| Killeroid | radovich: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and find the line that says default 0, 0 means grub bootas the first option by default, so if you change it to 1 it will boot the second option by default and viceversa | 00:02 |

| log_nick | it can...but i use xorg | 00:15 |
| log_nick | emorris both options are available.. | 00:15 |

| krlitos | hey i am having trouble enableing my desktop effects after enableing my card | 00:17 |
| log_nick | emorris im on a gateway laptop... | 00:17 |
| === mk is now known as Guest20398 | ||
| csilk | krlitos, what card? | 00:17 |
| Killeroid | emorris: basically, the new wl driver cant subside with the ssb, b43 driver but your modem uses the b44 driver which relies on the ssb driver. so for wl to work, you hav to blacklist b43, b44 and ssb but then you can use wired connections cos your modem deosnt have a driver. | 00:17 |
| Killeroid | so you have to choose between using b43 and keeping your modem driver or using wl and having a really fast wireless connection but not being able to use a wired connection. | 00:17 |
| Guest20398 | , | 00:17 |
| emorris | Killeroid: yes? is it anything to do with this really bad network bug in intrepid? | 00:17 |

| emorris | Killeroid: ssb? | 00:18 |
| krlitos | ok | 00:18 |
| Killeroid | emorris: ssb module, both b43 and b44(the modem driver) rely on it | 00:19 |
| DINK | If I'm trying recover a fat32 partition that been partitioned to a different FS with TestDisk, should I partition the drive back to fat32 before running TestDisk or other recovery software? | 00:19 |
| emorris | Killeroid: ok, thanks. i'll probably stick with b43 for now. it works. | 00:20 |

| === treker is now known as plonkee | ||
| krlitos | i am new at this | 00:21 |
| Killeroid | emorris: yeah, i always use wireless so it was easy for me to just switch to wl and junk the b43,b44, ssb driver. when i want to use a wired connection, i just manually unload the wl driver and then load the b44 and ssb driver | 00:21 |
| storrgie | Can anyone help me with some wireless issues | 00:21 |
| Killeroid | !ask | storrgie | 00:21 |
| ubottu | storrgie: 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. :-) | 00:21 |

| krlitos | i enable my card drivers and when i am going to enable my desktop effects it says that it can not be enable | 00:23 |
| Killeroid | emorris: i use the wired connection, once in every month, so its perfect for me to use the wl for the rest fo the time. faster speeds when i sue wl instead of b43 | 00:23 |

| storrgie | I have a WRT56G, Ralink chipset. It was just connected to my wireless network, when I restarted it connects to the network but says 0%, and I cant get an IP | 00:29 |
| Killeroid | emorris: signal quality is better, b43 used to output a lot of errors ito my system log, no more errors ever since i started using wl. Personall, the greatest perk is the speed. very vast difference for me. | 00:30 |
| DINK | If I'm trying recover a fat32 partition that been partitioned to a different FS with TestDisk, should I partition the drive back to fat32 before running TestDisk or other recovery software? | 00:31 |
| DINK | or if anyone can point me in the direction of a chanel might be able to help | 00:32 |
| Killeroid | DINK: you most probably wont be able to recover anything since you wiped the old partition and then installed a few FS. ask in ##linux but i am pretty sure they will tell you the same | 00:33 |
| DasEi | DINK:its not formatted yet ? only parti-table ? | 00:33 |
| Killeroid | DasEi: since he repartitioned to a different FS, he most definitely formatted it | 00:35 |
| storrgie | how do you force restart a wireless card? | 00:35 |

| DINK | thiebaude: This is on an auxilarly drive | 00:36 |
| DINK | so no | 00:36 |
| DasEi | DINK:if you formatted, it'll be quite impossible to recover any data | 00:36 |
| Killeroid | ubuntu_todd: use elinks | 00:36 |
| LjL | ubuntu_todd: are you looking for a text-mode web browser? | 00:36 |
| ubuntu_todd | Yes. | 00:36 |
| Killeroid | ubuntu_todd: sudo apt-get install elinks | 00:36 |
| LjL | ubuntu_todd: try one of these - elinks, lynx, w3m, edbrowse, netrik | 00:36 |

| LjL | ubuntu_todd: no. next to no websites do. these browsers just let you see *normal* websites as text. | 00:39 |
| DINK | DasEi: because I'm running TestDisk right now and it's just taking bloody forever and I'm wondering If I should have partitioned it back to fat32 because I might be able to recover data that way if can work in a fat32 environment (it's looking like it's going to take ~3 days to complete the scan) | 00:39 |
| storrgie | i am having issues with my wireless card can anyone help me, it is a WRT56G, and was working 10 minutes ago... i dont know how to troubleshoot it | 00:39 |
| krlitos | what are the reason why i could not ennable my desktop effects after installing my card and compiz | 00:39 |
| ubuntu_todd | Killeroid: So what's the advantage of using text websites? | 00:40 |
| DasEi | DINK:can you tell a litttle mre about the environment ? ubuntu machine ? sys drive ? steps taken until now ? | 00:41 |
| DINK | DasEi: it was an external 1TB drive that I was moving files off of (to be backed up :/ ) and I thought I had all the files off of it so I turned the drive into HFS+ but then realized that I hadn't moved off all the data | 00:41 |
| Killeroid | ubuntu_todd: i dont understand your question. if you are asking the advantages of using a text browser, then i guess, i use a text browser when i have no need to render the imageso n a website , i just want t read | 00:41 |
| ubuntu_todd | Killeroid: Same for me. But it is a little bit difficult to use. Cause I have used the GUI for many many years. | 00:42 |
| LjL | ubuntu_todd: err... then use the GUI | 00:42 |
| thiebaude | killeroid:too many commands in w3m, the text browser, didnt even know where to enter a web address | 00:43 |
| storrgie | comon noone has ever had to diagnose wireless problems? i would just like to know where to start | 00:43 |

| * mgroman is wondering ... who let the dawggs out?!?!oneone! | 00:44 | |
| LjL | khalood: you can use the extended (and create logical partitions in it), if you want | 00:44 |
| LjL | khalood: but you can have up to 4 primary partitions, so do you really need an extended? | 00:45 |
| LjL | !offtopic | mgroman | 00:45 |
| ubottu | mgroman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:45 |
| khalood | LjL: no , because I already have it , so why creating a primary unless it has extra benefits | 00:45 |
| DasEi | DINK:I see, then testdisk is one solution, until you couldn't help with gparted (don't FORMAT!), also hdparm could help or pc inspector file recovery from a win machine, BUT try not make changes on and on on the disk | 00:46 |
| khalood | LjL: I already have 1 primary , 1 extended with 4 logical partitions | 00:46 |
| LjL | khalood: well, it can be slightly confusing sometimes with partition names | 00:46 |
| LjL | khalood: ah well, in that case you certainly need an extended, if you have 5 in total | 00:46 |

| thiebaude | elinks | 00:47 |
| khalood | LjL: no , there is only 1 primary , those 4 logically are inside the extended | 00:47 |
| musashi | LjL, yes. i'm aware. i usually play with beta versions this way or with a full install | 00:47 |
| LjL | khalood: right, so anyway you have 5 "real" partitions (stuff containing data) in total... one is a primary and four are logical | 00:47 |
| storrgie | Can anyone assist me in troubleshooting my wireless card? | 00:47 |
| khalood | LjL: yes | 00:47 |
| LjL | musashi: if you're aware then why are you asking here? | 00:47 |
| musashi | LjL, ah, missing the bit about the other channel. my bad | 00:48 |
| Killeroid | thiebaude: yeah, g to open a url , t to open new tab, insert to scroll up and delete to scrool down, plus elinks supports the mouse | 00:48 |
| khalood | LjL: should I create a primary for the ubuntu or make it beside the 4 logical | 00:48 |
| khalood | LjL: so they will be 6 in total ( adding a /swap ) | 00:48 |
| LjL | khalood, i'd make a primary personally | 00:49 |
| LjL | khalood: but it's really up to you | 00:49 |
| khalood | LjL: if they have similar benefits then i'd go with primiary | 00:50 |

| LjL | khalood, the only benefit the primary doesn't give you is the ability to later add even more primary partitions. but since it seems you already have a few, that might not be an issue. | 00:56 |

| dr_willis | krlitos, you must have the proper drivers set up for your video card first.. tell the channel your video card. If its ati/nvidia - the hardware-driver tool should set them up for you | 00:57 |

| krlitos | at the how to says that the driver for my card is nvidia-glx-legacy how i installit | 01:07 |
| people | question -- I got the NVidia drivers working great from the nvidia website itself everything is smooth compiz fusion works like magic | 01:08 |
| people | until i reboot | 01:08 |
| people | then X won't start at all I have to build the nvidia driver each time i boot up | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | krlitos, should be an icon at top right that runs the hardware-driver tool that should ask/download/install the proper drivers | 01:08 |
| DasEi | Guest85278: I never seen this for ext3, and harddrives became cheap | 01:08 |
| HymnToLife | people: most likely a conflict, have you properly uninstalled the version of the drivers that ship w/ Ubuntu? | 01:09 |
| people | no | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | krlitos, or fire up the package manager and manually install 'nvidia-glx-legacy' package.. or 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy' | 01:09 |
| people | its from the nvidia | 01:09 |
| people | website | 01:09 |
| DasEi | Guest85278: also next to performance it always was a problem with loosing data | 01:09 |
| people | those drivers don't work right | 01:09 |
| people | it always worked before, i just had to reinstall with a new HD now it doesnt | 01:09 |
| krlitos | ok it says is already the newest version | 01:10 |

| DasEi | jadams_:are u sing hardy or ibex ? | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | Ademan, not that i have ever seen.. You could perhaps use soft links , to make one directory that you want access to - appear somewhere. | 01:15 |

| jadams_ | DasEi, hardy, ibex fails with a panix | 01:16 |
| jadams_ | mneptok, will try | 01:16 |
| Ademan | dr_willis: that's unfortunate, since a fair number of applications have the ability to deal with soft links differently | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | Ademan, use hardlinks perhaps.. Ive hever had issues with software having issues with softlinks | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | That was redundant of me to repeate.. :) | 01:17 |
| Ademan | :-p | 01:17 |
| Ademan | the thing about hard links is they don't work across devices, and may not work across mount points, but i'll look into it, thanks | 01:18 |
| eitreach | I have a related problem with what must be a sata drive. I installed Hardy onto it a few months ago, and it was trouble free, right untill today, with no updates.

| arrrghhh | bruenig, well when i go to places and open a place it defaults to nautilus, i want it to default to nautilus | 01:23 |

| Ademan | dr_willis: think is i'm thinking about a laptop that I tote around alot, looking to get a netbook and set something like what i'm describing up | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | Ademan, /boot has the kernel stuff.. once the kernel is loaded.. /boot isent even needed.. gentoo dosent mount /boot by default. | 01:23 |

| ThePandemic82 | Hi. How easy is it to connect to a wireless network using Ubuntu? | 01:50 |
| wartalker | who know the driver of nvidia GM 8600 GT for kernel 2.6.27? | 01:50 |
| postersandguitar | jrib-Get this error: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " But when run nvidia-xconfig, the resolution goes out of range. | 01:51 |
| [TiZ] | ThePandemic82: If your wifi card is autodetected, it's as easy as a left-click on the network icon in the system tray. | 01:51 |
| nodealmsft | depends | 01:51 |
| Reaverbot | Does anyone know how to install a integrated microphone and web-cam? | 01:51 |
| jrib | postersandguitar: you can't edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put something in there that works? | 01:51 |
| postersandguitar | jrib- that never occured to me, what should I put in? | 01:52 |
| ThePandemic82 | ah ok cool. I am on a wired network, but I'm going to be installing ubuntu on my dad's computer and he is on a wireless network so..thanks for the info! He, like me, got tired of windows | 01:52 |
| JackOS | Wartalker: I belive so, but I havn't tested it myself | 01:52 |
| jrib | postersandguitar: what does it look like after nvidia-xconfig? | 01:52 |
| [TiZ] | ThePandemic82: Well, keep a copy of your windows wireless drivers handy. You may need to use ndisgtk to install them in ndiswrapper | 01:52 |
| ThePandemic82 | oh ok. | 01:53 |
| postersandguitar | jrib: after I restar the x-server, my monitor says out of range | 01:53 |
| ThePandemic82 | my dad's laptop is an HP dv9008nr | 01:53 |

| jrib | postersandguitar: edit the file before you restart it | 01:53 |
| ThePandemic82 | it's only about 1.5 years old | 01:53 |
| postersandguitar | jrib: I tried that, it has no listing for the resolution | 01:53 |
| [TiZ] | ThePandemic82: Mine's about that old. It uses the rtl8187 wifi chipset. Ubuntu's drivers for rtl8187 are _really_ bad. | 01:53 |
| ThePandemic82 | Is it a good idea to always upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu once it's released? | 01:54 |
| ThePandemic82 | hm | 01:54 |
| ThePandemic82 | ic | 01:54 |
| wartalker | JackOS: what you mean | 01:54 |
| jrib | ThePandemic82: up to you. If the current one is working and it's still supported, then don't unless you want to | 01:54 |
| postersandguitar | jrib: By the way, do you know why my update manager filled with stuff about KDE, libarts and cupsys? I don't use any of those. | 01:54 |

| postersandguitar | jrib: I tried | 01:55 |
| [TiZ] | ThePandemic82: If you have rtl8187 on yours, don't worry. The windows 98 drivers from realtek work _perfectly_ in ndiswrapper. Just use ndisgtk to install them. | 01:55 |
| dulak | ThePandemic82: I upgrade my workstation asap, but servers I leave on the LTS version | 01:55 |
| jrib | postersandguitar: if it's offering upgrades for packages, it's because you have them installed, probably as dependencies for some other programs | 01:55 |
| ThePandemic82 | well I'm a pretty new user when it comes to linux. Been using windows for about 9 years, but now I've seen the light..so to speak. | 01:55 |
| postersandguitar | jrib: k | 01:55 |
| postersandguitar | jrib: I tried whart you sent me already | 01:55 |
| [TiZ] | I know what you mean. I switched about four months ago. | 01:55 |
| jrib | postersandguitar: you set explicit modelines? | 01:56 |
| JackOS | I still can't belive I used anything else | 01:56 |
| ThePandemic82 | how do i install drivers from the windows disc if im running ubuntu??? how would I go about installing wireless drivers? | 01:56 |
| postersandguitar | jrib: Yeah, I still got out of range. For some reason nvidia-xconfig seems to set it out of range. | 01:56 |

| unitedpotsmokers | hello, good evening.. the simple question : how to update wine? | 01:56 |
| jrib | postersandguitar: you should be editing the file AFTER running nvidia-xconfig. nvidia-xconfig just edits /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:57 |

| JackOS | you need to add 2 more panels to get a cube | 01:57 |
| [TiZ] | Well, just copy the drivers off of the CD. Put them somewhere easy to get to, but out of your way. Before doing that, though, insert the ubuntu cd, and install ndisgtk from synaptic | 01:57 |
| GaMbi_DK | JackOS, really? :P yea I feel kinda stupid right now :P | 01:57 |

| [TiZ] | After installing ndisgtk and copying your wifi drivers somewhere, go System -> Admin. -> Windows Wireless Drivers. Click the install button and find the .inf file for your driver | 01:58 |
| [TiZ] | Uh. I use the Windows 98 driver here. | 01:58 |
| [TiZ] | I would suspect Win98 drivers aren't available on HP's site though | 01:58 |

| JackOS | ThePandemic: I belive you can play some source games on it, but I don't think that the installer works yet | 02:04 |

| renegade420 | jrib, I found out what the disk was called and mount it | 02:09 |
| ThePandemic82 | well i gotta get going...thanks again tiz! later | 02:09 |
| KINGTEKRIN | I would like to install Ubuntu Ultimate, but when I installed it on windows, it showed up as ubuntu intrepid, which is understandable, but when i boot up because i have to keep the cd in, its a fresh install of ultimate. I am using ultimate live right now. My question is, how do I install ubuntu from here, live, using the partition that windows is on? I'd basically like to steal some gigbs from that partition i guess | 02:10 |
| [TiZ] | AdamMoredo: Another distro entirely? Well, thanks for responding, at least. | 02:10 |
| renegade420 | jrib, I found out what the disk was called and mount it | 02:10 |
| jrib | renegade420: you need to pass a proper umask in the mount options | 02:10 |
| AdamMoredo | [TiZ]: No. Sabayon is a utility that creates images of desktop profiles. | 02:10 |
| jrib | !vfat > renegade420 | 02:10 |
| renegade420 | to like a file on the home | 02:10 |
| ubottu | renegade420, please see my private message | 02:10 |
| [TiZ] | Really? | 02:10 |
| [TiZ] | Hmm | 02:10 |
| AdamMoredo | [TiZ]: Also, with that attitude, you can go figure it out yourself. | 02:10 |
| [TiZ] | AdamMoredo: No, that's not what I mean. I am sincerely thanking you for responding. | 02:11 |
| braeker | tnx for the advice..... sorry im new to this OS , just want to learn it..... | 02:11 |
| [TiZ] | Every time I come here, I get the cold shoulder. My problems are too tough, or something, I guess. | 02:11 |
| AdamMoredo | Same here. | 02:11 |
| Doonz | hey guys quick question.. Can someone point me to a tutorial that will walk me through all the steps that will show me howto map a network drive on my ubuntu box from a win xp machine? | 02:11 |
| JackOS | King: try virtualizing it using VirtualBox. Your hardrive will thank you for not choping it up | 02:11 |
| theflamingpi__ | AdamMoredo: Isn't Sabayon a GNU/Linux distro? | 02:11 |
| Ttech | does anyone know how to setup mail server on a Ubuntu Server ( good docs)/ | 02:12 |
| theflamingpi__ | AdamMoredo: So far as I know, it's based on Gentoo. | 02:12 |
| AdamMoredo | theflamingpi__: Yes, but Sabayon is _also_ a desktop image generation program. | 02:12 |
| theflamingpi__ | AdamMoredo: Thanks. | 02:12 |
| citizen42alpha | Ttech: check howtoforge, they have brilliant server articles. | 02:12 |
| Ttech | citizen42alpha, thanks. | 02:12 |
| greedyb | Anyone using the new Flash10? | 02:12 |
| AdamMoredo | I remember strongly disliking GNOME a few years ago, and sabayon made my job so much easier, that I began to like GNOME a lot more just for that. | 02:13 |
| AdamMoredo | The equivalent process for KDE (at least KDE 3) was monstrous. | 02:13 |
| [TiZ] | Yeah, this website is definitely showing a full-blown distro. Hmm. Maybe I'm looking on the wrong place. | 02:13 |
| [TiZ] | I tried KDE once. I didn't like it. | 02:13 |
| AdamMoredo | [TiZ]: aptitude search sabayon | 02:13 |
| AdamMoredo | system administration tool to manage GNOME desktop settings | 02:13 |
| [TiZ] | Oh! Okay! | 02:14 |
| KINGTEKRIN | look...i just want to know how to take a chunk out of the vista partition. it has 140gb, it only needs 50. lol... I want linux the rest, but i DO NOT want to virtualize it | 02:14 |
| bungieQord | How do I display the table of contents of a .tar file through terminal? | 02:14 |
| zutme | i just installed from the livecd for 8.10 and when it rebooted I had a black screen which read GRUB in the top left with a blinking cursor next to it. I rebooted the livecd and I'm wondering how to avoid it this time | 02:14 |
| AdamMoredo | bungieQord: tar -tf <yourtarfile>. Also, read the man pages. | 02:14 |
| [TiZ] | Y | 02:14 |
| jrib | [TiZ]: admin guide at library.gnome.org has some documentation on sabayon as well | 02:14 |
| [TiZ] | Oops. That was supposed to go in tilda. Sorry. :P | 02:14 |
| [TiZ] | I'll check this sabayon tool out. :D | 02:15 |
| [TiZ] | Thank you, Adam. | 02:15 |
| AdamMoredo | No problem. | 02:15 |
| JackOS | I'm trying to virtualize a thin client system before I put it into practice at work. Does anyone know where good documentation can be found on setting it up in VirtualBox? | 02:15 |
| AdamMoredo | I don't even remember why I'm in here. | 02:15 |
| [TiZ] | I'll make sure to aptitude install it in my live CD too if I like it. :) | 02:15 |
| uman | Hello everyone. I have a really really big problem. I have windows xp installed under vmware workstation and I accidentally reverted back to an old snapshot and lost all my files and everything. I want to know if there is a way to undo the snapshot revert. If not, do you guys know what exactly happens when you go back to a snapshot? I mean, does the old .vmx (or entire virtual hdd partition) simply get erased and replaced by a new one? If so , I could simply | 02:16 |
| uman | [20:11] <uman> use recovery software to recover it right? Thanks. Which software do you recommend. | 02:16 |
| kitche | JackOS: well if virtualbox can do pxe booting it's pretty much the same as a real terminal | 02:16 |
| greedyb | Anyone using the new Flash10 ??? | 02:17 |
| jrib | uman: try #vmware | 02:17 |
| AdamMoredo | nalioth: wtf are you doing? | 02:17 |
| theflamingpi__ | greedyb: I'm installing it right now. | 02:18 |
| zutme | Does anyone know of a way in the livecd installer to make sure it sets up grub to boot because I ran it once and when i rebooted all I saw was a black screen with GRUB in the upper left corner and a blinking cursor | 02:18 |
| greedyb | theflamingpi__: you following any specific directions? | 02:18 |
| [TiZ] | I'm gonna take a break from my livecd (probably going to end up being a dvd) for now. See you later, guys. | 02:18 |
| theflamingpi__ | greedyb: Yeah. I went to the website, downloaded the deb, and installed it. | 02:18 |
| greedyb | theflamingpi__: ahh I heard some issues using the deb thats all.. I'll give it a try | 02:19 |
| uman | jrib Thanks, I did, but it seems I am the only active user in the vmware channel.. | 02:19 |
| Randal1 | I need help configuring my wireless internet can someone send me a PM? | 02:19 |
| jrib | uman: be patient, try their mailing list/forums too | 02:19 |
| theflamingpi__ | greedyb: I'm currently attempting to connect with youtube. | 02:19 |
| jrib | !wifi > Randal1 | 02:19 |
| ubottu | Randal1, please see my private message | 02:19 |
| theflamingpi__ | greedyb: Hopefully it won't crash or anything. | 02:19 |
| Samekh | eww, ubuntu :p | 02:21 |
| Randal1 | i have already made the wireless driver work but i was wondering how to configure it since my wireless has a WEP Key on it and the wifi doc told me to use some commands that i'm not sure of what they do | 02:21 |
| Randal1 | sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <AP NAME> ap <AP MAC ADDRESS> key <KEY IN HEX> sudo dhclient wlan0 so what does this mean? | 02:22 |
| JackOS | you should be able to do it via GUI | 02:22 |
| === Chirvo is now known as BigChirv | ||
| lucax | Randal1, try nm-applet... its much easier | 02:22 |
| Randal1 | how do i get that? | 02:23 |
| theflamingpi__ | greedyb: It worked fine, but i had to remove flashplugin-alternative.so from /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins | 02:23 |
| greedyb | theflamingpi__: thanks for the update I'll give it a shot and thanks for the tip | 02:23 |
| tidrion | is this an okay place to ask questions about 8.10 | 02:24 |
| tidrion | or do I need another room | 02:24 |
| jrib | tidrion: #ubuntu+1 (see the /topic) | 02:24 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | heeelp | 02:26 |
| postersandguitar | I'm fixing a problem with extremely low resolution, but the nvidia-settings window keeps jumping around. How do I make it stop | 02:26 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | error 18 | 02:26 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | on boot | 02:26 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | from grub after ubuntu updates | 02:26 |
| dr_willis | postersandguitar, clarify to the channel what you mean by 'jumping around' | 02:27 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | this is why I hate ubuntu, everytime I try to use it ..an update breaks it | 02:27 |
| postersandguitar | By jumping around I mean moving to random parts of the window. It appears to be because the screen is too small for the window because the resolution is too low. | 02:27 |
| nick327 | question: how can i use the command line to assign myself an ip using dhcp? | 02:27 |
| tj__ | is there any way i could recover some files just deleted | 02:27 |
| nick327 | i used iwconfg to configure my card, i just need to get an ip | 02:28 |
| nick327 | im used to using dhcpcd | 02:28 |
| KINGTEKRIN | does anyone know how i can take some of the 140gb vista partition and free it up for a linux install? | 02:28 |
| dr_willis | postersandguitar, theres the nvidia-xconfig tool that can configure things from the cli also. | 02:28 |
| postersandguitar | Nvidia xconfig doesn't detect it right. | 02:28 |
| nick327 | KINGTEKRIN: the ubuntu live cd should be able to resize your vista install | 02:28 |
| KINGTEKRIN | well, but i dont know how...lol... | 02:29 |
| niskel | I am having trouble with iwlwifi-5300. I am getting a kernel oops every time I try to bring the interface up. | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | KINGTEKRIN, vista has its own partition resizer feature yoyu should use - it will be much faster then the ubuntu resizer feature | 02:29 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | heh | 02:29 |
| nick327 | boot up the cd | 02:29 |
| nick327 | use the installer on the desktop | 02:29 |
| wartalker | does anyone know nvidia GM8600 GT driver for the latest kernel 2.26.27 | 02:29 |
| KINGTEKRIN | right | 02:29 |
| nick327 | there is a page for partitioning, the first option shown is to resize a partition | 02:29 |
| nick327 | you can use a simple slider to change the sizes | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | KINGTEKRIN, vista will resize the partition in a few min.. ubuntu may take an hr+ :) so guess wht i use more | 02:30 |
| KINGTEKRIN | it gives me two options | 02:30 |
| KINGTEKRIN | guided or manual | 02:30 |
| postersandguitar | I tried nvidia-xconfig. It didn't change it. | 02:30 |
| KINGTEKRIN | but on guided it says use whole disk | 02:30 |
| postersandguitar | Is there a way to get it to stay in place? | 02:31 |
| nick327 | there should be an option above that | 02:31 |
| KINGTEKRIN | only the guided, which if you choose uses whole 140gb;s | 02:31 |
| KINGTEKRIN | and below that is manual | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | postersandguitar, ive never seen windows randomly jump around.. so im not sure what is going on. You can use the alt-mouse to move windows around if parts of them are off screen | 02:31 |
| sunapi386 | does anyone know a tool to test read/write speed ? | 02:31 |
| nick327 | hmm, a slider showed up for my xp partition | 02:31 |
| oliver__ | hi | 02:31 |
| KDE4000 | sunapi386: hdparm | 02:32 |
| nick327 | try using gparted, its a partitioning utility that allows you to resize partitions | 02:32 |
| oliver__ | um... im having some trouble with my ubuntu | 02:32 |
| sunapi386 | KDE4000; thx | 02:32 |
| nick327 | it is on the live cd, use google to get some background | 02:32 |
| KDE4000 | oliver__: go ahead and state your question, and someone can answer it | 02:32 |
| oliver__ | im having problens with my ubuntu my resolution wont go above 800 | 02:32 |
| KDE4000 | oliver__: have you installed any drivers with the restricted driver manager? | 02:33 |
| postersandguitar | my nvidia-settings window keeps focusing on a different part of the window when I click because the screen is at a low resolution becuase it's being detected wrong. | 02:33 |
| oliver__ | there are no drivers in the list | 02:33 |
| lliw00 | how to i get my fingerprint reader to work on hardy? | 02:33 |
| KDE4000 | oliver__: what graphics card do you have? | 02:33 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds max supported by BIOS | 02:33 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml#doc_chap6 | 02:33 |
| oliver__ | an old one, 3dfx voodoo3 | 02:33 |
| KDE4000 | o_O | 02:33 |
| oliver__ | lol | 02:33 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | this is what I'm getting after a kernel update | 02:33 |
| KDE4000 | better ask someone else here, i dont know of that graphics card =[ | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | postersandguitar, try the tab key to move around the window I guess. Normally i manually install the nvidia-glx-XXX drivers and the res corrects itself. | 02:34 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | already tried updating bios, no go | 02:34 |
| oliver__ | can we talk in private? | 02:34 |
| KINGTEKRIN | it says since gparted is a weapon of mass destruction, you need root priv;s | 02:34 |
| mib_no6v7jdc | wtf is going on | 02:34 |
| oliver__ | all these convos do my head in at 2:34 am | 02:34 |
| tj__ | does anyone know a way i could recover some files just deleted | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | KINGTEKRIN, Yep it does.. as i said earlyer.. if you want to resize a vista partition. its proberly best to boot to vista amd use vistas resizeing features to resize the vista partition. | 02:34 |
| mongolai_ | This might be a little complex -- My default ubuntu install is golden, however, GDM screen resolution is wrong. I'm currently on a remote X Session (configured by GDM?) and would like to reset the resolution for the session | 02:35 |
| gsevil | I set DNS in /etc/resolv.conf, but every time restart, It lost, how can I save it? | 02:35 |
| theflamingpi_ | greedyb: I just rebooted and for some reason it's using flash 9 again. | 02:35 |
| Ron_Paul_ | Anyone use Zimbra here? | 02:35 |
| Swian | I do | 02:35 |
| greedyb | theflamingpi_: I'm scared to reboot.. last time I did that some initramfs prompt came up and I could never get my ubuntu back | 02:35 |
| KINGTEKRIN | this says my minimum is 152625 and the max is 152626 | 02:36 |
| NickPresta | Ron_Paul_, my school uses it and I'm using it right now :) | 02:36 |
| mikem | hi, wondering why synaptic on my machine shows Firefox 3.0.1 as the latest available, while http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/firefox shows 3.0.3 as available. how can I get the latest version installed? | 02:37 |
| theflamingpi_ | greedyb: Did you modify the kernel at all? | 02:37 |
| Ron_Paul_ | I need someone who know how to configure outbound SMTP authentication. | 02:37 |
| greedyb | theflamingpi_: nope | 02:37 |
| mongolai_ | nevermind -- I got it ( I thik) | 02:38 |
| tj__ | i just deleted a folder of some pictures and I really need to know if there is anyway of saving them | 02:38 |
| kitche | mikem: did you update? | 02:38 |
| craigbass1976 | jrib, hey, this is Craig, formally know as paul_colwell | 02:39 |
| postersandguitar | Where would I go in nvidia-settings to manually set a new resolution? | 02:39 |
| jrib | tj__: did you right click -> move to trash or do something else? | 02:39 |
| kitche | mikem: sudo apt-get update will update the package cache | 02:39 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: hi | 02:39 |
| mikem | kitche: i pressed the "Reload" button in Synaptic, also I ran `sudo apt-get update` | 02:39 |
| tj__ | yeah i put it in trash and emtied :( | 02:39 |
| craigbass1976 | jrib, when I run the do-upgrade I get a message about ssh switching ports. At that point, my connection borks | 02:39 |
| jrib | !recover | tj__ | 02:39 |
| ubottu | tj__: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 02:39 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: hrmm, yeah, didn't realize that | 02:40 |
| postersandguitar | Where would I go to type in my screens resolution when I have nvidia settings? | 02:40 |
| craigbass1976 | jrib, and it actually killed my connection entirely; I totally got booted off my lan too | 02:40 |
| Craighhney | can anyone tell me how to open a .bundle file? | 02:40 |
| lliw00 | does anyone know how to get my fingerprint reader working on my asus m50? | 02:40 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: you could have run it in screen and then reconnected to it. It affected your local connection? that's weird | 02:40 |
| craigbass1976 | what if I sshed in and got an x session and did the gui anyway | 02:41 |
| postersandguitar | Can someone answer my question? | 02:41 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: I guess that works, but won't you get booted if ssh restarts again? Could you still reconnect to the running upgrade? | 02:41 |
| dr_willis | postersandguitar, you couldjust manually edit your xorg.conf also. I doubt if anyoneknows your problem exact enough to answer you | 02:42 |
| mikem | kitche: hm, looks like my local mirror is way out of date. I told Synaptic to use "Main Servers" instead, and now there's tons of updates avaialble, including firefox. | 02:42 |
| Randal1 | I have a trendnet USB wireless device and i was wondering if someone could help me configure it using terminal. the wiki said that the person had problems doing it through nm-applet i've spent a couple of hours and ran what it said but it didn't connect wirelessly? | 02:42 |
| lliw00 | anyone know why ubuntu wont play dvds? | 02:42 |
| jrib | !dvd | lliw00 | 02:43 |
| ubottu | lliw00: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 02:43 |
| craigbass1976 | jrib, oh yeah... Can I run an at job that does the upgrade? | 02:43 |
| craigbass1976 | jrib, is there a way to pass option into thr do-upgrade command? | 02:43 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: the upgrade may ask questions | 02:43 |
| postersandguitar | HELLO! I NEED AN ANSWER! SORRY TO USE CAPS BUT I WAS IGNORED | 02:43 |
| jrib | !patience | postersandguitar | 02:44 |
| ubottu | postersandguitar: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | postersandguitar, i did answer.. and yelling tends to get you really ignored. | 02:44 |
| craigbass1976 | postersandguitar, You get an answer when someone comes along that knows it. | 02:44 |
| marthy_MBP | omg its getting loud in here | 02:44 |
| postersandguitar | It would be nice if someone at least said that. | 02:44 |
| kitche | postersandguitar: what that someone anwsered you and you fully ignored them? | 02:45 |
| postersandguitar | kitche: No one answered me, at least not this time. | 02:45 |
| craigbass1976 | postersandguitar, and you're lucky this is ubuntu room; in fedora, centos, and some of the other rooms, you'd have been ignored after the post BEFORE you used caps | 02:45 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: I think your only option if you really want to do this is to use screen and the server upgrade method. There's less that can go wrong that way. I don't know of ways to pass options to do-upgrade. What were you looking for exactly? | 02:47 |
| postersandguitar | Does anyone here know what to do if my computer with nvidia-settins and nvidia drivers is convinced my screen is 640x480? | 02:47 |
| lliw00 | jrib i have tried that already and it didnt work | 02:47 |
| jrib | lliw00: pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy libdvdcss2' | 02:47 |
| Randal1 | I have a trendnet USB wireless device and i was wondering if someone could help me configure it using terminal. the wiki said that the person had problems doing it through nm-applet i've spent a couple of hours and ran what it said but it didn't connect wirelessly? | 02:47 |
| craigbass1976 | jrib, I don't understand run it in screen | 02:48 |
| wartalker | postersandguitar: edit /etc/X11/xorg.cong | 02:48 |
| lliw00 | jrib http://pastebin.com/m177f55a5 | 02:48 |
| craigbass1976 | Randal1, does the device work in windows? | 02:48 |
| Randal1 | yes | 02:48 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: screen just lets you run a command, log out of ssh, then come back, reattach screen, and still have the command active | 02:48 |
| perillux | can someone tell me if I need to have windows installed, or a windows CD to run VirtualBox? | 02:49 |
| jrib | !screen | craigbass1976 | 02:49 |
| ubottu | craigbass1976: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 02:49 |
| jrib | perillux: no, you don't need windows to run virtualbox in ubuntu | 02:49 |
| Randal1 | craigbass1976 it already shows up in my nm-applet just not sure on how to configure it | 02:49 |
| jrib | perillux: however, if you want to run windows /inside/ virtualbox on ubuntu, you'll need a windows disk to install it of course | 02:49 |
| perillux | jrib: i never got a windows CD when I bought my laptop | 02:50 |
| perillux | jrib: it was already installed | 02:50 |
| Randal1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TRENDnet_TEW-424UB_3.0R_(ndiswrapper) i've been using this as a guide and i just don' | 02:50 |
| ultraren | i have a question about chown | 02:50 |
| perillux | jrib: but I overwrote it all with Ubuntu | 02:50 |
| bzaks | I have 2 different networks: eth0, and wlan0, they both point to different networks, and the nameservers keep over writing the resolv.conf, is there a way I can get ubuntu to handle both? | 02:50 |
| Randal1 | i just don't understand the bottom (network managers problems) | 02:50 |
| postersandguitar | The instructions to fix resolution say to go to video configuration in nvidia-settings, but there is no such heading. | 02:51 |
| jeeves_Moss | what causes a fresh install to hang @ dst_get_mac? I can't for the life of me get this server to boot | 02:51 |
| jrib | perillux: contact your manufacturer or borrow a cd from someone and use your license key (there should be a sticker on your laptop with it) | 02:51 |
| yoyoned | !ask|ultaren | 02:51 |
| ubottu | ultaren: 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. :-) | 02:51 |
| SirGlacious1 | perillux: thank microsoft or your manufacturer :) | 02:51 |
| usser | bzaks, what do you want exactly? | 02:51 |
| perillux | jrib: is there anything similar to virtualBox that would allow me to run a small windows desktop because I just want it so I can play an old game | 02:51 |
| usser | bzaks, to have a static nameserver? | 02:51 |
| ultraren | sudo chown -hR laserwolf /media/noise returns "operation not permited" why? | 02:52 |
| yoyoned | perillux: wine | 02:52 |
| usser | perillux, is it a dos game? | 02:52 |
| marcustomized | perillux, wine | 02:52 |
| postersandguitar | I can't find video configuration in nvidia settings | 02:52 |
| perillux | yoyoned: usser: marcustomized: it's not working in wine. It does work but it locks up when it plays quicktime videos | 02:52 |
| jrib | perillux: you're not going to install windows on anything without a windows disk. You could try wine to run some windows programs as others are suggesting. wine is not windows though | 02:52 |

