| amenado | Schmitty--> linux is not confused, perhaps your script is ? | 00:18 |
| dli | as I said, you have to troubleshoot why it messed up:( | 00:18 |
| GaMbi_DK | special configuration? | 00:19 |
| Schmitty | amenado: i can't cd -=bleh=- | 00:19 |

| blahblahx | dli: yeah, so... | 00:21 |
| blahblahx | dli: im sorry, i just dont get what you mean | 00:21 |
| dli | blahblahx, how gdm messed up. many reasons. hard to troubleshoot, but we can try step by step | 00:21 |
| Schmitty | amenado: what do you mean by escape the charaters | 00:21 |
| blahblahx | dli: i would love to try that if you had the time. | 00:21 |
| amenado | Schmitty--> use of \ to escape | 00:22 |
| dr_Willis | Schmitty, try the -- way then... cd -- -=blea=- | 00:22 |
| dli | blahblahx, try to check whether you have any error message in /var/log/gdm/ | 00:22 |
| dli | blahblahx, for the time being, the same command should fix xauth, try it again | 00:22 |
| dr_Willis | Schmitty, or try both cd -- '-=blea=-' | 00:22 |
| blahblahx | dli: oh yeah i already did it again, so im fine for this session | 00:23 |
| dli | blahblahx, "sudo ps fx|grep X" to find X command line, find xauth cookie file | 00:23 |

| dr_Willis | Schmitty, anything 'after' a -- - does NOT get parsed by the shell. it gets passed straight to the program. I belive is how ive seen it explained | 00:24 |
| dli | maybe, gdm complained | 00:24 |
| amenado | Schmitty--> a hint for you would be to look into getopt and getopts | 00:24 |

| CyberBird | one of them must be correct | 00:27 |
| blahblahx | amenado: what? | 00:27 |
| dli | blahblahx, try a n00b way, "dpkg --purge gdm && apt-get install gdm". maybe, it fixes, then, you don't have to know what went wrong | 00:27 |

| jabagawee | how do you change a truecrypt archive's filesystem (from default fat32 to ext3)? | 01:20 |
| blahblahx | dli: purge gdm didnt work | 01:21 |
| albuntu | jabagawee: you can use gparted to edit partitions | 01:21 |
| albuntu | !partition | jabagawee | 01:22 |
| ubottu | jabagawee: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 01:22 |

| jabagawee | albuntu, will this work on a truecrypt archive though? | 01:22 |
| Pavlz | remove ubuntu and you don't have any problem Perezz | 01:22 |
| blahblahx | clayg: uh on my mac | 01:22 |
| blahblahx | dli: i did it, but it didnt help | 01:23 |
| balz | I'm trying to set up an FTP server that only allows users with accounts on the server to log in, and only allows them access to a specific directory (and subdirs) ... so far this has been a complete nightmare. Can anybody help me out? I'm starting from scratch for the 3rd time | 01:23 |
| Pavlz | install a free software distribution such as debian, ututo, blag Perezz | 01:23 |
| grim76 | balz: use vsftpd with the proper arguments. | 01:24 |
| jabagawee | anyone have a sure-fire idea to change filesystems in a _truecrypt archive_? | 01:24 |
| balz | grim76: yeah i've been using proftpd... seems to be the more complex option. Do you know what the proper arguments are? | 01:24 |
| === OilFurnace is now known as GasFurnace______ | ||
| ubuntu_todd | jrib: I have one fortran program. I can compile it but when I run the executable file .out there are some errors which saying float something which I don't understand | 01:25 |
| grim76 | balz man page tells you all the arguments you need. It is very well documented. | 01:25 |
| GasFurnace______ | when is intrepid coming out? | 01:25 |
| Pavlz | and gNewSense, GNU/HURD, GNU/KFreeBSD and GNU/NetBSD, GNU/Step, GNU/Darwin Perezz and you solved your problems | 01:25 |
| balz | grim76: okay i'll check it out. thanks for the tip! i just found the page on ubuntu help as well | 01:25 |
| Uplink | i just updated my kernel and its asking me what should i do with menu.lst ? | 01:25 |
| grim76 | balz: if you have any questions I will be around. | 01:26 |
| Pavlz | ubuntu is full of problems | 01:26 |
| balz | grim76: i no doubt will. Thanks much! | 01:26 |
| blak | jrib: but i want to pre download the packages on this computer for installing later when i don't have internet.. i am trying to swtich between wicd and network manager | 01:26 |
| albuntu | Uplink: you can overwrite it because i think you can edit it any time later if you want | 01:26 |
| jrib | blak: so after you generate the download script, download it | 01:26 |
| jrib | s/it/them | 01:26 |
| blak | ah ok thanks jrb | 01:27 |
| Uplink | albuntu: i have xp on this pc too | 01:27 |
| Pavlz | for example is not possible to see a dvd with totem and to choose which language we prefeer | 01:27 |
| albuntu | Uplink: that isnt a problem. if xp doesnt show up after overwrite you can add it later | 01:27 |
| corndog1 | to use ssh do i need to install it???? | 01:27 |
| jrib | blak: make sure you just copy to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and then use APT or synaptic normally. And make sure you are not mixing ubuntu versions | 01:27 |
| OilFurnace______ | when is Intrepid RC being released? | 01:27 |
| albuntu | !ssh | corndog1 | 01:27 |
| ubottu | corndog1: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 01:27 |
| danbh_intrepid | Pavlz: while I agree there are annoying problems, the place to vent is #ubuntu-offtopic This channel is too busy for anything but support | 01:27 |

| Pavlz | there is not a package to unmount dvd and remove all the parts of a dvd that don't interest us | 01:28 |

| naknomik | How do I install the new adobe flash player v10? | 01:28 |
| danbh_intrepid | Uplink: have you made any changes to menu.lst? | 01:28 |
| jrib | ubuntu_todd: so your question is how to debug a fortran program. You need to ask #fortran maybe | 01:28 |
| albuntu | Uplink: install package maintainers version , and after that if you have any problem come here and will fix it. | 01:28 |
| fenerli7 | naknomik: adobe site | 01:28 |
| naknomik | I'm running 8.04, on 64bit | 01:28 |
| fenerli7 | naknomik: lol, good luck then | 01:28 |
| jrib | blak: I mean just make sure both are hardy, or both are gutsy, etc. | 01:28 |
| Uplink | albuntu: kk thanx | 01:29 |
| jrib | naknomik: they provide a deb | 01:29 |
| Uplink | danbh_intrepid: yea i have edited it.... i have xp on this pc | 01:29 |
| fenerli7 | jrib: for 64 bit? | 01:29 |
| naknomik | fenerli7: I downloaded the package, but it says it wrong architecture. | 01:29 |
| wng- | is there an easy way to undo the kernel update earlier? It broke my wireless and fglrx | 01:29 |
| jrib | fenerli7: good point | 01:29 |
| === Craighhney is now known as Criahhgney | ||
| jrib | naknomik: just use hardy-backports then | 01:29 |
| jrib | naknomik: or check if it's there first | 01:29 |
| fenerli7 | naknomik: java and flash are a bitch when you use 64 bit unfortunately | 01:29 |
| Pavlz | do a backup and mount GNU/linux Debian | 01:29 |
| danbh_intrepid | Uplink: well, maybe you should make a backup copy first, real quick. I think the reason its asking if you want to replace is because it can detect that you manually edited it. Make the backup copy to save your edits | 01:30 |
| blak | jrib: thanks | 01:30 |
| jrib | naknomik: sorry, doesn't seem to have hit -backports yet. So you have two options. 1) the easier, safer option: wait for it to hit -backports. 2) The harder option: download the tar.gz and use nsplugwrapper yourself | 01:30 |
| Uplink | danbh_intrepid: aahh too late lol | 01:30 |
| balz | grim76: when i'm done configuring, can I pastebin my conf file and have you give it a quick look-over? | 01:30 |
| linkmaster03 | What does the lock in the corner of a file mean in Nautiulus? | 01:31 |
| linkmaster03 | Nautilus | 01:31 |
| fenerli7 | I'm trying to upgrade to Intrepid but my /boot partition is about 10MB short (50MB total), what should I delete in /boot and how do I? I'm sure it's just a matter of clearing the old kernel versions, right? | 01:31 |
| endy_c | under hardy heron my ps2 mouse is not detected, what should I do? | 01:31 |
| fenerli7 | linkmaster03: you don't have permissions for that file | 01:31 |
| grim76 | balz: sure I will look at it. | 01:31 |
| balz | thanks | 01:31 |
| linkmaster03 | fenerli7: how do I change that | 01:32 |
| jrib | fenerli7: linux-image-* is old kernel versions. Keep the latest one at least of course | 01:32 |
| fenerli7 | linkmaster03: do you think you are supposed to have permissions for that file/directory? | 01:32 |
| linkmaster03 | fenerli7: it's on my user desktop | 01:32 |
| fenerli7 | jrib: just a straight forward delete is okay? | 01:32 |
| jrib | fenerli7: it's a package. Use a package manager | 01:32 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, you have to do gdm debug then :( | 01:33 |
| balz | grim76: I'm a bit confused. by default anybody can download off of the ftp server, but only users with accounts on the server can upload? | 01:33 |
| blahblahx | dli_: will you be here in an hour? i have to do some work now | 01:33 |
| blahblahx | dli_: if not, ill see you tomorrow | 01:33 |
| niall | hi | 01:33 |
| grim76 | balz: That would be correct that is why you have to change the conf file to match what you need. | 01:33 |
| fenerli7 | linkmaster03: from a terminal, sudo chown yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername/Desktop/filewithlock | 01:33 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, no, I will be gone, sorry | 01:34 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, I have a work around | 01:34 |
| linkmaster03 | fenerli7: thanks | 01:34 |
| balz | grim76: okay. i just wasn't clear on what the default entailed... | 01:34 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, you use "startx" to start session, /etc/rc.local | 01:34 |
| fenerli7 | jrib: duh, that sure was a stupid moment, thanks for pointing that out | 01:34 |
| blahblahx | dli_: wait how do i prevent gdm from starting? | 01:34 |
| grim76 | balz: That is why you start with the defaults and then change them to suit your needs. | 01:34 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, update-rc.d -f gdm remove | 01:35 |
| sethric | hey | 01:35 |
| tritium | blahblahx: dli_ is correct. See this for more info: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start | 01:35 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, to startx by default, add one line in /etc/rc.local: /bin/su olpc -l -c "cd /home/dli;startx" | 01:36 |
| blahblahx | dli_: wait cant i use your other workaround? | 01:36 |
| blahblahx | dli_: that xauth command? | 01:37 |
| lucian | Hi! I am trying to set-up dual-view on my 1080p hdtv (hi-res) and a normal 17" monitor, nvidia-settings isn't working properly. Here is a copy of my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/58112/ | 01:37 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, /bin/su olpc -l -c "cd /home/olpc;startx" | 01:37 |
| blak | jrib: how do i make sure after using the generation script it is in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 01:37 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, two parts, xauth nlist and xauth nmerge | 01:37 |
| blahblahx | dli_: right can i do that other two part command as my workaround for now? | 01:38 |
| balz | grim76: chroot-ing a user means he will only have access to his home directory, correct? | 01:38 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, no, I think the workaround would be startx, without using gdm | 01:38 |
| blahblahx | dli_: even though the other command works? | 01:38 |
| grim76 | balz: depends on your other settings. You can setup a dedicated root and then chroot people in there. The options are all in the man page. | 01:39 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, no, you need Xserver be up to use the command | 01:39 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, I feel you can get rid of gdm issue, just use startx, I don't use gdm | 01:39 |
| blahblahx | well i used it from the terminal after i failed to login from gdm last time | 01:39 |
| blahblahx | dli_: yeah but i want to use it | 01:39 |
| blahblahx | dli_: the session changing is the best for me | 01:40 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, you can easily change ~/.xinitrc | 01:40 |
| grim76 | balz: Read through the man page and pick the options that you need. Add them or change them, and then move from there. | 01:40 |
| zigzags | anyone know how i can view the index of a website? like showing its pages and folder hierarchy | 01:41 |
| blahblahx | dli_: i think im actually going to reinstall tomorrow (i havent changed anything in the original install that i want to keep) | 01:41 |
| Jinzhu | konqueror? | 01:41 |
| blak | What exactly is /var/cache/apt/archives/ for? | 01:41 |
| dli_ | blahblahx, then, just do it. hard to guess | 01:41 |
| basti | when i define an alias, can i reload the config and use the defined alias without having to logout/login? if yes, how? | 01:41 |
| blahblahx | dli_: yeah its hard to solve the problem, and i wont lose anything | 01:42 |
| blahblahx | dli_: well see ya later | 01:42 |
| IRONHIDE | can i run ubuntu whith a pentium 3 procesor 512 mb of ram and 40gb with no problems | 01:43 |

| DINK_ | danbh_intrepid: Mac OS (extended) journaled | 02:05 |

| AllNewToMe | How do I "pastebin"? | 02:06 |
| jrib | !pastebin | AllNewToMe | 02:06 |
| ubottu | AllNewToMe: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 02:06 |
| danbh_intrepid | blak: incorrect, other things can trigger the request for a reboot. But, I don't know much about which really need a reboot, and which don't. I generally just reboot | 02:07 |
| DINK_ | danbh_intrepid: Mac OS (extended) journaled, But I haven't written any new data to the drive (other than the data the HFS+ writes) | 02:07 |
| blak | danbh_intrepid: oh ok thanks then, and goodnight for real this time :P | 02:07 |
| DINK_ | danbh_inrepid: I've used dd_rescue to recover data from a drive but that was when I accidentally pulled the plug on an external while it was reading | 02:07 |
| * Bladesman tries puzzling out the exim4 docs, trying to get SSL running for gmail. | 02:08 | |
| danbh_intrepid | DINK_: well, I have no idea, but here is a guess. Reformat back to fat32, (of course, doing the light format, not the low level one) and then use a tool thats designed for fat32 partitions | 02:08 |
| === brandon__ is now known as Brittany | ||
| DINK_ | danbh_intrepid: any direction you can point me in for fat32 recovery (I've been googling) | 02:09 |
| DINK_ | danbh_intrepid: could I use dd_rescue in that case? | 02:09 |
| === freaky[t] is now known as fReAky_t | ||
| danbh_intrepid | DINK_: well, the last time I checked into that, I was using windows, and there are tools out there for windows... but again, I really don't know. dd_rescue seems harmless enough, as long as you are copying to a different partition/harddrive | 02:10 |
| AllNewToMe_ | here is the output as requested. http://paste.ubuntu.com/58130/ | 02:11 |
| trimeta | So, I have this perennial problem on my system because I made my /boot partition too small: I have barely enough room to store two kernels at the same time, but if I try to uninstall one of the kernels, it runs out of space in the middle of the uninstall. | 02:11 |
| trimeta | In particular, I end up with (right now) linux-image-2.6.24-19-server successfully uninstalled, but it dies in the middle of that process, leaving linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server still installed. | 02:12 |
| === nester_ is now known as Rubik | ||
| tnnc | can someone help with everydns | 02:12 |
| AllNewToMe | Sorry, lost my internet connection!! | 02:12 |
| trimeta | And I can't remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server, because it apparently needs to have linux-image-2.6.24-19-server installed to remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server. | 02:12 |
| === emma is now known as joe-the-plumber | ||
| crimsun | trimeta: a hackaround would be to mv the initrd*.bak to /var/tmp/ | 02:12 |
| === joe-the-plumber is now known as emma | ||
| Bladesman | rm -rf /lib/modules/kernalmodulesdirectory? | 02:13 |
| === Rubik is now known as Jagger|Jack | ||
| trimeta | crimsun: I'll try to remember that for the future, but right now is there a way to force it to remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-server without complaining that the relevant kernel isn't installed? And just wiping the modules directory won't make apt know it's not installed. | 02:13 |
| === Jagger|Jack is now known as Rubik | ||
| * Bladesman would repartition the drive. Bugrit. | 02:14 | |
| DINK_ | danbh_intrepid: http://www.linux.com/articles/56588 I found the preceeding link helpful (if anyone if looking for similar hard drive recovery topics) | 02:15 |
| Bladesman | Will be an unending PITA, otherwise. | 02:15 |
| trimeta | I mean, it's really annoying when it tries to get a copy of the /boot/System.map-2.6.24-19-server file, which no longer exists, just so it can remove something I don't want anyway. | 02:15 |
| wng- | Has anyone else had trouble with fglrx after todays kernel update? | 02:15 |
| danbh_intrepid | trimeta: can you pastebin the error? | 02:15 |

| dajhorn | trimeta: If your root filesystem is in a regular partition, then you can just stop using /boot. | 02:16 |
| danbh_intrepid | DINK_: interesting, maybe I'll add that to help.ubuntu.com | 02:16 |

| dajhorn | trimeta: If the root ("/") is in RAID or LVM, then you should just backup and reinstall. | 02:16 |
| crimsun | trimeta: just touch the nonexistent file | 02:17 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: you have no iptables rules. What exactly the issue you are having that you think a firewall is to blame? | 02:17 |

| AllNewToMe | jrib, I cant send see the Windows machine from my Ubuntu machine nor can I see my Ubuntu machine from Windows. So there is no network communication between the two. I have completely disabled the Windows Firewall | 02:22 |
| Bladesman | redwhitewaldo: if your router's status page doesn't have the info, try "route" | 02:22 |
| onx | AllNewToMe, can you ping each others? | 02:22 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: you need to explain exactly what you are doing. Again, you are saying "see". I don't know what you are doing when you say that | 02:22 |
| AllNewToMe | DigitalFiz: Yes, samba is installed and works perfectly with other machines on the network. (Windoze 98, OpenSuse, Mint, XP) | 02:23 |

| ubottu | hacker3d: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:24 |
| erisco | jrib, its a geforce 7600 and I installed the previous drivers through the repo | 02:24 |
| jrib | erisco: you didn't use envy then? | 02:25 |
| erisco | jrib, very recently, and for no apparent reason, I was reduced to failsafe graphics | 02:25 |
| erisco | jrib, I do | 02:25 |
| erisco | jrib, but I have tried the normal one now to no success | 02:25 |
| jrib | erisco: if you use envy, then you need to reinstall the drivers everytime there is a kernel upgrade | 02:25 |
| AllNewToMe | jrib: "see" in this case means to actually "see" an icon or an entry under workgroup or a folder or anything that I can click on to access file/folders that are stored on both machines. i need to be able to access this data from either machine as part of my work. | 02:25 |
| hacker3d | i have make the install medi ubuntu repository first | 02:25 |
| erisco | jrib, well I just recently installed the envy drivers | 02:26 |
| erisco | jrib, after the kernel upgrade | 02:26 |
| erisco | jrib, from the repository... | 02:26 |
| jrib | erisco: and after you booted the new kernel? | 02:26 |
| erisco | jrib, yes | 02:26 |

| AllNewToMe | Bladesman, how do I use it? | 02:31 |
| casperr | hey | 02:31 |
| woddf2 | How do I get a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit to work in Hardy? | 02:32 |
| erisco | jrib, I have tried different xorg.conf's without much success. When I delete xorg.conf and let it configure my resolution comes back to normal, but glx still does not work | 02:32 |
| genii | woddf2: That one should use the emu10k2 driver | 02:32 |
| woddf2 | Where do I get that? | 02:32 |
| Bladesman | Stands for Samba Web Administration Tool. | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | My live 24bit works - with no problems.. i recall. | 02:32 |
| AllNewToMe | is there a quick way to enter a persons nick that i want to respond to? | 02:33 |
| woddf2 | It worked in Dapper, but not Hardy. | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | !tab | AllNewToMe | 02:33 |
| ubottu | AllNewToMe: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:33 |
| erisco | AllNewToMe, type part of it and hit tab | 02:33 |
| AllNewToMe | thanks :) | 02:33 |
| jrib | erisco: it's an envy issue. I don't know anything about envy. Try reinstalling one more time with envy. If that fails, try purging and then installing again | 02:33 |
| genii | dr_willis: The one box I have with a SB Live! 24 also did not need any special attention to work | 02:34 |
| erisco | jrib, I tried the normal drivers as well with no difference though | 02:34 |
| don_jr_KS | What are the commands to burn an ISO please? I'm new to *nix systems | 02:34 |
| redwhitewaldo | qwerty | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | genii, yea. for a low end card.. that one works very well. | 02:34 |
| erisco | jrib, the one the hardware device manager recommends | 02:34 |
| erisco | jrib, hardware driver manager | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | don_jr_KS, in ubuntu or windows? Ubuntu - ya can just double click onthe iso | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | !iso | 02:34 |
| ubottu | 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. | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | !burn | 02:34 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 02:34 |

| don_jr_KS | Thanks | 02:35 |
| woddf2 | Where do I get the emu10k2 driver? | 02:35 |
| jrib | erisco: once you use envy, things become weird and you the repo version won't work right. I don't know if that's still the case, but it was at one point | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | woddf2, it should be allready built in.. | 02:35 |

| don_jr_KS | Geoffrey2 I only want one OS, but for some reason my DVD burner isn't working right | 02:49 |
| don_jr_KS | in 'computer' it shows it's a DVD/CD writer, but when I right click the ISO and tell it to write, it doesn't | 02:49 |
| jrib | Flynsarmy: isn't -r recursive? | 02:49 |
| onx | TD-Linux, get testdisk and try that | 02:49 |
| Flynsarmy | jrib, yes. all the .com's are folders | 02:49 |
| jrib | Flynsarmy: and you want to zip all the .com or ignore all the .com? | 02:50 |
| Flynsarmy | jrib, i want it to zip all .com folders in current directory and ignore all other folders/files. basically anything with '.com' in its name | 02:50 |
| balz | grim76: if you're still there, here's my vsftpd.conf file ... I think it's right. | 02:50 |
| balz | grim76: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58139/ | 02:51 |
| jrib | Flynsarmy: zip -r name *.com should work, but I don't really use zip | 02:51 |

| grim76 | balz: Are you wanting people to upload to your ftp? | 02:51 |
| TD-Linux | onx, I'm using gpart right now | 02:52 |
| TD-Linux | what's the executable name for testdisk? | 02:52 |
| balz | grim76: yes, but only users who have accounts on my machine, and only to their home folders | 02:52 |
| TD-Linux | I installed it but can't figure out how to run it :( | 02:52 |
| grim76 | balz: ok that looks like it should work. | 02:52 |
| TD-Linux | currently, gpart has found the two partitions that do exist | 02:52 |
| onx | TD-Linux, testdisk is the executable name. don't touch gparted for now | 02:52 |
| * TD-Linux crosses his fingers... and nearly breaks them | 02:52 | |
| TD-Linux | gpart, not gparted | 02:52 |
| balz | grim76: no security problems as far as you can tell? Also, is there a way to ban certain users from ftp? | 02:52 |
| onx | TD-Linux, ah ok | 02:53 |
| grim76 | balz: There is but I have not had to do that in a while. | 02:53 |
| TD-Linux | I'll cancel it and use testdisk | 02:53 |
| Pierre_ | I have an APC power back up hooked up to the serial port of the computer, I would like to know how I find out if HH knows it is connected and what action it will take | 02:53 |
| Flynsarmy | jrib: thanks | 02:53 |
| balz | grim76: oh and just to be clear: the chroot jail only applies to FTP, right? a user seated at the terminal can still work with other files? | 02:53 |
| balz | grim76: okay i'll google that lol thanks | 02:53 |
| adrian_ | hi all | 02:53 |
| lat | I've been given a CD that works fine on a WindowsXP computer, but on my Ubuntu computer I get: "Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'." Is there a way around this? | 02:53 |
| TD-Linux | alright running testdisk now, it was in /usr/sbin | 02:53 |
| grim76 | balz: Yes it only apples to the ftp and not ssh connections as well. | 02:53 |
| TD-Linux | note I'm using a fedora live cd, though the system I just lost is ubuntu | 02:54 |
| === adrian_ is now known as lordars | ||
| balz | grim76: i don't have to uncomment "write_enable" do i? | 02:54 |
| lordars | what is sinbol the debian | 02:54 |
| grim76 | balz: For people to be able to upload yes you do. | 02:54 |
| Pierre_ | I have an APC power back up hooked up to the serial port of the computer, I would like to know how I find out if HH knows it is connected and what action it will take | 02:55 |

| balz | grim76: not to beat a dead horse, but what are the security risks associated with chroot_local_user? | 03:01 |
| balz | grim76: or risks rather, it doesn't sepcify that they are security related | 03:01 |
| onx | TD-Linux, didn't even know about gpart. from what i just read on it, author seems to have lost interest a while back :o | 03:01 |
| AllNewToMe | Does anyone know the Ex Chat name of a Linux Mint group please? | 03:01 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: I gave you that information already | 03:01 |

| AllNewToMe | jrib: Yes, and I lost it :( (I'm a bit slow) | 03:02 |
| jrib | zigzags: no. I assume you want to do this on a server locally as your question doesn't really make sense for some random website | 03:02 |
| TD-Linux | YES | 03:03 |

| TD-Linux | but meh, not that useful anyway, I can order a restore DVD | 03:03 |
| Windsurfer6191 | What is the difference between all the nvidia-glx packages? | 03:03 |
| TD-Linux | nvidia-glx-new is for recent cards | 03:03 |
| jrib | Windsurfer6191: different versions for different cards | 03:03 |
| balz | grim76: okay. thanks so much for the help. it seems to be working! | 03:03 |
| onx | TD, try the "deep search" or whatsitcalled | 03:04 |
| TD-Linux | nvidia-glx-*-dev is for using nvidia-specific headers to compile (aka you don't need it) | 03:04 |
| punto | hi.. does the flash package install the new flash version? (10) I'm on 'hardy' | 03:04 |
| jrib | punto: not yet | 03:04 |
| Windsurfer6191 | jrib: Hm. Is there a way to get all the drivers? | 03:04 |
| Windsurfer6191 | I'm on Intrepid. | 03:04 |
| Windsurfer6191 | Or at least, using an intrepid ISO | 03:04 |
| jrib | Windsurfer6191: umm, just get the one that works for the card you have. Intrepid questions belong in #ubuntu+1 | 03:04 |
| TD-Linux | onx, I can't find that option | 03:04 |
| TD-Linux | what card do you have? you probably want nvidia-glx-new | 03:05 |
| onx | TD-Linux, after doing the initial quick search, you get the option to search more | 03:05 |
| Windsurfer6191 | jrib: Okay. I tried the 173 package, and that didn't work. I don't know what card I have, but it's a few years old. What would you guess? | 03:05 |
| onthefence928 | how do i turn off emerald without shutting down compiz entirely or uninstalling emerald? | 03:05 |
| jrib | Windsurfer6191: system -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers usually suggests the one you need | 03:06 |
| onx | that will take quite a while then, but sometimes works for bringing stuff back that has been messed with thoroughly :9 | 03:06 |

