| bremby | russianzilla: you'll see. you'll get a blank screen with few possibilities. one of them is xfix | 00:00 |
| magnetron | jjgalvez__→ use the script at the cd, do NOT try to run "apt-get dist-upgrade" or anything similarily silly | 00:00 |
| russianzilla | Alright. | 00:00 |
| Tetracomm-live | csilk: When I used the guided install with SuSe, I didn't have any problems, but, when I did a manual install of Ubuntu the last time, I had to enter a password to access those FAT32 partitions, what do I do? | 00:00 |
| bremby | russianzilla: or something like xFix | 00:00 |
| sahak | tovella: i am going to try a new user now | 00:00 |
| russianzilla | I'll try that, thanks. | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | b3lorixx: do you have the addargvisuals type lines in xorg.conf? | 00:00 |
| csilk | Tetracomm-live, maybe you were entering a password to mount FAT32? | 00:00 |
| jimdb | ok, from an update-manger -d to now I have overcome some serious issues. this last update did nothing but wreak havoc. to start, I had no gui and it seemed I would not be able to get one working. I had two 8800gts cards and had a hardy install working fine for the past 6 months. after doing the update I sat at a character based log in prompt. even though I have finally gottan a GUI front end and the nvidia drivers running things are | 00:00 |
| sahak | tovella: some other user in this channel had the same problem too | 00:00 |
| jjgalvez__ | I'm just using the cd script, I'll try the apt-get clean see if that helps | 00:00 |
| Tetracomm-live | csilk: I don't know. | 00:00 |
| csilk | Tetracomm-live, that shouldn't happen this time around, you are safe to do a "manual" partition | 00:01 |
| b3lorixx | ACtionParsnip: what do you mean | 00:01 |
| Tetracomm-live | csilk: Thank you. | 00:01 |
| sahak | tovella: jrib i think | 00:01 |
| csilk | Tetracomm-live, ok i just checked | 00:01 |
| tovella | sahak: i'm sure it won't happen with a different user account. | 00:01 |
| csilk | Tetracomm-live, yes you need to enter a password to mount the partition, thats normal | 00:01 |
| csilk | Tetracomm-live, suse was obviously less secure in this matter | 00:01 |
| Tetracomm-live | csilk: Which partitions should I create to install Ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | b3lorixx: in section screen do you have: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" | 00:01 |
| ||Okkoto|| | Hey guys, I'm sort of new. How do you get scripts to work again? I typed up a script in the script editor, but I'm not sure how to apply it | 00:01 |
| Tetracomm-live | csilk: The first time I installed Ubuntu 7.10, I didn't have to enter a password to write to my partitions, but recently, I found that I had to, why? | 00:02 |
| bremby | Okkoto: you probably need to make it executable | 00:02 |
| ||Okkoto|| | Gotcha | 00:02 |
| b3lorixx | ACtionParsnip: how do i check | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ||Okkoto||: make sure you have !#/bin/bash as the first line | 00:02 |
| sahak | tovella: i am going to check now. i'll be back. | 00:02 |
| wers | i just installed ibex. now, network manager applet wont run on my account (where my config files are from my old hardy) but network manager works nicely on a fresh account. any idea? | 00:02 |
| MetalHeadDead | I'm at the end of updating to 8.10 and the process is in the cleaning up stage and it has been there for about 15 minutes, if i expand the terminal window it just says: removing landscape-client, how can i tell if it's frozen? | 00:02 |
| HtheB | Gnea, did you read it? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | b3lorixx: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:02 |
| csilk | Tetracomm-live, you dont have to enter a password to write to them, you just need your user password to mount them, it's so no one else can access your partitions from ubuntu | 00:02 |

| tovella | sahak: perhaps that has something to do with it. if there were some un-announced errors in your previous install, they would have been carried over to intrepid. did this problem display itself as soon as you upgraded? | 00:10 |

| jjgalvez__ | any more thoughts on what to do with a "Could not calculate the upgrade" error? when trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 using the alt disk? | 00:15 |
| ^Cheeky | sebsebseb, its downloading | 00:15 |
| MonkeyMan | eight what metal? | 00:15 |
| ^Cheeky | sebsebseb, hehe | 00:15 |
| HtheB | there is no soundcard drivers at all now | 00:15 |
| drumstyk1 | jimminy_cricket: that seems weird as it is a fresh xp install. would you happen to know a command to allow guests (aka remove username/pw prompt) for my share? | 00:15 |
| ||Okkoto|| | Check out: http://www.360Elite4free.com/index.php?ref=5491516 | 00:15 |
| Jehran | Gnea: previously when i used 8.04, sound would work randomly maybe one out of every three boots... a while ago with feisty fawn, it worked every time, but now nada... it's very strange | 00:15 |
| ||Okkoto|| | pretty neat stuff | 00:15 |
| Gnea | HtheB: ugh... if i were you, i'd reply to that posting and say that it didn't work for you and see if someone else has a suggestion | 00:15 |
| tarek_ | does anyone know how to connect to a wireless network in terminal? | 00:15 |
| bremby | dimedo: have you tried booting into failsafe? | 00:15 |
| tovella | jimminy_cricket: change your software sources to include the CD. System > Administration > Software Sources. | 00:15 |
| lfaraone_ | Hey, is there a gui for fsck? (or a way of showing a progress bar, I don't know if my disk is doing anything when I run fsck from the terminal on it (USB hard drive)) | 00:15 |
| ^SupaBeast^ | what kind of device is "sr0"? | 00:15 |
| HtheB | ok thnx Gnea :) | 00:15 |
| Gnea | Jehran: do you have builtin speakers? | 00:15 |
| jrib | ||Okkoto||: don't advertise here | 00:15 |
| MetalHeadDead | and when i click on something in the upgrade window it has a majorly lagged response | 00:16 |
| jimminy_cricket | drumstyk1: you need to change the folder permissions | 00:16 |
| Jehran | Gnea: yeah, they're part of the laptop chassis, if that's what you mean, i haven't tried the headphone output | 00:16 |
| dimedo | bremby, in the xservers failsafe mode compiz is already disabled, so i can't disable it | 00:16 |
| drumstyk1 | i would do it in nautilus but sudo nautilus returns errors | 00:16 |
| MetalHeadDead | im forceing it to stop this is ridiculous | 00:16 |
| * K_Dallas is glad that he just did a fresh install and everything seems to be working fine on the desktop, will do the same on the laptop later :) | 00:16 | |
| jimminy_cricket | 3rd digit needs to be a 6 | 00:16 |
| evilGUI | I could really use some help I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and the installer got stuck on config iptables or somthing like that so I thought 6 hours was long enough so I powered off my computer and restarted everything seems fine but doesn't seem to be upgraded anything I need to do to make sure this install keeps working? | 00:16 |
| MetalHeadDead | that fixed the problem | 00:16 |
| jrib | MetalHeadDead: you are likely to have problems when you boot again | 00:16 |
| PassionFRUI7E | "Desktop effects could not be enabled". And for some reason fglrx cannot be enabled after installed. | 00:16 |
| MetalHeadDead | too late now | 00:16 |
| Gnea | Jehran: well, i have a satellite (different model) and I had that problem before - eventually, it just 'worked', but I found that plugging external speakers or headphones in got it working | 00:16 |
| jimminy_cricket | tovella: im just trying to fix a current install, not use the cd to reinstall | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | evilGUI: just run the update procedure again | 00:16 |
| MonkeyMan | Well I am off and hoping my upgrade is not just stalled out. Maybe will finish cleanng up soon. I hope | 00:16 |
| PassionFRUI7E | At least I don't get a white screen and have to restart | 00:16 |
| tarek_ | how to connect to Essid using terminal?? | 00:17 |
| jimminy_cricket | x doesnt currently work | 00:17 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone help me? I'm dropping in BusyBox instead of loading the Live CD (from a hard drive)? | 00:17 |
| jimminy_cricket | thats why it needs to be fixed | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | HorizonXP: try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings | 00:17 |
| MetalHeadDead | it was doing nothing jrib. it was froze | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | HorizonXP: envyng-gtk is an option | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !envyng | HorizonXP | 00:17 |
| ubottu | HorizonXP: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 00:17 |
| jrib | ldiamond: you need to mention that you are not just booting straight from the cd... | 00:17 |
| baldur | s | 00:17 |
| Znuff | Hi. I have the 8.10 .iso, how do I boot it from USB? | 00:17 |
| Jehran | Gnea: hm, i'll try the headphone jack, that'd be a great temporary fix, i just need some sort of sound... i suppose i'll keep fidgeting with alsa | 00:17 |
| ^SupaBeast^ | sr0 = cdrom drive? or is it a harddrive? or doesn't "sr" mean anything? | 00:17 |
| MetalHeadDead | im going to reboot | 00:17 |
| tovella | jimminy_cricket: that's what i thought, that's why i posted what i did. | 00:17 |

| reya276 | oh nevermind eclipse will do | 00:18 |
| Gnea | Jehran: it could be there's a short inside of the system... or maybe a tiny peice of stray metal strand in the headphone jack that's causing an electrical bridge | 00:18 |
| jimminy_cricket | drumstyk1: use chmod | 00:18 |
| Tetracomm-live | csilk: Yes. There were 12GB of free space. | 00:18 |
| tovella | jimminy_cricket: is there an x-session working at all on the machine in question? | 00:18 |

| sebsebseb | why do my bot triggers not work? | 00:18 |
| Jehran | Gnea: perhaps, sound was working fine on windows yesterday which was odd, but a cleaning might do it some good | 00:18 |
| jimminy_cricket | tovella: no, x appears to start but doesnt fully initialise, it just gives me a blank screen | 00:18 |
| jimminy_cricket | i can debug though | 00:19 |
| jimminy_cricket | and ssh etc works fine | 00:19 |
| Tetracomm-live | csilk: Yes. :) That is all I have. | 00:19 |
| Tetracomm-live | I'm poor. | 00:19 |
| tovella | jimminy_cricket: i see... then you will have to do it manually - from a terminal session. | 00:19 |
| Gnea | Jehran: see if that works and if it doesn't, come back and i'm sure someone can help you try a different approach | 00:19 |
| MonkeyMan | metalhead gonna have real problems if he reboots. hehe | 00:19 |
| jimminy_cricket | thats good... and how would i do that? | 00:19 |

| Gnea | Jehran: no problem, good luck | 00:19 |
| MetalHeadDead | jrib: no problems | 00:19 |
| jimminy_cricket | techsupport: use sudo apt-get distro-upgrade | 00:20 |
| jrib | MetalHeadDead: try using apt | 00:20 |

| MetalHeadDead | or something like that | 00:21 |
| jrib | MetalHeadDead: something that exists, sure | 00:21 |
| noclueguy | is it possible a server halt comes from too much memory? | 00:21 |
| tovella | jimminy_cricket: techsupport: you'll have to update your /etc/apt/sources.list file first - change all instances of hardy to intrepid. | 00:21 |
| noclueguy | sorry not server halt ... kernel panic | 00:21 |
| Slart | hmm.. anyone found a way to get flash to use pulseaudio yet? | 00:21 |
| MetalHeadDead | jrib: im just going to keep 8.04 until the bugs are worked out of 8.10 | 00:21 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket, tovella: do not upgrade that way. It is not supported | 00:21 |
| templaedhel | Does 8.10 have the ui overhaul???? | 00:21 |
| genii | noclueguy: Not very likely | 00:22 |
| MetalHeadDead | i cant d/l the files all over again i dont have time, im on dsl 1.5 | 00:22 |
| jrib | MetalHeadDead: um, what does 'lsb_release -c' return for you? | 00:22 |

| ubottu | tovella, please see my private message | 00:22 |
| jimminy_cricket | i dont want to upgrade | 00:22 |
| MetalHeadDead | code name hardy | 00:22 |
| genii | noclueguy: 64bit and 32bit-server do. Regular 32 bit does not | 00:22 |
| jimminy_cricket | ive already tried upgrading and had serious problems | 00:23 |
| jimminy_cricket | thats why im here | 00:23 |
| noclueguy | omg. I just got 32-Desktop. I mean does it ignore 4 and uses 3 or does that may cause the trouble? | 00:23 |
| tarek_ | connect to wireless in terminal??? | 00:23 |
| jrib | techsupport: do not upgrade by editing sources.list directly as it is not supported | 00:23 |
| jimminy_cricket | i need to know if there is a way to reinstall x and gdm from a livecd | 00:23 |
| genii | noclueguy: But even when it cannot see all the ram, it will not cause any kind of kernel panic | 00:23 |
| MetalHeadDead | !upgrade | 00:23 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 00:23 |
| HorizonXP | actionparsnip: I'm updating my packages now, so i'll try Hardware Drivers again. I'd rather use the supported ones, i have no need for the latest ones | 00:23 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: why? | 00:23 |
| jimminy_cricket | because x/gdm isnt starting properly | 00:23 |
| tovella | jrib: ahh, i see the difference... a lot more has changed than meets the eye. i actually prefer doing fresh installs - backup every night so restoration of key files is never a problem. | 00:23 |
| jimminy_cricket | it looks like gdm isnt starting because x is broken | 00:24 |
| runemaste644 | Its STILL stuck! | 00:24 |
| Deiselton | hey guys i have a very simple question | 00:24 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: why would reinstalling fix anything? pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:24 |
| noclueguy | genii: thanks for that imput. That just confirms what I thaught anyway. But since I'm a little lost I just start to speculate a little bit. | 00:24 |
| mgutz | is anyone using 8.10 with 3ware 9650SE Raid? would not even boot when i tried several weeks back. | 00:24 |
| MetalHeadDead | jrib: what would i put in terminal to install that way? | 00:24 |
| runemaste644 | The updater is frozen, what do I do now? | 00:24 |
| techsupport | jrib, i'm running sudo do-release-upgrade | 00:24 |
| jimminy_cricket | jrib can i pm? | 00:24 |
| Tom_Davis | ok, I seem to be doing it wrong, in gnome, preferences, sound, all the settings are alsa and the test sounds work, but no login sounds no rythmbox sound, halp! | 00:25 |
| Atomic_UE | I've got an 'AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+' . Should I get the amd64 or i386 release of ubuntu? or it doesn't matter? | 00:25 |
| genii | noclueguy: np | 00:25 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: if it's about support, I'd prefer you talk here. Otherwise, sure | 00:25 |
| quang1e | hi guys. I'm looking for a tool for hardy to make a live usb, but can't find any packages in synaptic. Can someone point me to the live usb creator deb or something? | 00:25 |
| Deiselton | a while back i was playing arround setting my screensave as my desktop... i went into a program and set it not to show desktop.... cant remeber what that program was but it is the defualt program ubuntu used to build your desktop... can anyone point me in the right direction | 00:25 |
| Deiselton | ? | 00:25 |
| jimminy_cricket | i can't paste because its not this pc | 00:25 |
| jimminy_cricket | i can only debug | 00:25 |

| === csilk_ is now known as csilk | ||
| tovella | quang1e: why not use intrepid to do this? | 00:25 |
| jrib | MetalHeadDead: install what way? | 00:26 |
| quang1e | tovella, because I want to install Intrepid from usb stick | 00:26 |
| MetalHeadDead | jrib: using the terminal alone instead of the update manager | 00:26 |

| noclueguy | genii:I mean. It starts the install menu from the live CD. It loads the installing assistant. Sometimes it hangs already after the Wallpaper is shown, then it comes untill the part where you can change the partitions. I don't know what it could be. | 00:26 |
| runemaste644 | Does the upgrade have to clean up at all costs? | 00:26 |
| jrib | MetalHeadDead: follow the server instructions | 00:26 |
| csilk_ | -_- | 00:26 |
| tarelerulz | I want to make a differnet partition for home ,but while I was in my main Ubuntu install. I could not resize my main partition.

| ldiamond | Znuff | 00:26 |
| ldiamond | Znuff, do you know how to make the install from a USB hard drive that has GRUB on it? | 00:27 |
| csilk_ | wtf | 00:27 |
| tovella | quang1e: i thought you said hardy, do you want hardy or intrepid on the flash drive? | 00:27 |
| Znuff | ldiamond, no idea | 00:27 |
| runemaste644 | Or can i get away with not letting it clean up? | 00:27 |
| quang1e | tovella, i want to create intrepid live usb on hardy | 00:27 |
| jimminy_cricket | and how do i use pastebinit | 00:27 |
| harisund | Is it wrong to just do a s/hardy/intrepid on my /etc/apt/sources.list and do a apt-get dist-upgrade? | 00:27 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: cat file | pastebinit | 00:27 |

