse device isn't configured to do this correctly, | 11:38 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, i have Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" in xorg.conf | 11:38 |
| nsprams | Hi folks, when mounting a window share.. i am not able to access.. and the system hangs.. can anyone help ? | 11:39 |
| NET||abuse | ahhhh, on my track pad it works.. but not on my external usb mouse?? | 11:39 |
| NET||abuse | damnit | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | maybe the trackpad is capturing the 3 button emulation thing (?) | 11:40 |
| NET||abuse | it seems to be working on track pad, yeh, why wouldn't it follow through to usb mouse? | 11:41 |
| NET||abuse | fairly standard usb mouse | 11:41 |
| NET||abuse | i could switch mice in the office later and try other one. s | 11:41 |
| Samushka | Hello, im practicing how to compile applications from SVN and BZR, it's all going good... one annoyance is having to re-run .autogen and then finding out im missing something, then running it again, something else is missing, etc etc ... is there any way to run autogen to list all the missing packages, so i can just install then in one shot instead of re-running autogen all the time? | 11:41 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, ok, well i'm one step closer :) | 11:41 |
| quantumelixir | What is the use for a passphrase(while using ssh-keygen)? | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | quantumelixir: to create a security key for encryption | 11:42 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: means you don't get to decrypt the content under protection by that key without using that passphrase | 11:42 |
| === rapha is now known as rapha_ | ||
| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: id try the 2nd mouse, although 3rd button emulation is on, perhaps the mouse cant send both left and right click signals together | 11:43 |
| === rapha_ is now known as rapha | ||
| NET||abuse | i sometimes use it to protect my ssh certificated sessions, when you import your public key into the known-hosts file on a remote server, you can login without a password, | 11:43 |

| zetheroo-ubuntu | Is there a way to install Windows XP Pro on a machine that only has Ubuntu on it without having to reformat and start from scratch? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | blak quite possibly | 11:44 |
| scuser | ikonia: system doesn't contact nsswitch.conf for retrieving users and passwords, how can I configure the system to check nsswitch to get the user info | 11:44 |
| Oprtz | hi, i have a home LAN network, consisting of 2 computer, 1 is windowsXp and the other is ubuntu 8.04(this machine) i want to access the shared files of my windowsXp and viceversa, can i do this ? if yes how? i dont know abt ubuntu networking | 11:44 |
| ikonia | zetheroo-ubuntu yes, pre-partition the disk | 11:44 |
| AMD007 | Gedit hangs on my system, what can be the problem?? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | scuser it should use nsswitch.conf | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo-ubuntu: you can resize partitions with gparted, then when you have free space, install xp to that gap | 11:44 |
| ikonia | !samba > Oprtz | 11:45 |
| ubottu | Oprtz, please see my private message | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo-ubuntu: you will need to reinstall grub though as xp will write the bootsector with its own | 11:45 |
| scuser | ikonia: I disabled the lines passwd, group and shadow and I still can login ? | 11:45 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | ActionParsnip : so thats all? ... | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | AMD007: reinstall gedit | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo-ubuntu: yeah | 11:45 |
| ikonia | scuser disabled ? | 11:45 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip: yeh, this is one possability, it's a usb dongle to a wireless logitec mouse | 11:45 |
| ikonia | scuser: define disabled | 11:45 |
| Oprtz | Ubutto : ok | 11:45 |
| AMD007 | ActionParsnip : i did it | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | AMD007: is there a config file in ~/ ? | 11:45 |
| Oprtz | ikonia: i dont know how to install samba | 11:45 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip: ok, poo to it. | 11:45 |
| ikonia | Oprtz: read the pm ubottu sent you | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: logitech doesnt like linux too much | 11:45 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | ActionParsnip : but how can I resize the partition when I am booted into it? | 11:46 |
| quantumelixir | NET||abuse: So if I want to ssh into a computer then should I know a passphrase besides the password? | 11:46 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip: aww, so annoying | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo-ubuntu: you boot to livecd | 11:46 |
| zetheroo-ubuntu | ActionParsnip : ok... thanks | 11:46 |
| Oprtz | ikonia: ok buddy | 11:46 |
| scuser | ikonia: here is the nsswitch.conf file http://paste.ubuntu.com/55232/ | 11:46 |
| AMD007 | ActionParsni : with which filename (config file) | 11:46 |
| ikonia | scuser commenting them out sets them to default which is "files" | 11:46 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: well if you have published your rsa key to the remote server into it's known-hosts file, then you don't generally need to provide a password for that system, but then to protect the rsa key used in this process you can just passphrase the key itself, means that you have one password for all systems you login to, | 11:47 |
| scuser | ikonia: oh, I see | 11:47 |
| NET||abuse | that prevents physical access to your pc being a problem | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | AMD007: is there one called .gedit | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | AMD007: or .geditrc | 11:47 |
| AMD007 | ActionParsni : no its not available, i did sudo ls -la | 11:48 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: at least phsyical access to your pc being a BIT less of a security problem anyway.. | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | AMD007: basically you need to find where gedit keeps its settings | 11:48 |
| quantumelixir | NET||abuse: you mean if that computer considers me a known host then I needn't provide password/phrase? | 11:48 |
| AMD007 | ActionParsnip : hmm | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | AMD007: try cd ~/; find -name gedit* | 11:48 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: so if you ssh into lots of servers, with different root passwords, when you first get access to them, you can publish your ssh-keygen'd key to that server, and not have to remember the root credentials for that server, just your rsa key passphrase | 11:49 |
| blueeagle | ikonia: It didn't work to run "php scriptname.php &" as it gets stopped when put in background. :/ | 11:49 |
| AMD007 | ActionParsnip : ok wait | 11:49 |
| ikonia | blueeagle nohup it | 11:49 |
| iceman | my keyboard layout is correct in CLI ttys and in my GNOME session. However, it isn't correct in GDM. How do I change it WITHOUT creating a xorg.conf file? | 11:49 |
| blueeagle | googling | 11:49 |
| ikonia | iceman xorg.conf is nothing to do with gdm | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: you have an xorg.conf file | 11:49 |
| quantumelixir | NET||abuse: So the passphrase becomes an alias for many root pwds? | 11:49 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: if you generate your key without a passphrase, then send the key to the remote servers known-hosts file, then when you login with ssh root@remoteserverip it will drop you STRAIGHT to the root prompt, no password | 11:50 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: kinda :) | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | quantumelixir: id log in as a user with sudo access | 11:50 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: yeh, more or less, in an inexact metaphore that would be kinda correct | 11:50 |
| scientus | can i rerun the menu.1st creation script? | 11:50 |
| scientus | i accidentally deleated my windows line | 11:50 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: hehe, how do you like that for clarity :) | 11:50 |
| scuser | ikonia: is there any log file I can trace to see if the client contacts the LDAP server during login or not ? | 11:50 |
| quantumelixir | NET||abuse: Thanks a lot! | 11:50 |
| scientus | and i dont want to figure outhow to get it working again | 11:50 |
| ikonia | scuser snoop the network with tcpdump or either real, see the auth.log on the server, | 11:51 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: basically you also have to make sure the remote hosts sshd.conf has the allowtrusted hosts settings to be set. ... one sec while I lookup what that directive is though | 11:51 |
| iceman | ikonia: hum, my layout was correct before, but now that I deleted my xorg.conf, it isn't anymore. If they aren't supposed to be related, this is a bug. | 11:51 |
| quantumelixir | NET||abuse: About the protocol itself.. we require separate public-private key pairs for each connection right? | 11:51 |
| ikonia | iceman well in that case you must have forced a language in your xorg | 11:52 |
| ikonia | iceman why did you delete your xorg | 11:52 |
| blueeagle | ikonia: Well that helped, but even sleep() in php causes it to use 90+% cpu. :/ | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | scientus: i dunno about recretaing, heres the syntax of the file. back it up before you play so you can roll back if you screw up (as you have seen) http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/56461-grub-menu-lst-chainloader-help-needed.html | 11:52 |
| blueeagle | ikonia: Thanks for the guidance tho. Really appreciated. | 11:52 |
| iceman | ikonia: to see if the screen auto-detect would work better, and it does ! | 11:52 |
| ikonia | blueeagle php cli stuff normally spikes at startup then settles down - I don't know why | 11:52 |
| scientus | i dont have a problem with lithe linux lines | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: you need to set kb layout in xorgconf to the correct country | 11:52 |
| scientus | ubuntu has allways gotten the hard drive numbers wrong on every install ive done | 11:53 |
| icesword | iceman, hehe, nice nick | 11:53 |
| scientus | or the root it sends to the kernel giving me itraramfs | 11:53 |
| blip- | why doesn't Launchy show icons for the programs, it shows an empty white icon for some progs like skype and pidgin\ | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | scientus: there are parts for windows too, find the word chainloader | 11:53 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: the 2 directives in question are RSAAuthentication yes and PubkeyAuthentication yes in /etc/sshd_confg | 11:53 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: I don't have a xorg.conf anymore, I don't want to restore it because my DVI screen won't work if I do | 11:53 |
| NET||abuse | quantumelixir: the pub/private key thing? not sure what you mean? | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: why didnt you simply rename instead of delete? | 11:53 |
| quantumelixir | NET||abuse: As in, we require different pairs for different connection right? | 11:54 |
| maxagaz | how to use empathy ? | 11:54 |
| scientus | there i found stuff with the right language | 11:54 |
| maxagaz | how to add an account ? | 11:54 |
| blueeagle | ikonia: Again you are right. Thanks a million. ;) | 11:54 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: actually, that's what I did... | 11:54 |
| ikonia | blueeagle no problem | 11:54 |
| ikonia | blueeagle: I wish I could explain why that happens | 11:54 |
| scientus | the kernel install deb i ran deleated those entries | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | maxagaz: http://nixcraft.com/getting-started-tutorials/3293-create-new-user-account-ubuntu-linux-command-line.html | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: then rename back | 11:54 |
| catmando | hello all | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: you can always comment out lines | 11:55 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: then I'll be back where I started, without my DVI screen. | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: you may have to go there first to get to the goal | 11:55 |
| quantumelixir | NET||abuse: When I ssh into a new host is a new public private key pair generated? | 11:55 |
| scientus | it deleated the importand parts even when i said keep the old version really suxs | 11:56 |
| scientus | cause i changed the format a little | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | scientus: maybe you hit save earlier | 11:57 |
| dns53 | php has the wrong time as the state has switched over to daylight saving at a different time, how do i manually change it | 11:57 |
| scientus | no i hit save, then keep, then it said changed on disk | 11:57 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: I don't know what you mean. Situation was : correct kb layout in GDM and NO detection of DVI screen. After renaming of the xorg.conf, I got WRONG layout in GDM (correct everywhere else) and external DVI screen detected (yeah!) | 11:57 |
| scientus | it was above the 'eample part's so it just reset that part | 11:57 |
| scientus | *example part | 11:57 |
| quantumelixir | NET||abuse: Sorry, I think I got confused a bit. Everyone has only one private-public pair no matter how many hosts they connect to right? | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: ok then with the display all good, set your keyboard language in xorg.conf | 11:58 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: to do that, I'll have to restore it, which would again break my external display... | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: if you dont restore it you wont have any settings for your x server and one will be made | 11:59 |
| makkro | have installed a xen kernel but it wont show up in menu.lst Ubuntu server 8.04 64Bit, have run grub-update, any ideas? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | makkro: how did you install it? | 12:00 |
| makkro | apt-get | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | makkro: strange, i thought itd update stuff | 12:00 |
| makkro | ActionParsnip, me too | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | makkro: only thing i can suggest is backup your menu.lst and add it manually | 12:01 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: I don't understand what you mean. My screens work better without a xorg.conf (which is now obsolete, as xorg is supposed to autoconfigure). If I restore it my external screen won't work. | 12:01 |
| aunvoh | anyone feel like helping a noob with virtual box? i can't get my sound to work | 12:02 |
| makkro | ActionParsnip, have tried it, cannot boot on that kernel | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: your system needs an xorg.conf | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: it sets up the mouse, keyboard and display | 12:02 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: I'm currently operating my computer without a xorg.conf file... I moved it then rebooted my laptop. | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | then ive no idea | 12:03 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: Xorg 7.2 doesn't need an xorg.conf file | 12:04 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: for most configs, anyway | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | are you using intrepid? | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | or are you using hardy? | 12:05 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: nope, hardy | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | good | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | well ive always and probably always will have an xorg.conf | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | similarly i configure my network in /etc/network/interfaces | 12:05 |
| iceman | ActionParsnip: ow, don't be so pessimistic | 12:05 |
| iceman | someday you'll just plug your screen in, and everything will just autoconfigure, the way it's supposed to be | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | iceman: i dont like auto anything | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | i want control | 12:06 |
| scuser | ikonia: I changed it to passwd ldap only without files and it is still logging, does this mean that it switched to the files ? | 12:06 |
| osfameron | I just want it all to magically work | 12:07 |
| dns53 | auto is great when it works perfectly the first time | 12:07 |
| * osfameron hates the xorg.conf and edits it only under duress, and only because the control panels ubuntu provide (as at GG) are completely worthless | 12:07 | |
| ActionParsnip | i hate it, i push in a cd and i have to disable a tonne of stuff jumping in my face offering me stuff | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | massively annoying | 12:07 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| iceman | computers are tools, you shouldn't have to tweak it and work on it. You should work WITH it. | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | i do work with it. i want it to work hen i want, not it trying to second guess me and get it wrong | 12:08 |
| iceman | and for me, that means the more things work automagically, the glader I am | 12:08 |

