| exodus_MS | no one wants to tackle the wireless issue, i see, it is a bit redundant but I assure you i have done my homework | 00:03 |

| rainabba | I'm trying to do a netBoot install using a local Apache server using the ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386 distro. Which folder (from the ISO) should be the root of the HTTP server in order for this to work? (I've already got the PXE side of things working). | 00:04 |
| SpinachHead | okay, I need to install hardy without internet. Does the cd have all the packages or does the istallation process dl the packages as the install goes? | 00:04 |
| owen1 | soundray: get it. created a 1 line script, called it usb-drive. | 00:04 |

| exodus_MS | SpinachHead, yes, the cd will download a working OS but you will need an Internet connection to "fetch" updates and packages not avail on the cd | 00:05 |
| soundray | owen1: that's a good way | 00:05 |
| titan_ | Are there any settings I can use to raise the audio on Ubuntu past the default max? I can bearly hear my audio of movies even with it maxxed. | 00:05 |
| Monkey_ | tgitan, doubleclick on the audio panel on the top bar, and adjust the far right bar | 00:06 |
| SpinachHead | okay, so i did the alternate cd disk. I got to configre intenet. since i dont have, i said later. Then when installing packages in the next step it said error. and I assumed it was because o lack of connetctionl i did the md5sum on the cd and everything was fine. so why would it stop installing ? | 00:06 |
| soundray | titan_: double click the volume icon to get the mixer and make sure that both Master volume and PCM are turned up | 00:06 |
| Helminthe | Rideh: short answer - yes :) | 00:06 |
| Monkey_ | titan, you can also maybe change the 'Front' level | 00:06 |
| titan_ | ok checking soundray | 00:07 |
| jrib | SpinachHead: you would need to tell us the error. You ran "check the cd for defects"? Not just md5sum on the iso? | 00:07 |

| ubottu | scientus_: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 00:12 |

| bcx | hi ! i got a network question - i run ubuntu in a vm and it often disconnects my hosts wlan connection - tried roaming and static - but when i open a network path from host system it disconnects my hosts wlan | 00:12 |
| scientus_ | what would be dangerous, bash doesnt change any config files by default | 00:12 |
| soundray | exodus_MS: why don't you configure WLAN in the host system and use NAT to Ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| scientus_ | itts not dependant on $HOME, etc | 00:13 |
| exodus_MS | SpinachHead, i wish i could help. there are many linux savy folks on this channel, maybe one of them will take the time to help you. dont give up and hang in there | 00:13 |
| nathan-_ | scientus_: good question, i've wondered this too. Same as the addage 'guns don't kill people, people do'.. i.e. bash won't destroy your system, only you as the one who runs it will | 00:14 |
| nathan-_ | if you don't know what you are doing | 00:14 |

| RakataPrime | I just installed linux a couple days ago, my cd rom drive isn't working. hwd -s doesn't say anything about it, so I don't know if it is even being detected. Any suggestions? | 00:14 |

| R0b0t1 | Does anyone have any suggestions as how to get Java applets to work correctly in firefox? The default does not work, and I have tried ubottu's link, which did not work. I had it working on the same install before, but for some reason it just now decided to fail. | 00:14 |
| rogan | how do i get amarok to play m4a format? and read the id3s correctly? | 00:14 |
| soundray | scientus_: running a root shell, you may have certain expectations about where variables point, e.g. $HOME. sudo bash and sudo -i are different in that respect | 00:15 |
| KenBW2 | R0b0t1: could be because ubuntu doesnt include the official Java | 00:15 |
| tarelerulz | Do any of you have a media player the use the mtp protocol ? Is good management program for device that use it . So you can add songs , movies , picture easy | 00:15 |
| jrib | R0b0t1: you need to give details. What exactly did you do that did not work? And how exactly did it not work? | 00:15 |
| soundray | exodus_MS: it doesn't have to if it's recognized in the host system | 00:15 |
| jorffff | try this dumpbin command using the kernel32.lib file | 00:15 |
| scientus_ | ahh, programs make assume root sheel and $HOME=/root etc are constant, i can see that | 00:15 |
| KenBW2 | tarelerulz: Rhythmbox has a plugin or MTP | 00:15 |
| R0b0t1 | Well, OK. I dealt with this problem a while back and fixed. | 00:15 |
| R0b0t1 | it | 00:15 |
| R0b0t1 | What I did was change the default java by using the replace-alternatives, etc. | 00:16 |
| jrib | !enter | R0b0t1 | 00:16 |
| ubottu | R0b0t1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:16 |
| R0b0t1 | But now that will not work. | 00:16 |
| nonix4 | nathan-_: most preinstalled linux systems can be crashed in the store with a 12-character bash command. | 00:16 |
| scientus_ | but soundray i did point out my not thinking that---big thing is i like my working directory to stay the same or i wont use it | 00:16 |
| jrib | R0b0t1: don't say "doesn't work", say what exactly happens | 00:16 |
| jorffff | try this dumpbin command using the kernel32.lib file | 00:16 |
| R0b0t1 | jrib: Nothing. | 00:16 |
| exodus_MS | soundray, ok, im on the host system right now and ubuntu is running in vmware, but i still cannot connect to internet from ubuntu | 00:16 |
| R0b0t1 | Nothing happens when something should be happening. | 00:16 |
| tarelerulz | KenBW2 , do you just drag over the files you want to have on the player and the player read the tags and organize it right. | 00:17 |
| nonix4 | (because they have no ulimits set and ridiculously bad OOM handling) | 00:17 |

| dtech | running Hardy, need to run gksu displayconfig-gtk .... ERROR: GtK-WARNING **: cannot open display | 00:17 |
| jrib | R0b0t1: great, I have no understanding of what your issue is. You're goal is to install the sun java plugin in firefox? | 00:17 |
| R0b0t1 | However, when I do try to change the default Java, it says everything worked, but after restarting and then using "java -version" it still says it is OpneJDK. | 00:17 |
| R0b0t1 | jrib: Actually, its to get that, and allow java applications to run. | 00:18 |
| nathan-_ | nonix4: ok you can destroy a system if you do know what you are doing also. But it all implies that the user is an idiot (i.e. has no idea and could break a system unknowingly, or does know what they are doing and breaks a system intentionally - both are idiots) | 00:18 |
| bcx | is it a problem if i used 2 bridged networks in a vm for xp and ubuntu ? | 00:18 |
| exodus_MS | soundray, im using NAT | 00:18 |
| jrib | R0b0t1: the java you get from running "java" and the java that runs in your browser are two different things. So which of those do you want to work on? | 00:18 |

| KenBW2 | jonasfa: why does it need to be? | 00:26 |
| soundray | nylax: if it was my machine, I'd put Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 on it. There is a slight issue with java in 64bit, so you may prefer i386 | 00:26 |
| jrib | R0b0t1: sun is just lazy (or whatever). The bug on their tracker is several years old, but they don't release a 64bit plugin | 00:26 |

| EruditeHermit | wesku_: what exactly is happening? describe the boot process | 00:53 |
| wesku_ | There comes Ubuntu loading screen and after that there is just massive pixel color things and some of them are flashing | 00:53 |
| Dreamglider | hah! the dual monitor setting is done in the screen resolution drop down list ! | 00:53 |

| EruditeHermit | wesku_: is it red, white, green, blue solid colours? | 00:54 |
| jorffff | try this dumpbin command using the kernel32.lib file | 00:54 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: or something like that | 00:54 |

| LjL | Danskmand: language please | 00:55 |
| Danskmand | I even cant write errorfree.. | 00:56 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: you installed ubuntu server and then tried installing ubuntu-desktop metapackage? | 00:56 |
| wesku_ | EruditeHermit: Yes I installed the ubuntu-desktop package | 00:56 |
| stickmasta | :D help? | 00:56 |
| soundray | lakitu: is that straight after booting, or after logging in? | 00:56 |
| lakitu | soundray, after logging in | 00:56 |
| lakitu | login was fine | 00:56 |
| rainabba | I'm trying to do a netBoot install using a local Apache server using the ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386 distro. Which folder (from the ISO) should be the root of the HTTP server in order for this to work? (I've already got the PXE side of things working). | 00:56 |
| stickmasta | this is the 4th room and still no help | 00:57 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: you have an nvidia card? did you ever install nvidia binary driver with this? | 00:57 |
| Bitbybit | How can I find out if I'm using the 32bit or 64bit version of Ubuntu 8.04? | 00:57 |
| isilion | EruditeHermit: SUCCESS THANX SUCCESS THANX!!! fglrxinfo now shows ATI and radeon 9800. glxgears runs at 9160 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1832.000 FPS. its normal? i think its a bit slow. im on a p4 2.8 1.5ram (ati 9800 pro) | 00:57 |
| soundray | lakitu: do a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and see if it works if you log into a Failsafe Gnome session | 00:57 |
| wesku_ | EruditeHermit: Yes, I have ti4200 and didn't install drivers | 00:57 |
| stickmasta | can i have help with my huge problem? | 00:57 |
| lakitu | failsafe gnome is fine | 00:58 |
| EruditeHermit | isilion: if fglrxinfo shows fglrx and you can fgl_glxgears from commandline, then it is working | 00:58 |
| nolochemical | hey :) | 00:58 |
| rainabba | stickmasta: YOu might want to ask a real question. | 00:58 |
| stickmasta | my ubuntu says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs | 00:58 |
| stickmasta | help? | 00:58 |
| wesku_ | EruditeHermit: shall I try installing the drivers then? | 00:58 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: no | 00:58 |
| soundray | lakitu: would it be terrible if you had to reset your entire gnome configuration? | 00:58 |
| nolochemical | ..does anyone a way to adjust low level configurations like the L2 Cache that ubunutu use | 00:58 |
| nolochemical | *ubuntu uses | 00:59 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: do you want 3D and fancy stuff? | 00:59 |
| lakitu | soundray, what are the ramifications of that - what would i lose? | 00:59 |
| wesku_ | EruditeHermit: nah | 00:59 |
| stickmasta | my ubuntu says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs | 00:59 |
| stickmasta | , can i have help help? | 00:59 |
| wesku_ | im fine without | 00:59 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: don't bother then | 00:59 |
| Dreamglider | stickmasta ask you question | 00:59 |
| Dreamglider | your* | 00:59 |
| soundray | lakitu: things like your panel configuration, preferences settings etc. | 00:59 |
| jorffff | try this dumpbin command using the kernel32.lib file | 00:59 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: do you need the ubuntu server stuff? I would recommend just installing ubuntu from a normal user CD | 00:59 |
| isilion | EruditeHermit: 2952 frames in 5.0 seconds = 590.400 FPS thats better. supose i was using wrong trial | 01:00 |
| lakitu | soundray, i'd rather not. is there a way to "rollback" this update? | 01:00 |
| rainabba | When Ubuntu Netboot connects to a mirror to look for packages, what file(s) is it seeking to determine if the mirror is valid? | 01:00 |
| stickmasta | may someone help me with my hanging screen please? | 01:00 |
| wesku_ | EruditeHermit: Well, no. | 01:00 |
| LjL | rainabba: define "valid" | 01:00 |
| Rovin | hmm, is there an update on OpenOffice 3.0 yet? | 01:00 |
| isilion | EruditeHermit: could repeat me all the commands so i post it for if that could help someone more? | 01:00 |
| soundray | lakitu: downgrading is generally not supported. Do you know exactly what caused the problem? | 01:00 |
| EruditeHermit | isilion: glxgears and fgl_glxgears numbers don't really mean anything. It doesn't test how fast your card is really. The only thing they are good for is to show that GL is enabled | 01:00 |
| Bitbybit | i need to know if i'm using 32bit or 64bit | 01:01 |
| lakitu | soundray, just some updates that i had let go for awhile. they required rebooting | 01:01 |
| stickmasta | can some help me with my ubuntu, it says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs | 01:01 |
| rainabba | LjL: "Valid" meaning, the installed doesn't come back saying "Bad archive mirror" | 01:01 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: no, you don't need the server stuff or no you can't reinstall? | 01:01 |
| thiebaude | rovin:i think i have 3.0 in 8.10 i would need to check | 01:01 |
| rainabba | s/installed/installer | 01:01 |
| lakitu | soundray, so, no, not exactly | 01:01 |
| LjL | Bitbybit: type "uname -a" | 01:01 |
| Rovin | ok thanks thiebaude. | 01:01 |
| wesku_ | EruditeHermit: I don't need the server stuff. This was only install media that I had near my hands ;) | 01:01 |
| thiebaude | yw | 01:01 |
| nolochemical | exit | 01:01 |
| Bitbybit | LjL:tyvm | 01:01 |
| hspaans | thiebaude: 8.10 is still on 2.4.1 | 01:02 |
| EruditeHermit | isilion: the only thing that is missing in the previous post from yours is sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local and comment the line in there | 01:02 |
| stickmasta | can some help me with my ubuntu, it says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs | 01:02 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: hang on a sec before I tell you to do that | 01:02 |
| rainabba | LjL: "Valid" meaning, the installer doesn't come back saying "Bad archive mirror" | 01:02 |
| thiebaude | hspaans,yup | 01:02 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: that will be the last resort | 01:02 |
| thiebaude | 2.4 | 01:02 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: I have never used ubuntu server edition so I don't know what it does | 01:02 |
| lakitu | soundray, is there a way to tell why i'm getting a blackout in place of a desktop? | 01:03 |
| stickmasta | can some help me with my ubuntu, it says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs | 01:03 |
| Bitbybit | stickmasta: are you able to boot to recovery from grub menu? | 01:03 |
| LjL | rainabba: "Bad archive mirror - The specified ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a valid Release file on it." | 01:03 |
| Rovin | can I update to 8.10 when released from wubi? | 01:03 |
| hspaans | and to be honest, 3.0 is not really a great improvement | 01:03 |
| soundray | lakitu: you could examine ~/.xsession-errors for clues | 01:03 |
| wesku_ | EruditeHermit: I think it's just install of ubuntu without the software packages and GUI | 01:03 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: can you ctrl+alt+F1 into a terminal | 01:03 |
| stickmasta | BitbyBit: No | 01:03 |
| wesku_ | EruditeHermit: yes, I'm in terminal currently | 01:03 |
| rainabba | LjL: Ok, so what is a "Valid Release file"? | 01:03 |
| isilion | EruditeHermit: at least tell me what was the file i edited | 01:03 |
| thiebaude | hspaans:are you on 8.10? | 01:03 |
| LjL | rainabba: well, for starters if no "Release" file exists at all, then it's hardly valid | 01:03 |
| hspaans | thiebaude: yes | 01:03 |
| Bitbybit | stickmasta: check the disk for errors with a live disk perhaps? | 01:04 |
| Myyoga | Hey folks, I installed Emerald and now im interested in removing it.How do I get it off my comp? | 01:04 |
| Helminthe | stickmasta: your problem is not related to ubuntu or linux at all, what you said looks like a bios error message | 01:04 |
| EruditeHermit | isilion: I did. scroll up | 01:04 |
| EruditeHermit | isilion: I just told you | 01:04 |
| jrib | Myyoga: how did you install it? | 01:04 |
| Danskmand | soundray - do you think my fcpci can be healed ? | 01:04 |
| rainabba | LjL: So a "valid Release file" is a file named "Release"? | 01:04 |
| Myyoga | through synaptic | 01:04 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: can you startx from it? | 01:04 |
| jrib | Myyoga: you remove it the same way | 01:04 |
| LjL | rainabba: well, and that contains the right stuff. just look at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release , i don't have the specifications | 01:04 |

| soundray | Danskmand: sorry, I haven't had to deal with ISDN for over 10 years (and am quite glad for it) | 01:05 |
| vms | stickmasta: bios says that when it doesn't find anything bootable on MBR, your best bet is to boot a live cd and (re)install grub | 01:05 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then try startx | 01:05 |
| Myyoga | hmmmmm, good point. so then when I go back into the desktop effects tab, U cab choose normal or extra and emerald will not stat up? | 01:05 |
| Myyoga | *start | 01:05 |
| stickmasta | BitbyBit: well i shows the screen with my systems stuff on it then it looks from a boot record from cd, then it says ok, then tells me something about my hard drive then says "Error loading operating system" | 01:05 |
| Danskmand | soundray: What do you use for saxing then ? | 01:05 |
| jrib | Myyoga: it shouldn't. That should be all you have to do assuming you didn't configure it anywhere else for your user | 01:05 |
| soundray | Danskmand: faxing? | 01:06 |

| vms | Killer--Tux: make sure you don't have any file browsers browsing the cd or terminals (or any programs) | 01:13 |
| EruditeHermit | wesku_: can you post your xorg.conf somewhere? | 01:13 |

| Killer--Tux | vms i dont have any programs open | 01:15 |
| alph4__ | Can someone please assist? | 01:15 |
| soundray | nylax: it depends on whether you need hibernation. With, it would be 4.1GB, without, 512MB would be enough | 01:15 |

| XiXaQ | hspaans, yes. | 01:16 |
| MalfermitaKodo | hspaans: nah, only prevent it from crashing! | 01:16 |
| soundray | Danskmand: web.de does something similar (can't really recommend them from a customer experience point of view, though) | 01:16 |
| jrib | mib_9nn3ow: mv ~/.xchat2/ ~/.xchat2.backup | 01:16 |

| unop | mib_9nn3ow, did you not see what jrib said to you?? | 01:19 |
| lakitu | soundray: altho i noticed compiz was still in effect when i logged back in - shouldn't it've been off? | 01:19 |
| * MalfermitaKodo is kinda annoyed with the setting | 01:19 | |
| MalfermitaKodo | *setup | 01:20 |
| soundray | lakitu: no, moving its config doesn't disable it. It just recreates a default .compiz dir when you start it again | 01:20 |
| mib_9nn3ow | i didnt, unop. sorry about that, and thank you jrib! | 01:20 |

| EruditeHermit | isilion: go to System-->Preferences->Appearance-->Visual Effects choose advanced | 01:21 |
| gleesond | how do I ignore updates for a particular pkg? | 01:21 |

| lakitu | soundray - what should i do? | 01:22 |
| vms | Killer--Tux: first, i would wine app db at winehq.org, if it's not supported check cedega's db | 01:22 |
| soundray | lakitu: in case you decide to reset your gnome configuration, the command is 'gconftool --recursive-unset /' | 01:23 |
| vms | Killer--Tux: use wine if it's supported, if not then you have to check cedega | 01:23 |
| Killer--Tux | vms supported by both but the only thing is that i have no sound with wine | 01:23 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Okay, let me rephrase it: the first mouse is normally /dev/psaux... even if is it USB, fsor... what is the 2nd mouse? | 01:23 |

| soundray | lakitu: essentially everything you set via System-Preferences (what you set through System-Administration will be preserved) | 01:24 |
| Helminthe | gleesond: good question, especially if holding back one package breaks dependencies for others.. | 01:24 |
| vms | Killer--Tux: run winecfg then and play with the sound settings.. if they say in the appdb the sound works im sure you can get it working | 01:25 |

| unop | erisco, you'll need a special cross-over cable, if you have one, it's just a matter of assigning IP addresses to both machines. | 01:27 |
| nocive | I was hoping there could be some workaround or hack to remap the 2 click buttons.. :( | 01:28 |
| erisco | unop, a special cable? I just have a chunk of cat5 | 01:28 |
| EruditeHermit | isilion: you get it working? | 01:28 |
| Helminthe | unop: thanks, good to know. a suse-like "provides" without version info might have been useful too, for instances like me insisting on using firefox 1.5. don't ask why :) | 01:28 |
| chris__ | yeah i cant enable my gfx because i can only load in safe gfx mode so it cant reconfigure my xorg config file... | 01:28 |
| MalfermitaKodo | nocive: well, I have issues with touchpads anyways... | 01:28 |
| jrib | d2tehp: no, but I would just use ssh keys and not be bothered with typing passwords | 01:28 |

| d2tehp | in ubuntu 8.04 how can i make gdm not start at boot? | 02:27 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Helminthe: okay... expect X11 to go up in flames in 3 | 02:27 |
| mongolai | I just discovered a strange bug -- I'm currently logged onto a remote computer (with my own account) through a remote X-session and when the *other* user inserted an audio CD, Rythymbox window popped up here... | 02:27 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: after any updates or anything? | 02:27 |
| NaRcZ | Nobody has ever had the issue of network sharing an ubuntu with an xp family, etc. wow | 02:27 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: About 4 hours ago. I've puted a livecd, and use it for fsck, but nothing. | 02:27 |
| d2tehp | NaRcZ did you install samba | 02:27 |
| MalfermitaKodo | d2tehp: remove the symlink to gdm in /etc/rc5d. | 02:27 |
| NaRcZ | samba installed | 02:27 |
| MalfermitaKodo | errr | 02:28 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: did this happen after fsck or before? | 02:28 |
| MalfermitaKodo | /etc/rc5.d | 02:28 |
| d2tehp | NaRcZ both computers in same workgroup? can you see the ubuntu box? | 02:28 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: I've removed pulseaudio, but I don't think it's linked. | 02:28 |
| MTecknology | no | 02:28 |
| renegade420 | how can i mount and write to a removable fat32 disk? | 02:28 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: Before | 02:28 |
| NaRcZ | d2tehp: ubuntu box? | 02:28 |
| kwyjibo | can someone please help me put gnome video playback packages to ubuntu installation defaults? :< | 02:28 |
| Dreamglider | csilk, youporn, redtube, snuffx, whatever site they are all jerky as in video is lagging :P | 02:28 |
| MalfermitaKodo | renegade420: not working defaultly? | 02:28 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: how long have it been running ok? | 02:28 |
| d2tehp | NaRcZ can you see the ubuntu machine from the vista machine? | 02:29 |
| MTecknology | !o4o | Dreamglider | 02:29 |
| ubottu | Dreamglider: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which often turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionably legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) | 02:29 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: About 1 year >_< | 02:29 |
| Dreamglider | sry | 02:29 |
| NaRcZ | d2tehp: no thats the problem | 02:29 |
| renegade420 | MalfermitaKodo, nope ihave to mount manually | 02:29 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Dreamglider: say godtube ;) | 02:29 |
| Dreamglider | plyahh ! | 02:29 |
| Helminthe | renegade420: this should be handled automagically by ubuntu. if not, mount -tvfat /dev/xxx somefolder -o rw,umask=0000 | 02:29 |
| Dreamglider | Goodtube perhaps | 02:29 |
| lanking | what | 02:30 |
| d2tehp | NaRcZ edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf and make sure you are in the same workgroup, there may be a gui way to do this, i always use command line | 02:30 |
| NaRcZ | d2tehp: ok im gonna check it | 02:30 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: So it was running fine for a year. You didn't do any updates. You haven't altered anything other than removing pulseaudio. And it just happened after turning on your computer a few hours ago. ?? | 02:30 |
| kwyjibo | surely this is an easy problem? setting some packages back to installation defaults? | 02:30 |
| d2tehp | also see if you can get to the ubuntu machine by ip, on vista hold the windows key and hit r then type \\ip.of.ubuntu.box\ | 02:31 |
| FFEMTcJ | is anyone familiar with rsnapshot? i want to set it up.. but the server im wanting to set it up on, I can't modify anything in the /etc dir. Is it possible to put the conifg file in another folder and run it? | 02:31 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: I've done the ubuntu's security upgrade, as usual. But that's it, i really don't know why that happens >_< maybe a broken file. | 02:31 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: can you do sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade | 02:32 |
| DigitalFiz | BCM34, your right its out of beta now | 02:32 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: Ok. | 02:32 |
| {alejandro} | hey I did the latest upgrades for today and restarted my computer and now my sound card isn't reading | 02:32 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: It says that it has nothing to do (with full-upgrade) | 02:33 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: You're using aptitude, not full-upgrade, right? | 02:33 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: ? | 02:33 |
| XiXaQ | does anyone know if gimmie is still being developed or if it's died? | 02:33 |
| MTecknology | I can see the upgrades available right now because vmware is messing with me | 02:33 |
| Blue112 | Usually I use apt-get >_< | 02:34 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: do exactly what I wrote above | 02:34 |
| Bhavesh | !convert | 02:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about convert | 02:34 |
| Bhavesh | !debian | 02:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 02:34 |
| Bhavesh | easy way to convert debian 4.0 to Ubunbu? | 02:34 |
| {alejandro} | What should my first step be if my sound card just stopped working? | 02:34 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: That's what I've done. sudo aptitude update give me a lot a lines, but no errors. sudo aptitude full-upgrade gives me also a lot of line, which says that it has nothing to do >_< | 02:35 |
| MTecknology | Bhavesh: do you have your /home on a separate partition? | 02:35 |
| GaMbi_DK | how do i drag a window from monitor to TV using separate X screen? | 02:35 |
| MalfermitaKodo | {alejandro}: dmesg |tail | 02:35 |
| Bhavesh | MTecknology: yes.. actually i just installed debian 4.0 3 hrs a go | 02:35 |
| kwyjibo | can someone please help me put gnome video playback packages to ubuntu installation defaults? mine is broken somehow. pixellated, colour banding. :< | 02:35 |
| === ERROR_SUCCESS is now known as less_annoying | ||
| demism | I added an ext3 partition to my disc, I can't get it to automount when I reboot. It is my new /home | 02:35 |
| MalfermitaKodo | Helminthe: Thanks! it works now! | 02:35 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: what happens if you try to reinstall pulseaudio | 02:36 |
| {alejandro} | MalfermitaKodo I don't see any info on sound... | 02:36 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: I have one more idea after that, but you won't completely like it | 02:36 |
| {alejandro} | hm without tail... | 02:36 |
| Bhavesh | demism: did you edit /etc/fstab with new information? | 02:36 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: Hum, I really don't think it's linked, but I'm trying... | 02:36 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: I wouldn't think so - but perhaps.... | 02:36 |
| kwyjibo | so frustrating | 02:36 |
| demism | Bhavesh: yes I copied the parameters of my / directory and just added auto to it | 02:36 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: Ok, I have an error message when I start gnome \o/ | 02:36 |
| Bhavesh | demism: you may also need to change the file system type from ext2 or whatever it was before to ext3 | 02:37 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: what exactly does it say? | 02:37 |
| demism | Bhavesh: I just added auto though, before it didn't work without it | 02:37 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: Its says that there is an error while trying to load gnome pref daemon (approximative traduction, it's in french...) | 02:37 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: "did not receive a reply..." | 02:37 |
| Bhavesh | best way to convert is just to reinstall/install ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| MTecknology | Bhavesh: if you have /home on a different partition, then install ubuntu normally, point /home at the partition, and don't format it | 02:38 |
| Bhavesh | MTecknology: but no easy way to convert a fresh install of Debian to ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| MTecknology | Bhavesh: no - they're different distros ;) | 02:38 |
| Bhavesh | MTecknology: darn i was hoping i can just update sources.list and go from there :) | 02:39 |
| demism | Is there a gui app that helps me reconfigure my fstab? | 02:39 |
| chaddy | Bhavesh: chroot | 02:39 |
| Bhavesh | chaddy: what about chroot? | 02:39 |
| MTecknology | demism: no | 02:39 |
| chaddy | depending what you want to do in ubuntu chroot might be enough, Bhavesh | 02:39 |
| Bhavesh | chaddy: convert my exciting debian distro into ubuntu | 02:40 |
| Bhavesh | existing* | 02:40 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: If it's an issue with an installed application, you could try making a backup of installed apps, reinstall ubuntu, make sure to leave /home unformatted. Hopefully you always keep it on its own partition | 02:40 |
| chaddy | seperate /home partition and reinstall for that | 02:40 |
| {alejandro} | MalfermitaKodo I think this may indicate the problem - my kernel might be bad (I just updated it today) http://paste.ubuntu.com/59533/ | 02:40 |
| demism | what is this new uuid format, and how can I find ti for one of my partitions? | 02:41 |
| {alejandro} | oh wait they left | 02:41 |
| Bhavesh | got to see which version of desktop cd i have | 02:41 |
| Bhavesh | got ubuntu desktop 8.04 CD will that work? | 02:41 |
| chaddy | demism: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -ah | 02:41 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: I'm sure there's a way to fix what happened, but if I were you, that would probably be the fastest/easiest way to get things working again | 02:41 |
| MTecknology | Bhavesh: yup | 02:41 |
| unop | !uuid | demism | 02:41 |
| ubottu | demism: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 02:41 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: I have only one partition... And I can't reinstall ubuntu, there are dell drivers on it, they will gone if I format :/ And, even if I reinstall, the 8.10 is coming soon... so install the 8.04 isn't a loose of time ? | 02:42 |
| chaddy | s/-ah/-lah/ | 02:42 |
| Bhavesh | does ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 have KDE 4? | 02:42 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: If you have drivers that are only available for dell, there's a chance they will work in Ubuntu - but you can't directly convert from one distro to another | 02:43 |
| MTecknology | Bhavesh: Kubuntu 8.10 will have KDE4 | 02:43 |
| {alejandro} | I just updated to kernel version 2.6.24 - could that be the problem | 02:43 |
| {alejandro} | ah wait here it is | 02:43 |
| {alejandro} | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/211644 | 02:43 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: I've buy this laptop with ubuntu. So everthing were on it >_< I rather fix it than reinstall :/ | 02:44 |
| DigitalFiz | whats the ubuntu random chat channel? | 02:44 |
| Bhavesh | MTecknology: one last question.. easy to update 8.04 -> 8.10? | 02:44 |
| MTecknology | Bhavesh: sudo update-manager -d | 02:44 |
| MTecknology | Bhavesh: incredibly easy | 02:44 |
| DigitalFiz | MTecknology, is there an actual release date for 8.10 yet? | 02:45 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: I'm not sure what else to tell you :( | 02:45 |
| Blue112 | :( | 02:45 |
| Bhavesh | MTecknology: thank you.. be back in a bit with Ubuntu running :) | 02:45 |

| DigitalFiz | ah | 02:45 |
| DigitalFiz | getting close :D | 02:45 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: if you used aptitude you could look back and uninstall the updates you installed to see if that helps | 02:45 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: You could try to reinstall it | 02:46 |
| Blue112 | MTecknology: How ? | 02:46 |
| Blue112 | (reinstall it) | 02:46 |
| MTecknology | Blue112: hrm.... aptitude install xubuntu-desktop | 02:46 |
| MTecknology | try that | 02:46 |
| Blue112 | xubuntu O_o ? | 02:46 |

| MTecknology | keystr0k: oh | 02:48 |
| MTecknology | keystr0k: also --delete | 02:48 |
| MTecknology | keystr0k: rsync -ru --delete | recurse, update, delete files that no longer exist | 02:49 |
| keystr0k | MTecknology, Thanks for the explanation. Just finished reading the man page entries... That will be bi-directional though? I feel like it only modifies the target | 02:50 |
| Blue112 | keystr0k: Make it twice \o/ | 02:50 |
| MTecknology | keystr0k: ya - that's target only... leave out --delete to make it sync both ways | 02:50 |
| MTecknology | wait.. no | 02:51 |
| keystr0k | MTecknology, if a file exists in the target, I want it to be copied to the source... | 02:51 |

| danbh_intrepid | davidf: ah, well, give it a go, then install ubuntu-desktop and linux-generic. If you need help with the commands for those, I can help there too. And you should think about upgrading to hardy | 03:11 |
| xiamx | have anyone tried apache + mono ==> asp.net I have a problem with it | 03:11 |
| DIFH-iceroot | alph4__: sorry but why do you need WEP-Key? WEP is very very unsafe | 03:11 |
| scunizi | alph4__, wep is hardly worth the effort.. but you'd probably have the same issues with wpa.. try wicd or wifi radar to do wireless. | 03:12 |
| alph4__ | Yes I do need a wepkey, its the only access point. | 03:12 |

| dime | so.. no one has any suggestions for a gui ftp client? i mean, gftp looks ok, but i don't really feel like continuing to use it when i seem to encounter 2 pretty obvious bugs the first time i use it to do the simple task of downloading something | 03:32 |
| thiebaude | chadder:if you don't have it you would have to edit the menu then add it | 03:33 |
| kenois | dime: how about filezilla? | 03:34 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:01 |
| jrossa | 192.168.1.101:808 | 04:01 |
| jrossa | sorry | 04:01 |
| jrossa | not that | 04:01 |
| crlcan81 | 8018? | 04:02 |
| GreedyB | where are fonts stored in ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| MisterTaco | should be 127.0.0.1:8080 (or whatever port you set) | 04:02 |
| MisterTaco | local loop back | 04:02 |
| jrossa | port is 8080 | 04:02 |
| MisterTaco | It's confusing at first, but once you get it, it all makes sense. | 04:02 |
| MisterTaco | Did you setup putty to proxy? | 04:02 |
| crlcan81 | Wahahahah. Kildclient is a pain to setup spelles. | 04:03 |
| crlcan81 | I got the aspell and gtk libs. | 04:03 |
| jrossa | dont know what putty is | 04:03 |
| MisterTaco | Ok, then that's your problem. | 04:03 |
| MisterTaco | Ok, here goes... | 04:03 |
| millertime_018 | hey one of my programs won't open it's own files by default | 04:04 |
| dr_willis | GreedyB, for my 'user' i put extra fonts in .fonts the X fonts can be kept in many places. i belive kde and gnome file managers have a fonts:// location that shows them as well | 04:04 |
| yoyoned | jrossa: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 04:04 |
| MisterTaco | You need to get putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html | 04:04 |
| MisterTaco | Yeah, that | 04:04 |
| GreedyB | dr_willis: thank you! | 04:04 |

| Bhavesh | any suggestion? | 04:04 |
| jrossa | will that run on a flash drive? | 04:04 |
| MisterTaco | yes, the standalone one | 04:05 |

| NuryFV | bien | 04:06 |
| tscmga | hi | 04:06 |
| jrossa | ok i have putty | 04:06 |
| MisterTaco | Ok, you need to change the command line of putty to create a ssh tunnel... | 04:07 |
| jrossa | note i cannot install on work computer | 04:07 |
| MisterTaco | the easiest way is to use a .bat file | 04:07 |

| angusthefuzz | ronzilla_: have you tried the proprietary nvidia config utility? | 04:11 |