| nekostar | Code_Bleu must upgrade through 8.04 first | 00:28 |
| csilk | Code_Bleu, might need to go to 8.04 first | 00:28 |
| HorizonXP | Znuff: and it's ppl like you that's making the servers stupid slow for the rest of us! | 00:28 |
| Znuff | HorizonXP, I'm sorry? | 00:28 |
| HorizonXP | Znuff: you should be! :P | 00:29 |
| Code_Bleu | Can you upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10 with a CD then? | 00:29 |
| tovella | quang1e: i see. i don't know of a .deb that does that in hardy, but if you upgrade (via the internet) you can then create the bootable flash drive you desire (to install on subsequent machines). | 00:29 |
| nekostar | HorizonXP thats why we intelligent one's upgraded a couple weeks ago and well | 00:29 |
| nekostar | its fine for now | 00:29 |
| nekostar | :P | 00:29 |
| Znuff | HorizonXP, how exactly am I making the servers slow? | 00:29 |
| nekostar | Code_Bleu no | 00:29 |
| jimminy_cricket | http://pastebin.com/f1d7fd616 | 00:29 |
| quang1e | tovella, yeah i want a clean install since i have a seperate home partition anyway | 00:29 |
| nekostar | Code_Bleu because things change places and multiple versions it will break. | 00:29 |
| nekostar | Code_Bleu nothing stopping you from dling the iso and trying anyway | 00:29 |
| nekostar | ;) | 00:29 |
| pur-angst | Hello | 00:30 |
| nekostar | just be aware it's going to break | 00:30 |
| tovella | quang1e: agreed... i prefer a clean install, too. | 00:30 |
| epifanio | ok ... after 4 reboot i solved my kerboyard problems :-D | 00:30 |
| nekostar | epifanio yey | 00:30 |
| BrantlyMedders | Just a quick question, is there any real reason to upgrade from Hardy to Ibex, are there any new "must have" features? | 00:30 |
| evilGUI | after a failed upgrade and trying to upgrade again using the update manager I get Not all updates can be installed Run a partial upgrade when I do that I get Can not upgrade | 00:30 |
| evilGUI | An upgrade from 'intrepid' to 'hardy' is not supported with this tool. | 00:30 |
| jimminy_cricket | BrantlyMedders: look on the ubuntu site, there is a list of the main changes | 00:30 |
| runemaste644 | I desperately need help. The upgrade has benn stuck on cleaning up for HOURS. How do i fix it? | 00:30 |
| genii | BrantlyMedders: Depends who you ask | 00:30 |
| tovella | quang1e: do you have another networked machine with 2 or more network cards installed? | 00:30 |
| ORdie | my 8.1 doesn't like using the wired connection | 00:31 |
| quang1e | tovella, nope | 00:31 |
| jimminy_cricket | jrib: anything useful in the pasta? | 00:31 |
| evilGUI | and I'm upgrading from Hardy to 8.10 | 00:31 |
| det | How can I get firefox to respect my DPI ? | 00:31 |
| vanberge | hmm.... 8.10 can't mount nfs out of the box eh ? | 00:31 |
| ^SupaBeast^ | where can i find the "md5 hash" for 8.10? | 00:32 |
| Code_Bleu | what do you all use for a "ghost" like backup, with the option to open and restore individual files? | 00:32 |
| tovella | quang1e: you've already downloaded the cd iso file? | 00:32 |
| quang1e | tovella, yes | 00:32 |
| evilGUI | anyone know how to fix this and get the update reinstalled? | 00:32 |
| cabrioleur | evilGUI, http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/MD5SUMS | 00:32 |
| csilk | evilGUI, 'this' is? | 00:33 |
| the|Navigator | Is there something wrong with the recent guest manager update? | 00:33 |
| the|Navigator | it's 404ing | 00:33 |
| CompactDistance | is there much point to clean installing 8.10 rather than upgrading from 8.04? | 00:33 |
| kholerabbi | does transmission (in hardy) restore torrents after a shutdown? | 00:33 |
| quang1e | Znuff, looks like i need to burn a live cd so that i can make a live usb with live usb system creator. that kinda defeats the point :\ | 00:33 |
| cabrioleur | ^SupaBeast^, sorry, it was for you, http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/MD5SUMS | 00:33 |
| noclueguy | genii: do you think the alternate installation cd would avoid the kernel panic since less modules might be loaded? | 00:33 |
| HorizonXP | Znuff: if you're downloading all of your packages from the servers, it makes it slow for the rest of us that only need to download a few packages | 00:33 |
| n8tuser | CompactDistance-> plenty, if you dont want to pull your hair out | 00:33 |
| CompactDistance | haha | 00:33 |
| CompactDistance | cheers | 00:33 |
| tovella | quang1e: again i don't know of a .deb that will do it, but there were some instructions on pendrivelinux.org for an older version of ubuntu. the procedure should be the same. | 00:33 |
| wers | i saw screenshots of intrepid having a panel background but now that i installed it, i dont see one. is there really an official intrepid panel background? | 00:33 |
| HorizonXP | nekostar: and I usually do that, I've just been too busy to do that this time around | 00:34 |
| jimminy_cricket | jrib: still there? | 00:34 |
| nekostar | HorizonXP well at least you have one thing to console you | 00:34 |
| sysrpn | is there anyone here with ibec and flash 10 working? i am trying to get my flash sound working and am looking for help | 00:34 |
| quang1e | tovella, hm ok. Kinda stupid frankly that they don't provide a backport, since it's a pretty common usecase I'd imagine | 00:34 |
| nekostar | your ubuntu updates are only as slow as windows updates now :P | 00:34 |
| n8tuser | wers some features are not familiar to us yet, so perhaps you can google? | 00:34 |
| tovella | quang1e: sorry, that should have been pendrivelinux.com | 00:34 |
| EeveeTrainer | hi | 00:34 |
| sysrpn | ibec = ibex | 00:34 |
| nekostar | sort of evens things out >_> | 00:34 |
| EeveeTrainer | is there a guide to installing ubuntu on a usb flash drive | 00:34 |
| BBWonder | QUESTION to anyone who might know: when typing *startx* in CLI, I get returned the following error: *xinit: error in locking authorative file (Xauthority) -- What's wrong here? | 00:34 |
| genii | noclueguy: Offhand no idea. | 00:34 |
| the|Navigator | Has anyone else on ubuntu recieved an update in their list which can't install because it 404s? (gdm guest manager) | 00:34 |
| n8tuser | EeveeTrainer-> yes, you can google for it pleae | 00:35 |
| nekostar | BBWonder because you already have X open for that user | 00:35 |
| HorizonXP | nekostar: lol, i guess... | 00:35 |
| Baatti | Hi, I need some help | 00:35 |
| CO2Games | son of a bitch... | 00:35 |
| evilGUI | so this is what I did I did the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 on the cleaning up stage it sat at iptable or something like that so I killed the power and booted now I can't run the upgrade again =( | 00:35 |
| tovella | quang1e: it's a new feature of a new version of ubuntu. a backport may take some time. | 00:35 |
| cabrioleur | the|Navigator, you can refresh the apt-get, it should help. | 00:35 |
| noclueguy | genii: I'll just give it a try. I'll keep you updated :-) | 00:35 |
| CO2Games | who the hell put my bot in here | 00:35 |
| nekostar | BBWonder if you have in intrepid just install fast-user-switch-applet and use it | 00:35 |
| the|Navigator | cabrioleur: No, it's listed still | 00:35 |
| redvamp128 | hey all-- I have asked this question waited 1 hour and no response back-- the new Flash 10.0.24.36 is it stable enough for use? | 00:35 |
| BBWonder | nekostar: I don't think so, did * GDM stop* | 00:35 |
| nekostar | then you can switch users just like in winblowz ;)_ | 00:35 |
| woody86 | can anyone help me out, update-manager was working fine, but now it gives me an error messsage stating "unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/ ...... the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened" | 00:35 |
| cabrioleur | the|Navigator, what package? | 00:35 |
| csilk | redvamp128, is it a stable release? | 00:35 |
| EeveeTrainer | is there a guide on ubuntu.com for installing it to a usb drive? | 00:35 |
| the|Navigator | gdm guest thingy | 00:36 |
| nekostar | BBWonder do: `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop` | 00:36 |
| nekostar | then wait | 00:36 |
| CO2Games | @part #ubuntu | 00:36 |
| nekostar | then do it again | 00:36 |
| quang1e | tovella, i can see why that is, but still. It'd make more sense to push it to hardy before intrepid since that's where people upgrade from | 00:36 |
| csilk | redvamp128, also there is alot of noise in this chan so you may need to ask more than once | 00:36 |
| woody86 | EeveeTrainer- google for Unetbootin :) | 00:36 |
| nekostar | then do `sudo killall gdm` | 00:36 |
| Baatti | I'm trying to do a full install of ubuntu 8.04 on my computer, but when I run the live cd, and choose 'Install Ubuntu', it takes me to a Debian shell pompt, and I can't install ubuntu, I don't know what to enter in | 00:36 |
| nekostar | then sudo top | 00:36 |
| BBWonder | nekostar: aha do it again? hadn't thought of that | 00:36 |
| nekostar | then in top push u for user, and enter your user | 00:36 |
| woody86 | EeveeTrainer- or try searching for it under Ubuntu Documentation | 00:36 |
| nekostar | then kill all but top and bash processes of your user | 00:36 |
| the|Navigator | cabrioleur: hang on, the packages are slowly appearing on the mirror | 00:36 |
| coz_ | hey guys, I noticed when downloading, at least from the location I chose, and on the main site that the md5sums were not avilable, did I miss them sonewhere? | 00:36 |
| nekostar | THEN startx and guess what - no conflicts ;D | 00:36 |
| redvamp128 | For the person-- who said debian prompt- try the following-- boot live then choose install--make sure to be connected to the interner | 00:37 |
| redvamp128 | oops internet | 00:37 |
| nekostar | coz_ hey sup thar ? | 00:37 |
| bungieQord | jtisme, are you there? | 00:37 |
| nekostar | from main site? | 00:37 |
| coz_ | nekostar, hey guy | 00:37 |
| BBWonder | nekostar: how do I do *kill all but top and bash processes* | 00:37 |
| coz_ | nekostar, if you mean me yes i couldnlt find the md5sums | 00:37 |
| tovella | quang1e: perhaps you could suggest it to the developers (without calling them stupid). | 00:37 |
| woooooooooooooah | umm i cant get packages any more for intrepid beta | 00:38 |
| mib_zw5f0v | hello, i have just installed the usb key install using the new feature onto my usb flash drive | 00:38 |
| mib_zw5f0v | it will not boot | 00:38 |
| mib_zw5f0v | on several machines | 00:38 |
| quang1e | tovella, heh didn't mean to imply anything here :) Actually UNetbootin seems to do what i need | 00:38 |
| nekostar | http://mirror.umoss.org/ubuntu-iso/intrepid/MD5SUMS | 00:38 |
| Baatti | redvamp128 I am connected to the internet, and when I choose Install, it just takes me to a prompt, it does the same thing when I choose to try the demo of Ubuntu without installing | 00:38 |
| mib_zw5f0v | one of which is KNOWN to support usb | 00:38 |
| mib_zw5f0v | why isn't this working? | 00:38 |
| redvamp128 | no I mean boot to live | 00:38 |
| redvamp128 | then choose the install | 00:38 |
| mib_zw5f0v | is there a problem with unetbootin? | 00:38 |
| n8tuser | mib_zw5f0v-> have you modified your bios to boot from usb? | 00:38 |
| coz_ | nekostar, ok thanks guy :) | 00:38 |
| Baatti | boot to live? | 00:38 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: url to the paste? | 00:38 |
| redvamp128 | I had that issue with other debian distro | 00:38 |
| Baatti | what do you mean? | 00:38 |
| tovella | quang1e: cool, UNetbootin... huh? I'll have to take a look. | 00:38 |
| nekostar | coz_ it did not show on the download page i used to gen that url either though. good point - might wanna tell someone who can do something | 00:39 |
| redvamp128 | that is what worked on that one-- boot to live then from the live choose hard drive install | 00:39 |
| mib_zw5f0v | n8tuser: it is known to work with USB | 00:39 |
| mib_zw5f0v | there is a problem with unetbootin i believe | 00:39 |
| Thayle | So I can't install Ubuntu... Everytime I try, after the orange bar loads I get this error: iwlagn: Error sending REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD: time out after 500ms. | 00:39 |
| jimminy_cricket | http://pastebin.com/f7886f740 | 00:39 |
| jimminy_cricket | http://pastebin.com/f1d7fd616 | 00:39 |
| coz_ | nekostar, mm ok thanks | 00:39 |
| Ben | i am trying to use sykpe with video but it only displays a bunch of weird green lines, any ideas? | 00:39 |
| nekostar | ^^ | 00:39 |
| n8tuser | mib_zw5f0v-> have you modified your bios to boot from usb? <-- you didnt answer this | 00:39 |
| Baatti | I don't know what you mean by 'boot to live' | 00:39 |
| russianzilla | Alright, question for anyone willing to help. | 00:39 |
| Anza | how can I update firefox? | 00:39 |
| russianzilla | I tried to update to Intrepid, that failed. | 00:39 |
| redvamp128 | -- on the ubuntu cd-- there is an option for run live | 00:39 |
| russianzilla | It hung on the cleaning up stage | 00:39 |
| Anza | whenever I open my hotmail email it says firefox is not the last version | 00:39 |
| Anza | I thought it was | 00:39 |
| russianzilla | I rebooted, X Server was messed up, wouldn't use the right drivers | 00:39 |
| n8tuser | russianzilla-> your the 339 user to complain of such.. :) | 00:40 |
| russianzilla | I went into recovery mode, repaired X and dpkg | 00:40 |
| nekostar | http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/MD5SUMS ah there it is - that's the official one coz_ | 00:40 |
| grykgru | i keep experiencing difficulty when i disable my bluetooth adaptor: http://rafb.net/p/YBVZM796.html | 00:40 |
| russianzilla | Oh, super. | 00:40 |
| EeveeTrainer | hi. is it possible for ubuntu to read NFTS file systems on windows partitions? | 00:40 |
| woooooooooooooah | i cant get package list on my intrepid right now | 00:40 |
| woooooooooooooah | wtf | 00:40 |
| redvamp128 | just click contiue-- the hotmail-msn is not-- considering 3.0.3 to be the latest linux version | 00:40 |
| russianzilla | At any rate, the system is in some weird halfway stage. | 00:40 |
| evilGUI | 8.10 doesn't seem ready to me failed on 4 machines I've tried today | 00:40 |
| redvamp128 | or correct version-- | 00:40 |
| nekostar | EeveeTrainer yes | 00:40 |
| helder | hi | 00:40 |
| mib_zw5f0v | anyplace for me to go with usb boot issues? | 00:40 |
| Ben | any ideas for how to get skype video working? | 00:40 |
| jimminy_cricket | russianzilla: i think i'm having the same problem as you | 00:40 |
| mib_zw5f0v | the new feature is bunk | 00:40 |
| jimminy_cricket | can you get x to start? | 00:40 |
| mib_zw5f0v | *junk | 00:40 |
| russianzilla | When I restarted it told me I had something like 600 updates so I should do a partial upgrade | 00:40 |
| helder | im using xubuntu, how can i install gnome and use "ubuntu" ? | 00:40 |
| nekostar | woooooooooooooah give it time, the servers are overloaded | 00:40 |
| runemaste644 | russianzilla: its hanging on cleaning up for me | 00:40 |
| coz_ | nekostar, these md5sums are not even close to the read out darn | 00:41 |
| russianzilla | Except it then told me I couldn't do a partial upgrade from Intrepid to Hardy | 00:41 |
| Thayle | So that would be a no one knows about my problem? | 00:41 |
| nekostar | coz_ perhaps wget -c or axel are in time :P | 00:41 |
| Baatti | yeah, I don't have that option...if I run the cd in windows, it tells me to install it in windows, or reboot and try the demo/or install. I'm running the Live CD from bootup...both options 'Install Ubuntu' and 'Try ubuntu with no changes to your computer' take me to that prompt | 00:41 |
| evilGUI | russiansillza same | 00:41 |
| redvamp128 | it is not an issue with -- firefox but with Hotmail and Linux-- I ran 2.0.17 under wine and it says I have the latest one--(which it reports that it is windows) | 00:41 |
| helder | how can i upgrade xubuntu to ubuntu ? | 00:41 |
| russianzilla | Manually installed the updates, now I don't really know what version of Ubuntu I'm running. | 00:41 |
| csilk | thats annoying, when you download a java ide without having a java already installed it downlaod the open jdk rather than the sun jdk VERY annoying | 00:41 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: what exactly happens? It seems like X has no errors | 00:41 |
| evilGUI | I'm doing a apt-get upgrade hope it fixes this | 00:41 |
| EeveeTrainer | what is necessary for ubuntu to be able to read ntfs file systems on windows partitions? | 00:41 |
| Atomic_UE | I've got an 'AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+' . Should I get the amd64 or i386 release of ubuntu? or it doesn't matter? | 00:41 |
| evilGUI | it has 600 or so things to install :/ | 00:41 |
| === woooooooooooooah is now known as scientes | ||
| jimminy_cricket | jrib: i get a blank screen, just a plain orange colour when it boots | 00:41 |
| jrib | Atomic_UE: how much ram? | 00:41 |
| nekostar | Atomic_UE if you feel that you want 64 bit go for it | 00:42 |
| evilGUI | so try that I guess 2 hours =( | 00:42 |
| Thayle | Everytime I try, after the orange bar loads I get this error: iwlagn: Error sending REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD: time out after 500ms. | 00:42 |
| jimminy_cricket | no desktop, no apps that should boot at startup | 00:42 |
| jimminy_cricket | etc etc | 00:42 |
| nekostar | however i recommend 32bit unless you have more than 4GB ram | 00:42 |
| mib_zw5f0v | anyone? | 00:42 |
| Atomic_UE | jrib, 1gb | 00:42 |
| helder | anyone please? | 00:42 |
| helder | how can i upgrade xubuntu to ubuntu ? | 00:42 |
| nekostar | helder ah hold on | 00:42 |
| grykgru | i keep experiencing difficulty when i disable my bluetooth adaptor: http://rafb.net/p/YBVZM796.html | 00:42 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: comment the UseFBDev option and see what happens | 00:42 |
| IdahoEv | if I'm looking at a file with "ls -l" , what does an @ sign mean next to the permissions? Like this: -rw-r--r--@ | 00:42 |
| nekostar | helder whats your current version? | 00:42 |
| evilGUI | helder sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:42 |
| russianzilla | I guess my main question is this: how do I get my computer to a point where I can upgrade to Intrepid? | 00:42 |
| bungieQord | jtisme, are you there? | 00:42 |
| jrib | Atomic_UE: I'd go with 32bit then | 00:42 |
| helder | 8.10 | 00:42 |
| nekostar | russianzilla what version are you now? | 00:42 |
| Atomic_UE | jrib, really? | 00:42 |
| LordMetroid | Where do one configure the notification applet? | 00:42 |
| russianzilla | Great question. | 00:42 |
| russianzilla | I was on Hardy | 00:43 |
| Baatti | yeah, I don't have that option...if I run the cd in windows, it tells me to install it in windows, or reboot and try the demo/or install. I'm running the Live CD from bootup...both options 'Install Ubuntu' and 'Try ubuntu with no changes to your computer' take me to that prompt | 00:43 |
| nekostar | helder sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop | 00:43 |
| jrib | Atomic_UE: you'll have less hassles | 00:43 |
| russianzilla | Until the upgrade failed and now I don't know where it is. | 00:43 |
| jimminy_cricket | whats a command line txt editor? | 00:43 |
| nekostar | helder it should tell you a bunch of packages are dying | 00:43 |
| nekostar | but you need to do that from a console | 00:43 |
| jrib | Atomic_UE: you really only need 64bit if you want to use >=4gb of ram | 00:43 |
| nekostar | because it's going to kill your X | 00:43 |
| helder | ok | 00:43 |
| EeveeTrainer | hi i'm interested in switching from windows to ubuntu but im wondering.. is there an equivalent for microsoft office for ubuntu?:) | 00:43 |
| redvamp128 | okay so you may have a bad burn | 00:43 |
| evilGUI | jimminy_cricket nano | 00:43 |
| Atomic_UE | jrib, ok | 00:43 |
| nekostar | then install ubuntu-desktop for gnome or kubuntu-desktop for kde | 00:43 |
| scientes | jrib, or the full capibilities of your hardware.... | 00:43 |
| jrib | EeveeTrainer: open office | 00:43 |
| Atomic_UE | jrib, there's no real performance benefit with 64 over 32 ? | 00:43 |
| * PassionFRUI7E is now completely problem free! | 00:43 | |
| nekostar | also you may need to remove xdm and replace with gdm or kdm respectively ok? | 00:43 |
| jrib | Atomic_UE: not that you'll notice, no | 00:43 |
| tux | EeveeTrainer, www.openoffice.org far superior | 00:44 |
| PassionFRUI7E | Well, my computer at least =P | 00:44 |
| Atomic_UE | jrib, ok cool. thanks jrib and nekostar | 00:44 |
| Baatti | someone please help me | 00:44 |
| nekostar | Atomic_UE | 00:44 |
| russianzilla | Is it possible for an install to be stuck halfway between Hardy and Intrepid? | 00:44 |
| scientes | IMHO u should install 64-bit if you have 64bt hardware | 00:44 |
| Baatti | I can't install ubuntu, it's taking me to a Debian shell prompt | 00:44 |
| nekostar | there is better codec support with 32 bit - might wanna still run it :P | 00:44 |
| Rogue | Asside from the obvious, is there much difference between Windows's VPN client, and pptpclient ? | 00:44 |
| jimminy_cricket | jrib: still a blank screen | 00:44 |
| nekostar | Baatti does it say something like initrd tools? | 00:44 |
| nekostar | or busybox? | 00:44 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: you rebooted or? | 00:45 |
| redvamp128 | could the person who is trying to install please pm me | 00:45 |
| Bynw | I've upgraded to 8.10 and now I'm getting an error connecting my digital camera. unable to mount (gives name of camera) error initializing camera: -1 unspecified error | 00:45 |
| Necrogami | Is build-essential not included in Intrepid now? | 00:45 |
| grykgru | i keep experiencing difficulty when i disable my bluetooth adaptor: http://rafb.net/p/YBVZM796.html | 00:45 |
| nekostar | b/c those are usually bad burns | 00:45 |
| jimminy_cricket | i restarted gdm | 00:45 |
| jimminy_cricket | trying a reboot now | 00:45 |
| evilGUI | russianzilla: I have that right now try opening a command line and typing sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:45 |
| jrib | Necrogami: it never was... | 00:45 |
| Kohlrak | what's the default CVS directory? | 00:45 |
| Baatti | nekostar um...the prompt says init...something | 00:45 |
| evilGUI | it has a lot of stuff to install | 00:45 |
| nekostar | when you go into an installer first you should be using an alternate disk at first sign of trouble | 00:45 |
| Appl3Kork | hey I need help with this step I copied from a tutorial for the ubuntu server: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64916/ | 00:45 |
| redvamp128 | at that prompt type the following -- whoami | 00:45 |
| evilGUI | hope this fixes it for me | 00:45 |
| Baatti | nekostar it tells me I can type help for commands, but there are no commands that work | 00:45 |
| russianzilla | I'll give it a shot. | 00:45 |
| Necrogami | gah | 00:45 |
| nekostar | and when your on top of hte install link push f6 and input awesome things like: acpi=off noacpi | 00:46 |
| sabi1 | hey does anyone know where i can get drivers for Nvidia 8800GT | 00:46 |
| sabi1 | for ubuntu 8.10 | 00:46 |
| Necrogami | build-essential was in 8.04 | 00:46 |
| nekostar | Baatti no you need a disk to install from | 00:46 |
| jimminy_cricket | the nvidia site.... | 00:46 |
| nekostar | Baatti failed install | 00:46 |
| evilGUI | Yeah this is the most screwy ubuntu release i've ever seen | 00:46 |
| sabi1 | u sure? | 00:46 |
| jrib | nekostar: it was not installed by default in any version of ubuntu | 00:46 |
| sabi1 | on 8.04 they never had anything | 00:46 |
| nekostar | jrib ? | 00:46 |
| nekostar | what wasnt | 00:46 |
| Baatti | nekostar I'm using a ubuntu 8.04 live cd | 00:46 |
| Gorthax | saib, you can get them on the nvidia website i believe | 00:46 |
| jrib | Necrogami: it was not installed by default in any version of ubuntu | 00:46 |
| Appl3Kork | it says to input your IP settings, but I don't know what the netmask, broadcast, network, and gateway would be? | 00:46 |
| Anza | what is that I have to type in the terminal to install this: firefox-3.0.3.tar.bz2 | 00:46 |
| cabrioleur | sabi1, system -> administration -> hardware drivers | 00:46 |
| jrib | nekostar: tab error, sorry | 00:46 |
| Kohlrak | anyone know the directory for files hosted by a CVS server? | 00:46 |
| nekostar | Baatti what hardware are you running | 00:46 |
| nekostar | jrib kk | 00:46 |
| cabrioleur | sabi1, or nvidia website | 00:46 |
| runemaste644 | evilGUI: I have the same problem, except it's still hanging on cleaning up, can you help me? | 00:46 |
| redvamp128 | and you said it drops you to prompt.... | 00:46 |
| tux | i booted inbex off my usb key, its quite solid i find | 00:46 |
| Baatti | nekostar um...a crappy old 20gig compaq | 00:47 |
| n8tuser | Anza-> did you read the install instructions from the web site? | 00:47 |
| tux | installed in 13 mins ;) | 00:47 |
| Rogue | Ibex is running fine for me thankfully. | 00:47 |
| nekostar | Baatti yeah get the alternate install disk and use that | 00:47 |
| Necrogami | jrib, not true. You could apt-get it on 8.04 but it's not even availabe in the repo for 8.10 | 00:47 |
| Rogue | But I am still stuck with a problem I just dont understand. | 00:47 |
| jrib | !info build-essential | Necrogami | 00:47 |
| Baatti | nekostar where at? | 00:47 |
| ubottu | necrogami: build-essential (source: build-essential): Informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.4 (intrepid), package size 7 kB, installed size 48 kB | 00:47 |
| nekostar | you may have problems with some of the hardware in the installer so it doesnt load all the way or who knows what | 00:47 |
| Broken|Arrow | guys, is it safe to run ubuntu-xen-desktop along with network-manager ? | 00:47 |
| nekostar | http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ <<-- Baatti | 00:47 |
| Draist | I am in need of some help, experiencing major slowdown, gkrellm says i have 200+ procs running but I havnt been able to find out how to shut them down | 00:47 |
| Broken|Arrow | I am using hardy | 00:47 |
| cription | t | 00:47 |
| === dor is now known as clonker | ||
| Baatti | thanks | 00:47 |
| evilGUI | runemaste644: I would recommend backing up right now if possible mine stayed going for 6 hours so I just powered off the machine "this isn't a good idea" | 00:48 |
| helder | damn i was downloading something via terminal, i closed it, now its downloading but i cant see it anymore. how do i recover the windows? | 00:48 |
| cabrioleur | Broken|Arrow, yes. | 00:48 |
| Necrogami | let me get done what i'm doing now and i'll prove it to ya | 00:48 |
| nekostar | http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso <<-- Baatti | 00:48 |
| Broken|Arrow | cabrioleur: thanks | 00:48 |
| sabi1 | yeah hardware drivers doesn't update it just says activate and it doesn't activate... | 00:48 |
| Anza | n8tuser, there are not instructions, I am trying to install it from a site hotmail liked me, everytime I get to my hotmail account it says the browser is not updated, so puts that link from where I dled that file to update firefox | 00:48 |
| jrib | Necrogami: ok... | 00:48 |
| n8tuser | Broken|Arrow-> i dont see the relationship | 00:48 |
| cabrioleur | sabi1, after the installation of them you have to restart the computer. | 00:48 |
| Anza | n8tuser, this: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/ | 00:48 |

| Broken|Arrow | n8tuser: most tutorials say that you should remove network manager to avoid conflict with xen virtual networks | 00:49 |
| n8tuser | Anza-> tar balls files needs to be un-tarred | 00:49 |
| cabrioleur | helder, if you used wget or something like it it will save in directory that you were currently in. | 00:49 |
| Baatti | nekostar now I'm gonna need to find a good .iso mounting software, got a good idea? | 00:49 |
| Rogue | droids: compile it, then run it from the command line. | 00:49 |
| Anza | n8tuser, how do I do that? | 00:49 |
| redvamp128 | To the person who is trying to install -- I found a bug report on what seems to be the issue..https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/253035 | 00:49 |
| evilGUI | runemaste644: after powering off my machine when I opened the update manager it wouldn't fix it's self by doing a partial upgrade so I just opened term and typed sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop hope this fixes this I have about 2 hours for it to download everything | 00:49 |
| Atomic_UE | ubuntuforums are down :( | 00:49 |
| Appl3Kork | can someone help me with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64916/ | 00:49 |
| helder | i was downloading ubuntu-desktop and closed terminal. how can i follow its progress now ? | 00:50 |
| jrib | droids: you need to compile it first. Save the file, install build-essential, and run 'g++ file.cc'. Then run './a.out' | 00:50 |
| n8tuser | Broken|Arrow-> if it already advised you of that, you are asking for one more confirmation? so yeah go ahead follow the tutorials | 00:50 |
| cabrioleur | sabi1, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" should do the trick. | 00:50 |
| redvamp128 | It actually says to download 8.10-- because it has an updated kernel | 00:50 |
| nekostar | Baatti eh? | 00:50 |
| jimminy_cricket | ok this is not working at all | 00:50 |
| evilGUI | You don't close terminal | 00:50 |
| nekostar | Baatti you need to burn for free from windows? | 00:50 |
| Atomic_UE | helder, what did you use to download it? | 00:50 |

| Atomic_UE | helder, yeah it's probably not downloading anymore ? | 00:51 |
| ubuntu | I'll change my name | 00:51 |
| Broken|Arrow | n8tuser: thing is most of these tutorials use 7.04 with xen-server , not desktop | 00:51 |
| nekostar | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto there u go Baatti | 00:51 |
| Taku1 | lol | 00:51 |

| Baatti | nekostar: I don't have software to mount an iso image....I need a reference to something I can d/l to mount this .iso onto a disk | 00:51 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: that's not going to fix anything, did you answer my question? | 00:51 |
| evilGUI | runemaste644: grate glad it's working for you | 00:51 |
| sabi1 | it wont let me install the nvidia drivers from nvidia's site while im in X serv.. | 00:51 |

| jimminy_cricket | jrib: i haven't tried a live cd yet because i need to get a usb stick for it. the graphics is just onboard stuff, really old | 00:57 |
| evilGUI | hacknperl: it's a problem with a chipset driver | 00:57 |
| hacknperl | yes it is in BIOS | 00:57 |
| cabrioleur | tigerz, yes, it should be fairly easy, I'm checking the path | 00:57 |
| sabi1 | hmm.. | 00:57 |
| Rogue | Anyone know how to get Windows to stop messing around and just work. | 00:57 |
| csilk | yowshi, sorry I though you were saying there was no update option from hardy to intrepid, of course it was hard to tell what you meant when you said so little | 00:57 |
| aflack | guys need alot of help | 00:57 |
| wers | n8tuser: they're not even listed | 00:57 |

| Necrogami | jrib: that worked | 00:58 |
| hacknperl | i cant see it here | 00:58 |
| csilk | yowshi, i think you have to fully update hardy before the option appears | 00:58 |
| jrib | jimminy_cricket: seems to be sis, so I would check bugs.ubuntu.com for bugs on that driver if you the live cd won't load X either | 00:58 |
| sebsebseb | aflack: what's the problem exactly? | 00:58 |
| yowshi | csilk: did that | 00:58 |
| sabi1 | hacknperl: oh ..hmm..... | 00:58 |
| tab1293 | evilGUI: ok I'm going to try it | 00:58 |
| Rogue | hacknperl: I'd love to... but its my dad's work laptop that refuses to connect through my linux gateway.. its the only reason that Im stuck using a crap wireless router thing. | 00:59 |

| sabi1 | hacknperl: sry i always say this but if i was in front of it i feel like i could solve it | 00:59 |
| aflack | sebsebseb: it cancels upgrading and says cant fetch a lot of files that have a file called pool in the name | 00:59 |
| cabrioleur | tigerz, can you pastebin xorg.conf, or is it not possible? | 00:59 |
| wers | n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64921/ | 00:59 |
| aflack | and it says all downloaded files so far have been saved | 00:59 |
| Necrogami | jrib: thanks it's been a while since i've been on ubuntu. had the RC instead of the Final so i'm in the process of upgrading to final | 00:59 |
| hacknperl | heh.... i hear you there sabi | 00:59 |

| helder | sebsebseb, purge command not found | 01:07 |
| kneeki | jtisme: No idea. When I attempt to boot off the 8.10 CD it eventually takes me to an (initramfs) prompt, and sits there. If I do 'exit' it will spit out a kernel panic | 01:07 |
| yowshi | csilk: well how unsafe could it be i am soon to perform the semi annual upgrade | 01:07 |
| Appl3Kork | like I get into the text, but I can't delete or type anything | 01:07 |
| n8tuser | EeveeTrainer-> or the liveCD ..its possible | 01:07 |
| jeaves | Eeve - liveCD should do that as well | 01:07 |
| hacknperl | Ubuntu 8.10 does not support SATA drives i guess... | 01:07 |
| yowshi | csilk: wouldnt that like erase any potential for damage | 01:08 |

| yowshi | hacknperl: no 8.1 supports sata | 01:08 |
| n8tuser | kneeki-> maybe your burn is not good, verify it | 01:08 |
| jtisme | kneeki, i just downloaded the latest live cd let me see if i have any problems at boot | 01:08 |
| csilk | yowshi, if the updates are 32bit and screw some of yoru libs up, unlikely but possible | 01:08 |
| csilk | *your | 01:08 |
| ericjung | hacknperl: it doesn't??? 8.04 does. | 01:08 |
| yowshi | hacknperl: there is no possible way it couldnt | 01:08 |
| kneeki | n8tuser: Good idea, will do that now | 01:08 |
| ConstantineXVI | EeveeTrainer: yeah, that should work | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | helder: actsaully I just thought of something | 01:08 |
| hacknperl | I tried it on three computers now and non of them are detecting the SATA drives... | 01:08 |
| EeveeTrainer | how would i mount the internal hard drive on a usb ubuntu? | 01:08 |

| ninjabuntu | Did 8.10 just get released today? | 01:08 |
| twisted` | ey, is there a special channel for 8.10? | 01:08 |

| helder | sebsebseb, done, now what should i do? restart X ? | 01:08 |
| yowshi | csilk: they are updates for like k3b | 01:08 |

| Appl3Kork | how do I run the vimtutor? | 01:12 |

| Appl3Kork | dr_willis, I'm following a tutorial for a ubuntu server, and I'm trying to change from dhcp to static, and they just say to type in vi | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | Appl3Kork, open terminal, run vimtutor. you may want to install the vim-full package also if you wish to use vim as your main editor | 01:13 |

| csilk | yowshi, cool, good look with that | 01:13 |
| runemaste644 | evilGUI: It didn't work, i need my repos set back to the hardy repos | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | Appl3Kork, use whatever editor you want.. vi is just a text editor. | 01:13 |
| jrib | Poldie: sun doesn't have a 64bit plugin. You need to either install an open plugin or install 32bit firefox. If you are on intrepid, icedtea6-plugin should work | 01:14 |
| camero1 | help, i ran the update but it hang at "cleanup." after 3 hours i restarted anyway, and now when i try to run upgrade again it says: "An upgrade from 'intrepid' to 'hardy' is not supported with this tool." | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | Appl3Kork, they assume you know how to use it as a text editor. :) | 01:14 |
| Appl3Kork | o so I can use the command nano or pico? | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | helder: so a little bit of xubuntu left? | 01:14 |
| helder | yes login screen | 01:14 |
| Poldie | jrib: tried both the icetea thing and 32 bit firefox. neither work | 01:14 |
| helder | sebsebseb, login screen | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | Appl3Kork, its JUST a text editor.. i just said.. use whatever editor you want | 01:14 |

| jrib | Poldie: "neither work" isn't helpful. Is icedtea6-plugin currently installed and have you restarted your browser since installing? | 01:15 |

| kneeki | jtisme: Mhmm, my wife's PC just did the CD check, worked fine | 01:16 |
| hacknperl | what a good alternate linux OS... something as easy as ubuntu... | 01:16 |
| jesseboi | Why are the forums fail? eeeek! | 01:16 |
| hacknperl | i had 8.04 working fine.... | 01:16 |
| Slart | twisted`: I've lost count on how many times I've recommended the alternate install cd to someone with problems | 01:16 |
| kneeki | jtisme: Download is going fast though, so no worries. =) | 01:16 |
| DIFH-iceroot | tilde: just test them, everyone likes another one | 01:16 |

| tigerz | cabrioleur, so I have to make the font dir manually? | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | hacknperl, i have issues with upgrades to 8.10. but no problems with a 8.10 clean install.. so try what you want. | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | helder: depends on hardware and there isan't really such a thing | 01:17 |
| Slart | hacknperl: I think most of the major distros are friendly.. fedora, suse, ubuntu etc.. try the live cd's.. see which you like | 01:17 |
| kneeki | jtisme: Hope so =) | 01:17 |

| russianzilla | Guys any idea on how to get restricted drivers working in Intrepid? | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | helder: and Gnome/Ubuntu runs pretty well on 256MB RAM | 01:17 |
| hacknperl | but i did a backup with PING and it wont let me restore it.... so if im going to install another OS i want to try something different i think... 8.10 wont support SATA for me... so anyone know anything similar to ubuntu 8.10? | 01:17 |
| jrib | Poldie: then about:plugins | 01:17 |
| Slart | Poldie: never paste in the channel.. use pastebin | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | russianzilla: yep install the package find it in synaptic | 01:17 |
| kneeki | tilde: Unless someone was using my handle, I don't think so. I havn't used a webcam in like, ... ever? | 01:17 |
| helder | i have a core2duo. ok so wich one is the prettiest ? sebsebseb | 01:17 |
| russianzilla | I upgraded and now they won't enable. | 01:17 |
| Poldie | slart: never heard of pastebin | 01:17 |
| hacknperl | i tried clean install | 01:17 |
| tilde | kneeki i remember you on this irc from a year ago | 01:17 |

| sunil | Hi guys. I broke my X. It starts, but I have no greeter. Is there a way that I can configure a greeter to start ? | 01:18 |
| tilde | you were a pretty cool person kneeki | 01:18 |
| stels88 | http://www.marvell.com/products/pcconn/yukon/index.jsp | 01:18 |
| Slart | !paste | Poldie | 01:18 |
| ubottu | Poldie: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 01:18 |
| sebsebseb | helder: yeah use Ubuntu and you can theme it later if you want | 01:18 |
| kneeki | tilde: My handle is also registered to me, so the topic may have been on something else. I need help a lot =) | 01:18 |
| Slart | Poldie: read up on it.. you'll likely get kicked if you keep pasting stuff in the channel | 01:18 |
| tilde | ah | 01:18 |
| cabrioleur | Bynw, check the filesystem on the cameras with proper fsck. | 01:18 |
| Guest67311 | Just installed 8.10 and am very pleased :) Just one thing though, is it just me or is the speed of everything a bit lagged? I have 2 GB DDR2 and things seemed to be just a bit faster on Hardy | 01:18 |
| Poldie | sorry | 01:18 |
| kanja | Is there an easy way to convert html to a textinfo file? | 01:18 |
| wers | wow. they removed the transmission notification area icon. any idea on how to put it back? | 01:18 |
| kneeki | jtisme: Wife's PC just booted off the CD fine. My PC is just the suck. | 01:18 |
| helder | ok, what about the boot time? is there a way to remove or unable some uneeded services to make it faster? in ubuntu sebsebseb | 01:18 |
| Slart | Poldie: no worries.. common mistake | 01:18 |
| Poldie | i was muted for 15 seconds or something! | 01:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | kanja: html2text ? | 01:19 |
| russianzilla | Ugh, looking like I'm gonna have to reinstall Ubuntu now....... | 01:19 |
| sebsebseb | helder: I expect so, but there aren't really any uneeded services if any at all, this is not Windows | 01:19 |
| jesseboi | Guest67311: Speed of Intrepid has been a concern with many users. | 01:19 |
| tilde | oh this is an awesome conky.rc | 01:19 |
| Poldie | jrib: i'll try that pastebin thing on all the output from that command | 01:19 |
| tilde | even has how much i have downloaded and uploaded! | 01:19 |
| dthacker | helder: perhaps you should look at some performance tools to see if you have a bottleneck somewhere | 01:19 |
| scarface | russianzilla, I am having trouble with the restricted drivers too | 01:19 |
| SidToner | hello... i have a weird problem... i can install things via apt-get but when i try to find packages or install them with synaptic hardly anything shows up... any idea on what would cause this? | 01:19 |
| Slart | Poldie: yes... there are bots that look for people flooding the channel.. it's just a 10 second mute or something | 01:19 |
| kanja | DIFH-iceroot: that converts them to plain text I thought... | 01:19 |
| jrib | SidToner: give an examlp | 01:19 |
| russianzilla | I'm having trouble with everything, scarface. No restricted drivers, Software Sources won't start up, etc. etc. | 01:20 |
| Poldie | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64927/ | 01:20 |
| sebsebseb | SidToner: maybe the sources are not set up right in Synaptic | 01:20 |
| snowveil | so does anyone know how I can get a device (dev/input/by-id/usb-Honey_Bee_AIRFLO-joystick) to be recognized as js0 or js1? | 01:20 |
| storrgie | Anyone using a GTX260? i cannot get mine to work | 01:20 |
| sunil | I recall that there is a commandline mode that I can use to repair X. Can someone remind me how to get there? | 01:20 |
| SidToner | jrib: vlc, restricted-extras | 01:20 |
| scarface | russianzilla, oh bummer | 01:20 |
| jrib | Poldie: k. We need to fix your sources.list, but we will do that later. How about about:plugins? | 01:20 |
| jrib | SidToner: is the problem currently present with vlc? | 01:20 |
| LjL | sunil: reboot into recovery mode, there is a "xfix" option | 01:20 |
| sunil | LjL: Hi. | 01:21 |
| foxfire559 | has anyone had 8.10 freeze when connecting to a wireless network? | 01:21 |
| jesseboi | Intrepid won't even boot on my laptop. Kinda makes me sad. hehe | 01:21 |

| Sjaki | Hi guys, i'm running 8.10 RC and I am having trouble locating my mysql headers - the ones installed with LAMP | 01:21 |
| Sjaki | Could someone help me out please? | 01:21 |
| sunil | Is there an xfix mode from the command line in normal mode? | 01:21 |
| sabaua | yes | 01:21 |
| masmota | just installed 8.10, can someone tell me where to put in my workgroup for a win network? | 01:21 |
| jrib | Sjaki: why do you need them? | 01:21 |
| Poldie | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64930/ | 01:21 |
| storrgie | Is anyone using a GTX 260 with 8.10? | 01:21 |
| Sjaki | I am starting a pvpgn server and I need the directory | 01:22 |
| SidToner | jrib: i was able to install it from comand line but i can't use the gui to search through packages they just don't show up... well anything except the basic installed packages | 01:22 |
| Sjaki | for the configure script to successfully run | 01:22 |
| sunil | LjL: oh wait - I seem to remember that there is a way that I can "shutdown" into xfix mode. | 01:22 |
| jrib | Poldie: what does this site tell you about java: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml ? | 01:22 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !anyone | storrgie | 01:22 |
| ubottu | storrgie: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 01:22 |
| sunil | I found it accidently once. | 01:22 |
| LjL | !xconfig | sunil, perhaps you mean this? | 01:22 |
| ubottu | sunil, perhaps you mean this?: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 01:22 |

