| winrid | when i turn on my pc, i just get "GRUB" | 00:01 |
| dulakian | carrera: if you are buying drives and the marketing message matters, you are not the person who should be buying drives | 00:01 |
| winrid | I CAN'T BOOT | 00:01 |

| DasEi | Dreamglider zero, not o | 00:06 |
| ShiftyPowers | dulakian, growing is fine, just want to make sure that it can be done | 00:06 |

| KenBW2 | winrid: paste /boot/grub/menu.lst into www.nomorepasting.com | 00:06 |

| ShiftyPowers | this wouldn't be adding new drives | 00:07 |
| f|uke | Will we be able to upgrade to intrepid? Or will that break stuff | 00:07 |
| ShiftyPowers | dulakian, it would be increasing the partition that was used to create the array | 00:07 |

| LjL | runemaste644: it won't mess up... but it's seriously easier to just install kubuntu-desktop. that also makes it very much easier if you want to remove it later | 00:18 |
| compengi | LjL, ctrl+alt+backspace would restart it, won't it? i think /etc/init.d/gdm stop after ctrl+alt+f1 would stop it | 00:18 |
| KenBW2 | winrid: look under /boot/grub/menu.lst on the memory stick | 00:18 |
| danopia | Hi. | 00:18 |
| winrid | ohh | 00:18 |
| LjL | compengi: no, ctrl+alt+backspace *closes* the X server. then if there's something (like a display manager) that wants to restart it as soon as it sees it being closed, that's another matter | 00:19 |
| winrid | KenBW2: That is the /boot/grub/menu.list on the memory stick :| | 00:19 |

| KenBW2 | dulakian: are you sure you can fit xubuntu in 1GB? | 00:26 |
| Dreamglider | DasEi, sure thing | 00:26 |
| dulakian | You just don't do the default install, and leave off all the crap you won't use | 00:26 |

| dulakian | winrid: you can get really really stripped down using server and installing fluxbox | 00:27 |
| gregbrady | I used to know a good audio stream capture program but I've forgotten it. It used to be able to get streaming radio stations from shoutcast and save the songs by artist and title. Anyone know of a program like that. IT was a very simple program. | 00:27 |
| dulakian | winrid: you can get a system down to like 550-600megs easy that way | 00:27 |
| Danskmand | Sorrry :-) | 00:28 |

| dulakian | winrid: I wish I could help but I have never had good luck with usb booting, I usually just get frustrated and dd a copy drive to drive using my workstation | 00:29 |
| Danskmand | The directory /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server has a link thats called Makefile: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2008-10-14 12:11 Makefile -> ../linux-headers-2.6.24-19/Makefile | 00:29 |
| gecko_ | kitche: ok, i'll give it a try, never done this before.. | 00:29 |
| winrid | dulakian: what is a copy drive? | 00:30 |
| postersanguitar | An out of control driver updater somehow removed massive amounts of sofware. I'm not entirely sure what they were. | 00:30 |
| Danskmand | So it looks like its referencing to itself.....Is that ok ? | 00:30 |
| winrid | dulakian: does that mean that my usb would be exactly like my desktop? | 00:30 |
| dulakian | winrid: where you install into a partition that is the same size as your target then dd it over to the target | 00:30 |
| dulakian | winrid: dd is a direct data copy, byte for byte copy | 00:30 |
| winrid | dulakian: sweet. So, if i install dsl on an old hdd, and dd it over to my pendrive, it's work? | 00:31 |
| dulakian | winrid: but it probalby won't help you since it's booting usb you are having problems with | 00:31 |
| postersanguitar | I need to figure out exactly what damage an out of control driver updater did. Is there a way to look a t alog of actions by prgrams? | 00:31 |
| dulakian | winrid: you still have to get grub on the pen drive and configured right | 00:31 |
| Schuenemann | dulakian, so dd can copy a write protected disk? | 00:31 |
| winrid | dulakian:Its a grub problem. It never happened before. Plus, this isnt even my pc :) | 00:31 |
| Schuenemann | like a cd or dvd with those silly copy protections | 00:31 |
| dulakian | Schuenemann: can copy from a write protected disk yes | 00:32 |
| postersanguitar | I think it removed some pretty important things. | 00:32 |
| winrid | dulakian: would you like to see my grub? | 00:32 |
| Schuenemann | hmmm nice | 00:32 |
| postersanguitar | What should I do? | 00:32 |
| dulakian | winrid: you can show me but like I said I never have good luck with usb | 00:32 |
| Schuenemann | postersanguitar, you should describe the important things | 00:32 |
| gecko_ | kitche: ok, found the nvidia stuff.. and it's marked as driver.. what do i need to do with this? i think i'm a little confused on this part. | 00:32 |

| techsupport | hi. question. i get network drive is no longer available error , but only when copying large files with drive that i shared with samba | 00:36 |
| postersanguitar | Schuenemann: What I'm worried about are the things I didn't get the names of | 00:36 |
| winrid | no, they are there | 00:36 |
| dulakian | winrid: so it gets grub up, but doesn't have the files it needs to go further | 00:36 |

| winrid | dulakian: correct, but stage 1 and 2 are there. so are some othere | 00:37 |

| draeath | Anyone know a good way to back up my installed packages list and statuses in such a way that, on reinstall, I can easily install everything and keep package status (ie, auto-install vs install) | 00:48 |

| Parabola | if you got an updated package ferom the REPOS then you're screwed and will have to manually do it | 00:49 |

| Danskmand | Soundray: No, this is for the Fritzcard-driver....The capisuite I allready installed with apt-get....(why isnt there any for the fritzcard ?) | 00:55 |
| millertime_018 | how come ubuntu can't copy as fast as windows? | 00:55 |

| airdogg | er partition type | 00:56 |
| soundray | Danskmand: you should reboot after install linux-restricted-modules. When you've done that, capisuite should work. | 00:56 |
| Parabola | KenBW2 if you don't have SP1 on your vista box then yes it would | 00:56 |
| millertime_018 | you mean the partition on the external drive? ntfs | 00:56 |
| Parabola | KenBW2 SP1 fixed the copying performance issues | 00:56 |
| millertime_018 | i believe... | 00:56 |

| ink1 | garutachi: EnvyNG usues much more recent drivers, and does most the work for you | 01:09 |
| garutachi | EnvyNG ? what exactly is that? | 01:09 |
| ink1 | garutachi: EnvyNG is an app written in Python that dls and installs the LATEST drivers | 01:09 |
| ink1 | the restricted ones are quite old | 01:09 |
| mroc | ok. so. i'm working on a system that's returning Error Code 0F00:0244 "Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected." using the dell provided utility. it's a dual boot xp and ubuntu machine. i deleted the linux partition and that's just unpartitioned space at the moment. is there any way this is *not* a mechanical issue? | 01:10 |
| garutachi | I think this ati mobility is an older card. Not 9xxx series, is that a prob? | 01:10 |

| Mecha25 | !virus | 01:19 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:19 |
| soreau | garutachi: The alternative is to download the ati driver installer for your card from ati.com and install manually following this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Manual_Method_.28installing_Catalyst_8.8_or_8.9.29 | 01:20 |
| Craighghney | has anyone had experiences with any linux virus or malware AT ALL? i download torrents heavily | 01:20 |
| Mecha25 | Craighghney: I can guarantee you no | 01:20 |
| CorbinFox | is there a way to get a control panel on my desktop to control Amarok? play/pause, stop, forward/back, etc, all on a desktop panel? | 01:20 |
| the_dude | soreau, just installed the nvidia driver wait a sec ill restart the pc | 01:20 |
| RHorse | Craighghney, I have never gotten *anything* in two years. But I use a wireless router. | 01:21 |
| mroc | garutachi: maybe someone asked you this already...are you running 8.04 or 8.10? | 01:21 |
| Mecha25 | CorbinFox: yes, there's a pannel applet you can get from Synaptic | 01:21 |
| Baryon | Mecha25: I don't know that package. Do you know ftp? | 01:21 |
| luite | Craighghney: with linux, you don't get malware by downloadng torrents but by installing an old phpbb version, or running an old bind, sendmail or openssh daemon | 01:21 |
| Craighghney | what difference does a wireless router make, may i ask | 01:21 |
| jrib | Craighghney: that article just says you may pass on windows viruses to windows users if you don't scan files. Anyway, most webmail scans attachements anyway | 01:21 |
| Mecha25 | Baryon: sorta, can I setup FTP on a remote box through terminal without root access? | 01:22 |
| CorbinFox | Mecha25: would you know the name? or would it be posted somewhere i can look for it myself | 01:22 |
| Baryon | Craighgney: Take Mecha25 up on his guarantee. But get it in writing :^) | 01:22 |
| Craighghney | it says over 500 viruses exist for linux | 01:22 |
| Mecha25 | CorbinFox: search for Music Panel | 01:22 |
| Parabola | theclaw | 01:22 |
| Parabola | oh he left | 01:22 |
| Parabola | if the_dude comes back, he needs to install proper video drivers | 01:22 |
| Mecha25 | Craighghney: yeah, proof of concepts, none of which actually work/have been released | 01:22 |
| Parabola | hes using VESA or somthin | 01:22 |
| gecko_ | really stupid question to most im sure, but i really dont know.... need to add my reseloution somewhere in here http://paste.ubuntu.com/57655/ not only do i not know where, but how to either... | 01:22 |
| Mecha25 | Craighghney: there's several million (in comparison) in the wild for Windows | 01:23 |
| bobertdos | Craighghney: and that is really the main reason for AV in Linux, is to safeguard your Windows users. Otherwise, it's just like anything else, the same good security habits that apply to Windows apply to any computer system. | 01:23 |
| KenBW2 | Mecha25: am i right in thinking a virus is the same as an application, only with malicious intent? | 01:23 |
| garutachi | The package I installed was fglrx-control | 01:23 |
| jrib | KenBW2: virus implies it spreads | 01:23 |
| Craighghney | how about for malware? | 01:23 |
| luite | Craighghney: most of those probably are not actually viruses, but maybe exploits, or root kits | 01:23 |
| Mecha25 | KenBW2: there's malicious applications, sure, rm can be malicious if you use it wrong | 01:23 |
| Parabola | Craighghney your best bet is to use an appliance | 01:23 |
| Parabola | Craighghney of setup PFsense, or untangle | 01:24 |
| KenBW2 | Mecha25: ergo a proof of concept is meaningless | 01:24 |
| Craighghney | like a toaster? | 01:24 |
| Parabola | and have it do that for you | 01:24 |
| Mecha25 | Craighghney: the short answer is: "no" to any spyware/virus/malware concerns | 01:24 |
| netsurf3 | can someone help me pidgin has just become an unkillable process (even with kill -9) | 01:24 |
| Parabola | Craighghney yes like a toaster. | 01:24 |
| mroc | garutachi: are you running 8.04 or 8.10? | 01:24 |
| jrib | netsurf3: reboot? | 01:24 |
| garutachi | 8.04 | 01:24 |
| Mecha25 | netsurf3: killall pidgin | 01:24 |
| netsurf3 | Mecha25, i tried killall -9 pidgin | 01:24 |
| netsurf3 | it wount die | 01:24 |
| netsurf3 | at all | 01:24 |
| Craighghney | you said there were rootkit concerns? | 01:25 |
| Mecha25 | netsurf3: I've had that happen, log out and back in again | 01:25 |
| Mecha25 | Craighghney: no | 01:25 |
| Craighghney | there are no security concerns whatsoever becides the normal internet concerns? | 01:25 |
| jrib | Craighghney: the biggest security in ubuntu is that you install software from the repositories. Of course if you go around executing random files you find on the internet you expose yourself | 01:25 |
| Mecha25 | Craighghney: pretty much, unless you're testing Proof of Concept viruses, which is dumb on any OS | 01:26 |
| Craighghney | what about third party repositories? | 01:26 |
| CorbinFox | Mecha25: it doesnt appear to support amarok, is there something im missing? | 01:26 |
| jrib | Craighghney: you are *trusting* them | 01:26 |
| Parabola | Craighghney not in a prod enviroment | 01:26 |
| Mecha25 | Craighghney: if they're infected, they won't stay up, usually | 01:26 |
| Aggrav8d | hi! I've asked in apache but no response: i have many virtual hosts. reverb-marketing.com is pulling up the abcd. subdomain when it should be pulling up www. subdomain. anyone know why? | 01:26 |
| Parabola | you shouldnt | 01:26 |
| Craighghney | prod? | 01:26 |
| Parabola | production | 01:26 |
| ericjung | is there any other way to determine if a USB device is recognized besides lsusb? | 01:27 |
| Mecha25 | CorbinFox: possibly, I don't use amarok, I just know that app exists and supports a few players. I use banshee, and media keys | 01:27 |
| Parabola | if you're using a box in PROD you dont want to have third party repos in there | 01:27 |
| Craighghney | what is a production environment? | 01:27 |
| isilion | hi again. EnvyNG installed the drivers, but troubleshooting continues. display freezes launching whatever 3d application. i got a radeon 9800 pro, just bought today | 01:27 |

| sceo | jrib thanks i'll see | 01:29 |
| the_dude | im fixing iut | 01:29 |
| soundray | Danskmand: glad I could help a bit. Don't feel stupid -- Ubuntu takes a bit of getting used to. | 01:29 |
| the_dude | Thx for hep guys, see ya! | 01:29 |
| dli | bobertdos, thanks, I wonder whether I should upgrade now, I think I need better xrandr support from X 7.4 | 01:29 |
| sam555 | is there a way to get to the paritioner within Ubuntu, or do I need to use the cd? | 01:29 |
| Parabola | Craighney watch out dude, you might get ms.blaster | 01:29 |
| soreau | tdawgedogg: You might try simply reinstalling your drivers | 01:29 |
| tdawgedogg | 01:29 | |
| tdawgedogg | BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card | 01:29 |

| melwtech35 | make file error anyone? i have pasted the error, http://paste.ubuntu.com/57651/ any ideas? | 01:29 |
| tdawgedogg | how? | 01:29 |
| isilion | hi again. EnvyNG installed the drivers, but troubleshooting continues. display freezes launching whatever 3d application. i got a radeon 9800 pro, just bought today | 01:29 |
| Mecha25 | sam555: yes, but you can't change the partitions while they're in use | 01:29 |
| Craighney | ms.blaster | 01:29 |
| tdawgedogg | soreau: i have envy | 01:29 |
| sam555 | Mecha25: I think I got it | 01:29 |
| Parabola | Craighney yep | 01:30 |
| ericjung | how? | 01:30 |
| dli | sam555, gparted should do it | 01:30 |
| sam555 | Mecha25: I'm gonna boot to the cd and use manual to partition the one I need to get to | 01:30 |
| Danskmand | soundray: How could I have found out that it was allready installed ? | 01:30 |
| Parabola | isilion 9800 doesnt work well with Linux | 01:30 |
| Parabola | i know, i had one for 4 years | 01:30 |
| genii | melwtech35: sudo make install | 01:30 |
| soreau | tdawgedogg: That sucks. envy could have already caused irreversible damage :/ | 01:30 |
| Parabola | the version of xorg matters | 01:30 |
| tdawgedogg | lol na...ive used it before and everything worked | 01:30 |
| Parabola | half the shit you try to do will freeze | 01:30 |
| sam555 | dli: for furture reference, how do I get to gparted in the gui? | 01:30 |
| isilion | o.Ô | 01:30 |
| bobertdos | dli: I wouldn't recommend it. The Beta IS getting pretty stable, but I'd be apprehensive to try any advanced X footwork with it yet. | 01:30 |
| ericjung | can anyone recommend a good, free multiplayer game for ubuntu? | 01:31 |
| isilion | there is nothing i can do? | 01:31 |
| tdawgedogg | how do i download nvidia drivers then soreau? | 01:31 |
| tdawgedogg | are they in the respitories | 01:31 |
| soreau | tdawgedogg: I don't know how envy works, or what it may have already done so I can't say :P | 01:31 |
| dli | sam555, check your menu, I just use command: gparted to launch it | 01:31 |
| genii | ericjung: Americas Army, OpenArena | 01:31 |
| garutachi | i'm downloading that ati installer now for the manual install..... | 01:31 |
| tdawgedogg | well where do i get nivida drivers | 01:31 |
| ericjung | genii: thanks! | 01:31 |
| soreau | tdawgedogg: But since your drivers aren't installed correctly, you need to figure out a way to reinstall them | 01:32 |
| sam555 | dli: that's what I thought, mahalo! | 01:32 |
| genii | ericjung: np | 01:32 |
| sceo | jrib - so if I don't need to boot the live CD can I follow some of these directions without? | 01:33 |
| tyso1 | does anyone have a suggestion for a chat program aside from pidgin that allows the user to customize the look of the windows and also works with multiple accounts? | 01:33 |
| corinth | Are there any drawbacks from switching from ext3 to jfs? | 01:33 |
| melwtech35 | genii, thats what i tried | 01:33 |
| jrib | sceo: yeah | 01:33 |
| soreau | garutachi: Make sure to read that entire guide, especially the part about DISABLED_MODULES, since it can be a tad bit confusing | 01:33 |
| the_dude | soreau, yeah man, it works with the graphic card, but i dont know what happened man... | 01:33 |
| enigmaingr | hello | 01:33 |
| dli | corinth, ext3 is the default, jfs doesn't shrink, if you ever want to resize it | 01:33 |
| * rocknlnx I have a program I downloaded on my desktop call ddnsd. It is a Linux exe. file. How to I start it using the terminal? | 01:33 | |
| the_dude | soreau, very strange | 01:34 |
| danhs | does /etc/sysctl.conf get loaded on every boot? | 01:34 |
| genii | melwtech35: From your paste: "****@****-desktop:~/Desktop/heirloom-sh-050706$ make install" <-- please note lack of sudo there | 01:34 |
| soreau | the_dude: You probably updated your kernel without realizing it or something | 01:34 |
| corinth | dli: Thanks. I've heard that jfs is faster, is that true? And, is ext4 stable enough for use yet? | 01:34 |
| soreau | genii: Keep reading, he used sudo after that | 01:34 |
| Craighney | parabola I forgot to ask is there any need for a firewall | 01:34 |
| danhs | I followed instructions to get bridged networking going (involves modifications to /etc/sysctl.conf) works fine when I manually reload from CLI, but doesn't work when I reboot | 01:34 |
| danhs | I need to run manual CLI command every time.... | 01:34 |
| genii | soreau: Ah, true | 01:34 |
| soreau | genii: The problem is in /usr/5bin <- that's obviously wrong | 01:34 |
| simone | hi | 01:34 |
| simone | I nedd help | 01:35 |
| simone | please | 01:35 |
| the_dude | soreau, sorry man but whats kernel, im a noob on linux... | 01:35 |
| danhs | errr I should say need to run "sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf" every time..... | 01:35 |
| simone | can somebody help me?? | 01:35 |
| Craighney | could anyone tell me if there's any need for a firewall in linux? | 01:35 |
| RHorse | simone, depends | 01:35 |
| genii | soreau: Looks suspiciously like should be sbin instead of 5bin | 01:35 |
| dli | corinth, I guess ext4 is not finished yet. I doubt you can see the speed difference between ext3 and jfs. if you want speed, test reiser4 | 01:35 |
| bobertdos | Craighney: There's not a huge need for one with basic surfing. It becomes more important if you're running any sort of server. Even so, it never hurts. | 01:35 |
| soreau | the_dude: Ha, then why did you tell me you hadn't updated your kernel when I asked lol | 01:35 |
| rocknlnx | simone: just ask your question | 01:35 |
| simone | deoends on what? | 01:35 |
| soreau | ! kernel | 01:35 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 01:35 |
| danhs | Craighney: prolly....depends | 01:35 |
| simone | ok | 01:35 |
| RHorse | simone, on what your question is | 01:35 |
| simone | sorry for my poor english | 01:36 |
| corinth | dli: What are the cons to reiser4? | 01:36 |
| simone | I'm running Ubuntu Hardy | 01:36 |
| danhs | corinth: it's less stable, less supported....etc | 01:36 |
| dli | corinth, reiser himself in jail currently | 01:36 |
| Craighney | do firewalls consume much processing power and memory | 01:36 |
| simone | and I have problems with Remote folders | 01:36 |
| the_dude | soreau, because i didnt know hehehehehe, and i didnt update anything recently | 01:36 |
| mroc | is there any possible way ubuntu could have caused the following error: Error Code 0F00:0244 Uncorrectable error or media is write protected | 01:36 |
| the_dude | ;) | 01:36 |
| danhs | dli: *currently*, you don't get out of jail for murder too fast | 01:36 |
| simone | that's it | 01:36 |
| the_dude | help - my zsnes doenst have any sound | 01:37 |
| simone | Rhorse are you still there? | 01:37 |
| Moorsalin3 | what does the remote folders not do? | 01:37 |
| simone | mmmhhhh | 01:37 |
| mn | In general, is Ubuntu upgraded in small increments or is everything upgraded on the day of the release of the new OS? | 01:37 |
| simone | I have 2 Pcs | 01:37 |
| simone | one running Windows | 01:37 |
| soundray | !enter | simone | 01:37 |
| ubottu | simone: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:37 |
| simone | and this one running Ubuntu | 01:37 |
| RHorse | simone, sri I don't know about that, mebbe someone else knows | 01:37 |
| bobertdos | Craighney: Well, if you get a hardware firewall, no because the hardware handles it. Software will take a certain amount of resources, but nothing too excessive if you do it right. | 01:37 |
| bombshelter13 | Anyone remember how Ubuntu used to have a splash/progress popup after GDM, in gnome, that would indicate as various bits of gnome were started? What's the name of that package, and can I get it for hardy? | 01:38 |
| simone | oh my gawdddd....ok | 01:38 |
| Craighney | hmmm this sounds like you have to know what you're doing | 01:38 |
| mroc | bombshelter13: gnome-splashscreen-manager | 01:38 |
| RHorse | !patience | simone | 01:38 |
| ubottu | simone: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 01:38 |
| danhs | Does anyone know why I need to manually run sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf to have modifications load? | 01:38 |
| soundray | simone: this is a very busy channel. We need to have rules. Not swearing is one of them, too | 01:38 |
| danhs | I figure that it should load on reboot automatically | 01:39 |
| bombshelter13 | mroc: nice! thanks. :) | 01:39 |
| jrib | bombshelter13: just set /apps/gnome-session/options/show_splash_screen to true in gconf-editor | 01:39 |

| ericjung | how can i configure the shell/terminal to auto-paste when i right-click? | 01:40 |
| simone | I read the official forum... For what I understood there's a bug in ubuntuhardy with SMB client, related to Nautilus | 01:40 |
| soundray | ericjung: middle click not good for you? | 01:40 |
| ericjung | soundray: no middle click on this portable keyboard | 01:40 |
| ericjung | soundray: also want to auto-copy when selecting in the terminal | 01:41 |
| simone | mt problem is....I use the "pc server with win" to listen to music...I've got tons of files in it... | 01:41 |
| soundray | ericjung: it does that. Try clicking left and right simultaneously, that usually emulates a middle click | 01:41 |
| soreau | ericjung: There should be middle click emulation when you press right and left buttons together | 01:41 |

| tritium | tamer: streamtuner is in the repositories | 01:53 |
| rybotsky | im not sure | 01:54 |
| tamer | so what i have to do ? | 01:54 |

| redshift1972 | any help? | 01:54 |
| rybotsky | soundray, i tried what you told me but my resolution wasn't displayed there | 01:55 |

| Ashkore | My problem is that I am on mIrc on my PC-Vista while I am on ubuntu on my PS3 | 02:16 |
| MetalHeadDead | you have ubuntu on your ps3? wow | 02:17 |
| mage__ | Mowk: really? in 8.04 it only does things when you hit install, and it tells you very clearly its going to edit things | 02:17 |
| dli | rybotsky, I think you may try other editors: nano, gvim, gedit | 02:17 |
| sammyF | MetalHeadDead: put him/it on your ignore list. I'm no op btw :) | 02:17 |
| RHorse | mib_mkjis0wo, how big? how many drivers? | 02:17 |
| Ashkore | But the error message is Depends: libswfdec0.5-1 it is not going to be installed | 02:17 |
| sudobash | I have installed it on the PS3 it works pretty well | 02:17 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | alot rhorse | 02:17 |
| MetalHeadDead | sammyf: i know your not ;) | 02:17 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | it gave me a list to select rhorse | 02:17 |
| mage__ | mib_mkjis0wo: anything odd as far as your hard drive? like trying to boot off of a drobo? | 02:17 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | i do not know which driver i have rhorse | 02:17 |
| tritium | Mowk: it would have double-checked that you wanted to perform that action. | 02:17 |
| Mowk | i dont know, i jsut know i didnt click install:( will gparted put them back together to form one big partion again? | 02:17 |
| dli | Ashkore, libswfdec0.5-1 sounds very old:( | 02:17 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | what mage_? | 02:17 |
| wall-e | yeah a friend of mine but ubuntu on his ps3! i use yellowdog | 02:17 |
| RHorse | what computer do you hv, mib_mkjis0wo ? | 02:18 |
| mage__ | Mowk: you'll want to delete the second partition and then expand the one with your stuff | 02:18 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | rhorse, dell 4300 | 02:18 |
| mage__ | how new is it? | 02:18 |
| Mowk | SO dleete the one i jsut made and then thats it? | 02:18 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | ive had it since 9th grade mage_ | 02:18 |
| Mowk | will i half to like format it with ntfs or aanyhting\ | 02:18 |
| mage__ | Mowk: read the other half of my sentance | 02:18 |
| RHorse | about how many choices, mib_mkjis0wo ? | 02:18 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | more than 40 choice rhorse | 02:19 |
| Mowk | expand the one with your stuff, not understanding sorry, | 02:19 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | should i type my bios setting in here rhorse? | 02:19 |
| rybotsky | dli, i removed all the other modes except the one i want and save it but nothing happens | 02:19 |
| RHorse | that's not many, mib_mkjis0wo copy them down and paste them here. | 02:19 |
| tritium | Mowk: the original partition | 02:19 |
| Robb_M | Is the ubuntu minimal cd able to create Encrypted File Systems and things like the alternate cd? | 02:19 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | im on my mac right | 02:19 |
| mage__ | Mowk: gparted is a gui program that'll make the partition bigger and then make the partition all better by running ntfsresize | 02:19 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | the installation is on the desktop rhorse | 02:20 |
| dli | rybotsky, you have to test it, quit X, and test with the new config file | 02:20 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | i am on a mac right now rhorse | 02:20 |
| rybotsky | dli, and how do i do that | 02:20 |
| Bakkan | \msg NickServ identify byzantine | 02:20 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | im using a different computer rhorse | 02:20 |
| sammyF | Mowk: think of gparted as the equivalent to partitionmagic | 02:20 |
| Bakkan | mt | 02:20 |
| dli | rybotsky, Ctl-Alt-F1 to console, login, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 02:20 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | should i continue without disk driver rhorse? | 02:20 |
| Craighney | could anyone tell me how best to use tor with firefox in ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| blak | except gparted is better | 02:21 |
| kiamo | i have my filepermissions set to 770 for a folder, but for some reasons other users in teh same group cannot access it? i must be missing something but im not sure what... any ideas? | 02:21 |
| Mowk | oh gosh i probably sound like an idiot. im Very new with partitions and diddnt exactly knwo what i was doing, i jsut want to know a straight ansswer of how to put the blank partition and add it onto my large partition with windows on it,. | 02:21 |
| wall-e | anyone know how to install Synaptic Package manager?? | 02:21 |
| tritium | dli: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart would be more efficient | 02:21 |
| dli | rybotsky, after you shut down X, sudo X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:21 |
| Ashkore | Aha! I think I needed to add additional repositories for the package manager | 02:21 |
| mroc | could ubuntu have done anything to create a "Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected" message? message is from a drive utility program. | 02:21 |
| RHorse | mib_mkjis0wo, what I said... 8 ) | 02:21 |

| Mowk | cause i jsut split up the partition i diddnt put anyhting on it | 02:22 |
| sammyF | Mowk: your windows partition is formated with NTFS I suppose? | 02:22 |

| blak | Ashkore: I might search the ubuntu forums on that one... probably a lot of great info there I would think | 02:23 |
| Robb_M | you want to merge partitions Mowk? | 02:23 |
| sammyF | Ashkore: code:blocks in my opinion | 02:23 |
| Mowk | Yes | 02:23 |
| tritium | wall-e: I find that *highly* unlikely. Please check the output of "apt-cache policy synaptic" | 02:23 |
| Ashkore | sudo apt-get build essential? | 02:23 |
| sammyF | Ashkore: and then whatever libs you need | 02:23 |

| sammyF | Craighney: you need to install priivoxy. check the tor site, it has a walk-through I think | 02:30 |
| aerosol | Nazarah: that takes a minute to recognize your wireless hardware | 02:30 |
| dli | Ashkore, no need :( or Ctl-C | 02:31 |
| tritium | Ashkore: Ctrl-C | 02:31 |
| blahblahx | dli: thanks. when i did that, i got /home/fred/.Xauthority | 02:31 |
| Shakedown | What's the name of the advanced visual effects compiz config package? | 02:31 |
| blahblahx | dli: now what? | 02:31 |
| Craighney | i thought privoxy was redundant with the introduction of foxyproxy | 02:31 |
| dli | blahblahx, try to unset it: unset XAUTHORITY | 02:31 |

| lambfrier | hi - I updated my Hardy kernel from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-21 as per the update provided by aptitude this morning. I suspect update-grub wasn't called after this. I had some Nvidia problems - am using Nvidia's driver and tried to update the driver. I manually ran update-grub (which ran fine) and booted into 2.6.24-21, then was able to install the nvidia driver fine. Cannot find any logs telling me whether update-grub was run when the ke | 02:32 |
| limcore | I ment it is called simple..... , Shakedown | 02:32 |
| hvgotcodes | how do fix this -- i dont want to get into a situation where my machine doesn't boot | 02:32 |
| blahblahx | dli: same error | 02:32 |
| Robb_M | blak: its also on the ubuntu cd-rom....but they do have a seperate live cd dedicated JUST to gparted... | 02:32 |
| sammyF | leachim_6: you can set the number of desktop in the compiz config panel | 02:32 |
| blak | Robb_M: yea that's what i was talking about earlier .. but i think though that he should just use the ubuntu live cd he already made right.. has gparted as well correct? | 02:32 |
| leachim_6 | sammyF, under what ? | 02:33 |
| Robb_M | blak: correct :D | 02:33 |
| Shakedown | limcore: what are you talking about? | 02:33 |

| albuntu | d4t4min3r: i think i have seen that and you have instructions included in a txt file inside | 02:33 |

| limcore | Shakedown: simple-ccsm is its name | 02:34 |
| sammyF | leachim_6: start ccsm | 02:34 |
| dli | blahblahx, can you get X with ssh X forwarding? like: ssh root@localhost | 02:34 |
| tritium | bldfreak: watch the language, please, and keep it family-friendly | 02:34 |
| leachim_6 | sammyF, k | 02:34 |
| Ashkore | Aside from build-essential what was the other package I could use for developing in C++, someone recommended code::build or something? What was it again and how do I install it. | 02:35 |
| dli | blahblahx, or: ssh localhost | 02:35 |
| sammyF | leachim_6: should be in the settings, or just type ccsm in a terminal | 02:35 |
| blahblahx | dli: localhost being what? | 02:35 |
| Shakedown | limcore: so what is compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:35 |
| leachim_6 | it's open | 02:35 |
| blahblahx | dli: my computers ip? | 02:35 |
| leachim_6 | I know | 02:35 |
| leachim_6 | I mean where in ccsm | 02:35 |
| blahblahx | dli: or anothers? | 02:35 |
| tritium | Ashkore: what is it you need, exactly? | 02:35 |
| rporter | thanks for the help | 02:35 |
| blak | bldfreak: you may want to run some tests on your hard-drive, obviiously through some bootable media... or you could try again with install if you haven't already... but yea you are right something is really wrong with that... | 02:35 |
| hvgotcodes | why do packages get held back on upgrade | 02:35 |
| sammyF | leachim_6: in the general properties, Desktop size :) | 02:35 |
| aim1159 | http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8691 anybody check if this applied to 8.10 kernel? | 02:36 |
| leachim_6 | ...that doesn't exist in mine | 02:36 |
| blahblahx | dli: when i type ssh localhost i get: connection refused | 02:36 |
| aim1159 | 8.04 have the same bug | 02:36 |
| blahblahx | dli: but im guessing thats not an X thing | 02:36 |
| leachim_6 | ohh, nevermind | 02:36 |
| leachim_6 | I misunderstood | 02:36 |
| sammyF | leachim_6: horizontal virtual size is what you need | 02:36 |
| Ashkore | well i was wondering for development what was the other thing someone suggested to get | 02:36 |

| Ashkore | Should I upgrade to 8.04 LTS it says I can or is that not recommended until a full stable release? | 02:37 |
| blak | aim1159: try the channel in the topic for intrepid related questions. i bet they know | 02:37 |
| leachim_6 | sammyF, yeah, thanks | 02:37 |
| blahblahx | dli: the whole message is "ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: connection refused | 02:37 |

| Ashkore | thanks | 02:38 |
| sammyF | Ashkore: 8.04 IS stable though | 02:38 |
| sammyF | Ashkore: or did you mean 8.10 ? | 02:38 |
| Ashkore | 8.04 | 02:38 |
| blak | Ashkore: yep 8.04 has been stable | 02:38 |
| sammyF | Ashkore: 8.04 is Hardy. It's stable | 02:38 |

| mroc | still hanging around looking for an answer to the following: is it at all possible for ubuntu to have caused the following error in a drive utility "Uncorrectable data error or media is write protected" ? | 02:39 |
| blak | mroc: that is more a permissions or hardware issue | 02:40 |
| RHorse | mroc, is driver mounted as read/write? | 02:40 |

| DigitalFiz | mroc, do you like pizza? | 02:40 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | thats the just the gist of the list | 02:40 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | there are MORE rhorse and im not gonna type them all | 02:41 |
| mroc | sammyF: it's a drive with an ntfs partition, a small fat partition, and unpartitioned space (deleted ubuntu partition) | 02:41 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | i am in this stage of installation where the ubuntu cannot detect my disk drive and it has asked me to select the driver from the list. i do not know the driver of my disk. what should i do? | 02:41 |
| sammyF | mroc: and none of the partitions appear? | 02:41 |
| isilion | trouble wit ati radeon 9800 pro: i installed ati drivers and computer hangs launching games in 3d | 02:41 |

| blahblahx | dli: same errors | 02:42 |
| nicknull | is the linux kernel all written in C? or C++ too? | 02:42 |
| mroc | sammyF: well, since i deleted the ubuntu partition (don't ask...) it's not bootable. but the drive won't mount in a live cd, and the installer seems to go into some infinite loop at loading the partitioner | 02:42 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | i am in this stage of installation where the ubuntu cannot detect my disk drive and it has asked me to select the driver from the list. i do not know the driver of my disk. what should i do? | 02:42 |
| RHorse | mib_mkjis0wo, it would help if you knew the mfg of the drive you are trying to find. Do you know that or can find out? | 02:42 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | no..rhorse, can you tell me how i can? | 02:42 |
| Chubbz | @mib_mk... are your drives IDE or SATA> | 02:42 |
| Mowk | Hey its mowk again | 02:42 |
| Mowk | im on ubuntu now | 02:42 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | ide cd-rom | 02:42 |
| blak | mroc: you should check the integrity of the live cd | 02:43 |
| dli | blahblahx, find the X cmdline: sudo ps fx|grep X | 02:43 |
| Ashkore | wait a second does 8.04 work with the Playstation 3? | 02:43 |
| Chubbz | should | 02:43 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | chubbz, i am not sure..but i keep seeing the word ide cd-rom | 02:43 |
| blak | Mowk: are you using Gnome? | 02:43 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | whenever it ask me to boot | 02:43 |
| mroc | sammyF: it's a good live cd...this happens with both 8.04 and 8.10 daily image | 02:43 |
| sammyF | mroc: tried booting in windows (if you can) and then shutting restarting your comp? | 02:43 |
| Mowk | im using pigen isntstant messanger | 02:44 |
| sammyF | mroc: there's an issue with NTFS drives when they weren't properly shut down afaik | 02:44 |
| nicknull | is the linux kernel all written in C? or C++ too? | 02:44 |
| Ashkore | Wikipedia says its incompatible to what degree should I trust wikipedia? | 02:44 |
| RHorse | mib_mkjis0wo, does it boot at all, or it is trying to find the drive to boot from? | 02:44 |
| mroc | sammyF: forgive me if this is a dumb question, but how would i go about booting into windows? grub took over as the bootloader, and the linux partition was deleted | 02:44 |
| blahblahx | dli: that spits out: "1700 tty7 Ss+ 0:36 \_ /usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/ :0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7" | 02:44 |
| sammyF | mroc: do you have access to a CD burner? if yes, create a supergrub CD | 02:44 |