| nowimproved | Please, anyone with any similar experiences, Out of the blue, it seems as though my installation is destroyed, firefox doesn't work, X doesn't work with gnome desktop, it takes 10 minutes for firefox to open, what could possibly be going on? | 04:12 |
| ronzilla_ | angus, im not sure how to run it to be honest | 04:13 |
| nowimproved | I don't think any family would want to deal with linux, lol | 04:13 |
| ronzilla_ | I tired downloading the drivers and running them with x server disabled but i was getting an error i did not write down | 04:13 |
| ronzilla_ | thnk it was something with kernal | 04:14 |
| cjs | So, how do I install skype? I have this .deb file.... | 04:14 |
| tscmga | i am chinese. my english is not good . but complation(complation, or a words ) at english channel , i am happier than chinese channel . | 04:14 |
| CapTech | nowimproved: I had something sort of like that happen. | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | nowimproved, ive had 10x the # of issues with windows then i have with linux. :) but at least linux lets you trouble shoot... | 04:14 |
| tscmga | haha | 04:14 |
| tscmga | bye | 04:14 |
| angusthefuzz | ronzilla_: have you had the drivers working in the past? | 04:14 |
| CapTech | cjs: Type: sudo apt-get install skype | 04:14 |
| nowimproved | CapTech, what did you do? | 04:14 |
| Azlx | ive been trying to create a static ip, and everytime i do, it screws up my router and my modem, i need lots of help.... | 04:14 |
| nowimproved | dr_willis, i used gentoo for three years | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | nowimproved, I would suggest booting a live cd, and fscking the filesystems for a start to verify they are not currupted. | 04:14 |
| ronzilla_ | nah, i had them working with openSUSE but i switched over | 04:14 |
| CapTech | nowimproved: I ended up having to delete: ~/.mozilla, and starting over with it. | 04:14 |
| yoyoned | cjs sudo dpkg -i skype.deb | 04:15 |
| dr_willis | nowimproved, - i would also suggest making a NEW user and see if everything works with them with default settings. | 04:15 |
| nowimproved | CapTech, yah i did that it seems anything that has to do with gnome is messed up | 04:15 |
| nowimproved | dr_willis, alright | 04:15 |
| angusthefuzz | ronzilla_: can you use a pastebin service and let me know what is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 04:15 |
| dr_willis | nowimproved, if you are lucky its just some gnome setting confusions. (had that happenbefor) | 04:15 |
| CapTech | nowimproved: I agree with dr_willis. | 04:15 |
| cjs | CapTech, nope. "Couldn't find package skype." I was trying to use the deb file. yoyoned, thanks. | 04:15 |
| CapTech | nowimproved: What desktop are you using right now? | 04:16 |
| yoyoned | cjs: are you chris | 04:16 |
| CapTech | cjs: Yeah, sorry, missed that whole part where you said you had the deb file. LOL. | 04:16 |
| nowimproved | CapTech, right now I'm on fluxbox desktop...and I don't know what firefox has to do with gnome | 04:16 |
| Dave|id | anyone feel like helping me get a webcam working?? id is 045e:00f7 | 04:16 |
| cjs | Hm. So it needs libqt4gui, but "apt-get install libqt4-gui" doesn't automatically bring in the dependencies. I need an option or something? | 04:16 |
| CapTech | nowimproved: Nothing. It should work in any desktop. Sounds like you have a hosed install. | 04:16 |
| nowimproved | Captech, but everything seems to work besides gnome stuff and I can't get into the gnome desktop...so I'm assuming its a gnome problem | 04:16 |
| cjs | yoyoned, No, I'm Curt. From Tokyo. | 04:17 |
| nowimproved | CapTech, lol, seriously I can look at my last 10 commands, I rebooted the computer and this started happened, maybe their is corruption | 04:17 |
| Gloom | hi there | 04:17 |
| nowimproved | But I doubt it, I thought that a million times on gentoo | 04:17 |
| CapTech | nowimproved: What were you doing before you rebooted? | 04:18 |
| ronzilla_ | angus, is there a section of the log file you need? | 04:18 |
| CapTech | nowimproved: I also noticed a package addon I did changed the default kernel from generic to server, which caused me a ton of problems. You might want to check that too. | 04:18 |
| angusthefuzz | ronzilla_: I just need any errors, most likely towards the end of the file | 04:18 |
| Gloom | I'm trying to configure a RAID0 on my comp. The mobo has Nforce4 chipset. What should I use, dmraid or mdadm? Any performance difference? Any advantage? | 04:18 |
| Dreamglider | is it possible to have tree screens with ubuntu, my laptop has a VGA and a DVI(With a VGA adaptor on) can i use two vga screens, one on each side and the LCD at the same time ? | 04:18 |
| blah561 | Why is it that after long usage time (a few hours), Firefox does not open, and Terminal does not open (It opens, however, it looks like it is attempting to open, however, it's inactive, and if you click on it, it asks you to "Force Quit." Other applications such as OpenOffice.org and such still open, however. | 04:18 |

| CapTech | cjs: Try running: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 04:19 |
| yoyoned | cjs: paste thee error | 04:19 |
| cjs | It's some graphical thing, the update manager, I think. | 04:20 |
| solid_liq | ah HAH! | 04:20 |
| ronzilla_ | angus, not seeing any errors in the log file, its not very long either | 04:20 |
| ronzilla_ | only one actuualy | 04:20 |
| ronzilla_ | arkers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, | 04:20 |

| FloodBot2 | ronzilla_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:20 |
| nowimproved | CapTech, like anything to do with gnome finally opens but then freezes | 04:20 |
| blah561 | Why is it that after long usage time (a few hours), Firefox does not open, and Terminal does not open (It opens, however, it looks like it is attempting to open, however, it's inactive, and if you click on it, it asks you to "Force Quit." Other applications such as OpenOffice.org and such still open, however. | 04:20 |
| cjs | But back to my original question, just for a sec, what do I need to do to get apt-get to install dependencies. I thought it would do that automatically with "apt-get install blah". | 04:20 |
| nowimproved | Whereas anything kde and what not is fine | 04:21 |
| ronzilla_ | right now im in X | 04:21 |
| thiebaude | !x | 04:21 |

| cjs | Oh, huh, it did install it; I wonder why I got the complaints? | 04:21 |
| yoyoned | cjs: apt-get -f update | 04:21 |
| angusthefuzz | ronzilla_: you need to get the package nvidia-settings | 04:21 |
| yoyoned | cjs: I meant to say apt-get -f upgrade | 04:21 |
| ronzilla_ | nvidia-xconfig-1.0 ??? | 04:22 |

| CapTech | nowimproved: Hmmm. You could try to create a new login, then try to log in with that username and password, and see if things work for you there. | 04:23 |
| scunizi | ronzilla, from terminal sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings then sudo nvidia-settings to start and configure. | 04:23 |
| nowimproved | CapTech, i'm looking that up right now | 04:23 |

| hml | what's broken in ubuntu beta? deciginb between ubuntu 8.04 vs 8.10beta | 04:25 |
| eitreach | hml: Might as well wait to the RC - it's in four days. | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | hml, wait 2 weeks to use 8.10 - Unless ya really really gotta have it.. | 04:26 |
| qwerfd | keram | 04:26 |
| === qwerfd is now known as keram | ||
| thiebaude | nothing broke for me | 04:26 |
| hml | eitreach dr_willis : suggestion is to use 8.04 instead? | 04:26 |
| ronzilla_ | thanks for you help guys, I will try it out | 04:26 |
| hml | eitreach dr_willis : or will it be trivial to upgrade from 8.10 beta? | 04:26 |
| eitreach | hml: But, there are some redraw-issues. That's pretty much what I've experienced. | 04:26 |
| shane^au | hello | 04:26 |
| scunizi | hml, are you thinking of installing for the first time? or upgrading? | 04:26 |
| eitreach | hml: I already like 8.10 better than 8.04, although it's only in beta. PulseAudio works much better. | 04:26 |
| dr_willis | hml, proberly.. If you got a fast connection and dont mind updates every day.. go with 8.10 - | 04:27 |
| thiebaude | eitreach:I agree | 04:27 |
| yoyoned | ajhtiredwolf: try http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D40543&ei=1Kj6SLzKNpDs1gbv4qgi&usg=AFQjCNFgZ9qhbx85JTVNWXQ5KYgp6um0Nw&sig2=BqqvpQ77RpMT2jMKB48EeA | 04:27 |

| hml | i'm a grad student w/ fast internet connection and too much free time | 04:27 |
| ronzilla_ | <angusthefuzz> ronzilla_: you need to get the package nvidia-settings | 04:27 |
| eitreach | Ibex is going to be a killer release - but that's offtopic. | 04:27 |
| ronzilla_ | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 04:27 |
| ronzilla_ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 04:27 |
| thiebaude | me too, dr_willis | 04:27 |
| yoyoned | ronzilla using sudo? | 04:28 |
| eitreach | hml: hop on 8.10 then - it feels extremely solid already, and it has some nice features and rather nice hardware support - and PA works wonderfully, as mentioned. | 04:28 |
| angusthefuzz | ronzilla_: close synaptic | 04:28 |
| scunizi | ronzilla_, you have another program open that's using apt. like synaptic? add/remove? | 04:28 |
| thiebaude | i like the new search in synaptic | 04:28 |
| eitreach | and tabs in nautilus.. | 04:28 |
| nowimproved | By the way, does this mean anything to anybody, [libslab_get_gconf_value: error getting /desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu/lock-down/user_modifiable_apps] | 04:29 |

| ajhtiredwolf | yoyoned, has a good idea but no explenation >_< | 04:29 |
| ronzilla_ | yeah that was it lol thanks | 04:29 |
| ronzilla_ | ok thats installed | 04:29 |
| scunizi | nathan-_, might ... there is a new atheros linux driver released... | 04:29 |
| MisterTaco | I get wacky characters in aptitude menu and my keyboard gets squirrely in VMWare, is there a setting I should be changing or something? | 04:29 |
| eitreach | nathan: I haven't tried, but wireless is a rather hyped feature - it should work better than in 8.04 in all cases. | 04:29 |
| MisterTaco | Like switching some encoding or what not? | 04:30 |
| nathan_ | eitreach : : I heard, but I wasn't sure if it was included in the kernel yet | 04:30 |
| nathan_ | Oops meant scunizi | 04:31 |
| scunizi | MisterTaco, you may be talking about two different things .. in vmware you have to install vmware tools to get better mouse/keyboard support. | 04:31 |
| scunizi | nathan_, not sure but my bet is it will be. | 04:31 |
| eitreach | nathan-: best place to ask is #ubuntu+1 | 04:32 |
| nathan_ | Ok think I will thanks | 04:32 |

| RoadHazard | thankie | 04:33 |
| cjs | Hm. So sound playback works (simultaneously through the speakers plugged into the back output and the headphones plugged into the front output), but recording (through a mic plugged into the front input on my case) doesn't work. thoughts? | 04:33 |
| jonaskoelker | RoadHazard: welcomie :) | 04:33 |
| cjs | (Yes, I checked the mic. switch.) | 04:34 |
| Lordcorm | ugh, anyone know if 8.10 is going to fix some of the sound issues with the Intel HDA chip? | 04:34 |
| Dalem50 | Does anyone know how to fix a problem I have? Ubuntu isn't booting, it keeps on saying the hard drive corrupted | 04:34 |
| RoadHazard | does the mic work plugged in the back of the machine? | 04:34 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: do you have a live CD? | 04:34 |

| CineScope | intel p8600 | 04:36 |

| dr_willis | CapTech, havent had any sound issues at all.. But i hear it can depend on your sound card a great deal | 04:36 |
| usser | CineScope, right can open terminal and type sudo modprobe p4-clockmod | 04:36 |
| usser | CineScope, what does it say? | 04:36 |

| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: Everything else is perfectly intact. That's why it's possible that I'm running Vista right now, on the same exact computer. | 04:39 |
| RoadHazard | anza err, sudo deluser username | 04:39 |
| CineScope | FATAL: Module speedstep_centrino not found. | 04:39 |
| cjs | RoadHazard, actually, I just tried it with the built-in Sound Recorder application, and it didn't work; will Audacity make a difference? | 04:39 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: "That's why it's possible that I'm running Vista" --- it could be that the file system that houses your linux install was corrupted, which wouldn't affect Vista | 04:40 |
| maskros | Question: Wanna replace a Windows Server with a Linux dist. I actually only run Win for the Microsoft SQL Server which is needed for the one app we use on same server. But can I run Microsoft SQL Server in a Linux dist? Want to get away from the costly Win license.. | 04:40 |
| thiebaude | newguy:are you dual-booting? | 04:40 |
| RoadHazard | cjs: did you try in the back of the machine? | 04:40 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: what's the kernel panic message? | 04:40 |
| cjs | RoadHazard, yes, same result. | 04:40 |
| scunizi | cjs, are you running Hardy? if so open a terminal and type .. killall pulseaudio .. then try again to record | 04:40 |
| RoadHazard | cjs: but it is making sound, sounds like the mic is muted in software somewhere | 04:41 |
| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: I don't remember exactly, except all I know is that it doesn't boot. Do you think I should run fsck from my "LiveStick"? | 04:41 |
| usser | CineScope, hm thats weird | 04:41 |
| PovAddict | maskros: I'd think SQL Server is quite tied to Windows features (in such a way that wouldn't run on Wine) | 04:41 |
| Anza | RoadHazard, I did it, and it says in the terminal its done, but the folder is still there | 04:41 |
| cjs | maskros, No, you cannot run SQL server on Linux. I know a lot about this sort of database stuff, though; /m me or let's find a channel where it wont' be off topic if you want to chat about it. | 04:41 |
| CineScope | usser: according to powertop it is running at 800Mhz 98.5% of the time but the fan is still running | 04:41 |
| cjs | I did find it off on the mixer a while back, but that's now fixed. | 04:41 |
| RoadHazard | anza: sudo rm -R /home/username | 04:41 |
| cjs | I've got line-in and mic-in both full up and unmuted. | 04:41 |
| csilk | is there a standard ubuntu opengl packacge? | 04:42 |
| csilk | *package | 04:42 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: I don't think there are any indicators for fsck. Could you run Linux and post the panic message in a pastebin? | 04:42 |
| scunizi | csilk, you mean an opengl video driver.. generic? | 04:43 |
| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: Allright, I guess I could do that. Let me check with other people to see what else I can doo. | 04:43 |
| Anza | RoadHazard, lovely! its gone... Thank you. Do you know about a very good guide to install Age of empires III on ubuntu? I tried once but it didnt work, so I am dling a new torrent with the game and plan to try again | 04:43 |
| usser | CineScope, thats weird so it does scale? can u double check that by adding a cpu scaling applet to your panel and see if it lists different available frequencies | 04:43 |
| RoadHazard | anza: www.winehq.org | 04:43 |
| cjs | RoadHazard: Or I'm recording from something other than the mic. I've tried the various other inputs also available in Sound Recorder. | 04:43 |

| scunizi | csilk, what kind of video card do you have? | 04:44 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: how many options does grub give you? Do they all panic? | 04:44 |
| CineScope | usser, yep running at 800 | 04:44 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: it may be useful for those helping you to see your grub config files | 04:44 |
| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: Correct, they all panic | 04:44 |
| csilk | scunizi, yeah i was hoping it wouldnt be video card specific, that pretty much makes it impossible to package this software | 04:44 |
| Anza | PovAddict, Thanks for the advise | 04:44 |
| cjs | Well, I give up; I'll get my sysadmin to look at it another day. *Sigh*. | 04:45 |
| scunizi | csilk, so what kind of card? | 04:45 |
| usser | CineScope, when u click on it does it list other available frequencies | 04:45 |
| PovAddict | Anza: check Wine appdb | 04:45 |
| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: I'm pretty sure it's not the grub configuration files, I think it's the partition and it has bad blocks for some unknown reason. | 04:45 |

| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: have you shuffled any of the disks around [i.e. moved the IDE cables between them, added some or remove some]? | 04:45 |
| csilk | scunizi, i have radeon 2400 hd | 04:45 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: why do you think it's bad blocks? | 04:45 |
| CineScope | usser, yes - 800, 1600, 2400 | 04:46 |
| shoryuken | how do i remove firefox completely, as if it was never on here? | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | shoryuken, remove the package with the purge option.. but that will NOT remove the users settings for firefox. | 04:46 |
| shoryuken | dr_willis: how do i purge? | 04:46 |
| Relegated | Would anyone be able to help me get Counter Strike: Source sound working in Intrepid Ibex? | 04:46 |
| CineScope | usser, switched it to performance and shot to 2400 but the fan speed stayed the same | 04:46 |
| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: I remember running fsck earlier before this. There were some errors, and I hit y. No, I had not moved the hard drive around, or that would have affected Vista as well. | 04:46 |
| CapTech | shoryuken: Do you also use Thunderbird? | 04:46 |
| shoryuken | CapTech: no | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | shoryuken, the pakage manger has buttons/options for it i think.. or sudo apt-get remove --purge Packagename | 04:47 |

| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: so fsck said something about bad blocks? | 04:47 |
| RoadHazard | Relegated: check if it works on www.winehq.org in the appdb section | 04:47 |
| CineScope | usser, just wasn't sure if there was anyway to say don't run the fan so much | 04:47 |
| usser | CineScope, hm that is really strange. do you have all acpi modules installed sudo apt-get install acpi acpid acpi-support | 04:47 |
| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: Yes, fsck did. | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | removing the users settings for 'firefox' is a bit of a different problem :) | 04:47 |
| scunizi | csilk, kinda sounds like you're compiling a program.. which I don't do yet.. however the packages from a correctly installed driver for your radeon might allow you to do what you need.. unfortunatly I'm running nvidia and not well versed in ATI.. | 04:47 |
| newguy | CapTech, sorry i got sidetracked im at a wedding. it freezes before openening partition manager and same with gparted. it says its in read only mode | 04:48 |

| brando1 | i'm trying to use samba for file sharing but i can't get root in the var/lib/samba/usershare file, what do i do? | 04:48 |
| usser | CineScope, no it should just spin slower if cpu scales down | 04:48 |
| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: Be a bit more specfic. | 04:48 |
| CapTech | newguy: You mean, it is doing that on install? | 04:48 |
| CineScope | usser, all three are installed. | 04:48 |
| newguy | CapTech, install and gparted | 04:48 |
| shoryuken | alright awesome, thanks | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | brando1, what are you trying to do exactly? i dont rember ever needing to mess with /var/lib/samba/ANYTHING befor. | 04:49 |
| usser | CineScope, im sorry i dont what the problem is | 04:49 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: you said fsck said something about bad blocks. What did it say, exactly? [See above message from me] | 04:49 |
| RoadHazard | bleh, 2 hours to download hardy | 04:49 |
| CineScope | usser, thanks for the assist anyway | 04:49 |

| Omoikane | Alright, I want to try and tackle this one again. Every time I boot up my Kubuntu computer the login flash screen loads and I type in the correct password only to have it blink for a moment and reload the login flash screen, over and over. I have no idea why it's doing this and really need to get access to this computer. | 04:53 |
| nathan-_ | shishio: nice | 04:53 |
| ronzilla | what do you recommend? | 04:53 |
| PovAddict | ronzilla: don't run a whole Windows partition in a virtual machine (even less in Wine) | 04:53 |
| yoyoned | shishio: man nice | 04:53 |
| PovAddict | if you have to use a Windows app, copy that into your Linux system, and run it on Wine | 04:54 |
| RoadHazard | Omoikane: youre entering username then password right? | 04:54 |
| shishio | nathan : u know ? | 04:54 |
| scunizi | ronzilla, virtualbox is good but get it from their site if you're going to install.. also vmware is good but there are 2 versions.. 1.x.x and 2.x.x beta.. I've used both and prefer 2.x.x because it gives me access to the vm from any other machine without having to install anything else on the other machines.. | 04:54 |
| nathan-_ | shishio: nice | 04:54 |
| PovAddict | if you have to use a whole Windows system, install it from scratch on a VM (like virtualbox) | 04:54 |
| shishio | >"< | 04:54 |
| brando1 | Ok, I tried "sudo chmod 777 var/lib/samba/usershare" and it said no such path, what am i missing? | 04:54 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: there's an ext2 driver for windows. You can use that to recover the files. Or you can boot your LiveStick and access the file system. | 04:54 |
| MTecknology | ronzilla: first try wine - then go with virtualbox | 04:54 |
| ronzilla | alright, I'll try | 04:54 |
| nathan-_ | shishio: nice is what sets process priority | 04:54 |
| jonaskoelker | Dalem50: that is, if you can mount the file system. If not, maybe testdisk can help | 04:54 |
| ronzilla | !wine | 04:55 |
| Omoikane | Roadhazard, yes. Both are correct. In fact I can login via ctrl+alt+f1 command line and was able to ssh into it. | 04:55 |

| ronzilla | can wine do that? | 04:56 |
| csilk | BlackGA, | 04:56 |
| Omoikane | Roadhazard so you can see my confusion. I was thinking it might be an xserver issue. | 04:56 |
| CapTech | newguy: As far as I'm aware, the live CD's are install CDs. | 04:56 |
| csilk | BlackGA, i run ati, what card you got? | 04:56 |
| BlackGA | Yeah. When I used Envy, it gave a blank screen on reboot, and could not access anything. | 04:56 |
| PovAddict | ronzilla: search the appdb to see if those programs are supported | 04:56 |
| BlackGA | I have an older 9200SE. | 04:56 |
| RoadHazard | Omoikane: yes I see, this is local xserver or remote? | 04:56 |
| PovAddict | ronzilla: I quite doubt it :) | 04:56 |
| Omoikane | roadhazard local. | 04:57 |
| csilk | BlackGA, I'm assuming ubuntu didnt find the driver for you then? | 04:57 |
| ronzilla | yeah its an inhouse application (Thomson ONE) and (baseline) | 04:57 |
| newguy | CapTech, yeah i meant the "alternative" disk | 04:57 |
| BlackGA | I don't think so, how would I be able to find out if it did? | 04:57 |
| CapTech | newguy: I'd recommend trying to install Ubuntu, and if it installs successfully, installing xubuntu-desktop | 04:57 |

| lancerocke | CapTech: i didnt touch them. i didnt give tthem any permissions manually. i installed ntfs-3g and it took care of automounting them. i can mount the one that is having the ntfs-3g issue when i click on it in nautilus. when i mounted it the very first time i had to put my admin password in | 05:03 |
| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: Erm, sort've, just copy some important stuff. The main goal was to get it to boot though xD | 05:04 |
| RoadHazard | brando1: then sudo chmod 777 /path | 05:04 |
| CapTech | lancerocke: Odd. | 05:04 |
| jonaskoelker | of course :) | 05:04 |
| newlife | I'am trying to learn how to use the "Terminal" and ran following command - " sudo apt-get install astronomical-almanac " - So I do not really want this installed - What command would I use to " Uninstall " this ? ? ? | 05:04 |
| RoadHazard | then sudo chown username /path | 05:04 |
| Anza | n8tuser, sudo nautilus? | 05:04 |
| ronzilla | oh wow | 05:04 |
| ronzilla | this is niiiiiiiice | 05:04 |
| brando1 | ok i figured it out thanks all | 05:04 |
| ronzilla | brb reboot | 05:04 |
| CapTech | newguy: Hmmm. I'm not sure what to suggest. | 05:04 |
| scunizi | newlife, sudo apt-get purge astroxxxxxxxx | 05:05 |

| Dalem50 | jonaskoelker: Great, some files aren't opening, at least I got what I needed onto my Vista partiton :-/ | 05:05 |
| newlife | scunizi: Thank you - off I go ....... | 05:05 |
| CapTech | lancerocke: Ewww, tiny drives. LOL. | 05:05 |
| jonaskoelker | hm... | 05:06 |
| jonaskoelker | interesting | 05:06 |
| brando1 | damn, ok i got root and then i went to share again and i got this error... "net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not running." | 05:06 |
| CapTech | lancerocke: I'm not seeing anything there that suggests an error. What am I looking for on that screenshot? | 05:06 |
| scunizi | newlife, also you can always "man <name>" like man apt-get | 05:06 |
| Anza | it says the folder cannot be displayed when using sudo nautilus | 05:06 |
| Oni_of_z_AsH | Hi guys! Got a very urgent question to ask..Please help me..Iv installed PCSX2 in ubuntu..Iv configured it as well..But when a insert a dvd..and click on run cd, nothing happens..am i missing something?? Please help me guys.. | 05:06 |
| scunizi | Anza, you should use gksudo nautilus.. | 05:07 |
| lancerocke | CapTech: just the fact that i have 2 ntfs volumes named 298GB Music that were named that way via Winblows. | 05:07 |
| lancerocke | CapTech: may tha tbe the issue? | 05:07 |
| bobertdos | Anza: and also, directly address the person you're talking to | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | Oni_of_z_AsH, best thing to do would be to find the pcsx2 web site and see what docs/guides they got. YOu may need to enable some plugin, or set the settings to find the cd | 05:07 |
| CapTech | lancerocke: Shoulding be. Ubuntu uses the UUID. | 05:07 |
| CapTech | lancerocke: Those are unique. | 05:07 |
| lancerocke | Captech: linux gave one of them an underscore. 298GB Music_ and 298GB Music | 05:07 |
| lancerocke | i see | 05:07 |
| CapTech | Oops, shouldn't be. | 05:07 |
| CapTech | LOL. | 05:07 |
| Anza | scunizi, same: "the folder contents could not be displayed" | 05:07 |
| CapTech | What's your /etc/fstab show for those two? | 05:08 |
| lancerocke | Captech: what might be the issue then? | 05:08 |
| unop | CapTech, the UUID isn't always used | 05:08 |
| Oni_of_z_AsH | ok thanks man! | 05:08 |
| CapTech | unop: Yeah, I just thought about that too. | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | lancerocke, ive seen where if it automounts and dosent unmount/remopve the /media/whatever dir..next time it automounts it adds a _ | 05:08 |
| unop | CapTech, especially when mounting volumes | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | lancerocke, you can unmount the thing and remove the redundant directories in /media is what i had to do | 05:08 |
| * CapTech pulls out his gun, and shoots Billy Gates in da head. | 05:08 | |
| secret9011 | My volume control buttons stopped working in Gnome even though the volume control in the applet panel still works. When I press on the buttons they act as if it's working but the volume doesn't change. | 05:09 |
| * unop will bet windows did not give the volume that label | 05:09 | |
| CapTech | lancerocke: Yeah, that sounds reasonable. I've never had the issue. I only have one NTFS volume on my 'puter. | 05:09 |
| bobertdos | Anza: What are you attempting to do? | 05:09 |
| lancerocke | kk | 05:09 |
| lancerocke | thanks guys | 05:09 |
| CapTech | Thank dr_willis. :) | 05:10 |
| Anza | bobertdos, its just that it was weird I tried to empty the trash but it didnt work | 05:10 |
| angusthefuzz | secret9011: your buttons are probably mapped to a volume control that has no effect on your sound, for example your buttons might control master mono, but you want them to control PCM | 05:10 |
| bobertdos | Anza: You've already tried via the terminal, I assume? | 05:10 |
| secret9011 | angusthefuzz: how do I map it to what I want? | 05:11 |
| === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire | ||
| Anza | bobertdos, yes, gksudo nautilus, and it says "the folder contents couldnt be displayed | 05:11 |
| angusthefuzz | secret9011: its been so long, i have no idea, i just thought I would explain the problem, im sure someone here can help you | 05:12 |
| unop | Anza, you could use this. sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* | 05:12 |
| bobertdos | Anza: Actually, I'd just do it from the terminal, personally. cd into .local/share/Trash and then rm -rf * | 05:13 |
| newlife | Is there another good command line terminal app - other than the stock one that comes with Gnome Hardy Heron ? ? | 05:13 |
| angusthefuzz | secret9011: nevermind, i found it: System->Preferences->Sound->Default mixer tracks - This is where you can select what setting(s) the volume keys should control in Gnome. | 05:13 |
| CapTech | newlife: You might try konsole | 05:13 |
| angusthefuzz | secret9011: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82733 | 05:13 |
| CapTech | newlife: It's KDE's terminal app. | 05:13 |
| unop | newlife, there are plenty - rxvt, urxvt, xterm, eterm, etc | 05:14 |
| newlife | CapTech: Is that designed to run better on KDE desktop or will it work well with Gnome ? | 05:14 |
| CapTech | newlife: To run better, yes, however it will work with Gnome. apt-get will install the absolute dependencies to get it working. | 05:15 |
| unop | newlife, it will work on gnome - but it's a bit of overkill | 05:15 |
| secret9011 | angusthefuzz: what do I set it to? | 05:15 |
| newlife | unop: Which of the one's you listed is best suited to run under Gnome? | 05:15 |
| CapTech | unop: Depends on what he wants it to do. | 05:15 |
| ronzilla | how can i save my dual screen settings to set on reboot. I had to re-enable it | 05:15 |
| Anza | unop, bobertdos: unop thing in the terminal worked, thank you guys. | 05:15 |
| === ghost is now known as Guest9225 | ||
| unop | newlife, all of them work - they don't depend on gnome or KDE - they are general X applications | 05:16 |
| angusthefuzz | secret9011: you will need to experiment, its different for different setups, just play in the mixer with some sound playing and see which slider makes the sound louder | 05:16 |
| scunizi | newlife, gksudo nautilus then ctrl+h to make hidden directories visable.. or applications/accessories/terminal.. konsole and terminal are pretty much the same.. | 05:16 |
| unop | newlife, I prefer urxvt (rxvt-unicode) | 05:16 |
| angusthefuzz | ronzilla: the nvidia-settings has a save X config button | 05:16 |
| ronzilla | Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. | 05:17 |
| newlife | unop: Ahh ... becoming clearer now - thx - Is there one you are privy to over another? | 05:17 |
| chrisbrl88 | hey... I need to know how to apply a single shell command to all subdirectories of a given directory | 05:17 |
| scunizi | ronzilla, you have to run nvidia-settings as root to save.. start it from terminal with sudo nvidia-settings | 05:17 |
| angusthefuzz | ronzilla: I found that i needed to save the xorg config that nvidia-settings makes and overwrite the default myself | 05:17 |
| CapTech | newlife: That's totally subjective. | 05:18 |
| secret9011 | angusthefuzz: great, now it works, but the volume manager in the applet panel stopped working | 05:18 |
| secret9011 | angusthefuzz: how do I fix that? | 05:18 |
| ronzilla | gotcha | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | chrisbrl88, creative use of the 'find' command is often used for that. | 05:18 |
| unop | newlife, yea, urxvt has support for unicode, transparency, search-back, tabs even and a few other interesting things - and it's lightweight (compared to the gnome-terminal) | 05:18 |
| CapTech | newlife: I was totally a Konsole guy for a long time, but terminal has grown on me. | 05:18 |
| bobertdos | chrisbrl88: Depending on the command, -r or -R arguments for recursion. | 05:18 |
| CapTech | newlife: What are you trying to accomplish that just isn't being met for you yet? | 05:18 |
| ronzilla | how do i mount newly added hardrives | 05:18 |
| chrisbrl88 | I recently switched my webserver to ubuntu from slackware, but it messed up all the directory permissions... I need to chmod all the subdirectories but not the files in them... | 05:19 |
| angusthefuzz | secret9011: right click on the volume manager and change the preferences to point to the correct volume device | 05:19 |
| bobertdos | !mount | ronzilla | 05:19 |

| angusthefuzz | secret9011: youre welcome | 05:20 |
| === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire | ||
| secret9011 | angusthefuzz: what's the diff between master and PCM? | 05:20 |
| chrisbrl88 | unop: missing argument to -exec | 05:21 |
| xTheGoat121x | I've noticed that my sound in Ubuntu is significantly lower than it is when I boot into Windows on the same hardware... the volume is all the way up -- I've checked every volume control I can think of. | 05:21 |
| ronzilla | ok so basically. I unplugged 3 of my harddrives when doing the install for ubuntu and windows cause i was having an issue with selecting a primary HD to be used. SO i just turned the PC off and then plugged them back in. I haves on them that I dont want to loose they are all in NTFS format | 05:21 |
| urban_ryog1 | Hi, is open office 3.0 in an official distro? | 05:21 |
| ronzilla | have files on them* | 05:21 |
| unop | chrisbrl88, you're probably missing something - show us the exact command you have. | 05:21 |
| newlife | CapTech: I came across a terminal app about year ago like the one "unop" mentioned with tabs - and it was very nice to use. | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | ronzilla, basically you edit the fstab file and mount them to mountpoints you create. | 05:22 |
| CapTech | newlife: I just use the default term app in xubuntu, which works perfect for me. | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | ronzilla, the 'ntfs-3g' docs/guides detail this. :) | 05:22 |
| devil | i try 8.10 beta but they have open office 2.4 | 05:22 |
| CapTech | I wish I could move the tabs to the bottom, but it still works. | 05:22 |
| Anza | unop: now it seems empty but whem I pass the mouse by the icon it says there is 22 files there :S I checked the option of show hidden files, but nothing! | 05:23 |
| chrisbrl88 | unop: find /var/www/music -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \: | 05:23 |
| ronzilla | ug | 05:23 |
| ronzilla | i kinda wish i didnt bother to even partition this drive now | 05:23 |
| unop | chrisbrl88, the last thing is a semi-colon not a colon i.e. \; not \: | 05:24 |
| bobertdos | ronzilla: It's not so bad. After you make one fstab entry, it's almost copy and paste for the ohters. | 05:24 |
| bobertdos | *others | 05:24 |
| newlife | CapTech: I have used that I like it - But would like to try the " urxvt" as well possibly - have to check it out. Thanks | 05:24 |
| newlife | unop: Thanks for info on other terms out there as well....... | 05:25 |
| CapTech | newlife: Like I said, it's all subjective. Everyone has different tastes. The correct answer, is the one that fits your needs. | 05:25 |
| chrisbrl88 | unop: awesome... thank you | 05:25 |
| ronzilla | bob, can you point me in the direction of learning about this? | 05:25 |
| Anza | bobertdos, now it seems empty but whem I pass the mouse by the icon it says there is 22 files there :S I checked the option of show hidden files, but nothing! | 05:25 |
| ronzilla | nvm found it on the forums | 05:25 |
| unop | Anza, what does du -sh ~/.local/share/Trash give you? | 05:25 |

| unop | Anza, sound like nautilus is giving you a false-positive - try restarting it perhaps? | 05:27 |
| newlife | CapTech: Well said - and at this point in time I'm searching & exploring - Like I was at one time trying to find a Linux distro that works best for me - Which at this point in time is Ubuntu - Hardy - Gnome - Hands down. Thanks for your comments I appreciate it..... | 05:28 |
| Anza | unop, ok, I will restart the system | 05:28 |
| unop | Anza, a logout should be enough | 05:28 |

| bobertdos | ronzilla: You don't need to do that. Okay, obviously, you're not very comfortable, so we'll just talk you through this, k? :) | 05:31 |
| Tann | How well the NVIDIA chipsets are supported.** | 05:31 |
| ronzilla | sure thing | 05:31 |