| ultraren | yoyoned, i did | 02:54 |
| postersandguitar | jrib: there's no where to manually set the display and refresh rate? | 02:54 |

| nick327 | thankd | 02:57 |
| jrib | postersandguitar: 1) I gave you what the section is called here when I open nvidia-settings 2) the section that I referred to explains how to edit xorg.conf without using nvidia-settings | 02:57 |

I have 6 hard drives, so I may as well use one of them for Windows. I know that if I install Windows with all the drives hooked up, it'll overwrite the GRUB boot loader on my system drive; if I disconnect all the drives but the Windows drive, however, it'll have to... | 03:00 |
| julioso | ...install the windows boot loader to the Windows drive. Anyone know if that'll work (i.e. will I still be able to boot into Windows after re-connecting my Ubuntu drive?) | 03:00 |
| jrib | bouma: or just use nautilus | 03:00 |

| ZraS87 | can anyone help? | 03:22 |
| kaneda^ | Pulpie, i've looked in the xorg log and found nothing strange, and it doesnt happen at any given time that i can document | 03:22 |
| Pulpie | ZraS87: what do you play them in | 03:22 |
| ZraS87 | anything | 03:22 |
| ZraS87 | like | 03:22 |
| yoyoned | ultraren: change owner of noise and try to write file | 03:22 |
| kaneda^ | Pulpie, it seems random, suddenly my trackpad will ONLY vertical scroll, not move regularly, and then it goes to these other settings | 03:22 |
| ZraS87 | rythymbox | 03:22 |
| Pulpie | kaneda^: you said about 15 minutes after xorg starts | 03:22 |
| kaneda^ | Pulpie, totally depends, it seems the more stressed the computer is the faster it happens | 03:23 |
| Pulpie | ZraS87: try totem/mplayer and check if alsa is installed | 03:23 |
| ZraS87 | ok | 03:23 |
| Pulpie | kaneda^: it could be that you computer generates too much heat | 03:23 |
| ultraren | yoyoned, sudo chown -R laserwolf /media/noise returns "operation not permited" | 03:23 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | No ideas how can I fix the color issue? | 03:23 |
| Pulpie | kaneda^: so the track pad cant tell if your finger is actually touching it or not | 03:23 |
| kaneda^ | Pulpie, i don't doubt that, but if that's resetting the mouse driver to default then i'm a monkey's uncle | 03:23 |
| Pulpie | kaneda^: why would it do that in the middle of running xorg | 03:24 |
| ZraS87 | no they won't play | 03:24 |
| Pulpie | ZraS87: is alsa installed? | 03:24 |
| kaneda^ | Pulpie, i dunno, that's what i'm here to find out | 03:24 |
| ultraren | yoyoned, chown: changing ownership of `/media/noise': Operation not permitted | 03:24 |
| ZraS87 | I think alsa is installed | 03:24 |
| ZraS87 | how do you check | 03:24 |
| Pulpie | ZraS87: ps aw | grep alsa | 03:24 |
| yoyoned | ultraren: try chown without the -R | 03:24 |
| ZraS87 | just to make sure | 03:24 |
| mrpockets | does Ubuntu not have a .bash_profile ? | 03:24 |

| ZraS87 | I put that int the terminal | 03:25 |
| mrpockets | hmm | 03:25 |
| mrpockets | I'm pretty sure I'm using bash | 03:25 |
| ZraS87 | it gave me : 6465 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep alsa | 03:25 |
| ZraS87 | back | 03:25 |
| Pulpie | mrpockets: erm actually no debian does not have it | 03:26 |
| kaneda^ | mrpockets, in your home folder .bashrc | 03:26 |
| yoyoned | ultraren: what is output of df -h | 03:26 |
| Pulpie | ZraS87: no you need to install alsa | 03:26 |
| Pulpie | kaneda^: thats not .bash_profile | 03:26 |
| mrpockets | if i want a script to run at startup | 03:26 |
| ZraS87 | how do I do that? | 03:26 |
| kaneda^ | mrpockets, .bashrc | 03:26 |
| mrpockets | what file do I modify to run it? | 03:26 |
| kaneda^ | mrpockets, ^^ | 03:26 |
| ZraS87 | I thought I already had it? | 03:26 |

| Mari | localhost/sql-ledger/login.pl | 03:54 |
| Pulpie | axisys: hmm it should be there, try checking on #mac or something | 03:54 |

| jtisme | bungieQord, we can talk on the PM if you want to | 03:55 |
| Mari | nope same thing | 03:55 |
| biabia | perfect english could be interpreted as an oxymoron | 03:56 |
| zcat[1] | so anyhow... is there any ocr software in linux that actually works? | 03:56 |
| csilk | ok you need to read the read me, it will be a direcotry issue | 03:56 |
| csilk | you may need ot move some files | 03:56 |
| joshual | phew kubuntu-intrepid_ibex is a mess! | 03:56 |
| csilk | and change the owner | 03:56 |
| joshual | at least on my laptop | 03:56 |
| Mari | i just need some application that is kinda the same thing as QuickBooks on windows | 03:56 |
| Pulpie | biabia: so could internet support | 03:56 |
| joshual | back to ubuntu-hardy! | 03:56 |
| zcat[1] | fine ' newspaper english' or whatever | 03:56 |
| Pulpie | biabia: or irc support channel | 03:56 |
| Mari | on my ubuntu | 03:56 |
| whyameye | are there any negatives to using the realtime kernel? If I install I can completely remove, correct? | 03:56 |
| biabia | well people expect miracles. sometimes a little sweat must be shed | 03:57 |
| n8tuser | whyameye-> do you have a need for it? | 03:57 |
| Pulpie | biabia: but i dont require anything but DECENT english | 03:57 |
| whyameye | Mari: kmymoney | 03:57 |
| joshual | Mari: have you looked here: linuxappfinder.com ? | 03:57 |
| Pulpie | biabia: meh im not going to them for help | 03:57 |
| Pulpie | biabia: they are comming to me | 03:57 |
| whyameye | n8tuser: it would be nice. I am doing some live sound manipulation and less latency would be better. | 03:57 |
| Mari | okay thanks | 03:57 |
| Pulpie | biabia: and its not a miracle its linux | 03:57 |
| biabia | well if their english isnt sufficient that you understand the questions, and they understand your answers then i can see the dilemma | 03:58 |
| ArcInversion | Guys, I need help. I'm trying to setup an internet radio station and I'm running into problems. When I try to start IceCast I get this error. | 03:58 |
| ArcInversion | chris@chris-laptop:~$ /etc/init.d/icecast2 start | 03:58 |

| joshual | Mari: if not you might be able to run Quickbooks with Wine | 03:59 |
| curtis | anyone know? | 03:59 |
| Pulpie | ArcInversion: try the command with sudo in front | 03:59 |
| biabia | some times if people are unable to speak proper english, they also dont understand what it means when they read/hear it | 03:59 |
| Mari | but i don't have a registered verion of it | 03:59 |
| whyameye | n8tuser: it's my general-purpose laptop. Will it really completely remove w/out trace with an apt-get remove? | 03:59 |
| joshual | csilk: didnt see what she had... just giving suggestions | 03:59 |
| Pulpie | biabia: then they should be in the ENGLISH support channel | 03:59 |
| Mari | my boss dosen't want to spend money on software | 03:59 |
| ArcInversion | i did... all it does is says "Starting icecast2" but then it comes up with chris@chris-laptop etc again | 03:59 |

| Mari | yea i downloaded it but don't know how to install it | 04:03 |
| csilk | theflamingpi_, google it | 04:03 |
| n8tuser | whyameye-> i believe real-time are usually used for specific apps in mind and not generic..memory management is not a good i believe, pre-emptying cause far too much delays | 04:03 |
| ArcInversion | o, and how do I turn it online? sorry im dumb | 04:03 |
| Pulpie | !google\ | 04:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about google\ | 04:03 |

| csilk | joshual, which she now has installed but she cant access it via localhost due to a config issue | 04:05 |
| GaMbi_DK | installing ubuntu is rather hard isn't it? :) | 04:05 |
| csilk | i think she just needs to chown some files | 04:05 |
| _adrenaline | I did a kernel upgrade and my wicd doesn't work anymore I traced it down to that missing file | 04:05 |
| Pulpie | _adrenaline: kernel upgrade wont delete files | 04:05 |
| mcs117 | pulpie: do you know how to install the drivers for the intel wifi 5100 easily on ubuntu 8.04? | 04:05 |
| GaMbi_DK | way smoother then XP imo.. | 04:05 |

| _adrenaline | Don't know what to tell you | 04:05 |

| liza0 | helo | 04:06 |
| teratoma | how do i run multiple monitors ? | 04:06 |
| csilk | teratoma, ati or nvidia or intel? | 04:06 |
| Pulpie | csilk: intel? | 04:06 |
| teratoma | csilk: intel | 04:06 |
| csilk | yeah intel grfx chips | 04:06 |
| csilk | believe it or not they are still popular | 04:06 |
| teratoma | is there some magic gnome config that will do it ? | 04:06 |
| csilk | teratoma, answer my quesiton | 04:07 |
| teratoma | i run a laptop with intel graphics config | 04:07 |
| csilk | ahh | 04:07 |
| Pulpie | csilk: i see | 04:07 |
| teratoma | csilk: intel | 04:07 |
| mneptok | csilk: Intel is the best video chipset for Linux, hands-down. | 04:07 |
| csilk | ok if it was ati i could get you going in seconds, sorry i havent used an intel chip snice the 90's | 04:07 |
| csilk | *since | 04:07 |
| quinn | iblicf | 04:07 |
| csilk | mneptok, not really | 04:07 |
| mneptok | csilk: yes, really | 04:07 |
| csilk | i have never had an issue with ATI, it just works | 04:07 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | No ideas how can I fix the color issue? | 04:07 |
| liza0 | are there any instant messenger clients other than pidgin that support msn protocol | 04:07 |
| teratoma | liza0: bitlbee | 04:08 |
| joshual | im sure there must be a good ubuntu starter guide available for new windows migrators that someone can recommend for Mari? | 04:08 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | liza0, Empathy, Kopete | 04:08 |
| mneptok | liza0: aMSN | 04:08 |
| liza0 | thanks | 04:08 |
| Mari | brb | 04:08 |
| Pulpie | csilk: my ati x1650 returns a black screen on any debian based os once the 3d propritary drivers are installed | 04:08 |
| csilk | mneptok, for some obscure tech reason that may be true, but ultimatly my exerience of ATI has been nothing less than wonderful | 04:08 |
| Pulpie | csilk: black screen on boot up that is. | 04:08 |
| mneptok | csilk: it's no obscure reason. it's the fact Intel has 100% open and free drivers. | 04:09 |
| joshual | this channel is toooo populated, there should be other channels... ubuntu1 for example... are there? | 04:09 |
| Doc8404 | i need the best windows replacement... | 04:09 |
| Doc8404 | that i can run in ubuntu | 04:09 |
| csilk | mneptok, i never knoew that, thats pretty good, either way, i've never had issues with ATI | 04:09 |
| grafixbadnow | has anyone else lost their nvidia workarounds with the new updates? | 04:10 |
| GaMbi_DK | Pulpie, cool down.. ati and nvidia is both not really that good for linux due to no open sources | 04:10 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | joshual, There is one, ubuntu+1 or ubuntu+l, but it is for beta bug reporting/help. There is an offtopic for offtopic discussions | 04:10 |
| mcs117 | anyone knows how to install wifi 5100? | 04:10 |
| mcs117 | i used google, but its missing some steps | 04:10 |
| Pulpie | GaMbi_DK: cool down? who is warmed up? and nvidia has open source drivers for linux | 04:10 |
| joshual | hmm I think I'll start a new forum topic about a new irc channel | 04:10 |
| liza0 | GaMbi_DK:which gfx cards are good for linux and have open source drivers for them | 04:10 |
| csilk | Pulpie, yeah on my older 2400HD i got a black screen at boot but it only lasts for a few seconds until compiz kicks in | 04:10 |
| Randal1 | still having trouble configuring internet does anyone have any ideas? | 04:11 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | Ok guys, has anyone had this problem before. I did an EnvyNG, and got the latest drivers, and now I get a form of GUI Corruptiuon, where parts of my screen don't refresh properly | 04:11 |
| Pulpie | csilk: ahh i dont have compiz when i tried | 04:11 |
| steve_ | i am running a dell d630 laptop with the latest ubuntu. everything works! wifi and even cellular internet. sound and midi works too... | 04:11 |
| grafixbadnow | fresh.... I'm seeing (maybe) similar behavior with a nvidia | 04:11 |
| Pulpie | csilk: it stalls at the black screen | 04:11 |
| Coded1 | I want to build my own LHC with ubuntu, does any one know of a howto? | 04:11 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | grafixbadnow, I have the nVidia as well. 173, are you using Envy as well? | 04:11 |
| biabia | Stargazer, sudo apt-get install poster | 04:12 |
| whyameye | LHC? | 04:12 |
| GaMbi_DK | envyNG for me.. nvidia 8500gt.. no problems so fare.. (due to Envy) | 04:12 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | Randal1, Any specific problems? | 04:12 |
| bruenig | the lhc doesn't work | 04:12 |
| usser | mcs117, check this out http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi it looks like 5100 will be supported by next version of ubuntu that sport 2.6.27 kernel | 04:12 |
| Coded1 | :) | 04:12 |