| blak | Mowk: in x windows right, what desktop manager are you using? | 02:45 |
| mroc | sammyF: i do. i've never heard of that. any more info, or should i google it and learn on my own? | 02:45 |
| nicknull | tritium:thanks | 02:45 |
| sammyF | mroc: one sec.. looking for the url | 02:45 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | rhorse, it does boot and it give me xp os | 02:45 |
| mroc | sammyF: thanks. i can dig it up if needed. | 02:45 |
| bldfreak | Update: blak - All my files and stuff are intact in the # folders in my lost+found folder. | 02:45 |
| RHorse | But it doesn't boot from the ubuntu disk, correct? | 02:45 |
| bldfreak | So I guessed it just renamed them? | 02:45 |
| nicknull | how big is the kernel now? i read it was onky 10K lines when Linues released in 91 | 02:45 |
| sammyF | mroc: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 02:45 |
| blak | bldfreak: something went awry with the install that is for sure.. i guess it is good it saved your files though | 02:46 |
| Mowk | blak i am in ubuntu | 02:46 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | i am installing ubuntu rhorse | 02:46 |
| sammyF | mroc: you shouldbe able to reboot windows using that | 02:46 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | when i boot from startup | 02:46 |
| when2 | hello | 02:46 |
| sammyF | mroc: if you have it on one of your drive | 02:46 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | it gave me installation site rhorse | 02:46 |
| blahblahx | dli: that any help? | 02:46 |
| dli | blahblahx, sudo xauth -f /var/lib/gdm/ :0.Xauth nlist| xauth -f ~/.Xauthority nmerge - | 02:46 |
| blak | Mowk: goto administration and then partion editor | 02:46 |
| blak | Mowk: that will be gparted | 02:46 |
| RHorse | mib_mkjis0wo, I am still not sure what the problem is? Does it boot off of the disk in the cdrom? | 02:47 |
| Mowk | yes i have no idea how to use it:O | 02:47 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | ya rhorse | 02:47 |
| blak | Mowk: you want to merge the ntfs partition with the blank one, correct? | 02:47 |
| mroc | sammyF: i'll look into it. windows still exists, i could see it using the recovery console on a windows disk. i was just concerned about running fixmbr if there was a mechanical problem with the disk causing these errors. | 02:47 |
| alvarus | i want to set NVIDIA X server settings | 02:47 |
| dli | blahblahx, it doesn't mean I know how you messed up | 02:47 |
| alvarus | hi | 02:47 |
| Mowk | it says unallocated 17.8 gigs | 02:47 |
| blak | mroc: i would run fixmbr | 02:48 |
| Mowk | and then my regular one | 02:48 |
| RHorse | mib_mkjis0wo, ok, then what drive is it trying to find a driver for? the hard drive? | 02:48 |
| dli | blahblahx, you still have to troubleshort for that | 02:48 |
| mib_mkjis0wo | i dunno rhorse | 02:48 |
| MetalHeadDead | how do install files from a .bin (google earth)? | 02:48 |
| blak | Mowk: ok what do you want to do with the unallocated 17.8 (free space) | 02:48 |
| sammyF | mroc: yep. I understand that. Thus supergrub. it doesn't install anything. It just bypasses your disks bootloaders and so on | 02:48 |
| blahblahx | dli: uh when i did what you asked i got: xauth (argv):1: unknown command ":0.Xauth" | 02:48 |
| Mowk | merge it with my vista partition | 02:48 |
| PoisonArrow | can you partition a usb stick? | 02:48 |
| sammyF | mroc: one of the must-have boot cds ;) | 02:48 |
| mroc | blak: what's the word on fixmbr if there's a possible mechanical issue with bad blocks on the drive? because there are some rather dire warnings against such things and i don't understand hardware on a low enough level to know what the danger really is | 02:48 |
| blahblahx | dli: and then "xauth: (argv):1: unable to read any entries from file "(stdin) | 02:48 |
| joseph | hi people | 02:49 |
| blak | Mowk: right click on the vista partition then you should get some options.. hopefully you see merge or resize? | 02:49 |
| RHorse | mib_mkjis0wo, well, you need to write down exactly what the error message says. Ubuntu is usu. good in provinding info to solve a problem. ( unlike some other os's). | 02:49 |
| Chubbz | @PoisonArrow yeah, ive done it in gparted before | 02:49 |
| MetalHeadDead | i just d/l google earth it's a .bin file and when i open it it gives me an error | 02:49 |
| dli | blahblahx, looks like you typed the command line | 02:49 |
| blahblahx | dli: what? | 02:49 |
| blahblahx | dli: sorry i dont quite follow you | 02:49 |
| dli | blahblahx, you typed it wrong? | 02:49 |
| blak | mroc: i personally wouldn't worry about it... but i think supergrub is a good idea and then you don't have to worry at all.. i would do that if you really are wanting to be totally safe | 02:49 |
| blahblahx | oh maybe | 02:49 |
| PoisonArrow | Chubbz: ok so it is possible? the livecd or while on ubuntu? also, you think fdisk would work? | 02:49 |
| Mowk | i clicked resize blak... now im confuuzed haha | 02:49 |
| joseph | do you speak spanish? | 02:49 |
| blahblahx | dli: the computer with the problem cant open any programs, so... | 02:50 |
| alvarus | how set the resolution in the NVIDIA X server Settings? | 02:50 |
| blahblahx | dli: ill try re-giving it to you | 02:50 |
| mroc | sammyF: thanks for the help, it's very much appreciated. i'll probably try to find you again if i run into questions (if that's all right). | 02:50 |
| blak | Mowk: you should be able to take up all the free space now with that... will it let you make the partition the entire size of the disk now? | 02:50 |
| dli | blahblahx, sudo xauth -f /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth nlist| xauth -f ~/.Xauthority nmerge - | 02:50 |
| tritium | joseph: not in this channel. /join #ubuntu-es for spanish | 02:50 |

| blak | mroc: no problem you are very welcome i hope it helped | 02:50 |
| sammyF | mroc: well . I'm not a regular here ;) I only come whenever I have a uestion/problem .. and then I usually end up helping where I can | 02:51 |
| Mowk | blak i dont even know:O is there a remote assistance tool maybe you could help me with? | 02:51 |
| alvarus | hi | 02:51 |
| blahblahx | dli: ahh that worked i got: xauth: creating new authority file myhome | 02:51 |
| sammyF | mroc: but you're welcome :) | 02:51 |
| mroc | sammyF: ah, i see. i do the same thing. | 02:51 |
| blahblahx | dli: that worked | 02:51 |
| blak | Mowk: i have a good url for you.... give me a minute i will link you to it, it will really help you visualize this process | 02:51 |
| dli | blahblahx, as I said, you still have to troubleshoot how it messed up | 02:51 |
| Mowk | I really appreciate the help blak. thank you very much | 02:52 |
| blahblahx | dli: okay, what now? | 02:52 |
| blahblahx | dli: thanks though for getting that to work | 02:52 |
| sammyF | mroc: yep. astounding, but the system seems to work. So far I've always received quite usefull help, and I hopefully gave some | 02:52 |
| dli | blahblahx, I'm not sure, is this something related to changing hostname? | 02:52 |
| blak | Mowk: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php | 02:52 |
| blahblahx | dli: i think i messed it up by following an outdated guide | 02:52 |
| sammyF | anyway .. I'm off to play with this awesome gimp release :D | 02:52 |
| sammyF | nighty/noon/evening everybody :) | 02:53 |
| blak | Mowk: look at the rezie closer look image down the page a bit | 02:53 |
| blahblahx | dli: there was this guide for doing something that actually wasn't a problem | 02:53 |
| blahblahx | dli: so i messed up xauth by following it (it was for gutsy) | 02:53 |
| blak | Mowk: Make the "new size" = the "maximum size" | 02:53 |
| blak | Mowk: then you will apply and this will make it take the entire disk up with that one partition | 02:53 |
| dli | blahblahx, oh, you messed up with xauth, then, no worry, try to restart gdm, see whether it works from now on | 02:54 |
| blahblahx | dli: but i have to go now | 02:54 |
| blahblahx | dli: ok ill restart it and if it doesnt work, see you later :) | 02:54 |
| blahblahx | dli: bye | 02:54 |
| Mowk | blak one think im worried is it will tkae over my recovery partion too:O cause my gateway has one | 02:54 |
| Mowk | blak i think the recovery may be a serperate drive though | 02:55 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| blak | no it will not take it over as that will not be called unallocated space | 02:55 |
| Mowk | okay thanks\ | 02:56 |
| blak | Mowk: if all you see is the unallocated space and the one partition then that recovery one will not be affected | 02:56 |
| nate_ | Okay Here is my situation. I have Ubuntu Studio 8.04, but I have decided that all these extra programs are really not for me. What do i need to do to "downgrade" to Hardy Heron but keep the theme? are there repositories that i need to delete and if so what ones? | 02:56 |
| wartalker | how to let system auto load a module when reboot | 02:57 |
| tritium | wartalker: append the module name to /etc/modules | 02:57 |
| blak | Mowk: yes I would say it is on a partition that is not being shown or is on another drive... or doesn't really exist, worse case it would show the partition as something or definitely as "unknown disk area" or somethinglike that | 02:57 |
| dli | nate_, I think you can just remove applications you don't want, no point to downgrade | 02:57 |
| Mowk | blak it is expanding now and i think it will work. we will see though | 02:57 |
| wartalker | tritium:thanks | 02:57 |
| nate_ | okay thanks :) | 02:58 |
| blak | Mowk: awesome, those screenshots on that link i gave you should be helpful as well for seeing all the different screens that can come up... i have to be going, but i think you have it right now! i wish you the best of luck and take care! | 02:58 |

| oOarthurOo | Guest51413: Do you have a spare partition for XP to be installed to? | 02:59 |
| blak | Mowk: you didn't have ubuntu on this machine did you... because if you use maxium size.. you make the ntfs take up the whole disk.. ubuntu will no longer have anywhere to be.. just making sure? | 02:59 |
| Dreamglider | is it possible to mount ubuntu 8.04 and install it within ubuntu running of the harddisk ? | 02:59 |

| chaddy | Dreamglider: which bit is messed up? | 03:02 |
| Dreamglider | the screen res | 03:02 |
| oOarthurOo | Guest51413: Ah. Well, not too hard. A grub rescue disc makes it easy enough if you like. Otherwise, I'd just google "reinstall grub ubuntu". This is one thread that pops up, has some good tips (skip number 1( | 03:02 |

| oOarthurOo | Anyway, Guest51413 my advice is don't reinstall XP and Ubuntu in the "proper order". Just go ahead an install Xp, then use your google from the XP partition and your install disc to figure it out | 03:04 |
| redshift1972 | could someone help me with running through to ut 2004 demo install choices | 03:05 |
| oOarthurOo | Guest51413: And have no fear... you'll break things temporarily but it's easily fixable, and you'll learna few things along the way | 03:05 |
| csilk | i just installed apache, php, mysql and for some reason the mysql extension isnt loaded by default, i thought this extension was always included by default? | 03:05 |
| redshift1972 | anybody ? | 03:06 |
| gusx | is there a signal to redirect the standard stdout of a running procces ?? | 03:06 |
| Gevaudan | csilk: there is a separate extension | 03:07 |
| liza0 | hello | 03:07 |
| Gevaudan | csilk: did you install php5-mysql ? that is the extension | 03:07 |
| csilk | Gevaudan, every other time I've done the amp installation that extension has always been loaded by default | 03:07 |
| redshift1972 | im installing ut 2004 demo...it says do you want to install symbolic links to a directory in your path? what should i do? | 03:07 |
| csilk | Gevaudan, libapache2-mod-php5 | 03:08 |
| csilk | oh wait | 03:08 |
| csilk | i've never had to install the php5-mysql before | 03:08 |
| chaddy | redshift1972: what do you want to do? | 03:08 |
| Gevaudan | I'm not sure what amp is, but I just recently configured an apache/php/tomcat box from scratch and by installing that package it was loaded | 03:08 |
| csilk | I literally did this 2 weeks ago | 03:08 |
| redshift1972 | install ut2004 demo i have the installer up its asking me questions | 03:08 |
| redshift1972 | i dont know how to answere them and if ubuntu will only want me to install in particular areas | 03:09 |
| === Mordocai_away is now known as Mordocai_distrac | ||
| chaddy | redshift1972: symbolic links in your path are probably a good thing | 03:09 |

| robbak | Could someone tell me where to go to set up a ppp connection in the new network manager? | 03:09 |
| Gevaudan | csilk: in any case, make sure it exists in /usr/lib/php5 ...in one of the subfolder should be mysql.so | 03:10 |
| csilk | Gevaudan, ok i think i know what happened, the php package will look to see if mysql is installed, if yes it will install the php extention automatically, if not then it wont, i forgot to install mysql first, lesson learned, thanks for the help anyway | 03:10 |
| Gevaudan | sure | 03:10 |
| redshift1972 | no im running the instraller from the terminal and it has a gui installer thing im just wondering what directories to install etc | 03:10 |
| bpat1434 | how can I force the rest of my sata disks to mount at boot and stay mounted rather than doing this "on access" junk? | 03:10 |
| chaddy | redshift1972: don't take this as gospel, I'd run the installer under sudo and let it write where it wants | 03:11 |
| badfish | how do i view/kill open processes? | 03:11 |
| Gevaudan | bpat1434: what file system, ntfs? | 03:11 |
| badfish | specificlaly firefox | 03:11 |
| bpat1434 | Gevaudan, ext3 | 03:11 |

| Mordocai_HW | badfish: pa -A, kill <process #> | 03:11 |

| david | hello??? | 03:12 |
| bpat1434 | Gevaudan, I used gparted to format the disks, but they won't automount and stay mounted. | 03:12 |
| === david is now known as Guest72179 | ||
| Gevaudan | bpat1434: i can't remember the exact syntax for ext3...but you need to edit /etc/fstab and add a line for the partition you want mounted | 03:12 |
| Ademan | anyone here lucky enough to get a Lenovo IdeaPad s10 care to describe their thoughts on it? especially the keyboard, and performance with ubuntu | 03:12 |
| bpat1434 | I have that | 03:12 |
| bpat1434 | Gevaudan, /dev/sdc1/media/storageext3defaults00 | 03:13 |
| bpat1434 | Gevaudan, however the disk icons don't show up on the desktop until I try to access them initially, and then once I do access them there is a long dely | 03:13 |
| Gevaudan | bpat1434: try /dev/sda1/media/repository ext3 defaults 0 0 ....but replace /dev/sda1 with whatever partition you are trying to mount...then type sudo mount -a and see if it appears...make sure you create /media/repository or whatever you want to mount it to first | 03:13 |
| redshift1972 | usr/local/bin thats where it wants the symbolic links | 03:13 |

It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 03:15 |

| danhs | Guest63463: it's rm | 03:37 |
| Guest63463 | thanks guys :) | 03:37 |
| Dittohead | Guest43804, man rm for more info | 03:37 |
| danhs | Guest63463: be careful though, rm is really powerful..... | 03:37 |
| danhs | !rm | 03:37 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 03:37 |
| Mordocai_HW | the terminal is like... uber mode :P | 03:37 |
| jaxal | hi...i need help with the wifi connectivity | 03:37 |
| Guest63463 | lol | 03:37 |
| genii | Mordocai_HW: Yes. Use with care | 03:38 |
| danhs | Guest63463: you might want to use rm -i for interactive mode to make sure you don't accidentally delete stuff. or use ls in place of rm to list out everything you're going to delete | 03:38 |
| Guest63463 | how do I delete a directory? I just converted my other HDD from ntfs to ext3 and need to remove this lost+found directory | 03:38 |
| tj83 | jaxal, you'll have to give more information someone might know | 03:38 |
| RHorse | danhs, best to rename rm to smash, and make an alias 'rm | 03:38 |
| jaxal | i am seeing a WEP protected network and even with the password i am unable to connect to the internet...do you guys have any suggestions? | 03:38 |
| tj83 | Guest63463, sudo rm -r directoryname | 03:38 |
| meyos | hello, ive been trying to get my wireless network to work on my laptop, i can see my network signal, i type in my network key, the sognal shows 100%, but the network doesnt connect. what can i do? | 03:38 |
| Guest63463 | thank you | 03:38 |
| liza0 | is ubuntu 64bit much faster than 32 bit ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| jamesish1 | Guest63463: rm -rf directoryname isn't as safe as rm -r but can be less irritating. | 03:39 |
| afallenhope | if I have a full duplex soundcard (nvidia) how can I use jackd to work with it.. because it doesn't seem to want to work... and it always mess up | 03:39 |
| tritium | liza0: no | 03:39 |
| ilovefedora | anyone use cpanel? | 03:39 |
| danhs | RHorse: in my bash.alias file (or whatever it's named) rm is an alias for rm -i | 03:39 |
| Guest63463 | It worked! Thanks guys :) | 03:39 |
| afallenhope | ilovefedora, I do.. | 03:39 |
| georgy_28 | Guest63463, : rm -R directory | 03:39 |
| ilovefedora | how do i add my domains? | 03:39 |
| losher | Guest63463: leave the lost+found directory alone | 03:39 |
| jamesish1 | Liza0: not ona 32 bit processor. | 03:39 |
| jaxal | meyos seems to have the same problem as me | 03:39 |
| Guest63463 | losher... too late >>< | 03:39 |
| danhs | RHorse: for a while, I was hoping to make rm move stuff to trash, but it seems like it's a bit tricky and not worth the trouble | 03:39 |
| Guest63463 | it's gone =P | 03:39 |
| liza0 | i mean on a 64bit processor | 03:39 |
| * Mordocai_HW wonders why ilovefedora is in ubuntu channel. | 03:39 | |
| jamesish1 | He DID say lost+found, you're right. Oh dear, oh dear. | 03:39 |
| jamesish1 | Ah well, too late now. | 03:40 |
| meyos | jexal:frustrating, huh? | 03:40 |
| tritium | liza0: still no | 03:40 |
| ilovefedora | lol | 03:40 |
| liza0 | Mordocai_HW:may be is loking for a new love | 03:40 |
| RHorse | danhs, it's not really hard, but a small script might be better than typing all on one line in the .bashrc | 03:40 |
| jaxal | meyos: verrrrry!! | 03:40 |
| tj83 | jaxal, meyos sure your using the correct encryption type? hex? 128 bit? WPA? | 03:40 |
| losher | Guest63463: probably doesn't matter: fsck will recreate it if needed (I think) | 03:40 |
| Guest63463 | kk thanks losher | 03:40 |
| losher | Guest63463: it's a normal part of an ext3 filesystem | 03:40 |
| jamesish1 | losher: that's right; it's just if anything was orphaned in there, then it's gorn forever instead of being recoverable. | 03:40 |
| Mordocai_HW | liza0: Yeah, possibly :P. I, myself, haven't settled on one distro. | 03:40 |
| danhs | RHorse: you don't know how to give sysctl a kick so it reloads sysctl.conf a second time do you? | 03:40 |
| Mordocai_HW | losher: He's gone... | 03:40 |
| jaxal | tj83: i am sure abt the encryption i am using its a WEP hex 128-bit | 03:40 |
| brock | can anybody tell me how to get a trash icon on my desktop | 03:40 |
| losher | jamesish1: true that... | 03:41 |
| Melwasul | hey, my resolution on my screen seems to be messed up. the bottom toolbar isnt even visible.. Can someone help me? | 03:41 |
| danhs | I'm having problems with bridge networking cause settings in sysctl.conf don't get loaded on boot | 03:41 |
| danhs | I need to run them in shell in order to take effect | 03:41 |
| danhs | I even put up a message on ubuntuforums.com http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=948076 | 03:41 |
| danhs | :-p | 03:41 |
| mroc | brock: open gconf-editor and it's a check-box option under apps -> nautilus -> desktop i think | 03:41 |
| jamesish1 | danhs: I was just reading this: http://www.linux.com/feature/125977 | 03:41 |
| RHorse | danhs, sri, that's a new one to me! I'm a recovering newbie 8 ) | 03:41 |
| danhs | jamesish1: yea, I've heard of upstart too....it's a bit over my head on how to use upstart like that | 03:42 |
| naknomik | are there any more themes for gnome desktop I can download for ubuntu, besides the defaults that ship? | 03:42 |
| tj83 | jaxal, i dont have any other suggestion.. other than to try changing your router to 64 bit and try that | 03:42 |
| jamesish1 | danhs: upstart is what you're using in either case, it manages all the stuff on ubuntu. | 03:42 |
| keram | hello | 03:42 |
| jaxal | tj83: thanks! | 03:42 |
| mroc | naknomik: sure.....gnome-look.org has many options (as a place to start looking) | 03:42 |
| danhs | jamesish1: hmmmm oka | 03:42 |
| jamesish1 | nakmonik: take a look at gnome-look.org | 03:43 |
| danhs | okay | 03:43 |
| Melwasul | can someone help me? | 03:43 |
| thebossut | hello all | 03:43 |
| keram | i'm trying to connect my ubuntu box to a newly installed debian router. the router doesnt have any dhcp features so the ubuntu box has to pick a static ip | 03:43 |
| Melwasul | anyone..? | 03:43 |
| meyos | tj83: let me try them all, i didnt think of trying them all, oops. lol thanks | 03:43 |
| thebossut | i am new to linux tho have done installs, and got it up and running, I am looking to do a web server, for my wife she is trying to get in to photogrhy sorry if spelling is off | 03:43 |
| keram | here is my interfaces file: http://rafb.net/p/KLlP4I72.html. is there any directive that i should add? | 03:44 |
| losher | !ask | Melwasul | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Melwasul: 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. :-) | 03:44 |
| thebossut | any one have on what might be good to install to make it easy for her to manage the website and post a portfolieo | 03:44 |
| Melwasul | i did, no one listened | 03:44 |
| Melwasul | hey, my resolution on my screen seems to be messed up. the bottom toolbar isnt even visible.. Can someone help me? | 03:44 |
| jamesish1 | Melwasul: No. You're doomed to die lonely, wondering why we don't assist. Oh woe, woe is all. | 03:44 |
| keram | Melwasul, look into xrandr | 03:44 |
| Melwasul | such a lovely group of people | 03:44 |
| jamesish1 | Melwasul: try using your monitor screen resize menu, might help out ;) | 03:44 |
| Melwasul | you think i havnt? | 03:45 |
| Melwasul | quit being an ass and try to help. | 03:45 |
| mroc | Melwasul: we have no way of knowing what you've tried. | 03:45 |
| thebossut | not gonna get much help that way | 03:45 |
| Melwasul | well, then it could be said much nicer. | 03:45 |
| jamesish1 | Melwasul: Y'know, I was about to private message you letting you know I was just joking, and seeing if there was some way to help you out. | 03:45 |
| losher | Melwasul: you catch more flies with honey that vinegar | 03:45 |
| keram | you are the only one being an ass... | 03:45 |
| georgy_28 | ! language | 03:46 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:46 |
| losher | Melwasul: you catch more flies with honey _than_ vinegar | 03:46 |
| Melwasul | thats a lie actually, vinegar works better | 03:46 |
| meyos | It worked! it was hex key thanks tj. | 03:46 |
| ds[de] | haha I just read the xkcd comic about this earlier :D | 03:46 |
| Melwasul | so, any other ideas on this problem? | 03:46 |
| Kyoukipichi | Is there a way to install the command mkfs.ext from Ubuntu's repository? I'm bored and want to mkfs the original ext onto a 2-gigabyte file. | 03:46 |
| mroc | Melwasul: well, regardless...have you looked into xrandr? | 03:46 |
| ds[de] | (honey/vinegar thing) | 03:46 |
| tj83 | meyos, :) np | 03:46 |
| Melwasul | ill look now. | 03:46 |
| Kyoukipichi | and imo, vinegar is easier to smell than honey | 03:46 |
| Kyoukipichi | that'd attract more flies | 03:47 |
| Sn007ake | I need some major help maybe it's something simple.........I had EVERYthing working in ubuntu and today i did the Update and rebooted now my GFX won't work and my wireless is not working as well.........

| genii | thebossut: Yes | 03:47 |
| Mordocai_HW | Sn007ake: Might be the kernel update broke them? just a guess, but i'd rollback the kernel. | 03:47 |
| thebossut | thank you | 03:47 |

| tj83 | Fishy, are you using sudo? | 03:48 |
| Sn007ake | How do i do that mordocai? | 03:48 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: you want to do this from the command line? use ln -s (read up on the exact syntax with "man ln") | 03:48 |

| thebossut | i am new to linux tho have done installs, and got it up and running, I am looking to do a web server, for my wife she is trying to get in to photogrhy sorry if spelling is off any one have on what might be good to install to make it easy for her to manage the website and post a portfolieo | 03:48 |

| jimbo2008 | hi is there a command line or a way to tell what color depth ubuntu 8.04 is running at? (eg 16 bit or 24 bit) | 03:48 |
| keram | thebossut, to get a web server running you need to install a web server and forward ports through your router. then you have your own website. | 03:48 |
| derrick1123 | hi | 03:48 |
| thebossut | yea i know how to do that | 03:49 |
| thebossut | but woundering if anyone knows a good front end | 03:49 |
| keram | thebossut, most people use apache because. you can just apt-get install apache then you are off to the races | 03:49 |
| derrick1123 | question, is it normal for the terminal to freeze? | 03:49 |
| thebossut | that is easy for her to use | 03:49 |
| cdm10 | derrick1123: when doing what? Sometimes it can hang when running long commands... | 03:49 |
| keram | thebossut, ah like a CMS.. there are lots of free things lke wordpress and drupal that you could install on the webserver | 03:49 |
| jamesish1 | thebossut: well, apt-get install apache will get a web server. configuring that is best done with a how-to open. Then log in to your router and forward port 80 to the relevant IP address. | 03:49 |
| donavan_ | cdm10: I am just trying to get a link to a game I play to appear on the desktop or toolbar | 03:49 |
| jamesish1 | Ooh, WordPress is fun. | 03:49 |
| userwaldo | does anyone know how to read data from an interactive CD sometimes called an enhanced cd or a CD Extra? Ubuntu 8.4 mounts is as an audio cd, and I can't read the data portion | 03:50 |
| derrick1123 | cdm10: im installing my wifi stuff, and it keeps freezing when adding something to the black list | 03:50 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: oh. Is the game in the applications menu? Just right click on its particular entry and you'll see something like "create launcher on panel" | 03:50 |
| thebossut | what would wordpress let her do | 03:50 |
| cdm10 | derrick1123: can you be more specific as to what you're doing? | 03:50 |
| keram | thebossut, if you google around for 'free', 'content management systems', 'linux', 'ubuntu' you are bound to find something | 03:50 |
| Fishy | tj83, i got it! :) thanks for answering | 03:50 |
| Sn007ake | How do i roll back to a previous kernel? | 03:50 |
| jamesish1 | thebossut: make a free account on wordpress.com and take a look at what it can do. If you like it, install wordpress for her. If not, ten minutes lost. | 03:50 |
| tritium | jamesish1: most people use apache2 now | 03:50 |
| keram | thebossut, /join #wordpress, #drupal | 03:51 |
| donavan_ | cdm10 yeah I wish it were that easy ... its urban terror and there is no installed just extract and play so it never puts it on the menu | 03:51 |
| thebossut | thanks guys big help | 03:51 |
| keram | sure thing | 03:51 |
| jamesish1 | tritium: I actually normally install it in freebsd, where it's the apache22 port. I just didn't know what the name was, sorry :P | 03:51 |
| tritium | jamesish1: no worries :) | 03:51 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: how do you start the game? You can create a launcher that runs a command. | 03:51 |