| youngbreezy | yeah | 03:15 |

| bryantdoss | youngbreezy: right click the top toolbar and select "New Panel"? | 03:16 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | I need to make my ubuntu box a Socks 5 Proxy using the CLI | 03:16 |
| _Zeus_ | !ask | the_dude | 03:16 |
| ubottu | the_dude: 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. :-) | 03:16 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: the comments at the top of /etc/rc.local tell you what it is. It's a way to run things on startup as root | 03:16 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | Well I want to make my ubuntu box a socks 5 proxy and cause it to start on boot up | 03:16 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: depending on what you want exactly, you could just use ssh (-D) | 03:16 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | can i make ssh socks 5 compatiable? | 03:16 |
| youngbreezy | bryantdoss:thanks..will everything minimize to this | 03:16 |
| jrib | the_dude: no one can help you if you do not answer questions you are asked | 03:16 |
| bryantdoss | youngbreezy: probably not yet, you may have to add the window list to the toolbar | 03:17 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: yes... | 03:17 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | How do i do that in my cli? | 03:17 |
| bryantdoss | right click and select "Add to panel" | 03:17 |
| iamelite | So question if you have a live command kernel can you install Xubuntu through the net, or the base kernel itself | 03:17 |
| arvind_khadri | hi, whats the module for AC97? | 03:17 |
| bryantdoss | youngbreezy: and select Window List | 03:17 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: see the -D option in 'man ssh'. Pass -D when you connect. | 03:17 |
| the_dude | my screen man, its off resolution man, i cant open any resolution manager, and i was with the nvidia mx440 driver, and suddendly it came to 640.... i justa wanna get back the driver and download the manager that i got yesterday.... | 03:17 |
| bryantdoss | youngbreezy: then everything will minimize to it, you can also add a lot of other cool stuff like extra workspaces, buttons, etc | 03:17 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | jrib: how do i make that happen automatically on boot up? | 03:18 |
| grafixbadnow | did anyone else lose their nvidia workarounds with the latest updates? I'm back to 800x600 generic drivers again. | 03:18 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: not with ssh | 03:18 |
| PMT | You're running intrepid? | 03:18 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | jrib: how could i do socks 5 to start on bootup? | 03:18 |
| PMT | Rather - grafixbadnow and the_dude and co, are you asking about intrepid or hardy? | 03:18 |
| indio | Hi. | 03:18 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: you just have the option of creating a local port when you ssh somewhere that acts as a socks proxy | 03:19 |
| the_dude | hardy | 03:19 |
| grafixbadnow | PMT... I'm on hardy | 03:19 |
| youngbreezy | bryantdoss:thanks | 03:19 |
| indio | How do I know the kernel version I'm running? | 03:19 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | jrib: can you walk me through it? | 03:19 |
| PMT | indio - uname -r will tell you. | 03:19 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: I don't know. Did you try: apt-cache search socks proxy | 03:19 |
| indio | PMT: Thanks. | 03:19 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | just did | 03:19 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: that should give you a place to start | 03:20 |
| indio | Is 2.6.24-21-generic the latest kernel version ? | 03:20 |
| ezzieyguywuf | is psad only a standalone program or is there some sort of antivirus package that uses it? (psad = port scan attack detector) | 03:20 |
| genii | indio: For 8.04 yes | 03:21 |
| arvind_khadri | indio, ya | 03:21 |
| PMT | MiddleOfNowhere - it seems like gstm might do what you want. It allows you to open SSH tunnels (including SOCKS5) automatically on startup of a client computer. | 03:21 |
| indio | Thanks folks. | 03:21 |
| PMT | It depends on whether you're asking because you want a specific machine to be an open SOCKS5 proxy or because you want one machine to be a client. | 03:21 |
| grafixbadnow | I'm also on 2.6.24-21-generic. also have nvidia problems | 03:21 |
| arvind_khadri | if i compile envy's drivers on a new kernel will the settings for the older ones be lost? | 03:22 |
| JulioNeto | Any of you are using Flash Player Plugin 10 for Linux right now? | 03:22 |
| JulioNeto | in Ubuntu | 03:22 |
| nkei0 | Hello, is there a way to re-install a fresh 8.04 without losing any of my settings/data? | 03:22 |
| PMT | arvind_khadri - unless you modified the code itself, I don't believe so. | 03:22 |
| lat | Google shows that the error "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'" is a long time bug that is still not fixed. What a pain! | 03:22 |
| AllNewToMe | jrib: How do I add the Linux Mint chanel to the Ex Chat program so that it appears in the list like "#ubuntu" | 03:22 |
| PMT | JilioNeto - I am, but I'm in intrepid. | 03:22 |
| ezzieyguywuf | nekei: jsut save your home folder | 03:22 |
| bbyever | is there a program in ubuntu to turn voice commands into command line commands? | 03:23 |
| arvind_khadri | PMT, but it happens for me... | 03:23 |
| JulioNeto | PMT, Do you have noticed any better change in it? | 03:23 |
| ezzieyguywuf | nkei: of course, it won't be a completely 'clean' install since you are resetting all your settings. why do you need a clean install? | 03:23 |
| PMT | arvind_khadri - then Envy's installer is doing something unpleasant and blowing away your settings. | 03:23 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: Connect to the server it is on and then join the channel. Check the first menu dropdown you have, it's probably around there that you can connect to a new server | 03:23 |
| arvind_khadri | PMT, when i try to install it removes the older packages | 03:23 |
| PMT | JulioNeto, I don't have nearly as many crashes in it as I used to. I don't really use flash sites much, so I don't notice much. | 03:23 |
| PMT | arvind_khadri - what packages specifically? | 03:24 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | PMT: I want the machine to be a socks 5 proxy. Not a client | 03:24 |
| JulioNeto | ok | 03:24 |
| JulioNeto | ;) | 03:24 |
| JulioNeto | tks | 03:24 |
| nkei0 | ezzieyguywuf: I tried to update my system with the latest 20 updates and it failed in the middle and my laptop lost power. So my fsck is failing and I can't repair the broken packages and start because my acpi doesn't work. | 03:24 |
| PMT | MiddleOfNowhere - then you probably want some package out of apt like jrib said, and I can't offer you any help setting it up, as I've not done it. :) | 03:24 |
| AllNewToMe | jrib: But how do I connect to the server!! :( | 03:24 |
| arvind_khadri | PMT, nvidia-kernel-envy and 2 more...cant remember now.. | 03:24 |
| PMT | nkei0 - your fsck is failing how? | 03:24 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: Connect to the server it is on and then join the channel. -----> Check the first menu dropdown you have, it's probably around there that you can connect to a new server <---- | 03:24 |
| ezzieyguywuf | nkei: damn that sucks. so yea if you save /home/[user] to an external hard disk you should be good | 03:25 |
| biouser | anyone know of a good way to check my connection speed? | 03:25 |
| Cryptorchild | speedtest . net | 03:25 |
| nkei0 | PMT: I'm not entirely sure, it won't let me copy it. However, it fails and then it my xserver gui won't start and i only have the option to type in my login/pw and then nothing happens. | 03:25 |
| ezzieyguywuf | nkei: i usually put /home on its own partition so that when i do re-install, i just don't format that partition and i'm good to go. | 03:25 |
| PMT | fsck failing is something you'd probably want to address before trying to repair the packages, nkei0, unless it failed at precisely the right time to hose the binary | 03:25 |
| Crayboff | can anyone who knows ubuntu, can you help me out? my internet isn't working on the ubuntu half of my computer. Vista works fine. I reset the iptables. I have all the info I have on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=946504 please help! | 03:26 |
| AllNewToMe | jrib: what dropdown? where? | 03:26 |
| nkei0 | PMT: It started the fsck after repairing the broken packages, it was one of the every so often checks. | 03:26 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: you have menu items at the top of your window right? | 03:26 |

| MiddleOfNowhere | I want to Use SSH to reroute traffic as a Socks5 proxy so I can use video and voice as well as typical traffic | 03:27 |
| TD-Linux | time to come up with a good way to combine their results | 03:27 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: I told you how to do that already | 03:27 |
| smil3y | AllNewToMe> wow dude click "XChat" at the top left of the window your in | 03:27 |
| nkei0 | PMT: I agree. That's why I was trying to re-install in place... Do you think if I upgrade to the 8.10 beta it will be ok? | 03:27 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | jrib: I looked but there was so many packages to choose from | 03:28 |
| PMT | nkei0 - It won't fix your fsck problems. :) | 03:28 |

| nkei0 | PMT: Thanks. | 03:28 |
| AllNewToMe | jrib: Ok, if I click on "IRC" it opens a box but there is nothing about MINT? | 03:28 |
| jrib | MiddleOfNowhere: pick one, google it, read documentation. Then go on to the next one. Then make a decision. There were about a dozen when I searched and not all were actual proxies | 03:28 |
| grafixbadnow | crayboff? | 03:28 |
| PMT | No problem. Come back in if it doesn't work. :) | 03:28 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | jrib: thanks | 03:29 |
| nkei0 | PMT: LoL, if I can. | 03:29 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: so? Didn't ubottu tell you the server the mint channel was on? | 03:29 |
| Crayboff | umm, grafixbadnow, I'm using wireless so i thought it should be the wlan one but anyway I'm not really sure what you are asking, but that link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=946504) has a copy of the ifconfig. I can't redo right now because I am using Vista right now. | 03:29 |
| AllNewToMe | jrib: um? | 03:29 |
| TheBeast | I'm planning to install an ubuntu system using the minimal iso (the one that's like 10 megs) and I'd like to enable the interpid (cutting edge) repos. do you think this would be possible? | 03:29 |

| FiReSTaRT | i have a grub question on hardy.. i'm already doing a dual boot (vista/hardy) but i wanna add xp for some work apps that won't wine or run on vista.. will i have to manually configure grub or will it auto-detect the new bootable partition? | 03:29 |
| isilion | Hi. problems with ati radeon 9800 pro. i've installed opensourcedrivers, atidrivers, and ati drivers with envyng. after every installation, screen freezes on 3d games, and only i can do is a hard shutdown. the videocard is just bought yesterday. i forgot to tell that im using ubuntu 8.04.1 with kernel 21 installed and updated 30 mins ago | 03:30 |
| ezzieyguywuf | TheBeat: enabling the repoes shouldn't be a problem once you have the system installed. it's just a matter of entering it into synaptic | 03:30 |
| PMT | Crayboff - the contents of route -n would be interesting. Also, as said in the thread, aptitude purge firestarter. The next thing to do is start grepping your /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc.local for things which restore iptables rules. | 03:30 |
| FiReSTaRT | TheBeast: the way they advertised intrepid, it should be able to run on just about anything and i don't see any problems with the native repos | 03:30 |
| reddraconi | 'allo all: having issues running socks5 over ssh for video, ideas? | 03:30 |
| PMT | s/contents/output/ | 03:30 |
| grafixbadnow | crayboff... sorry. i didn't notice that those postings on the forums were actually you. I never could get the mac address to show on eth0. I think I had a different problem with similar symptoms. can't help you. sorry to disappoiht | 03:30 |
| PMT | reddraconi - more details? what kind of issues? | 03:31 |
| smil3y | FiReSTaRT> you have an empty partition for xp already? | 03:31 |
| jrib | TheBeast: you don't "enable intrepid repos". It's a different release. You would need to upgrade from hardy to intrepid if you have the hardy minimal iso. Instead you should get an actual intrepid iso. #ubuntu+1 is the channel for help with intrepid | 03:31 |
| nkei0 | exit | 03:31 |
| AllNewToMe | where do I type irc.spotchat.org? in my browser (does nothing except present security warnings!) | 03:31 |
| PMT | grafixbadnow - I'd bet you a quarter your eth0 was firewire or otherwise unreal. | 03:31 |
| reddraconi | i can pass TCP traffic, can't seem to get UDP through though | 03:31 |
| balz | grim76: i keep getting an authentication error (530) | 03:31 |
| skulls | ./server irc.spotchat.org | 03:31 |
| FiReSTaRT | smil3y: nope.. i was gonna create a 10gig partition.. that's one good thing i can say about vista.. partitioning is very easy | 03:31 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: it's the server you want to connect to in xchat | 03:31 |
| PMT | That's correct, reddraconi. You don't expect that to work, because of how SOCKS works. Sorry. The -w option to SSH or a VPN would probably be more what you want. :) | 03:31 |
| TheBeast | jrib: what I really want is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list or whatever and get interpid installed off the minimal ISO over the network(network install) is that possible? | 03:32 |
| genii | skulls: omit the . before the / | 03:32 |
| skulls | yeah | 03:32 |
| grafixbadnow | pmt.. you're probably right. i've been using ubuntu for all of 6 weeks, so you could make a lot of money betting against met | 03:32 |
| PMT | [Someone correct me if I'm mis-recalling and SOCKS has no problem with UDP.] | 03:32 |
| reddraconi | -w? woot, I've already got -D to reroute traffic through the SSH | 03:32 |
| AllNewToMe | Thanks all, I'll just give it up, I have no idea what to do :( | 03:32 |
| jrib | TheBeast: doesn't sound like a terribly great idea, no. Ask #ubuntu+1 if there exists an intrepid minimal iso, that is what you want | 03:32 |
| smil3y | FiReSTaRT> its easy enough to add xp to grub, ubuntu doesnt automagically add other os to grub though unless it finds it on ubuntu install | 03:32 |
| Crayboff | PMT, i'm not really sure what you are saying as I am pretty much a ubuntu noob. I purged firestarter already, but what do meam by grepping those files? | 03:33 |
| skulls | I'm wanting to use 3D cube, I activate it and the other thing, but when I do ctrl+atl+left it changings the screen | 03:33 |
| skulls | any help? | 03:33 |
| smil3y | FiremanEd> just google grub xp theres a ton of instructions on the net | 03:33 |
| PMT | -w is a bit more complicated, reddraconi, but it's how you set up a complete virtual network between the two using SSH, which should do UDP and anything else you want. | 03:33 |
| Fezzler1 | I need some advice for a CTO | 03:33 |
| grafixbadnow | skulls... what graphics card? | 03:33 |

| omnomnOMINOUS | Hi all! I'm using Firefox 3.0.3 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, and I'm getting random crashes with Flash. Sometimes Firefox crashes when I load a page with Flash; sometimes it crashes when I start playing a video. Sometimes it crashes the first time I try to load a page with Flash, and then works fine the second time I try to load it. Sometimes it crashes over and over. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance! :) | 03:33 |
| PMT | Crayboff - I mean grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/* /etc/rc.local and then putting the results in the thread. | 03:33 |
| FiReSTaRT | smil3y: thanks.. this was just a curiosity thing.. i remember it being easy enough, but i'm a lazy bum lol.. ughhh my baby will be soiled with 2 versions of doze | 03:33 |
| skulls | grafixbadnow, idk, it's one that came in this computer | 03:33 |
| PMT | omnomnOMINOUS - have you filed a bug using apport? | 03:34 |
| b3lorixx | is there a better portscanner i can get besides the one builr into ubuntu | 03:34 |
| omnomnOMINOUS | PMT: no, how do I do that? | 03:34 |
| * FiReSTaRT bbiab pit stop | 03:34 | |
| PMT | b3lorixx, better in what sense? | 03:34 |
| benzin` | I have no internet connection on my kubuntu install, however I do have internet on my PC. I just downloaded NDISwrapper 1.53 as a tar.gz file and can move it over to my laptop, however I don't know what I need to do to extract and install it. a guide would be appreciated. Anybody? | 03:34 |
| smil3y | FiReSTaRT> i cant get my youngest off xp......... WOW addict | 03:34 |
| jrib | AllNewToMe: in xchat: Xchat menu -> network list -> Add -> edit new network -> irc.spotchat.org for the server. close. select the new network. connect. /join #linuxmint. If you installed linux, you can do this | 03:34 |
| Crayboff | PMT alright I think I can do that, you'll have to wait for me to shutdown Vista and reboot as ubuntu then reboot as vista again, though. | 03:34 |
| grafixbadnow | skulls.... someone (else) can tell you the command to use to get your graphics card. it's lspci something | 03:34 |
| b3lorixx | PMT, able to scan remote addresses | 03:34 |
| Blice | Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu and it says I have no harddrive. I went into /dev and did 'ls', and there isn't an entry with hd* or sd*? I also tried 'fdisk -l' and it returned nothing. What should I try next? | 03:34 |
| PMT | omnomnOMINOUS, I'm not sure of the nice way to enable apport using the GUI, but edit /etc/default/apport, change enabled=0 to enabled=1, then run /etc/init.d/apport start | 03:35 |
| grafixbadnow | skulls.. go into terminal and type lspci. it will be a long list, but you can probably pick out the name of a graphics card | 03:35 |
| PMT | Then the next time it crashes, you should get a prompt to submit a bug. :) | 03:35 |
| smil3y | benzin`> tar -xvf and the name of the tarball will extract it | 03:35 |
| grim76 | balz: Are there some users that you can login as and others that you can't? | 03:35 |
| jrib | omnomnOMINOUS: know bug, should be fixed in intrepid being released in 2 weeks | 03:35 |
| PMT | b3lorixx, what port scanner are you using? If it's backed by nmap, it can scan any arbitrary address. | 03:35 |
| ezzieyguywuf | is there a way to make a removable drive automount to the same place every time? | 03:35 |
| skulls | it | 03:35 |
| benzin` | smil3y, do i need to cd to the dir it's in to do that? | 03:36 |
| jrib | ezzieyguywuf: give it a label | 03:36 |
| Crayboff | PMT, wait, are the codes you want me to do: $grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/* and $grep -i iptables /etc/rc.local? | 03:36 |
| balz | grim76: no, i can't log in with any user. I keep gettinf 530: login failed | 03:36 |
| smil3y | benzin`> yes | 03:36 |
| jrib | !label | ezzieyguywuf | 03:36 |
| ubottu | ezzieyguywuf: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. | 03:36 |
| skulls | grafixbadnow, it's all VIA Tech names, | 03:36 |
| b3lorixx | PMT, i was using teh horrible one built into teh Ubuntu Netowkr tools | 03:36 |
| benzin` | smil3y alright, then how do I install it? apt-get? | 03:36 |
| ezzieyguywuf | jrib: thanks | 03:36 |
| PMT | Crayboff - sure, but you can run them both as one command: $ grep -i iptables /etc/init.d/* /etc/rc.local | 03:36 |
| PMT | b3lorixx, I have a default install laying around and don't see it. It's under Network->Port Scanner? | 03:37 |
| grim76 | balz: Pastebin your config after the last set of changes that you made. | 03:37 |
| omnomnOMINOUS | jrib: oh, can you link me to the bug report? | 03:37 |
| isilion | Hi. problems with ati radeon 9800 pro. i've installed opensourcedrivers, atidrivers, and ati drivers with envyng. after every installation, screen freezes on 3d games, and only i can do is a hard shutdown. the videocard is just bought yesterday | 03:37 |
| smil3y | benzin`> nope. should be a "readme" somewhere in the extracted files, follow instructions in that, every tarball is different | 03:37 |
| grafixbadnow | skulls... hmmm I'm way too new to be helping you here. i was hoping for nvidia or ati or something else I'd heard of. I spent a week on a graphics card problem a while ago, so i was going to point you in that direction | 03:37 |
| b3lorixx | PMT, System, Admin, Netowrk tools | 03:37 |
| benzin` | smil3y, alright thanks | 03:37 |
| tundrayeti313 | Is there a key combo to restart X but not kill the user session? | 03:37 |
| PMT | Fascinating. Never tried this one. | 03:37 |
| jrib | omnomnOMINOUS: search bugs.ubuntu.com, I don't know it offhand. It involves flash and pulseaudio and the libflashsupport package | 03:37 |
| smil3y | benzin`> most likely it will tell you to ./configure then make and then sudo make install | 03:38 |
| PMT | b3lorixx, have you tried specifying a network interface that's not lo in the Devices tab? | 03:38 |
| omnomnOMINOUS | jrib: ok. i tried searching on google for "firefox 3 flash crash ubuntu hardy", but it returns a bunch of results, with a bunch of different people having problems, and a bunch of different solutions, none of which work for everyone | 03:38 |
| skulls | grafixbadnow, great.. I'm going to install an ATI Gforce in this box tomorrow, any links, or does it autodetect the card and find drivers? | 03:38 |
| genii | tundrayeti313: I severely doubt it | 03:38 |
| PMT | isilion, does syslog or dmesg show anything useful? | 03:38 |
| grafixbadnow | skulls... as my name indicates, i'm in here looking for help with nvidia graphics. the recent updates blew out all my hard-worked patches that had it working before | 03:38 |

| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| isilion | now i dont have any driver installed. i was going to install ati drivers from envyng, if you dont suggest anything | 03:39 |
| PMT | tundrayeti313, I'm reasonably certain that you're not going to get an equivalent of nohup for X without a really weird X extension. Such exist, but they're not installed by default, so it won't work everywhere. :) | 03:39 |
| jrib | omnomnOMINOUS: there's no good solution that I know of in hardy. You either deal with the crashes or remove teh support for pulseaudio and can't play more than one sound when flash is playing. (there's nspluginwrapper, but that's a hack to use on 32bit) | 03:39 |
| === benzin` is now known as peer` | ||
| tundrayeti313 | PMT: hmmm, not familiar w/ nohup | 03:40 |
| skulls | grafixbadnow, thanks though, I'll come back tomorrow when I'm installing the new card | 03:40 |
| fyrmedic | is anyone good at pppd scripts that can help me figure out an issue? | 03:40 |
| PMT | nohup is a command-line tool to prevent a program from going away when the appropriate terminal vanishes. | 03:40 |
| ezzieyguywuf | jrib: that link refers me to a program titlted e2label which doesn't seem to be in the repoes. is there an alternative program? | 03:40 |
| isilion | pmt so what i do? | 03:40 |
| PMT | ezzieyguywuf, e2fsprogs/e2fstools should have it. | 03:40 |
| jrib | ezzieyguywuf: it's in e2fsprogs | 03:41 |

| magicrobotmonkey | does the new flash 10 work on hulu for anyone? | 03:41 |
| isilion | grafixbadnow: me, but i think that my card its problematic in linux | 03:41 |
| ezzieyguywuf | jirb and PMT : thakns | 03:42 |
| FiReSTaRT | smil3y: otherwise, i'd be running Ubuntu and nothing else | 03:42 |
| grafixbadnow | isilion... there was a workaround, but the most recent updates seem to have disabled it. I don't know much about ubuntu/linux, so diagnosing the problem is difficult | 03:42 |
| isilion | PMT: i havent tried to run games in failsafe mode | 03:42 |
| PMT | Oh, okay, your problem only triggers with 3D. I thought it was on boot. That's far more debuggable. :) | 03:42 |
| isilion | PMT: whatever driver works until show desktop and run 2d programs. but 3d freezes screen | 03:42 |
| peer` | NDISwrapper's install is telling me to log in as root, however I don't know the root password. I haven't fiddled with anything. Is there a default root password? | 03:43 |
| selocol | how do i override the "Bad: new password is too simple" when I try to change my password with "passwd". If I do sudo passwd, that changes the passwd of root, not the user's password I want to change. Thanks. | 03:43 |
| grafixbadnow | isilion & PMT... I had that problem with geforce 8200. could never run 3dd | 03:43 |

| grim76 | balz: What login shell do you have these users set to? | 03:43 |
| PMT | selocol - sudo passwd [user], but I wouldn't recommend overriding it, it really knows when it's too simple. | 03:44 |
| grafixbadnow | pmt... yes. i installed nvidia's driver. turning on 3d effects caused crash | 03:44 |

| grafixbadnow | tritium... i'm very new. i followed someone's post on a message board | 03:45 |
| PMT | b3lorixx, zenmap is probably what you'd like. | 03:45 |
| isilion | grafixbadnow: i coulndt say if before it worked, because my videocard is new. i installed it yesterday | 03:45 |
| fyrmedic | I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from? | 03:45 |

| peer` | I'm new to Linux, I'm just trying to get my wireless card working and everything I've read says to use NDISwrapper. I can't wget it because I have no internet on my laptop yet, so I'm trying to install it through make commands in the console. I just cd'd to the ndiswrapper dir and did 'make uninstall' then 'make', now the install text file is telling me to log in as root and type 'make install' | 03:45 |
| tritium | !nvidia | grafixbadnow | 03:45 |

| balz | grim76: I'm using the user i made when i installed ubuntu. Are you referring to something in the config file though? I ask because i didn't specify any users in the config file | 03:46 |
| peer` | ( jrib ): is there anything there that pretains specifically to installing NDISwrapper offline? | 03:46 |
| PMT | grafixbadnow - this is the problem with installing drivers direct from nvidia on ubuntu. the ubuntu init stuff will automatically nuke some of the glx stuff from nvidia with its own on every boot, leading to the wrong glx version...and hilarity. | 03:46 |
| grafixbadnow | tritium... it's somewhat a moot point. since downloading last night's ubuntu updates, the graphics workaround i had no longer works. back to 800x600 | 03:46 |
| FiReSTaRT | peer`: you need to use sudo for it to work | 03:46 |
| jrib | peer`: yes | 03:46 |
| peer` | ( jrib ): okay | 03:46 |
| grim76 | balz: Ok so when you login as the user that you created at install that is the one that you get the error with? | 03:46 |
| jrib | peer`: and more importantly, it has documentation that may help you avoid using it altogether | 03:46 |
| peer` | ( FiReSTaRT ): wait, I can 'sudo make install' and that sould work? | 03:46 |
| balz | grim76: yes | 03:46 |
| grafixbadnow | pmt & tritum... so I should get something direct from ubuntu. lesson learned. how do I go about it? | 03:46 |
| isilion | tritium: i did that howto yesterday and 3d not work at all | 03:47 |
| FiReSTaRT | peer`: yeah as long as it's been configured first | 03:47 |

| PMT | b3lorixx, nmap -p [port or range of ports] [host] | 03:47 |
| grafixbadnow | pmt... i'll give that a go and report back. | 03:47 |
| PMT | grafixbadnow - System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager | 03:47 |
| PMT | Then enable the nvidia drivers. It should automagically installed nvidia-common and so forth, and enable them in X, and tell you to reboot into a new world of wonder. | 03:48 |
| PMT | [Be sure to remove the envy drivers first, if they're around - I have no idea what will happen if they are.] | 03:48 |
| balz | grim76: actually, if my current user doesn't work, that's fine. I was just testing it out using that user. The user I'm going to create is the only one that will be using FTP, so if it's easier to create a new user, that's fine. | 03:48 |

I need both of these cams to work simutanously,... | 03:49 |

| grafixbadnow | pmt.... i get error message from terminal: E: Couldn't find package nvidia-common | 03:50 |
| ezzieyguywuf | if i just right click the drive, go to drive>>settings and set the mount point, will that do the same as changing the label? | 03:50 |
| balz | grim76: no | 03:50 |
| grafixbadnow | in system>admin> there is no restricted driver manager. when i go into proprietary drivers, it says none are in use | 03:50 |
| PMT | Can you enable any? | 03:50 |
| ezzieyguywuf | also, how do i set them to automount, as once i set the label they no longer automount | 03:50 |
| joegeek | PMT: i dont know yet, but i know its not webcamd,... im fix`n to do some timelapse video,.. | 03:50 |
| PMT | If not, that's exciting. | 03:50 |
| fyrmedic | I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install. Apparently something has changed since the script isn't working now, the scripts says to send ATZ , when it is called it actually sends ATZ^M, which causes an error and fails the script. Anyone know where that ^M is coming from? | 03:50 |
| PMT | joegeek - yeah, webcamd could, but probably shouldn't, do what you want. | 03:51 |
| grim76 | balz: Are you using a firewall? Also how are you trying to connect? Have you restarted the vsftpd service? | 03:51 |
| JulioNeto | I'll install Flash Player 10 in my Ubuntu, which already has the Flash P. Player 9. Should I remove the 9 one before install the 10? | 03:51 |
| joegeek | PMT: any suggestions? | 03:52 |
| balz | grim76: i'm trying to connect via fireFTP on the local network using a hostname. There's no firewall on the internal network | 03:52 |
| grim76 | balz: Ok try to connect from the command line. I don't know anything about the fireftp client or how it works. | 03:53 |
| grafixbadnow | pmt & tritium... in the aforementioned workaround (that lead me astray), i vaguely remember doing something to force GLX not to work. I don't really know what that means, but it seems relevant now | 03:53 |
| PMT | I'd look at kdenlive, joegeek, but I have no idea off the top of my head. | 03:54 |
| PMT | grafixbadnow - that's exciting, and correct. Can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file somewhere? :) | 03:54 |
| PMT | [Rather - that's exciting, and you're correct, that is relevant.] | 03:54 |
| PMT | JulioNeto - yes, for the love of all you hold dear, uninstall Flash 9 first. | 03:54 |
| JulioNeto | :D | 03:55 |
| JulioNeto | tks! | 03:55 |
| fyrmedic | I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install.

| grafixbadnow | <with shame> what's the terminal command to open a simple text editor to view xorg.conf? | 03:55 |
| fyrmedic | grafixbadnow: sudo gedit | 03:55 |
| joegeek | PMT: tnks,... i take it your suggestion on my problem is, find the software i wanna use,.. then get my cam to work with it,.. correct? | 03:56 |
| fyrmedic | grafixbadnow: or sudo nano | 03:56 |
| PMT | joegeek - tragically, I have no precise experience with this. For time-lapse video, you might want to look at the ubuntu-multimedia repositories, but those aren't official, and are sometimes hit or miss with functionality. I'd recommend kdenlive and cinelerra as starting points as standard video editing programs. | 03:57 |
| PMT | The magic keyword you'd like to search for with your webcam's name or what you want to do is probably v4l2 or video4linux2. | 03:57 |
| fyrmedic | joegeek; what are trying to do with the camera | 03:57 |
| PMT | Also, vlc supports recording from v4l2 sources, so you can use that to record from the webcam and then find an editor program later, if you like. | 03:57 |
| theblue | Hi all. | 03:58 |
| undertaker | :'( | 03:58 |
| theblue | I'm trying to use a USB storage device on a Thinkpad T60 with Hardy, and whenever I plug it in, it throws an error saying "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume." | 03:58 |
| hale3rd | hi | 03:58 |
| PMT | theblue - what does dmesg think you're trying, and what kind of filesystem is on the device? | 03:59 |
| fyrmedic | I am trying to run a script to connect via pppd through my blackberry with bluetooth. I have had this working before but have had some issues recently that required a clean install.