| csilk | Pulpie, apparently the fglrx driver doesnt support the 1650 | 04:12 |
| csilk | although it does aupport the 1600 | 04:12 |
| csilk | *support | 04:13 |
| Pulpie | csilk: ahh | 04:13 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, Is your card supported by the 173 series? | 04:13 |
| csilk | HD2900, HD2600, HD2400, X1900, X1800, X1600, X1300, X850, | 04:13 |
| GaMbi_DK | FreshUbuntuNoob, ay | 04:13 |
| whyameye | Large Hadron Collider? | 04:13 |
| Coded1 | whyameye: geek points ++ | 04:13 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, Great, so this is a bug with my card. My card already has a stupid bug with the drivers in the repo. That is why did an Envy :( | 04:13 |
| grafixbadnow | can anyone walk me thru getting an nvidia geforce 8200 working in ubuntu? | 04:14 |
| mneptok | Coded1: please do not add to the signal-to-noise ratio | 04:14 |
| Coded1 | mneptok: sry, j/k | 04:15 |
| bungieQord | jtisme, can you check your query? | 04:15 |
| grafixbadnow | (technically his comment lowered the s-to-n ratio) | 04:15 |
| abngal | Hi guys. I'm had just been starting out ubuntu. It is a little pain, but I guess I'm moving on to dumping xp as I discover more of ubuntu's power. :) I have a question however. | 04:15 |
| Coded1 | lol | 04:15 |
| Twar3 | shoot, agngal | 04:15 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | abngal, Go ahead, if anyone here can help you. He/she will answer :) | 04:15 |
| abngal | Is it possible to focus a window when the program icon in avant window manager is mouseover-ed? | 04:16 |
| After_Math-747 | Damn does Ubuntu 8.10 crash alot for anyone? I have Kubuntu and it seems very unstable, so Im going to try Ubuntu now | 04:16 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, unfortunatly your card isnt officially supported | 04:16 |
| mneptok | After_Math-747: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid, please | 04:16 |
| After_Math-747 | mneptok, thanks | 04:16 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... is this something that will change in the future? | 04:17 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, pretty unlikely as it's an old card | 04:17 |
| abngal | I only know how to show window previews. But I guess it will be cool to show the real window upon mouseover on the taskbar | 04:17 |
| _grepper | any objections or tips on upgrading a Gutsy headless server to Hardy Heron over SSH? | 04:17 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, you 32 or 64 bit cpu? | 04:18 |
| GaMbi_DK | FreshUbuntuNoob, I just heard a whole lot about using or not using the drivers given to you from the clean install.. but when I tryed to install nvidias own drivers it trashed my xorg.conf.. then I tryed EnvyNG.. worked first time! (had to ajust a fhew lines in xorg tho).. also I heard that it will auto update when new drivers arrives or a new kernel is up?!? | 04:18 |
| csilk | *architecture | 04:18 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... i bought this computer ~2 months ago. I'm getting the version info from lscpi... is that necessarily accurate? | 04:18 |
| usser | _grepper, yes. why are u upgrading? | 04:18 |
| csilk | hmm | 04:18 |
| grafixbadnow | silk... 32bit | 04:18 |
| _grepper | that's a sandbox server I have on my local network | 04:18 |
| _grepper | among other things, I'd like to have hp-install to add an HP C4200 printer | 04:19 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, Unfortunately, it didn't for me. Last night's Kernel upgrades broke nVidia. I had to recompile from tty using Envy | 04:19 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, sorry i had it backwards, your card is rather new and isnt yet supported by the open nvidia drivers | 04:19 |
| abngal | I now like ubuntu a lot to the point that I think it will be cool for someone (or maybe me) to set up a business charging reasonable $ for installing+customizing ubuntu. :) | 04:19 |
| _grepper | usser: it does DHCP for me and also serves a few minor "stage" websites | 04:19 |
| grafixbadnow | fresh!! kernel updates broke my nvidia too | 04:19 |
| GaMbi_DK | FreshUbuntuNoob, so you didn't use Envy before the upgrade? | 04:19 |
| _grepper | usser: and works as a Continuous Integration server also | 04:20 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, I did | 04:20 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... that's slightly better news :) | 04:20 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, i should think over the next few months there will be restricted drivers that WILL support your card | 04:20 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, It didn't recompile after Kernel updates | 04:20 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, It didn't automatically* recompile after Kernel updates | 04:20 |
| usser | _grepper, i understand. But usually when server is setup and works you dont touch unless there's a really strong reason to | 04:20 |
| abngal | Or maybe I should move my window preview question to compiz-fuzion channel? Does anyone know their channel? | 04:20 |
| _grepper | Well, I have been wanting to do that for a while now | 04:20 |
| _grepper | And it works pretty damn well | 04:21 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, are the dirvers installed by the hardware manager? | 04:21 |
| csilk | *drivers | 04:21 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... it was working (sort of) before the kernel updates. I had downloaded the nvidia drivers and followed some crazy steps from a how-to guide a googled. i ended up adding a bunch of items to xorg.conf and tagging some things NOT to run | 04:21 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | abngal, #compiz-fusion | 04:21 |
| grafixbadnow | **how-to guide I googled | 04:21 |
| csilk | ah rite, you've laready played with the xorg config | 04:21 |
| GaMbi_DK | FreshUbuntuNoob, pain in the a**? course i'm kinda scared that that will happen to me!!! | 04:21 |
| _grepper | usser: 00:20:59 up 206 days, 6:27, 2 users, load average: 0.93, 0.83, 0.44 | 04:21 |
| csilk | *already | 04:21 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, It is quite easy if you know a little bit of commandline | 04:21 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, try gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 04:22 |
| _grepper | usser: too late - download finished :) | 04:22 |
| csilk | dont blame me if anything blows up though | 04:22 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, Even if your Nvidia driver breaks, your xorg will actually start in low graphics mode | 04:22 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... i'll try and report back | 04:22 |
| grafixbadnow | i've backed up everything, so no worries | 04:22 |
| usser | _grepper, heh, well good luck the upgrade should be pretty smooth, make sure to back up | 04:22 |
| central | hello, i have a question: did there is a program a bit like checkdisk to check and fix error in ubuntu ? | 04:22 |
| mib_lsqzgjan | has anyone used puppy linux 3 | 04:22 |
| _grepper | usser: thanks | 04:23 |
| usser | central, fsck | 04:23 |
| central | thanks | 04:23 |
| _grepper | I have my fingers crossed | 04:23 |
| anachoret | intrepid ibex beta 1: why does my caps lock key no longer function? | 04:23 |
| GaMbi_DK | FreshUbuntuNoob, well I installed my GFX drivers with and without (shut down Xserver in ctrl+alt+F1) ben using ubuntu for little under two weeks now.. think I will have a problem? :O | 04:23 |
| csilk | central, yes | 04:23 |
| mib_lsqzgjan | has anyone here use puppy linux 3 | 04:23 |
| * _grepper scares to death :) | 04:23 | |
| csilk | central, fsck | 04:24 |
| _grepper | I meant scared | 04:24 |
| csilk | although you shouldnt ever need ot do that | 04:24 |
| csilk | the fs will look after itself | 04:24 |
| mib_lsqzgjan | hello | 04:24 |
| GaMbi_DK | FreshUbuntuNoob, I fixed my Xorg.conf (manual backups etc) for twinview and such small projects | 04:24 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, Once my ubuntu started in low -graphics, I hti ctrl + alt + f1, did an sudo envyng -t (for text mode), selected to reinstall my drivers... And it did everything automatcailly. I only had to enter the option number | 04:24 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, And then a restart of PC was recommended by Envy, so I did it, and Volia :) | 04:25 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... no luck. here's the meat of the error text: "msg from X server: no device detected" EE nvidia 0 failed to load the nvidia kernel | 04:25 |
| _grepper | completely offtopic: is Formula1 popular on any of your countries? is there any channel for that subject? | 04:25 |
| grafixbadnow | fresh... what is envy? sounds like a different graphics config maybe?? | 04:26 |
| abngal | Hi again. Does anyone know how to focus a window after hovering on it in the taskbar? | 04:26 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | grafixbadnow, Envy is the old version of EnvyNG. EnvyNG is supported from Hardy | 04:26 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, post your xorg log | 04:27 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... will do | 04:27 |
| GaMbi_DK | aah sweet.. the exact same thing happent to me! the low graphic etc.. but I had to change my Xorg.conf in where it said "seiv" or something :S and change that to "nvidia" after i ran the EnvyNG :S | 04:27 |
| eross | ok windows has movie maker which captures the video from my mini dv camcorder, but i don't want to boot into windows since i'm already here :) any utility suggestions for ubuntu? | 04:27 |
| dimr | hi.. does anyone here have any experience with hardware raids? i have a question about a weird dilemma i'm in | 04:27 |
| aaron_ | has anyone tried open office 3 | 04:28 |
| aaron_ | how do I upgrade to Open Office 3? | 04:28 |
| usser | eross, kino or cinelerra probably | 04:28 |
| GaMbi_DK | that long text was for you FreshUbuntuNoo :) | 04:28 |
| bullgard4 | 2 days ago Update Manager offered a kernel update to 2.6.24-21. It asked if I would like to keep my old version of file /boot/grub/menu.lst. I acknowledged because I did not want to loose my framebuffer console. But now Grub does not offer me to boot the 2.6.24-21 kernel. What should I do? To insert by hand some 2.6.24-21 lines in /boot/grub/menu.list? | 04:28 |
| usser | aaron_, openoffice.org has the packages for ubuntu | 04:28 |
| Agent_bob | !webcam > eross | 04:28 |
| ubottu | eross, please see my private message | 04:28 |
| aaron_ | do I have to un install my correct version | 04:29 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, Oh sorry :). I did play around with my xorg too. Have broken it quite a few times now :). But apart from the GUi corruption, nothing major after EnvyNG. I am quite satisfied using the propietery drivers | 04:29 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, try modprobe nvidia | 04:29 |
| GaMbi_DK | "They call me mellow yellow" | 04:29 |
| Oric | how show i uninstall ati drivers? | 04:29 |
| fredy | hola | 04:29 |
| csilk | Oric, with the hardware manager | 04:29 |
| Agent_bob | bullgard4 sudo update-grub ? | 04:30 |
| Oric | i can't log in X window,8.10 doesn't work well with ati drivers | 04:30 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | Agent_bob, My past experience says that won't work :( | 04:30 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... here's my xorg.conf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Feco | 04:30 |
| GaMbi_DK | FreshUbuntuNoob, looks like we are just about the same stage of ubuntu knowledge :P | 04:30 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | GaMbi_DK, Same boat, same river, same sea? :) | 04:31 |
| bullgard4 | Agent_bob: I do not know the command update-grub. Why did you add a question mark? | 04:31 |
| usser | Oric, theres no version of ati drivers for 8.10 yet, go to ubuntu+1 for details | 04:31 |
| Oric | usser: ty | 04:31 |
| GaMbi_DK | ^ | 04:31 |
| eross | ty | 04:31 |
| GaMbi_DK | ^^ | 04:31 |
| central | ok so i find 2 packages "e2fsck-static" and "showfsck" should install both ? | 04:31 |
| Agent_bob | yep | 04:31 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, try modprobe nvidia | 04:31 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk... result of modprobe is FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko': No such file or directory | 04:32 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, did the upgrade do antying to kernel headers or the kernel in general? | 04:32 |
| Agent_bob | FreshUbuntuNoob you have a better suggestion ? | 04:32 |
| bungieQord | how do I read the contents of a text file in terminal | 04:33 |
| bullgard4 | bungieQord: cat | 04:33 |
| csilk | bungieQord, less file.txt | 04:33 |
| kuthux | bungieQord: cat <file> | 04:33 |
| Agent_bob | bungieQord less | 04:33 |
| Neo1211 | I just did lspci -n |grep '14e4:43' to find out what wireless card I have, and I get no output | 04:34 |
| kuthux | bungieQord: use nano or vi to edit | 04:34 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | Agent_bob, Last time I restored my grub menu, it actually denied updating the list of kernels. I had to (1) Delete the list and let it regenerate by update-grub, (2) Add it manually | 04:34 |
| Neo1211 | I'm doing this because I'm trying to reinstall my Broadcom wireless driver | 04:34 |
| Neo1211 | It just stopped working today | 04:34 |
| csilk | Neo1211, do lspci and pastebin it | 04:34 |
| grafixbadnow | csilk.... i don't know what the upgrade did. i just followed the red arrow and downloaded (recent windows convert... i'm trained) | 04:34 |
| Neo1211 | I would | 04:34 |
| Neo1211 | But I don't have internet on the computer | 04:34 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | Agent_bob, But I guess update-grub would be the first step :) | 04:34 |
| Agent_bob | FreshUbuntuNoob sounds like you had a bug | 04:35 |
| Neo1211 | I see nothing about broadcom | 04:35 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, ok it looks like the update modified the kernel and the lib/module for your dirver is not compatible with the modifed kernel | 04:35 |
| csilk | you need newer libs | 04:35 |
| === lipsinV1 is now known as lipsin | ||
| grafixbadnow | "newer libs" forgive my ignorance. what do I have to do? | 04:35 |
| csilk | grafixbadnow, you need to totally uninstall your nvidia driver, use synaptic and completely purge everything | 04:35 |
| ToddEDM | anyone here play COD4 under wine, or some other way, on linux | 04:36 |
| ToddEDM | ? | 04:36 |
| csilk | then do sudo apt-get update | 04:36 |
| Neo1211 | any ideas? | 04:36 |
| csilk | then install the latest driver | 04:36 |
| realkummar | hello... ive been trying to install my adaptec gamebridge avc1400, and have loaded CX25840, which seems to be used in lsmod, but now i don't know what to do, can someone help? | 04:36 |
| grafixbadnow | gotcha... i'll go poke around in synaptic to see if i can find the nvidia to uninstall | 04:36 |
| csilk | yeah make sure you get every bit of the driver | 04:36 |
| csilk | it could be accross several files | 04:36 |
| csilk | in synaptic ^ grafixbadnow | 04:36 |

| ToddEDM | nah | 04:38 |
| Neo1211 | Anybody? :/ | 04:38 |
| Neo1211 | I just did lspci -n |grep '14e4:43' to find out what wireless card I have, and I get no output | 04:38 |
| csilk | ToddEDM, 99% sure cod4 wont work on ubuntu | 04:38 |
| zelrikriando | Azhi_Dahaka, what about it...is it that hard to install OOo 3 ? | 04:38 |
| Neo1211 | I'm doing this because I'm trying to reinstall my Broadcom wireless driver | 04:38 |
| Neo1211 | Just stopped working out of nowhere today | 04:38 |

| [TiZ] | central: No, it WILL damage your filesystem if you run it on a mounted drive. What are you trying to do? | 04:41 |
| csilk | Neo1211, are there any ethernet controllers listed in lspci? | 04:41 |
| tritium | 't specifically need 64 bit, stick with 32 bit | 04:41 |
| Neo1211 | csilk | 04:41 |
| Agent_bob | break_free if it ok's for shutdown and restart. and that gets it working, then you need to reorder the startup process to run that script later in the boot order. if not... idk. | 04:41 |

| CITguy08 | tritium: any particular reason? | 04:42 |
| Neo1211 | yes | 04:42 |
| csilk | how many? | 04:42 |
| csilk | i guess 2 | 04:42 |
| [TiZ] | Answer my question first, central. What are you trying to use fd- oh, you're using fsck. | 04:42 |
| tritium | CITguy08: you'll not notice performance gains, primarily | 04:42 |
| [TiZ] | That's my mistake, I thought you were trying to run fdisk. | 04:42 |
| Neo1211 | I see 1 | 04:42 |

| CITguy08 | DigitalFiz: so what's the point of having a 64-bit processor for a home computer? | 04:45 |
| Neo1211 | I followed this: | 04:45 |
| csilk | modprobe ath_pci | 04:45 |
| [TiZ] | I'm trying to close up my customized liveCD so I can see how big it is before I go any further. But I can't do "sudo umount edit/dev". It tells me that the "device is busy." What do I do? | 04:45 |

| break_free | anyone else? the fans won't turn on in the laptop, it overheats and shutsdown | 04:45 |
| Agent_bob | break_free ? fans aren't turning off ? or on ? | 04:46 |
| Agent_bob | <break_free> Agent_bob, the fans aren't turning off ? | 04:46 |
| break_free | sorry, they are not turning ON | 04:46 |
| Agent_bob | oh. | 04:46 |
| Agent_bob | ok. sorry then. | 04:46 |
| DigitalFiz | CITguy08, i dont suppose there is much purpose besides gearing up because there are a few programs that utilize 64bit its the same issue with dual/quad core processors not many applications know how to use them to their fullest but soon they will | 04:46 |
| Neo1211 | msilk | 04:47 |
| break_free | Agent_bob, got any ideas? | 04:47 |
| Tomf12 | I'm having a slight problem, I'm trying to connect to my router via the terminal but it isn't doing so automaticly, any advice? | 04:47 |
| Neo1211 | I did modprobe ath_pci | 04:47 |
| Neo1211 | Now what | 04:47 |
| Agent_bob | break_free lsmod | grep -i fan | 04:47 |
| CITguy08 | DigitalFiz: so, stick with 32-bit until 64-bit is ultimately needed? | 04:47 |
| Agent_bob | any modules loaded for them ? | 04:47 |
| break_free | Agent_bob, hold on I'll have to turn it on and try | 04:47 |
| [TiZ] | I'm trying to close up my customized liveCD so I can see how big it is before I go any further. But I can't do "sudo umount edit/dev". It tells me that the "device is busy." What do I do? | 04:47 |
| Agent_bob | break_free lsmod | grep -i fan ;lsmod | grep -i therm | 04:48 |
| Agent_bob | check for both. | 04:48 |
| DigitalFiz | CITguy08, i would there are still a lot of issues with 64bit and a 32bit os on a 64bit cpu runs just fine | 04:48 |
| CITguy08 | ok, thanks for the advice | 04:48 |

| Neo1211 | What do I do now? It usually shows the driver under restricted drivers, by the way | 04:49 |
| bzaks | or whatever the process id is | 04:49 |
| Neo1211 | I did | 04:49 |
| Agent_bob | csilk modprobe -r maybe ? | 04:49 |
| csilk | Agent_bob, shouldnt need too | 04:49 |
| kuthux | [TiZ]: how do u customized it ? | 04:50 |

| Tails5 | I'll come back if it doesn't work, but I bet it will | 04:52 |
| Tails5 | Bye | 04:52 |
| Agent_bob | Tails5 | 04:53 |
| Neo1211 | csilk, funny thing is | 04:53 |
| [TiZ] | I am remastering the live CD already. I added many packages to it, some themes, a wallpaper, etc. I want to see how big it is so far before I go any further. | 04:53 |
| Agent_bob | Tails5 you do know to inturpret # as some number ? | 04:53 |
| csilk | Neo1211, you need to ethernet your laptop into the router/modem purge the driver with synaptic and re-install | 04:53 |
| Tomf12 | yep he does, he's my bro | 04:53 |
| Neo1211 | When I did ndiswrapper -l | 04:53 |

| nxmehta | i'm trying to learn about udev... can anyone point me to where ubuntu names hard drives (hdX, sdX) in the udev rules? i can't figure it out | 04:54 |
| csilk | Neo1211, you have a chicken and egg problem, you need access to the net to get the driver, yes you cant access the net until you get the driver | 04:54 |
| __grepper | Hey, I just screwed up upgrading to 8.04LTS | 04:54 |
| __grepper | Would anyone lend me a hand? | 04:54 |
| Neo1211 | csilk | 04:55 |
| Neo1211 | I already have the driver | 04:55 |
| csilk | hmm, you could always download the package on another machine and use a memory stick to yoru laptop | 04:55 |
| bzaks | __grepper: what's up? | 04:55 |
| csilk | *your | 04:55 |
| Doc8404 | is thier a command to backup the system to a usb harddrive? | 04:55 |

| asdfkk | hello there i wish to ask about what apparmor covers on the ubuntu hardy distribution. | 04:55 |
| sjovan | what pack do i need to play wma files? | 04:55 |
| Neo1211 | It's in /home/chris/bcm43xx | 04:55 |
| asdfkk | does it just cover cups ? (by default) | 04:55 |
| Tomf12 | Agent Bob, it told him, "Ignoring unknown interface eth0 = eth0 | 04:55 |
| bzaks | doc8404: yeah, its called CP | 04:55 |
| bzaks | lol | 04:55 |
| csilk | ok, go to synaptic and totally remove anything related to your dirver | 04:55 |
| bzaks | __grepper: fresh install | 04:55 |
| csilk | *driver | 04:55 |
| __grepper | bzaks: really? | 04:55 |
| Neo1211 | Including ndiswrapper? | 04:55 |
| tritium | Neo1211: why are you not using the ubuntu-packaged one? | 04:55 |
| Agent_bob | nxmehta unless using scsi emulation. ide primary master is hda primary slave hdb secondary master hdc and sec. slave hdd all usb and scsi drives start at sda and progress | 04:55 |
| __grepper | no way to recover? | 04:56 |
| csilk | yes | 04:56 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: Doesn't work with my laptop. | 04:56 |
| __grepper | what about the data on the HD? | 04:56 |
| csilk | you need to install everything from fresh | 04:56 |
| leandrosurf | is there anyone here who has the solution of suspend/hibernate problems on hp tx1000 notebooks? | 04:56 |
| tritium | Neo1211: /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko ? | 04:56 |
| Doc8404 | CP... thats it bzaks? | 04:56 |
| bigboss | !find | 04:56 |
| ubottu | Search for a pacakge or a file: !find <term/file> | 04:56 |
| Neo1211 | What about it? | 04:56 |
| Agent_bob | nxmehta is that what you are asking ? | 04:56 |
| bzaks | __grepper, I would never upgrade a full version like that, too many points of failure... Use a live CD, cp your data to a back up source, and do a fresh install | 04:56 |
| tritium | Neo1211: how is that one different from what you have in your home directory? | 04:56 |
| csilk | Neo1211, wait, there is a packaged one and your not usuing it? | 04:56 |
| bzaks | doc8404, mount the usb drive, and cp in the info you want. | 04:56 |
| Neo1211 | I'm not sure, but my Wireless did not work until I installed this manually | 04:56 |
| bzaks | if you want to make it something that's scheduled, look at crontab | 04:57 |
| Tomf12 | what does "Ignoring unkown interface eth0 = eth0" mean anyway? | 04:57 |
| bzaks | its an easy and free solution | 04:57 |
| tritium | Neo1211: then I'm not convinced you've tried it | 04:57 |
| __grepper | bzaks: what does kernel panic mean? | 04:57 |
| Neo1211 | Tell me how to try that instead then. | 04:57 |
| nxmehta | Agent_bob: i'm actually asking about where udev is setting up those assignments | 04:57 |
| __grepper | is that related to ext2 in some way? | 04:57 |
| nxmehta | Agent_bob: i'm trying to learn how to write udev rules | 04:57 |
| Agent_bob | oh. nxmehta maybe in /lib/udev | 04:57 |
| tritium | !bcm43xx | Neo1211 | 04:57 |
| ubottu | Neo1211: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 04:57 |
| Doc8404 | it didnt work :( bash:unknown command | 04:58 |
| Neo1211 | -_- | 04:58 |
| bzaks | __grepper: do you know anything about programming? Sometimes logic fails, it throws an exception. When its handling the exception, sometimes THAT logic fails, and you have what's called a kernel panic (meaning it can't resolve the crisis at hand) and it crashes | 04:58 |
| Neo1211 | That's where I got this all from... | 04:58 |
| Neo1211 | Waiit, nevermind. I'll try it, tritium, I used the no fluff version before. | 04:58 |
| __grepper | bzaks: yes, I'm a Java developer | 04:58 |
| Agent_bob | nxmehta you might consult dpkg -L udev | less for a list of all the files that package installs. helpful in many way. | 04:59 |
| bzaks | __grepper: me too, so you should understand that. | 04:59 |

| bravo7 | Can i zoom out more or make my screen wider | 04:59 |
| __grepper | bzaks: if I decide to pursue a fix, do you think I could find anything? could that be related to ext2 partition or something like that? | 05:00 |
| === lacqui_ is now known as lacqui | ||
| tritium | Neo1211: follow this instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy | 05:00 |
| Tails5 | Okay, sorry to bother you again but I get an error saying Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 | 05:00 |
| Neo1211 | Even though I have Feisty? | 05:00 |
| aceumus | upgrade to Intrepid | 05:01 |
| bzaks | __grepper: the hard part is finding the EXACT point of failure and figuring out why... Which is why most ubuntu users will tell you that a distro upgrade should be handled with a fresh install... Even though the updater may work 70% of the time (by my numbers of trying it) its not always the best idea | 05:01 |
| tritium | Neo1211: no, you didn't mention that. | 05:01 |
| [TiZ] | I'm trying to close up my customized liveCD so I can see how big it is before I go any further. But I can't do "sudo umount edit/dev". It tells me that the "device is busy." What do I do? | 05:01 |
| Tails5 | I'm running Intrepid Ibex | 05:01 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: My bad.. well, I am. | 05:01 |
| tritium | Neo1211: any reason you've not upgraded? | 05:01 |
| __grepper | bzaks: it failed during the new kernel compilation | 05:01 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: Have no reason to at the time. | 05:01 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: It was a huge pain to get this laptop to even run ubuntu | 05:02 |
| aceumus | try another distro | 05:02 |
| tritium | Neo1211: that pain would be lessened with newer drivers | 05:02 |
| bzaks | __grepper, ubuntu uses pre-compiled kernels, are you compiling your own kernel? | 05:02 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: My problems were with not only the wireless, but with my nvidia graphics card, and my soundcard. | 05:02 |
| nickrud | Tails5, you should ask intrepid questions on #ubuntu+1 | 05:02 |
| Tails5 | Okay, thanks | 05:03 |
| [TiZ] | I'm trying to close up my customized liveCD so I can see how big it is before I go any further. But I can't do "sudo umount edit/dev". It tells me that the "device is busy." What do I do? | 05:03 |
| aceumus | what version of Ubuntu are you using NEO1211 | 05:03 |
| tritium | Neo1211: again, all more likely to be resolved with newer releases | 05:03 |
| Neo1211 | aceumus: Feisty | 05:03 |
| __grepper | bzaks | 05:03 |
| __grepper | nope | 05:03 |
| __grepper | bzaks: nope, sorry | 05:03 |
| __grepper | bzaks: it was during the kernel update | 05:03 |
| aceumus | have you tried a later version | 05:03 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: Perhaps.. maybe you know of what I'm talking about. I have a Compaq Presario F700 | 05:03 |
| aceumus | hardy or intrepid | 05:03 |
| tritium | aceumus: that's what I've been asking him | 05:03 |
| dasickis | magically my Compact Flash cards have begun working but when i partition using fdisk and write to it and say sudo fdisk -l again it shows "Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table" | 05:03 |

| FloodBot2 | __grepper: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:04 |
| tritium | Neo1211: No, I'm not fmailiar with that product | 05:04 |
| bzaks | __grepper: ooooh, okay. Yeah, that's a biggie. Can you boot into a safe mode or possibly use an older kernel when booting? (in grub) | 05:04 |
| aceumus | i had a similar issue with a compaq presario laptop | 05:04 |
| Neo1211 | kuthux: I have it :/ | 05:04 |
| dasickis | i say fdisk /dev/sda; n; p; 1; <Return>; <Return>; w and it deson't do anything | 05:04 |
| __grepper | bzaks: I am trying to find a PS/2 keyboard somewhere to figure it out :D | 05:04 |
| Agent_bob | Tails5 sounds like the module for your card may not be inserted, or the identifier may have been changed. either way check with ifconfig -a for a list of recognized network devices. | 05:04 |
| tritium | familiar, even | 05:04 |
| aceumus | try a later version | 05:04 |
| Tails5 | Thanks very much | 05:05 |
| aceumus | normally it would fix any driver issues | 05:05 |
| kuthux | Neo1211: with the wl_apsta.o | 05:05 |
| bzaks | __grepper: you mean you don't have an IBM model M? | 05:05 |
| bzaks | lol | 05:05 |
| bzaks | :-D | 05:05 |
| bronzewalla84 | trying to play mp3s over a network fails in amarok, but works fine in totem, anyone know a reason this could be happening | 05:05 |
| [TiZ] | I'm trying to close up my customized liveCD so I can see how big it is before I go any further. But I can't do "sudo umount edit/dev". It tells me that the "device is busy." What do I do? | 05:05 |
| tritium | Neo1211: case in point, the bcm43xx module in the hardy kernel supports that natively, without the need for ndiswrapper | 05:05 |
| Neo1211 | kuthux: wl_apsta.o? Where's that? | 05:05 |
| bzaks | bronzwalla84: is the network thing an nfs mount or streaming? | 05:05 |
| aceumus | i have a dual head issue with hardy but when i upgraded to intrepid it worked perfectly | 05:05 |
| __grepper | bzaks: OK, found one | 05:05 |
| __grepper | bzaks: I have the Ubuntu Server 7.01 running | 05:06 |

| tritium | __grepper: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:06 |
| keven | yo tu des francais ??? | 05:06 |
| kuthux | Neo1211: when u install b43-fwcutter via apt-get from the repo, it will automatically download the rest thing, included the wl_apsta.o | 05:06 |
| aceumus | by using the latest version you eliminate previous bugs found in earlier software | 05:06 |

| keven | oui | 05:06 |
| Agent_bob | __grepper as root of course | 05:06 |
| bzaks | __grepper, on boot, shouldn't you be able to hit escape and change the kernel version? | 05:06 |
| kuthux | Neo1211: my card is broadcomm too, even now i can do injection with it >:) | 05:07 |
| Neo1211 | kuthux: I must already have it then | 05:07 |
| __grepper | bzaks: I'll try that! | 05:07 |

| __grepper | bzaks: what do I do? edit? | 05:07 |
| bzaks | [TiZ] seriously, if you keep sending the same note, we're going to accuse you of being a bot | 05:07 |
| tritium | Neo1211: save yourself the hassle, and use hardy. The bcm43xx module supports your card. | 05:08 |
| __grepper | bzaks: Thanks! | 05:08 |
| bzaks | __grepper, there's no other choice in the menu? there should at least be safe mode | 05:08 |
| Agent_bob | __grepper [esc] select the identifier in the boot list and hit [e] select the line and hit [e] edit the line as you would in a terminal and hit [enter] [b] to boot | 05:08 |
| bzaks | bronzewalla84: interesting, and amarok just can't play it? has it added it to its database? | 05:08 |
| [TiZ] | I'm not a bot. But I am severely annoyed. | 05:09 |

| ezzieyguywuf | [i] [am] [annoyed] [beep] | 05:09 |

| Neo1211 | kuthux: Where, for you, is this file? | 05:09 |
| asdfkk | Neo1211: that is not really on topic. if you want to do more than use the wifi card please visit the corresponding website. aircrack-ng site has that information. | 05:09 |
| __grepper | bzaks: should I hit <ESC> during the normal load or inside the Server live CD? | 05:10 |
| Neo1211 | What | 05:10 |
| Neo1211 | ? | 05:10 |
| aceumus | as soon as grub loads | 05:10 |
| ChunkStyle | __grepper: It will start to count backwards from 8 | 05:10 |
| bzaks | __grepper: take out the cd. | 05:10 |
| ChunkStyle | then hit escape | 05:10 |
| aceumus | there should be a countdown | 05:10 |
| ChunkStyle | choose your kernel | 05:10 |
| tritium | Neo1211: you're not listenning about the bcm43xx module | 05:10 |
| Agent_bob | __grepper normal grub | 05:10 |
| [TiZ] | Each and every time, I come in here with a problem. I try to be patient and wait. I even help others while I wait! But no matter what, I am ignored, all the time! I'm sick of it! | 05:10 |
| tritium | listening* | 05:10 |
| __grepper | duh | 05:10 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: I am | 05:10 |
| __grepper | got it | 05:10 |
| __grepper | trying another kernel | 05:10 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: It's not an option right now, though | 05:10 |
| bzaks | I'm sorry [TiZ] no one has an answer, remember we're all just volunteers | 05:10 |
| [TiZ] | I understand you're all volunteers and you don't HAVE to help me. But I've been in here like, 15 times with the same result each time. | 05:11 |
| aceumus | whats the question TIZ | 05:11 |
| __grepper | thanks a bunch guys | 05:11 |
| [TiZ] | I'm trying to close up my customized liveCD so I can see how big it is before I go any further. But I can't do "sudo umount edit/dev". It tells me that the "device is busy." What do I do? | 05:11 |
| __grepper | it seems to be booting | 05:11 |
| tritium | [TiZ]: likely, nobody in the channel has tried to make their own live cd like you're doing. | 05:11 |
| bzaks | __grepper: don't get your hopes up | 05:11 |
| kuthux | i've downloaded manually, a can send u via mail ( i don't remember where did i get it :D ) | 05:11 |
| bzaks | lol | 05:11 |
| Neo1211 | well.. tritium: Is there anyway, other than backing up my stuff to another hard drive/cd, to save all my files and just update the OS? | 05:11 |
| kuthux | Neo1211: i've downloaded manually, a can send u via mail ( i don't remember where did i get it :D ) | 05:11 |
| tritium | Neo1211: the normal upgrade paths to new releases | 05:11 |
| bzaks | neo1211: yeah, you can use USB! hahahahaha. | 05:12 |
| aceumus | of cant umount because the disc is mounted with the OS running in RAM | 05:12 |
| Tokorona | I've got a similar problem, but I figured there's a delayed process running. Too lazy too figure it out | 05:12 |
| kuthux | but Neo1211 how did u install b43-fwcutter ? | 05:12 |
| Neo1211 | bzaks: Other than that too | 05:12 |
| [TiZ] | I'm using the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, and I mounted edit/dev with sudo mount --bind /dev/ edit/dev | 05:12 |
| eross | what's the most compatible format I can export my mini-dv at highest quality using kino? I have 4Gb disks and the tapes are standard minidvs | 05:12 |
| Neo1211 | kuthux: apt-get | 05:12 |
| tritium | kuthux: that's not the optimal path for him to follow | 05:12 |
| aceumus | in order to view the size on your hard drive choose install | 05:12 |
| Agent_bob | [TiZ] find what is still in the mounted fs and close it | 05:12 |
| bzaks | neo1211: So you want to save all your files? but not to an HD, cd, or USB, what about NFS? | 05:12 |
| ChunkStyle | [TiZ]: Check this out; http://wubi-installer.org/ | 05:12 |
| Neo1211 | tritium, here's where i stand.. if I'm going to upgrade, its going to have to be quick | 05:12 |
| Agent_bob | [TiZ] a terminal or anything will hold a mount | 05:12 |