| dft | anyone else run into issues with cd/dvd burners not identifying blank media installed? | 03:59 |
| izinucs | dft, yep.. happened to me with a HP lightscribe cd/dvd burner.. replaced and all is well. | 04:00 |
| dft | I have two ide burners, one dvd on cd and neither will work under hardy | 04:00 |
| dft | as burners | 04:00 |
| eightyeight | anyone know why i'm being forced to do an fsck on an external disk with autofs? | 04:01 |
| losher | eightyeight: autofs mounts filesystems. A filesystem that isn't "clean" needs to be fsck'ed before mounting. Try fsck'ing it manually | 04:01 |
| cdm10 | eightyeight: perhaps it needs to be fscked? Run the fsck, and see if it still bothers you about it. | 04:01 |
| izinucs | dft, you might try k3b as the burning software . .. I never really liked brassero | 04:01 |
| dft | i need to run some test maybe with cdrecord from the cli | 04:02 |
| pinkey | I'm trying to install, but while booting the install CD, it hangs at "Running local boot scripts" (/etc/rc.local). Is this common? I've used this same CD to install on two other machines without any issues. | 04:02 |
| Visitor15 | dft, I'm guessing it's detecting non-blank cd's fine? | 04:02 |
| eightyeight | losher: cdm10: i've done a 'tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sdc1' so i don't have to be bothered with it (this drive gets plugged in several times a day) | 04:02 |
| genii | pinkey: Hit enter key | 04:02 |
| donavan_ | cdm10: I tried this and I am still getting the same error /home/me/Games/ioUrbanTerror.i386 can you see anything wrong ? | 04:02 |
| dft | Visitor15, I believe so, I'll dbl check | 04:02 |
| pinkey | genii, is that a joke? | 04:02 |
| genii | pinkey: Sadly no | 04:02 |
| pinkey | genii, I've done that many times. | 04:03 |
| pinkey | genii, it just makes the cursor move down one row, but otherwise has no effect. | 04:03 |
| eightyeight | losher: cdm10: clean. | 04:03 |
| losher | eightyeight: it still has to be clean before it will mount. If you ever dismount it improperly, it will need to be re-fscked | 04:03 |
| cdm10 | eightyeight: it might be unclean, which means it needs to be fscked. That means it was uncleanly disconnected while not in journaling mode, usually. | 04:03 |
| tj83 | donavan_, not sure.. but i dont think that is the executable file? | 04:03 |
| genii | pinkey: OK. How long is the longest you've waited on it so far? | 04:03 |
| cdm10 | eightyeight: you sure about that? It can't hurt to try fscking... | 04:03 |
| eightyeight | losher: you're talking to a linux instructor. i don't pull devices from the system without umount | 04:04 |
| cdm10 | eightyeight: also, afaik, Ubuntu auto-mounts external drives, and ignores the fsck requirements most of the time. | 04:04 |
| pinkey | genii, it has been about 10 minutes now. CPU is idle, HD and CD are both quiet too. | 04:04 |
| eightyeight | cdm10: this is an external drive | 04:04 |
| losher | eightyeight: what does fsck -p <device> say about it? | 04:04 |
| genii | pinkey: abort the rc.local then with ctrl-c | 04:04 |
| donavan_ | TJ83: yeah I made it executable who ever put this game pack together didnt make it easy to understand | 04:04 |
| === Mordocai is now known as Mordocai_HW | ||
| genii | pinkey: Should continue to the next thing | 04:04 |
| cdm10 | eightyeight: so why do you need automount, when Ubuntu will do it for you out of the box? | 04:04 |
| eightyeight | losher: just ran 'fsck -f /dev/sdc1' to force it | 04:04 |
| pinkey | genii, I've tried that too, and it doesn't respond. | 04:04 |
| eightyeight | cdm10: gnome will do it out of the box. i'm not running gnome | 04:05 |
| losher | eightyeight: ok. so does it mount ok now? | 04:05 |
| donavan_ | OK I got it I didnt have the complete path ... man I feel stupid | 04:05 |
| robbak | OK. I am trying to get my mobile 'broadband' operating after the upgrade to intrepid and the new Network Manager. I need to find out how to specify the device (/dev/rfcomm0) and how to get it listed in the menu so I can connect to it. Does documentation exist for this new Manager? | 04:05 |
| eightyeight | losher: no. still going through the fsck | 04:05 |
| eightyeight | losher: on Pass 1 | 04:05 |
| losher | eightyeight: ok. standing by | 04:05 |
| genii | pinkey: Are all 3 keyboard lights blinking on and off? | 04:05 |
| eightyeight | losher: when it finishes, if i still have the problem, i'll keep bugging. :) | 04:05 |
| pinkey | genii, I can get a console login if I Ctrl-Alt-F1 | 04:06 |
| cdm10 | eightyeight: is there anything in the automount documentation that would suggest a special option to avoid this? And, does this happen when you run "mount" normally? | 04:06 |
| pinkey | genii, no keys blinking | 04:06 |
| eightyeight | cdm10: i couldn't find it in the man page, and running mount normally does not cause this | 04:06 |
| the_dude | how do i open xorg.conf at the terminal | 04:06 |
| genii | pinkey: OK good no kernel panic then. What process is at top of list when you issue command: top | 04:06 |
| izinucs | the_dude, do you want to edit it or just look at it? | 04:06 |
| donavan_ | Are there any icon packs in ubuntu besides gnome-panel-launcher.svg and if not what it the easiest way to get extra icons? | 04:06 |
| the_dude | izinucs, edit it | 04:06 |
| GodfatherofEire | Quick question, on my desktop, I have several icons with bubbles with the name in them, instead of just the name, how do I get it back to just the names | 04:07 |
| izinucs | the_dude, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:07 |
| the_dude | izinucs, my login screen is outta bounds man | 04:07 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: you can change the icon set in System>Preferences>Appearance | 04:07 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: and you can download new ones at http://gnome-look.org | 04:07 |
| pinkey | genii, that would be init, but it's using 0% CPU. | 04:07 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: you'll usually get a tar.gz file, which you can drag right into the Appearances box to install. | 04:07 |
| donavan_ | cdm10: yeah I went there but honestly there directions made no sense to me | 04:07 |
| jamesish1 | the_dude: vi /path/to/xorg.conf | 04:07 |
| pinkey | genii, it's only at the top due to most memory usage. | 04:07 |
| Singer | hey | 04:08 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: went where? gnome-look? | 04:08 |
| the_dude | jamesish1, im already on it, whats dat? | 04:08 |
| jamesish1 | the_dude: what's what? | 04:08 |
| the_dude | i wanna put my login screen at 1280 man | 04:08 |
| donavan_ | cdm10: yeah | 04:08 |
| izinucs | jamesish1, your going to tell a noob to use vi? you like torture don't you :) | 04:08 |
| jamesish1 | I learned on vi. Anyone can. | 04:08 |
| genii | pinkey: Hmm. Nothing else immediate comes to mind right now to check | 04:08 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: it's up to the publisher of the theme to make the file properly installable... can you send me a link to the page of the particular theme you're talking about? | 04:08 |
| jamesish1 | My first vi session was just as painful as you can imagine. Forty minutes after I started, I managed to close the bugger. | 04:09 |
| pinkey | genii, I guess I'll poke around, but thought this might be something with a stock answer. :( | 04:09 |
| jamesish1 | IT'S OUR HERITAGE, DAMMIT | 04:09 |
| jamesish1 | ;) | 04:09 |
| robbak | OK. I am trying to get my mobile 'broadband' operating after the upgrade to intrepid and the new Network Manager. I need to find out how to specify the device (/dev/rfcomm0) and how to get it listed in the menu so I can connect to it. Does documentation exist for this new Manager? (Oh, and vi is just great!) | 04:09 |
| donavan_ | cdm10: well Im not so much looking to change the theme as get extra icons for programs that dont have any | 04:09 |
| izinucs | jamesish1, yea.. but he just wants to get something done.. not get lost learning something else... | 04:09 |
| genii | pinkey: I've had it happen before but usually the Enter or ctrl-c would bypass | 04:09 |
| Rezagrats | I'm having trouble getting k9copy to rip a video at 700MB. any ideas ? | 04:10 |
| pinkey | genii, interestingly, the only thing that /etc/rc.local does is exit with a comment (by default this script does nothing.) | 04:10 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: well, if it's just an executable in a folder like the game you were mentioning, it probably won't happen automatically... although you can manually change the icon of a launcher. | 04:10 |
| liza0 | i must be crazy i am using ubuntu with postgresql (uploading 2GB of data to it) ,apache, deluge downloading and firefox with a couple windows on the screen and streaming audio and ram usage hasn't gone over 1GB | 04:10 |
| pinkey | genii, so it's probably actually hung on whatever would be the next step. | 04:10 |
| jamesish1 | izinucs: where's your sense of adventure? ;) | 04:10 |
| the_dude | my login screen is too big, help plx | 04:10 |
| liza0 | with 3GB to spare | 04:10 |
| pinkey | genii, starting X? | 04:10 |
| dft | Visitor15, doesn't look like they'll mount from the cli with standard disk in them | 04:10 |
| izinucs | !resolution | the_dude | 04:10 |
| ubottu | the_dude: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 04:10 |
| genii | pinkey: Maybe the video is going to a different output than what you are seeing | 04:10 |
| mroc | donavan_: most icon themes at gnome-look.org will be packaged as .tar.gz files. usually, you download and save those. then just drag the .tar.gz file directly into the theme tab on the appearances window. | 04:11 |
| genii | pinkey: onboard video or second head of dual-head card, etc | 04:11 |
| donavan_ | cdm10: yeah that much I have figured out but what I cant figure out is how to actually get more icons that I have currently none of the icons really fit some of my programs and I want change them with out changing the whole theme | 04:11 |
| genii | pinkey: Yes, next thing should be gdm that it loads | 04:11 |
| GodfatherofEire | Ok, on my desktop, the icons are using bubbles with the file names inside em, any idea how I shut that off? | 04:12 |
| the_dude | izinucs, thx | 04:12 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: afaik, there's no way in the GUI to simply change the icons of some programs. | 04:12 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: wait, I take that back... if you right click on the menubar at the top, and go to Edit Menus, you can change the icons for the menu items. | 04:12 |
| izinucs | the_dude, np.. did you install the drivers from the nvidia site or use the restricted driver manager? | 04:12 |
| the_dude | izinucs, at the ubuntu manager | 04:12 |
| the_dude | izinucs, man it was everything alright and then that happened | 04:13 |
| izinucs | the_dude, weird | 04:13 |
| the_dude | izinucs, yes, i thinks its my hardware, its dying man... | 04:14 |
| izinucs | the_dude, mx440 is an old card.. I've got a couple in use myself.. | 04:14 |
| izinucs | the_dude, you might try reseating it.. sometimes that helps.. do it a couple of times.. in .. out.. in ... out.. and see what happens | 04:15 |
| pinkey | genii, thanks. I have been able to run sudo gdm restart, and it asks for resolution and allows me to configure it ... but after that it just goes back to a console and "hangs". Ctrl-alt-delete performs a normal shutdown, killing processes, etc. | 04:15 |
| badfish | anybody use dosbox? | 04:15 |
| the_dude | izinucs, should i do dat? | 04:16 |
| donavan_ | cdm10 & mroc: I think maybe I have explained this wrong... I have an application launcher the one I was talking about earlier I want to change the icon from the spring board thing to something else however I do not have any suitable icons to change it to... now I know that I can change it to something that is in the *.svg file but there is nothing there that looks right so I want a new icon/library/archive of icons that I can choos | 04:16 |
| donavan_ | e from without changing my whole theme... this should be doable being that there is a browse button | 04:16 |
| losher | Any dvd::rip users around? | 04:16 |
| izinucs | the_dude, if it's been in for a while.. ya never know.. I've done that with different cards that I thought were failing and viola! they worked again.. | 04:16 |
| the_dude | izinucs, how do i do it? | 04:16 |
| noriyuki | is anyone using intrepid already (ubuntu 8.10)? WHAT happened with the "hidd" command!!?? I installed bluez-utils already and it keeps saying it is not found and I need to install bluez utils any help??? | 04:16 |
| GodfatherofEire | Any idea what settings I might've messed up to have bubbles around the icon names on my system? | 04:17 |
| izinucs | noriyuki, check #ubuntu+1 for intrepid | 04:17 |
| cdm10 | noriyuki: see #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid help | 04:17 |
| cdm10 | izinucs: you win :P | 04:17 |
| Earthpig | StartUp Manager Problem: hello, ubuntu people smarter than me.... i think i got myself in trouble: i changed some stuff around in 'startup manager' and then saved/closed it.... and the "Performing post-configuration tasks" window thing has been doing its thing for about 5 minutes. i didn't start it from a terminal, so i cant say what the terminal output is..... kinda worried about closing it and screwing up my grub. | 04:17 |
| mroc | donavan_: oh. when you click the spring icon to change it, at the top of that icon selection window there's a browse option. just point it to the image you'd like to use | 04:17 |
| donavan_ | mroc: any image ? | 04:18 |
| the_dude | izinucs, how do i do it? | 04:18 |
| mroc | donavan_: i'm not exactly sure of the restrictions... | 04:18 |
| moontiger | hi :) | 04:18 |
| moontiger | does anybody know if the firefox 3 font issues will be resolved in 8.10? | 04:19 |
| losher | !dvd | 04:19 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 04:19 |
| moontiger | dvd95 is also good for dvd backups | 04:19 |
| Flannel | moontiger: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks. | 04:20 |
| losher | moontiger: thanks | 04:20 |
| GodfatherofEire | So, no one has any idea what I messed up? | 04:20 |
| moontiger | sorry thnx | 04:21 |
| moontiger | :) | 04:21 |
| losher | GodfatherofEire: when all else fails, try google? | 04:21 |
| GodfatherofEire | Tried that, but all I get from my search is error-bubble related problems | 04:22 |
| donavan_ | mroc: Thanks I got it figured out | 04:22 |
| GodfatherofEire | I did recently modify the Gnome color chooser settings, and it was fine before that, but I looked over the settings and they're the same as they were before | 04:22 |
| donavan_ | cdm10: thanks for your help | 04:22 |
| cdm10 | donavan_: no problem, sorry I couldn't get you through everything. | 04:23 |
| mroc | donavan_: didn't do much...but you're welcome. | 04:23 |
| the_dude | can someone help me? | 04:23 |
| pinkey | genii, weird. I was able to switch to the console, and just startx and it just worked fine. From there I could click install and it's going from there. Strange that it couldn't do that on its own. | 04:23 |
| owh | Hiya, never done this, so I thought I'd ask before I break some stuff seriously. Have a ubuntu server in production that is running samba without domain logons. All users are connected as guests. I want to migrate to it being a domain server, but I don't want to break everything immediately... | 04:23 |
| owh | I want to turn domain logons on, but before I do, will this kill all the clients, require accounts or any such major impact, or can I just turn it on and the clients will be able to connect as they have as a guest? | 04:23 |
| * owh is slowly bringing this network into the 21st century :) | 04:23 | |
| owh | Where might I locate a process that will allow me to migrate from this essentially peer-to-peer environment into one where the server is a pdc? | 04:24 |
| genii | pinkey: Sounds like some issue with gdm setup or installation | 04:24 |
| izinucs | the_dude, well if it is a seperate card in a agp slot then open the case of the computer and locate it. check to see if there is a tab or something at the back end of the card to help release it.. gently pull it straight out | 04:24 |
| the_dude | izinucs, i dont think so man, id like to restart it like you said man, what do you think? | 04:24 |
| izinucs | the_dude, restart it? how do you mean | 04:25 |
| the_dude | izinucs, you said, i could restart the driver or something... | 04:25 |
| izinucs | the_dude, you might be better off installing nvidia-settings.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 04:26 |
| the_dude | izinucs, you mean, disable the actual driver? | 04:27 |
| pinkey | genii, it definitely is a problem with installation! (I'm booting from the live install CD when this happens, trying to install it.) | 04:27 |
| izinucs | the_dude, no.. nvidia-settings gives you better control over the driver allowing you to change resolution and other things. | 04:27 |
| genii | pinkey: Try vga mode | 04:27 |
| robbak | OK. I am trying to get my mobile 'broadband' operating after the upgrade to intrepid and the new Network Manager. I need to find out how to specify the device (/dev/rfcomm0) and how to get it listed in the menu so I can connect to it. Does documentation exist for this new Manager? | 04:28 |
| the_dude | izinucs, so whre can i find that on ubuntu | 04:28 |
| the_dude | ? | 04:28 |
| mroc | robbak: have you asked in ubuntu+1? because that's for intrepid questions | 04:28 |
| izinucs | the_dude, Applications/accessories/terminal once open type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings.. after it's installed you'll find it under System/admin/Nvidia x server settings | 04:29 |
| the_dude | izinucs, thanks man, installing | 04:30 |
| Dirus | is there going to be a beta 2 or do only alphas get versioned releases? | 04:31 |

| macvr | hi all .... anyone having problems after updating the new kernels? | 04:32 |
| cdm10 | Dirus: er, "Alpha 2" refers to the second alpha, not Alpha, version 2. There isn't a Beta 2 planned. | 04:32 |
| izinucs | the_dude, ctrl+alt+backspace | 04:32 |

| jamesish | I heard that ubuntu is good because you don't have to learn vi any more. Is that true? | 04:43 |
| owh | jamesish: No :) | 04:43 |
| scunizi | jamesish, only if you want. | 04:43 |

| tarelerulz | I used paa for banshee to get some new features ,but how to tell the different between the version in Ubuntu's normal repository and the new version in paa ? | 04:46 |
| owh | Guest93508: The nfs mount you're bringing up isn't something strange like root or var is it? | 04:46 |
| scunizi | tarelerulz, Help/About look at version number | 04:46 |
| Guest93508 | owh, there's 3. /var/www, /media/500GB and /media/200GB | 04:46 |
| genii | tarelerulz: apt-cache policy <packagename> lists the repos they are in as well | 04:47 |
| Guest93508 | owh, and then a couple of bind mounts from /var/www to user's desktops. | 04:47 |
| maco | genii: rmadison lists the versions in each official repo in each ubuntu release | 04:47 |
| owh | Guest93508: I'm looking at a gutsy machine atm, and I'm seeing /etc/init.d/waitnfs.sh | 04:48 |
| Guest93508 | owh, what is that? | 04:48 |
| owh | Guest93508: That seems to indicate that it waits for the mount until the network is up. | 04:48 |
| Dryanta | CorbinFox: I have put you on a permanent ignore, public and private. I have found you disturbing, rude and generally not worth talking to. According to the channels you hang on, it strengtens the effect of wanting to put you on ignore because of my lack of interest in you as a person. This message is not meant to be rude to you, just to inform you that i won't see anything of what you type from now on. | 04:48 |
| Guest93508 | owh, well the nfs mounts are fine, it's the bind mounts that are dependent on the nfs mount that's a problem. | 04:48 |
| owh | Guest93508: Ah, lemmie guess, they don't look like nfs mounts because you're mounting something from a mounted tree onto another tree, or am I misunderstanding what you're saying? | 04:49 |
| Guest93508 | owh, i'm guessing the nfs mount being the problem, i can't really think of another reason why the bind mounts wouldn't be working. | 04:49 |
| Guest93508 | owh, i don't know what you mean.. | 04:50 |
| tarelerulz | How do you keep Ubuntu version of the program and the version of the program the makes straight ? Once you get into adding paa and so on. | 04:50 |
| jamesish | But isn't vi necessary for system startup? | 04:50 |
| jamesish | How will I boot my ubuntu if I don't know it? | 04:50 |
| maco | Dryanta: from what i can see, he's only in this channel. and you broke channel rules with your language. so...i'd say you were the one in the wrong | 04:50 |
| owh | Guest93508: So, your nfs mount mounts a big disk, and the home directories are mounted from the mounted tree? | 04:50 |
| scunizi | jamesish, vi is an editor.. not it's not necessary | 04:50 |
| jamesish | Are you sure? I thought that to do something to the startup, I needed vi? | 04:51 |
| Dryanta | maco: Did You Know? After maintaining a vow of silence for almost 7 years, Red Hat Linux founder Marc Ewing now freely admits that he named Red Hat Linux after Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst's trademark red New York Yankees baseball cap. Durst and Ewing met in Ewing's hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina (Durst was raised in Gastonia, NC), where they became fast friends, sharing the same passion for low-level system programming. Durst collaborated wit | 04:51 |

| jamesish | Then why is it in the base system? | 04:52 |
| Dryanta | jamesish: well vi is part of the posix standard | 04:52 |
| Dryanta | so i dont think so | 04:52 |
| genii | jamesish: Because visudo and vipasswd use it as backend | 04:53 |
| the_dude | macd, no man, i my sound is turned on man... | 04:53 |
| jamesish | Sounds like I need it to start up, then. | 04:53 |
| Dryanta | jamesish: yeah vi /etc/master passwd | 04:53 |
| jamesish | I mean, doesn't posix tell unix how to be unix? Seems necessary. | 04:53 |
| the_dude | maco, no man, i my sound is turned on man... | 04:53 |
| Dryanta | then tyoe ]] | 04:53 |
| dhng | I have /boot in a separate partition, and I deleted some files in that directory while in GNOME. Are the deleted files deleted or just put in the recycling bin? | 04:53 |
| Dryanta | o | 04:53 |
| owh | dhng: Look in ~/.Trash | 04:54 |
| maco | the_dude: run "alsamixer" and make sure master, front, pcm, ...pretty much everything, is up and nothing has MM at the bottom of its slider | 04:54 |
| Guest32563 | ok, now what's the move command? >.< | 04:54 |
| maco | owh: i think that directory is gone now | 04:54 |
| mage__ | how can i see what arch the package system is using? I've got a dell mini9 laptop and i cant use i386 packages with it | 04:54 |
| maco | Guest32563: mv | 04:54 |
| Guest32563 | thanks | 04:54 |
| dhng | owh: that directory doesn't exist. | 04:54 |
| owh | maco: Hmm, dunno. | 04:54 |
| jsoftw | Why is vi nessisary to start the system? | 04:54 |
| jsoftw | I need to know this. | 04:54 |
| Dryanta | and type dryanta::0:0::00:/usr/bin/bash | 04:54 |
| mage__ | lol what | 04:54 |
| maco | jsoftw: huh? it's not | 04:54 |
| mage__ | jsoftw: do tell | 04:55 |
| jsoftw | Oh. | 04:55 |
| owh | jsoftw: It is not. | 04:55 |
| jsoftw | My bad. | 04:55 |
| jamesish | Um, yeah it is. | 04:55 |
| scunizi | jsoftw, it's noot | 04:55 |
| jamesish | I uninstalled it and my system wouldn't start. | 04:55 |
| dhng | owh: the boot partition is supposed to have 200MB, but currently it shows 193 MB being used and it's already full | 04:55 |
| crimsun | dngr: check ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 04:55 |
| mage__ | hahaha | 04:55 |
| maco | jamesish: did you uninstall other stuff? | 04:55 |
| crimsun | dngr: sorry. | 04:55 |
| owh | jamesish: That's not because you need it, it's because the system needs it. | 04:55 |
| jamesish | maco: no. I just uninstalled it the normal way. | 04:55 |
| mage__ | whys the system need vi? | 04:55 |
| maco | crimsun: saw me trying to help someone with sound and decided to pop up, did ya? | 04:55 |
| jamesish | I did a sudo rm -rf /bin/ | 04:55 |
| crimsun | dhng: check ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 04:55 |
| owh | mage__: Because it's a dependency. | 04:55 |
| maco | jamesish: that's the normal way? news to me... | 04:55 |
| owh | jamesish: That's very, very foolish. | 04:56 |
| jamesish | maco: it uninstalled it nicely. | 04:56 |
| dhng | crimsun: nothing in there | 04:56 |
| maco | i'm gonna go with | 04:56 |
| maco | !danger | 04:56 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 04:56 |
| jamesish | owh: system wouldn't start without vi any more. | 04:56 |
| scunizi | jamesish, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi | 04:56 |
| mage__ | owh: well i mean what uses it? | 04:56 |
| Dryanta | jsoftw: did you do this yet? | 04:56 |
| * owh thinks jamesish is trolling. | 04:56 | |
| Guest32563 | Is there any way I can give myself permissions to this folder so I can move files into it? The folder is /home/.pystromo | 04:56 |
| jamesish | Yeah, wihtout vi I had no screen any more. | 04:56 |
| jamesish | It's the screen editor. | 04:56 |
| jsoftw | Dryanta: do what | 04:56 |
| Dryanta | its important for me to know | 04:56 |
| crimsun | maco: no, feel free to handle that one. | 04:57 |
| dhng | I had to be a superuser to delete stuff from /boot, and I'm not sure if it's deleted or just sent somewhere | 04:57 |
| * scunizi thinks there is a troll in our presence | 04:57 | |
| mRCUTEO | how can i search for a string in a folder? | 04:57 |
| Dryanta | jamesish: yeah vipwd | 04:57 |
| the_dude | macd, what you said is turned up | 04:57 |
| owh | jamesish: No, it is nothing to do with the fact that you removed vi, it's because you removed all the other applications in the /bin directory. | 04:57 |
| dngr | yea nothing in the trash!! | 04:57 |
| dngr | :) | 04:57 |
| Dryanta | then tyoe ]] | 04:57 |
| maco | dhng: if its done with rm, it's gone-gone | 04:57 |
| owh | scunizi: Yup. | 04:57 |
| jsoftw | ubottu: what command? | 04:57 |
| Dryanta | and type dryanta::0:0::00:/usr/bin/bash | 04:57 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:57 |
| jamesish | owh: then why did it only happen when I removed vi? | 04:57 |
| Dryanta | its important for this to be done | 04:57 |
| the_dude | maco, and abe's has no sound, neither zsnes | 04:57 |
| dhng | maco: it's done within gnome | 04:57 |
| owh | mRCUTEO: Using the grep command. | 04:57 |
| maco | jamesish: because you're a troll and the command you just said deletes vi and a whole TON of other very important system binaries | 04:58 |
| jamesish | maco: seriously? | 04:58 |
| Guest32563 | what is the command to give myself permissions on a directory? | 04:58 |
| dhng | maco: I want it to be gone so that it doesn't take up space in /boot | 04:58 |
| Highlander1 | I need help with a virtual box issue on ubuntu... I have that channel open but no one is responding ..... | 04:58 |
| Dryanta | scunizi: you mean like the dudes who hang out under bridges that are unsavory and collect tolls with riddles and the like? | 04:58 |
| fluffycloud12345 | holy moly there is a bunch of you | 04:58 |
| mage__ | jamesish: its like del C:\windows\* ;) | 04:58 |
| jamesish | maco: how do I remove vi, then? I mean, what the hell? | 04:58 |
| maco | dhng: check for hidden files in /boot then | 04:58 |
| scunizi | owh, good too... started out innocent enough then accelerated into unbelieveability | 04:58 |
| mRCUTEO | owh: is this correct : grep "myname" <myfolder>? | 04:58 |
| mage__ | jamesish: apt-get remove vim | 04:58 |
| maco | jamesish: with apt, as any sane person would do it | 04:58 |
| jamesish | maco: but I didn't install it with apt. | 04:58 |
| scunizi | Dryanta, or some dirivitive thereof | 04:58 |
| dhng | maco: how do I do that? | 04:58 |
| maco | jamesish: of course you did. how do you think it got installed to begin with? | 04:58 |
| the_dude | maco, now turned up everything | 04:59 |
| jamesish | maco: it wasn't really vi anyway, it was some stupid tiny version. I wanted to replace it with something powerful, like notepad++ | 04:59 |
| owh | mRCUTEO: Well, you probably want to use -r to get all the files, or put an asterisk after the folder name. | 04:59 |
| Dryanta | i think you mean derivative | 04:59 |
| argos | hola amigos | 04:59 |
| jamesish | maco: it was there by default! | 04:59 |
| argos | hay alguien que hable español ? | 04:59 |
| maco | jamesish: would you delete C:\Program Files\ to get rid of Firefox on Windows? | 04:59 |
| owh | scunizi: Yeah, right until the bit where it wouldn't boot :) | 04:59 |
| Dryanta | argos: hola, como estas, buenos noches. esta muey bien? | 04:59 |
| maco | jamesish: yes, it was there by default because the defaul system uses apt | 04:59 |
| jamesish | maco: seriously, check it out. Install ubuntu, then type in "vi somefile". It's right there. | 04:59 |
| genii | !es | argos | 04:59 |
| ubottu | argos: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 04:59 |
| maco | jamesish: and Notepad++ is a windows app, i believe | 04:59 |
| maco | jamesish: vi is also a symlink to vim | 04:59 |
| jamesish | maco: no, course not. That'd be a stupid thing to do. | 04:59 |
| maco | jamesish: and vim-full was available for instal | 04:59 |
| jamesish | maco: you sure? | 04:59 |
| the_dude | help - my games doest have any sound | 04:59 |
| argos | y si es que nesesito un poco de orientacion | 04:59 |
| maco | jamesish: well deleting /bin/ is the same as deleting C:\Program Files\ | 04:59 |
| argos | pero de todas maneras gracias por responder | 04:59 |
| Guest32563 | When I try to copy a directory from one location to another, I get "cp: omitting directory `/home/titan/.pystromo' " what does that mean? | 04:59 |
| Dryanta | argos: no nesesito me amigo | 05:00 |
| maco | !es | argos | 05:00 |
| ubottu | argos: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 05:00 |
| Flannel | jamesish: check out SciTE, its similar to notepad++ (they both use Scintilla) | 05:00 |
| RHorse | !audio | the_dude | 05:00 |
| ubottu | the_dude: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:00 |
| tarelerulz | Have any of you used Banshee for videos and songs? | 05:00 |
| scunizi | maco, stop.. egging.. him.. on | 05:00 |
| crimsun | jamesish: vim-tiny is present because it's seeded by default in ubuntu-minimal. | 05:00 |
| owh | Flannel: Don't feed the troll. | 05:00 |
| jamesish | maco: SERIOUSLY? What the hell??? | 05:00 |
| maco | the_dude: #ubuntu-audio-help | 05:00 |
| the_dude | RHorse, thx | 05:00 |
| jamesish | maco: no wonder it wouldn't boot! | 05:00 |
| Dryanta | srsly | 05:00 |
| jamesish | maco: I didn't realise vi was that important! That it shouldn't be erased! | 05:00 |
| RHorse | the_dude, np | 05:01 |
| maco | jamesish: that's not vi, you troll | 05:01 |
| jamesish | maco: makes sense now. vi is like c:/program files! | 05:01 |
| maco | jamesish: no, vi is a text editor, and /bin/ is a directory | 05:01 |
| bauer77 | there are still trolls...lol | 05:01 |
| Ven]n | ive created a usb key with ubuntu and ext3. i then figured i wanted to split it into two partitions, so i used gparted to make 500mb of the usb key to fat32.. problem is that windows cant read that partition.. any ideas? | 05:01 |

| Flannel | owh: In the future, stop by #ubuntu-ops and let us know theres people causing trouble | 05:01 |
| owh | dhng: By deleting it, you removed any chance of recovering any files that were in it. | 05:01 |
| Dryanta | bauer77: you mean like the dudes who hang out under bridges that are unsavory and collect tolls with riddles and the like? | 05:01 |
| Dryanta | and from time to time eat children? | 05:02 |

| dhng | what's the ideal size for the /boot partition? | 05:05 |
| maco | Guest32563: cp -r ...r for recursion | 05:05 |
| RHorse | croddy, Settings, Preference, Chatting, alerts has a check box in Version 2.8.7c | 05:07 |
| Guest32563 | maco, I don't understand | 05:07 |
| maco | Guest32563: cp is for single files. to copy a directory *and everything in it* you need "cp -r" | 05:07 |
| Guest32563 | oh ok | 05:08 |
| croddy | RHorse, thanks, i am on 2.8.6, i'll build the later version | 05:08 |
| Guest32563 | thanks | 05:08 |

| fluffycloud12345 | I just read today that U has a certification, called UCP. Pretty cool. | 05:12 |
| bauer77 | so does microsoft called MCP..jk | 05:12 |
| bauer77 | lol | 05:12 |
| bauer77 | sorry I am feeling fresh tonight | 05:13 |
| fluffycloud12345 | it happens | 05:13 |
| maco | fluffycloud12345: requires LPIC-1 first | 05:13 |
| upgrdman | when i use my scroll wheel on my desktop it switches my workspace. i want to disable this, and found a post of the forums saying to go to "ccsm -> viewport switcher -> actions -> desktop-based viewport switching -> move next & move prev" ... where is ccsm?? | 05:13 |
| maco | fluffycloud12345: i missed the chance at getting LPIC-1 this weekend because i overslept :( | 05:13 |
| fluffycloud12345 | one sec | 05:14 |
| maco | upgrdman: its compizconfig-settings-manager ...install it if you dont have it | 05:14 |
| kr00l | I need help mounting an image file | 05:14 |
| Halycon | Does anyone know how to change the default soundcard I am trying to use a Plantronics USB Headset and the sound comes out of my regular speakers and also the recording doesn't work | 05:15 |
| upgrdman | maco: thanks | 05:15 |
| dhng | how do I generate a new xorg.conf file? | 05:15 |
| maco | Halycon: the volume applet should let you choose | 05:15 |
| tarelerulz | Banshee is great. It does videos and music library management . You can search your movies like you would songs . The play back is bit bugy ,but you can get it to work. | 05:16 |
| crimsun | maco: s/volume applet/sound control center applet/ | 05:16 |
| Halycon | maco: I am not quite sure what to set everything too | 05:17 |
| maco | crimsun: s/volume applet/the speaker button on the panel thingy/ | 05:17 |
| Halycon | maco: I tried to change it to the plantroincs thing | 05:18 |
| Halycon | and it still didnt work | 05:18 |
| dhng | if my xorg.conf file is messed up, how do I generate a new file? | 05:18 |
| zoid01 | just did some updates, new kernel.. poof, no more wireless. device eth1 not found | 05:18 |
| crimsun | Halycon: if you're using pulseaudio, then install pavucontrol, and use that. | 05:18 |
| wall-e | chubbz? | 05:18 |
| genii | dhng: If you remove or rename it a new one should be created | 05:18 |
| Halycon | zoid01: that happend to me once | 05:19 |
| fluffycloud12345 | Maco: sorry about that, I had a phone call. So you need LPIC-1 before you can test for UCP? | 05:19 |
| Halycon | I think I just did that update as well | 05:19 |
| maco | fluffycloud12345: yes. LPIC is a distro-agnostic junior sysadmin-level exam | 05:19 |
| zoid01 | Halycon: its iwl3945 so problematic anyway, but for the device to not even be recognized is a little wacky | 05:19 |
| maco | fluffycloud12345: er, LPIC-1 is junior sysadmin level | 05:19 |
| wall-e | i just successfully installed ubuntu. the problem is that i am not about to establish a network connection on the desktop directly attached to a router. How can i get network connection on the desktop?? | 05:20 |
| maco | fluffycloud12345: -2 is intermediate/senior sysadmin, and 3 is expert in a particular field | 05:20 |
| zoid01 | tho it shows up in lspci... | 05:20 |
| Halycon | crimsun: how do I tell if I am using pulseaudio. I saw some stuff for it but there is ALSA and a whole bunch of other stuff, currently I am playing music in Rhythmbox and it is coming from my speakers | 05:20 |
| wall-e | i just successfully installed ubuntu. the problem is that i am not able to establish a network connection on the desktop directly attached to a router. How can i get network connection on the desktop?? | 05:20 |
| ubuntu_todd | how to set set the focus policy to "focus follows mouse"? | 05:20 |
| maco | !patience | wall-e | 05:20 |
| ubottu | wall-e: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:20 |
| crimsun | Halycon: in a Terminal, type: pgrep -c -x pulseaudio | 05:21 |
| wall-e | ok sry | 05:21 |
| crimsun | Halycon: tell me what number is printed | 05:21 |
| wall-e | i just successfully installed ubuntu. the problem is that i am not able to establish a network connection on the desktop directly attached to a router. How can i get network connection on the desktop? | 05:21 |
| fluffycloud12345 | Maco: thats awesome... I did not know about that.... So LPIC-1 is needed b4 you test Ubuntu 199 and become Ubuntu Certified Professional? Sorry to sound redundant but I am not familiar with this exam schedule. | 05:21 |
| DCPom | wall-e, DUDE | 05:21 |
| wall-e | im just putting the question out there if anyone wants to read | 05:22 |
| wall-e | relax | 05:22 |
| wall-e | i am just waiting | 05:22 |
| Halycon | crimsun: the number one is printed | 05:22 |
| maco | fluffycloud12345: right. lpic-1 is two tests for 1 cert. there are about 18 topics covered, i think | 05:22 |
| Halycon | pgrep | 05:22 |
| Halycon | woops | 05:22 |
| DCPom | you aren't, you repeated it 3 times in 3 minutes | 05:22 |
| wall-e | oh k | 05:22 |
| crimsun | Halycon: then you're using it, so you probably want to install pavucontrol | 05:22 |
| fluffycloud12345 | Maco: where could I get study material on it? | 05:22 |
| croddy | wall-e, could you repeat what you said three times earlier please? my xchat is highlighting it for some reason, along with a lot of other things. i've changed my alert list and i would like to test to see whether it worked. | 05:22 |
| croddy | (i am serious) | 05:22 |
| maco | fluffycloud12345: lets go to PMs to stop messing up the channel | 05:23 |
| wall-e | do you have any info that you can help dcpom? | 05:23 |
| wall-e | no croddy | 05:23 |
| DCPom | wall-e, is it a wireless connection, and did you read the ubuntu docs on it? | 05:23 |
| croddy | or could someone else repeat it? i'd do it myself, but it won't highlight me | 05:23 |
| wall-e | dcpom my macbook is connected through wireless. the desktop computer is connected to a ethernet cable which is connected to a router. | 05:24 |
| DCPom | wall-e, i have the same set up | 05:24 |
| DCPom | wall-e, except with an ibook | 05:24 |
| croddy2 | i can't believe it's come to this. | 05:25 |
| wall-e | ok dcpom, can you try and help establish a network connection on my desktop that is connected to an ethernet directly? | 05:25 |
| croddy2 | i just successfully installed ubuntu. the problem is that i am not able to establish a network connection on the desktop directly attached to a router. How can i get network connection on the desktop? | 05:25 |
| croddy | problem solved | 05:25 |
| DCPom | !spam | croddy | 05:25 |
| ubottu | croddy: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu <keyword>): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !Caps, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... | 05:25 |
| mgutz | #merb | 05:25 |
| croddy | it's not spam, as i said earlier, i was testing a problem with spurious xchat highlights. | 05:25 |
| DCPom | wall-e, it's probably something to do with your system prefs on the macbook | 05:25 |
| DCPom | croddy, it IS spam, it's not related to ubuntu | 05:25 |
| croddy | it is, because i am running xchat on ubuntu. | 05:26 |
| wall-e | well my network name has a password that comes to it | 05:26 |
| wall-e | but the ubuntu is not on my macbook | 05:26 |
| wall-e | it is on the desktop | 05:26 |
| wall-e | connected to a ethernet | 05:26 |
| DCPom | wall-e, that's not important, do you want to go to a PM? | 05:26 |
| wall-e | yes please | 05:26 |
| Theeb | hello, is it possible to have the new openoffice.org 3.0 on ubuntu? because the one in add/remove is 2.4 | 05:27 |
| ToddEDM | quick question... anyone here play COD4 on linux? | 05:27 |
| mroc | Theeb: well, you could wait and see if it shows up in the backports repository, or you could download and install the .deb at openoffice.org | 05:28 |
| x264 | Hi... how do I match two or more conditions in regex? For example a sentence that contains both the words "linux" and "windows". I checked the manual but I see only an operator to match either one of the strings, but not both | 05:28 |
| jamesish | Theeb: you can install it from the deb files if you download them from openoffice.org, but it's better to wait for them to show up in the repos; last time I did that, I ended up actually breaking a few things on my box. | 05:28 |
| jamesish | x234: does the logical or operator exist in the language you're using? | 05:28 |
| Theeb | ya i will wait, hope it will be there soon :p | 05:28 |
| Theeb | when did the 3.0 come out? | 05:29 |
| jamesish | A couple of days ago | 05:29 |
| x264 | jamesish, I'm not sure | 05:30 |
| jamesish | x264: what are you writing this in? | 05:30 |
| RHorse | wow, i've never seen the group get so slow. let me savor the moment! | 05:32 |
| x264 | jamesish: Uh.. no language in particular.. I was reading about regex and didn't see an AND operator, which seemed strange | 05:32 |
| wartalke1 | when i use aireplay-ng -9 wlan0, system freeze. my wireless driver is iwl3945, help | 05:32 |
| jamesish | x264: I think it's just the normal | that'll do it. Try it out somewhere. | 05:33 |
| x264 | jamesish: I tried | in a program that tests Regex expressions. It matches either one of the strings, not both | 05:33 |

| marupa_ | Here's a stumper...I had five drives in my desktop a little while ago, one wasn't working (tick of death) but was still being powered. Just had unplugged the sata leading to it. I have a 500w thermaltake powersupply. I take out the bad drive and add another, for a total of six working drives. I have added one fan and a fan controller. When I boot up everything seems normal, but I seem to be experiencing intermittent lag on X. I'm not | 05:35 |

| SeeknDestroy | Look at the percentages, not the bars... try adjusting antennae as well, but different OS/version has on impact on signal strength | 05:53 |
| whileimhere | SeeknDestroy I seem to get a weaker signal and the only change is the os not the hardware. | 05:53 |

| AllNewToMe | Does anyone else know? | 06:26 |
| Lartza_ | jim_p: i need java | 06:26 |
| tarelerulz | Jim_P : Sorry I did not make that clearer . What you need to do is put " ip blocking on Ubuntu" into google's search box and it will come up with iplist which is the name of an ip blocking program . It has great gui and it is easy to use . It is better then mobock with a gui . | 06:27 |
| Lartza_ | i installed gcj-java-compat and gcjwebplugin(from firefox) and it complains about missing plugins | 06:27 |
| jim_p | Lartza_: install suns java, thats what firefox wants | 06:27 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about firewalol | 06:40 |
| DCPom | !firewall | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 06:40 |
| Bobbino | and you can get something like Firestarter so you have a gui interface for it... | 06:40 |

| DCPom | Lartza_, what's the difference between gcj and legitimate java | 07:05 |
| night | can cinelerra work in opengeu | 07:05 |
| maco | jay-menon: is youtube all you need flash for? if so, try swfdec-mozilla | 07:05 |

| PoisonArrow_ | so is there no way to upgrade to the new kernel 2.6.27? | 07:06 |
| DCPom | i thought sun made java open recently | 07:06 |
| Lartza_ | and this is also kinda principal thing | 07:06 |

| maco | jay-menon: no, swfdec is an open source flash library, and swfdec-mozilla is the plugin for firefox. it's not as good at random flash as adobe's is, but it works well with pulseaudio so you dont have to hack about for working audio, and it works for youtube. also doesnt auto-play flash ads, so its like flash block extension rolled in | 07:10 |