| helder | is there a way to check hotmail mails like windows live mail in windows? the client ? not the webpage login. sebsebseb | 01:23 |
| sunil | ubottu: no - that's not the one. | 01:23 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:23 |
| Max_ | access point is the router | 01:23 |
| storrgie | DIFH-iceroot: how would you suggest I ask about the GTX200 series card? I need to find someone else who is using it | 01:23 |
| jrib | SidToner: hit "reload" and then search for "vlc". Does it fail to find anything? | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | !autostart | Dorobo18jp | 01:23 |
| ubottu | Dorobo18jp: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:23 |
| DIFH-iceroot | storrgie: just post your problems (maybe with log file) | 01:23 |
| sunil | ubottu: :) I'm sure you are smarter than I am | 01:23 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | helder: Pidgin can tell you when you got new Hotmail email, as long as your also using it for MSN | 01:23 |
| storrgie | DIFH-iceroot: no log, dont know how to troubleshoot | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | sunil, ubottu is a bot that just spits out factoids | 01:23 |
| SidToner | jrib: yeah i hit reload and change to different mirrors to make sure | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | helder: hotmail sucks, Gmail :) | 01:23 |
| Poldie | jrib: says the jre isn't working on my system. been there earlier - if i pop back a few times it's likely to display the applet but the dancing animation will be mostly covered by a box saying `more information`, and when i click on it it'll tell me java 1.0.6 (i think - something like that) is installed. i'll try and provoke that behaviour now to see exactly what it says | 01:24 |
| sunil | dr_willis: I'm still sure that he is smarter than I am. :] | 01:24 |
| Slart | helder: I think there is some kind of webmail plugin for thunderbird | 01:24 |
| helder | i have 2 sebsebseb gmail and hotmail | 01:24 |
| jrib | SidToner: don't know sounds weird. You could try using an empty sources.list, hitting reload, then fixing the sources.list, hitting reload again. That seems to fix "weird" issues | 01:24 |
| Slart | helder: it's not in the repos.. you have to find it using google or something | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | sunil, its amuseing when i see people 'argue' with him. :) | 01:24 |
| eriq | Does anybody know if there's a different conky variable for the IBM ACPI stuff? Updating to kernel 2.6.24-21 seems to have broken it. | 01:24 |
| Max_ | Does Tor really work? | 01:24 |
| helder | Slart, thank you :) gonna try that | 01:24 |
| dekkong_ | Max_: he wants the other computers on the network to go through that computer when they connect to the internet | 01:24 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Max_: yes | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | !ics | 01:24 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | helder: you can use hotmail webmail in Linux | 01:24 |
| SidToner | jrib: just delete sources.list? | 01:25 |
| Slart | helder: this is the one, http://webmail.mozdev.org/ | 01:25 |
| ||Okkoto|| | Hummm interesting. Check it: http://www.360Elite4free.com/index.php?ref=5491516 | 01:25 |
| sunil | dr_willis: I gotta see that sometime. Oh wait. I nearly just did that myself. | 01:25 |
| jrib | Poldie: yes, well you're using open java, not sun's. It's working fine | 01:25 |
| sunil | I knew he was smarter than me! | 01:25 |
| Max_ | yes but you can also do it by the terminal | 01:25 |
| sunil | LjL: Can you remind me how to restart in xfix mode ? | 01:25 |
| TraceRoute | Wow, repo servers are so slow. . . . . | 01:25 |
| jrib | SidToner: I guess you could move it somewhere (so you could restore it easily) or comment everything | 01:25 |
| storrgie | I am having trouble getting my GTX260 running in intrepid, does anyone have suggestions? | 01:25 |
| masmota | is there a spot to enter your network's workgroup in 8.10? | 01:26 |
| helder | thank you | 01:26 |
| SidToner | jrib: ok i'll give it a shot... thanks! | 01:26 |
| Slart | masmota: somewhere in samba.. since that's the only thing that uses workgroups | 01:26 |
| KevinO | hello why cant i get flash to work properly i installed adobe flash nonfree but flash does not work properly, i have to click on them to start them | 01:26 |
| Slart | masmota: check /etc/samba/smb.conf | 01:26 |
| helder | i dont like pidgin. i think emesene is "cooler" sebsebseb | 01:26 |
| Max_ | if the computer that you are geting the internet is running windows, go to the network and in the adapter go to properties and in advance share internet connection | 01:26 |
| codemaster | so i am having a lovely problem with intrepid... it seems that i am having nvidia driver issues... i have reinstalled nvidia drivers version 177, but they still don't work. | 01:26 |
| woody86 | anyone know where I can find a service manual for an Averatec 3200? | 01:26 |
| KevinO | and some flash apps do not work | 01:26 |
| Poldie | jrib: see, i restarted the browser, pasted the url and exactly what i said would happen is happening. it's saying ` you are using an older version of jre. you can download the latest version from the link above. your java config is vendor: sun, version: java 6 update | 01:26 |
| Poldie | jrib: wouldn't say it's working fine! | 01:27 |
| DIFH-iceroot | woody86: google :( | 01:27 |
| jrib | Poldie: pasted what url? | 01:27 |
| storrgie | codemaster: what card? | 01:27 |
| LjL | sunil, you can access recovery mode from the GRUB menu. the GRUB menu shows up if you hit Esc right before Ubuntu starts booting | 01:27 |
| TraceRoute | is upgrading from hardy messy? | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | Kevin0: yeah Flash in Ubuntu I get my own issues with that, but I guess that's what happens when it's a crappyish propritary program. and so any bugs only Adobe can fix | 01:27 |
| mib_20a176 | how to know my ubuntu which was in rc is now in final? | 01:27 |
| codemaster | storrgie: geforce 8600 mobile | 01:27 |
| woody86 | DIFH-iceroot- I'm trying, but not finding anything so far :( | 01:27 |
| DIFH-iceroot | TraceRoute: works fine | 01:27 |
| Max_ | what flash are you using | 01:27 |
| jrib | !final | mib_20a176 | 01:27 |
| ubottu | mib_20a176: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Intrepid. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | mib_20a176: as long as you apply all updates RC will update to final | 01:27 |
| storrgie | codemaster: should not have an issue with 177 | 01:27 |
| masmota | Slart: maybe i asked the wrong question... im going to "network servers" and it lists my workgroup, but when i click it, its empty. ? | 01:27 |
| Max_ | you can install know flash 10 in ubuntu without a problem | 01:27 |
| remu | Anyone know how i might be able to upgrade openoffice.org 2.4 to 3.0 in intrepid? is there a repo somewhere that might enable me to do it? | 01:27 |
| ttwio | helder: hi, pidgin is simple but you can be on all the aim and net you want to at the same time, that is cool to :) | 01:27 |
| Poldie | jrib: the one you told me to use: : http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml ? | 01:27 |
| sunil | LjL: thanks | 01:28 |
| foxfire559 | my laptop freezes whenever I try to connect to my school's wireless network, is there a way to keep it from freezing | 01:28 |
| codemaster | storrgie: right; I did a reisntall of the 177 drivers and reconfigured my xserver-xorg, but it says it can't load "type1" or the nvidia module | 01:28 |
| Max_ | upgrade to ubuntu 8.10? | 01:28 |
| ianliu_88 | How much Swap space should I use? | 01:28 |
| KevinO | my flash worked fine before i had to reinstall | 01:28 |
| jrib | Poldie: because you are using open java, not sun's java. | 01:28 |
| dft | anyone familiar with nm-ppp-auth-dialog? | 01:28 |
| helder | yeah i only like x-chat to irc, gonna check amsn now if it has a msn live 9 theme look a like, its great ttwio | 01:28 |
| masmota | ianliu_88: double your ram as a rule of thumb | 01:28 |
| sunil | By the way, I'm also getting this problem with ibis and I'm wondering if anyone else is getting it.. | 01:28 |
| storrgie | codemaster: dont know man, i have a GTX260 and i cannot get it to run with 177 or the binary drivers | 01:28 |
| === alexbobp_ is now known as alexbobp | ||
| sebsebseb | ianliu_88: how much RAM do you have? | 01:28 |
| eriq | remu: There's a PPA out there somewhere, but I don't know the details | 01:28 |
| sunil | It doesn't seem to complete shutting down | 01:29 |
| Slart | masmota: well... I still think it's a samba issue.. linux doesn't normally use workgroups.. it's something windows invented for their file sharing stuff afaik | 01:29 |
| DIFH-iceroot | ianliu_88: depends on what you are doing | 01:29 |
| Fishscene | Any reports on compatibility of VMWare Server 2.0 and Ubuntu 8.10? | 01:29 |
| tilde | what format would i save a conky script as? | 01:29 |
| ianliu_88 | I've got 2Gb ram | 01:29 |
| Poldie | jrib: that's why the applet doesn't work properly? | 01:29 |
| Max_ | you can get java runtime 6 form your add and remove | 01:29 |
| obx | guys | 01:29 |
| jrib | Poldie: probably | 01:29 |
| obx | what ubuntu should i be downloading for my 64 bit system? | 01:29 |
| Max_ | just search for java and you will see it | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | tilde, conky config files are just text files | 01:29 |
| Slart | masmota: and samba is the software in linux that talks "windows".. | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | ianliu_88: I run 1GB RAM and no SWAP, and things run rather well. I would suggest 512MB RAM swap for you if any at all | 01:29 |
| dft | anyone familiar with nm-ppp-auth-dialog? | 01:29 |
| sunil | The bar that shows on shutdown never completes. | 01:29 |
| Poldie | jrib: so do you think that's why the java applet on the site i'm having trouble with isn't working? | 01:29 |

| sunil | I often have to manually power off. | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | ianliu_88: 512MB swap if any at all for you I would suggest | 01:29 |
| obx | yes but will 32bit show i have 4gb of ram? | 01:29 |
| obx | :( | 01:29 |
| jrib | mib_20a176: final is nothing special, it's just rc with updates | 01:30 |
| roxan | tilde, what do you mean? | 01:30 |
| Poldie | jrib: so what i need is the offical sun java support? if/when it finally turns up? | 01:30 |
| sunil | I'm a bit worried about that. | 01:30 |
| remu | eriq: will the ppa install openoffice 3.0 alongside 2.4, or will it update 2.4.....I want it to update 2.4 | 01:30 |

| tarelerulz | do any of you have more then 3 diffent linux distro on one hard drive ? if so how did you do that ? | 01:30 |
| Slart | obx: only the 32-bit server version will use 4GB.. and all the 64-bit versions of course | 01:30 |
| eriq | The PPA is supposed to update. Haven't tried it myself. | 01:30 |
| DIFH-iceroot | tilde: cd ~/.conky/amarok | 01:30 |

| codemaster | storrgie: i am thinking maybe reconfigure xserver-xorg and then viewing my x configuration and making sure it looks okay, i guess? | 01:30 |
| DIFH-iceroot | obx: yes | 01:30 |
| tilde | how do i create that directory? | 01:30 |
| obx | cause when i try it in vmware it says my system isn't 64 bit but it is | 01:30 |
| storrgie | codemaster: im doing the same thing right now | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | ianliu_88: I think I read before that swap shoudn't be any bigger than 512MB really | 01:30 |

| Singer2 | how do I load the ath5K driver? it use to work on the beta but its not loading for me | 01:31 |
| obx | i know i'm running 64 bit vista | 01:31 |
| Slart | david1: /etc/resolv.conf I think | 01:31 |
| Poldie | i don't have a swap partition. i have 4 gigs of ram. do i need a swap partition? and if I don't have one and i run out of memory, will i get a pleasant message or will ubuntu crash or something? | 01:31 |
| david1 | Slart thanks | 01:31 |

| sebsebseb | Poldie: I run 1GB RAM and without a swap space at all, and things run pretty well | 01:32 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Poldie: kernell s killing some prozesses | 01:32 |

| === ConstantineXVI_ is now known as ConstantineXVI | ||
| codemaster | storrgie: haha, yeah, that's what xserver-xorg does | 01:32 |
| storrgie | codemaster: any suggestions? | 01:32 |
| roxan | Poldie, sebsebseb it depends on what you use on your computer, i too have a GB of ram and it never crosses 60 | 01:32 |
| Max_ | how is working VMware in your linux system? good? | 01:32 |
| Poldie | slart: i'm not on a laptop -never use hibernate. | 01:32 |
| codemaster | storrgie: nope :( | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | Poldie, i would say make a 512mb swap partition just in case.. | 01:32 |
| sebsebseb | Slart: for sleep mode how big should a swap be? | 01:32 |
| storrgie | codemaster: i just want to remove the bin drivers.... | 01:32 |
| codemaster | storrgie: ah | 01:33 |
| Slart | Poldie: then you'll be fine without swap.. or just put 1GB or something | 01:33 |
| Poldie | dr_willis: just 512? | 01:33 |
| gandalfcome | It doesnt give me the dist-upgrade option in the update-manager, I tried -c -d and so on im on 8.04 | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | Poldie, if nothing else.. any live cds you may ever use.. will see it also | 01:33 |
| storrgie | how do i remove the nvidia bin drivers? | 01:33 |
| codemaster | i guess i'll try a bit of fussing and see what happens... | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | Poldie, i make 512mb swap on every hd i have.. :) just in case | 01:33 |
| Slart | sebsebseb: I don't think sleep needs swap.. hibernate needs as much swap as memory | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | Poldie: I think I read that swap should be no bigger than 512MB RAM | 01:33 |
| codemaster | storrgie: sudo aptitude purge maybe | 01:33 |
| Singer2 | anyone? | 01:33 |
| Singer2 | I can't get the ath5K module to work in 8.10 | 01:33 |
| Singer2 | to get reconigze my wifi card | 01:33 |

| storrgie | How do i remove the nvidia bin drivers? | 01:33 |
| pawan | hi | 01:33 |
| Poldie | sebsebseb: i thought swap partitions should be quite big otherwise you're just going to get an extra 512mb ram. why not have 5 gigs of extra 'ram'? | 01:33 |
| attonbitusira | Hi. Can someone provide me with a link to the md5sum for ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso please ? | 01:33 |
| pawan | when is the new version coming out | 01:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: is a dynamic file with max X MB not static X MB | 01:34 |
| Poldie | pawan: 6 months time! | 01:34 |
| moffa | its already out | 01:34 |

| === Computer is now known as Computor | ||

| Fishscene | pawan, what new version? A new version was released in the past 24 hours | 01:34 |
| ConstantineXVI | Singer2: terminal, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, add in "blacklist ath_pci" at the bottom | 01:34 |
| CITguy08 | Poldie: typically your swap should be about half the size of your physical ram | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | Slart: yeah that's what I thought, I mean I read stuff about how Linux is crap with power management | 01:34 |
| pawan | gow to upgrade | 01:34 |
| tilde | HOLY HELL | 01:34 |
| tilde | http://blog.brixandersen.dk/images/conky.png | 01:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | pawan: 31.10.08 | 01:34 |
| pawan | how | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | Oh yea. if using suspend/hibernate you will want a bigger swap.. | 01:34 |
| Lonewolfnight | why does ubuntu override xorg.conf settings and how can I specify modeline? | 01:34 |
| woli | what makes me doubt that the update was installed is that after the installation the installer disapeared, without 'cleaning up' or asking for reboot... | 01:34 |
| tilde | thats one insane conky setup | 01:34 |
| darklust | Is 8.10 worth it or should I stick to 8.04? | 01:34 |
| tilde | 8.04 | 01:34 |
| Singer2 | darklust | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | darklust, use what you want.. | 01:34 |
| CITguy08 | Poldie: however, since you have 4GB, you probably won't need swap | 01:34 |
| storrgie | how do i remove the nvidia bin drivers? | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | darklust: to be honset 8.10 is hardly worth it unless | 01:35 |
| Singer2 | the 8.10 release is worse then the beta | 01:35 |
| Slart | darklust: wait a week and see how much complaining there is in here | 01:35 |
| DIFH-iceroot | darklust: 8.04 is LTS | 01:35 |
| tilde | 8.04 ^^ | 01:35 |
| Poldie | citguy08: that's what i thought. but if i run out of ram, what happens? nice message or a crash? | 01:35 |
| darklust | Ok | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | Ive had no real issues with 8.10 so far.. other then its not wanting to automount my usb thumbdrive | 01:35 |
| sebsebseb | darklust: unless you want it to be able to shut down itself after a minute, if you leave it on the shut down and that screen | 01:35 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Poldie: kernel is killing prozesses if you are out of ram and out of swap | 01:35 |
| earthen | tring to install AWN but it's not starting could someone give me some help with it | 01:35 |
| woli | help dammit.. | 01:35 |
| sunil | Durn - neither xfix or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will allow me to change the greeter. | 01:35 |
| CITguy08 | Poldie: to tell you the truth, I have no clue. But my system has 2GB and I never see swap being used at all. | 01:35 |
| Singer2 | dr_willis: with the 8.10 beta, my wireless worked, with the 8.10 release it doesn't work.. hence beta= better then release | 01:35 |
| lucax | can i resize ntfs partitions with gparted? | 01:36 |
| woli | how shity... there is no new background in intrepid? | 01:36 |

| DIFH-iceroot | lucax: yes but make a backup | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | lucax: yes you can, but if you got Vista I woudn't recommend you resize VIsta NTFS with Gparted | 01:36 |
| roxan | lucax, you need ntfstool | 01:36 |
| pawan | how to upgrade | 01:36 |
| tritium | woli: yes, there is a new background image | 01:36 |
| sunil | The sole brokeness is that there is no greeter. | 01:36 |
| woli | then my ibex didn't install wel.... | 01:36 |
| FAJALOU | is there any alternative way to install 8.10 that is faster than update manager? | 01:36 |
| Poldie | sounds like i should have swap partition just in case. i'd look for tutorial on ubuntuforums but it's down! | 01:36 |
| Fishscene | Torrents | 01:36 |
| CITguy08 | sunil: is gdm installed? | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | Singer2, wireless onboth my laptops finally worked with just a few clicks for me under 8.10 - so to each their own.. :) | 01:36 |
| roxan | FAJALOU, CD | 01:36 |
| Slart | FAJALOU: download a intrepid cd using torrents.. use that to upgrade | 01:37 |
| cishpix | anyone can give me answer, does ubuntu 8.10 support atheros AR5007? | 01:37 |
| sunil | gdm is installed yes, but... | 01:37 |
| RickZilla | http://www.rickscheibner.net/images/gobeavstanner.jpg My latest creation based on some tutorials and just by messing around in GIMP...check it out, would love some feedback, pro or con | 01:37 |
| lucax | roxan: so... sudo apt-get install ntsftool and then umount /media/disk and then run gparted? | 01:37 |
| FAJALOU | Slart: won't that wipe the hdd? | 01:37 |
| sunil | I set up e17's greeter to be the default greeter | 01:37 |
| fallore | Starting firefox creates a new process but does not actually open up firefox for me to use. This is after firefox crashed earlier (for no discernible reason) and has happened to me before. I'm running 8.04 | 01:37 |
| roxan | lucax, its suppose to. but use liveCD of gparted. | 01:37 |
| centaur5 | cishpix: My Atheros 5007 was supported since Gutsy | 01:37 |
| Slart | FAJALOU: you can use an install cd to upgrade from | 01:37 |
| FAJALOU | Slart: really? it gives that option? | 01:37 |
| sunil | but the e17 greeter is borked. | 01:37 |
| lucax | roxan: thanks | 01:37 |
| FAJALOU | sveet! | 01:37 |
| Singer2 | cishpix: NO..., it was in beta but not in release | 01:37 |
| Slart | FAJALOU: yes | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | is it a bad idea to upgrade a computer that has 256MB RAM and that is old, an old lap top. that runs Hardy pretty well, to Ibex? I think probably not worth it | 01:37 |
| Singer2 | centaur5: how did you get it to work? | 01:37 |
| sunil | I may have even borked e17. | 01:37 |
| pawan | when i am running automatic update it is not updating to new version | 01:37 |
| cishpix | centaur5, but in my acer 4715z doesn't support it when I install gutsy | 01:38 |
| pawan | i am on 8.04 | 01:38 |
| FAJALOU | Slart: where does it give that option? | 01:38 |
| Fishscene | fallore: Try restarting the computer | 01:38 |
| Baatti | um... | 01:38 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: never touch a running system!!!!!! | 01:38 |
| attonbitusira | anyone have link to md5sum list? | 01:38 |
| sunil | So I have nothing to pass me into a windowing system. | 01:38 |
| centaur5 | Singer2: It worked as soon as I updated from Feisty to Gutsy. | 01:38 |
| fallore | Fishscene: i know that that would fix it, but i would like to fix the issue at the root of the problem, not just stop it for a while | 01:38 |
| Baatti | so I for some reason can't mount this .iso onto my disc | 01:38 |
| Slart | FAJALOU: either in the install menu or when you insert the cd with the system running | 01:38 |

| jdsbluedevl | hi, I have a new problem, this time with hardware. While trying to get my Dell 1703FP working with Ubuntu and playing around with xorg.conf settings, I saw that the screen went blank. I turned it off and on, and the screen remained blank. I took out the connector cable, and the screen STILL was blank (as in, there should be something floating around). What the hell did I do, and how do I fix it? | 01:38 |
| DIFH-iceroot | sebsebseb: you are aksing is it good to update a working hardy | 01:38 |
| Yuretsz | How can I disable How can I disable screensaver using ssh? | 01:38 |
| centaur5 | cishpix: Must be a different iteration then or something. I used a TI card with Feisty til Gutsy came out. | 01:38 |
| Singer2 | centaur5: i HAVE a atheros 242X | 01:38 |
| FAJALOU | Slart: is it still recommended to run it through update-manager -d? | 01:38 |
| sunil | CITguy08: I know there is a way to tell xserver to use gdm as a greeter, but I don't know how to do it. | 01:39 |
| Singer2 | it works in the beta but the release is broken | 01:39 |
| Fishscene | fallore: not sure then =\ Have you double-checked that closing firefox actually kills all firefox processes? | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | DIFH-iceroot: no if it's good idea to update that particular lap top | 01:39 |
| Slart | FAJALOU: I think it will be the same in the end | 01:39 |
| jrib | attonbitusira: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/MD5SUMS | 01:39 |
| CITguy08 | sunil: let me look into it | 01:39 |

| attonbitusira | perfect. thanks! | 01:39 |

| jrib | pr0fane: not possible... type 'wine --version' now | 01:42 |

| Blaenk | someone please? it's a simple question but it keeps getting scrolled up, and my friend is growing impatient :( | 01:43 |
| q0r3 | so i wanted to install 8.10, and the live session is acting really strangely on me. any window i try to open, the window crashes almost instantaneously, and the gnome panels disappear, then reappear. i tried googling using w3m, but coudlnt' find anything. also tried installing irssi, but it told me apt-get had a memory violation (not sure if this is beacuse it was a live session, or if it's further indication of something wrong) | 01:43 |
| jrib | pr0fane: type 'hash -r' and run 'which wine' again | 01:43 |
| q0r3 | (back in windows now) | 01:43 |
| lucax | roxan: thanks, the name of the package was ntfsprogs, but worked quite well... did umount and then gparted, thank you! | 01:43 |
| Blaenk | q0r3: try the alternate install disk | 01:43 |
| Dante123 | Anyone tried getting COD5 beta to work under Wine??? | 01:43 |
| asarch | Thank you Singer2 | 01:43 |
| pr0fane | jrib: /usr/local/bin/wine | 01:43 |
| jrib | pr0fane: so does /usr/local/ tell you anything? | 01:43 |
| MarkJones | Im puzzled cause Brother offers Debian drivers for my printer, and it works perfectly in Debian 4.0 etch (stable).Tried the driver in Ubuntu since they seemed to have dropped or changed the old driver that worked.Not sure why that same driver doesnt work in Ubuntu. | 01:43 |
| CITguy08 | q0r3: did you check the disk for defects? | 01:44 |
| q0r3 | Blaenk, but this has never beeen a problem for me. the live session has always worked beautifully. i'm not interested in installing at all if this is how ubuntu will behave. | 01:44 |
| roxan | q0r3, did you checked cd for defects? | 01:44 |
| Dante123 | I am trying and it seems to install, but error after that (Unhandled exception caught etc.) | 01:44 |
| roxan | Blaenk, what is your problem | 01:44 |
| addicted68098 | Help, I can't unmute the line-in on a sound card I just installed through the Alsa mixer! | 01:44 |
| q0r3 | doing that right now. | 01:44 |

| pr0fane | jrib: not realy | 01:44 |
| attonbitusira | md5 is correct... looks like I need a new cdrom drive | 01:44 |
| Blaenk | q0r3: that's not how ubuntu will behave, it's probably just the live cd, did you check for defects? | 01:44 |
| roxan | Dante123, check at wine's site | 01:44 |
| SidToner | jrib: seems to be working better perhaps it's just the quicksearch window in synaptic is kinda worthless | 01:44 |
| jrib | pr0fane: you probably compiled wine yourself and installed it | 01:44 |
| SidToner | jrib: thanks again | 01:44 |
| Blaenk | roxan: in the ubuntu live CD, in the partition step, I want to delete my old ext3 and swap partitions and then choose the 'install to largest continuous free space' option, where can I go to delete my old partitions? is there a disk editor in the ubuntu live CD? where can I find it? | 01:44 |
| clayg | when i goto reboot, shutdown or lock screen it sort of freezes for 10 or so seconds before giving me the box with the options | 01:44 |
| jrib | SidToner: ah, glad you figured it out | 01:44 |
| sunil | yikes | 01:44 |
| Lonewolfnight | attonbitusira: burn cd at low rate sometimes helps | 01:44 |
| q0r3 | Blaenk, doing it now, figured i'd come here to ask if anyone had reported somethign similar | 01:44 |
| pr0fane | jrib: yes i did | 01:44 |
| jrib | pr0fane: then you need to uninstall that | 01:44 |

| Dante123 | roxan I did....not one word about COD5 beta. Is there a wine irc chat channel??? | 01:45 |
| sunil | CITguy08: thanks for link. Reading now... | 01:45 |
| roxan | Blaenk, In one of the installation steps you will be asked for exactly the same | 01:45 |
| MarkJones | Blaenk If you want to wipe everything from your drive and install Ubuntu fresh then choose the option to use the entire drive. | 01:45 |
| Blaenk | no MarkJones, I have my windows partition there | 01:45 |
| roxan | Dante123, i bet there is | 01:45 |
| attonbitusira | @Lonewolfnight, you think it got corrupted during burn process? Install is currently *very slow* during select and install software stage | 01:45 |
| FAJALOU | Singer2: get on and see the release notes; http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 01:45 |
| jrib | pr0fane: you probably ran 'make install' at some point. You can try 'make uninstall' from the directory you compiled (same place you ran 'make install'). If it doesn't provide an uninstall rule, then you need to delete it manually | 01:45 |

| cishpix | centaur5, do u have any suggest about my problem? | 01:46 |
| pr0fane | jrib: i already deleted the directory, where i run make install | 01:46 |
| jrib | pr0fane: get it again | 01:46 |
| Singer2 | FAJALOU: yes, I installed the wierd package.. and I did a rmmod ath_pci and ath_hal | 01:46 |
| roxan | Dorobo18jp, there is screenlet and google's widget also work | 01:46 |
| Singer2 | but still no luck | 01:46 |

| q0r3 | oh WHAT THE FUCK. looks like ubuntu has messed up both of my external hard drievs. that's 1.2 TB of data. | 01:46 |
| Blaenk | manual will let me delete ext3/swap partitions while preserving my ntfs partition right MarkJones and roxan? but then I want to use the 'use largest continuous free space' option so that it can install in newly freed space, I would just click back right | 01:46 |

| Dorobo18jp | thanks roxan | 01:46 |
| pr0fane | pr0fane: i downloaded it again, but i can`t do make uninstall | 01:46 |
| roxan | Blaenk, no | 01:46 |
| centaur5 | cishpix: I don't, as I told you previously it's most likely a bug and you need to file it on launchpad. | 01:47 |
| pr0fane | jrib: i downloaded it again, but i can`t do make uninstall | 01:47 |
| Blaenk | roxan: no what? | 01:47 |
| FAJALOU | Singer2: you could try removing them from modprobe... | 01:47 |
| chadeldridge | Any news on VPN getting fixed? | 01:47 |
| attonbitusira | q0r3: you should store your data separately from your OS | 01:47 |
| jrib | pr0fane: you need to do the ./configure, make, dance first probably | 01:47 |
| CITguy08 | q0r3: are you getting errors or what is going on? | 01:47 |
| roxan | Blaenk, choose manual, then delete the partition you wish and create the same | 01:47 |
| Blaenk | I guess I'll have to use acronis disk director in WINDOWS just to delete the partitions and free up the space before I can install ubuntu then right? I was pretty sure I was able to do it within ubuntu...using gparted or something | 01:47 |
| Singer2 | FAJALOU: I did a rmmod [name] and rmmod [name2] | 01:47 |

| Singer2 | but when I reboot it comes back | 01:47 |

| jrib | does anyone have good documentation on hotplug? In particular I want to setup synaptics touchpad options | 01:48 |
| Blaenk | no roxan I don't want to create them myself, my friend is the one installing linux and he's new to it, I want him to delete the old partitions then use the 'choose largest continuous free space' option which does everything automatically, so from my understanding, he would choose manual, delete the partitions, then hit the back button to get to the step where he chose manual but this time choose the 'install to largest continuous free space' option | 01:48 |
| Blaenk | right? | 01:48 |
| roxan | tilde, its nice but this is a support channel | 01:48 |

| cabrioleur | brandon_m_pace, alsa is not problematic. | 01:48 |
| brandon_m_pace | addicted68098: ah | 01:49 |
| jesseboi | q0r3: Shutdown computer, detach drive, power up back into Windows and try pluggin the drive in again. | 01:49 |
| brandon_m_pace | cabrioleur: I just use pulse | 01:49 |
| roxan | Blaenk, i dont think that will work, you need to apply the changes and if you go back they will be undone. so what can he do is run gparted delete the ext3 and run installer | 01:49 |
| dedal | hello anybody, have a question about ubuntu desktop 8.10. After boot from cd on choose "Try Ubuntu without any changes ..." or "Install Ubuntu" read this on the screen: | 01:49 |
| ||Okkoto|| | Alright guys, check it out! I just figured out a very easy way to take advantage of the free XBox 360 Elite giveaway that Blockbuster, Amazon, Netflix, etc, is doing! It's simple, 1) Sign up 2) Complete an Offer (I just found a good one that doesn't cost money and can be canceled before the charges happen) 3) Get 8 to 11 of your buddies or peoples to do the same. Bam! Free XBox 360! I know it's legit becaus | 01:49 |
| q0r3 | jesseboi, might as well. i can't even check if the iso was corrupt or not now. | 01:49 |
| ||Okkoto|| | PM me if you are interested | 01:49 |
| cabrioleur | unitedp0tsmokers, the servers are very slow and might cause timeout a lot. I recommend waiting a day or 2, or download CD through bittorent. | 01:49 |
| ||Okkoto|| | I need about 6 more people to go | 01:49 |
| roxan | unitedp0tsmokers, please put the error message | 01:49 |