| [TiZ] | Agent_bob: Okay. I'll close out my nautilus, gedit, and gnome-terminals. | 05:13 |
| * __grepper thanks everybody | 05:13 | |
| Neo1211 | I did locate wl_apsta.o, kuthux, and got nothing. | 05:13 |
| tritium | ChunkStyle: not particularly useful advice | 05:14 |
| [TiZ] | ChunkStyle: Wubi makes a good starting point. But I'd rather not piggyback a loopmounted installation on a NTFS partition. | 05:14 |
| kuthux | Neo1211: sudo b43-fwcutter wl_apsta.o | 05:14 |
| [TiZ] | Not for my entire linux career, even. | 05:14 |
| Neo1211 | Cannot open input file wl_apsta.o | 05:14 |

| __grepper | so far so good | 05:15 |
| bravo7 | is 8.10 beta out or | 05:15 |
| [TiZ] | Tsk... still busy. How can I find out what's using it? | 05:15 |

| GaMbi_DK | anyone got a fix for: files that I put on my desktop (extended to the left course thats where my TV is) appears as fare left as it can.. normal I guess.. but cant I change this? to force new items to be place on primary screen? | 05:15 |
| Tokorona | That reminds me. Is uh.. there anyway to mount a usb drive during startup to install a distro off? | 05:15 |
| Agent_bob | [TiZ] if it's any consolation, i put linux on a bootable flash stick but i don't recall ever using it sense then. | 05:15 |
| tritium | __grepper: good! | 05:16 |
| aceumus | you have to boot from USB | 05:16 |
| Agent_bob | [TiZ] fuser | 05:16 |
| Tokorona | Ah. So I just need a decent bios then? | 05:16 |
| tritium | bravo7: beta is out. 14 more days until stable release | 05:16 |
| [TiZ] | Agent_bob: I'm just trying to make it so that I won't have to install all my apps whenever I reinstall. And for the learning experience. | 05:16 |
| smm289 | any ideas as to why certain screenlets will not load after I re-login. I have the auto start on login selected. | 05:16 |
| Agent_bob | [TiZ] yeah that last part was why i did. | 05:16 |
| Tokorona | Because I'm going to be installing either ubuntu or ubuntu-eee on a laptop with xandros and I'm unsure if my usbstick has enough space for eitehr. | 05:17 |
| abngal | Hi everyone. Is there any way to focus windows in ubuntu when I am hovering over its app icon on the avant window manager or even just on a simple ubuntu taskbar? | 05:17 |
| [TiZ] | Not to mention preserving the fix for Quod Libet's file system browser for all eternity. | 05:17 |
| Agent_bob | [TiZ] anyway fuser can find what is holding it open. and as i recall some times one may need to "losetup" the loop device to get a clean dismount of loopfs | 05:17 |
| aceumus | you need at least a 4gb flash drive | 05:18 |
| Some_Person | Is there a modified usplash-artwork-ubuntu.so file that works correctly with 1280x800? | 05:18 |
| Agent_bob | aceumus i used a 2g | 05:18 |
| aceumus | google: how to run ubuntu from flash drive | 05:18 |
| [TiZ] | Oh, holy--!!! This is an exaggeration, but the number of processes using /live/edit/dev... is OVER 900!!! | 05:18 |
| Tails51 | I did ifconfig -a and discovered that eth0 was already there, then I forced the configuration of eth0 and manually set the IP to the correct one, and it can resolve things but after it resolves the IP address it says network unreachable | 05:18 |
| Tokorona | ... ah. I was afraid of that. Thanks for telling me that. | 05:18 |
| [TiZ] | Er, 9000!!! | 05:18 |
| aceumus | top response is pen drive linux | 05:18 |
| aceumus | howtos | 05:18 |
| Tails51 | Over 9000?! | 05:18 |
| tritium | aceumus: 1 GB should suffice | 05:18 |
| * Tokorona only has a 1gig drive. | 05:18 | |
| Agent_bob | [TiZ] ummm i'd say it is busy then... | 05:19 |
| tritium | Tokorona: CDs are only 700MB. A 1 GB USB stick is enough. | 05:19 |
| [TiZ] | I used the following command to mount it: "sudo mount --bind /dev/ edit/dev" | 05:19 |
| [TiZ] | Maybe I should like... unbind, or something? | 05:19 |
| Agent_bob | Tails51 -a lists all network devices with out -a it will only list the configured "up" ones. | 05:19 |
| unitedp0tsmokers | hi, how to use bearshare application on ubuntu. i install the bearshare application with wine and the installation process is fine, but when i open bearshare, it will close automatically.. why? | 05:19 |
| Some_Person | Is there a modified usplash-artwork-ubuntu.so file that works correctly with 1280x800? | 05:19 |
| Tails51 | Yes, but I did ifup -a to make it load, then ifconfig -a loaded it | 05:20 |
| Agent_bob | [TiZ] sync and go for it. | 05:20 |
| Tails51 | Then I used ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 | 05:20 |
| Tails51 | To assign the IP | 05:20 |
| Tokorona | Hm, well, I should go find a readme so I can work on booting it. | 05:20 |
| Tokorona | Thanks! | 05:20 |
| Tails51 | But it could only resolve, and not actually reach the IPs | 05:20 |
| Agent_bob | Tails51 ifconfig -a doesn't load anything it only lists the recognized devices | 05:20 |
| [TiZ] | Uhm... I don't actually know what you're talking about. BRB. | 05:20 |
| Tails51 | I just said that I did ifup-a | 05:21 |
| Some_Person | Is there a modified usplash-theme-ubuntu.so file that works correctly with 1280x800? | 05:21 |

| khalood | Tokorona: sorry ? | 05:22 |
| Agent_bob | Tails51 ok you can change the routing table too. in case you have a wrong default gateway set. sudo route add default gw <ip here> | 05:22 |
| Tokorona | When you tried to access the NTFS drive, was it via Samba, or normal? | 05:22 |
| GaMbi_DK | Is it possible to set "do not allow icons" on my 2nd desktop (my TV)? | 05:22 |
| khalood | Tokorona: no , normal | 05:23 |
| khalood | Tokorona: via the file explorer | 05:23 |
| jim_p | Some_Person: i *think* that the usplash pictures come in 4/3 resolutions, so even if you make one yourself, it will look distorted | 05:23 |
| jim_p | Some_Person: mine looks bad in 5/4 aspect ratio too | 05:23 |
| Tokorona | Khalood: Oh. Okay, I can't help much there. Sorry. | 05:23 |

| bronzewalla84 | bzaks, i guess i can't figure out how to add a network folder to amarok's collection | 05:25 |
| trimeta | I recently added a new RAID1 device to an existing system, but I can't boot because my initrd doesn't know about the new device (and thus doesn't initialize it properly, or whatever; ls /dev/md* doesn't show the device, is what I'm getting at). How can I rebuild my initrd to recognize all RAID1 devices I have set up? | 05:25 |
| Some_Person | jim_p: Doesn't help that I have absolutely no C experience | 05:25 |
| === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616_ | ||
| bzaks | bronzewalla84: the glory about nfs mounts is that they should be transparent to the applications | 05:25 |
| bzaks | bronzewalla84they should just look like part of the standard filesystem | 05:25 |
| jim_p | Some_Person: i think i had seen somewhere that a guy put a more than 1024*768 image, but it was 4/3 too. i dont have c experience either | 05:26 |
| Agent_bob | Some_Person just a thought. but what about making a "skinny" splash that would look right if streached out to the lappy screen ? | 05:26 |
| Some_Person | If someone knows more about C and/or usplash, I could easily send my image that *should* display correctly at 1280x800 | 05:26 |
| Some_Person | Agent_bob: That's what I tried | 05:26 |
| Agent_bob | Some_Person you made it 640x480 ? | 05:27 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: Upgrading to hardy | 05:27 |

| trimeta | No one know how to generate a new initrd, especially in the context of RAID1 devices? | 05:27 |
| tritium | Neo1211: another option is to wait 2 weeks, and upgrade to Intrepid. | 05:28 |
| bullgard4 | 2 days ago Update Manager offered a kernel update to 2.6.24-21. It asked if I would like to keep my old version of file /boot/grub/menu.lst. I acknowledged because I did not want to loose my framebuffer console. But now Grub does not offer me to boot the 2.6.24-21 kernel. What should I do? To insert by hand some 2.6.24-21 lines in /boot/grub/menu.list? | 05:28 |
| Some_Person | trimeta: sudo update-initramfs -u ? | 05:28 |
| bzaks | where is this nfs mount mounted? | 05:28 |
| Neo1211 | tritium: I found an easy, quick way to install it lol. Usually I burn the ISO and stuff.. I'm just doing it through the upgrade manager | 05:28 |
| trimeta | Some_Person: I'll try it. | 05:28 |
| Jakob_the_liar | i just compiled mplayer | 05:28 |
| bronzewalla84 | it's not mounted to any specific directory, all i did was go to Network in nautilus and it was right there | 05:28 |
| tritium | Neo1211: ok, you have to go feisty -> gutsy -> hardy, you know | 05:28 |
| Jakob_the_liar | but there is no skin or bar or whats it called | 05:28 |
| Jakob_the_liar | what option do i need to get it? | 05:28 |
| Neo1211 | ? | 05:29 |
| Neo1211 | I clicked the thing to upgrade to Hardy, tritium | 05:29 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: why not? | 05:29 |
| bzaks | bronzewalla84: hang on, you need to look up mtab so you can see where its mounted, and so do I so I can see where to tell you where to look | 05:29 |
| Neo1211 | Wait, what version is Gutsy | 05:29 |
| tritium | !upgrade | Neo1211 | 05:29 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: what options do you now have in grub? | 05:29 |
| ubottu | Neo1211: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:29 |

| Agent_bob | Some_Person i'm talking about. taking a picture that is viewed correctly at 1280x960 and resizing (skewing) it to 640x480x8 < that should in theory work on any standard display but the actual shape would be right for a short-screen (aka wide screen) | 05:30 |
| ferretonthelus | i am running hardy, youtube videos keep locking up firefox. any ideas why? | 05:30 |
| Some_Person | I guess I'll just have to try again with usplash tomorrow | 05:30 |
| jim_p | Jakob_the_liar: too bad you compiled mplayer yourself. mplayer is in the repos | 05:31 |
| Some_Person | Agent_bob: I understand | 05:31 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: To answer your 1st question: "Earlier" Ubuntu's Update Manager was intelligent enough to upgrade also menu.lst. Why has it lost this intelligence? | 05:31 |
| eross | Been thinking about it, putting an excellent multi-user system into the hands of average single-user seems kind of driving a lambroughini around town for mundane errands? | 05:31 |
| bzaks | bronzewalla84: do a vi (or nano or pico) on /etc/mtab | 05:31 |
| Agent_bob | it's worth a shot. </shrugs> | 05:31 |

| tritium | Neo1211: corect | 05:31 |

| Neo1211 | alright. | 05:31 |
| Jakob_the_liar | yea well it wasnt working with my window manager jim_p | 05:31 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and i was told compiling is better | 05:31 |
| jim_p | Jakob_the_liar: what wm? | 05:31 |
| Some_Person | Agent_bob: What I tried to do was add a new screen res to the usplash theme, with an image that looks good at 1280x800 stretched to 1280x960 | 05:31 |
| Jakob_the_liar | awesome | 05:31 |
| Agent_bob | Neo1211 but if in doubt. no substitute for backups | 05:32 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: To answer your 2nd question: "options" is an ambiguous word having many meanings. What 'options' do you mean? | 05:32 |
| bronzewalla84 | bzaks, here's my mtab http://pastebin.com/d6463aa1e | 05:32 |
| Agent_bob | Some_Person right. but i'm not sure you can. the kernel is the limitation. | 05:32 |
| Doonz | smb://main/1_2tb/ <-- i have this mounted how do i set the permissions so i can write and read to directories and files? | 05:32 |
| Some_Person | Has someone already done what I'm trying to do, or do I just have to do it myself? | 05:32 |
| Some_Person | Agent_bob: True | 05:32 |
| Some_Person | Agent_bob: I suppose I can try modifying the original 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 images | 05:33 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: how manu grub entries do you have there? grub will make a new entry of a new kernel is installed(eg 2.6.24 to 2.6.25) or if the installation script tell it to make a new entry (in cases of 2.6.24-x to 2.6.24-y) | 05:33 |
| trimeta | Some_Person: For reference, when update-initramfs makes a new initramfs, what is it basing this off of? The current system state? Basically, I want to know if it will recognize the various modules and things I have currently loaded to handle RAID1s, and in particular all of the RAID1s currently on my system. | 05:33 |
| Agent_bob | Some_Person right. | 05:33 |

| eross | bustaplz - don't forget to copy permissions too, unless you're the only user | 05:43 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz might want -a | 05:43 |

| Robert___ | Hey guys, Ubuntu n00b here. I'm going to install Ubuntu to dual-boot with Windows and test it out. I noticed 8.10 is coming out in two weeks. Would it be easy to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10, or should I just wait two weeks to install? I don't mind waiting if it's a PITA to upgrade. | 05:44 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz man cp look at -a | 05:44 |
| eross | nevermind, you prob dont need to worry about them | 05:44 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: it just says archive. | 05:44 |
| bzaks | Robert__ us virtual box in windows to play with 8.04, and learn the ropes, then use 8.10 for the full deal | 05:45 |
| bzaks | use* | 05:45 |
| kuthux | bronzewalla84: that's after smbfs installed. and i think it's universal. cmiiw | 05:45 |
| bullgard4 | Robert___: Just install 8.04. Wait before you upgrade to 8.10 until begin of 2009. This will give you the least headaches. | 05:46 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz cp -a source1 source2 any files in source1 and source2 will be overwriten in source2 by the ones in source1 any not in source2 will be added, and any not in source1 will be ignored. | 05:46 |
| Robert___ | bullgard4: Why? | 05:46 |
| === schmick_ is now known as schmick | ||
| bzaks | robert__ because you're a n00b | 05:47 |
| bustaplz | So would that be the most efficient way of doing it? I'm going to be copying a minimum of 10gb dir and if I'm rewriting each file in overwrite it would take a long time I think? | 05:47 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz it doesn't just say archive. it says same as -dpR | 05:47 |
| bzaks | you want it to work, not have to deal with possible bugs | 05:47 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz then no | 05:47 |
| bullgard4 | Robert___: You are too lazy to explain why you have reservations and expect me to give you a complete lesson. -- No, I will not. | 05:47 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz you don't want cp for that. you want rsync | 05:47 |
| jim_p | lint: are you still there? something like this http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/images/screenshot-s5.png ? this is xfe | 05:47 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: Ahh, sync is more the word I'm looking for probably. | 05:48 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz use the right tool for the job and we all live longer happier lives :) | 05:48 |
| Robert___ | bullgard4: My reservations are a difficult upgrade process. I don't see why waiting until 2009 would make a difference. | 05:48 |
| bronzewalla84 | it tells me the connection is being refused | 05:48 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: just did man on rsync sounds like EXACTLY what I wanted! | 05:48 |
| lint | jim_p, yeah that is what i am looking for, does it work in gnome | 05:49 |
| prince_jammys | bustaplz: use rsync | 05:49 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: And I can use it similarly to cp? | 05:49 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz and not "sync" 'rsync' sync is a command to but it just syncornizes the disks with the disk cache | 05:49 |
| prince_jammys | bustaplz: oh, sorry, i see someone already mentioned it. | 05:49 |
| jim_p | lint: yes. you can also look at pcmanfm | 05:49 |
| bullgard4 | Robert___: Because experience from the past tells that every new Ubuntu version is full of errors. These errors will be eliminated in 2 months after launch time. | 05:49 |
| bzaks | bronzewalla: which implementation? | 05:50 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz yes rsync is what you want there. with the correct switches of course. | 05:50 |
| jim_p | lint: i *still* cant find that 2 panel file manager i used once | 05:50 |
| Robert___ | bullgard4: Ok, so stick with 8.04 because it's stable. When 8.10 stabilizes, would it be easy to upgrade from within Ubuntu or would I have to install over? That's the crux of my question. | 05:50 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: So for a directory full of directories I would need $rsync -r /source /destination? | 05:50 |
| * Agent_bob types attrociusly | 05:51 | |
| Agent_bob | and spells worse | 05:51 |
| jim_p | lint: kde aps do work under gnome but they need loads of libraries | 05:51 |
| prince_jammys | there's examples in the rsync man page | 05:51 |

| bzaks | Mr_Cool59: check your bios settings, sometimes it disallows sleep and hibernate | 05:52 |
| bullgard4 | Robert___: For an experienced Ubuntu user it is less work to upgrade. For an Ubuntu beginner it may be less work to install over. Depends on the amount of operating system knowledge. | 05:52 |

| bronzewalla84 | and the second tells me the connection is refused, after it prompts for password | 05:53 |
| Robert___ | bullgard4: I would call myself an advanced computer user but I have not used Ubuntu desktop before. I run a LAMP server, so I'm familiar with package management, I know what bash is, etc. | 05:53 |
| bronzewalla84 | ok, wasn't sure about that | 05:53 |
| Agent_bob | carpediem can -a and -H be combined in rsync ? | 05:53 |
| bullgard4 | Robert___: So probably it will be less work to upgrade. | 05:54 |
| Robert___ | bullgard4: Ok, thanks for your help. | 05:54 |

| Agent_bob | subdolus so select the correct device node. i was playing off of your information. | 06:14 |
| subdolus | Agent_bob: maybe it should be /dev/sg2 instead of /dev/sdg2 ? | 06:14 |
| Agent_bob | subdolus if you can mount sg2 you are miles ahead of me. | 06:14 |
| subdolus | will it break thingss if I try it? | 06:14 |
| Agent_bob | subdolus you can maybe find the device node with command sudo fdisk -l | 06:15 |

| tophyr | same as "now" | 06:17 |
| tyberion_ | ahw, ok...good for turning off after a movie or sumthing:) | 06:17 |
| bzaks | subdolus: why don't you do this: ls /dev/ | grep -E "sd[a-g][0-9]" | 06:18 |
| bzaks | you can see all your HDs that way | 06:18 |
| bzaks | in dev | 06:18 |
| tophyr | tyberion_: "shutdown --help" to find out more about the command | 06:18 |
| GaMbi_DK | O M G.. PLZ help!! what happens when i push "delete on keyboard" when my music folder is selected instead of an empty folder and i just push enter?.. it is NOT in my trash can.. the folder was on my NTFS (normaly used in windows) drive.. plz plz PLZ advice! | 06:18 |
| Agent_bob | subdolus ummm i'm not that familear with sd cards. should be seen as an scsi device though. try this for q in g f e d c b a ;do file -s /dev/sd$q && return 0 ;done 2>/dev/null | 06:18 |
| bzaks | GaMbi_DK: reboot to windows and use FreeUndelete to recover it | 06:19 |
| tophyr | bzaks: why not just "ls /dev/sd*" :) | 06:19 |
| subdolus | yeah bzaks, I'm with tophyr | 06:19 |
| owen1 | i want to install ruby-full on ubuntu. it is about to install emacs as well. can i tell aptitude not to do it? | 06:19 |
| subdolus | and it still only shows my internal and extern hdd's | 06:19 |
| bzaks | tophyr: because ... um... ...... ..... I like regular expressions? | 06:20 |
| tophyr | hahaha | 06:20 |
| newlife | Installed X-CD-Roast and when run 1st time get error " No root configuration file found or not readable! The superuser must start and configure X-CD-Roast first, before other users can use it. " quote - Someone explain what to do to make this work ? ? | 06:20 |
| Agent_bob | subdolus then you may need a module inserted, again you are playing just over the fence from me. i'm not versed on sd cards. | 06:21 |
| bzaks | I don't even know what an SD card is... unless you're talking about the little things you can just use as flash drives.. then they should be no different than some sorta usb device | 06:21 |
| GaMbi_DK | sata isnt it? :S | 06:22 |
| GaMbi_DK | anyways.. what do I do guys | 06:22 |
| Agent_bob | bzaks yes that's what i'm thinking. should show as /dev/sd? but he's not seeing it. maybe remove and insert the card then run dmesg | tail -10 | 06:22 |
| bzaks | Gambi_DK: I told you: reboot to windows and use FreeUndelete | 06:23 |
| GaMbi_DK | "ls /dev/sd*" lists my devs? so what? :) | 06:23 |
| koko | heyy | 06:23 |
| bzaks | Agent_bob, I'm pretty sure that Sd cards, like the little memory cards won't be listed as an SD device. | 06:23 |
| GaMbi_DK | hmm.. just sounded like there was some easier way? | 06:23 |
| tophyr | Agent_bob: i'm jumping in right in the middle, but an SD card will probably *not* show up as an sd* device, from my understanding | 06:23 |
| steven__ | my name is steven | 06:23 |
| tophyr | sda, sdb etc are SCSI devices | 06:23 |
| bzaks | Those are reserved for Sata and ide | 06:23 |
| bzaks | yeah | 06:23 |
| Agent_bob | bzaks no ? | 06:23 |
| bzaks | what tophyr said | 06:23 |
| steven__ | linux | 06:24 |
| tophyr | Scsi Drive is what SD stands for | 06:24 |
| bzaks | steven__ yes, linux | 06:24 |
| tophyr | the SD in an SD Card is "Secure Digital" | 06:24 |
| tophyr | someone previously mentioned it will probably be listed as a usb device of some sort | 06:24 |
| * tophyr connects his usb drive to see what sorta device they are | 06:24 | |
| bzaks | EVERYONE! YOU MUST SEE THIS! A HEAVY METAL BEE GEES COVER BAND! (Sorry, I don't mean to spam) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhgjEObtrWE | 06:25 |
| tophyr | hmm, well, i'm wrong | 06:25 |
| tophyr | my flash drive is /dev/sdb1 | 06:25 |
| Agent_bob | subdolus you reading all this. see tophyr and bzaks | 06:25 |
| Anza | what folders should appear at ~/.wine/dosdevices? I am looking for D, to be able to install age of empires III, following some instructions but it doesnt exist | 06:26 |
| bzaks | Well, I thought S in SD* meant Serial | 06:26 |
| Agent_bob | cause sd cards are out of my reach atm. | 06:26 |
| CorbinFox | ive always heard it to be Secure Digital | 06:26 |
| subdolus | it can mount any other SD card | 06:26 |
| subdolus | just not this one, with microSD card inside the normal sized one | 06:26 |
| GaMbi_DK | ok.. logging windows.. ... :( brb :( | 06:26 |
| subdolus | but the microSD card works on windows | 06:26 |
| tophyr | bzaks: you're probably right on that one as well, my laptop has /dev/sda1 and i was pretty sure it wasn't a scsi drive but didn't bother to check | 06:26 |
| tophyr | GaMbi_DK: windows will be the only way to recover it, if it is recoverable | 06:27 |
| subdolus | this box mounts all over SD cards under /dev/sd* | 06:27 |
| outbackwifi | !hi | outbackwifi | 06:27 |
| ubottu | outbackwifi, please see my private message | 06:27 |

| erpo | I have a laptop with a 1920x1200 LCD. Is there a way I can set the resolution to 1280x800 instead? It doesn't appear as a mode in the output of xrandr. | 06:28 |
| Agent_bob | subdolus as to why not that one. i have no idea. | 06:28 |
| bzaks | Serial bob, seriously, its serial... that's what the first S in scsi stands for I'm 90% positive (prove me wrong and I go to bed) | 06:28 |
| Agent_bob | bzaks "<subdolus> this box mounts all over SD cards under /dev/sd*" << his words not mine. | 06:29 |
| bzaks | That's true, but that doesn't make it scsi | 06:29 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: I keep trying to unmount my external but it's telling me it's busy! How can I check what is accessing the drive? | 06:29 |

| Agent_bob | bustaplz is there a desktop icon for it ? | 06:29 |

| bustaplz | same thing | 06:30 |
| paul68 | bustaplz: did you see my script? | 06:30 |
| Agent_bob | well in a round about way. | 06:31 |
| bustaplz | tells me and application is preventing it | 06:31 |
| bustaplz | yes | 06:31 |
| bustaplz | want to see mine? | 06:31 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz ok. anything else open that might be in there ? | 06:31 |
| paul68 | bustaplz: you can run it at night and this is also a external harddrive but connected to my server | 06:32 |
| bustaplz | well i did listen to a song off of it using VLC | 06:32 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz is vlc still open ? | 06:32 |
| bustaplz | not visibly | 06:32 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz you have to close it in it's menu not the [X] | 06:32 |
| bustaplz | if I had a task manager I could check =P | 06:32 |
| Gumby | hi all. Ive just set up a raid0 array an when I mount the device and then do a df -h the numbers just dont add up. Is this normal "/dev/md0 147G 188M 140G 1% /media/storage" | 06:32 |

| Agent_bob | bustaplz yeah | 06:32 |
| Gumby | axisys: does amarok do it? (works for ipod) | 06:33 |
| bustaplz | hmm no go | 06:33 |
| bustaplz | how do I check what processes are running? | 06:33 |
| Gumby | bustaplz: ps | 06:33 |
| Niko_s | help_ not work WiFi button ON (Acer Aspire 5720Z) | 06:34 |

| After_Math | how can I see what service is running on a certain port? | 06:35 |
| bustaplz | you know what I opened it with the default player originally but it was .wma so I opened it in VLC | 06:35 |
| nickrud | After_Math, sudo netstat -tlpn | 06:35 |
| After_Math | nickrud, thanks | 06:36 |
| Agent_bob | After_Math netstat | 06:36 |
| Agent_bob | nickrud | 06:36 |
| nickrud | Agent_bob, I've typed that so many times, it's like typing my name ;) | 06:36 |

| GaMbi | Im on windows now.. I got FreeUndelete installed... I can only scan my C and D drive but ubuntu is on another drive that I cant see.. the music was stored on D thought.. what am I lookin for ? the folder should be in there with the same name as normal? | 06:37 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz so you learned a new command for free | 06:37 |
| Gumby | After_Math: netstat -tpan |grep :port_number | 06:37 |
| After_Math | Gumby, great thanks | 06:37 |
| bustaplz | i've learned a ton of commands but can't figure out umount apparently | 06:38 |
| Julio | Buenas noches | 06:38 |
| Gumby | After_Math: nickrud's way works too but you have to look at the IP/ports to figure out what you need | 06:38 |
| nickrud | bustaplz, umount /path/to/mount/directory works, sudo is sometimes needed | 06:38 |