| rdw200169 | Slack: shouldn't be a big deal at all; just look up how to allow incoming ports on the firestarter help website | 05:39 |
| Mikenolike | linux* | 05:39 |
| rdw200169 | Slack; it's REALLY easy | 05:39 |
| Tann | nathan_: yes. I've worked with NVIDIA cards, I was just wondering about the motherboard chipsets. | 05:39 |
| nathan_ | ok | 05:39 |
| scunizi | MisterTaco, you'd add the appropriate lines to xorg.conf.. I haven't heard that xorg is depriciated .. just that video isn't using it much unless you need to tweek it.. | 05:39 |
| Slack | rdw200169: lol, thats what i hear, and also thats why im getting confused as to why it wont work | 05:40 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: are you using it right now? i can help | 05:40 |
| nathan_ | just wasn't sure what your experience level is | 05:40 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: do you have the gui application for firestarter open? | 05:40 |
| Slack | rdw200169: i do | 05:40 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: and, are you behind a NAT network? | 05:40 |
| Slack | rdw200169: correct | 05:40 |

| rdw200169 | Slack: do you have port forwarding from you router to your webserver enabled? | 05:41 |
| Slack | rdw200169: actually it might not be now | 05:41 |
| Anza | whats the difference between: sudo nautilus, and gksudo nautilus? | 05:41 |
| bobertdos | !gksudo | Anza | 05:41 |
| ubottu | Anza: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:41 |
| rdw200169 | Anza: gksudo is a gtk frontend for sudo | 05:41 |
| Slack | rdw200169: how do i check if NAT is enables | 05:42 |
| Mikenolike | scunizi, same problem | 05:42 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: what i mean is: are you behind a router | 05:42 |
| Slack | rdw200169: yes | 05:42 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: so you're using a Linksys wireless router or something right? | 05:42 |
| Mikenolike | cant use graphical as the display is already fubar without the 2 lines | 05:42 |
| Slack | rdw200169: yezzir | 05:42 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, when you open the file is there anything at all in it or is it totally blank? | 05:42 |
| nathan_ | Hope everyone has a good night. er.. Morning. Bye | 05:42 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: what you need to do, then, is port forwarding in the router | 05:43 |
| Mikenolike | whenever i use text base it says it cant find the file/directory | 05:43 |
| Slack | rdw200169: somehow i cant seem to get access to my routers config page where all that stuff is | 05:43 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, probably because what you're typing isn't correct.. tell me exactly what you're typing to open the file. | 05:43 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: so you set up port forwarding for ports 80 and 443 (http and https) to the ip address you were assigned by the router | 05:44 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: can you get into the configuration for the router, at least? | 05:44 |
| Mikenolike | when I am in root I use nano ect/x11/xorg.conf | 05:44 |
| Mikenolike | and it opens the file fine | 05:44 |
| Slack | rdw200169: no can do | 05:44 |
| mandark | hey i have just heard abt php nd i just wanted 2 know wats the differencxe between php and JSP | 05:44 |
| Slack | rdw200169: wouldnt it be the same thing if i did it from iptables | 05:44 |
| Mikenolike | whenever I go to save it gives me the error | 05:44 |
| rdw200169 | Slack: well, that's gonna be your first step no matter what | 05:44 |
| ronzilla | im lost on this mounting thing | 05:44 |
| rdw200169 | Slack; your webserver will never be visible to the real world until the port is forwarded to your webserver | 05:45 |
| rdw200169 | Slack; otherwise, all that traffic stops at the router | 05:45 |
| bobertdos | ronzilla: In the terminal, type sudo nano /etc/fstab | 05:45 |
| rdw200169 | Slack; the router doesn't know where to send it | 05:45 |
| Slack | rdw200169: ok, i gotchya | 05:45 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, well.. if you're actually in a root account instead of using sudo or actually using sudo then there should be a / in front of etc.. and x11 is X11 (capitalized) as in ... nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:46 |

| rdw200169 | Slack; i.e. what are you typing in the address bar of your web browswer | 05:47 |
| flourish | bruenig: yes | 05:47 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, did that make a difference? | 05:47 |
| Mikenolike | scun, ill report back in like 2 mins with more failure. I probably had it right for opening as it opened the file correctly, I just left those like that as I am unfamiliar with using text based editing | 05:47 |

| Mikenolike | I want to stab my eyes out and just put windows back on | 05:49 |

| GumBall | Dr_WiLlIS, help me pls <3 | 05:52 |
| Mikenolike | did you have to goto text editing to make it work? | 05:52 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, just consider that the underlying system commands have been around much longer than windows and dos | 05:52 |
| Anza | Dr_WiLlIS, never heard about that | 05:52 |

| Mikenolike | overall I love it, its just a pain to make graphics work right | 05:53 |
| Dr_WiLlIS | GumBall, what do you expect me to do about it? | 05:53 |
| csilk | Mikenolike, for you maybe | 05:53 |
| Mikenolike | and yes, if the companies would play nice it would be a lot better | 05:53 |
| csilk | for me it worked out of the box | 05:53 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, you use the arrow keys in nano to get to the area that you want to type and then just type.... when done ctrl+o then enter then ctrl+x enter to exit. | 05:53 |
| apathadeus | I switched from xp to ubuntu and I like it | 05:53 |
| Mikenolike | I do as well, thats why I am trying to make it work | 05:53 |
| Dr_WiLlIS | Anza, ive usedit to convert single video files/movies to dvd format befor.. it worked ok.. not a lot of features.. but i worked | 05:54 |

| Dr_WiLlIS | Anza, no idea. I never wanted to. | 05:54 |

| Mikenolike | Scunizi, ty very much for correcting the little ect-etc error | 05:58 |
| apathadeus | the_dude, i think that MAY be the cause | 05:58 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, np.. hows the resolution? | 05:58 |
| CapTech | apathadeus: I agree. Have him put the disk in the other drive. | 05:58 |
| apathadeus | the_dude, the ubuntu cd has a partitioner inside, or you can use magic partition in windows | 05:58 |
| the_dude | apathadeus, yeh maybe, and the cd has an option, Help to Boot... | 05:58 |

| scunizi | Mikenolike, might help to install nvidia-settings.. | 05:59 |
| Mikenolike | thats french to me.... | 06:00 |

| Dr_WiLlIS | rangzy, theres a free vmware-server you can get.. ive ran ubuntu under virtualbox also. no problems | 06:03 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, sounds like bad resolution or refresh rate.. ok.. maybe this will help.. ctrl+alt+F7 is where the gui lives.. remember that.. now ctrl+alt+f2 will get you a text screen you have to log into... once there.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings.. then back to the gui with ctrl+alt+F7 and get to a terminal and sudo nvidia-settings.. cange things there. | 06:03 |

| rangzy | ubottu: which is the right forum to ask about wifi issuses with linux ? | 06:19 |
| scunizi | !wifi | rangzy | 06:20 |
| ubottu | rangzy: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:20 |
| extor | Does anyone use gnome-osd? | 06:20 |
| rangzy | scunizi: could you help me with that ? | 06:20 |
| Level15 | has anyone installed ubuntu server to virtual box? | 06:20 |
| jamesish | Level15: I've installed to vmware, not to virtual box though. | 06:20 |

| scunizi | rangzy, i saw you playing with the bot and thought I'd have it give you a link.. it might have some answers to your issues | 06:22 |
| Dr_WiLlIS | Anza, proberly will have to get creative and read up on the mencoder docs/guides.. and the mplayer docs/guides - it can proberly be done. but ive not seen any click a few times and its done.. apps. | 06:22 |
| rangzy | scunizi: Oh I see. I didnt know that the abc ! usename means requesting the bot. | 06:22 |
| rangzy | scunizi: is that a new feature in irc? I havent used irc in the past 3 years. I was using it for a long time before that. | 06:23 |

| Mikenolike | holy tapdancing jesus this is aggrevating | 06:25 |
| Kr0ntab | hehe | 06:25 |
| Mikenolike | *sic | 06:25 |
| jamesish | What you got goin' on, mikenolike? | 06:25 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, there's something that you can try. hang on and I'll get you the command. | 06:25 |
| Mikenolike | scunizi fom what I have seen its a driver problem | 06:26 |
| Mikenolike | read a bunch of posts on it | 06:26 |
| Mikenolike | I have the driver I need but it wants root | 06:26 |
| tavish | can dos applications work in wine/?? | 06:26 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, the 440 is older and should work like a champ.. how did you install the driver for it? or did you? | 06:26 |
| Mikenolike | may the lords be gentle and use lube this time | 06:26 |
| jamesish | tavish: sometimes, I think,but try dosbox instead. | 06:26 |
| Omoikane_ | This computer is killing me, I forwarded port 8080 and 22 the computer's name is Yahweh Local ip is 192.168.2.5 WAN ip is 97.81.79.123 username is nickolaus pass is nickojo could someone try and login? | 06:26 |
| Mikenolike | scunizi, its a well documented problem on this laptop | 06:27 |
| Mikenolike | c840 dell | 06:27 |
| ronzilla | !itunes | 06:27 |
| ubottu | itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 06:27 |
| ronzilla | !palyers | 06:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about palyers | 06:27 |

| rangzy | Mikenolike: do you refer to the wifi issue ? | 06:27 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, ah.. I'm using a vostro 1400 right now.. were there any work-a-rounds? | 06:27 |
| Kr0ntab | Omoikane_: prolly not a good idea to give that out mate... | 06:27 |
| ronzilla | if anyone has the iphone is there an app i can use in linux for syncing my data and adding files... | 06:28 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, also when reading those posts.. look at the date.. if they are older you might be able to ignore them. | 06:28 |
| Mikenolike | wifi is fine, no installs needed or anything I made sure I had a card that works with it | 06:28 |
| Omoikane_ | Kr0ntab nothing on that computer to break. | 06:28 |
| jamesish | Omoikane_: connection refused. | 06:28 |
| Mikenolike | its ONLY display that haunts me like a bad prom date you shove into the trunk of your car before you push it into the lake | 06:29 |
| Kr0ntab | Omoikane_: connection refused which means that the port is closed... not filtered... | 06:29 |
| Kr0ntab | Omoikane_: netstat -an | grep 22 | 06:29 |
| therealnanotube | i'm on feisty, know that it will be out of support at the end of october. should i upgrade now to hardy, or better to wait until intrepid. (in other words - does intrepid look like it's going to be stable and solid? or is it more "experimental", like edgy was) | 06:29 |
| Kr0ntab | does it show "LISTENING" ? | 06:30 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, have you tried.... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 06:30 |
| Kr0ntab | LISTEN I mean | 06:30 |
| Mikenolike | lol? | 06:30 |

| Omoikane_ | Kr0ntab what am I looking for? | 06:31 |
| hml | lol; there are users named FloodBot ? | 06:31 |
| rangzy | what happened to icesword ? | 06:31 |
| attickid | is it possible to download all files in a directory with wget? | 06:31 |
| therealnanotube | attickid: yes? | 06:31 |
| rangzy | !wireless | 06:32 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:32 |
| Kr0ntab | Omoikane_: I'm assuming you've turned on port forwarding for an SSH server begind yer firewall... and you wannt to make sure that the server is actually listening on port 22 | 06:32 |
| attickid | therealnonotube:I dont know,Im trying to download all files which are in a directory of a webserver instead of clicking each of them manually | 06:32 |
| kambiz_ | my ctrl key is not functioning like a control key, for example when i try to make individual selections from a html selectbox form, i either have to select all or none - can't select a subset. | 06:32 |
| therealnanotube | attickid: "man wget" to learn about the options for wget. | 06:32 |
| rangzy | attickid: if it is ftp, try using filezilla | 06:33 |
| Mikenolike | oh dandy, it wants me to turn off x before I can install | 06:33 |
| rangzy | I think there is a linux version of filezilla | 06:33 |
| jamesish | There's a linux version; I use it every now and then. | 06:33 |
| ghhfgh | hi | 06:33 |
| kambiz_ | what can i do to make my ctrl function like a control key and not like a shift when selecting items | 06:33 |
| therealnanotube | attickid: specifically, the "-r" option for recursive get is probably what you're looking for. | 06:33 |
| ghhfgh | does anyone know how to change my alias in this chat? | 06:33 |
| attickid | therealnonotube: yeah:Dthanks I just figured out:D | 06:34 |
| Omoikane_ | Kr0ntab it says cp 0 0 0.0;0.0:37221 0.0.0.0:* Listen cp6 0 0 : : :22 : : :* LISTEN | 06:34 |
| a1len | i want to dive into coding. i read and have been advised that running ubuntu linux would be a good idea. should i go ahead and run that from now on instead of vista? | 06:34 |
| therealnanotube | attickid: cool :) | 06:34 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, remember ctrl+alt+F2? do that and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop... that will stop x ... but what are you trying to install? | 06:34 |
| Kr0ntab | Omoikane_: dont paste here | 06:34 |
| ghhfgh | a1en > yes!!! | 06:34 |
| Mikenolike | older display drivers | 06:34 |
| Mikenolike | its a finicky thing | 06:34 |
| Mikenolike | this is my last resort | 06:34 |
| attickid | therealnanotube: Im new to linux :D and I lvoe the fact I dont have to do such repetitive job :D definetely I LOVE IT:D | 06:35 |
| ghhfgh | miken what you trying to install? | 06:35 |
| Chris_Foster | a1len: yea, trust me. Linux is way better for coding than windows. And with linux, you'll learn alot more along the way and wont have to resort to dirty tricks in windows to do stuff | 06:35 |
| Mikenolike | older display drivers for my laptop | 06:35 |
| therealnanotube | attickid: excellent. :) | 06:35 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, you should be able to do that from synaptic or a terminal.. synaptic is under Sytem/Admin or from terminal type sudo apt-cache nvidia for a list of drivers. | 06:35 |
| Chris_Foster | a1len: the posibilities are endless, aslong as your willing to learn | 06:35 |
| jamesish | Mikenolike: installing drivers for video is teh satan. Just breath in slowly, then set fire to the sodding thing. | 06:35 |
| mynameistux | my logitech mouse stopped working, and I don't remember what I was doing before it stopped. I have confirmed it is not the battery, it is wireless | 06:36 |
| therealnanotube | attickid: that said, there /is/ a wget for windows... it just doesn't come by default. :) but there are plenty of reasons to like linux. :) | 06:36 |
| Mikenolike | scunizi, if this fails I am just giving up. its really not worh the effort anymore | 06:36 |
| Mikenolike | I am about to go jamesish route as well | 06:36 |
| Monkey_ | Anyone know how to get the STA drivers from broadcom to show up in my hardware drivers window to use? | 06:36 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, such a little thing :).. once fixed it's done | 06:36 |
| jamesish | Mikenolike: if it helps, I've written x configs by hand and been exactly where you are now. We can help. | 06:36 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: what's your video card? | 06:36 |
| mynameistux | is there a way to reset the usb dongle on logitech mice | 06:37 |
| Mikenolike | nVidia GeForce4 440 go 32MB on a dell c840 | 06:37 |
| therealnanotube | mynameistux: pull it out and stick it back in? :) | 06:37 |
| === [Mau_Restor] is now known as mau_restor | ||
| mynameistux | yeah, tried that :P | 06:37 |
| ghhfgh | i've just ordered a mx400!! getting it del on monday | 06:37 |
| Mikenolike | the picture of what my display looks like is this http://members.cox.net/mikenolike1/DSC00643.JPG | 06:37 |
| mynameistux | maybe if I leave it out for a bit? | 06:37 |
| Mikenolike | when I use printscreen it shows up as a normal display | 06:37 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: ah... and you are using the foss nv driver? or the closed-source nvidia? | 06:37 |
| Mikenolike | closed source | 06:38 |
| mynameistux | nope, still dosn't work | 06:38 |
| jamesish | mikenolike: I've generally found that the nvidia drivers are reliable once they're loaded, but their custom x configs can sometimes be hairy. If you need help, really, talk to us. I've read the nvidia config docs a few times, and they're relatively painless. | 06:38 |
| Monkey_ | Anyone know what the package names is for the STA drivers from Broadcom are? THey aren't showing up in my hardware drivers window. | 06:38 |
| Tonno | Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media? | 06:38 |
| apathadeus | Mikenolike, seems like a resolution problem | 06:38 |
| Mikenolike | its set to native resolution | 06:38 |
| scunizi | jamesish, he needs one of the older drivers.. his machine has reported problems with the stock drivers. | 06:38 |
| apathadeus | Mikenolike, have you tried resetting resolutions | 06:38 |
| Mikenolike | all other resolutions have the same efect | 06:38 |
| mynameistux | gah I paid 40 bucks for this mouse, and now it has stopped working, less than a week after I got it ! | 06:38 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: tried the nv driver? | 06:38 |
| apathadeus | i see | 06:38 |
| jamesish | scunizi: there's a meta package for old drivers on teh nvidia website. | 06:39 |
| rangzy | mynameistux: oh! 40 bucks is too expensive. I bought one for 9 bucks. and it rocks | 06:39 |
| therealnanotube | mynameistux: well... the good news is that you can probably return it... :) | 06:39 |
| rangzy | logitech | 06:39 |
| Mikenolike | normal setting without using restricted drivers yield a normal display | 06:39 |
| scunizi | jamesish, here's his link for a screen shot. http://members.cox.net/mikenolike1/DSC00643.JPG | 06:39 |
| mynameistux | its a good mouse | 06:39 |
| jamesish | scunizi: but installing the driver isn't the end of it. The x-config that it generates only works some of the time. | 06:39 |
| Mikenolike | using the restricted driver provided gives me the black screen of death | 06:39 |
| Tonno | Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media? | 06:39 |
| mynameistux | was a good mouse | 06:39 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: so why not use the opensource driver? | 06:39 |
| Mikenolike | editing xorg.conf gives me the picture I gave you | 06:39 |
| Monkey_ | Anyone know anything related to the Broadcom STA driver here? | 06:39 |
| Mikenolike | I hate opensource, bleh | 06:39 |
| ghhfgh | mike > 1) try envy 2) try nvidia-glx, then nvidia-config then nvidia-settings 3) try system > admin > restricted drivers | 06:40 |
| jamesish | scunizi: or, rather, the x=config that nvidia-config or whatever the command is generates. Sometimes it's not good. | 06:40 |
| binarymutant | anyone know where I can find a good wallpaper for a transparent terminal? | 06:40 |
| scunizi | jamesish, if you can walk him through it that would be great.. I've gotta find my pillow. | 06:40 |
| siimo | hi, anyone know if microsoft wireless desktop 700 will work on ubuntu? | 06:40 |
| scunizi | Mikenolike, jamesish should be able to help.. I've gotta sleep .. :) good luck | 06:40 |
| ghhfgh | binary > the black vista wallpaper is pretty good for that | 06:40 |
| Tonno | Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media? | 06:41 |
| Mikenolike | night scunizi, ty for getting me this far! | 06:41 |
| therealnanotube | siimo: looks like "yes" : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=895696 | 06:41 |
| binarymutant | ggeecko: thanks i've seen the unbranded one before | 06:41 |
| apathadeus | you can try catting different files and send it to /dev/dsp :) | 06:42 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: heh | 06:42 |
| Mikenolike | what the open source remark? | 06:42 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: yea :) | 06:42 |
| mynameistux | my logitech mouse stopped working, and I don't remember what I was doing before it stopped. I have confirmed it is not the battery, it is wireless | 06:42 |
| jamesish | Mikenolike: We'll get you through this, no worries. Just be aware I'll be leaving for about forty minutes in about ten minutes. I'll be back later, though. | 06:43 |
| Mikenolike | well they dont release full specs on things right? | 06:43 |
| jamesish | Mikenolike: you sure you got the right driver, first? There're several, and one covers legacy hardware one covers new. If you have the wrong one, it won't install and it'll TELL you that it's not supporting your card. | 06:43 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: yea, that's why the oss driver lacks some features... but it should be perfectly fine for regular 2-d stuff. | 06:43 |
| ghhfgh | he needs the lagacy one | 06:43 |
| ghhfgh | ;egacy | 06:43 |
| ghhfgh | legacy! :) | 06:44 |
| rangzy | :) | 06:44 |
| therealnanotube | mynameistux: have you tried websearching for your mouse model number to see if others come up with similar problems? | 06:44 |
| mynameistux | well, uh, no. | 06:44 |
| mynameistux | *opens google* | 06:44 |

| === Slack__ is now known as Slack | ||
| jamesish | mikenolike: it sounded earlier like you have the driver, you've just got to drop X windows and then run the installer. Is that the case? Once that's done, if something goes wrong UBuntu'll back up your old x-config and offer to restore it after a few bad attempts to start X. | 06:45 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: heh, pretty fragile, if a videodriver can get you so. :) | 06:45 |
| Mikenolike | dude | 06:45 |
| crushy | anybody who can install ispconfig :-s | 06:46 |
| ghhfgh | mike > get newer hardware and use envy, it'll install it no probs. it's only cos its old hardware and they didn't plan for doing ubuntu drivers | 06:46 |
| Mikenolike | it would have been more cost effective by now for me to toss this into the garbage and buy a new laptop | 06:46 |
| jamesish | If it makes any odds to you, I normally charge sixty five per hour ;) | 06:46 |
| rangzy | thanks everyone. bye | 06:46 |
| therealnanotube | Mikenolike: or you could just use the default nv driver. heh. why exactly were you unhappy with it in the first place? | 06:46 |
| Mikenolike | then I could have bought 2 new laptops | 06:47 |
| jamesish | It was screwing his display up. | 06:47 |
| therealnanotube | crushy: there's probably plenty of documentation on ispconfig.org | 06:47 |
| jamesish | Mikenolike: where are you in the process? Are you ready to kill X and do the hardcore command line install? | 06:47 |
| crushy | i checked and followed all but i dont know why am getting this error:( | 06:48 |
| mynameistux | I think its a v200 or somthing like taht | 06:48 |
| Mikenolike | yeah kill x again | 06:48 |
| Mikenolike | fun times | 06:48 |
| Mikenolike | well probably just kill the laptop | 06:49 |
| cjs | So, ash (the BSD bourne shell) will execute my .shrc (to set up aliases, etc.) when I, e.g., run a program from vi with ":!blah". But bash ignores my .bashrc in this case. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? | 06:49 |
| therealnanotube | jamesish: ah, i misread some stuff earlier - i thought the nvidia driver was screwing it up, but nv has not been tried... ok | 06:49 |
| kingsofleon | hi | 06:50 |
| smm289 | I have a website with numerous pdfs on it. I would rather have a application that will go to the address and automatically download all pdfs for me, that way I do not have to click on each one. Is there an app out there that can do this | 06:51 |
| jamesish | I'm gonna toddle for a little while, but I'll return. But, before I go. cjs: you sure that the BSD bourne shell is ash? Because ...it's not. | 06:51 |
| cjs | Oh? What is it? | 06:51 |
| adam7 | smm289: down them all, a firefox extension. wget can probably do it too, but I don't know how. | 06:51 |
| jamesish | smm289: the first application I ever wrote in ruby did that. Took me ten minutes to learn enough ruby to write it. | 06:51 |
| mokz | hi all, i need to update my pidgin, what version should i download ? for windows, for source or ? | 06:51 |
| adam7 | mokz: do they have a .deb? | 06:51 |
| jamesish | cjs: it's actual bourne shell. Genuine real deal. check out ##freebsd and hang with those guys to be yelled at about it. | 06:51 |
| Mikenolike | sigh how do I install a driver in shell.... | 06:52 |
| smm289 | I tried wget and did not seem to work | 06:52 |
| smm289 | down them all hu | 06:52 |
| Mikenolike | I am completely lost | 06:52 |
| smm289 | I will try | 06:52 |
| jamesish | cjs: ##freebsd is awesome, incidentally. Love the channel. | 06:52 |
| cjs | Maybe they're using a different one from NetBSD. | 06:52 |
| Mikenolike | sudo sh /home/username/desktop/file.run? | 06:52 |
| jamesish | mikenolike: it's a .run package. You type in sudo ./<name>.run and it'll take care of itself from there. Assuming you're in the same directory as it. | 06:52 |
| Dr_WiLlIS | smm289, wget has extensive command lineoptions you may need to look at, or find a gui for it.. theres also other web site mirror tools. like htttrack (SP?_ | 06:52 |
| cjs | Looking at the source, there's a file in there called TOUR, which inside it says: "A Tour through Ash" "Copyright 1989 by Kenneth Almquist." | 06:52 |
| mokz | adam7, i dont know ? i just visited their site and there were different versions | 06:53 |
| cjs | I wonder where they got the real one? That's Bell Labs, stuff. | 06:53 |
| therealnanotube | cjs: from "man bash", when it is started in noninteractive mode, it looks for contents of variable "BASH_ENV", and uses that as its rcfile. check your BASH_ENV variable. | 06:53 |
| cjs | Ah! | 06:53 |
| cjs | Yet another thing that needs a name change. *Sigh*. | 06:53 |
| adam7 | mokz: can you compile stuff? if you can, use the source. Otherwise, you need to find a debian package. There is one in the intrepid repos, and getdeb.net has one. | 06:53 |
| mokz | debian = translator or emulator ? | 06:54 |
| therealnanotube | cjs: man to the rescue again. :) | 06:54 |
| therealnanotube | smm289: use wget with "-r" option | 06:54 |
| adam7 | mokz: Debian is a Linux distro? | 06:55 |
| therealnanotube | kingsofleon: sup? :) | 06:55 |
| cjs | Weird, I am setting BASH_ENV. | 06:55 |
| cjs | Or I'm not, though I should be. Hm. | 06:56 |
| kongove | hello | 06:56 |
| therealnanotube | kongove: hi | 06:56 |
| cjs | Hm. Turns out that $BASH_VERSION is not set when .profile is run. Weird. | 06:56 |
| mokz | hmmm i'm newby in ubuntu and other unix systems, i downloaded pidgin for source (cause there was no one for linux)... how can i install it ? or how can i compile it ? (command gcc works only with *.c *cpp or ?) | 06:57 |
| siimo | hi, anyone know if microsoft wireless desktop 700 will work on linux? i need to get me wireless kdb + mouse | 06:57 |

| adam7 | mokz: it's a lot easier just to grab a .deb for it | 06:57 |
| mokz | no, i have 7 | 06:58 |
| adam7 | mokz: 7.10 or 7.04? | 06:58 |
| mokz | think 7,10 where can i see it ? | 06:58 |
| adam7 | mokz: cat /etc/issue (run that in a terminal) | 06:59 |
| Mikenolike | ooooooooooooooook | 06:59 |
| Mikenolike | I failed | 06:59 |
| mokz | 7.10 | 06:59 |
| adam7 | siimo: if it's just a normal usb mouse and keyboard, it should. it's possible not all features will work, but it should type and point | 07:00 |
| siimo | adam7: well these things have a RF receiver that plugs into USB. no sepraate connectors for kbd and mouse | 07:01 |
| adam7 | siimo: the easiest way to tell is to plug it in, but if you can't do that, find the exact model number and google it. I have something similar from Logitech that works perfectly. | 07:02 |
| mokz | if i download .deb file, what should i do next ? | 07:02 |
| tirilin | hello everyone! help! y have wifi problems with the 2.6.24-21 kernel!!! please help | 07:02 |

| adam7 | mokz: well, what are you running? | 07:06 |

| Gizmo | therealnanotube: I'm using it to listen to the analog radio stations on my linux box :) | 07:12 |
| adam7 | mokz: you can try it, though. Just download them all | 07:12 |
| Gizmo | therealnanotube: and stream the stations over the net | 07:13 |
| jim_p | mokz: download them all and install libpurple then pidgin-data then pidgin | 07:13 |

| Polygon89 | GNUix, NetworkManager 0.7 as included in Ubuntu 8.10 Beta is not compatible with static network configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. New installations are not affected by this issue because NetworkManager will manage all interfaces by default.

| cjs | Not my "env"; the "ENV" environment variable. It's set explicitly by me in my .profile. | 07:32 |

| GNUix | diabolix: sorry, didn't see your question, I'm behind a custom built router yes. I have no DHCP server on my LAN and don't want one either. | 07:34 |

| Polygon89 | cjs, you can either compile pidgin or get it from getdeb.net | 07:46 |
| jamesish | j8oor: when other folks are getting the hardware to work, then it's not. You're just not setting the BIOS up as per other folks' discoveries. But that's okay, you don't HAVE to use ubuntu. | 07:46 |
| cjs | getdeb.net is the place to go for all of the latest stuff? | 07:46 |
| Polygon89 | cjs, only two ways to get it without upgrading to intrepid | 07:46 |
| jamesish | cjs: Might be a nice idea to install from source. Flex the ol' skkills. | 07:47 |
| Polygon89 | cjs, yeah, but then the debs are not made by offical people, so they *might* cause problems havent for me though. | 07:47 |

| cjs | But speaking of installing from source, is there some way to tell this thing "just install all of the g*d d**m -dev packages already?" | 07:48 |
| Polygon89 | jamesish, look at the offical ubuntu version (pidgin > about) and look at all the options it comes compiled with =) | 07:48 |

| diabolix | cjs, i guess its less annoying than compiling dependancies yourself. | 07:53 |
| etag | :S | 07:53 |
| diabolix | cjs, arch linux is the only distro i know of that does what your asking. | 07:54 |
| cjs | I'm kinda tempted by it, actually. | 07:54 |
| jp91 | i'm going to go blind | 07:54 |
| cjs | But I've now put something like 30 hours into this changeover from NetBSD.... | 07:54 |
| outbackwifi | jp91: whats the issue | 07:54 |
| diabolix | slackware includes all headers, but there is no dependancy resolution. | 07:54 |
| cjs | (Though, to be sure, most of it was learning to deal with Gnome.) | 07:54 |
| jamesish | cjs: I've never used NetBSD. Got stuck on FreeBSD. How's pkg src for managing dependencies? | 07:55 |
| jp91 | outbackwifi, my screen is really blurry like i need a driver or the hz are wrong | 07:55 |
| cjs | pkgsrc is pretty damn good, in that respect. | 07:55 |
| cjs | In many respects, actually. | 07:55 |
| diabolix | cjs, oh, if your a bsd guy you should just use pkgsrc on top of slackware. | 07:55 |
| jamesish | cjs: and are there automated tools for doing an upgrade once your ports tree is updated? FreeBSD has portmaster and portupgrade, which both rule. | 07:56 |
| parfu | j debian# | 07:56 |
| cjs | jamesish, Yes, of various sorts. | 07:56 |
| cjs | I have two basic issues with pkgsrc, one inherent, one just due to the way they build binary packages. | 07:56 |
| outbackwifi | jp91: can you shift to a lower resolution using ctl+alt+- | 07:56 |
| cjs | Inherently, the damn thing is written as some 12,000 lines of make. Ouch. | 07:56 |
| jamesish | Really? | 07:56 |
| cjs | Yup. | 07:57 |
| jamesish | FreeBSD has the makefiles distributed throughout the ports tree; I just assumed it worked similarly. | 07:57 |
| jp91 | outback yes, now i can only see a tiny portion of the screen | 07:57 |
| cjs | Oh, they are distributed through out the tree, except for a bunch of included stuff. I'm sure FreeBSD is pretty much the same.) | 07:57 |
| jp91 | like i'm zoomed in, but it looks clear | 07:57 |
| outbackwifi | jp91: keep doing that till you get to a resolution that suits | 07:57 |
| jamesish | Ah, I know what you're talking about, yeah. Included variables and the like are set up centrally for the ports tree, yeah. | 07:58 |
| ingsoc | Hey | 07:58 |
| outbackwifi | !hi|ingsoc | 07:58 |
| ubottu | ingsoc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 07:58 |
| cjs | Anyway, BSD folks (except for me) like make, and like to use it fairly badly. I tried to start fixing this around '96, when I joined the NetBSD project, and it will never happen for political reasons. | 07:58 |
| cjs | jamesish, More than just that. Have a look at what's probably in the "mk" directory off the top level of the tree. | 07:58 |
| jamesish | Is your real name Theo De Raadt? ;) | 07:58 |
| ingsoc | ... XD any one care to lend ahand with some sound card issues? been going at it for last 14 hours and fianly gave in to ask for some help | 07:59 |
| outbackwifi | more likely curt sampson | 07:59 |
| jp91 | outbackwifi, i went through all the resolutions and some of them are really clear but they are all still zoomed in | 07:59 |
| cjs | Anyway, the other issue, that's anything with the 'standard' binary builds, is that all config files go into /usr/pkg/etc. So you upgrade bind, and your config moves from /etc to /usr/pkg/etc. Then you upgrade NetBSD, upgarding bind again (and removing the package), and your config moves back to /etc. Very annoying. | 07:59 |
| outbackwifi | ingsoc: go ahead we'll all try | 07:59 |
| cjs | But not everything does this; ssh does not, for example. | 07:59 |
| cjs | Yes, Curt Sampson. | 07:59 |
| jamesish | You can't pin it? | 07:59 |
| cjs | I've had dealing with theo, though. :-) | 07:59 |
| ingsoc | XD thanks | 08:00 |
| jp91 | outbackwifi, the screen moves and follows my mouse when i go to the edge | 08:00 |
| cjs | Well, I do, but you have to rebuild from source. So I can't use the standard binaries. Not such a huge deal now that I have a custom build setup I use for packages for all my servers, but stil.... | 08:00 |
| ingsoc | Ive gone thorugh the comprihenive sound guide and then some. and still cant seem to get my soudn card working | 08:00 |
| ingsoc | I followed all instructions to the T and every thing seems to go as they say but still yet. | 08:01 |
| cjs | Anyway, for desktop stuff, I just figured I wanted Flash and Skype and all that stuff working without too many hassles, so here I am. | 08:01 |
| ingsoc | I cant get any alsamixer or any type of mixers to open | 08:01 |
| ingsoc | 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) | 08:02 |
| ingsoc | Subsystem: nVidia Corporation A8N-VM CSM Mainboard | 08:02 |

| ingsoc | Capabilities: <access denied> | 08:02 |
| jamesish | K\I've been trying to work out if there's a good way to ask a piece of source what libraries it will need to update. If I can work that out, I'm pretty sure I can make a nice build tool that'll let an abitrary system build software for another abitrary system. | 08:02 |
| jp91 | i need an intel driver i think | 08:02 |
| chilli00 | back | 08:02 |
| apinunt | Disregard earlier question, I think I've determined the problem. | 08:03 |
| ingsoc | sp91: you resolution and all that good stuff right? | 08:03 |
| ingsoc | jp91* | 08:03 |
| outbackwifi | jp91: what driver is your xorg.conf using right now? | 08:04 |
| jp91 | ingsoc i have the resolution set to the native resolution for the monitor | 08:04 |
| chilli00 | i got it guys | 08:04 |
| jp91 | outbackwifi what's the command to show me that | 08:05 |
| outbackwifi | jp91: you can use gedit to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or if you prefer cli, vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf) | 08:05 |
| cjs | So does getdeb.net do a "repository" that one can add to one's local package manager? | 08:06 |
| ingsoc | gksudo displayconfig-gtk i jkut had some monitor issues .. not sure if it will help but "gksudo displayconfig-gtk" has some cool options in it. | 08:06 |
| legend2440 | chilli00: its working? | 08:06 |
| chilli00 | yes | 08:06 |
| jp91 | Section "Device" | 08:06 |
| jp91 | Identifier"Configured Video Device" | 08:06 |
| chilli00 | thanks mate | 08:06 |
| legend2440 | ok | 08:06 |
| chilli00 | so will my compiz still work? | 08:06 |
| jp91 | Section "Monitor" Identifier"Configured Monitor" | 08:06 |
| outbackwifi | ingsoc: i wouldnt use displayconfig-gtk, it really messed up my xorg when i tried to use it for dual monitors; in fact its listed on the xrandr site | 08:06 |
| kongove | Is there anybody use python? | 08:07 |
| chilli00 | i do kongove | 08:07 |