| ActionParsnip | hi nakata | 12:11 |
| Jack[-_-]asS | hello i got ubuntu 7.10 installed on my comp but i also got xp with it...how can i remove ubuntu 7.10 complete without harming xp | 12:12 |
| Jack[-_-]asS | ?? | 12:12 |
| havocstorm | hey guys | 12:13 |
| havocstorm | has anyone checked out the 8.01 betas? | 12:13 |
| dns53 | Jack[-_-]asS you need to remove the boot loader entry using the windows recovery console and then delete the partition | 12:13 |
| jrib | Jack[-_-]asS: run 'fixmbr' from your windows install disk and format the ubuntu partition | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack[-_-]asS: you will need to use the xp cd to reinstall the bootloader, then simply head into xp and reformat your linux partition to ntfs / fat32 so it can be used as storage space for windows | 12:13 |
| jrib | havocstorm: there's no such thing. But if you want to discuss intrepid, please use #ubuntu+1 | 12:13 |
| havocstorm | jrib, thanks | 12:14 |
| Jack[-_-]asS | so i need to boot with win xp disc and delete-format that partiotion that linux using | 12:15 |
| Jack[-_-]asS | than what? | 12:15 |
| === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin | ||
| jrib | Jack[-_-]asS: and fix the mbr, that's it | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack[-_-]asS: no, when the boot has come to ask for first input, press f6 | 12:16 |
| dns53 | Jack[-_-]asS i believe there is a recovery console option on the cd, and you run fixmbr to wipe the boot menu, after that you can remove any partitions linux related | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack[-_-]asS: you will drop to recovery console and you can fixmbr | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack[-_-]asS: i'd ask in ##windows as this is not a ubuntu support question | 12:16 |
| === Tiven__ is now known as Tiven | ||
| Jack[-_-]asS | ok thanks anyway | 12:17 |
| Jack[-_-]asS | i try that | 12:17 |
| Oprtz | ikonia: i am now able to see my windows machine from ubuntu, but cant access its share folders ? | 12:17 |
| Jack[-_-]asS | i dont want to delete my files from xp i got a very important things on it | 12:18 |
| Jack[-_-]asS | thanks | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: are you challenged for a username and password? | 12:18 |
| thomaspivot | i have a program running as a daemon...inside the program i have code which makes system() call to change password for a user...its like system(echo password | passwd user --stdin) ...but the issue is that since it is running as daemon it doesnt have access to stdin, stdout, stderror ... is there any workaround such that i can achieve the functionality that i am trying for? | 12:18 |
| Oprtz | ActionParsnip: NO | 12:18 |
| Chousuke | thomaspivot: that's... not very secure. | 12:19 |
| MrKennie | Jack[-_-]asS: before you start playing with your filesystems, I stringly suggest you backup if you have important files. | 12:19 |
| bimberi | MrKennie: +1 | 12:19 |
| Oprtz | it shows a waiting icons and then nothing shown | 12:19 |
| NET||abuse | aww, pidgin doesn't know lastlog :( | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: id check the sharing permissions on the windows side are ok, you should be getting asked for username and passwords | 12:19 |
| NET||abuse | quentusrex: did you figure out the ssh key thing? sorry went away for a while | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | MrKennie: if the data is important you should have a backup anyway | 12:20 |
| MrKennie | ActionParsnip: of course | 12:20 |
| Oprtz | can i send u the image on imageshake ? | 12:20 |
| Chousuke | thomaspivot: you're going to have to figure out another way to change the user's password from code. system() is not it | 12:20 |
| Chousuke | thomaspivot: but, a more important question: why the hell are you changing a user's password from a daemon? | 12:20 |
| aunvoh | anyone have experience getting Virtual box audio to work? | 12:21 |
| thomaspivot | @Chousuke ... is there any other non interactive way of doing it ...i just need to reset to a predetermined value | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | aunvoh: have you installed the extras? | 12:21 |
| jrib | aunvoh: make it use pulseaudio | 12:21 |
| Chousuke | thomaspivot: look at how passwd does it. | 12:21 |
| jrib | !pm | aunvoh | 12:22 |
| ubottu | aunvoh: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 12:22 |
| Chousuke | the code is open, so just get it and use it as an example. | 12:22 |
| thomaspivot | Chousuke: passwd needs a confirmation ...which is what i am trying to simulat ethrough echo and pipe | 12:22 |
| ikonia | thomaspivot: I suggest you take this to a programming channel | 12:22 |
| Chousuke | thomaspivot: the confirmation is just something passwd does; what you're interested in is the part of passwd that changes the password | 12:23 |

| LjL | mib_b4blih, of course the IP addressing space is standardized, if it weren't you wouldn't have an internet | 13:28 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih tons on amazon, o'reilly is always a good publisher | 13:28 |
| paul68 | so you have for workspace 1 as browsers homepage google | 13:28 |
| mib_b4blih | LjL: Evidently, I'm a newbie :D | 13:28 |
| paul68 | for the second for example ubuntu | 13:28 |
| blueeagle | paul68: As far as I know no webbrowser are aware or care which workspace they are opened on. Nor should they imo. | 13:28 |
| jrib | mari_ntutu: well it also mentions gconf and pessulus before sabayon even. And tells you that you should see the GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide for more in depth information on gconf. And that guide tells you how to set default values for gconf system-wide | 13:29 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: I search for books on TCP/IP? | 13:29 |
| rakib | ikonia: my commands don't seem to work as expected. is it due to the aliases ? if i remove the aliases then they would surely execute ? | 13:29 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: just "networking" | 13:29 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: or on general networking | 13:29 |
| paul68 | blueeagle: ok thanks | 13:29 |
| ikonia | rakib thats right | 13:29 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Thanks | 13:29 |
| rakib | ikonia: thanks | 13:29 |
| mib_b4blih | LjL: Thanks for your time! | 13:29 |
| Guest71511 | Last night I deleted some files and this morning when I started my computer I have no tool bars. Any ideas how I can bring them back to the panel again plese? | 13:29 |
| ikonia | Guest71511: you asked that about 2 minutes ago | 13:30 |
| ikonia | Guest71511: people have been going through options with you | 13:30 |
| kibibyte | im lokking how to make urlencode in bash | 13:30 |
| LjL | Guest71511: you have no *toolbars*, or you have no *panels*? those aren't the same thing | 13:30 |
| Guest71511 | ikonia - u are right, but nothing has helped so far | 13:30 |
| ikonia | Guest71511 so how is asking again going to make it wotrk | 13:30 |
| mib_b4blih | One more thing. The passphrase for a private key in SSH protects what and from whom? | 13:30 |
| LjL | Guest71511, it helps us if you give us feedback on the advice we give. for instance, i don't know what happened when you tried the ctrl+alt+f1 thing and reset the panel from there. | 13:31 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih read up on networking | 13:31 |
| Guest71511 | Apologies I am confusing everyone. I have no tool bars at the top or at the bottom so can't access anything. It's a sif they are out of the screen area. | 13:31 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: your running before walking | 13:31 |
| LjL | mib_b4blih: it protects you from people who somehow gain physical access to your computer (or access to your files, anyway) from getting your private key with ease | 13:31 |
| blueeagle | Guest71511: Did you press CTRL+ALT+{KeyPad+} | 13:31 |
| Guest71511 | LjL I thought I replied. I tried this but nothing happened | 13:31 |
| Guest71511 | blueeagle : I will try thks. | 13:32 |
| LjL | Guest71511: you said nothing happened when you had tried the alt+f2 then "xterm" thing | 13:32 |
| jim_p | has firefox 3.03 reached the repos | 13:32 |
| Guest71511 | blueeagle which is the KeyPad* key?? | 13:32 |
| jim_p | ??? | 13:32 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Isn't Networking a big undertaking for learning something like SSH? I just want to be able to SSH.. | 13:32 |
| Guest71511 | LjL I will try again | 13:32 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih you can ssh | 13:32 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih so no problem | 13:32 |
| LjL | mib_b4blih: if you want to be able to ssh, just type "ssh <IP>" as we've been saying all along | 13:32 |
| blueeagle | Guest71511: That is the big "+" key on the rigth of the keyboard (ie the keypad) | 13:32 |
| blueeagle | Guest71511: Above the key labled "enter" all the way to the right unless ofcourse you're on a laptop. | 13:33 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Of course I can. I was just asking if it wasnt necessary to learn Networking first, as you had suggested | 13:33 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih not to use ssh, but to understand your questions - yes | 13:33 |
| Guest71511 | LjL It tells me it cant display | 13:33 |
| LjL | mib_b4blih: no, but it's necessary if you want to satisfactorily answer the questions you asked about internal and public IPs | 13:33 |
| Guest71511 | blueeagle will try | 13:34 |
| mib_b4blih | LjL: ok.. | 13:34 |
| smm289 | windows has a device manager to tell you what drivers and hardware components are installed, Does Hardy have something similiar | 13:34 |
| Ven]n | i have a bootable usb stick with the ubuntu 8.04 image on it.. how do i install ubuntu to that same usb stick? its 4 GB | 13:34 |
| blueeagle | smm289: lspci and lsusb usually do the trick. | 13:34 |
| erUSUL | smm289: "sudo lshw" | 13:34 |
| LjL | smm289: yes, there is the "lshw" command that does that, and there is also a graphical interface that uses it in GNOME, although i don't remember where it is (don't use GNOME) | 13:34 |
| qweqweqwe | fuck | 13:34 |
| mib_b4blih | The passphrase protects my private key from people who have access to my computer? | 13:35 |
| Guest71511 | blueeagle it did nothing | 13:35 |
| LjL | mib_b4blih: yes, as well as people who somehow gain access to your files in /home, as i said | 13:35 |
| blueeagle | Ven]n: I do not recomend you do that. USB sticks have got limited lifetimes and they "wear out" as you write to them. | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 13:35 |
| blueeagle | Guest71511: Ok. Was worth a shot. | 13:35 |
| Guest71511 | blueeagle it seems all my tool bars are off the screen for some reason? I can't recuperate them | 13:35 |
| blueeagle | Guest71511: and by "toolbars" you mean "panels". Please use the right name for them. ;) | 13:36 |
| Ven]n | bluedusk, the alternative is my SSD :) | 13:36 |
| Guest71511 | blueeagle thks I appreciate your help | 13:36 |
| Guest71511 | LjL Appreciate your kind help too | 13:36 |
| Ven]n | bluedusk, its a netbook | 13:36 |
| mib_b4blih | LjL: But I can easily cat id_rsa and read the contents! | 13:36 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: join #ssh or buy the orielly ssh book | 13:36 |
| Ven]n | blueeagle, * | 13:36 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: your asking general help, which is nothing to do with ubuntu | 13:36 |
| blueeagle | Ven]n: However if you want to do this you need to make the usb stick bootable and extract the files from the ISO-image to a partition and boot from that usb stick and then you can install it. | 13:36 |
| LjL | mib_b4blih: noticed how it says "Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED" at the start of that file? | 13:36 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Im using cgi:irc. Have problems with logging into that channel using a proxy connection. | 13:37 |
| Ven]n | blueeagle, thats already done.. but youre saying i can just select the usb key in the installation? | 13:37 |
| blueeagle | Ven]n: You may need the alternate install iso to do this tho. | 13:37 |
| Ven]n | uhh | 13:37 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih sorry, that doesn't make ubuntu an gernal chat channel, the o'reilly book on ssh is VERY good | 13:37 |
| mosta213 | salut | 13:37 |

| ikonia | mib_b4blih: I use it on a regular basis | 13:37 |
| blueeagle | Ven]n: Well it would probably be /dev/sd0 unless you've got scsi or sata drives installed. In which case you'd need to identify the stick. | 13:37 |
| mib_b4blih | LjL: Oh!! I'm really asking dumb questions. Sorry! | 13:38 |
| mosta213 | hello | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Ven]n: sudo fdisk -l will show it | 13:38 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Will check it out! | 13:38 |
| sysdef | mib_b4blih: if you loose your private key you have enough time to disable it and generate a new one while the bad guys brutforcing your key | 13:38 |
| Ven]n | blueeagle, ive used unetbootin to create the bootable usb with ubuntu | 13:38 |
| Guest71511 | blueagle I did all you advised correctly. Perhaps you can correct me on terminology. At the top and bottom of the screen there are lots of icons. Is this called the toolar or panels? | 13:39 |
| Ven]n | im just wondering if i can install from like E:/extracted_image to E:/ | 13:39 |
| === Dirac is now known as dalton | ||
| Ven]n | so i can make changes to the image and not use the "use ubuntu live without adding changes to your computer" | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Ven]n: linux doesnt use drive letters, just mount points and devics | 13:39 |
| Ven]n | ActionParsnip, i know that. it was an example | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Ven]n: thats cool, i take nothing as taken in here | 13:40 |

| Ward1983 | how do i get rid of network-manager and the applet? | 13:40 |
| Pici | !hostname | wers | 13:40 |
| ubottu | wers: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 13:40 |
| nsprams | Hi folks, when mounting a window share.. i am not able to access.. and the system hangs.. can anyone help ? | 13:40 |
| LjL | Ward1983: you should be able to just uninstall network-manager, last time i checked it wasn't a hard dependency of anything | 13:40 |
| * ActionParsnip makes mental note of hostname trigger | 13:40 | |
| ActionParsnip | nsprams: how are you mounting it? | 13:40 |
| Ward1983 | LjL, great :) will try | 13:41 |
| nsprams | ActionParsnip: using smbmount | 13:41 |
| smm289 | gnome-Device Manager, is a nice GUI device manager, the name is accurate ;) | 13:41 |
| wers | thanks, pici! | 13:41 |