| bustaplz | i'm using $sudo umount /media/WDPassport | 06:39 |
| Gumby | nickrud :) | 06:39 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz did you right click the icon and tell it to umount | 06:39 |
| nickrud | bustaplz, make sure you don't have a terminal open to that directory, or one below it | 06:39 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: yes, it gives me the same message | 06:39 |
| Gumby | bustaplz: are you using a program that is browsing that directory | 06:39 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz even now ? | 06:39 |
| Julio | Gracias | 06:39 |
| bustaplz | yes | 06:39 |
| Gumby | bustaplz: lsof |grep WDPassport might tell you if you are | 06:39 |
| bustaplz | wow I'm terrible | 06:40 |
| bustaplz | i had a terminal open that I had used to browse the drive | 06:40 |
| bustaplz | i closed that tab | 06:40 |
| bustaplz | but I guess it doesn't work that way | 06:40 |

| bustaplz | and voila it unmounted | 06:40 |

| GaMbi | was told that I should log windows and download "FreeUndelete" but I dont really know what to look for | 06:41 |
| bustaplz | I typed that and got no return | 06:41 |
| nickrud | GaMbi, the music was on an ntfs drive? If so, the people in ##windows know a lot more about how to undelete that stuff | 06:41 |
| bustaplz | Wasn't sure what it was supposed to do. | 06:41 |
| bustaplz | now to test out my script | 06:42 |
| nickrud | bustaplz, most command line stuff only outputs on error. No response == success ;) | 06:42 |

| qweqweqwe | AllNewToMe, if it is really all new to you you want to get an article from one of the linux magazines (online perhaps) and follow that, wine can be a bit tricky | 06:45 |
| bustaplz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/58677/ | 06:46 |
| qweqweqwe | if you need to run windows applications i find it easier to install windows xp or whatever inside a virtualbox virtual machine | 06:46 |
| bustaplz | the errors are under the line | 06:46 |
| Agent_bob | k looking | 06:46 |
| tarelerulz | When I look up meta tagging for movies in general I don't fine anything. It just seem like something no one does that . | 06:46 |
| thanatos | tarelerulz, http://tvtagger.wordpress.com/ | 06:46 |
| qweqweqwe | thanatos, fan of freud? | 06:47 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: actually I think I know what happened, I messed up the mount point. It doesn't seem to like me mounting in /media | 06:47 |
| chrziz-laptop | Anyone have a sec to help troubleshoot my wireless problems? I was connected but now cannot. | 06:47 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz i see two things already. if that's a removable drive you need to use the UUID and not a device node. also you need to mkdir -p your mountpoint. | 06:47 |
| bustaplz | what is a UUID? | 06:48 |
| bustaplz | i'll man the mkdir | 06:48 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz location is not the issue. you can use mkdir -p for that. and as to UUID type in command blkid | 06:48 |
| error404notfound | hi! I am trying to install xenman, and I get: http://pastebin.com/m5731be1d | 06:48 |
| thanatos | qweqweqwe, don't know yet (looking up on wikipedia) | 06:49 |
| debCarlos | which app do you recommend me to record audio&&video (webcam & sound recorder) ? | 06:49 |
| qweqweqwe | thanatos, maybe not then, but sigmund freud coined the term thanatos, meaning death wish instinct | 06:49 |
| trimeta | Still no one here who can help with a weird RAID-related problem? | 06:49 |
| qweqweqwe | trimeta, tried ##linux? | 06:49 |
| trimeta | qweqweqwe: I'll take a look. | 06:50 |
| bustaplz | actually, I did the mkdir -p and it worked! | 06:50 |
| thanatos | oh right | 06:50 |
| bustaplz | i seem to have a permission problem with sdparm | 06:50 |
| paducahguy | hello ? | 06:50 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz the UUID line will look something like mount UUID="2918-0E09" /media/WDPassport -o umask=000 | 06:50 |
| thanatos | qweqweqwe, oh right, sorry, i came up with it a long time ago, forgot | 06:50 |
| thanatos | qweqweqwe, yes | 06:51 |
| bustaplz | how can I look up this UUID? | 06:51 |
| slylias | how can I check the wifi signal strength? (I'm writting c code for ubuntu) | 06:51 |
| paducahguy | just curious if anyone can see what i'm typing... | 06:51 |
| slylias | well, under ubuntu | 06:51 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: is that a device specific name? | 06:51 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz the reason i say use uuid is because the device address will change but the uuid is writen in the fs itself | 06:51 |
| qweqweqwe | thanatos, he proposed that in order to cope with the idea that we'll all die, we each have an internal desire to die - bit freaky but almost the only freudian theory that still holds weight with modern psychologists... | 06:51 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz look at your /etc/fstab for examples | 06:51 |
| tarelerulz | thanatos, I have been looking for program to meta tag movies for months now. I have put eveything I can think of into google trying to find that and just found stuff on meta tagging mp3/song and all the sound formats ,but nothing on movies. What did you put into google | 06:52 |
| qweqweqwe | that oedipus stuff is crap | 06:52 |

| tarelerulz | thanatos is the link you showed me for windows ? | 06:53 |
| outbackwifi | chrziz-laptop: whats your configuration? | 06:53 |
| paul68 | Agent_bob the thing that is weird is that in my script I also use a external drive and here I have no problem using /media/backup1 as target | 06:53 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: if I do $mount I can see my drive(/dev/sde1) and it says uid=1000 in parenthesis, is this the same thing? | 06:54 |
| After_Math | How do I print out whats in a log file into a terminal? | 06:54 |
| tritium | qweqweqwe: :) | 06:54 |
| outbackwifi | paul68: i generally use the uuid to refer to the drives, that way its consistent; sudo blkid /dev/sda? will tell you its uuid | 06:54 |
| === freaky_t is now known as fReAky_t | ||
| thanatos | tarelerulz, ya, but if your desparate, wine is now past 1.0 | 06:54 |
| outbackwifi | After_Math: if its a plain text logfile cat logfile should do | 06:55 |
| bustaplz | outbackwifi: thanks! | 06:55 |
| outbackwifi | After_Math: if you want to look through it more logfile or less logfile helps | 06:55 |
| paul68 | outbackwifi: ok or is it because I use samba as wel in order to make it work | 06:55 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: I have the UUID now, how do I change my script to include the UUID rather than device node? | 06:56 |
| After_Math | outbackwifi, thank you sir :) | 06:56 |
| chrziz-laptop | outbackwifi: atheros 5418 trying to connect to wpa network | 06:56 |

| outbackwifi | chrziz-laptop: are you using madwifi or ndiswrapper | 06:56 |
| outbackwifi | paul68: i dont tthink samba and uuid work together | 06:56 |
| thanatos | tarelerulz, i use it to fix my files after i convert them to ipod format | 06:56 |
| === fReAky_t is now known as freaky_t | ||

| axisys | still need help with downloading music into iphone from ubuntu | 06:57 |
| chrziz-laptop | outbackwifi: I got it to work successfully for a couple days, then it just wont work today | 06:57 |
| axisys | i dont have any network.. want to do the whole thing using the usb data cable | 06:57 |
| outbackwifi | chrziz-laptop: what changed today? did you upgrade kernel or something? | 06:57 |
| bustaplz | Agent_bob: I think I figured it out! | 06:58 |
| tarelerulz | thanatos, I found out that banshee organizes movies and songs in a media library . | 06:58 |
| thanatos | tarelerulz, uh-huh | 06:58 |
| chrziz-laptop | outbackwifi: Yes, I did install some updates, could that have been it? | 07:00 |
| tophyr | hey, tarded question, how do i turn off Network Manager and just control the interfaces myself? | 07:00 |
| outbackwifi | chrziz-laptop: unless it was a kernel update, madwifi doesnt normally break; can you pastebin dmesg| grep ath ? | 07:01 |
| break_free | how does one format and unformatted drive? | 07:01 |
| outbackwifi | tophyr: right click on nm disable networking; open up terminal make entries in /etc/network/interfaces; use ifup ifdown to control | 07:02 |
| thanatos | break_free, sudo apt-get install gparted | 07:02 |
| thanatos | break_free, then run it | 07:02 |
| break_free | thanatos, thanks | 07:02 |

| lliw00 | would dvds that are dual layer have anything to do with libdvdcss not reading them properly? | 07:03 |
| debCarlos | why does cheese took so bad resolution photos? is there any way to fix it? | 07:03 |
| chrziz-laptop | outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/58684/ and thank you for helping! | 07:03 |
| break_free | lliw00: shouldn't matter | 07:03 |
| otaku42 | hi all | 07:03 |
| supravat | hello | 07:03 |
| lliw00 | break_free: then why cant my computer properly play dvds? iv followed every guide i could for hardy and nothing seems to be working | 07:04 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz you still here ? | 07:04 |
| thanatos | i have some code, how do i add it to /etc/init.d | 07:04 |
| thanatos | its for transmission | 07:04 |
| outbackwifi | chrziz-laptop: how did you end up with a proprietary driver? | 07:04 |
| === Guest77998 is now known as tgunner90 | ||
| Cyranix0r | thanatos: pico is a great console text editor | 07:04 |
| Cyranix0r | thanatos: usually /etc/init.d is a directory though | 07:05 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz have a look at this, http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/8585 you can use it if you want. if not you might get an idea from it. | 07:05 |
| debCarlos | lliw00: what's your dvd problem? | 07:05 |
| outbackwifi | thanatos: you should add it to /etc/rc.local | 07:05 |
| thanatos | Cyranix0r, outbackwifi http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Headless%20Transmisison | 07:05 |
| otaku42 | question: is there a way to remove packages that appear to be broken to dpkg (because files or directories are missing that belong to these packages)? | 07:05 |
| Cyranix0r | thanatos: you prolly wanna add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or the equivalent | 07:05 |
| digitaldoll | hey guys is there such a photoshop for the kde desktop like gimp is for gnome? | 07:05 |
| chrziz-laptop | outbackwifi: I probably tried 4 tutorials before I got the wireless working, probably picked it up there | 07:05 |
| supravat | hi | 07:05 |
| lliw00 | debcarlos, when i load a battlestar galactica disk into the dvd drive it seems to sit there and open totem but return the error cannot read for resource | 07:05 |
| snadge | help.. i accidentally set my screen upside down in the screen resolution applet.. how do i get it back? .. i can see an upside down mouse pointer that moves around, but i cant click anything :( | 07:06 |
| supravat | I hev found a bug in Ubuntu | 07:06 |
| Gnea | digitaldoll: no, there is only gimp. you can run it in kde just fine. | 07:06 |
| jim_p | snadge: killall xrandr | 07:06 |
| snadge | im ircing from console at the moment.. i thought maybe i could xrandr or something :/ | 07:06 |
| Gnea | supravat: so file a report | 07:06 |
| outbackwifi | thanatos: copy that script, paste it into a new file called transmission in /etc/init.d; then run "sudo update-rc.d transmission defaults" to enable automatic starting | 07:06 |
| debCarlos | lliw00: oh... i thought you wanted menus and that sort of things... srry can't help you :) | 07:06 |
| Agent_bob | bustaplz ? | 07:06 |
| digitaldoll | are there any skins or themes for the gimp Gnea | 07:06 |
| otaku42 | hey snadge, long time no see :) | 07:06 |
| tarelerulz | thanatos , I guess even one in the world ,but me knew that. I just wonder why it never come up on my google searches . | 07:06 |
| supravat | after running $sudo su | 07:07 |
| Gnea | digitaldoll: it uses gtk, so whatever skins gtk, yes | 07:07 |
| snadge | jim_p: there is no xrandr process running :( | 07:07 |
| thanatos | Cyranix0r, how do i get "/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start" to work, see http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Headless%20Transmisison | 07:07 |
| debCarlos | so. anyway to increase cheese photos/videos quality ? | 07:07 |
| snadge | hey otaku42 .. madwifi developer yes? :) | 07:07 |
| lliw00 | debcarlos, what do you mean menus, like create them or read them off a disk? | 07:07 |
| supravat | u need to type the superuser password | 07:07 |
| Cyranix0r | thanatos: EASY :). Just cut and paste all that into any old text file, and name the file transmission-daemon, and save it in /etc/init.d | 07:07 |
| digitaldoll | how do i switch everything over to gtk | 07:07 |
| otaku42 | snadge: aye | 07:07 |
| digitaldoll | how do i switch everything over to gtk @ Gnea | 07:07 |
| thanatos | outbackwifi, sorry, lost track of scrolling thanks | 07:07 |
| Cyranix0r | thanatos: then chmod 0700 /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon | 07:07 |
| Gnea | supravat: no | 07:07 |
| After_Math | How can you make it that when you use Tor and Privozy that when you go to google you go to google.com and not google.de? | 07:07 |
| thanatos | Cyranix0r, thanks | 07:07 |
| Cyranix0r | thanatos: np | 07:07 |
| Gnea | supravat: sudo su shouldn't be used anyway, sudo -i is safer | 07:08 |
| supravat | but next time when u type the same command it does not prompt for password | 07:08 |
| debCarlos | lliw00: read them | 07:08 |
| Gnea | right, it's cached for a small amount of time | 07:08 |
| outbackwifi | supravat: thats for a certain duration, | 07:08 |
| Gnea | it's a feature, not a bug | 07:08 |
| lliw00 | debcarlos, hmmmmm | 07:08 |
| supravat | which is too dangerous | 07:08 |
| Gnea | not always | 07:08 |
| bender1337 | hi ubuntu freezes at random for me anyone know why? | 07:08 |
| Gnea | you can always lock the screen :) | 07:09 |
| debCarlos | lliw00: i mean, nearly every dvd have a menu where you can add subtitles, change audio and that things. | 07:09 |
| outbackwifi | supravat: i always close the terminal after a sudo session so that i doesnt remember | 07:09 |
| supravat | hmm | 07:09 |
| outbackwifi | supravat: "it" | 07:09 |
| tophyr | lllll | 07:09 |

| outbackwifi | error404notfound: can you pastebin the output of sudo route -n before you have to add the route? | 07:11 |
| error404notfound | Gnea: nope... | 07:12 |
| outbackwifi | serene: cd /to/the/directory/that/contains/the/deb/or/rpm/file and then run the command | 07:12 |
| error404notfound | outbackwifi: restarting system... | 07:12 |
| outbackwifi | error404notfound: ok | 07:13 |
| outbackwifi | serene: if you are new to ubuntu, the last thing you should try is to install rpms using alien | 07:13 |
| outbackwifi | !alien | serene | 07:13 |
| ubottu | serene: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:13 |
| serene | basically i am running a .sfx which has this script.....when the command is run i.e sudo name_of _sfx i am getting this error | 07:14 |

| kuthux | d-b: yup* | 07:14 |
| d-b | um.... probably not. | 07:14 |
| outbackwifi | kuthux: if its an iso, you can mount it at the loop device and then do whatever you want to do with the contents | 07:15 |
| chrziz-laptop | outbackwifi: i remember now that I did install the proprietary drivers with ndiswrapper to no avail, could they be conflicting with madwifi | 07:15 |
| outbackwifi | chrziz-laptop: yes, just remove/blacklist them | 07:15 |
| devslashnull | can anyone help me out | 07:15 |
| kuthux | outbackwifi: ok then should i make .iso file first from the cd, then do it ? | 07:15 |
| outbackwifi | kuthux: i guess so | 07:15 |
| chrziz-laptop | outbackwifi: ok, will do, thanks | 07:16 |
| * outbackwifi is no expert on windows and just hopes that the windows installer becomes horribly corrupt forcing kuthux to install ubuntu | 07:16 | |
| serene | pls can anyone help me | 07:16 |
| kuthux | outbackwifi: but i think mount -o loop will do read only | 07:16 |

| Gnea | serene: what? | 07:18 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, the laptop is an eeepc | 07:18 |
| wartalker | devslashnull: iwconfig | 07:18 |
| kuthux | outbackwifi: but i think mount -o loop will do read only. cmiiw | 07:18 |
| error404notfound | outbackwifi: that's Xen's interface... | 07:19 |
| devslashnull | wartalker, no wireless exctensions | 07:19 |
| serene | i am giving the command sudo dpkg -i test_1.0.0-1_i386.deb | 07:19 |
| Gnea | serene: no, you said you were doing: sudo dpkg -i --instdir=/tmp/test test_1.0.0-1_i386.deb | 07:19 |
| outbackwifi | error404notfound: how can you have the same ip on both interfaces? you need to relook at the config. | 07:19 |
| Gnea | serene: it should be: sudo --instdir=/tmp/test -i test_1.0.0-1_i386.deb | 07:20 |
| digitaldoll | I installed "recordmydesktop" and ran it but how come I can't find my avi | 07:20 |
| Gnea | serene: you can't install an argument :) | 07:20 |
| error404notfound | outbackwifi: forget about peth0 if you don't know about xen... | 07:20 |
| serene | --instdir=/tmp/test wil install it in /tmp/test | 07:20 |
| Gnea | serene: you have to give them in the proper order | 07:20 |
| outbackwifi | error404notfound: forget about getting your packets to go out of eth0 with that configuration | 07:20 |
| Karn | AnyBody | 07:20 |
| serene | butok fine | 07:20 |
| devslashnull | wartalker, any idea why | 07:20 |
| outbackwifi | error404notfound: also pastebin route -n after that route addition, you will see the difference | 07:21 |
| Gnea | serene: it's akin to cracking an egg open and frying the shell instead of the yolk :) | 07:21 |
| outbackwifi | error404notfound: the best way is to bridge the interfaces if you want to do that | 07:21 |
| error404notfound | outbackwifi: when I try to add now, I get: SIOCADDRT: File exists | 07:21 |
| serene | Gnea : i didn't get u | 07:21 |

| devslashnull | outbackwifi, what version of kernel is that | 07:36 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: if you want to solve your problem doe as i say for the simple reason that it works. that kernel is specially made for the eeepc | 07:36 |
| wartalker | devslashnull: "WARNING: You are running a kernel >= 2.6.23, you should enable in it CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE for 802.11[ne] support" | 07:36 |

| jim_p | devslashnull: do you know which module it uses? i lost the conversation sorry :( | 07:45 |

| devslashnull | no it isnt | 07:46 |
| Gnea | * | 07:46 |
| Gnea | Currently, you cannot use the Fn+F2 key combination to turn on/off your wireless. To turn on your wireless open a terminal and type | 07:46 |

| UnixUnderFire | vwracer69, Ever see the line of a hundred subarus cruzing around the freeways? | 07:57 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: if you know about unix permissions, yes | 07:57 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: with the 'chmod' command | 07:57 |
| vwracer69 | no have not seen that | 07:57 |
| newlife | prince_jammys: Can I do this in ubuntu as well? | 07:58 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: well, also with the GUI, actually | 07:58 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: yes | 07:58 |
| prince_jammys | what permissions do you want to set? | 07:58 |
| newlife | prince_jammys: ok - got me going in right direction - will do some google info on how to use command or do a "man chmod" at command line - Thanks much | 07:59 |
| drgonzo00000 | After I installed the mad wifi drivers for my Atheros AR5007EG in the new 2.6.24-21-generic kernel, I can't boot into the new kernel because I get a kernel panic when loading my wireless drivers. How can I fix this problem? | 07:59 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: the command is easy. it's understanding the permissions that can be tricky, if you're not familiar | 07:59 |

| Gnea | devslashnull: any module has links to the kernel, so yes | 08:00 |

| Oprtz | what is the command to EDIT samba smb,conf file ? | 08:01 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: yes | 08:01 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: gnome (nautilus, the file manager) can do it. you probably don't have to install anything | 08:01 |
| devslashnull | is ubuntu for eeepc supposed to have a taskbar at the bottom | 08:01 |

| Gnea | drgonzo00000: is it giving any information on why it's panicing? | 08:01 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: when you right click on a file, i think. (i don't have gnome) | 08:01 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: dunno, mine is a stock ubuntu distro with only the kernel different | 08:01 |
| newlife | prince_jammys: Just right click on file and set permission? | 08:02 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: yes, and be careful | 08:02 |
| devslashnull | do you hok | 08:02 |
| Oprtz | outbackwifi: swat ? | 08:02 |

| prince_jammys | bullgard4: depending on whether you want other users to be able to run it | 08:07 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, ok i upgraded the kernel and its working again | 08:07 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: great work! | 08:07 |
| devslashnull | wait let me be sure | 08:07 |
| devslashnull | 1 sec | 08:07 |
| devslashnull | yep | 08:07 |

| Gnea | vwracer69: no big deal, just want to make sure you're not barking up the wrong tree :) | 08:08 |
| Flannel | strumic1: directories need to be +x in order for you to access them. What are you trying to give everyone access to? | 08:08 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: exactly what permissions do you want to set? | 08:08 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel, prince_jammys: Thank you. | 08:08 |
| devslashnull | uh oh ive got another problem | 08:08 |
| strumic1 | Flannel: /var/www/ | 08:08 |
| devslashnull | its reporting that my device is 100% full | 08:08 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: remove the apt archives to reclaim some space (you have only 4G remember?) | 08:09 |
| devslashnull | yes | 08:09 |
| devslashnull | so do i remove the entire /etc/apt folder ? | 08:09 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: also, if you are sure everything is working fine with this kernel, just remove the older ones | 08:09 |
| prince_jammys | no! | 08:09 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: dont delete it by hand, use the command | 08:09 |
| Gnea | devslashnull: sudo apt-get clean | 08:10 |
| prince_jammys | devslashnull: use apt-get clean | 08:10 |
| outbackwifi | Gnea: tx | 08:10 |
| outbackwifi | :) | 08:10 |
| Gnea | :) | 08:10 |
| newlife | prince_jammys: I do not want someone to be able to open a .odt file without using a password or if it was even totally hidden as well would work - I know there are ways to do this relatively easy in windows. | 08:10 |
| outbackwifi | newlife: you can password protect the odt file from openoffice, you shouldnt be required to mess with the filesystem | 08:10 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: changing the permissions will affect what users can open the file. passwords don't come into play | 08:11 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, after sudo apt-get clean i am at 91%. anything else i can clean since ive got so little space | 08:11 |
| prince_jammys | if you want password protection, don't mess with the permissions | 08:11 |
| romeo | hi guys | 08:11 |
| newlife | outbackwifi: Thanks will give that a try on a test file 1st. | 08:11 |
| strumic1 | how to make chmod permission so everyone can access the folder, i did chmod -R 644 to a directory now i can not access it | 08:12 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: the old kernel, modules and headers also gives back a lot ofspace | 08:12 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: i also cleaned out my /usr/share/doc | 08:12 |
| prince_jammys | :( | 08:12 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, i removed the older kernel and headers | 08:12 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: in fact i moved the apt archives to a 4G SDHC card | 08:12 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: modules too? look in /lib/modules | 08:13 |
| ogzy | hi, i dont see the orange progress bar at usplash during shutdown, did someone have the same problem before? | 08:13 |
| romeo | i wanted to know if anyone knows if there is a easyer way to change from ubuntu normal to ubuntu studio am runing 8.10 beta right now | 08:13 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, did u erase everything in /usr/share/doc ? | 08:13 |
| prince_jammys | strumic1: 6 is no good. you the executable bit set if you want to be able to open the dir. CAREFUL with -R | 08:13 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: and moved my thunderbird mail box to an external USB 120G drive | 08:13 |
| newlife | prince_jammys: What outbackwifi suggested will be best for now - will try that - thanks for your help - Also when I have time I'am not afraid to learn more about using the Terminal - Thanks again. | 08:13 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: yes i did | 08:13 |

| devslashnull | how do i move the apt archives | 08:15 |
| romeo | ok thank you | 08:15 |
| devslashnull | do i just move it and create a symbolic link ? | 08:15 |
| prince_jammys | newlife: careful with permissions. depending on where you're changing them, they can be a fast way to break things | 08:15 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: sudo apt-get clean | 08:15 |
| devslashnull | i did that already | 08:16 |
| devslashnull | but you said you moved the archives to the shdc card | 08:16 |
| blanktheserver | Hey, I'm wondering if there is a way to manually set the driver to use ( for onboard wifi ) The one which comes with ubuntu is bugged for my intel n card, and it needs the iwl4965. | 08:16 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: oh ok, i just moved the directory to the card and then setup a symbolic link from /var/cache/apt/archives to the SD car | 08:17 |
| outbackwifi | card | 08:17 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, and have you overclocked yours to 900mhz? | 08:18 |
| blanktheserver | I'm not sure if the driver is simply not installed, or it's using the wrong one. | 08:18 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: did that once but brought it back now | 08:18 |
| devslashnull | back to 630 ? | 08:18 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: yes | 08:19 |
| devslashnull | why ? | 08:19 |
| === kman is now known as kmansix | ||
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: read somewhere that 900MHz doesnt really work on the 701 and didnt want to mess with the CPU. Just upgraded to a 1000H instead ;) | 08:20 |
| devslashnull | how much was that ? | 08:21 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: uhh about $700 (with a 2G RAM, 160 G HDD and a 6600 mAH battery) | 08:22 |
| devslashnull | wow | 08:22 |
| devslashnull | the one thing that frustrates me is that the kb is so frickin small | 08:22 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: get about 5 hrs of battery | 08:22 |
| devslashnull | and the 701 ? | 08:22 |
| devslashnull | battery wise | 08:22 |
| prince_jammys | why did you remove /usr/share/doc, out of curiosity? | 08:22 |
| outbackwifi | prince_jammys: to save on disk space, you see the 701 has only a 4G SSD | 08:23 |
| go_beep_yourself | waste of space | 08:23 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: was happy if i got 2.5 hrs on wifi | 08:23 |
| newlife | outbackwifi: Thanks for tip on .odt file - did a test file and worked great - all smiles now :o) | 08:23 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, wow thats little... | 08:23 |
| outbackwifi | newlife: yw | 08:23 |
| prince_jammys | why not get another hard drive..or another distro? | 08:24 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: the 901 and 1000H now have the atom processor that consumes 2.5w of power | 08:24 |
| prince_jammys | i have a ton of documentation installed, including man-pages-dev, and several e-books. the entire /usr/share/doc takes up 542 MB here. | 08:24 |
| devslashnull | the thing is, 700 is kind of a lot. i only bought this eeepc cause it was really cheap | 08:24 |
| newlife | outbackwifi: another tip for the ol' "Bin O Tips" page....... | 08:24 |
| outbackwifi | newlife: sure | 08:25 |
| === AliTarihi is now known as AliTarihi_ | ||
| outbackwifi | prince_jammys: i guess you havent seen the eeepc 701, it has a solid state drive soldered to the mobo | 08:25 |
| devslashnull | same as macbook air | 08:25 |
| prince_jammys | no, i definitely haven't | 08:26 |
| outbackwifi | devslashnull: i read somewhere that the price has now dropped to around 400 (not sure) | 08:26 |
| blanktheserver | It seems stupid to have a larger eepc. | 08:26 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, still out of my price range | 08:26 |
| devslashnull | i paid 150 for this one | 08:26 |
| * outbackwifi not really if its your main pc now :) | 08:26 | |

| devslashnull | you didnt notice a difference | 08:33 |
| devslashnull | ? | 08:33 |
| gradin | its trying to authenticating against the access point but times out before the authentication packet is recieved | 08:33 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: path shouldn't include anything for ~/.bin, that would make very little sense. You should only have ~/bin included if it exists when the shell was created. There's a conditional in your bashrc (for security reasons) | 08:34 |