| jp91 | outbackwifi my xorg.conf file says Section "Device" | 08:09 |

| chilli00 | australia | 08:09 |
| bradonhead | desktop version, it does not have ssh server | 08:10 |
| outbackwifi | jp91: if your card is an intel (like mine is) you can insert a line called Driver "intel" | 08:10 |
| chilli00 | kongove: im from Australia | 08:11 |
| mokz | how can i add russian print to pidgin ? | 08:11 |
| jp91 | outbackwifi just put Driver "intel" in there somewhere? | 08:11 |
| === gord__ is now known as drog | ||

| lundh | This is getting rediculis. I got the ubuntu installer booting using unetbootin but now it wont detect my hard drives, which even debian lenny does | 08:11 |
| ingsoc | ... *dance* no input on sound card? | 08:12 |
| outbackwifi | ingsoc: what does alsamixer tell you? | 08:12 |
| ingsoc | just wont open | 08:12 |
| ingsoc | its there | 08:13 |
| outbackwifi | ingsoc: it must be spitting out some error :0 | 08:13 |
| ingsoc | i hit alt+f2 to try open "alsamixer" and it just acts like i never did any thing. | 08:13 |
| ingsoc | try it in applications same shindig | 08:13 |
| outbackwifi | ingsoc: can you do it inside a terminal? | 08:14 |
| extor | So how is the new vmware 6.5, anyone in love with it yet? | 08:14 |
| ingsoc | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.. | 08:15 |
| firestorm | Hi there. Running gnome and want to know how I can start an application (eg mythfrontend) automatically in the 2nd workspace instead of the current/default workspace? | 08:15 |
| ingsoc | Looked through forums and i belive some one was mentioning adding a line or two when installing the alsa packaged, but it came installed already | 08:16 |
| Nallep | firestorm you can look into devilspie | 08:17 |
| Nallep | !devilspie | firestorm | 08:18 |
| ubottu | firestorm: devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning. Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie | 08:18 |
| legend2440 | ingsoc: alsamixer is included in alsa-utils package do you have it installed? | 08:18 |
| firestorm | Nallep: excellent I am bringing down the DEB now to check it out | 08:18 |
| ingsoc | I got all the alsa packages installed | 08:18 |
| firestorm | Nallep: wow, s-expressions...haven't seen those since my lisp AI days! | 08:19 |
| ingsoc | Would that cause any conflics? | 08:19 |
| jp91 | i saved that and restarted and ubuntu went into low graphics mode | 08:19 |
| Nallep | firestorm: ya, it takes some scripting, but you can really set up all your windows automagically any way you want | 08:19 |
| ingsoc | gaim | 08:20 |
| jp91 | i can't get a resolution over 640 x 480 now but at least it's not blurry right now ugh my brain | 08:20 |

| K-4U | good morning, anyone here who can tell me what the system requirements are of the Kubuntu KDE4 8.04? | 08:22 |
| ikonia | "modern" cpu, 256 ram | 08:22 |
| drog | K-4U, what system are you running? | 08:22 |
| K-4U | drog: Pentium 2, 266 Mhz, 192 MB ram | 08:22 |
| ikonia | K-4U: thats official, but to be usable, I think you'd be looking at a solid video card with supported drivers and 512 ram | 08:22 |
| ikonia | K-4U: thats going to be lacking | 08:23 |
| K-4U | im thinking about using openbox as a window manager, but i need a good base | 08:23 |
| K-4U | (no, i do not want to try DSL) | 08:23 |
| ikonia | K-4U: your lacking ram for ubuntu modern releases to be honest | 08:23 |
| drog | K-4U, I'm trashing 2 systems that are exponentially better, if you want to swing by and pick them up I'd be more than happy to donate adequate hardware to your cause | 08:23 |
| maco | K-4U: you just described my debian system | 08:24 |
| drog | K-4U, you're lacking cpu power and ram for modern software in general | 08:24 |
| Stupendoussteve | drog, modern software runs fine on 233MHz... just depends what you define as modern | 08:24 |
| K-4U | drog: i already had Xubuntu 8.04 running, with openbox as WM | 08:25 |
| maco | K-4U: i have debian etch (a bit lighter than ubuntu) with enlightenment 17 that i compiled for it | 08:25 |
| Stupendoussteve | K-4U, why change? It will not like KDE much | 08:25 |
| maco | K-4U: on the same hardware | 08:25 |
| ingsoc | outbackwifi ? | 08:25 |
| bustaplz | Anyone know any good open source PDF editors? | 08:26 |
| drog | K-4U, I will seriously give you, free of charge, a 1.8Ghz athlonxp on an a7v8x with roughly 1.5GB ram | 08:26 |
| ikonia | drog: he's in a different country | 08:26 |
| ingsoc | drog XD almost better then my machine | 08:26 |
| Stupendoussteve | Holy crap that's better than my other system | 08:26 |
| drog | why do you people have such horrid hardware? | 08:27 |
| Stupendoussteve | Which is forced to run icemw | 08:27 |
| ingsoc | Broke | 08:27 |
| K-4U | drog: yes, i'm from another country, but thnx for the offer ;) | 08:27 |
| ingsoc | Spend all my money on my offroading machine XD | 08:27 |
| Stupendoussteve | poor 24mb ram | 08:27 |
| drog | I'm running a c2d E6300 @ 2.8Ghz w/ 4gb ram and I'm still behind the times | 08:27 |
| ingsoc | 1.2gig ram XD | 08:27 |
| tobiasu | new hardware - the reason why ubuntu is so ugly and bloated | 08:28 |
| ingsoc | sopose i should fill in thoes other 2 bays | 08:28 |
| drog | tobiasu, old hardware - the reason why people think software is bloated | 08:28 |
| ikonia | gents, lets not discuss this | 08:28 |
| drog | if you want less features, use fluxbox or openbox or icewm or xfce | 08:29 |
| ingsoc | Seriously give any one here a dollar if they find the coprate to my no sound issue XD | 08:29 |
| ingsoc | ...Well a us dollar aint worth much any more but still..... | 08:29 |
| dexter | jsp is the best | 08:29 |
| Stupendoussteve | Yeah by the time we get it it'll be worth 50 cents | 08:29 |
| ingsoc | Thiunk you can get it done in a minut? | 08:29 |
| ingsoc | hehehe hats of to you | 08:30 |
| sorsis | if maxmimum packet size is tweaked too high, does that allos DoS? | 08:30 |

| Greger | Hi, I got a new computer yesterday (new for me) | 08:42 |
| jp91 | sorsis: it seems like the refresh rate is wrong but it only gives me one option and it says monitor unknown | 08:42 |
| sorsis | jp91: your problem seems quite surreal since afaik old screens should get blurry from the sides and be quite sharp from the midle. | 08:42 |
| ziroday | indian_munnda: the time it takes depends on variety of factors and is nearly impossible to calculate, your question will not be answered | 08:42 |
| Greger | But it's a graphic-card in the computer | 08:42 |
| Greger | does it work with linux? | 08:42 |
| ziroday | Greger: what model is it? | 08:42 |
| sorsis | Greger: you mean integrated GPU? | 08:43 |
| ikonia | indian_munnda: don't use caps lock, we don't need to see captial letters to read | 08:43 |
| knut_ | ikonia: can u assist me a lil because im trying to edit the fstab by gedit.... | 08:43 |
| ikonia | knut_: what do you want to do ? | 08:43 |
| indian_munnda | ikonia: it stopped and said that there is some error | 08:43 |
| jp91 | sorsis i don't think the driver ubuntu is using for this computer is the right one | 08:43 |
| Greger | ziroday, I dont know. It's win xp on | 08:43 |
| ikonia | indian_munnda: ok, so we need to know the error | 08:43 |
| knut_ | ikonia: i want to add my ntfs drives to autmatically mounted | 08:43 |
| ikonia | knut_: ok, that should be quite straight forward | 08:43 |
| unitedpotsmokers | thanks ziroday it is work..! | 08:44 |
| ziroday | Greger: well we need to know what type of graphics card it is to check :), you can try out the livecd and see if it has any issues | 08:44 |
| Greger | Zambezi: dxdiag says: Intel(R) 82815 Graphics Controller | 08:44 |

| newlife | Mez: Running Gnome in Hardy - Tried it before but had allot issues with it - Better for KDE I believe. Thanks | 08:53 |
| reeeh2000 | hey, i've been losing my feed when playing flash movies recently, any ideas? | 08:54 |
| Mez | newlife: it works well inb Gnome too... I'm (currently, due to dislike of KDE4) running gnome myself... no issues at all | 08:54 |
| gandalfcome | Mez: to compete with windows. these big opensource packages should be added into ubuntu a few days later, even if they are upstream. My GF says, on windows I could just download and install the new version and, its hard to compete with that :D. Isn't it possible to make a temporary solution until the new version comes out? | 08:54 |
| ikonia | gandalfcome: don't talk nonsense | 08:55 |
| ziroday | reeeh2000: what do you mean by feed? | 08:55 |
| cjs | Sheesh; Ubuntu sure stores a lot of crap in one's home dir. I'm going to have to stop backingn it up. | 08:55 |
| gandalfcome | ikonia: what? | 08:55 |
| rdw200169 | that's right, folks, foobar2000 works in ubuntu | 08:55 |
| reeeh2000 | ziroday, the download stream | 08:55 |
| ikonia | cjs: such as ? | 08:55 |
| aualin | :) | 08:56 |
| rdw200169 | and it smacks the snot out of amarok, exaile, xmms, etc... | 08:56 |
| ziroday | reeeh2000: that is most probably an issue with either your internet connection or the server on the other end | 08:56 |
| Mez | gandalfcome: create a menu link for what you've installed? | 08:56 |

| ziroday | reeeh2000: you mean the video is still loading? | 08:56 |
| ingsoc | Try this again. I have no sound.... Ubuntu detects that I have a soudn card but wont list it as installed. I belive that the ALSA drivers are up-to-date and installed correctly. When I try to open mixer(gstreamr) tells me I dont have right plugins/ sound card not configured. alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 08:56 |

| ziroday | reeeh2000: and refuses to resume? | 08:57 |
| reeeh2000 | ziroday: but everything else still goes | 08:57 |

| reeeh2000 | ziroday: yeah, i have to refresh to restart | 08:57 |
| ziroday | reeeh2000: which video are you trying to watch? Also what version of flash do you have? | 08:57 |
| Mez | newlife: what kind of problems? | 08:57 |
| rdw200169 | ziroday: foobar2000 is a music player | 08:57 |
| cjs | Hm. Firefox cache. Firefox urlclassifier3.sqlite. Etc. Etc. | 08:57 |
| === Adler is now known as HB9TWF | ||
| ikonia | cjs: so thats not ubuntu - thats filefox | 08:58 |
| reeeh2000 | ziroday: any flash video on the web does it, including sites like youtube and adultswim | 08:58 |
| cjs | My home dir, which has about 15 MB of "my stuff" in it (including a lot of configuration I keep in subversion) is 165 MB. | 08:58 |
| rdw200169 | ziroday; i was referring to newlife 's convo | 08:58 |
| Mez | ikonia: s/l/r/ | 08:58 |
| ziroday | reeeh2000: have you recently updated your flash version? | 08:58 |
| reeeh2000 | ziroday: i think i have the non-free fl;ash | 08:58 |
| cjs | ikonia, you can say that about anything: "It's not ubuntu; it's gnome." or whatever. | 08:58 |
| reeeh2000 | ziroday: unless it was a ubuntu update, no | 08:59 |
| cjs | The point is, it seems that in the general case, when I use Ubuntu, I can expect to have a lot of stuff that one doesn't really want to back up in my home dir. | 08:59 |
| ikonia | cjs: firefox would store it's information such as cache in your home directory on linux/windows/mac, so it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 08:59 |
| Mez | cjs: just dont backup dotfiles/folders | 08:59 |
| cjs | Formally, I always just backed up the whole thing daily. Now, I think I probably don't want to do that. | 09:00 |
| Mez | Where would you think user settings should be stored | 09:00 |
| Mez | cjs: and backing up config is VERY useful | 09:00 |
| gandalfcome | Mez: thats what I'm going to do, but this only works if people know that it installs in /opt/.... and that it doesnt just create links. I'm suggesting making it easier for newbies to get new opensource software packages like openoffice. I guess that is one of the widest used opensource packages. well anyway, not having to have a virus scanner and a quick os will hopefully convince her to stay on ubuntu :D | 09:01 |
| cjs | Mez, indeed. Keeping it in revision control is even more useful. | 09:01 |
| ikonia | !offtopic | gandalfcome | 09:01 |
| ubottu | gandalfcome: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:01 |
| newlife | Mez: Might try it again - I can't recall issues I had as of now - Maybe was missing some dependencies - not sure - might reinstall again - this is a new install of Hardy - I blew up my last Hardy I was using since it came out with the final version. Had allot junk installed - this is going to be a simpler install this time, if know what I mean.... | 09:01 |
| gandalfcome | ikonia: its not offtopic | 09:01 |
| z0r | anyone here tried to setup mutt with gmail? | 09:01 |
| cjs | And actually, a backup containing all one's config, and cache files, and all sorts of other random junk is less useful; it makes things harder to sort out. | 09:01 |
| ikonia | gandalfcome: it is | 09:01 |
| Mez | gandalfcome: yeah, that's the fault of the OOo packagers though. This is why it takes time for ubuntu - quality control. We only opackage stable stuff | 09:02 |
| gandalfcome | ikonia: no. and i'm not talking to you but to mez. | 09:02 |
| ikonia | gandalfcome: your talking to the channel about it - it's offtopic | 09:02 |
| cjs | Anyway, everybody's real quiet over on the firefox channel; does anybody here have any thoughts on how I can get my firefox bookmarks into revision control? I used to just keep a cleaned-up version of bookmarks.html in subversion. | 09:03 |
| cjs | Well, and other parts of firefox config, too, ideally. | 09:03 |
| Oric | any vim plugin for 'html"? | 09:03 |
| Mez | cjs: FF doesnt use a .html file anymore. It uses sqlite | 09:03 |
| cjs | Right. | 09:03 |
| cjs | Hm. Maybe I can dump that db, filter out the history, and keep only the bookmarks? | 09:04 |
| gandalfcome | Mez: I didnt mean including betas or rcs, im talking about the final release (the 13th of oct one). So if OOo would make a ubuntu package you would include it or not? | 09:04 |
| gandalfcome | Mez: Or is it olicy to compile it from source? | 09:05 |
| velko | z0r, what do you mean by that? mutt does not handle receiving/sending of mail directly. it's just a mail reader/composer/organizer | 09:05 |
| newlife | ziroday: Got the LastFM aptget - looks pretty good - thanks for tip..... | 09:05 |
| ikonia | gandalfcome: ubuntu developers will package the software they believe it stable for you | 09:05 |
| Mez | gandalfcome: It's policy for it to be compiled from source on our buildds... so a debian packager or an ubuntu packager has to make a package, ubuntu specific patches have to be applied, etc etc. PLUS, intrepid is near release. We froze a month ago. Please, feel free to go consult the developer documentation | 09:06 |
| ziroday | newlife: have fun :) | 09:06 |
| Mez | actually, probably more than a month ago | 09:06 |
| gandalfcome | Mez: will openoffice 3 come on hardy? after intrepids release? | 09:07 |
| jp91 | could someone help me fix my blurry resolution problem | 09:07 |
| newlife | ziroday: Yup - thats what ubuntu is all about - lots of new adventures - computing is fun again. | 09:07 |
| Mez | gandalfcome: hardy is before intrepid. Only security updates are applied to older versions of ubuntu | 09:07 |
| Mez | gandalfcome: we actually froze back in june... | 09:08 |
| sorsis | gandalfcome: prove security problems in hardys open office and you might get open office 3 to it | 09:08 |
| gandalfcome | sorsis: I guess thats a way :D | 09:08 |

| tzd | hey guys and girls! A friend of mine just installed ubuntu and he's wondering whether it's possible to change "locale settings" in a gui instead of changing directly in cfg files? Also, does ubuntu 8.04 comes with a default irc client please? | 09:20 |
| redDEAD | alanbshepard77, scroll sideway is usually program specific | 09:20 |
| hharvey | they are mpg files | 09:20 |
| hharvey | ziroday: ^ | 09:20 |
| ziroday | tzd: the default irc client is pidgin | 09:20 |
| jp91 | anyone? doesn't (sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) usually have options to configure the video resolution, etc. | 09:20 |
| ikonia | jp91: no | 09:20 |
| ikonia | jp91: it's dynamic now | 09:21 |
| ziroday | tzd: you can change locale in System > Administration > Language | 09:21 |
| ziroday | hharvey: okay, have you installed the .mpg codec? | 09:21 |
| tab_shift | jp91: xrandr is the prefererd way now | 09:21 |
| hharvey | ziroday: I dont think so, I never needed a codec before | 09:21 |
| wgrant | jp91: Does System->Preferences->Screen Resolution not give the right options? | 09:21 |
| tzd | ziroday: i see... any plans on implementing a dedicated irc client? | 09:22 |
| ziroday | tzd: no | 09:22 |
| jp91 | wgrant: everything is blurry unless i have it on 800 x 600 | 09:22 |
| alanbshepard77 | redDEAD: Well the touchpad now side scrolls but my new optical mouse won't/can't do it. The mouse does have the 4 way scroll feature | 09:22 |
| tzd | ziroday: and that doesn't just change the language? It also changes currency etc? | 09:22 |

| ziroday | hharvey: try install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras and see if it works after that | 09:23 |
| jelle | When installing java, do you need the add the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin to the $PATH or is this not nessecary? | 09:23 |
| ziroday | tzd: correct | 09:23 |
| gidna | nobody can help me | 09:23 |

| Ujjwol | which ubuntu like [PC (Intel x86) desktop CD] or [64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD] shall i download to get 64-bit ubuntu to run under core 2 duo | 09:24 |
| mgolisch | audifahrer: maybe with the enxt release | 09:24 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: what was your problem again? | 09:24 |
| ziroday | tzd: no problem. have fun! | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Ujjwol: amd64 | 09:24 |
| jelle | ikonia, where does it do that? I'm setting my env vars in the /etc/environment file | 09:24 |
| wgrant | audifahrer: Ubuntu 8.10 will have cairomm 1.6.4 | 09:24 |
| ikonia | jelle: when you apt-get/synaptic the package it should set it up with symlinks | 09:24 |
| gidna | the sound level is low respect the usual.. but the barr is at the maximum | 09:24 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: can you explain more? | 09:25 |
| audifahrer | wgrant: is there an easy way to replace 1.4.2 with 1.4.4 without installing it over the package from source | 09:25 |
| audifahrer | ? | 09:25 |
| tzd | anyone with a good gui html website creator please? Had one before but can't remember what it was called. Pretty simple program but perfect for my needs. | 09:25 |
| jelle | ikonia, the softlinks are ok, but the vars aren't ok, i can call java from my terminal when I add the bin folder from java to the path, else it cannot find it | 09:25 |
| audifahrer | tzd: nvc | 09:25 |
| wgrant | audifahrer: No. Why do you need it? | 09:25 |
| ziroday | tzd: kompozer? | 09:25 |
| tzd | kompozer!!! yes you saved me once again ziroday :D | 09:26 |
| Ujjwol | ikonai, even for intel 64 -bit | 09:26 |

| ikonia | Ujjwol: yes | 09:26 |
| Ujjwol | r u sure | 09:26 |
| ikonia | jelle: that's quite worrying | 09:26 |
| ikonia | Ujjwol: yes | 09:26 |
| audifahrer | tzd: hm, the name was similar, but maybe not nvc | 09:26 |
| Ujjwol | ok | 09:26 |
| ikonia | jelle: look at /etc/alternatives and look at what's setup for java | 09:26 |

| rdw200169 | gidna: or has it always been this way? | 09:27 |
| gidna | I don't see anymore the update icon.. | 09:27 |
| wgrant | langleyo: Please repeat your question less often. | 09:27 |
| hharvey | ziroday: k ty my problem has been solved...one more question...does my dvd drive need a driver in order for it to recognize my dvds | 09:27 |
| ikonia | Anurag no | 09:27 |
| gidna | No since yestarday | 09:27 |
| audifahrer | tzd: nvu was the name | 09:27 |
| audifahrer | wgrant: mapnik from SVN | 09:27 |
| ziroday | hharvey: yes its in the package libdvdcss2 | 09:27 |
| jelle | ikonia, I think i found the root of my problem there | 09:28 |
| velko | gidna, you may try to bring up the mixer interface (right click on the volume control) and make sure the channels "master" _and_ "pcm" are set to maximum | 09:28 |
| ziroday | !dvd > hharvey | 09:28 |
| ubottu | hharvey, please see my private message | 09:28 |
| tzd | audifahrer: ah ok, well i've found the program i was using (kompozer) but thanks anyway! | 09:28 |
| jelle | ikonia, the softlink is pointing at the wrong folder | 09:28 |
| rdw200169 | velko, good call | 09:28 |
| ikonia | jelle: there we go | 09:28 |
| MrD1 | Hi and good morning to every one. A few questions if you dont mind. I have ubuntu 8.04 will it update to the new version 8.10 on its own when its stable. or do i have to reinstall ubuntu again, also if i download 8.10 now on a other computer when its stable will it update as well and last question sorry, i installed 8.04 on a pc and after boot it has starange lines all over the screen lots of questions sorry | 09:28 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: the master volume (or PCM volume) might be low | 09:28 |
| ziroday | hharvey: you might wnat to read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats | 09:28 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: they're usually related | 09:28 |
| jelle | ikonia, what does the alternatives folder do exactly? | 09:28 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: and the volume applet on the taskbar will only adjust one of them | 09:29 |
| gidna | at Sound preferences? | 09:29 |
| ikonia | jelle: map versions to commands eg: you could have 4 vesions of java installed, this tells you which to use, or if you have sendmail/postfix/exim installed it will say which mta to use | 09:29 |
| defrysk | doubleclick the volume applet to fix it | 09:29 |
| ziroday | MrD1: answer to your first few is that yes, when the new release of ubuntu comes out you can update to it | 09:29 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: yeah, just double click the speaker icon on the taskbar | 09:29 |
| MrD1 | ziroday, thank you | 09:30 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: and make sure all the appropriate volume levels are up | 09:30 |
| jelle | ikonia, that makes it even more clear why it failed, netbeans suddenly added java5 to my system, and probably changed it there | 09:30 |
| jp91 | how come displayconfig-gtk wont save my screen setting? | 09:30 |
| jelle | ikonia, then I removed the java5 but I did not changed it there | 09:30 |

| tab_shift | jp91: did you sacrifice the live animal and do the rain dance as it says in the manual ? | 09:31 |
| a1len | One last thing before I do this. On the tutorials that I read it doesn't say anything about what to do with the vista partition after you back it up onto a cd. Is it safe to just delete the backup saved on the partition altogether? | 09:31 |
| jelle | ikonia, thanks | 09:31 |
| gidna | look here http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotma1.png | 09:32 |
| jp91 | i've been working on this for almost 8 hours and my eyes are dying | 09:32 |
| gidna | it seems to be at the maximum | 09:32 |
| jp91 | if it were as simple as a sacrifice and a rain dance i would be done | 09:32 |
| tab_shift | jp91: :-) | 09:32 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: go to Edit and click all the options | 09:33 |
| tab_shift | jp91: put the settings in xorg.conf | 09:33 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: in preferences | 09:33 |
| tab_shift | jp91: ....then sacrifice , I know its a newbie mistake | 09:33 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: and thanks for the Screenshot; makes things easy! | 09:34 |
| Anurag | FEDORA is far more better than ubuntu | 09:34 |
| gidna | ok | 09:34 |
| defrysk | far more better is poor englsh | 09:34 |

| tab_shift | Anurag: just bend over...so we can get this over with | 09:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Anurag, goodie for you.. | 09:35 |
| gidna | now it's ok | 09:35 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: is everything fixed??? | 09:35 |
| jp91 | tab_shift: in xorg.conf it's all there.. still at the login screen i can only see part of the screen area, it looks zoomed in, until i log in and the resolution is right but it's all blurry, ugh | 09:35 |
| gidna | yes thank you | 09:35 |
| rdw200169 | gidna: excellent! | 09:35 |

| pabix | Hello! I just installed a fresh Hardy and gnome-keyboard-properties is not functioning well; I can add new kbd layouts BUT they are uneffective, ie not taken in account | 09:37 |
| tab_shift | jp91: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg | 09:38 |
| audifahrer | lepine: sure, but where is the version number in the source package. There is only one source package with number 1.4.2 | 09:39 |
| jp91 | tab_shift: so many times, it doesn't give me any options to configure the graphics | 09:39 |
| devslashnull | what can i safely delete to save space on my file system | 09:40 |
| jp91 | tab_shift: except for the first question (Use kernel framebuffer device interface?) | 09:40 |
| tab_shift | jp91: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg , try it with -plow now | 09:40 |
| jp91 | tab_shift: the rest of the questions are mostly about the keyboard.. is that normal? | 09:40 |
| jp91 | tab_shift: i tried that and it's still the same, a whole lot of questions about configuring the keyboard | 09:41 |
| devslashnull | any recommendations | 09:41 |
| tab_shift | jp91: output of xrandr -q | 09:42 |
| velko | devslashnull, you better first find out what is eating your space. use something like baobab for example to pinpoint the space eaters and after that decide what to remove | 09:42 |
| devslashnull | well i am using an eeepc so i only have 4GB of total space and i am at 87% disk used | 09:43 |
| Stupendoussteve | devslashnull, found the culpret. It's this "Ubuntu" thing | 09:43 |

| rdw200169 | Newhoa: and edit away, that's kinda the point to WIki's | 09:55 |

| ikonia | sysk: you shouldn't need to | 09:59 |
| defrysk | cjs: unselect is in sessions | 09:59 |
| velko | devslashnull, if you don't compile the kernel or kernel modules you can deinstall the kernel source packages (which installed these folders) | 09:59 |
| cjs | Wow, that's pretty hash. (The apt-get remove, I mean.) | 09:59 |

| jayan | any idea about configuring Exchange 2007 with Evolution | 10:01 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: unless you do a lot of wireless roaming, it's kinda pointless | 10:01 |
| tab_shift | jp91: XORG releases are very far stretched, you'll need to try the bete/testing version LIVEcd , copy the image to a usb drive etc | 10:01 |

| cjs | I don't see any obvious setting in the xchat config; is this a gnome thing of some sort? | 10:03 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: that's what i use | 10:03 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: i don't get all the fancy IRC features Xchat has, but it's simple and conservative | 10:04 |
| Nepal | hi | 10:04 |
| Lilinallte | quit | 10:04 |
| velko | devslashnull, if this is the case you can deinstall trough synaptic/apt-get/aptitude the kernel sources or headers. be careful not to remove the kernel image itself though ;-) | 10:04 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: and has worked pretty well thus far | 10:04 |
| devslashnull | velko, where is the kernel image stored | 10:04 |
| velko | devslashnull, /boot | 10:05 |
| devslashnull | velko, oh ok | 10:05 |
| cjs | Well, rather that switching programs, I wouldn't mind just getting rid of the one annoyance. | 10:05 |
| devslashnull | velko i have a 4GB sdhc card and i am moving it to there | 10:05 |
| jayan | tab_shift: i tried to configure using IMAP | 10:05 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: i don't know then... | 10:05 |
| cjs | Pidgin has its own issues. | 10:05 |
| jayan | tab_shift: its giving me connection refused | 10:05 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: try Vim's IRC then ! | 10:06 |
| znik | my trackpad is not working properly.However when i connect an external mouse then the cursor works properly. what should i do? | 10:06 |
| velko | devslashnull, do you know how to use synaptic? my suggestion is to use it for deinstallation instead of randomly deleting folders | 10:06 |
| d0c5i5 | are there any other "start' menu's besides the ubuntu "native" menu and the "vista/xp" clone that are worth looking into? i'm not thrilled with the default ubuntu one, and the vista/xp one is basically a image with links (it's not very modular).... just fishing for ideas on how to make it more relevant | 10:06 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=931 | 10:06 |
| cjs | Switching to and learning a whole new IRC program to fix one small problem seems overkill. | 10:07 |
| cjs | After all, I encounter another small problem there, and I'll just have to switch again. :-/ | 10:07 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: so many options, darn this linux! | 10:07 |
| cjs | I'm thinking that this is probably gnome-related, since it didn't happen to me on my NetBSD+fvwm1 system. | 10:08 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: it could be an obscure gconf optoin | 10:08 |
| rdw200169 | cjs: *option | 10:08 |
| cjs | Yeah. gconf is a whole new world. | 10:09 |
| cjs | I wonder if it was the tray icon or taskbar blinking option? | 10:10 |
| jp91 | how come when i click a link to download an rpm in firefox it tries to open in firefox as a video? this is a new installation | 10:12 |
| defrysk | rp also stands for realplayer | 10:13 |
| defrysk | so it thinks it a realplay file | 10:14 |
| defrysk | jp91: just rightclick it and select save as | 10:14 |
| jp91 | defrysk, i only have save link as | 10:15 |
| karex | HI, PROBLEM: after i close blender, its interface stay on the screen, but when i click it's 'fake'. Any suggestion? | 10:15 |

| Jaguar48h | hi karex | 10:43 |
| karex | Jaguar48h: hi | 10:43 |
| rdw200169 | karex: audacity only does audio | 10:44 |
| |Dreams| | can anyone help me my laptop is suddenly gone amazingl slow even though it was working fine last night | 10:44 |
| falstaff | I can't log into my MySpace home account with Ubuntu 8.04 ... using firefox ... | 10:44 |
| alanbshepard77 | Dr_Willis: Ok I got btnx to work once. I reinstalled it and the config I tried using for one of the buttons worked until I tried to set the config for other buttons. I've tried reinstalling about but no dice | 10:44 |
| cafuego | falstaff: That's good right, not a problem? | 10:45 |
| |Dreams| | lol | 10:45 |
| karex | rdw200169: do you know how to extract sound from ogg-video? | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | alanbshepard77, reinstallingis windows thinking :) sounds like its missconfigured.. if you remove it with the 'purge' option - that would remove all the system configs..but NOT the user configs | 10:45 |
| rdw200169 | karex: reluctantly, no | 10:46 |
| falstaff | cafuego ... no it is not good! I should be able to access my own website! | 10:46 |
| |Dreams| | do you have flash installed | 10:46 |
| alanbshepard77 | Dr_Willis: I never uninstalled I just reran the make lol. I know it seems stupid but when I configured it and tried to restart btnx using the button provided in btnx config it said not installed correctly and thats why I reinstalled. Then it worked, briefly. | 10:47 |
| Jaguar48h | does anyone use programming software for c++ under ubuntu ? | 10:47 |
| |Dreams| | kdevelope is pretty good | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | alanbshepard77, make? oh you installed from source.. | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | alanbshepard77, could be some miss confgiured config now.. | 10:48 |
| mr_lou | What's the fileexplorer in Ubuntu called? | 10:48 |
| Jaguar48h | Hi Dr Willis | 10:48 |
| |Dreams| | nautlius | 10:49 |
| |Dreams| | nautilus | 10:49 |
| |Dreams| | * | 10:49 |
| alanbshepard77 | Dr_Willis: I'm performing a make uninstall now and then I'll try installing the binary packages. | 10:49 |
| falstaff | Mr Lou there are several file manager applications for linux system PC man in system tools is good. | 10:50 |
| cafuego | alanbshepard77: if you do source installs, at the very least run them through `checkinstall'. | 10:51 |
| mr_lou | falstaff: Yea, I could have just looked in the About popup. I just needed to do a sudo nautilus. Being used to thunar from Arch Linux. | 10:51 |
| wers | can i use a gif as a wallpaper?:) | 10:51 |
| alanbshepard77 | cafuego: Thanks for the suggestion but to be honest I have no idea what that is :-/ | 10:52 |
| falstaff | Mr lou also if you go to places you can use the folder browser to move file from folder to folder. | 10:52 |
| cafuego | alanbshepard77: It records what 'make install' does and packagaes the installed files into a .deb for easy management. | 10:54 |
| falstaff | but why can't get myspace to recognise my username and password?? | 10:54 |
| alanbshepard77 | cafuego: oh nice, sounds like something I need to really pay attention to, thanks. | 10:55 |

| WildSoft | When installing Ubuntu, you get the option to change the size of your patition for dual-boot. This fails for some reason and gives me an error message. Sizechange failed. | 11:13 |
| klimy | magnetron: somehow file just tells me that my file is a tex file. actually i knew that ;) | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Fueled: that error is normally (not normally) associated with the windows partition not being defragged/chkdisked before partitioning for the ubuntu install | 11:13 |

| ikonia | rockyrock: it shows warnings | 11:14 |
| klimy | magnetron: can you give me a hint? i looked at man but did not find the parameter i needed | 11:14 |
| magnetron | klimy→ ok, then it's probably a TeX file. what more do you want to know about it? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | rockyrock: it's a compiler | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Fueled: thats the normal cause | 11:14 |
| velko | WildSoft, i'm not very familiar with this but maybe you have to boot first into windows and defragment the partition you are trying to resize | 11:14 |