| dink | danbh_intrepid: http://www.linux.com/articles/56588 I found the preceeding link helpful (if anyone if looking for similar hard drive recovery topics) | 03:59 |
| PMT | hale3rd - sort of. the caveat is that if you used ext3 as your root, ext3 doesn't like moving around very much. | 04:00 |
| PMT | joegeek - ouch, sorry to hear that. :( | 04:00 |
| genii | fyrmedic: Likely because file created in windows end with ^M | 04:00 |
| balz | grim76: sorry i just saw your last message. Command line is just ftp hostname, right? | 04:00 |
| theblue | joegeek: my sympathies to you. | 04:00 |
| hale3rd | hmm | 04:00 |
| hale3rd | ok | 04:00 |
| genii | fyrmedic: The end of each line that is | 04:00 |
| grim76 | balz: yes | 04:00 |
| hale3rd | thank you | 04:00 |
| don_jr_KS | how can I install a .deb file? | 04:00 |
| jrib | don_jr_KS: of? | 04:00 |
| Hilikus | hey guys, whats the best FS to share a partition between ubuntu and windows? | 04:00 |
| balz | grim76: that seems to have worked... | 04:00 |
| hale3rd | PMT: do you think i will destroy my drive using gparted? | 04:00 |
| PMT | Hilikus - I like vfat or ntfs-3g. | 04:00 |
| Hilikus | its all gonna be data only, no system stuff | 04:00 |
| grafixbadnow | pmt.... i dumped it on my old wikipedia usertalk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Feco#Code | 04:00 |
| fyrmedic | genii; I wrote the script in gedit. does that happen often? | 04:00 |
| balz | grim76: it now says ftp> | 04:01 |
| PMT | hale3rd - not unless you "accidentally" tell it it can delete a partition. :) | 04:01 |
| grim76 | balz: did you login? | 04:01 |
| jrib | Hilikus: or ext3 and a driver for windows to read it | 04:01 |
| joegeek | fyrmedic: fix`n to take time lapse video of my hydroponic garden,... one cam on a close up, and one at a 6 foot distance,... | 04:01 |
| don_jr_KS | jrib I downloaded adobe flash player for ubuntu in a .deb file. I don't know how to install it properly | 04:01 |
| hale3rd | lol | 04:01 |
| joegeek | tnks theblue,.. | 04:01 |
| jrib | !deb | don_jr_KS | 04:01 |
| ubottu | don_jr_KS: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 04:01 |
| hale3rd | ok, thanks! | 04:01 |
| Hilikus | jrib i thought of that, how good is that driver? | 04:01 |
| wartalker | how to set the init level | 04:01 |
| fyrmedic | joegeek; have you looked at zoneminder? | 04:01 |
| PMT | Cool. | 04:01 |
| jrib | Hilikus: works for me | 04:01 |
| genii | fyrmedic: Shouldn't. Usually see it when some script is imported from a windows box and made with notepad or such. | 04:01 |
| balz | grim76: yes. it prompted me for a user name and password and now it says "ftp>" | 04:01 |
| grim76 | balz: ok do an ls -l | 04:01 |
| don_jr_KS | I click it once, it opens Ark with nothing inside it. | 04:01 |
| joegeek | fyrmedic: I've not looked at any software,... | 04:02 |
| jrib | wartalker: why? | 04:02 |
| hale3rd | PMT: last thing, does it matter how i set up dual boot? i had ubuntu installed first. | 04:02 |
| balz | grim76: let me pastebin | 04:02 |
| grim76 | balz: ok | 04:02 |
| tritium | wartalker: there are only 3 that debian/ubuntu use: 0 (reboot), 1 (single-user), and 2. You really only use 2 on a regular basis. | 04:02 |
| fyrmedic | genii; I figured that. I originally copied and pasted from a webpage. Then when the error started I re-entered by hand and still get it. | 04:02 |
| Hilikus | im kinda trying to avoid fat32 since its not very realiable so going with ext3 and a windows driver is my inclination | 04:02 |
| theblue | PMT: What should I do to get this to mount? | 04:02 |
| wartalker | tritium: if set 1, does it need the nvidia driver | 04:03 |
| balz | grim76: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58158/ | 04:03 |
| fyrmedic | joegeek; take a look at zoneminder. It is designed to work with remote cameras and such. I don't know if it will work with your intended plan but worth a try. | 04:03 |
| PMT | grafixbadnow - I edited your Driver "nv" line to say "nvidia" and deleted some superfluous lines. Try the config as it exists on WP right now? | 04:03 |
| balz | grim76: ls -l is at line 10 | 04:03 |
| grafixbadnow | will do | 04:03 |
| grim76 | balz: looks like you are working. | 04:03 |
| tritium | wartalker: runlevel 1 is single-user (recovery) mode, and doesn't load X, so won't "need" the nvidia driver | 04:03 |
| merther | Hi. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on one of my partitions but the Ubuntu's partitioner fails to see my Partition Table. How can I get it to go into one of my already created partitions? | 04:03 |
| woli | how do i change permissions of a folder? | 04:04 |
| balz | grim76: so in theory, ftp clients should work as well, right? Also, is my user chroot-ed? | 04:04 |
| woli | chmod what? | 04:04 |
| PMT | theblue - try, from the command-line, running the command "dmesg" and reporting any errors [anything involving the word "mount" or "fat" is relevant to this] | 04:04 |
| jrib | !permissions > woli | 04:04 |
| ubottu | woli, please see my private message | 04:04 |
| PMT | merther - what kind of system? | 04:04 |
| wartalker | tritium: thanks | 04:04 |
| hale3rd | PMT: last thing, does it matter how i set up dual boot? i had ubuntu installed first. | 04:04 |
| grim76 | balz: They should...and they should be chroot'd to that folder and the folders that are created under that folder. | 04:04 |
| PMT | hale3rd - it shouldn't. IIRC neither NTFS nor ext3 like moving the head of the filesystem around. | 04:05 |
| PMT | Try it and find out. :) | 04:05 |
| merther | it's a p4 with a Seagate Baracuda 320 gig hard drive. First partition has Xp pro | 04:05 |
| theblue | PMT: looks like it thinks it is a CD-ROM drive. | 04:05 |
| theblue | PMT: but it's an SD reader. | 04:05 |
| PMT | theblue - ah, hurray. | 04:05 |
| balz | grim76: I can cd to / but not to /etc ... the latter makes sense, but isn't the first one outside of the home directory? | 04:05 |
| PMT | is there a card in it? | 04:05 |
| theblue | PMT: yes. | 04:05 |
| grafixbadnow | pmt... i just pasted your changes into my xorg.conf. will ctrl+alt+bksp be enough to make your changes "live"? | 04:05 |
| PMT | formatted with fat, right? | 04:05 |
| hale3rd | ok, thanks dude!! | 04:05 |
| PMT | grafixbadnow - probably. try it and find out. :) | 04:05 |
| JulioNeto | \O/ It is weird! Firefox can play Flash now but the sites think I don't have it ôÔ | 04:05 |
| tritium | grafixbadnow: yes | 04:06 |
| grim76 | balz: if you compare cd / with the first ls -l they will more than likely be the same. | 04:06 |
| merther | the first partition is ntfs and the partition I've set for Ubuntu is ext3 | 04:06 |
| PMT | merther - fascinating. does the partitioner see your hard drive at all? | 04:06 |
| balz | grim76: oh right. / is relative or something, right? | 04:06 |
| kyrksaeterora_ | is there anybody here who has like fifteen minutes of their time to help me out with getting my wireless card working under kubuntu 8.04? | 04:06 |
| grim76 | balz: yes | 04:06 |
| PMT | kyrksaeterora_, ask your question and the room will answer. :) | 04:06 |
| merther | ya shows /dev/hda. I can create a new partition table and install that way and it works fine but then I'd have to reinstall windows as it would override my boot loader | 04:07 |
| balz | grim76: alright, thanks again. I'll just have to find a client that works now =) Can you recommend a windows client? | 04:07 |
| PMT | merther - not to mention your filesystems. :) | 04:07 |
| grim76 | balz: For windows I either use command line, or filezilla. | 04:07 |
| ubuntu_todd | jrib: how to connect to HPC in ubuntu? | 04:07 |
| kyrksaeterora_ | is there any simple, non-command-line method of getting ndiswrapper installed? that's the big problem right now | 04:07 |
| merther | right | 04:07 |
| balz | grim76: okay thanks again | 04:07 |
| PMT | kyrksaeterora_, ndisgtk is the GUI thing, I believe. | 04:07 |
| jrib | ubuntu_todd: I don't know what HPC is. Just ask the channel | 04:07 |
| fyrmedic | genii; I just re-wrote it with nano, thinking that was the problem, and the same thing happened. Any ideas? | 04:08 |
| grim76 | balz: You are welcome | 04:08 |
| PMT | kyrksaeterora_, yeah, ndisgtk. Install it and run it, and it'll walk you through everything but finding the Windows driver for your card. :) | 04:08 |
| PMT | grafixbadnow, what's the good word? | 04:08 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest62067 | ||
| merther | I don't really mind reinstalling windows though. I'm worried that if doing that and putting on windows again I may have to reinstall linux again which would then not detect the partition table again. | 04:09 |
| PMT | [brb flickering away] | 04:09 |
| PMT | merther - you won't have to reinstall linux as long as you don't delete the linux partition. you'll just have to reinstall grub. | 04:09 |

| merther | How do I just reinstall Grub. That done from the live cd part? | 04:09 |
| PMT | merther - someone in the room can help, but in short, grub-install '(hd0)' probably does what you want in most instances. | 04:10 |
| genii | fyrmedic: Well, ^M means carriage return so likely something in pppd parsing | 04:10 |
| merther | K i'm gonna try letting ubuntu partition the drive, then reintstalling windows then grub and see if that works | 04:11 |
| fyrmedic | genii; thanks thats what I thought. I'll keep trying | 04:11 |
| theblue | PMT: how do i force this to mount as an SD card, rather than a CD-ROM drive? | 04:11 |
| grafixbadnow | pmt... yeah. it's dead. there is a split second of beautiful graphics immedately after ctrl+alt+bksp. then the screen flickers on off on off (like the graphic card is trying to figure things out)... then i'm back to 800x600 | 04:11 |

| mneptok | Kristie: logout and back in. try running pidgin from a terminal. | 04:28 |
| merther | you can specify a specific partition to do the swap file in windows | 04:28 |
| dulak | theCarpenter: no, no sub paths from PATH | 04:28 |
| Flynsarmy | Khisanth, wow there are, thanks. | 04:28 |
| merther | but when you specify a swap file in linux the drive is hidden in windows I think | 04:28 |
| theCarpenter | dulak: any way to change that behavior, or set some parameter to enable it? | 04:28 |
| mneptok | merther: it's not a drive. it's a partition. formatted as Linux swap. which Windows cannot read. | 04:28 |
| dulak | theCarpenter: not that I'm aware | 04:28 |
| Kristie | mneptok, other than any changes i just made at the terminal in the last five minutes, i've been having the same problems with pidgin for quite awhile now. would logging out and back in fix this? | 04:29 |
| kyrksaeterora | okay, so ndiswrapper is already installed. when I 'man ndiswrapper' i get no manaul entry. is this normal? can I just go ahead and install the ndisgtk? how do I install a .deb file? | 04:29 |
| theCarpenter | any way to emulate that behavior other than a shell script that runs on startup? :\ | 04:29 |
| mneptok | Kristie: unknown. | 04:29 |
| dulak | kyrksaeterora: how about you read the entire page | 04:29 |
| Kristie | mneptok, okay, most likely no ;) | 04:29 |
| dulak | kyrksaeterora: instead of just the first paragraph | 04:29 |

| DigitalFiz | flash has gotten a lot better just since adobe took over | 04:41 |

| bpat1434 | harriseldon, not sure of the UUID. Turns out that some things changed disk-label wise so that /dev/sde was an external drive | 05:13 |

| dli_ | RickZilla, if you are new to ubuntu, I suggest you use synaptic, or just "sudo apt-get install" to install packages | 05:44 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, you don't have to handle .deb directly | 05:44 |
| harriseldon | saieno that is the drive format type from fdisk, not necessarily that the disk is actually formatted. Does the disk work in windows? might need to use chdisk from windows side. | 05:44 |

| dli_ | RickZilla, if you definitely need newer versions, you may try to upgrade to ubuntu-8.10 (beta), or backport the package | 05:45 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, check whether the new version is in 8.10, http://packages.ubuntu.com | 05:46 |

| jim_p | RickZilla: yes. change your sources.list to inteprid and do a dist-upgrade | 05:47 |
| === titan is now known as Guest18228 | ||
| dli_ | RickZilla, yes, it should be smooth for experienced users, if you don't want to risk, backports is better | 05:47 |
| rsc- | are | 05:47 |
| harriseldon | bpat1434 you label the partition, not the device /dev/sdd1 not /dev/sdd | 05:47 |
| Guest18228 | Ubuntu is telling me I have 700 updates to do and when I load up the Update Manager it starts talking about a partial upgrade... is it trying to upgrade me to the next ubuntu? If so, I don't want this. How do I get it to stop and only give me crucial security updates? | 05:47 |
| bpat1434 | harriseldon, ah, okay | 05:47 |
| === lacqui_ is now known as lacqui | ||
| RickZilla | jim_p and dli_: Thanks, I'll check that out | 05:47 |
| BronzeWalla | i'm trying to install hardy on a dell studio laptop, the install went fine, but when i reboot the screen goes white and then slowly gives me vertical lines and never makes it to the log in screen... anyone know what could be causing this? | 05:48 |
| harriseldon | Wintervenom it is definitely acpi. It is a very new laptop | 05:48 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, check whether the version you want is in 8.10 first | 05:48 |
| RickZilla | As you can see, I'm a very new ubuntu user...but an experienced GIMP user, so getting that up and running is causing me some frustration | 05:48 |
| RickZilla | dli_: will do | 05:48 |
| jim_p | dli_: why do i think that new-version+fresh packages is better than old-version+bakports? | 05:48 |
| greggman | hello.. how to change eth2 to eth0? | 05:49 |
| harriseldon | Wintervenom what do you get as the output from cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state (use pastebin) | 05:49 |
| intangir | when does ibex officially come out? | 05:49 |
| jim_p | RickZilla: because i missed some part of the conversation, you want to install gimp 2.6? | 05:49 |
| paul68 | !8.10 | 05:49 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:49 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, 8.10 has gimp-2.6.1-1ubuntu2 | 05:49 |
| jim_p | RickZilla: that is only in ibex? | 05:49 |
| Guest18228 | BronzeWalla, reboot the computer and press escape when it tells you, select recovery mode. This will load up another window. In the window select "fix x server" or something like that. | 05:49 |
| dli_ | jim_p, debian idea, do not encourage new users to testing | 05:49 |
| bpat1434 | harriseldon, it didn't work. I used e2label, I can see the label; however, after umounting and mounting they still show as XXX.X GB Media instead of their label | 05:50 |
| Wintervenom | harriseldon: It says there is no such file. | 05:50 |
| jim_p | dli_: i mean for when 8.10 comes stable... | 05:50 |
| owen1 | how to find the screen resolution in terminal? | 05:50 |
| greggman | In K-Network MAnager Icon I found out that my box uses eth2..How could I change it to eth0? | 05:50 |
| brandon1 | I'm trying to install 8.10 on my laptop, but when I select "install now" or any other option from the starting menu, it does not progress, anyone know why? | 05:50 |
| RickZilla | dli_: I'm using gimp 2.6.1 now...I need the updated version of this particular script | 05:50 |
| paul68 | !8.10 | 05:50 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:50 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, then, you should upgrade to 8.10, /j #ubuntu+1 | 05:50 |
| Guest18228 | BronzeWallaThis should give the the x window manager. If the laptop you have has NVIDIA or ATI graphics card I suggest you get EnvyNG, install it and use that to install your graphics driver. | 05:50 |
| bullgard4 | te: I believe it could be at the bottom of /var/log/apt/term.log. But I am not sure. | 05:51 |
| daniele | qema-hd winxp.ing | 05:51 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, backporting gimp could be nasty | 05:51 |
| bullgard4 | Although System > Administration > Network > (Network Settings) > Connections > Wired connection shows "Address: 192.168.178.11" ifconfig returns "inet addr: 192.168.178.25". What do I need to adjust so that ifconfig will show "inet addr:192.168.178.11"? | 05:51 |
| harriseldon | saieno disk may have errors. check out http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsck for details | 05:51 |
| jim_p | brandon1: some minor problem i guess, since you can boot the live cd. use the alternative to install | 05:51 |
| ttmrichter | harriseldon, leonheart: OK, that changed the fonts for Writer. How do I do the same for Calc? There doesn't seem to be an equivalent setting for it. | 05:51 |
| rsw | hey all, whats the haps | 05:52 |
| Leonheart | ttmrichter: i think not for calc :P | 05:52 |
| RickZilla | dli_: Ok, but I'm not even sure this plugin is in the new version | 05:52 |
| ttmrichter | Leonheart: so I can't make it stop using a novelty font as its default in Calc? | 05:52 |
| ttmrichter | I mean seriously, it's using the dumbest possible font: it can't be read unless it's at about 50pt. | 05:53 |
| jim_p | ttmrichter: lol. what is that font? | 05:53 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, if you need the current development version of gimp, the best chance is still going to 8.10 and backporting experimental, or just gimp-development | 05:53 |
| ttmrichter | jim_p: Gear Crank, it's called. | 05:54 |
| rsw | how come dell mini 9's rhythmbox doesnt come with the jamendo plugin | 05:54 |
| RickZilla | dli_: I have the latest GIMP installed...just need the latest version of this plugin to work on it | 05:54 |
| en1gma | im running ubuntu 8.04 and was just wondering how do you rotate the 3d cube? | 05:54 |
| rsw | lol | 05:54 |
| en1gma | i have wobbly windows | 05:55 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, 2.6.1 is the latest | 05:55 |
| brandon1 | hi, I am having a problem trying to install 8.10 on my laptop, when I select a boot option at the first menu, it just sits there and does not progress | 05:55 |
| en1gma | i used to run beryl all the time but i dont see how to rotate cube | 05:55 |
| harriseldon | ttmrichter not elegant but you can use replacement fonts | 05:55 |
| dulak | en1gma: ctrl-alt-arrow | 05:55 |
| RickZilla | dli_: That's what I have | 05:55 |
| coloclone | Quick ? I'm getting a new drive and besides LTS any other reason to upgrade from 7.04 on the 30th? | 05:55 |
| RickZilla | I upgraded it manually | 05:55 |
| dulak | en1gma: or ctrl-alt-mouse and spin it manually | 05:55 |
| DigitalFiz | en1gma, advanced desktop effects check synaptics | 05:55 |
| ttmrichter | harriseldon: I'm not sure what you mean. | 05:55 |
| te | bullgard4: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58196/ | 05:55 |
| jim_p | en1gma: hold ctrl + alt and move your mouse | 05:55 |
| en1gma | ok need to check | 05:55 |
| rsw | is anybody interested in what the mini 9 is missing from regular ubuntu lol | 05:55 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, as I said, 8.10 has 2.6.1 | 05:55 |
| en1gma | cntrl-alt mouse dont work | 05:55 |
| en1gma | i have the other effects though | 05:56 |
| brandon1 | could someone help me please? | 05:56 |
| DigitalFiz | need to have more then 1 desktop also | 05:56 |
| dulak | en1gma: then turn on cube | 05:56 |
| en1gma | i set to 4 desktops in case the default 2 wasnt enough | 05:56 |
| jim_p | brandon1: cant you boot to live cd? | 05:56 |
| DigitalFiz | and you need to turn cube on in advanced desktop effect | 05:56 |
| en1gma | i downloaded compiz settings manager and did set 3d cube on | 05:56 |
| brandon1 | nope | 05:56 |
| en1gma | already | 05:56 |
| brandon1 | it just sits there | 05:56 |
| dli_ | brandon1, /j #ubuntu+1 | 05:56 |
| harriseldon | ttmrichter Tools->Options OpenOffice.Org Fonts (enable Apply replacement table). Then create a replacement from the bad font to the new font. | 05:56 |
| RickZilla | dli_: ...but I don't know if it has the latest version of this plugin, which is separate from GIMP | 05:56 |
| brandon1 | i tried dli, nobody responded there | 05:56 |
| en1gma | digital_, might be onto something | 05:56 |

| dulak | en1gma: can you ctrl-alt-arrow to spin the cube? | 05:57 |
| te | anyone wanna take a look? im having a problem with upgrading my packages: here is the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58196/ | 05:57 |
| en1gma | no i dont see a cuve | 05:57 |
| [BD]Oric | d | 05:57 |
| en1gma | i can do alot of other effects though | 05:57 |
| dli_ | brandon1, I will try to help you in #ubuntu+1 | 05:57 |
| brandon1 | thanks | 05:57 |
| rsw | this is freenode right | 05:57 |
| te | rsw: yes | 05:58 |
| ttmrichter | harriseldon: The problem isn't a bad font. The problem is a bad program insisting on using said font despite nobody actually asking for it. | 05:58 |
| en1gma | dulak cntrl-alt-arrow is a slide | 05:58 |
| en1gma | switches between 4 desktops | 05:58 |
| dulak | en1gma: turn off desktop wall then | 05:58 |
| dulak | en1gma: you can't have wall and cube together | 05:58 |
| darkbishop | !printer | 05:58 |

| Ven]n | ext2 or ext3 when installing ubuntu to usb key? | 05:59 |
| bullgard4 | te: So there are too many errors. Try to find out the more important ones. Probably dmesg contains important errors. Run 'dmesg > dmesg.log20081016; gedit dmesg.log20081016' and analyze this log for error messages. | 05:59 |
| DigitalFiz | usually when you check cube it says turn wall off and offers to do it for you | 05:59 |
| dulak | en1gma: you also need rotate cube turned on | 05:59 |

| Some_Person | How do I make usplash appear not stretched on a 1280x800 screen? | 06:02 |
| en1gma | i still cant rotate | 06:03 |
| Kr0ntab | Some_Person, edit /etc/usplash.conf | 06:03 |
| merther | Grub doesn't seem to detect the windows side. Can that be modified from within Ubuntu? | 06:03 |
| harriseldon | ttmrichter yw : ) | 06:03 |
| ech0dish | sup | 06:03 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, not sure, unless it's built for the specific ubuntu version | 06:03 |
| Kr0ntab | e.g. 1024 x 768 should do | 06:03 |
| jim_p | Some_Person: usplash is hardcoded into the kernel as a module. if you have the patience you can remake your own in 1280*800 | 06:03 |
| Ven]n | installing ubuntu to usb key with or without swap? | 06:03 |
| dli_ | RickZilla, otherwise, you'd better get source of the .deb and build your own | 06:03 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: It's already set to xres=1280 yres=800 | 06:03 |
| ech0dish | i found out something neat, i figured out how to post as other users on yahoo groups | 06:03 |
| jim_p | Ven]n: i suggest without | 06:03 |
| Ven]n | jim_p, why? :) | 06:04 |
| Kr0ntab | then... sudo update-initramfs -u | 06:04 |
| jim_p | Ven]n: too much readings and writings on the swap will reduce the usb stick life | 06:04 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: Should I change it to a 4:3 res? | 06:04 |
| deserteagle | good evening all | 06:05 |
| * deserteagle waves | 06:05 | |
| harriseldon | Wintervenom it looks like DSDT file is the compiled version of ACPI provided by hardware manufacturers. Windows is very liberal and skips errors. Linux does not, hence issues of hardware manufacturer targets Windows only and writes ACPI code with errors | 06:05 |
| jim_p | en1gma: are you done with compiz? | 06:05 |
| Kr0ntab | change it to 1024 x 768... it typically sisn't stretched... did you enable framebuffer? | 06:05 |

| en1gma | im still messing around | 06:05 |
| jim_p | deserteagle: video output | 06:06 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: I don't know. I never modified anything. Even the Live CD is stretched | 06:06 |

| jim_p | en1gma: http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/10/25/compiz-fusion-keyboard-shortcuts/ look at this | 06:06 |
| en1gma | its hard to mess with | 06:06 |
| Kr0ntab | whats the native resolution for your monitor? | 06:06 |
| en1gma | yea i had that site before i came her | 06:06 |
| en1gma | bu tthanks | 06:06 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: 1280x800 | 06:06 |
| dulak | balz: check /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers | 06:06 |
| deserteagle | Kr0ntab me? | 06:06 |
| deserteagle | oh | 06:06 |
| Some_Person | It's the only one that looks normal on it | 06:06 |
| harriseldon | Wintervenom here is a site with details on extracting and fixes your DSDT (http://users.telenet.be/PrittyFlemishPages/linux/aspire1800_3.html). I have never done it. I was hoping my laptop would have error just so I could try, but it did not. | 06:06 |
| Kr0ntab | deserteagle, sorry no... I was speaking to Some_Person | 06:06 |
| en1gma | oh man that cntl-super is sweet | 06:07 |

| paul928_laptop | no one else has had problems with the latest kernel upgrade and madwifi? | 06:08 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: So should I switch it to 1024x768 even though that isn't my monitor's native resolution? | 06:08 |
| Wintervenom | Oh, wow, that looks complicated. | 06:08 |
| merther | /etc/grub.conf is supposed to be empty if it's missing the windows partition right? | 06:09 |
| Kr0ntab | Some_Person, it wouldn't hurt anything... if anything it may improve if usplash isn't liking your 1280x800 | 06:09 |
| harriseldon | Wintervenom you can complain to Toshiba that ther ACPI code has errors, but I do not think you would get very far | 06:09 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: It's stretched horizontally at 1280x800 | 06:09 |
| Kr0ntab | it's only adjusting the usplash screen resolution. | 06:09 |
| balz | dulak: it doesn't exist | 06:09 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: It shouldn't be streched at 1280x800, since that is the correct resolution for this display | 06:10 |
| Some_Person | But I'll try 1024x768 | 06:10 |
| dulak | balz: read the docs on vsftpd, I believe you can make that file and add users you want disabled but on my setup that file exists and has root listed | 06:10 |
| Kr0ntab | Some_Person, I know... it shouldn't. Cool deal. | 06:10 |
| dulak | balz: you should have ftp disabled for root and any user that has sudo access | 06:10 |
| balz | dulak: ooh okay. it should be in the man page, right? | 06:11 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: I have an Intel card if that matters, and this is a laptop | 06:11 |
| fsanlu | hai guys. through wine, im trying to install office 2007, but i think it needs "WIndows Installer 3.1" cause thats what i needed to installw hen i had windows for the cd to install itself.. how do i get that to do in wine? | 06:11 |
| harriseldon | Wintervenom you can try the first few steps without changing the DSDT installed. The errors may be basic syntax errors. It does not hurt. | 06:11 |
| uwe2006 | does anyone know soundstrech | 06:11 |
| Kr0ntab | same here and I have the same res... | 06:11 |
| Some_Person | Kr0ntab: Can you check your usplash.conf? | 06:12 |
| Kr0ntab | I also enable framebuffer though... could try that too... | 06:12 |
| deserteagle | fsanlu: you shouldn't need it, but then again i used crossover office, i would recommend it. Less headaches and hassles | 06:12 |
| Some_Person | fsanlu: Use OpenOffice | 06:12 |
| CarlFK | how do I use kqemu on hardy or ibex? (everything I have found is for gutsy and involves compiling, wondring if that is still the case) | 06:12 |
| Kr0ntab | Some_Person, I use 1024x768 | 06:13 |
| deserteagle | fsanlu: wait... scratch that, i used crossover for office 2k3, regular wine for 2k7 | 06:13 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | what's the difference between x-chat and xchat-gnome? | 06:13 |

| deserteagle | button alignments and stuff | 06:13 |
| dulak | Azhi_Dahaka: x-chat works on any Xwindows, xchat-gnome needs the gnome libs | 06:13 |

| jim_p | indian_munnda: why? | 06:15 |
| fsanlu | harriseldon, thanks i will look into that | 06:15 |
| jim_p | KDE4000: you need a sudo in front of what CarlFK | 06:15 |
| deserteagle | disable graphics? o.O as in no guiness? | 06:15 |
| jim_p | said | 06:15 |
| KDE4000 | yes | 06:15 |

| fsanlu | worst comes to worst.. learning to use open office isnt even a big deal haha | 06:15 |
| KDE4000 | o_O | 06:15 |
| deserteagle | oh, then in xorg.conf you'll need to take out the specific drivers you installed | 06:15 |
| KDE4000 | i need kernel sources in /usr/src/linux gah | 06:16 |
| jim_p | indian_munnda: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver | 06:16 |
| harriseldon | KDE4000 install linux-headers | 06:16 |
| dulak | KDE4000: you sure you don't just need the headers? | 06:16 |
| KDE4000 | harriseldon: its a custom kernel | 06:16 |
| KDE4000 | ok i got nv driver going | 06:16 |
| harriseldon | KDE4000 then just make a symlink | 06:16 |
| KDE4000 | i couldent bear the 800x600 | 06:17 |

| indian_munnda | jim_p: actually my all graphics are corrupted after i rebooted after installing ati and nvidia through envy but now grphics are not well. Its showing 4 desktop screens on my monitor screen. So what should is do to repair it???? | 06:22 |
| bullgard4 | Although System > Administration > Network > (Network Settings) > Connections > Wired connection shows "Address: 192.168.178.11" ifconfig returns "inet addr: 192.168.178.25". What do I need to adjust so that ifconfig will show "inet addr:192.168.178.11"? | 06:23 |
| jim_p | indian_munnda: 4 desktop screens? like compiz?!? | 06:23 |
| andyeb_ | I need to make a process run automatically under a given user automatically on startup - what's the best approach for this? | 06:23 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: /etc/network/interfaces | 06:24 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: set your ip and such in there | 06:24 |
| indian_munnda | jim_p: no not that but 4 desktop screen which are not even clear in viewing, i can't even read the icon names. | 06:24 |
| harriseldon | anydeb_ cron can kick off jobs at boot | 06:24 |
| indian_munnda | jim_p: not compiz | 06:24 |

| andyeb_ | harriseldon: many thanks! | 06:25 |
| harriseldon | anydeb_ you use crontab -e as the specific user and it will run as that user | 06:25 |
| jim_p | indian_munnda: what is your resolution now? | 06:25 |
| Hilikus | is there a way to create an alias to /etc/init.d/ so thath if i write restart <param> it would recognize im taking about /etc/init.d/<param> restart ? | 06:25 |
| JulioNeto | I have installed Flash Player 10 in Ubuntu Hardy. But it doesn't work pretty well. I can play YouTube videos, for example, but YouTube.com think I not have it installed | 06:26 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: You may be surprised: /etc/network/interfaces includes a line: "address 192.168.178.11." | 06:26 |
| indian_munnda | jim_p: when it rebooted it asked for resolution i set it to something 12** x 10**. | 06:27 |
| jim_p | Hilikus: you mean a new script? or do you want to restart something without /etc/init.d/...? | 06:27 |
| harriseldon | Hilikus are you coming from a Red Hat/Fedora background? Isn't that how it works in Fedora. service [servicename] restart? You can always create your own script called restart and write it yourself. | 06:27 |
| jim_p | JulioNeto: i heard today that flash 10 is problematic with ff 3.03 | 06:27 |
| JulioNeto | 3.0.3 jim_p ? | 06:28 |
| harriseldon | Hilikus very simple, it only needs the line (besides standard header) /etc/init.d/$1 restart | 06:28 |
| Hilikus | harriseldon no | 06:28 |
| Kr0ntab | Hilikus, sure... at the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file, add the following... alias restart='sudo /etc/init.d/$1 restart' | 06:28 |
| jim_p | Hilikus: you can install sysvconfig and do what JulioNeto says | 06:28 |
| Kr0ntab | hehe | 06:28 |
| harriseldon | good one Kr0ntab | 06:29 |
| Kr0ntab | :-P | 06:29 |
| jim_p | JulioNeto: yes. i am still at 9...124 in ff and 10 final in opera | 06:29 |
| indian_munnda | jim_p: if i reinstall GDM will it effect my applications and data. | 06:30 |
| Hilikus | would that autocomplete too? | 06:30 |
| Hilikus | as if i was actually typing /etc/init.d/... | 06:30 |
| jim_p | indian_munnda: they will close | 06:30 |
| jim_p | Hilikus: if you install sysvconfig, all you have to do is sudo service samba restart, and restarts samba | 06:31 |
| indian_munnda | jim_p: i mean if i do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-destop" will it remove any applications from my computer or i lose any data from the partition??/ | 06:31 |
| jim_p | indian_munnda: no | 06:32 |
| indian_munnda | jim_p: ok then i am trying that now to make my graphica ok | 06:32 |
| jim_p | ok | 06:32 |
| Kr0ntab | Hilikus, no.. autocomplete would not work without some additional configuration and bash autocomplete settings... | 06:33 |
| Hilikus | jim_p sysvconfig is an application? | 06:34 |
| jim_p | Hilikus: yes, you install it from apt | 06:34 |

| harriseldon | redwhitewald1 sudo dpkg -S /etc/share/acpi-support | 06:39 |

| jim_p | Azhi_Dahaka: ntop . its an app that shows net usage etc . not sure about the apps | 06:40 |

| chmac | Intrepid supports full disk encryption right? I think the support is in hardy already actually... | 06:42 |
| Cryptorchild | thebossut, for development i suggest using xampp | 06:42 |
| chmac | Just bought a new hard drive (500G laptop :) but I'm figuring I should wait 2 weeks... | 06:42 |
| abchirk | hm bobertdos I did that once with a free pdf viewer, cannot remember which it was. : | 06:42 |
| redwhitewald1 | harriseldon: "dpkg: /etc/share/acpi-support not found" | 06:42 |
| ryuk | whois ryuk | 06:42 |
| therealnanotube | abchirk: maybe try xpdf? not sure if it can do more than 400, though... | 06:42 |
| chmac | Reinstalling hardy now only to install intrepid in 2 weeks seems a little silly | 06:42 |
| thebossut | i am just using it for the control and making of my db's | 06:42 |
| thebossut | i am not a dev | 06:42 |
| abchirk | no xpdf can't do it too. :( | 06:42 |