| pantherad | ohhhhhhh... i seee... | 08:41 |
| tophyr | pantherad: there is a distinction in linux between a normal user and a "super user" | 08:41 |
| pantherad | thanks | 08:41 |
| tophyr | most system-configuration commands require "super user" privileges | 08:41 |
| pJupiter | for when a command complains about your priviledges and you don't feel like retyping | 08:41 |
| tophyr | this is so that normal usage can't screw up your system too bad | 08:41 |
| pantherad | yeah, that i know, tophry... just didn't understand why i wasn't already the super user | 08:41 |
| tophyr | ah ok :) | 08:41 |
| blanktheserver | Hey, I'm wondering if there is a way to manually set the driver to use ( for onboard wifi ) The one which comes with ubuntu is bugged for my intel n card, and it needs the iwl4965. I'm not sure if the driver is not installed or it's loading the wrong one. | 08:41 |
| devslashnull | outbackwifi, ill give it one shot. if it doesnt work i wont continue... | 08:42 |

| tophyr | if it's not working | 08:45 |

| prince_jammys | pantherad: welcome. | 08:49 |
| Waistless | doesn't look very nice :( . I tried dpkg-reconfigure usplash but It didn't work. any ideas? | 08:50 |
| === AliTarihi_ is now known as AliTarihi | ||
| prince_jammys | !usplash | Waistless : maybe useful | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Waistless : maybe useful: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 08:50 |
| Waistless | thanks :) | 08:51 |
| prince_jammys | maybe not. i haven't messed with usplash in a long time | 08:51 |
| Waistless | well it just stopped working by itself :( | 08:51 |
| Computech | Will something bad happen if i add a password to the root? | 08:52 |
| tophyr | Computech: something bad will happen if you *don't* | 08:52 |
| tophyr | just don't forget root's password | 08:52 |
| tophyr | and don't tell anybody else | 08:52 |
| Computech | but why there is normally no one in ubuntu then? | 08:52 |
| tophyr | not really sure. | 08:52 |
| prince_jammys | because it's not necessary, and considered more secure | 08:52 |
| tophyr | prince_jammys: 0_o | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | though some argue with that. but that is the ubuntu way | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | !noroot | 08:53 |
| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | wrong | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | wrong one | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | !root | 08:53 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 08:53 |
| tophyr | in linux, is it impossible to log in as root if root has no password? | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | Computech: that article mentions it | 08:53 |
| blanktheserver | login as your user tophyr, then sudo su | 08:53 |
| Waistless | sometimes sudo doesn't work right, in that case I su - anyway :P | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | tophyr: in a default ubuntu, yes | 08:53 |
| Computech | but i need a root password to login to vmware | 08:54 |
| tophyr | aha | 08:54 |
| prince_jammys | tophyr: you have to expressly set a root password in ubuntu if you want that behavior | 08:54 |
| tophyr | prince_jammys: which behavior? | 08:55 |
| prince_jammys | the ability to log in as root | 08:55 |
| tophyr | ah ok | 08:55 |
| tophyr | will Waistless's "sudo su -" work if root has no pwd? | 08:55 |
| Jan500 | hi.. what could be the reason that dmraid only shows 1 raid-device when i promt dmraid -r ? | 08:55 |
| tophyr | or alternatively "sudo bash"? | 08:55 |
| prince_jammys | sudo -i | 08:55 |
| Jan500 | my fakeraid controller shows both hdd | 08:56 |
| blanktheserver | No you just need "sudo su" tophyr. | 08:56 |
| tophyr | kk | 08:56 |
| tophyr | yeah, i'm not sure why no root pwd would be less secure than having one | 08:56 |
| prince_jammys | it's talked about in the link above | 08:57 |
| tophyr | will have to read it | 08:57 |
| === natacha is now known as Natoux | ||
| prince_jammys | one idea is that in multiuser systems, you can trace who did what as superuser, with sudo | 08:58 |
| tophyr | ah, makes sense | 08:58 |
| tophyr | i was thinking in an intrusion situation | 08:58 |
| === mtozses_ is now known as Kartagis | ||
| prince_jammys | if a sudo user (a sudoer)'s password is compromised, you're in trouble .. though supposedly in less trouble than if you had a root account and that password was stolen | 09:00 |
| jin | is there any advantage of rme to install the Ubuntu 64bit version? my cpu is a C2D. here is what I do on my computer: video encoding, php programming, run virtual machines with virtual machine for testing, and ofcourse, the usual stuff like watching movie, youtube, chatting, etc. | 09:01 |
| jin | for me* | 09:01 |
| tophyr | is 'Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument' a normal, possibly-expected-if-i-don't-do-it right or does it signify something i can't fix w/o diff hardware or drivers? | 09:02 |
| tophyr | prince_jammys: yeah, the stolen-password sitch was what i was thinking of | 09:02 |
| tophyr | although being able to track which sudoer would be some help at least | 09:02 |
| Flannel | tophyr, prince_jammys: also, you don't need to give people who can sudo permission to do *everything*, you can give them elevated privledges in X and Y, but not Z, etc. | 09:03 |
| tophyr | Flannel: neat | 09:03 |

| ionte | hi! i upgraded some days ago to intrepid, and now as soon as i start x i just get a black screen. i've tried to run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but that did not help. i have an ATI HD3850 (?) card and i have uninstalled all fglrx pacakges. | 09:33 |
| pw-toxic | well emacs tells me to hold the meta key and the v key to go one page backwards, but the ubuntu console uses ALT + v for the console menu - what can i do? | 09:33 |

| bustaplz | IcyPolecat how do I set it that way? | 09:36 |
| bustaplz | it needs to be run with sudo for sure | 09:36 |
| ionte | jim_p: is there a way to do that without editing xorg.conf? funny thing is that my xorg.conf is really minimal after running dpkg-reconfigure.. and i've lost my xf86config-editing skills of years past .. :) | 09:37 |
| IcyPolecat | bustaplz: firstly make SURE you need to run this as root | 09:37 |

| kuthux | thx soundray i'll try | 09:45 |
| outbackwifi | jonathan_: ask in #kubuntu | 09:45 |

| blankthemuffin_ | I'll give that a go outbackwifi. | 09:48 |
| outbackwifi | blankthemuffin_: for eg you will see somthing like this --> libusual 18340 1 usb_storage . This means that usb_storage is being used by libusasl | 09:48 |
| soundray | bonk: make sure you haven't got a competing flash plugin, like gnash | 09:48 |
| kbrosnan | bonk: you can try flash 10, but you'ed need to install it manually | 09:48 |
| PillowSoft | ya one of the packages is bad | 09:48 |
| SlimeyPete | bullgard4: .bashrc, either in ~ or /etc | 09:48 |
| torgrim | bonk: on my computer the flash pages crash if i use flashblocker addon | 09:48 |
| SlimeyPete | $PATH is set via an 'export' command | 09:49 |
| soundray | bullgard4: there are various places where this can be set: /etc/environment, /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc | 09:49 |
| PillowSoft | bonk what packages did you install for flash? | 09:49 |
| outbackwifi | bullgard4: you can set the path system wide in /etc/profile | 09:49 |
| soundray | outbackwifi: then it will apply only to shells (bullgard4) | 09:49 |

| bonk | iirc yep | 09:51 |
| kitcat | any assistance would be great | 09:51 |
| soundray | kitcat: use gimp to do it interactively, or mogrify from the imagemagick package for batch processing. | 09:51 |
| outbackwifi | kitcat: you dont seem to be reading responses. Someone else also suggested gimp and yet you asked the same question again. Please try it out with gimp and then tell us if it doesnt work | 09:52 |

| soundray | malcolm_: normally, you want to avoid installing software in this way. Use an Ubuntu package instead and install it with synaptic or apt-get. What are you installing? | 09:54 |
| PillowSoft | You normally use ./ when installing however you can just use the package installer that comes with Ubuntu under systems | 09:54 |
| wartalke1 | soundray: i want to install aircrack, the kernel should update to 2.6.26 | 09:54 |
| PillowSoft | Bonk: i think it was that one that was bugged | 09:55 |
| bonk | alright, so it's ok to remove? | 09:55 |
| PillowSoft | ya | 09:55 |
| PillowSoft | I should boot Ubuntu while i give advice so i can figure out the names of stuff. | 09:56 |
| soundray | bonk: no, you shouldn't remove flashplugin-nonfree | 09:57 |
| bonk | ok | 09:57 |
| stian | apo | 09:58 |
| PillowSoft | Sorry bonk guess i dont know what im talking about :P | 09:58 |
| soundray | bonk: check whether you have gnash installed, and if so, remove that. Then restart firefox and see if it is still crashing. | 09:58 |

| shredder12 | divinesoul: well upgrading the kernel gave plenty of problems too.. my wired network interface just disappeared..so i think its better for you to switch back to the older version..where you are not gonna have any problem.. | 10:08 |

| Er-Gladiatore | supradin | 10:08 |
| kuthux | soundray why? | 10:08 |
| bytecode | IcyPolecat: edit /etc/resolv.conf to specify dns | 10:09 |
| kuthux | soundray live cd & alternate act differently when u boot it | 10:09 |
| shredder12 | divinesoul: when the grub screen loads at he time of power on..press Esc there you will find several options showing different kernel versions of ubuntu.. | 10:09 |
| soundray | kuthux: I haven't asked for help | 10:09 |
| shredder12 | divinesoul: as far a i know the new version is 2.6.24-21 and the older one is 2.6.24-19 which will be third from the top in the menu list.. | 10:09 |

| divinesoul | i willl log back in shortly shredder | 10:10 |
| shredder12 | ok.. | 10:10 |
| soundray | blanktheserver: I see what you mean. You cannot boot a system via the grub command line from inside the CD, though. I think that's what the original poster was looking for. | 10:11 |
| bytecode | IcyPolecat: does NM lose the settings if you specify them in the NM DNS tab also? | 10:11 |
| blanktheserver | soundray, ah ok. I just figured he was probably trying to repair a grub install. | 10:11 |
| IcyPolecat | yup | 10:11 |
| IcyPolecat | probably broken DHCP but not under my control - have dnsmasq installed and configured so all I need is to force 127.0.0.1 in the resolv.conf and have it stay there! | 10:12 |

| IcyPolecat | bytecode: ok thanks anyway - I assume there is a hook somewhere that needs to be disabled but jiggered if I can find it :-) | 10:15 |
| kuthux | soundray there is an option to boot from harddisk when we boot from cd, so we can boot existing system. am i right? cmiiw | 10:15 |
| zbyszek | hi, can you tell me what is wrong with live usb installation? it seems like everything is ok, but when i see splash screen, it keeps resetting just after a few seconds... | 10:16 |
| doggymenz | firefoxub, in Firefox there is a Help menu, if you click there and select "About Mozilla Firefox" it tells you | 10:16 |
| bullgard4 | s/bashrc/.bahrc | 10:16 |
| blanktheserver | kuthux, yes, that will attempt your normal boot process, as if the cd were not there. | 10:16 |
| shredder12 | bullgard4: just execute " source .bashrc " and your job will be done.. | 10:16 |
| bytecode | IcyPolecat: sorry I couldn't be of more help. wonder if you could manually edit /etc/resolv.conf, then set it to read only so that NM can't write to it | 10:16 |
| soundray | kuthux: yes, but only if the hard disk has a working boot loader | 10:16 |

| thiebaude | firefoxub:seems like you got the lastest one | 10:17 |
| kuthux | soundray / blanktheserver, will it reboot? | 10:18 |
| firefoxub | yes why i get warning to upgrade when i log into my hotmail i can not write emails | 10:18 |
| doggymenz | firefoxub, you have 3.0.3 which is the latest version, there are no newer version. i think you should ignore the message on hotmail | 10:18 |
| bytecode | IcyPolecat: you could just set up a cronjob to overwrite the NM version with your own if the file is different? it's a little "dirty" but would work. | 10:18 |
| blanktheserver | kuthux, as I said, it will do what would happen as if the cd were not there. | 10:18 |
| thiebaude | firefoxub:will you pastebin that | 10:18 |
| thiebaude | !pastebin | 10:18 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 10:18 |
| IcyPolecat | bytecode: problem is I need the DNS there at boot time as Postfix starts just after and mucks up if it can't resolve. | 10:19 |
| doggymenz | also, i recommend gmail (www.gmail.com) which is like hotmail but better, its done by google | 10:19 |
| IcyPolecat | bytecode: might be possible to force Postfix to use set DNS servers but don't really want to break the whole resolv.conf setup | 10:19 |
| thiebaude | doggymenz:yea, i use gmail, its great | 10:19 |
| outbackwifi | IcyPolecat: do you have avahi running? you could tweak that | 10:19 |
| blanktheserver | thiebaude, you're asking him to pastebin a single line??? If so you're missing the point somewhat. | 10:19 |

| newfive | i want to create shortcuts for the zoom | 10:20 |
| thiebaude | blanktheserver:i dont know how the error message looks | 10:20 |
| bytecode | IcyPolecat: if it's at boot then that would be prior to NM starting? so it should be in place from the overwrite that would have happened prior to shutdown. | 10:20 |

| legend2440 | doggymenz: to get gmail account do you have to be invited by a member? | 10:20 |
| bonk | soundray: futuresplash isn't in synaptic nor can it be found in apt-get remove, I did "locate libflash" and maybe it's part of Opera "/usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so" how do I remove this one do you know? | 10:21 |
| bytecode | IcyPolecat: still, it is a little dirty - I'd prefer a better solution such as disabling NM's dns overwrite in the first place. | 10:21 |
| doggymenz | legend2440, not anymore, its open for all now | 10:21 |
| IcyPolecat | bytecode: possibly it may be the case that the old config is still there but the scripts that run to update NM config also restart Postfix - thus breaking heem | 10:21 |
| legend2440 | doggymenz: ok thanks | 10:21 |
| divinesoul | Blaise, even i do have the same problem cant find a solution | 10:21 |

| blanktheserver | Hey, I'm wondering if there is a way to manually set the driver to use ( for onboard wifi ) The one which comes with ubuntu is bugged for my intel n card, and it needs the iwl4965. On previous versions I simply installed these drivers: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download I've loaded the drivers, but it seems that they don't work in intrepid anyway, wifi device is detected, but it doesn't detect any wireless networks. | 10:23 |

| blanktheserver | Nope soundray, I just want some drivers which work. :P | 10:25 |
| outbackwifi | pw-toxic: ctl+insert for copy and shift+insert for paste | 10:25 |
| blanktheserver | newfive, search for compiz config. Make sure you update your sources first. If that fails you might not have whatever repository the manager resides in enabled ( probably universe ) | 10:25 |

| Guest56609 | hello, I have a USB 2.0 stick 4GBs f and it gets detected in Win XP Pro SP2 but it doesn't get detected on Ubuntu 8.04 nor in 7.10 for some reason. I added the 'mount | 11:11 |
| aaron_ | this is very frustrating...I wan to use openoffice3............someone please help...... http://paste.ubuntu.com/58749/ | 11:11 |
| Guest56609 | applet | 11:11 |
| IcyPolecat | redheat_: don't see why not | 11:11 |
| Guest56609 | but it doesn't appear | 11:11 |
| Guest56609 | please help me! | 11:11 |
| Guest56609 | what can I do for it to get detected and I could mount it??? | 11:12 |
| === Guest56609 is now known as Slade_ | ||
| redheat_ | ok I just typed iwevent and it's telling "waiting for wireless events from all interfaces" | 11:12 |
| === Slade_ is now known as Slade13 | ||
| redheat_ | and nothing after that | 11:12 |
| rogan | did you install a driver for your adapter | 11:13 |
| kuthux | redheat_: let it be like that, now try to re-connect | 11:13 |
| kuthux | redheat_: the event then will be shown | 11:13 |
| xn1 | soundray: Ok, you were wrong. It changed pretty much the entire Desktop. | 11:13 |
| redheat_ | nope, it is one of those generic x72 something drivers that come preinstalled with ubuntu | 11:13 |
| Slade13 | anyone?? | 11:14 |
| soundray | xn1: I wasn't wrong. You didn't configure it the way it should be configured to work with gnome. | 11:14 |
| redheat_ | rogan, icyPoleCat, Kuthux..I'll have to go offline to reenable security to hang on guys | 11:14 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: what do you get if you run dmesg in a console session after plugging the device in | 11:14 |
| recon69 | aaron_: I take it you have checked it there is a required version for java from openoffice 3 | 11:14 |
| aaron_ | no I have not....how do I proceed? that does give me a clue | 11:15 |
| xn1 | soundray: That's not the way you presented it, and that's what I was disagreeing with. Anyway, enough time wasted. Lets move on. | 11:15 |
| soundray | xn1: the problem is now that you set out not to solve your issue, but to prove me wrong. That is a waste of my time, so I'll stop responding to you now. There are plenty of people here who are more deserving. | 11:15 |
| aaron_ | how do I check my java version | 11:15 |
| Slade13 | IcyPolecat, I'll pastebin it | 11:16 |
| kuthux | aaron_: java -version | 11:16 |
| recon69 | aaron_: first read the install docs for openoffice with regard to requirements | 11:16 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: thx | 11:16 |
| Slade13 | IcyPolecat, http://pastebin.ca/1229242 | 11:16 |

| farciarz84 | ubuntu | 11:18 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: ah ... probably an issue with the hi speed usb module can you try unplugging device and running the following: sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd | 11:19 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: then plug it in again and see what happens | 11:19 |
| rogan | just take off the effects? | 11:19 |

| _moro_bana_ | hello, new restore installation of windows never goes to the final stage, with UBUNTU-it installs but fails to boot.with my older installs , only ubuntu is working while windows doesnt boot. i took the hdd to the other computer and it worked well.could this be a hardware problem? | 11:22 |

| ubottu | IcyPolecat: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 11:22 |
| tyberion | hey guys, how can I find out which unix version is running ? | 11:23 |
| mick02 | IctPolecat I'm in work and the firewall is blocking ALL ports except 80 443 and 8080. I have a Ubuntu server at home that I wanted to tunnel all Google chat traffic from Pidgin through the tunnel to my home server | 11:23 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: good. Now you'll need to add that module to the blacklist to prevent it being loaded at boot time (or you can just run that command everytime) | 11:23 |
| fenerli7 | does anyone know why a mouse would only half work in linux? I've tried with a touchpad and 2 mice and the result is the same: I can move the mouse and the cursor moves as it should but *sometimes*, events such as mouse-over or click or anything besides mouse-move do not register... it is is not lag as I can do the actions with the keyboard fine | 11:23 |
| fenerli7 | I'm asking here as it's happened twice in ubuntu and has never happened in arch linux | 11:23 |
| mick02 | IcyPolecat I'm in work and the firewall is blocking ALL ports except 80 443 and 8080. I have a Ubuntu server at home that I wanted to tunnel all Google chat traffic from Pidgin through the tunnel to my home server | 11:23 |
| redheat | holy excrements , folks, how to create a text file in ubuntu..? | 11:23 |
| magnetron | tyberion→ you mean which ubuntu version is running? lsb_release -a | 11:24 |
| rogan | right click > create new | 11:24 |
| fenerli7 | redheat: in file manager, right click and click create document, or open text editor in accessories | 11:24 |
| soundray | fenerli7: if you still have Arch, it might be worth checking whether it uses a different mouse driver | 11:24 |
| IcyPolecat | mick02: ok - you can use ssh -D 8080 user@server to setup a socks 5 tunnel and config your client to use that. Or you can tunnel ports direct - which do you need to do? | 11:24 |
| farciarz84 | soundray: only graphics no code, sth like adobe inDesign and Illustrator | 11:24 |
| redheat | I created a document under ubuntu but it's not working under vista | 11:24 |
| fenerli7 | soundray: how would I check? xorg.conf? | 11:24 |
| tyberion | magnetron: i dont know what distribituion, how can i find that out | 11:24 |
| redheat | yeah but it's all garbled under notepad.. | 11:24 |
| Slade13 | IcyPolecat, i dont know how to add module to the black list.. i noob :S | 11:24 |
| IcyPolecat | redheat: try opening it in wordpad :-) | 11:25 |
| magnetron | tyberion→ same command | 11:25 |
| redheat | ok.. | 11:25 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: I know - just checking it now | 11:25 |
| soundray | fenerli7: don't know about arch, could be xorg.conf, if not, you'll have to check the X logs. | 11:25 |
| redheat | ok thanks icyPoleCat..it's working fine now.. | 11:25 |
| === nutella_ is now known as adac | ||
| mick02 | IcyPolecat I would prefer to tunnel the ports direct | 11:25 |
| redheat | it's called pastebin.com | 11:25 |
| Slade13 | IcyPolecat, ok | 11:25 |
| redheat | or is it ? | 11:25 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: ok from a terminal edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 11:25 |

| rogan | oops | 11:25 |
| fenerli7 | soundray: yes, I still have arch, and the mouse config in xorg.conf is the same in both arch's and ubuntu's | 11:26 |

| magnetron | redheat→ once is enough | 11:26 |
| redheat | thank you folks.. | 11:26 |
| redheat | I'm posting it right now | 11:26 |
| IcyPolecat | slade13 should do you. Of course I'd take a backup FIRST | 11:26 |
| soundray | fenerli7: same Driver line in Section "InputDevice"? | 11:26 |
| mick02 | Gooch I'm trying to do something similar myself | 11:26 |

| _moro_bana_ | hello, new restore installation of windows never goes to the final stage, with UBUNTU-it installs but fails to boot.with my older installs , only ubuntu is working while windows doesnt boot. i took the hdd to the other computer and it worked well.could this be a hardware problem? | 11:27 |
| Buttercup | How do I update to Ubuntu 8.10 without update-manager? My gdm doesn't work anymore, so I wanted to upload to Ubuntu 8.10 | 11:27 |
| tyberion | hmm,magnetron that only works in ubuntu right, because in the workstation im running simultaneously, theres not such a command | 11:27 |
| soundray | Venin: have you got effects on or off? | 11:27 |
| fenerli7 | soundray: yes, both have synaptics driver for touchpad and mouse driver for the USB mouse | 11:27 |
| redheat | kuthux, rogan, magnetron, icyPoleCat, I pasted it once, like you said magnetron | 11:27 |
| Venin | soundray: default install | 11:27 |
| magnetron | tyberion→ it works in any modern linux distribution | 11:27 |
| tyberion | magnetron: it aint modern then :D | 11:27 |
| IcyPolecat | mick02: ok so you'll need to run ssh -L 1234:localhost:5678 username@host where the first port it the local port and the second is the terminting port | 11:27 |
| magnetron | tyberion→ or it ain't linux | 11:27 |
| tyberion | magnetron: any ohter way to find out | 11:27 |
| tyberion | hmm, may be... | 11:28 |
| rogan | link it red? | 11:28 |
| soundray | Venin: still could be either. Look up System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects | 11:28 |
| IcyPolecat | mick02: you can then point your client at 127.0.0.1 | 11:28 |
| kuthux | redheat: where? | 11:28 |
| redheat | by the way folks, I just posted it | 11:28 |
| rogan | link us to it | 11:28 |
| redheat | under the name redheat | 11:28 |
| redheat | oh ok sorry | 11:28 |
| redheat | http://paste.ubuntu.com/58753/ | 11:28 |
| magnetron | tyberion→ try uname -a | 11:28 |
| Slade13 | IcyPolecat, either i cant do that... im sorry but thanks for the help.. | 11:29 |
| mick02 | IcyPolecat When you say local port are you talking about the port that the software uses ie 5222 for Pidgin or are you talking about one of the ports that is open on the firewall? | 11:29 |
| redheat | by the way folks, the scane for wireless devices is still going on..it hasn't stopped since I typed iwevent | 11:29 |
| tyberion | uname -a gives: Linux client 2.6.20 #30 Fri Aug 8 time CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 11:29 |
| Venin | soundray: was off.. now set to normal | 11:29 |
| tyberion | @magnetron | 11:29 |
| magnetron | tyberion→ are you sure that "lsb_release -d" gives you nothing? please check spelling | 11:30 |
| IcyPolecat | mick02: the tunnel will go out over port 22 by default so you'll need to configure your router to forward port 8080 on your home IP to port 22 on your server then use: | 11:30 |
| jcoves | Hi, I have a problem with JAVA apps and desktop effects. Many windows don't show its contents with desktop effects enabled | 11:30 |
| redheat | so folks, what you make of this whole scan thing | 11:30 |
| IcyPolecat | mick02: ssh -p 8080 -L 1234:localhost:5678 username@host | 11:31 |
| tyberion | lsb_release: command not found | 11:31 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: why not? | 11:31 |
| soundray | Venin: okay, now that you've set your window manager to be compiz, you have to open gconf-editor and find the key /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/contrain_y and untick the box for it. | 11:31 |
| magnetron | tyberion→ ok, as it's not ubuntu it's not really question for this channel. but it's obviously linux. i suggest you poke around in the file system until you find something | 11:32 |
| Slade13 | IcyPolecat, because im noobb.. and i cant do that.. i have a friend and he will help me... sure | 11:32 |
| Buttercup | Did anyone read my question? I have no idea how to ask my questions here, without appearing rude.. | 11:32 |
| Venin | soundray: yeah, ive done that before.. thanks.. what if i use the one without effects? i wanna set it for both options | 11:32 |
| kuthux | redheat: mine looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/58756/ | 11:33 |
| yeager_ | A[A[A[A[A[A[A/SET term_force_colors ON | 11:33 |
| magnetron | yeager_→ haha | 11:33 |
| IcyPolecat | Slade13: ok - the terminal can be a bit scary. In the mean time you can just run that command again should you need to - you only need to do it once when you turn your machine on | 11:34 |
| recon61 | redheat: paste the output of "lspci -C network " and "ifconfig" | 11:34 |
| soundray | Venin: in metacity, you can move past the top by holding Alt and dragging the window. | 11:34 |
| Venin | no | 11:34 |
| Venin | or.. wait | 11:34 |
| IcyPolecat | Buttercup: have you got terminal access? | 11:34 |
| magnetron | Buttercup→ just asking right out is perfectly fine. if anyone knows the answer, they'll answer. you might try asking again after at least 15 minutes | 11:34 |
| legend2440 | Buttercup: any error message when you run update manager? | 11:34 |
| Buttercup | yea I do | 11:35 |
| Gooch` | bugger it | 11:35 |
| Slade13 | IcyPolecat, i understand... its ok | 11:35 |
| _moro_bana_ | Buttercup: sudo apt-get update | 11:35 |
| Venin | soundray: now i get it.. it WAS set to effects.. so thats why it didnt work before | 11:35 |
| Venin | altdrag works fine in metacity.. thanks | 11:35 |
| bazhang | Buttercup, #ubuntu+1 for info on updating to ibex | 11:35 |
| soundray | Venin: yes, you enabled effects when you set it from Off to Normal | 11:35 |
| legend2440 | Buttercup: what is the error message? | 11:36 |
| soundray | Venin: Alt-F7 mousemove also works | 11:36 |
| _moro_bana_ | Buttercup: apt-get upgrade | 11:36 |
| Venin | soundray: yeah.. i meant.. i was sure what the default was.. because i clicked something by accident | 11:36 |
| Venin | hehe | 11:36 |
| bazhang | its an error from the latest hardy update; gdm conks out | 11:36 |
| xmagixx | for some reason i cannot eject my usbkey, by right clicking it, the option isent there anymore ?? i can only choose mount or umount, how do i eject it probely and how do i get the option back into my right click ? | 11:36 |
| bimberi | zzzzz | 11:36 |
| Buttercup | I do not have any error messages, just a black screen and nothing more. Just can use the terminal | 11:37 |
| IcyPolecat | Buttercup: don't know if this will work before Intrepid is formally released but if you "apt-get install update-manager-core" and then run "do-release-upgrade" | 11:37 |
| IcyPolecat | Buttercup: but I really can't recommend a beta as a solution to GDM issues - it's not stable | 11:37 |
| soundray | xmagixx: it's been renamed because most USB memory devices don't physically eject | 11:38 |
| kuthux | xmagixx: where did u have the option "eject" | 11:38 |
| scordy | hi | 11:38 |
| kuthux | i can only eject cdrom lol | 11:38 |
| xmagixx | soundray: i dont understand quitly what you mean ? | 11:38 |
| scordy | yes | 11:38 |
| soundray | xmagixx: once you've umounted, the device is safe to remove. | 11:38 |
| xmagixx | kuthux: well when i right click, the eject option was below mount , just like when i right click my dvd drive | 11:38 |
| soundray | xmagixx: so umount serves the same purpose as the former "eject" option | 11:39 |
| Buttercup | Yea true but I dunno what to do else. No one's able to help without error message of course. I'm going to try your way now | 11:39 |
| Ste1 | Hey | 11:39 |
| xmagixx | soundray: ohh, weird, not that many days ago i had the ability to choose eject for it, must changed with some update then ?? | 11:39 |
| Ste1 | I need advise about user management. | 11:39 |
| recon61 | Buttercup: do you get the boot menu, and if so have you tried booting to cmd line ? | 11:39 |
| soundray | xmagixx: maybe | 11:40 |
| mick02 | IcyPolecat THe problem I'm having though is that port 22 is blocked by my work firewall so it can't even get as far as my home server | 11:40 |
| kuthux | xmagixx: just curious, so what happened when u clicked the "eject" ? | 11:41 |
| Venin | what the point of the keyring wanting to save my wlan pass? | 11:41 |
| xmagixx | kuthux: well a small pop up at lower right cornor told me that the media was ejected probely and safely to remove | 11:42 |
| Ste1 | I have multiple users but they don't bother to log on/off everythime. | 11:42 |
| Ste1 | so I have 1 home dir, should I create sub dirs inside this home dir, or just tell them to log off when done. | 11:42 |
| kuthux | xmagixx: interesting.. | 11:43 |
| xmagixx | kuthux: well there was alot of updates last 2 days, so meaby it's changed... now i can only choose mount umount. weird imo | 11:43 |
| redheat_ | rogan, kuthux, icyPolecat and magnetron, are you there guys.. | 11:44 |
| kuthux | xmagixx: well i guess umount will technically do the same thing | 11:44 |
| redheat_ | cause I'm about to bust out of my head because of this problem.. | 11:44 |
| soundray | Ste1: if your users don't play with it, it makes it really hard to manage. You could try to force them into compliance: set a short-delay idle screen lock and explain the terrible consequences of impersonating someone on a computer. | 11:44 |
| rogan | you left right before they replied to you | 11:45 |
| kuthux | redheat_: i'm here | 11:45 |
| recon61 | Ste1: well, if this is just one shared computer , use "system->admin->user and groups" create yourself a account and use that, let the rest of them share the other account if they not interest it having there own | 11:45 |
| redheat_ | the connection got dropped because of that whole security issue | 11:45 |
| redheat_ | the belkin routers are not the most reliable..they have that problem of "if you screwed with their settings" they'll give you hard a time for a while, but they're solid on performance if you let them alone for a long time..it's all working fine now | 11:46 |
| haosen | ;p | 11:46 |
| Ste1 | ye they can share it, but I'm about to add their documents, so I gues I need to create a dir for each of them in the home dir? | 11:46 |
| redheat_ | folks, before we say anything I just wanna say thank you all ..really I appreciate it so much | 11:46 |
| redheat_ | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html | 11:46 |
| redheat_ | I found the above webpage..would that help.. | 11:47 |
| recon61 | well, the home/[username] dir would be better | 11:47 |
| recon61 | Ste1: home/[username] directory would be better | 11:48 |
| Ste1 | don't understand. | 11:48 |
| recon61 | Ste1: in home each user have a folder that is there username , I login using "mec" username, my home directory is "home/mec" | 11:48 |
| recon61 | Ste1: if you create the dirs in the home dir you will have permission problems | 11:49 |
| acemo | how do i get the group of my user to have read and write rights on files i upload? (with proftpd) | 11:49 |
| ikonia | acemo set the umask | 11:50 |
| acemo | ikonia: i tried that but it seems to ignore that.. | 11:50 |
| ikonia | acemo remember ftp's owner is ftp - not your own | 11:50 |
| ikonia | acemo: most ftp servers run as the ftp user, not the user logged in | 11:51 |
| acemo | ikonia: could the ftp server be running as ftp and still create the files with the user as owner? | 11:51 |
| ikonia | acemo depends on the ftp server, nomrlly yes | 11:52 |
| acemo | ahh okay | 11:52 |
| kuthux | how to get v4l2 cam to work with gyachi in hardy ? | 11:52 |
| IcyPolecat | redheat_: yeah sorry - was on the phone. I'd say working through the steps outlined in that page will be helpful as will https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide | 11:53 |
| acemo | so should i create a home folder for the ftp user so i can make a .profile file or does it works different with ftp, www-data and the like services that don't normally have a home folder? | 11:53 |
| IcyPolecat | mick02: that's why you need port forwarding on your home router - forward one of the ports allowed out of you work lan to port 22 on your server | 11:53 |