| ikonia | Fueled: what part are you having issues | 11:16 |
| Danskmand | ikonia: Well, there is a Makefile....But it just points to itself ?? : "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2008-10-19 11:57 Makefile -> ../linux-headers-2.6.24-19/Makefile" | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Danskmand: then there is no makefile | 11:16 |
| Danskmand | ikonia: Whats wrong there ? | 11:17 |
| magnetron | klimy→ you can install the "uni2ascii" package | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Danskmand: there is no makefile | 11:17 |
| Fueled | ikonia: I can see the Windows drive in the "File Browser", but I can't see the boot.ini file | 11:17 |
| nigeltatschner19 | i have a realtek 8185 and it will not show | 11:17 |
| jhesketh | and hi to you cafuego | 11:17 |
| magnetron | klimy→ "tcs" looks like a good tool too | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Fueled: it's a hidden file normally | 11:17 |
| Fueled | ikonia: even with "Show Hidden Files" enabled | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Fueled: or it not being there maybe the problem | 11:17 |
| rockyrock | ikonia: how can i run the compiled file after the compliation? | 11:18 |
| ikonia | rockyrock: ./ | 11:18 |
| ikonia | rockyrock: it's a binary | 11:18 |
| Danskmand | ikonia: There are several files - init, ipc, kbuild, kernel and so on.....But they all are links and pointing to themselves | 11:18 |
| TuniX12 | ikonia: the windows hidden files are not hidden under Linux | 11:18 |
| rockyrock | ikonia: ./hello-world?? like this only? | 11:18 |
| === sk_ is now known as _sk | ||
| ikonia | rockyrock: yup | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Danskmand: then it's setup wrong | 11:18 |
| nigeltatschner19 | can anyone see my messages | 11:19 |
| === sk_ is now known as _sk | ||
| ikonia | nigeltatschner19: yes | 11:19 |
| Fueled | ikonia: yeah, I'm pretty clueless as to why I can't see it | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Fueled: maybe it's not there | 11:19 |
| WildSoft | velko: Thats the problem, it don't rezise it. When trying to in the Ubuntu installation it fails. Giving me an error message. An error has occured when writing to the disk. Sizechange has cancled - Something like that, translated from Swedish ^^ | 11:19 |
| rockyrock | ikonia: i compiled this file like this: gcc hello-world.c >> then i tried to run it using this command: ./hello-world >> and i got this: bash: ./hello-world: No such file or directory | 11:19 |
| TuniX12 | !wifi > nigeltatschner19 | 11:20 |
| ubottu | nigeltatschner19, please see my private message | 11:20 |
| klimy | man... emacs is so powerful, sometimes it even scares me... | 11:20 |
| ikonia | rockyrock: does hello-world exist ? | 11:20 |
| ikonia | rockyrock: it's normally outputing to a.out | 11:20 |
| velko | WildSoft, i already saw your problem. ikonia asked you to repeat ;-) | 11:20 |
| klimy | how can something so mighty even exist? | 11:20 |
| Fueled | ikonia: what would you suggest I do to recreate it? I already tried "bootcfg /rebuild" | 11:20 |
| rockyrock | ikonia: oh yeah it's a.out. How can i tell gcc to compile it with the name it has? | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Fueled: someone in ##windows may be able to help rebuild it | 11:20 |
| magnetron | klimy→ please join #ubuntu-offtopic , i want to discuss this with you | 11:20 |
| ikonia | rockyrock: read up on how to use the compiler and c++ | 11:20 |
| Fueled | ikonia: ok I'll look there | 11:21 |
| rockyrock | ikonia: where to read? | 11:21 |
| Fueled | ikonia: thanks! | 11:21 |
| klimy | magnetron: emacs save the day... again ;) just needed C-uC-x= ;) | 11:21 |
| ikonia | rockyrock: anywhere that teaches gcc/c++ | 11:21 |
| WildSoft | velko: I'm a bit slow atm. No breakfast =) | 11:21 |
| klimy | magnetron: thanks for your effort | 11:21 |
| magnetron | klimy→ i still need to check out tcs | 11:21 |
| jimmie32 | sorry for this silly question, but where is the /public_html folder (apache) in Ubuntu? | 11:24 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: you have to make it | 11:25 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: it's normally created in a users home dir | 11:25 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: if your using mod_user dir | 11:25 |
| ikonia | mod_user module sorry | 11:25 |
| icewaterman | is there a way to read a variables content from stdin on a shell without using "read" ? | 11:25 |
| jimmie32 | I make a directory like /home/jimmie32/apache/ ? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: /home/jimmie32/public_html | 11:25 |
| jimmie32 | then? | 11:26 |
| magnetron | icewaterman→ you can read command line arguments as $1 $2 etc | 11:26 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: then what ? | 11:26 |
| Danskmand | ikonia: Do you have a hint for where to look whats wrong ? | 11:26 |
| icewaterman | magnetron: no, i need it from stdin | 11:26 |
| jimmie32 | ikonia: I made a folder called /home/jimmie/public_html | 11:26 |
| icewaterman | like the user needs to type it# | 11:26 |
| ikonia | Danskmand: read the docs | 11:26 |
| bhavya | need help with virtualbox in ubuntu | 11:26 |
| jimmie32 | then how I tell apache to use that folder? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: great, if you've setup mod_userdir then your sorted, if not setup mod_userdir | 11:27 |
| jimmie32 | how do I setup mod_userdir? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: just enable the module | 11:27 |
| Clockswork | Lol! I had a GPU temp of 65 and a CPU temp of 53 in Idle.. I turned my computer over tried to loosen the lid to clean it...didnt find a matching screwdriver so I flipped it over again and now my CPU idle is 36 and my GPU is 54 | 11:27 |
| Clockswork | Weird! | 11:27 |
| ikonia | Clockswork: why is that funny or anything to do with ubuntu ? | 11:28 |
| Got2 | why ? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | Got2: why what ? | 11:28 |
| bhavya | need help with virtualbox on ubunut | 11:28 |
| Got2 | sorry | 11:28 |
| ikonia | bhavya: ask the question then | 11:28 |
| Got2 | hi 2 all | 11:28 |
| Got2 | i got iphone | 11:29 |
| Clockswork | ikonia: Oh, I'm sry. No there was a big dicussion here yesterday with temperatures so I guess I was stuck in that discussion.. sry | 11:29 |
| newlife | Having problem trying to run " X-CD-Roast " - Complains about " no root configuration file found, etc. " - Way to fix - or get running ? ? | 11:29 |
| chilli00 | is there any programs like microsof sam or just a text talking program native for ubuntu? | 11:29 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: not weired at all. you should open the case for sure! | 11:29 |
| Got2 | is it possible ubuntu mobile on my iphone ? | 11:29 |
| ikonia | Got2: no | 11:29 |
| chilli00 | Got2 not yet | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | chilli00, festiville (spelling?) can do voices | 11:29 |
| chilli00 | okie thanks | 11:30 |
| TuniX12 | festival | 11:30 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: Yes I know but I didnt open it, couldnt find a matching screwdriver so I just turned it on again and just by doing that I lowered my idle temps by 10 degrees | 11:30 |
| TuniX12 | !info festival | 11:30 |
| Got2 | the project about ubuntu mobile not yet success ? | 11:30 |

| Dr_Willis | Clockswork, you proberly knocked a dust bunny off... | 11:31 |
| jimmie32 | ikonia: How do I enable it? :b | 11:31 |
| ikonia | Got2: it doesn't work on the iphone yet | 11:31 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: it should normally be enabled by default I believe | 11:31 |
| Clockswork | Dr_Willis: Think so to :P | 11:31 |
| Got2 | ok thx bye | 11:31 |
| jimmie32 | ikonia: I installed apache using sudo apt-get install apache2... | 11:31 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: ok | 11:31 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: yes, i know but thats just a side-effect: 1) your box got hot during use. 2) you turned it off, hence it cooled down. 3) you turn it on, everything seems fine, but if you start over heavy using it again, it will get hot again | 11:31 |
| jimmie32 | ikonia: But its just not pointing to the /home/jimmie32/public_html/ | 11:31 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: what do you mean it's not pointing | 11:32 |
| jimmie32 | ikonia: It shows the "It works!" page and I can't replace it...where is that page located at? | 11:32 |
| newlife | X-CD_Roast will not run - no root config. error - any ideas ? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: to use mod_userdir you use http://url/~$username | 11:32 |
| icewaterman | you probably dont see the effect because some dirt did break loose from the cooler and fell down but since it is not clean it will be as dirty as before in a matter of days | 11:32 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: check out the docs on apache.org about how to use it / set it up | 11:33 |
| bhavya | ikonia: want guests and host to be accessible via applications like ssh, vsftpd, etc | 11:33 |
| ikonia | bhavya: you need to setup network bridging | 11:33 |
| jamesish | jimmie32: you're looking for httpd.conf, the configuration file that'll let you change where apache is pointing. Or, you're looking for the place apache's pointing to, so you can just put your site there. | 11:33 |
| chilli00 | Dr_Willis i installed but i cant find it anywere | 11:34 |
| === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela | ||
| jimmie32 | jamesish: I'm looking for the place apache is pointing to... | 11:34 |
| bhavya | ikonia: I googled around, but couldnt do that, any url to do that | 11:34 |
| bhavya | ikonia: can you help me do that? | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | chilli00, check the package manager.. its a command line tool. there proberly some guis for it also. | 11:34 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: because once there is a dust layer coating the cooler, new dust will easily append to that layer and cause your problem all-over again. wont take more than 1-2 weeks and it will stress your components way more than necessary over time. so clean your box up twice a year | 11:34 |
| chilli00 | o ok | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | chilli00, quick google hit -> http://www.xenocafe.com/tutorials/php/festival_text_to_speech/index.php | 11:35 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: Allright, I'll go by a matching screwdriver today :) | 11:35 |
| bhavya | ikonia:??? | 11:35 |
| jamesish | jimmie32: I understand that you might not be familiar with apache, but I'm trying to be very clear here. Find the configuration file and read it. It's normally called httpd.conf. | 11:35 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: but 43 degrees CPU idle tempereature isnt bad right? | 11:35 |
| ikonia | bhavya: what ? | 11:35 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: a side-effect might be, that the cooler will sound louder, because all the dust did absorb some of its sound | 11:36 |
| ikonia | jimmie32: it's not httpd.conf in ubuntu | 11:36 |
| crazyb0y | jamesish: these days it's called apache2.conf =) | 11:36 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: I dont have a problem with fan noise :) | 11:36 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: no, its perfectly ok, if it stays that way. | 11:36 |
| tyberion | anybody know of a command on howto move the active window to the right,left,top or bottom to a specified amount, I tried wmctrl but that doesnt seem possible :( | 11:36 |
| jimmie32 | Yup, I know it | 11:36 |
| bhavya | ikonia: how to dridgind? I googled around but couldnt help myself | 11:36 |
| ikonia | bhavya: bridging | 11:36 |
| bhavya | ikonia: do you have any links | 11:36 |
| ikonia | bhavya: no | 11:36 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: I've only had this laptop for 5 months anyways | 11:36 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: So I guess its time for my first cleaning | 11:36 |
| jamesish | Pfft. apache2.conf. Why, in my day, we had real cream in ice cream, real sunshine coming up the fields in the morning, and we used FreeBSD, the OS apache is developed on, where it's called httpd.conf. Linux whippernsappers. | 11:37 |
| bhavya | ikonia: can you help me bridging? | 11:37 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: my old X850XT GPU is the loudest component of my entire box. i will soon replace it with the onboard graphics but until intrepid that one is not supported properly. | 11:37 |
| ikonia | bhavya: no, there are docs on virtualbox's site | 11:37 |
| bhavya | ikonia: thanks | 11:37 |
| crazyb0y | jamesish: hehe =) | 11:37 |
| ikonia | bhavya: there is also docs on the ubuntu help https://help.ubuntu.com site | 11:37 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: why didnt you tell me it is a laptop. do not open the laptop, it is much easier | 11:37 |
| crazyb0y | jamesish: i use ubuntu only on my laptop =) | 11:37 |
| bhavya | ikonia: thanks again | 11:37 |
| crazyb0y | because it's too new, and ubuntu has a great support of it =) | 11:37 |

| Ujjwol | how to install .ttf fonts under ubuntu hardy | 11:38 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: do you have a vacuum cleaner, that is capable of reversing thrust? | 11:38 |
| crazyb0y | spazm: bitchx is outdated | 11:38 |
| spazm | anyone know? :) | 11:38 |
| crazyb0y | spazm: use irssi | 11:38 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: so it blows out? | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Ujjwol, i copy them to my users .fonts directory, or you can access the fonts:// location in the gnome file manager and copy them to it. | 11:38 |
| jamesish | crazyb0y: I find FreeBSD usually smokes linux for support of various features, such as wireless cards. whereas the linux kernel tends to lead in speed of development. | 11:38 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: I dont think so... | 11:38 |
| spazm | crazyb0y: that's what people keep telling me... but I had a nice setup with addons on bx... | 11:38 |
| === Ujjwol is now known as GOOGLer | ||
| Dr_Willis | or was it fonts:/// | 11:38 |
| spazm | :/ | 11:38 |
| crazyb0y | spazm: and why do you use ubuntu if you want to compile software on it ? =) | 11:38 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: some vacuum cleaners can do that. read the manual. | 11:39 |
| crazyb0y | spazm: i migrated from bitchx to irssi | 11:39 |
| crazyb0y | few days is good time to be ok in irssi | 11:39 |
| crazyb0y | =0 | 11:39 |
| crazyb0y | jamesish: the second reason to use ubuntu on my laptop is the LUKS encryption =) | 11:39 |
| spazm | crazyb0y: well, it should be possible to compile _some_ software, no? :) | 11:40 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: So instead of opening it I just take my vacuum cleaner and point it at the fan opening? Wont that just make the dust fly around inside the laptop? | 11:40 |
| crazyb0y | spazm: heh it's outdated too =) | 11:40 |
| ikonia | spazm: it is possible, but using software that is dead (unmaintained) against a new distro requires a certain level of experience | 11:40 |

| crazyb0y | yep listen to ikonia he's right | 11:40 |
| spazm | ikonia: I hear ya... :/ | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | GOOGLer, then make one. | 11:41 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: because if it can, simply do that, go outside with your laptop and vcleaner and set it to full blow with the smallest nozzle you have. hold it about 30cm away from the openings of the laptop and blow in while moving the nozzle from left to right. | 11:41 |
| crazyb0y | spazm: irssi is based on bitchx =0 | 11:41 |

| icewaterman | Clockswork: it'll blow out the dust without opening it. | 11:41 |
| ikonia | icewaterman: please stop this discussion | 11:41 |
| icewaterman | ikonia: why? | 11:41 |
| crazyb0y | spazm: it's possible if you are good in perl =P | 11:41 |
| ikonia | icewaterman: because it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 11:41 |
| icewaterman | ikonia: it works just fine | 11:41 |
| Clockswork | icewaterman: Allright thanks but lets do what ikonia says then :) Thanks alot :) | 11:42 |
| jamesish | crazyb0y: Yeah... I have FreeBSD running on servers and laptop, and ubuntu on my desktop. It' s all just posix at the end of the day. Aaaand I'm done offtopicing ;) | 11:42 |
| icewaterman | Clockswork: np | 11:42 |
| crazyb0y | jamesish: sorry i just said that in ubuntu it's apache2.conf... i didn't want to angry somebody =) | 11:42 |
| Clockswork | has any1 had any experience with updating bios for a Dell XPS m1530 inside Ubuntu? | 11:42 |

| GOOGLer | ok | 11:43 |
| ikonia | Clockswork: you can't | 11:43 |
| crazyb0y | spazm: use pastebin to paste me the rest of the output | 11:43 |
| icewaterman | ikonia: sure? dell has some suppport for updating bios in the kernel | 11:43 |
| spazm | ok sec | 11:43 |
| ikonia | icewaterman: it's not stable and supported | 11:43 |
| Clockswork | ikonia: I read yesterday on Dells blog that you can, I'm just very new to the updating bios scene so I dont want to jump into anything | 11:44 |
| ikonia | icewaterman: the process is to boot from remoable media as documented on he dell site | 11:44 |

| unitedpotsmokers | hello, if i want to install another OS with virtualbox, and it will create a new virtual driver. so it will create a new virtual drive using ubuntu partition or another partition on my hard drive? i afraid i will get a data lost with another partition.. | 12:03 |
| |Dreams| | is that bad lol | 12:03 |
| velko | ingsoc, yes you can. but if it's not in the repositories (which is maybe the case) you have to compile it yourself. and if you are new to linux this might not be the thing you really want to do | 12:04 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hello, if i want to install another OS with virtualbox, and it will create a new virtual *drive*. so it will create a new virtual drive using ubuntu partition or another partition on my hard drive? i afraid i will get a data lost with another partition.. | 12:04 |
| darkweasel | unitedpotsmokers, it won't destroy anything... it's a VIRTUAL drive | 12:04 |
| jamesish | ingsoc: if it does break things, and you have used the kernel's install mechanism to put it into grub, then you should be able to find your old kernel in grub and boot with that without any issues. | 12:05 |

| darkweasel | will i run into problems if i install windows on a computer where ubuntu is already installed on? if yes, can i fix them easily or will i have to reinstall ubuntu? | 12:07 |
| MrD1 | pajamian, and thanks for the help | 12:08 |
| jamesish | |Dreams|: if that's an error log, you're in serious trouble buster. | 12:08 |
| pajamian | darkweasel: yes, because windows will overwrite grub on the master boot sector of your HDD but there is a way to easily fix it without having to reinstall ubuntu... | 12:08 |

| |Dreams| | i dunno | 12:09 |
| |Dreams| | lol | 12:09 |
| |Dreams| | whatever ubuntu installed | 12:09 |
| ImmutableDark | |Dreams|, perhaps because for any given release of ubuntu it's conservatively safe to say it will run like a snail on horse tranquilisers on anything less than 1G ram and 2G proc | 12:09 |

| simmerz | any reason why Apache refuses to listen on ipv6? I have Listen 80 in /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 12:10 |
| ImmutableDark | does dmesg spew random new error data periodically? | 12:11 |
| drowner | hey guys - noobish question | 12:11 |
| simmerz | and if I try Listen [::]:80, I get: [Sun Oct 19 12:07:00 2008] [crit] (EAI 9)Address family for hostname not supported: alloc_listener: failed to set up sockaddr for :: | 12:11 |
| simmerz | ipv6 is enabled and ping6 ::1 works fine | 12:11 |
| drowner | I prefer the xfce desktop, however, for some reason anything but GNOME boots me out after about 30 - 60 minutes | 12:11 |
| drowner | Is there somewhere that the kernel or something will record the error message when sending me back to login? | 12:12 |
| ImmutableDark | |Dreams|, could you output your dmesg please to a file like this | 12:12 |
| unitedpotsmokers | before i install ubuntu, i created 2 partition.. 10gb ext3 partition and 512mb for swap files.. both are primary. but i saw ubuntu never used a swap partition and it is empty. should i delete a swap partition? | 12:12 |
| |Dreams| | ok | 12:12 |
| ImmutableDark | dmesg > blah.txt | 12:12 |
| ImmutableDark | then upload the file somewhere online | 12:12 |
| ImmutableDark | so I can take a quick look at it | 12:12 |

| ImmutableDark | this is basically how swap works | 12:13 |

| lexrex | the mount is in fstab | 12:15 |
| jamesish | ImmutableDark: I don't reckon it's swap. | 12:15 |

| simmerz | any reason why apache refuses to listen on ports using ipv6?? | 12:16 |
| ImmutableDark | pajamian, I said basically | 12:17 |
| pajamian | unitedpotsmokers: try this command: free -m | 12:18 |
| pajamian | unitedpotsmokers: you should see the status of your swap with that. | 12:18 |
| unitedpotsmokers | erm.. i used a system monitor... i can see information of my system... sometimes it will use only 3-4% sometimes zero... | 12:18 |
| ImmutableDark | ok |Dreams| that's pretty weird | 12:18 |
| === snux0ll is now known as maniheer | ||

| shawn-p | Hi. I was hoping to get some quick advice. I'd like to develop an OpenGL application using GLUT. I have a Radeon X800, and I have confirmed that 3D acceleration works. However, the header file GL/gl.h does not exist. Which packages should I install to get that header file? | 12:26 |
| ImmutableDark | try to see what the problem with your configuration is | 12:26 |
| ImmutableDark | ingsoc, failing that I'll give you a default xorg.conf that should work on any computer | 12:27 |
| lexrex | i can't connect to my samba share (cifs) i get the error 'host is down' any direction for troubleshooting this? | 12:28 |
| ingsoc | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:28 |

| BlueEagle | paul68: I'm physically present, but rather hung over. | 12:29 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 12:29 |
| lexrex | is ubuntu 'ready' for real time, i am trying really hard to get this working, but it seems (a) there is no support and (b) the os is not mature for normal users like me -- i try to connect to my nas the only error i get is 'host is down' no other way to troubleshoot and i at least know my way around a computer | 12:30 |
| newlife | !xmms | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | xmms is dead. :) explore the alternatives.. I like bmpx | 12:30 |
| newlife | Dr_Willis: Have bmpx installed already will try that - thanks | 12:30 |

| BlueEagle | paul68: What can I do you for this afternoon? | 12:31 |
| lexrex | could someone give me advice on how to troubleshoot on ubuntu -- what options do i have with the smb share? this is all so cryptic | 12:31 |
| ImmutableDark | Dr_Willis, xmms rules | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ImmutableDark, amazing how i have managed to get along with out it... | 12:32 |
| ImmutableDark | you are mistaken | 12:32 |
| pajamian | lexrex: what is the problem you are having? | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | but the ghost of it still haunts us. | 12:32 |
| ImmutableDark | about a great many things | 12:32 |
| ingsoc | ? what is that | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ImmutableDark, dosent really matter.. | 12:32 |
| gaitte | nobody knows? | 12:32 |
| lexrex | pajamian, i had a connection to a smb share, when i try to connect i get 'host is down' | 12:33 |
| ImmutableDark | ingsoc, backup your copy of xorg.conf | 12:33 |
| ImmutableDark | i.e. cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup | 12:33 |
| ImmutableDark | then copy over it with that | 12:33 |
| pajamian | lexrex: and you are sure that it isn't "down"? | 12:33 |
| ImmutableDark | I'm assuming your video card is vesa compatible | 12:33 |
| ImmutableDark | that configuration should get X up and running | 12:33 |
| ingsoc | nvidia | 12:33 |
| lexrex | the only thing that could have caused this is i was transfering files | 12:33 |
| simmerz | no one at all knows anything about ipv6 support in apache? | 12:34 |
| mr_lou | What's the default system-password for su after a clean installation? Is it impossible to access su because I chose to use sudo? | 12:34 |
| ingsoc | I have xrunnign just not in the new kernel,rebooted to my old one | 12:34 |
| lexrex | pajamian, yes, i am connected to it via my windows laptop | 12:34 |
| ImmutableDark | ingsoc, yeah ... it is :p | 12:34 |
| ingsoc | nioce | 12:34 |
| ortsvorsteher | mr_lou: the same password which you gave your default user | 12:34 |
| jrib | !root| mr_lou | 12:34 |
| ubottu | mr_lou: 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 | 12:34 |
| pajamian | lexrex: well I am no samba expert, I can point you to the samba help guides, though and perhaps someone else can help you more than me. Also you can try asking for help in #samba | 12:34 |
| pajamian | !smb | lexrex | 12:35 |

| mr_lou | But ok. | 12:35 |
| pajamian | lexrex: how else is it not working? | 12:35 |
| jrib | mr_lou: what doesn't work exactly? And *how* is it not working exactly? | 12:35 |
| ImmutableDark | ingsoc, did you configure it yourself? | 12:35 |
| ImmutableDark | if so did you patch it correctly? | 12:35 |
| mr_lou | jrib: Password for default user just doesn't work for su. | 12:36 |
| mr_lou | Is there any easy way of giving my terminal a black background? I looked in .bashrc, but don't think the background is set in that file. | 12:36 |
| ImmutableDark | if not ubuntu sucks | 12:36 |
| jrib | mr_lou: that's not what ubottu said | 12:36 |
| ingsoc | just made a change to the screen setting | 12:36 |

| ImmutableDark | good good | 12:36 |
| ImmutableDark | fixed = good | 12:36 |

| mr_lou | Great. White on black. That's the one. :-> | 12:37 |
| ingsoc | breaking more things tring to get my sound working then actually fixing | 12:37 |
| pajamian | lexrex: what is happening with suspend mode, then? | 12:37 |
| ImmutableDark | lol ingsoc what sound card? | 12:37 |
| mr_lou | jrib: Ubuntu just says "su: Authentication failure". | 12:38 |
| jrib | mr_lou: did you read what ubottu said? There is no root password. You can't su to root. Use sudo instead | 12:38 |
| ImmutableDark | yeah anyway alsaconf is unforgiving | 12:38 |
| ImmutableDark | I know that | 12:38 |
| mr_lou | jrib: Right. That's what I asked. Thought I might could have both though. | 12:38 |

| lexrex | pajamian, that is the problem -- lots of things are intermittent (wireless, suspend, mounting shares) and i have no idea how to troubleshoot them -- i looked at your samba links and i used them to set things up | 12:39 |
| jrib | mr_lou: there's really no point. You can do everything with sudo. If you really think you need a root prompt, just run 'sudo -i', it's the same as 'su -' | 12:39 |

| ImmutableDark | edlv fat32 | 12:40 |
| mr_lou | jrib: Great! Thanks. Well, sometimes when I have to do a lot of stuff using root, it's nicer to not have to type sudo all the time. That's why. | 12:40 |
| paul68 | BlueEagle: is there a way to create a script that installs all your programs with there specific settings on a fresh installation almost like a unattended setup without the touching the kernel? | 12:40 |
| ImmutableDark | it has the best cross compatibility | 12:40 |

| pajamian | lexrex: fair enough. | 12:41 |
| mr_lou | pajamian: Yes, I just learned. Thanks. :-) | 12:41 |
| lexrex | thanks for the direction though | 12:41 |
| mr_lou | "windows just works"? ... not in my appartment. | 12:41 |
| lillo | ciao | 12:42 |
| pajamian | mr_lou: and, yes, it is possible to assign a password to root and use the su command as well ... but that's not the "ubuntu way". | 12:42 |
| ImmutableDark | edlv, cfdisk /dev/sda1 or whatever device your thumbdrive defaults to | 12:42 |
| edlv | in windows, i right clicked and selected format. how do i format here? | 12:42 |
| fat_rat | !microsoft | lexrex | 12:42 |
| ubottu | lexrex: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 12:42 |
| jrib | edlv: install and run gparted | 12:42 |
| ImmutableDark | edlv, you don't | 12:42 |
| mr_lou | pajamian: I understand. That's also why I chose to try out the sudo way. But I do need sudo -i sometimes when doing a lot of stuff at once. | 12:42 |
| pajamian | mr_lou: I understand, I use it a lot myself. | 12:43 |
| ImmutableDark | if you format fat32 I think you'll wind up having a 32 gig/mb cap | 12:43 |
| ImmutableDark | the fat32 fs can support up to 2TB of data | 12:43 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hi all.. i have an image file "NRG" how to convert this image file to ISO file? | 12:44 |
| mr_lou | Anyone using sharpfonts.com, and why? | 12:44 |
| ImmutableDark | dl proprietry software to do this and open up cmd | 12:44 |
| guntbert | mr_lou: are you managing a server?, other wise | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | unitedpotsmokers, dependig on what it is. You can just mount it as if it was an .iso the fuseiso tool can mount them also i belive.. | 12:44 |
| ImmutableDark | yeah | 12:44 |
| guntbert | mr_lou: are you managing a server?, other wise I couldn't imagine doing *lots" as root | 12:44 |
| tdi_k | unitedpotsmokers: try nrg2iso | 12:44 |
| mr_lou | guntbert: No. I'll be using Ubuntu for desktop. Switching from Arch Linux. Mostly testing it this weekend. Will install 8.04 on a new computer tuesday I think. | 12:45 |
| mr_lou | guntbert: Well, I need to do geeky stuff sometimes... | 12:45 |
| ImmutableDark | mount whatever.nrg /mnt/cdrom -o loop | 12:45 |
| ImmutableDark | I think | 12:45 |
| unitedpotsmokers | ok.. thanks all.. | 12:45 |
| jrib | !iso | unitedpotsmokers | 12:45 |
| ubottu | unitedpotsmokers: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 12:45 |
| ingsoc | Still no go | 12:46 |
| BlueEagle | paul68: I do not think Ubuntu supports that. There are distros that allow you to "save package selection", but they do not allow to save config. | 12:46 |
| ingsoc | When I boot up says tring to load image , cant so it start normal boot instead of gnome logonscreen | 12:46 |
| BlueEagle | paul68: So you would be looking at creating a custom script and patch the configuration files with your alterations. | 12:46 |
| TheFather | hy all | 12:47 |
| ImmutableDark | does ubuntu package kernels? | 12:47 |
| jrib | ImmutableDark: yes | 12:47 |
| BlueEagle | paul68: This would entail creating a list of the applications you want to install after installig ubuntu and creating diff-files for the configuration files you alter and then apply those diffs trough a series of patches. | 12:47 |
| ImmutableDark | ingsoc, did you compile the kernel yourself or did you download and install it? | 12:47 |
| guntbert | mr_lou: I see, doing geeky things implies you know what you're doing, so no further comments from me :) | 12:47 |
| ingsoc | Dloaded the kernel for the package manager | 12:47 |
| paul68 | BlueEagle: correct | 12:48 |
| ingsoc | it installed stright after i dloaded | 12:48 |
| * ImmutableDark nudges ingsoc | 12:48 | |
| mr_lou | guntbert: I still have a lot to learn, but I'm not a complete noob anymore. ;-) | 12:48 |
| ImmutableDark | it's probably a misconfiguration | 12:48 |
| ImmutableDark | revert to an older kernel | 12:48 |
| ingsoc | Thats what im on now | 12:48 |
| === |Jelly|Ghost is now known as |Jelly| | ||
| ImmutableDark | ingsoc, you don't really need a new kernel unless it's got a new feature you want or there is an exploit in a previous version of the kernel | 12:49 |
| ingsoc | but on this kernal i did somthing appently to make it boot stright to the text based so i log on then type startx and get my gmone working... that dont even work for the new kernel | 12:49 |
| paul68 | or at least a script that installs for example konversation, quantaplus firefox with extentions and thunderbird to name a view applications | 12:49 |
| ingsoc | No sound. | 12:49 |
| ImmutableDark | have you run alsaconf? | 12:49 |
| pajamian | ingsoc: did you try to install an intrepid kernel or something? | 12:50 |
| ingsoc | from my understanding 2.6.24 has issues with my sound card | 12:50 |
| ImmutableDark | even if it fails it may tell you some info | 12:50 |
| ingsoc | pajamian got it from ubuntu website | 12:50 |
| ingsoc | http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/base/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic | 12:50 |
| paul68 | BlueEagle: I know you can select them all through synaptic but it would be easier for me to launch a script that is checking if it excists in synaptic and install it , and indicates in a logfile which was succesfull and which not | 12:50 |
| pajamian | ingsoc: see the "intrepid" in that URL? | 12:51 |
| ingsoc | yeah | 12:51 |
| ingsoc | what taht mean | 12:51 |
| pajamian | ingsoc: that means that the kernel is for the 8.10 development version of ubuntu. It is not considered stable. | 12:51 |
| pajamian | ingsoc: if you want help with it try asking in #ubuntu+1 | 12:51 |
| paul68 | BlueEagle: or after installing a small note that its succesfully installed before going on to the next | 12:52 |
| ingsoc | Thanks for your time , much appriated once again | 12:52 |
| ImmutableDark | yeah and if you want stability or it to run or for it to be easily configurable my recommendation is to use a different distribution of linux | 12:52 |
| ingsoc | Slackware? | 12:52 |
| ImmutableDark | lol that's what I use | 12:52 |
| ImmutableDark | ingsoc, whatever you want | 12:53 |
| ImmutableDark | arch linux is good | 12:53 |
| ingsoc | I just want things to work XD | 12:53 |
| paul68 | BlueEagle: including also the restricted drivers and so on | 12:53 |
| ImmutableDark | yeah arch linux | 12:53 |
| pajamian | !ot | ImmutableDark | 12:53 |
| ubottu | ImmutableDark: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 12:53 |
| ingsoc | ...Well opn that note | 12:54 |
| ImmutableDark | :P | 12:54 |
| firestorm | Hi. My /etc/rc.local does not seem to be called, therefore I have to make changes to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh ... any ideas/thoughts? | 12:55 |
| firestorm | Hi. My /etc/rc.local does not seem to be called, therefore I have to make changes to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh ... any ideas/thoughts? | 12:55 |
| jrib | firestorm: how are you determining that? | 12:55 |
| BlueEagle | paul68: Well, I'm no hero when it comes to bash scripting, but the prerequisites are: diff-file for sources.list to patch with. a list of applications to install, diff-files for all the configurations you wish to alter and then two loops. One which installs the files and one which patches the configs. | 12:55 |
| === alvin is now known as Big_Al | ||
| Dr_Willis | firestorm, first guess.. you put your commands in rc.local after the 'exit' statement.. thus they never get ran. | 12:55 |
| === Big_Al is now known as Alvin | ||
| paul68 | BlueEagle: you said it my friend ;-) | 12:56 |
| ImmutableDark | check that it's executable | 12:56 |
| ImmutableDark | check that it's called from a script in your startup routine | 12:56 |
| firestorm | Dr_Willis: nope - putting them before the exit 0 | 12:57 |
| ImmutableDark | ensure that it's in the proper script format | 12:57 |
| hypn0 | has anyone installed flash 10 from adobe site, which version? there is a deb for ubuntu, then there is some apt thing for ubuntu too? which to get? | 12:57 |
| paul68 | BlueEagle: or is there a some sort of howto for this kind a thing? | 12:57 |
| pajamian | firestorm: then the rc.local "service" got turned off somehow. | 12:57 |
| firestorm | jrib: was able to test with an ethtool statement to turn WOL on | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | firestorm, :) spend an hr one day troubleshooting.. due to myself making that mistake... | 12:57 |
| firestorm | Dr_Willis: :-) | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | firestorm, what commands re you running from rc.local? | 12:58 |
| ImmutableDark | see chmod && ls -l, see #!/bin/bash, if [-x rc.local]; then blah blah blah fi | 12:58 |
| jrib | firestorm: I would try something more simplistic like an echo statement somewhere. Then you could determine if the issue was rc.local not being run or if that particular command is not having the desired effect there | 12:58 |
| firestorm | Dr_Willis: an ethtool command which works | 12:58 |
| BlueEagle | paul68: Are you familiar with any programming language at all? | 12:59 |
| pajamian | firestorm: run this command. You should see four links that all start with S99: ls -la /etc/rc?.d/???rc.local | 12:59 |
| firestorm | jrib: no probs...checked that rc.local has an S in front of it so that it does run at startup | 12:59 |

| pajamian | !ask | YusC | 13:02 |
| ubottu | YusC: 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. :-) | 13:02 |
| jrib | aguitel: it's outdated. Just use System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 13:02 |
| firestorm | pajamian: -rwxr-xr-x | 13:02 |
| === alberto is now known as Guest69812 | ||
| BlueEagle | paul68: Well, if you know arrays and exec in php then you can create a php script to do this. This ofcourse requires you to install php prior to running your script which kind of defeats the purpouse of it. :) | 13:03 |
| firestorm | Dr_Willis: nah the command is not unset...get set in bootmisc but ignored in rc.local .. tried a few diff commands too | 13:03 |
| BlueEagle | paul68: I guess the best thing to do for you is to leard enough bash scripting to hack together such a script. | 13:03 |
| BlueEagle | paul68: or perl. | 13:04 |
| aguitel | jrib, i cannot check (in software sources) important security updates (hardy security ) | 13:04 |
| paul68 | BlueEagle: was afrraid you are going to bring this up going back to the roots oeps books that is :-) | 13:04 |
| jrib | aguitel: why? What happens when you try? | 13:04 |
| YusC | Okay, I having some trouble installing ubuntu on my laptop. It has a KM400 VIA chipset onboard, which is always causing me trouble when installing linux. Previously I had Debian running, and since a year or so I switched back to Windows. However, I thought of installing Ubuntu on it now, and the normal installation CD does not work at all, and the alternative CD starts installation, but then after pressing "Install Ubuntu" it switches to some weird video | 13:05 |
| aguitel | jrib, remains in blank | 13:05 |
| jrib | firestorm: redirect the output somewhere so you can look at it | 13:05 |
| jrib | aguitel: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:05 |
| xukun | is there a way to enable my ati x300 tv-out? | 13:05 |
| aguitel | jrib, ok | 13:05 |
| pajamian | YusC: use the alternate install CD | 13:06 |
| pajamian | !alternate | yusc | 13:06 |
| ubottu | yusc: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 13:06 |
| YusC | ubottu & pajamian: I already have the alternate CD now | 13:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:07 |
| YusC | and that one is also causing trouble | 13:07 |
| scuser | hi all, is there any alternative to the option pwcheck_method:... in the slapd.conf file ? | 13:07 |
| xukun | !tv-out | 13:07 |

| dave_ | xb install grub on vista partition/HD | 13:09 |
| jrib | aguitel: you have security | 13:09 |
| firestorm | jrib: i put in a /bin/sh -x in the /etc/init.d/rc.local as well as do an 'echo 1 > /tmp/test.txt' .. the rc.local run with '-x' shows + printf fail | 13:09 |
| firestorm | fail+ /usr/bin/tput op | 13:09 |
| aguitel | jrib, do you think the file sources.list is ok ? | 13:09 |
| jrib | aguitel: looks fine. You have duplicate -security lines. That may be what's confusing the gui | 13:10 |
| gnari | hello. after upgrade to hardy (i think that is when it started) the user cannot read photos to a canon connected to usb anymore. | 13:10 |
| YusC | Whenever the text based installer starts (this blue/gray/red screen), my video card reacts very strange. It's completely unreadable, and I remember having this trouble before. I also remember that the Debian installer had something like "novga" or "safe vga" mode, or whatsoever. Unfortunately, I cannot find such an option in the Ubuntu installer. Maybe I can add something to the boot options line? | 13:10 |
| aguitel | jrib, thanks | 13:10 |
| gnari | it seems the user does not have read/write acess to the usbdevice | 13:10 |
| homy | It must be possible to set the icon for a new mimetype! | 13:11 |
| gnari | does anyone have any idea how to debug this? | 13:11 |
| gnari | we tried both gthumb under kde (what we always did) and fspot under gnome | 13:11 |
| mr_lou | I need to set a locale in my terminal. Would /etc/rc.local be the right place to do that? | 13:12 |

| jrib | homy: you may have to edit your icon theme | 13:13 |
| mr_lou | crazyb0y: Yes. I have a java file with ISO8859-1, which javac complains about because my terminal isn't ISO8859-1 | 13:13 |
| homy | jrib: how do I do that? | 13:13 |

| gnari | it is not a usbdisk | 13:14 |
| jrib | homy: art.gnome.org has a tutorial on themes. Just copy the one you currently use, give it a new name, edit it using the tutorial as a guide, then put it in ~/.themes/ and select it in Appearance Preferences | 13:14 |
| murlidhar | gnari: then ? | 13:14 |
| gnari | canon cameras do not appear as usbdisk | 13:15 |
| === thunders1ruck is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| homy | jrib: oh. What I really want is that a .deb, when it is installs, automatically adds a new icon for its new file mimetype. | 13:15 |
| gnari | the software in gthumb and fspot recognize the usbdevice allright, just permissions are lacking | 13:15 |
| mr_lou | crazyb0y: Thanks, but it gives me UTF-8. I need to change it manually then I guess. | 13:15 |
| murlidhar | gnari: try opening gthumb using sudo gthumb | 13:16 |
| jrib | homy: do you know of an existing package that does this? | 13:16 |
| homy | jrib: no. | 13:16 |
| crazyb0y | mr_lou: export LANG="..." | 13:16 |
| homy | jrib: but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist... | 13:16 |
| xukun | can somebody please help me configure the tv-out of my ati x300? | 13:16 |
| gnari | murlidhar, i did try that but gthumb did not open. with gksu gthumb it worked, but i would prefer use normal user | 13:16 |
| jrib | homy: right, well as I see it, it's up to the icon theme to provide an icon for a mimetype | 13:17 |
| crazyb0y | mr_lou: or edit your /etc/locale.alias | 13:17 |
| gnari | murlidhar, otherwise the images saved are all owned by root | 13:17 |