This has persisted after a reboot and /etc/fstab and ntfs-3g states seem fine | 06:43 |
| jim_p | abchirk: acroread | 06:43 |
| bobertdos | chmac: Yeah, it should have crypt. I don't know if I'd be comfortable trying it with the beta, of course. | 06:43 |
| Mr_Fixit | hey guys. my server doesn't initialize the eth0 on boot... what do i add to where? | 06:44 |
| Cryptorchild | xampp are supported by most application for a web-server purpose, so yes you can setup CMS with it | 06:44 |

| abchirk | hm. :( | 06:45 |
| indian_munnda | jim_p: is there an~y command to set resolution from the CLI??? | 06:45 |
| bobertdos | fenerli7: Have you checked permissions and ownership of the main folder? | 06:45 |
| jim_p | indian_munnda: there is the xrandr app, i dont know how to use it | 06:46 |
| Cryptorchild | thebossut, another alternative if you want to do the "hard", which is actualy an easy way, search on google with keywords:apache php mysql | 06:46 |
| fenerli7 | bobertdos: to the mount point (/media/data in my case), yes, and it is mounted with the "user" option | 06:46 |
| therealnanotube | abchirk: try maybe foxit reader? it's free as in beer (but not as in speech), and is for windows (so have to use wine), but i think it can do unlimited zoom... | 06:46 |
| indian_munnda | jim_p: isn't there any other command for that | 06:47 |
| redwhitewald1 | harriseldon: ok. check this out: ~# dpkg -S /usr/share/acpi-support. I got this printout on the next line: acpi-support-base: /usr/share/acpi-support. | 06:47 |
| jim_p | indian_munnda: no. | 06:47 |
| therealnanotube | indian_munnda: what's wrong with xrandr? | 06:47 |
| fenerli7 | bobertdos: in fact, I've currently got it mounted with umask=0000 (i.e. rwx for everyone), ls -al /media/data confirms this | 06:47 |
| bobertdos | fenerli7: Knowing what it's mounted with is one thing, but checking the current ownership and permissions with ls is another thing. So have you looked at it using ls -l? | 06:47 |
| fenerli7 | bobertdos: see my last message ;) | 06:48 |
| indian_munnda | therealnanotube: i don't know how to use that | 06:48 |
| jim_p | i have to go | 06:48 |
| bobertdos | fenerli7: aha ;) | 06:48 |
| jim_p | later guys | 06:48 |
| therealnanotube | abchirk: or maybe you could edit the evince source code to change the maximum zoom... not sure why it is limited to 400, but could be just an artificial limitation... | 06:48 |
| PEAKTOP | Conky: MPD error: problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600 : Connection refused ?? | 06:48 |
| therealnanotube | indian_munnda: well, do you know how to use any others? if not, then xrandr is as good as anything. :) | 06:48 |
| redwhitewald1 | does this mean, harriseldon, that the purge worked? | 06:48 |
| indian_munnda | therealnanotube: is it a GUI application? | 06:49 |
| harriseldon | fenerli7 does running mount from the command line show that /media/data is mounted rw? | 06:49 |
| bobertdos | fenerli7: and user owns it, right? | 06:49 |
| abchirk | hm therealnanotube with xpdf I can zoom into selections..maybe I get him to zoom all. :P | 06:49 |
| Wintervenom | Aww, I don't get to use Compiz this month, either. :( | 06:49 |
| therealnanotube | indian_munnda: didn't you ask for a CLI app to change resolution? | 06:49 |
| indian_munnda | therealnanotube: yes exactly | 06:49 |
| bobertdos | fenerli7: hmm, and I assume you've tried remounting already | 06:49 |
| therealnanotube | indian_munnda: so, "man xrandr" and off you go? :) | 06:50 |
| fenerli7 | bobertdos, yep, tried rebooting, changing /etc/fstab options, re-mounting | 06:50 |
| indian_munnda | therealnanotube: ok doing it now | 06:50 |
| therealnanotube | abchirk: cool :) | 06:50 |
| harriseldon | redwhitewald1 it just means that no installed package provides that file. I am not sure about whether or not purge worked. | 06:50 |
| fenerli7 | bobertdos: what mount command should i run to show it is mounted as rw? | 06:50 |
| therealnanotube | abchirk: i do wonder though what's with the 400pct limit on evince and pals... | 06:50 |
| therealnanotube | indian_munnda: good luck :) | 06:50 |
| harriseldon | fenerli7 mount without any further options | 06:50 |
| bzaks | Is there a way to set the wlan0 as the primary when you have an eth0 on a different network set up? | 06:51 |
| Hilikus | Kr0ntab this is what i get | 06:52 |
| fenerli7 | harriseldon: cheers, it is mounted as rw, "/dev/sda5 on /media/data type fuseblk (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=512)" | 06:52 |
| Hilikus | -bash: /etc/init.d/: is a directory | 06:52 |
| abchirk | therealnanotube me too. :D | 06:52 |
| Hilikus | alias service="exec /etc/init.d/$1 $2" | 06:52 |
| frybye | re: when using e2fsck -b etc.. to restore alternative masterblock and the system says that the /sda1 is either mounted (when it is not!-) or another programme is using it exclusively-- what can one then do to proceed...? | 06:52 |
| therealnanotube | abchirk: aha: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303365 | 06:52 |
| Hilikus | i tried without exec as well | 06:52 |
| therealnanotube | abchirk: which also suggests "gpdf" | 06:52 |
| abchirk | therealnanotube ah thx. :( | 06:52 |
| matt__ | bzaks I usually edit /etc/network/interface to take eth0 out of control of network manager (explicitely define the settings) | 06:53 |
| abchirk | grml, aptitude cannot find gpdf..:( :P | 06:53 |
| bzaks | matt_: then how do I keep it utilized? | 06:53 |
| Kr0ntab | Hilikus, put alias restart='sudo /etc/init.d/$1 restart' in ~/.bashrc | 06:54 |
| harriseldon | fenerli7 if it were mounted as a specific user, there would be a uid= option. I do not see that. bobertdos is correct in verifying permissions then. | 06:54 |
| Kr0ntab | then type: ". .bashrc" in the terminal | 06:54 |
| Hilikus | Kr0ntab i dont want the alias to be sudoed | 06:54 |
| Kr0ntab | then... something like: restart ssh | 06:54 |
| Kr0ntab | you need it to be... | 06:54 |
| indian_munnda | therealnanotube: it says can't open display. | 06:55 |
| Kr0ntab | if you are to actually perform the task... you need root privileges | 06:55 |
| Hilikus | cant i do sudo <alias> ssh restart ? | 06:55 |
| Hilikus | well i want to sudo the alias myself | 06:55 |
| fenerli7 | harriseldon: yes, just noticed that... and I've also got a ntfs-3g/fuse problem when manually mounting as a non-root user | 06:55 |
| bzaks | Hilikus yes you can do that just make sure you use the correct ` apostrophe thinger | 06:55 |
| bobertdos | fenerli7: We don't mean to be second guessing you. It's just that quite often, things aren't always what they seem when it comes to those stinkin' permissions and ownership. | 06:56 |
| indian_munnda | therealnanotube: r u there??? | 06:56 |
| fenerli7 | bobertdos: indeed | 06:56 |
| bzaks | matt__: how do I keep my eth0 utilized and running? Do I need to activate it using ifconfig in my .profile or something? | 06:56 |
| Hilikus | Kr0ntab which one should it be? with ' it gives me the error i told you | 06:56 |
| Hilikus | -bash: /etc/init.d/: is a directory | 06:57 |
| fenerli7 | ok, i now have a point to google from, thanks bobertdos and harriseldon, if you're curious, this was the problem: "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE | 06:57 |
| fenerli7 | library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated | 06:57 |
| fenerli7 | FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at | 06:57 |

| Hilikus | its just trying to run the directory path | 06:57 |
| fenerli7 | sorry for flood, it wasn't supposed to paste like that :p | 06:57 |
| harriseldon | bzaks do you want to direct certain traffic to eth0 and certain traffic to wlan0? That has to do with the route table. | 06:57 |

| wartalker | if i compile the kernel 2.6.27, should i do something for my nvidia vidio card GM8600? | 06:57 |

| fenerli7 | wartalker: how did you install your NVidia driver? | 06:58 |
| Kartagis | I guess i made a typo in /etc/sudoers and now I can't sudo. how to fix it? | 06:58 |
| wartalker | fenerli7:in ubuntu 2.6.24, i use envyng | 06:58 |
| redwhitewald1 | when on my desktop, i run commands via ssh, it seems that the client laptop doesn't immediately reflect the command i ran. do i always have to reboot? | 06:58 |
| harriseldon | wartalker if you are using the free software driver, you do not need to do anything different. | 06:58 |
| bzaks | harriseldon: Yeah, I want my standard internet traffic to go to 192.168.1.1 (through my wlan0) and my private network traffic to go through 10.1.2.x (dhcp), of course, I don't want to have to play with anything... is there a way to just set it up? I have VMs in virtual box with multiple interfaces and it seems to just work | 06:58 |
| wartalker | what mean ? free software driver | 06:59 |
| fenerli7 | wartalker: you're not using the free driver, don't worry | 06:59 |
| harriseldon | wartalker (not the restricted driver) | 06:59 |
| wartalker | harriseldon:GM8600 GT | 06:59 |
| fenerli7 | wartalker: to be sure, I would uninstall and reinstall the nvidia driver through envyng after upgrading the kernel | 06:59 |
| harriseldon | bzaks look up online about routing tables (specific command is route) | 07:00 |
| wartalker | fenerli7: if i reboot to 2.26.24, does it work? | 07:00 |
| Kr0ntab | Hilikus, $1 represents the first variable you pass... so... in the command "restart ssh" ssh is $1. that simply means /etct/init.d/ssh will be referenced. | 07:00 |
| matt__ | bzaks: click on NetworkManager, goto manual config, and change the ethernet interface from "roaming mode" to dhcp or static | 07:00 |

| Tazbobu | getting really frustrated with nvidia drivers... when ubuntu is booting the screen with the loading bar is in hires... then it says it can't detect the proper video driver and I have to change it every time i boot.. but it never recognizes the correct driver or resolution... the 'hardware driver' deselects every time I boot up.. i turn it on and reboot and the same thing happens again and again | 07:04 |
| rena | hello | 07:05 |
| hyundoj | hi | 07:05 |
| fenerli7 | Tazbobu: have you got an xorg.conf set up? also, you might want to go to #nvidia | 07:05 |
| PoisonArrow | harriseldon, wouldnt I just need the header-files for driver support? | 07:05 |
| rena | ñäåñÿ ÐÓÑÑÊÈÅ åñòü? | 07:05 |
| harriseldon | PoisonArrow if you want to only compile your own drivers into the current kernel, yes | 07:05 |
| fenerli7 | hyundoj: access is one of the worst pieces of crap I have ever experienced, stay away from it. having said that, what is the problem with Access for you? | 07:05 |

| PoisonArrow | harriseldon, ok thanks, are there 2.6.27 kernel headers available? | 07:07 |
| jeeves_Moss | how's it going over therE? | 07:07 |
| indian_munnda | Flannel: can uhelp me with graphics? | 07:07 |
| fenerli7 | hyundoj: I'm afraid I'm not sure what the reason would be. Can you try open it through a terminal and see if there any errors? | 07:07 |
| harriseldon | PoisonArrow by default the headers will be for your current kernel if through the repos | 07:07 |
| bobertdos | indian_munnda: Could you explain some details of the problem, please? | 07:08 |
| harriseldon | jeeves_Moss depends on what you want to run in the "GUI" | 07:08 |
| harriseldon | jeeves_Moss you can always install just x, but very few gui apps depend on just x. | 07:08 |

| PoisonArrow | where my I find Ubuntus linux-headers-2.6.27-5-generic for download? | 07:10 |
| harriseldon | jeeves_Moss just do not install any of the meta packages like gnome-desktop or kde-desktop. If you install an app that requires gtk or qt libraries, just those libraries will be installed. | 07:10 |

| bobertdos | indian_munnda: sounds like your drivers are corrupted or improperly installed. Was your display working properly at any point? | 07:12 |
| fenerli7 | On gnome, I cannot switch focus to a window by clicking on it, i have to alt-tab or use the window list on the panel. Why might this be? This issue comes and goes and a X restart fixes it but I'd like to know why this happens. | 07:13 |

| PoisonArrow | harriseldon, why would I only need the header files to compile a driver? | 07:13 |
| indian_munnda | bobertdos: yesterday i installed ati and envy and when i rebooted my machine after that the graphics were corrupted. Before that display was working fine | 07:14 |

| harriseldon | PoisonArrow the driver code will reference c header files in order to call kernel functions. It will not reference the actual implementation of the headers, the code itself. | 07:14 |

| chmac | dulak: Ok, so on his machine `ps aux | grep sshd | wc -l` returns 1 :( | 07:47 |
| Wapples | anyone know of any new web dev sites like Heroku or assembla? | 07:47 |
| chmac | dulak: `sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart` returns nothing | 07:47 |
| dulak | chmac: ok, have your buddy shutdown sshd, then run it manually in test mod,: /usr/sbin/sshd -t | 07:47 |
| chmac | dulak: He's having weird problems with his machine, I'm trying to get onto it so I can help... | 07:47 |
| dulak | chmac: see if that pops any errors | 07:47 |
| cishpix | transcendo: u can run "df -h" to check it | 07:47 |
| transcendo | yes but if you label a pendrive 'data' and insert it... it mounts as /media/data | 07:48 |
| chmac | dulak: I think the problem is somewhere else. If he runs `sudo su -` it doesn't su to root, but it doesn't produce an error either | 07:48 |

Slowly but surely I've got almost everything working, and it may seem minor, but I can't seem to figure out how to be able to play the movie trailers on apple movie trailers.

| chmac | dulak: I was getting "debug1: Connection established." in the debug output which confused me. I forget ubuntu doesn't include an ssh server by default. | 07:55 |

| chmac | dulak: He does have X I think, excellent suggestion, I'll try synaptic | 08:00 |
| Flannel | balz: doesn't look like it, at least not on freenode. http://www.webmin.com/community.html has a few ways to get in touch though it seems. | 08:00 |
| dulak | annie_g: you can do that stuff but it's all based on the command line you use to run it, there are a lot of terminals out there | 08:01 |
| annie_g | dulak: Seems like one I was thinking of with certain key commands - would pop down from top of screen ready to use - it was pretty cool... | 08:01 |
| annie_g | dulak: ok thanks a bunch | 08:01 |
| chmac | dulak: He's borked his permissions on his main user account somehow. Hopefully the data is still there in his homedir. | 08:01 |
| LSD|Ninja | annie_g: tilda or yakuake(sp) m,ay be what you're thinking of | 08:01 |

| LSD|Ninja | annie_g: they both do the drop down FPS-style console thing | 08:02 |
| balz | Flannel: okay thanks much! | 08:02 |
| airtonix | annie_g, its called yakuake becuase its inspired by the quake1-3 type console available in the game...and its method of appearing when using a hotkey | 08:05 |
| annie_g | LSD|Ninja: Will install these and see if what I'm looking - Thanks much. | 08:05 |
| dulak | Guake is prettier for gnome | 08:05 |
| airtonix | dulak, yeah i think yakuake is using qt libs hence aimed more for kde | 08:05 |
| annie_g | airtonix: Will try Yakuake 1st - Thanks! | 08:06 |
| chmac | dulak: Ok, so turns out he's running as an unprivileged user because he's using his guest account and doesn't know his root password. :( :( :( | 08:06 |
| airtonix | annie_g, if you are in kde that would be good but its fairly identical to tilda | 08:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | chmac: there's no root password on ubuntu since the root account is disabvled? | 08:06 |
| dulak | chmac: root is disabled on ubuntu | 08:06 |
| dulak | chmac: and his guest password probably doesn't have sudo access | 08:07 |

| === ntinos_ is now known as ntinoulis | ||
| dulak | chmac: then he should have sudo access from that account to install the openssh-server package and let you in | 08:09 |
| airtonix | annie_g, then try tilda first, since installing yakuake will install libs that you will only use for one program | 08:09 |
| chmac | dulak: I'm trying that now, here's hoping... :) | 08:09 |
| dulak | annie_g: try guake instead, it's gnome version of tilda | 08:09 |

| airtonix | tyberion, yes, have you tired using the ccsm? | 08:16 |
| annie_g | airtonix: zenity? haven't used that yet? Will look up on google. | 08:16 |
| airtonix | tried* | 08:16 |

| arooni | xitherun, but i tired; there is an error message | 08:17 |
| tyberion | airtonix: heh, thought so, Im wondering why no one is using those >( | 08:17 |
| xitherun | arooni, what's the error? I've used VLC for DVDs before | 08:18 |

| airtonix | arooni, i also had a look at the properties of the dvd via the icon on the desktop with right click-> properties and inside the permissions tab it says : the persmissions of cdrom0 could not be determined....so there is a way to tell which /dev/ device is your dvd :) | 08:27 |

| fenerli7 | airtonix: don't know, don't care :p | 08:44 |
| fenerli7 | xitherun: he wants to know how they are "blocked" | 08:44 |
| scent | whenever i have tried it it just didnt do what i wanted and wasnt that great | 08:44 |
| sia-eXtreme | scent: download supergrub live cd | 08:44 |
| bronzewalla84 | can any help me with setting up my intel x3100 graphics card in hardy? | 08:44 |
| airtonix | fenerli7, well there is a difference between blocking adds or files from url maks from being used on a webpage and preventing the calls to download them in order to use them. | 08:44 |
| airtonix | masks* | 08:45 |
| Flannel | bronzewalla84: what makes you think it needs setting up? | 08:45 |
| scent | cant sia-eXtreme you cant burn while on the live cd | 08:45 |
| bronzewalla84 | i can view the desktop if i connect an external monitor, but my laptop monitor is white with vertical lines | 08:45 |
| xitherun | airtonix, if I get your meaning, it blocks them at their source, so they don't show up, nor do they get loaded | 08:45 |
| scent | grub-install makes stage1 actually, and then it complains it cant read it | 08:45 |
| sia-eXtreme | what about boot from usb ? | 08:45 |
| Flannel | scent: What happens when you boot? | 08:45 |
| scent | i forget the error but it is a stage 1.5 one | 08:46 |
| aion | hello everyone, how can I disable warning about new windows modes when I am booting with new splash screen? (ubuntu 8.04) | 08:46 |
| scent | i just had trouble with corruption on my last 1st partition on this drive though and it booted once fine | 08:46 |
| Flannel | scent: Then its not stage1 thats the issue. The issue is your stage1 isn't looking for stage 1.5 (or stage 2) in the right place. | 08:46 |
| fenerli7 | airtonix: I know, but I think you have me confused with someone else, I never started any discussion about ad blocking | 08:46 |
| scent | nono, that was just once | 08:46 |
| airtonix | fenerli7, i dont have you confused....i know exactly what was said and im throwing hte comment at you ... | 08:47 |
| scent | stage 1 is stored in the mbr, just a copy on the filesystem | 08:47 |
| scent | stage 1.5 is read of the partition | 08:47 |
| airtonix | fenerli7, -annoying-grin- | 08:47 |
| scent | not stage 1 | 08:47 |
| bronzewalla84 | anyone know how to install the driver for an intel x3100? | 08:47 |
| Flannel | scent: Please give us the actual error, we can't help you otherwise. | 08:47 |
| fenerli7 | airtonix: ok, maybe I'm just confused because you are telling me things I already know and/or have no interest of ;) | 08:48 |
| scent | just tell me how i cant check for corruption on my whole disk | 08:48 |
| Flannel | bronzewalla84: Its aleady installed. If you want to verify that it is, make sure xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed | 08:48 |
| fenerli7 | scent: how you can or can't? | 08:48 |
| bronzewalla84 | it is | 08:48 |
| Flannel | scent: Tell you how to do *what*? | 08:48 |
| scent | grub itsself doesnt really cause trouble usually | 08:48 |
| fenerli7 | scent: fsck | 08:48 |
| airtonix | fenerli7, then why did you comment about using the most convinent adblocking methods? | 08:48 |
| scent | i did fsck, but that only checks partitions | 08:48 |
| fenerli7 | airtonix someone wanted to know what the diff b/w adblock and adblock plus is | 08:48 |
| bronzewalla84 | so what would be keeping it from loading | 08:49 |
| sia-eXtreme | scent: fsck | 08:49 |
| sia-eXtreme | testdisk ? | 08:49 |
| scent | not superblocks and mbr and stuff where i think the trouble is | 08:49 |
| fenerli7 | scent: well, do it for all partitions? | 08:49 |
| aion | How can I disable warning about new windows modes when I am booting with new splash screen? (ubuntu 8.04) | 08:49 |
| fenerli7 | aion what do you mean by windows modes? | 08:49 |
| aion | fenerli7, the default resolution for splash is 800*600, when I changed it to 1024*768, grub told that its unsafe to boot with "new window modes" and each time I need to press spacebar to skip this warning | 08:50 |
| aion | *srry for my english | 08:51 |
| fenerli7 | aion what graphics card do you have | 08:51 |
| DArtagnon1234 | I hope this is the right place to bring this problem, if not just point the way and I'll be on it. A friend of mine wanted me to help him repartition his harddrive so that he could move his files safely to a 2nd partition and reinstall WinXP on his 1st. | 08:51 |

| fenerli7 | aion: have you got the ATI drivers installed? | 08:52 |
| aion | of course | 08:52 |
| DArtagnon1234 | I took advantage of the situation and decided to use the Kubuntu 8.04 installer to chop his drive into partitions and install Kubuntu on one of them | 08:52 |
| aion | mm, I am talking about boot process, when grub starts | 08:52 |

| aion | any ideas then? | 08:54 |
| DArtagnon1234 | It worked well, the computer boots to kubuntu no problem, and I can read/write the FAT32 partition I set up to share between linux and windows. When I tried to install WinXP again the setup program froze on me. | 08:55 |
| DArtagnon1234 | I tried to install from my old win 98 cd, figuring I might be able to just install it and upgrade later, but it gave me an error accusing me of bad partitions (if needed, I can duplicate the error message.) I rebooted to kubu and ran Parted | 08:56 |

| fenerli7 | yes | 09:08 |
| fenerli7 | although, that was too long to read, that would be better off in the forum | 09:08 |
| DArtagnon1234 | yeah, I'm just trying to get an immediate response because I'm trying to figure this out tonight | 09:09 |
| fenerli7 | DArtagnon1234: ok, I had a look, it seems very similar to a problem I had a few months ago, it seems Windows doesn't like some partition setups | 09:09 |
| fenerli7 | when it freezes, does it stay on a black screen? | 09:09 |

| JonathanEllis | Hi, I am confused. I have just mounted an extra partition into an empty directory in my home directory to give me some extra space but I cant write to it. ls -la <directory name> shows http://pastebin.com/d68dafde3. Can someone help please? Also, why is there a lost+found directory on the partition | 09:20 |

| JonathanEllis | lshnu: Did you unmount the usb stick before removing it? | 09:21 |
| Ishnu- | Oh, no I didn't. | 09:21 |
| Ishnu- | I'm used to windows. | 09:21 |
| Ishnu- | Just pull it out. | 09:21 |
| JonathanEllis | lshnu: Otherwise the file system doesnt write all the changes as it holds some stuff in memory | 09:21 |
| IRONHIDE | whats the full pride parade | 09:21 |
| IRONHIDE | im new at this my friend | 09:21 |
| JonathanEllis | lshnu: Its a bit like in Windows you have to safely remove a usb stick by right clicking on it in the task bar | 09:22 |
| Ishnu- | Yes, but it still (usually) works. | 09:22 |
| _coredump_ | moinsen | 09:22 |
| JonathanEllis | lshnu: Anyway, you should be able to see the usgb stick on the desktop. Right click on it and select unmount before you pull out the stick. Then the file system will write all the changes | 09:23 |

| bn32 | I extended my partition and now grub comes up with a error 22 | 09:55 |
| freite | ActionParsnip: hm, but i need 2 interfaces with DHCP and only one of them should add the default gw | 09:56 |
| Safri | ActionParsnip: magnetron: but it does work for remote connection ? for example to ssh a server and let it wget and close the terminal ? | 09:56 |

| bn32 | please help? | 09:57 |
| magnetron | Safri, i run my irc client in a screen session on a ssh server :D | 09:57 |
| notdkw | Safri: ssh into the remote machine, use screen to start the session, start your wget | 09:57 |
| notdkw | Safri: then use control A + D to detach. | 09:57 |
| Oric | exit | 09:57 |
| lisa_ | fenerli7, any other ideas? | 09:57 |
| fenerli7 | lisa_: maybe it isn't installed? go into synaptic and search "network manager" | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | freite: then let 1 be set from dhcp and set one to localhost for gateway, or use a static ip on the interface to not have a gateway | 09:58 |

| fl0w | How can I edit a file, that requires me (as a sudoer) to run sudo in order to change it, through sFTP? | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | fl0w: you could download the file, then edit then upload | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | fl0w: or mount the sftp as a drive then edit it as you normally would | 10:47 |
| Agent_bob | fl0w why not over ssh | 10:48 |
| fl0w | Agent_bob: because I don't like editing large and many config files through terminal (vi/less). I'm trying to use my local texteditor of choice (at mac). Maybe I could pipe it somehow? | 10:49 |

| ActionParsnip | fl0w: whats wrong with terminal editors? you are making a lot of unnecessary work for yourself | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | macvr: try changing sound engine to ALSA or pulse based on what its already set to | 10:50 |
| ziroday | fl0w: you can try use nano, its a very simple command line editor (much easier then vi) | 10:50 |
| Agent_bob | fl0w if you don't like vim (you are not alone) don't use it. but there are many console based editors. | 10:51 |
| fl0w | ziroday: it's not about easy, because I can edit and navigate using vi, I was just wondering if there's a known/common solution. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | fl0w: you can mount s/ftp in linux and access it like your local files | 10:52 |

| magnetron | nnull, divx is a subset of mpeg4 | 11:02 |
| ikonia | noctmz script it | 11:02 |
| nnull | ah k | 11:02 |
| ikonia | noctmzor use a central repo like ldap for auth | 11:02 |
| nnull | so if my dvd player plays divx, it will probably play .mp4? | 11:02 |
| noctmz | thinking of acripting it but donno where to put this or grab adduser vars username/password | 11:03 |
| Agent_bob | noctmz shell wrapper for adduser command ? | 11:03 |
| ikonia | noctmz should be quite straight forward, maybe easier to use something like ldap if you want unix/apache/mysql logins to be shared | 11:03 |
| quink___ | nnul probably will play .mp4, but depends on the device. | 11:03 |

| bhavya | you were very much helpful | 11:13 |
| Agent_bob | Lykkefeen install ubuntu-desktop | 11:13 |

| alarm | 2.5 core duo 4gb ram | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | alarm: ok cool | 11:14 |
| alarm | ikonia, true, but why is that big change ? i mean the same system, with and without splash,quiet options have a difference in booting like over 4-5 minutes. | 11:14 |
| alarm | thought that those options are to be seen or hide information and nothing more | 11:15 |
| ryuk | test | 11:15 |
| ikonia | alarm oh you mean the splash screen makes teh difference, | 11:15 |
| bhavya | #ubuntu | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | alarm: not sure really. id check what the options actually do, maybe it'll let you know | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | alarm: weird one though dude | 11:15 |
| ikonia | alarm things like frambuffer support for your video card can make a difference | 11:15 |
| alarm | ActionParsnip, the remove the progress bar while loading | 11:15 |
| ikonia | (just an easy example) | 11:15 |
| Lykkefeen | ikonia: Have you any idea of what mistake it could have been, I'm totally blank... I unchecked the box with LAMP-server, and hit enter - is there anything tricky in tasksel? | 11:15 |
| alarm | ikonia, yes, with the progress bar everything goes smooth and fast, without it , it takes too long | 11:15 |
| quink___ | @ikonia, alarm what about bootchart? | 11:16 |
| madsj | how do I get makedev to add my cdrom-drive ? I run Ubuntu, and the fact that it's not recognizing the cdrom (samsung, don't know what type, laptop) is driving me insane! | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Lykkefeen I don't know, you said you whre tired | 11:16 |
| alarm | quink___, whats that ? | 11:16 |
| Agent_bob | alarm splash and vga= can both affect kernel frame buffering which in turn can affect acpi | 11:16 |
| quink___ | @alarm http://www.bootchart.org/samples.html | 11:16 |
| === rux is now known as ahiga | ||
| dns53 | madsj run sudo fdisk -l to see all avalable partitions, perhaps it is not seeing it as a cd but knows the device is there | 11:17 |
| quink___ | @alarm Since, with splash, you don't know what's going on except for going into syslog later, bootchart can reveal a few things too | 11:17 |
| alarm | i see so, removing splash can effect on the system | 11:17 |
| Agent_bob | alarm yes | 11:17 |
| orly_owl | IS there a way to change the default keyboard layout on the live CD? | 11:17 |
| alarm | quink___, that was the meaning for me removing splash , to see whats going on and where the system was hanging (which was on "Preparing restricted drivers" | 11:17 |
| madsj | dns53, it lists the HDD-partitions I made, but not the cdrom-device | 11:18 |
| alarm | after installing the new kernel seemed to work pretty smooth actually (while using the splash) | 11:18 |
| Lykkefeen | ikonia: Sorry I didn't write it that clear, what I meant by "tired" was that I installed all the LAMP components first seperately before I realised how tedious that was, so then I installed it using tasksel instead :) No sleeping in taskel :D | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Lykkefeen still most likley user error, but I don't know tasksel much as I use synaptic | 11:19 |
| alarm | all that information shown during the boot , are on stored on dmesg , kernel.log ? or where ? | 11:19 |
| Agent_bob | alarm up to the strtup scripts, dmesg | 11:20 |
| madsj | running /dev/MAKEDEV sda didn't make me happier either | 11:20 |
| alarm | okie | 11:20 |
| Agent_bob | alarm the output of the init scripts is not logged unless they do it internally. i.e. it's up to the script to log it's output. | 11:20 |
| dli_ | madsj, you should have udev, no need for MAKEDEV | 11:20 |
| alarm | okie, got it :) | 11:21 |
| alarm | is it worth to add such a bootchart and see whats going on ? | 11:21 |
| scientes___ | anybody know thename of the sans and sans-serif font in ubuntu they are awesome | 11:21 |
| Agent_bob | alarm might be easier to just disable gdm on startup then you can study the output from the console. shift+pgup works until you switch tty's | 11:23 |

| benedikt_ | I will take a acronsi image, and im leanin to making a simple bash script ot set the hostname and join the directory. | 11:27 |
| dns53 | passive1 intrepid does have that version, wait a few weeks | 11:27 |

| benedikt_ | ActionParsnip: I use acronis, it practily does the same.