| smm289 | can Hardy connect with 802.11N? | 13:41 |
| Guest71511 | LjL and blueeagle Thks for your help this morning. Can either of you suggest where I can go from here???? | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | nsprams: can you ping the system? | 13:42 |
| nsprams | yes | 13:42 |
| nsprams | it mounts ... but when i try to access.. it goes like a loop | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | nsprams: is their a fireall on the windows pc? | 13:42 |
| jim_p | new opera 9.60 today!! | 13:42 |
| nsprams | ls /mnt/windows-shares/NY2/NY2/NY2/ | 13:42 |
| nsprams | ls: reading directory /mnt/windows-shares/NY2/NY2/NY2/: Object is remote | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | nsprams: and if so is it allowing the correct access | 13:42 |
| smm289 | does Hardy have support for 802.11n? | 13:42 |
| blueeagle | nsprams: You're doing smbmount on a share that is running on another system? | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | smm289: id imagine so | 13:43 |
| LjL | Guest71511: given the little i know of the situation, i'd suggest creating a new user for yourself (and then moving over your personal files), as it looks to me like you have deleted configuration files | 13:43 |
| nsprams | blueeagle: yes | 13:43 |
| blueeagle | nsprams: Is this other system running windows or samba? | 13:43 |
| nsprams | blueeagle: windows | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest71511: you could rename all the gnome config folders and reboot | 13:43 |
| Guest71511 | LjL Perhaps a good idea. How can I do that? | 13:43 |
| blueeagle | nsprams: Do you have a user account on the windows server? | 13:43 |
| smm289 | Action: its just that I have an intel 802.11n card in my laptop, but its only connecting at a G rate. I used to connect with N fine under windows | 13:43 |
| nsprams | ActionParsnip: how do i check if it has any thing wrong.. | 13:43 |
| Guest71511 | ActionParsnip Thks how can I do that | 13:43 |
| nsprams | blueeagle: yes, i can connect from windows... but i am trying to use ubuntu for all my office needs now... stuck with this | 13:44 |
| LjL | Guest71511: well, you can do it from the GNOME settings, but since you probably can't access them, you can "sudo adduser newusername". then you also need to add it to some important groups, such as "admin" (the one that lets you use sudo), that's done with "sudo adduser username groupname". type "groups" as your user to see what groups it currently belongs to, and replicate those | 13:44 |
| Guest71511 | LLjL Can I not reload the deleted files? | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest71511: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ but use mv instead of rm | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | nsprams: can you give me your mountng command please | 13:45 |
| Guest71511 | LjL I am sure if I do this i will get lost in the process. | 13:45 |
| blueeagle | nsprams: Have you run (as root): smbpasswd -add <username> <password> | 13:45 |
| nsprams | ActionParsnip: blueeagle : will paste the command.. one sec | 13:45 |
| jim_p | smm289: is there a kde equivalent for gnome-device manager? | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | blueeagle: isnt that to be ran on a samba server, not one connecting to a file sharing windows box??? | 13:45 |
| Guest71511 | ActionParsnip. This sounds a great idea. Sorry being a newbie what do you mean by use mv instead of rm??? | 13:46 |
| blueeagle | ActionParsnip: You may be right. I haven't done this for years. :) | 13:46 |
| nsprams | sudo smbmount //ip-soft.net/shares/ /mnt/windows-shares/ -o username=psadhees | 13:46 |
| LjL | Guest71511: seems pretty straightforward to me. "adduser" adds the user. "groups" show you what groups you belong to. "adduser <user> <group>" adds a user to a group. | 13:46 |
| jim_p | smm289: and where is it? i installed it and i lost it :P | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest71511: do the action on the folders it specifies individually but use mv to rename, delete only once you have a sound config | 13:46 |
| nsprams | blueeagle: ActionParsnip: the command is "sudo smbmount //ip-soft.net/shares/ /mnt/windows-shares/ -o username=psadhees" | 13:46 |
| Guest71511 | LjL Thks. Appreciate what you say | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest71511: try to keep deleteing broken configs to a minimal so you can roll back | 13:47 |
| smm289 | Jim_P: I beleive I saw a KDE version of device manager, I found the Gnome version in the Add/Remove... system tools | 13:47 |
| smm289 | Jim_P: It should be located under applications/System Tools | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nsprams: is it shared over wan? | 13:48 |
| Guest71511 | ActionParsnip. I am going to try what you say. do I just click on the web llink or type this in the terminal? | 13:48 |
| jim_p | smm289: thanks a lot. i was looking for it in control panel | 13:48 |
| blueeagle | nsprams: try: mount -t smbfs -o username=psadhees,workgroup=yourworkgroup,guest //ip-soft.net/shares /mnt/windows/shares | 13:48 |
| nsprams | ActionParsnip: its our office share.. | 13:48 |
| nsprams | blueeagle: trying now | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest71511: you need to go to the site, if you read the folder list it specifies to rm, you need to rename them using mv (E.g. mv .gconf gconf_old) | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest71511: as an example | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest71511: just give them different names to what they have | 13:49 |
| blueeagle | ouchh.. "office share"... That sounds ehh... dangerous. | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | nsprams: id check the hostname you are connecting to. the .net means the system has to hit that domain first, which is on the www | 13:50 |

| cowboyd | Hi, I just took a "partial distribution upgrade" of the 8.10beta about 5 minutes ago, and I fear that it is hung on the "cleaning up" step. The last line in the terminal output is "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place." I'm a bit worried at this point about how to proceed without destroying something major. Anyone have advice on what to do? | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dft: if it works then sweet | 14:10 |
| blueeagle | linkinxp: I don't use gnome so I wouldn't know. | 14:10 |
| dft | it does | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | cowboyd: id give it a bit | 14:11 |
| nsprams | dany_21a_: smb://199.106.237.143 doesnt show any files.. | 14:11 |
| paul68 | blueeagle: I've to keep an close eye on your answers I already learned a lot from you today thanks for that | 14:11 |
| dft | but I'm wondering if there is a better way while using bash shell scripting | 14:11 |
| cowboyd | ActionParsnip: it's been at it for over 10 minutes, and I don't see any noticeable cpu or disk usage | 14:11 |
| dr-lee | i read this article allready..seems very complicated but i will try | 14:11 |

| cowboyd | also, am I endangering the process by using IRC? | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cowboyd: indeed but i think its eithe taking its sweet time or hng in which caseyou're gonna have to look at your processes | 14:15 |

| dft | let alone your system:) | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cowboyd: no, should be ok. the new programs are not used until yuo run them | 14:15 |
| Pici | dft: You can probably use stat to get the time faster. i.e.: stat -c %x file.ext : fyi, it may use your shell's builtin stat, so change to bash if you're using something else (it didn't work properly for me in zsh) | 14:16 |

| mcplectrum | how can i force hardy to use 75hz instead of 60? At the moment only 60hz is available, but the monitor supports 75hz | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | BlueEagle: they make more money by supporting windows so they put more effort into supporting that which is an excellent business model for creatinve as it generates maximum cash | 14:26 |

| SurfnKid | gotta run | 14:37 |

| ikonia | mctagif how are you deleting the partitions and at what stage are you deleting them | 14:37 |
| ikonia | mctag: keep in mind you need to have the volumes stopped the the logical volumes deactived | 14:37 |
| mctag | ikonia isnt there any way to wipe that crap exept wipe or dd | 14:37 |

| cwraig | murlidhar, do you have a webcam or some other kind of video input device? | 14:37 |
| ikonia | mctag: so you've not done fdisk on the physical devices (not meta drives) and removed the partitions | 14:38 |
| murlidhar | cwraig: nope . just the tvcard . | 14:38 |
| anphi | hi, I've got an KUbuntu USB-Stick that will not start X or bash and just stops in an busybox (initramfs) every time I boot it | 14:38 |
| dr-lee | copy and pasting some lines in the terminal windows which i dont understand is allright for me but compiling without knowing what i am doin there is quite dangerous..there is risk that i am compiling malware in the kernel | 14:38 |
| abe3k | is it possible to view a windows registry from ubuntu ? | 14:38 |
| ikonia | abe3k not relaly | 14:38 |
| ikonia | really | 14:38 |
| alsor | ne2k__: yes, u r right:) | 14:38 |
| ne2k__ | abe3k: you can probably run regedt32 under wine. not sure, though | 14:38 |
| abe3k | no I mean my windows from another partition | 14:39 |
| LjL | ne2k__: yeah but wine's own regedit uses a different format, so you'd have to try windows' own | 14:39 |
| TuTUXG | BlueEagle, just because there are no one that knowledgeable to write a better driver for stuff like graphic cards | 14:39 |
| mctag | ikonia: ack. mdadm has a lot of bugtraqs the last time i wiped the drives to get rid of the prob. takes a loooong time on 2 500 gb | 14:39 |

| cwraig | murlidhar, ok there is a good chance that that is your tv card then, i have never used tvtime but i have used xawtv to debug tvcard inputs, i would recommend installing that (sudo apt-get install xawtv) then running xawtv from the command line and see what comes up | 14:40 |
| cwraig | ne2k__, yea i suppose the question was about firewalls so i should have been more specific | 14:41 |
| tony_ | irc.freenode.org/vbox | 14:41 |

| ward__ | ActionParsnip, for a desktop those 2 raptors work great :) | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: 4 x SCSI HDDs to make 1 logical drive | 14:44 |
| ward__ | lol mctag use tab completion its a double _ at the moment :p | 14:44 |
| anderson | hi help please | 14:44 |
| Dudema1 | !ask | 14:45 |
| murlidhar | cwraig: installed it but it's not showing any channels | 14:45 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 14:45 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, sounds good too, but i only have a desktop, no server so i use SATA :) | 14:45 |
| mctag | nah i'm oldskool | 14:45 |
| anderson | i cant the register in the channel ubuntu-br | 14:45 |
| BlueEagle | TuTUXG: If you're interested in my rant I can /msg it to you. I don't see any point in continuing in here. :) | 14:45 |
| anderson | is hard | 14:45 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, ive been thinking though, i have 2 regular drives of allmost the same size, maybe im gona put them into raid0 all 4 | 14:45 |
| mctag | afk | 14:45 |
| TuTUXG | BlueEagle, it's ok, im just random chatting | 14:45 |
| BlueEagle | :) | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: or raid 10 | 14:46 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, i dont need redundancy anyway :D might aswell go for speed | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: or raid 5 with one drive as disk parity | 14:46 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, if it was a server i would go for RAID5, imho the best combo between speed and redundancy | 14:47 |
| cwraig | murlidhar, ok, i think its safe to assume that your card is setup correctly from a hardware/driver point of view, you will now need to scan for channels and this is where you will need to ask someone else maybe hit up #mythtv i dont know much about the use of these cards only their setup | 14:47 |
| abe3k | ok so I think a cool idea would be to copy windows registry to overwrite wine's registry and view it | 14:47 |
| murlidhar | cwraig: k thanks .:) | 14:47 |
| BlueEagle | ward__: The speedgains from raid0 is only apperant on very large files. On small files the access times eat up any potential gain from running raid0. Atleat that's what I'm told. | 14:47 |
| ward__ | abe3k, no need for overwrite | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | abe3k: you can simply view the .reg file with yuor favourite text viewer, its a text file | 14:48 |
| ward__ | abe3k, you could export the whole registry and read it as a file with regedit :) | 14:48 |
| ibeL | g | 14:48 |
| abe3k | ward__ : so I can use wine's regedit | 14:48 |
| ward__ | lol ActionParsnip beat me to it | 14:48 |
| cwraig | abe3k, cant you just export the regsitry from regedit in windows? | 14:48 |
| abe3k | ward__ : windows registry is in binary mode | 14:48 |
| ward__ | abe3k, never tried it but that would seem logical yes, you should ask in #wine to make sure | 14:48 |
| friezeart | hello. i am trying to install a mail server plus some imap mechanism, so i can access mail securely. previously i used courier-imap ssl and postfix, but i think there is newer software. had seen tutorials on ubuntu sites before now i just cant see to find them | 14:49 |
| abe3k | cwraig : but I have to log into windows which I don't want to do | 14:49 |
| ward__ | abe3k, im sure you can export the windows registry into a reg file like ActionParsnip also said | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | abe3k: itll make a file of about 5Mb then you can read it in nano | 14:49 |
| abe3k | ActionParnsip : windows registry isn't a text file I guess | 14:49 |
| ward__ | lol too lazy to boot windows, well then i dont think we can help you any further, at least not me | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | abe3k: or be smart and use something like: cat ./file.reg | grep <search string> | 14:49 |

| BlueEagle | ward__: I would create a backup of the registry files that wine generates before copying over the ones from your windows drive. | 14:50 |
| ward__ | BlueEagle, im not the one planning to do that :p | 14:50 |
| abe3k | ActionParsnip : this is windows registry for software "/media/sda1/WINDOWS/system32/config/software.sav" and its binary | 14:51 |
| ward__ | BlueEagle, abe3k wants to read his windows registry in wine and we allready told him its best to export his registry in windows and then open it in wine, no need to overwrite | 14:51 |
| cwraig | abe3k, if i remember correctly there was some kind of group policy that let you run commands in windows on shutdown, you could dump your registry on each shutdown to a text file and then import it into wine each time (theres prob a command line thing for that too) | 14:51 |
| Frozenball | I hate Windows registery | 14:51 |
| wtgee | Hola...where did the 'turn trackpad off while typing' feature go in Ibex? | 14:51 |
| Frozenball | the *nix way is much better | 14:51 |
| BlueEagle | ward__: My bad on the nick. But as he sais, he doesn't want to boot into windows. THat leaves overwriting as the only viable option unless you want to start modding regedit to take a parameter and open a different file. :) | 14:52 |

| wang | irc.pythian | 14:57 |
| ward__ | :s | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: mapping hotplug? | 14:58 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, correct, do i need it? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: im conversant with the file | 14:59 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, probably not if you dunno about it :) | 14:59 |
| thiebaude | ward_:you trying to do something with usb? | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: not heard of it | 14:59 |
| Lamba | i used to have an app years ago on gentoo where you could pipe in text and it'd give you an ascii art bubble writing of it, bout 2-3" high. - cant for the life of me remember what it was called though. anyone seen it in ubunru repos ? | 14:59 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, ok then im gonna try if it works without, because one interface is connected to my neighbours wifi network and it can fall away sometimes | 14:59 |
| wtgee | warn__: usb network cards? | 14:59 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, i thought it could be needed to reconnect automatically | 15:00 |
| ward__ | thiebaude, nope not at all why do you think that? | 15:00 |
| ward__ | thiebaude, /etc/network/interfaces is used to store the configuration of network interfaces | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: just comment out the line then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 15:00 |
| mctag | re | 15:01 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, ah nice i thought i really had to reboot to make sure it worked, didnt now restarting networking would do it :) | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: nar reboots are for windows and kernel updates | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: linux is made for uptime dude | 15:01 |
| thiebaude | ward:just googling to see if i could come up with an answer | 15:01 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, actually its possible to do a kernel update without rebooting since a while ago :p | 15:01 |
| dxj313 | hello | 15:02 |
| ward__ | thiebaude, ah ok no problem :) | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: nice | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ward__: id still reboot to make sure it comes up ok from cold | 15:02 |
| mctag | ward_: know a way to remove all lvm /raid without remove or dd / wipe ? | 15:02 |
| ward__ | thiebaude, another tip: if you type the first few letters of a nickname press tabl to use tab completion, :) (works in a terminal aswell for files and dirs) | 15:02 |
| ikonia | you can't do kernel updates without rebooting | 15:02 |
| ikonia | thats impossible | 15:02 |
| ward__ | ActionParsnip, will do, its a VM anyway :) gonna try to loaddbalance between 2 interfaces | 15:02 |

| ikonia | dont | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: if its all working why are you wanting to fix it? | 15:04 |
| ferronica | ikonia: what? | 15:04 |
| thiebaude | luddite:did you sudo apt-get update-manager -d? | 15:04 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: actually it won't as 8.04 is an LTS release so it shouldn't alert that 8.10 is available | 15:04 |
| thiebaude | did | 15:04 |
| ferronica | ikonia: didnt get you | 15:04 |
| ikonia | ferronica: you don't login as root | 15:04 |