From what i gather i can run | 13:58 |

| Eimhin | something similar to low orbit ion cannon? | 13:58 |
| histo | NewTOkubuntu: be free space I meant un partitioned space. | 13:58 |
| blip- | the machine has 4GB of RAM so i should get a benefit from 64-bit..... but my main priority is packages for development and general compatibility | 13:58 |
| geronimaldo | blip- java and groovy development works fine for me on amd64 running hardy | 13:59 |
| NCommander | blip-, the only thing I had trouble with from i386 -> amd64 was flash support | 13:59 |
| geronimaldo | I don´t think i´ve developed any C/C++ for a while | 13:59 |
| jrib | blip-: you won't have a java plugin for you browser from sun. So if that's something you need, you may want to just use 32bit | 13:59 |
| NewTOkubuntu | histo: i have enouf free place. But i do not know how to make the swap and to make it work | 14:00 |

| IdleOne | not exactly your issue but related I would think | 15:17 |
| blip99 | jrib: thanks, but in terms of how much is updated / how reliable the update is... which is better... an 8.04 dist upgrade to 8.10 .... or a package update of 8.10 Beta to Final ? Also can i expect to find most things in the 8.04 repos also in the 8.10 repos ? or does it take months to fillup such stuff ? thanks | 15:17 |

| scuser | hi all, I've disabled simple authentication using the configuration "security simple_bind=64" in the slapd.conf, but the system refuses to login although I can obtain tickets for the same user which I'm trying to login with and that user is in the ldap database and I can login using it when the binding method is simple; here is what kerberos logs produces http://paste.ubuntu.com/59709/ any... | 15:18 |

| Roey | komputes: nono, I have files on the Ubuntu host that I want to access from the Windows guest, so I thought of using -smb | 15:19 |
| faduda | Can anyone recommend an idiot proof backup system then? | 15:19 |
| srbaker | it'll be nice to up to intrepid on this thing | 15:19 |
| jrib | blip99: It is not recommended that you use a beta release on a production machine. Intrepid will mostly just have newer packages. Ubuntu makes a release and then that release only gets security and big bug updates. If you want something that's stable (read: not beta), then use 8.04 and then upgrade in a couple of weeks after 8.10 is released | 15:19 |
| srbaker | i have 2 500G drives, iwanted to stripe them | 15:20 |
| srbaker | and i understand intrepid will make it easy to do that at install time | 15:20 |
| Kajover | hey.. i downloaded the ubuntu 8.10 beta but the wlan doesnt work (macbook pro). Is there a newer ubuntu than the beta? | 15:20 |
| jrib | Kajover: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid | 15:20 |
| retro89dsaffdsa | can anyone help me so I can get my atheros wireless card to work? | 15:20 |
| komputes | Roey: wait, then how are you running the 'kvm' command from windows? | 15:20 |
| blip99 | if i may ask on more question please... in terms of packages for development in C/C++/Java and others... can i except packages and libraries on 8.10 to behave like ones on 8.04.... ie if i develop a large application on 8.10 ..... will it work the same on 8.04 ? Thanks | 15:20 |

| komputes | Roey: when you say "I'm trying to access it from the windows kvm guest" what is "it" mean? | 15:23 |

| thiebaude | yea i know, histo :) | 15:23 |
| Roey | komputes: nono, I have files on the Ubuntu host that I want to access from the Windows guest, so I thought of using -smb | 15:23 |
| Roey | komputes: I didn't say windows kvm guest | 15:23 |
| histo | retro89dsaffdsa: cabextract is fro extracting cabs | 15:24 |
| histo | retro89dsaffdsa: like out of cab files | 15:24 |
| retro89dsaffdsa | how can I open the exe file then? | 15:24 |
| jrib | blip99: everything will probably just work. But if you use lib version 1.0 in hardy and upstream decides to change every single function in 2.0 and that gets into intrepid, your program won't work right? | 15:24 |

| ukubuntu | Hi, I have set remote desktop on a local network (with netgear router that has nothing of note in logs) The Remote desktop viewer can see the other computer but when I try to connect I get connection to host was closed every time. this is on Hardy 8.04.01. any ideas? | 15:25 |
| retro89dsaffdsa | I did that but it sais it had an error | 15:25 |
| blip99 | jrib: hmm i see. so i think i'm better off developing on an 8.04 directly since the target machine that will run this software system will also be an 8.04... thanks for the help :) | 15:26 |
| histo | retro89dsaffdsa: perhaps the file is bad then? try man cabextract for some options you can try | 15:26 |
| jrib | blip99: definitely | 15:26 |
| komputes | Roey: Well I would make sure that both the guest and the host don't have the same IP address for starters. Perhaps even assign that machine an actual IP on same subnet as the Ubuntu host | 15:27 |

| marius | komputes, thank's I'm checking that out | 15:52 |
| ikonia | Buckie: and to be blunt if you need webmin to run a server - you should consider using the desktop install as a server | 15:52 |
| FiReSTaRT | when the usb device has a numeric vendor/product id, i have no problems adding it, but if it's alphanumeric, i just can't get it to work | 15:52 |

| FiReSTaRT | tant502: there's a deb of the new version 0.97.2 out there.. you should use that instead of the straight 0.97 that you get through synaptic b/c it has unstable connectivity | 15:55 |

| FiReSTaRT | tant502: http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=amsn just pick the 32 or the 64 bit version depending on what you're running | 15:58 |

| mindframe | am I correct in thinking that lines in /etc/crypttab should automatically be opened and mapped during boot? | 16:01 |
| scunizi | jckoster-edwards, I'm poking in the dark here but you might look for it using "sudo fdisk -l".. that will give you a list of current partitions and drives and their mount points.. if you see it there but not mounted you'll have to manually mount it. | 16:01 |

| scunizi | darkness, GeForce2 MX 440? | 16:12 |
| aadil | i thought ati open sourced its drivers for linux? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | aadil: no | 16:12 |
| darkness | scunizi, It's just an integrated, not 440... at least I don't think it is... | 16:12 |
| luckyone | I don't think my Geforce 5200 can drive 1920x1080 at 60 hertz, makes my HDTV look terrible | 16:12 |

| titan_ | oh cool, thanks | 16:13 |
| aadil | i see | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | snowman: id resolve the package as it can cause issues later | 16:14 |
| luckyone | but, I think this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133236 - might drive it better | 16:14 |
| tobiasu | luckyone: the information you've got is only true for binary drivers, when it comes to open source, ati is way ahead | 16:14 |
| snowman | ikonia: hardy, the broken package is gnome | 16:14 |
| ikonia | snowman: install the package "ubuntu-desktop" | 16:14 |
| luckyone | tobiasu: yeah, I thought ATI GPL'd their drivers, hence I thought it would work better | 16:14 |
| scunizi | darkness, someone mentioned earlier an easy 1st step to try to resolve this.. on reboot choose the rescue line and when loading hit escape.. it's suppose to ask you if you want to fix X.. after that it's more of the same poking around and trying different things.. | 16:14 |
| snowman | ikonia: it's this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring-manager/+bug/190950/+viewstatus | 16:14 |
| tobiasu | luckyone: no they didn't gpl their drivers, but they release docs for the DRI project | 16:15 |
| tobiasu | so these guys can add proper support, which is what they do | 16:15 |
| Randal1 | so with my other problem my graphics card isn't detected in Hardy Heron | 16:15 |

| luckyone | ikonia: I am going to watch this thing boot again... see how it does after manually removing scripts from init.d | 16:15 |

| Scurz_ | hi | 16:15 |
| tobiasu | if you can, get an older card (~2years),for more details read the dri wiki | 16:15 |
| scunizi | darkness, sometimes it helps to just use the nv driver until you figure it out.. | 16:16 |

| jrib | rocco: with ipv6 I have no experience | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Ice_Max: you can have the copy in the same directory if you want but as long as there is a copy that works and you know where it is its fine | 17:07 |
| jrib | rocco: do you get errors when you start apache? | 17:07 |
| rocco | no | 17:07 |
| jclbrt | why doesn't my /whois command work in Xchat.... that makes no sense to me | 17:08 |
| jrib | rocco: how does it not work exactly? | 17:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Ice_Max: now you have a backup you can go crazy on the current menu.lst safe ni the knowledge you can roll back | 17:08 |
| Ice_Max | ActionParsnip: ok, im gonna reboot and hope i didn't delete anything important | 17:08 |
| rocco | it's not listening on the ipv6 interface | 17:08 |
| jclbrt | rocco: IPv6 is a protocol not an interface | 17:08 |

| G__81 | i ve Dell Inspiron 1500 installed with 8.04 and it was working fine. I have a Nvidia Geforce 8400 M GS card i installed the nvidia drivers by compiling it as there is a bug open | 17:11 |

| ActionParsnip | Ice_Max: looks like yuo scored dude | 17:13 |
| jclbrt | IPv6 and IPv4 are two completely separate protocols. IPv6 is not backwards compatible with IPv4, and IPv4 hosts and routers will not be able to deal directly with IPv6 traffic (and vice versa). | 17:13 |
| Ice_Max | Actionparsnip: all is well, thans for the help | 17:13 |
| G__81 | danbh_intrepid, i did a new install and it worked fine but i installed some packages and today and now i dont have nvidia running and my display runs in very low config | 17:13 |
| rocco | jclbrt, I know about ipv6 | 17:13 |
| Ice_Max | *thanks | 17:13 |
| rocco | this is not an ipv6 n00b questoin | 17:13 |
| rocco | it's a why isn't apache working with ipv6 question | 17:13 |
| arvind_khadri | G__81, tried envyng? | 17:13 |
| jclbrt | so..... how would u communicate with an IPv4 machine out of curiosity | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Ice_Max: if you use the vbacking up of conf files before playing you save a TONNE of heartache, most idiots go headlong and edit system sensitive files then moan their system is borked | 17:13 |
| rocco | you'd use ipv4 | 17:14 |
| G__81 | arvind_khadri, it does not work in that way there is a bug which says to download it from nvidia.com and compile it | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jclbrt: you can ancapsulate ipv4 frames in ipv6 | 17:14 |
| G__81 | it was working | 17:14 |
| Gloom | hi there | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hi Gloom | 17:14 |
| rocco | but if you have two machines o nthe same subnet using ipv6 and ipv4 if one fails you can still talk with ipv6 using link-local | 17:14 |
| Ice_Max | ActionParsnip: i've gotten burned too many times in windows to know the importance of back ups | 17:14 |

| jclbrt | ActionParsnip: isn't that like Dual IPv6/IPv4 Stacks? | 17:15 |
| Lede | I have machine with Microsoft Windows 98 with 64MB RAM / 133 Mhz CPU. Can Ubuntu run on this? | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jclbrt: i guess, that sort of thing has been implemented for when the transition begins | 17:15 |
| arvind_khadri | Lede, ya | 17:15 |
| rocco | they are totally seperate stacks...but you can easily tunnel ipv6 over ipv4 | 17:15 |
| danbh_intrepid | Lede: no | 17:15 |

| ActionParsnip | Lede: id try buy some SDRAM to beef it up a little | 17:16 |
| jclbrt | it just seems an odd choice to use IPv6 in todays day and age | 17:16 |
| buczos | jest ktoś z polski | 17:16 |
| arvind_khadri | Lede, older versions of Ubuntu can surely run,but not with Gnome you may have to go with Xfce or Enlightment | 17:16 |
| jclbrt | unless ur in like china in there are no IPv4 addresses available | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | jclbrt: if its required it can be used | 17:16 |

| rocco | what's wrong with wanting to learn about ipv6 | 17:16 |
| movedx | My Ubuntu machine keeps rebooting its self after say, 3/4 hours of uptime. Where can I look for possible causes? I don't think it's something over heating as my hardware hasn't changed and I think it would overheat a lot sooner. | 17:17 |
| rocco | many hosts out there are actually ipv6 enabled | 17:17 |
| rocco | try host google.com | 17:17 |

| rocco | or host pastebin.ca | 17:17 |
| jclbrt | rocco: nothing is wrong with wanting to learn it.. i'm just wondering why someone would adopt it as their standard | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Lede: hmm, yeah install ubuntu then install fluxbox its a lot lighter than metacity or kde | 17:17 |
| rocco | ok ignore goolgle | 17:17 |

| partisan11 | Thanks! | 17:23 |
| jrib | !root | blackhole | 17:23 |
| ubottu | blackhole: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:23 |

| Riovane | When I make icons for the desktop.. need the icon image file be .png or .ico? | 17:24 |
| Crosswing | ActionParsnip, it's kind of unclear for me. I want to access everything with both IPs. Actually, I'd only like to use both when downloading a file (using a wget like program or a torrent client). Do you know any download manager (console) that can use more IPs? | 17:24 |
| Kr0ntab | !rar | scribawf | 17:24 |
| ubottu | scribawf: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 17:24 |
| rocco | jrib, I know how irc works, but if people descend into a discussion about why I'm using ipv6, one would think they could say I don't know the answer to th equestion | 17:25 |

| alecwh | Hello, after booting up this morning (and from updating from last night), I noticed that my "Hardware Drivers" (or restricted drivers, closed drivers, etc) box popped up, and told me that one of my "drivers" is not in use. It is the "Broadcom STA wireless driver". The other one listed, "Broadcom B43 wireless driver", is in use for my wifi card. So, does anyone know what the STA driver is? What is it designed to do? | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | the_darkside_986: you could backup xorg.conf then boot to recovery and fix xorg from the menu, then rebuild using entries from the original. Id just try the new display unit, it may just work | 17:42 |

| bbelt16ag | hi peeps | 17:43 |
| the_darkside_986 | ActionParsnip, I plugged it in but the display settings are blurry and aren't auto-detected as they normally are during a fresh install. I tried fixing X at recovery and that just uninstall nvidia-glx-new. | 17:43 |

| Neaai | mn: actually, strict kernel version is returned by: uname -r | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tim__: ping things for a while to see if they get dropped | 18:04 |
| skorasaurus | you have to restart your computer again for the sound to work. | 18:04 |
| plantperson | wineboot for the win! Why did that work? | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tim__: like an hour or so | 18:04 |

| louise | jim_p, the ethernet controller is a Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM574M Gigabit Ethernet PCi express | 19:06 |
| skorasaurus_ | !deb | 19:06 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 19:06 |
| jamesish | zielony: otherwise, you'll need to use some command line tools to make a binary of the source and install from there. Unless it's a bzipped binary, in which case some moving is what you'd need to do. | 19:07 |

| Flecha2 | twfxfnf: I dont have a CD to burn right now... | 19:18 |

| louise | jim_p, I right clicked the network manager icon and unchecked the "enable networking box" | 19:18 |
| louise | jim_p, I will undo that and kill networkmanager then | 19:18 |
| jim_p | Flecha2: btw, if grub was installed already, fluxbuntu may not reinstall it | 19:18 |

| SpinachHead | as anyone installed ubuntu without internet? | 19:19 |
| willluongo | SpinachHead: yes | 19:19 |
| GodfatherofEire | Is there ANYONE in here who would be willing to give me a little help here? | 19:19 |
| bpat1434 | jim_p, heh.. was a hidden window that didn't show up in the taskbar .... | 19:19 |
| jamesish | Tankado: there's a few things you can do. "merging" the partitions is possible, but you'll need a tool like gParted, and it's not 100% safe. Should be quite safe, but not 100%. | 19:19 |
| jim_p | bpat1434: lmao | 19:19 |
| Flecha2 | jim_p: do you know what flag do I need to put in my menu.lst to load Fluxbuntu? | 19:19 |
| coincoin161 | what text editor do you use (i don't mean vi nor nano) but what would be your choice between abiword, ooo, or others ??? | 19:19 |
| twfxfnf | godfather: what's the problem | 19:19 |
| technomensch | will: [sbin/fsck.ext2(1) - - /dev/sda2] fsck.ext2 /dev/sda2 running off live gutsy on laptop | 19:19 |
| AciD-Ghost | Good evening. I need a good CAD program (Autocadish) anyone familar with anything like that ? | 19:19 |
| Dalem50 | SpinachHead: Sure, what do you mean by that? You can buy the CD using ShipIt, or do you mean putting the CD in and installing Ubuntu? That works too. | 19:19 |
| louise | jim_p, I don't see the network manager app using "top" how do I kill it? | 19:19 |
| jamesish | Tankado: otherwise, you can do something simple like make a shortcut to the other partition in your home directory. I have a directory in my home directory for Music which is actually a drive on another machine, for example. | 19:20 |
| jim_p | Flecha2: no, i cat guss with no clues, but i can make one | 19:20 |
| jim_p | louise: killall network-manager | 19:20 |
| jim_p | i think | 19:20 |
| SpinachHead | no,i installed heron already, but i cant get ndiswrapper to the box because my usb drive wont mount | 19:20 |
| Dalem50 | SpinachHead: Yeah, and internet isn't required to install Ubuntu if you already have the CD.. | 19:20 |
| SpinachHead | yeah, but moving a usb with the wireless packages wont work | 19:20 |
| dooglus | how can I change the language a GNOME desktop is in? | 19:20 |
| Dalem50 | SpinachHead: Try using your ethernet. | 19:21 |
| Terabytten | Okay, I'm having a bit of a problem. | 19:21 |
| SpinachHead | i mean i cant read off the thumbdrive | 19:21 |
| dooglus | I'm using NX to connect to it, not gdm | 19:21 |
| sandstrom | It seems the state module is disabled in my iptables. Anyone who have come across this problem before? | 19:21 |
| Flannel | SpinachHead: Do you have the CD still? | 19:21 |
| SpinachHead | yes | 19:21 |
| willluongo | technomensch: I am not sure what you are showing me? | 19:21 |
| SpinachHead | alt install | 19:21 |
| GodfatherofEire | Thanks, twfxfnf. Firefox is a) not loading home page on start-up b) incapable of bookmarking c) address bar doesnt change with a change in the page d) Fast dial isn't showing up and e) forwards and back arent working. | 19:21 |

| Flecha2 | jim_p: title fluxbox kernel (hd0,3)/boot/vmlinuz initrd (hd0,3)/boot/initrd.img thats what I have for Fluxbuntu now | 19:21 |
| GodfatherofEire | That's the error log | 19:21 |
| ScornInPC | hi all | 19:21 |
| mrr | Can anyone check this http://paste2.org/p/89124 ? My screen is supposed to have refresh rate 60 but when I open "screen resolution settings" it has refresh rate 51 and i can't change it. Is there anything wrong with my xorg.conf? | 19:21 |
| Flannel | SpinachHead: put the CD in, add it as a repo (if you installed from the alt CD, its already there), and you can install ndiswrapper from the CD | 19:21 |
| twfxfnf | your good news: linux works | 19:21 |
| keystr0k | How do I hide a partition from Ubuntu? It shows up in the Places menu but it's not in /etc/fstab. The only option is to "mount" it. I want to hide it. | 19:21 |

| ScornInPC | how to get apache2 user? i need edit my sudoers, but i dont know the user | 19:22 |
| GodfatherofEire | I have Opera already as a back-up | 19:22 |
| Dalem50 | keystr0k: Try deleting the mounting point, that might work. I don't know anything else besides that. | 19:22 |
| louise | jim_p, that doenst work... how can I see if its running? | 19:22 |
| jim_p | Flecha2: i will pm you the lines ok? | 19:22 |
| * twfxfnf reads the log | 19:22 | |
| willluongo | ScornInPC: it should be in your apache2 config | 19:22 |

| keystr0k | Dalem50, I cannot find the mount point! arg. | 19:23 |
| * Dalem50 can't wait for the 11 days. He tries the Beta version on a VM and it doesn't install right? :-( | 19:23 | |
| ScornInPC | willluongo: ok, i will look for | 19:23 |
| Terabytten | I've installed Ubuntu 8.04.11, and it was running fine, then I had to reinstall because it wouldn't boot properly, and prior to that the WLAN was no longer functioning. So I reinstalled, and everything was going fine for the next several days. Then this morning, I ran into the same problem. It won't boot up. When it is booting it says some file is missing, I think the file name was something starting with cmd, can't remember what fo | 19:23 |
| twfxfnf | yeah, try that | 19:23 |
| Dalem50 | keystr0k: Then I give up xD | 19:23 |
| netiho | oi | 19:23 |
| Flecha2 | oi | 19:23 |
| netiho | oi | 19:23 |
| louise | jim_p, found it.. it was called "nm-applet" | 19:23 |
| jim_p | louise: i dont know the name sorry | 19:23 |
| ScornInPC | oi | 19:23 |
| twfxfnf | if i had to guess, i'd say you were missing libxml or something | 19:23 |
| Terabytten | Is there some way that I can repair the missing files without reinstalling Ubuntu entirely? | 19:23 |
| netiho | tudo bem ? | 19:23 |
| jim_p | lol | 19:23 |
| keystr0k | Dalem50, give up xD? | 19:23 |
| netiho | oi | 19:23 |
| netiho | oi | 19:24 |
| ScornInPC | willluongo: nothing | 19:24 |
| goat|lappy | Terabytten: yes if you know what file is missing | 19:24 |
| louise | jim_p, what should I do now? | 19:24 |
| netiho | oi | 19:24 |
| twfxfnf | try @firefox | 19:24 |
| willluongo | ScornInPC: did you isntall it via apt? | 19:24 |
| twfxfnf | #firefox | 19:24 |
| ScornInPC | willluongo: yes | 19:24 |
| netiho | oi | 19:24 |
| jim_p | louise: sudo gedit /etc/networking/interfaces | 19:24 |
| Dalem50 | keystr0k, why do you want to hide the partition? xD | 19:24 |
| Terabytten | Okay, so what process would I take if I knew what file was missing? I don't suppose you'd know what file it is just by my saying the first three letters of the filename were cmd. | 19:24 |
| jim_p | louise: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 19:24 |
| Dalem50 | Keystr0k: Try searching the forums on that. | 19:24 |
| jim_p | i made a mistake | 19:24 |
| keystr0k | Dalem50, Okay... I'll keep searching. thakns. | 19:25 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Any idea as to what the problem is? | 19:25 |
| willluongo | ScornInPC: I believe the default then is daemon | 19:25 |
| droopsta915 | can someone take a look at this and tell me why my computer goes to this black screen? here is the pastebin-http://paste.ubuntu.com/59788/ | 19:25 |

| Dalem50 | keystr0k: Sorry bud, but I don't know how to hide a partition at all... | 19:25 |
| ScornInPC | willluongo, dont work too ... =/ | 19:26 |
| willluongo | ScornInPC: it is in /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf | 19:26 |
| louise | jim_p, I have only two lines there: auto lo AND iface lo inet loopback | 19:26 |
| jim_p | Flecha2: your fluxbuntu lines seems fine | 19:26 |
| willluongo | ScornInPC: What exactly are you trying to do? | 19:26 |
| goat|lappy | Terabytten: in terminal type sudo find / -n cmd* | 19:26 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | twfxfnf, any ideas as to what the problem might be though, seeing as how I spent a great deal of time setting it up | 19:26 |
| keystr0k | Dalem50, It's all good. | 19:26 |
| Flecha2 | jim_p: hum... that is no good | 19:26 |
| Terabytten | Um, that's the file that's missing, how am I going to find it there? | 19:26 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | And every other browser clogs my system | 19:26 |
| Terabytten | Oh wait, live cd. | 19:26 |
| Terabytten | nvm | 19:26 |
| goat|lappy | Terabytten: well, I'm conveying to you how many files in the filesystem start with cmd | 19:27 |
| Terabytten | Invalid predicate error. | 19:27 |
| ScornInPC | willluongo: this file dont exists! /etc/apache/httpd.conf yep ... i need put this user in my sudoers, becase i need execute system() in my php scripts | 19:27 |
| Terabytten | Oh, I see. | 19:27 |
| Firstmate | Hello, I'm trying to find the madwifi.sh needed for my atheros driver fix. | 19:27 |
| Firstmate | Can anyone help? | 19:27 |
| Firstmate | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798485&highlight=Atheros <--I'm using that as a guide. | 19:28 |
| giacomo_carissim | did you try google Firstmate | 19:28 |
| Firstmate | Yes I did. | 19:28 |
| Firstmate | It says I can find the file at: http://madwifi.org/ or http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-trunk | 19:28 |
| goat|lappy | Terabytten: it happens to be a few, not too many, but if its cmdline, then that could be a problem | 19:28 |
| Firstmate | But neither show the file. | 19:28 |
| Terabytten | Okay then, so once I find the file name that it's missing, how do I go about reinstalling that driver? | 19:28 |
| Terabytten | That sounds right. | 19:28 |
| shawn-p | when I link my program, I'm getting "undefined reference to 'dlopen', 'dlsym', 'dlclose'" linker errors. Does anyone know how to fix that, or know whether that's a problem with the compiler itself? | 19:28 |
| happosade | Can I igrone some users from irssi's away-log? | 19:28 |
| Terabytten | That sounds dead-on, actually. | 19:28 |
| happosade | !irssi | 19:28 |
| ubottu | Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. | 19:28 |
| Terabytten | Is there a fix? I've had this problem twice now. | 19:28 |
| crimsun | shawn-p: you might want #ubuntu-programming, but see -ldl | 19:29 |
| Terabytten | Another question, why did I just call it a driver. | 19:29 |
| willluongo | ScornInPC: I am not sure what is going on with your system, that is the default location for the conf file and the default user... | 19:29 |
| shawn-p | should I add that explicitly to the build commandline? | 19:29 |
| goat|lappy | Terabytten: it depends on the exact file missing, you could mount that installation from your live cd and move the live cd version to it, but if the file is a configuration file, then there could be some problems | 19:29 |
| goat|lappy | and i cant answer your last question :-p | 19:29 |
| Terabytten | lol | 19:30 |
| giacomo_carissim | is there a way to fix/repair a root filesystem without having to boot up a live cd? | 19:30 |
| Firstmate | Anyone? | 19:30 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | twfxfnf, any idea as to how to fix it though? | 19:30 |
| Dalem50 | Does anyone know a IM client you can use in terminal? :-/ | 19:30 |
| ScornInPC | willluongo: corse no, but, thanks for help | 19:30 |
| goat|lappy | irssi Dalem50 | 19:30 |
| Dalem50 | goat|lappy: What I mean't was something you could use to connect to more than IRC? | 19:31 |
| goat|lappy | oh, finch Dalem50 | 19:31 |
| Dalem50 | Command to install? xD | 19:31 |
| goat|lappy | Dalem50: finch is a command line version of pidgin, it may be already installed | 19:32 |
| jrib | giacomo_carissim: depends on what you need to fix/repair. You may be able to use recovery mode from the grub menu | 19:32 |

| GodfatherofEir1 | Or do I have to go into the terminal, purge FF, and re-install? | 19:33 |

| Hanyou | Has anyone experienced a problem in getting Cisco hardware (Not Linksys but actual Cisco hardware) to issue Ubuntu and IP address or allow it external access at all? I have attempted assigning it a manual IP address and it is still not able to connect to the outside world.