| ||Okkoto|| | I've got some Youtube videos that show it's valitity as well. | 01:50 |
| Blaenk | roxan: can I get to gparted before the installer comes up? in previous livecd installer versions I was, but in this version, which I just installed on my home computer a few hours ago, it just shows the installer and nothing else (no top menu i mean) | 01:50 |
| CITguy08 | q0r3: don't actually do anything to your external drive until we know exactly what's going on with it. You may still have data on there, but Windows doesn't know how to read it. | 01:50 |
| brandon_m_pace | I recommend that everyone use the torrents | 01:50 |

| brandon_m_pace | addicted68098: is your main sound server pulseaudio? | 01:51 |

| CITguy08 | TheSHAD0W: you can pass additional parameters prior to booting. I don't think you can edit the boot config on a Live CD. | 01:57 |

| unitedpotsmokers | hi, good morning guys, im using hardy heron, but now i want to upgrade my system. when upgrading process started, then i got an error msg, it sounds like i have a problem with my internet connection, i repeat this upgrade twice but untill now i cannot upgrade.. what should i do? pls help | 02:00 |
| CITguy08 | sunil: have you restarted the system since the reconfigure? | 02:00 |
| sunil | CITguy08: thanks for you assistance. But I've got to go back into the real world. | 02:00 |
| drumstyk1 | roxan: not sure what you are asking, but i am putting them in the terminal so that i can have admin privs to change things such as sharing options | 02:00 |
| sunil | CITguy08: no. I'll give that a try. | 02:00 |
| CITguy08 | ok, no problem. Good luck. | 02:01 |
| roxan | drumstyk1, you mean gnome-terminal? | 02:01 |
| sunil | :) | 02:01 |
| keystr0k | csilk, yuppers. I think you should try that... works well | 02:01 |
| keystr0k | csilk, rsync has SO many options huh! | 02:01 |
| drumstyk1 | mr_polite: the only theme-ish thing i have installed is the desktop effects eye candy stuff and it has worked since then | 02:01 |
| l337ingDisorder | fallore: well when you figure out the command-line arguments needed to run irssi, you put that command into the .bashrc file (usually just put stuff at the bottom to have it run when the user's login process is finishing up) | 02:01 |
| dedal | roxan, on cd-checking it writes the same " ... kernel panic ..."; md5 sum - 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03 *ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso. What to do with md5? | 02:01 |

| Spoom | hi folks, i was trying to run apt-p2p to get the upgrade, but i had to kill it as it was just loading for hours on end and only seemed to download two packages... now that i've switched my sources back, the update manager suggests i run a partial upgrade, which fails with the message that it doesn't support upgrading from intrepid to hardy(!), any ideas as to how i can run the upgrade fully again? | 02:25 |
| eatablecrayon_ | be back in a bit | 02:25 |
| n8tuser | CVirus-> halt perhaps? but something i would not do | 02:26 |

| === MothOnLovesFlame is now known as tmapj | ||
| jrib | nootrope: for what purpose? | 02:27 |
| Spoom | danbh_intrepid, i don't think that would ultimately work as the update manager seems to be in a weird state right now, and won't let me do a partial upgrade at all | 02:27 |
| chadeldridge | jimminy_cricket: do this : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 02:28 |
| drumstyk1 | nootrope: are you an aggie? | 02:28 |
| jimminy_cricket | chadeldridge: what have you searched, i can't find anything | 02:28 |
| n8tuser | outofthemadness-> look perhaps in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf ? | 02:28 |

| nootrope | jrib, have to add an entry for django | 02:28 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | chadeldridge: does the -phigh do anything, really, other than elevate the process to be a higher priority? | 02:28 |
| danbh_intrepid | Spoom: or, you could try a quick fix, and look at your sources.lst. Much less ideal. No, the alternate cd has its own updater I think. I bet it could redo the process | 02:28 |
| jrib | BoltClock: yep, remember you are on a live cd :) | 02:28 |
| jrib | nootrope: just for your user or system-wide? | 02:28 |
| nootrope | drumstyke1, aggie? | 02:28 |

| TheSHAD0W | Trying to install ubuntu onto a jump drive (full install, not live CD), the installer doesn't see the drive... How do I go about this? | 02:35 |
| drumstyk1 | Sylphid: check this out for dual monitors, it helped me out http://www.lockergnome.com/linux/2007/06/18/dual-monitors-with-ubuntu/ | 02:36 |
| J_Man | hey guys - is there a iso similar to the debian netinst image available? I want to install ubuntu server into a vmware image on my colo box, but don't want to burn the bandwidth of downloading a whole CD there | 02:36 |
| TheSHAD0W | !install | 02:36 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 02:36 |

| === l337ingDisorder is now known as TexanCoyote | ||
| outofthemadness | CITguy08: Should I put it on pastebin or what? What should I be looking for | 02:36 |
| n8tuser | TheSHAD0W-> is the drive mounted? point your install script to the mount point | 02:36 |
| Sylphid | drumstyk1, that will allow me to have a mirrored display so monitor0 and monitor1 are the same.... i can also run a seperate X server on both monitors however i cant seem to have seperate displays from the same X server | 02:36 |
| Pici | !minimal | J_Man | 02:36 |
| ubottu | J_Man: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:36 |
| nshater | I just updated to 8.10 and my sound has stopped working anyone know how to solve this problem. All I'm hearing is crackling. | 02:36 |
| J_Man | perfect thanks Pici :) | 02:36 |
| snova | why would NetworkManager not save my settings across a reboot? | 02:36 |
| TheSHAD0W | How do I point the install script at it? When I run install, it only shows the system's main drive. | 02:36 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> so? whats the problem? | 02:37 |
| CITguy08 | yeah, put it in the pastebin | 02:37 |

| ldiamond | n8tuser unless I'm mistaken.... | 02:37 |
| TheSHAD0W | It was mounted, yes. | 02:37 |

| EeveeTrainer | *ubuntu linu | 02:38 |
| eatablecrayon | im using the ath9k driver of my atheros card | 02:38 |

| MarkJones | Anyone else having issues with 8.10 not downloading packages on software add/remove? | 02:38 |
| n8tuser | MarkJones-> plenty of people because its so busy.. | 02:38 |
| ldiamond | n8tuser then, do you know how I can boot from a usb hard drive partition? Here's what I tried already: | 02:38 |
| MarkJones | oh ok i see | 02:39 |
| eatablecrayon | and it isnot allowing me to enable roaming mode. any ideas? | 02:39 |
| Sylphid | drumstyk1, i can also stretch the Xserver accross the 2 monitors | 02:39 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> setup it from the bios, high priority is your usd drive | 02:39 |
| Tetracomm | n8tuser: I know, but, I tried to add some repositories and it looks like I may have messed up my sources.list file, do you see anything wrong with it?: http://pastebin.com/d5d790e94 | 02:39 |
| MarkJones | So far intrepid seems pretty good. | 02:39 |
| EeveeTrainer | Hi! When I use UNetBootin to install Ubuntu to a USB flash drive, which option should I select? "8.10_NetInstall" or "8.10_NetInstall_x64" or "8.10_Live" or "8.10_Live_x64" or "Daily_Live" | 02:39 |
| drumstyk1 | Sylphid: forgive me if i am misunderstanding you but twin view gives you dual monitors where you can drag a window from one to the other but each window has its own "snapping characteristics" (such as maximizing with stretch across only 1 monitor)... xserver (i think) treats both monitors as 1 | 02:39 |
| ldiamond | n8tuser: I have grub on my USB HDD, I added a partition where I extracted the Live CD Iso. I added the Grub menu entry, went into grub, booted from it. However, I get dropped in BusyBox and nothing else loads. | 02:40 |

| YbeddyJ | i have a latitude 600 and i installed ubuntu daily on it two days ago..it was kinda ok ..a few ripples in the video...slow compiz..slow downs every now and then... but i got a big problem every now and then my network card would just get disabled...as in it gets totally turned off.. the connection light on the switch goes out as if the cable was unplugged funny enough the system would still say connected...usually i restart and the card would start work | 02:40 |
| YbeddyJ | ing again but now it no longer works. i have restarted many times but it just dont work | 02:40 |
| n8tuser | Tetracomm-> quick glance, i dont see anything glaring | 02:40 |
| jimminy_cricket | chadeldridge: i got further than i did before but it still isnt working right | 02:40 |
| matt__ | Any ideas why in intrepid, networkmanager disables network every time I suspend. I have to manually re-enable it when resuming. | 02:40 |
| Tetracomm | Ok, thank you. | 02:40 |
| jimminy_cricket | chadeldridge: its giving me a login screen but once i login its doing the same thing that it was before | 02:40 |
| drumstyk1 | Sylphid: so your main monitor would have all your menus and toolsbars and such while you secondary is treated as extra real estate | 02:41 |
| GodfatherofEire | Intrepid should be available via update manager, yes? | 02:41 |
| eatablecrayon | i guys, the atheros card i use is not connecting to networks. and i cant seem to be able to enable roaming mode. any ideas? | 02:41 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> i dont i quite follow you, you wanted the source iso to be also from same usb hard disk? i dont think thats easy to do, lest you modify the livecd iso you copied into the usb drive | 02:41 |
| Sylphid | drumstyk1, that is one setup that i can get to work but not what i am looking for | 02:41 |
| GodfatherofEire | Should intrepid be available via update manager by now? | 02:41 |

| ndotreez | how to i move GDM from S21 to S30? | 02:42 |

| firelan | Hi all | 02:43 |
| roxan | !hi | 02:43 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:43 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | damn... | 02:43 |
| Technoviking | helli | 02:43 |
| firelan | I need some hlep installing ms-sys | 02:43 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | still nothing in the hardware drivers | 02:43 |
| phanatik | danbh_intrepid1: D-Link DWA-510 PCI Wireless | 02:43 |
| ldiamond | Roxan, that would require erasing the HDD tho. | 02:43 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | this is extremely frustrating | 02:43 |
| roxan | ldiamond, yes the USB one | 02:44 |
| nshater | I'm having an issue with sound after upgrading to 8.10 all I can hear is crackling, does anyone know how to fix this issue? | 02:44 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> your statement to me didnt make sense., can you clarify? | 02:44 |
| ldiamond | n8tuser I want to boot the Live CD ISO from a usb hard drive. (I dont want to have to burn a CD) | 02:44 |
| drumstyk1 | Sylphid: do you have an nvidia card? | 02:44 |
| BoltClock | jrib: update manager spit a bunch of errors relating to finding english translations for my country and died. im in singapore | 02:44 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> you were not paying attention to what i said earlier, you have to modify the livecd iso to make it bootable from any other media other than cdrom | 02:44 |
| ldiamond | roxan, the USB HDD already has a NTFS partition and a Grub bootloader (and a ubuntu 8.04 install thats kinda messed up) | 02:45 |
| jimminy_cricket | is anyone else having problems with gdm after the upgrade?? | 02:45 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | yes | 02:45 |
| ldiamond | n8tuser how so? | 02:45 |
| phanatik | danbh_intrepid1, did you get that? | 02:45 |
| roxan | then copy the iso of cd into usb boot it and mount the iso and install | 02:45 |
| === yardbird is now known as reiki | ||
| Thrice | like what? | 02:45 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> i dont know on top of my head, please google that | 02:45 |

| firelan | I get this error while trying to install ms-sys: E: Couldn't find package ms-sys ... any suggestions? | 02:45 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | so if no drivers come up in my hardware drivers anymore, what should I do? I know I require a restricted driver. | 02:46 |
| FAJALOU | hi how can i use ubuntu's livecd to UPGRADE my system? | 02:46 |
| danbh_intrepid1 | phanatik: yeah, I dunno. I'm sure you can always use ndiswrapper, which will work, but may not work well | 02:46 |
| _2 | where's the docs for setting up dhcpd ? | 02:46 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> you have to fool around with squashfs and some other parameters | 02:46 |
| roxan | firelan, this means there is no such pakage | 02:46 |
| Thrice | what card do you have? | 02:46 |
| danbh_intrepid1 | FAJALOU: you can't. You need to get the alternate cd | 02:46 |
| roxan | FAJALOU, you need alternate cd | 02:46 |
| Thrice | wifi card? | 02:46 |
| YbeddyJ | ubuntu killed my NIC how can i get it working again? | 02:46 |
| CITguy08 | outofthemadness: did you have kubuntu installed prior to upgrading? | 02:46 |
| frank23 | FAJALOU: you can't do an upgrade with a livecd | 02:46 |
| Codemaster|Mobil | geforce 8600 gt m | 02:46 |
| nshater | Any one else running ubuntu studio 8.10's theme running choppy | 02:46 |
| FAJALOU | :O :( | 02:46 |
| FAJALOU | ok... | 02:46 |
| _2 | YbeddyJ killed ? | 02:46 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> however, if you only listen to my first recommendation of using debootstrap , then debootstrap can use file:// to point where you livecd iso is stored on the usb drive | 02:47 |
| nootrope | jrib, after adding my new path to the environment variable, do i have to do anything else (maybe reboot?)? | 02:47 |
| techsupport | question. how to restart x ? | 02:47 |
| mikeh789 | anybody try 8.10 on the mini-note?? I'm downloading right now. | 02:47 |
| BoltClock | techsupport: ctrl+alt+backspace | 02:47 |
| firelan | thanks roxan: if I try to download the tar and compile I get errors too | 02:47 |
| YbeddyJ | _2 yes it no longer even shows up in lspci | 02:47 |

| storrgie | anyone know how to force evolution to use a socks proxy? | 02:48 |
| Thrice | crtl alt back | 02:48 |
| Thrice | to restart x | 02:48 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> oh wait you dont have linux installed..i forget | 02:48 |
| drumstyk1 | Sylphid: what i ended up doing with my nvidia card was to ditch the ubuntu drivers and grab "NVIDIA X Server Settings"... you probably are way ahead of me but this gives me the option to configure in "Seperate X Screen" mode, giving each monitor its own toolbars as if it were 2 pc's | 02:48 |
| turtle_ | Interpid 64 working good? | 02:48 |
| zetacu | hi everyone i have an atheros ar5007eg wireless card and i want to use the monitor mode, i already install the madwifi drivers and works fine, but i cant change it to monitor mode does anyone knows how | 02:48 |
| FAJALOU | danbh_intrepid1: do you think it's ok to update via alternate cd? seems how it's really slow upgrading the other way? | 02:48 |
| Sylphid | drumstyk1, yup already running that | 02:48 |
| jimminy_cricket | how do i check if x is pointing to gdm? | 02:49 |
| ldiamond | n8tuser, well, I do have a linux installed somewhere. | 02:49 |
| ndotreez | how do i change a runlevel from S13 to S30? | 02:49 |
| CITguy08 | outofthemadness: sudo dpkg-reconfigur -aphigh xserver-xorg | 02:49 |
| firelan | roxan: should I try an earlier version of ms-sys ? (http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/) | 02:49 |
| CITguy08 | * sudo dpkg-reconfigure -aphigh xserver-xorg | 02:49 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> then that system can install from the iso copied to its hard disk | 02:49 |
| tibxc3 | lol... right now Bill Gates is attending a glass art auction in seattle | 02:49 |
| justcollapse | anyone know why i can't mount a usb sdcard reader ???? | 02:49 |
| tibxc3 | watch him live right now >> http://www.auctionnetwork.com | 02:49 |
| danbh_intrepid1 | FAJALOU: well, if you want to upgrade, I actually think using the alternate cd is ideal. The servers are getting hammered, and you can just use a torrent to get the cd | 02:49 |
| roxan | firelan, no you must install the required library. btw what error do you get? | 02:49 |
| Flannel | tibxc3: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. | 02:49 |
| tritium | tibxc3: please stay on topic. | 02:49 |
| frank23 | FAJALOU: using an alternate CD to upgrade will probably work only if you haven't installed any new programs. I never really tried it though | 02:49 |
| drumstyk1 | Sylphid: bummer, i was hoping that was the magic answer. that is where my experience ends, sry about that | 02:50 |
| jrib | nootrope: yeah, log out and back in | 02:50 |
| nootrope | thanks, jrib | 02:50 |
| Sylphid | drumstyk1, np.. thanks for the time | 02:50 |
| phanatik | I can't watch him | 02:50 |

| jrib | BoltClock: pastebin errors, I'm not familuar with taht | 02:50 |
| phanatik | Internet Explorer has crashed :P | 02:50 |
| jimminy_cricket | how do i check if x is pointing to gdm? | 02:50 |
| gnutronic | justcollapse: install package usbmount. that worked for me. in hardy | 02:50 |
| * BoltClock runs update manager again | 02:50 | |
| turtle_ | to upgrade you mean | 02:50 |
| ndotreez | how do i use update-rc.d to change gdm from S13 to S30? | 02:50 |
| justcollapse | gnutronic: will try thx | 02:50 |
| Joelito | I like Intrepid..good and updated software :) | 02:51 |
| CITguy08 | outofthemadness: It seems that the configuration cannot find your keyboard mapping. Just execute that command. It will reconfigure your xserver settings, but may take a while. | 02:51 |
| Sylphid | jimminy_cricket, cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 02:51 |
| _2 | jimminy_cricket "check if x is pointing to gdm?" ??? x is not "pointing to gdm" | 02:51 |
| phixxor | hey, I'm trying to do cdromupgrade but it always tries to download all the packages from the server instead. How can I find out what is going wrong? | 02:51 |
| jrib | ndotreez: why not use mv? | 02:51 |
| cowbud | grr there was a program that let you compile back ports from other distros i.e. for dapper compile hardy ones anyone recall what that was called? | 02:51 |
| YbeddyJ | _2, do you have any idea how i could get my nic working again? | 02:52 |
| Flannel | !prevu | cowbud | 02:52 |
| ubottu | cowbud: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details | 02:52 |
| cowbud | what what | 02:52 |
| ndotreez | jrib: i can move it, but i am afraid it will screw something up if i need to change it later. is it okay to do it that way? | 02:52 |
| cowbud | and flannel comes in, thanks! | 02:52 |
| danbh_intrepid1 | phixxor: doesnt it ask if you want to use the servers? | 02:52 |
| _2 | YbeddyJ modprobe | 02:52 |
| bahadunn | in intrepid when I click on places > home folder totem opens instead | 02:52 |
| CITguy08 | phixxor: set your software sources to point to the cd rom | 02:52 |
| ldiamond | n8tuser, however, as I said earlier, I managed to boot alfway to the live CD already. It failed somewhere and dropped me in BusyBox. Is there a way I could fix that? | 02:52 |
| KumoGone | My keyboard and mose don't work. | 02:52 |

| xorlim | supersoft: hi | 02:53 |
| outofthemadness | CITguy08: thanks a lot . I will see if this fixes things | 02:53 |
| KumoGone | It seems to be a xorg problem | 02:53 |
| danbh_intrepid1 | phixxor: weird. Maybe you can try just disabling those servers in your sources | 02:53 |
| jrib | ndotreez: don't see why not | 02:53 |
| ndotreez | jrib: thank you very much | 02:53 |
| _2 | YbeddyJ inserting the correct kernel module (aka driver) should "get it working again" modprobe is the command to insert or remove modules | 02:53 |

| BoltClock | jrib: not working | 03:00 |
| Flannel | Spoom: That's not the important part for a successful upgrade. Proper metapackage (ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard, and your kernel metapackage) installation makes it a lot happier | 03:00 |
| * BoltClock tries again | 03:00 | |
| _2 | morrty might try sudo apt-get install vim-full | 03:00 |
| morrty | jrib: says not found or something, but I just tried apt-get cache search ^vi then i did apt-get isntall vim-full | 03:00 |
| morrty | yep thanks _2 | 03:00 |

| FAJALOU | danbh_intrepid1: what do you think? | 03:04 |
| Flannel | !checkinstall | Sjaki` | 03:04 |
| ubottu | Sjaki`: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 03:04 |
| geremy | having a bit of trouble, intrepid seems to stall during login, it is not consuming much in the way of system resources and is not spewing to dmesg. mouse still moves, just no desktop | 03:04 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: In the future, use checkinstall, or find a deb | 03:04 |
| Sjaki` | So now that I have uninstalled | 03:04 |
| Sjaki` | Should I checkinstall? | 03:04 |
| danbh_intrepid1 | FAJALOU: I would try google. Maybe try visiting one of the ips from the dig command, instead of using www.google.com. Maybe try wget instead of FF | 03:05 |

| Aeonis | I can't remmeber what it was, but I have it extracted and then I have this folder. | 03:07 |
| vocx | Aeonis, there is a dedicated subforum about virtualization in ubuntuforums.org, also you may try using virtualbox since it's easier to install and use. | 03:07 |

| vocx | Aeonis, oh, well, in that case, it shouldn't be that hard. I guess you need to extract the tar and run "make" to compile the thing, but need to get the dependencies first. You should read the forum I mentioned, there is probably a guide already | 03:09 |

| madrazr | Hi all, is anyone having problem connecting to GMail Chat in Pidgin on Intrepid? Do any of you know the solution? | 03:31 |
| gwinbee | CITguy08: as far as i can tell, it isn't connected. | 03:31 |
| madrazr | Help please | 03:31 |
| vocx | mercutio22, thats a know problem, the release notes on ibex mention that. Yours is a Toshiba laptop? | 03:31 |
| Landypro | when i try to save my nvidia-settings without sudo, i get a segmentation fault after i click save | 03:31 |
| Flannel | macd_: dist-upgrade has to do with satisfying new depends, not anything about broken packages | 03:32 |
| eli_ | It seems to have mixed my sources list with hardy and intrepid, now I have updates that only go partial | 03:32 |
| trimeta | madrazr: Could you be more specific? I just installed Intrepid and am having no problem connecting to Gmail Chat. | 03:32 |
| gwinbee | CITguy08: is there some clear indicator if whether a device is connected? i can see these phones in "browse devices" | 03:32 |
| macd_ | Landypro, for obvious reasons, as it needs the elevated permissions to save to a root writable file ;) | 03:32 |
| Flannel | macd_: It might be you want to -f upgrade than dist-upgrade though. | 03:32 |
| nhasian | crashsystems: i downloaded the alternate iso and upgraded with that. but when i try to enable the restricted drivers for my nvidia card, it just stalls at 0% | 03:32 |
| jimminy_cricket | Landypro: thats because you need admin priveliges to save the settings | 03:32 |
| Flannel | eli_: We can fix that. | 03:32 |
| n8tuser | Aeonis-> 1st edition is good enuff, perhaps 2nd edition covers the latest 8.10 thats why it is not out yet. 8.10 just came out today | 03:32 |
| macd_ | Flannel, exactly what I would do ;), fix it, then let it dist-upgrade | 03:32 |
| Landypro | and when i give it sudo, it doesnt change the file whatsoever | 03:32 |

| jtbandes | I'm running Intrepid in a virtual machine (via VirtualBox) on a Mac OS X host with a 1.83GHz Core Duo & ATI Radeon X1600. Ubuntu won't let me enable the desktop Visual Effects..

| eli_ | the dist-upgrade failed again | 03:33 |
| Flannel | eli_: Alright. Calm down, and lets just fix it. | 03:33 |
| KumoGone | Okay, added the lines, rebooting | 03:33 |
| Rioting_pacifist | how do i use the pgp signed md5hash it differs from the non-pgp signed hash, is this right? do i need to unsign the key or something? | 03:33 |
| Flannel | eli_: do what macd_ suggested: sudo apt-get -f upgrade | 03:33 |
| crashsystems | @nhasian try going into Software Sources, and in mirror selection tell it to test for the best server near you. | 03:33 |
| macd_ | Landypro, the new resolution tool or w/e in intrepid will not detect and save your monitor? (I read your post on the forums but I dont have any idea why it can't set proper res using HDMI, its supposed to be plug and work. | 03:33 |
| geremy | Flannel: so this is not a known issue so far as you are aware? | 03:33 |
| wbmj | Landypro > it helps to remove the xorg.conf.backup first then sudo nvidia-settings and make your changes | 03:33 |
| gwinbee | CITguy08: would be listed under "bonded devices" correct? | 03:33 |
| n8tuser | eli_-> do a fresh install, less headaches | 03:33 |
| Guest80955 | Is everybody's network manager where it normally is after the upgrade? I can't find mine. | 03:33 |
| CITguy08 | gwinbee: most likely | 03:34 |
| eli_ | trying sudo apt-get -f upgrad | 03:34 |
| vocx | Aeonis, it's probably not the best idea to buy several books on Linux. If you are buying one you should pick one that teaches you the basic stuff, the rest you will learn by using it, and by reading the forums and this irc channel. | 03:34 |
| Aeonis | NOOOOO n8tuser!! Currently unavailable :( | 03:34 |
| madrazr | trimeta: Ok figured out the issue. Intrepid does not take connect server as talk.google.com by default. One has to set it manually. This is nasty | 03:34 |
| madrazr | trimeta: makes the life of beginners difficult | 03:34 |
| Aeonis | I concur vocx, but I am working on learning in ways that I can do and I'm a hands on guy. | 03:34 |
| crashsystems | @Guest80955 I had to connect to ethernet on one box and do an update off of a mirror (I had previously done it from the alt cd) | 03:34 |
| Flannel | geremy: I haven't had much experience, so no. But that doesn't mean its not known to someone. Unfortunately, I'm not an X guy to begin with, so even if this were just a regular breakage, I wouldn't know the way to fix it. | 03:34 |
| Aeonis | I'm just trying to get my feet wet. | 03:34 |
| n8tuser | Aeonis-> amazon is not the only seller, see bookpool and others | 03:34 |
| eli_ | this is wierd im in semi-intrepid state | 03:34 |
| CITguy08 | KumoGone: any luck with the edit? | 03:34 |
| trimeta | madrazr: Could be; I migrated an existing ~/.purple folder over, so it might have kept my old settings. | 03:35 |
| mercutio22 | vocx> its a dell laptop | 03:35 |
| Flannel | eli_: Did that fix your packages? | 03:35 |
| KumoGone | Looks like it. | 03:35 |
| nhasian | crashsystems: thanks i'll try that now. Quick question, is xchat the best irc client for ubuntu? I am used to mIRC from windows | 03:35 |
| KumoGone | Thanks. | 03:35 |
| eli_ | well its still doing it | 03:35 |
| madrazr | trimeta: Oh, but I had to go for a fresh install | 03:35 |
| jimminy_cricket | Flannel: can you downgrade x without doing an os reinstall, and if so, how? | 03:35 |
| CITguy08 | You're welcome. Glad I could help | 03:35 |
| madrazr | trimeta: and most newbies will do a first install | 03:35 |

| madrazr | thanks a lot | 03:36 |
| vocx | mercutio22, well, I think the release notes mentioned a Toshiba, but it may affect other laptops as well. Also, if you uses "xmodmap", you need to check again your keycodes. | 03:36 |
| trimeta | But anyway, no one's tried the USB disk install? | 03:36 |
| gwinbee | CITguy08: oh one more thing, the radio buttons on that menu, which do you recommend? | 03:36 |
| gwinbee | CITguy08: under "mode of operation" | 03:36 |

| === nicholas is now known as Guest55658 | ||
| n8tuser | eli_-> windows does not understand ext3 filesystem, thats why | 03:37 |
| crashsystems | @KumoGone do "sudo apt-get install linux-firmware" to make sure the package is installed. | 03:37 |
| eli_ | well | 03:37 |
| trimeta | voglster: You could modify the host file on the computer you're ssh'ing from so that it'll automatically translate it. | 03:37 |
| gwinbee | CITguy08: ah, those are my preexisting settings. | 03:37 |
| Flannel | genii: downgrading from intrepid to hardy is a bit different | 03:37 |

| voglster | trimeta, thats what i tried first.. before i came here | 03:40 |
| trimeta | eli_: It's using the new 2.6.27 kernel, which allegedly has better support for webcams. | 03:40 |