Im looking for something like sysprep in windows, that ill just prompt me for hostname when i have deployed the image and stated the computer | 11:30 |
| paul68 | benedikt_: or you could use netinstall however I'm not familiar with this | 11:31 |

| airtonix | its such a pain in the ass getting firefox to honour bandwidth shaping rules set with trickled or trickle | 12:00 |
| shantanu | when you boot up just press escape to go to the boot loader | 12:00 |
| shantanu | then you might see the various kernel versions into which you can login | 12:01 |
| shantanu | select lowest one | 12:01 |
| shantanu | see if things work in that case | 12:01 |
| marklar | and if that fixes it then what should I do to prevent that happening in the future? | 12:01 |
| shantanu | if they do then you just need to recompile your drivers into the newest kernel | 12:02 |
| shantanu | in grub.conf you can either set the older kernel as the default boot choice | 12:02 |
| marklar | okay, let me see what that does and I will be back to find out how to recompile to new kernel | 12:02 |
| shantanu | sure | 12:02 |

| A|}EEL | jrib do i need to take backup and format F drive before installing ubuntu in it as i have heard the data will be lost | 12:36 |
| jerryz | jrib, so to solve the problem, change the folder access right in the properties of the folder, via nautilus (open as root) | 12:36 |

| jrib | A|}EEL: everything on F will definitely be lost. The ubuntu installer will do the formatting. I'd have backups of everything on your computer (including from C) to be safe (you should have them anyway) | 12:37 |
| |J|A|C|K| | hm | 12:37 |

| jrib | A|}EEL: in the ubuntu isntaller, things will not be called C and F. You need to make sure you choose the right partition then | 12:39 |
| A|}EEL | 1 last question should i delete the partion F which is 18GB and make it again with 10GB so that ubuntu can trace the remaining 8gb and install in it ? is this possible? | 12:40 |

| AdvoWork | hi there, standard install of ubuntu, i think i pressed a key or something, taskbar etc has gone black, how can i reset? tried themes, dont think its that :s | 12:41 |
| jrib | A|}EEL: you could do that if you want. Then you'd have a partition C for windows, your 10GB partition F, and ubuntu installed in its own partition on the remaining 8GB | 12:41 |
| Zta | I want inotify-tools installed on Feisty, but it seems I need to install some backported versions? Is there a repos I can add to handle dependencies? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/i386/inotify-tools/3.11-1ubuntu1~feisty1 | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | A|}EEL: yes id unallocate it, then you can tell the installer to use the largest unallocated space, you will be safe then | 12:41 |

| LjL^ | jrib: no... the description says "indica se l'utente è autorizzato a sospendere il computer" (leaving untranslated just to show i don't very much trust the translations in principle), so it sounds like there's another check somewhere else that says whether the computer is *able* to suspend in the first place... | 13:00 |

| Akhanu` | sluimers: The cmos reset might have changed the order of detection for those or anything. For me certain things in the bios are twilight zone. | 13:08 |
| ntemis | hello | 13:08 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Why do i need Avahi for? Can i turn it off? | 13:08 |
| darksifer | can someone help install gtk+ | 13:08 |
| darksifer | plz | 13:08 |
| ntemis | can i burn xbox360 iso games with brasero 0.8.2? | 13:08 |
| sluimers | Okay, well I could swear I've tried this yesterday and didn't get any sound at all | 13:09 |
| ntemis | is there any utility that do this? | 13:09 |
| sluimers | from either of them | 13:09 |
| jrib | LjL^: maybe if you 'gnome-session-save --kill', you'll get some output. It shouldn't log you out. It should be the same as what happens when you hit quit | 13:09 |
| === mph is now known as morphy | ||
| Akhanu` | ntemis: you can burn anything you like with brasero just as you can do the same with NeroBurning | 13:09 |
| jrib | darksifer: you already have gtk+ | 13:09 |
| r0ach | ntemis: I used to burn PS2 disks in Brasero. Don't know about XBox though | 13:09 |
| sluimers | oh well, thanks for your help Akhanu` | 13:10 |
| ham | h4wk0>why, but i must customize my kernel linux | 13:10 |
| airtonix | LjL^, first...is your system bios using apm or acpi? | 13:10 |
| LjL^ | airtonix, do you have anything specific in mind? i searched launchpad bugs for "standby" and "suspend" but i mostly get a lot of cruft | 13:10 |
| Akhanu` | ntemis: You just need to think of the copy protection things. | 13:10 |

| ntemis | akhanu` i need to burn xbox360 specific support | 13:10 |
| ntemis | because of the layer break | 13:11 |
| LjL^ | airtonix: i don't know about that. if that's relevant to how ubuntu decides whether or not to enable suspend, though, i'll go and check | 13:11 |
| LjL^ | this is not my own computer, so i'm not especially familiar with it or know what's set in the BIOS | 13:11 |
| darksifer | ok | 13:11 |
| Akhanu` | ntemis: I'd google around for any forums that discuss this topic then. I doubt you'll find many here who have a speciffic experience as you require. | 13:12 |
| r0ach | Pls Pls guys, help me out. Here's the question : | 13:12 |
| r0ach | Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu and then after that, installed Windows. So, obviously MBR suppressed Grub and Linux. I re-enabled Grub as usual from a live disk. I did an entry in menu.lst to include Windows. But now, when I take Windows, its says "Invalid Drive" or something. What should I do ? | 13:12 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | No Ideas about Avahi? | 13:12 |
| magnetron | !grub | r0ach | 13:12 |
| ubottu | r0ach: 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 | 13:12 |
| airtonix | LjL^, With ubuntu hardy, the systems hibernate/suspend behaviour is dictated by this file : /etc/hibernate/common.conf | 13:12 |
| ham | what does the ubuntu add in linux kernel? | 13:12 |
| magnetron | Azhi_Dahaka, are you asking what avahi is? | 13:12 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Well... kinda | 13:13 |
| r0ach | ubottu: Not about losing Grub. I can't make Grub to book my Windows installation | 13:13 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:13 |
| LjL^ | airtonix: i don't have an /etc/hibernate directory | 13:13 |
| Akhanu` | ham: I don't know for sure but not much I'd think, if not nothing at all. | 13:13 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | i read the man page, but i don't know if i nee it | 13:13 |
| divinesoul | hi ppl i have aproblem with my sound | 13:13 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | :S | 13:13 |
| divinesoul | could someone help me out | 13:13 |
| darksifer | how do i open gtk+ then? | 13:13 |
| r0ach | How do I find which (hdx, y) contains my Windows ? | 13:14 |
| airtonix | LjL, is the system in question running ubuntu hardy? | 13:14 |
| LjL^ | airtonix, yes | 13:14 |
| LjL^ | airtonix: a fresh install, too | 13:14 |
| r0ach | Come on guys, I posted the condensed version of the question. Pls pls pls | 13:15 |
| airtonix | LjL, i just ran : locate hibernate | 13:15 |
| divinesoul | guy the sound problem is making me feel very uncomfortable could someone help me with that | 13:15 |
| ham | Akhanu,in general, every linux distribution add what in kernel? | 13:15 |
| LjL^ | airtonix: i only have hibernate-related files in /etc/acpi, and a pm-hibernate in /usr/sbin | 13:15 |
| airtonix | LjL, and this is the results : http://paste2.org/552868 | 13:15 |
| comicinker1 | r0ach: sudo fdisk -l | 13:15 |
| r0ach | Why is everyone ignoring me ? :'( | 13:15 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | ok, do i need the bluetooth service if I use a dongle from time to time> | 13:15 |
| r0ach | comicinker1: That returns the "sdax" stuff | 13:16 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS | 13:16 |
| magnetron | Azhi_Dahaka, if you want to use the dongle, yes | 13:16 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | or is the dongle handled by something else? | 13:16 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | hmm | 13:16 |
| LjL^ | airtonix: maybe yours is an upgrade from an older version and that file isn't used anymore in a fresh hardy? | 13:16 |
| r0ach | comicinker1: You need the (hdx, y) right ? | 13:16 |
| airtonix | LjL, has the hibernate package been installed? | 13:16 |
| magnetron | !who | Azhi_Dahaka | 13:16 |
| ubottu | Azhi_Dahaka: 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 :) | 13:16 |
| r0ach | Akhanu: I'll try it out right now | 13:16 |
| airtonix | LjL, i never upgrade | 13:16 |
| comicinker1 | r0ach: yes | 13:16 |
| airtonix | LjL, upgrades are a sure way to a messy system | 13:17 |
| comicinker1 | r0ach: it is something linke /dev/hdb1 | 13:17 |
| LjL^ | airtonix, uhm no, it's not installed. but is it needed? hibernate itself works, just suspend doesn't. i thought the hibernate package was "legacy" (it's even in universe) | 13:17 |
| r0ach | comicinker1: I know. But how do I know which one contains my Windows ? | 13:17 |
| r0ach | comicinker1: I tried (hd0,0) | 13:18 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: did you run the previous ? | 13:18 |
| LjL^ | airtonix: anyway do you say it's worth to reboot, go to the BIOS and change APM to ACPI or vice versa? | 13:18 |
| crazy_bus | I installed ibex clean over but with a seperate home drive with kubuntu 3.5 hardy. Now Places Homefolder.......desktop etc won't load and say Failed to execute child process "kfmclient" (No such file or directory) Is there anything I can do to change it and use naut? | 13:18 |
| hausha | Anyone know if VLC by default is built with -enable-pvr and x264 ? | 13:18 |
| airtonix | LjL, only problem i had with hibernate/suspend/resume was that sound did not work when returning | 13:18 |
| r0ach | Akhanu`: Yes man. It gave me the "sda" of my windows drive | 13:18 |
| comicinker1 | read post from Akhanu` or post the output somewhere | 13:18 |
| LjL^ | airtonix: ah yes, i've had that with Sound Blaster cards previously | 13:18 |
| r0ach | Akhanu`: But I need the (hdx, y) thingy | 13:18 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: sda?(number) | 13:18 |
| r0ach | Akhanu`: Its /dev/sda1 | 13:19 |
| divinesoul | guys i need help in fixing up my sound | 13:19 |
| airtonix | LjL, i think that installing that package gave me those conf files which allowed me to create a script to shutdown alsa before hiberantion and turn it on again when resuming | 13:19 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | hmm... what on earth is gdomap supposed to do? i just read the man page and have no idea what it does :/ | 13:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | divinesoul: describe your problem exactly please | 13:19 |
| Spudz_ | r0ach: On my Ubuntu CD there was a Disk Management utility, that showed me all the partitions and their filesystems and sizes graphically. But now I've installed ubuntu, it's gone :( | 13:20 |
| LjL^ | i'll have a quick reboot | 13:20 |
| divinesoul | i update the kernel from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-21 now i have lost my sound | 13:20 |
| divinesoul | i do not get any sound output at all | 13:20 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: (hd0,0) I'd think. | 13:20 |
| r0ach | Spudz_: Isn't it a live disk ? And, are u talking about GParted ? | 13:20 |
| r0ach | Akhanu`: No luck man. :) | 13:21 |
| LjL^ | divinesoul: there was a fellow with the same problem in #kubuntu, they've left now, but just to let you know... perhaps it's actually a bug | 13:21 |
| airtonix | LjL^, my board was also created by foxconn like most peoples so when i hibernate/suspend then resume...the system locks up when trying to restart or shutdown at that point | 13:21 |
| === Angar is now known as xhunter | ||
| r0ach | Akhanu`: Sorry that smiley was meant to be :( | 13:21 |
| simon1245 | Hi all | 13:21 |
| divinesoul | so whats the solution | 13:21 |
| manitwo0 | Hey leutz | 13:21 |
| airtonix | LjL^, this is due to the way the bios delivers its capabilities to any OS that identifies itself as linux | 13:21 |
| simon1245 | Are compiz better then beryl? | 13:21 |
| jrib | !beryl | simon1245 | 13:22 |
| ubottu | simon1245: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 13:22 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: You can try with several (hdX,0) combinations though. The last 0 is a 0 because it's partition "1" you said it was the number at sda1 | 13:22 |
| xhunter | Hello | 13:22 |
| r0ach | Akhanu`: Just curious. But, what does diff hdx mean ? I mean, does it mean diff hard drives ? | 13:23 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: have you tried to see and change the (hdX,0) parameter inline ? | 13:23 |
| simon1245 | Ok | 13:23 |
| simon1245 | Can i use both on same computer? | 13:23 |
| jrib | simon1245: both what? | 13:23 |
| nyu_ | I have a problem... when I click the quit button no menu appears but my panels disappear (;.;) can someone tell me how to fix this? | 13:23 |
| simon1245 | Compiz and beryl? | 13:23 |
| r0ach | Akhanu`: You mean like, in the Grub screen, I press e and edit the line and press | 13:23 |
| JonathanEllis | Can anyone help me with japa? I get lots of xrun errors. I have shown the output here http://pastebin.com/d1b68b934 | 13:23 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: to diff hard drives? I can't think of anything else but see if they are identical or not. That can hardly be true. | 13:23 |
| jrib | simon1245: did you read what ubottu just said? | 13:24 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: yes that one, with "e" | 13:24 |

| r0ach | Akhanu`: I'll try it out. But this is weird man. Cuz my linux is (hd0,5) | 13:24 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Beryl is no more | 13:24 |
| simon1245 | I have compiz on this computer now | 13:24 |
| jrib | simon1245: there is no more beryl. there is no more compiz. Now there is just compiz-fusion | 13:24 |
| Akhanu` | r0ach: well, do you have a different /boot partition ? | 13:25 |
| simon1245 | Is it possible to download Beryl | 13:25 |
| jrib | ... | 13:25 |
| r0ach | Akhanu`: I tried (hd0,0), (hd0,1), (hd0,3) etc upto (hd0,6) | 13:25 |
| DIFH-iceroot | simon1245: you mean compiz | 13:25 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | simon1245: you don't need beryl | 13:25 |
| simon1245 | Yea | 13:25 |
| Dextorion | simon1245, if you have fusion you already have beryl. | 13:25 |

| Akhanu` | r0ach: what does /boot/grub/menu.lst say about it? Where does that reffer to for the Linux partition ? | 13:30 |

| Akhanu` | (it*) | 13:31 |
| simon1245 | No its no check or something | 13:31 |

| LjL^ | jrib: this happens http://paste.ubuntu.com/58329/ - anyway, i've also tried echoing "standby" to /sys/power/state, and that, erm, sort of works. it doesn't turn off my screen (the X11 screen is left there frozen), but the computer does standby. when resuming, i need to cycle to a terminal and then back to X to get a screen. it's far from ideal, but shows that it can potentially do it... | 13:51 |
| scuser | hi all, I need to change the bindmethod in the slapd.conf file from simple to kerberos, so I wrote bindmethod=kerberos but nothing works, is that modification enough or I have to make any other changes ? | 13:51 |
| jrib | LjL^: weird, if it returns true, I would have assumed the menu item would show up | 13:51 |
| LjL^ | jrib: well, what is it returning true about? i see it returning a false, *and* a true. isn't possibly the true about hibernate, and the false about suspend? | 13:52 |
| jrib | LjL^: first one is for suspend, second one is for hibernate. dbus-monitor | grep -i -C 2 power seems to be more informative | 13:53 |
| serene | hi , i wanted to create user in ubuntu , i used the command ( useradd -m -p serene12 serene )i got an error like this Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN Unable to create serene user. | 13:53 |
| LjL^ | jrib: well then since hibernate does work, it looks "right" | 13:53 |
| serene | pls can anyone say wats wrong in this..i saw the man pages the options r correct | 13:54 |
| hateball | serene: use useradd for creating | 13:54 |
| serene | i dont know why i am not able to create | 13:54 |
| hateball | serene: errr..... adduser | 13:54 |
| LjL^ | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58330/ | 13:54 |
| SliMM | hello | 13:54 |
| ichbinesderelch | serene: ran it with sudo? | 13:54 |
| serene | yes i gave the command sudo useradd -m -p serene12 serene | 13:55 |
| SliMM | i sometime have problems with my / partition (jfs) when booting and it gets mounted as read-only, which renders x server useless | 13:55 |
| ichbinesderelch | serene: whats the secound serene for? | 13:55 |
| serene | serene12 is the password and serene is the login name | 13:56 |
| Akhanu` | serene: did you try to use "adduser" instead ? | 13:56 |
| SliMM | the only way I can fix the problem is to connect my laptop to AC | 13:56 |
| ichbinesderelch | serene: you will get promted for the password after adding the user, so leave the first serene12 | 13:56 |
| onefunk | hello all, can anyone tell me where i can find info about intalling mac osx applications in ubuntu is there a WINE type program that exists | 13:56 |
| serene | i didn't try with adduser | 13:56 |
| serene | i wil try with that | 13:57 |
| KLF__ | hi all.... im having a problem with my audio since i upgraded to hardy.... as soon as i boot it works fine but later i get no sound... does anyone know what causing this... | 13:57 |
| SliMM | is there a way to boot manually, ignoring the fact that the laptop is running on battery? | 13:57 |
| SliMM | (i. e. check hard disks & so on) | 13:57 |
| ichbinesderelch | serene: "sudo useradd -m -p serene", than promted forpassword | 13:57 |
| jrib | LjL^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58331/ | 13:57 |
| antrsk | serene, Try to add with out password then use the passwd command to creat the password | 13:58 |
| serene | no i want to run it together in a single script | 13:58 |
| jrib | LjL^: I gave you the wrong function, but you get the idea | 13:58 |
| ^AnGeL_BoY^ | :D | 13:58 |
| jrib | LjL^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58332/ | 13:58 |
| LjL^ | jrib: moment, i wass fiddling with installing swsusp which is not generating an initrd, and i can barely move the mouse due to the amount of thrashing ;) | 13:59 |
| LjL^ | jrib: uhm ok but that seems to 1) ask the power manager whether the computer can suspend 2) check the can_suspend gconf entry, no? but the problem is, why does the power manager believe my computer can't suspend to begin with | 14:01 |
| jrib | LjL^: does hibernate show up in your logout menu? | 14:02 |
| LjL^ | jrib: yes, it does, and it even works (except a few times, it doesn't because it complains the swap partition isn't big enough) | 14:02 |
| serene | adduser didn't work | 14:02 |
| serene | i wanna do it in single command line | 14:03 |
| LjL^ | jrib: that's consistent with the fact that "pmi capabilities" only returns "hibernate" | 14:03 |
| Akhanu` | serene: what error do you get if any ? | 14:03 |
| jrib | LjL^: oh, I thought they both weren't showing up. That makes sense then | 14:03 |
| serene | i gave the command sudo adduser -m -p serene12 serene | 14:03 |
| Akhanu` | serene: odd. adduser has always worked for me | 14:03 |
| ichbinesderelch | serene: "man useradd" | 14:03 |
| LjL^ | jrib: i tried this too: tina@frabox:~$ gnome-power-cmd.sh suspend Suspending Error org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.NoHardwareSupport: Suspend is not available on this computer | 14:04 |
| jrib | serene: and what output did you get? | 14:04 |
| serene | Unknown option: m | 14:04 |
| serene | unknown option:p | 14:04 |
| serene | using adduser | 14:04 |
| jrib | serene: so why are you trying to use -m and -p? | 14:04 |
| LjL^ | jrib: i'll reboot again and see if swsusp helps any (i doubt it) | 14:05 |
| ClintHexa | wizzardyesterday are you out there | 14:05 |
| serene | i wanna create user give the password for user in a sing line | 14:05 |
| serene | i want to do it in shell script | 14:05 |
| jrib | serene: read 'man adduser' and 'man useradd' | 14:05 |
| ichbinesderelch | serene: read man useradd | 14:05 |
| wizardye2terday | ClintHexa ;) | 14:05 |
| ichbinesderelch | adduser is just a link to useradd | 14:05 |
| ichbinesderelch | btw | 14:05 |
| serene | oh fine.. | 14:05 |
| jrib | ichbinesderelch: it's not | 14:06 |
| serene | but why am i getting the error even if i have used the correct command ( sudo useradd -m -p serene12 serene) | 14:06 |
| Akhanu` | serene: as far as I know, -p is an option of useradd and not adduser | 14:06 |
| ichbinesderelch | ok srsy its not ^^ | 14:06 |
| serene | yea and even -m is not option of adduser | 14:07 |
| jrib | serene: that's not the command you pasted before | 14:07 |
| stanman1 | i need serious help i think. I've messed up passwd shadow and group :( | 14:07 |
| stanman1 | when i ls -la i get uid and groups as numbers, when i sudo ls -la i can see the names why is that? | 14:07 |
| serene | someone told me to use adduser | 14:07 |
| serene | instead of useradd | 14:07 |
| serene | pls can anyone help | 14:07 |
| jrib | serene: yes, but if you do that you need to read its man page as they are different. You won't be able to use adduser non-interactively afaik | 14:07 |
| stanman1 | also if i ssh into the box (server) i get :"i have no name!" prompt | 14:08 |
| Akhanu` | serene: does adduser work when you test it just with "adduser" and no options at all? Not even a loginame, just "adduser" | 14:08 |
| divinesoul | i thought that someone will be there to guide me but at last i came to know that there is no help over here | 14:08 |
| serene | ok fine...but i dont want interactively...i am running a shell script for user and password i do have shell variables | 14:08 |
| jrib | divinesoul: no one can help you if you make remarks like that instead of asking a question. Please be patient | 14:09 |
| Akhanu` | serene: yes but one step at a time. At least you can determine if you're able to add users at all or not. | 14:09 |

| LjL | jrib: suspend is underrated anyway... the usual line is "it's so hard to implement properly, with proprietary drivers and all". but heck, i don't believe i even have any proprietary drivers on that computer, and if just echoing "standby" to /sys/power/state almost does the trick, it can't be that difficult to have it out of the box </rant> | 14:10 |

| Sarge_TJ | Hello everyone! Ok, here's the deal: I just installed Hardy on my laptop. I chose to use the restricted nVIDIA driver, since I have a GeForce 7150M. The thing is that I seem to be stuck on a refresh rate of 50 hz, and I can't choose another refresh rate because it gives me no choices. | 14:16 |
| drakim | uhm, I'm having some trouble with twinview and opengl games, is this the right place to be asking? I've never used ICR before | 14:16 |
| white_eagle | hi! how can I install lots of packages all in one folder all in once? using tab as a completition is annoying because there are 30 of them and most of them are different only in the last numbers/letters | 14:16 |
| LjL^ | jrib: it's certainly something lower level than GNOME anyway. i just tried installing kpowersave, it doesn't offer suspend either, and gives on the console: kpowersave: WARNING: Property: power_management.can_standby for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer doesn't exist. | 14:16 |
| white_eagle | is there an easier way to install all of those *at once*? | 14:16 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: how are you trying to install them | 14:16 |
| white_eagle | ikonia: sudo dpkg -i [packages] | 14:17 |
| Akhanu` | Sarge_TJ: I have the same problem and am stuck with it. It's a driver issue I think and there's not much I've done for that. | 14:17 |
| ikonia | white_eagle: just do a while lop | 14:17 |
| white_eagle | ikonia: ? | 14:17 |

| drakim | Okay, whenever I run a fullscreen opengl game with my twinview setup, the fullscreen game is centered at the right of my already right screen. I was searching for this problem on various forums, and it seems a lot of people have the issue, but absolutely nobody has a solution. Does anybody here know anything about it? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | drakim: you may have a better discussion in #nvidia as the twinview functions are part of the closed source nvidia dirver | 14:20 |
| drakim | ah, okay, thanks | 14:20 |
| titan_ | ok so my Gnome desktop has stopped working. It will load up until the desktop but then the only thing it will show is the wallpaper. Nothing else... my KDE works though... anyone have any clue what's going on? | 14:20 |
| piasdom | i have hardy now but was wondering if drake would be better to control a cnc | 14:20 |
| Akhanu` | titan_: does that happen when you login as a different user ? | 14:20 |
| ikonia | piasdom: hardy is the current release so normally the best bet | 14:20 |
| titan_ | nope, same user | 14:20 |
| titan_ | I only have 1 user | 14:20 |
| ConstantineXVI | titan_: you can try backing up and deleting .gnome, .gnome2, and .gconf | 14:20 |

| rage | Hey, I have an interesting problem Ubuntu randomly restarts, I'll be working and suddenly boom I'll be back at POST. It does not appear to be hardware related, Windows seem to work fine, the 8.04 Live CD seems to work fine, however the 8.10 Live CD dev exibits the same bevaour, so its something between 8.04 release and now that has started doing it. Any ideas where to start looking? | 14:22 |
| LjL^ | arvind_khadri, that's been reported by two people already (at least). might be a bug. | 14:23 |
| ConstantineXVI | Frijolie: system -> admin -> logon screen | 14:23 |

| pandarus | slt | 14:25 |
| Akhanu` | arvind_k: LjL^ said that. | 14:25 |
| Fzang | what's the difference between wubi and normal install, performance-wise? | 14:25 |
| joaopinto | benedikt_, yes, you would only need to twak some drivers after install, like the video driver config | 14:26 |
| ConstantineXVI | xianwen: r-click volume icon, open volume control, switches | 14:26 |
| cdi6 | pandarus est un gros con | 14:26 |
| benedikt_ | joaopinto: doesnt X11 use some sort of autoconfiguration in hardy? | 14:26 |
| n8tuser | benedikt_--> i doubt it, not on any machine | 14:26 |
| Frijolie | Fzang: I believe wubi is just to install a dual-boot Windoze/Ubuntu | 14:26 |
| Oric | Oirc: | 14:26 |

| SpinachHead | hi, does hardy have its own wireless drivers? not the ndiswrapper | 14:27 |
| Frijolie | Fzang: it just automates everything and makes it easier to uninstall after you're done with it in the Control Manager | 14:27 |
| joaopinto | benedikt_, it does, but it will not install the restricted drivers for you ;) | 14:27 |

| lucax | Solenoide, it could be the cd-r if u have another cd-r burn the .iso file at slower speed 2-4x and try again | 14:36 |
| Solenoide | i already burned it at 8x, the slowest speed my drive can handle | 14:36 |

| lucax | Solenoide, try that, or if u can try replacing the cdrom drive, that could be the other reason | 14:37 |