| ActionParsnip | thiebaude: graphics, sound, wireless? | 15:05 |
| luddite | ActionParsnip: when i upgrade to 8.04 it totally fucked up my system so i needed to fresh install -(i backup everything b4 i do installs so no data was lost). so im wondering if this will be another dismal failure like what most people experienced last upgrade? | 15:06 |
| mctag | ikonia: got an idea ? to wipe all former crap ? | 15:06 |
| ferronica | ikonia: Oh, i wanna to do some renaming of file in usr, what command should i use? | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: i always do a clean install due to the woes ive heard | 15:06 |
| ikonia | ferronica: sudo mv | 15:06 |
| thiebaude | actionparsnip:in 8.10 i tried to change plug n play to intel 815 and then when i rebooted the os would not load | 15:06 |
| luddite | cool - point taken | 15:06 |
| ikonia | mctag: use fdisk to destroy the partition | 15:06 |
| luddite | i will try though | 15:06 |
| luddite | i only have wifi and webcam drivers needed | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ferronica: e.g sudo mv ~/somefile.txt /usr/bin/ | 15:07 |
| luddite | compiz settings DAMN | 15:07 |
| luddite | can they be saved | 15:07 |
| ward_ | mctag, if you mean fakeraid its not very usefull in linux anyway, software raid is faster i read several times | 15:07 |
| mctag | ikonia: did that overwrote it some times the damn kernel still redetect the old lvm | 15:07 |

| Ward1983 | mctag, no its a vmware VM | 15:27 |
| magnetron | shadowbq, you need to generate keys for all the users that should login to ssh via keys. | 15:27 |

| Ward1983 | mctag, bridging? | 15:29 |
| jrib | Caesi: in general you make the file executable and then give it's path in a shell. So chmod +x file followed by ./file for example | 15:29 |
| magnetron | shadowbq, generate keys for the users, then disable password authentication in the sshd config | 15:29 |
| shadowbq | magnetron, yes. This is ubuntu server not a desktop. root disabled via ssh, root only on actual terminal tty0. | 15:29 |

| irieKEN | Anyone know where the automagic kernels generation gets its drive# values from? It keeps generating my grub entries to boot from hd(2,0), making me have to change it to hd(0,0) every time I do a kernel update. | 16:01 |
| ikonia | murlidhar bit of a weak response I admit, but if he's got it working and wrote a guide he seems like a good start | 16:01 |
| prakash_ | noodlesgc:ya.....but i am still looking for a simpler one.. | 16:01 |
| a_godumov | OK | 16:01 |
| harveyd | mur, I am using gnome, but there isnt actions for these, if I know how to do it from bash it would be a good start | 16:01 |
| ikonia | aleboco iptables and qos | 16:01 |
| a_godumov | is it possible to create an ad hoc wireless network with the iwl4965 card? | 16:01 |
| a_godumov | because i`ve been trying to do that for the last week and i am almost desperate now | 16:02 |
| ikonia | a_godumov i don't believe many linux drivers will support that | 16:02 |
| a_godumov | why not? | 16:02 |
| a_godumov | and i think that the problems appeared ever since kernel 2.6.24 | 16:02 |
| prakash_ | noodlesgc:we promote ubuntu in our college...but regarding video editors ,students are expecting a tool which is as simple as windows movie maker | 16:02 |
| murlidhar | harveyd: actually i don't use gnome and i don't think it can be done using bash . | 16:02 |
| aleboco | ikonia, what? is it not possible with ifup? | 16:03 |
| a_godumov | before that i had a perfectly working ad hoc with a bcm4318 card and after that i just couldn`t get my ad hoc to work | 16:03 |
| noodlesgc | prakash_ try avidemux | 16:03 |
| prakash_ | noodlesgc:thts the reason i am very particular about "simple" | 16:03 |
| ikonia | aleboco adhoc mode, thats not just bringing up the card | 16:03 |
| harveyd | im basically trying to tdo alt+tab but with predefined windows | 16:03 |
| a_godumov | no with kernel 2.6.26-1 i see the same error messages i got before | 16:03 |
| Rainmakr | blah | 16:03 |
| harveyd | no bother, cheers, nobody seems to know how to do this, it seems like it would be popular / useful functionality | 16:03 |
| a_godumov | the card works fine with network-manager in managed mode but i want to set up an ad hoc network | 16:04 |
| a_godumov | does anybody know how to do that? | 16:04 |
| philippe_ | I have done a lot of print work with my VirtualBox Windows XP operating system. Now, when I want to print in Ubuntu, the printer is no longer detected. I have rebooted two times with no luck. In system/printer, printer is marked "off" when it is powered and connected. any idea? | 16:04 |
| * Rainmakr looks for food | 16:04 | |
| * harveyd wonders if im feeling brave enough to try writing it | 16:04 | |
| * Rainmakr horny looks on people | 16:04 | |
| * harveyd #gnome | 16:04 | |
| ikonia | Rainmakr: stop please | 16:04 |
| jrib | harveyd: check into wmctrl | 16:04 |
| aleboco | ikonia, i understand. but i only need to force the card to be 11mb in whatever network | 16:04 |
| ikonia | aleboco ooh sorry, I thought you where asking about another question | 16:05 |
| ikonia | aleboco: iwconfig has a"rate" option | 16:05 |
| harveyd | that looks perfect, thanks | 16:05 |
| snot | I'm trying to install ubuntu server edition on a box of mine. However can't find dmraid on the cd... also I dont have dpkg in my path | 16:05 |
| snot | anyone know how I can activate ym raids? | 16:05 |
| ikonia | snot: I strongly advise against using fake raid | 16:05 |
| ikonia | snot: very strongly | 16:05 |
| snot | ikonia: it's hardware raid | 16:05 |
| aleboco | ikonia, i know that option. but does that mean that i cannot longer use k/networkmanager? | 16:05 |
| ikonia | snot raid on the motherboard ? | 16:06 |
| snot | ikonia: I usually just activate it with dmraid -ya | 16:06 |
| snot | ikonia: yes | 16:06 |
| ikonia | snot thats fake raid | 16:06 |
| ikonia | snot: that is not hardware raid | 16:06 |
| ikonia | aleboco not sure on that one | 16:06 |
| aleboco | ikonia, is there anyway to add something to rc.local? | 16:06 |
| Jeruvy | ikonia: fake raid? you mean software raid. | 16:06 |
| ikonia | aleboco don 't see why not | 16:06 |
| snot | ikonia: I already configured my box with hardware raid (a second one as well) | 16:06 |
| ikonia | Jeruvy no, I mean fake raid | 16:06 |
| snot | ikonia: but I cant see it | 16:07 |
| ikonia | snot if your using hardware raid you don't need dmraid | 16:07 |
| aleboco | i'll try | 16:07 |
| Jeruvy | ikonia: elaborate please | 16:07 |
| aleboco | thanks | 16:07 |
| snot | ikonia: on debian etch I did | 16:07 |
| snot | ikonia: but what do I need then? | 16:07 |
| ikonia | snot then it's fake raid - not hardware raid | 16:07 |
| snot | ikonia: I belive you active them the same way | 16:07 |
| ikonia | Jeruvy fake raid is a cross between software and hardware raid | 16:07 |
| ikonia | snot no you don't | 16:07 |
| ikonia | snot your using fake raid | 16:07 |
| snot | I have two raided disk's showing and on my deb box they are visible in /dev/mapper/ | 16:08 |

| snot | ikonia: so even though I go into the bios like menu for configuring raid devices and create a volumn by a given name and then later on activate that device using dmraid -ya... it's some sort of software raid? | 16:09 |

| ubottu | 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 | 16:32 |

| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||

| Shane|Work | unop: the ubuntu-minimal package gave me modprobe back | 16:33 |
| ikonia | hendra: if your not on an ipv6 network | 16:33 |
| BlueEagle | keneda: ubuntu uses gnome as it's default desktop. Kubuntu uses KDE and xubuntu uses xfce. As for edubuntu I'm not sure what's with it. For more information see ubuntu.org, kubuntu.org, xubuntu.org and edubuntu.org | 16:33 |

| KDB9000 | trilobit`, well like i said, i ran your commands on my laptop with a broadcom and nothing shows up | 16:34 |
| keneda | bleu --- simple english .. i'm still trying to learn the lingo | 16:34 |
| keneda | again please | 16:34 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih the one in your home dir is your personal one, the other is the host machine | 16:34 |
| BlueEagle | mib_b4blih: Both. ssh_host is the host key while id_rsa is the client key. | 16:34 |
| ikonia | hendra no - ubuntu has ipv6 modules installed by default | 16:34 |
| trilobit` | KDB9000: I'm sure it depends on the card as that's what I used to make mine functional. It was a HAL issue. | 16:34 |
| === kabtoffe_ is now known as kabtoffe | ||
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: So there are two sshds running: one for me and one for the host machine? | 16:35 |
| hendra | oh | 16:35 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: no | 16:35 |
| BlueEagle | mib_b4blih: ie. the client key is what you provide when accessing other ssh servers and the server key is what is used when others connect to your server. | 16:35 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: one damone | 16:35 |
| KDB9000 | trilobit`, i see, what was his issue (he left it looks like) | 16:35 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: multiple keys | 16:35 |

| Ward1983 | if i set my interfaces with /etc/networking/interfaces it doesnt work, and if i do it with ifconfig and iwconfig it does work, what can be my problem? i know the lines in /etc/networking/interfaces are all correct | 16:36 |
| trilobit` | KDB9000: Most probably the interface was not showing up at all. I would have gone first to update the pci database of periferics signatures (can't remember the command for that) and then getting a newer madwifi tarball. | 16:36 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: no and yes | 16:36 |
| tyberion | no other way? it says audi device is busy"( | 16:36 |

| tyberion | maniheer: nah not at all... but I had that problem several times now.. | 16:37 |
| tylrd | Ward1983--> did you ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 after you modified your interfaces file? | 16:37 |
| hendra | ??? | 16:38 |
| regeya | !ask | keneda | 16:38 |
| ubottu | keneda: 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. :-) | 16:38 |
| BlueEagle | Tundrayeti311: Sorry. I'm drawing blank on that log. :/ | 16:38 |
| Ward1983 | tylrd, i jsut rebooted to be sure | 16:38 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Will try to see if I can find the answer there | 16:38 |
| maniheer | tyberion, have u got more than one program trying to get to the audio | 16:38 |
| KDB9000 | trilobit`, with mine it was a case of the legacy drivers being used, just needed to update the firmware and used the new b34 driver and it works | 16:38 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih maybe easier to get a grips with the basics | 16:38 |
| tylrd | Ward1983--> and what happens after a reboot? | 16:38 |
| tyberion | maniheer: everything closed.. | 16:38 |
| KDB9000 | trilobit`, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy if you want to take a look | 16:38 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: But I thought a private key is like an "identity". How can a host be schizophrenic!! | 16:38 |
| keneda | ubuntu what is the difference between ubuntu - kubuntu-xubuntu-edubuntu | 16:38 |
| keneda | there | 16:38 |
| regeya | o/~ oh my bucket's got a hole in it o/~ | 16:39 |
| BlueEagle | keneda: Asked and answered. | 16:39 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih a private key is a per user key | 16:39 |
| Tundrayeti311 | BlueEagle: np :) ty for help | 16:39 |
| BlueEagle | keneda: ubuntu uses gnome as it's default desktop. Kubuntu uses KDE and xubuntu uses xfce. As for edubuntu I'm not sure what's with it. For more information see ubuntu.org, kubuntu.org, xubuntu.org and edubuntu.org | 16:39 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: so the server will authenticate the key on a per user basis | 16:39 |
| * regeya says "whoops, wrong channel, where's the cahnnel undo button" | 16:39 | |
| BlueEagle | Tundrayeti311: Wasn't much. :/ | 16:39 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: the host key is for host based authentication | 16:39 |
| keneda | ubuntu what is KDE ? | 16:39 |
| maniheer | ubuntu = gnome kubuntu=KDE xubuntu=XFCE edubuntu=gnome with school stuff | 16:39 |
| regeya | !kde | 16:39 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 16:39 |

| keneda | ubuntu what is xfce | 16:39 |
| DJones | !kde > keneda | 16:39 |
| ubottu | keneda, please see my private message | 16:39 |
| ikonia | keneda: you may do well to read http://www.ubuntu.com to udnerstand the basics | 16:39 |
| maniheer | !xfce | 16:39 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 16:39 |

| keneda | ooohhhh | 16:39 |
| keneda | now i'm learning | 16:39 |
| trilobit` | KDB9000: I'm sure it's different for athereos interfaces, for me it was AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 16:40 |
| keneda | desktop manager is also known as shell ??? | 16:40 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: So when I connect to the daemon somehow does it resolve the correct key through my username or hostname? | 16:40 |
| keneda | yes / no ? | 16:40 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: user | 16:40 |
| Pici | keneda: no. | 16:40 |
| keneda | ok | 16:40 |
| ikonia | keneda: read www.ubuntu.com to get an introduction to ubuntu | 16:40 |
| maniheer | keneda, desktop manager = wallpaper and maybe icons | 16:40 |
| Pici | keneda: The Desktop Manager is the graphical environment. | 16:40 |
| keneda | ahhhhh | 16:40 |
| InetKen | Is DVD burning broken in Hardy? | 16:41 |
| keneda | i was thinkin of that | 16:41 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: thats the one in ~/.ssh/id_rsa right? | 16:41 |
| KDB9000 | trilobit`, ya, just about every card manufacture will be different | 16:41 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih correct | 16:41 |
| BlueEagle | keneda: A desktop manager handles the window placement and decorations along with (in most cases) panels where clocks, menus and minimized windows are shown. | 16:41 |
| keneda | but different thing came out | 16:41 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih but thats your private key - not public key | 16:41 |
| hendra | Tried install KDE | 16:41 |
| hendra | My ubuntu become Kubuntu :D | 16:41 |
| maniheer | BlueEagle, thats a window manager | 16:41 |
| keneda | is red hat still the same as ubuntu | 16:41 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Yes. I know. | 16:41 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: So when does it use the private key in the /etc/ssh/ ? | 16:41 |
| maniheer | keneda, no, redhat is crap | 16:41 |
| keneda | i know ubuntu is linux | 16:41 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: The "host" private key | 16:42 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: thats not the private key | 16:42 |
| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: for host based authentication | 16:42 |
| BlueEagle | keneda: For example when you start windows the first explorer.exe instance acts as a desktop manager displaying icons and the start menu and the toolbar. | 16:42 |
| keneda | ok | 16:42 |
| keneda | so red hat is like dos or windows 3.1 | 16:42 |
| ikonia | keneda: no | 16:42 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Meaning which hosts to trust? | 16:42 |
| ikonia | keneda: ubuntu discussion only please | 16:42 |
| keneda | ok | 16:42 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: thats it | 16:42 |
| BlueEagle | keneda: Ahh, as maniheer correctly pointed out. The correct name for it is "window manager", not desktop manager as I said. | 16:42 |
| Pici | keneda: ##linux exists for general linux support. | 16:42 |
| keneda | just trying to figure out the evolution of linux | 16:42 |
| keneda | thats all | 16:43 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: But the file is between Begin & End Private Key markers | 16:43 |
| ikonia | keneda: read www.ubuntu.com for an overview | 16:43 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: the one in /etc/ssh | 16:43 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: yes, thats right | 16:43 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: it's a host based key | 16:43 |
| BlueEagle | keneda: Do you mind if I send you some private messages? | 16:43 |
| keneda | hit me | 16:43 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: Can you please be a little more clear on host based authentication? | 16:43 |