| ubottu | fr0d0barkins, please see my private message | 12:01 |
| fr0d0barkins | cool | 12:02 |
| dns53 | ^synax install paman paprefs pavucontrol pavucontrol, once you have the volume control you can select the default output device, you should also set pulse audio to use simultanious output so it will go to all sound cards | 12:02 |
| fr0d0barkins | dns53: know any independent equalizer ? not integrated with any media player. | 12:03 |
| adac | rylan, try to enter this command in command line:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:03 |
| adac | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:03 |
| ^synax | dns53 Thanks, I've got them all installed, where would I select the output device with PulseAudio? | 12:03 |
| adac | and leave all on default except the resolution | 12:03 |
| dns53 | fr0d0barkins i think if you set everyhing up to use jack you can pipe it through eqalizers and other things, install ubuntu studio to get lots of it | 12:04 |
| rogan | hows it comin there reheat | 12:04 |
| fr0d0barkins | dns53: ok | 12:04 |
| wr | hi | 12:05 |
| adac | rylan, have you tried the option in system->settings->scrren resolution? | 12:05 |
| remoteCTR1 | how do i cat a file and append its output to another file that requires root privileges in order to be edited? | 12:05 |
| adac | *scrren resolution | 12:05 |

| IcyPolecat | remoteCTR1: sudo cat file1 >> file2 | 12:06 |
| magnetron | remoteCTR1→ use "sudo tee" | 12:06 |
| remoteCTR1 | IcyPolecat: nope? | 12:06 |
| Venin | is net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 the same as echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ? | 12:06 |
| dns53 | ^synax run pulse audio device chooser, select configure local sound server, simultanious output > enable then go to pulse volume control, under output, right click and select simultanious | 12:06 |
| BlueEagle | IcyPolecat: That should not work. | 12:06 |

| dns53 | error404notfound not a good idea to do, but you could set up a cron job to run apt-get update&&apt-get dist-upgrade, you will break your system fast doing it | 12:07 |
| error404notfound | dns53: how? | 12:08 |
| micka | hey i'm looking for an mkv to 3gp converter there i can choose subtitle- and auidotrack? | 12:08 |
| Venin | dns53: do i need a reboot after ive changed that net.ipv4.ip_forward=1? | 12:08 |
| error404notfound | dns53: I have an apt-proxy server, and I want I to make updates available as soon as they are available | 12:08 |
| dns53 | Venin you can use sysctl -w i think | 12:08 |
| heirenton | People my swapdisk does not mount automatically after restart. What should i do? | 12:09 |
| Venin | dns53: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward still shows 0 | 12:09 |
| BlueEagle | heirenton: Add it to /etc/fstab | 12:09 |
| BlueEagle | !fstab | heirenton | 12:09 |

| Oprtz | i cant see windowsXp shared folder, But i can access windowsXP shared folder (direct access) smb://computer name/share folder, ( why cant ubuntu show me the shared folder ? | 12:12 |

| adac | Oprtz, you must mount it first to see the folder. have a look at smbmount | 12:13 |

| Oprtz | adac: do i need to use this command? " smbmount //winpc/shared /mnt/share -o rw " | 12:18 |
| ikonia | chemjeff: just ask | 12:18 |
| Oprtz | okie dude | 12:18 |
| adac | Oprtz, yes if you want to mount it not permanently then use this command | 12:18 |
| aaron_ | it crashes when choosing different options within the program....example...running a slideshow.....etc...... | 12:18 |
| aaron_ | its very frustrating | 12:18 |

| chemjeff | ok. i'm trying to install ubuntu on an older computer (AMD K6, 500 MHz, 8 GB HD, 384 MB RAM) using the alternative install CD. what tends to happen is that during the installation the CD-ROM drive goes to sleep and seems to unmount on its own, then when the installation tries to access the CD later on, an I/O error occurs. is there a way to keep the CD-ROM drive on throughout the installation? | 12:19 |
| Oprtz | adac: :) thanks | 12:19 |
| adac | Oprtz, no problem! | 12:19 |

| sdschwarz | Hi! I'm looking for some help with a USB stick installation of Ubuntu 8.10 Beta via unetbootin - I'd like to use the casper-rw file for persistency on the same (single) partition. It drops me to busybox, though. Any idea how to get it booting properly? | 12:24 |
| ikonia | yt-RoR: thats down to the client your using then, get support from the client doc pages | 12:24 |
| chemjeff | ikonia: well i guess it is but i can hear the drive turn off during the installation and it's not at a point when it's trying to access the CD | 12:24 |
| yt-RoR | client doc ? | 12:24 |
| kenois | danshtr: Basically just backup your data from slackware, and install ubuntu.. I don't see the need for further documentation really, unless it's something specific you're wondering | 12:24 |
| ikonia | chemjeff: the livecd is squash fs in ram, so if it doesn't need to read the cdrom - it doesn't read it, hence why you hear the spin down | 12:25 |
| gharz | guys, is there any search command that will search for a file in all the directories? | 12:25 |

| chemjeff | ikonia: but it does try to read the CD at various points during the installation right? | 12:26 |
| ikonia | all directories | 12:26 |
| ikonia | chemjeff: depends on if it needs to swap (I suspect 300+ meg will need to swap a lot) | 12:26 |
| xarvh | HI! is there anyway to run TCP/IP over usb between two ubuntu machines? | 12:26 |
| ikonia | xarvh if you have tcp usb sticks, sure | 12:27 |
| chemjeff | ikonia: so is there an option i could give to the kernel or somewhere along the way that would force the CD-ROM to stay on? | 12:27 |
| ikonia | network sticks I mean | 12:27 |
| ikonia | chemjeff I don't think so as it's not "mounted" in the way your thinking, it's uncompressed into ram, | 12:27 |

| Dillizar | who | 12:28 |
| ikonia | the offtopic channel | 12:28 |
| Dillizar | the name of the channel | 12:28 |
| BlueEagle | chemjeff: This is an IDE-cdrom, isn't it? You should try passing the following to the kernel with advanced options: noapic /dev/sdX=cdrom | 12:28 |
| Dillizar | :D | 12:28 |
| xarvh | ikonia: what about a cable? | 12:28 |

| Dillizar | :D | 12:29 |
| ikonia | xarvh: you'll need a cross over cable, yes | 12:29 |
| chemjeff | BlueEagle: would it be /dev/sd0? | 12:29 |
| chemjeff | or literally X? | 12:29 |
| sdschwarz | I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Beta via unetbootin on a USB stick. I also created the casper-rw file on the same partition. When booting with "persistent", it drops me to busybox. Any idea how I can boot it properly? Couldn't find any info on the web. | 12:29 |
| ikonia | BlueEagle: why would that help ? | 12:29 |
| BlueEagle | chemjeff: It would be /dev/sdc in most cases. | 12:29 |
| ikonia | !ibex > sdschwarz | 12:29 |
| ubottu | sdschwarz, please see my private message | 12:29 |

| dns53 | harish apache can serve multipe domains, you can have a single server host test.com and anothersite.net so you should specify what site it is serving | 12:40 |

| Oprtz | adac: are u there ? | 12:41 |
| harish | ikonia:can you please be descriptive.? | 12:41 |
| BlueEagle | central: No mis-nicked is a term used in IRC when someone (ie. me) use the wrong nickname prefix. This often happens when one is about to answer a question and then comes to think of something one should have said to the previous question and thus the question appears to have the wrong address. | 12:41 |

| BlueEagle | central: ie, you are aware that you can run fsck when the system has booted and check for errors. If you find an error you still need to manually use the recovery kernel to fix it. (unless it's a filesystem that is non-essential to run fsck, in which case you can just unmount the filesystem before checking and fixing.) | 12:43 |

| dns53 | testi my mistake, have you tried dissabling proprietary drivers and testing it? | 12:47 |

My resolution and driver were just fine until I rebooted.

It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 12:58 |

| Akhanu` | joke|brb: it mentions some option at squid, 'http_accel' | 13:26 |
| xomp | this is the first I've EVER heard of such a distro lmao, I mean I've heard of edubuntu and that makes sense, but a christian edition? Is standard ubuntu that related to evil that it has to be cleansed? | 13:26 |

| IshinoSan | I think it has bible specific software in it xomp :p | 13:26 |

| redheat_ | what you mean? I know what my wireless network adapter card is... | 13:33 |
| jokeUsa | Akhanu` - "it mentions some option at squid, 'http_accel'" - wasnt that an option to set Squid accelerate certain port? | 13:33 |
| drago1 | jrib:ya its started.... but while including ServerName i have given only hostname....... what do i give for port no? | 13:34 |
| ancientadm | redheat_ he means that's what's under the hood. Brands can be placed on cheap parts these days. ActionParsnip was just making sure. | 13:34 |
| redheat_ | Action, I can't login to the wireless network.. | 13:34 |
| jrib | drago1: the default port is 80 | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | redheat_: you see it as a belkin thing that ID shows exactly what it is | 13:34 |
| Akhanu` | jokeUsa: In the link it was mentioned that that squid option, previously known to be not needed, it is needed. | 13:34 |

| Akhanu` | jokeUsa: acording to http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TransparentProxy-6.html | 13:35 |
| redheat_ | the problem has to do with ubunt not enabling my wireless adapter to connect to my wireless network | 13:35 |

| jokeUsa | Akhanu` - yes, see it now, checking up | 13:35 |

| ActionParsnip | Draconicus: the new version apparently doesnt need it. It blew me away too. I always config it myself | 13:39 |
| redheat_ | it keeps asking me about the passphrase for my WPA and that's it.. | 13:39 |
| jrib | drago1: put "ServerName localhost". Does that work? | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | redheat_: do you use wpa? | 13:39 |
| xomp | redheat_, did this same wifi card work fine with your AP and windows before? | 13:40 |
| redheat_ | the two swirling greyed out | 13:40 |
| redheat_ | yes | 13:40 |
| ancientadm | redheat_ sounds like supplicant implementation issues. | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | redheat_: do you have the wpa supplicant installed | 13:40 |
| redheat_ | so what should I do in this case? and by the way I have tried to make it open, no security but to no avail..didn't work out | 13:40 |
| jokeUsa | Akhanu` - that exact linky is about 'he machine with squid running is not the same machine as iptables is running on', which is pretty much the opposite of what im doing...but i'm checking the first few pages, maybe something there | 13:40 |
| redheat_ | I just installed ubuntu and I don't know what a wireless supplicant is? | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !wpa | redheat_ | 13:41 |
| ubottu | redheat_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:41 |
| Draconicus | ActionParsnip: Well, you configure it yourself - maybe you can help. EnvyNG configured my xorg nice and shiny, with correct resolution. I know it's working, because now it goes out of the range of my monitor! I'm pretty sure it's because of the refresh rate, but adding @65 to my resolution tags doesn't work. Suggestions? | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | redheat_: if you use wpa you need the supplicant | 13:41 |
| xomp | ActionParsnip, is it possible to use an old wifi card that can at maximum, support WEP networks with a WPA-PSK network maybe with a suppliment? | 13:41 |
| drago1 | jrib:apache server got started... but still not getting home page.......... | 13:42 |
| redheat_ | what was that? | 13:42 |
| Akhanu` | jokeUsa: in a way it's the same thing. Just the redirection to another host involves playing with FORWARD chain, while when you're local, you don't need the FORWARD chain and you specify the squid-box-ip as your own host's ip. | 13:42 |
| jrib | drago1: clear the cache in your browser and then type 'localhost' | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Draconicus: try setting the leftmost resolution i xorg.conf to 1024x768 | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Draconicus: or try a silly low refresh like 50 | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | xomp: good point | 13:42 |

| Draconicus | ActionParsnip: Good plan, but I've proven that 1600x1200@65 works... why won't it here? | 13:44 |
| Akhanu` | ancientadm: I think he wants to change mac address because wherever the dhcp server is, checks for mac addresses before providing info the the connecting hosts. | 13:45 |
| BlueEagle | delfick: You need to set the files as group readable and change the group of the files to the user the apache server runs as. | 13:45 |
| ancientadm | Akhanu`: MAC filtering... cool. | 13:45 |
| Akhanu` | yap yap. nifty stuff | 13:45 |

| zulu34sx | but the error comes from the file i downloaded from that link below | 14:44 |

| jorge_ | whitor | maybe you have dhcpd | 14:53 |
| jrib | drago1: ok, restart apache | 14:53 |
| jrib | drago1: I'll be back in a few if you still have issues | 14:54 |
| Whitor | mick02, yeah, that works until the next reboot | 14:54 |
| drago1 | jrib: ok........... | 14:54 |
| Whitor | jorge_, it is set for dhcp ... but its not plugged into anything | 14:54 |
| mick02 | Whitor so you're getting an IP address even though there's no physical connection to the router? | 14:55 |
| Whitor | so ubuntu shouldn't assign an ip to it | 14:55 |
| Whitor | mick02, yeah | 14:55 |
| stardrop | Why does Totem freeze for a few secs on startup if internet goes down? It's as if it's trying to load some internet address on startup.. | 14:55 |
| mick02 | Whitor what happens if you do sudo etc/init.d/networking restart | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mick02: you always get an ip, you will get 162.254.x.y as the dhcp fail ip address | 14:56 |
| Akhanu` | stardrop: you're accessing remote files to view ? | 14:56 |
| jorge_ | Whitor | if it's not plugged in so bring down the interface | 14:56 |
| stardrop | nope..not remote..just local file | 14:56 |
| jackmcbarn | <ActionParsnip> mick02: you always get an ip, you will get 162.254.x.y as the dhcp fail ip address | 14:56 |
| jackmcbarn | isnt that 169.254.x.y? | 14:56 |
| stardrop | it freezes for a couple of secs then it loads the file | 14:56 |
| Whitor | jorge_, yeah... That works... but I shouldn't have to jump throught those hoops every time I rebot my computer | 14:57 |
| Whitor | reboot* | 14:57 |

| ActionParsnip | jackmcbarn: thats what i mean, i was trying to remember the 1st octet so took a stab | 14:58 |
| Whitor | mick02, I'm getting the ip that /was/ previously obtained via dhcp ... its like its 'sticking' | 14:58 |
| mick02 | Whitor So you're not getting the 162.254.x.y IP that was mentioned? | 14:58 |
| Whitor | bizzare | 14:58 |
| drago1 | jrib: hey are you there....? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Whitor: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Whitor: are you using static ip? | 14:58 |
| stardrop | Akhanu: i'm playing movies, it kinda freaks me out...feels like it's calling home | 14:58 |
| Whitor | mick02, no... not from that subnet pool | 14:59 |
| Whitor | ActionParsnip, nope, dhcp | 14:59 |
| n8tuser | Whitor-> if its 169.x.x.x it is those bogus link ip address that are non routable | 14:59 |
| stardrop | Akhanu`: also quite annoying, since my internet is not very reliable | 14:59 |
| Akhanu` | stardrop: naaah. It it were, .you'd know it big time from the many who find pleasure sniffing their own network. ;) | 14:59 |

| redheat_ | not much, but take this for example, Creative is still freakingly laggin behind on linux drivers | 15:15 |

| bytecode | redheat_: it is a shame thatevery driver under the sun isn't yet available, but we're doing well, there are a lot of devices that are catered for by default under the kernel, and the fact that there is often the facility to compile your own drivers is an added bonus. | 15:17 |

| ActionParsnip | redheat_: can you please run lshw -C network | 15:24 |
| n8tuser | darklimit-> some sites only wants IE to view them | 15:24 |

| maphilli14 | you want output here actionparsnip? | 15:36 |
| Akhanu` | chadeldridge: I'd say if the script itself is set with root:root ownership, there shouldn't be problems. | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | maphilli14: sure, use pastebin | 15:36 |
| Akhanu` | chadeldridge: also, is it root's cron or some other user's cron ? | 15:36 |

| chadeldridge | sweet thanks | 15:44 |
| jbroome_ | lyk3n: probably broke something. the intracies of your current wine config are not known to me | 15:44 |
| ActionParsnip | VBNewUser: you'd need to set the network card to promiscuous mode to catch all data | 15:45 |
| Akhanu` | chadeldridge: after saving and opting out from "crontab -e" you'd have that same entry in the root's crontab, not the users. | 15:45 |
| legend2440 | amanulla: to edit it use gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst you forgot the gedit part | 15:45 |
| VBNewUser | ActionParsnip: I have done that. | 15:45 |
| kebomix | any one help me plz | 15:45 |
| VBNewUser | The problem is that VirtualBox is different from VMware | 15:45 |
| lyk3n | jrboome_: ok, thanks tho | 15:45 |
| kebomix | i will lose important data | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | VBNewUser: then you may need to set the host as promiscuous too, ive never done it myself but it makes sense | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | kebomix: restore from backup | 15:46 |
| kebomix | how to do that ? | 15:46 |
| VBNewUser | ActionParsnip: can you redirect me to someone who is an expert on bridging? | 15:46 |
| roukoun | i have a sound in .amr format but my media players(vlc,totem) dont support this kind of files... is there anything else i can use? | 15:46 |
| amanulla | legend2440:ok i got it | 15:46 |
| VBNewUser | the bridge behaves differently from a hub. | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | kebomix: just reverse whatever backup mechanism you have in place | 15:46 |
| VBNewUser | so it does not forward all data to each and every port on the bridge. | 15:46 |
| Akhanu` | chadeldridge: WARNING! In the crontab line, put the full path of the script! | 15:46 |
| VBNewUser | I need all the data on one of the ports. | 15:46 |
| chaddy | VBNewUser: was linking someone to bridging the other day, give me a mo and I'll find the link | 15:46 |
| kebomix | i dont hAVE pack up | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | kebomix: then its not that important is it | 15:47 |
| VBNewUser | chaddy: Thanks. | 15:47 |
| VBNewUser | chaddy: I will wait for your message. | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | i gotta go get food. peace out kids | 15:47 |
| kebomix | it tell me that when i try to mount partition ( cant mount ) You are not privileged to mount the volume 'Mixed'. | 15:47 |
| kebomix | it is very important | 15:47 |
| chaddy | VBNewUser: this might be helpful: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.html | 15:47 |
| chadeldridge | i think i got it .. thanks | 15:47 |
| kebomix | i didnt format or do something ! , why it dont open ? | 15:47 |

| kebomix | im sorry . im just in big problem ever , im losing all data | 15:51 |
| VBNewUser | In other words this is like the port mirroring functionality on a switch. | 15:51 |

| Blinny | Hi - I have a few networked printers shared via CUPS and HP JetDirect print servers. After these printers go into power saving mode, they must be manually woken up in order to print from Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 clients - (of course, old Windows98 boxes wake them up just fine) - How do I ensure that these printers are 'woked up' when a job is submitted from a Hardy client? | 15:56 |

| Akhanu` | hernan: you used a .deb file for that ? | 15:57 |
| cpu_temp | n8tuser: dont know about file descriptors anithing. I just know that "ulimit -n" gives still 1024 after writing "* hard nofiles 65535" in limits.conf and using sysctl method and that I get "too many open files" message | 15:57 |

| hernan | Akhanu: yes, I make a local repos, and then from synaptic | 15:58 |

| roxlu | hi | 15:58 |
| Akhanu` | hernan: First I'd browse the .deb file you got and see where does it put the executable binaries. And then call one of those from the command line. | 15:58 |

| magnetron | VBNewUser→ you are using virtualbox. right? | 16:00 |
| VBNewUser | the problem is due to the bridge, one VM cannot see the traffic between other two VMs | 16:00 |

| n8tuser | cpu_temp-> yes, some systems do not allow it to be changed | 16:01 |
| magnetron | VBNewUser→ pardon my french, but that's a stupid setup. run the sniffer on the host, or you would have to arpspoof your virtual bridged network. which is rather stupid | 16:01 |

| scribawf_ | How do I setup my LAN for 2 - 4 'puters through Router? | 16:03 |
| cpu_temp | n8tuser: well obviously we`re talking about ubuntu not about some other system. I tryied the sysctl method and wrote in limits.conf and it still doesnt change the ulimit -n. I goes on RHEL, gentoo etc. So I`m just asking what must I do in ubuntu different to change ulimits -n permanentely? | 16:03 |
| outbackwifi | scribawf: just connect them to the router if it has 4 ports | 16:03 |

| paul68 | scribawf: replace ip address by the real address | 16:09 |
| Akhanu` | scribawf: depends a lot how the router does the ip address assignment and how the computers are configured. I'd guess, you have the windows side setup to get ips automatically, and the router provides dhcp service. | 16:09 |

| TrashMax | well there are some tweaks and twiddles to get the Fn keys working proper...and an applet that is recommended called eee-control | 16:29 |
| HoNgOuRu | the thing is that my ISP gives me the priviledge of having 2 pcs connected at the same time, using the same modem and account | 16:29 |
| Akhanu` | HoNgOuRu: so in a way you want linux to use the ip of the vmware system and also the vmware system to use the linux ip | 16:30 |
| TrashMax | but the eee-control applet just wont work on my machine | 16:30 |
| eth01 | is that advice on suggestion or a question? | 16:30 |
| HoNgOuRu | forget about virtual machines...I just want to use two ips with my ubuntu desktop | 16:30 |
| Akhanu` | HoNgOuRu: well, in linux you can easily assign two ip-s (or more) at the same interface. | 16:30 |
| HoNgOuRu | and no virtual machine involved | 16:30 |
| HoNgOuRu | how | 16:30 |

| TrashMax | Crowley2, I need to ad a repo for that correct? | 16:41 |

| r00t_ | d-b, nothing shows up in synaptic when i search for: 2.6.24-rt | 17:08 |
| Dreamglider | is it posible to copy ubuntu7-10.iso to my laptop and install it from the hard disk ? | 17:08 |
| d-b | lyk3n: ROFL. yeah right. what do you mean encrypted your laptops keystrokes. | 17:08 |
| Rideh | lyk3n: boot off another media and change the configs? | 17:08 |
| d-b | r00t_: .... its under virtualbox-modules somewhere around there. | 17:09 |
| Crowley2 | fevel: this is a 901. I think it has a different WLAN device :(. Which worked out of the box. | 17:09 |

| sqawerlz | I'm having a problem installing Wine. Can someone give me a hand? My package manager is reporting the package indexes are corrupted. Sudo apt-get install wine also reports that the indexes are corrupted. | 17:09 |
| lyk3n | i have a dual boot computer and i added mozilla firefox keyscrambler in windows, i forgot the program says in encrypts at the kernel.When i booted into linux it was encrypted | 17:09 |
| Akhanu` | lyk3n: nope. It won't affect linux. | 17:09 |
| d-b | lyk3n: rubbish. | 17:09 |
| outbackwifi | Crowley2: i also have a 1000H which has the same wireless card (ralink) | 17:09 |
| Rideh | lyk3n: nonsense | 17:09 |

| fwaokda | Has anyone ever had any good luck, good ideas on moving on to a new email address? I have an email address I've been using for awhile but I'm wanting to eliminate the domain because it only serves for a email address.