| jay-menon | DCPom, any idea to solve this | 07:59 |
| soreau | zetheroo: Atheros? | 07:59 |
| DCPom | jay-menon, not yet... | 07:59 |
| dulakian | psicobra: fdisk -l /dev/sdc would show you the partitions you can mount | 07:59 |
| zetheroo | soreau : yes ... ar242* | 08:00 |
| dulakian | psicobra: you mount the partition, not the drive | 08:00 |
| psicobra | gotcha nice 1 | 08:00 |
| soreau | zetheroo: Then you need to reinstall your drivers.. how did you install them in the first place? | 08:00 |
| psicobra | how do i set it to auto mount | 08:00 |
| lodder | psicobra: add it to fstab | 08:00 |
| zetheroo | soreau : gosh .. I don't recall .... | 08:00 |
| dulakian | psicobra: sudo nano /etc/fstab | 08:00 |
| go_beep_yourself | psicobra-> man fstab | 08:00 |
| jay-menon | Thanks DCPom... I am completely new to linux world... so sorry for any inconvenience caused by me | 08:01 |

| soreau | zetheroo: Ok, where do you have the source located in your file system? | 08:02 |
| zetheroo | not sure | 08:02 |
| zetheroo | soreau: not sure | 08:02 |
| crdlb | lodder: nope, but #ubuntu+1 would be the place for questions about intrepid | 08:02 |

| Ademan | anyone here have a lenovo ideapad s10? I wanna know how the keyboard is... I had the opportunity to check out a recent lenovo of a similar shape/design and i thought the keyboard felt mushy, although the keys were large enough... The mushiness could have been because it was a floor model and had suffered through some abuse... so I'd like to hear some first hand stuff | 08:20 |
| jim_p | Willwork4foo: is it 1 keyboard shortcut or more? | 08:20 |

| lakhra | there is a special "Unlock" button inside that program | 08:58 |
| error404notfound | jim_p: yes.. but then what could be problem.. | 08:58 |
| lakhra | cool | 08:58 |
| error404notfound | jim_p: its still stuck there... | 08:58 |
| lakhra | now, can anyone tell me a good reliable working DNS server in germanya? :) | 08:58 |
| jim_p | error404notfound: you can remove the "quiet" and "splash" options from the kernel booting line and check where it stops | 08:58 |
| lakhra | ah, and preferably open for the public ;) | 08:58 |
| error404notfound | jim_p: okay... | 08:59 |
| jim_p | error404notfound: or you can install bootchart and lose 30 minutes for a reboot so as to have it make a chart that shows the delays | 08:59 |
| error404notfound | jim_p: sorry? | 08:59 |
| jim_p | error404notfound: bootchart is an app that records to an image all activity done during boot. you will see tha image and figure out where the huge delay is. eg http://www.bootchart.org/images/bootchart.initial.png | 09:01 |
| abby87 | hello, i had a question , when one upgrades from 7.10 to hardy does ubuntu automatically update menu.lst? | 09:01 |
| jim_p | abby87: yes | 09:01 |
| jim_p | abby87: because a new kernel is added | 09:02 |
| abby87 | jim_p: i am triaging this bug http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770449 here | 09:02 |

| abby87 | jim_p: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/206557 | 09:02 |
| abby87 | jim_p: could it be a case where the distro is upgraded but it shows the wrong version in menu.lst? | 09:03 |
| jim_p | abby87: can you add it on your own? | 09:03 |
| jim_p | abby87: what kernels appear there? | 09:04 |
| abby87 | jim_p: well its not my case but the user who has reported that bug | 09:04 |

| bullgard4 | Totem Movie Player 2.22.1 does not play a video which I have downloaded from youtube. I can see the outset frame. The status bar reports: "Playing 0:00/3:35" but it actually is not playing. How to troubleshoot? | 09:05 |
| ubuntu_todd | where is the folder for downloaded files after i use wget something? | 09:05 |

| jim_p | bullgard4: there is a library that allows playing flv files. i dont remember the name. it is installed with mplayer though | 09:12 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-mirror | 09:19 |

| lakhra | jim_p: interestingly, though, this other dns server seems to block some sites | 09:20 |
| jim_p | :( | 09:21 |
| slowlearner | jim_p apt-mirror wont work.. because then the sources should still then be on a network to work | 09:21 |

| ech0dish | or better yet do, sudo apt-get remove * | 09:23 |
| sentiece | i downloaded a cd while not thinking about that conundrum | 09:23 |
| sentiece | i know it prevents eject | 09:24 |
| ech0dish | you'll need another cd-rw | 09:24 |
| ech0dish | external usb if on a lappy | 09:24 |
| sentiece | cant i move it to swap or something | 09:24 |
| ech0dish | if you have a usb jump drive just stick it on their | 09:24 |
| jim_p | ech0dish: can you boot the live cd to ram? | 09:24 |
| ech0dish | or perhaps send it over your local network to another machine | 09:24 |
| sentiece | my 64 bit mothboard died so i cant boot my 64 bit os | 09:25 |
| sentiece | cant i move the live os to swap or something? | 09:25 |
| ech0dish | upload it to megaupload perhaps, no you can't put it in the swap | 09:25 |
| ech0dish | perhaps you can use a partition tool and make a storage partiton and put it on there | 09:27 |
| ech0dish | the music cd that is | 09:27 |
| sentiece | no its a ubuntu cd | 09:27 |

| ech0dish | whats your phone number | 09:30 |

| olskolirc | im a few days new to the gimp. I clicked paintbrush and I don't see where i can pick my size brush. Also, where did all of those panels go that came on first run of the gimp program? | 09:30 |

| brunner | I just need it to ring | 09:30 |

| jointman | Hello. I just installed Hardy Heron 8.04. I originally had Xubutu Feisty 7.04 and Windows XP. When I installed Xubuntu Hardy Heron I chose the option "guided partitition" and let it do it's thing. It seems that my Windows partition was deleted in the process. What happened here? | 09:30 |
| brunner | I need my end to ring | 09:30 |
| ikonia | brunner: teh test call rings your end | 09:30 |
| brunner | ikonia: how? | 09:31 |
| ikonia | brunner: use the test call, it will ring and then speak to you | 09:31 |
| brunner | ech0dish: chris.brunner | 09:31 |
| brunner | ikonia: I'm starting to get frustrated. I need it to call *me*. | 09:31 |
| sentiece | i dont see the cd in my mtab | 09:31 |
| ech0dish | he wants to test a custom ringtone ikonia | 09:31 |
| Werdna | brunner: you use skype? | 09:31 |
| ikonia | ech0dish then this is not the channel for that | 09:32 |
| trilobit` | jointman: You might have chosen the option to use entire disk for your installation. | 09:32 |
| ech0dish | i have to install one second brunner | 09:32 |
| brunner | Werdna: why would I ask for someone to call me on skype if I wasn't a skype user? how would I even get the call? | 09:32 |
| MrColor | server irc.onlinebg.biz | 09:32 |
| sentiece | how can i forcibly unmount the livecd | 09:32 |
| Werdna | I didn't know that you werent' a skype user :) | 09:32 |
| ikonia | sentiece what do you mean, mouont it | 09:32 |
| brunner | ech0dish: you don't need to go to all that trouble. surely there is someone who would be willing to punch in my username and hit call. | 09:32 |
| sentiece | unmount it | 09:32 |
| brunner | who already has it installed | 09:32 |
| jointman | trilobit: I know I chose Guided Partition. Perhaps it has something to do with my GRUB program? | 09:33 |
| sentiece | so i can burn a cd bit the drive | 09:33 |
| ikonia | sentiece are you using the livecd ? | 09:33 |
| ech0dish | well i could use my nokia n800 but i dont' feel like turning it on | 09:33 |
| sentiece | yes | 09:33 |
| ikonia | sentiece then it's in use, so you can't unmount it | 09:33 |
| sentiece | but i wont load anything off it while it is unmounted | 09:33 |
| sentiece | i really dont care if it crashes after | 09:33 |
| ikonia | sentiece it's in use you can't unmount it | 09:33 |
| sentiece | it not in use if i dont load anything off it | 09:33 |
| brunner | ikonia: it's not for a ring tone test. | 09:33 |
| ikonia | sentiece it is | 09:33 |
| ikonia | brunner: what do you want to test | 09:34 |
| carrera | Greetings! | 09:34 |
| brunner | I just want to know how long skype will ring before it gets counted as a missed call. | 09:34 |

| dontchoke | You have new mail in /var/mail/root | 09:35 |
| trilobit` | jointman: wait, you said you can't see the windows partition at all. Normally grub doesn't have much to do with it, unless the entry for the windows system is deleted. So do you miss the partition or just the entry in grub ? | 09:35 |
| dontchoke | how do i get rid of that? | 09:35 |
| ikonia | dontchoke read the mail as root, or remove the contents of /var/mail/root | 09:35 |
| brunner | ikonia: I really did think that *surely* there'd be someone here who would be willing to type my username and click a button... I had no idea it was such a huge demand that would require begging. | 09:35 |
| sentiece | comeone someone has to know of a way to forcibly unmount it | 09:35 |
| carrera | i've set up a 255 MB RAID1 on 3, 500 GB drives and RAID0 on the rest of 499.5 GB but can't mount /boot | 09:35 |

| ikonia | sentiece you can't - it's in use | 09:35 |
| ech0dish | few times | 09:35 |
| brunner | ikonia: yeah, I get it | 09:35 |
| jointman | trilobit`: both, i can't find my windows media folder in /media either using Xubunty | 09:35 |
| jointman | *Xubuntu | 09:35 |
| brunner | ikonia: where do you suggest I ask? | 09:35 |
| sentiece | or remount it from a copy of the iso on the harddisk | 09:35 |
| ikonia | brunner don't know | 09:36 |
| ikonia | carrera: how are you doing raid 1 on 3 disks ? | 09:36 |
| ech0dish | i'm going to call | 09:36 |
| ech0dish | whats the name again | 09:36 |
| brunner | ikonia: why would one not be able to do raid 1 on 3 disks? that's very common. | 09:36 |
| trilobit` | jointman: does the partition show up when you check with "fdisk -l" ? Or with gparted, the partition utility ? | 09:36 |
| brunner | ech0dish: chris.brunner | 09:36 |
| carrera | ikonia, when it asked me for number of volumes or disks, I changed the default 2 to 3 and it accepted | 09:36 |

| brunner | ikonia: right | 09:37 |
| carrera | ikonia, I think I tried with 2 as well, to no avai | 09:37 |
| brunner | ikonia: it's great for read performance. | 09:37 |
| ikonia | brunner thats not very common, 2 mirrors and spares is the more common raid 1 configuration | 09:37 |
| sash__unreg | hello | 09:37 |
| brunner | ikonia: well, I'm doing it on a database server | 09:37 |
| ikonia | carrera: I was just curious to what your setup was | 09:37 |
| ikonia | brunner: "great" | 09:37 |
| ikonia | carrera: so what happens when you try to boot ? | 09:38 |
| sash__unreg | I have /dev/sda [ /dev/sda1, /dev/sda5, /dev/sda6, /dev/sda7 ] WHat n in (hd0,n) would /dev/sda6 correspond to? | 09:38 |
| carrera | ikonia, still says there's no / partition | 09:38 |
| ech0dish | user busy | 09:38 |
| ikonia | carrera can you pastebin your menu.lst please. | 09:38 |
| jointman | trilobit`: nothing happened when i typed at terminal | 09:38 |

| xjohnthomasx | hi all -- ubuntu intrepid keeps losing my internet connection. it's completely unpredictable, and i need help figuring out what it could be! my signal and router are fine, because i can connect with other computers. i can also connect to it with the 8.10 computer immediately upon restart or starting up a session.. however, after a while, it just cuts out, and then won't reconnect, even though the card is still responding to the netwo | 09:38 |
| xjohnthomasx | rkmanager and the iwlist commands -- and it shows the various available wireless nets.. just tries to connect, gets the good signals, and then in the end doesn't connect!!! what is going on??? i have tried finding bugs, and there seem to be some similar, but none exactly the same... i need to hear some feedback from some experts in here :) | 09:38 |
| sentiece | how can i remap the live cd to use a iso instead of the cd while it is running? | 09:39 |
| ikonia | xjohnthomasx: join #ubuntu+1 and try to make your posts shorter | 09:39 |
| ikonia | sentiece: you can't | 09:39 |
| ikonia | carrera: so you've not actually managed to install yet ? | 09:39 |
| carrera | right | 09:39 |
| trilobit` | jointman: try this: sudo fdisk -l (will ask your own password) | 09:39 |
| jointman | trilobit`: how do i use the automount command in terminal? i forgot but it automatically reads mounted partitions | 09:40 |
| ikonia | carrera: I wonder if the installer is trying to use fakefaid rather than software raid. | 09:40 |
| dontchoke | are emails sent by deafult for crons? | 09:40 |
| ikonia | dontchoke: yes | 09:40 |
| carrera | ikonia, i don't think so. I've disabled RAID in my MB bios | 09:40 |
| trilobit` | jointman: I don't know that actually. Hehe. | 09:40 |
| dontchoke | ikonia how do i disable? | 09:40 |
| ikonia | carrera: ok, so that seems right | 09:40 |
| carrera | ikonia, and the installer shows the 3 drives | 09:41 |
| ikonia | dontchoke: alter the scripts | 09:41 |
| dontchoke | ikonia is there a config file somewhere to tell it not to send emails? | 09:41 |
| ikonia | carrera: so talk me through your disk layout in the installer, how many meta devices ? | 09:41 |
| ikonia | dontchoke: the mails are normally sent frmo the scripts | 09:41 |
| dontchoke | ikonia i dont have any mails sent | 09:41 |
| carrera | ikonia, what are meta devices? | 09:41 |

| carrera | ikonia, well, it still shows 3 x 500 GB drives but I now have partitions under each | 09:42 |

| trilobit` | jointman: sadly you have erased your windows partition. | 09:42 |
| trilobit` | jointman: you have chosen Guided Partition - Use entire disk | 09:43 |
| ikonia | carrera: ok - so you have partitions, but you then need to create the meta devices as you don't write data to the raw partitions | 09:43 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about everyone | 09:44 |
| carrera | ikonia, right. do I create meta devices with Manage softwareRAID? | 09:44 |
| ikonia | carrera I can't quite picture the installer from memory so I don't know the options | 09:44 |
| thomasite | Okay. Thanks, anyway. :) | 09:45 |
| carrera | ikonia, thanks. That's exactly where I get stuck | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | thomasite: try a little later | 09:45 |
| ikonia | carrera: but you basically asssign 2 disk partitions (eg: /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2) to a meta device (eg: /dev/md0) you then put the file system on /dev/md0 and tell the installer that the /dev/md0 partition is where you want to install | 09:45 |
| ikonia | carrera: so all your partitions should be /dev/md0, /dev/md1, etc etc | 09:45 |
| ikonia | carrera: for example, my boot parttiion looks like this | 09:46 |
| ikonia | carrera: /dev/md0 243M 26M 206M 12% /boot | 09:46 |
| carrera | ikonia, thanks. I can't find an option where I can do that | 09:46 |

| trilobit` | jointman: it's very similar to partitionMagic | 09:59 |

| ActionParsnip | Hariharan: what was the thing that got it working? | 10:27 |
| Hariharan | ActionParsnip: "Mic Boost" was set to zero volume | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ahhhhh | 10:31 |
| ScreaminIke | ... no one? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: wassup | 10:32 |
| Hariharan | ActionParsnip: the recorded audio act very strange, because it has very bad quality and it seems to only work when micboost is set to max.. >S | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: have you been trying to make a custom menu for media files? | 10:32 |
| ScreaminIke | whenever i click a FOLDER from my Places menu, it tries to launch it with vlc. how do i fix that? would nuking my .gnome* dirs help? | 10:33 |
| ScreaminIke | ... no. | 10:33 |

| ScreaminIke | no i have not | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Hariharan: try with a proper mic, inbuilt mics are utter garbage | 10:33 |

| === ubuntu_ is now known as CyberBird | ||

| === sean is now known as Guest30961 | ||
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: what have you changed before the behaviour happened? | 10:35 |
| ScreaminIke | :) upgraded to alpha, then beta, and installed ubuntustudio-desktop on top of ubuntu-desktop | 10:36 |
| ScreaminIke | lets say i nuke .gnome2, .gnome2private, .gnome, .gconf, and .gconfd... would that halp? what would that do? | 10:37 |
| cleaton | how can i use more then 4.8bg ram in ubuntu? | 10:37 |
| ScreaminIke | cleaton, get a second mobo/processor | 10:38 |
| Hariharan | ActionParsnip: Ive fixed the quality now.. it must be something with the boost, because I must have the boost on max volume ( = alot of disting ), but when I allow Skype to adjust the volume the quality becomes very good and clear | 10:38 |
| cleaton | i got 6gb ram but ubuntu seems to only recognize 4.8 | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: reset your gnome settings to defaults | 10:38 |
| Frogzoo | cleaton: bios issue? | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Hariharan: smooth move dude, if we get any skypevolume issues, you are the man to ask | 10:38 |
| ScreaminIke | ActionParsnip: is that... would that nuke my mail? | 10:38 |
| cleaton | vista shows 6gb | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: what do you use for mail? | 10:38 |
| cleaton | and bios too | 10:39 |
| ScreaminIke | cleaton: but it's lying. it cant actually use all that. | 10:39 |
| Frogzoo | cleaton: you're running 64bit of course | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | cleaton: did you install 32bit linux by any chance? | 10:39 |
| ScreaminIke | ActionParsnip: Evolution | 10:39 |
| Saruji | hello room nice to be here | 10:39 |
| cleaton | i am running 64bit of course, otherwise i wouldn't see 4.8gb | 10:40 |
| Saruji | How is everybody doing? Looks like a lot of questions are poping up | 10:40 |
| Hariharan | ActionParsnip: Skype is only changing the volume on the "Capture"-recordingdevice, not the "Mic Boost"-device | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: if you find out what folder evolution uses and make sure its not a subfolder of those folder | 10:40 |
| cleaton | ScreaminIke: what did you mean that i have to get a second mobo/processor? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: id rename instead of deleting so you have a fallback | 10:40 |
| ScreaminIke | ActionParsnip: is that the suggested method for fixing this? nuke everything? | 10:40 |
| ScreaminIke | cleaton: no consumer processor on the market can actually UTILIZE more than 4.8 gb of ram | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: its worth a test, you can always roll back | 10:41 |
| ScreaminIke | cleaton: so even if your os says it's there, it's NEVER going to use the extra 1.2gb | 10:41 |
| Hariharan | ActionParsnip: now I just have to fix the weebcam and then this computer is fully compatible with Ubuntu 8.04 :) | 10:41 |
| cleaton | oh ok | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: do you mean a single core? please be more specific | 10:41 |
| Hariharan | but that's another story | 10:41 |
| ScreaminIke | ActionParsnip: no processor. period. | 10:42 |
| cleaton | i guess i have to check my specs | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: what about 64bit CPUs | 10:42 |
| ScreaminIke | ActionParsnip: 64bit doubled the capability of 32bit. | 10:43 |
| ScreaminIke | so 32 bit could only use 2.4gb | 10:43 |
| Saruji | Hey everybody I have a question. I'm downloading the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and was wondering what kernel it uses | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: so it has 64bit memory address registers? | 10:43 |
| Hariharan | ActionParsnip: do you have any hints on webcam problematics? Skype can testrun the cam, and it is started (the green led is lit) but the testscreen is all black | 10:43 |

| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: yes allowing much more data to be accessed and giving 64bit address registers and data busses | 10:45 |
| ScreaminIke | ActionParsnip: but still limited. just because you can buy 2 bleeding edge ramsticks with your bleeding edge processor doesn't mean that your processor can actually address the entire memory. | 10:46 |

| Pavillion | ActionParsnip: "as there are a few releases of ubuntu previous to hardy (?)" | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ScreaminIke: you can arrange it as you see fit. i dont use gnome myself but im sure there are guides | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Pavillion: there have been previous releases of ubuntu like dapper, gutsy, breezy. Hardy is not the first release and the otehrs are still supported, so they have taken that into consideration | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Pavillion: its like having a guide only for windows server 08 when 2003 and 2000 still exist and are massively used. They are covering all releases | 10:59 |
| Hariharan | ActionParsnip: The keyboardshortcut is correct, "Mute" points to 0xa0 (which is Fn+F8) but the mute-mapping is wrong because I toggle mute on mic instead of mute on master | 10:59 |

| ink1 | Hello | 11:41 |
| ink1 | hey, I currently am under a 64 bit rig, and have a "server" (kind of old) 32 bit computer. I am needing to put my game server on my "server", but I get errors from bash that is cannot execute the binary.. I have tried the -m32 option on g++ and ld, but to no avail | 11:41 |
| ink1 | Desktop - Running Ubuntu Hardy Desktop 64 bit | 11:41 |
| ink1 | Server - Running Ubuntu Hardy Server 32 bit | 11:41 |
| ikonia | ink1 what game is it | 11:42 |
| ikonia | ink1: you want to move the game from your 64bit desktop your 32bit server yes/no ? | 11:42 |
| ink1 | ikonia: I game I am developing | 11:42 |
| ink1 | yes | 11:42 |
| ikonia | ink1: are you compiling it on the 64bit host or the 32bit host ? | 11:43 |
| hathiwala | how to install gtk 2.10.13 in ubuntu 6.06 | 11:43 |
| ink1 | 64 bit host with the -m32 option to compile a 32 bit exe | 11:43 |
| chaddy | exe? | 11:43 |
| ink1 | well w/e | 11:43 |
| ikonia | ink1: I'm not sure 64bit gcc wil support -m32 on ubuntu as it's not multilib | 11:43 |
| ink1 | executable | 11:43 |
| ikonia | ink1: compile it ont he 32bit host | 11:43 |
| ikonia | ink1: also keep in mind the path differences on the libraries | 11:44 |
| ink1 | well, the project is set up to be compiled on an IDE | 11:44 |
| hathiwala | is it possible to install gtk 2.10.13 in ubuntu 6.06 | 11:44 |
| ink1 | unless I have a GUI isntalled on the server... | 11:44 |
| ikonia | ink1: ide doesn't make a difference if the compiler is not multi-lib | 11:44 |
| ink1 | I installed the multilib packages | 11:44 |
| ink1 | that is how I got it to -m32 | 11:44 |
| ikonia | ink1: do gcc -v | 11:44 |
| hathiwala | is it possible to install gtk 2.10.13 in ubuntu 6.06 | 11:44 |
| ikonia | check it out | 11:45 |
| ikonia | hathiwala: stop asking every 5 seconds | 11:45 |

| ubottu | hathiwala: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 11:45 |
| hathiwala | sorry | 11:45 |

| ink1 | hathiwala: should be... | 11:45 |
| ikonia | ink1 that doesn't look multi-lib to me | 11:46 |
| ikonia | ink1: do an ldd on the binary and see what it's linked against | 11:46 |
| ink1 | ikonia: so how do I use the multilib I installed? | 11:46 |
| ink1 | ok | 11:46 |
| ikonia | ink1: I don't think gcc is built multi-lib | 11:47 |
| ikonia | ink1: I'm pretty confident it's not | 11:47 |
| ink1 | ldd: exited with unknown exit code (139) | 11:47 |
| ikonia | ink1: doesn't look like the binary built properly | 11:47 |
| ink1 | that is on the 32 bit machine | 11:48 |

| ikonia | ink1: LOOKS 64BIT | 11:48 |
| ikonia | RUN "FILE EXECUTABLE" | 11:48 |
| ikonia | oops | 11:48 |
| ikonia | sorry, didn't mean to hit caps | 11:48 |
| ikonia | ink1: run "file executable" where executable is the name of the game | 11:48 |
| error404notfound | how can I check how much swap I have from commandline? | 11:48 |
| ikonia | error404notfound: free | 11:49 |
| ink1 | -bash: run: command not found | 11:49 |
| error404notfound | ikonia: free, yup :D | 11:49 |
| ikonia | ink1: run is not a command | 11:49 |
| ink1 | what did you want?? | 11:49 |
| ikonia | run the command "file" against the executable | 11:50 |
| ink1 | ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked (uses shared libs), stripped | 11:50 |
| ikonia | Hmmm not what I expected | 11:50 |
| ikonia | the only thing I can think of then is that it's 32bit but looking in the wrong place for the 32bit libs it's linked against | 11:51 |
| ink1 | hmmm, maybe | 11:51 |
| kian | how do i restart eth0 ? | 11:51 |
| ikonia | kian define restart | 11:51 |
| trigpin | need help network aplet gone =( | 11:51 |
| kian | well i want to renew its ip | 11:51 |
| ikonia | kian it will do that on it's own when the lease expires | 11:51 |
| ink1 | ikonia: just a side note, that 32 bit version still runs under 64 | 11:52 |
| ikonia | ink1 you said you had installed the multi-lib stuff, so thats why | 11:52 |
| ink1 | ah | 11:53 |
| ikonia | ink1: but that also may expalin the problem | 11:53 |
| kian | i just reserved its ip and restarted the dhcp server. should it not have updated itself then? | 11:53 |
| ikonia | ink1: the 32bit libs on the 64bit host are not in the same place as the 64bit host | 11:53 |
| ink1 | yea, it wouldn't compile w/o them | 11:53 |
| ikonia | kian: it will when the lease expires | 11:53 |
| ikonia | ink1: so you need to cross-compile it, or built it on a native 32bit host | 11:53 |
| ink1 | ok | 11:53 |
| ink1 | thanks | 11:53 |
| ink1 | c ya | 11:53 |

| spidla | aaron : it seems like wrong configuration od libdvdnav .. try dpkg-reconfigure | 12:12 |
| trigpin | tono, you need to install driver probally | 12:12 |
| ikonia | aaron: read the PM ubottu sent you | 12:12 |
| BonezAU | chaddy, lol, it was autoscrolling that I had to enable, nothing other than that :P thanks for the assistance | 12:12 |
| tono | yes all ready install driver | 12:12 |
| ikonia | tono: what card do you have and how did you install the driver | 12:13 |
| spidla | aaron :actually I dont have this library and DVDs are working | 12:13 |
| spidla | maybe you should uninstall libdvdnav | 12:13 |
| tono | but still like that n no change | 12:13 |
| ikonia | tono: what card do you have and how did you install the driver | 12:13 |
| chaddy | BonezAU: sorry I didn't work out what you were after quicker, never realized you could do that on ubuntu ;) | 12:13 |

| Halycon | hey everyone is it possible to have multiple shortcut keys assigned to something using gnome? I want to have my remote control and my keyboard multimedia keys assigned to the same function | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | Halycon, shoudl be able to do that. Dependign onhow the remote works | 12:22 |
| Halycon | dr_willis: how would I go about it? The keyboard shortcut doesnt seem to let me set more then one shortcut key | 12:23 |
| scuser | hi all, does anyone know how to modify simple authentication in ldap ? | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | Halycon, depends omn how the remote works.. some use that lIRC protocoll - you could set their keys to send the same keypress as the mediakey perhaps. | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | !lirc | 12:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lirc | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_lirc_install | 12:24 |
| Halycon | dr_willis: Yeah right now the remote is just set as a HID it doesn't use LIRC I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to work right | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | No idea on that then Halycon theres dozens of kinds of remotes.. | 12:25 |
| stwange__ | hey, I'm having trouble installing ubuntu, it keeps bringing me to busybox after the initial menu. I've tried two different ISOs and 3 CDs burnt from 3 operating systems/two computers. I've also noticed that BIOS/GRUB is taking 10-15 seconds to load now, could this be related? Is it possible bad RAM is causing this? | 12:25 |
| Halycon | dr_willis: Yeah it is a ATI Remote Wonder it is supposed to work with LIRC but I have no idea how, I have been messing around with it all day trying to get stuff to work | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | Halycon, the mythbuntu forums i recall having a lot of info on remotes. I only have 2 remotes.. and i dont even use them any more | 12:26 |
| aaron | is there a gui device manager in ubuntu? | 12:27 |
| wp | If i want to write "year" into a new document like ("year" >> year.txt) how do I do that? | 12:28 |
| vallhalla81 | aaron: what device do you need to manage? | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | aaron, to do what task exactly? There is a hardware driver control tool, and some other tools.. | 12:28 |
| wp | from the terminal of course | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | wp, echo year >> year.txt | 12:28 |
| GaMbi_ | d | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | wp, you may want to read a few bash starter guides. :) | 12:28 |
| aaron | I want to see if my cdrom has been installed properly? | 12:28 |
| === GaMbi_ is now known as dasdsda | ||
| dr_willis | aaron, pop in a cd.. and see if you can mount the thing manually | 12:29 |
| aaron | perhaps that is where the problem is with not being able to mount dvds | 12:29 |
| aaron | I can't | 12:29 |
| wp | dr_willis thank you.... I have done that... just ages since i used echo and forgot about it ;) | 12:29 |
| aaron | I tried with mount command | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | theres not a lot to 'installing' a cd/dvd.. the links in /dev/ may be incorrect and you may need touse /dev/scd0 or /dev/sd## | 12:29 |
| vallhalla81 | aaron: in a terminal type lshw | 12:29 |
| vallhalla81 | then pastebin it | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | wp, echo is handy. :) with wildcards its even handier.. :) try 'echo *' some day for a cheap mans 'ls' | 12:29 |
| dasdsda | what is the full command to be identifyed? I cant change name to the one i maid last night (GaMbi_DK) | 12:30 |
| kian | how do I check for updates in ubuntu server 8.04? | 12:30 |
| dasdsda | normaly i can change name and it just asks me to do /nickserv identify password | 12:30 |
| vallhalla81 | kian: sudo apt-get install update | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | err.. 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' I thought. | 12:31 |
| cratuki | What's a good way to test if my network is being hammered? I'm expecting it will be something like iostat, netstat. | 12:31 |
| stwange__ | can anyone suggest why I'm getting a BusyBox terminal when I try to install ubuntu? I don't think the disk is corrupt (it's not the first attempt), I've tried it with two different hard drives and two different ISOs | 12:32 |
| wp | dr_willis ahhh... he he... how do I use tabulator in echo?? | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | wp, Huh? | 12:32 |
| jrib | stwange__: did you run "check the cd for defects"? | 12:32 |
| aaron | ok I ran lshw | 12:32 |
| aaron | what am I looking for? | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, try the cd's in vmware/virtualbox also :) see if they isntall properly there. | 12:32 |
| stwange__ | jrib - I get the busybox client if I do that | 12:32 |
| wp | dr_willis the button with the 2 arrows pointing in oposit direction | 12:33 |

| hsa2 | is there any gtk application to show special chars | 12:33 |
| jrib | stwange__: did you check the md5sum of the iso? | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | wp, you mean the Tab Key? | 12:33 |
| vallhalla81 | aaron: cn you paste the results in pate bin | 12:33 |
| ziroday | hsa2: yes, character map | 12:33 |
| wp | dr_willis yep | 12:33 |
| stwange__ | dr_willis I tried that with the ISO I'm currently using, I haven't tried the CD though, one second | 12:33 |
| hsa2 | ziroday: charactar map? is it its name? | 12:33 |
| stwange__ | jrib - no, but again the iso worked with vmware | 12:33 |
| tyberion | is anyone using an external monitor here? | 12:33 |
| jrib | hsa2: gnome-character-map | 12:33 |
| aaron | pastebin? | 12:33 |
| ziroday | hsa2: you can find it in Applications > Accesories > Character Map | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | wp, the tab charcter is control-t if i rember properly. and theres some special way you can 'echo' it to a file.. if thats what you are asking. | 12:33 |

| ziroday | tyberion: what is your question? | 12:33 |
| stwange__ | underwraps_2k 8.04 and yeah I see the ubuntu menu, and then I see a ubuntu loading screen before BusyBox comes up | 12:34 |
| jrib | stwange__: you need to actually check md5sums | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, could be that pc has some weird hardware thats confusing the installer/disrto. | 12:34 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as CyberBird | ||
| wp | dr_willis I want to echo it, yes... | 12:34 |
| tyberion | ziroday: is there a guide on howto set up the use of external monitors | 12:34 |
| ziroday | Orbixx: I presume for the eee | 12:34 |
| ziroday | tyberion: what graphics card? | 12:34 |
| hsa2 | ziroday: i am using xfce actually :) | 12:34 |
| hsa2 | i am looking for a similar app | 12:34 |
| tyberion | ziroday: since Im getting a dockstation this friday | 12:34 |
| jrib | stwange__: if that's ok, I would try the alternate cd | 12:34 |
| Orbixx-eee | ziroday, yes. | 12:34 |
| tyberion | ziroday: nvidia geforce go 7400 | 12:34 |
| stwange__ | dr_willis - the hardware is identical to the last time I installed ubuntu (7.04), apart from an extra hard drive, which I've tried removing | 12:34 |
| ziroday | Orbixx: one sec | 12:34 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | HI | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | wp, time to check bash guides for printing 'whitespace' charcters I think. :) i dont recall how. you could set the tab character ins ome variable then echo the variable. | 12:34 |
| stwange__ | dr_willis is it possible the RAM/motherboard is dying? Grub also takes 10-15 seconds to load | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, that does sound weird. | 12:35 |
| ziroday | tyberion: you might want to install the package nvidia-settings it contains an easy application for configuring externel monitors | 12:35 |
| dasdsda | davs | 12:35 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Hello guys i have a problem please | 12:35 |

| ziroday | Orbixx: please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Webcam | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, i have an issue with a machine takintg a long time to get to GRUB also.. since i added a new hard drive.. try removeing the new HD and see if it changes things. | 12:35 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Anyone can help me ? :s | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, im not sure why it causes a delay on my machine. but the machine does work once i do boot up | 12:35 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: what is your question? | 12:35 |
| tyberion | ziroday: alrihgt, thanx, should an external monitor be working as soon as I plug it in, DVI output that is? | 12:36 |
| jrib | wp: heh, no problem. Did it crash before or after you were able to paste the text? | 12:36 |
| stwange__ | dr_willis I've tried removing each hard drive separately, same issue - I'll try this CD in a VM and if it works, I'll try replacing the RAM. worst case scenario I end up with a ram upgrade | 12:36 |
| ziroday | tyberion: if that is the only monitor then it "should" but sometimes may not | 12:36 |
| === dasdsda is now known as GaMbi_DKk | ||
| aaron | ok I pasted in pastebin | 12:36 |
| wp | jrib: in the pasting process... And I have not found a way to do it yet :( | 12:36 |
| ziroday | tyberion: make sure you have the nvidia drivers installed | 12:36 |
| jrib | aaron: you need to give the url | 12:36 |
| * Orbixx-eee sighs. | 12:36 | |
| vallhalla81 | aaron: whats the link please | 12:36 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Ziroday, thx, i have install the 177.80 drivers on my unbuntu, when i restarted xserver it worked, but when i got reboot no more driver and low resolution | 12:36 |
| wp | dr_willis: I found it \t horisontial tab :D | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, i had some weird machine for a friend.. it dident like ubuntu, or kubuntu cd' but it did like the xubuntu cd.. | 12:36 |
| jrib | wp: hack a script together to do it instead of using copy and paste | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, could alsy try the alterntive installer cd. | 12:37 |
| aaron | http://paste.ubuntu.com/57850/ | 12:37 |
| Orbixx-eee | Second question, my bios is EFI based and my ubuntu-eee installation seems to have prevented the EFI bios from booting. Any ideas? | 12:37 |
| Abracadabra | Hi | 12:37 |
| tyberion | ziroday: I have... | 12:37 |
| Orbixx-eee | thanks for the link anyway ziroday | 12:37 |
| wp | jrib... how Do i make it paste it into a dialog box in firefox?? | 12:37 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: how did you install the drivers? | 12:37 |
| ziroday | Orbixx: no problem, have fun | 12:37 |
| ziroday | tyberion: you have what sorry? | 12:37 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | with the sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux.........run | 12:37 |
| stwange__ | dr_willis will the alternative installer require a lot more work to get gnome etc. installed? | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, not at all. | 12:38 |
| GaMbi_DKk | really.. now im identifyed as GaMbi_DK the nick i registered last night.. how come i cant change name to it? I can change to "GaMbi_DKk" etc.. what gives? | 12:38 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | After reboot, no more drivers | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | stwange__, its just the installer thats text based | 12:38 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: okay, thats not the correct way to install the drivers which is why you now have an issue with the new kernel. You need to rerun the installer for the new kernel. If you insist on using nvidia instead of prepackaged drivers you might want to use envy | 12:38 |
| julian | need some help. i can only play audio from one appliication at one time | 12:38 |
| ziroday | GaMbi_DKk: ask in #freenode | 12:38 |
| jrib | wp: you avoid firefox altogether. Read the source of the page or use something that shows you what POST vars are set when you click "submit". Then use python or even just wget to submit the longer content. Checkout --post-data in 'man wget' | 12:38 |
| tyberion | ziroday: nvidia drivers installed, else I wouldnt be able to use compiz... so I just have to plug in my laptop to my dockingstation, connect the ds with the monitor via DVI, and select nvidia-settings in order to change to external? | 12:39 |
| Abracadabra | I have installed a utility, but cannot find where it has been installed, what is the command to find it? (I tried find / filename, or grep filename, or locate filename, but I get no results). it has been installed though, as I doenloaded the filename.deb file, double-clicked on it, the package manager launched, and installed it. | 12:39 |
| vallhalla81 | aaron: am i correct in thinking you aded this cd drive after install?/ | 12:39 |
| ziroday | tyberion: yep, its that easy :) | 12:39 |
| aaron | no it was running fine before I upgraded to 8.04 | 12:39 |
| wp | jrib: sounds advanced, but I will chek it out... thank you again | 12:39 |
| aaron | is there information there that saids it does not see the dvd drive? | 12:40 |
| tyberion | ziroday: will it automatically use 1280x800 for laptop and 1920x1200 for external? | 12:40 |