| emorris | hi, with zenity --list --checklist, is there a way to make the options selected by default? | 16:43 |

| sysdoc | Firefox in 2 x sessions gives the error "Firefox is already running...etc" Removing the .parentlock file allows it to open in both sessions, but only once. does anyone know how to remove this file permanently, because on open the file is recreated? Or is there a way to have the x session open a different profile? | 16:44 |
| ikonia | sysdoc rm the file | 16:44 |
| ikonia | sysdoc: it's in your home dir | 16:44 |
| mib_b4blih | ikonia: So how does the authentication work? The host based one. | 16:44 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih same as keys, your client has a key, the server has a key and you can say only authenticate X clients | 16:45 |
| InetKen | Brasero and K3b both fail and slowing writing down to 4x doesn't help. | 16:45 |
| ikonia | mib_b4blih: all covered in the link I sent you as this is nothing to do with ubuntu support | 16:45 |

| dugas | Hi everybody. | 16:59 |
| InetKen | UbuntuDrummerBoy, I normally use a separate box with Dan's Guardian. e.g. Ipcop firewall/content filter. | 16:59 |
| cheeky_ | morning i was curiouse if there is a text editor that can have its backgrough tranparents like how the terminal can become transparent, i use gedit to write my java code ; does anyone know if ged it or any other editor has that functionality? | 16:59 |
| InetKen | UbuntuDrummerBoy, you could also build a box with Ubuntu, Squid, Dan's Guardian | 17:00 |
| ikonia | cheeky_: eterm and standard gnome-terminal can be transparant | 17:00 |
| InetKen | UbuntuDrummerBoy, I only say this because it is memory hungry. | 17:00 |
| basso | Anyone used the Matrox Dualhead2GO on ubuntu? | 17:01 |
| dugas | hi, i have an ide hard drive, connected to my computer via usb; this hard drive is formatted as hfs+ and it is being detected in my logs, but i cant mount it. | 17:01 |
| biggerfisch | does anyone know where is the KDE4 config file is? I cant log in with kde4 because the desktop effects broke my desktop | 17:01 |
| cheeky_ | ikonia, yeah i know i have my terminal set up to be transparent but iam talking about gedit going transparent ? | 17:01 |
| ikonia | cheeky_ no it can't | 17:01 |
| UbuntuDrummerBoy | InetKen: right now I'm using Gentoo and is a pain to maintain. Single box. Want to install Kubuntu w/ the Edubuntu ed pacakage. but absolutely need content filtering over the internet just on that one box. | 17:02 |
| genii | dugas: hfsplus and hfsutils packages. You also need to load the kernel driver afterwards for it. | 17:03 |
| cheeky_ | ikonia, is there an editor that has such capability ?> | 17:03 |
| maquina17 | hi | 17:03 |
| dugas | genii, i have both of those installed, how do i load the kernel driver for it ? | 17:03 |
| InetKen | UbuntuDrummerBoy, there is a How-To for single desktop Dan's Guardian in the Ubuntu forums. | 17:03 |

| Vinay_ | hello all - in hardy, does gnome or kde desktop accept password for super user mode? They both seem to reject correct password. | 17:06 |
| cheeky_ | jim_p, true m8 but then again i would like my syntax highlighting and my tab scroll | 17:06 |
| Myrtti | Vinay_: there isn't supposed to be a superuser (ie. root) password | 17:06 |
| jim_p | cheeky_: gvim? | 17:07 |
| sempron | how can I login as root? | 17:07 |
| Myrtti | Vinay_: have you set up such in your system? | 17:07 |
| Myrtti | !root | sempron | 17:07 |
| ubottu | sempron: 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 | 17:07 |
| Vinay_ | Myrtti - I can login with ssh in root user | 17:07 |
| flourish | but the number of certain month is not fixed, so how can i implement it | 17:07 |
| flourish | ? | 17:07 |
| Myrtti | Vinay_: have you set up a password for root? | 17:07 |
| genii | Vinay_: Aside from the system itself having root locked out, X normally won't let you run as root anyways by default | 17:07 |
| Myrtti | Vinay_: there is no root password. | 17:07 |
| cheeky_ | jim_p, never heard of it .. have to let you know i am just starting out on linux so not that familiar with programs | 17:07 |
| jim_p | cheeky_: you can give it a change if you are good with vim | 17:08 |
| trilobit` | flourish: you already should have it there access.log and access.log1 right ? | 17:08 |
| keneda | nopes no one can advice ? hmmm wierd so many smart one but none can spare advice ... | 17:08 |
| keneda | >;-) | 17:08 |
| InetKen | Vinay_, ssh as user then sudo su - | 17:08 |

| LordKovu | I was wondering can I add debian repos to synaptic? I'm looking for an SMS gateway and I found one.. for debian. I figured, Ubunutu was debian based, however I don't know what version of debian .. | 18:03 |
| beautifulsnow | Hello, anyone know how to add WICD to start at boot? (daemon list) | 18:04 |
| jijutm | it was hardy server 64 bit .. | 18:04 |
| danbh_intrepid | LordKovu: thats supposed to be a very bad idea | 18:04 |
| hendrixski | I have a newer version of a program in a .deb in a repo (which I backported with prevu) but when I go to install it apt is still looking at the older version... how do I get apt to favor packages in my newer repo over other repo's? | 18:04 |
| _Zeus_ | LordKovu: bad idea | 18:04 |
| danbh_intrepid | LordKovu: I think its beyond dangerous, in that it is sure to mess up your system. If you want to take a risk, you could just try installing a single package, and see if it works... | 18:05 |
| trilobit` | hendrixski: _Zeus_: Could "alien" be used on debian native .deb packages ? | 18:05 |
| _Zeus_ | trilobit`: no idea | 18:05 |
| hendrixski | trilobit`: I suppose you could try... but it's not made for that... try dpkg -i instead | 18:05 |
| trilobit` | _Zeus_: what about the opposite... is it possible to get ubuntu .deb's into debian ? | 18:05 |

| Prez00 | i am on 8.04, how do i restart compiz? my widget screenlets are not showing up and restart all screenlets does not work, any suggestions? | 18:06 |
| trilobit` | Some distros claim that their .deb's are upstream debian compatible as well, namely Mepis Linux. | 18:06 |
| danbh_intrepid | LordKovu: what is an SMS gateway? | 18:06 |
| _Zeus_ | i think alien should work for both | 18:06 |
| erwin_ | danbh_intrepid: system that handles sms'es | 18:07 |
| hendrixski | trilobit`: .debs will work on any debian distribution | 18:07 |
| hendrixski | the problem is dependancies | 18:07 |

| trilobit` | hendrixski: that's what I thought too. Some extra work might be needed to indicate equivalents of packages between the debian-based-distro and debian itself. How hard would that be to do ? | 18:08 |
| erwin_ | danbh_intrepid: i think his looking for kannel :D | 18:08 |
| hendrixski | trilobit`: or you can backport the packages... using tools like prevu | 18:09 |
| trilobit` | hendrixski: oh, didn't know that. | 18:09 |
| hendrixski | :-) | 18:09 |
| hendrixski | I'm backporting right now actually | 18:09 |

| erwin_ | hi i'm using xvnc, does anybody know why upon connection, i'm greeted with only one terminal screen.. instead of my desktop? | 18:10 |
| outbackwifi | erwin_: in your startup script you should specify something other than xterm | 18:10 |
| hendrixski | I'm backporting trac-git from intrepid to Hardy... and I need it to prefer a newer package in a different repository than the one in the main repositor... how do I set apt to prefer the newer version? | 18:10 |

| Guiri | Is there a command that'll let me know if I setup the XvMC in my xorg correctly? I used the man page for the intel driver | 18:13 |
| Zappza | Yeah, I've understood that, but what is the correct root disk? I have only one harddrive in my laptop, and I have installed xubuntu to my usbstick, will the bootloader read the harddrive it starts from as hd(1,0)? | 18:13 |
| Prez00 | restarted compiz, did not help | 18:13 |

| kernando | how do i ping in ubuntu? | 18:41 |
| DigitalFiz | AJP, try changing the port see if your isp is blocking that port or they maybe even blocking p2p traffic period | 18:41 |
| rdx | Dillizar: Alt+F2 -> update-manager -d will let you update to the development release | 18:41 |
| outbackwifi | kernando: ping hostname (or ip address) | 18:41 |
| Cerberus_ | kernando: please prefix your replies with the persons name your repling to. Open a terminal from Applications - Accessories, then ping 192.168.0.9 | 18:41 |
| thibault | I want to now how I can get IP adresse of all stations wich are connected on my local network? | 18:41 |
| Kassah-lappy | outbackwifi, that would be nice... since I can proboly adapt it to disable just the touchpad when I figure out how | 18:41 |
| Cerberus_ | thibault: install nmap and do a ping scan | 18:42 |
| Technoviking | can someone send me a test /msg | 18:42 |

| outbackwifi | Kassah-lappy: oops toggle script is http://pastebin.com/f502b22f3 | 18:43 |
| rdx | Dillizar: I experience some trouble with the nm-applet (network manager) just disappearing. Works fine for me otherwise. | 18:44 |
| xbxbxb | outbackwifi: my network does not work anymore. eth0 and eth1 are down | 18:44 |
| thibault | Cerberus_ Thks | 18:44 |
| Cerberus_ | thibault: np. | 18:44 |
| xbxbxb | outbackwifi: I can't configure them because network tools says 'interface does not exist' | 18:44 |
| Kassah-lappy | outbackwifi, that looks slightly better ;) | 18:44 |
| outbackwifi | xbxbxb: do you have connections on both of them? | 18:44 |
| scampbell | xbxbxb: I would open a terminal and su - root then ifconfig -a to see if they are there to start. | 18:44 |
| kernando | Cerberus_ it gave me this output PING 192.168.0.109 (192.168.0.109) 56(84) bytes of data. | 18:44 |
| outbackwifi | Kassah-lappy: sorry | 18:44 |
| thibault | Cerberus_ : mmm Actually I get ping: unknown host scan | 18:44 |
| Skyrail | How can I get the terminal to open up in a certain folder when I click on a shortcut? What about running a certain command? I just want one for python development (opens up in my python folder), one for normal work, another for mysql, another for SSH etc. So instead of opening up a new blank console and typing in this each time it opens up the console with the command pre-run ready for me to enter in my password | 18:44 |
| Dillizar | rdx: ok i am upgradeing now :D are you saying that i might have problems with connecting to the internet? | 18:44 |
| xbxbxb | outbackwifi: just on one, but it worked 30 min ago | 18:44 |
| xbxbxb | scampbell: yes, they are there | 18:44 |
| Cerberus_ | kernando: did it say request timed out? | 18:44 |
| === GO is now known as Guest62358 | ||
| xbxbxb | scampbell: although they are missing in /etc/network/interfaces | 18:45 |
| xbxbxb | scampbell: I added them by hand | 18:45 |
| Cerberus_ | thibault: you should do: nmap -sP 192.168.0.* for example. | 18:45 |
| outbackwifi | xbxbxb: what does sudo ethtool eth0 tell you? (pastebinit if you must) | 18:45 |
| rdx | Dillizar: No, but the applet might crash (alt+f2 -> nm-applet to restart) | 18:45 |

| Cerberus_ | ollie: stop repeating. someone will answer if they know | 18:46 |
| xbxbxb | outbackwifi: I can't pastebin, since it's on the PC with no internet connection :( but the last line says "link detected: yes".. does that mean that the cable is connected? | 18:46 |
| outbackwifi | Kassah-lappy: tx i just copied and modified an existing script | 18:46 |
| outbackwifi | xbxbxb: yes | 18:46 |

| outbackwifi | Kassah-lappy: not at all go ahead | 18:47 |
| Kassah-lappy | cool =) | 18:47 |

| pronoy_ | how to uninstall wine ?? and then reinstall it ?? | 18:48 |
| Cerberus_ | kernando: that i'm not sure about, but maybe someone else in here could help you to figure out why the network manager isn't saving your settings. | 18:49 |

| souldier | how can i check the logs? | 19:10 |
| B3z3rk3r | hey outback | 19:10 |
| outbackwifi | B3z3rk3r: hi | 19:11 |
| Cerberus_ | techsupport: security = ads? hmm... well, are you on an active directory domain? if so i'm not sure. if not, change it to security = user (or = share) | 19:11 |
| souldier | outbackwifi: how can i check the logs? | 19:11 |
| outbackwifi | souldier: irclogs.ubuntu.com i think | 19:11 |
| techsupport | Cerberus_, yes i am on an active directory domain | 19:11 |

| Cerberus_ | techsupport: then i'm not sure to be honest. you could make your samba server be a stand alone server and not a part of the domain by changing the security setting | 19:12 |