| FAJALOU | hi, I was trying to use wicd with a wired connection a little while ago, and, though it said it was connected, i was not able to get on the internet... any suggestions? | 03:53 |
| VicTheHunter | Should I just mark everything for installation that has compiz in the name? | 03:53 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, I don't think the settings manager is installed by default, so yeah, you need to install it | 03:53 |
| bullgard4 | jtbandes: hihi | 03:53 |
| VicTheHunter | Ok. Installing now... | 03:54 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, depends what they are for ;) | 03:54 |
| Setzir | I guess the best question is: How to isntall Ubuntu on a laptop running Vista. | 03:54 |
| zakirs | i set the mount point of a partition to /media/disk in the preferences option using nautilus .. and nouw its not booting | 03:54 |
| zakirs | help any ne | 03:54 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, it should give you a description of what each compiz package does, or you can post them here if you are not sure | 03:54 |
| kthakore2 | when I share a folder using samba in intrepid and I try to access it from winxp home over the network it prompts me for a username and password. What password is this nothing I tried worked? | 03:54 |
| mattgyver83 | xrandallx, http://aquariusoft.org/page/palm/ the page overviews installing bluez and how to sync a palm device, however the instructions should be similar for most phones. | 03:54 |
| vocx | nosklo, I think I read that it wasn't included in this release, so if you really want it you need to compile it yourself or get a deb package elsewhere. | 03:54 |
| xrandallx | mattgyver83 ok ty i will try that | 03:55 |
| Flannel | nosklo: Some people have put it in a PPA, take a look for that. | 03:55 |
| CardiacKid | any thoughts? Why would I see the network share but not the shared folders on the machine? | 03:55 |
| nosklo | Flannel, vocx, okay, googling away, thanks. | 03:55 |
| brodymcd | could someone PLEASE help me with my sound issue - sound a crackly mess since my 8.10 upgrade | 03:55 |
| jtbandes | Meshezabeel/bullgard4, do you know if it's possible to get the Visual Effects working in a virtual machine (VirtualBox on an OS X host)? | 03:55 |
| Nitro` | 10.30(08:48:19pm) <Nitro> hey | 03:55 |
| Nitro` | 10.30(08:48:30pm) <Nitro> Has anyone here setup a transparent proxy with squid? | 03:55 |
| Nitro` | 10.30(08:48:52pm) <Nitro> Or a transparent proxy with anything? | 03:55 |
| Nitro` | 10.30(08:50:48pm) <Nitro> What I'm trying to accomplish is have a server on a vm on a seperate vlan and then configure it so any data requests get dropped and any http request gets them one static page with some information on it | 03:55 |
| Nitro` | 10.30(08:52:10pm) <Nitro> I'm thinking squid is the right thing to use here, but I could be mistaken. Does anyone else have any ideas on the best way to accomplish this? | 03:56 |
| FloodBot3 | Nitro`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:56 |
| Dan | I just installed ibex on my acer aspire one, and now I can't get WPA2 personal to work | 03:56 |
| Dan | anyone know anything about how to fix that? | 03:56 |
| bullgard4 | jtbandes: No. I have made no experience with virtualization in Linux. | 03:56 |
| Meshezabeel | jtbandes, I do not know the answer to your question, it is good not to ask people by name though | 03:56 |
| dotblank | How do I make ubuntu forget the current update status | 03:56 |
| VicTheHunter | I haven't used chat in a few years. It is actually very nice to come back to this chat room and not see any bad words. | 03:56 |
| Meshezabeel | dotblank, what do you mean by update status? | 03:57 |
| jtbandes | Meshezabeel: yes I know, and I did earlier, but you two were answering other questions about the effects, so I figured it was worth a shot. thanks. | 03:57 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| vocx | jtbandes, if the desktop effects actually use 3D acceleration I don't think it's possible since virtualization does use the 3D hardware directly. | 03:57 |
| Meshezabeel | jtbandes, no prob ;) | 03:57 |
| bullgard4 | dotblank: This attempt is not advisable. | 03:57 |
| dotblank | like I have a messed up update manager that I telling me about partial upgrade | 03:57 |
| VicTheHunter | synaptic is still installing compiz software for me... | 03:57 |
| droopsta915 | I have ubuntu 8.04, I'm wondering if I should upgrade to the new release? Anyone upgrade already? | 03:58 |
| Meshezabeel | dotblank, you need to fix the problem, not try to pretend it doesn't exist | 03:58 |
| vocx | Dan, according to the release notes some wireless drivers are messed up, some intel ones http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 03:58 |
| bullgard4 | dotblank: Try apt-get update | 03:58 |
| DIFH-iceroot | droopsta915: never touch a running system | 03:58 |
| FAJALOU | hi i was going to upgrade to 8.10 but have decided to wait, but i started it half way, so i think there are some .deb packages taking up alot of space on my computer, how can i remove these .deb | 03:58 |
| dotblank | done that | 03:58 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, did you install all packages with compiz in the name/ | 03:58 |
| stu | ggthyujkoltgt | 03:58 |
| Codemaster | hm okay | 03:58 |
| VicTheHunter | I also have Ubuntu 8.04, and am wondering the same as droopsta. | 03:58 |
| dotblank | I had a broken hardy update | 03:59 |
| dotblank | to intrepid | 03:59 |
| stu | gthgthythgrwtgerg | 03:59 |
| mattgyver83 | VicTheHunter,droopsta, what do you have to loose? | 03:59 |
| Codemaster | so i attempt to install the nvidia driver (tried with 177 and 173) and during boot it mentions it is attempting to install the driver and says [fail] | 03:59 |
| stu | rytyrtwetrrt | 03:59 |
| DIFH-iceroot | FAJALOU: apt-get clean and apt-get autoremove | 03:59 |
| Codemaster | anyone have any idea as to why it is doing that? | 03:59 |
| stu | suggdkhs7tyklgndcm, | 03:59 |
| dotblank | its now intrepid but it still has the updates from hardy | 03:59 |
| droopsta915 | DIFH: ? What do you mean by that? | 03:59 |
| VicTheHunter | I got this error from synaptic: | 03:59 |
| Meshezabeel | before you do an upgrade, make sure you back up your important files | 03:59 |
| VicTheHunter | E: /var/cache/apt/archives/compiz-fusion-bcop_0.6.0-1_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/bcop', which is also in package compiz-bcop | 03:59 |
| VicTheHunter | \ | 03:59 |
| Flannel | dotblank: sudo apt-get update, should fix it | 03:59 |
| FAJALOU | DIFH-iceroot: i dd both of those, but it didn't say that anything was removed... | 04:00 |
| Codemaster | anyone have any idea about the driver issue i am having? | 04:00 |
| Flannel | VicTheHunter: Do you have non-official repositories? | 04:00 |
| droopsta915 | If I upgrade, will all my settings store to default? | 04:00 |
| Flannel | droopsta915: No | 04:00 |
| DIFH-iceroot | FAJALOU: apt-get clean has no output but deletes all deb files which are downloaded (cache) | 04:00 |
| VicTheHunter | How may I check for non-official repositories? | 04:00 |
| Flannel | VicTheHunter: Fire up software sources and take a look. | 04:01 |
| FAJALOU | DIFH-iceroot: is there a way to make sure? sorry for being anal about it | 04:01 |
| crdlb | VicTheHunter: uninstall compiz-fusion-bcop, that package was imported from debian erroneously | 04:01 |
| DIFH-iceroot | FAJALOU: df -h | 04:01 |
| VicTheHunter | Thanks, brb... | 04:01 |
| mattgyver83 | droopsta915, yes. | 04:01 |
| frank23 | VicTheHunter: compiz-bcop is not a ubuntu package as far as I can tell | 04:01 |
| vocx | FAJALOU, Unix philosophy is "don't output anything if it worked okay" Check around /var/apt/cache I think that's where the packages get downloaded. | 04:01 |
| Codemaster | anyone have any idea why the nvidia drivers (177 and 173) are both failing for me after I upgrade to intrepid? | 04:01 |
| dotblank | whoa my name changed from eli to dotblank | 04:01 |
| brodymcd | could someone PLEASE help me with my sound issue - sound a crackly mess since my 8.10 upgrade | 04:01 |
| mattgyver83 | droopsta915, its possible to have hardware issues with drivers and such however (most of the time) the upgrades offer better driver support | 04:01 |
| droopsta915 | mattgyver83: Do I need to get all my codecs and players again? | 04:02 |
| crdlb | frank23: it was renamed in intrepid to match debian | 04:02 |
| mattgyver83 | droopsta, you shouldnt | 04:02 |
| vocx | Codemaster, it's documented in the release notes that some of those drivers try to transition to newer ones or rever to the free "nv" http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 04:02 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, notice there's both compiz-bcop, and compiz-fusion-bcop, if you don't know what bcop is, then you don't need to bother installing it to begin with | 04:02 |
| droopsta915 | Thanx, I will try the upgrade:) | 04:02 |
| Codemaster | vocx: I'll take a look at that; if i switch to nv is there any way to utilize the nvidia driver again? | 04:02 |
| mattgyver83 | droopsta, normally its some changes to the OS itself, kernel updates, and stuff like that. Most software is fine. | 04:02 |
| dotblank | hmm | 04:02 |
| dotblank | that didnt fix it | 04:02 |
| kthakore2 | when I share a folder using samba in intrepid and I try to access it from winxp home over the network it prompts me for a username and password. What password is this nothing I tried worked? | 04:02 |
| VicTheHunter | Shall I uninstall both which have -bcop? | 04:03 |
| mattgyver83 | kthakore2, have you tried your windows login info, or ubuntu login info? | 04:03 |
| vocx | Codemaster, maybe, but it also says that the old drivers aren't compatible with the new Xorg, so that may mean no. | 04:03 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, at least uninstall the one that doesn't have the little ubuntu symbol beside it | 04:03 |
| shad0w0fsin | hey I upgraded to intrepid but am having some internet problems, networking works but internet doesn't | 04:03 |
| VicTheHunter | Ok, brb... | 04:04 |
| Codemaster | vocx: well, during the intrepid beta, the 177 drivers worked fine for me.... | 04:04 |
| calvino | does someone know a good website with neat skins for the Gnome2 desktop? :q | 04:04 |
| shad0w0fsin | gnome-look.org | 04:04 |
| FAJALOU | DIFH-iceroot: i did a locate *,deb and it only found the packages that i want to keep, so it must have made them disappear | 04:04 |
| calvino | ty | 04:04 |
| vocx | Codemaster, I personally haven't used nvidia cards, I'm just passing the information about the documented issues. | 04:04 |
| Dan | here I thought it would be easier to use the wireless in my laptop in 8.10, turns out the new methods don't work and the old ones don't work anymore either | 04:04 |
| Dan | how lame | 04:04 |

| csilk | openoffice3 installation was a breeze a long shot away from the days I used to do it on slackware9 | 04:06 |
| Elijah | Why when I go to download 8.10 from ubuntu.com dows it not give me an amd, intel option but when I go to the torrent page it does? | 04:06 |
| VicTheHunter | Ok. It looks like I now have compiz for KDE. How do I use it? | 04:06 |
| FAJALOU | !compiz | 04:06 |

| FAJALOU | might help? | 04:06 |
| csilk | Elijah, amd or intel, makes no difference, it's your architecture you wanna worry abour 32bit or 64 | 04:06 |
| vocx | FAJALOU, Meshezabeel "locate" does not exactly searches everything, if you want to really check everything you need to use the "find" command. Just for your information. | 04:07 |
| csilk | *about | 04:07 |
| Elijah | csilk: Why is there an amd or intel torrent then? | 04:07 |
| VicTheHunter | Thanks ubottu | 04:07 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, check under System->Preferences->Appearance | 04:07 |
| csilk | Elijah, link please | 04:07 |
| FAJALOU | vocx: i am actually using the handy search for files on the ghome-applet | 04:07 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, at least it is there under gnome | 04:07 |
| Flannel | Elijah: It does, 32bit or 64bit, under "Begin Download", Custom option | 04:07 |
| Elijah | I think 1400 is the most I have seen in here!!!! | 04:07 |
| VicTheHunter | and Meshezabeel, and everyone here to help. You are fantastic. | 04:07 |
| csilk | Elijah, generally it doesn't matter as long as you get the archtecture right | 04:08 |
| csilk | *architecture | 04:08 |
| vocx | !thanks | VicTheHunter | 04:08 |
| ubottu | VicTheHunter: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 04:08 |
| Elijah | csilk: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt | 04:08 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, If you find the Appearance app, then there is a tab that says Visual Effects, then click on Extra | 04:09 |
| Flannel | Elijah: As you were already told, those are the "32bit" "64bit" choice | 04:09 |
| Elijah | Flannel: Ok, thanks I didn't notice the amd64 just the amd, | 04:09 |
| csilk | Elijah, amd64 = 64bit and 1686 = 32 bit | 04:09 |
| csilk | **1386 | 04:09 |
| Elijah | I get it now, they are just worded differently on the diff pages | 04:09 |
| csilk | it says amd because amd were the first to release retail 64 bit chips | 04:10 |
| Flannel | Elijah: the 64bit arch is generically referred to as "AMD64", 32bit is "i386" | 04:10 |
| vocx | csilk, you got it wrong, it's i386 | 04:10 |
| csilk | vocx, yeah typo, I'm sure he understood | 04:10 |
| vocx | csilk, but you made like a double typo?? how come | 04:10 |
| csilk | vocx, because I fail at typing, I wasn't going to correct myself a 3rd time, that's just spam | 04:11 |
| Elijah | Flannel: Thanks. I really hope that 8.10 works with my Sprint EVDO U727 modem!!!! Crossing some serious fingers right now! | 04:11 |

| Dan | why the hell does the wireless act so bizarrely in 8.10, why does it just grab any open WAP point even when you didn't specify that it should, and why can't you specify what encryption type you are using specifically in this new network manager thing? | 04:17 |
| joanki123 | a way t lower the resolution? | 04:17 |

| zidane_tr | my mums laptop can play guild wars fine with an nvidia card yet my computer with an ati card crashes :( | 04:22 |
| VicTheHunter | I don't have a System>Preferences | 04:22 |
| afallenhope | silv3r_m00n, then you should do sudo update-rc.d SCRIPTNAME defaults | 04:22 |
| tron | ./join ubuntu-es | 04:22 |
| secret901 | sebsebseb: I was hoping to use 8.04, but they used the new-fangled sound server | 04:22 |
| zidane_tr | is it worth running 64-bit? | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | secret901: this new version is meant to be for more technical users | 04:22 |
| shad0w0fsin | techno_freak : nslookup fails: ';; connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 04:22 |

| Socialoutcast | FAJ: what does your /ect/network/interfacces say for eth0? | 04:23 |
| shad0w0fsin | any idea on how to fix it? | 04:23 |
| VicTheHunter | I do have a couple of System menus... | 04:23 |
| secret901 | sebsebseb: 8.04 messed up the sound on my laptop, I had to custom rebuild the kernel. I was hoping 8.10 would fix that | 04:23 |
| Socialoutcast | interfaces* | 04:23 |
| secret901 | sebsebseb: but no, now it messes up the graphics too | 04:23 |
| sebsebseb | secret901: you can use other sound servers than pulse. also. pulse issues well in hardy. killall pulse audio and that solves most stuff | 04:23 |
| nickybatts | What is the best player for DVD's in Ubuntu? | 04:23 |

| shad0w0fsin | # Generated by NetworkManager | 04:24 |
| shad0w0fsin | nameserver 10.1.1.1 | 04:24 |
| secret901 | sebsebseb: my experience with pulse was horrible, and I'm using a Dell Ubuntu laptop that's supposedly supported by Ubuntu | 04:24 |
| techno_freak | shad0w0fsin, do `ping 10.1.1.1` | 04:24 |
| VicTheHunter | I have one system menu under each of "All Applications" and "Actions" | 04:24 |
| dotblank | I kinda like pulse It has promise but they need to add some support for spdif | 04:24 |
| shad0w0fsin | techno_freak: ping works | 04:24 |
| nickybatts | Ah heck, I'll install Mplayer as well I suppose | 04:25 |
| VicTheHunter | I also have a "Settings" menu under "All Applications" | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | secret901: sure, but pulseaudio issues was more an Ubuntu fault | 04:25 |
| techno_freak | shad0w0fsin, do you have any other computer on the network? if so, is it able to access internet? | 04:25 |
| FAJ | Socialoutcast: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64991/ | 04:25 |
| vocx | VicTheHunter, at this time you should be taking screenshots of your desktop and posting them on imageshack or something. Maybe you can open the settings from the command line, that way is easier | 04:25 |
| dotblank | I wish linux in general would just stick to one good one | 04:25 |
| shad0w0fsin | yes, I'm using the other computer as a proxy to access the internet now | 04:25 |
| oly562 | anyone good with ati cards? and settings? i can't seem to get my fglrx settings to work with 3d or better performance. i have the ati control panel set, but the 3d stuff is subdued... | 04:25 |
| Wavesonics | I have spent all day trying to get this server just to install :( | 04:25 |
| oly562 | ati catalyst control center | 04:26 |
| VicTheHunter | Sounds good. How may I run imageshack? | 04:26 |
| oly562 | x1400 radeon | 04:26 |
| Dorobo18jp | anyone have a weather screenlet that works ? | 04:26 |
| guesst | hello | 04:26 |
| vocx | oly562, if you upgraded to Ibex there may be issues with the old nvidia and ati drivers read the release notes http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 04:27 |
| VicTheHunter | Do you think that since I just installed compiz, I should restart my computer? | 04:27 |
| shad0w0fsin | techno_freak: any ideas? | 04:27 |
| oly562 | lspci |grep -i x1400 | 04:27 |
| oly562 | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 | 04:27 |
| Codemaster | i'm having issues with non-legacy nVidia so ;_ | 04:27 |
| esac | i set a proxy when i was at work, and it is being exported when i launch a new terminal. i cant figure out how to remove it now. any ideas? | 04:27 |
| zidane_tr | just use restricted drivers cos ati havent updated the ones on their site yet | 04:27 |
| nickybatts | Anyone know where I can get that Shining screen saver from?! | 04:27 |
| oly562 | ibex? | 04:27 |
| nickybatts | Xjack or something? | 04:27 |
| dotblank | its weird like the nvidia-glx new doesnt seem to work | 04:27 |
| oly562 | havent upgraded | 04:27 |
| vocx | VicTheHunter, imageshack is a web page not an application, you can use to post pictures, just like these text "pastebins" | 04:28 |
| oly562 | working with Xorg as Xserver. i will pastebin the xorg.conf ok? | 04:28 |
| n8tuser | esac-> which proxy did you launched? | 04:28 |
| shad0w0fsin | techno_freak: also another thing, the internet started working then randomly stopped | 04:28 |
| oly562 | can you take a peak? | 04:28 |
| Frijolie | i need some help setting up IP filtering on my wifi enabled networked shared printer, any takers? It's pretty general question... | 04:28 |
| techno_freak | shad0w0fsin, not much clue | 04:28 |
| elninja | I have a synaptic touch pad that randomly will lose all of it's extra functionality(tapping to click, scrolling on right side for scroll wheel, etc.). The syslog reports that the touchpad lost sync and resynched. Anyone know what daemon or kernel module is responsible for that functionality, so I can just run a command to bring it back rather than restarting X? | 04:29 |
| VicTheHunter | If I leave this room (to restart my computer) and reenter, will I come back to where you all are? | 04:29 |
| vocx | VicTheHunter, compiz is already installed, what you did was to install the settings manager, but rebbot if you want to. | 04:29 |
| shad0w0fsin | anyone else have any ideas? my network works but internet doesnt on intrepid | 04:29 |
| oly562 | can someone take a look at my xorg.conf. my ati 3d controls don't work in control center... | 04:29 |
| oly562 | http://www.internetworkpro.org/pastebin/410/ | 04:29 |
| oly562 | thanks :) | 04:30 |
| n8tuser | shad0w0fsin-> you are using your system to chat now? | 04:30 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, you shouldn't need to restart your computer | 04:30 |
| LF|Irssi | how do i get the name or change the name of my computer? | 04:30 |
| boblemur | jaypro, how did you go? | 04:31 |
| jaypro | boblemur 8.10 still stalls | 04:31 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, but if you remember how to use pidgin to get here, then you should be able to | 04:31 |
| boblemur | where did it stop at? | 04:31 |
| oly562 | xorg.conf works fine, just that the ati 3d controls arent letting me do GL screensavers like it should | 04:31 |
| oly562 | real slow and laggy | 04:31 |
| Frijolie | i'll take that as a no | 04:31 |
| vocx | VicTheHunter, also to chat, pidgin is okay, but you should try "xchat" | 04:31 |
| jaypro | boblemur didnt see the splash screen, obviously, but it stalls just after it loads | 04:31 |
| q0r3 | just installed 8.10. managed to install the recommended nvidia driver from the repos, but it won't let me set my monitor's resolution to the max. any ideas? | 04:31 |
| Kr0ntab | LF|Irssi: modify /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts.. and reboot... | 04:31 |
| LF|Irssi | ok thanks Kr0ntab | 04:32 |
| jaypro | boblemur or after the splash screen when live cd is booted in the regular fashion | 04:32 |
| Flannel | !hostname | LF|Irssi | 04:32 |
| ubottu | LF|Irssi: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 04:32 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, I also concur with vocx, xchat is much better than pidgin, but one thing at a time ;) | 04:32 |
| boblemur | so what was the last message that came up? | 04:32 |
| q0r3 | atually, the vga monitor only displays with twinview, not xinerama, which i'd rather use. | 04:32 |
| vocx | q0r3, problems with the drivers http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 04:32 |
| boblemur | have you tried graphics safe mode? what brand of computer do you hav? | 04:33 |
| VicTheHunter | Oh! I found compiz desktop effects manager! It's in my menu at All Applications>Settings>Advance Desktop Effects Settings | 04:33 |
| oly562 | vocx not effected by legacy issue | 04:33 |
| oly562 | thanks though | 04:33 |
| bullgard4 | What is Linux's most often used audio response program / voice output program? | 04:33 |
| VicTheHunter | I'm seeing the options now, brb... | 04:34 |
| q0r3 | vocx: thanks. boblemur, was that directed to me? | 04:34 |
| Sjaki` | Quick question - how do I change my vnc4viewer resolution when I TightVNC into my Ubuntu server? | 04:34 |
| vocx | oly562, okay, just letting people know so they won't have to bang their had against a wall | 04:34 |
| td123 | bullgard4: you mean music player? | 04:34 |
| Lancelot | anyone know how I can connect to an mIRC channel? Please PM me. | 04:34 |
| wers | what's the default window opacity setting and shadow opacity setting? | 04:34 |
| boblemur | q0r3 nah that was directed at jaypro | 04:34 |
| oly562 | good move | 04:34 |
| bullgard4 | td123: No. | 04:34 |
| oly562 | vocx: do you know graphics well? | 04:34 |
| asdfma1 | is it possible to cancel a package download part way through, while still installing the packages that were already downloaded, as long as their deps were downloaded too? | 04:34 |
| gnutronic | bullgard4: try festival | 04:34 |
| oly562 | i dont know graphic cards, i just know how to get xservers running, but the fine tuning is where i lack knowledge | 04:35 |
| esac | how do i view/set exports in terminal ? | 04:35 |
| jaypro | boblemur havent tried safe mode. i just checked hardware info. thought it was 2.0 GHz but it's a 3.0 GHz. heh other pc | 04:35 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, awesome! | 04:35 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: voice output is festival | 04:35 |
| Sjaki` | Quick question - how do I change my (vnc4server) resolution when I TightVNC into my Ubuntu server? | 04:35 |
| bullgard4 | asdfma1: Not advisable. | 04:35 |
| jaypro | boblemur intel celeron | 04:35 |
| q0r3 | vocx: why would the restricted driver manager recommend that i install the proprietary driver if mine was one of the incompatible chipsets? | 04:35 |
| Kr0ntab | exac "env" | 04:35 |
| Kr0ntab | ack... | 04:35 |
| Kr0ntab | esac: "env" | 04:35 |
| asdfma1 | bullgard4, why not? | 04:35 |
| boblemur | jaypro: is it a del? because my del dosent work on the live cd | 04:35 |
| plecebo | Installing Ibex and I need to edit my menu.lst, i'm in the live cd now. What happened to the "root (hd0,0)" how do I change it now? | 04:35 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: You can stop at the 'downloading' part. | 04:35 |
| vocx | q0r3, don't know, things change? | 04:35 |
| bullgard4 | asdfma1: This attempt is a security risk. | 04:36 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: but once things are starting to install, its best to let it finish | 04:36 |
| oly562 | are there any graphic or video card rooms for linux on NickServ? | 04:36 |
| asdfma1 | Flannel: right, but will it still install the things that were already downloaded? | 04:36 |
| jaypro | boblemur really? heh strange. no it's not a dell | 04:36 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: no, it'll stop the process entirely. | 04:36 |
| boblemur | jaypro: i doubt its something to do with ur lack of power, as long as u have enough ram, so it sounds like a graphics card thing | 04:36 |
| asdfma1 | bummer | 04:36 |
| jaypro | boblemur its some pc that some small computer shop built | 04:36 |
| Sjaki` | Quick question - how do I change my (vnc4server) resolution when I TightVNC into my Ubuntu server? | 04:36 |
| donovan | #magento | 04:36 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: You could later go back and install the stuff that has been downloaded easily enough though. | 04:36 |
| asdfma1 | it has taken all day to get this far, but there are still 2 more hours to go in downloading time | 04:36 |
| VicTheHunter | Wow, there are so many options in compiz settings manager. I'll need to try them out for a day. | 04:37 |
| asdfma1 | Flannel, oh will it retain the downloaded things? | 04:37 |
| kthakore2 | mattgyver83, what do u mean | 04:37 |
| bullgard4 | asdfma1: Try to complete it unattended. | 04:37 |
| VicTheHunter | I really appreciate all your help, everyone. | 04:37 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: Its not going to delete them, yeah. deb packages get cached | 04:37 |
| asdfma1 | nice | 04:37 |
| boblemur | jaypro: kkz u could try graphics safe mode, which is just f4 on boot.. and chose graphics safe mode... have u tried an older version of the live cd?? | 04:37 |
| q0r3 | how do we access compiz fusion settings in 8.10? apt-get ccsm? | 04:37 |
| oly562 | the issue is i have my desktop set and it extends way to the right of the screen | 04:37 |
| oly562 | other issue | 04:37 |
| asdfma1 | unattended, bullgard4? | 04:37 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: if you stop it now and then continue tomorrow, you'll pick up where you left off too. | 04:37 |
| vocx | VicTheHunter, yes, got nuts with all the bling bling from compiz | 04:37 |
| boblemur | jaypro: btw are u trying it with intrepid? | 04:37 |
| jaypro | boblemur hrmmm.... strange tho, ive tried ti on two different pcs (but bought at the same shop) and they both cannot load 8.04 or 8.10 | 04:37 |
| asdfma1 | oh neato | 04:37 |
| oly562 | sighs.. | 04:37 |
| secret9011 | someone was helping me with my graphic card problem. I had to restart x. Who was it that helped me? | 04:37 |
| Flannel | !ccsm | q0r3 | 04:37 |

| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, you can set the desktop size under general options, then turn on enable both the cube, and cube rotate settings | 04:41 |
| asdfma1 | is it possible to get apt to use torrents for the sources, or is that a bad idea? | 04:41 |
| jaypro | boblemur> no 8.04 shows a funny screen when live cd boots, its all fuzzy. 8.10 doesnt get to run live cd | 04:41 |
| q0r3 | Flannel, d3cryptkeyp3r, i tried through the terminal, said it didn't exist. the only package in synaptic with compizconfig is "compizconfig-backend-gconf", which is installed | 04:41 |
| weew | thanks vocx | 04:41 |
| Madpilot | asdfma1, not set up for that | 04:41 |
| jaypro | okay | 04:41 |
| jaypro | thanks boblemur> | 04:41 |
| mattgyver83 | kthakore2, i dont remember what i said. | 04:41 |
| asdfma1 | thanks | 04:41 |
| jaypro | brb | 04:41 |
| q0r3 | i'm reloading it | 04:41 |
| Madpilot | asdfma1, apt-torrent would be kind of cool, though. | 04:41 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: It is possible, try apt-p2p | 04:41 |
| Flannel | Madpilot: ^^ | 04:41 |
| Wavesonics | god i wish some one could help me... I'm setting up a RAID 10 array with 4 disks, each disk as 2 partitions on it, 1 encrypted (for swap) and 1 set up for RAID10 by mdadm, and 1 disk as a standard ext3 /boot partition. I installed just fine to the RAID10 md0 device, but when I try and boot, the first encrypted swap partition is decrypted fine, and then the md0 encrypted RAID10 device is "not found"... How can I make it recognize my m | 04:41 |
| Wavesonics | ulti-disk device? | 04:41 |
| asdfma1 | interesting idea | 04:41 |
| Madpilot | Flannel, oh cool | 04:41 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: I have no idea what the package does, or how you'd use it, but it does exist. | 04:41 |
| b33r | any known problems with 8.10 I should know about? | 04:42 |
| Flannel | b33r: Have you read the release notes? | 04:42 |
| b33r | yeah | 04:42 |
| d3cryptkeyp3r | and there's nothing else in synaptics with compiz in it using the search function? | 04:42 |
| aflack | how long does cleaning up take | 04:42 |
| asdfma1 | if i downloaded ubuntu 2 days ago, would it make sense to download the new one and do a fresh install, or can i upgrade from the version i'm working in right now? | 04:42 |
| Flannel | q0r3: sounds like your sources.list isn't healthy | 04:42 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: just upgrade your currently installed version | 04:43 |
| Dezine | How can I uninstall flash 10? | 04:43 |
| Madpilot | asdfma1, you can do an upgrade in place | 04:43 |
| asdfma1 | what's the best way to upgrade? | 04:43 |
| b33r | asdfma1, if you haven't messed with the 8.04 and it's still clean install I say upgrade you wont get any problems | 04:43 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: update-manager | 04:43 |
| dpern | how do I do a 'screen cast? | 04:43 |
| Flannel | !screencast | dpern | 04:43 |
| d3cryptkeyp3r | there should be several compiz related packages in synaptic | 04:43 |
| asdfma1 | update-manager... is that a script? | 04:43 |
| ubottu | dpern: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 04:43 |
| Kr0ntab | Dezine: it depends on how you installed it... did you install from the package manager? | 04:43 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: no, its the regular "You have updates" program that starts and lives on your panel | 04:44 |
| Madpilot | asdfma1, no, it's the GUI that manages updates & upgrades | 04:44 |
| bravo7 | Right now i have 8.04 currently do i have uninstall stuff in order to upgrade | 04:44 |
| antdedyet | !ubuntu-keyring | 04:44 |
| q0r3 | Flannel: it's a fresh install.. | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-keyring | 04:44 |
| antdedyet | !keyring | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring | 04:44 |
| antdedyet | !gpg | 04:44 |
| Dezine | To be honest, I don't even remember install the new version. I just know 10 is the one giving issues with wordpress so I just want to remove it to install the older one. I may have done it through firefox. | 04:44 |
| ubottu | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 04:44 |
| Flannel | q0r3: have you done `sudo apt-get update` since installing? | 04:44 |
| d3cryptkeyp3r | that is really weird | 04:44 |
| q0r3 | Flannel: no, but i hit update in synaptic, it's going now | 04:44 |
| orudie | is open office 3 available ? | 04:44 |
| VicTheHunter | Hmmm... Under compiz general options, the number of desktops is fixed at 1. | 04:44 |
| Flannel | q0r3: Had you not done so before? | 04:44 |
| q0r3 | Flannel: no. | 04:44 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, info ubuntu-keyring | antdedyet | 04:45 |

| Flannel | q0r3: alright, pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) | 04:45 |
| oly562 | what is synaptic by he way... i been wondering about that,,, package manager? | 04:45 |
| asdfma1 | oh, so the regular updates gui will give me the upgrade? | 04:45 |