| Hanyou | Probably not as I have tried my own DNS, OpenDNS, and my ISP's DNS. Also all my Windows boxes are working fine. | 19:41 |

| ubottu | upo: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 19:42 |
| Flare183 | oops | 19:42 |
| crtoe | baldur_: apparently your hardware isn't detected | 19:42 |
| crtoe | baldur_: this could mean that either there's no kernel support for it or that you don't have the appropriate driver(s) loaded for it | 19:42 |
| william56 | in windows there's a tool that comes with the drivers for the sound card that allows me to change the connected device type to headphones to get a sound boost | 19:43 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Could I get some help for the actual bloody problem here? | 19:43 |
| minimec | william56: Do you use also or pulseaudio output? You can verify that with <alt<f2 gstreamer-properties | 19:43 |
| baldur_ | crtoe: but it works my internet is working fine i just wanna change my ip on the network and cant do that ?? | 19:43 |
| minimec | william56: alsa or pulseaudio ... | 19:43 |
| baldur_ | crtoe: should i find drivers if so how do i do that ? | 19:43 |
| william56 | i'm using alsa | 19:43 |
| crtoe | baldur_: post the output of dmesg to pastebin. also post the output of lsmod. | 19:44 |
| crtoe | baldur_: if you can, try posting on pastebin the output of lshw as well | 19:44 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | For the love of God will someone please answer me and actually TRY to HELP with the problem? | 19:44 |

| ubottu | baldur_, please see my private message | 19:45 |
| Hanyou | GodfatherheroEir1: What is your question? | 19:45 |
| minimec | william56: Ok. Check the 'pcm' volume in your volume properties and check if your software uses software mixing. that may influence your volume. | 19:45 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | Ok, Firefox a) no history b) bookmarks not working c) back and forward not working d) fast dial not working and e) the URL doesnt change with the page | 19:46 |
| baldur_ | crtoe: ok what should i put there ? | 19:46 |
| william56 | pcm is maxed. i'm not exactly sure how to check whether i'm using a software mixer or not | 19:46 |
| twfxfnf | hmm...check permissions on ~/.mozilla | 19:46 |
| crtoe | baldur_: read my previous message again. if you're not going to put any effort in to helping yourself, i'm not going to try either | 19:46 |

| GodfatherofEir1 | Nada | 19:47 |

| minimec | william56: that depends on the software. There is often an option in the preferences dialog of your sound software. | 19:47 |

| crtoe | baldur_: they are commands. open a terminal emulator (konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm, etc.) or from the console, run those commands and paste the output to pastebin | 19:47 |
| ronzilla_ | no they're 2 sata drives and 1 IDE | 19:47 |

| goat|lappy | ronzilla_: hmm, you can either mount it with -ro switch for read only, or you can try the force switch.... how are you mounting? through command line? | 19:48 |
| csilk | GodfatherofEir1, please list your system details, kernal, OS version, FF version | 19:48 |
| minimec | william56: Other thing may be the gnome equalizer. With exaile for example you have to start the software with a no equalizer option. | 19:48 |
| crtoe | GodfatherofEir1: did you update firefox recently? | 19:48 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | No, actually | 19:48 |

| crtoe | GodfatherofEir1: i know that whenever i update, the package manager tells me to restart firefox to avoid any issues | 19:49 |

| csilk | uname -a | 19:50 |
| ronzilla_ | I'll give it a shot | 19:50 |
| Scunizi | ronzilla_: if you're trying to mount a ntfs drive that wasn't shut down clean then you'll either have to go back into windows and shutdown normally or force the mount process. | 19:50 |
| GodfatherofEir1 | csilk: FF3.0.3, Ubuntu 8.04, Kernel Version 2.6 I think | 19:50 |

| Misterjos | hey, how can i use alsa for amarok and firefox? i can use pulseaudio but that gives little cracks in the sound | 19:51 |

| GodfatherofEir1 | One moment | 19:51 |
| jakob__ | hallo, ich habe gerade ein programm kompiliert und installiert, weiß jetzt aber gar nicht wie ich das starten kann. | 19:52 |
| jabagawee | crtoe, its not just irssi, i'm pretty sure most irc clients do that too (or at least xchat does) | 19:52 |
| crimsun | Misterjos: you'll need to configure amarok's xine config to use alsa directly | 19:52 |
| jakob__ | ups, sorry | 19:52 |
| Enissay | what's the app wich take a text and give an ascii code as output?? | 19:52 |

| ubottu | tim__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 20:08 |
| ubtu | i thought there was a way to fix it through linux | 20:08 |
| Aeonis | Anyone up for helping me? | 20:08 |
| OptimismPrime | i have a problem with this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies . i followed it and it worked so far, i adapted it to use a newer version of debootstrap, and told it to use hardy instead of hoary. Everything worked perfectly untill the step where it tells me to "base-config new" in the "setting up the ubuntu system" part of the guide. bash says "command not found" | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jamesish: makes sense. Cheers | 20:08 |
| jabagawee | ActionParsnip, if you want, you can always view the page source. i think firefox looks for certain ids on the input boxes, and this site doesn't follow convention | 20:08 |
| goat|lappy | keystr0k: i think hardy has that option | 20:08 |
| Flare183 | !ask | Aeonis | 20:09 |
| ubottu | Aeonis: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 20:09 |
| goat|lappy | keystr0k: maybe its in intrepid | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: sudo fdisk -l will show you its /dev name | 20:09 |
| xyz | Flare183, is there an official song for Ubuntu? | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jabagawee: that makes sense | 20:09 |
| Aeonis | I did ask the question...2nd day in a row asking the question. To no avail and getting ignored. | 20:09 |
| Flare183 | xyz: Not that I know of, and I'm a Ubuntu Op Helper | 20:09 |
| Aeonis | not much for support if you ask me. | 20:09 |
| tim__ | ok, so im newto linux and was just wondering where to start!! | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: you can then mount from that or even add an entry to fstab | 20:09 |
| dvyjones | jabagawee: Looks good, but the person that recieves help needs to be able to get help with really minimal installation, p+referably none. | 20:09 |
| keystr0k | goat|lappy, Is there some kind of preferences utility for that? | 20:09 |
| Flare183 | xyz: And I would ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:09 |
| xyz | Flare183, tHanks ok | 20:09 |
| liza0 | hello | 20:10 |
| Flare183 | !newuser | tim__ | 20:10 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about newuser | 20:10 |
| Flare183 | !newusers | tim__ | 20:10 |
| ubottu | tim__: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 20:10 |
| jabagawee | dvyjones, i assume that you're helping windows users. if you're talking about supporting linux users, they have to know how to forward ports on their router | 20:10 |
| liza0 | do you guys know of any java decompilers that come with ubuntu ? | 20:10 |
| nivin | What are the major changes in upcoming version of ubuntu?????/ | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: im helping you now. did yu websearch some in between for a resolve? | 20:10 |
| Aeonis | I have 2 hard drives. Ubuntu is on my 40 gb (master) and a SATA secondary hard drive. It's about 320 GB and I can't seem to see it on my list in my "Computer" area. I do see it in my 'fdisk -l' command though. | 20:10 |
| Aeonis | yes. | 20:10 |
| Kartagis | how do i tell NetworkManager not to mess with /etc/resolv.conf? there was a setting with /etc/nsswitch.conf but I don't remember it now | 20:10 |
| goat|lappy | for keystr0k, does any one know if its only intrepid or if hardy has the gnome vfs file operations, where you can stack file operations? | 20:10 |
| Flare183 | !jvm | liza0 | 20:10 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jvm | 20:10 |
| nivin | What are the major changes in upcoming version of ubuntu????? | 20:10 |
| goat|lappy | keystr0k: sorry i'm running intrepid, and i know its there | 20:10 |
| maniheer | !info jwm | liza0 | 20:10 |
| ubottu | liza0: jwm (source: jwm): Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.1-1.1 (hardy), package size 93 kB, installed size 284 kB | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: thats great, what file system is it using? | 20:10 |
| cfm | Hi, is there an Ubuntu-specific eee PC channel? | 20:10 |
| Aeonis | All I can find is "how to dual boot" so that I can have a windows partition. I did both Google and the Ubuntu site. | 20:10 |
| Flare183 | nivin: Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:11 |
| jabagawee | cfm, i assume not | 20:11 |
| goat|lappy | cfm: yes #eeepc | 20:11 |
| keystr0k | goat|lappy, Cool! Is there a place where you can "edit" that setting? | 20:11 |
| mib_72oxjm | hey is there a way to disable the BLUETOOTH SUPPORT in the install cd??????????????????????????????????????? since my fing install cd always halts after it says STARTING BLUETOOTH... no [OK] afterward. i cant even install it this so pretty damn fuckin sucks believe me! | 20:11 |
| Aeonis | I partitioned it (using GParted) to ext3 ActionParsnip | 20:11 |
| jabagawee | Flare183, wouldnt it be more like #ubuntu+1? | 20:11 |
| goat|lappy | cfm: most there run ubuntu-eee | 20:11 |
| Kr0ntab | Gentoo developers and the community supporting it think differently about "releases"... the distro simply continues to progress daily... negating the need for the stigma of a "release". | 20:11 |
| Flare183 | jabagawee: umm.. Yes in fact it would be | 20:11 |
| goat|lappy | keystr0k: I'm not familiar with any editable options for that | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: thats cool, ok where do you want it mounting and what is the /dev name of the partition | 20:11 |
| cfm | goat|lappy: Thanks, will ask there | 20:11 |
| Flare183 | !ot | 20:11 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:11 |
| mib_72oxjm | help me | 20:11 |
| liza0 | maniheer: i am not looking for a window manager | 20:11 |
| Flare183 | !ask | mib_72oxjm | 20:11 |

| dvyjones | jabagawee: I'm only helping windows users (more specifcally my grandparents). They don't really know how to install software, but I can help them downloading a file and opening that (LogMeIn Rescue would be perfect if it was free). | 20:12 |
| keystr0k | goat|lappy, Okay. Thank you though... it's good to know Intrepid can do it. | 20:12 |
| jbroome_ | mib_72oxjm: hahahah | 20:12 |
| goat|lappy | keystr0k: np | 20:12 |
| mib_72oxjm | jbroome_: ??? ! | 20:12 |
| Aeonis | ActionParsnip: Not sure. What I had on Fedora was an area in my "Computer" that I could click on the left under my main "File System". I also had a link on my desktop. I'd be happy with either of those really. | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_72oxjm: remove the bluetooth module from the system | 20:12 |
| Pici | mib_72oxjm: Can you please watch your language here. | 20:12 |
| mib_72oxjm | jbroome_: i beg your pardon | 20:12 |
| mib_72oxjm | ActionParsnip: I DONT EVEN HAVE ONE | 20:12 |

| Aeonis | I just got to get to learning security and I need to set up some VM | 20:12 |
| maniheer | mib_72oxjm, make your own livecd without bluetooth support | 20:12 |
| truebosko | Is there a way I can add an ssh alias like "ssh myserver" so I dont have to constantly type the username? | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !caps | mib_72oxjm | 20:12 |

| mib_72oxjm | ohnoes | 20:13 |
| nivin | how can i configure myth tv | 20:13 |
| goat|lappy | mib_72oxjm: try the alt installer | 20:13 |
| OptimismPrime | i have a problem with this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies . i followed it and it worked so far, i adapted it to use a newer version of debootstrap, and told it to use hardy instead of hoary. Everything worked perfectly untill the step where it tells me to "base-config new" in the "setting up the ubuntu system" part of the guide. bash says "command not found" | 20:13 |
| jrib | truebosko: yes, in ~/.ssh/config. See 'man ssh_config'. Poke me if you want an example | 20:13 |
| jabagawee | dvyjones, crossloop is a one time install. after that, its a lot more painless than any other alternative | 20:13 |
| mib_72oxjm | goat|lappy: where is this? | 20:13 |
| Flare183 | !mythtv | nivin | 20:13 |
| ubottu | nivin: mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv | 20:13 |
| Reign | Hey everyone. I am new to Ubuntu and recently installed it. I am having issues with finding Nvidia Nforce drivers for Ubuntu. Are they the RPM's that they are supplying on their website? If anyone can help it would be appreciated. | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: what is the partition name in the fdisk output? | 20:13 |
| mib_72oxjm | maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan this channel is to fast!!! | 20:13 |
| goat|lappy | !alt | mib_72oxjm | 20:13 |
| ubottu | mib_72oxjm: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 20:13 |
| nivin | HOW CAIN I CONFIGURE MYTH TV | 20:13 |

| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: ok does it only have 1 partition? | 20:14 |
| * Flare183 thinks that he needs to bring his bot in here to help | 20:14 | |
| jabagawee | Reign, do a 'aptitude search nvidia' | 20:14 |
| twfxfnf | fstab | 20:14 |
| Flare183 | mib_72oxjm: You can't | 20:14 |
| goat|lappy | mib_72oxjm: its not going to happen | 20:14 |
| mib_72oxjm | pls | 20:14 |
| jamesish | ubtu: sounds like a reasoned course of action. Good luck! | 20:15 |
| jabagawee | Reign, what card are you using specifically? | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: /dev/sda is a drive you can touch and feel | 20:15 |
| jbroome_ | danshtr: if you're replacing slack then just boot the ubuntu cd and do an install | 20:15 |
| dvyjones | jabagawee: I can install that in some days, when I'm going to meet my grandparents, but I need a temporary solution for today. | 20:15 |
| twfxfnf | this place needs multiple bots | 20:15 |
| jrib | !fstab > Aeonis | 20:15 |

| baby-d | hey i need help..... Im looking for a usb wifi that is compatible with ubuntu | 20:15 |
| danshtr | jbroome_: what about my home folder? | 20:15 |
| jrib | \Kira: why? Just add the user to the 'admin' group to give him sudo rights | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !adduser | \Kira | 20:15 |
| ubottu | \Kira: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 20:15 |
| jabagawee | dvyjones, yeah, any solution i can think of would include opening ports, downloading and unzipping a file, and going online to check their ip address | 20:15 |
| ubtu | thanks for trying guys | 20:15 |
| Aeonis | That, I don't know ActionParsnip. I would like to find out. One thing that bothers me is that is a second hard drive I can touch and feel and in GParted, it only shows that I have like 298 GB on GParted. Which means I'm missing almost 20 GB of data "somewhere" | 20:15 |
| baby-d | any one? | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: your fdisk output will say | 20:15 |
| === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy | ||
| jabagawee | baby-d, go for something with a ralink chipset | 20:16 |
| \Kira | jrib, ActionParsnip : That works, thanks | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: you'll see /dev/sda1 <some size> | 20:16 |
| jamesish | Aeonis: 20GB could just be the filesystem. | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: /dev/sda2 | 20:16 |
| goat|lappy | Aeonis: no, a 320GB drive will only show as 298GB | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: and so on | 20:16 |
| hharvey | i downloaded the libdvdcss2 package in order for my drive to read dvd formats and I still get the "unable to mount drive" | 20:16 |

| dvyjones | jabagawee: I don't think they have a firewall installed :P | 20:16 |
| jbroome_ | danshtr: and you didn't mention wanting to keep it around in your question | 20:16 |
| jabagawee | dvyjones, oh hey, that makes life a lot easier | 20:16 |

| baby-d | ok | 20:17 |
| mbrigdan | can anyone help me, for some reason hardy seems to be locking up really often now, I didn't even add or remove any hardware. My syslog gives some messages about eth0 going into and out of promiscuous mode, then it records my hard restart, which implies that it was still working at the time it froze, but just wasn't responding.

| goat|lappy | paul68: what do you mean install all programs? | 20:18 |
| saint-takeshi | jamesish: half the problems on freenode are nvidia closed-source drivers. users come to linux with the wrong mindset...i remember as a noob, being completely unable to understand why windows, for all its flaws, could install video drivers with a simple *.exe, but under linux (debian woody) it was a nightmare. | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mib_72oxjm: does your system have bluetooth? | 20:18 |
| jabagawee | Reign, rig up some ethernet connections | 20:18 |

| hharvey | jrib: i get unable to mount location, no media in drive | 20:19 |
| jabagawee | dvyjones, then by all means go for it, i'm not stopping you | 20:19 |
| tj13820 | it is a generic Tri Quest Webcam | 20:19 |
| jrib | maniheer: stop. You're making it worse with the chatter | 20:19 |
| mib_72oxjm | jrib: how would you describe the alternate cd in short | 20:19 |
| jabagawee | Reign, the computer with nvidia is wired or unwired right now? | 20:19 |
| goat|lappy | maniheer: its only 100 more than usual :-P | 20:20 |
| tj13820 | and i have "an attitude"due to the respone of !webcam that i got 20 times before anyone decided to help | 20:20 |
| mib_72oxjm | jrib: i tried three different versions of the install cd, same result | 20:20 |
| jrib | hharvey: what kind of dvd is this? | 20:20 |
| tj13820 | i alreaady installed easycam2 and all other files | 20:20 |
| Strider22 | ubtu: you still there? | 20:20 |
| Reign | jabagawee: wired to my laptop to do some ICS to get internet. Trying to get internet on the PC is becoming a nightmare | 20:20 |
| jrib | mib_72oxjm: what 3 different versions exactly? | 20:20 |
| hharvey | jrib: its a store bought dvd video | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | tj13820: generic or not, you still need to find what chip it has, lsusb will give a line pertaining to the webcam, you can paste it in here and websearch as well as I will | 20:20 |
| goat|lappy | paul68: did that remaster stuff answer your question? | 20:20 |
| ortsvorsteher | Strider22: ubottu is an bot.... | 20:20 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Is there a better, safer alternitive to NFS on Ubuntu | 20:20 |
| jrib | hharvey: does this happen with other DVDs? | 20:20 |
| mib_72oxjm | jrib: 7.10 cd and dvd. and 8.10 cd | 20:20 |
| hharvey | jrib: yes it oes | 20:20 |
| OptimismPrime | i have a problem with this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies . i followed it and it worked so far, i adapted it to use a newer version of debootstrap, and told it to use hardy instead of hoary. Everything worked perfectly untill the step where it tells me to "base-config new" in the "setting up the ubuntu system" part of the guide. bash says "command not found" | 20:20 |
| tj13820 | ActionParsnip: thank you, i will do that. Now i have something to work with | 20:21 |
| jrib | mib_72oxjm: the alternate cd is not the same as the desktop cd | 20:21 |
| jrib | !alternate | mib_72oxjm | 20:21 |
| ubottu | mib_72oxjm: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 20:21 |
| mib_72oxjm | jrib: but it must be bluetooth issue since none of the above worked. no cd error. | 20:21 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: well you do a clean install of ubuntu and after that you want to install all the programs that you would like to have installed like for example firefox thunderbird cute ftp and others | 20:21 |
| Riovane | jrib: sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 20:21 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: did not have the time to check yet | 20:21 |

| Batty4 | Hello, anyone know if there is a way to allow VNC from SSH? I'm trying to test something though I need to do in X. I do have SSH available. | 20:21 |
| Thedjatclubrock | I need auth on NFS | 20:21 |
| jrib | mib_72oxjm: not necessarily. Just because the last thing you see on your screen is "no bluetooth [OK]" doesn't mean it's a bluetooth issue | 20:21 |
| WastePotato | Hmm. | 20:22 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: but this is for a live cd or am I wrong here | 20:22 |
| Kr0ntab | paul68: you can use the dpkg --get-selections command... output the results to a text file... | 20:22 |
| mib_72oxjm | jrib: what could it be???? | 20:22 |
| ortsvorsteher | Batty4: you can export your X display over ssh | 20:22 |
| goat|lappy | paul68: you can do the remaster thing to get a perfect set of applications, but yes, if you know exactly what programs you want, you could setup a simple script to install all progs at once | 20:22 |
| mib_72oxjm | jrib: it sucks | 20:22 |
| jrib | Riovane: output of: dpkg -S $(which virtualbox) | 20:22 |
| Kr0ntab | paul68: which you can then use to feed into spkg again to install the packages | 20:22 |
| jrib | mib_72oxjm: I don't know. Try the alternate cd to see if it works | 20:22 |
| hharvey | jrib: it happens to all dvds. | 20:22 |
| mib_72oxjm | jrib: can you give me the link to the new 8.10 alternate? cant find it | 20:23 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: how would I procede with that ? | 20:23 |
| jabagawee | OptimismPrime, any specific reason you're doing this with floppies? | 20:23 |
| jrib | mib_72oxjm: check cdimage.ubuntu.com | 20:23 |
| BriteLeaf | I just went to this page to try to fix my video resolution... help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto. I put in these commands... sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom | 20:23 |
| goat|lappy | paul68: if its a small set, then do you know how to start a shell script? the header info? | 20:23 |
| === DevS is now known as devs | ||
| mib_72oxjm | sorry foubd it http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-beta-alternate-amd64.iso | 20:23 |
| jrib | hharvey: don't know then. Can you pastebin the exact error you are getting and the output of dmesg afterwards? Does the drive work for unencrypted DVDs? | 20:23 |
| jabagawee | BriteLeaf, what seems to be the problem? | 20:24 |
| OptimismPrime | @jabagawee: it's a realy old laptop that can neither use USB bootdevices nor read burned CDs on the internal CD-Rom | 20:24 |
| === Tange2 is now known as fourwheels | ||
| goat|lappy | paul68: you would just add to the header, apt-get install prog1 prog2 prog3 | 20:24 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: no sorry | 20:24 |
| BriteLeaf | I have done everythiung that site said to fix my video resolution, but the commands it has me do just resets up the keyboard. Any ideas? | 20:24 |
| OptimismPrime | the only way to get any kind of data into it is via a USB Ethernet-Card | 20:24 |
| goat|lappy | paul68: http://www.hsrl.rutgers.edu/ug/shell_help.html | 20:24 |
| hharvey | jrib: I get the same unable to mount location with all DVD formatted discs | 20:24 |
| jabagawee | OptimismPrime, mm, so you have reasons. yeah, i dont really have any experience with floppies. beyond my time :P | 20:24 |
| jrib | hharvey: CDs too? | 20:25 |
| OptimismPrime | hehe | 20:25 |
| jabagawee | OptimismPrime, if you had the patience, i guess you could do a pxe boot + tftp server | 20:25 |
| OptimismPrime | there is no way to network boot | 20:25 |
| ortsvorsteher | BriteLeaf: may you like to fix your video resolution over "sudo displayconfig-gtk" in an terminal? | 20:25 |
| jabagawee | never mind that then | 20:25 |
| hharvey | jrib: no just dvd | 20:25 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: I'm still learning to make everything working and a bigtime newby | 20:25 |
| OptimismPrime | the network card is an external USB Ethernet card | 20:25 |
| OptimismPrime | no way to boot from it | 20:25 |
| jrib | hharvey: k, pastebin that info to see if we can find something interesting | 20:26 |
| goat|lappy | paul68: with time, alot can be learned | 20:26 |
| BriteLeaf | Basically I am getting 800 x 600 as my best res... I know I should get better. | 20:26 |
| BriteLeaf | I will try that ort | 20:26 |
| OptimismPrime | i just need to figure out where that "base-config" thing is....there is a linux running i chroot'ed into, it downloaded all the install files onto the laptop, all i need to know is how to get it start the installer | 20:27 |
| goat|lappy | paul68: i would read that link, and create a file in nano called initial_install_apps.sh or something, and in that file start with the #!/bin/bash part, thats the header i was talking about, then a couple lines down, the sudo apt-get part | 20:27 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: I'm aware of that the only problem I have is that I need an example to understand whats happening in a script | 20:27 |
| Ax-Ax | hello | 20:27 |
| mib_72oxjm | will try the alternate cd now | 20:27 |
| mib_72oxjm | hey jrib i wanna install ubuntu to my usb stick, will this work from the alternate install cd too? | 20:28 |
| jrib | mib_72oxjm: not sure, but did you see the guide on help.ubuntu.com? | 20:28 |
| mib_72oxjm | jrib: was trying to do it via the live cd, but cant but it | 20:28 |

| jrib | mib_72oxjm: I think there are instructions there on installing to usb | 20:29 |
| ortsvorsteher | BriteLeaf: okay | 20:29 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: ok how would I make the script check if the apps are correctly installed? | 20:29 |
| Ax-Ax | i'm running fluxbox, and it's nice and plain. but when i started some app all my interfaces changed to the gnome settings with rounded corners and such. can i reset that without restarting my computer? | 20:29 |
| jrib | hharvey: use paste.ubuntu.com instead of flooding me in a query please... | 20:29 |
| Batty4 | ortsvorsteher, if what I'm reading correctly won't work as I'm a windows box. :( http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-networking/60693-export-x-over-ssh.html suggests I need a local x server. | 20:29 |
| mib_72oxjm | no jrib what im asking is this: can i install TO a usb stick from the alternate too? its not possible usually but with a script from pendrivelinux.com | 20:29 |
| mib_72oxjm | question is will it work too from the alternate | 20:29 |
| sezitas | hi can someone help me? I have a problem with my internet connection in ubuntu 8.04 | 20:29 |

| soundray | mib_72oxjm: you should read the help page that ubottu sent. It has instructions for precisely your situation | 20:30 |
| ortsvorsteher | Batty4: thats true. you asked for vnc over ssh session? if you are on a windows box, there must be an local x server... | 20:30 |

| mib_72oxjm | could you send it again | 20:30 |
| angusthefuzz | Helminthe: correct, i read that it may be rolled into Xorg 7.4, but I thought there might be a way to do it with my current version | 20:30 |

| jahnkeanater | in windows my mouse turns off when it is booting | 20:31 |

| mbrigdan | can anyone help me, for some reason hardy seems to be locking up really often now, I didn't even add or remove any hardware. My syslog gives some messages about eth0 going into and out of promiscuous mode, then it records my hard restart, which implies that it was still working at the time it froze, but just wasn't responding. Anyone know what I could do? | 20:40 |

| goat|lappy | paul68: i can see setting up a simple script to get all that you want installed, i could even make it pretty quickly, but for the FF plugins, you may want to make a default profile for firefox, and then tar up the .mozilla directory, and that could be packaged and untarred in the installer | 20:42 |

| mauricio | HP Pavillion dv5000 | 20:42 |
| After_Math | mbrigdan, you can do as Aeonis said, and you can also disable the wireless by holding down the [fn] button and f2 | 20:43 |
| BriteLeaf | that web site is where I have been, but thanks ort | 20:43 |
| goat|lappy | mauricio: usually there is a laptop hardware wireless switch, do you know of one for your laptop? | 20:43 |
| BriteLeaf | sorry... bobertdos | 20:43 |
| mbrigdan | After_Math: Its not wireless, its a built-in ethernet card | 20:43 |
| ShinobiTeno | anyone? | 20:43 |
| nivin | jrib, now video card is not detecting now i installed earlier and it was working | 20:43 |
| Aeonis | !chmod | 20:43 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 20:43 |
| ShinobiTeno | cmmon! no one uses termina? | 20:43 |
| bobertdos | BriteLeaf: What card do you have? | 20:43 |
| paul68 | goat|lappy: ok I understand if you could help me out without the firefox plugins it would be great just a sample would be highly appreciated | 20:43 |
| Riovane | How do i find out what vrsion of UBUNTU I have via commandline? | 20:43 |
| After_Math | mbrigdan, ah ok, then you will have to do it in bios, or just disable it in network manager if you can get that far :) | 20:43 |
| ShinobiTeno | teminal* | 20:44 |
| mauricio | are talking about a switch in thr laptop hardware? | 20:44 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, I use terminal | 20:44 |
| goat|lappy | mauricio: yes | 20:44 |
| bobertdos | Riovane: lsb_release -a | 20:44 |
| mauricio | if positive there is a hardware switch | 20:44 |
| Pickl3 | hello, i was wondering if someone could help me out, i have a failed management system | 20:44 |
| maszlo | can i get some help with adding the user www-data permissions to my super user? using the gui i do not see a group for the user www-data and did not know where to go from here. | 20:44 |
| bobertdos | ShinobiTeno: What do you need to do? | 20:44 |
| After_Math | goat|lappy, his problem isnt with wireless | 20:44 |
| mauricio | when i press it | 20:45 |
| ShinobiTeno | after_math, do you know how to make nautilus open .sh and run it in terminal? | 20:45 |
| mauricio | the log appears | 20:45 |
| BriteLeaf | bobertdos: ATI Radeon X1650 | 20:45 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, adding "gnome_terminal" as assoc didnt do it. | 20:45 |
| mauricio | Oct 19 16:48:29 MahaDeva kernel: [ 933.143285] iwl3945: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: | 20:46 |
| maszlo | what i am trying to accomplish is have my super user have read write access to files that are owned by www-data user | 20:46 |
| mbrigdan | After_Math: Well, my problem here is that I can't be sure if thats whats causing the problem, because I get all sorts of stuff that happens in the syslog that doesn't appear to do anything. | 20:46 |
| bobertdos | ShinobiTeno: It would probably be better to leave Nautilus out of it and use the terminal entirely. | 20:46 |
| mauricio | Oct 19 16:48:29 MahaDeva kernel: [ 933.143291] Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. | 20:46 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, did you try right clicking it and opening it with terminal? with the 'open with other application' optin | 20:46 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, thats exactly it tried. | 20:46 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, empty terminal opens. | 20:47 |
| bobertdos | BriteLeaf: Which drivers are you using? | 20:47 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, why do you want to do it that way anyway? | 20:47 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, further no action. | 20:47 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, give me one second, let me try something | 20:47 |
| Aeonis | !chown | 20:47 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, getting around with shell programming... | 20:47 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 20:47 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, well its not that hard, ./file | 20:47 |
| BriteLeaf | fglrx? I've tried open sorce and proprietary both | 20:47 |
| hharvey | i am having trouble with my dvd drive. I installed libdvdcss2 and everytime I try to watch or load a dvd, I get the same "Unable to mount location: No media in drive" error. This only happens to DVD formated discs and not regular CDs. I posted the result from my dmesg on pastebin; url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/59820/ | 20:47 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, you mean "gnome-terminal ./"? | 20:48 |
| maszlo | Aeonis: was the syntax of chown a hint for me? | 20:48 |
| After_Math | mbrigdan, well if I were you I would backup my stuff and do a fresh install | 20:48 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, no, inside the terminal, but ima try a few things | 20:48 |
| Aeonis | no maszlo. I have a second harddrive that I FINALLY got mounted, but now I dont' have permissions to do antyhing to it, so I'm trying tofigure out how to access it. | 20:48 |
| Aeonis | sorry if I offended. I am very new to this "Linux" | 20:48 |
| Techboy | So I need to upgrade to PHP 5.2.6 for a bug-fix in sockets, but when i do apt-get it says it has none to get, how should i upgrade? | 20:49 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, thx i know. Im just trying to make naut. lauch sh on click..( | 20:49 |
| Techboy | must i compile source? | 20:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: you need to add a uid option to it | 20:49 |
| maszlo | Aeonis: not i was looking for guidance on the groups/ permissions.. i can help you with the hdd | 20:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !mount | Aeonis | 20:49 |
| ubottu | Aeonis: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 20:49 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: Do you also have libdvdread3 installed? | 20:50 |
| Strider22 | my cat walked on my keyboard & now my screen is in a visually impaired mode. Everything is huge & the screen follows the cursor around. How do I get to normal? Can someone even tell me what that mode is called so I can search the web for it. I've been trying the whole time. | 20:50 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, best if in a terminal also. | 20:50 |
| mauricio | some could help in wifi? | 20:50 |
| vexue | anyone know how to exctract a daa file or convert to iso? | 20:50 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: yes I do | 20:50 |
| LjL | Techboy: that would currently be the only way, but it's generally speaking a pretty bad idea to install something, especially a language interpreter, like that... | 20:50 |
| Misterjos | whats the best way to set my storage HD's in standby with hdparm on startup? can i use /etc/hdparm.conf to set standby time at bootup, or do i need a script? | 20:50 |
| Strider22 | I can only read 4 words at a time. | 20:50 |
| maszlo | Aeonis: did you mount the drive manually or did you mount if through nautilus? | 20:50 |
| Aeonis | manually. What is Nautilus? Better than GParted? | 20:51 |
| LjL | !backports | Techboy, you may request a backport | 20:51 |
| ubottu | Techboy, you may request a backport: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 20:51 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: Which player are you using? | 20:51 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, well I dont know if you want to do this but open a terminal, just drap and drop the .py file and hit enter, thats pretty easy | 20:51 |
| mbrigdan | After_Math: Really? I'm just going to try waiting until Intrepid comes out, or see if it fixes its-self (It randomly started, maybe it will stop just as quickly and mysteriously) | 20:51 |
| Scunizi | Strider22: the fix will probably be under System/Preferences/Assistive Technologies.. beyond that .. maybe have the cat walk across it again :) | 20:51 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: vlc | 20:51 |
| maszlo | Aeonis: its the filemanager .. not the same thing as gparted | 20:51 |
| \Kira | Im trying to configure kubuntu's boot, but Im unfamiliar with the boot sequence. I think it goes: GRUB, Usplash, kdm, then my login splash. But on kdelook it has options for the bootsplash and gfxboot. Were are those in the sequence? | 20:51 |
| Techboy | ah I see. thanks | 20:52 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, hmm any way to do same with left-click in nautilus? | 20:52 |
| LjL | Techboy: but it's probably unlikely they'd backport an interpreter. another possibility, which should still be better than compiling from a tarball, would be to compile from the Intrepid package (add Intrepid source repository to sources.list, "sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get build-dep php5", "sudo apt-get --build source php5") | 20:52 |
| wortbit | where does the default pdf printer of ubuntu stores the pdf? | 20:52 |
| Aeonis | is it good to use maszlo ? | 20:52 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, i need this stuff( | 20:52 |
| After_Math | mbrigdan, are you suing the beta right now? | 20:52 |
| maszlo | Aeonis: so you have the drive formated and then mounted it fia the mount /dev /folder syntax? | 20:52 |
| mbrigdan | After_Math: Nope, I'm using Hardy | 20:52 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: hmm, try something else, like mplayer or totem-xine perhaps | 20:52 |
| mauricio | goat|lappy: some idea? | 20:52 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, as far as I know , I dont think you can. BUt maybe someone else in here can help. DId you search the web? | 20:52 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, well thanks for the idea!) | 20:52 |
| Scunizi | wortbit: it's under /home/<username>/pdf | 20:52 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, yep of course | 20:52 |
| nivin | How to configure myth tv? | 20:52 |
| maszlo | Aeonis: nautilus is the application that you view your files, for example places _ Home | 20:53 |
| Scunizi | wortbit: or Places/HomeFolder/PDF | 20:53 |
| Aeonis | ahhh...I don't know if I have that maszlo | 20:53 |
| wortbit | Scunizi: thaks! was ~/PDF ;-) | 20:53 |
| goat|lappy | mauricio: sorry, no, after_math was starting with something, but I'm not sure what he was alluding to | 20:53 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: still nothing | 20:53 |
| Techboy | LjL, Intrepid sounds like good idea to me. Thanks | 20:54 |
| Scunizi | wortbit: didn't know if you knew what ~ was so I "elongated" it :) | 20:54 |
| After_Math | mbrigdan, well the beta fully supports my wireless card now which is nice because I had to use hacked one before, And here are always updated versions of the beta day by day, and you can use a newer one, and all the updates till the final release will be the same thing as the final release | 20:54 |
| Misterjos | whats the best way to set my storage HD's in standby with hdparm on startup? can i use /etc/hdparm.conf to set standby time at bootup, or do i need a script? | 20:54 |
| After_Math | mbrigdan, I would suggest using the beta | 20:54 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: I cant even access the drive itself | 20:54 |
| wortbit | Scunizi: ;-) I know what you mean. | 20:54 |
| maszlo | Aeonis: its standard in ubuntu.. its actaully besides the point.. was just stating that its differnt than gparted. what all have you done to get this second drive setup? | 20:54 |
| mbrigdan | After_Math: So you would say that the Beta of Intrepid is stable enough to use? | 20:54 |
| After_Math | mauricio, goat|lappy whats the question? | 20:55 |
| Techboy | LjL: http://git.debian.org/ being the source repository? | 20:55 |
| tom | i installed ubuntu 8.04.1 on powerpc and now it doesn't boot. it simply displays a white screen. i cannot ctrl+option+f1, and i cannot boot mac os x. any ideas what to do? | 20:55 |
| ShinobiTeno | After_Math, maybe Ill just write a script to do this, put it to /usr/bin and add it to /usr/share/applications/opentermandrun.desktop) | 20:55 |
| Aeonis | I'm working with ActionParsnip maszlo. We got it going right now. I'm going to see what happens from here! If we can't figure it out, I'm going to find you and see what I can learn. | 20:55 |
| Stormx2 | mbrigdan, I upgraded about a fortnight ago and almost nothing worked properly. I ended up reinstalling gutsy | 20:55 |
| LjL | Techboy: no, no | 20:55 |
| After_Math | mbrigdan, well I wouldnt say stable, its still beta, but for me its been working fine, and has fixed my problem with my wireless, its your call thought ultimately | 20:55 |
| Scunizi | wortbit: the cups-pdf driver is a little weird.. if you need to change the size of the paper before printing you need to do it off the File/Page Setup menu of the program you're printing from. If you try to change the printer default properties while trying to print it won't work. Just FYI | 20:56 |
| After_Math | ShinobiTeno, lol I thought you wanted to get around shell scripting ^^ | 20:56 |
| dekkong | does anyone know why screen and graphics are hidden in usr/share/applications imo it's kinda dumb | 20:56 |
| nivin | please help me to configure myth tv | 20:56 |
| neorain | !list | 20:56 |