| FUNSOOFER08 | ZIRODAY i downloaded 177.80 drivers on nvidia website. I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to go console, i stoped x server and i typed the syntax to install nvidia drivers. It built the kernel and said to me nvidia drivers are installed. I restarted the x server and drivers worked fine. After reboot no more drivers ... | 12:41 |
| wp | dr_willis: I found out that horizontal tab is \t, but when I write \t ino my echo command it ignores \t?? | 12:42 |
| olskolirc | thanks ziroday | 12:42 |
| aaron | vallhalla81....does the report from lshw confirm that there is a problem with the kernel picking up the drive? | 12:42 |
| aaron | I don't know how to analyse the report. | 12:42 |
| jrib | wp: echo -e to "enable interpretation of backslash escapes" | 12:42 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 12:43 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 12:43 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: I have explained this to you, because you have installed the new kernel the old drivers don't work on it. If you install the drivers from the repo's then everything will work automatically. Otherwise you have to rerun the nvidia installer, which we _don't_ support | 12:43 |
| Spudz | ziroday: thx | 12:43 |
| ziroday | Spudz: no problem, good luck | 12:43 |

| jrib | SimoneB: what arch? | 12:44 |
| SimoneB | amd64 | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | wp, \t is special formating used in special cases.. its an excape character. | 12:44 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | ZIRODAY i downloaded 177.80 drivers on nvidia website. I pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 to go console, i stoped x server and i typed the syntax to install nvidia drivers. It built the kernel and said to me nvidia drivers are installed. I restarted the x server and drivers worked fine. After reboot no more drivers ... | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | wp, you could combine what jrib just said and do a echo -e "\t\ > some sort of variable. then just echo the $VARIABLE | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | wp, i belive the advanced bash scripting guide gives examples of this with whitespace and color codes | 12:44 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Need i to re install my 177.80 ? | 12:44 |

| zhaozhou | Here's an odd problem for you. I have this x268-movie, around 6gig big. Mplayer cannot seek in this file at all, and when it gets to around 1 minute, it sais 'end of movie', but it sais it's 2 hours and something minutes long. VLC on the other hand CAN seek, but after the same time it simply segfaults. | 12:45 |
| stwange__ | wp - did you try ctrl+v and then a tab? It *might* be a putty trick I'm not sure | 12:45 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: yes, or uninstall the current drivers and use the prepackaged drivers (made by ubuntu developers) that make everything work automatically | 12:45 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Ok but i gonna have old drivers ? | 12:45 |
| jrib | SimoneB: sun does not provide a java plugin for 64bit. You will need to use one of the open java plugins like gcjwebplugin | 12:46 |
| aaron | can someone have advice about how to learn how to analyse lshw command | 12:46 |
| SimoneB | jrib: and iced tea? | 12:46 |
| jrib | SimoneB: sure | 12:46 |
| SimoneB | jrib: i just removed it because it didn't work right :( | 12:46 |
| stwange__ | dr_willis just an update, the CD works fine in a VM. I'm downloading the alternate CD now but I may go and get some more RAM seeing as it's my lunch break and I only get one chance :) | 12:46 |
| jrib | SimoneB: you can install 32bit firefox if you really need sun's | 12:46 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: yes the prepackaged drivers are slightly older, if you have to have the new ones you can use a program called envy | 12:46 |

| ubottu | FUNSOOFER08: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 12:47 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | i have it | 12:47 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: great, use that program to install the drivers then. Uninstall the old ones and then use this | 12:48 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | drivers are 173.14.12 ? | 12:48 |
| jspp_ | LAL | 12:48 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: they are the latest, yes | 12:49 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Ok, 1 month ago i downloaded these drivers on nvidia website they worked fine, and now the news dont work after one reboot .... why | 12:49 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: I have explained this _twice_ to you, the new kernel broke the old drivers | 12:50 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | arent 177.80 newest than 173 .. ? :s | 12:50 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: how new they are doesn't matter, the new kernel always breaks the drivers, the old drivers have to be reinstalled | 12:51 |
| pageold | hello guys | 12:52 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: and the prepackaged drivers as well as the envy one's do this automatically for you | 12:52 |
| pageold | got question here | 12:52 |
| ziroday | pageold: sure, what is it? | 12:52 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Cant i build a other kernel for these 177.80 ? | 12:52 |
| pageold | just now, i've plug-in the fusb flash own by my friends | 12:52 |
| dr_willis | aaron, i just do a 'dmesg | less' then look for lines that mention the cd. use the less search feature /CD , and look for some lines lilke.. 69.403214] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 [ 69.403403] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off <------- the [sdc] tells me the cdrom is on /dev/sdc | 12:52 |
| pageold | in ubuntu, but clearly inside the usb flash a lot of virus | 12:53 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: you just need to reinstall the drivers of your graphics card for every single new kernel release. No matter how old or new the drivers are | 12:53 |
| pageold | how can i know my ubunt not infected by those viruses? | 12:53 |
| ziroday | pageold: ubuntu cannot be infected by windows viruses, they simply do not run | 12:53 |
| wp | I have writte the man pages on echo and it says that if i write echo -e it will accept \t as an horozential tab.... but nothing happens, because echo -e year\tyearagain just outputs as yeartyearagain... what do I have to write before it works? | 12:53 |
| wp | written* | 12:54 |
| pageold | how do we know the viruses purposely for win user not linux? | 12:54 |
| ubuntu_ | linux is virus-proof | 12:54 |
| gnari | hello. does anyone know what is the source of ssh disconnections like: $ Read from remote host foo.bar: Connection timed out\nConnection to foo.bar closed. | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | !virus | 12:54 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 12:54 |
| kFj | hi. how can i install network manager 0.7 in ubuntu when i dont have access to the internet with the computer that needs it installed? i need support for the 802.1x over eth on it in order to get it online | 12:54 |
| pageold | can i say, my ubuntu free from viruses 100%? | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | gnari, after a period of time with no activeity (a timeout) it hangs up. | 12:54 |
| ziroday | gnari: are you sshing into a server far away, or are you connected to a slow connection? | 12:54 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Ok sry im new in linux im a pain :s :s :s, then i need to reinstall a clean ubuntu, install envyng and install 173 drivers right ? | 12:54 |
| weichong78 | hello, im trying to rebuild kernel for Ubuntu and UME, most of the documentation I found online are for packaging custom kernel using make-kpkg. can anybody point me to some guidance on how to rebuild Ubuntu specific kernel for specific build | 12:54 |
| ziroday | pageold: yes | 12:54 |
| pageold | ok thnx | 12:54 |
| pageold | love Ubuntu! | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | pageold, go find a virus for linux.. the only ones ive ever seen are just 'test' cases.. that are not really viruses | 12:55 |
| gnari | relatively good connection | 12:55 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | ZIRODAY Ok sry im new in linux im a pain :s :s :s, then i need to reinstall a clean ubuntu, install envyng and install 173 drivers right ? | 12:55 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: no. You can uninstall the current drivers you have, install envy and then have the latest drivers. You do not need to reinstall ubuntu | 12:55 |
| gnari | this does not happen if I have an editor open in the terminal, but does if I am on the prompt | 12:55 |
| ziroday | gnari: basically thats caused by you losing connection with the server | 12:55 |
| gnari | so I was wondering if this is a ssh config or a bash config or what? | 12:56 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | Then why it uninstall me everytime something | 12:56 |
| abe3k | hi, in earlier versions of ubuntu there was a device manager with a nifty GUI , is there any one for hardy 8.04 | 12:56 |
| gnari | ziroday, oh. so it is because of my ISP maybe? | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | gnari, yes.. it is a ssh config.. and a sshd config.. I dont recall it being bash specific... | 12:56 |
| FUNSOOFER08 | cleaning doesnt work ? | 12:56 |
| ubuntu_ | :/ | 12:56 |
| ziroday | gnari: one sec, lemme find you some documents | 12:56 |
| ziroday | FUNSOOFER08: you can reinstall ubuntu, or you can just uninstall the nvidia drivers, it is your choice | 12:57 |

| attacker_ | Hi all! | 12:58 |
| abe3k | is there any device manager for ubuntu 8.04 with a GUI ? | 12:58 |
| ziroday | gnari: basically it due to your internet connection, does this happen immediately or after long periods of use? | 12:58 |
| ziroday | abe3k: what do you mean by device manager? | 12:58 |
| sia-eXtreme | what am i losing if i install new ubuntu without deleting /home ? | 12:58 |
| gnari | ziroday, after long periods of nonuse | 12:58 |
| abe3k | ziroday: a program that shows me my computer hardware and their drivers | 12:58 |
| ziroday | gnari: alright, take a look at this http://madphilosopher.ca/2005/07/an-ssh-keep-alive-tip/ it a dirty hack but should work | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | sia-eXtreme, customized settings in /etc/ normally. and dont for get any files in /root/ | 12:59 |

| ziroday | blip-: from what I can tell the new -intel drivers should have glx and all that sorted out automagically. I have a feeling your getting a false negative | 13:14 |

| r0ach | Guys, I installed Ubuntu again. Now, I'm trying to mount my Windows partition (precious data in there). But, I can't. It doesn't even show its existence. I checked Gparted and it says that its "Unknown type" instead of NTFS. Is there anyway to recover those files ? | 13:25 |
| chaddy | you're welcome | 13:25 |
| M-a-r-k | Is it my imagination or did packages installed from tar files used to be installed to the system? | 13:25 |
| chaddy | r0ach: from your backups, perhaps? | 13:26 |
| chaddy | r0ach: otherwise perhaps dd and grep | 13:26 |
| r0ach | I even tried - "mount ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk" | 13:26 |
| r0ach | chaddy: No backups man | 13:26 |
| chaddy | r0ach: lesson learnt, then | 13:26 |
| dr_willis | I recall some way that i saw ntfs filesystems get shown as somthing else... but i forget how/why. :( | 13:26 |
| r0ach | chaddy: Whats dd and grep ? | 13:26 |
| dr_willis | I woulkd try accessing the stuff from a windows install. | 13:27 |
| chaddy | r0ach: don't you have google there? | 13:27 |
| chaddy | r0ach: dr_willis's plan is well worth a try | 13:27 |
| r0ach | chaddy: yeah. sorry i'll google it | 13:27 |
| abe3k | Is there a program that shows and manages my currently shared files and folders for Ubuntu ? | 13:27 |
| r0ach | My Windows isn't working | 13:27 |
| dr_willis | encrypted ntfs? perhaps? | 13:27 |

| dr_willis | abe3k, theres tools that shopw the shares, and theres tools that manage samba.. | 13:28 |
| r0ach | See I installed Ubuntu again. It didn't recogize my Windows install | 13:28 |
| dr_willis | abe3k, i just manually edit my smb.conf :) however. | 13:28 |

| abe3k | dr_willis : can I have the names of the tools for managing pls | 13:28 |
| r0ach | I read ur msg btw ! | 13:29 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:29 |
| r0ach | lol | 13:29 |
| dr_willis | abe3k, as i said.. i manually edit my smb.conf :) there is ebox and swat - however i feel its BEST to learn how to read what smb.conf says/does | 13:29 |
| abe3k | dr_willis : thanks | 13:30 |
| r0ach | So is there anyway to force the system to show the files in my Windows partition ? | 13:30 |
| dr_willis | abe3k, the 'samba-doc' package has some books/guids that make for a good read.. and show how amazing 'samba' really is. :) | 13:30 |
| dr_willis | r0ach, try mounting it manally with the ntfs-3g tool perhaps. or mount command. I would suggest mounting it read only. | 13:30 |
| abe3k | dr_willis : thanks I'll take a look at it :) | 13:30 |
| HaguMon | Hi there again... I have an issue with the brightness in my laptop. There seems to be moved twice up/down when I press the key once | 13:30 |
| zzattack | anyone else wanna compare webmin and ebox? | 13:31 |
| r0ach | if its "mount ntfs-3g blah blah" thing u talking abt, I tried it man :( | 13:31 |
| dr_willis | r0ach, and what did it say? | 13:31 |
| dr_willis | zzattack, from what i hear.. dont use webmin any more.. use ebox. | 13:31 |
| dr_willis | zzattack, but ive not used either in ages | 13:31 |
| slap | can someone tell me where I can find the translation files for GDM? | 13:32 |
| r0ach | dr_willis: It said "mount: unknown filesystem type 'fs'" | 13:32 |
| zzattack | i put webmin on yesterday, i sort of like it | 13:32 |
| zzattack | but i hve never tried ebox | 13:32 |
| dr_willis | r0ach, that sounds weird.. what was the exact command you used to mount it? | 13:32 |
| dr_willis | zzattack, yea - i liked webmin.. but since i know how to maniually edit my smb.conf now. :) i dont need it | 13:32 |
| Manacim | what's webmin? | 13:33 |
| r0ach | dr_willis: Here it is :- "mount ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk-1 -o force" | 13:33 |
| AdvoWork | hi there, how can i find the name of my ubutnu pc lol? | 13:33 |
| Manacim | lol | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | zzattack, webmin has allways been considred a security risk. be sure to set it to only allow local access. :) or other wise lock it down. | 13:33 |
| zzattack | Manacim: its a control panel for ubuntu servers | 13:33 |
| Manacim | click system > preference > about me | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | r0ach, you did use a sudo with that command? | 13:33 |
| zzattack | dr_willis: i only enable it when i need webmin | 13:33 |
| Manacim | oh | 13:33 |

| r0ach | dr_willis: It shows the same error :( | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | HaguMon, at onetime the ubuntu forums had a specal forum for laptops. may want to check there.. | 13:35 |

| HaguMon | ok thank you, I'll check it out right now | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | r0ach, sounds bad.. could be the filesystem is really buggered.. I would get it scanned by a windows machine asap. | 13:35 |
| Manacim | AdvoWork: what did you wanna check again? | 13:35 |
| AdvoWork | Manacim im sure when i built it, i gave it a name like ubuntuSOMETHING but i cant remember? | 13:36 |

| chris-dreamshare | any suggestions on getting my sound card working in ubuntu? | 13:36 |
| Manacim | you mean a name for yoru computer? | 13:36 |
| r0ach | dr_willis: So anyway to do it under linux ? Cuz I don't have Windows right now :( | 13:36 |
| Manacim | like if you have a desktop it'd be <name>-desktop | 13:36 |
| dr_willis | r0ach, theres varioys tools to scan/fix ntfs filesyst4ems under linux.. but it depends on how much RISK you want to take.. | 13:37 |
| dr_willis | r0ach, what filesystem type does 'sudo fdisk -l' say it is? | 13:37 |
| r0ach | dr_willis: It says HTFS/NTFS | 13:37 |

| AdvoWork | is that just a mass mix up? | 13:45 |
| AdvoWork | so etc/hosts needs to be firstname_surname too? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork /etc/hosts is for hostnames, not names | 13:46 |
| AdvoWork | i thought they both had to be the same | 13:46 |

| drguildo | chaddy, i would rather do a clean install | 13:52 |
| pontus | moo | 13:52 |

| XiXaQ | in dot-releases for LTSes, will there be included "special" updates too? I mean, do Evolution get upgraded for instance? I love Evolution, but it's too buggy, and it's annoying if I can't use the LTS versions because of it. | 13:53 |
| phaidros | jim_p: question is, qhich package .. java-common its not :( | 13:53 |
| jim_p | BleSS: there is definitely something in /etc that tells the same. your version can be also found by the running kernel | 13:53 |
| jim_p | !java | 13:53 |

| drguildo | chaddy, any way to install it without having to burn a cd or use a usb drive (which doesn't even work with my mac mini) | 13:54 |
| ikonia | orly_owl: yes the ones that ship with xorg | 13:54 |

| chaddy | drguildo: netinstall is probably your best option, then | 13:55 |

| orly_owl | OK | 13:55 |

| phaidros | drguildo: there is a script for making a usb stick from install cd .. so no burning necessary ;) | 13:56 |

| kane77 | I downloaded and installed the new oo.org, but I cannot find any executable for it, where are they? | 14:29 |
| monostone | im using k9copy to backup a dvd to iso, using the copy DVD option. For some reason the ouput varies significantly in size then the original DVD? I thought that the copy option makes an exact copy? The movie is complete, so it isn't getting cut anywhere, the different titlesets are sometimes up to 500MB less in the output, why is this? | 14:30 |
| SlimeyPete | kane77: executables are generally found in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin | 14:30 |
| __tom__ | short question: If I install the beta-version of kubuntu or ubuntu | 14:31 |
| __tom__ | will it automatically be upgraded | 14:31 |
| kane77 | SlimeyPete, I know that, but what are they called for new OO.org (3.0)? | 14:31 |
| __tom__ | to the full version once they get released= | 14:31 |
| kane77 | __tom__, yes | 14:31 |
| __tom__ | ? | 14:31 |
| phaidros | chris-dreamshare: just trying to give you hints for finding the problem .. ;) | 14:31 |
| kane77 | __tom__, it will be, and please keep your questions on one line.. | 14:31 |
| chris-dreamshare | I have alsa installed, it now shows my volume when I move it with the wheel, and still no sound from the speakers | 14:32 |
| __tom__ | ahh sorry kane77 | 14:32 |
| __tom__ | was still used to my IM :) | 14:32 |
| phaidros | chris-dreamshare: pls look in alsamixer if there is nothing muted | 14:32 |
| phaidros | chris-dreamshare: pls try alsaplayer | 14:32 |
| chris-dreamshare | nothing is muted in alsaplayer | 14:32 |
| phaidros | chris-dreamshare: pls try mplayer -ao help and some of the possible outputs if it give sound .. | 14:32 |

| marnanel | What's the way to get apt-get remove to remove a package which has a broken script so won't remove? | 14:33 |
| CyberBird | it may seem a bit silly question but I wonder, does a beta version of firefox affects the downloaded files? I mean is there a chance to have a bad file after downloading because 9of the beta version (of firefox)? | 14:33 |
| OicemanO | thx | 14:33 |
| Skiessi | *its | 14:33 |
| jim_p | phaidros: are you there? | 14:33 |
| phaidros | Skiessi: try ip route add IPofAPTmirror/32 via dev wifi0 | 14:34 |
| phaidros | jim_p: yes | 14:34 |
| phaidros | Skiessi: or eth0 whatever .. | 14:34 |
| kane77 | CyberBird, I'd say in general this should not happen. | 14:34 |
| marnanel | I thought there was a "force remove" option somewhere | 14:34 |
| marnanel | but I can't see it in the man page | 14:35 |

| mrbig4545 | hi, im using ubuntu with xen, no problems there | 14:42 |
| monostone | when using k9copy to do a DVD copy, no shrinking, why does the final iso file ouput weigh less than the original DVD? Could this be due to the removal of the protection schemes on the original by libdvdcss? but that doesn't make sense since I thought it was on the fly decryption when playing | 14:42 |
| frybye | phaidros: I got things mixed up... | 14:42 |
| mrbig4545 | but i want to sue virtualbox inside dom0 | 14:42 |
| phaidros | frybye: np :) | 14:42 |
| scunizi | can the new Oo exist side by side with the default Oo install ? or do I need to uninstall the Ubuntu version | 14:42 |
| mrbig4545 | theres not virtualbox-modules-xen package, so i figured id build them myself | 14:42 |

| mamo_noob | hi | 14:43 |
| mrbig4545 | i did a apt-cache search for source, and all i can find is linux-source | 14:43 |
| {E} | Someone can help me? | 14:43 |
| sAnimations | erUSUL: IP, subnet, etc. I'm trying to get OpenVPN going and I'm not sure the TAP/TUN interface is properly configured | 14:43 |
| scunizi | phaidros, yea.. I know.. however .. that dooms me to 12 mths of waiting for the new version to be incorporated. | 14:44 |
| |Dreams| | will i have to reinstall anything else since i had to reinstall flash since the kernel update | 14:44 |
| mrbig4545 | or similar, but its not the same version as the xen kernel image | 14:44 |
| phaidros | mrbig4545: i believe it is the same source, but diff patchsets and .config .. | 14:44 |

| phaidros | scunizi: no 3rd party repo already packaged the new version? | 14:44 |
| phaidros | mrbig4545: ino, but even way more time consuming ;) | 14:44 |
| scunizi | phaidros, haven't checked.. it is available as a deb off the Oo site.. | 14:44 |
| phaidros | scunizi: heh, kewl :) | 14:45 |
| mrbig4545 | phaidros: its not that bad on my new quad core :D | 14:45 |
| deus | hey | 14:45 |
| scunizi | phaidros, enough changes to it that there is some major interest... took the servers down in the last day or so. | 14:45 |
| mrbig4545 | so how do i apply the xen patches to the kernel source? | 14:46 |
| phaidros | scunizi: which version? can they handle now more than 64000 lines in calc?? | 14:46 |

| frybye | Hi - my system apparently has a corrupt magic number (= superblock?) can sbdy tell me step by step how to repair..? | 14:46 |
| DESiBELi | Is there any list of hardware known to work with Ubuntu or Gnu in general? | 14:47 |

| mrbig4545 | damn this ubuntu, if i wasnt at work id use gentoo, but it'll take far too much time to setup | 14:47 |
| Lartza_ | Sohuld I install games sdl or gtk+ client? | 14:47 |
| amanulla | phaidros:ok thank you | 14:47 |

| erUSUL | frybye: "e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/whatever" | 14:48 |
| frybye | erUSUL: I have tried so much I can remember what I have already done.. hmmm .. | 14:48 |

| bonez45 | Pici: from the 'repos'? | 15:48 |
| Docal | amenado, I had someone boot that other PC (it's at a remote location) and I logged in via SSH and compared my gdm.conf to the one on it - they are identical. It is probably worth mentioning that oftentimes simply switching users via the users menu in my top panel does *not* log me out, but keeps me logged in and my apps running in the background. This is only a situation that I'm running into a portion of the time. | 15:48 |
| bonez45 | Pici: I believe I ran apt-get to install them.. can't remember now | 15:49 |
| Docal | Can you (or anyone else) suggest anything else I might look into? | 15:49 |
| Lartza_ | Mancim: doesn work | 15:49 |
| Dread | proftpd, pureftpd or vsftpd for a simple home dir jailed ftp server? | 15:49 |
| Pici | bonez45: 'repos' is just another way of referring to the package repositories, i.e.: apt-get | 15:49 |
| Lartza_ | it starts to rope files if i hold left click and move | 15:49 |
| Manacim | Lartza_: while holding ctrl and alrt? | 15:49 |
| unitedpotsmokers | jadedoto, it say an error accoured at 'ioctlVIDIOCSPICT' could not set camera properties | 15:49 |
| Manacim | alt* | 15:49 |
| Lartza_ | yea | 15:49 |
| Manacim | hmm weird | 15:50 |
| Lartza_ | ctrl alt down looks like cube like 1 second | 15:50 |
| amenado | Docal that gdm.conf should have a [servers] entry and you can have several terminals specified for it, the format, i dont remember off hand, have to google for it | 15:50 |

| Docal | amenado, i've just switched to my wifes log in, and then back over to mine - it did not log me out. Would that not indicate that my gdm.conf is working correctly and perhaps something else is causing this behaviour? I almost suspect something is crashing or terminating my login due to an error as in my testing, I can usually switch back and forth between my acct and hers without issue. It's only some of the time that it's fully loggi | 15:52 |

| sparkflagration | arrrghhh: do you have any suggestions other than googling it (which I will be sure to do)? i read the manpage and it did not help at all... | 15:58 |
| RonzO | ty jrib | 15:58 |
| unitedpotsmokers | ai yai yai yai yai | 15:58 |

| thiebaude | the reason I upgraded to 8.10, is ubuntu is always good to my intel 815 | 16:09 |
| unitedpotsmokers | this is a computer man dont make a joke | 16:09 |
| joaopinto | tv7497, erm, you are not expected to exit after setting the display variable | 16:09 |
| joaopinto | tv7497, and if you are doing a graphical login with the oracle user, you do not need to set the display var | 16:10 |
| knut | derdon? | 16:10 |
| derdon | knut: ich kann nicht #ubuntu-de joinen, deswegn bin ich hier | 16:10 |

| ubottu | Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de | 16:10 |
| derdon | okay, okay | 16:10 |
| knut | derdon: /join #ubuntu-de | 16:11 |
| tv7497 | joaopinto: okiee will try that and let you know in a minute sir but graphical login you mean gksudo ??? | 16:11 |
| joaopinto | tv7497, since you are logging int with root (which is BAD), it will probably be easier to ssh -X oracle@localhost, that will take care of setting up the display var | 16:11 |
| joaopinto | tv7497, no, i mean, like, when logging into the system, using the oracle user | 16:11 |
| derdon | knut: doesn't work! :( | 16:11 |
| kushalsejwal | Greeting everybody, I am having a dual boot between XP and Ubuntu. I want to format my XP partition after which I my grub would disappear, in the past I was not able to recover it and ended installing a resh copy, now I dont want the same. is there anyways by which I can save my grub? or easy way to get it back after I reinstall XP | 16:12 |
| joaopinto | tv7497, and there was a repository for Oracle XE, much easier to install | 16:12 |
| kushalsejwal | fresh* | 16:12 |
| joaopinto | !grub > kushalsejwal | 16:12 |
| ubottu | kushalsejwal, please see my private message | 16:12 |
| tv7497 | joapinto well sir the password set i dont know it was from that tutorial i just followed it blindly | 16:13 |
| knut | derdon_ for me that worked fine .. | 16:13 |
| indian_munnda | kushalsejwal: install XP and then install grub | 16:13 |
| joaopinto | tv7497, su - oracle, then "passwd" | 16:13 |
| joaopinto | and set the user's password | 16:13 |
| tv7497 | joaopinto: ok sir | 16:13 |
| Dread | anyone know how to change a chroot directory? | 16:14 |
| joaopinto | and you really should play with OracleXE first :) | 16:14 |
| joaopinto | Dread, which chroot directory ? | 16:14 |
| thiebaude | what is OracleXE? | 16:14 |
| joaopinto | theBishop, it's a light version of Oracle RDBMS | 16:14 |
| knut | i installed kde 4.1 next to gnome.. now i cant start the virtual windows machine in virtualbox. it freezes at "spawing session" | 16:14 |
| joaopinto | lighter and free, but limited | 16:14 |
| Dread | sorry, should explain better, its vsftpd, i want to chroot the user bob to /home/webserver/bob/ instead of /home/bob | 16:14 |
| joaopinto | ops, was thiebaude | 16:14 |
| thiebaude | Oracle RDBMS | 16:15 |
| ayan4m1 | Anyone know if the linux-image packages are currently being messed with in intrepid's apt sources? | 16:15 |
| joaopinto | Dread, I have experience with pureftp, with it, you could create a virtual user and sets it's home dir to whatever path you want | 16:15 |

| peer` | Hi there. I want to install this distro of Kubuntu on to my laptop but don't want to install it if I can't get my external wireless card. It's a PC card, Airbus101 AWLC3026. I heard somewhere that I can update linux drivers with windows drivers files? how? | 16:22 |
| Lartza_ | with not i mean something like metacity | 16:22 |
| joaopinto | tv7497, I am sorry, but you really need an introduction to linux/unix before installing Oracle on a *nix system | 16:22 |
| joaopinto | please search for some linux tutorial, there is a lot of documentation for beginners | 16:22 |
| tv7497 | joaopinto: willing to learn sir :) i may be foolish though but whats the wrong i am doing sir | 16:23 |
| danbh_intrepid | peer`: you can use ndiswrapper | 16:23 |

| joaopinto | tv7497, don't have enough time for a step-by-step tutoring right now, sorry :\ | 16:24 |
| peer` | okay, I see what NDISwrapper is now | 16:24 |

| CalvinDK | What is the keybord shutcut to clear to desktop | 16:24 |
| peer` | how would I download and install it? or what can I search for on google to find a tutorial? | 16:24 |
| faucheur | I can't access to my session with : KDE/Gnome/failsafemod | 16:25 |
| adac | peer`, If there are no drivers for a wireless card for ubuntu or another wireless card you can use the windows driver with ndiswrapper to make your card work with linux | 16:25 |
| faucheur | can someone help me? | 16:25 |
| peer` | adac is there a guide on how to do this? | 16:25 |
| amenado | peer`--> google for ndiswrapper tutorial | 16:25 |
| adac | peer`, sure just a moment | 16:25 |

| Justcameron | hi. can anyone estimate how much I would have to download to upgrade from hardy to intrepid? | 16:26 |
| adac | peer`, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 16:26 |
| joaopinto | Justcameron, it should be as much as your current OS install | 16:26 |
| CalvinDK | What is the keybord shutcut to clear the desktop in ubuntu. | 16:26 |
| joaopinto | since everything will be upgrade | 16:26 |
| Justcameron | joaopinto: surely some software will remain at the same version? | 16:27 |
| peer` | adac, does that guide apply to kubuntu as well? apparently I have KDE 3.5, does that make a difference? | 16:27 |
| chfwiggum | hi all! | 16:27 |
| joaopinto | jussi01, don't think so :) | 16:27 |
| joaopinto | erm, justafish | 16:27 |
| joaopinto | ops, Justcameron | 16:27 |
| Lartza_ | can i tweak metacity somehow to be more lightwieght? | 16:27 |
| Lartza_ | and what program i can see running processes again? | 16:28 |
| adac | peer`, no I think it makes no difference since you have to install and work on command line for this | 16:28 |
| jm_ | salu | 16:28 |
| joaopinto | Lariri, you can use "ps -ef" on the terminal | 16:28 |
| peer` | adac, does the guide outline what I need to type in to the command line? I am pretty inexperienced with command lines | 16:28 |

| Pimpin | hello every1, who tried to install proprietary ati drivers on ubuntu 8.10? | 16:29 |
| vbabiy | Is there a fix for todays update if you are using nvidia-glx-new-envy and you upgrade to 2.6.24-21-generic it breaks X? | 16:29 |
| chfwiggum | is there any kind of limitation with ubuntu or the kernel regarding the support of a resolution of 2500x1400? | 16:30 |
| adac | peer`, probably youfirst read through the document once bfore you start install it | 16:30 |
| spiritssight | how do I run a file with the ext of .run from the term | 16:30 |
| adac | peer`, What wireless card do you have? | 16:30 |
| joaopinto | chfwiggum, that should be related to the Xorg video driver | 16:30 |
| peer` | Airbus101 AWLC3026 | 16:30 |
| joaopinto | spiderz, sudo sh file.run | 16:30 |
| bastid_raZor | spiritssight; ./file.run | 16:30 |
| chfwiggum | joaopinto: thx. ill have a look | 16:30 |
| Arch3Angel | what is the kernel on the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS CD Rom | 16:31 |
| tv7497 | joaopinto: sir well could you just say what did i do wrong not a step by step tutorial rather a line of wisdom :d | 16:31 |
| Arch3Angel | trying to figure out what drivers i will require after the install | 16:31 |
| peer` | adac, Airbus101 AWLC3026 | 16:31 |
| user_ | are there anyone who knows about aMSN int ubuntu | 16:31 |
| joaopinto | tv7497, you are doing too many mistakes because you just doing copy/paste from a tutorial without understanding, nothing I can fix with a single line, sorry | 16:31 |
| joaopinto | user_, you need to be more specific | 16:32 |
| bastid_raZor | Arch3Angel; you'll be asked to upgrade to the latest kernel by the time you're done installing/updating | 16:32 |
| adac | peer`, are you sure airbus not airlink? | 16:32 |
| AdvoWork | sounds a silly question, is there any way to speed up a standard ubuntu boot up? | 16:32 |
| bastid_raZor | Arch3Angel; i think it is 2.6.24-16 though | 16:32 |
| jzhang | hi everyone | 16:33 |
| Arch3Angel | k - i am trying to see if i boot this mini-note if i will get a screen up screen on boot | 16:33 |
| Arch3Angel | trying to avoid it | 16:33 |
| peer` | er, yeah, airlink | 16:33 |
| peer` | adac, yesh, airlink | 16:33 |
| adac | AdvoWork, install bootchart and see there which process takes how long on booting. then probably uninstall that program. This is one way | 16:33 |
| adac | peer`, So I thin you don't even need ndiswrapper, Your card should be recognized by kubuntu/ubuntu itself | 16:34 |
| jzhang | what is a fast & simple web gallery creator like iphoto & .mac website? | 16:34 |
| bastid_raZor | adac; that is insane advice | 16:34 |
| peer` | adac, alright, I'll keep that in mind. I have an ethernet cable handy (how I'm online right now ;) ) so it should be a non-issue | 16:35 |
| adac | bastid_raZor, well I forgot to say: if he know what he is doing mean AdvoWork | 16:35 |

| legend2440 | Pimpin: i dont think ati has fglrx drivers that work with intrepid yet because intrepid uses X.Org 7.4 | 16:39 |

| LimCore | codecs etc | 16:40 |
| Pici | !medibuntu | limcore | 16:41 |
| ubottu | limcore: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 16:41 |
| LimCore | thx | 16:41 |
| DB]Oric | dunno why,but it does work,i'm using the latest ati driver | 16:41 |
| DB]Oric | & for linux | 16:41 |
| Pimpin | how did u install it? | 16:42 |
| === faucheur is now known as Newb`s | ||
| spiritssight | Yes how? | 16:42 |
| DB]Oric | ./***.run | 16:42 |
| DB]Oric | then it works | 16:42 |
| LimCore | why medibuntu-keyring can not be authenticated? | 16:43 |
| uwe2006 | hi | 16:43 |
| Pimpin | but it says " Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version" | 16:43 |
| jrib | LimCore: because you need to install the keyring first | 16:43 |
| DB]Oric | i didn't meet that kind of problems | 16:43 |
| LimCore | jrib: why not sign medibuntu's keyring with official ubuntu.org key | 16:43 |
| Pimpin | hmm, that's strange then | 16:43 |
| jrib | LimCore: how do you propose medibuntu does that? | 16:44 |
| beautifulsnow | Anyone know what <pass> 0 0, 0 1, 0 2, in /etc/fstab mean? | 16:44 |
| LimCore | jrib: put medibuntu's pgp key into a package, and put that package (with ONLY the key, nothing more - so its fully legal in all countries) into ubuntu.org repo | 16:44 |
| peer` | haha | 16:44 |
| peer` | I accidentally said NDISraptor | 16:44 |
| jrib | LimCore: sure, that works I guess | 16:44 |
| LimCore | jrib: lets do it then \o/ ? | 16:45 |
| jrib | LimCore: contact the folks behind medibuntu and see what they think | 16:45 |
| jrib | beautifulsnow: is that a line? | 16:46 |
| jamiejackson | where does one to see the changelog for a new ubuntu kernel release (my machine just pulled down 2.6.24-21 today) | 16:46 |
| LimCore | jrib: if I want to put above idea also to ubuntus lunchapd bugtacker, then agains what package etc? | 16:46 |
| jamiejackson | where does one [go] to see... that is | 16:46 |
| LimCore | ok found it | 16:46 |
| h4cx3r | hi.. | 16:47 |
| jrib | LimCore: you would be requesting a new package in ubuntu. And in the medibuntu bug tracker, you would put it against the keyring package | 16:47 |
| jrib | !packaging > LimCore | 16:47 |