| techsupport | Cerberus_, anything we could think about to actually keep the security = ADS but still get my to work ? | 19:14 |
| Cerberus_ | techsupport: personally no, i have no experience with such a configuration | 19:14 |
| trekok3 | are there problem with WIFI in ubuntu now? | 19:15 |
| gma_ | how do you get ubuntu to prompt you for sensible resolution and refresh rate in X? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only asks about my damned keyboard! | 19:15 |
| outbackwifi | gma_: system-->preferences-->screen resolution | 19:15 |
| Cerberus_ | gma_: System - Preferences - Screen Resolution | 19:15 |
| Cerberus_ | haha | 19:15 |
| outbackwifi | :p | 19:15 |
| Cerberus_ | ya beat me to it | 19:16 |
| outbackwifi | sorry | 19:16 |
| Cerberus_ | haha salright | 19:16 |
| trekok3 | what? | 19:16 |
| gma_ | I tried that, but it only offers me 60Hz. I know the card and monitor can do 85, as they were doing it a few hours ago before a heron upgrade | 19:16 |
| outbackwifi | trekok3: thats a very vague question. please state your problem | 19:16 |
| outbackwifi | gma_: try changing it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:16 |
| gma_ | (sorry, can't reply direct as your nick is black on black -- nicely higlighted irssi) | 19:17 |
| souldier | outbackwifi: where can i download the tightvncserver ? | 19:17 |
| gma_ | but I've tried that too. deleted a bunch of wanky modelines and similar | 19:17 |
| B3z3rk3r | gma_ anything higher than 70 is a waste tho? | 19:17 |
| outbackwifi | souldier: sudo apt-get instal tightvncserver | 19:17 |
| outbackwifi | souldier: sudo apt-get install tightvncserver | 19:17 |
| gma_ | no, my dad gets a headache if it's lower than 85 | 19:17 |
| gma_ | he's very sensitive to flicker | 19:18 |
| B3z3rk3r | or is it 60? i can never remember | 19:18 |
| Cerberus_ | the higher the better | 19:18 |
| B3z3rk3r | one of the two =p | 19:18 |
| gma_ | so is there no longer a console based config screen that prompts you for the resolution settings you want? | 19:18 |
| souldier | outbackwifi: couldnt find package | 19:18 |
| outbackwifi | gma_: hardy or intrepid? | 19:18 |

| atomekk | edlv: ahh sorry my fault s/dkpg/dpkg | 19:22 |
| gma_ | jperkins: have you had a look at the Modes setting in the Screens section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 19:22 |
| gma_ | jperkins: you will need one entry there for each resolution that you can switch into | 19:22 |
| gma_ | jperkins: if you start editing that file (manually or with a GUI) take a backup first. it can be a whores ass to get it right. | 19:23 |
| jperkins | gma_: there's nothing in there about custom resolutions | 19:23 |
| souldier | outbackwifi: already installed it, what do I do know? | 19:24 |
| gma_ | jperkins: what does it say next to Modes | 19:24 |
| gma_ | jperkins: ? | 19:24 |
| jperkins | umm one sec | 19:24 |
| outbackwifi | souldier: launch it by typing tightvncserver and following the prompts | 19:25 |
| souldier | outbackwifi: done | 19:25 |
| gma_ | is there a package with non free ati drivers in it? | 19:25 |

| [T]ank | whenever thunderbird maximizes it goes larger than my screen so that I cannot it the close button on the top right... how can I fix this? | 19:39 |
| rskumar_ | anabolix: after you cleaned the windows drive, you need to install windows on same,, dont touch the linux drive.. when windows isntalls, it will wipe the mbr and write only its entry.. then after installation is finished,. load the Ubuntu live cd, and in cmd do the grun install , read the grub man pages and other resources on internet and copy down the commands... and also beware about the Disk numbering in Grub, it starts with 0 while in linux it start | 19:39 |
| shearn89 | [T]ank: you can hold alt and left click to move the window | 19:39 |
| outbackwifi | souldier: vncserver -kill :2 | 19:40 |

| rskumar_ | outbackwifi: i did said, that doesnt contain the list of installed packages. why didnt you verified it. that contains those packages which were downloaded. Like if you did only download not intall option, then there is problem.. also, note that the default settings always deletes the old packages after some days, so your list wont be guarenteed ... | 19:42 |
| [T]ank | shearn89: no on the middle click to. | 19:43 |

| david_ | I am the only person who has access tomy computer and I want to enter a new user, is it easy to do? | 19:44 |

| david_ | shearn89 outbackwifi the problem is that I have lost my menu bars at top and bottom and the only access I have is to my terminal | 19:45 |
| david_ | what do I type in my terminal? | 19:45 |
| shearn89 | david_: its something like useradd. do "useradd --help" | 19:45 |
| mape2345 | I have a question: I have a ubuntu server and I have to administer it remotely. I use SCP to connect to it but I want to have full access to all files (I would use private key auth). How can I get full access to all files? I read on ubuntu site that enabling root user is very bad and so on. I don't have any other solutions | 19:46 |
| shearn89 | david_: you want to make sure you create a home directory for the new user. | 19:46 |
| david_ | shearn89 how do I do that? | 19:46 |
| hateball | mape2345: ssh in and go about your business as normal | 19:46 |
| shearn89 | rskumar_: np. I only recently discovered awk '{print $#}' - so useful. | 19:46 |
| hateball | mape2345: sudo and so on | 19:46 |
| Pici | david_: you should user adduser instead of useradd. | 19:46 |
| outbackwifi | mape2345: you need to connect to it using ssh and sudo | 19:46 |
| shearn89 | david_: hit alt-f2, type xterm, and then do "adduser --help" | 19:46 |
| outbackwifi | mape2345: and then scp from there | 19:46 |
| mape2345 | I use winscp and it doesn't allow any sudo's after login | 19:46 |
| hateball | mape2345: use putty | 19:47 |
| david_ | If I create a new user will the gnome come back with the menu bars at top and bottorm or will it be the same? | 19:47 |
| outbackwifi | mape2345: and pscp | 19:47 |

| Hilikus | does anyone know of a way to use MSN as a report system from ubuntu? either a bot thats always online or an app that logs in, sends the report and logs out?? | 19:47 |

| outbackwifi | ward_: what happened to wlan0 ? | 19:47 |

| ward_ | outbackwifi, it became wlan1 offcourse lol | 19:48 |
| outbackwifi | Hilikus: whats MSN? | 19:48 |

| MrKennie | Frijolie: you need to install the relevant *-dev packages | 19:57 |
| david_ | shearn89 then I wont reprogam!!! I am sure its a simple problem. I deleted some files last night and the menu bars aren't appearing and anything I minimize is lost of the screen so I cant recuperate. Im sure its something simple | 19:57 |
| Frijolie | MrKennie: how do you know what the relevant packages are? | 19:58 |
| david_ | Just a question of having the luck someone might be able to help me? | 19:58 |
| Pici | david_: What files did you delete? | 19:58 |
| shearn89 | david_: hmmm. You could try and find the recycle bin using the terminal. | 19:58 |
| MrKennie | Frijolie: use synaptics to search for them or use apt-cache search in a terminal | 19:59 |
| david_ | Pici I deleted Evolution mail, avidemus, pykaraoke, Opera, Epiphany and limewire | 19:59 |
| Pici | david_: How did you delete them? | 19:59 |
| MrKennie | Frijolie: I think you need libgnome2-dev in your case but that should give you a clue for any further requirments | 19:59 |
| ward_ | how can i keep the damn name of the wireless interface? :s | 19:59 |
| Frijolie | MrKennie: how do you know what *dev files I need to fix the error | 19:59 |
| ward_ | ffs this is annoying | 19:59 |
| david_ | Pici when I switched on the computer this morning I had no menu bars at the top or bottom of the screen. Without them I cant do anything as I have no access to Applications etc., | 20:00 |
| david_ | shearn89 how could I find the recycle bin? | 20:00 |

| shearn89 | !resetpanels | 20:01 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 20:01 |

| _21h_ | how to do this? | 20:13 |
| shearn89 | _21h_: not sure. have you tried google? | 20:13 |
| soundray | _21h_: check out gnokii | 20:13 |
| Myrtti | _21h_: opensync / multisync might do it | 20:14 |
| Slart | _21h_: try some of the mobile phone apps available.. yammu, gnokii, multisync and so on | 20:14 |
| _21h_ | soundray, gnokii have pipe to evo? | 20:14 |
| Freakin_Busy | hey, i want to make a stand alone web server to do many things. i want it to stream audio, host apache, host FTP, as well as host irc bots. Is the ubuntu server the right thing for this? | 20:14 |
| shamus | Distrobution upgrade is stuck on removing nvidia-kernel-common (unused package), would it kill my system to force quit the disto upgrade? | 20:14 |
| soundray | _21h_: I don't know, but you may need gnokii to communicate with it *at all* | 20:15 |
| shearn89 | Freakin_Busy: yep - there's an "install lamp" option which sets up a lamp server really easily. Then you can stick mt-daapd on it to stream music. | 20:15 |
| eTiger13 | http://wiki.gandi.net/en/hosting/using-linux/tutorials/ubuntu/virtualhosts on step2, why are there two directory folders? | 20:15 |
| Freakin_Busy | shamus, walk away for 10 mins and wait for it | 20:15 |

| Freakin_Busy | and the ftp and apache i can just add respectively? | 20:16 |
| shearn89 | Freakin_Busy: LAMP sets up apache, mysql, php. I'm sure you can then add the IRC and ftp bits. | 20:16 |
| souldier | can someone help me with a VNC related problem? | 20:16 |

| Freakin_Busy | shamus, if it's stuck you don't have much options do you? | 20:17 |
| shamus | Freakin_Busy, I suppose, but would it break my install? | 20:17 |
| Slart | _snoopin_: I think so, yes.. I don't think squid needs to be restarted. | 20:17 |
| Freakin_Busy | you'd have to do it again | 20:17 |
| ferronica | i can open and edit menu.lst without sudo ? | 20:17 |

| david_ | shearn89 This could be a solution which I will try, but the character which is a squiggly hyphen which is it? | 20:19 |
| shearn89 | souldier: don't you need to start X on the remote server? I've only just started using ssh, so i could be wrong. | 20:19 |
| _snoopin_ | could you please point me where to go to set the ebox to work with my squid? | 20:19 |
| shearn89 | david_: its a tilde - either above the hash on a gb keyboard, or sometimes in the top left of the keyboard. | 20:19 |
| ferronica | <Slart> dont know how, just double click then, click on display edit then save | 20:19 |
| shamus | shearn89: you wouldn't happen to know the name of the process, would you? | 20:20 |

| ferronica | <Slart> dont know whats going on, | 20:20 |

| Pici | ferronica: Open a terminal, type whoami and press enter. What does it say? | 20:20 |
| Slart | ferronica: the file menu.list is owned by root.. you need to run an editor as root.. or use sudoedit to edit it | 20:20 |
| david_ | shearn89 it isnt on my keyboard!! Any suggestions | 20:20 |
| Slart | ferronica: sorry.. menu.lst | 20:20 |
| shearn89 | david_: just replace it with "/home/<username>/" | 20:20 |

| _snoopin_ | what is the best soft ware for irc in ubuntu 8.04 | 20:21 |

| shamus | shearn89: synaptic | 20:21 |

| ActionParsni1 | !medibuntu > ActionParsnip | 20:23 |
| shearn89 | _snoopin_: yeah i think so. | 20:23 |

| ferronica | <Slart> Pici: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6077 2008-10-09 00:12 /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:23 |
| david_ | shearn89 what a nightmare! I typed in the first line gconftool--recursive.unset etc., and up came -bash no such file command | 20:23 |
| shearn89 | yash: ah okay - try starting in safe graphics mode. | 20:23 |
| x29a | ok, no feedback, fine, im concerned anyway, take care | 20:23 |
| yash | what do you want to know... | 20:23 |
| rockyrock | ActionParsni1: what do you mean by pdf printer? | 20:24 |
| ActionParsni1 | yash: try disabling acpi | 20:24 |
| Slart | rockyrock: I don't think there's anything in linux like acrobat.. but many programs can export to pdf.. openoffice and such | 20:24 |
| shearn89 | david_: ah okay. I found a simpler solution just now. hold onl. | 20:24 |
| _snoopin_ | danbh_intrepid: omg...i don't realize that. i only use pidgin to logini to my im such as yahoo and msn | 20:24 |
| ferronica | <Slart> no problem | 20:24 |
| ActionParsni1 | rockyrock: choose print and choose the pdf printer | 20:24 |
| david_ | shearn89 you really have patience, appreciated | 20:24 |
| ferronica | <Slart> Pici knows me :) | 20:24 |
| ActionParsni1 | rockyrock: it will write a pdf | 20:24 |
| jasuus | how do i unzip bziped files? | 20:24 |
| vallhalla81 | hi there i was installing ubuntu to a second drive and it seems to have mesed up my grub i am using live cd to talk now grub error is error15 can i fix this? | 20:24 |
| ActionParsni1 | jasuus: bunzip | 20:24 |
| Pici | ferronica: The permissions are not set correctly. sudo chmod 644 /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:24 |
| rockyrock | Slart, ActionParsni1: i want to scan them from my scanner | 20:24 |
| danbh_intrepid | _snoopin_: yeah, just go to accounts, and add an irc account | 20:24 |
| jgold | Why would the gimp have all its filters grayed out? Is there some extra package necessary? | 20:24 |
| shearn89 | david_: here you go: "cd ~/.gconf/apps" then "mv panel panel.old", then hit ctrl-alt-backspace. | 20:25 |
| yash | shearn89... my ubuntu installation starts... it says busybox installer... then it goes on listing some command lines... | 20:25 |
| ferronica | Pici: i think all permission granted :( | 20:25 |
| ichbinesderelch | vallhalla81: reinstalling grub would be easiest solution | 20:25 |
| ferronica | Pici: i think all permission granted :( | 20:25 |
| Pici | ferronica: yes, It shouln't be set like that. | 20:25 |
| _snoopin_ | thanks | 20:25 |
| shearn89 | yash: busybox? are you using ubuntu ultimate? | 20:25 |
| ActionParsni1 | rockyrock: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/scan-to-pdf-using-gscan2pdf-in-ubuntu.html | 20:25 |
| yash | tried even test cd and it goes the same | 20:25 |
| vallhalla81 | ichbinesderelch: how would i do that please? | 20:25 |
| ferronica | Pici: but i did nothing to permission | 20:25 |
| Pici | ferronica: It wouldn't do it on its own. | 20:25 |
| ferronica | Pici: should i run the above command | 20:25 |
| Pici | ferronica: yes. | 20:25 |
| yash | no the desktop edition | 20:25 |