| r00t_ | d-b, it dosent mathc my kernal number exactly,it says:virtualbox-ose-guest module for linux-image-2.6.24-21-rt instead of 2.6.24-rt | 17:10 |

| fevel | Crowley2: can you tell me how to remove wicd and regain the packages it uninstalls like gnome-network-manager | 17:10 |
| d-b | numlock* | 17:10 |
| Akhanu` | lyk3n: anything you do in windows, doesn't affect linux. Unless you have mounted a linux partition from windows and start deleting stuff there. | 17:10 |
| lyk3n | that is the laptop output | 17:10 |
| d-b | RolfCopter: that is fine. | 17:11 |
| outbackwifi | lyk3n: you have the numlock key for laptop on, turn it off | 17:11 |
| d-b | sorry r00t_ that is fine. | 17:11 |
| lyk3n | the program changes the kernel in windows. somehow it affected my linux | 17:11 |
| outbackwifi | lyk3n: look up to see what we are saying | 17:11 |
| MrKeuner | Using Gnome I am recently having problem that whenever I insert the first cdrom after reboot name of the cd-rom does not change even when I replace the cd-rom with another. What may be the problem? | 17:11 |
| Akhanu` | lyk3n: we're telling you it's not true. | 17:11 |
| d-b | lyk3n: turn numlock off or quit. | 17:11 |
| d-b | lyk3n: you are either lying to us. or it is numlock | 17:11 |
| lyk3n | how do i turn off number lock | 17:11 |
| Rideh | lyk3n: there is another issue | 17:12 |
| Sivam | MrKeuner, have you ejected it ? | 17:12 |
| outbackwifi | lyk3n: what laptop is it? | 17:12 |
| theep | hi | 17:12 |
| Sivam | and checked if it is unmounted properly | 17:12 |
| Akhanu` | lyk3n: there should be a key on the keyboard for that. | 17:12 |
| MrKeuner | Sivam: yes, in order to insert another one | 17:12 |
| Rideh | lyk3n: look for a function type key and an icon / labeling for num lock push em together | 17:12 |
| lyk3n | Rideh: what do i do, this is a gateway laptop. I have to use a usb keyboard | 17:12 |

| lyk3n | i don't see a number lock key on the laptop,but I found the function key | 17:13 |
| Crowley2 | fevel: Open synaptic, look for network manager, mark it for installation, it should automatically remove wicd. | 17:13 |
| Sivam | Mrkeuner, possibly it might have mounted under the folder /mount/cdrom | 17:13 |
| outbackwifi | lyk3n: it will be a key with an icon like a number pad | 17:14 |
| lyk3n | hello this is me typing in the laptop keyboard | 17:14 |
| Akhanu` | lyk3n: it can be labeled with a number, just as capslock sometimes is labeled with a lock sign. | 17:14 |
| lyk3n | oh, sorry. you were right. | 17:14 |
| lyk3n | thank you all | 17:14 |
| Akhanu` | lol | 17:14 |

| zerko | Anyone here actually rent Ubuntu servers? | 17:32 |
| Raylz | sqawerlz: can you install other packages? | 17:32 |
| Akhanu` | Dreamglider: I'd think the iso files are meant to install from cd-s. Wouldn't know if you can install it from another running system | 17:32 |
| Akhanu` | Dreamglider: you have a linux partition with a running linux too ? | 17:33 |
| sqawerlz | Raylz, thats a good question. Let me try to install something | 17:33 |
| Dreamglider | Akhanu`: the partition is empty | 17:33 |
| d-b | Akhanu`: i think there is a method installing from the hard drive bu it requires some boot device anyway. | 17:33 |
| cyrus | a laptop by a company called "one", uses intel-chips. soundcard: "82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller" | 17:33 |
| Dreamglider | Akhanu`: the linux partition is empty | 17:33 |
| Akhanu` | d-b: exactly what I was thinking too. guess Dreamglider has to burn the iso on a cd and do it such. | 17:34 |
| Raylz | sqawerlz: in case of wine you should use the official repositories | 17:34 |
| sqawerlz | ok, thanks ray | 17:34 |
| Dreamglider | i could boot from a USB flash drive | 17:34 |
| outbackwifi | cyrus: that seems to be a known bug --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/192382 | 17:35 |
| Akhanu` | Dreamglider: or if you have a bootable usb drive with linux, I think there are ways to boot with it, and use the .iso file for installing. chrooting and debootstrap involved. | 17:35 |
| Dreamglider | or maybe i can install it from a usb flash disk ? | 17:35 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 17:39 |
| outbackwifi | !hi | kri | 17:39 |
| ubottu | kri: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 17:39 |
| Fah | hey, is parsing /etc/lsb-release the correct way of determining the ubuntu release? For instance, redhat uses /etc/redhat-release | 17:39 |
| ljsoftnet | how do you update the kernel? | 17:39 |
| kri | i want to make a shortcut so i run ':~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox' with a shortcut | 17:39 |
| Raylz | ljsoftnet: compile it yourself with --oldconfig | 17:39 |
| Akhanu` | Fah: I've noticed that ubuntu still has an /etc/debian_version | 17:40 |
| kri | i need it when i play online backgammon and such games that requeries "windows" | 17:40 |
| cyrus | but there is another problem: as this is a laptop the brightnes goes down if i turn off the power supply. the problem is, that the power supply is plugged in but the screen still remains darker than usual. what could i do? | 17:40 |
| Raylz | ljsoftnet: the source is available at www.kernel.org | 17:40 |
| d-b | can one knowledgeable in ubottu add an entry for ufw | 17:40 |
| tomtom0815 | hello together | 17:40 |
| outbackwifi | Fah: sudo lsb_release -c | 17:40 |
| Flannel | d-b: You can submit your suggestions in a query (foo is bar) | 17:40 |
| kri | the command is when im in the mozilla firefox folder 'wine start firefox.exe' ... | 17:41 |
| Fah | /etc/debian_version is misleading. | 17:41 |
| Fah | outbackwifi: thanks, thats what I need | 17:41 |
| Flannel | ljsoftnet: the kernel will get updates for 3 years on the desktop, yes. But it will always be the same minor version | 17:41 |
| outbackwifi | Fah: yw | 17:41 |
| kri | add customized program starter? 'start program in terminal' + | 17:41 |
| d-b | ubottu: ufw is ubuntu or uncomplicated firewall. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall . there is also gufw. | 17:41 |
| kri | ? * | 17:42 |
| d-b | !ufw | 17:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 17:42 |
| outbackwifi | cyrus: err. increase brightness by pressing fn+f6 (on my laptop) | 17:42 |
| Deviosa | . | 17:42 |
| d-b | Flannel: no... | 17:42 |
| Akhanu` | outbackwifi: Am thinking of adding the line: lsb_release -c > /etc/ubuntu_version to rc.local for fun. | 17:43 |
| cyrus | argh, thanks outbackwifi | 17:43 |
| outbackwifi | Akhanu`: you can add lsb_release -a for the full monty :) | 17:43 |
| Flannel | d-b: Yes, do it in a query and ubotu will tell you all about why it's not already a factoid | 17:43 |
| badfish | why does my screen light up every time someone says flannel's name? | 17:43 |
| d-b | ok | 17:43 |
| * erth__ has been twinned! | 17:43 | |
| Akhanu` | outbackwifi: Oh, even better yes! :D | 17:43 |
| d-b | done. | 17:44 |
| kumaraa | any girls | 17:44 |
| outbackwifi | !girls | kumaraa | 17:44 |

| w2naf | Hi. Does anyone here know anything about running 64 bit IDL on 64 bit Ubuntu? | 17:45 |
| cyrus | anuther question: i dont get how to install any programs. for example: i have downloaded the new pidgin (pidgin-2.5.1.tar.bz2). how can i install it? | 17:45 |
| Fah | the only IDL i'm familiar with is related to corba | 17:45 |
| badfish | lmao @ girls | 17:46 |
| d-b | badfish: just want to have fun. | 17:46 |
| Flannel | cyrus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto gives you a walkthrough (you won't be using that tarball) | 17:46 |
| netsurf3 | can someone help me my computer gets jitters and screen tearing even with a nvidia 9600gt | 17:46 |
| outbackwifi | cyrus: if its a tarball (tar, tar.gz or tar.bz2) its mostly the source. you need to configure, make and make install as with any FOSS source. | 17:46 |
| outbackwifi | cyrus: easier way is to sudo apt-get install pidgin | 17:47 |
| Akhanu` | I vote for sudo apt-get install pidgin | 17:47 |
| netsurf3 | the game runs fast and renders fast but it jumps and it make it look like it is running with very low fps | 17:47 |
| cyrus | kay, thanks :) | 17:47 |
| outbackwifi | netsurf3: are you using envy? | 17:48 |
| yancho | I have HPLip 0.9.7 (Ubuntu 6.06) installed and want to update it to the one of HP 2.9.8 .. If i go to Synaptic it says that it will uninstall also ubuntu-desktop .. is it save to do so? | 17:48 |
| outbackwifi | !envy|netsurf3 | 17:48 |
| ubottu | netsurf3: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 17:48 |
| outbackwifi | yancho: yes ubuntu-desktop is a meta package | 17:48 |
| Flannel | yancho: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, so yes. But Have you considered upgrading to Hardy? | 17:48 |
| LimCore | hi | 17:49 |
| nitish_lobin | hi | 17:49 |
| LimCore | what tool is good to crack a WAP2 network? | 17:49 |
| LimCore | and is regular wifi card sufficient | 17:49 |
| outbackwifi | LimCore: not ubuntu | 17:49 |
| yancho | Flannel, got alot of software (i know is bad) which is installed as tar .. so until i am finished with the thesis i cannot upgrade to hardy | 17:49 |
| LimCore | outbackwifi: why not? | 17:49 |
| === eric is now known as talntid | ||
| d-b | LimCore: thank god no. | 17:50 |
| LimCore | btw, Im cracking my own AP | 17:50 |
| * outbackwifi thinks "Thats what they all say, till we read about them in the news" | 17:50 | |
| d-b | aircrack-ng / cowputty but both are slow thankfully. | 17:50 |
| === mklebel is now known as foogalu | ||
| Flannel | yancho: Fair enough. In the future, make sure all of that goes in /usr/local/* which will make upgrading easier (of course, you likely already know this) | 17:50 |
| LimCore | outbackwifi: oh ok, Im a russian hacker. Im telling putin, beware. /facepalm | 17:51 |
| Akhanu` | matterofffactly, any linux can be used for that. It's just the tools that you use, which I really don't know much about. | 17:51 |
| yancho | no i didnt know that | 17:51 |
| yancho | thanks for the tip however | 17:51 |
| Kamu | hi I have the ubuntu 8.10 beta i386 install disc, trying to install using the graphic installer, but when xorg kicks in "Starting GNOME..." I get a blank screen with a few artefacts, I have tried using 'Safe graphic mode' but the outcome was identical | 17:51 |
| Flannel | Kamu: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks | 17:51 |
| LimCore | can one always use WAP2 on his network? or does this only with certain wifi cards? | 17:51 |
| Raylz | Kamu: try the altnerate cd | 17:52 |
| LimCore | is it possible that one card supports WAP but not WAP2? and in that case, couldnt software do the decoding? | 17:52 |
| SlimeyPete | only with newer cards and access points, LimCore | 17:52 |
| outbackwifi | LimCore: i havent heard of WAP2 only WPA2 so in all likelyhood, WAP2 is crackable | 17:52 |
| d-b | LimCore: you mean wpa2. | 17:52 |
| LimCore | *WAP2 | 17:52 |
| LimCore | WPA2. | 17:52 |
| Raylz | LimCore: WPA* | 17:52 |
| Kamu | Raylz: what is alternative on the alternative disc :)? | 17:52 |
| d-b | it is crackable. but it takes to long to be practical vs wep. | 17:52 |
| SlimeyPete | but yes you're essentially right, LimCore. Cards can support WPA but not WPA2. | 17:52 |
| LimCore | AP is new, but the wifi card supports WPA, perhaps not WPA2... Perhaps there are software tools to do the decoding instead of hardware? | 17:53 |
| SlimeyPete | not sure if it's feasible to do it in software. Might involve quite a big overhead. | 17:53 |
| Raylz | Kamu: alternate != alternative ;) | 17:53 |
| LimCore | SlimeyPete: better slow then none network =) | 17:53 |
| Raylz | Kamu: nvidia card? | 17:53 |
| Kamu | Raylz: I mean what is the difference ? | 17:53 |
| Kamu | yea | 17:53 |
| Oni_of_z_AsH | hi guys | 17:53 |
| netsurf3 | outbackwifi, no i am not dont even know what it does O.o | 17:53 |
| badfish | flannel: any idea why your nick would be setting off the alert on my machine in xchat like someone is talking to me? | 17:53 |
| Raylz | Kamu: theres a problem with the recent xserver and nvidia cards | 17:54 |
| Kamu | forgot to mention that, but yes a nvidia card | 17:54 |
| Raylz | Kamu: alternate cd provides a text installer | 17:54 |
| outbackwifi | badfish: you have tagged his nick prolly | 17:54 |
| d-b | Kamu: and disk encryption. | 17:54 |
| Kamu | Raylz: problem with ubuntu or xorg in general? | 17:54 |
| Raylz | Kamu: the new xorg version is the problem | 17:55 |
| Raylz | Kamu: new api, as far as ive read | 17:55 |

| badfish | how do i untag a nick? | 17:55 |

| outbackwifi | MrKeuner: i am beginning to think you are booting from livecd | 18:42 |
| amorphous | hey outbackwifi ;) | 18:42 |
| mcphail | MrPiracy: ubuntu will mount ext2/3 as rw by default (note "defaults" option in /etc/fstab). I'd imagine the explicit option would be "rw" but don't know for sure. Remember ext2/3 has filesystem-level permissions which your mac ext driver may respect | 18:42 |
| wolfeySI | amorphous: i think yes:) | 18:42 |

| wolfeySI | amorphous: well if you dont need to access wireless subnet from outside or use broadcast, it doesnt matter? | 18:45 |
| Brutus | that's my experience with it. i've got a wireless microsoft keyboard and mouse, and they work with it | 18:45 |
| wolfeySI | if you have two nets instead of one | 18:45 |
| Brutus | i just wouldn't advice it though | 18:45 |
| wolfeySI | if they just access internet and stuff | 18:45 |
| sirfelius | scottj: using the natural wireless 7000/keyboard mouse set, works fine, but i needed to do some fiddling around to get the multimedia keys working | 18:45 |

| paul68 | at this moment I have a wireless connection to my server which is cable and make a ssh connection back to my wireless laptop works like a charm | 18:51 |
| outbackwifi | SiON42X: you could tweak mouse settings in the synergy conf file tho | 18:51 |
| darknejo | heeeeeeeellllllllp before I jump out off the windows.... | 18:52 |
| SiON42X | outbackwifi: Is the preferred synergy for Ubuntu quicksynergy? | 18:52 |
| snova | oh, and all of them were for kde | 18:52 |
| paul68 | SiON42X: it is very well possible see my previous comment | 18:52 |
| SiON42X | darknejo: Jump out of windows, go Ubuntu. | 18:52 |

| outbackwifi | SiON42X: actually, i compiled from source | 18:52 |
| SiON42X | outbackwifi: Ah, maybe I should try that. Thanks for the idea. | 18:52 |
| SiON42X | outbackwifi: x2vnc is nice but more of a pain. | 18:53 |
| darknejo | sion42x: ye I just jump off.. but... I can get to work a trenednetusb 624ub in ubuntu8.04... do you kno how? | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | SiON42X: i remember that x2vnc couldnt support more than 2 machines, i used synergy on 5 :) | 18:53 |
| foo | outbackwifi: no, it doesn't work still | 18:53 |
| outbackwifi | foo: do you get an error? | 18:53 |

| outbackwifi | paul68: oh that | 18:54 |

| LjL | DualBootNN: "harty" is not an Ubuntu version | 19:28 |
| Tulimaq | DualBootNN, how did u get this error .. installed something, or how it happened | 19:28 |
| LjL | DualBootNN: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:28 |
| ThexLeopard | what are the commands i need to do to make something start on boot | 19:28 |
| Evill | Okay, with the extra HD removed, device.map lists (hd0)-(hd3) as /dev/sda - /dev/sdd | 19:28 |
| Asem | any 1 can help me please ..... i have radeon 9200 on hardy and my pc hang whenever i wake it from suspend/hibernate | 19:29 |
| Evill | So if I change (hd3) to /dev/sde instead of /dev/sdd, that will do the trick? | 19:29 |
| Reenen | why doesn't the "windows" button on my keyboard work like a "ctrl" or an "alt"? I want to set <win-button>-D as the show/hide desktop... but I can only map windowsbutton Left, and Windowsbutton right as stuff, not the way I'd like to set the shortcut? | 19:29 |

| DualBootNN | LjL what about my sources | 19:30 |
| bimmax | Asem just run hardware test and it will display somehints for you | 19:30 |
| paul68 | emilien: can you guide me through | 19:30 |
| LjL | Evill: not sure. i was rather thinking of changing everything so it matches the configuration you'd have with all HDs inserted | 19:30 |
| LjL | DualBootNN: the file /etc/apt/sources.list - paste into the pastebin. you can open it with "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" | 19:30 |

| DualBootNN | whats the pastebin website | 19:33 |
| LjL | !pastebin | DualBootNN | 19:33 |

| TJ-42 | hibernating ubuntu takes more than a full minute for me (while windows takes just a fraction of this time). is there something I can do to speed this up? | 19:33 |
| LjL | Evill, although i have this feeling that if you try fidding with HD numbers while having all HDs connected, you'd eventually manage to boot (you know you can edit stuff temporarily while in the GRUB menu without actually changing menu.lst, right?) | 19:33 |
| mcphail | Evill: have you tried using UUIDs instead of /dev/whatever? | 19:33 |
| DualBootNN | http://paste.ubuntu.com/58923/ | 19:34 |

| LjL | !ultamatix | DualBootNN | 19:34 |
| ubottu | DualBootNN: Ultamatix is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. Use of this software may cause damage to your Ubuntu install. Do not suggest its use in this channel. See !automatix for more info. | 19:34 |
| Evill | LjL: Yeah, grub never gets as far as the menu if I have the extra HD added. | 19:34 |
| emilien | paul68, no problems , why don't you set your sever screen size instead of default ? | 19:34 |
| Suborbital | ThexLeopard: Firstly, always put the recievers nick first in your question (or last) ... What desktop do you run ? | 19:34 |
| LjL | DualBootNN: remove at least the "deb http://repoubuntusoftware.info harty all" repository from that file, that's just plain wrong. | 19:35 |

| ThexLeopard | youre asking the wrong guy about that one Dreamglider, but id put root first and then your swap space, if only because it looks neater | 19:48 |

| Randal1 | sound, how exactly do i copy the interfaces file back to where it orginally was (with my edits) | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | P_Kable: i believe so but i find it completely contembtible to use the gui, the config file is completely simple | 21:31 |
| Tundrayeti312 | kubotaz4: Perhaps share error message? | 21:31 |

| FireInside | Randal1: what exactly did you do to the file? | 21:32 |
| Randal1 | i'm not sure really how can i do it not at the command line and just copy paste? | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | P_Kable: I tried it once and the gui system was so confusing I had no idea what was going on and found adding a few humanly readable lines to a text file and restarting samba to be much simpler | 21:32 |
| kubotaz4 | ARG!! I get a Failed Burning message with gnomebaker cd/dvd witer | 21:32 |

| soundray | Randal1: sorry, I mistook you for someone else. If you've opened a system file with gedit, you won't be able to save it to its original location. Save it to your home and copy it back with sudo cp | 21:32 |
| kubotaz4 | its starts like its going to burn, then ejects the disk and I get the message | 21:32 |

| DavidCanarias | ejer: last time I played with avidemux I didn't get anywhere a all.... | 22:23 |
| ejer | DavidCanarias: to play on dvd players you must use a DVD compatible format, depends on player, some can do divx | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ulises: do you mean intrepid? | 22:23 |
| DavidCanarias | ActionParsnip: what is ffmpeg and mencode? | 22:23 |
| pw-toxic | ActionParsnip: now i can understand my fault.. i thought i have to look in the folder <ServerRoot>/ <DocumentRoot> i specified in httpd.conf | 22:23 |

| NeoMatrixJR | Q?: I'm installing ubuntu 8.10. I have a dual-boot system that I formatted the previous ubuntu partition and I'm going to load ubuntu 8.10 to that partition now. Do I want to re-install grub, or just uncheck "install boot loader" since grub's already there. Will ubuntu still have a /boot/grub/menu.lst even if I don't install the boot loader? | 22:24 |
| pw-toxic | i have found the folder | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DavidCanarias: its too complex to explain here, websearchng will tell you more than i ever can | 22:24 |
| DavidCanarias | ActionParsnip: Thks for your help. | 22:24 |
| ferronica | i am unable to do change permission on /boot | 22:24 |
| ulises | you think i should update from 4.0 to intrepid | 22:24 |
| ejer | DavidCanarias: avidemux is the best tool, especially for going to dvd http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Main_Page | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | NeoMatrixJR: id backup yur menu.lst then overwrite once yuo get round | 22:24 |
| DavidCanarias | ejer: in that case this explains why the other day I put in a DVD with 4 films on it and my current DVD player only recognised one of them. | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ferronica: sudo chown or sudo chmod is needed | 22:25 |
| Terabytten | Okay, so I have a Sansa Fuze 4GB mp3 player, and I was able to see it once before as removable media, however now am unable. Ideas as to why and how I might fix this? | 22:25 |

| ActionParsnip | ferronica: what are yuo trying to achieve | 22:25 |
| DavidCanarias | ActionParsnip: ejer: If I did put 4 films on one DVD and the person I gave the DVD to couldn't read it on his DVD player could he import to his computer and then re-record or would he need to reformat? | 22:26 |
| ulises | actionparsnip tell me, do you use already intrepid | 22:26 |
| NeoMatrixJR | ActionParsnip: menu.lst gone bye-bye. Already formatted. (now realizing I killed windows boot until ubuntu is fixed) Will ubuntu still have a /boot/grub if I don't install? Will it cause dual boot issues if I re-install grub over grub? | 22:26 |
| ejer | DavidCanarias: he may be able to use them on comp, all depends what you did | 22:26 |

| Lighttitan | Ok so here's my problem. I am running Ubuntu Ultimate 1.9... it's a customized HH release. I normally use Gnome desktop. Got everything set up on it, gnome was working great but then I booted my computer up a day or two ago and gnome won't load fully. When I try to use gnome desktop it will load the wallpaper but nothing else. I have deleted the .gnome2 and .conf files to reset gnomes settings but this did nothing for me except | 22:52 |
| Lighttitan | change the wallpaper back to default, but it still won't load the rest of gnome. I am using KDE right now :*( Anyone got any other suggestions on how to fix this? | 22:52 |
| DarkGu1 | I'll try the nvidia driers. | 22:52 |
| soundray | DarkGu1: anyway, try 'xrandr' in terminal. It should tell you what modes are available and what capabilities your display has | 22:52 |
| Some_Person | hajar: Wait, you have an entire hard drive dedicated to almost useless swap space? | 22:53 |
| ejer | P3X-018: it is installed, right click the top bar, add to panel, choose dictionary lookup | 22:53 |

| DarkGu1 | soundray: It claims the maximum is 1280 by 800, but thats incorrect. | 22:53 |
| Some_Person | hajar: There's no need to do that. That just makes the drive unusable to you | 22:53 |
| soundray | DarkGu1: xrandr does? | 22:53 |
| DarkGu1 | soundray: Yup | 22:53 |
| jrib | Lartza_: pastebin the entire output of 'sudo apt-get update' and the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:54 |
| soundray | DarkGu1: what did you expect it to be? | 22:54 |
| DarkGu1 | soundray: 1400 by 1050 | 22:54 |
| Terabytten | Eh, I'll just try and figure it out later then. | 22:54 |
| Some_Person | hajar: Your swap drive really should be just a little more than your RAM when you have more than 1GB of RAM | 22:54 |
| blunder | what kinda monitor is that | 22:54 |
| hajar | when i install it it is refuse to partition so a i make it all | 22:54 |

| blahblahx | i installed the ubuntu mobile package in hardy, hoping it would give me an ubuntu session. instead, it just installed the packages. what can i do to get an ubuntu mobile session in my xubuntu install? | 23:01 |
| iamelite | Some_Person Very well, i am ignorant to the words that im using. Im fairly new. What i want is a command line and no X | 23:01 |
| Some_Person | iamelite: Then get Ubuntu Server Edition | 23:02 |
| DarkGu1 | some_person: Installing | 23:02 |
| Some_Person | iamelite: That is ubuntu without X | 23:02 |
| iamelite | Some_Person can i aquire and install a script for that from a Xubuntu Live PPC Graphical Desktop? | 23:02 |
| IdahoEv | how do I figure out which package contains the application 'gzcat'? I've tried both package search, apt-cache search, and google with no success | 23:02 |
| ejer | iamelite: if your CD is corrupt this can happen | 23:02 |
| Some_Person | iamelite: What? | 23:02 |
| blocky | does anyone know what the gnome Desktop Effects tab of the Appearance applet actually modifies? | 23:03 |
| DarkGu1 | some_person: got it | 23:03 |
| Some_Person | blocky: It modified Compiz | 23:03 |
| blocky | yea but more specifically? | 23:03 |
| Some_Person | blocky: It enables/disables compiz plugins | 23:03 |
| soundray | IdahoEv: it should be zcat and it's default | 23:03 |
| iamelite | Some_Person, I can only boot the computer as it is now with a Live CD. Can i Install or download from the internet onto that machine the Server Edition, without having to burn or copy a new boot medium. | 23:03 |
| jrib | IdahoEv: do you want 'zcat' in the gzip package? | 23:03 |
| IdahoEv | jrib: hmmm, i've always typed 'gzcat' rather than 'zcat' | 23:04 |
| DarkGu1 | some_person: It list three resolutions. One is out of this monitors range, and another is correct(1400 by 1050) and the third is the current one(700x525). | 23:04 |
| ejer | !debootstrap | iamelite | 23:04 |
| ubottu | iamelite: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 23:04 |
| Some_Person | iamelite: Not as far as I know. Is the Live CD you're using an ubuntu CD? | 23:04 |
| what_if | my 2 soundcards keep swapping between dsp and dsp1 during reboots. How do I fix this ? | 23:04 |

| Some_Person | DarkGu1: choose the correct resolution, hit Apply | 23:04 |
| jrib | IdahoEv: zcat is what you want | 23:04 |
| DarkGu1 | some_person: ok | 23:04 |
| soundray | IdahoEv: you can always alias gzcat=zcat so you don't have to change your habit | 23:04 |
| Some_Person | DarkGu1: If it works, then hit Save to config (or something like that) | 23:04 |

| mecha | DarkGul: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers | 23:44 |
| thiebaude | :) | 23:44 |
| blankthemuffin | mecha, well it's perfectly stable here, I'd be removing all your plugins and seeing if that fixes it. Then adding the ones you really want back one by one, making sure you don't create the problem again. | 23:44 |
| DarkGu1 | I have the drivers, it doesn't say if it's nvidia-glx-new | 23:44 |
| DarkGu1 | But i suspect it is. | 23:44 |
| DarkGu1 | mecha: Do you have an answer> | 23:45 |
| mecha | DarkGul: in console type "nvidia-settings" | 23:46 |
| DarkGu1 | mecha: got it | 23:46 |
| LimCore | How to put foo.dyndns.org to hosts.allow ? anyone knows how to tell hosts allow to lookup hostnames in the file in case they are dynamic and not matching revdns from isp? | 23:46 |
| carrera | oh, man. I just used the Network GUI tool to change my hostname and, again, I cannot open a terminal | 23:46 |
| DarkGu1 | It's weird. I thinks the monitor is bigger than it is, and it only works close to right when it;s set at a higher resolution than it is. | 23:46 |
| soundray | DarkGu1: wow, well done | 23:46 |
| mecha | DarkGul: now change the resolution settings and save to your xorg.confg | 23:46 |

| DarkGu1 | mecha: I know all that | 23:48 |
| DarkGu1 | mecha: But it doesn't work right when it's at the correct resolution | 23:48 |
| mecha | DarkGul: what does that mean? how? | 23:48 |