| maszlo | Aeonis: okay. send me a private.. im working on something as well might not catch it in the chat | 20:56 |
| Lordcorm | my synatic package manager is running in inactive mode, and when i close it, it still says it is when i try to use Add/Remove Apps | 20:56 |
| LjL | Techboy: deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main universe <- add this to sources.list | 20:56 |
| mmr | I have a problem. My screen is currently set to 1280x1024 50hz, I want it to have 60hz but when i type "sudo displayconfig-gtk" and change the model to Generic Monitor 1280x1024 60hz etc and click OK and restart, the settings are reset back to 50hz. | 20:56 |
| Aeonis | gotcha maszlo~ | 20:57 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: any suggestions? | 20:57 |
| sv2asj | hi | 20:57 |
| neorain | hi all | 20:57 |
| Techboy | LjL: Ah thanks | 20:57 |
| nivin | please help me to configure myth tv | 20:57 |
| Scunizi | mmr: I think generic will only do 50hz.. it's the safest mode for an lcd that has not reported to the driver what it's capable of.. | 20:57 |
| dtech | mmr: how did you get displayconfig-gtk to run? | 20:58 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: So, the drive isn't even mounted? | 20:58 |
| ortsvorsteher | dtech: open a terminal and type "sudo displayconfig-gtk" | 20:58 |
| cwill747 | ok i tried everything i could do to fix my grub error 17, is there any way to just completely re-install grub? | 20:58 |
| Scunizi | mmr: if you have an nvidia card you might try nvidia-settings to make the change.. do it from terminal and start it with sudo nvidia-settings then save the changes to the xorg file. | 20:58 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: the drive mounts when I put in a CD, but any other time, it says Unable to mount | 20:58 |
| mmr | Scunizi, I choosed Generic as manufacturer and LCD Panel 1280x1024 as model | 20:59 |
| nivin | Caanot login to database | 20:59 |
| mmr | I did that too | 20:59 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: im running on a laptop | 20:59 |
| mmr | but same problem.. didnt work | 20:59 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: it has an internal cd/dvd/blu-ray drive | 20:59 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: well yeah......So, in VLC's options, what is the device path set to for DVD playback? | 21:00 |
| After_Math | !sudo | ortsvorsteher, | 21:00 |
| ubottu | ortsvorsteher,: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 21:00 |
| Scunizi | mmr: mine is "generic" also and set to 50hz. I don't even have a 60hz option but I do have a 51hz option. (like that would make a huge difference.) I haven't noticed any flickering. | 21:00 |
| dtech | ERROR: cannot open displat | 21:00 |
| LjL | where would be the right place to start "setxkbmap" and "xkbset" (or do you have any better ways of enabling the "bounce keys" feature)? | 21:00 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: /dev/scd0 | 21:01 |
| dtech | ortsvorsteher: doesn't run on my os? | 21:01 |
| RichW | ive recompiled a kernel module, how can i tell if i am running my modified kernel module? | 21:01 |
| ortsvorsteher | dtech: which one you have? | 21:01 |
| dtech | hardy 8.04.1 | 21:01 |
| Lordcorm | ugghhh, when my package manager freezes, it makes me restart my compy before i can open it again, what other process do i have to close to make it completely stop? | 21:01 |
| neorain | xdcc list After_Math | 21:01 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: Okay, now compare that to what's in /etc/fstab. Pastebin the file and give us the link if you so desire. | 21:01 |
| ortsvorsteher | dtech: kubuntu? xubuntu? ubuntu? | 21:02 |
| mmr | Scunizi, but still.. I want to use 60hz since my monitor can do that.. not 50hz / | 21:02 |
| mangojambo | hi there ... I did a crapy here ... I did install the .deb flashplugin10 file from adobe website on hardy 64 with --force-architecture ... now it is not working, I don't know how to uninstall and when I try to install flash 9 I get this error : http://pasteall.org/2883 ... So, How can I fix it ? | 21:02 |
| After_Math | neorain, ? | 21:02 |
| neorain | yeah | 21:02 |
| dtech | ubuntu 8.04.1 hardy | 21:02 |
| tr-33 | Hello, I have a computer running ubuntu-server, and I am unable to access the internet. I can't not download any updates, but I can SSH into the box and out of the box. | 21:03 |
| neorain | sorry wrong list | 21:03 |
| cwill747 | why is my GRUB not working? i got grub error 21 after taking out a hard drive from my comp, then tried to fix it, and now i get grub error 17 | 21:03 |
| After_Math | neorain, what are you trying to do? | 21:03 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59829/ | 21:03 |
| neorain | After_Math>sorry wrong list | 21:03 |
| neorain | After_Math> sorry wrong list | 21:03 |
| After_Math | neorain, who has xdcc on? :) | 21:03 |
| \Kira | cwill747: did you check what those errors mean? | 21:03 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: honestly I dont know what Im looking for | 21:03 |
| Scunizi | mmr: mine is also capable of 60hz.. I gave up trying to change it because 50hz works fine for me even for games, and it was taking too much time to find a solution.. just because it's capable doesn't mean you have to use it. | 21:03 |
| neorain | xdcc is going to list all the file of the users | 21:03 |
| ortsvorsteher | dtech: i have the sam running on my laptop, here it works. do you get an error message? | 21:03 |
| bobertdos | mangojambo: try (in the terminal) sudo dpkg -P adobe-flashplugin (or player, can't remember which) | 21:03 |
| cwill747 | \Kira: yeah, i did. and i tried everything i could to fix them | 21:03 |
| neorain | if you have any fserv | 21:03 |
| After_Math | neorain, well only for those who are running that plugin | 21:04 |
| dtech | yep! ... fresh "alt" install | 21:04 |
| mmr | Scunizi, yeah but i dont think its good for the eyes when sitting much in front of the computer | 21:04 |
| \Kira | cwill747: well, im not to experienced with stuff like that, I was just making sure you didnt just try random stuff :D | 21:04 |
| neorain | yep | 21:04 |
| \Kira | cwill747: sorry I cant help | 21:04 |
| cwill747 | \Kira: yeah, i just can't seem to fix it. it's alright | 21:04 |
| neorain | oki catch him | 21:04 |
| Scunizi | mmr: that might have been true with CRT's but I sit at the monitor for hours on end.. haven't noticed | 21:05 |
| wegstar_ | hello all, my wireless connection cannot seem to activate when I boot into the open box window manager. It works when I boot into GNOME or XFCE.. is there something that both the window managers run beforehand which makes the connection work? | 21:05 |
| After_Math | neorain, catch who | 21:05 |
| cwill747 | is there any way to get around grub and just boot from my drive? | 21:05 |
| neorain | any black list | 21:05 |
| neorain | it's my job | 21:05 |
| Flare183 | !ot | 21:05 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:05 |
| After_Math | neorain, oh | 21:05 |
| Flare183 | (again_ | 21:05 |
| neorain | sorry cath it | 21:05 |
| neorain | catch it | 21:05 |
| Scunizi | cwill747: you could use a different boot manager but there will always be a boot manager there.. even windows has one.. are you really asking how to boot into the system without the need for a user name and password? | 21:06 |
| nivin | Thanks to all | 21:06 |
| After_Math | cwill747, are you dual booting | 21:06 |
| nivin | good night | 21:06 |
| Flare183 | good night nivin | 21:06 |
| neorain | good night all | 21:06 |
| cwill747 | After_Math: yeah, linux and windows, but grub won't even work | 21:06 |
| Flare183 | Night neorain | 21:06 |
| After_Math | cwill747, typically grub is what boots you into your hard drive | 21:06 |
| dtech | gotta go grill some chicken be back in a half hour | 21:06 |
| cwill747 | Scunizi: yeah but i can't boot into a OS to change it | 21:06 |
| cwill747 | After_Math: yeah but i can't access it, i keep getting grub error 17 | 21:07 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: is there anything I should notice? | 21:07 |
| After_Math | cwill747, use the livecd and edit the grub file then | 21:07 |
| nivin | good night Flare183 | 21:07 |
| nivin | good night all | 21:07 |
| Flare183 | nivin: night | 21:07 |
| cwill747 | After_Math: tried that too, i've tried every combination of hard drives as install points | 21:07 |
| sn007ake | Hello all | 21:07 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: I'm not really seeing any major problems offhand........ | 21:07 |
| cwill747 | !hi | sn007ake | 21:07 |
| ubottu | sn007ake: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 21:07 |
| Flare183 | !hi | sn007ake | 21:07 |
| Flare183 | hehe | 21:07 |
| cwill747 | haha, beat you to it | 21:07 |
| After_Math | cwill747, was it working previuosly, or did you just install ubuntu | 21:07 |
| Flare183 | cwill747: idc | 21:07 |
| sn007ake | WHat is the Easyest quickest way to configure your 3d grafix to tweak it out? ( what program basicly ) | 21:07 |
| Flare183 | sn007ake: I don't understand what you are asking. | 21:08 |
| cwill747 | After_Math: was working previously. I disconnected a hard drive, and suddenly grub stopped working. the hard drive didn't have grub on it, or linux. it was just a NTFS drive | 21:08 |

| C0p3rn1c | jrib: I was kindof hoping that you guys would know a great one so that I don't have to try them all | 21:41 |

| Clockswork | msg Supersaiyan_IV Nya BIOS :D | 21:41 |
| soundray | techsupport: is your drive partitioned? | 21:41 |
| Aeonis | pretty sure jrib. It's a second hard drive that is empty. | 21:41 |
| Riovane | Hello | 21:41 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: ok so off to live cd | 21:41 |
| Riovane | I have a permissions problem. can anyone help me? | 21:41 |
| jrib | Aeonis: pastebin the output of 'mount; sudo fdisk -l' | 21:41 |
| jrib | Riovane: best to just ask the channel your question | 21:41 |
| C0p3rn1c | jrib: k thx, but I still have to find out how to make wget create multiple connections to the server | 21:42 |
| Riovane | jrib: ok | 21:42 |
| C0p3rn1c | then | 21:42 |
| jrib | C0p3rn1c: why bother :/ | 21:42 |
| techsupport | soundray, i did sudo fdisk /dev/sdb before, and did write and exit after creating 1 partition | 21:42 |
| Clockswork | Supersaiyan_IV: New Bios :) And everything works :D | 21:42 |
| chaosrl | hey, i've got a question. when i issue a command scp "somefile.doc" jeff@lenovomon:Desktop/, i get back ssh: lenovomon: host/servname not known, where in my normal terminal it shows "jeff@lenovomon:~$" am i doing something wrong? | 21:42 |
| jrib | C0p3rn1c: anyway, axel is a program that does that. So maybe you can get flashgot to work with axel | 21:42 |
| Aeonis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/59850/ | 21:42 |
| C0p3rn1c | jrib: maybe | 21:43 |
| Riovane | When I try to open firefox as normal user it does not open, though it does for super-user | 21:43 |
| Aeonis | jrib - I posted it | 21:43 |
| soundray | techsupport: then you should give mkntfs the device name of your partition, probably /dev/sdb1 (rather than the device name of the entire drive) | 21:43 |
| Riovane | How can I fix this | 21:43 |
| dtech | soundray: well, sort of? ... the video card in this old Compaq laptop has only 2 megs of memory and the default driver config starts in a color depth of 24. for me to see anything but scrambled graphics I need to edit the xorg.conf "DefaultDepth=24" to "DefaultDepth=16". ther seems no way of doing that from the GUI utility. | 21:43 |
| bobertdos | Riovane: Is Firefox the only application where this is a problem? | 21:43 |
| soundray | Riovane: running 'sudo firefox' breaks firefox. Try 'sudo mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-config-junk' and try again. | 21:44 |
| jrib | Aeonis: k, you're right. The names just got shuffled around. Now, the "iocharset=utf8,unmask=003 | 21:44 |
| DavidCanarias | I am having a few problems copying DVD's can anyone help me please?? | 21:44 |
| techsupport | soundray, fdisk tells me that the partition type i created has id 83 and system is Linux , will i still be able to format it as ntfs with makntfs ? | 21:44 |
| jrib | Aeonis: k, you're right. The names just got shuffled around. Now, the "iocharset=utf8,unmask=003" options are not valid for ext3. So change that to just "defaults" | 21:44 |
| freebsd_fan_ | how do i install vpn to ubuntu using hte cd? | 21:44 |
| bobertdos | soundray: Ah, that's probably a better idea than what I was having him do earlier. | 21:45 |
| Aeonis | so change it to "iocharset=defaults,unmask=defaults" jrib? | 21:45 |
| soundray | techsupport: you can hit 't' in fdisk to change the partition id | 21:45 |
| DavidCanarias | Is anyone using libdvdcss2 successfully for copying DVDs | 21:45 |
| jrib | Aeonis: no. Delete "iocharset=defaults,unmask=003" and put "defaults" in its place | 21:45 |
| techsupport | soundray, ok thanx, which id # is best for NTFS ? | 21:45 |
| jrib | DavidCanarias: I'm sure many people are | 21:45 |
| soundray | bobertdos: the firefox one? | 21:45 |
| soundray | techsupport: I don't know. Look through the list for HPFS or HPFS/NTFS | 21:46 |
| MTecknology | where did my pidgin settings go :( | 21:46 |
| Aeonis | I'm sorry jrib, I don't understand. I'm very new to this. So I just do "/dev/sda1 /media/storage defaults"? | 21:46 |
| DavidCanarias | jrib: I have copied DVDs OK and duplicated, but I can't do it successfully now. Any idea why? | 21:46 |
| bobertdos | soundray: Yeah, I thought of that other guy we had the other week that screwed up his Xauthority, so I was having him check that too. | 21:46 |
| soundray | dtech: I see. I find the GUI utility quite limiting, too. I hear that intrepid has a better solution to the X config problem. | 21:47 |
| nn-main | hi it seems that the installer for grub is not working properly :: error :::: the 'grub' package failed to install into /target/. ????? Im used to gentoo not ubuntu how to I work around this bug | 21:47 |
| DJSBX_ | Hello? | 21:47 |
| jrib | Aeonis: yes, that's what I said so far. But you need to make more changes. You need to replace "/dev/sda1" with the UUID for that partition. And the last two fields should be "0" and "2". If you pastebin the output of 'sudo blkid', I'll pastebin the line you need to end up with | 21:47 |
| dtech | soundray: Intrepid? do tell! ... what is that? | 21:48 |
| DJSBX_ | I need a bit of help with installing phpbb2 on my ubuntu server machine | 21:48 |

| nn-main | any ideas ???? this bootloader thing has got me stumped ? | 21:48 |
| dtech | oh ... now I'm in suspense! ... great! | 21:49 |
| bobertdos | dtech: I don't think he knows specifically (neither do I) but I'm sure in about a week and a half, you'll find some new stuff in the repos. | 21:49 |
| Aeonis | jrib - http://paste.ubuntu.com/59851/ : Why do I have to use the UUID? | 21:49 |
| chaosrl | does anyone know if using the "hostname" command in terminal gives the correct hostname for use in ssh? | 21:50 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Clockswork, glad it works :) | 21:50 |

| squarebracket | i'm using nx, and for some reason linux keeps thinks the windows are hanging, so it greys them out when they shouldn't be, is there any way to get around this? | 21:50 |
| dtech | I found that even if I set a 'custom' configuration in the GTK conf GUI ... I only get a stock xorg.conf? ... Is that by design, and where might the custom setting get placed? | 21:50 |
| Aeonis | good point jrib. I have yet another HD I want to add for kicks. I want to see if I can install Warhammer on Ubuntu so I can play with some friends. | 21:51 |
| Supersaiyan_IV | Clockswork, my GPU idles around 45C after undervolt | 21:51 |
| happosade | with what I can make torrent whit CLI? | 21:51 |
| jrib | chaosrl: I suppose you would have to have your hostname in /etc/hosts pointing to 127.0.0.1 (or 127.0.1.1) | 21:51 |

| mick02 | alright node | 21:54 |
| Aeonis | not yet. | 21:54 |
| jrib | happosade: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/rtorrent/rtorrent.1.html you basically just start it and give it a .torrent file to download | 21:54 |
| Aeonis | I was trying to add that and got some thing | 21:54 |
| genius | how to make autologin for server version so it shows command line w/o password asking? | 21:54 |
| Aeonis | Then someone else said to use the UUID in case I change anything around. I will probably add another drive on here to install a game on and wasn't sure if that would affect all the hard work ActionParsnip. | 21:55 |
| Riovane | Why when I set "Control i" to open gnome-terminal a little window pops up that is useless? | 21:55 |
| chaosrl | jrib: i don't have a /etc/hosts folder? | 21:55 |
| jrib | Aeonis: ack, I forgot to put "ext3" in my paste. Do you see that? | 21:55 |
| jrib | chaosrl: it's a file | 21:55 |
| Aeonis | where jrib? I didn't see a link yet. | 21:55 |
| ronzilla_ | how can i rename a hard drive? | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | genius: why do you want autologin. all services will start without logging in | 21:55 |

| ShinobiTen1 | hello* | 21:57 |
| Riovane | Hey--- Why when I set 'key' "Control i" to open gnome-terminal a little window pops up that is useless? | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | genius: i know it in the x server, but not cli | 21:58 |
| Aeonis | hey jrib - That link was to rename a usb drive. Is that right? This drive is an internal SATA drive. The other one that Ubuntu is isntalled on is IDE and the 3rd I may do later is also IDE. | 21:58 |
| chaosrl | jrib: i have two different names for 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1, the one for 127.0.1.1 doesn't work and the other prompts for a pw that i'm not sure i know | 21:58 |
| jrib | Aeonis: I just gave you a link to a pastebin, nothing about renaming usb drives | 21:59 |
| dimm | hello! what can i do if i need for openssl.pc but in my distro (dapper) there not this file? | 21:59 |
| genius | ActionParsnip: it's easy in GDM | 21:59 |
| jrib | chaosrl: be more specific. You lost me. | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | genius: absolutely | 21:59 |
| Aeonis | oh...so jrib - I just put that in my fstab? | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | genius: but x server is a bad for servers | 21:59 |
| jrib | Aeonis: yeah | 22:00 |
| genius | ActionParsnip: i don't use it | 22:00 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: i loaded from the live cd and entered sudo mount | 22:00 |
| hharvey | im going to post on pastebin wat it said | 22:00 |
| Aeonis | jrib...I'm calling Witchcraft on that. | 22:00 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: okay | 22:00 |
| jrib | Aeonis: hmm? | 22:01 |
| Aeonis | it was a joke. Making reference to hte olden days when people feared the wise and killed them... | 22:01 |
| Aeonis | because their ways worked. | 22:01 |
| hharvey | bobertdos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59857/ | 22:01 |
| jrib | Aeonis: right, but it shouldn't have worked yet :) | 22:01 |
| chaosrl | jrib: i have the hostname "localhost" for 127.0.0.1, but when i plug that into "scp "somefile.doc" jeff@localhost:Desktop/" it prompts me for a password, which is not my normal login password | 22:02 |
| Aeonis | nope. | 22:02 |
| Aeonis | Okay, now that is entered, I have to mount that drive? | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Aeonis: you are learning yur system though | 22:02 |
| jrib | chaosrl: it should be the user jeff's password | 22:02 |
| MTecknology | jrib: That feature is REALLY awesome. So I can symlink my virtual machines there and just connect my external hd before running :D | 22:02 |
| Aeonis | little by little, yes ActionParsnip! This is very fun btw! | 22:03 |
| jrib | Aeonis: does /media/storage exist yet? | 22:03 |
| === Wayfaring_Spirit is now known as Step-Striver-4-L | ||
| Aeonis | yes. I can cd into it. | 22:04 |
| chaosrl | jrib: well, when i open terminal, i have "jeff@lenovomon:~$", but when i try to scp to jeff@lenovomon, it says that the "host/servname not found". i just "sudo passwd" and reset the password, but it still wont take it as localhost, root or jeff | 22:04 |
| DjViper | installing X and gnome on a ubuntu server, how do I proceed? | 22:04 |
| jrib | chaosrl: ok. Lets troubleshoot a single case. What happens when you do 'ssh localhost'? | 22:04 |
| ShinobiTen1 | so, theres no GPLed "chm" exquivalent..? | 22:05 |
| jrib | Aeonis: now just run 'sudo mount /dev/sda1' | 22:05 |
| dimm | can i look for the content of package in the repository? | 22:06 |
| chaosrl | jrib: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused | 22:06 |
| jrib | dimm: packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file to search package contents | 22:06 |
| Blinkiz | I have messed up. I have fiddled with grub and in some way, with the help of parted of course, lost the partition on one of my harddrive. Does it exist a program that can restore this partition= | 22:06 |
| Blinkiz | ? its ext3 | 22:06 |
| Aeonis | okay...well, ActionParsnip and I got this far earlier jrib, but problem is that I don't have access to do anything to that drive. | 22:06 |
| jrib | chaosrl: did you install openssh-server? | 22:06 |
| bobertdos | hharvey: Okay, not helpful in the way I was wanting, but the other interesting thing would be to try DVD's from the livecd (if you have enough RAM to install some packages). | 22:07 |
| jrib | Aeonis: you need to set permissions. How will you be using the drive? (multiple users, etc.) | 22:07 |
| chaosrl | jrib: i thought i did but asking it to install shows that i didn't | 22:07 |
| jrib | !permissions > Aeonis | 22:07 |
| ubottu | Aeonis, please see my private message | 22:07 |
| bobertdos | too bad you don't have another drive though | 22:07 |
| DjViper | does anyone know if I need to have Xserver/gnome installed to use FreeNX on a server? | 22:07 |
| chaosrl | jrib: now when i use "ssh localhost" it prompts me for a password | 22:07 |
| dulak | DjViper: yes freenx is just a way to connect to X securely | 22:07 |
| jrib | chaosrl: your user's password (assuming you ran that as your user) | 22:07 |
| Aeonis | jrib - yes on the multiple users. Just myself and me lady. | 22:08 |
| DjViper | dulak: yes, thought so, so previous question, how do I install x and gnome from scratch? | 22:08 |
| dulak | DjViper: you can install the meta package ubuntu-desktop for gnome and X | 22:08 |
| DjViper | hmm okay | 22:08 |
| chaosrl | jrib: when i use my user's pw, it brings me back to a prompt (after some stuff about ubuntu being free software, etc) with jeff@lenovomon:~$ | 22:08 |

| jrib | Aeonis: take a look at ubottu's link. You have some options as to how you set up the permissions. Feel free to poke me if you are stuck | 22:09 |
| Aeonis | gotcha jrib. | 22:09 |
| chaosrl | jrib: ah, i see. after logging into my university account via ssh, the command "scp "something.doc" jeff@localhost:Desktop/" still prompts for a password that isn't my user's password | 22:10 |

| guntbert | chaosrl: what are you actually trying to accomplish? | 22:12 |
| tj13820 | ActionParsnip: like what? | 22:12 |

| chaosrl | jrib: yeah, it still didn't work | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | tj13820: no you need to open it from vlc | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | tj13820: amarok / banshee may be helpful too | 22:13 |
| chaosrl | dulak: i don't believe so. i'm connected wirelessly via a netgear router | 22:13 |
| jrib | chaosrl: then dulak is probably on the right track with a firewall/router issue, listen to him | 22:14 |
| dulak | chaosrl: the netgear is a firewall, you would have to forward the ssh port from the netgear to the linux machine | 22:14 |
| chaosrl | jrib: alright, thanks for your help! | 22:14 |
| tj13820 | ActionParsnip: that could be hard... All files in the ipod are encoded and not stored in "Movies" or anything of the sort | 22:14 |
| ShinobiTen1 | anyone aware "chm" equivalent on linux exists? | 22:14 |

| ActionParsnip | chaosrl: you can ssh to any amount you want | 22:17 |
| turista | ahoj | 22:17 |

| [Gloom] | guys, to configure a firewall in hardy server, ufw or iptables? | 22:19 |

| kri | ActionParsnip: do play an internet game (money involved) | 22:21 |

I recently moved from 32bit ubuntu server to a 64 bit version, and I'm trying to load up my raid5 array that I'd built in the old install. when I try and mount it, I'm getting errors about there being no superblock, but mdadm --examine /dev/xxx where xxx is any of the partitions in the array looks clean. | 22:21 |

| ratpoison | hello! 8.04 amd64 user. How does the "preload" daemon function? Does it need any tweaking for it to work? Is the extra RAM really worth the speed boost? Is the fact that it runs as root a security risk worth my attention? | 22:22 |
| Xavura | Where did my sound go for flash, it works for everything else just flash videos have no sound | 22:22 |
| kri | fluffycloud12345: a hypervisor? you mean like vmware? | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | kri: im guessing you need shockwave player | 22:22 |
| Xavura | and they used to have sound and work just fine until now | 22:22 |

| ActionParsnip | kri: firefox is the same in win and linux | 22:23 |
| dulak | ActionParsnip: you can bridge virtualbox too, it's just routed by default | 22:24 |
| kri | ActionParsnip: no, they allow only windows | 22:24 |

| ActionParsnip | dulak: oic | 22:24 |
| kri | if you connect with ubuntu+firefox your not ident like windows | 22:24 |

| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 22:24 |

| Aeonis | back jrib and ActionParsnip - Question...what is best practice for adding a new group? I want to make one called "home", but I didn't know if that would conflict with anything. | 22:24 |
| tobiasu | kri: get a firefox plugin that changes the user agent | 22:24 |

| dulak | chaosrl: np | 22:25 |
| kri | tobiasu: where do i find that plugin? :) | 22:25 |

| Xavura | where the hell did my flash sound go | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !adduser | Aeonis | 22:25 |
| ubottu | Aeonis: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 22:25 |
| tobiasu | 22:25 | |
| dulak | kri: there is, it's called Bart's PE | 22:25 |
| jrib | Aeonis: should be fine. You can use System -> Administration -> User and Groups or the 'addgroup' command | 22:25 |
| merlin_ | Hi, someone can tell me how to read in a string way a byte[] ? (java) | 22:25 |

| baphomet | 'cause i can't install that shit | 22:33 |

| baphomet | that work with debin | 22:35 |
| baphomet | debian x | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Xavura: make sure you are using the right sound setings in your apps | 22:35 |
| jrib | Aeonis: nope. Here is what they mean: if you chmod 741 file. Then the 7 indicates USER permissions of 4(read) + 2(write) + 1(execute) permissions. The 4 is 4(read) for the GROUP. The 1(execute) is for OTHERS. | 22:35 |

| SpinachHead | Im not sure the cdrmo is being read properly | 22:38 |

| SpinachHead | dulak, it looked like the cdrom was added to souces but sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper says ccould find package..... or anyone that knows | 22:58 |
| Aeonis | What would you guys recommend for me to use so I can have multiple OS running while I'm in Ubuntu so I can practice my security stuff? | 22:58 |
| jrib | Aeonis: I like virtualbox | 22:58 |
| dulak | SpinachHead: is ndiswrapper on that cd? | 22:58 |
| ShinobiTen1 | Aeonis, XEN?=) | 22:59 |
| Aeonis | jrib - sudo apt-get virtual box? | 22:59 |
| Aeonis | ShinobiTen1: XEN? What's that? | 22:59 |
| nellery | Aeonis: sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 22:59 |
| dulak | !info ndiswrapper | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Package ndiswrapper does not exist in hardy | 22:59 |
| jrib | Aeonis: apt-cache search virtualbox, then sudo apt-get install PACKAGE where PACKAGE is the package you saw from the first command | 22:59 |
| Aeonis | I guess, I should ask what are the pros and cons? I have a core 2 duo processor and 2 gb of RAM | 22:59 |
| Aeonis | I may upgarde to 4 gb. | 22:59 |
| ShinobiTen1 | Aeonis, afaik virtualization system that allows to switch oses on the fly, with no main os. | 22:59 |
| Roland123 | why does system monitor show upload network speed to be 10x faster than it really is ? | 23:00 |
| dulak | SpinachHead: try apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils | 23:00 |
| nellery | !info ndiswrapper-common | 23:00 |
| ubottu | ndiswrapper-common (source: ndiswrapper): Common scripts required to use the utilities for ndiswrapper. In component main, is optional. Version 1.50-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 11 kB, installed size 92 kB | 23:00 |
| Aeonis | ShinobiTen1: What do you mean? Like where I choose what OS i boot into, or I can be in Ubuntu and go into the other program and choose what OS I want to use? | 23:00 |
| nellery | ;) | 23:00 |
| ShinobiTen1 | Aeonis, heard it to be used in corporations. google plz. requires OS support, but should feet you purpose, if youre searching for a tool to make several oses run on one machine in parallel. | 23:00 |
| unop | Aeonis, virtualbox is a program that allows you to boot an OS directly within it - without you having to leave the main host OS at all | 23:01 |
| ShinobiTen1 | Lokian, Gimphoto. Gimpshop is based on pretty old interface. I do however find GIMP much prettier then psd. | 23:01 |
| unop | Aeonis, so that means you are essentially running another OS side by side with the host | 23:02 |
| ShinobiTen1 | Aeonis, xen is a virtual machine monitor for IA-32, x86, x86-64, IA-64 and PowerPC 970 architectures. It allows several guest operating systems to be executed on the same computer hardware concurrently. | 23:02 |

| ShinobiTen1 | Aeonis, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen | 23:02 |
| Aeonis | that's what I'm looking for unop...so I can turn it off when I'm not using it. I use VMWare at work. | 23:02 |
| Jowi | Hardy thinks I have two screens when I have only one. xorg.conf only got one screen section. this bugs out compiz | 23:02 |

| ollie | hi i need help my resolution wont go up i have tried everything talk 2 me privatly if you know | 23:02 |
| unop | Aeonis, right - exactly .. virtualbox is a bit like vmware | 23:02 |
| ollie | hi i need help my resolution wont go up i have tried everything talk 2 me privatly if you know | 23:02 |
| ShinobiTen1 | Aeonis, Xen is different from all that. XEN is a miniOS that allows running several oses in parallel and switch between them. | 23:03 |
| jrib | ollie: people are less likely to help you if you repeat like that | 23:03 |
| Aeonis | dang...now it's down to preference? | 23:03 |
| nellery | !flooding ollie | 23:03 |

| csilk | *conf | 23:30 |
| ollie | thx | 23:30 |
| csilk | MrD1, did Ubuntu tell you it has a video driver for you? | 23:30 |

| ollie | what does sudo: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: command not found mean? | 23:32 |
| After_Math | cwill747, ever figure out what the problem was? | 23:33 |
| csilk | ollie, why do you want to edit the x-server? | 23:33 |
| bobertdos | ollie: You have to use an editor like nano. So either type: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf or gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:33 |
| ollie | i am running gnome so why isnt it found? | 23:33 |
| jclbrt | ollie: it means it's not a command.... type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:33 |
| csilk | ollie, we could help you more if you tell us what your ultimate goal is, I'm not entirely sure you want to play with xorg.conf | 23:33 |

| ollie | thats what i should be getting | 23:35 |
| strAlan | K-O-D, I tried that but no one replying :( | 23:35 |
| After_Math | strAlan, I believe you are in it | 23:35 |
| SpinachHead | wait, so the cd has the ndiswrapper-commond but not the utils. so I cant use ndiswrapper then, right? | 23:35 |
| strAlan | K-O-D, thank you though | 23:35 |
| ollie | instead i am only getting 800 | 23:35 |

| Kitar88 | guys when is the next ubuntu coming | 23:35 |
| strAlan | K-O-D, I'll keep trying | 23:35 |
| dulak | SpinachHead: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 is the actual package name | 23:35 |
| Kitar88 | also does anyone speak japanese here ? | 23:35 |
| bobertdos | My gosh, I would have never even thought of those. I think the open source drivers are pretty much the only ones available for those, what do you think, guys? :p | 23:35 |

| After_Math | Kitar88, 2 weeks? | 23:36 |
| ollie | i find this confsing | 23:36 |
| magentar | in debian there's a program per default where i can login using GDM in a new window (i think using Xephyr or something like this), anyone knows how that program/package is called? | 23:36 |
| Kitar88 | wow thanks ;) | 23:36 |
| After_Math | Kitar88, you can get updated version of the beta, the beta is working for me :) | 23:36 |
| Kitar88 | can you update from the beta to "retail" ? | 23:36 |
| Kitar88 | when it gets rlsed | 23:36 |
| dulak | ollie: no, I haven't used a voodoo in like 5 years, I just remember it was a bitch to get 1280x1024 out of it and the newer drivers probably don't even recognize it correctly | 23:36 |
| After_Math | Kitar88, sure can :) | 23:36 |
| Kitar88 | great | 23:36 |
| csilk | bobertdos, do you think this driver would work for ollie http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xserver-xorg-video-tdfx ? | 23:36 |
| unop | magentar, xnest probably - for the GDM, the program is called gdmxnest (i think) | 23:36 |
| After_Math | Kitar88, all the updates up till the release is what will be the Final release | 23:36 |
| Kitar88 | thanks ;) | 23:37 |
| Kitar88 | also do you maybe speak japanese | 23:37 |
| ollie | so u dont know how to get 1280x1024? | 23:37 |

| ollie | ok | 23:38 |
| magentar | unop, thanks | 23:38 |
| ollie | thx | 23:38 |
| csilk | install that by double clicking on it, tell me when it has installed | 23:39 |
| unop | magentar, that means if you have the GDM installed, you have this utility by default | 23:39 |
| magentar | unop, it's a little different though i think in debian i was able to do sth like Applications -> System tools -> login in a new window | 23:39 |
| ollie | why did that open kate? | 23:39 |
| bobertdos | csilk: I'd almost forgotten those even existed. | 23:39 |
| magentar | but gdmXnest should be fine | 23:39 |
| unop | magentar, i'm pretty sure it's the same thing - though the menu entry on debian might be using different switches, etc to gdmxnest | 23:40 |
| ollie | csilk y did that open kate? | 23:40 |

| nacitar | I'm not sure why xserver-xgl is making it act like one giant screen magically. | 23:52 |
| fluffycloud12345 | Bluescreen, try looking at the top of your desktop for system> administration>network and there after you put in your password it will give you the network properties (as in windows xp) for example and basically take off automatic ip and change it to DHCP. I believe this will fix your issues. Essentially the other way is IFCONFIG as Bobert is telling you. | 23:52 |
| bluescreenofdea | i tried that still didnt work | 23:52 |
| bluescreenofdea | its says im connected but it wont let me get on the net | 23:53 |
| fluffycloud12345 | Bluescreen, Do basics, such ask pinging your gateway making sure the cable is properly conx etc. | 23:53 |
| bobertdos | bluescreenofdea: oops, gah, I'm too used to my network never failing :p | 23:53 |
| * Dark_Shikari wonders if anyone even saw his question | 23:54 | |

| Wicked | Dark_Shikari, verify the burn was good. chose check disk when u boot the cd. | 23:54 |
| bobertdos | bluescreenofdea: Do you have one like 192.168.1.xxx? | 23:54 |
| Zerothis | how do i increase my virtual using xrandr? I'd like a 1024x768 next to a 1024x768, I currently have a 640x480>640x480. Getting a 'screen cannot be larger than 1280x1200' error. manually adding "virtual 1664 768" to my xorg.conf boots to console | 23:54 |