| vertexoflif1 | everyone buys with something else? tragedy. :-P I don't know what I'm going to do, maybe a reformat might work it out? seems to be an xorg problem, which tends to get fucking messy. | 16:50 |

| beautifulsnow | h4cx3r, sorry, I'm trying to think of what the cause might be. You haven't told us 1) how you went about setting up wireless 2) if it gives you any errors when you try to connect (other than not connecting) | 17:14 |

| jrib | kohnrad1982: yes, that's a possibility | 17:19 |
| VvWolverinevV | jrib: yes, i did some complicated shuffling and reinstalling of HDD's while setting up dual booting, long story short it would be awesome to completely reinstall grub (with OS detection) without reinstalling ubuntu | 17:19 |
| scampbell | paul68: I would put the wireless on a another lan or vlan with another ip address space and just have different scopes for them. | 17:19 |

| jrib | VvWolverinevV: yeah, it's confusing. It's comments for grub, but one # is for the program that generates the new grub entries, and ## is comments for that | 17:24 |

| Spudz | I think it could be useful to a lot of people in India so I'd like to do it properly and offer it to the internet provider company. | 17:30 |
| Skyrail | Ah, that may be it, linux-generic and it's friends | 17:31 |
| josh_ | :S unfortunatly i cant read italian :p | 17:31 |
| paul68 | scampbell: I see but how would I set this up? <---- newby still learning a lot everyday | 17:31 |
| josh_ | im installing that envy thing now | 17:31 |
| LimCore | Application nm-applet wants accessss to the default keyring, but it is locked. wtf is that? I dont remember setting up keyring password.. I have user password only | 17:31 |
| pakus | Hiya | 17:31 |
| Skyrail | That'll be it Flannel, thank you :D I guess that makes sense seeing as it's updating the core heh | 17:31 |
| indian_munnda | josh__: right choice. :0 | 17:31 |
| indian_munnda | :) | 17:31 |
| josh_ | :p | 17:31 |
| paul68 | scampbell: build my server with basic dhcp and dns but that is as far my knowledge goes at this point | 17:31 |
| === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr | ||
| pakus | Is anyone using SSH (client) 1:4.7p1 I've seen strange behavour from yesterday | 17:32 |
| josh_ | i have the 1gb ddr4 version aswell :D | 17:32 |
| jrib | pakus: best to just ask the channel your question | 17:32 |
| indian_munnda | pakus: what the problm with that? | 17:33 |
| scampbell | paul68: The easy thing to do is to create 'host' statements for you known computers, you might as well assign them a fixed Ip address as well, why have them move around on you. You need to know the mac address of the nic to create the host statement. The others will come out of the address pool. | 17:33 |
| pakus | When I try to connect "ssh leis.upc.es" (IP= 147.83.198,104), ssh connection is initiated to 104.198.83.147... As you can see reverse IP! ?¿?¿? | 17:33 |
| GuraX | somebody here who knows how to create device files with mknod ? and where I can get the Major and Minor values ? | 17:33 |
| scampbell | paul68: the example you are looking at is a bit more complex but IMHO kinda useless. You would create the host statement but assign no ip address but rather let them grab an address out of the dhcp 'known' pool. Like I way, I don't really want my known hosts to change ip address ever anyway. | 17:34 |
| pakus | See an example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/57951/ | 17:34 |
| josh_ | ive installed envy but it wont install the drivers :S | 17:34 |
| paul68 | scampbell: the mac adress part is no problem neither the fix IP adresses but don't know how to put this the correct way in the dhcp.conf | 17:35 |
| sqawerlz | I'm having a problem using Go>Connect to server. It says when I attempt to connect to an smb share "Can't display locations smb://server | 17:35 |
| === Lartza__ is now known as Lartza_ | ||
| josh_ | i have the drivers off the ati site on my desktop and its a .run file how do i install that? | 17:35 |
| sqawerlz | it also said "no application is registered to handle this:". | 17:35 |
| indian_munnda | !who | pakus | 17:35 |
| ubottu | pakus: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 17:35 |
| Lartza_ | why do ati drivers suck so much? | 17:36 |
| ralpho | sh | 17:36 |
| Lartza_ | i ahve two issues in one day | 17:36 |
| paul68 | scampbell: I see what you mean but I'm a copy cat (sorry for that) need to see it first in order to see how its done | 17:36 |
| jrib | Spudz: try to instead write a small shell script that executes what you want. Then just do: RUN+="/path/to/shell/script" | 17:36 |
| Lartza_ | opengl games dont wokr with compiz-fusion | 17:36 |
| Lartza_ | and maniadrive is unplayable | 17:36 |
| Flannel | Skyrail: upgrade only upgrades the versions on packages you have installed, dist-upgrade will bring in new dependencies on the packages you have installed if they change (new kernel, etc) | 17:36 |
| indian_munnda | pakus: r u using ubuntu in GUI? | 17:36 |
| Skyrail | Flannel: ah okay, 'tis cool :) thanks | 17:36 |
| paul68 | scampbell: I suppose I have to configure the eth0 from the server as dhcp, and the eth1 as local dhcp distributer | 17:37 |
| scampbell | paul68: look at http://pastebin.com/m75802c2e this example give us 10.1.0.50-127 for 'unknown' computer but also serves several fixed ip addresses to known computers. | 17:37 |
| pakus | indian_munnda: I'm running kubuntu | 17:37 |
| pakus | indian_munnda: I think last update has broke my resolution | 17:37 |
| indian_munnda | pakus: gud, then goto places -> connect to server | 17:37 |
| scampbell | paul68:yes, you want to configure your dhcp server for the inside interface (actually, because it won't have a scope for the outside it wouldn't answer a request from there anyway). | 17:37 |
| indian_munnda | pakus: done? | 17:38 |
| scampbell | paul68: and your outside interface can be a dhcp client. no problem with that at all | 17:38 |
| en1gma | when i use checkinstall to install something how do i remove the pkg if i want to...the pkg i installed with checkinstall is not showing in synaptic | 17:38 |
| indian_munnda | pakus: done? | 17:38 |
| Flannel | en1gma: it should, under "local and obsolete packages", you can also verify it with dpkg: dpkg -l | grep name | 17:38 |
| pakus | indian_munnda: Same behavour | 17:39 |
| eeee | hi all, my ubuntu in GUI session hangs just after login. How should I fix this ? | 17:39 |
| jrib | pakus: what happens if you give the correct ip instead of the hostname? | 17:39 |
| lukas123 | hello, when i want to install kubuntu beside windows, do i have to use the alternate cd to not delete windows? | 17:39 |
| sqawerlz | I'm having a problem using Go>Connect to server. It says when I attempt to connect to an smb share "Can't display locations smb://server". It also said "no application is registered to handle this:". | 17:40 |
| Spudz | jrib: I'll need to wait a few seconds, then execute 'wvdial blahblah'. ideally I'd like to put an icon in the tray, with a few options - disconnect/reconnect, show byte usage stats, show console output (wvdial spews a lot of stuff into the console). What do oyu reccomend? Can I script this or do I need to write a binary? | 17:40 |
| jrib | Spudz: script it, but start with just making it connect | 17:40 |
| Spudz | jrib: Can eg python hack something like that? | 17:40 |
| jrib | Spudz: of course | 17:40 |
| paul68 | scampbell: I see but I want to be the range of the unknown computers limited to 2 or 3 different IP's | 17:40 |
| paul68 | scampbell: then I need to adapt it from 10.1.0.50-55 | 17:41 |
| Spudz | jrib: cool - I'm fresh in from windows, which would require a binary to do the same. so all this stuff is new to me! | 17:42 |
| eternal_p | hey all quick question..I found a bug in a problem and a solution was posted to bugzilla with a .patch extension, when I try and do a ./file.patch it does not work...is there another way to incorporate said patch? | 17:42 |
| sqawerlz | I'm having a problem using Go>Connect to server. It says when I attempt to connect to an smb share "Can't display locations smb://server". It also said "no application is registered to handle this:". | 17:43 |
| jrib | eternal_p: you need to rebuild the package, applying the patch | 17:43 |
| eternal_p | jrib: thanks..which I have no idea how to do :) | 17:43 |
| paul68 | scampbell: does it also mean that I have to add the accesspoints seperately in here or is that useless since the linksys is directly connected to the server and the airport express is connected to the linksys | 17:43 |
| jrib | !source > eternal_p | 17:43 |
| ubottu | eternal_p, please see my private message | 17:43 |
| indian_munnda | lukas123: just install kde packages | 17:44 |
| jrib | eternal_p: that's how to rebuild a package. 'man patch' tells you how to apply a patch (it's very readable) | 17:44 |
| === blablabloblu is now known as blablabblu | ||
| paul68 | scampbell: do I also need to adapt the interfaces file and add the wlan in there or is that useless? | 17:44 |
| scampbell | paul68: You can add the accesspoints if you want them to get their ip address from the dhcp server, they would be 'hosts' then. Otherwise you can just give them ip address. | 17:44 |

| Grim76__ | SpiritSight: did you delete your ubuntu partitions? | 17:47 |
| scampbell | Reaverbot: 7z e whateverfile | 17:47 |
| SpiritSight | not the one I am using but a different one | 17:47 |
| sely | jrib: so when i want to kill the info script i have to manually kill all the child processes | 17:47 |
| Reaverbot | 7z e or 7z -e | 17:47 |
| indian_munnda | SpiritSight: what u did to the partitions? | 17:47 |
| h4cx3r | trilobit: ok...so shall we continue to my problem | 17:48 |
| Grim76__ | SpiritSight: If you deleted the partitions there is nothing to boot to at that point. Sounds as though this is a dual boot system? | 17:48 |
| indian_munnda | SpiritSight: goto grub | 17:48 |
| indian_munnda | in terminal | 17:48 |
| trilobit` | h4cx3r: I'll do what I can. I might leave soon but yes we go on. | 17:48 |
| scampbell | Reaverbot: 7z e or 7z x x uses pathnames, e does not. man 7z tells you all about it. | 17:48 |
| SpiritSight | Yes its a dual booting system | 17:48 |

If you think you can please open a private chat with me. thank you very much | 17:49 |
| trilobit` | h4cx3r: so you had the wifi working and only after the broadband connection you have problems with wifi. The problem persists all the time or only when you're connected via broadband at the same teme ? | 17:49 |
| SpiritSight | No, I had two ubuntu system one with 8.04 and other with 8.10 I am geting ride of the 8.10 partion | 17:49 |
| trilobit` | ((time)) | 17:49 |
| scampbell | Reaverbot: man is very usefull command. It pulls up the manual page for a give command. 'man man' will bring up it's own man page to get you started :) | 17:49 |
| scampbell | er, for a given command that is. | 17:50 |
| h4cx3r | trilobit: could we pm..because i kinda dizzy with all this chat =) | 17:50 |
| scampbell | Mmm, lunch at mongolian... back later | 17:50 |
| jrib | sely: well pkill has a -P option which should let you kill the children, but not children of children | 17:50 |
| trilobit` | h4cx3r: but others might be interested in the same issue. | 17:50 |
| paul68 | scampbell: well in the interfaces file you have the eth0 and eth1 declaration like Iface eth1 inet static with the Ip range and stuff do I need to add the wlan inhere aswell | 17:50 |
| Grim76__ | SpiritSight: Sounds like you will need to re-install grub to the partition that has your 8.04 installed. | 17:50 |

| jrib | ajrion: no | 17:53 |
| sqawerlz | ajiron, I do not. I think you may have a host problem or a dns issue | 17:53 |
| MaxHavoc | ajrion, Check your /etc/hosts file | 17:53 |
| ajrion | sqawerlz: what do u mean? | 17:54 |
| ajrion | MaxHavoc: it is same on my other computer on windows | 17:54 |
| sqawerlz | ajiron, what MaxHavoc said. what is in your host file? | 17:54 |
| sely | jrib: oh, i guess i am an idiot...i was using kill -9 in stead of kill -1...kill -1 seems to kill child processes | 17:54 |
| trilobit` | h4cx3r: I know. but you might end up in a situation like that. I have a laptop that has ethernet which I connect to a dsl modem. I also have wifi card. I configure the ethernet manually, wifi is automatic. Now, when I want to use wifi, I have to disable the ethernet, otherwise wifi won't work for me. | 17:54 |

| MaxHavoc | ajrion, Sometimes viruses change the /etc/hosts file to redirect common sites to infected ones, so see if there are any entries in there that look weird | 17:58 |
| h4cx3r | trilobit: there is no response | 17:58 |
| MaxHavoc | ajrion, Really there should be no entries in there except for localhost 127.0.0.1 | 17:58 |

| Pen | hi | 17:58 |
| trilobit` | h4cx3r: how many default gateways appear? use "route -n" to check. | 17:58 |
| MaxHavoc | indian_munnda, Samba is a Linux version of the SMB protocol which Windows uses for NetBIOS file shares and such | 17:59 |

| CyD | hey guys, got kind of a crazy question. i made an ubuntu-server vm in vmware infrastructure, then exported it as an appliance. when i import it back in, eth0 doesn't work, i have to go to eth1. i was wondering if it is some problem with the nic getting a new mac address, any ideas? | 18:01 |
| indian_munnda | MaxHavoc: u mean samba is used over a network of computers or on the net? | 18:01 |
| MaxHavoc | indian_munnda, Samba is used when you connect to Windows network shares, so yes it's over a network | 18:01 |

| indian_munnda | MaxHavoc: now got it completely, thank you sir. :) | 18:04 |
| trilobit` | h4cx3r: in the meantime, you check if the wifi interface is brought up, and also how many default gateways appear. Also, you might have to see the /etc/resolv.conf at several moments to see what nameservers are configured. Sometimes the wifi will try to use the broadband nameserver and that won't do. | 18:04 |
| trilobit` | I'm off now. Good luck. | 18:04 |

| dethstar | Chubbz, whenever I try to enable the effects... it says "the composite extension is not available" | 18:14 |
| MaxHavoc | Reaverbot, You need an image burning software, not sure what's out there for Linux, do a google search for linux image burning | 18:14 |
| Chubbz | @Reaverbot I had to use a program called magiciso in windows | 18:14 |
| dethstar | never seen it before... I used envy to install the driver for my 8800GTS | 18:14 |
| Chubbz | it wont burn with a normal iso burning program | 18:14 |
| jrib | ^Cheeky: yes | 18:14 |
| epifanio | i've these joipad : http://www.commentcamarche.net/guide-achat/trust-dual-stick-gamepad-gm-1520-pc-630390-caracteristiques-techniques i want connect it to linux ... and see in a terminal what i'm pressing on the joipad ... can you point me on what channel or docs need i to read ? i'm using ubuntu and i've a little python knowledge | 18:15 |
| jrib | !iso | Reaverbot | 18:15 |
| ubottu | Reaverbot: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 18:15 |
| dethstar | also, whenever I go to change screensavers... X crashes | 18:15 |
| Reaverbot | Yeah, I have a program in Debian... but I tried use it, but nothing. | 18:15 |
| MaxHavoc | epifanio, Why would you need a joystick in a command shell? | 18:15 |
| Reaverbot | I mean, I have a .bin file, I need to transform it to a .iso file so I could burn it. | 18:16 |

| Reaverbot | Oh, thats the problem | 18:19 |
| epifanio | MaxHavoc: i've a program (like google heart) in it is possible to move the world using tcp signal ... so if can i decode the joipad message (maybe using python-serial? or other tools, i do not know) i can use the joipad instead of gui | 18:19 |
| en1gma | Pici thanks | 18:19 |
| Reaverbot | here is "cdrecord has no permission to open the device" | 18:19 |
| Pici | en1gma: But, FYI, checkinstall debs are *not* for distributing to other users. | 18:19 |
| unitedpotsmokers | RickZilla, they said to me just now, we need format and make a fresh install | 18:19 |
| en1gma | Pici yea thats fine | 18:20 |
| Reaverbot | Permission for "sudo" means? How I can give it permission? | 18:20 |

| unitedpotsmokers | yea, i ask people how to enable webcam but nobody cant help i think... | 18:21 |
| thebornotaku | also is there a default password for the su command in the terminal or the sudo command, I tried my account password, password, admin, null and administrator and nothing worked | 18:21 |
| d-b | misteralexander: yep. easy but why do you need to reinstall misteralexander | 18:21 |
| Pici | !root | thebornotaku | 18:21 |
| ubottu | thebornotaku: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:21 |
| ericjung | anyone know the name of shooting game for Ubuntu that is like Doom? | 18:21 |

| noodlesgc | Chubbz, how does a checkinstall package violate the gpl? | 18:22 |
| Pici | thebornotaku: Only if your user is in the admin group or explicitly listed in the sudoers file. | 18:22 |
| d-b | it is in hardy. checkinstall.... | 18:22 |
| d-b | well theoretically you could reboot to a live cd and tar the contents of your disk or use dd. | 18:23 |
| thebornotaku | can anybody help me out with getting a wireless card's drivers and getting it configured? | 18:23 |
| zeeeee | oh, a second reboot made my problem disappear. *shrug* | 18:24 |
| misteralexander | d-b: So, just zipping it up will do it? There isn't some crazy "Backup Wizard" I need? | 18:24 |
| mint | I have /boot, /home and / on different partitions, can I just reinstall / from a live cd without messing anything up? | 18:24 |
| unitedpotsmokers | !best | 18:24 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:24 |
| d-b | otherwise just copy /var/cache/apt (the contents ) and the configuration files you have edited from /etc - you might also want to export your apt /package selections. | 18:24 |

| davismj | thats because of tracker, i think | 18:43 |

| amenado | AlexMax--> what logs are you looking for? | 19:23 |
| cyban | trying to use X Server for Nvidia and have the new drivers installed, but it cant seem to save to the xorg.conf file, would chmod fix it or is their a better way | 19:23 |
| jclbrt | SpiritSight: you may have removed grub by accident when deleting the partition | 19:23 |
| jclbrt | what partition did you delete? | 19:23 |
| AlexMax | amenado: Well, I'm not 100% sure. However, I'm willing to bet that the fact that gnome-panel is refusing to load is being logged somewhere | 19:23 |
| danbh_intrepid | macvr: where is initrd.gz? | 19:23 |
| cyban | nm, su -- worked | 19:24 |
| amenado | AlexMax--> how much are you willing to bet? not all events are logged, depends on the configs | 19:24 |
| AlexMax | Well why would GNOME's desktop load but not the menu bars | 19:24 |
| macvr | danbh_intrepid: /boot/initrd.gz | 19:24 |
| AlexMax | I know they're two different processes, but how would i even begin to figure out what's going wrong? | 19:24 |
| bakarat | come on lads, i've asked this question at irregular intervals, are you really telling me there are no meta-data-for-regular-files systems in linux? :| | 19:25 |
| Dreamglider | i guess a reinstall is the only option left for me. :/ | 19:25 |
| AlexMax | I've already tried safe mode too | 19:25 |
| unitedpotsmokers | danbh_intrepid, isaacj87, macvr, thanks for the info.. i thought we have a second choice to get a final interpid cds.. | 19:25 |
| AlexMax | or rather GNOME safe mode | 19:25 |
| assargadon | Mmm...do someone know some place with documentaion about ndiswrapper? I mean, I installed driver of my GPRS-modem, ndiswrapper -l show it to me as installed. But how can I use it? Maybe some devise should appear in /dev ? | 19:25 |
| unitedpotsmokers | ermm, can we request a final cd of interpid now? | 19:26 |
| danbh_intrepid | macvr: well, sorry, I'm on intrepid. Looks like they got rid of that. | 19:26 |
| Vladimir | Hello. How i can view some information about my machine? e.g. CPU % use or RAM % use.. | 19:26 |
| amenado | try metacity --replace & | 19:26 |

| Vladimir | thanks :) | 19:27 |

| mongolai | Vladimir: there should also be a GUI "System Monitor" in the system menu | 19:27 |
| unitedpotsmokers | danbh_intrepid, yea... but can we start order now? | 19:27 |
| AlexMax | so, how do I wipe my gnome config? | 19:27 |
| isaacj87 | unitedpotsmokers: yeah, you can go ahead and request the cd now. I think they've already started to take "pre-orders" | 19:27 |
| macvr | danbh_intrepid: how is intrepid? | 19:28 |
| amenado | AlexMax--> try deleting those ~/.gnome directory? | 19:28 |

| unitedpotsmokers | i also used the interpid before, but i got a problem when my laptop made a noise (buzz) before i log in ubuntu | 19:30 |
| amenado | AlexMax--> possibly, i dont know it in-depth | 19:30 |
| mongolai | AlexMax: try creating another user, log into that and see if things are all well | 19:31 |

| danbh_intrepid | LuYu: what would that be? | 19:33 |
| sluimers | I'm not getting any sound, can someone help me with this problem? | 19:33 |

| danbh_intrepid | thebossut: have you tried to remove with --purge? | 19:35 |
| mongolai | AlexMax: have you tried gnome-reset ? | 19:35 |
| unitedpotsmokers | i mean how to set a user's name.. sorry for my bad english | 19:35 |
| thebossut | i think so | 19:35 |
| thebossut | so apt-get remove --purge apache2 | 19:35 |
| thebossut | right | 19:35 |

| AlexMax | mongolai: no | 19:36 |
| danbh_intrepid | thebossut: well, that may only be the meta package | 19:36 |
| macvr | unitedpotsmokers: which messenger are u using? | 19:37 |
| mongolai | AlexMax: look that up and give it a shot. Try creating a new, new user first and mess up the settings, then try it | 19:37 |
| danbh_intrepid | thebossut: maybe apache2.2-common and maybe all the apache packages. | 19:37 |
| AlexMax | mongolai: It's worthless. gnome-reset only works in a GUI | 19:37 |
| thebossut | yea i need every thing re-installed | 19:37 |
| AlexMax | i can't access a gui when I'm logged into my user account | 19:37 |

| AlexMax | those ctrl-alt-f1 through f6 terminals are not attached to a GUI | 19:39 |
| franki | hmm, i thought that it would say what the link was, but it's about ubuntu not recognising canon powershot a460s | 19:39 |
| thebossut | seems it might be working | 19:39 |
| AlexMax | they're attached to their own dumb terminals | 19:39 |
| AlexMax | ctrl-alt-f7 is not a dumb terminal | 19:39 |
| AlexMax | which is where i need it | 19:39 |
| mongolai | AlexMax: not quite. you know that you can hit alt+f2 in a borked gnome to get a one shot command-line, right? | 19:39 |
| unitedpotsmokers | can someone answer my question? | 19:39 |
| macvre | unitedpotsmokers: /nic desiredusername | 19:40 |

| AlexMax | and i cant tell whats going on because it only loads an xterm, no window manager | 19:42 |
| misteralexander | AlexMax: alt+f2 . . . then type "xterm" | 19:42 |
| IdleOne | unitedpotsmokers: use TAB key | 19:42 |
| danbh_intrepid | !tab | unitedpotsmokers | 19:42 |
| ubottu | unitedpotsmokers: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:42 |
| jharkn | sorry, 2.6.27 here ;) | 19:42 |
| isaacj87 | unitedpotsmokers: yeah, the TAB key | 19:42 |
| unitedpotsmokers | oh... i ll try | 19:42 |
| macvr | unitedpotsmokers: type part of name and then <tab> | 19:42 |
| misteralexander | AlexMax: quicker and easier than my idea, achieving the same results. | 19:42 |
| AlexMax | that does nothing | 19:42 |
| thebossut | what about my nick unitedpot | 19:43 |
| unitedpotsmokers | wait.. i want to test | 19:43 |
| danbh_intrepid | AlexMax: try this, type danbh <tab> | 19:43 |

| misteralexander | AlexMax: Perhaps an X issue . . . | 19:47 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: my uname -a says that i have>>> UBUNTU-laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1.... but i updated to 2.6.24-21 am i missing something? i restarted also after updating ... how do i check the version my initrd.gz??? | 19:47 |
| mongolai | misteralexander: IMO it's only a gnome problem. probably caused from a mangled attempt at a fix. | 19:47 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: how u u log in? do u have to select the kernel 24-21 or default? | 19:47 |

It looks great, and beautiful compare to XP and Vista... :) | 19:48 |
| misteralexander | mongolai: Perhaps so, he's having allot of the same issues I did once, and all my fixes aren't working for him, that's why I thought it was a higher level problem, beyond gnome. | 19:48 |

| w0ls0n | hello all. How do I mount an smbfs volume? I tried /usr/sbin/mount_smbfs -N //wolson@Nelson/backups /data it said mount_smbfs didn't exist | 19:52 |
| jharkn | sounds like macvr's menu.lst maybe wasn't updated? | 19:52 |
| rhombus | When i specify the package I want to update, it wants to update libc6 as well. Is that going to totally break my system? | 19:53 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: i did the restart. i'm not sure if the new update got installed properly! did u get the update? what kernel are u using? | 19:53 |
| spiritssight | is there a problem updating right now with 8.10 I don't get response on #ubuntu+1 | 19:53 |
| c4r1o | i have a volume problem on Dell 1530, any tip? | 19:53 |

| macvr | jharkn: i checked the menu.lst i have 3 options.> default, 24-21, 24-19 ... default points to initrd.gz which has kernel 24-19 is this normal? | 19:54 |
| mongolai | AlexMax: sorry. I just realized you might not be able to see the link. It's about how to reset gnome settings. basically you can do a "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity" and should be good. I don't know about compiz, nor do I know if this actually works, but it's worth a shot | 19:54 |
| Jacobbs | AlexMax | 19:54 |
| Jacobbs | be careful about using rm lol | 19:54 |
| macvr | jharkn: what kernel are u using? | 19:55 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: did u try cat /proc/version ? | 19:55 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: or uname -r | 19:55 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: Linux version 2.6.24-19-generic (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) | 19:55 |
| Fastly | i recently installed 8.10 beta and can't seem to find most programs listed in synaptic, including php, apache, mysql etc... | 19:56 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: so, now u know whats up | 19:56 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: which kernel are u using? | 19:56 |
| pen | is it possible to have drawer style in some apps? | 19:56 |
| Fastly | do i need to enable another repo? | 19:56 |
| jharkn | macvr: sounds like you need to change your menu.lst to me, I'm on arch though personally, not ubuntu (well I do have ubuntu on a partition) | 19:56 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: y? :) | 19:56 |
| pen | like in mac you have drawer style | 19:56 |
| AlexMax | mongolai: Whelp, that didn't work either | 19:57 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: i know what is up... but not sure the update is fine? | 19:57 |
| AlexMax | that article | 19:57 |
| AlexMax | settings are being stored SOMEWHERE but i cant figure out where | 19:57 |
| balz | Users can be in multiple groups, correct? | 19:57 |
| genii | balz: Correct | 19:57 |
| balz | thx | 19:58 |
| jharkn | macvr: when I updated my ubuntu kernel last the menu.lst update was interactive and I could choose to do it manually. maybe you did that by accident? | 19:58 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: if u dont know about kernel u better dont change anything, u best do your updates via the repos and be happy your box is running | 19:58 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: if u are using kernel 24-21 did u select the option 24-21 or default in grub? if u selected default could u check the initrid.gz | 19:58 |
| Fastly | is there another channel for ibex? | 19:58 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hey, i just want to know, i heard openoffice has a new final version. the problem is u had update ubuntu via update manager just now, but when i open open office, it still an older version.. how to update open office to version 3.0? | 19:58 |
| jharkn | !ibex | fastly | 19:58 |
| ubottu | fastly: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu | 19:58 |
| Aberrant | Evening all - got an issue with LiveCD not seeing any of my hdds to install onto (fdisk -l returned nothing). Thoughts/Ideas? Using 8.04 liveCD | 19:59 |
| macvr | jharkn: i didnt get the gurb update :( are using 24-21? | 19:59 |
| Fastly | thanks jharkn | 19:59 |
| AlexMax | on top of that, I probably lost everything important i had in my gnome sticky notes | 19:59 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: what changed from 24-19 to 24-21? | 19:59 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hey, i just want to know, i heard openoffice has a new final version. the problem is i had update ubuntu via update manager just now, but when i open open office, it still an older version.. how to update open office to version 3.0? | 19:59 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: i dont ... thats what i'm trying to find out! | 19:59 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: i want to use my card reader... seems that it works in24-21 | 20:00 |
| jharkn | macvr: just update your menu.lst manually, that's what I'd do. no I'm not, I'm on 2.6.27-ARCH. | 20:00 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: so either u learn about kernel or u just leave it be | 20:00 |
| mongolai | AlexMax: well, I'm fresh out of suggestions to fix. As a last resort, you can create a new user, then transfer your personal files over and chown them, or something like that... Good luck! | 20:00 |
| AlexMax | mongolai: That's what I'm probably going to have to do | 20:00 |
| macvr | jharkn: do u have a /boot/initrd.gz file? | 20:00 |
| jharkn | macvr: I'll check my /boot now for ya | 20:01 |
| mongolai | AlexMax: or totally remove gnome-desktop (i think it's called), then reinstall it, but that might put you back to square 1 | 20:01 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: for ur card reader-did u try to find a module to append to your 24-19 kernel? | 20:01 |
| Tankado | I try to convert an .rpm file to .deb file using fakeroot alien --scripts VMware-workstation-6.0.*.rpm but i get /usr/bin/fakeroot: 166: alien: not found | 20:02 |
| Tankado | what should i do? | 20:02 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: i did but nothing worked... are u using ubuntu 24-21? i updated only via the regular updates? how come i got the kernel update as system required? | 20:03 |
| * Saisher LOL | 20:03 | |
| misteralexander | Tankado: Stupid question, I know, but you have alien installed, right? | 20:04 |
| jharkn | macvr: on my ubuntu /boot I have no initrd.gz but I'm not up-to-date either | 20:04 |
| chfwiggum | macvr: do u run 8.10? | 20:04 |
| Tankado | i installed fakeroot, i am tring to install it now so i guess that was the problem ;) | 20:04 |
| Tankado | sorry | 20:04 |
| jharkn | macvr: but I'd guess you shouldn't have one unless you did it yourself | 20:04 |
| bullgard4 | What program is suitable to concatenate 4 .flv videos? | 20:04 |
| misteralexander | alien '/location/of/your/rpm/file.rpm' 'place/you/want/deb/dropped.deb' | 20:04 |
| macvr | jharkn: i think that newer versions dont have /boot/initrd.gz i heard that intrepid doesnt have that file too... | 20:05 |
| misteralexander | Tankado: alien '/location/of/your/rpm/file.rpm' 'place/you/want/deb/dropped.deb' | 20:05 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hey, i want to install some software at appnr website, some of the buttons are orange color. the name of button is 'medibuntu'.. but i cant install that software.. what is medibuntu and how to install software with "medibuntu" type... | 20:05 |
| magnetron | bullgard4, maybe ffmpeg, i'm not sure. i'm sure ffmpeg supports the flv format | 20:05 |
| Tankado | yeah its working now, thanks | 20:05 |
| bullgard4 | magnetron: Thank you. | 20:05 |
| macvr | chfwiggum: no i use 8.04... are u using 8.04 kernel 24-21? | 20:05 |
| jharkn | macvr: initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic is what I have | 20:05 |
| macvr | jharkn: i have that too.. | 20:06 |
| spiritssight | I get this error when I try and do updates for 8.10: It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages. | 20:06 |

| SeamaeS | I did an apt-get update on my 8.04 server and it showed a kernel upgrade to 21. Why isn't this upgrade on the USN list? | 20:07 |
| Skyrail | A recent automatic kernel update on Ubuntu Hardy has screwed up and it won't boot into ubuntu now and just leaves be with a shell, it gives me two revalidation failed messages (errono=-5) before giving me a bit of info and logging into shell | 20:08 |
| jharkn | macvr: do you have an equivalent file for the latest kernel? | 20:08 |
| jharkn | macvr: and a vmlinuz of course... | 20:08 |
| six2one | i upgraded to the new kernel as well...all seems fine on my end | 20:08 |
| sjea | what programs better then wine? | 20:09 |
| six2one | i did it on 2 machines and both are solid | 20:09 |
| sjea | sorry hello all | 20:09 |
| chfwiggum | sjea: vmware | 20:09 |
| sjea | thank you chfwiggum | 20:09 |
| happosade | sjea: cedeka | 20:09 |
| macvr | jharkn: i have the /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic and else... i could toggle the options... but i dont know if it is normal to hav the default option to remain at the older kernel after an update? | 20:09 |
| happosade | or how jo write it | 20:09 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Shutdown from the cli does a regular shutdown of the system? | 20:09 |
| happosade | you | 20:09 |
| sjea | thx hap | 20:09 |
| six2one | crossover is alright as well.. | 20:10 |
| six2one | but its not free | 20:10 |
| macvr | anyone has recently updated the kernel to 24-21 from 24-19 via the regular updates? | 20:10 |
| jharkn | macvr: no it isn't otherwise it wouldn't bother updating ;) | 20:10 |
| mongolai | Azhi_Dahaka: it can. It can also do other things like reboot, etc | 20:10 |
| Skyrail | Mhm, I've no idea why it messes up, I've updated macvr | 20:10 |
| six2one | macvr: i did | 20:10 |

| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 20:11 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I mean, if i use shutdown from the cli for a timed shutdown, the internal process is the same that happens when I close via the Quit Button? | 20:11 |
| macvr | Skyrail: six2one : how do u choose in grub? do u toggle to option 24-21 or the default option? | 20:11 |
| vrivett | when I type ----- apt-get install -f --------- I get the following | 20:12 |
| Skyrail | Well mine's is borked at the moment, so I couldn't help sorry macvr | 20:12 |
| vrivett | The following extra packages will be installed: | 20:12 |
| vrivett | libmono-system-data2.0-cil libmono2.0-cil libndesk-dbus1.0-cil | 20:12 |
| Skyrail | Azhi_Dahaka: as far as I know it goes through the same shutdown process | 20:12 |
| mongolai | Azhi_Dahaka: well, that's getting a little bit tricky. gnome seems to first check certain programs if there's unsaved data and will prompt the user to save. I don't think the CLI shutdown program does this | 20:12 |
| six2one | macvr: my grub is set to default to the newest, which is selected to -21 | 20:12 |
| vrivett | then ...... Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code | 20:12 |

| Arch3Angel | ok someone has to know what the heck is going on | 20:13 |
| jharkn | macvr: then update your grub.lst manually | 20:13 |
| macvr | six2one: when i choose the default option it loads 24-19! my initrd.gz file has 24-19 ... though i have the option to toggle to 24-21... is this normal? | 20:13 |
| six2one | macvr: it depends on your grub conf i think. let me check something on my end for you.. | 20:14 |
| Arch3Angel | i got ubuntu 8.04 lts installed on that hp mini-note and iwconfig displays info for a wireless device however the switch will not turn on (blue) and only stays orange which is off | 20:14 |