| SpinachHead | hi, someone said they got their wireless card to work by uninstalliig ndiswrapper and using the wirless drivers hardy herron installs. What wireless driver is installed by default? | 14:43 |
| Oric | lucax: ok,thank you for your advice | 14:43 |
| lucax | Venin, u want to install ubuntu on a pendrive? | 14:43 |
| Akhanu` | SpinachHead: that broadly depends on the wireless hardware. For me it was the Atheros drivers. | 14:44 |
| angusthefuzz | Dreamglider: you will need to get a program called bonnie++, as far as I know hdparm only tests read speed | 14:44 |
| SpinachHead | how can i check? | 14:44 |
| Dreamglider | angusthefuzz, ok thanks | 14:44 |
| Akhanu` | SpinachHead: lspci | grep reless | 14:44 |
| angusthefuzz | Dreamglider: here is the link for the program: http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ it should also be synaptic | 14:45 |
| lucax | Venin, ive try to do it editing the pendrive partitions ext3 4gb for ubuntu then the rest of the pen fat32 but windows never saw the partition | 14:45 |
| SpinachHead | i get nothing. DId ndiswrapper replace it? | 14:45 |
| Dreamglider | angusthefuzz, i found it in synaptic | 14:45 |
| Fzang | oh cmon, surely someone must know how to install a driver | 14:45 |
| Akhanu` | SpinachHead: I don't think so. Then just try "lspci" and search the output for anything wireless. | 14:46 |
| lucax | Venin, however ubuntu did... i dont really know if placing the fat32 partition on the first sector of the pen and formating it from ubuntu if windows will see that partition... | 14:46 |

| Venin | lucax: i tried making fat32 the first partition.. but windows remembered that the ext2 partition had the drive letter.. and i think there can be only one | 14:47 |
| lucax | Venin, however... i got tired of trying and didnt do it any more... but, what i would do is, since ubuntu detects everything... use the first sector of the pen for windows fat32 partition and the rest of it for ubuntu | 14:47 |
| SpinachHead | this wusb11 version 2.6 seems to be a real problem. But soeone said they got it to work by uninstalling ndiswrapper and then entering the ip address of google into firefox | 14:47 |
| LjL | Fzang: i don't believe you need that .tar.gz. i believe madwifi is present in the default restricted kernel modules, and you can install the "madwifi-tools" to set it up possibly. | 14:47 |

| _Zeus_ | Do you guys have any idea to go to the home folder of the main user on the system? | 15:09 |
| _Zeus_ | the best I've thought of so far is cd /home/[^l]* | 15:09 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: what ? | 15:09 |
| raheem | _Zeus_: it is /home/<username> | 15:10 |
| chaddy | qwertie: have you installed build-essential? | 15:10 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: cd @$user | 15:10 |
| Akhanu` | Dreamglider: I could think of a handmade test using dd | 15:10 |
| _Zeus_ | raheem: i know that | 15:10 |
| ikonia | oops | 15:10 |
| LjL | Dreamglider: well, the fact bonnie doesn't have a gui doesn't mean it can't be used :P | 15:10 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: ~$user | 15:10 |
| magnetron | _Zeus_, "cd" | 15:10 |
| _Zeus_ | ikonia: needs to work as root | 15:10 |
| Dreamglider | LjL, true true, im just not so keen with cli | 15:10 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: that works as root | 15:10 |
| _Zeus_ | ikonia: no, it doesn't | 15:10 |

| qwertie | I haven't, this is a clean instaoo of ubuntu--I am newbish | 15:11 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_ what are you on about | 15:11 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: cd ~username works with any user | 15:11 |
| scabbymadman | I have a problem with my keyboard mapping for only one user. The key generate incorrect characters. Which file do I need to look at? | 15:11 |
| _Zeus_ | ikonia: This has to work across multiple systems with different usernames | 15:11 |
| Hatsjoe` | I have a problem with my ATI Drivers, I installed everyhing and it relativly works but when I typ glxinfo in Terminal it says at Direct Rendering: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) How can i fix this? (I'm running Hardy Heron) | 15:11 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: yes, and it does | 15:11 |
| _Zeus_ | so far, I've used cd /home/*/ | 15:11 |
| _Zeus_ | ikonia: go to sudo, and echo $USER. it doesn't work | 15:12 |
| LjL | _Zeus_, how could root have a clue *which* user do you want to go to? | 15:12 |
| _Zeus_ | LjL: only user on the system | 15:12 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: your question doesn't make any sense | 15:12 |
| scabbymadman | _Zeus_, cd /home/*/ wont get you to any one folder | 15:12 |
| opticalmouse | is there any application which can detect & collect those new release printer databases? | 15:12 |
| S4nD3r | Is there any translator english->portuguese to install in gnome?? Which? | 15:12 |
| _Zeus_ | scabbymadman: it will if there is only one user | 15:12 |
| LjL | scabbymadman: why not? | 15:12 |
| LjL | _Zeus_, well then your solution seems satisfactory to me | 15:12 |

| chaddy | qwertie: you can't compile without it | 15:13 |

| magnetron | !doesn't work | Feldegast | 15:13 |
| ubottu | Feldegast: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 15:13 |

| _Zeus_ | airtonix: never do | 15:13 |
| LjL | _Zeus_: if the user you want is *logged in*, then you could check that | 15:13 |
| opticalmouse | is there any application which can detect & collect those new release printer databases? | 15:13 |
| _Zeus_ | LjL: how would I go about doing that? | 15:14 |
| scabbymadman | for me in puts me in the /home/ftp folder | 15:14 |

| scabbymadman | chaddy, but the problem is only for one of my user accounts | 15:15 |
| LjL | Feldegast: a dirty "solution" is to edit the post-removal script manually, and put a straight "exit 0" as the first line | 15:15 |
| scabbymadman | not another one so it probably not that | 15:15 |
| chaddy | scabbymadman: you may be able just to change it in the user's preferences>keyboard more simply, scabbymadman | 15:15 |
| LjL | very dirty | 15:15 |
| scabbymadman | tried that no go | 15:15 |

| Crungmungus | A real noob question as I am very confused. I have a git repo on my work machine and I want to talk a copy of the repo home each night so I can work on it and bring it back in. Do I first create a repo on my portable drive, CLONE from my original repo and then merge the two when I come in each morning? | 15:16 |
| Feldegast | LjL ty that is a good idea | 15:16 |
| rdancer | having installed postgresql, now i can't connect to the database using psql(1) -- says psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "root" | 15:16 |
| ikonia | Crungmungus: join #git | 15:16 |
| _Zeus_ | rdancer: you need to su to postgres | 15:16 |
| _Zeus_ | rdancer: i think | 15:17 |
| Crungmungus | Already have. | 15:17 |
| Crungmungus | THANKS THOUGH! | 15:17 |
| rdancer | _Zeus_: that's what i'm doing, hence 'root' | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Crungmungus: ok, they will answer your question | 15:17 |
| _Zeus_ | rdancer: root is not the same as postgres | 15:17 |
| _Zeus_ | ? | 15:17 |
| qwertie | chaddy: can I do something similar to install glib etc.? | 15:17 |
| scabbymadman | chaddy, for example when I rename the home/user folder in question the problem goes away, but so do all of my desktop settings, themes and the like...starting from scratch is a pain | 15:17 |
| Crungmungus | Doubtful. | 15:17 |
| rdancer | _Zeus_: aha, thx | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Crungmungus: it's a git question, thats what they aer there for, this channel is for ubuntu support | 15:17 |
| rdancer | _Zeus_: works, thx | 15:17 |
| chaddy | qwertie: as I understand it glib is one of the things that build-essential pulls in | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Crungmungus: and your not in #git channels now | 15:18 |
| Crungmungus | There's no harm in asking it as a general question. | 15:18 |
| raheem | Hi, i use a laptop HP 6720s. How can I stop Ubuntu 8.04 from looking for new hardwares while booting ? The hardware on my laptop is already detected & working fine. I just want it to boot faster. Anyone ? | 15:18 |
| scabbymadman | chaddy, for example when I rename the home/user folder in question the problem goes away, but so do all of my desktop settings, themes and the like...starting from scratch is a pain | 15:18 |
| Crungmungus | and yes I am. | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Crungmungus: yes there is, it's ubuntu only | 15:18 |
| _Zeus_ | rdancer: cool | 15:18 |
| Crungmungus | Okay then maybe you should go full force and start restricting our vocabulary too. | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Crungmungus: you just joined, | 15:18 |
| airtonix | lol | 15:18 |
| Crungmungus | no I didn't, I've been there for 15 minutes now. | 15:18 |

| scabbymadman | hang on chabby | 15:19 |
| qwertie | chaddy: based on aptitude's output, I'd say glib & pkg-config are not included | 15:20 |

| r0ach | Pls pls help guys | 15:21 |
| scabbymadman | ciao | 15:21 |
| r0ach | It downloaded it for 17 friggin hrs and lost it :( | 15:21 |
| * chaos1 has been a bad boy. lol. I went on a Yahoo room for windows and posted a message about getting Ubuntu for free via http://wubi-installer.org | 15:21 | |

| patryk_ | hi | 15:22 |
| raheem | r0ach: you can still resume the download .. just download the torrent file, open it any client, point the location to the old saved location. .It will check & resume .. but, it is out of topic . .i guess | 15:22 |
| _Zeus_ | not really... | 15:22 |
| patryk_ | i've got a problem with my computer could u help?? | 15:22 |
| _Zeus_ | !ask | patryk_ | 15:22 |
| ubottu | patryk_: 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. :-) | 15:22 |
| r0ach | No no I didnt lose the torrent data....phew | 15:22 |
| webas | i will try that ljl :) | 15:23 |
| r0ach | I'll try it ASAP | 15:23 |
| _Zeus_ | r0ach: you can just use another client | 15:23 |

| w0ls0n | is there such a thing called MDAC for ubuntu? | 15:24 |
| r0ach | Thanks guys | 15:24 |
| raheem | Can anyone tell me how I can stop ubuntu 8.04 from looking for new hardware while booting ? | 15:24 |
| _Zeus_ | w0ls0n: don't think so | 15:24 |
| _Zeus_ | r0ach: I like Azureus | 15:24 |
| _Zeus_ | raheem: what do you mean, looking? | 15:24 |
| opticalmouse | i like deluge | 15:24 |
| chaos1 | or azureus is also | 15:24 |
| ikonia | w0ls0n thats ADO isn't it? | 15:24 |
| LjL | webas: monkey's audio is proprietary, so the original decoder can't be included, and it's difficult to reverse engineer one | 15:24 |
| w0ls0n | Im tryiong to install DB2 runtime client using crossover but it wants to install MDAC | 15:24 |
| LjL | webas: you should use something else - like FLAC - if at all possible | 15:25 |
| raheem | 8.04 is already installed. .nothing changes on it .. so i need to save boot time | 15:25 |
| ikonia | w0ls0n: I think you'll need to install the windows version of that | 15:25 |
| webas | i will try to convert it somehow..no prob :) | 15:25 |
| _Zeus_ | raheem: umm, I really don't get what you're saying. What do you mean by "Looking for new hardware" | 15:25 |
| _Zeus_ | where do you see that? | 15:25 |
| w0ls0n | oh the windows version of MDAC? Didn't think of that LOL | 15:25 |
| chaos1 | w0ls0n: what is that for | 15:25 |
| _Zeus_ | some audio format, i think | 15:25 |
| w0ls0n | our accounting software. I'm trying to make my desktop linux | 15:25 |
| raheem | _Zeus_: while booting it just stops for long time saying detecting hardware .. | 15:25 |
| _Zeus_ | raheem: that's not looking for new hardware, it's activating what's in the computer, more than likely | 15:26 |
| _Zeus_ | anyone else? | 15:26 |
| _Zeus_ | i've never seen something like that | 15:26 |
| _Zeus_ | raheem: does this happen every time you boot? | 15:26 |
| mpalatnik | can i use thunderbird on ubuntu to import microsoft outlook .ics files (meeting invites?) | 15:26 |
| raheem | _Zeus_: yes | 15:26 |
| _Zeus_ | mpalatnik: I think you need to use thunderbird in windows to import it | 15:26 |
| scabbymadman | _Zeus_, what is your typical boot time from say poweron to login prompt? | 15:27 |
| _Zeus_ | mpalatnik: i take that back :P | 15:27 |
| _Zeus_ | stupid | 15:27 |

| _Zeus_ | so, 30s to a desktop | 15:27 |
| mpalatnik | _Zeus_: so.. do you, or don't you? | 15:27 |
| chaos1 | w0ls0n: http://www.aaxnet.com/design/linuxacct.html is a site that lists various accounting software packages for linux | 15:27 |
| w0ls0n | no | 15:27 |
| _Zeus_ | mpalatnik: I think you can import them. | 15:27 |
| scabbymadman | and _Zeus_ you want it to boot faster if I understand proper? | 15:27 |
| w0ls0n | I don't want to change accounting software | 15:27 |
| _Zeus_ | scabbymadman: yes? | 15:27 |
| raheem | _Zeus_: mine takes 75-80 seconds | 15:27 |
| mpalatnik | _Zeus_: not apparently out of the box | 15:27 |

| chaos1 | you could always do a virtualbox install of windows. | 15:28 |
| _Zeus_ | raheem: well, I don't know how to stop that. Never heard of it | 15:28 |
| srbaker | are there any "official" 32 bit firefox packages to replace 64-bit firefox on my machine? | 15:28 |

| srbaker | ikonia: flash | 15:28 |
| ikonia | srbaker: whats teh end goal | 15:28 |
| Mimi | manish, you can open a terminal window and say which pan | 15:28 |
| r0ach | Zeus: Azureus is big. Me gonna use Deluge | 15:28 |
| _Zeus_ | r0ach: w/e | 15:28 |
| _Zeus_ | :P | 15:28 |
| Mimi | manish, it will say the location of the pacakge | 15:28 |
| ikonia | srbaker: well if you install the flashplugin-nonfree package it will set it all up for you in 64bit firefox | 15:28 |
| srbaker | hrm | 15:29 |
| srbaker | ikonia: okay, thanks | 15:29 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | is there a way to use full resolution on the ttys? | 15:29 |
| Phantal-- | Anyone know what might be wrong? | 15:29 |
| ikonia | _Zeus_: no he won't the flashplugin-nonfree meta package should set it all up in 64bit for him | 15:29 |
| _Zeus_ | Azhi_Dahaka: I don't htink so | 15:29 |
| _Zeus_ | ikonia: for x86 he will | 15:29 |
| _Zeus_ | that's what i mean | 15:29 |
| _Zeus_ | *t | 15:29 |
| raheem | _Zeus_: i am sure my laptop shouldn't take that much time .. looking for a way to tweak it | 15:29 |

| raheem | HP 6720s Laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo .. 3 GB RAM .. | 15:30 |
| _Zeus_ | I have a laptop, C2D, 2GB ram, takes about 1m20s | 15:30 |
| raheem | _Zeus_: i think we are on the same boat then | 15:31 |
| unr3a1 | I am also trying to convert mp3 to 3g2 format. any apps that can do this? | 15:31 |
| _Zeus_ | raheem: I think that's normal | 15:31 |

| raheem | while booting from that flash | 15:31 |
| _Zeus_ | that's solid state | 15:31 |
| _Zeus_ | not that much slower | 15:32 |
| _Zeus_ | slackware? | 15:32 |
| raheem | Slax is based on slackware ; yes | 15:32 |
| _Zeus_ | anyway, I guess you could inspect dmesg | 15:32 |
| raheem | dmesg.. nothing much except that broadcom wireless thing | 15:32 |
| qwertie | Question: On Windows I found a "command prompt here" tool to go from a folder window to the terminal. Can I do something similar in Ubuntu? | 15:32 |
| _Zeus_ | raheem: have you set the option 'nosplash'? | 15:32 |
| raheem | yes . .nosplash | 15:32 |
| rage | Hey, I have an interesting problem Ubuntu randomly restarts, I'll be working and suddenly boom I'll be back at POST. It does not appear to be hardware related, Windows seem to work fine, the 8.04 Live CD seems to work fine, however the 8.10 Live CD dev exibits the same bevaour, so its something between 8.04 release and now that has started doing it, dmesg, kern.log and anything else I can think off seem clean of errors. Any ideas where else to start looking? | 15:32 |

| perpetualrabbit | Anyone around who knows about update-grub and UUIDs? I want to have root=/dev/sda6 on kernel command lines, because I use the machine as an image to install a lot of other machines with. So the UUID will be wrong for those other machines, but /dev/sda6 will be right. update-grub changes the # kopt=root=/dev/sda6 back to # kopt=root=UUID=378925273985-89237589235-235 line each time I run it | 15:34 |

| atlef | rage: did this just happen? | 15:34 |
| airtonix | unr3a1, messy way is to import it to youtube and then redownload it once its up there | 15:34 |
| rage | Nope, it happened a few weeks ago | 15:34 |
| rage | I've been trying to isolate it | 15:34 |

| atlef | rage: ok | 15:34 |
| _Zeus_ | rage: what are you usually doing? | 15:34 |
| _Zeus_ | anything special? | 15:34 |
| rage | _Zeus_: Indeed, I'm usually playing games or stressing the system some how, lots of tabs in firefox, or flash ect | 15:35 |
| ikonia | rage: stresstest livecd is a good way to walk through hardware as you can stress disk/ram/cpu on their on or combinations together | 15:35 |

| Guest29354 | guys, IN New Ubuntu version will it be Circle Dock ?! | 15:35 |
| airtonix | perpetualrabbit, there is a command called uuidgen and uuid maybe these two will help you | 15:35 |
| _Zeus_ | rage: ah-hah. Do you ever do things like that in windows? | 15:35 |
| ikonia | rage: streetest cd will help you out a lot, been a good tool for that very reason | 15:35 |
| _Zeus_ | Guest29354: don't think so | 15:35 |
| rage | _Zeus_: Yes | 15:35 |
| Guest29354 | ok | 15:35 |
| rage | and 8.04 doesnt do it | 15:35 |
| _Zeus_ | rage: ic. | 15:35 |
| rage | however 8.04 fully upgraded does | 15:36 |
| rage | and 8.10 does | 15:36 |
| _Zeus_ | rage: hmmm..... could it be the kernel? | 15:36 |
| qwertie | rage: ic, sudo synaptic | 15:36 |
| _Zeus_ | have you booted to a later kernel after upgrading? | 15:36 |
| srbaker | ikonia: thanks a bunch; that didn't work on my last 64-bit machine, didn't think to try i there. | 15:36 |
| srbaker | thanks! | 15:36 |
| rage | _Zeus_: Possibily, if so its the default in 8.10 as well | 15:36 |
| ikonia | srbaker: no problem | 15:36 |
| rage | As I said, it happens off the live cd | 15:36 |
| ikonia | rage: try the stress test cd | 15:37 |
| ikonia | rage: walk through some tests | 15:37 |
| rage | Okay, | 15:37 |

| datenimperator | hi all, I get weird errors while trying to compile a custom kernel for ubuntu 8.04 server. I've downloaded the sources using "apt-get source ..." and can use the config utility "make menuconfig" but make-kpkg fails miserably with strange errors. Somethings wrong with my shells or toolchain. Can somebody help? | 15:37 |
| rage | _Zeus_: Your kernel idea is a good one, I've still got an older kernel on my system, I'll try booting from that one | 15:37 |
| perpetualrabbit | airtonix: thanks, but I don't want to have to run client side scripts after installing or updating them. That would be required if I have to correct /boot/grub/menu.lst on each client after an update of the image. | 15:38 |
| rage | ikonia: I'll try stresstest as well, thanks | 15:38 |
| airtonix | datenimperator, have you followed the guides on the ubuntuforums for compiling your own kernel? | 15:38 |
| rage | I'll be back sometime tomorrow with the results | 15:38 |
| datenimperator | airtonix: I've used an howto from HowToForge | 15:38 |
| airtonix | datenimperator, there is guides on the ubuntuforums....try find those and see how the two guides differ... | 15:39 |
| datenimperator | airtonix: thanks, I'll try | 15:39 |
| _Zeus_ | rage: I'd bet $ on that | 15:39 |
| airtonix | datenimperator, i dare say there will be fundamental differences that howtoforge misses(me thinks they just assume thigns when making those guides) | 15:39 |

| chaos1 | DawnLight: do you have 256 MB RAM and 5 GB of HDD (with windows) | 16:00 |
| airtonix | DawnLight, this is why you make your swap drive twice as large than how much physcial ram you have | 16:00 |

| DawnLight | chaos1: yes | 16:00 |

| sap | it gives grub load error | 16:01 |
| airtonix | DawnLight, it also therefore makes sense to put your swap partition as the last partition with space left over in case you put more ram sticks in, which will lead you to enlarging your swap drive | 16:01 |
| DawnLight | airtonix: but i be right back | 16:01 |

| xomp | will not having a swap drive cause any issues? I removed my swap drive long ago when resizing disks and haven't really noticed anything bad because of it. I have 2GB of memory. | 16:02 |
| soundray | lostonthehill: how is it connected, PCI or USB? | 16:02 |
| airtonix | xomp, you can of course set a swap file instead | 16:02 |
| lostonthehill | soundray: PCI | 16:02 |
| Greggaz | Soundray i have pastebin'd it : http://paste.ubuntu.com/58380/ | 16:02 |

| Greggaz | Soundray i have pastebin'd it : http://paste.ubuntu.com/58380/ | 16:03 |
| xomp | airtonix, but is it beneficial? I mean, since removing my swap I've not noticed any changes to the system other than a gain in hard drive space lol | 16:03 |
| atlef | xomp: depends, i have 4gb of ram, and still swap is used on my system | 16:03 |
| soundray | Greggaz: that's not a compile error. Run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a', then it should work | 16:03 |
| airtonix | xomp, without a swap file or partition, you wont be able to suspend to disk | 16:03 |
| atlef | xomp: so it depends on your use | 16:04 |
| lostonthehill | soundray: i can't get that right now, i'm running windows atm so i can connect | 16:04 |
| xomp | airtonix, I never suspend to disk :) is that it's only purpose? | 16:04 |
| Greggaz | soundray it says That i Need Superuser Powers how do i get them | 16:04 |
| unr3a1 | I see, airtonix | 16:04 |
| airtonix | xomp, no...it serves same purpose as virtual memory does in windows | 16:04 |
| airtonix | xomp, it's also used for paging cached ram that isnt used 'recently' | 16:04 |
| xomp | airtonix, ahh ok :) good, this PC stays on 24/7 heh, I wasn't sure if it was imperative to use a swap or not | 16:04 |

So I've tried to reinstall the kernel (apt-get install --reinstall kernel-image) as well as refresh grub and it's menu.lst file but no luck, is there a way to just remove the previous linux kernels and start afresh, or would that involve reinstalling ubuntu entirely? | 16:05 |
| Greggaz | ok 2 moments | 16:05 |
| airtonix | xomp, a swap drive would make alot of sense on a server that runs a webserver and a database server | 16:05 |
| sap | ok again i tried installing ubuntu on my friend's laptop and at 94% it gives me a grub load error or something so basically it is not installing ubuntu's bootloader what do i do on which drive do i install it on from the advance option before installation | 16:05 |

| noltha | hi all! Im searching for a method to install ubuntu on a pendrive, with persistent installation, i mean, I want to boot it on any system, install some apps, and that apps remains in the next reboot any idea¿? | 16:05 |
| airtonix | xomp, for things like cached sql queries... | 16:05 |
| soundray | sap: does the computer have more than one hard disk drive? | 16:06 |
| xomp | airtonix, well I use ubuntu primarily for LAMP but it's a testing platform really as I'm learning PHP/MySQL and it's not in a production environment :) | 16:06 |
| Greggaz | Soundray i got another error :/var/lib/dpkg/info/webmin.postinst: 34: cannot create /tmp/.webmin/webmin-setup.out: Directory nonexistent | 16:06 |
| === stickyboy is now known as stickboy | ||

| airtonix | xomp, :) your database server will be more efficient witha swap partition on a hella fast drive | 16:06 |
| soundray | Greggaz: okay, that seems to be a bug. As a workaround, try 'sudo mkdir /tmp/.webmin', then run the dpkg command again | 16:06 |
| soundray | Greggaz: and don't repeat | 16:07 |
| airtonix | xomp, but for know as a testing environ ... you probably wont see any benefit from it | 16:07 |
| soundray | sap: I think you should try to install grub manually. Use the instructions for when Windows has overwritten grub: | 16:07 |
| soundray | !grub > sap | 16:07 |
| ubottu | sap, please see my private message | 16:07 |

| soundray | Greggaz: good. Try the dpkg command again | 16:09 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: write a complaining letting to adobe if your not happy with it (seriously) the more hassle/press/support requests they got on it | 16:09 |

| Stormx2 | ikonia: But surely this is fixable without that? I mean, shouldn't there be a way to make it output to alsa? :/ | 16:09 |
| Stormx2 | Some workaround or something | 16:09 |
| ikonia | soundray: how do you know it's pulse and not an issue with the flash plugin ? | 16:10 |

| DawnLight | can the ubuntu live cd use swap from a usb external hdd? | 16:13 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: hence why I'm suggestign it's more likley to be a flashplugin (closed source - we don't know) issue with audio, rather than a pulse (working with everything else) issue | 16:13 |
| tyenpe | Someone please helpme:( | 16:13 |
| Stormx2 | ikonia: Nah. I just opened an MP3 in firefox and it worked a treat | 16:13 |
| bastid_raZor | Azhi_Dahaka; try running the windows with gksudo .. see if that makes a difference. | 16:13 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | no difference | 16:13 |
| soundray | lostonthehill: hello? | 16:13 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: that doesn't mean I'm right - just offering a blunt suggestions | 16:13 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | same default widgets | 16:13 |
| Stormx2 | ikonia, oh I'm quite aware it's a flash problem. I've already written to them, though | 16:13 |
| Stormx2 | but I figured there might be a solution to the problem | 16:13 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | when i said sudo windows, i was referring to windows that require sudo privileges | 16:14 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: now as I recall there is a library set for multiple devices accessing flash audio (libflash) or soemthing like that, you may want to try using that | 16:14 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | sorry if I wasn't clear enough | 16:14 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: the only reason I say that is I've seen firefox+youtuve "lock" the sounds device for a while even after the sesssion is gone | 16:14 |
| datenimperator | any chance somebody could help a little with my kernel compile problem? Error is on http://paste.ubuntu.com/58386/ | 16:15 |
| ikonia | datenimperator: kernel compilation is not support | 16:15 |
| ikonia | supported | 16:15 |
| lostonthehill | soundray: It lists the driver as "Gtm51lrp.sys", or did i lose a response in the noise? | 16:15 |
| Stormx2 | ikonia: libflashsupport? Yeah. But it only works for frickin' pulse audio | 16:15 |
| ikonia | datenimperator error is pretty clean though, it's missing the make file | 16:15 |
| ikonia | Stormx2 are you not using pulse ? | 16:15 |

| ikonia | l3d: find a chat channel then | 16:19 |
| ikonia | datenimperator: the netfilter options are all modular and int he kernel, which ones are missing | 16:19 |

| Uplink | ikonia: still good enough | 16:44 |
| ikonia | Uplink: you sound like you don't really understand what your doing, so it's not worth the risk | 16:44 |
| JuJuBee | It was, would uninstalling nfs-kernel-server uninstall nfsd? | 16:44 |
| Uplink | ikonia: and whats the risk? | 16:44 |
| edlv | any software similar to winrar to create .rar archives? | 16:44 |
| ikonia | Uplink: if 60 meg is "good" to recover, you need to repartition your hard disk | 16:44 |
| JuJuBee | I did install unfs after removing nfs-kernel-server | 16:44 |
| ikonia | Uplink: that you'll remove your current kernel | 16:44 |

| Uplink | ikonia: might wanna come in VNC and help me? :D | 16:46 |
| ikonia | Uplink no, if 60 meg is a BIG number to recover, then you need to re-install and repartition your OS as it will soon be full | 16:46 |
| Uplink | ikonia: ubuntu is not the only OS i have on this notebook | 16:46 |
| ikonia | Uplink that doesn't change anything | 16:46 |

| JuJuBee | ikonia : sudo apt-get install portmap nfs-kernel-server , but I am trying to switch to unfs I thought unfs replaces nfs-kernel-server? | 16:47 |
| ikonia | Uplink: because you have no disk space left and 60 meg is not going to last long so your layout is wrong | 16:47 |

| JuJuBee | ikonia: did I miss something? is unfs3 a replacement for nfs-kernel-server? | 16:51 |
| ikonia | limitedwisdom: at a guess I'd say your virtual interface bridge is unstable | 16:51 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee I don't know what enfs3 is ? | 16:51 |
| JuJuBee | user space nfs | 16:51 |
| limitedwisdom | hrm. I wonder how I troubleshoot that. :) thanks for the direction ikonia! | 16:51 |
| harish | genii:ya it has been runnuing.thanx:) how do i run a php script written using web browser? | 16:52 |
| ikonia | limitedwisdom: it's a guess - but I'd put a good bet on thats teh issue | 16:52 |
| JuJuBee | I think nfs is causing problems on my network. I wanted to try user space nfs. | 16:52 |
| ikonia | limitedwisdom: from the information you've given me anyway | 16:52 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: you'll still need the nfs services running for userspace, surly | 16:52 |
| limitedwisdom | unfortunately, it's setup the same as the other virtual win boxes that work fine. | 16:52 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : so then what is the "server"? nfs-common? | 16:53 |

| simon1245 | What is best Compiz Or Beryl? | 17:25 |
| Mixed_--_ | simon, you can type "alt-f2" and enter : gksudo displayconfig-gtk, a window will pop up that will allow you to change the resolution, if the resolution you want is not listed you will have to edit a called "xorg.conf" located in the director "/etc/X11" | 17:25 |
| Tundrayeti312 | !best | simon1245 | 17:25 |
| ubottu | simon1245: 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. | 17:25 |
| XiXaQ | simon1245, beryl is dead, isn't it? | 17:25 |
| noodlesgc | !beryl | 17:25 |

| noodlesgc | fbc use the 'import <filename>' | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | fbc: as an image? | 17:38 |
| locustmage | fbc i think there is a program. to take a screenshot.. | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | fbc: locustmage noodlesgc pressing "ImprPant" takes a screenshot in gnome | 17:38 |
| locustmage | if its not in the add programs its definatly in Synaptic | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | fbc: also gimp can take the screenshot (has more options) and you can then crop it as needed | 17:39 |
| locustmage | but he is talking about a certain portion of the screen. you can click on a specific window with the program im thinking of | 17:39 |
| fbc | erUSUL, that's what I do now... | 17:39 |
| kuthux | maybe u can try "wink" | 17:40 |
| locustmage | oh i didnt know gimp had one.. that would prolly be your best bet fbc | 17:40 |
| erUSUL | fbc: gimp can import only the active window | 17:40 |
| fbc | erUSUL, I thought there might be a way to send just the portion of the screen selected to the file or the clipboard instead of the whole screen. | 17:40 |

| sploozer | any ideas? | 19:01 |
| Jeruvy | sploozer: if your environment supports it you can simply allow 'guest' access to the smb shares. But it's better to require a login. If you're using proper user authentication then once you give smb permission to check your status, you should be good to go. | 19:01 |

| Jeruvy | sploozer: I may be wrong but I think the user permissions are machine specific on ubuntu. | 19:04 |

| danbh_intrepid | afallenhope|work: the task install is harmless, if you are already using the default ubuntu. The autoremove should also be harmless. gtkorphan, you just need to make sure you dont remove packages that you want.