| bullgard4 | gnutronic, Flannel: Thank you for your help. | 04:46 |
| asdfma1 | oh, so I guess I already have it then... very smooth! | 04:46 |
| aslan | anyone been able to get that working? | 04:46 |

| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, actually, set the "Horizontal Virtual Size" to 4 | 04:46 |
| aslan | the middle button does not work correctly, it pulls up the tracker-search-tool | 04:46 |
| Madpilot | asdfma1, System->About Ubuntu will give you a version number/name | 04:46 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, leave the other at 1 | 04:46 |
| RetrogradeCultur | where does xchat save it's download files? | 04:46 |
| dpern | the idea is screen -> virtual webcam -> flash -> live broadcast. | 04:46 |
| RetrogradeCultur | home dir? | 04:46 |
| Sjaki` | Could someone give me a quick command to type to give my 'sam' account permission in /usr/src to do everything | 04:46 |
| aslan | I disabled this by moving /usr/bin/tracker-search-tool, but middle click still doesn't work | 04:47 |
| bobgill | Would "export $HOME=/home/myuser" in my ~/.bashrc be setting my HOME environment variable ?? | 04:47 |
| asdfma1 | hmmm | 04:47 |
| asdfma1 | it says "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 8.04 | 04:47 |

| RetrogradeCultur | ok thx | 04:47 |
| zidane_tr | anyone got their crossover keys yet? | 04:47 |
| aslan | bobgill: yes it would.. but that should be set automatically | 04:47 |
| Flannel | !pastebin | asdfma1 | 04:47 |
| ubottu | asdfma1: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 04:47 |
| Flannel | asdfma1: Oh, sorry. wrong person/etc | 04:47 |
| vocx | bobgill, yes, but that variable is already set for you, you don't need to change it unless you are doing something unusual | 04:47 |
| q0r3 | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64998/ | 04:47 |

| shad0w0fsin | can anyone help me? in intrepid I can connect to and ping other computers on the network but I can't use the internet | 04:48 |
| Sjaki` | Could someone give me a quick command to type to give my 'sam' account permission in /usr/src to do everything | 04:48 |
| dpern | idea is screen -> virtual webcam -> flash -> live broadcast. solution? | 04:48 |

| Vinnonet | Anyone got a good ubuntu intrepid sources.list ?? the one in the ubuntuguide.org overlaps muti entrys :S | 04:49 |
| VicTheHunter | Ok, compiz Horizontal size is 4, and Vertical size is 1. Number of desktops is 1. Am I on the right track? | 04:49 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: default route | 04:49 |
| vocx | Sjaki`, what do you want do to? We don't want to give you a command and then break you system. | 04:49 |
| Flannel | Vinnonet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64998/ | 04:49 |

| Dezine | Any idea where I can get flash player 9? | 04:49 |
| aslan | Sjaki`: you can type "sudo chmod 777 /usr/src/" but this is very bad security | 04:49 |
| Vinnonet | Fr'Flannel, Thanks mate. | 04:49 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, yes, that looks great | 04:50 |
| Thayle | That then does not allow me to install ubuntu. | 04:50 |
| Dezine | The default it 10 and it's giving me all sorts of grief on wordpress | 04:50 |
| vocx | bobgill, maybe paste the entire error in a pastebin | 04:50 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: netstat -rn | 04:50 |
| Sjaki` | vocx basically I just want to extract some tar.gz into that folder, but i'm having trouble doing most things in most folders under the gnome environment and it's frustrating (permissions wise) | 04:50 |

| mikematic | name_query failed to find name SAMBA | 04:50 |
| aslan | Sjaki`: just use sudo | 04:50 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: check /etc/resolv.conf has an appropriate name server | 04:50 |
| d3cryptkeyp3r | krontab: any word on the iwl drivers? i had a lot of problems with those drivers on 8.04 | 04:50 |
| VicTheHunter | Thanks. How do I activate the window cube? Is there some hot key? | 04:50 |
| Sjaki` | aslan I can't because i'm using a GUI to do most of it - the file browser doesn't have a sudo option that I know of | 04:51 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, also, say my name if you are talking to me so that I get alerted (I'm attempting to multi-task) ;) | 04:51 |
| aslan | Sjaki`: open a terminal and run sudo nautilus | 04:51 |
| boblemur | jaypro: any luck? | 04:51 |
| Flannel | aslan, Sjaki`: it'd be gksu nautilus | 04:51 |
| VicTheHunter | Thanks, Meshezabeel. | 04:51 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, did you enable both the cube and cube rotate effects? | 04:51 |
| aslan | anyone familiar with evdev and setting up mice? | 04:51 |
| aslan | Flannel: sorry ya.. my bad | 04:51 |
| shad0w0fsin | Faithful: hmm this is weird, my net has started working again, this happened before too, it just randomly starts working and then stops | 04:51 |
| jaypro | boblemur sweet! live cd works! but after i install the system, and booting it regularly, it wont have any graphics issues? | 04:51 |
| vocx | Sjaki`, you can do "gksudo nautilus" and have root access in a graphical way, but be careful. It's actually easier doing something like "sudo tar xvf my_file.tar.gz" | 04:51 |
| Sjaki` | what's xvf? | 04:51 |
| boblemur | jaypro: i cant garentee that,... but i didnt | 04:51 |
| Thayle | So that would be a: "Fuck ubuntu, stick with vista" on my problem? | 04:52 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: you have a dodgey router or network switch... | 04:52 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: Is there any reason you need it to go in /usr/src/? and it can't jsut be dealt with from your homedir? | 04:52 |
| q0r3 | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/65001/ | 04:52 |
| jaypro | hrmm...okay. ill try it anyway hehe. thanks! | 04:52 |
| Thayle | Because I really don't want that... | 04:52 |
| d3cryptkeyp3r | sjaki xvf is part of the options used to extract the tarball packages | 04:52 |
| VicTheHunter | Yes Meshezebeel, I've enabled both cube and rotate effects... | 04:52 |
| chainsawbike | you guys should really make the ubuntu torrents easier to find - http was going to take me 4 hrs - the torrent - 10 minutes | 04:52 |
| boblemur | jaypro: after i installed it, my graphics probs went aways... but it make take a lil bit of expermienting | 04:52 |
| vocx | Sjaki`, read the man page for "tar" it means "extract files and be verbose" | 04:52 |
| asdfma1 | anyone using external hauppage tv tuners with much success? | 04:52 |
| shad0w0fsin | Faithful: everything worked fine until i upgraded to intrepid, and the internet works fine on other computers on the network | 04:52 |
| jaypro | ahh aight | 04:52 |
| Dezine | Anyone know where I can download the older version, 9, of Adobe flash? The latest one is the only one in the repos and it's buggy. | 04:52 |
| q0r3 | Flannel: i don't know why that's happening... i didn't have anything else running | 04:52 |
| Madpilot | chainsawbike, there's a link off the main download page to torrents this time around, at least | 04:52 |
| === root is now known as Guest23481 | ||
| lixujia | emonkey ? | 04:52 |
| Sjaki` | @ flannel, honestly, I'm very very new to Ubuntu and I've had problems for 2 days configuring something. So i've resigned myself to following the instructions step by step, right down to the directory the instructur uses | 04:53 |
| q0r3 | Flannel: i'm doing it again | 04:53 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, if you click on the words that say "Rotate Cube" you should see a tab that says Bindings, this will give you different keyboard and mouse shortcuts | 04:53 |
| Sjaki` | @ vocx thanks | 04:53 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: are you using network manager to do your networking? | 04:53 |
| Guest23481 | hai | 04:53 |
| chainsawbike | Madpilot, ... i must of missed it | 04:53 |
| Thayle | One more time: I get the iwlagn: Error sending REPLY_ADD_STA: time out after 500ms. error shortly after trying to install ubuntu, right after the orange bar loads. | 04:53 |
| vocx | bobgill, but how are you launching this app? | 04:53 |
| shad0w0fsin | Faithful: yes | 04:53 |
| asdfma1 | whoa, i cancelled my software installation download, and now it's proceeding with installation of stuff that downloaded. nice! | 04:53 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: Wait, wait, If you're new, what are you compiling? Or a better question, what are you trying to configure/install/set up/etc? | 04:53 |
| Meshezabeel | typically, you can hold both left and right mouse buttons down on the desktop and then drag your mouse around | 04:53 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: configure your network manually for dhcp | 04:53 |
| Guest23481 | good morning...... | 04:54 |
| bobgill | vocx: it's mythbackend, it's one of the daemons on boot | 04:54 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: see if that helps | 04:54 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, (see last comment) and you can also use CTRL+ALT+Arrow Keys | 04:54 |
| d3cryptkeyp3r | how many of you guys have already upgraded to 8.10? | 04:54 |
| shad0w0fsin | Faithful: what do you mean? do you mean using a static ip address? | 04:54 |
| vocx | bobgill, so if this is at boot time, then yes probably your HOME dir is not set. Probably need to locate a configuration file or something like that. | 04:54 |
| anniyan4u | can anyone here tell me what is kde-config??? | 04:55 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel it's called pvpgn - it's a battle.net server software. i have to compile it and make install it manually, with mysql manually because the version in the ubuntu repo is nearly 1.5 years out of date | 04:55 |
| shad0w0fsin | d3cryptkeyp3r: I have | 04:55 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, also try CTRL+ALT+Left Mouse button | 04:55 |
| VicTheHunter | Meshezabeel, I've tried the <ctrl><alt>arrow keys, and also the <ctrl>f1-f4 keys, but the effects are now happening. | 04:55 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: no, use dhcp... hmm... that's right intrepid doesn't let you configure manually... | 04:55 |
| Dezine | Bummer, I guess I'll keep hunting on google | 04:55 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: did you file a bug to get it updated? Also, does debian have a newer version? | 04:55 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, now=not ? | 04:55 |
| vocx | Sjaki`, impossible how can it be that outdated, it maybe 6 months old, but a year, I just dont' believe it. | 04:56 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel I have seen a bug has already been filed, and what do you mean does debian have a newer version? Sorry. Also, do you mind if I pm you? | 04:56 |
| d3cryptkeyp3r | im still on 7.10... my wireless card stopped working completely using the new iwl drivers as opposed to the ipw ones | 04:56 |
| shad0w0fsin | Faithful: So any ideas on what to do? | 04:56 |
| Sjaki` | vocx well, let me double check, I know it's older than november 07 | 04:56 |
| Faithful | configure your /etc/network/interfaces and see if it keeps dropping | 04:56 |
| anniyan4u | can anyone here tell me what is kde-config??? i wanted to install a web editor | 04:56 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: What version is the newest version? | 04:56 |
| Sjaki` | flannel 1.8.4 | 04:56 |
| VicTheHunter | Meshezabeel, "now" incorrect. Should say "not" happening. | 04:57 |
| dpern | what's a quickway to change ip address on an interface? | 04:57 |
| billybigrigger | does anyone know why xchat or filezilla isn't in the repos any more? | 04:57 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, also try initiating it just on desktop wallpaper, just to make sure a program is not interfering | 04:57 |
| shad0w0fsin | xchat is | 04:57 |
| billybigrigger | or why xchat isnt even installed on a default ibex install | 04:57 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: have you got wireless as well? | 04:57 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: Ah, even debian unstable has 1.8.1 | 04:57 |
| shad0w0fsin | Faithful: nope, right now I'm using another computer as a proxy to access the internet | 04:58 |
| VicTheHunter | Meshezebeel, Ok. I show that initiate has the hot key <ctrl><alt>button1 on mouse | 04:58 |
| Flannel | billybigrigger: both are in the repos. | 04:58 |
| Madpilot | billybigrigger, xchat is in Universe | 04:58 |
| billybigrigger | ahh | 04:58 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel Yeah, so you see my problem. I guess they have just not been updated, even though bugs have been submitted apparently. | 04:58 |
| Faithful | configure your /etc/network/interfaces and see if it keeps dropping | 04:58 |
| q0r3 | Flannel: it worked, thanks :) | 04:58 |
| Madpilot | billybigrigger, but xchat hasn't been installed by default for a couple years - just Pidgin, which bites as an IRC client | 04:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | what is it to build a personal deb package that you can remove cleanly if need be? checkinstall? | 04:59 |
| VicTheHunter | Meshezebeel, Initiate hot keys did not work on the plain desktop background. | 04:59 |
| billybigrigger | i have universe enabled | 04:59 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel regardless, I have downloaded the 1.8.4 tar.gz manually, and plan to compile them for --with-mysql then make install them. | 04:59 |
| billybigrigger | i have all repos enabled and cant sudo apt-cache search xchat or filezilla | 04:59 |
| Xintruder | HI~ | 04:59 |
| anniyan4u | need some help with kde-config... please pm me if anyone wants to help | 04:59 |
| billybigrigger | no returns for them for cli or synaptic | 04:59 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: right, but you can do all that compiling from your homedir, also see: | 04:59 |
| Flannel | !checkinstall | Sjaki` | 04:59 |
| ubottu | Sjaki`: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 04:59 |
| weew | anyone know how configure heatset stereo bluetooth ?????? | 04:59 |
| vocx | billybigrigger, xchat was never installed by default, a long time ago there was xchat-gnome | 04:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | thinking that even though Sjaki`s working with self-compiling, he can build himself a package | 04:59 |
| Faithful | shad0w0fsin: check your syslog/messages to see if your nic is going up and down | 05:00 |
| Madpilot | vocx, actually xchat was default on one of the very early Ubuntu releases | 05:00 |
| Flannel | vocx: xchat was installed by default. xchat-gnome was never installed by default (and is a recent development anyway) | 05:00 |
| hosk | i need to set the media type of my wireless connection to 10baseT half-duplex, how do i do that | 05:00 |
| Daisuke_Ido | billybigrigger: they're both in the repos, have you done an apt-get update? | 05:00 |

| billybigrigger | Flannel: sources is good | 05:00 |
| vocx | Flannel, naaa, not possible, I recall xchat-gnome in dapper | 05:00 |
| Madpilot | vocx, some of us have been around that long, believe it or not :) | 05:01 |
| billybigrigger | Daisuke_Ido: no bloody servers are slow as hell, ill see what happens when it finished | 05:01 |
| billybigrigger | finishes | 05:01 |
| dpern | does 'Edit connection' work in networktools? | 05:01 |
| Flannel | billybigrigger: pstebin it please. | 05:01 |
| vocx | Madpilot, I know, I can tell you participated in xchat-gnome, right? | 05:01 |
| billybigrigger | Flannel: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/65003/ | 05:01 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel Thanks! I did not know about that. I will definitely do that. I'll go read the doc and come back if I have a problem. | 05:02 |
| Madpilot | vocx, honestly? xchat-gnome is awful, it's xchat crippled and made useless... | 05:02 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, the only other thing I can think of is that your Visual Effects is not turned on. Under gnome, I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance, click on the Visual Effects tab, and make sure Extras is turned on. | 05:02 |

| Sjaki` | Flannel Another question, if I have your attention. I'm currently TightVNCing into my Ubuntu home server (which has no screen of its own) which runs vnc4viewer, but I want to increase the resolution. How would I go about this - do you know? | 05:03 |

| esac | anybody have an intel 4965 and has been having long pauses on their network? im seeing 20 second lags just pinging the gateway. i rebooted into windows and tried it and dont see the issue. any ideas? | 05:04 |
| vocx | Thayle, does it appear in the update manger window or in the terminal, maybe it just means that the servers are slow. | 05:05 |
| bravo7_ | How i upgrade my ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 | 05:05 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | bravo7_ | 05:05 |
| ubottu | bravo7_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:05 |
| VicTheHunter | Meshezabeel, Ok. Again, I really appreciate your help. The next thing I'll try is to use GNOME and follow your steps. But I'll do that another day; I need to sleep now. | 05:05 |
| vocx | I have an idea, lets not chat anymore and put the freenode servers to mirror the ubuntu release, ha! | 05:06 |
| Thayle | vocx: Actually its when I'm installing from the CD. Right after the orange bar loads after selecting "Install Ubuntu" I get that error, and nothing happens after that. | 05:06 |
| phobiac | I just delted /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist using rm, is there any possible way for me to recover it? | 05:06 |
| Asdquefty | is the upgrade slow from all mirrors? | 05:06 |
| rww | Asdquefty: nope, some are faster than others | 05:06 |
| zidane_tr | whats the support like for fingerprint readers? | 05:06 |
| VicTheHunter | Good night everyone, y'all have been a great help. | 05:07 |
| skyfaller_ppc | hey everyone, can someone with operator powers on #ubuntu-powerpc go in there and fix the /topic to reflect that Intrepid Ibex has been released? I'm not an op | 05:07 |
| rww | If you're in Gnome, System > Administration > Software Sources > Download From... [Other] > Select Best Server, may be useful | 05:07 |
| vocx | phobiac, nope. Maybe it's possible with forensics tools. But first check if there is a backup named /etc/modprobe/blacklist~ it may be hidden | 05:08 |
| Madpilot | Asdquefty, most of the sources are probably being hit pretty hard - upgrade frenzy | 05:08 |
| Flannel | skyfaller_ppc: #ubuntu-ops is the place for that request | 05:08 |
| phobiac | vocx: I did, there isn't a backup. This sucks. | 05:08 |
| phobiac | Anyone know how to rebuild the modprobe blacklist? | 05:08 |
| Meshezabeel | VicTheHunter, you are welcome, have a good night | 05:08 |
| Asdquefty | i think i am going to wait, at least a few days, maybe until 9.04, i dunno | 05:08 |
| skyfaller_ppc | Flannel: thanks | 05:08 |
| Thayle | vocx: No idea? | 05:08 |
| Asdquefty | i dont know what 8.10 has over 8.04 | 05:08 |
| vocx | skyfaller_ppc, but PPC is not an official release is it? It is community maintained. | 05:09 |
| Flannel | vocx: That's correct. | 05:09 |
| vocx | Thayle, bad CD, bad hardware, buggy Ubuntu? When something bad like that happens, it must be a bug. | 05:09 |
| vocx | phobiac, that's why you should edit your system files with "vim", it always makes backups | 05:10 |
| * HorizonXP thinks Ubuntu should automatically choose the best package server, and not have to wait for him to select it himself | 05:11 | |
| Thayle | vocx: The cd doesn't have defects and I've tried three different CDs, and two different versions (32 and 64 I mean). | 05:11 |
| phobiac | vocx: I wasn't editing, I had recently rm'd a file and thought I had sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but it was sudo rm | 05:11 |
| HorizonXP | i just downloaded the package i was waiting for the last 2 hours for, in like 20s with the new server | 05:11 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel sorry to bother again, and a very noobish question incoming: what's my homedir | 05:11 |
| phobiac | There's no way to rebuild the modprobe blacklist? | 05:11 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel or rather, where is it | 05:11 |
| Nitro` | /home/name | 05:11 |
| rww | Sjaki`: unless you did something wierd and special, /home/yourusername | 05:12 |
| Sjaki` | Thanks guys | 05:12 |
| Asdquefty | Sjaki`, run cd with no argument, then "pwd -P" | 05:12 |
| Asdquefty | it should show you the string | 05:12 |
| Sjaki` | And there is no reason I can't checkinstall and auto-apt configure something to go into my homedir, rather than a default location which could be out of my permissions range? | 05:12 |
| ezzieyguywuf | so i've recently (past week) done a fresh install on linux mint elyssa (based on ubuntu 8.04). is ibex a big enough upgrade to warrant doing another fresh install? i got no beef with ubuntu over mint, i just went with mint for the built-in codec support really, but its nothing a few apt-gets won't fix in ubuntu. so, is ibex worth it? | 05:12 |

| Flannel | Sjaki`: ~/ is the same as /home/username/ | 05:13 |
| vocx | Thayle, then it could be a bug, you may file it in Lauchpad, or search for it, search the exact error message in google also | 05:13 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel oh! so that's what that means. Thanks | 05:13 |
| vocx | Sjaki`, also try "echo $HOME" | 05:13 |

| ezzieyguywuf | Guest: it is an internet phone/video service. similar to an instant messanger but with voice and video streams instead | 05:13 |
| aliask | Got a (hopefully) easy question for someone familiar with ALSA. How do I get it to output to /dev/dsp1 rather than /dev/dsp? | 05:14 |
| vocx | dan_, yes, seems like it can be done in awk, because it can loop easily, but I do not know the exact syntax. You may need to read the manual in this case. | 05:15 |

| dan_ | vocx: yeh i chatted at #sed infact | 05:17 |
| Flannel | ezzieyguywuf: It is a big jump. And you should use Ubuntu instead of mint. We don't support mint here, they have their own channel | 05:17 |
| Owner_ | Lokian: I love it | 05:17 |
| les | ezzieyguywuf: if you're happy with what you have stick with it. ibex is a bit zippier than hardy and has some new goodies like xorg 7.4, DKMS, private directorys, gnome 2.24, etc | 05:17 |

| zidane_tr | what version of ubuntu u running oly562? | 05:31 |
| therealnanotube | vocx: not only am i sure it had direct rendering, i'm sure it /has/ direct rendering on feisty, because I'm currently running feisty. ;) ah via, cool. unfortunately,,, i don't think my laptop will take a replacement video card that's not the same as the original. :) | 05:31 |

| oly562 | http://www.internetworkpro.org/pastebin/410/ | 05:32 |
| oly562 | have a look at the xorg.conf | 05:33 |
| therealnanotube | vocx: supports 3d, just "not as fast" as the fglrx driver. | 05:33 |
| billybigrigger | Flannel: i have xchat-gnome from apt-cache search xchat after my sudo apt-get update but how come no xchat2 or filezilla? | 05:33 |
| chris__ | cish_enci: did that correct the problem for you? | 05:33 |
| zidane_tr | all my ati settings are working fine oly562 and i only installed the restricted drivers | 05:33 |
| Deeta | @chris: Nah, the hardware damage one was some intel thingie | 05:33 |
| rigel | where does ubuntu normally put the cgi-bin directory? | 05:33 |
| vocx | lawstudent, that's right, java is big! | 05:33 |
| Chester | hi ppl | 05:33 |
| oly562 | zidane_tr: where do i get the restricted drivers? | 05:33 |
| oly562 | i dont know that means by the way, restricted | 05:33 |
| lawstudent | vocx: i see. | 05:33 |
| portablejim | Does anyone now about the addon cd for Intrepid?? | 05:33 |
| rigel | i'm using /var/www as my web root but it doesnt have a cgi-bin dir, can i just create one and modify a config file or what | 05:34 |
| zidane_tr | just goto system -> administration -> hardware drivers | 05:34 |
| oly562 | honestly i dont know video cards, just know how to get xserver running on most unix and linux os | 05:34 |
| Chester | Actually, i load my iwlagn driver by the console ... i dont really know why but thats a fact | 05:34 |
| Deeta | @oly562: restricted means that the driver is not free software or opensource | 05:34 |
| Chester | i want to load it automatically at the boot | 05:34 |
| oly562 | kde or gnome | 05:34 |
| zidane_tr | what Deeta said :P | 05:34 |
| therealnanotube | rigel: yes | 05:34 |
| Chester | how can i do this | 05:34 |
| oly562 | Deeta: thanks | 05:34 |
| Wavesonics | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/15043/ | 05:34 |
| vocx | lawstudent, perhaps there is a way to only get a minimal java stack, with only the classes you'll need, but I'm not sure on how to proceed on that | 05:34 |
| rigel | therealnanotube: do i need to modify a config file, if so which one? | 05:34 |
| Rolcol | Is there a way to only have one nautilus window open at once and just create a new tab automatically? | 05:34 |
| oly562 | << gnome gui | 05:34 |
| rigel | and who should be the owner/group of the cgi-bin directory? | 05:35 |
| oly562 | put it this way, when i run the screensavor it is real slow and laggy... | 05:35 |
| billybigrigger | Rolcol: i dont think nautilus supports tabs, correct me if im wrong though | 05:35 |
| Wavesonics | anyone who is interested, please take a look and vote up: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/15043/ | 05:35 |
| Intey | ur wrong | 05:35 |
| therealnanotube | rigel: you probably will need to modify the apache config... but maybe not. don't know what the default config it comes with is. | 05:35 |
| oly562 | but i do get full screen res, and my desktop is wider than the screen, another thing i do not like | 05:35 |
| Rolcol | billybigrigger: intrepid's version of nautilus supports tabs :D | 05:35 |
| Intey | gnome +nautilus do | 05:36 |
| therealnanotube | rigel: i suggest you check the apache documentation (assuming you are using the apache httpd server), for details and suggested configs | 05:36 |
| Intey | ^ | 05:36 |
| billybigrigger | Rolcol: wow, didnt know that :P | 05:36 |
| chris__ | Deeta: any suggestions as to what I might try to get this up and working | 05:36 |
| oly562 | so has anyone seen why those controlers do not work in ati catalyst control center? | 05:36 |
| billybigrigger | Rolcol: hah, thats sweet (just had to check for myself) | 05:36 |
| trupheenix | i'm trying to develop device drivers on Ubuntu using the Linux device drivers book. However I cannot find some of the required headers as mentioned in the book. Can anyone help me out? | 05:36 |
| oly562 | anti and anisotropic not working? | 05:36 |
| Rolcol | Now... to find out if it's possible to only allow ONE window open.. | 05:37 |
| oly562 | subdued controls. | 05:37 |
| tritium | trupheenix: which ones? | 05:37 |
| therealnanotube | trupheenix: what headers? | 05:37 |
| Deeta | @chris: No not really, I only remeber seeing "* ath5k blacklisted" in the changelogs. I myself have a rtl8185 wifi card. But threre must be a solution out there :D enough people with ath5 cards around :D | 05:37 |
| oly562 | i used this bin to load the ati driver: ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run | 05:38 |
| cish_enci | chris__, yes u can search from google with the keyword madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3861-20080903 | 05:38 |
| trupheenix | tritium: modules.h | 05:38 |
| chris__ | cish_enci: thanks | 05:38 |
| oly562 | fired up Xserver with xorg.conf, it worked fine, good res, but screensavors are the test,,, opengl one's do not work, very slow laggy | 05:38 |
| tritium | oly562: please don't. ubuntu packages nvidia and ati drivers. | 05:38 |
| oly562 | dont? what | 05:39 |
| d3cryptkeyp3r | so i take it people are already having problems with the wireless cards in 8.10? | 05:39 |
| tritium | oly562: don't use downloads off of ati.com. Use ubuntu packages. | 05:39 |
| Batsmasher | hey can you install 8.10 with wubi 8.04 | 05:39 |
| cish_enci | chris__, welcome | 05:39 |
| Batsmasher | ? | 05:39 |
| oly562 | ic | 05:39 |
| tritium | trupheenix: and that's part of what? | 05:39 |
| jim_p | oly562: glxinfo | grep direct please install ati and nvidia drivers from the repo | 05:39 |
| oly562 | whats the difference? can you explain | 05:39 |
| oly562 | thanks jim_p | 05:39 |
| trupheenix | tritium: that's part of the SKULL device driver in the book | 05:40 |
| oly562 | glxinfo |grep direct | 05:40 |
| oly562 | direct rendering: No | 05:40 |
| oly562 | OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect | 05:40 |
| tritium | oly562: the ubuntu packages are under package management. What you intsalled is not. | 05:40 |
| oly562 | is | 05:40 |
| oly562 | opps ic | 05:40 |
| FloodBot3 | oly562: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:40 |
| shad0w0fsin | argh, not sure what you call it but I can't type to quickly select a directory in nautilus on intrepid, is this normal? | 05:40 |
| jim_p | oly562: the packages in the repos are "build-to-fit" the kernel the distro has, that means less trouble like yours | 05:40 |
| Deeta | @oly: the difference is that ATI and other corps often are not that enthusiatic about GNU/Linux support and thus produce packages that are real likely to screw things up. The ubuntu packages have been tested and tweaked for stability though | 05:40 |
| Batsmasher | Hi, can you install Intrepid with wubi 8.04 | 05:41 |
| Batsmasher | ? | 05:41 |
| tucuna | intrepid's nautilus thinks my ext usb hdd is a picture cd, so when viewing the contents of the disk the GUI changes as if you were looking at picture cd (a 500GB CD!!) any ideas? | 05:41 |
| tritium | !ati | oly562 | 05:41 |
| ubottu | oly562: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:41 |
| Rolcol | tucuna: It thinks the same about my 8GB flash drive | 05:41 |
| tsampik0s | .irc.gr | 05:41 |
| oly562 | Deeta: on what hardware though... im on a dell laptop... is there a list where to see what laptops and card combos have been tested on the net? | 05:41 |
| zidane_tr | i had to do a fresh install Batsmasher | 05:41 |
| jim_p | Batsmasher: no, because some "apps" that do the install need to be updated for 8.10 | 05:41 |
| sunil | I'm rungning ibis on a laptop. Trouble is, is that ubuntu seems to ignore my /etc/hosts file half the time | 05:41 |
| tucuna | Rolcol - how annoying - what can we do? | 05:41 |
| oly562 | thanks ubottu | 05:41 |
| sunil | What could be going on? | 05:42 |
| jim_p | oly562: what vga are you on? i am on ati, i can help you | 05:42 |
| tritium | oly562: regardless of hardware, please use ubuntu packages rather than downloads off of ati.com, nvidia.com, or any other place. | 05:42 |
| Batsmasher | Ok thanks looks like I'll need to wait :) | 05:42 |
| Rolcol | tucuna: Don't know. Have you explored the preferences? | 05:42 |
| JeremyBicha | http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/desktopedition shows a picture of an expanded help menu, does anyone know why I have the old "Help and Support" ? | 05:42 |
| zidane_tr | anyone know how to up the sound output a bit more, its bloody quiet on laptop | 05:42 |
| oly562 | thanks tritium i heard you the first time | 05:42 |
| sunil | I've edited the hosts file so that I can access a testing web server, sitting in my flat | 05:42 |
| oly562 | jim_p: ill pm you, really picky bots in here | 05:42 |
| tucuna | Rolcol - doing that now :) | 05:42 |
| tritium | oly562: you asked what hardware. I answered. | 05:43 |
| Wavesonics | I FINIALLY HAVE 8.10 SERVER RUNNING!!! | 05:43 |
| sunil | after I edited the hosts file, I can ping the external server from the ibis laptop, if I ping it by its name | 05:43 |
| brandon_m_pace | zidane_tr: right click on the volume control and click Open volume control | 05:43 |
| oly562 | tritium: dont get personal,i have been askin the same question for an hour, and i havent blow up yet | 05:43 |
| brandon_m_pace | zidane_tr: then hit preferences and check everything | 05:43 |
| CaneToad | I read that 8.1 is supposed to be able to install onto a USB drive. Straightforward? | 05:43 |
| tritium | Nothing personal about my reply. | 05:43 |
| sunil | But, if I try access the server from firefox on the laptop, the request is answered by apaache on the laptop | 05:43 |
| brandon_m_pace | zidane_tr: then turn stuff up and down as you like | 05:44 |
| zidane_tr | yeah im not silly brandon_m_pace, just thought there might have been something to boost the preamp or something | 05:44 |
| brandon_m_pace | ah | 05:44 |
| L84supper | anyone know about VIA 3D unichrome support for 8.10? openchrome with 2D is the only supplied driver at the moment | 05:44 |
| therealnanotube | trupheenix: looking at this: http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/ch03.html it doesn't seem that they refer to a "modules.h" at all. | 05:44 |
| ChurleyEater | I've been trying to get my Atheros wireless card working in my laptop. I am totally new to Linux, and all the help I've found online has led me no where. I was trying to get something called madwifi to work, as it supposedly supports my card, but I've had no luck. CAn anyone help? | 05:44 |
| vicho- | Hello there, I need help with my ipw2100 wireless card on intrepid | 05:44 |
| Gumby | hi all. I am trying to start mplayer on a desktop remotely via ssh by using DISPLAY=:0 mplayer /path/to/file when I do this mplayer cant seem to connect to X stating "vo: couldn't open the X11 display (:0)" and then later on "E: client-conf-x11.c: XOpenDisplay() failed" I've fixed this in the past but I cant remember how. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 05:44 |
| tritium | vicho-: what about it? | 05:44 |
| sunil | I can ping the test server, I get a response. But if do a GET, the GET fails | 05:45 |
| * tucuna reboots | 05:45 | |
| brandon_m_pace | ChurleyEater: what version are you using? 8.04 or 8.10 | 05:45 |
| gbolte | hello | 05:45 |
| vicho- | tritium: I can't connect to internet, and no matter what i try, when i do 'iwconfig' on a terminal it always says that the device the card is on is 'unassociated' | 05:45 |
| ChurleyEater | brandon: how can I check the version? | 05:45 |
| rww | Anyone know how I can turn a Wubi install into a "fully" partition install? | 05:46 |
| sebsebseb | rww: you can't | 05:46 |
| tritium | ChurleyEater: lsb_release -a | 05:46 |
| gbolte | I have a computer with an ATI video card and every time I load up the latest drivers from their site Xorg fails to load and the computer crashes | 05:46 |
| sunil | ChurleyEater: I have spent many days trying to get an atheros wifi adaptor to work. I went to great lengths. I eventually gave up. | 05:46 |
| sebsebseb | rww: you have to install it properly from CD | 05:46 |
| sebsebseb | rww: with partitions | 05:46 |
| L84supper | anyone know if there will be 3d VIA unichrome support for 8.10? | 05:46 |
| zidane_tr | just backup your files and start again rww, even if you could it would probably cause more issues | 05:46 |
| ChurleyEater | brandon: thanks, it's 8.04(.1) | 05:47 |
| vicho- | tritium: I can't connect to internet, and no matter what i try, when i do 'iwconfig' on a terminal it always says that the device the card is on is 'unassociated' | 05:47 |
| ChurleyEater | sunil, damn, sounds bleak. | 05:47 |
| tritium | vicho-: I saw that. Peculiar... | 05:47 |
| demism | hi, I have ubuntu installed on another computer on my network. And I just installed ubuntu on this comp. I'd like to access that computers cache so that I don't take forever downloading any tips? | 05:47 |
| sunil | ChurleyEater: I do, however, wish you luck. You might suceed where I have failed. | 05:47 |
| Flannel | billybigrigger: filezilla is in universe, just like xchat. xchat2 isn't in the repos. | 05:47 |
| vicho- | i searched through internet with no luck whatsoever, that's why i'm here | 05:48 |
| therealnanotube | demism: cache of what, in particular? like the browser cache? | 05:48 |
| sunil | ChurleyEater: An ubuntu howto I found says that the atheros chipsets work with ease. | 05:48 |
| tritium | vicho-: that's odd. ipw2100 works quite well normally | 05:48 |
| sunil | But I've lost all faith in wifi under ubuntu | 05:48 |
| brandon_m_pace | ChurleyEater: go download the new 8.10 http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | 05:48 |
| demism | therealnanotube: the stuff I've downloaded from the repos, the *.deb files | 05:48 |
| brandon_m_pace | try that | 05:48 |
| ChurleyEater | sunil, yeah, I found such things as well. But I'm a total noob (TOTAL, I'm not hyperbolizing here). | 05:48 |
| billybigrigger | can someone lend a hand here, im trying to compile the newest xchat and i get an error saying...checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.3... no | 05:48 |
| vicho- | is there a know bug for this realease, because in version 8.04 it worked just fine | 05:48 |
| therealnanotube | demism: ah, ok, in that case, apt-proxy will be your friend. | 05:49 |
| tritium | sunil: no, it works. (I'm using it now.) | 05:49 |
| billybigrigger | so then i apt-get install glibc-2.7.1 and try and run ./configure again and i still get the same error, tried installing build-essential and still nothing | 05:49 |
| demism | therealnanotube: apt-proxy do I run this on server or client machine? | 05:49 |
| sunil | tritium: that is somewhat encouraging | 05:49 |
| gbolte | the end of the log where it crashes looks like http://rafb.net/p/dNeM7964.html | 05:49 |
| brandon_m_pace | sunil: Atheros chips are supported really well in linux | 05:49 |
| therealnanotube | demism: there's also apt-cacher | 05:49 |
| homerj | billybigrigger, you need the -dev packages | 05:49 |
| vicho- | so, anyone can help me? | 05:50 |
| billybigrigger | homerj: glibc-dev? | 05:50 |
| Gumby | does anyone here know how to enable a ssh client to start a program that uses X on the host PC | 05:50 |
| sunil | I've got an acer laptop with an atheros chipset. I've never managed to get it working | 05:50 |
| therealnanotube | demism: apt-proxy should run on the server (the guy that does the initial downloads) | 05:50 |
| ChurleyEater | brandon, I installed my version of Ubuntu using WUBI. Won't that prevent me from just going ahead and installing a new version of Ubuntu, or can UI do it with ease from the WUBi installed version of Ubuntu I'm using? | 05:50 |
| therealnanotube | apt-cacher - don't know, check the docs. :) | 05:50 |
| billybigrigger | n] | 05:50 |
| therealnanotube | demism: apt-cacher - don't know, check the docs. :) | 05:50 |
| billybigrigger | homerj: there is no -dev for glib | 05:50 |
| billybigrigger | glibc | 05:50 |