| rhombus | I have a gutsy server, and I need to run OpenSSH 5 on it (for the chroot support). It's not in backports. What's the best way to do this? | 20:14 |
| vrivett | can someone tell me what I need to do here is a paste of what is happening http://paste.ubuntu.com/57998/ | 20:14 |
| mongolai | Azhi_Dahaka: shutdown will work, there is just a risk of losing unsaved personal data. Im not really sure of any way around this for a timed shutdown | 20:14 |
| plamar | what C++ editor do you guys use? What editor also supports find in files? | 20:15 |
| macvr | six2one: jharkn http://paste.ubuntu.com/57999/ | 20:16 |
| rhombus | plamar: vi | 20:16 |
| vrivett | I am having trouble running apt-get and have been up all night trying to fix it | 20:16 |
| jharkn | plamar: check out geany though I havn't really used it for programming yet personally | 20:16 |
| balz | How do I restrict a user to a single directory on a drive? The drive is umasked to 002 and the user does not belong to the group that owns the drive, he is in a group by himself. | 20:16 |
| rhombus | balz: one way to do that would be chroot the user. OpenSSH 5 supports that. | 20:17 |
| rhombus | balz: what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 20:17 |
| balz | rhombus hardy | 20:17 |
| six2one | macvr: we have a difference | 20:17 |
| alexmax | bah | 20:17 |
| balz | rhombus: what is chroot exactly? | 20:17 |
| macvr | six2one: ? | 20:18 |
| rhombus | balz: then you're in the same boat that I am. I need OpenSSH 5, but it's not in hardy (or gutsy) and it's not in the backports. | 20:18 |
| six2one | macvr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58003/ | 20:18 |
| rhombus | balz: It makes a directory of your choice appear as root to the logged in user. | 20:18 |
| balz | rhombus: and this can't be done without openssh 5? | 20:18 |
| six2one | macvr: i think order matters | 20:19 |
| rhombus | balz: not easily. You can chroot with any ssh, but OpenSSH 5 has some tools to make it easy | 20:19 |
| rhombus | balz: or rather, it integrates an easy method | 20:19 |
| macvr | six2one: k... could u check something else out? do u have a /boot/initrd.gz file? | 20:19 |
| knut_ | guerda? | 20:19 |
| six2one | macvr: checking | 20:19 |
| rhombus | balz: so the challenge is to find an OpenSSH 5 package that is going to work. | 20:19 |
| balz | rhombus: gotcha. that's a pain... do you know where i can find more information? | 20:19 |
| balz | yeah or to figure out how to chroot under whatever version of ssh i have... | 20:20 |
| rhombus | balz: If I did, I wouldn't be here :) | 20:20 |
| paul68 | amenado: are you here? | 20:20 |
| balz | rhombus: right =) | 20:20 |
| rhombus | balz: don't waste your time -- focus on upgrading to OpenSSH 5 | 20:20 |
| balz | rhombus: okay. well intrepid should be coming out soon, anyway | 20:20 |
| six2one | macvr: not in that location, where should it be? | 20:20 |
| rhombus | balz: oh -- well, OpenSSH 5 is *in* intrepid | 20:21 |
| Skyrail | I presume there is no easy way to roll back a dist-upgrade command easily, right? | 20:21 |
| rhombus | balz: but that doesn't help you if you have a production system running an older Ubuntu, does it? | 20:21 |
| macvr | six2one: /boot/initrd.gz << i have the file in boot! how did i get this file!!! could u search if u have an initrd.gz file? | 20:21 |
| balz | rhombus: production is a strong word. it's a mythtv box | 20:21 |
| rhombus | balz: Well, in my case I have a production server :) | 20:22 |
| balz | rhombus: so if anything it lowers my productivity. but i love it anyway =) | 20:22 |
| rhombus | balz: i've tried adding the intrepid repositories, but then it pulls in all these scary dependencies, like libc6 | 20:23 |
| rhombus | balz: I can just see this breaking everything | 20:23 |
| balz | haha yeah it's never simple, is it | 20:23 |
| balz | rhombus: well hopefully when intrepid rolls out officially it shoudl be plenty stable | 20:23 |
| balz | rhombus: i still don't think i'll be touching it within the first 30 days | 20:24 |
| rhombus | balz: that still doesn't help someone running an older Ubuntu. | 20:24 |
| six2one | macvr: looking.... | 20:24 |
| macvr | six2one: k... | 20:24 |
| rhombus | balz: they're not going to do an upgrade on a running server | 20:24 |
| beejay77 | welcome enerybody | 20:24 |
| xlizard | help! iwlagn: iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2 | 20:25 |
| balz | rhombus: you're talking about your server, right? or will i not be able to upgrade to intrepid? | 20:25 |
| beejay77 | anybody have "phun"? | 20:25 |
| strange | hey guys i just bought a new tb hdd, what is the best program to check if it has no faults? | 20:25 |
| balz | beejay77: man phut =) | 20:25 |
| rhombus | balz: One doesn't normally do in-place upgrades on working servers. | 20:25 |
| six2one | macvr: didnt find anything | 20:25 |
| balz | *phun | 20:25 |
| thebossut | ok i am back apache2 fixed | 20:26 |
| thebossut | now to get php working | 20:26 |
| six2one | macvr: i think its some ramdisk thing? or netboot? i just searched my LTSP server for it and came up short | 20:26 |
| genii | strange: The Ultimate Boot CD has manufacturer-specific diagnostics on it, very useful | 20:26 |
| balz | rhombus: what do you mean? sorry i'm very very new to the ubuntu realm | 20:26 |
| thebossut | i have installed the package and set it up i think but if try to run test.php it wants to d/l the file | 20:26 |
| thebossut | so i know it is not handling it correctly | 20:26 |
| Skyrail | So, I did apt-get dist-upgrade to update the kernel as the auto updater wanted to, I restarted and now it won't boot into ubuntu, the loading screen stays for a while but then it logs into the shell and stays at that, I can't even look in my /boot/ folder as it doesn't seem to exist on the shell | 20:27 |
| macvr | six2one: well i dont know how i got the file!!! ok... how do i edit my menu.lst? should i just comment out the first options? how do i make 24-21 the default? | 20:27 |
| macvr | to start ? | 20:27 |
| rhombus | balz: Are you new to Linux? | 20:27 |
| balz | rhombus: eeh. I've been toying around with it for about 2 years... nothing advanced. I'm just confused as to what you're saying exactly... is it not a good idea to apt-get dist-upgrade? | 20:28 |
| xlizard | Skyrail: that sounds you are in busybox ... you forgot to load storage or filesystem module | 20:28 |
| Chubbz | @macvr sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst its pretty self explanatory after that | 20:28 |
| six2one | macvr: you should be able to just move things around | 20:29 |
| Skyrail | xlizard: erm, I don't even know what busybox is :/ | 20:29 |
| macvr | i noticed that u have menulst which ends with >>> vga=773 what does this option do? | 20:29 |
| sjea | vmware fusion is that the one i use? | 20:29 |
| rhombus | balz: It's not generally advisable to do that on a system that's stable and running, no. | 20:29 |
| Chubbz | @macvr I woulnd't mess around with it unless your trying to fix something | 20:29 |
| six2one | macvr: or better yet...copy the one you want to start and then plop it down on the top of the list and COMMENT the other one out | 20:29 |

| genii | Skyrail: busybox is like a small set of commands that it dumps you to when it can't find actual system to load | 20:30 |
| limitedwisdom | any thoughts? | 20:30 |
| balz | rhombus: is it possible to downgrade? | 20:30 |
| rhombus | balz: Things rarely go smoothly, let's just put it that way | 20:30 |
| balz | i see | 20:30 |
| mongolai | balz: it's usually ok to do that, but as rhombus said, production servers are a whole different game. | 20:30 |
| rhombus | balz: that I don't know. I haven't used Ubuntu much. | 20:30 |
| thebossut | i have installed the package and set it up i think but if try to run test.php it wants to d/l the file | 20:30 |
| thebossut | i have installed the package and set it up i think but if try to run test.php it wants to d/l the file | 20:30 |
| mongolai | ...or can of worms as it were | 20:30 |
| Skyrail | genii: xlizard: yeh, that's probably what it is, all lines start with (initramfs), all I did was install the update it wanted heh | 20:30 |
| Chubbz | @thebossut edit your httpd.conf to include the php mime type | 20:31 |
| balz | mongolai: okay. I guess i can afford to have issues on a mythtv box =) I'll probably wait a few months after intrepid comes out though | 20:31 |
| rhombus | balz: Yeah, it sounds like mongolai has been there. When there are paying customers at the other end of a machine, extra rigor is called for | 20:31 |
| macvr | six2one: Chubbz: i'm looking at the file... i have setup the such that the grub selects in 1 sec after the timeout? does it just recognize the first entry? or does it look for anything else | 20:31 |
| xlizard | Skyrail, THATS buybox ;) ... boot with a boot-cd into rescue mode und reinstall kernel image ... with some luck initramfs will be created correctly | 20:31 |
| balz | rhombus: yeah that makes absolute sense. I probably wouldn't even want to stray from LTS versions | 20:31 |
| thebossut | I AM USING WEBMIN | 20:32 |
| thebossut | sorry caps | 20:32 |
| Skyrail | xlizard: right, I'll see what I can do :) | 20:32 |
| Phantomas | Can anyone help me configure my tv card? I have tried many times with no result .... It's an Avermedia Hybrid A16AR | 20:32 |
| balachmar | I want to use sbackup and I want it to make quite frequent backups, but I am right in thinking it doesn't start automatically? Because I set it up earlier today and rebooted, but it didn't continue to make backups. How can I make it start automatically? | 20:32 |
| rhombus | So, does anybody have any suggestions for how I can get an OpenSSH 5 package that will work safely in Gutsy? | 20:32 |
| thebossut | application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 application/x-httpd-php-source .phps | 20:33 |
| xlizard | anybody knows why iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode has been removed? | 20:33 |
| xlizard | in interrepid | 20:33 |
| genii | Skyrail: You can go into livecd, then mount the old / partition and then chroot there to reinstall linux-image-<whichever kernel version failed> and it should rebuild the initramfs | 20:33 |
| sqawerlz | I want to make my own themes for gnome, how do I do that? | 20:33 |

| azhar27 | Does anyone know a good backup software for Ubuntu ? | 20:34 |
| Phantomas | please help me configure it | 20:34 |
| balachmar | @azhar27: sbackup | 20:34 |
| xlizard | genii: thank you for translating ;=))) | 20:34 |
| ichbinesderelch | azhar27: yes, "cp -r ~/ /backupfolder :P | 20:34 |
| Skyrail | genii: okay, thanks, I'll see what happens, it will be fiddly with my dodgy SATA support as well | 20:35 |
| balachmar | Azhar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/SimpleBackupSuite | 20:35 |
| azhar27 | @ichbinesderelch - I was asking more of scheduled backups. | 20:35 |
| azhar27 | @balachmar - Thanks. | 20:35 |
| limitedwisdom | any help with the cron job question? | 20:36 |
| xlizard | azhar27, rsync is nice ;) | 20:36 |
| meoblast001 | wtf is up with CUPS... i deleted a printer off of my local system and it deleted my pritner off my server | 20:36 |
| meoblast001 | wtf | 20:36 |
| j0nr | when i run ndiswrapper -m it tells me: * The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! | 20:36 |
| j0nr | does this mean it isnt working? | 20:36 |
| balz | rhombus: i found a tutorial for installing this... is this something that could be useful? http://sublimation.org/scponly/wiki/index.php/Main_Page | 20:36 |
| meoblast001 | i told it i wanted printers not to be listed on my laptop | 20:36 |
| meoblast001 | i didnt want to delete the damn pritner from my print server | 20:36 |
| azhar27 | xlizard : Will check out rsync and sbackup, Thanks. | 20:36 |
| meoblast001 | i dont have time to deal with this crap | 20:36 |
| sharrell | I am getting an odd error when trying to install new packages on hardy: Setting up tzdata (2008g-0ubuntu0.8.04) ... | 20:37 |
| sharrell | dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure): | 20:37 |
| jharkn | cups is strange on ubuntu | 20:37 |
| balz | meoblast001: CUPS can be a royal pain in the ass... try #CUPS | 20:37 |
| rhombus | balz: Some people like it. Personally, I think one should be doing it with the sshd that's already running | 20:37 |
| jharkn | cups is obfuscated in ubuntu too though | 20:37 |
| DigitalFiz | what would i use to convert a xvid to a divx? | 20:37 |
| genii | limitedwisdom: Perhaps you want to specify full path in rm line | 20:37 |
| balz | oh so this sets up a completely different service? different ports and all? | 20:37 |
| Phantomas | any ideas about my tv card? | 20:38 |
| meoblast001 | blaz: thanks i just told them their software is retarded | 20:38 |
| meoblast001 | balz rather | 20:38 |
| rhombus | balz: it's a wrapper | 20:38 |
| limitedwisdom | I think that is the full path isn't it? (sorry I'm a noob) | 20:38 |
| limitedwisdom | I mean, it's not the specific files, but those will change every day | 20:39 |
| meoblast001 | balz: now i have to remember how to add this printer again... i didnt plan a 2 hour printer install in my plans for the day | 20:39 |
| balz | rhombus: what's a wrapper? | 20:39 |
| balachmar | @DigitalFiz: you can using mencoder, or ffmpeg or even pitivi | 20:39 |
| j0nr | when i run ndiswrapper -m it tells me: * The update-modules command is deprecated and should not be used! | 20:39 |
| meoblast001 | balz: a scanner wont work on monday, a printer wont work on wednesday... if i have to spend my whole life maintenanceing these things i'll throw all my computers out the window | 20:39 |
| DigitalFiz | balachmar, ty forgot about ffmpeg | 20:39 |
| meoblast001 | i spent 6 hours setting up a scanner | 20:40 |
| balachmar | DigitalFiz: You're welcome | 20:40 |
| rhombus | balz: A wrapper is a program that intercepts connections and passes them on to a subordinate program | 20:40 |
| balz | meoblast001: welcome to linux. honestly i wouldn't recommend flipping out at people in a channel though | 20:40 |
| rhombus | balz: It "wraps" around the subordinate program. | 20:40 |
| balz | rhombus: i see. so what does scponly do exactly? | 20:40 |
| meoblast001 | balz: so what options do i have? an OS where everything is slow and you never get done what you want to.... an OS where every problem takes a whole day to fix... or an OS where you have to have thousands of dollars just to buy it | 20:41 |
| meoblast001 | i hate computers | 20:41 |
| rhombus | balz: I haven't looked that closely, i'd rather not do this with a wrapper | 20:41 |
| balz | rhombus: fair enough | 20:41 |
| balz | rhombus: time for some google-fu! | 20:41 |
| balz | meoblast001: yeah that's the bottom line... computers are a b*tch. | 20:42 |
| Phantomas | anyone??? | 20:42 |
| balz | meoblast001: are you running ubuntu-desktop or server? | 20:42 |
| meoblast001 | balz: desktop | 20:42 |
| balz | meoblast001: there *should* be a relatively straightforward graphical app for printer sharing in gnome | 20:43 |
| balachmar | meoblast001: Truly dude, I haven't had much problems using printers and scanners on Ubuntu, much less problems really then on windows... | 20:43 |
| balz | i've always used config files and such though | 20:43 |
| meoblast001 | balz: i shut GNOME off usually on my server.. only turn it on sometimes | 20:43 |
| meoblast001 | balachmar: i bought all my hardware when i had windows.. havent bought any hardware since.. so that tells a lot | 20:43 |
| balachmar | meoblast001: You can share printers through samba if you want | 20:43 |
| balz | meoblast001: yeah i do too. well here's the graphical method, JIC. http://www.funnestra.org/ubuntu/hardy/#ipp | 20:44 |
| balachmar | meoblast001: often the older the hardware the better on linux | 20:44 |
| Akazawa | How do I install nautilus scripts? | 20:44 |
| meoblast001 | balachmar: why isnt it that way on windows? | 20:45 |
| limitedwisdom | doh | 20:45 |
| meoblast001 | shouldnt it be equal on both | 20:45 |
| meoblast001 | if you can do it on windows cant you do it in linux too | 20:45 |
| limitedwisdom | it is working :s I didn't notice that there weren't any files in there older than the date (there were a lot more than I expected!) | 20:45 |
| limitedwisdom | sorry for the silly question | 20:45 |
| epoch | what is the shell command to show all the stuff loaded into /dev/* | 20:45 |
| meoblast001 | what's the point of drivers.. cant we just have a standard for all hardware? | 20:45 |
| balachmar | akazawa: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ | 20:45 |
| limitedwisdom | quit | 20:46 |
| Tundrayeti312 | epoch: cd /dev && ls | 20:46 |
| epoch | Tundrayeti312, no | 20:46 |
| Grey_Loki | meoblast001, perhaps, if all hardware was standard | 20:46 |
| ichbinesderelch | meoblast001: that would be kinda boring though | 20:46 |
| epoch | i plugged in a usb device | 20:46 |
| epoch | but i dont know which /dev/* its on | 20:46 |
| Pitto | hi ppl..i'm triing to copy all mi home in the home of another user...but i have to "sincronize" the permissions...how to do? | 20:46 |
| meoblast001 | ichbinesderelch: boring to have things that work? | 20:46 |
| balachmar | meoblast001: Because on windows more hardware manufacturers make drivers. And sometimes hardware manufacturers discontinue support for a specific windows version | 20:46 |
| kansan | i'm getting the workspace is still in use message on ubuntu hardy & grannymede. there are no instances of eclipse open, i just restarted my computer... help? ;p | 20:46 |
| epoch | maybe i shouldnt ask this in ubuntu...since everything is GUI... | 20:46 |
| mongolai | Pitto: chown | 20:47 |
| ichbinesderelch | epoch: dmesg | tail in terminal and watch out for some /dev/ line | 20:47 |
| ShinobiTeno | hello! I have a problem: since last update of kernel:(2.6)19 to 21 on ubuntustudio, i get GRUB Error 15 everytime and unable to boot into new(21) kernel. Anybody have this problem? | 20:47 |
| balachmar | meoblast001: unfortunately some hardware vendors neglect linux, but their number is declining | 20:47 |
| ichbinesderelch | meoblast001: making things work is actually the funniest thing on computers, they are boring when tey are running completly flawlessly :P | 20:47 |
| meoblast001 | Waiting for mysticgalaxiesserver.local... | 20:47 |
| meoblast001 | why is it waiting | 20:47 |
| ShinobiTeno | menu.lst is ok btw. files present. I force reinstalled all *21. no change. 19 boots ok. | 20:47 |
| epoch | ichbinesderelch, wrong | 20:47 |
| Lykkefeen | I tried to install xmms2, but it seemed not to have any GUI and it was hard to implement a GUI, so my question is: Which lightweigth mp3 player with GUI can you recommend? | 20:48 |
| fwaokda | how do I make it so that my fonts in my desktop panels are white and not black? | 20:48 |
| Pitto | mongolai: i tried say cp -R home/mastroirmo home/murphy.... but it gives me error (access to mastroirmo denied) | 20:48 |
| ShinobiTeno | Lykkefeen: if you need player-only> audacious | 20:48 |
| Skyrail | genii: so how do I go about installing the newest stable kernel for ubuntu? | 20:48 |
| ichbinesderelch | epoch: marmalade? | 20:48 |
| mongolai | Pitto: you may need to be sudo to do that. | 20:48 |
| Pitto | yes but if i'm sudo | 20:49 |
| Pitto | it will not create the files like Murphy...and murphy is not "porpietary" | 20:49 |
| genii | Skyrail: Usually the sudo apt-get upgrade will do this, if one is available | 20:49 |
| balachmar | Lykkefeen: I don't know if it is lightweight enough, but banshee is pretty nice | 20:49 |
| mongolai | Pitto: i don't understand "Murphy" | 20:49 |
| spiritssight | where do I get help with installing themes | 20:49 |
| Pitto | my new user name | 20:49 |
| unpossible | my new username | 20:50 |
| Pitto | if i use sudo...the files owner becomes Root.. not Murpy | 20:50 |
| mongolai | Pitto: OK. | 20:50 |
| balachmar | fwaokda: I assume that that is a theme thing | 20:50 |
| Skyrail | genii: it gives me 0 upgrades/dist-upgrades, do I have to delete anything first? | 20:50 |
| Lykkefeen | balachmar: I'm searching a equivalent to the old winamp :) Just for mp3's I'll give audacious a try now :) | 20:50 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: sudo chown -R Murphy * | 20:50 |
| genii | Skyrail: You are currently chrooted from livecd into the old / or such? | 20:50 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: sudo chgrp -R Murphy * | 20:50 |
| Arch3Angel | i guess no one has an answer to the wireless broadcom issue | 20:50 |
| spiritssight | How do I get a theme installed, I have downloaded a couple from gnome-looks.org | 20:50 |
| Pitto | ok.this 2 after the copy as sudo... | 20:51 |
| Pitto | THX a lot :) | 20:51 |
| Pici | spiritssight: Just drag them onto the themes window in System>Preferences>Appearance. | 20:51 |
| Pici | !changethemes > spiritssight | 20:51 |
| ubottu | spiritssight, please see my private message | 20:51 |
| Skyrail | genii: yeh, I mounted the / partition and chrooted to it, I'm at it now (it shows all the right files when I ls -l) | 20:51 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: of course you must do it right in the folder you need rights to change | 20:51 |
| cyban | spiritssight, depends, using emerald theme manager or just the default? | 20:51 |
| mongolai | Pitto: copying files from one user to another requires permissions - either root (which sudo provides) or user or group. The easiest way is "sudo cp (whatever)" then "sudo chown (whoever)" | 20:51 |
| balachmar | Lykkefeen: Then you should try beep media player -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beep_Media_Player | 20:52 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: you can use rsync for copying. It keeps permissions if "-a" is used. | 20:52 |
| mongolai | ShinobiTeno: that's a better solution!! | 20:52 |
| Pitto | ShinobiTeno: keep permissions or sync permissions? | 20:52 |
| Crusader_Tech | Could someone tell me why my Ubuntu desktop will play music on the hard drive, but when I try to play off of a flash drive, totem just opens, then closes. | 20:53 |
| Pitto | i've Grsynk... i'll try | 20:53 |
| dani | dani | 20:53 |
| genii | Skyrail: OK. So just: apt-get install --reinstall linux-image should grab latest and reinstall | 20:53 |
| === dani is now known as Guest51733 | ||
| mongolai | Crusader_Tech: can you access other files on the flash drive? | 20:54 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: rsync is a very powerfull copy and sync command. There are plenty of GUIs for it too. It can copy, sync or filter. do "man rsync" or get some GUI with "google rsync gui")) I use it to sync 1:1 my 500Gb disk. | 20:54 |
| Guest51733 | guys i need your help, i'm trying to install madwifi but it tells me i need to make something, and i haven't a clue what to do | 20:54 |
| balz | rhombus: when you said you didn't want to use a wrapper, why is that? | 20:54 |
| Lykkefeen | balachmar: Thanks, I'll give that a try after testing audacious :) | 20:54 |
| balachmar | Crusader_Tech: It should just play them normally if you can acces the files correctly | 20:54 |
| spiritssight | I tryed to drag the folder and or the xml file that is in the theme folder that I downloaded and it does not seem to work | 20:54 |
| Crusader_Tech | mongolai: Yes, I can open documents, and whatnot. It's also not limited to any particular flash drive. | 20:54 |
| Guest51733 | can someone help | 20:55 |
| Guest51733 | plz | 20:55 |
| rhombus | balz: Because I don't trust it. I use OpenSSH because security is important to me. If I introduce a wrapper, I jeopardizing that security | 20:55 |
| cognitiaclaeves | Is it possible to install a .deb package into an alternate location? ( I'm looking into creating a chrooted environment. ) | 20:55 |
| balachmar | Guest51733: With what? | 20:55 |
| Crusader_Tech | mongolai: well, I take it back. Now it wont play an MP3 off of my desktop either. one sec while I check my codecs | 20:55 |
| rhombus | balz: i jeopardize, sorry | 20:55 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: you can also try GNOME Commander if you do much file operations) | 20:55 |
| Shortguy109 | Hey guys. My sound has stopped working on my Dell Inspiron N 1525 after the latest update. This came with Ubuntu pre-installed. | 20:56 |
| balz | rhombus: how serious of a security risk is it? is this something I should be concerned about? | 20:56 |
| beejay77 | anybody have experience with phun? | 20:56 |
| rhombus | balz: I don't know of any bugs in scponly that would make it vulnerable, but then I haven't really looked for any | 20:56 |
| beejay77 | phun - Phun is a free game like 2D physics sandbox where you can play with physics like never before. | 20:56 |
| Lorelei- | Shortguy109: mine too, I wonder if its something to do with the Dell set up? | 20:56 |
| balachmar | Shortguy109: Any extra information, besides sound doesn't work? | 20:57 |
| rhombus | balz: If you're just using it for a machine in your living room, then it's probably fine -- but that's not what I need this for | 20:57 |
| beejay77 | i have video card without 3d acceleration | 20:57 |
| kansan | how do i look file a file named .lock recursively in ~/workspace | 20:57 |
| Guest51733 | balachmar: with terminal i think | 20:57 |
| balz | rhombus: okay that's exactly what I was wondering. I know you work for a company, so it's a totally different ballpark | 20:57 |
| Pitto | ShinobiTeno: i just looking in rsyink...to understand how to tell it to "change and update" permissions (i'm not anglophone...and have some troubles translate manuals :) ) | 20:57 |
| Shortguy109 | No sound devices or GStreamer plugins found" | 20:57 |
| beejay77 | in win it work ok, in ubuntu it is not | 20:57 |
| spiritssight | can some one help with instaling threms from gnome-looks.org | 20:57 |
| Shortguy109 | Sorry, "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." | 20:58 |
| Shortguy109 | That happens whenever I try and change the volume. | 20:58 |
| balachmar | Guest51733: What do you want to do? | 20:58 |
| scarface | Is there a way to boot the Live CD with sound disabled? The login sound is very loud here at work and I need a way to silence it. | 20:58 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: plz tell me this: is it one time operation or regular. 2nd: copy(add), do 1:1(sync), backup,.. what exactly do you want to have? | 20:58 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: graphics card? and u probably have to enable and install proprietary driver for 3D | 20:58 |
| macvr | hi... my system sounds dont work! but i'm able to get sound from vlc player and rhythom box | 20:58 |
| macvr | ? | 20:58 |
| Lorelei- | I got the same message when I just tried to change my volume too | 20:58 |
| balachmar | kansan: Something like grep -r lock . | 20:58 |
| Pitto | i need to copy all my home to another user home | 20:59 |
| Pitto | just changing user | 20:59 |
| Pitto | and have SAME pc and config | 20:59 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: does "another" home contains files you need to keep? | 20:59 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312: there is no driver for 3d, my cardjust do not support 3d acceleration | 20:59 |
| Pitto | not..it's just created | 20:59 |
| Guest51733 | balachmar: i need to install madwifi as ubuntu isn't allowing me to go wireless | 20:59 |
| ShinobiTeno | Pitto: 1:1 or add? | 20:59 |
| ShinobiTeno | ok | 20:59 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: hmm.. thought you said it worked in win nvm | 21:00 |
| Pitto | (i would rename primary home..but someone said me to not to do that) | 21:00 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312: nvm? | 21:00 |
| danbh_intrepid | Guest51733: what wifi card? | 21:00 |
| Shortguy109 | audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument | 21:00 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: nevermind | 21:00 |
| Shortguy109 | That happens when I run a sound test. | 21:00 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312:it works in regular windows on the same hardware | 21:00 |
| balachmar | Shortguy109: Maybe reinstall gnome-media | 21:01 |
| Necrosan | There were 2 people on a boat: /hop and /quit. /hop got off, who's still on the boat? | 21:01 |
| ichbinesderelch | Necrosan: thats so dumb | 21:01 |
| dulakian | haha | 21:01 |
| King_Kickass | did the latest update mess up something? | 21:01 |
| Necrosan | It's funny, man! | 21:01 |
| Pici | Necrosan: Please don't. | 21:01 |
| Necrosan | 3 people | 21:01 |
| Shortguy109 | Yes, the latest update has messed things up for three of us. | 21:01 |
| balachmar | Guest51733 Then install madwifi through the synaptic package manager | 21:01 |
| Shortguy109 | - at least. | 21:01 |
| King_Kickass | because after restart of the latest update, i got an error and now ubuntu is running on low graphic mode | 21:01 |
| King_Kickass | and now i dont know what to do, reinstall the graphic drivers? | 21:02 |
| Guest51733 | danbh_intrepid: its antheon something | 21:02 |
| Shortguy109 | Reinstall of gnome-media did not work. | 21:02 |
| danbh_intrepid | Guest51733: atheros? | 21:03 |
| ddm | hi | 21:03 |
| King_Kickass | maybe upgrade to inrepid helps, thats running fine on my other machine | 21:03 |
| ddm | I just did mv command and overwrite a file | 21:03 |
| ddm | is there any way to undo it | 21:03 |
| ddm | ? | 21:03 |
| balachmar | Shortguy109: Maybe reinstall gstreamer pulseaudio? | 21:03 |
| Guest51733 | danbh_intrepid: yeah atheros-5007eg | 21:03 |
| Shortguy109 | balachmar: Okay, I'll give that a shot. | 21:03 |
| balachmar | ddm: nope | 21:04 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312: any clue? | 21:04 |
| madmartian | anyone know why all my apps menus would disappear? | 21:04 |

| Shortguy109 | balachmar: Pulseaudio reinstall did not work. Finding an appropriate gstreamer package to reinstall. | 21:05 |
| Guest51733 | danbh_intrepid: is that the new software version of ubuntu?? is there anyway i can use wifi at the mo then? | 21:05 |
| balachmar | Guest51733: Maybe I see them because I am on intrepid. Or maybe you don't have multiverse and universe repositories? | 21:06 |
| King_Kickass | should I do these commands? : sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 21:06 |

| danbh_intrepid | aaron_: upgrade to hardy first | 21:07 |
| joaopinto | aaron_, no | 21:07 |
| magnetron | unitedpotsmokers, first thing you should do is to go to the WineHQ AppDB and check if your app works in Wine | 21:08 |

| rhombus | LjL, balachmar: why wouldn't it work? I tried using the OpenSSH 5 package from the intrepid repository, but it wants to pull in a bunch of terrifying deps like libc6 | 21:12 |
| rhombus | ichbinesderelch: Not for Gutsy, no | 21:12 |
| Arch3Angel | i am trying to use my broadcom wireless card working and the chan has this as a topic | 21:12 |
| Arch3Angel | Everybody (especially bcm4311 users) please use 2.6.24.4 or later | 21:12 |
| rhombus | ichbinesderelch: Nothing in backports, either. Totally useless. | 21:12 |
| LjL | rhombus: and of course you shouldn't do that! but, just about as clearly, you really shouldn't install packages from Intrepid on Hardy. | 21:12 |
| joaopinto | rhombus, you can't use an intrepid package on a previous version !! | 21:12 |
| balachmar | rhombus: Because the package DEPENDS on the other packages. It needs functionality from those packages to work | 21:13 |
| Arch3Angel | advice? | 21:13 |
| melissa_ | gfgfgf | 21:13 |
| danbh_intrepid | Arch3Angel: did you see my question? | 21:13 |

| unitedpotsmokers | magnetron, there is no yahoo messenger support | 21:13 |
| flugh | i have an unsupported howto from sierra wireless, and a patch, instructions, can follow their instructions ok, but on the module and kernel install, i'm hinky about mucking up the stock 7.04 stuff (if it ain't broke dont fix it), | 21:13 |
| magnetron | unitedpotsmokers, too bad. | 21:13 |
| LjL | rhombus, what you can try is to get the *source* package for intrepid, and build it for your version. | 21:13 |
| Arch3Angel | all i did was install ubuntu and update using update manager | 21:13 |
| rhombus | balachmar: man -- the dependencies are already met for the previous version of the package I want to install. There are only version differences | 21:14 |
| dulakian | rhombus: if you absolutely have to do it, install build-essential and compile openssh from source, don't mix and match packages | 21:14 |
| ichbinesderelch | rhombus: i would recommend compiling it from source then | 21:14 |
| balz | When editing the permissions of a directory, do i need to enable the exectue bit for directories? | 21:14 |
| balachmar | rhombus: And maybe it needs stuff that where added in later versions | 21:14 |
| genii | Skyrail: just "linux-image" usually is a synonym for the latest kernel which is available. However you can also specify the exact one if you like as well. Examining the old contents of the previous /boot/grub might help | 21:14 |
| rhombus | LjL: Is there an established procedure for this? | 21:14 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: It sounds like a driver issue of not supporting 3D... I would assume that you would need a 3D graphics card for any modern day physics simulation app... so I'm not sure how it worked on Windows if your graphics card isn't... that's all I can really say : / | 21:14 |
| halycon | Hey everyone what is the difference between something that is userspace & kernel? I am trying to configure LIRC and am going through the dpkg-reconfigure lirc and it is asking me what remote configuration I want to use and I am not sure what one to use. I have a ATI Remote Wonder(1st edition) and have blacklisted the ati_remote module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and now am trying to get everything setup with LIRC. | 21:14 |
| flugh | but kernel needs patch, recognizes modem as a storage device. the patch adds something to unusal_dev.h so it's seen as a modem, uses a different driver. unless i can build the driver against existing source, and FORCE the kernel to use the new module somehow | 21:14 |
| LjL | rhombus: add the source repository, do a "sudo apt-get update", type "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename" to install the build-time dependencies, then do "sudo apt-get --build source packagename" | 21:14 |
| rhombus | dulakian: build-essential? Can you point me to a docs URL? | 21:15 |

| aaron_ | how do I upgrade | 21:15 |
| LjL | !info linux | aaron_ | 21:15 |
| ubottu | aaron_: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.24.21.23 (hardy), package size 25 kB, installed size 52 kB | 21:15 |
| King_Kickass | i found that in my xorg.log, what should I do? : (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 21:15 |
| LjL | aaron_: if you have the updates repositories enabled (like you should), you should get an automatic notification of the available upgrade. | 21:15 |
| joaopinto | beejay77, because just like on windows, games do not run with 3d unless you install the proper video driver | 21:15 |
| aaron_ | I don't have it | 21:16 |
| rhombus | balachmar: the system already has libc6 in it | 21:16 |
| magnetron | unitedpotsmokers, you should find an installer file. everything in wine should be installed to the virtual C: drive that WIne makes | 21:16 |
| rhombus | balachmar: but the package was built for intrepid, so it looks for intrepid version numbers | 21:16 |
| aaron_ | how do I proceed to enable them | 21:16 |
| balachmar | rhombus: Well if it has the correct version it doesn't get installed twice | 21:16 |
| unitedpotsmokers | oh i see... | 21:16 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312: but my card does not support 3d - phisically | 21:16 |
| balz | what is the command to change a directory's permissions to 644? | 21:16 |
| rhombus | balachmar: the odds of it not working are small -- or I wouldn't even be considering this as an option | 21:16 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312: so in windows i do not have driver supporting hardware acceleration 3d | 21:17 |
| joaopinto | rhombus, you must build from source, packages having the same names does not mean they are compatible with whatever requires them | 21:17 |

| SkiddyFisk | oh god a paste LYNCH MOB TIME | 21:20 |
| LjL | SkiddyFisk: ? | 21:20 |
| === francesco is now known as Guest91127 | ||
| rhombus | balachmar: thank you. | 21:20 |
| LjL | balz, you can't traverse directories if the execute bit isn't set on them | 21:20 |
| LjL | balz: you can't "ls", in other words | 21:20 |
| flugh | LjL: thanks for the links. i'm under the impression (been a while since i did C coding) that if i modify a header file, i need to rebuild any source files referencing that .h. given that this patch mods a single .h file in the drivers/usb/ dir, do i need to recompile the kernel image? or should make modules have me covered? | 21:20 |
| balz | LjL: meaning the user is restricted to a single directory? | 21:20 |
| dulakian | balz: execute on a directory allows something or someone to see inside the directory | 21:20 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: The driver for you card is probably a proprietary/binary/closed source one for windows that has all the functionality you need. People have written drivers for your card w/ some or almost the same functionality but can't know everything that the windows driver does, so you lose some functionaility... So you can try to install the binary driver in linux if it is an option | 21:20 |
| aaron_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/58029/ | 21:21 |
| n-iCe | genii: 664 allow them to write/edit | 21:21 |