| shredder12 | isn't there any way to do it permanently.. | 19:18 |

| jrib | heinz_57: I suggest you make a backup of your sudoers. Here's the command to edit it safely (you MUST run this in a terminal, NOT with alt-f2): EDITOR=gedit sudo -E visudo | 19:51 |
| dudus | jambooda: or leavbe part of your ram memory unreachable | 19:51 |
| Stormx2 | Appi, a simple google search led me here: http://www.newlinuxuser.com/beginners-tip-learning-to-use-chmod/ | 19:51 |
| Stormx2 | jambooda, physically, 32-bit architecture won't be able to address RAM sizes much bigger than 3GB. Sorry, but you'll need to run a 64-bit OS to access that. | 19:52 |
| dudus | jambooda: I dont know about PAE | 19:52 |

| jrib | Stormx2: easier to just use the tar.gz and nspluginwrapper (it's two commands). Try installing it again and then purging to see if that's any better. Here's a related bug: bugs.ubuntu.com/283718 | 19:55 |
| jclbrt | ok.... strange thing happened.... I just installed Ubuntu to my macbook pro for the first time... at first i did not have WiFi, but then I was able to install the madwifi drivers for the airport extreme card.... then the wifi worked after that.

| sysadmin | good evening - hopefully a simple question, I have a core2 with 8gb ram - I would like to run the 32bit version for some games etc that I run under wine, I also put my root on LVM, which means I have to use the alternate CD - does the server version of ubuntu have a PAE kernel or do I have to goto the 64bit version, in which case is desktop or server a better choice for kernel or are they the same ? | 20:03 |
| Jeruvy | BetaTest: good luck | 20:03 |
| NH4NO3 | whoops, sorry :( | 20:03 |
| jclbrt | Misfits: I am in the add/remove window but not sure where i should be looking to determine if they are installed or not | 20:04 |

| jclbrt | ah ok... | 20:05 |
| Stormx2 | KScott: Again, PHP error message, not from Apache. I'm asking if the error is from an in-built function of PHP, or a custom error you've raised yourself as part of some exception in the class you've built. | 20:05 |
| pLr | sysadmin: Check the master kernel thread on ubuntu forums, use this method | 20:05 |
| Misfits | jclbrt: the thing your looking for's icon looks like a .... graphics card.... the old school type LOL | 20:05 |
| BetaTest | Jeruvy somebody else tried doing that for me, and it dodn't budge :/ | 20:05 |
| Stormx2 | jrib, it says: W: Unable to locate package adobe-flashplugin | 20:05 |
| sysadmin | thanks pLr | 20:05 |
| pLr | sysadmin: you can start from any LTS | 20:05 |
| KScott | the error is from php, it's not a custom error handler. | 20:05 |

| jrib | jambooda: reinstall | 20:13 |
| jclbrt | but then the second i ran a software update from within ubuntu and restarted it stopped working | 20:13 |
| woddf2 | Hello | 20:13 |
| woddf2 | My sound card is a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit. | 20:13 |
| Stormx2 | jharkn, what is your idea of a "dictionary". A dictionary defines words or phrases. If you want to look up what a command does, you can check it's man page, or pass it --help/-h | 20:13 |
| kristof1978 | #asterisk | 20:13 |
| woddf2 | Amarok is the only application that plays sound. | 20:13 |
| TJ-42 | Mari_: I don't think it installs an icon. you'll either have to just run the program from a command line or add the icon yourself. | 20:13 |

| Misfits | jclbrt: okay run it | 20:14 |
| manolemar | sal | 20:14 |
| jambooda | reinstalling is going to be such a pain...upgrade isn't recommended? | 20:14 |
| Stormx2 | woddf2, other applications? What application does it work with, then? | 20:14 |
| Mari_ | So how do i run the application | 20:14 |
| woddf2 | Stormx2: Amarok | 20:14 |
| jclbrt | ummm... i still have the same Hardware Drivers option in the system/administration menu | 20:14 |
| Stormx2 | Mari_: Alt+F2. Type "TrueCrypt" without the quotes | 20:14 |
| Mari_ | i neeed to run it now but it just gets installed | 20:14 |
| jharkn | Stormx2: when I say 'cl dictionary' I just mean a normal dictionary accessible from the command line rather than a gui app, rather than a dictionary /of/ the cl :) | 20:14 |
| Stormx2 | not sure if the capitalisation is right. | 20:14 |
| Mari_ | okay thanks | 20:15 |
| Stormx2 | jharkn, so, man? | 20:15 |
| Stormx2 | What's wrong with man? | 20:15 |
| Mari_ | let me try | 20:15 |
| jclbrt | apparently the add/remove saw two of them, one was installed and the other wasn't | 20:15 |
| jclbrt | i installed the one that wasn't but that one isn't showing up | 20:15 |
| jharkn | Stormx2: so man defines english words?! | 20:15 |
| Mari_ | Could not open location 'file:///home/atiqur/TrueCrypt' | 20:15 |
| TJ-42 | Mari_: you'll actually want to type it in all lowercase, like "truecrypt" . commands in linux are case sensitive | 20:15 |
| woddf2 | It works with Amarok though: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/woddfellow2/snapshot.png | 20:15 |

| Misfits | Pici: why so hostlie ? i was helping, want me to buy you a beer ? set the score straight... | 20:28 |

| GuraX | as far as I know a compressed deb file | 20:28 |
| dubby | BetaTest: using wireless or wired? | 20:28 |
| jrib | jclbrt: when you boot, choose the older kernel from the grub menu | 20:29 |

| BetaTest | dubby I'm not sure because I'm currently on Vista so I can't check | 20:30 |
| chupy | i tried but it dont pass nothing | 20:30 |

| BetaTest | I think it was there though when I checked last night | 20:30 |

| rnd0110 | After yesterday's kernel update I cant use my scaneer, can anybody help? | 20:34 |
| BetaTest | wardy go with WINE | 20:34 |
| Stormx2 | Misfits: When my hardware started screwing up, it's because I was botting into a -386 kernel for no good reason, an update made it the default. My network card and sound card wouldn't work. Booting into -generic fixed it. Maybe it's the same issue. | 20:34 |
| Misfits | jclbrt: welcome back | 20:34 |
| michLinuxGuy | Did you look at output of dmesg? | 20:34 |
| jclbrt | jrib: nope I just booted into the older kernel and still not there | 20:34 |
| wardy | ok i have issues with wine like running pureedge a govt pdf style editor | 20:34 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, Could you run "uname -a" (without the quotes) in a terminal, and give me the output? | 20:34 |
| dubby | vb is a programming language not an emulator | 20:34 |
| Misfits | jclbrt: see what Stromx2 said to me ? | 20:35 |
| kskrilla | vb = virtualbox | 20:35 |

| esay | hibernate mode doesn't work ... why? kskrilla | 20:38 |
| Stormx2 | unitedpotsmokers, nice nick. It means that a custom repository (the WINE repo) hasn't got a valid key for it. It's not an error as such, but it means that if the WINE server is hacked, you won't be any the wiser, and they could push through malicious software. Realistically, that won't happen | 20:38 |
| BetaTest | Anyway, if ifconfig eth0 up doesn't work, how else could I get the internet working? | 20:38 |

| l3d | no | 20:40 |
| Tundrayeti312 | unitedpotsmokers: I ran into that yesterday and clicked OK... there is probably a key availabe from their site if you are feeling motivated... lol | 20:40 |

| jim_p | please feel free to comment | 20:45 |
| vacuum | can someone give me info to get wifi working | 20:45 |
| Misfits | jclbrt: reinstal the madwifi drivers... try that ? | 20:45 |
| jclbrt | Misfits: tried that | 20:45 |
| vacuum | i am using wep 128 | 20:45 |
| Misfits | jclbrt: damnnn | 20:46 |
| dulak | I heard wubi causes testicular cancer | 20:46 |
| jclbrt | and i even tried to force them into the kernel | 20:46 |
| jim_p | vacuum: is your card recognised by ubuntu? | 20:46 |
| Misfits | jclbrt: still nothing huh... | 20:46 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt: When you left-click the network manager icon (the one in the top right which manages wifi), do you see a list of wireless networks? | 20:46 |
| vacuum | not sure how can i check | 20:46 |
| jim_p | dulak: hahahahaha. i will use it as a counter-excuse. give me a sec to post | 20:46 |
| rnd0110 | Hello. yesterday's update left me without scanner support, can anybody help? | 20:46 |
| rnd0110 | My scanner is CanoScan LIDE25 | 20:46 |
| jclbrt | StormX2: I did until after the upgrade now i see nothing | 20:46 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, there's no icon on the top right? | 20:47 |
| jclbrt | no there is an icon | 20:47 |
| kskrilla | How can i get CAMORARMA to see /dev/video0 ? i have my sony vaio webcam installed with r5u870, any ideas? | 20:47 |
| jclbrt | but all i see is the wired network | 20:47 |
| jim_p | vacuum: lspci | 20:47 |
| Misfits | Stormx2: all he gets is the wired network... | 20:47 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, could you open up a terminal, type "nm-applet" (without quotes) and hit enter? | 20:47 |

| ghee | are there any scim folks here? scim launches successfully but doesn't show any languages when i click on the icon in the tray (i'd selected hindi & eng in global setup). Any ideas? | 20:47 |
| Stormx2 | kskrilla, Does the /dev/video0 file exist? | 20:48 |
| jclbrt | ok Stormx2 | 20:48 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, did the icon appear in the top right? | 20:48 |
| jclbrt | I did that it just launched another instance of the network icon | 20:48 |
| jclbrt | yes it did appear | 20:48 |
| Stormx2 | Another instance? | 20:48 |
| Stormx2 | I thought you said there wasn't one? | 20:48 |
| Stormx2 | Oh sorry, I misread | 20:49 |
| jclbrt | no... there is one but it only shows Wired connection | 20:49 |
| Stormx2 | Okay, go back to terminal and hit Ctrl+C | 20:49 |
| jclbrt | no wireless connections | 20:49 |
| rnd0110 | Does anyone know at least how to roll back software update? | 20:49 |
| rnd0110 | (including kernel modules) | 20:49 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, right. System > Administration > Network again. Could you list the interfaces it mentions? Is there a mention of a wireless interface? | 20:49 |
| jclbrt | rnd0110: I wish some one knew cuz that would fix my problem | 20:49 |
| joshua24 | rnd0110 if u want to boot from old kernel then boot from it in grub | 20:50 |
| break_free | can anyone help? When I enable desktop effects, i lose the title bars on my windows | 20:50 |
| vacuum | jim.p have run lspci and tha wireless card is recognised | 20:50 |
| jclbrt | no mention | 20:50 |
| joshua24 | select the 19 kernel or 16 and not new one | 20:50 |
| jclbrt | just wired connection and point to point connection | 20:50 |
| joshua24 | break free that is a known bug, check launchpad | 20:50 |

| Stormx2 | break_free, try running compiz --replace in a terminal | 20:50 |
| bastid_raZor | break_free; window decorations, enable those | 20:50 |

| joshua24 | np | 20:50 |
| joshua24 | break_free: are u nVidi | 20:50 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, weird. Okay. Could you run this: "cd && dmesg > out.txt" | 20:51 |
| joshua24 | NVIDIA not Nvidi | 20:51 |
| bastid_raZor | break_free; or disable then reenable. that is the plug-in that controls it | 20:51 |
| break_free | joshua24, yes, nvidia | 20:51 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, then, open up your home folder (Places > Home), open up out.txt, and copy & paste it to pastebin.com | 20:51 |

| jclbrt | maybe I need to just reinstall ubuntu.... | 20:54 |
| l3d | ok I fixed it | 20:54 |
| jclbrt | cuz this is giving me a freaking head ache.... i've been at this since last night | 20:54 |
| rnd0110 | jclbrt: there should be older packages | 20:55 |
| jclbrt | grrrrrr..... | 20:55 |
| jclbrt | rnd0110: what do you mean | 20:55 |
| jclbrt | ? | 20:55 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, honestly I'm not sure what the issue is. Could you do an "ifconfig" and pastebin that? | 20:55 |

| rnd0110 | ok thanks! | 20:56 |
| rnd0110 | joshua24: thanks! | 20:56 |
| BetaTest | Stormx2 any idea what's wrong with my problem? :/ | 20:56 |
| l3d | Try editing ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs in your favorite text editor. There should be a line that says: | 20:56 |
| l3d | XDG_DESKTOP_DIR=SOMEPATHTOFOLDER this is what i did and my home folder wasnt linked to my desktop | 20:56 |
| jrib | jclbrt: did wireless "just work" when you first installed ubuntu or you had to use something like ndiswrapper? | 20:56 |
| jclbrt | and as there being no way to revert back to before i did the updates all i can do is reinstall and then try to figure out which update screwed it up | 20:56 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, that's quite a feat, considering ubuntu has only been around for 4 years! | 20:56 |
| Pici | zg_: #ubuntu-offtopic exists if you're bored and just want to chat with other ubuntu people | 20:56 |

| teimu | Hi #ubuntu, it seems kernel 2.6.24-21 was released for download on the ubuntu repositories. Why is it that I was not able download these packages with apt-get upgrade (claims packages have been "held back"), but the gnome update manager downloaded them fine? | 20:57 |
| jclbrt | jrib: no i installed the madwifi drivers following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro directions | 20:57 |
| jclbrt | and it worked after that jrib but then i ran the updates and then it did not work | 20:57 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt, pastebin "ifconfig", please? | 20:57 |

| jclbrt | I was in here.... but i was having trackpad problems, which i have since fixed | 21:00 |
| Stormx2 | jclbrt: Which instructions? The 3-step ones or the subversion ones? | 21:00 |

| chetnick | i want to transfer my system to another hard drive, what is the best way to do that? | 21:01 |
| hlfshell | okay, so this morning i saw that there was a new driver or something for ATI cards - the ubuntu new hardware thingy popped up. i told it to get the driver and whatnot. i go to class, come back, reset my wonderfully working computer, and now can't go beyond 800x600. I am having trouble figuring out how to revert back to how things were... can anyone help me? | 21:01 |
| awmcclain | Is there a way, using apt-get, to only install updates from, say, DISTRO-security, AND to preview which packages will be updated before executing it? | 21:02 |
| jclbrt | chetnick: you want to clone your HD | 21:02 |
| Stormx2 | hlfshell, my drivers occasionally boot me into 800x600. Have you tried rebooting / restarting X? | 21:02 |
| jclbrt | chetnick: u need a hard drive cloning tool | 21:02 |
| hlfshell | quite a few times Stormx2... right now i have uninstalled the driver, but then ubuntu still cant go beyond 800x600 | 21:02 |
| jrib | awmcclain: disable all the repositories except -security and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:02 |
| Stormx2 | hlfshell, you might need to reconfigure X. one moment | 21:03 |
| hlfshell | Stormx2, and this is from a system running 1280xsomethingorother with compiz this mornign so i know it works. | 21:03 |
| awmcclain | jrib: Won't upgrade update everything willy-nilly? | 21:03 |

| jrib | Shakedown: why do you want your private key on the remote machine? | 21:03 |
| Shakedown | ...isn't that how it works? | 21:04 |
| Stormx2 | hlfshell, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <-- run this. Hit enter on everything apart from the resolutions bit. On that bit, check any resolutions you want to be able to access. Continue through until the end, then restart X | 21:04 |
| jrib | Shakedown: nope :/ | 21:04 |
| Shakedown | the public key on the server and the private key on the remote? | 21:04 |
| jclbrt | wait... how do i know what version of ubuntu i have | 21:04 |
| Shakedown | You sure? | 21:04 |
| jrib | Shakedown: you mean "client" by "remote"? | 21:04 |
| hlfshell | alright Stormx2 - im going to try that now. brb after its done | 21:04 |
| hlfshell | thanks! :-) | 21:04 |
| Shakedown | yes | 21:05 |
| jrib | !version | jclbrt | 21:05 |

| Kragnerac | 9.04 | 21:06 |
| jrib | Shakedown: the private key is yours, you keep it on the client usually as ~/.ssh/id_rsa . On the server you add your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.password.pub (corresponding to your private key on the client) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server | 21:06 |
| jclbrt | and see if that fixes it since the website says the drivers are built in | 21:06 |
| jclbrt | brb | 21:06 |
| Kragnerac | The newest version I have is 13.04, but :) | 21:06 |

| Shakedown | jrib: I don't have it on my client. I put the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on my server, so where should I put the private key on my cygwin client? | 21:10 |
| hlfshell | ok, so that didn't work. like, at all... im still stuck in 800x600, and even when i use the ati drivers the system has trouble on restart. trying ati drivers one last time.... | 21:10 |
| jrib | Shakedown: then you don't need to do anything else on the server (that's what ssh-copy-id does). I have no idea how cygwin works | 21:11 |
| Shakedown | jrib: just make some file named id_rsa in .ssh? | 21:11 |
| jrib | Shakedown: it's not "some file". It's your private key | 21:11 |
| Shakedown | jrib: but it's just text in a file | 21:12 |
| jrib | Shakedown: sure, containing your private key | 21:12 |

| rnd0110 | hi again. My scanner problem seems to be solved! | 21:21 |
| hlfshell | so i had my video drivers all set up this morning, then i updated them, and now i cant get any drivers to work on my system... im stuck in 800x600. can anyone help? | 21:21 |
| === Dopppp is now known as Doppp | ||
| rnd0110 | for some reason, my user doesnt have access to scanner device | 21:21 |
| DFlame | Ashkore, you could try installing adobe's plugin. It usually gets flash sorted out. It's "flashplugin-nonfree" and can be found in synaptic | 21:21 |
| rnd0110 | works as root though. | 21:21 |
| Ashkore | I'm on my PS3 Adobes are x86 only | 21:22 |
| Milos_SD | Q: I have Asus A7S333 MB with SiS chipset and AMD Athlon XP 1800+, and when I go to shutdown, i doesn't shutdown. It turn off all devices and processes, but doesn't halt or whatever is the word for it. How can I fix that? | 21:22 |
| rnd0110 | bye | 21:22 |
| DFlame | ah, that'd explain a bit then. I'm not familar with linux on the PS3 | 21:22 |
| tyberion | Guys, I've got some serious trouble with running applications that use sound, if I open amarok, and play a mp3, all is fine... If I open up mplayer or any other thing that uses sound then, amarok crashes, all freezes, and I'm forced to CTRL ALT BACKSPACE, isnt there some type of workaround for that?? Using alsa driver atm... | 21:23 |
| Ganandorf | Thanks bastid_raZor but which is it or is it either or | 21:23 |
| Ashkore | so for now Im trying to get swfdec-mozilla to work but its not working at all | 21:23 |
| Kristie | is there a way to set the font size for a printer, webpages i'm printing are just too large in text | 21:23 |
| mongolai | tyberion: are you trying to run those apps simultaneously? | 21:24 |
| tyberion | mongolai: yeah.. by accident more or less | 21:24 |
| tyberion | mongolai: if I open up some kind of Firefox flash that uses sound... | 21:24 |
| mongolai | tyberion: ok. are you on kubuntu by chance? | 21:24 |
| tyberion | buuump.. | 21:25 |
| bastid_raZor | Ganandorf; go with purge and afterwards it'll tell you if you need to do autoremove to clean up | 21:25 |
| tyberion | ubuntu, fluxbox... | 21:25 |
| DFlame | Ashkore, I'm really stabbing in any random direction here but you might want to look at something called gnash. the thread here is old, so it may have progressed since then: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=635233 | 21:25 |
| Tundrayeti312 | tyberion: Are you using pulseaudio at all? | 21:25 |
| mongolai | tyberion: does it only happen with amarok? | 21:25 |
| Ashkore | Also using apt-get install says i gotz newest version, so it IS installed, either its not working or I don't know how to use it | 21:25 |
| snoop | hi | 21:26 |
| Ashkore | Gnash doesn't start up, its installed but it doesnt do anything when I start it up | 21:26 |
| PoisonArrow | How can I add more widgets for Kubuntu. | 21:26 |
| CyD | tyberion: could you double check what sound engine is being used by amarok? if you haven't given this info already at least | 21:26 |
| DFlame | might want to try posting on the forums then Ashkore. It seems I'm spent for now. Someone would have corrected me if they knew the right solution | 21:26 |
| RandyboY | How can i remove the password input when i login? Guess its called key ring or something. Ive set my machine to atomaticly login and i dont want to have to type a password for the machine to login on my wireless network. This laptop is only on one/my wireless net so if i want to move my laptop ill just turn off autologin... How to fix this? | 21:27 |
| Rev | hello | 21:27 |
| danbh_intrepid | RandyboY: have you tried using interfaces? | 21:27 |
| Rev | is it possible to use disk space on / to store data? | 21:27 |
| mongolai | RandyboY: go into the keyring manager and set the keyring password to nothing -- i.e. hit return | 21:27 |
| Rev | i still have free space in / but nothing left in /home | 21:27 |
| Rev | can i move some data to /data? | 21:28 |
| danbh_intrepid | Rev: sure, why not | 21:28 |
| RandyboY | mongolai, but then i have to hit return every time? | 21:28 |
| tyberion | sorry | 21:28 |
| tyberion | was afk | 21:28 |
| tyberion | sec | 21:28 |
| mongolai | RandyboY: no, i don't think so | 21:28 |
| RandyboY | danbh_intrepid, dont think so. Dunno what you mean | 21:28 |
| zerko | how do i change ubuntu to not use CD rom to install things but use the web? | 21:28 |
| Tundrayeti312 | !ask > tyberion | 21:29 |
| ubottu | tyberion, please see my private message | 21:29 |
| Rev | danbh_intrepid, dunno, maybe that could mess eveything up | 21:29 |
| danbh_intrepid | RandyboY: interfaces sets up networking before the login screen even... | 21:29 |
| tyberion | uh..? | 21:29 |
| Tundrayeti312 | oops !enter > tyberion | 21:29 |
| DFlame | zerko, you can remove the CD from the repos in synaptic | 21:29 |
| danbh_intrepid | Rev: well, it could mess things up if you fill up / too | 21:29 |
| zerko | what file is that? | 21:29 |
| RandyboY | danbh_intrepid, ah, i see /etc/networks/interfaces :-) Now iunderstood | 21:29 |
| shaow | my Add/Remove programs is missing | 21:29 |
| zerko | which file do I edit?? | 21:30 |
| tyberion | well, Im using pulseaudio in amarok, and yeah its always amarok thats crashing, other stuff just not giving any sound if its in use//// | 21:30 |
| Ganandorf | bastid_raZor: i got this The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: | 21:30 |
| Ganandorf | libavahi-qt3-1 libarts1c2a kdelibs4c2a libartsc0 libk3b2 kdebase-bin-kde3 | 21:30 |
| Ganandorf | liblualib50 libflac++6 kdebase-bin libdbus-qt-1-1c2 libqt3-mt kdelibs-data | 21:30 |
| Ganandorf | liblua50 libaudio2 | 21:30 |
| Ganandorf | Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. | 21:30 |
| FloodBot1 | Ganandorf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:30 |
| Ganandorf | The following packages will be REMOVED: | 21:30 |
| shaow | no its not missing | 21:30 |
| shaow | its in "Other" | 21:30 |
| shaow | :( | 21:30 |
| tyberion | CyD, | 21:30 |
| shaow | why is it in other? | 21:30 |
| mongolai | amarok is a kde app, is it not? | 21:30 |
| danbh_intrepid | RandyboY: yeah, using interfaces bypasses networkmanager, and I think it sets the connection up during boot, rather than after user login, which is cool, IMHO | 21:30 |
| shaow | mongolai: yes | 21:30 |
| strumica | ok, installed joomla, when I put index.php in /var/www/ firefox says restricted access, help? | 21:30 |
| tyberion | CyD, mongolai, Tundrayeti312.. you saw message? sorry forgot to attach your nicknames | 21:31 |
| Tundrayeti312 | tyberion: Does amarok work if you switch to use alsa instead? ( i.e. do you have the proper packages for pulseaudio and alsa to work together? ) | 21:31 |
| Ganandorf | http://paste.ubuntu.com/58519/ thats what i got bastid_raZor | 21:31 |
| danbh_intrepid | strumica: did you set the permissions and ownership? | 21:31 |
| mongolai | tyberion: yep | 21:31 |
| tyberion | Tundrayeti312: uhm, what packages do I need for that, sec ill checkk | 21:31 |
| Rev | danbh_intrepid, ok thanks | 21:31 |
| Ashkore | awesome, I am now on irc on my PS3-Ubuntu | 21:31 |
| RandyboY | danbh_intrepid, good tips. Ill try | 21:32 |
| strumica | danbh_intrepid: how to do that, please | 21:32 |
| tyberion | Tundrayeti312: yep alsa is also working but I guess will crash also, if I try now Im gone :D | 21:32 |

| zerko | how do I install openssh on the server? | 21:32 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hi... just want to know, i login to ubuntu like usual (not root acc), the problem is, everytime i want to do something like want to update, it always ask me to put a password. how to set it will ask for the password for once? | 21:32 |
| Administrator | how can i check what group a user belongs to ? | 21:33 |
| Shakedown | zerko: sudo apt-get install openssh | 21:33 |
| mongolai | zerko: it's sshd | 21:33 |
| Tundrayeti312 | Tyberion: well you could kill pulseaudio by typing pulseaudio -k in bash, then start by pulseaudio -D... start your problem program and see if you get some errors to spit out | 21:33 |
| === Administrator is now known as techsupport | ||
| strumica | danbh_intrepid: did that, still not working | 21:33 |
| J_P | How I change the timezone ? I try tzselect and dpkg-reconfigure tzdata too but I have diferentes results in two machines.. why ? | 21:34 |
| soundray | techsupport: don't ask a question, then change your nick | 21:34 |
| jrib | Shakedown: chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa | 21:34 |
| tyberion | Wtf, Tundrayeti312, what did I do just know, it works now......? | 21:34 |
| danbh_intrepid | unitedpotsmokers: well, thats not straightforward, nor desirable, since it can be dangerous. The point is that every time you do something that makes big changes to your system, you need to use sudo and enter your password. | 21:34 |
| techsupport | soundray, i didnt know that i was logged in with that nick thats why i changed it | 21:34 |
| Tundrayeti312 | tyberion: Still using alsa as engine? | 21:34 |

| tyberion | Tundrayeti312: in amarok, yep... | 21:35 |
| DrX | is there a way to tell why a particular ext3 partition got corrupted? | 21:35 |
| tyberion | are basic applications like gmplayer set to use pulseaudio? | 21:35 |
| CyD | tyberion: could try xine, make sure it's using alsa. that's the standard at least when it's in kde, doesn't cause problems for me | 21:35 |
| soundray | DrX: in most cases, no | 21:35 |
| tyberion | CyD: I checked mplayer options, Im using alsa there too | 21:36 |
| tyberion | so alsa is able to playback multiple instances? | 21:36 |
| tyberion | Tundrayeti312: what did pulseaudio -k , -D do? | 21:36 |
| soundray | DrX: if the partition is not the root partition, you may find relevant messages in /var/log/syslog | 21:36 |
| Tundrayeti312 | tyberion: That could be the fix then... if you are running pulseaudio w/ alsa packages and all your apps are using alsa, it works well to avoid one app hogging your soundcard hw..... that kills and starts the pulseaudio daemon | 21:36 |
| Andy80 | hi all | 21:36 |
| Ganandorf | i followed the instructions on the following website http://rockmanx.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/make-your-linux-ubuntu-look-like-a-mac-hardy-heron/ things were fine until three days later when i boot the system freezes at the load up screen i was told its a kernel panic how to i resolve this ps I cannot get into that hard drive with ubuntu 8.04 64bit | 21:36 |
| zerko | can someone point me to the right doc to upgrade from 6.6 to 8.4 please? | 21:37 |
| DrX | soundray: is there something I can search for versus manually reading through it? | 21:37 |
| tyberion | Tundrayeti312: alright, thanks taht really helped me, but whats the advantage of pulseaudio over alsa?? Since Im going to use 5.1 in few days, will alsa be fine with that? | 21:37 |

| Tundrayeti312 | tyberion: absolutely 5.1 will work, there is a config file in pulse ( check their website ) where you have to change default channels from 2 t0 ( in your case ) 6 .... well pulseaudio works as a 'sound server' so that many apps can share the hw.. alsa is more of a sound card driver | 21:39 |

| strumica | jin: yes | 21:50 |
| jin | strumica, what does the error log say? | 21:50 |