| Sjaki` | Hi there guys, I just used auto-apt and checkinstall to install a package in my home directory (/home/sam/pvpgn) however when exploring these folders in GNOME they are all locked, and I can't change them. How do I give the user 'sam' permissions to do everything to all files inside the pvpgn folder? | 05:52 |
| brandon_m_pace | bingungaja: read that look at the nvidia notes | 05:52 |
| tritium | sunil: no, the module is "ipw2100" | 05:52 |
| zidane_tr | bigungaja try changing your software source, thats what i had to do to get mine working | 05:52 |

| vicho- | anyone? | 05:52 |
| Ohmu | If anyone replied, please reply again. My net just came back up. | 05:53 |
| sunil | I might try to get mine going again sometime soon. | 05:53 |
| tritium | sunil: actually, I just booted up my thinkpad with atheros, and it is using madwifi (ath_pci) just fine | 05:53 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: Did you use sudo to put stuff into that folder? | 05:53 |
| sunil | wow | 05:53 |
| bingungaja | brandon_m_pace : oh i saw the release note, but i think they stated, it support for pentium3 up (mine is intel core2duo) | 05:53 |
| nite_johnboy | Hi - Anyone know the apt-get install command to run in Terminal to install Smuxi chat client ? ? | 05:53 |
| Sjaki` | I ran the command sudo checkinstall, so yes i suppose I did. | 05:53 |
| vicho- | anyone having trouble with a ipw2100 wireless card on intrepid? | 05:53 |
| sunil | I've installed ubuntu 3 times, and I haven't had such luck | 05:53 |
| Flannel | !repeat | vicho- | 05:53 |

| tritium | sunil: it was worked for several releases | 05:54 |
| therealnanotube | nite_johnboy: probably someting along the lines of "sudo apt-get install smuxi" ? | 05:54 |
| Bearcat | hey folks. I'm trying to update from 7.10 to 8.04 and then to 8.10. I am having a heck of a time. I'm trying to get this back to a client tomorrow. When i run the cdromupgrade from the alternate 8.04 disks i get a file not found for the tarball | 05:54 |
| brandon_m_pace | bingungaja: scroll down to the notes about nvidia | 05:54 |
| Bearcat | ... holy crap i think i fixed it! | 05:54 |
| Sjaki` | Flannel - I ran the command sudo checkinstall, so yes i suppose I did. (incase you missed it) | 05:54 |
| Bearcat | you guys are awesome!! Thanks!! | 05:54 |
| sunil | tritium: maybe I messed up the install, or messed up during my attempts to get it running. | 05:54 |
| therealnanotube | Bearcat: share the fix? ;) | 05:54 |
| brandon_m_pace | bingungaja: right below "Upgrading" | 05:54 |
| gbolte | I wonder if I should try to upgrade to 8.10 and try atidrivers again | 05:55 |
| sunil | I've failed to get it running in both hardy and intrepid | 05:55 |
| gbolte | then | 05:55 |
| gbolte | :D | 05:55 |
| vicho- | anyone having trouble with a ipw2100 wireless card on intrepid? | 05:55 |
| nite_johnboy | therealnanotube: tried that already - get an error - can't get locked packages. | 05:55 |
| Flannel | Sjaki`: right. When you're dealing with stuff in your homedir, you don't use sudo. BAsically, you used root to put stuff into your homedir, so now its owned by root. Do this: sudo chown -R sam:sam /home/sam/pvpgn | 05:55 |
| therealnanotube | vicho-: it doesn't look like it. maybe you'll have better luck posting on the forums... | 05:55 |
| bingungaja | brandon_m_pace : that's mean we must wait for nvidia :( | 05:56 |

| Mrono | i used ntfsresize to put it from 100gb to 45gb but it still says partition is 100gb yet windows only reads it as 45gb | 06:13 |
| Mrono | it won't let me change the size | 06:13 |

| rstlne | yes | 06:15 |
| Nikke | can i take more than one screenshot on a second? | 06:15 |
| jim_p | Mrono: gparted by itself will do the resize | 06:16 |
| brandon_m_pace | Mrono: You ONLY want to use the gparted live cd so you don't mess anything up, and defrag BEFORE you resize http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 06:16 |
| Mrono | jim_p what do i do if it won't let me resize it | 06:16 |
| brandon_m_pace | Mrono: you're not trying to use gparted in ubuntu are you? | 06:17 |
| Mrono | brandon: the ubuntu 8.10 live cd won't let me do it? | 06:17 |
| el2king | so, any solution or idea about the wireless problem? | 06:17 |
| brandon_m_pace | Mrono: use that live cd I linked to above | 06:17 |

| f3tal3r0r | Users of other nVidia chipsets that are supported by the 173 or 177 driver series will be transitioned to the nvidia-glx-173 or nvidia-glx-177 package instead. However, unlike drivers 96 and 71, drivers 173 and 177 are only compatible with CPUs that support SSE (e.g. Intel Pentium III, AMD Athlon XP or higher). Systems with older CPUs will also be transitioned to the nv driver on upgrade. | 06:39 |
| f3tal3r0r | im not auto transitioned | 06:39 |
| JeremyBicha | Naisenu, you probably ought to upgrade that stuff even if you don't use it because it will keep bugging you and if there was a security problem you may still be vulnerable since you have the stuff installed | 06:39 |
| ktemkin | I seem to be having an odd issue with volume control since upgrading to Intrepid this morning | 06:39 |

| bingungajaa | activate the drivers :P because mine is geforce which not supported,am i right ? | 06:40 |
| ktemkin | i.e. it acts like the key is still down even after it's released | 06:40 |

| sunil | When I try to get web service from a server within my network, I get service from the server on my laptop instead | 06:44 |
| sunil | I've set up the host files on both pc correctly | 06:44 |
| havoc_ | bingungajaa, I dunno, but using the propietary drivers the fans get sex on max, but the 3D works, without the pripietary drivers the fan is normal, but no 3D | 06:44 |

| bingungajaa | havoc_ : i rather wait for nvidia official drivers, some say, 3rd party drivers can do harm with your vga card, a bit risk to take | 06:46 |

| ktemkin | ever since Intrepid, my keyboard's been a tad screwey | 06:47 |
| sunil | ktemkin: is the keymap incorrect ? | 06:47 |
| ktemkin | it's the same as it was in Hardy | 06:47 |
| bingungajaa | havo_ : hehehehe, too bad why ubuntu 8.10 not supported yet, but for hardy is ok :( | 06:47 |
| homerj | yeah, it was screwy for me too | 06:48 |
| sunil | try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:48 |
| ktemkin | but I suspect something's different | 06:48 |
| Gokee2 | f3tal3r0r, Hmm right, me borther got a 9 series one | 06:48 |
| homerj | I had to tell dosbox to not use scancodes | 06:48 |
| homerj | for the arrow keys to work in dos games | 06:48 |
| ktemkin | considering now it thinks the super key is the X86 menu key | 06:48 |
| sunil | that will give you the option to use a different keyboard mmap | 06:48 |
| f3tal3r0r | LOL i love how people always give the generic command lines trying to fix a problem that is obviously more complicated than that | 06:48 |
| ktemkin | I'm using the same keymap I did in Hardy | 06:49 |
| ktemkin | I suspect this has something to do with the changes regarding xorg.conf | 06:49 |
| bingungajaa | does anyone can confirm whether wine is available for YM 9 or not ? been googling, some says ok, some says no .. confused | 06:49 |

| ziroday | mattgman: you may want to use screenlets, there a newer version of gdesklets | 06:50 |
| mattgman | thx ziroday | 06:50 |
| Gokee2 | f3tal3r0r, Did you check to see if the nvidia site provides linux drivers for that card? I have always had them work however you need to reinstall every kernel upgrade if you go that route | 06:50 |
| f3tal3r0r | yes i have tried to compile the kernel myself and followed all instructs to the tee however as stated earlier the people at nvidia could care less about linux | 06:51 |
| Sulle | i got nvidia drivers to work yesterday =) . I am all happy. | 06:51 |
| ktemkin | brb, going to try restarting my x-server | 06:51 |
| Welshman | thanks for intrepid | 06:51 |
| f3tal3r0r | I always get something to the effect of no displays found | 06:52 |
| Gokee2 | f3tal3r0r, You mean the nvidia installer failed to compile its module right? Or you tried to build your own custem kernel? | 06:52 |
| jarco | i have a weird problem. situation: New install with ibex. Only compiz running. The zero key at the numerical keyboard doesnt type a letter it just selects the next letter/number/space. Any solutions for it? | 06:52 |
| f3tal3r0r | i tried to build a custom kernel | 06:52 |
| ktemkin | did you check your keymap, jarco? | 06:52 |
| jarco | yes its correct | 06:53 |
| Gokee2 | f3tal3r0r, Hmm why did you have to do all that? | 06:53 |
| === xeros_ is now known as xeros | ||

| CaptainShanks | Okay, this question has been racking my brain for a good long time now... What is recommended more for installing packages with the command line, apt-get or aptitude? | 06:54 |
| f3tal3r0r | apt-get install | 06:54 |
| Gokee2 | f3tal3r0r, You can at least start up with nv in that state right? | 06:54 |
| jarco | apt-get imho | 06:54 |
| ktemkin | one's a front-end for the other | 06:54 |
| f3tal3r0r | yes | 06:55 |
| ziroday | mattgman: I think there is an option if you right click it, but not sure sorry | 06:55 |
| chrinr | aptitude is like shell synaptic | 06:55 |
| f3tal3r0r | i can start X and have the gui work for some reason when i load the nvidia driver module in the kernel it breaks something | 06:55 |
| DigitalFiz | how do i keep sendmail from starting up at the beginning? | 06:55 |
| CaptainShanks | Oh... So synaptic and Aptitude essentially fulfill the same purpose. | 06:55 |
| DigitalFiz | sendmail and some ntp take forever to start | 06:55 |
| jarco | i have a weird problem. situation: New install with ibex. Only compiz running. The zero key at the numerical keyboard doesnt type a letter it just selects the next letter/number/space. Any solutions for it? i checked my keyboard settings and it is set to the one i have. | 06:56 |
| eitreach | aptitude is a command line tool to work with dpkg, Synaptic is a graphical one. | 06:56 |
| xbskid | Is there any formal training or practice testing for the UCP cert? | 06:56 |
| DigitalFiz | eitreach, hit the num lock key ;) | 06:56 |
| CaptainShanks | So would switching between the two screw with my dependencies at all? | 06:56 |
| DigitalFiz | err jarco hit the num lock key | 06:57 |
| f3tal3r0r | frsh install = bliss - 3d....load modules in kernel to enable 3d = hell | 06:57 |

| f3tal3r0r | could sli be causing me these problems? | 07:01 |
| suspect43 | or will i need the alternate cd? i can't do a network upgrade because the electricity over here is frequently interrupted. | 07:02 |
| jarco | suspect43, when you put it in the drive it will give you the option to update :D | 07:02 |
| esac | kris_, i tried both. kvm was faster for me. from what i read, it looks like it is going to be supported by the ubuntu community better as well | 07:02 |
| kris_ | esac: I've used Xen a lot, but am looking at kvm simply because it comes standard now | 07:02 |

| abe3k | f3taler0r : simplest thing to turn on 3d is to enable the driver for your video card from the administration>hardware drivers :) | 07:15 |
| f3tal3r0r | im passing time until someone can answer my question | 07:16 |
| strAlan | to check the scores | 07:16 |
| strAlan | to see who won and who lost | 07:16 |
| ziroday | strAlan: can you not check them on a website? | 07:16 |
| strAlan | and a breakdown of the scoring if thats possible | 07:16 |
| f3tal3r0r | i have tried to enable the driver using that method | 07:16 |
| onats | pretty weird question | 07:16 |
| f3tal3r0r | i have followed nvidias instructions | 07:16 |
| jarco | when i download themes from http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=102 it mostly sais that the files i downloaded are no packages. Am i missing something here? | 07:16 |
| strAlan | what is this "website" you speak of | 07:16 |
| ziroday | strAlan: what team and country are you looking at? | 07:16 |
| f3tal3r0r | i have compiled my own kernel with the drivers and still no dice | 07:16 |
| ziroday | f3tal3r0r: what card? | 07:16 |
| esac | Ax4, sounds like pulseaudio is hanging on you :( are you running x86_64 by chance ? | 07:17 |
| ziroday | jarco: that is due to the theme not being packaged correctly | 07:17 |
| f3tal3r0r | 8800 gt oc bfg nvidia 512 in sli | 07:17 |
| Ax4 | esac, yes I am, intel quad core 6600 | 07:17 |
| strAlan | is there any chance I can talk to a manager I rlly need an answer on this | 07:17 |
| esac | Ax4, its a known issue with x86_64 and especially flash | 07:17 |
| ziroday | strAlan: we are helping you, what team and country are you looking for? | 07:17 |
| abe3k | f3tal3r0r : this is what I did before compiling the nvidia driver, sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* | 07:17 |
| jarco | ziroday, is it normal that over 50 % has that? Cn i still use them somehow? | 07:18 |
| Ax4 | esac, hmmm | 07:18 |
| f3tal3r0r | lol that is part of the driver install instructions | 07:18 |
| strAlan | well i'm a big hockeyu fan so id like to check all the scores for all the games | 07:18 |
| strAlan | so i guess all tealms | 07:18 |
| ziroday | jarco: yes you can, you need to repackage them. If you have a theme that you really really want you can give me the link and I will try to get it working for you | 07:18 |
| ziroday | strAlan: what country? | 07:18 |
| strAlan | afghan | 07:19 |
| abe3k | f3tal3r0r : what do you see when running the nVIDIA xserver settings ? | 07:19 |
| f3tal3r0r | okay is there a differnce between doing sudo su PW and be in root and just doing sudo | 07:19 |
| ziroday | f3tal3r0r: I have a similar card and it works fine. Are you using hardy or intrepid | 07:19 |
| strAlan | im not allowed to give my exact location but i'm in afghna | 07:19 |
| f3tal3r0r | i am using intrepid i d/l it today | 07:19 |

| esac | f3tal3r0r, just doing sudo is safer as you are only allowing one process root permission. running as root even for a short period of time is never a good idea | 07:20 |
| shad0w0fsin | can anyone help me? when I first start intrepid the network works but internet doesn't, then after a while it randomly starts working, then it stops working, and its not an issue with my router as my other computers can access the internet fine | 07:20 |
| mrono | hey brandon | 07:20 |
| ziroday | f3tal3r0r: and you tried to enable it through the restricted drivers manager? | 07:20 |

| Rolaulten | Hello...got one of those many updating ubuntu questions... did the live update...I assume everything works...went to reboot and now none of my linux kernels (they are just kernels from different ubuntu updates) will not load... SO any ideas on how to get ubuntu to boot once more or should I glean files off my ubuntu partition and do a fresh install? | 07:20 |

| jarco | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/CleanGreen+Theme?content=44063 this is the theme i like btw ziroday | 07:20 |
| ziroday | jarco: can you give me an example of a theme thats not working? | 07:20 |
| abe3k | f3tal3r0r : in interpid you don't have to compile the nvidia driver :), just enable it as ziroday has mentioned | 07:20 |
| ziroday | jarco: looking at it now | 07:20 |
| f3tal3r0r | the first thing i did was try to enable it using the built in hardware manager | 07:20 |
| jarco | :) | 07:21 |
| f3tal3r0r | then i d/l nvidia driver and followed there instructs | 07:21 |
| abe3k | f3tal3r0r : driver version 177 ? | 07:21 |
| f3tal3r0r | then I built a custom kernel and still no dice | 07:21 |
| f3tal3r0r | 177 yes | 07:21 |
| f3tal3r0r | reccomended | 07:21 |
| Flannel | strAlan: please keep conversation on topic (which is Ubuntu support) | 07:22 |
| f3tal3r0r | upon reboot usin the ubuntu built it enable option i get no monitors found | 07:22 |
| abe3k | f3tal3r0r : do you have the nvidia x server settings in the system>administration> ? | 07:22 |
| reqqit | !isitout | 07:22 |
| ubottu | Yes its out! | 07:22 |
| reqqit | ;-) | 07:22 |
| f3tal3r0r | hmm im not sure i would have to check | 07:22 |
| strAlan | i'm using ubuntu! | 07:22 |
| Gokee2 | shad0w0fsin, Whats ifconfig say? | 07:22 |
| f3tal3r0r | wait | 07:22 |
| reqqit | so, I am still looking for how to decrease TTL and increase max connections for ssh | 07:22 |
| f3tal3r0r | i do under the livecd but not after i actually install | 07:22 |
| brandon_m_pace | strAlan: please keep non support requests in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:23 |
| reqqit | that is, the sshd needs to accept more connections, and have a shorter TTL, I've googled the hell out of this, to no avail... :/ | 07:23 |
| abe3k | f3tal3r0r : maybe in applications > systems then ? | 07:23 |
| f3tal3r0r | when i run livecd and install the driver i get the option in the mamager but after i reboot seeings its live cd no dice, when i install to HD i get no screens found error when i install | 07:23 |
| ziroday | jarco: thats not a theme, thats an old emerald window decorator. It all manages the green border around the window | 07:23 |
| f3tal3r0r | forgot to mention that | 07:23 |
| jarco | ohw | 07:23 |
| jarco | it doesnt work on compiz then? | 07:24 |
| ziroday | jarco: no you need to have the emerald theme manager installed, and then I am not sure if its even supported in emerald. Sorry | 07:24 |

| abe3k | f3tal3r0r : try , sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig | 07:25 |
| f3tal3r0r | clarifaction: frsh install update using the ubuntu update then i reboot, then i enable the restricted driver in the hardware manager i reboot i get no screens found | 07:25 |
| ziroday | jarco: no problem, gtk themes usually end in .tar.gz | 07:25 |
| reqqit | Anyone know about setting TTL on ssh connections? | 07:25 |
| Husio | hello, I'm trying to set up the netboot installation for 8.10, following the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot howto. But I can't find netboot directory on install cd. Why? It's no longer on cd? | 07:25 |
| ziroday | f3tal3r0r: can you tell us what lspci | grep VGA gives you please | 07:26 |
| reqqit | Googling gives me weird xml configs that don't fit what I am seeing | 07:26 |
| loxley_ | Gokee2: google dkms, pretty clear what it does on the first hit | 07:26 |
| f3tal3r0r | when i run the livecd and select enable the driver i get the nvidia option but since its a live cd i have to reboot and it goes away | 07:26 |
| f3tal3r0r | brb | 07:26 |
| jarco | k thx btw can i select from the gtk 1 or 2 themes? ziroday | 07:26 |
| loxley_ | Gokee2: for example virtualbox kernel module gets rebuilt when upgrading kernel | 07:26 |
| ziroday | jarco: gtk 2 themes | 07:26 |
| abe3k | f3tal3r0r :also do , sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 07:26 |

| Gokee2 | What is the name of the kernel package? I thought it was linux-image but ubuntu says that is not installed | 07:35 |

| _2 | Sjaki time | 07:41 |
| ktemkin | the correct layout for my keyboard should be 'pc104' | 07:41 |
| ktemkin | it was configured that way in xorg.conf at the time of my upgrade to intrepid | 07:41 |

| shirish | hi all, I'm not able to download updates of Intrepid, kernel updates, although I'm able to ping to the archive.ubuntu.com | 07:42 |
| ktemkin | but it's obviously not | 07:42 |
| rww | Sjaki: the amount of CPU time used by the process since it was started | 07:42 |
| ktemkin | as several of the keys are mapped wrong | 07:42 |
| Sjaki | rww So while it says 0:00 does that mean it's paused? Or it just hasn't been called to process any info yet? | 07:42 |
| ktemkin | e.g. pressing the Super key returns X86 Menu, and pressing the menu key returns X86ScreenSaver | 07:43 |

| ktemkin | and the volume control keys seem to think they're being pressed constantly after they're used the first time | 07:43 |
| rww | shirish: try using an apt mirror. System > Administration > Software Sources > Download from: [Other], then pick a non-ubuntu.com server or press [Select Best Server] | 07:43 |

| ktemkin | *HAL | 07:43 |
| rww | shirish: also, make sure you do apt-get update after changing mirrors | 07:44 |
| ktemkin | but so far, no luck | 07:44 |

| rww | shirish: yeah, they are | 07:44 |

| bingungajaa | can i add widgets in ubuntu like windows ? how ? | 07:44 |
| Adam_ | How do I setup an encrypted Private directory for new users? | 07:44 |

| ziroday | bingungajaa: yes through screenlets | 07:45 |
| Gokee2 | _2, Mostly I use it to work with my gateway away from home hence the need for a browser so I can log in. Do you happen to know where grubs menu is stored nowdays? I looked in /boot but there is no grub? | 07:45 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: okay, this is livecd or installed ubuntu? | 07:45 |
| rww | shirish: yeah, give me a sec to remember the name of it | 07:45 |
| Sjaki | rww So while it says 0:00 does that mean it's paused? Or it just hasn't been called to process any info yet? | 07:45 |
| f3tal3rr0r | installed | 07:45 |
| f3tal3rr0r | on the HD | 07:45 |