| Slart | vallhalla81: grub errors often happens when grub can't find the boot devices/hard drives/partitions because something's changed since the install.. you can always reinstall grub.. check the forums.. there are lots and lots of threads about grub problems | 20:26 |
| david_ | shearn89 sounds difficult but will try and come back | 20:26 |
| shearn89 | david_: it should be fine. you're not deleting the panel file, just moving it. | 20:27 |
| yash | no shearn89... just says something like [ XXX.XXXX] XXXX XXXXXX { } frozen | 20:27 |
| yash | and then it goes and goes | 20:27 |
| david_ | shearn89 again no command found. | 20:27 |
| ferronica | Pici: did nothing happend :( | 20:27 |
| Tundrayeti311 | If I wanted to setup a master directory on a server, and be able to have clients sync up to directory only for old, missing, versions of files in this directory, where would I start? | 20:28 |
| shearn89 | david_: really?? you're just moving a file tho.. It must have the "mv" command. | 20:28 |
| Pici | ferronica: try modifying it without sudo now. | 20:28 |
| david_ | I think I am gonig to try and retrieve any files and reprogram, its incredibel such a simple fault that I have to go to this extreme no? | 20:28 |
| sudoconfused | cya david_ | 20:28 |
| ActionParsni1 | vallhalla81: you need to find out what the error means | 20:28 |
| yash | it does not work likde described in the support forum | 20:28 |
| shearn89 | david_: you're typing without the quotes yeah? | 20:28 |
| ActionParsni1 | vallhalla81: the fact that grub errors means its installed, just not configured right | 20:28 |
| yash | im a bit lost with the installer shearn89 | 20:28 |
| vallhalla81 | ActionParsni1: looking in to it now ty | 20:28 |
| shearn89 | yash: okay. When you put the cd in and reboot, try choosing "safe graphics mode" from the menu. | 20:29 |
| ferronica | Pici: without sudo i can modify :( | 20:29 |
| david_ | shearn89 I literally typed in cd~/.gconf/apps with no spaces and intro and up came no command found | 20:29 |
| shearn89 | david_: ah - you need a space between cd and ~ | 20:29 |
| Slart | Tundrayeti311: you want people to be able to download these files from some kind of server? | 20:29 |
| ActionParsni1 | vallhalla81: you probably need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to use correct devices and make sure /etc/fstab is mounting the drives properly | 20:29 |
| node357 | always mind the spaces david :) | 20:29 |
| shearn89 | david_: cd is the command and ~/etc the arguments. | 20:29 |
| Pici | ferronica: Thats odd. I need to run right now, perhaps someone else can help. | 20:29 |
| ferronica | Pici: student@student-desktop:~$ sudo chmod 644 /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:30 |

| cipherz | hello, I have made a persistent pendrive, it works great and all but, when I make changes such as add a user, it is added - but when I reboot it is gone | 20:30 |
| ActionParsni1 | asonge_: lenovo make goodubuntu fiendly systems | 20:30 |

| SurfnKid | it says it cannot mount volume, and the error message on the syslog is something about flush | 20:31 |

| ferronica | Pici: any idea whats going on ? | 20:31 |
| SurfnKid | can someone help me find out why on one computer it mounts, and on another computer the camera is turned on via usb and the system doesnt mount it? | 20:31 |
| Tundrayeti311 | slart: I want people to be able to update this directory on their machine w/o copying over the whole thing | 20:31 |
| Slart | Tundrayeti311: I would just put the files on some kind of ftp server/samba/nfs server.. doesn't really matter.. and then use rsync or similar from the clients | 20:31 |

| ActionParsni1 | asonge_: you could use bluetooth | 20:32 |
| asonge_ | ActionParsni1: not on the iphone afaik | 20:32 |
| shearn89 | david_: okay. close the terminal, then hit alt-f2, type "xterm" (without quotes), and then copy and paste the following: cd ~/.gconf/apps & mv panel panel.old & ls | 20:32 |
| ActionParsni1 | asonge_: ive no idea | 20:32 |
| Slart | kane77: boot from a live cd.. see if the home partition is still there | 20:32 |
| asonge_ | iphone bluetooth is neutered to all hell | 20:33 |
| david_ | shearn89 will try | 20:33 |

| chamuscas | hello, i have a problem with wine. When i execute an windows aplication my screen splits into two unfocased screens | 20:34 |
| ActionParsni1 | chamuscas: try #wine | 20:34 |
| genii | #winehq even | 20:34 |
| david_ | shearn89 it didnt work it said display isnt set so I cant move | 20:34 |
| ActionParsni1 | chamuscas: or see if there is a config you need to manipulate | 20:34 |
| ActionParsni1 | genii: that too | 20:34 |
| chamuscas | ActionParnsil, i already tried it and already read the ubuntu wine | 20:35 |
| david_ | shearn89 Think it will be easier to take out all my files to DVD and reinstall | 20:35 |
| chamuscas | ActionParsnil, i'll try those ones tank you :) | 20:35 |
| shearn89 | david_: no it should work. | 20:35 |
| ActionParsni1 | chamuscas: you could rename to ~/.wine folder then rerun, it will regenerate the folder | 20:35 |
| shearn89 | david_: try the commands individually: cd ~/.gconf/apps then mv panel panel.old then ls. | 20:35 |
| david_ | shearn89 but nothing happened after it said display isnt set | 20:35 |
| chamuscas | ActionParsnil, wait a config, i already tried it but =/ didn't find anything usefull | 20:35 |
| shearn89 | david_: ^^ | 20:35 |
| ActionParsni1 | chamuscas: does it do it with allapps? | 20:36 |
| bjytech | hey when I enable the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" driver after I re-boot all I get is a gray screen, any ideas? | 20:36 |
| david_ | shearn89 but when I type in cd etc., it says command not found | 20:36 |
| ActionParsni1 | bjytech: what nvidia do you have? | 20:36 |
| bjytech | 8600gt m | 20:36 |
| shearn89 | david_: you have to put the space between "cd" and "~/.gconf/apps" | 20:36 |
| ActionParsni1 | bjytech: try removing it then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 20:37 |
| chamuscas | ActionParsnil, are we talking about the same problem :p, it's like this when i use a windows program two overlapped screens appear | 20:37 |
| david_ | shearn89 I have tried that but still the same. Let's not waste anymore of your time... Thanks anyway | 20:37 |
| bjytech | ok | 20:37 |
| ActionParsni1 | bjytech: ive not set that card up myself | 20:37 |

| shearn89 | david_: good luck mate! i'd go for a reinstall. sounds totally screwed. | 20:37 |
| Bruce_Wayne | Slart: thanks | 20:38 |
| === bod_ is now known as Bodsda | ||
| shearn89 | Bruce_Wayne: do a google for "irssi autostart script" or something similar. | 20:38 |
| * shearn89 is going to get ready to go out. | 20:38 | |
| Slart | cd isn't an executable file.. it's not like you can loose it.. | 20:38 |

| Bruce_Wayne | Slart: how does one do a dcc file send thru irssi ? | 20:39 |
| jgold | Hello. I'm trying to use a blur filter with the gimp on Ubuntu 8.04, but all of the individual blur options (gaussian and so on) are grayed out. How can I fix that? | 20:39 |
| qb|work | /dcc i guess? | 20:39 |
| Slart | Bruce_Wayne: no idea.. haven't tried | 20:39 |
| MasterAslan | does anyone know how to enable channels 12-13 on wireless. Specifically with b43 drivers. | 20:39 |
| jgold | I've tried a few google searches on the topic but found nothing informative. | 20:39 |
| Tanalark | hi, all. | 20:40 |
| Tanalark | so.. .quick questions: | 20:40 |
| Slart | jgold: what kind of image are you editing? | 20:40 |
| jgold | It's an XCF. | 20:40 |
| Tanalark | how do I find out what kernel I'm using? | 20:40 |
| Bodsda | jgold, you may have more luck in #gimp | 20:40 |
| MasterAslan | Tanalark: uname -r | 20:40 |
| shearn89 | jgold: have you installed all the extras? | 20:40 |
| jgold | Bodsda: thanks. I'll try that. Though this doesn't seem to happen on Fedora. | 20:40 |
| Slart | jgold: not all filters are available for all formats.. ie 2 color black and white and so on | 20:40 |
| Tanalark | also, I'm working with an Intel Wireless Pro 3945 ABG card.. | 20:40 |
| jgold | shearn89: what extras? | 20:40 |
| jgold | shearn89: do I need some additional package? What's the name of it? | 20:41 |
| Tanalark | apparently Hardy stopped including the specific driver for that card, so I'm trying to find it. | 20:41 |
| jgold | What would have filters? | 20:41 |
| Mixed_--_ | anyone knows how to setup a file and printer sharing only to local IP's??? | 20:41 |
| Bodsda | jgold, it seems strange that the blurs are greyed out, heir standard so no extras needed afaik -- maybe try reinstalling gimp as a last resort | 20:41 |
| Bruce_Wayne | does anyone know how to dcc file send in irssi ? | 20:41 |
| Tanalark | I heard that iwlwifi is the thing to use, but I don't know how to find and install it. | 20:41 |
| jgold | Bodsda: okay, I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestions. | 20:41 |
| Slart | jgold: try just selecting new, template 640x480.. then see if blur is still disabled | 20:41 |
| Bodsda | no probs jgold :) | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | Bruce_Wayne: /dcc send nick file (or something like that) &help dcc has all the details | 20:41 |
| Tanalark | by the way, thanks, MasterAslan | 20:41 |
| MasterAslan | yw | 20:41 |
| Grenyaris | Running Ubuntu server, and I create a new user account with password, then login, and it tells me "no directory. logging in with home=/" SO what did I do wrong? | 20:42 |
| jgold | Slart: aha! It's not grayed out on that! That should enable me to work around the issue. Thank you! | 20:42 |
| [T]ank | what program handles a .uif extension? | 20:42 |
| Bodsda | Grenyaris, can you confirm the directory definately doesnt exist? | 20:42 |
| Slart | jgold: check colour depth, if you're using RGB and so on | 20:42 |
| greencookie | Where can I get a list of native ubuntu apps?(like xclock) | 20:42 |
| Bruce_Wayne | help dcc | 20:43 |
| jgold | Slart: will do. Thanks again. | 20:43 |
| Tanalark | ok.. so it looks like i'm using the 2.6.24-19 kernel... which is supposed to have iwlwifi drivers already installed. | 20:43 |
| Grenyaris | I didn't create the directory, and yes, it does not exist...I though it created everything on first login? | 20:43 |
| Sonderblade | is j2ee available as an ubuntu package? | 20:43 |
| Tanalark | but my wireless card is still going crazy. any ideas? | 20:43 |
| rockyrock | i can't update my system! I always get this error when i try to reload Synatpic list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/55393/ any ideas? | 20:43 |
| jgold | Slart: it's indexed color. That makes sense. | 20:44 |
| Slart | rockyrock: try using another mirror | 20:44 |
| Slart | jgold: yes.. that would make sense | 20:44 |
| MasterAslan | anyone know how to enable wireless channels 12 and 13? | 20:44 |
| stweston | hello, all. I'm having trouble installing Lynx on my Ubuntu Server install. | 20:44 |
| rockyrock | Slart: i dont want to do that! I have a slow internet! | 20:45 |
| kane77 | Slart, I'm back.. The problem seemed to fix itself.. I rebooted and booted into livecd, one of the disks was missing there, I turned off the computer and then turned it on and booted normal system and everything seems to be in order.. | 20:45 |
| rockyrock | Slart: i have Dialup | 20:45 |
| Slart | kane77: well.. let's blame .. eh.. solar flares then =) | 20:45 |
| rockyrock | Slart: do you have another solution? | 20:45 |
| stweston | anyone? | 20:45 |
| Bodsda | Grenyaris, yes it should -- not too sure hat the prob is -- have you tried creating the user again? | 20:45 |
| Slart | rockyrock: why would that keep you from changing mirrors? | 20:45 |
| Tanalark | anyone? | 20:46 |
| kane77 | Slart, hmm.. let's. It is very weird and I'm not sure if I should be worried about my disk.. What can I do to check it? | 20:46 |
| rockyrock | Slart: cuz the system will reload the source list again from start! | 20:46 |
| guntbert | Grenyaris: how did you create the new user? with adduser? | 20:46 |
| stweston | I need help installing Lynx on my Ubuntu Server installation. | 20:46 |
| stweston | can anyone help? | 20:46 |
| anders_ | isn't it in the repos ? | 20:47 |
| Slart | Tanalark: if you don't get an answer just repeat your questions every 10 minutes or so.. that will give newly arrived people a chance to see it.. just asking "anyone?" in this channel usually get drowned out.. noone wants to search for your last line to see what the actual problem was | 20:47 |
| anders_ | try sudo apt-get install lynx | 20:47 |
| stweston | I did | 20:47 |
| stweston | it doesn't work | 20:47 |
| anders_ | can you be more specific ? | 20:47 |
| stweston | I'm getting errors | 20:47 |
| serge | cwirc | 20:47 |
| Slart | kane77: you can use s.m.a.r.t if your disk supports it.. take a look at smartctl | 20:47 |
| stweston | saying "the package has no installation candidate" | 20:47 |
| greencookie | what program displays my computer information like memory usage and hdd space. something like the applet in fluxbox. | 20:47 |

| MasterAslan | pronoy_: sudo apt-get purge wine | 20:49 |
| rockyrock | Slart: i like Japanese servers they're very fast | 20:49 |

| Slart | greencookie: lshw is a terminal command for it.. there might be a gui tool too | 20:49 |
| mstrobert | Guest28212, go to the dir that you want to burn to CD. Then type: genisoimage -R -J . > /tmp/iso && wodim speed=8 /tmp/iso | 20:49 |
| MasterAslan | Tanalark: in what way is it going crazy? | 20:49 |
| Slart | rockyrock: then find another japanese mirror | 20:49 |
| rockyrock | Slart: :( | 20:50 |
| Tanalark | well, i'm able to use it right now. But periodically, it will just cut out. Usually right after I've started a package download or the like. | 20:50 |
| Tanalark | anything that requires any significant bandwidth | 20:50 |
| Guest28212 | mstrobert I dont have menu bars on the screen so can only use the terminal command. I wont be able to go to any director no? | 20:50 |
| MasterAslan | Tanalark: and it doesn't do this with windows? | 20:50 |
| Guest28212 | mstrobert after the prompt in the terminal I need to type in what command? | 20:51 |
| Tanalark | nope.. working just perfectly. | 20:51 |
| mstrobert | Guest28212, if you have a terminal open, you can change to any directory by typing: cd directorynameHere For example: cd /home/bob/Documents | 20:51 |
| Tanalark | never stopped working at all. | 20:51 |
| greencookie | what is a good resource manager for ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| mstrobert | Guest28212, then the command you type to burn that directory to CD is: genisoimage -R -J . > /tmp/iso && wodim speed=8 /tmp/iso | 20:51 |
| brian__ | Could someone answer what I hope is a quicky? I want to dual boot my machine with wubi. My question, is if I install 8.04, will I be able to do an upgrade within Ubuntu when 8.10 comes out, or would I have to reinstall completely? | 20:51 |
| MasterAslan | Tanalark: to be honest not really sure what to do. | 20:51 |
| MasterAslan | brian__: yes you will | 20:52 |