| Skyrail | genii: I think I may have a problem, my root partition and boot partition are separate | 21:21 |
| fsanlu | hey guys. does anyone know i can configure my soundcard for one of its connectors to act as output. right now when i installed ubuntu it just the basics.. where the green is main output and pink is microphone. but i got a 4 speaker system and need one of the connectors to act as an output too | 21:21 |
| unitedpotsmokers | magnetron, where are you.. | 21:21 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312: what do you mean binary driver? | 21:21 |
| LjL | flugh: depends what exactly it patches, but to me it looks like you need to recompile the kernel | 21:21 |
| unitedpotsmokers | someone can help me to install IE7 using wine? | 21:22 |
| balz | LjL, dulakian: i'm confused. I just created a new user and made his home directory on a separate drive... the X bit for directories is not enabled by default. will tihs be a problem? | 21:22 |
| genii | Skyrail: Then when in chrooted old / mount the partition which is normally /boot into /boot again before running the apt-get install linux-image | 21:22 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: If you open the file it says " 101011010101011101010101" instead of readable code in C++ or whatever language | 21:22 |
| dulakian | balz: it's like this: read means they can see the contents of the directory, execute means they can get into the directory | 21:23 |
| LjL | aaron_, you have the repositories correctly enabled. try typing "sudo apt-get update" and see if the update appears - otherwise, it might just be that your mirrors weren't yet updated. this kernel update was out just today. | 21:23 |
| dulakian | balz: which execute bit wasn't set? | 21:23 |
| LjL | balz: not enabled for *who*? | 21:23 |
| Skyrail | genii: okay, so I've mounted / to /mnt/root, so I can just mount /boot/ to /boot/ and run it all? | 21:23 |
| dulakian | balz: cuz if it's the other column, then it doesn't matter for that user | 21:23 |
| balz | dulakian: right. the "add x to directories" isn't set | 21:23 |
| flugh | LjL: bleh, then that leads to a modified source tree/headers for everything else. the maker states 2.6.20+ doesn't need patching. i may just try to upgrade the kernel package, a build-from-source thing that was just being put into apt back when i floated away :) | 21:23 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: So there is no way to tell what is inside or what it does.. which makes it difficult for people who want to have/create drivers for the card in question | 21:23 |
| LjL | balz: what does "ls -l thatdirectory" say exactly | 21:23 |
| dulakian | balz: there is 3 x bits | 21:23 |
| aaron_ | thank LjL | 21:23 |
| aaron_ | I see it | 21:23 |
| LjL | balz: what does "ls -l -d thatdirectory" say exactly (sorry, correction) | 21:23 |
| dulakian | balz: there is x for owner, x for group, and x for other | 21:24 |
| aaron_ | do you think it will effect my 8800 GT NVIDIA card....I might have to install it again after the kernel update | 21:24 |
| scientes | how do i make a encrypted partition without too much trouble and back up the key someohow? | 21:24 |
| jadedoto | unitedpotsmokers try this http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Beta | 21:24 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: So you can either use the open source one w/ limited functionality or you can install the binary one from your card vendor ( this is normally the options ) | 21:24 |
| esay | K3B eject to CD ,after K3B doesn't check writing data , | 21:24 |
| LjL | flugh: wait, if 2.6.20 doesn't need patching, then why would you need to do anything at all with the kernel? | 21:24 |
| genii | Skyrail: If you are still in chroot then you can do like mount /dev/sdX# /boot like normal. If not chrooted then mount it to /mnt/root/boot or such | 21:24 |

| balz | dulakian: i understand that. I purposely disabled execute for user/group/other ... but there's a 4th option" enable X for directory" i'm wondering what that is? | 21:25 |
| Skyrail | genii: okay, cool stuff, I'll give it a try :) | 21:25 |
| unitedpotsmokers | thanks jadedoto | 21:25 |
| balz | LjL: just a second for that command | 21:25 |
| dulakian | balz: you are losing me, there is no 4th x bit | 21:25 |
| LjL | aaron_: if you installed its driver via unsupported means, then maybe. if you just used the restricted drivers manager, it shouldn't. | 21:25 |
| flugh | fiesty, i'm at 2.6.17 i think | 21:25 |
| esay | K3B eject to CD ,but after K3B doesn't check writing data | 21:25 |
| dulakian | balz: there are 3 r bits, 3 w bits and 3 x bits for any file | 21:25 |
| hausha | Whats wrong. I've tried to install ubuntu on 3 different harddisks... And there is always an error. Now the install stops while "configuring update manager". It just stops... Is probably not my hdd, what else can it be? My PSU ? | 21:26 |
| LjL | balz: X is not x | 21:26 |
| tobiasu | balz: X is for setting the x bit only on directories | 21:26 |
| balz | LjL: oh maybe that's it. yeah it's X | 21:26 |
| balz | LjL: drw-r--r-- 2 brunot brunot 1 2008-10-15 15:45 /media/500gb/brunot | 21:26 |
| flugh | not far from it. maybe they said 2.6.23, can't recall. i'll look into it though. maybe this weekend i can push up to 7.10. not enough bandwidth available now to get an upgrade done right now | 21:26 |
| tul | hausha: maybe a defected installation cd. | 21:27 |
| aaron_ | you are correct....the restricted drivers manager actually worked but did not get the cards full capacity until using the one from NVIDIA | 21:27 |
| balz | tobiasu: so what does setting the x bit only directories change? | 21:27 |
| aaron_ | Thanks so much LJL....you have been a great help | 21:27 |
| hausha | tul, I had the same thought... It may also be my cdrom... Does it excist a MD5 checksum file for the ubuntu iso? | 21:27 |
| rgreening | balz: x bit on dir allows on to cd (change into) the dir if set for the proper user/group | 21:28 |
| balz | rgreening: so why would a user's home directory not have xbit on dir enabled? | 21:28 |
| esay | Sysinfo for 'qqq-desktop': Linux 2.6.24-21-generic running KDE 3.5.9, CPU: Intel(R)Pentium(R)4CPU2.60GHz at 2612 MHz (5229 bogomips), , RAM: 738/757MB, 116 proc's, 1.1h up | 21:28 |
| LjL | balz, with the directory set that way, nobody (included the owner) will be able to "ls" it | 21:29 |
| esay | new kernel | 21:29 |
| balz | rgreening: i set this user up manually with a custom home directory location so i want to be srue that he'll be able toa ccess it | 21:29 |
| LjL | properly | 21:29 |
| tul | hausha: didnt rly understand the question.. | 21:29 |
| balz | LjL: what's the diffference between ls and cd again? | 21:29 |
| rgreening | balz: user should have x bit, bur group and world should be unset | 21:29 |
| LjL | balz, err, "ls" lists the contents of a directory, "cd" moves you to that directory - they're really pretty different | 21:29 |
| hausha | tul, is there a way to verify the ISO image I downloaded? | 21:29 |
| rgreening | s/bur/but | 21:29 |
| LjL | !cli | balz | 21:29 |
| ubottu | balz: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 21:29 |
| tul | ofcourse, md5 sum it. | 21:30 |
| LjL | balz, in other words, it's a terribly bad idea, unless you really know what you're doing, for a directory's owner not to have +x on it | 21:30 |
| Skyrail | genii: it gave me an error to writing to a paticular log, but besides that it looks like it worked, but is there anything I can check to see if it'll work before rebooting? | 21:30 |
| tul | hausha: after that you could check cd itself at the bootine menu. | 21:30 |
| hausha | tul, yup doing it right now | 21:30 |
| balz | LjL: okay so i guess i goofed up lol. How do I set the X bit to dir with the CLI? | 21:31 |
| genii | Skyrail: See if initrd.img for a kernel exists in the chrooted /boot dir | 21:31 |
| joaopinto | baldur_, chmod u+x dir | 21:31 |
| tul | hausha: i always burn it on slow speed to generate quality copy | 21:31 |
| balz | LjL: wait disregard that last statement. | 21:31 |
| simone_ | Salve a tutti | 21:32 |
| balz | LjL: this user is only going to be using his home directory via sftp to back up files, so a lack of x bits shoulndn't be a problem right? | 21:32 |
| Skyrail | genii: yeh, two do, the old and the new, I presume it's right for all of the files (nearly all) to be -rw-r--r-- right? | 21:32 |
| joaopinto | balz, it is a problem, because sftp will try to chdir to the dir | 21:33 |
| tarelerulz | Can meta tags be added to .mp4 ? If so is there program that support meta tagging for other contianer formats like , avi , ogg , mkv | 21:33 |
| genii | Skyrail: Yes those are correct permissions | 21:33 |
| Baldr | ciao a tutti | 21:33 |
| hausha | tui, the disc seems to be full of errors... sigh.. .burning a new copy ay 4x now :) | 21:33 |
| joaopinto | balz, and please be advised that an sftp user will also be able to ssh :) | 21:33 |
| LjL | !it | baldr | 21:33 |
| ubottu | baldr: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 21:33 |
| Baldr | Ops sorry | 21:33 |
| genii | Skyrail: You should be able now to select one of those initrd kernel versions from grub to boot the system into | 21:34 |
| Baldr | I thought this was an italian one :) | 21:34 |
| Skyrail | genii: right, so I guess the final thing is to restart and cross my fingers | 21:34 |
| LjL | balz: maybe it wouldn't, not sure, but i really don't see why a directory owner shouldn't have +x on it... | 21:34 |
| genii | Skyrail: Yup | 21:34 |
| balz | joaopinto: yeah, this is all part of a very convoluted attempt to restrict a user to his home directory via sftp... i'm not doing so wel =) | 21:34 |
| hos1 | hello is there any program like evernote for linux ? | 21:34 |
| hos1 | or maybe onenote ? | 21:34 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312: my card is sis650 and there is no vendor made driver for lin | 21:34 |
| blueeyez | any one in here using a anti virus program in ubuntu? | 21:35 |
| joaopinto | balz, use ftp with chroot :) | 21:35 |
| dulakian | balz: use scponly shell and stick to sftp | 21:35 |
| joaopinto | balz, the proper way to restrict an user to a particular dir is using a chroot enabled service | 21:36 |
| ShinobiTeno | blueeyez: no need for linux systems.) only to check windowze passthru traffic... | 21:36 |
| andresj | hey, how can I run an X (java) program as user "test", in the display belong to user "andresj"? | 21:36 |
| balz | joaopinto: ftp can use chroot? i assumed it couldn't since sftp apparently can't do it very well | 21:36 |
| andresj | if i remember well, it gives an error of permissions | 21:37 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: That's unfortunate... You may need to buy a different card for full windows functionality on linux | 21:37 |
| underwraps_2k | yes, I'm using Norton AV | 21:37 |
| blueeyez | yes but im wondering if im in a windows network does the anti virus programs know of windows trojans? | 21:37 |
| joaopinto | balz, yes it can, if you use a chroot capable ftpd | 21:37 |
| ShinobiTeno | andresj: make sure test is in andresj group. | 21:37 |
| balz | joaopinto: can you suggest one? btw, ftpd is an ftp daemon, right? | 21:37 |
| joaopinto | baldur_, yes, pure-ftpd | 21:37 |
| andresj | ShinobiTeno: is that all? :O seems much easier that I thought it would have been! haha. and are there any side effects on that? | 21:38 |
| joaopinto | baldur_, you can even have virtual users, ftp users without a system account | 21:38 |
| joaopinto | ops, was balz | 21:38 |

| joaopinto | rab, /etc/init.d/mysql ? | 21:39 |
| euge | I have a script that's supposed to run in the startup session, but it's not running. | 21:39 |
| Dreamglider | can i read floppy disks that were formated on a pc with windows ? | 21:39 |
| balz | joaopinto: okay thanks! just to be clear though, if i wanted to, i could restrict it to a user? | 21:39 |
| joaopinto | balz, yes | 21:39 |
| Skyrail | genii: failed to boot again :| | 21:39 |
| ShinobiTeno | andresj: actually no. For every file, you add permissions for all,.. or add group permissions and put users into this group.. | 21:39 |
| rab | joaopinto, i run that manually with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start and all is fine ... just doesnt happen on startup ... what calls that on startup (im looking for that line)? | 21:39 |
| balz | joaopinto: okay cool thank you so much | 21:39 |
| ekinplektrum | Ok. I have an apache webserver running and it's sharing /var/www/ and I want /www/ to link to my desktop, so I shade my desktop. How do I link those directories? | 21:39 |
| balz | thanks to everyone who helped! sorry i'm so n00bish today! | 21:39 |
| beejay77 | Tundrayeti312: for laptop? that is my problem,but thanks anyway,i was just wondering is there any solution | 21:40 |
| andresj | ShinobiTeno: what? I have no idea what you're talking about... lol. I am in display :0 as andresj. I want to run a program as user test, in this same display. | 21:40 |
| joaopinto | rab, have you checked /var/log/daemon.log ? | 21:40 |
| andresj | ShinobiTeno: (inside the pogram, only files belonging to test would be writable, etc.) | 21:41 |
| Tundrayeti312 | beejay77: double-bummer.... good news is there are some really cheap linux laptops u can buy these days | 21:41 |
| joaopinto | andresj, you do not need touch groups to do that, it's just a matter of setting the DISPLAY session | 21:41 |
| ShinobiTeno | andresj: well, i dont know that specific things) but UNIX permissions work that way) | 21:41 |
| wall-e | hi. i just installed ubuntu 8.04 desktop last night. today i am trying to configure the network connection because i am not getting any internet. My desktop is connected to an ethernet cable to a router. the router is connected to the cable modem box through another ether cable. the cable modem box is connected with a dsl cable from the wall. I am on my macbook that is connected wirelessly. i want to set up my network conne | 21:41 |
| joaopinto | and assigning acces from the X running session, with xhost + | 21:41 |
| Dreamglider | Why does only one floppy drive show in ubuntu when i have two installed ? | 21:42 |
| joaopinto | ShinobiTeno, he is not asking about permissiones, he is asking about exporting a graphical window | 21:42 |
| andresj | yes, exactly, that's what I wanted to know, joaopinto, how do i do that? | 21:42 |
| joaopinto | andresj, on the X session, open a terminal and: xhost + or safer, xhost +IP | 21:43 |
| joaopinto | to set the output display, just export DISPLAY=display_ip:0 (or whatever display nr is used), and run the app | 21:43 |
| rab | joaopinto, ah nice i see an error condition after doing a cat /var/log/daemon.log | grep mysql ... i get unable to bind to 3306 | 21:43 |
| andresj | joaopinto: will xhost +test@localhost work? | 21:43 |

| Jason2gs | Hi guys. Recently, my computer has started acting up. It'll freeze up at random when I'm trying to load an unusually busy webpage. Like Yahoo Finance with its constant stock ticker updating. Or when I have need to visit a MySpace page. Is there any way I can diagnose this? It's quite annoying. It hasn't happened before, and I built this computer quite a while ago. It's a quad core, four gigs of RAM... It's definitely not too slow to handle these pages | 21:45 |
| Jason2gs | :S Please help, thanks :) | 21:45 |
| lisa_ | aaron_, try loading with old kernel? | 21:45 |
| KenBW2 | wall-e: plug n play i should think | 21:45 |
| wall-e | i am not trying to connect through wifi. i want to be connected directly | 21:45 |
| genii | Skyrail: Did you hit ESC at grub prompt and then choose from the list given the kernel name which matched one of the initrd names you saw in the /boot directory? | 21:46 |
| wall-e | plug and play? that sounds vague kenbw2 | 21:46 |
| lisa_ | aaron_, what exactly is the kernel Linux Christian ? | 21:46 |
| ortsvorsteher | wall-e: did you try to check network settings under system? | 21:46 |
| KenBW2 | wall-e: as in plug it in and it should work | 21:46 |
| aaron_ | its the latest one | 21:46 |
| aaron_ | for Hardy | 21:46 |
| wall-e | ortsvorsteher i am not sure where to look for and what to look out for | 21:46 |

| aaron_ | thats the name of my system | 21:47 |

| genii | lisa_: Ther is however. Ubuntu CE | 21:47 |
| wall-e | ok then? | 21:47 |
| joaopinto | rab, starting mysql on rc.local is not a solution, you need to find what is binded to that port | 21:47 |
| wall-e | can we talk in pm ortsvorsteher | 21:47 |
| lisa_ | genii, ok ty, | 21:47 |

| rhollencamp | jerndoe: just log out and back in | 22:04 |
| KenBW2 | ortsvorsteher: yay! | 22:04 |
| angusthefuzz | jerndoe: if the process is Defunct you may need to restart the entire computer | 22:04 |
| jerndoe | rhollencamp: just restarted gnome but that didn't help | 22:04 |
| dli | jerndoe, pkill -9 firefox-bin | 22:04 |
| angusthefuzz | jerndoe: that just happened to me as well, the process does not respond to kill -9 | 22:04 |
| jerndoe | angustthefuzz: yeah the process i labelled defunct | 22:05 |
| jerndoe | well hoped that I didn't had to restart | 22:05 |
| KenBW2 | ortsvorsteher: where you from? | 22:05 |
| ortsvorsteher | step by step KenBW2:) | 22:05 |
| dli | jerndoe, then, just remove the lock file in your profile folder | 22:05 |
| ortsvorsteher | i am from near nuernberg KenBW2. from where you are? | 22:05 |
| angusthefuzz | dli: removing the lockfile didnt help me either | 22:05 |
| angusthefuzz | jerndoe: you can start firefox with -P option to make a new profile, if you are unwilling to restart | 22:06 |
| dli | angusthefuzz, the process is defunct, right? | 22:06 |
| flugh | jerndoe: i know netscape used to leave a .lock file in some .dir in your home directory that woudl cause that problem | 22:06 |
| angusthefuzz | dli: yeah, the process is defunct and wont respond to any kill signal from root or the user | 22:06 |

| KenBW2 | ortsvorsteher: i went on holiday to there once | 22:07 |
| dli | angusthefuzz, a defunct process already exited, it doesn't exit anymore, therefore, no need to kill it | 22:07 |

| angusthefuzz | dli: I must not have tried to restart firefox after deleting the lockfile, because the process ID was still present | 22:08 |
| dli | angusthefuzz, if you don't want to see the zombie, just kill/close it's parent process | 22:08 |

| HaSH | hmm on this last kernel update on my server i rebooted and it didnt boot into the new kernel. | 22:33 |
| angusthefuzz | HaSH: did you update your menu.lst and update grub? | 22:33 |
| HaSH | angusthefuzz, nope. thought ubuntu did that. | 22:34 |
| chaos1 | :-?Does anyone know why i would have an update listed in the updates but cant select it?:-& | 22:34 |
| HaSH | !grub | 22:34 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 22:34 |

| HaSH | hmm..anyone know that article on removing old kernels from boot? | 22:35 |
| chaos1 | !remove kernel | 22:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about remove kernel | 22:35 |
| Grey_Loki | HaSH, you can do that by removing the entries from menu.lst | 22:35 |
| chaos1 | !kernel | 22:35 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 22:35 |
| Miesco | My campus has a server where you can do like \\knas01 to get files from the server, what type of file sharing server is that? | 22:35 |

| Grey_Loki | Don't know, sorry | 22:35 |
| HaSH | Miesco, id guess smaba | 22:35 |

| IRONHIDE | ok give me a sec bro | 22:45 |
| trippss | angusthefuzz, I don't think it's that the problem. 1 time out of 20, they will play for a while and then die (i.e., stop playing music) | 22:45 |

| mcquaid | about:plugins show no flash installed | 22:46 |
| angusthefuzz | trippss: is your ISP providing solid internet, that happens to me when my internet gets flakey | 22:46 |

| mcquaid | I tried anohter user to make sure it isn't something borked with my mozilla profile still no go | 22:46 |
| HaSH | hmm i dont think the new kernel showed up in the menu.lst | 22:46 |
| usr13 | I guess no one has seen my particular problem yet. Tnx anyway... | 22:46 |
| trippss | angusthefuzz, now this is across the board with varying connections at varying places. it's something to do with software | 22:47 |
| IRONHIDE | it says xgl not present | 22:47 |
| HaSH | it said it installed 2.6.24.21.23 ..but there is no entry for that in the menu.lst... | 22:47 |
| fsufitch | IRONHIDE: again?! hm... | 22:47 |
| IRONHIDE | it say using fallback metacity | 22:47 |
| angusthefuzz | trippss: shoutcast changed its layout recently and borked a lot of stream parses, specifically for mythtv? | 22:47 |
| angusthefuzz | trippss: are you getting the streamlist from shoutcast? | 22:48 |
| trippss | angusthefuzz, this is even happening to streams outside of shoutcast | 22:48 |

| mcquaid | yes spmccann there's where I grabbed the deb and installed it: sudo dpkg -i adobeblablah.deb | 22:50 |
| spmccann | mcquaid: use the install script | 22:50 |
| LjL | yeus_: then yes | 22:51 |
| mcquaid | spmccann, do you the apt url link? | 22:51 |
| mcquaid | do you mean... | 22:51 |
| chaos1 | woddf2, if you installed the kde core package you will have to install all of your packages for office etc again after removing gnome. see this >>http://howtoforge.com/creating-a-kde-live-cd-dvd-using-kubuntu-p4 | 22:51 |
| spmccann | mcquaid: no the install instruction for the tar file, the deb package is broken | 22:51 |
| mcquaid | ah | 22:51 |
| mcquaid | hmm, i've read others installing from the deb without issue | 22:52 |
| yeus_ | kk thx.. the reason is: I installed the kubuntu interped beta today and it is still lacking some "vital" packages for me | 22:52 |

| mcquaid | spmccann, the deb? | 22:52 |
| spmccann | mcquaid: no the install script, the dep package tried to download from an ftp sire that was not working | 22:52 |
| chaos1 | woddf2, this will tell you what you need to install with the kde core package. if you installed the kubuntu package then you probably won't have to do much. just type 'sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop' | 22:53 |
| chaos1 | ttyl | 22:53 |
| mcquaid | spmccann, hmm, the deb installed fine for me. i didn't chose apt. i chose the deb and manually installed without issue. it just doesn't work | 22:53 |

| ARCKEDA | siloko: Are you counting the different X11 displays? | 23:14 |
| LjL | siloko: because there is the ssh user, and the one you're logged in from locally? | 23:14 |
| * ARCKEDA probably has no idea as to waht he is talking about. | 23:15 | |
| bnovc | LjL: i was hoping to bind it to ctrl+ctrl to switch between them | 23:15 |

| bnovc | the UI doesnt work either | 23:15 |
| bnovc | i select "USA Dvorak" and it doesnt do anything | 23:15 |
| siloko | noone is logged in locally - there is no X11 session - just the ssh session | 23:15 |
| LjL | bnovc, well i use KDE, and i can certainly switch layout using a shortcut (not sure ctrl+ctrl would work though), i'm not sure about gnome but it should be very much possible | 23:15 |

| KenBW2 | ubuntu_todd: what happens when you run the disc? | 23:21 |
| LjL | siloko: so "w" says 2 or 1? | 23:21 |
| misteralexander | wall-e: Other than your movie being great . . . can you ping the gateway? | 23:21 |
| wall-e | how misteralexander? | 23:21 |
| urthmover | amrik: I want vnc functionality without having to forward ports on a customers system | 23:22 |
| amrik | urthmover: hmm i see. i know tightvnc can be used with a web interface but that runs on a different port and might need forwarding | 23:22 |
| siloko | ljl: w lists the same as who i.e. one user but says two users next to the uptime stats | 23:22 |
| ubuntu_todd | display at low quality | 23:22 |
| wall-e | misteralexander how can i ping the gateway | 23:22 |
| MethodOne | ubuntu_todd: you should wait until 8.10 is released | 23:22 |
| ubuntu_todd | I cannot get to the laptop | 23:22 |
| greedyb | Anyone know why I get this when using dvdrip? STDIN player command: xine not found : NOT Ok | 23:22 |
| beejay77 | anybody has a clue why simple games and apps are sllugish on ubuntu and no problems on win? i have sis650 graphic card | 23:22 |
| ubuntu_todd | I like 8.04 | 23:22 |
| misteralexander | wall-e: going into your network utility (System > Admin > Network Tools) and choose the tab "Ping" | 23:22 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_todd: what's the last thing that appears on the screen | 23:23 |
| ubuntu_todd | command mode | 23:23 |
| wall-e | ok and then what misteralexander? | 23:23 |
| misteralexander | wall-e: using your wired connection, type in -- 192.168.0.1 | 23:23 |
| ubuntu_todd | ubuntu@ubuntu: | 23:23 |
| siloko | ljl when I say lists I mean it just shows details of my ssh login even though it says 2 users . . . | 23:23 |
| misteralexander | and hit "Ping". | 23:23 |

| KenBW2 | ubuntu_todd: thats strange | 23:24 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_todd: theres the gdm you need to load, lemme find the command | 23:24 |
| amrik | urthmover: your customers are windows or linux based? | 23:24 |
| ubuntu_todd | I can use alt+F7 to back to my desktop. But it doesn't work in my T400 | 23:24 |
| LjL | siloko: well, i really don't know. i can only confirm that, here, ssh doesn't generate more than one user | 23:24 |

| misteralexander | wall-e: What happens? It shouldn't take THAT long. | 23:24 |
| wall-e | nothing happened | 23:25 |
| wall-e | it sent | 23:25 |
| siloko | ljl i'm connecting via an unpriviledged port - i wonder if that affects anything . . . | 23:25 |
| wall-e | but nothing received | 23:25 |
| wall-e | it says packet transmitted | 23:25 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_todd: try /etc/init.d/gdm start | 23:25 |
| misteralexander | wall-e: Okay, it couldn't ping the gateway, which usually means your router isn't configured correctly. Your signal isn't getting to the internet, because your computer can't even talk to your router. | 23:25 |
| wall-e | ok can i pm u? | 23:26 |
| BlueEagle | tmsnc sais "protocols don't match". Is there anything I can do about that? Has anyone got a suggestion for an alternative terminal-based msn-client? | 23:26 |
| misteralexander | yeah. | 23:26 |
| siloko | ljl the wierd thing is if i login to the box and ssh into the box it still only says two users, listing them both, but when i logout of the box and keep the ssh session it lists only the ssh user but still says 2 users - wierd | 23:26 |

| jclift26 | hello | 23:27 |
| regeya | GREATINGS | 23:27 |
| BlueEagle | !shout | regeya | 23:27 |
| ubottu | regeya: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:27 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_todd: basically your problem is the login manager (Gnome Display Manager, or gdm) wasn't loading, although i don't know why | 23:28 |
| regeya | I bet you never forget to turn off your caps lock, mr. perfect BlueEagle | 23:28 |
| jclift26 | greetings back atcha | 23:28 |
| siloko | ljL thanks for having a look anyway . . . | 23:28 |
| Helminthe | BlueEagle: not sure what you have tried before, centerim works quite well for me | 23:28 |
| afallenhope | what's the new STA wireless drivers? | 23:29 |
| BlueEagle | Helminthe: I did try one way back when, but I've not used any of them in a while. | 23:29 |
| peer` | Does Kubuntu 7.04 have a built in utility for mounting .iso files? If it does, would it be viable to install an OS from the mounted image? | 23:29 |
| BlueEagle | Helminthe: I'll try it. Thanks for the suggestion. :) | 23:29 |

| jclift26 | new kernel has lost my sound? can any1 help? | 23:30 |
| PEAKTOP | /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1 ? | 23:30 |
| Helminthe | jclift26: boot old kernel :) | 23:30 |
| Palma77 | ajj ktos tu mowi/pisze po polsku ? | 23:30 |
| jclift26 | already there, but that old one was crashing a lot | 23:30 |
| BlueEagle | peer`: You can mount an .iso-file just as you mount any other filesystem. What you want is to specify the type as iso9660 and the option as loop. That will give you mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/image.iso /path/to/mountpoint | 23:31 |
| ubuntu_todd | how to run a single long command in terminal. I mean I wanner continue my command in the next line | 23:31 |
| jclift26 | have it in grub to use, but had to do a lot of hard resets...so unsure whether that way to go | 23:31 |
| Helminthe | jclift26: debugging kernel drivers is a tedious task, you will be better of submitting a bug report in launchpad | 23:31 |
| BlueEagle | peer`: You can mount it to where linux usually sees cd-drives and linux won't know the difference. | 23:31 |
| jclift26 | ok what info do i need there? | 23:31 |
| PEAKTOP | how to completely remove kubuntu-desktop ? | 23:32 |
| zzattack | hey, im trying to compile and link against some boost libraries (-lboost_regex), which only seems to work if i specify the full library filename. can I prevent this and instead just use -lboost_regex? | 23:32 |
| amrik | ubuntu_todd: try putting a backslash \ and pressing enter to continue | 23:32 |
| amrik | ubuntu_todd: so command arg1 arg2 \ [enter] arg3 arg4 \ [enter] arg5 would expand to command arg1 ... arg5 | 23:33 |
| peer` | for the sake of updating kubuntu to 8.04 with a new install and partitioning the drive for a dual boot with winxp as the second OS, what should I do? Currently I have a 35gb root partition and a 5gb swap, both linux parted. Should I just burn the iso to a CD (which I can do here), format/install XP, then in the remaining partition, install 8.04? | 23:33 |
| Helminthe | jclift26: just go to bugs.launchpad.net and start a new thread/issue providing as much information as you can | 23:33 |
| KenBW2 | can you use a remote DVD drive using NFS? | 23:33 |
| jclift26 | awesome thanks for that | 23:34 |
| jclift26 | will do | 23:34 |
| T2 | hi, whats a good alternative to limewire on ubuntu | 23:34 |
| PEAKTOP | ? | 23:35 |
| peer` | I would suggest just using torrents | 23:35 |
| lakitu2 | how do i share cpu between computers? i saw a friend do it | 23:35 |
| === j is now known as Guest80996 | ||
| Helminthe | T2: limewire? :) they have a fully working linux client | 23:35 |
| Grey_Loki | PEAKTOP, if you want to completely remove kubuntu-desktop, since it's a metapackage you should just be able to run sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop | 23:36 |
| bastid_raZor | !info frostwire | T2 | 23:36 |
| ubottu | t2: Package frostwire does not exist in hardy | 23:36 |
| bastid_raZor | !info frostwire | 23:36 |
| azhar27 | T2 : Try Frostwire, it is good too. | 23:36 |
| BlueEagle | Helminthe: centerim doesn't appear to handle utf-8 characters very well. :/ | 23:36 |
| T2 | azhar27: where can i download the linux version of limewire | 23:36 |
| Helminthe | BlueEagle: you are right, this has been a constat source of frustration for me too.. | 23:36 |
| unop | bastid_raZor, just !frostwire :) | 23:37 |
| ubuntu_todd | Great | 23:37 |
| unop | !frostwire | T2 | 23:38 |
| ubottu | T2: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 23:38 |
| azhar27 | While on this topic, Does anyone know a good torrent client for Ubuntu, I am currently using utorrent on wine ? | 23:39 |
| thinkmassive | azhar27, transmission is good | 23:39 |
| unop | rtorrent - if you prefer a command line client | 23:40 |
| thinkmassive | I just switched from xubuntu and I'm trying to customize the panel... how can I remove the text from the App menu? | 23:40 |
| cyban | I dont think there is such a thing as a good torrent client | 23:40 |
| azhar27 | thinkmassive, I used transmission, didn't like ti much. Anything good and not blocked by torrent sites. | 23:40 |
| thinkmassive | and is there a window switcher panel applet that uses only icons, not text? | 23:40 |
| azhar27 | cyban , What i mean by good is simple to use, option for feeds, using less memory etc. | 23:41 |
| === danopia_ is now known as danopia | ||
| cyban | dont like the default bittorrent? | 23:42 |
| cvelasquez | hi | 23:42 |
| Helminthe | azhar27: for feeds support, you might be stuck with azureus. this rules out the "low resources" requirement | 23:43 |
| azhar27 | Helminthe , totally, azerues is a resource hog. What is everyone else using here ? | 23:44 |

| ad_ | hey can someone help me, I just upgraded my kernel using the updates and now I cannot boot Uuuntu normally as it GRUB gives me error 18 | 23:45 |
| ad_ | I have to select old kernel for it to boot | 23:45 |
| Helminthe | azhar27: for what you want, the only answer I have is "more RAM" :) | 23:46 |
| ad_ | who me? | 23:46 |
| ad_ | oh ok | 23:46 |
| jin | ad_, pop in a windows cd and install windows | 23:46 |
| ad_ | why would i want windows | 23:46 |
| jin | ad_, jk, here is what you can try | 23:46 |
| ad_ | no windows!! please hehe | 23:46 |
| Danskmand | Howdy :-) - After -a-lot- of work and searching and trial-and-error I found out that the driver fcpci is part of the kernel of my 8.04 Ubuntu. So finally I got capisuite to work with fcpci....But when sending a fax, I see in capisuite.error "controller doesnt support fax-services". Is that true ? - the pre-installed driver doesnt support faxing ? | 23:47 |
| jin | ad_, boot with the old kernel, then do sudo grub-install | 23:47 |
| Danskmand | And how can I change that ? | 23:47 |
| ad_ | what wil that do | 23:47 |
| franki | hey, there were updates this morning that caused my isight webcam to stop working, i've reinstalled the firmware, but no luck... any help? | 23:47 |
| jin | ad_, that will reinstall grub on your hd | 23:47 |
| ad_ | what if that messes up y old kjernel too | 23:48 |
| azhar27 | Helminthe , ya, but how come we Ubuntu users still don't have a good replacment for utorrent, i am kinda curious. | 23:48 |
| ad_ | then i wont be able to boot | 23:48 |
| jin | grub is the tool that manages your installed kernels | 23:48 |
| cyban | weird, 64bit Ubuntu wont find my WiFi card but 32bit will...... | 23:48 |
| ad_ | if i reinstall grub can i still boot my old kernels | 23:48 |
| === kc8pxy__ is now known as kc8pxy | ||
| genii | cyban: Thats pretty common | 23:49 |
| Helminthe | azhar27: there are at least a dozen very good replacements for utorrent in linux. you asked for something else, the most important part being "not blocked by whoever hosts my torrents" | 23:49 |
| LimCore | if I would want to start a project to improve ubuntu | 23:49 |
| LimCore | I would want to start a project to improve ubuntu. how to? | 23:49 |
| LimCore | the aim would be to 1) write more examples for man pages; 2) perhaps invent some separate man-page-alike things | 23:50 |
| PEAKTOP | Grey_Loki> kubuntu-desktop is one package. and kde their lot, how to remove all the packages kde? | 23:50 |
| jin | ad_, when you run grun-install, it installs all available kernels, that means your old kernel + new kernels | 23:51 |
| azhar27 | Helminthe , yup. Thanks anyway. Will stick with utorrent on wine :) | 23:51 |
| cyban | ya not enough 64 bit drivers | 23:51 |
| Grey_Loki | PEAKTOP, sorry, I thought kubuntu-desktop was a generic package you could use instead of worrying about all the individual packages within the Kubuntu desktop. I don't know the answer to your question - perhaps the people in #kubuntu could help? | 23:53 |
| * dr_Willis missed the question. | 23:54 | |
| dr_Willis | Im in #kubuntu also. :) ask in there. | 23:54 |
| PEAKTOP | Grey_Loki> OK, thank you :) | 23:54 |

| dr_Willis | ad_, thers other ways to install grub. I dont recall ever ysing grub-install, | 23:58 |
| jin | !grub | 23:58 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 23:58 |