| Dreamglider | can i is a firewall installed by default in ubuntu ? | 21:50 |
| soundray | !firewall > Dreamglider | 21:50 |
| ubottu | Dreamglider, please see my private message | 21:50 |
| ikonia | Dreamglider: iptables is installed by default | 21:50 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: nope i can't get in it just freezes and now these days it reboots after it sticks for a while | 21:51 |
| strumica | jin: apache error log doesn't say anything | 21:51 |
| ikonia | strumica: then there is something wrong as it should | 21:51 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: please read carefully and answer my question | 21:51 |
| ikonia | strumica: access log and the error log, check them | 21:51 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: have you *ever* booted successfully after you followed those instructions? | 21:51 |
| strumica | ikonia: checking error log | 21:51 |
| Ashkore | Okay I installed a mozilla-plugin-gnash package and ive made progress, it doesnt ask for a new version of flash to be installed but theres no flash video just a blank square where it would be | 21:51 |
| jin | strumica, then check the access log too , it should be in the same directory as the errolog | 21:52 |
| woddf2 | danbh_intrepid: I am using 8.04 Hardy Heron. | 21:52 |
| woddf2 | It appears that any /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at all breaks X. | 21:52 |
| danbh_intrepid | woddf2: yeah, I dunno | 21:52 |
| ikonia | mgroman: welcome back | 21:52 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: sorry yes i have three days in succession | 21:52 |
| woddf2 | Even running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg breaks it. | 21:52 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: but now nothing | 21:52 |
| bronzewalla84 | can't get vlc to play an mp3, i also have no sound, is this a codec issue? | 21:52 |

| Andy80 | soundray, the problema is this.... when you switch to another language, it ask you three things: do you want this is the new default language, only this session or cancel? there's NO WAY to use the old language... | 21:53 |
| ikonia | strumica: there you go then | 21:53 |
| jin | bronzewalla84, more likely a sound problem, not codec | 21:53 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: then your problem has probably nothing to do with the changes you made | 21:53 |
| zerko | hey | 21:53 |
| zerko | soundray | 21:53 |
| zerko | these instructions are for GUI | 21:53 |
| zerko | I only have shell access =( | 21:53 |
| Andy80 | soundray, Now I'll try this on a pc with Ubuntu 8.04 but I think the behaviour is the same | 21:53 |
| bronzewalla84 | jin, how would i go about checking this? | 21:53 |
| magnetron | Andy80→ you know what "cancel" does? | 21:53 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: what could it be then | 21:53 |
| strumica | ikonia: i see index.php in /var/www, how come error log says it does not exist? | 21:53 |
| soundray | Andy80: I can't support intrepid here, and nobody else can. The channel #ubuntu+1 is there for you | 21:54 |
| jin | bronzewalla84, do youget sound using another application to play media files? | 21:54 |
| bronzewalla84 | no | 21:54 |
| ikonia | strumica: /var/www/jamoola/index.php | 21:54 |
| ikonia | strumica: read the error log | 21:54 |
| bronzewalla84 | i also have no system sounds | 21:54 |
| Andy80 | magentar, Cancel, prompt you again for username/password | 21:54 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: can you boot in recovery mode? | 21:54 |
| zerko | soundray these instructions are for GUI, I only have SSH access | 21:54 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: no | 21:54 |
| soundray | zerko: no, they aren't | 21:54 |
| soundray | zerko: I said Section 3 point 3. That's for command line. | 21:55 |
| jin | bronzewalla84, so your sound system is not working. what sound card you got? | 21:55 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: what happens when you try? | 21:55 |
| natbet | how do you design/edit a mouse cursor? What programs would you use? | 21:55 |

| Ganandorf | soundray: it freezes the same it just sticks at the load up scree n | 21:55 |
| jin | bronzewalla84, should work out of the box. please check the volumes | 21:55 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: can you boot a live CD? | 21:56 |
| jin | bronzewalla84, double click on the volume icon on your panel.. make sure the volume bars are not set to muted | 21:56 |
| bronzewalla84 | jin, i've checked and checked again | 21:56 |
| ezzieyguywu1 | specifically, rpm -i [rpm package] returns ' can't create transaction lock on /var/lock/rpm/transaction ' | 21:56 |
| zerko | sorry | 21:56 |
| zerko | I see it now | 21:56 |
| ikonia | ezzieyguywu1: why are you using rpm on ubuntu | 21:56 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: no i tried three even the one i installed from and nothing when i do so it keeps rebooting | 21:56 |
| ezzieyguywu1 | ikonia: oh. the school comp is redhat. i thought you guys might be able to help though | 21:57 |
| jin | bronzewalla84, open the volume window then Edit->preferences. check all boxes. then go back to the window window | 21:57 |
| * mgroman throws smoke bomb | 21:57 | |

| jin | bronzewalla84, then try different options in the volume windows... | 21:58 |
| bronzewalla84 | jin, thank you very very much | 21:58 |
| iamelite | errors while configuring apt | 21:58 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: i never tried that since the hard drive is a brand new one | 21:58 |
| bronzewalla84 | i checked all the boxes and everything worked, i think it was the IEC one that did it | 21:58 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: memtest86 has nothing to do with hard drives | 21:58 |

| Ganandorf | soundray: ok what is it used for cause at present on my 500 gig i am running the same ubuntu 8.04 64bit that i installed on that other one | 22:00 |
| ikonia | ogre: probably just your torrents sources are slow | 22:00 |
| bronzewalla84 | jin, no i cannot and my headphone jack also doesn't wok | 22:00 |

| iamelite | someone please, ive had so many issues ive been trying to get this I-Macincrap installed for 3 days. Finalyl got it into the GUI and now i get this "bad archive mirror" error | 22:00 |
| jin | bronzewalla84, then right click on the the volume icon and chose preferences | 22:00 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: memtest86 is used to check for faulty RAM | 22:00 |
| jin | bronzewalla84, in the popup windows, select the one that worked for you to change the volume | 22:01 |
| ogre | ikonia: yeah, i thought of that but that doesnt explain the fact that I cant load webpages whilst downloading. I am using less than a quarter of total bw and barely any ul speed | 22:01 |
| ikonia | ogre: what happens when you try to view a webpage | 22:01 |
| ogre | ikonia: it just lags till it times out | 22:01 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: hmmm but the system is running fine with this hard drive which has ubuntu 8.04 64bit installed same thing thats installed on the one thats not booting | 22:02 |
| ikonia | ogre: check your name server settings | 22:02 |
| bronzewalla84 | jin, i changed it from capture to HDA Intel (ALSA Mixer, and i can now adjust the volume, but i still get no sound in headphone jack | 22:02 |

| Andy80 | soundray, no one replies on ubuntu+1 :D | 22:02 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: I see, then your hardware is okay | 22:02 |

| soundray | Ganandorf: if you didn't install the system on the hardware where you are trying to boot, that could be the problem. Do a fresh installation. | 22:04 |

| ikonia | ogre: do you get a list of IP's | 22:06 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: can you please describe the whole problem from the beginning. Leave out the bit about the rockmanx instructions, as we have established that they weren't the cause of the problem. | 22:06 |
| ogre | ikonia: yeah | 22:06 |
| ikonia | ogre: thats a reasonable start | 22:06 |
| ikonia | ogre: and I assume you can ping www.google.com | 22:06 |

| ikonia | iamelite: what ? | 22:07 |
| ogre | ikonia: yes I can ping it | 22:07 |
| ikonia | ogre: ok, so the specific must be related to firefox, I suggest 1.) you are marked as online mode in firefox 2.) you are not using a proxy | 22:07 |
| bassinboy | how can i check to make sure the s2ram_do resource is available? | 22:08 |
| soundray | iamelite: obi wan will ignore you until you learn to type out "you are" | 22:08 |
| ogre | ikonia: hrm. maybe i set up proxy stuff but i dont remember doing it on this installation | 22:09 |
| ikonia | ogre: most common is firefox in offline mode | 22:09 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: well on that dive i did a fresh installation of ubuntu 8.04 64bit installed simple stuff like compiz manager deluge and exaile saw the site followed the instructions and everything was fine until three days after it won't boot i came on here a guy said it may be a kernel panic cause he told me to press enter at start up and remove two things to get a description of the error it said something about not synchronizing cannot mount root | 22:10 |
| oriez | does proxy (like Tor) will prevent u from packet sniffing? | 22:10 |
| llll | how do i auto start firestarter on every reboot or when kde starts? i followed http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php but didnt worked. any help? iam using kubuntu | 22:10 |

| Ganandorf | soundray: yeah | 22:10 |

| jin | llll, System->Preferences->Sessions | 22:11 |
| jrib | vassler: you already have it. Why? | 22:12 |

| soundray | Ganandorf: what kind of hard disk drives are they? SATA? | 22:12 |
| unitedpotsmokers | soundray, thanks for reply.. yes i used interpid before. but format my hard drive again and install hardy heron.. it is because when i try to log in to ubuntu, it looks like have problem.. my laptop make noise like buzzing many times... | 22:12 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: yeah they are western digital | 22:12 |
| Ashkore | Alright so Gnash apparantly loads for youtube but i dont see the movie loading just a blank square | 22:13 |
| iamelite | SO let me tell you a story. I got this Imac g3 Computer thing, loaded with os 9.1. I was like hey cool, a new computer. So i tried to get online and watch some videos, diddnt work the OS was too old to support flash. So i downloaded the PowerPC Live Xubuntu install disk, so happy that i would finally be able to get rid of the crap Mac OS and make it a real computer. Upon boot it died before it got to the kernel. So i asked the almighty | 22:13 |
| llll | jin using kde. cant find systerm?pref | 22:13 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: do you also have PATA devices in your machine? | 22:13 |
| jin | llll, try #kubuntu | 22:13 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: i don't know what are those | 22:13 |
| iamelite | I solved that with the nosplash append, got myself loading the kernel, I was so excited. But when it began to Load X it took a crap on me and the Kernel read "Fatal server error: No screens found." | 22:13 |
| llll | k | 22:14 |
| ikonia | iamelite: thats just an xserver error | 22:14 |
| vassler | jrib: i wanted to know how i get my windows to look like glass? windows aero have glass boarders, i want to know if i can have the entire window look like glass? | 22:14 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: they are the old style ATA devices that are connected via a broad ribbon cable rather than a narrow red one | 22:14 |
| ikonia | iamelite: be nicer and better if you could describe your problems with a little more detail and manners towards people in the room | 22:14 |
| iamelite | So i appened the xorg.conf with manual entrys through nano wich is annoying enough, and it diddnt work, then i hooked up an external monitor to a port i accidentilly found, then after yet annother manual appent to the monitor refresh rates it FINALLY BOOT UP!!!! | 22:14 |
| jrib | vassler: maybe with some emerald theme? | 22:14 |
| iamelite | Then i hit install and i was sooo happy that it started and I see "Installing System" and the bar progresses to 83% then stops... | 22:15 |
| iamelite | "bad archive mirror" when it configured APT, Holy hannah, I hate apple so bad. and good hasnt a clue how to fix it. | 22:15 |

| RandyboY | I want to put the login info for my present connected wireless network in /etc/network/interfaces... Where can i get the correct info for how to choose info to put in interfaces? (I ofcourse know my wap-key) Where can i find examples of how to set it up? | 22:16 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: hmmm well my dvd drives are ide they have a broad ribbon like cable buts its white | 22:16 |
| ikonia | RandyboY: good few results on google | 22:16 |
| iamelite | SO my question is... | 22:16 |
| RandyboY | ikonia, think i didnt have the right search phrases, cause i didnt get any | 22:16 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: and thats it no other cables but power | 22:17 |
| iamelite | 83% the install stops with "bad archive mirror" when configuring apt, is there any way to fix that? | 22:17 |
| ikonia | RandyboY: try ubuntu /etc/network/interfaces wirless | 22:17 |
| LjL | iamelite: that's while doing what, installing from the desktop CD? | 22:17 |
| jin | RandyboY, why don't you use network-manager to remember your password? | 22:17 |
| gsiener | someone ran apt-get upgrade on a server of ours (8.04.1), and upgraded the kernel from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-21. Is there an easy way to roll back this change? | 22:17 |
| RandyboY | ikonia, got it :) | 22:17 |
| ikonia | RandyboY: super | 22:17 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: okay, so you're mixing SATA and PATA devices, which sometimes causes trouble. To verify this, you could disconnect all hard disk drives and try booting the live CD-ROM. If that boots and doesn't panic, you've identified the problem. | 22:17 |
| Aggrav8d | hi! i have ~20 virtual hosts on my 7.04 server. the wrong virtual host is showing up as the default server. how do i force a particular virtual host definition as the default? | 22:18 |
| ikonia | gsiener: the old kernel should still be installed | 22:18 |
| ikonia | gsiener: look at your grub boot options | 22:18 |
| iamelite | LjL, Yes desktop CD | 22:18 |
| ikonia | Aggrav8d: define virtual host | 22:18 |
| gsiener | ikonia: is there a way to define which boots by default? | 22:18 |
| soundray | LjL: mind you, PPC | 22:18 |
| thiebaude | gssiener:when you re-boot the computer then press esc should give a list of kernels, if it wasnt deleted | 22:18 |
| LjL | soundray: oh | 22:18 |
| Aggrav8d | ikonia - <virtualhost *:80> ? | 22:18 |
| ikonia | gsiener: define what you mean by a virtual host | 22:19 |
| Aggrav8d | name-based virtual hosts | 22:19 |
| ikonia | gsiener: sorry, wrong person | 22:19 |
| ikonia | gsiener: yes, the default option in grub's menu.lst | 22:19 |
| taamodt | hi.relatively new to ubuntu and linux. Installed newest Ubuntu on AMD 64 bit and have got sound and graphics up and running. I have tried to follow several of the guides/forum descriptions online on how to install Flash, and thought that I had done it correctly, but when I go to Youtube.com for example it will only show me a gray screen... Does anyone know what I should do to make this work? (it is a brand new computer and I bought it wihout | 22:19 |
| taamodt | and have only installed Ubunutu on it) | 22:19 |
| gsiener | thanks | 22:19 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: ok so disconnect all my hard drives and boot from a live cd if it works then that could be the problem so how would i fix it cause i never encountered it since i bought the system winblows ran fine and all my other ubuntu installations worked great | 22:19 |
| ikonia | Aggrav8d: the "first" virtual host listed is the default | 22:19 |
| jin | taamodt, I think that is a known issue.. I suggest Ubuntu 32bit since adobe just release flash 10 32bit for Linux | 22:20 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: I don't know a fix, but there is a bug report on launchpad. You might want to check that for workarounds or solutions. | 22:20 |
| Aggrav8d | yeah, but ubuntu apache does that stupid thing with "Include sites-enabled/" which could pull them in any order (and it doesn't appear to be alphabetical). Surely there's a way around this without modding the whole process. | 22:21 |
| iamelite | ok ill get creative. Is it possible to disable the apt configuration to the install. Can i edit the live installer configuration to use a default apt list of mirrors. or completely take it out and let it think about it after the kernel is installed to the drive? | 22:21 |
| karab44_ | what means debports | 22:21 |
| karab44_ | ? | 22:21 |
| taamodt | jin: ok, so the best option is to install Ubuntu 32 bit rather than the 64? there is no good way around it? | 22:21 |
| Aggrav8d | ikonia - yeah, but ubuntu apache does that stupid thing with "Include sites-enabled/" which could pull them in any order (and it doesn't appear to be alphabetical). Surely there's a way around this without modding the whole process. | 22:21 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: the strange thing is i cannot mount the drive on any other ubuntu running harddrive they all restart and in winblows even though i installed something to read ext3 so i could get my data of it that does not work and keeps asking me to format the drive which i don't want to do | 22:22 |
| jin | taamodt, I don't know. there should be a workaround for flash on 64bit but it's very badly supported. | 22:22 |
| joshua24 | is there an sha1 sum checker with a gnome GUI? | 22:22 |
| jrib | taamodt: around what? | 22:22 |
| ikonia | Aggrav8d: it's not any order, should be the top one in the include list | 22:22 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: where would i find the bug report | 22:22 |
| gsiener | ikonia: okay, updated menu.lst. Do I need to run anything to set that change? Assuming I don't | 22:22 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: on launchpad. It has a search engine. | 22:22 |
| ikonia | gsiener: nope, reboot and your done | 22:22 |
| jrib | jin, taamodt: flash works fine on 64bit | 22:22 |
| taamodt | jrid/jin: I was asking if the only real option when having a 64 bit Ubuntu and having Flash that wont play is to reinstall Ubuntu 32 bit. | 22:23 |
| gsiener | ikonia: awesome, easier than I thought! | 22:23 |
| taamodt | jrib: ok, then I would really appreciate some guidance:) | 22:23 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: can you post a link to the site | 22:23 |

| grendal_prime | I need to take an avi and convert it to a wmv so that lameass windows users can view this with the standard codecs on windows.. I was using acidrip but i cant figure out wich video codec would result in a wmv format? | 22:23 |
| zerko | soundray, during this upgrade I am seeing: | 22:23 |
| zerko | http://pastebin.com/m4bb1edc0 | 22:23 |
| jrib | taamodt: just install flashplugin-nonfree. Ubuntu automatically uses nspluginwrapper so you can use 32bit flash | 22:23 |
| jin | jrib, I think that's a workaround to make it work, there is no official 64bit release of flash for Linux | 22:23 |
| ikonia | Aggrav8d: mine responds to the same order in the file | 22:23 |
| zerko | http://pastebin.com/m4bb1edc0 and a few fails.. should I worry about these? | 22:23 |
| grendal_prime | currently..the file was made with an xvid4 codec. | 22:24 |
| soundray | zerko: you can safely ignore this warning. | 22:24 |
| grendal_prime | not that it maters | 22:24 |
| zerko | all of them? | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Ganandorf: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 22:24 |
| jrib | jin: you're right that adobe doesn't help, but nspluginwrapper can be used (and installing flashplugin-nonfree on 64bit automatically sets that up) | 22:24 |
| zerko | alot of it is giving this error | 22:24 |
| soundray | zerko: yes, all of them | 22:24 |
| zerko | ok cool | 22:24 |
| taamodt | jrib: then after installing flashplugin-non free then it should work automatically? | 22:24 |
| zerko | is it almost done? heh | 22:24 |
| Jeruvy | DrX: ya raid 5 is notorious for hiding bad volumes :) good to hear you found it. | 22:24 |
| zerko | it takes a while | 22:24 |
| jin | jrib, do you get the same performance as flash 10 32bit? | 22:24 |
| jrib | taamodt: and restarting your browser, yeah | 22:25 |
| jrib | jin: I haven't bothered with flash 10 | 22:25 |
| joshua24 | ? | 22:25 |
| soundray | taamodt: you have to restart your browser, and you may have to remove gnash if you've installed that before. | 22:25 |
| Ganandorf | soundray: thanks for your time and help man i hope i get this fixed | 22:25 |
| jin | jrib, flash 10 is a big step forward compared to 9. | 22:25 |
| soundray | Ganandorf: good luck | 22:25 |
| llll | where do i put a command . after exit 0 or before? in /etc/rc.local ? | 22:25 |
| jrib | jin: flash is one big step backward imo | 22:25 |
| taamodt | jrib/soundray: how do i remover the things i have already done? Such as Gnash.. | 22:25 |
| master__ | hi help me for sksystar2 remote and Lirc programing | 22:25 |

| WDC | Hey. I want to install VNC on Ubuntu Server Edition and be able to VNC to it, BUT I am not sure which packages I need for X. Help? | 22:25 |
| jrib | taamodt: remove their packages with a package manager like Synaptic | 22:26 |
| ikonia | WDC: just pull down vnc and it will pull down what x packages you need | 22:26 |

| jclbrt | i tried googling but couldnt find it | 22:26 |

| Stormx2 | jclbrt, check your browser history? | 22:27 |
| jrib | jclbrt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook_Santa_Rosa is basically what I use on my macbook. I imagine it should be similar for the pros but check the corresponding pages on the wiki | 22:27 |
| soundray | llll: it's enabled by default. You can disable it on the command line with 'sudo chmod -x /etc/rc.local', and re-enable it with 'sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local'. That's what's meant | 22:27 |
| jrib | taamodt: that should be fine | 22:27 |

| Some_Person | soundray: I am thinking along the lines of stretching the image so when usplash stretches it, it will look perfect | 22:32 |
| soundray | Some_Person: none that I know. You could remove "quiet splash" from your /boot/grub/menu.lst -- it makes for a more technocratic-looking boot process. | 22:32 |

| zerko | the old one works, newer doesn't | 22:56 |
| ricosecada | Killeroid, okay so there is just the stable release and a beta (development)? | 22:56 |
| taamodt | soundray: still no sound.. Any thoughts on what I might consider next? | 22:57 |
| soundray | mlins: no, I don't think it would -- definitely going back to gutsy wouldn't | 22:57 |
| soundray | taamodt: you have sound everywhere else, but not in flash? | 22:57 |

| soundray | zerko: can you do that and run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and 'sudo apt-get -f install'. They may be needed to finalize the upgrade. | 22:58 |
| zerko | does this actually mean 8.04 is installed? | 22:58 |
| soundray | zerko: yes | 22:58 |

| zerko | soundray how do I do that? | 23:10 |
| ChrisBookwood | Killeroid: sure it works, it only fires the /usr/bin/irssi though... If i remove /usr/bin/irssi from the alias, it does the 'cd' | 23:10 |
| soundray | zerko: pay attention | 23:10 |
| zerko | woops | 23:10 |
| jrib | ChrisBookwood: what's the point of that alias? | 23:11 |
| Killeroid | ChrisBookwood: what exaclty are you trying to to? it sounds to me the alais works perfectly, it changes to that directory and then starts irssi | 23:11 |
| zerko | ok, is this all I do soundray? also how do I delete it so the machine doesn't try to boot from this messed up kernel? | 23:11 |
| Killeroid | Arlianin: you have to tel us the brand/type of wireless card you have that is not working. then someone can help you | 23:12 |
| soundray | zerko: did the output all look normal? | 23:12 |

| Randal1 | can anyone help me? | 23:18 |
| jrib | Some_Person: maybe a little bit | 23:18 |
| Killeroid | ChrisBookwood: you are not calling the alias. since you aliased both commands to irssi, you have to type irssi from terminal, not ~/.irssi | 23:18 |
| DavidCanarias | GaMbi_DK: I don't have my Ubuntu program on disc. I would like to have a copy just in case!!!! | 23:18 |
| erUSUL | PoisonArrow: the new kernel of 8.10 (2.6.27) got support for that chips (a patch was added) so the new ubuntu supports it | 23:18 |
| dekkong | Arlianin: ok sry then i cant really help you I use a zyxel AG220 and it worked out of the box | 23:19 |

| ChrisBookwood | Killeroid: i think you misunderstood me... I've made a hack, that resizes the window if i go to ~/.irssi ... Now i want to be able to just type 'irssi' in the terminal, and then it goes to ~/.irssi and then start up irssi (which will now be in a resized terminal( | 23:20 |

| DavidCanarias | GaMbi_DK: Thks. My first installation was direct as a download. I then updated to Hardy. Do you mean to say I have to download again directly to disc? | 23:21 |
| soundray | zerko: I'll hang around to see if it works (but not for too much longer) | 23:21 |
| zerko | so if this works I basically have upgraded from 6 to 8.04 with the newest kernel? | 23:21 |

| loooth | ndube: how long should i wait before asking again | 23:22 |
| GaMbi_DK | DavidCanarias, ofc you can burn down the file you used last time.. as long as it can be on the disk "size and all"... but the livedisk is really nice to have and easy to install | 23:22 |
| Pici | hipdad: Best to ask the Ubuntu Studio people that, check out #ubuntustudio | 23:23 |
| griffin_ | exit | 23:23 |
| hipdad | thx pici | 23:23 |

| pi-meson | I have several files / directories in my homedir with app-specific information (like .evolution, firefox, gaim, etc.) I now have a new computer, that I plan on installing ibex on. Is there a centralized place that will tell me how to move my data from my old machine to my new machine? I could just copy dotfiles and directories, but I worry about file version differences. | 23:26 |
| soundray | zerko: and maybe do a full backup and try an intrepid upgrade when that is out | 23:26 |
| soundray | zerko: it may also be worth having a look at boot options | 23:26 |

| dekkong | DavidCanarias: Ubuntu uses Gnome and Kubuntu KDE | 23:29 |
| ChrisBookwood | jrib: window rule's your friend | 23:29 |
| jrib | ChrisBookwood: ah, because the title changed? | 23:29 |

| dekkong | DavidCanarias: np :) | 23:30 |
| jrib | ChrisBookwood: check out wmctrl | 23:30 |
| Randal1 | so it shows invalid driver when i use the command ndiswrapper -l | 23:30 |
| dekkong | Randal1: what wireless adapter is it? | 23:30 |
| al | how do you change the nice value in command line | 23:31 |
| emorris | hi, what is this restricted driver "wl" which come down on updates yesterday? | 23:31 |
| Randal1 | Trendnet 424UB | 23:31 |
| unkmar | I have tried everything I can find to get this ATI 9200 Pro to work Dual head. | 23:31 |
| ChrisBookwood | jrib: wouldn't it be possible with alias? it seems like a nicer way of doing it | 23:31 |
| carrera | is it ok to create swap as RAID0, or is RAID5 better just incase a drive fails? | 23:31 |
| unkmar | I get Clone. | 23:31 |
| jrib | al: nice for a new command, renice for an already-running command | 23:31 |
| crimsun | emorris: it's a driver for the bcm4315 | 23:31 |
| X-plo | Hello, I'm trying to use my dub-h7 d-link with 7 usb ports, I would like to know if some one can give me a hand to configure this. | 23:31 |

| cristhian | hello any spyke spanish | 23:31 |
| joaopinto | !es | cristhian | 23:31 |
| ubottu | cristhian: 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. | 23:31 |
| emorris | crimsun: i already have one for that. is that different? | 23:32 |
| emorris | how is** | 23:32 |
| jrib | ChrisBookwood: though really it may be easier to just write a small shell script instead of an alias | 23:32 |
| X-plo | cristhian, go to ubuntu-es channel | 23:32 |
| crimsun | emorris: I.e., bundled on quite a few laptops (that no longer have to use ndiswrapper, as this is a native Linux driver) | 23:32 |
| cristhian | ok | 23:32 |
| cristhian | tak you | 23:32 |
| ChrisBookwood | jrib: i will try that, | 23:32 |
| idimmu | carrera: thats something my team has wondered forever | 23:32 |
| X-plo | Hello, I'm trying to use my dub-h7 d-link with 7 usb ports, I would like to know if some one can give me a hand to configure this. | 23:33 |
| dekkong | Randal1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) | 23:33 |
| Randal1 | So i have a Trendnet 424UB wireless USB and it tells me "invalid driver!" when i use ndiswrapper -v i'm not sure if i installed ndiswrapper incorrectly. But i know the driver is right | 23:33 |
| emorris | crimsun: I already had, and still have "Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver", but why "wl" as well? | 23:33 |
| crimsun | emorris: b43 or wl? They're different drivers. | 23:33 |
| GaMbi_DK | just did a reinstall.. before it I had access to the desktop effects (super+e to go to overview etc..) now the icon "System -> Preference -> [Advanced Appearance](or something like that)" is gone | 23:33 |
| unkmar | I am unable to get my ATI 9200 Pro to work Dual Head. Clone works, OS: ubuntu 8.04 LTS | 23:33 |
| GaMbi_DK | anyone knows how to access it? | 23:33 |
| crimsun | emorris: I.e., each drives distinct hardware. | 23:33 |
| al | ok changed the nice value. will this make converting a video file faster | 23:34 |
| Pici | GaMbi_DK: You need to install ccsm for that to show up. | 23:34 |
| Pici | !ccsm | GaMbi_DK | 23:34 |
| ubottu | GaMbi_DK: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 23:34 |
| carrera | thanks idimmu, perhaps you can answer this question: what happens if one of my 3 drives in RAID0 for swap fails? | 23:34 |
| cchapman | GaMbi_DK: you have to install ccsm | 23:34 |
| Killeroid | emorris: b43 is a reverse enginenred driver, wl is released directly from the manufacturer, wl is the best driver | 23:34 |
| emorris | crimsun: well b43 i installed, but wl seemed to install itself the other day on updates | 23:34 |
| GaMbi_DK | thx alot pici and cchapman | 23:34 |
| emorris | Killeroid: ah, ok, so should i get rid of b43 then? | 23:34 |
| EdLin | does anyone out there have a Dell Mini 9 with Ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| Tonno | Can i put a Crack game in WINE? | 23:35 |
| Killeroid | restricted hardware drivers > uncheck b43 and select wl | 23:35 |
| idimmu | carrera: never been there, i think raid >0 is best for swap iir | 23:35 |
| dekkong | Tonno: yes u can | 23:35 |
| emorris | Killeroid: ok, they are both checked now, so I guess I'll just uncheck b43 | 23:35 |
| Killeroid | emorris: yeah, do so | 23:36 |
| emorris | crimsun, Killeroid: ok, thanks both for your help | 23:36 |
| carrera | idimmu, do u mean RAID1 or higher? | 23:37 |
| Tonno | dekkong, how? I ask how because I click to the . exe so then it must open in WINE, but i doesn't do anything | 23:37 |
| idimmu | redundant, so raid 1 or highter, i.e. not raid 0 | 23:37 |

| DasEi | malibu: I just came in, your question ? | 23:50 |
| BCM34 | crimsun: oh, so you need a script? | 23:50 |
| malibu | I want to know what you use to do it.. | 23:50 |
| ChrisBookwood | jrib: didn't try... I thouhgt you said a shell script would be smarter? | 23:50 |
| Shakedown | BCM34: No, OO looks fine | 23:50 |
| paggas | juak: are the gateways doing nat? if not, i guess a connection will be using both of them at the same time | 23:50 |
| crimsun | BCM34: if you know all the commands, you can script them. | 23:50 |
| jrib | ChrisBookwood: wmctrl is a command. If you choose to use an alias, then you'll put wmctrl somewhere in it. But I thought it would be easier if you instead used a shell script so you could organize things better. You would still use wmctrl and irssi in there | 23:50 |