| Tanalark | I understand... do you have any idea where I might go for answers? I'm at the intellinuxwireless.org website, and they aren't very helpful. | 20:52 |
| Slart | brian__: these days you should be able to update to the next version when it comes out | 20:52 |

| guntbert | Grenyaris: yes, but 'cd' is sufficient as well, but it works only, when the homedir exists ;) | 20:59 |

| MetalHeadDead | how often is a new ubuntu released on disk? | 22:47 |
| albuntu | kingtekrin : as i sad you before use the live cd. install xp in your new partition and reinstall grub | 22:47 |
| MetalHeadDead | and do you have to have the disk, or can you just d/l the updates | 22:47 |
| danbh_intrepid | MetalHeadDead: every 6 months | 22:47 |
| albuntu | MetalHeadDead : 2 times a year | 22:47 |
| Gin | danbh_intrepid, copying file form that partition I only get 4MB/s | 22:47 |
| Dr_willis_ | MetalHeadDead, new release every 6 mo.. the 8.04.1 was a bit of an exception since its an LST release.. it wsa a updated in btweeen release | 22:47 |
| noobuntu | belkinhelp2: not sure if that new ufc firewall in ubuntu. if nmap shows ports not as open, may be a firewall on the windows machines. | 22:47 |
| BenB | albuntu: turns out ubuntu was at fault indeed: ubuntu uses apparmor by default. I never would have imagined that. | 22:47 |

| === Indoctrine is now known as Doc|Back2Bed | ||

| ubottu | MetalHeadDead, please see my private message | 22:48 |
| albuntu | BenB : maybe you installed apparmor without knowing. i had the same problem with apparmour for a port problem before. i didnt know that it can cause this kind of problem too | 22:48 |
| danbh_intrepid | Gin: is it ext3? | 22:49 |
| Gin | danbh_intrepid, it is ext3 | 22:49 |
| danbh_intrepid | Gin: mmmmmaybe it just the location on the platters? | 22:49 |
| Gin | danbh_intrepid, I had to delete files several times because I used that partition /home to 100% | 22:49 |
| BenB | albuntu, Dr_willis: possible that I installed apparmor without remembering. still, installing and having it activated for certain apps are very different things. it should not be *used* for mysql unless I tell it to. | 22:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | !!info apparmor | 22:50 |

Once connected, it's fast. All machines are behind the same physical router. Any ideas? | 23:21 |
| xomp | help, I can't install this theme I have, says it failed. I'm dragging the theme package "theme.tar.gz" to the "Appearance" window in Gnome and that's when I get the error. | 23:22 |
| dmsuperman | xomp: You're sure it's a gnome theme? | 23:22 |
| Dr_willis_ | xomp, uncompress the package to some other directory and look at whats in it.. it may be in nexted subdirs..or the wrong kind of theme file | 23:22 |
| xomp | dmsuperman, yah, got it from gnome-look.org | 23:22 |
| dmsuperman | xomp: More than just gnome themes are on gnome-look.org | 23:23 |
| dmsuperman | xomp: Emerald themes, for instance | 23:23 |
| drich0 | I'm running UbuntuStudio 8.04 and my backtick/tilde key only works if I press it twice. I have a Logitech Ultra-X keyboard. | 23:23 |
| xomp | dmsuperman, I'm aware of that, the theme I got is GTK2.x | 23:23 |
| nickrud | and not all the themes uploaded to gnome-look are even packaged right | 23:23 |
| JanHus | Dear Sirs | 23:23 |
| === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs | ||
| JanHus | Could I ask a question? | 23:23 |
| nickrud | JanHus, no need to ask to ask, just ask ;) | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis_ | JanHus, ask the actual question :) | 23:24 |
| md22 | is ubuntu good for someone who wants to learn to develop aps in Linux ? | 23:24 |
| nickrud | md22, yes, install build-essential for the basic compilation tools | 23:24 |
| xomp | Dr_willis_, when I extract the theme package there are several folders like 16x16, 48x48 etc. EXTRAS, scalable, index.theme. | 23:24 |
| JanHus | Hey, you are unbelievable!! | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis_ | md22, yes. about any linux fits that description. | 23:24 |
| K-Rich | Hi, anyone got a minute? | 23:24 |
| JanHus | Thank you! | 23:24 |
| md22 | ok nice | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis_ | xomp, looks like an icon theme package to me. | 23:25 |
| xomp | dr_Willis, ahh ok | 23:25 |
| JanHus | I use Adobe Pro and Abbyy FineReader for my e-documents | 23:25 |
| * midoi hi | 23:25 | |
| drich0 | I'm running UbuntuStudio 8.04 and my backtick/tilde key only works if I press it twice. I have a Logitech Ultra-X keyboard and my keyboard layout is set for that specific keyboard. Any ideas? | 23:26 |
| md22 | one other thing does ubuntu support hardware acceleration for ati cards (eg radeon hd 3850) | 23:26 |
| nickrud | md22, if ati adds it to their non-free driver, ubuntu can use it | 23:26 |
| JanHus | my prime languages are Greek and English. Are there any Linux programmes that are doing the same? | 23:26 |
| HemeAtWork | Why would files not show up in Gedits file browser plugin? | 23:26 |
| f|uke | Whats a solid FTP server ? | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis_ | !ftp | 23:27 |
| ubottu | FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd | 23:27 |
| nickrud | JanHus, I've been able to read just about any pdf (haven't looked in greek, but it supports utf8) in evince | 23:27 |
| Dedi | anyone knows another wysiwyg editor? (kompozer just crashes all the time, oo writer cant handle images sizes) | 23:27 |

| pen | anyone using google notebook extension in firefox? | 23:28 |
| JanHus | nickrud, to read ok but to OCR? | 23:28 |
| xiamx | nice .. bot... | 23:28 |
| pen | why does it refresh the page when I open the pop-up | 23:28 |
| drich0 | f|uke: I usually use pureftpd | 23:28 |
| K-Rich | I changed my workgroup using shares-admin (this also changes /etc/samba/smb.conf on the workgroup line. after a reboot i am in the correct workgroup, but i now have an icon for the other workgroup (in Places > Network > Windows Shares) This workgroup doesn't exist, how do i remove the icon? | 23:28 |
| f|uke | Thanks drich0. Does it have a GUI? Secure and functional? | 23:29 |
| xiamx | drich0: me 2 lol | 23:29 |
| attickid | pen: me | 23:29 |
| xiamx | f|uke: if you want a gui, webmin is good for all server configuration | 23:29 |
| f|uke | ah, solid. | 23:29 |
| drich0 | f|uke: I haven't gotten into the config too much. Generally just load it up and use it on my LAN | 23:29 |
| nickrud | JanHus, ocr is not something I've used in linux myself. I haven't heard good things, either: but I don't want to spread fud so I'll say my knowledge there is sadly lacking | 23:29 |
| pen | attickid, do you know how to solve the bug for google notebook extension? | 23:29 |
| f|uke | Right. I just want to access my desktop from anywhere. | 23:30 |
| K-Rich | f|uke: vnc? | 23:30 |
| JanHus | nickrud, who else could help me? | 23:30 |
| f|uke | Already set up,. vnc through ssh.. but I want to retrieve files | 23:30 |
| drich0 | JanHus: For OCR, I've used gocr with some success, might be worth a try | 23:30 |
| nickrud | JanHus, ask here about every 10 minutes or so. Probably within the hour someone who uses ocr will pass thru | 23:31 |
| basti | f|uke, scp | 23:31 |
| xiamx | f|uke: ssh + tftp | 23:31 |
| f|uke | I will look into both of those ;) | 23:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | ssh is our friend.. down with ftp | 23:31 |
| nickrud | scp !!! | 23:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | if you have ssh setup.. dont bother with ftp | 23:31 |
| f|uke | Gotcha. scp. I'll read up on it. Cheers | 23:32 |
| attickid | pen: what bug are you talking about? | 23:32 |
| nickrud | or connect your file browser to the remote machine so you can drag & drop | 23:32 |
| nickrud | *through ssh | 23:32 |
| Gin | my system is so much faster :-) | 23:32 |
| f|uke | nickrud, can you give me a clue on where to start with that? | 23:33 |
| nickrud | f|uke, places->connect to server | 23:33 |
| xiamx | Anyone knows why when i try to login from ssh, the delay between enter username & password is so long? | 23:33 |
| DigitalFiz | local network? | 23:34 |
| f|uke | oh. wow.thats easy O.o | 23:34 |
| xiamx | yes | 23:34 |
| xiamx | i also tried to connect gentoo, was much faster | 23:34 |
| nickrud | f|uke, pretty nice: the remote server will show up in the file select dialog and everything. Very nice for quick work on a remote web site | 23:34 |
| DigitalFiz | its trying to resolve your local ip which is cant there is a setting in the sshd_config to not try and resolve hosts | 23:34 |
| pen | attickid, when you want to open notebook from the statusbar the page will refresh | 23:34 |
| xiamx | how can i set that config in sshd_config? | 23:35 |
| DigitalFiz | edit it? | 23:35 |
| f|uke | Thanks nickrud :) | 23:35 |
| xiamx | DigitalFiz, where is the config file? | 23:35 |
| DigitalFiz | use locate to find it | 23:36 |
| nickrud | f|uke, one more thing: make a bookmark of it, so you can reopen conviently | 23:36 |
| Bobbob | Anyone able to help me get my USB RF Mouse working? It is definately not plugging and playing... | 23:36 |
| attickid | pen: I dont have such bug | 23:36 |
| attickid | pen: maybe you gotta ask in the googlewebsite | 23:36 |
| xiamx | DigitalFiz, is sshd_config the file name? | 23:36 |
| DigitalFiz | xiamx, yes | 23:36 |
| pen | attickid, are you using firefox2? | 23:36 |
| drich0 | xiamx: /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis_ | its worth reading a few ssh docs :) | 23:36 |
| Mo9a7i | Hi there , what's the best release of ubuntu is best for my INSPIRON 1520 core2duo , (Standard or 64 bit) ? | 23:36 |

| xiamx | drich0, thanks | 23:36 |
| Bobbob | I assume I have to modify my xorg.conf but I'm not sure what I actually need to do and I can't find a tutorial on the forums | 23:37 |
| xiamx | DigitalFiz, thanks too | 23:37 |
| f|uke | holy crap. root access just like that o.o | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis_ | Mo9a7i, how muych ram. - i alwyas use 32bit distros.. | 23:37 |
| Mo9a7i | 2 GBs | 23:37 |
| nickrud | nah, much more fun to muck around with config files blindly :) | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis_ | Mo9a7i, i would stick with the 32bit then. | 23:37 |
| Mo9a7i | Dr_willis_ , thank you :) i'll start downloading and installing | 23:37 |

| Bobbob | Anyone able to help me get my USB RF Mouse working? It seems to be detected, but it doesn't function... | 23:38 |
| PicciCore | lol | 23:38 |
| nickrud | Bobbob, first thing, make sure it's being recognized as hardware: unplug it, and in a terminal type tail -f /var/log/syslog , then plug it in. The terminal will show a series of messages, hopefully saying it was recognized by the kernel | 23:38 |
| drich0 | My backtick/tilde key only works if I hit it twice (not a dirty/sticky key -- consistently works if i hit it twice). any ideas? | 23:38 |
| _Zeus_ | it's broken? | 23:39 |
| drich0 | don't think so | 23:39 |
| _Zeus_ | get another keyboard? | 23:39 |
| drich0 | otherwise i would think it wouldn't work consistently with two presses | 23:39 |
| LjL | drich0: you're using an international layout | 23:39 |
| drich0 | LjL: no | 23:39 |
| LjL | _Zeus_, give advice if you know what you're talking about... | 23:39 |
| drich0 | i set the keyboard layout to the specific kb | 23:39 |
| LjL | drich0: try hitting it and then hitting Space | 23:39 |
| _Zeus_ | LjL: thanks, but i don't need your sarcasm | 23:40 |
| drich0 | LjL: yes, that works | 23:40 |
| LjL | _Zeus_: and he doesn't need your nonsensical advice | 23:40 |
| K-Rich | Can anyone help me with a networking issue? | 23:40 |
| Bobbob | okay, stuff definatly happened when I plugged it in | 23:40 |
| LjL | drich0: you're using an international layout - i insist | 23:40 |
| LjL | drich0: like US International, if you're in the US | 23:40 |

| LjL | drich0: try hitting it and then hitting the letter "n" - you'll probably see what this is about | 23:40 |

| drich0 | LjL: I hit backtick then "n", nothing | 23:41 |
| _Zeus_ | LjL: what do you mean kidding? i wasn't | 23:41 |
| nickrud | Bobbob, did it say all good? Like a driver got loaded, etc? | 23:41 |
| LjL | drinci meant tilde, not backtick. anyway you can also try backtick and then "a" | 23:41 |
| pen | attickid, so? | 23:41 |

| drich0 | LjL: How do I turn off the international layout? | 23:43 |
| LjL | drich0: precisely. what's happening is that you have a keyboard layout that uses "combining" characters: if you hit ~ and then "n", you get ñ. if you hit ` and then "a", you get à. and several other combinations | 23:43 |
| Dr_willis_ | !cron | 23:43 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 23:43 |

| pen | attickid, ubuntu8.04? | 23:46 |
| LjL | drich0: i can't find it precisely, as i don't have a US keyboard myself... but i really think it's a matter of selecting "US" instead of "US Intl", or instead of "US with dead keys", though i can only guess | 23:46 |
| drich0 | LjL: Got it. Thanks a million. That was driving me nuts. I looks like 'USA International (with dead keys)' was set up instead of 'USA (Default)' | 23:47 |