| bingungajaa | ziroday : like this in the picture ? http://bp1.blogger.com/_dpFEn-yp6Rs/SHLyZidn8_I/AAAAAAAAB3M/EROP70k_b0M/s1600-h/ubuntu-windows-themes.png | 07:45 |
| rww | Sjaki: or it processed data relatively quickly | 07:45 |
| ktemkin | Is there some kind of tool to configure the keyboard layout now that it uses HAL, or is it XML-only? | 07:45 |
| f3tal3rr0r | okay | 07:45 |
| Sjaki | rww: thanks, yeah I just wanted to make sure it's actually good to go | 07:45 |
| ziroday | bingungajaa: those are either screenlets or google desktop widgets | 07:46 |
| f3tal3rr0r | ubuntu is saying theres updates | 07:46 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: install the graphics driver first | 07:46 |
| rww | shirish: I can't remember it, but suspect it might have been in Debian instead of Ubuntu anyway. Do you want me to give you the address of a server that isn't swamped? | 07:46 |
| f3tal3rr0r | 177 recommended? | 07:46 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: yep | 07:47 |
| f3tal3rr0r | select it nd click activate correct? | 07:47 |
| shirish | rww: I would like the command, so I also know, also can use it again whenever I get into jams like this | 07:47 |
| f3tal3rr0r | k typed in password | 07:47 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: okay, it should install the drivers | 07:47 |
| bingungajaa | ziroday : sorry to ask again, how can i make my ubuntu got icons (at the bottom of the screen) | 07:47 |
| f3tal3rr0r | downloading and installing driver | 07:47 |
| ziroday | bingungajaa: I believe thats a google desktop widget _but_ that could also be virtualbox seamless desktop and those widgets are from windows | 07:48 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: great :) | 07:48 |
| ulysess | hi | 07:48 |
| bingungajaa | thx | 07:49 |
| squid0 | hi. I have a package for an X driver that's giving me hassles. I'd like to use the same package from the previous release (Hardy). I thought I'd download the .deb, and then install it via dpkg. How do I force apt to use the old package, even when I upgrade? | 07:49 |
| _2 | howto put togather two lines like "1 2 3" and "a b c" so the output is "1a 2b 3c" ? | 07:49 |
| shirish | rww: I'm sure a command is there, most probably one of the apt commands | 07:49 |
| rww | shirish: the program's called netselect. We had it in the Ubuntu repos through hardy, but it looks like it got dropped for some reason. | 07:49 |
| ulysess | networkmanager don't save the changes on 8.10, any idea? thks | 07:49 |
| f3tal3rr0r | its complete and wants me to reboot | 07:49 |
| shirish | rww: right, its no longer there | 07:50 |
| Adam_ | if I create a directory under my user's home folder called "Private" will it automatically be encrypted? | 07:50 |
| lvlefisto | after I use xmms2 I can't make work some programs that use audio | 07:50 |
| lvlefisto | does anybody know why is that? | 07:50 |
| shirish | rww: I'm getting wmnetselect which obviously is not what we are looking for. | 07:50 |
| ziroday | Adam_: no, one sec lemme get instructions for you | 07:50 |
| rww | shirish: looks like it was broken and selected debian repos instead of ubuntu ones | 07:50 |
| rww | shirish: | 07:50 |
| rww | shirish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netselect/+bug/55671 | 07:50 |
| Adam_ | thanks ziroday | 07:50 |
| ulysess | lvlefisto: maybe if you change the audio server... | 07:50 |
| ziroday | Adam_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 07:50 |
| loxley_ | lvlefisto: probably pulseaudio - alsa fuckup. | 07:51 |
| rww | shirish: so yeah, apart from the GUI, I don't see a "Search for fastest server" feature (bug report didn't list any alternatives | 07:51 |
| rww | !language | loxley_ | 07:51 |
| ubottu | loxley_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 07:51 |
| shirish | rww: thanx, looking at it as we speak | 07:51 |
| paul___ | Could somebody help me install Adobe Flash player version 10 please? I have already tried installing from the .deb package downloaded from adobe's site but it didnt work | 07:51 |
| lvlefisto | should I shutdown pulseaudio and restart it again?? | 07:51 |
| f3tal3rr0r | @ziroday its complete wants me to reboot | 07:51 |
| rww | !flash | paul___, again, please read | 07:51 |
| ubottu | paul___, again, please read: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 07:51 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: okay, you can reboot or restart xserver. Your choice | 07:52 |
| loxley_ | lvlefisto: set to same in audio config | 07:52 |
| Adam_ | ggrr... I'm SSHing in now instead of being at the terminal, using the same user as i did at the term, but now I am getting an error saying the user is not in the sudoers file, any ideas? | 07:52 |
| loxley_ | lvlefisto: me thinks xmms2 uses alsa | 07:53 |
| ziroday | Adam_: what command are you running? | 07:53 |
| ActionBoy | I just installed hardy on my laptop (ThinkPad X30 with Intel 830MG graphics) and I have pretty bad color banding on the default desktop (either with the default wallpaper, or some arbitrary gradient). Best I can tell the resolution/colordepth are where they should be, not sure what else to look for/try... | 07:53 |
| Adam_ | sudo apt-get | 07:53 |
| _2 | anybody know how to put togather two lines like "1 2 3" and "a b c" so the output is "1a 2b 3c" ? | 07:53 |
| ulysess | why networkmanager don't save the changes on 8.10? thks | 07:54 |
| Gokee2 | _2, After spending all that time on the command line you don`t know a magic little command to do that? | 07:54 |
| Adam_ | yep, definately works at the physical term, but not via SSH | 07:54 |
| loxley_ | lvlefisto: problem is that , i think its pulseaudio that locks the audio so alsa can't use it | 07:54 |
| shashi__ | I have just installed 8.10 AMD 64. It is having still openoffice 2.4.1, it doesn't have 3.0 . | 07:54 |
| f3tal3rr0r | @ziroday says kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot... | 07:54 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: thats fine | 07:54 |
| _2 | Gokee2 never plaied there before | 07:54 |
| ziroday | shashi_: that is correct | 07:54 |
| lvlefisto | ok, and the solution is to change xmms2 conf to not use pulseaudio? | 07:54 |
| f3tal3rr0r | wants me to login im at a command line | 07:55 |
| Gokee2 | _2, You could always write a simple script to do it | 07:55 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: you are using ubuntu desktop? | 07:55 |
| loxley_ | lvlefisto: just kill pulseaudio | 07:55 |
| lvlefisto | ok | 07:55 |
| _2 | Gokee2 i can probably cludge togather something with while read ;do | 07:55 |
| f3tal3rr0r | yes | 07:55 |
| lvlefisto | I'll try that | 07:55 |
| rww | shashi__: Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't have OpenOffice.org 3. It might make it to intrepid-backports at some point, and will likely be in the next version of Ubuntu. | 07:55 |
| f3tal3rr0r | x86_64 desktop iso | 07:55 |
| loxley_ | lvlefisto: or set all your audio drivers to alsa | 07:55 |
| f3tal3rr0r | cd | 07:55 |
| Gokee2 | _2, They always have a space? I could write one in perl pretty quick if I had my xserver back... I like my mouse! | 07:56 |
| _2 | Gokee2 i was hoping some knew a secret tho | 07:56 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: okay, can you login and type "startx" | 07:56 |
| paul___ | I checked the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash | 07:56 |
| shirish | rww: another thing, do you have an /etc/apt/apt.conf file ? | 07:56 |
| f3tal3rr0r | fatal server error no screens found | 07:56 |
| paul___ | i dont know how to enable the multiverse repository | 07:56 |
| _2 | Gokee2 yes always a space for "IFS" | 07:56 |
| Madkiss | any ideas on my getty problem? | 07:56 |
| f3tal3rr0r | giving up | 07:56 |
| shashi__ | OK , I was expecting office 3.0, somewhere i read in the internet that 8.10 contains office 3. | 07:56 |
| rww | !multiverse | paul___ | 07:57 |
| ubottu | paul___: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 07:57 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: okay, you have a screen connected to this computer right? | 07:57 |
| lvlefisto | loxley_: thanks! it worked! | 07:57 |
| Gokee2 | _2, Hmm, that would be pretty easy to do then | 07:57 |
| f3tal3rr0r | xinit connection refused errno 111 | 07:57 |
| PeterBye | does anyone have the customer service number for ubuntu | 07:57 |
| rww | paul___: though it may already be enabled (think it is by default); try just skipping that step ;-) | 07:57 |
| shirish | does anybody know if an /etc/apt/apt.conf file exist? | 07:57 |
| f3tal3rr0r | unable to connect to x server | 07:57 |
| ulysess | anybody read me or I need any priviledges? | 07:57 |
| loxley_ | lvlefisto: yep ;) | 07:57 |
| _2 | Gokee2 i think i have it with awk. thanks tho | 07:57 |
| rww | shirish: nope, I don't. There's an apt.conf.d folder | 07:57 |
| f3tal3rr0r | xinit: No such process errno 3 server error | 07:57 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please | 07:58 |
| shirish | rww: same here, the release notes say there is a file, and there isn't. | 07:58 |
| Gokee2 | _2, See I knew you had the magic in you with al the command line time :) | 07:58 |
| Gokee2 | all* | 07:58 |
| b33r | can someone point me to a good guide to install the ubuntu .iso on a usb stick? | 07:58 |
| PeterBye | does anyone have the customer service number for ubuntu | 07:59 |
| rww | shirish: ah. You could either create one and make the modifications you need there, or edit one of the files in apt.conf.d and put the modification there. | 07:59 |
| ziroday | b33r: with the latest version there is tool in System > Administration > Create a USB startup disk that does it for you | 07:59 |
| rww | shirish: either way should work, I think, though the second definitely does because I did it recently :) | 07:59 |

| rww | drcode: rtorrent | 08:24 |
| leohartx | juniecho is there any way to do that ? | 08:24 |
| juniecho | leohartx// back up all your data with some external hard disk, delete two partitions, then create a new one | 08:24 |
| _2 | leohartx it will probably be renumbered but shouldn't hurt anything. | 08:24 |
| jim_p | drcode: qtorrent | 08:24 |

| anyan | 好的，谢谢jianjun | 08:24 |

| leohartx | _2 i've tried last night | 08:24 |
| jim_p | drcode: i made a mistake. qtorrent needs a gui :( | 08:24 |
| juniecho | leohartx//yeah, well, you need an external hard drive or something big like that, and... to do the partition job, use gparted. | 08:25 |
| leohartx | but i failed | 08:25 |
| anyan | jianjun,我不太懂英文 | 08:25 |

| ubottu | juniecho: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 08:26 |
| _2 | leohartx you will have to make sure that they are not mounted. | 08:26 |
| juniecho | sorry flannel | 08:26 |
| DistroJockey | Polysics, http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ (no 8.10 but there is a 8.10-RC) | 08:26 |
| Flannel | anyan: /join #ubuntu-cn | 08:26 |
| Polysics | DistroJockey, is it the last one? | 08:26 |
| anyan | Firefox can't find the server at irc.ubuntu.cn. | 08:26 |
| anyan | 出错，呵呵 | 08:26 |
| juniecho | leohartx// well, in some cases gparted can fail, hmm, i had similar problem long time ago... let me think. | 08:26 |
| Flannel | anyan: /join #ubuntu-cn | 08:26 |
| leohartx | _2 but after 2 partitions i want to format is another patition | 08:26 |
| Polysics | it looks like it is for MID devices | 08:27 |
| DistroJockey | Polysics, depends what you mean by mobile USB version | 08:27 |
| Polysics | but i will try | 08:27 |
| rww | anyan: channel #ubuntu-cn, server irc.ubuntu.com | 08:27 |
| Sierra | Hello, I know you're probably busy but I'm in a Live Session and I noticed that the "Volume Control" mutes recording from all Capture sources when you close the program. I was going to file a bug report but wanted to see if this wasn't just an issue on my end | 08:27 |
| esac | !cn > anyan | 08:27 |
| ubottu | anyan, please see my private message | 08:27 |
| _2 | leohartx i got that the first time. | 08:27 |
| Polysics | DistroJockey, there should be a netbook.specific version around, for ie. my Asus EEE 900 | 08:27 |
| leohartx | juniecho yeah, and i dont want to install OS again :( | 08:27 |
| Polysics | i've seen a review, but it didn't have links :-( | 08:27 |
| jarco | is there an easy command to let open office update to the latest version? I installed ibex but it comes with the 2.4. I prefer the 3.x version | 08:27 |
| leohartx | _2 so, do you have any solution ? | 08:28 |
| juniecho | leohartx//yeah you need to use some livecd so you can do the partition job without installing something | 08:28 |
| Flannel | jarco: No Ubuntu releases officially have OOo3 | 08:28 |
| jarco | ohw | 08:28 |
| DistroJockey | Polysics, ubuntu-8.10-rc-mobile-i386.img is listed | 08:28 |
| juniecho | leohartx//well, try SystemRecoveryCd. | 08:28 |
| DistroJockey | Polysics, as is ubuntu-8.10-rc-mid-lpia.img | 08:28 |
| rww | jarco: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/08/test-drive-openoffice-3-beta-in-ubuntu/ | 08:28 |
| Flannel | jarco: However, intrepid-backports should have it in a bit, if you can wait. Also, I believe theres a PPA with it currently | 08:28 |
| jarco | Flannel, when i do a manual install. Will it be overridden when the officeial package comes out? | 08:28 |
| DistroJockey | Polysics, but no non -RC for those 2 yet | 08:29 |
| jarco | yeah i can wait :d | 08:29 |
| juniecho | leohartx// www.sysresccd.org | 08:29 |
| Polysics | DistroJockey, ok, so i'll just wait a little more. thanks! | 08:29 |
| leohartx | juniecho so, i can merge 2 partition without any probs ? | 08:29 |
| _2 | leohartx yes dismount the file systems on the partitions in question, then delete the partitions in question, and make a new partition where the empty space is. i think i can do that with gparted but i'm sure i can with cfdisk | 08:29 |
| Flannel | jarco: Your manual install should be in /usr/local/, as long as its there, the package manager wont touch it | 08:29 |
| Polysics | actually, the MId version is in the official area, but not the mobiel version | 08:29 |
| DistroJockey | Polysics, *nods* no problem | 08:29 |
| jarco | ok | 08:29 |
| jarco | thx for the help guys :D | 08:29 |
| ditch64 | hello, i have a rather annoying problem i was hoping someone here could maybe help me with | 08:29 |
| leohartx | _2 cfdisk ? | 08:29 |
| juniecho | well, leohartx, the thing is, you're NOT merging two partitions, but deleting one and expanding the other one. | 08:29 |
| leohartx | _2 a command ? | 08:29 |
| rww | !ask | ditch64 | 08:30 |
| ubottu | ditch64: 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. :-) | 08:30 |
| _2 | leohartx don't ask me to demonstrate though. cause i don't have any partitionl | 08:30 |
| _2 | leohartx man cfdisk | 08:30 |
| juniecho | leohartx// your hdd is like this: [partition1][partition2] and you'll make it like [partition1][emptyspace], then expand like [partition1 ] | 08:30 |
| leohartx | juniecho yeah, i know, but there is another patition after 2 partitions i want to merge | 08:30 |
| leohartx | juniecho like this : [partition1][partition2][partition3] | 08:31 |
| ditch64 | lol ok, basically i left windows (i run ubuntu on my laptop an i love it) im putting it on my desktop now, i installed it like 9 times trying to figure it out, well EVERY time i try to load i get a GRUB error stating ERROR 21, now im not dual booting even though i have plans on doing so, but just trying to get ubuntu to work it does it | 08:31 |
| juniecho | leohartx//so what is the result you want? | 08:31 |
| leohartx | juniecho i want to join 1 and 2 into 1 | 08:31 |
| leohartx | juniecho i mean partition1 and partition2 | 08:32 |
| leohartx | juniecho is it possible ? | 08:32 |
| juniecho | leohartx//in that case you need to back up all the files in partition2 and delete partition2, then it will be like [partition1][emptyspace][partition3] | 08:32 |
| woody86 | Can anyone help me out? I used to be able to connect fine in Gnome, but after I installed KDE, I can't connect to my netwrok in Gnome anymore | 08:32 |
| juniecho | now there is an empty space, you could expand partition1 with that space like [partition1---------][partition3] | 08:33 |
| leohartx | juniecho partition1 and 2 aren't nessaccery any more | 08:33 |
| ditch64 | no ideas anybody? | 08:33 |
| esac | !patience | ditch64 | 08:34 |

| leohartx | juniecho this i my HDD : [swap][linux][partitioin1][partition2][partition3] | 08:34 |
| juniecho | leohartx//so what? partition1 can be extended so that it can take all the space previously assigned to partition1+partition2, then it could be reformatted. | 08:34 |
| ditch64 | sorry, im just tired, ive been working on this for like 2 days now i do apologise | 08:34 |
| jim_p | ditch64: 21 : "Unknown boot failure" This error is returned if the boot attempt did not succeed for reasons which are unknown. | 08:35 |

| chronosx | how can i check for crontab error? | 08:35 |
| juniecho | leohartx//so do you want it to be like, [swap][linux][partition3]? | 08:35 |
| zidane_tr | what do ppl reckon is better? 32 or 64 bit ubuntu? | 08:35 |
| jim_p | ditch64: can you do a small description of the partitions layout? | 08:35 |
| jim_p | zidane_tr: are you on more that 4GB of ram? | 08:35 |
| juniecho | leohartx//yes, if you actually merge the partitions, problems will occur, because there can be duplicate folder/file name entries, so on | 08:35 |
| leohartx | juniecho no, like this [swap][linux][newpartition in ext3][partition3] | 08:36 |
| zidane_tr | not yet but i am looking at going to 4gb jim_p | 08:36 |
| _2 | zidane_tr 64bit but only if you have 64 bit hardware, and you what 64bit software. other wise 32bit. | 08:36 |
| ditch64 | jim_p: i have an EXT3 partition that is 73GB and a 3GB swap area | 08:36 |
| Sierra | Just confirmed on three systems about the mute-capture-on-close for the Volume Control, any one know if there could be a legitimate cause of this? | 08:36 |
| zidane_tr | what im getting at is there any disadvantages with 64-bit? | 08:36 |
| juniecho | leohartx//that's easy, delete partition1, partition2, then it will be like [swap][linux][empty space][partition 3] | 08:36 |
| jim_p | zidane_tr: then go 64 bit and prepare bor flash stupidity | 08:36 |
| jim_p | *for | 08:36 |
| kiosk | kki | 08:36 |
| jim_p | ditch64: one drive only? | 08:36 |
| juniecho | leohartx//and then you could create a new partition, using whole empty space. | 08:37 |
| ditch64 | yes | 08:37 |
| leohartx | juniecho will it occur error ? | 08:37 |
| jim_p | ditch64: reisntall grub then | 08:37 |

| juniecho | it is NOT merging, it is claiming some empty area by deleting, so you can use the space to create a new big partition. | 08:39 |
| stapel | sierra: does this affect me? | 08:39 |
| Bossmanbeta | DistroJockey, I cannot seem to run firefox 3.... what's the executable name for it? | 08:39 |
| leohartx | juniecho another prob :), why my mounted ext3 partition can be read or written ? | 08:39 |
| Sierra | stapel: Only if you use a card from that series | 08:39 |
| kiosk | apa..... | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | Bossmanbeta, either firefox or firefox3 or firefox-3 I guess | 08:39 |
| stapel | Sierra: How can I check? ATI website? | 08:39 |
| jim_p | Bossmanbeta: i dont think there is another way. compiling ff from source is a big job since it has some like 50 parammeters | 08:40 |
| juniecho | leohartx// what do you mean? of courese mounted ext3 partitions can be read or written. | 08:40 |
| Bossmanbeta | ah I got it.... firefox-3.0 <-- but it runs 3.0a | 08:40 |
| ditch64 | jim_p: so then it just keeps trying to load a sector that doesnt exist? | 08:40 |
| Bossmanbeta | which is not the latest | 08:40 |
| Bossmanbeta | ...I guess i have to go manuall | 08:40 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Bossmanbeta: there is only ff2 in the repo, hardy has ff3 but the ubuntu version before only have ff2 | 08:40 |
| juniecho | leohartx//because ext3 filesystem is for linux, of course linux supports ext3 filesystem. so, yeah, when the partition is mounted, it can read or write to it. | 08:41 |
| jim_p | Bossmanbeta: keep in mind that ff 3.03 needs the newest xurlrunner to compile! | 08:41 |
| leohartx | but last night, i'd tried many time but it didnt work | 08:41 |
| VSpike | Can anyone who knows how to use GDB have a look at this bug and suggest how I can debug it further? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/290673 | 08:41 |
| jim_p | Bossmanbeta: you may have to compile it soo | 08:41 |
| Sierra | stapel: Are you using a laptop? Are you running Windows? You can check what video card you are running from it's control panel | 08:41 |
| jim_p | *too | 08:41 |
| imotic | anybody know how to reset the (wired) network connection in intrepid? | 08:41 |
| Flannel | !firefox | Bossmanbeta | 08:41 |
| ubottu | Bossmanbeta: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 08:41 |
| Bossmanbeta | DIFH-iceroot, I haven't tried to compile ff3 ... ... when I apt-get'ed FF3, it auto isntalled curlrunner | 08:41 |
| leohartx | juniecho but last night, i'd tried many time but it didnt work | 08:41 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Bossmanbeta: ok | 08:41 |
| _2 | imotic ifupdown ? | 08:41 |
| juniecho | leohartx//did you encounter some error messages? | 08:41 |
| jim_p | ditch64: can you give me some more specifications of your pc? | 08:41 |
| VSpike | It's really breaking 8.10 for me and I'd like to encourage the devs to look at it by adding as much info as I can | 08:41 |
| VSpike | Similarly, if anyone else has problems with fusesmb, please contribute to the bug | 08:41 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest93302 | ||
| Bossmanbeta | thanks flannel | 08:42 |
| leohartx | juniecho no, but i did all of those in nautilus | 08:42 |
| _2 | imotic sudo ifdown eth0 ;sudo ifup eth0 ??? | 08:42 |
| leohartx | juniecho with gparted and disk manager | 08:42 |
| ditch64 | jim_p: um not sure on the MB, 3 gigs of ram 80 GB HD ATA Seagate, Intel Core 2 DUO 2ghz | 08:43 |
| stapel | Sierra: No Windoze. Bought a brand new dell inspiron 530 desktop. Got it yesterday and immediately upgraded. Now 3d effects don't work, and driver from proprietry hardware can't be activated | 08:43 |
| juniecho | leohartx//so the big thing is gparted, because IT is the partition editor. did you encounter any error messages when you used gparted? | 08:43 |
| xnv | Why is it when I change my network configuration, my /etc/resolv.conf is not updated? | 08:43 |
| bullgard4 | How can I concatenate four .flv files to play them in Totem Movie Player? | 08:44 |
| jim_p | ditch64: ata as in paralel ata?? | 08:44 |
| xnv | (I'm using 8.10) | 08:44 |
| Sierra | stapel: I'll check the stats online for you, hold a moment. I don't think though this particular issue will effect you since it's relevant to older ATIs but let me check first | 08:44 |
| ditch64 | jim_p: i think so, it is the older style of connecting the HD, it is NOT SATA | 08:44 |
| leohartx | juniecho no, nothing | 08:44 |
| juniecho | hey guys, sorry to interrupt, but i want to autorun this command every time i start x, "xsetwacom set touch touch "0"" | 08:44 |
| _2 | bullgard4 cat file1 file2 file4 file4 > newfile | 08:44 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: cat file1.flv file2.flv file3.flv file4.flv > mergedfile.flv | 08:44 |
| juniecho | leohartx//so what are the steps you've taken yesterday? | 08:45 |
| _2 | bullgard4 but don't typo like i did. | 08:45 |
| Sierra | junieco: Does System > Preferences > Sessions suffice? | 08:45 |
| jim_p | ditch64: let me think then | 08:45 |
| stapel | Sierra: thanx | 08:45 |
| bargaunmart | hey I once shot an elephant in my pajamas! | 08:45 |
| wers | how do i get the new gnome wallpapers? | 08:45 |
| juniecho | Sierra//does it apply before I log on? i mean, i want to disable touchscreen once and for all, even in log on screen. | 08:45 |
| _2 | bargaunmart why was there an elephant in your pj's ? | 08:46 |
| bullgard4 | imotic: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 08:46 |
| imotic | bullgard4, is that new? | 08:46 |
| bargaunmart | gee I wisd i knew! | 08:46 |
| leohartx | juniecho 1. i used disk manager as SU to unmount 2 partitions. 2. i used gparted as SU to delete and format 1 parttiton 3. iused disk manager to mount new partition | 08:46 |
| bullgard4 | _2: Your answer is wrong. | 08:46 |
| jim_p | ditch64: can you make a small ~51-100 MB /boot partition? | 08:46 |
| darren_ | Hello to all, not sure if i am in the right channel, i am interested in making my own web site. could some one please recommend good software and do i need to have a server running, sorry i am very new to this thank you | 08:46 |
| naxa | hi! i've just installed interpid ibex! First everything was beautiful, desktop cube worked on my intel 82945/GZ integrated card, but then I went to system->settings->GL desktop, and everything instantly went slow, strange stripes appeared on my sidebar and then disappeared, and the whole display is very-very slow! If I disable compiz it restores to normal, but it worked fine out of the box at the first time even with compiz. it only went wrong w | 08:46 |
| naxa | hen i opened the GL desktop program from settings. but after that, it never restored to normal, it is allways slow. what should I do? I use the intel driver (I read, however, that the new xorg possibly can bypass this in the xorg.conf and simply autodetect the card!) | 08:46 |
| rexwin | i am getting error Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main libglib2.0-0 2.16.4-0ubuntu3 | 08:47 |
| rexwin | 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] | 08:47 |
| blunder | ok now | 08:47 |
| ditch64 | jim_p: im not sure if this make a difference but, i just went into "superuser" on terminal and went into grub, typed in "Find /boot/grub/stage1" and it said "error 15: File not found" | 08:47 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: Your answer is wrong. | 08:47 |
| _2 | bullgard4 how so ? other than the typo ? file4 twice ? | 08:47 |
| rexwin | when trying to run sudo aptitude install imagemagick | 08:47 |
| DracoZA | darren_ You are bound to find more detailed information on your query via Google, there are just too many options and ways to discuss here | 08:47 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: why? | 08:47 |
| DistroJockey | ignore bullgard4 he's a troll | 08:47 |
| Sierra | stapel: I can't seem to find what video card the dell inspiron 530 uses, apparently it's an intel one. | 08:47 |
| juniecho | .....hmm, leohartx, instead of booting into linux installation, try using a livecd. try systemrescuecd. | 08:47 |
| ditch64 | jim_p: yea i can make one but ive already tried everything from auto install to a really small boot partition to a really big one | 08:47 |
| bullgard4 | _2: Totem will play only the first part and stop then. | 08:48 |
| darren_ | DracoZA, ok ill have to search around, but do i need a server running | 08:48 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: Totem will play only the first part and stop then. | 08:48 |
| resmo | hi | 08:48 |
| _2 | bullgard4 you asked how to concatinate them. we told you. you didn't ask how to decode them. | 08:48 |
| jim_p | ditch64: is there some thing on the bios about hdds? does the drive get recognised properly? | 08:49 |
| JeremyBicha | http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/desktopedition shows a screenshot of an expanded help menu in the Gnome System menu, does anyone else have this or know why I still have the old "Help & Support"? | 08:49 |
| DracoZA | darren_ it's probably easier to find a web hosting service in the beginning that can do it very cheap | 08:49 |
| leohartx | juniecho what do i have to do | 08:49 |
| Sierra | stapel: According to the release notes "The ATI video driver in 8.10 drops support for video cards with r300 based chips (the Radeon 9500 - X600 Series of cards)" | 08:49 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: use avidemux then. it will take much longer | 08:49 |
| darren_ | DracoZA, ok thanks for the reply | 08:49 |
| juniecho | leohartx// to download systemrescuecd, go to www.sysresccd.org and download the livecd image, burn it, | 08:49 |
| stapel | Sierra: No it's definetely ATI. 128MB radeon HD 2400 | 08:49 |
| bullgard4 | _2: I asked for playing in Totem. | 08:49 |
| DracoZA | darren_ No prob, good luck | 08:49 |
| xnv | It appears to me that the 8.10 Network Configuration is not working. If I change my DNS server and search domain, it appears to have no effect. /etc/resolv.conf is not changed and my pings indicate no changes. | 08:50 |
| juniecho | leohartx//when finished, keep the cd in and restart the system to boot into systemrescuecd. it contains all the tools you need to restore a system, of courese including partition editor. | 08:50 |
| _2 | bullgard4 as jim_p said, but that's not "concatinating" that's decoding, decide what you want before you ask. | 08:50 |
| ditch64 | jim_p: well right now im running off of a live CD because this is the only way i can use the computer so im not sure if i can modify anything in here or if anything works with the HD from here since im running off of the CD | 08:50 |
| xnv | Anyone know what's going on? | 08:50 |
| blunder | ok so no show stoppers on the 8.10 cool | 08:50 |
| ditch64 | jim_p so im not sure if terminal will modify anything when im in LIVE CD | 08:51 |
| juniecho | leohartx//i'll restart x, be right back. | 08:51 |
| Sierra | stapel: Ahh ok then, then it doesn't appear relevant to that particular problem. I'm sorry but the only ATI gear I have is a Mobility X2300 so I can't assist you further | 08:51 |
| FredTC | I'm sorry to bother you folks, but I just finished the Ibex upgrade and have a slight problem... | 08:51 |
| Sierra | stapel: Plenty of ATI users around though, keep trying or have a look on the ubuntu forums | 08:51 |
| FredTC | When trying to connect to a wireless network, I get NO option to enter a WPA password... | 08:51 |
| jim_p | ditch64: it can do the grub and if you chroot you can do more | 08:51 |
| patrick-1 | hey all, im trying to mount an md device using an ubuntu 7 livecd which wont work... anyone got an idea on that? | 08:51 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: 'man avidemux' does not mention 'concatenat*' nor .flv. How can this work? | 08:51 |
| resmo | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (fresh setup), User management alias user-admin is not working correctly imho, can not unlock (sudo) because this button is not enabled. Any hints? Bug? | 08:52 |
| ditch64 | jim_p: ya see i have no idea what that means | 08:52 |
| mikebeecham | can someone tell me how I can remove the 'wired connection' icon from my panel? I've right-clicked but there is no option to remove from panel | 08:52 |
| Bossmanbeta | flannel thanks for that firefox 3 help | 08:52 |
| ziroday | resmo: it uses policykit, you shouldn't start it with sudo users-admin. Just start it with users-admin | 08:52 |
| jim_p | bullgard4: what does concatentate mean? merge? | 08:52 |
| Bossmanbeta | Flannel I used UbuntuZilla ... python script......... worked perfectly. | 08:52 |
| resmo | ziroday: i tried to use it in gnome GUI so not in CLI, but the button is not enabled | 08:53 |
| DracoZA | jim_p correct | 08:53 |
| stapel | Sierra: thanx. Is a bit dissapointed though, that I spend money buying this exact machine from Dell, because I thought this way, I will know that all my hardware is supported | 08:53 |
| reqqit | http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2006-May/015656.html << Look at this query on rsync - I am looking to tune the same thing for scp on 6.06 - I want to set TTL and max connections on a server, but nothing seems to be working (all results give xml config files, which sshd doesn't seem to use) | 08:53 |
| bullgard4 | jim_p: To connect in series. | 08:53 |
| ziroday | resmo: you need to click on the "unlock" button | 08:53 |
| SpinachHead | does the upgrade from 8.4 to 8.10 work as well as a new 8.10 installation, or is it better to keep a home dir and blow 8.4 away with a new 8.10 install? | 08:53 |
| resmo | ziroday: exactly this button is NOT enabled can not click on it | 08:53 |
| ziroday | resmo: you mean its greyed out? | 08:54 |
| Sierra | stapel: Personally I can't stand ATI, I find nVidia to be supported better despite what the group think says. | 08:54 |
| resmo | ziroday: yep | 08:54 |
| patrick-1 | http://pastebin.ca/index.php this is my /proc/partitions .. how do i enable the livecd to be able to mount the md devices i previously created? | 08:54 |
| prabu | hello how to edit the boot menu ? | 08:54 |
| _2 | !grub > prabu | 08:54 |
| ubottu | prabu, please see my private message | 08:54 |
| bullgard4 | SpinachHead: "work as well" is ambiguous. Both procedures have their disadvantages. | 08:54 |
| ziroday | resmo: can you verify you have the package policykit-gnome and libpolkit-gnome0 installed | 08:54 |
| resmo | ziroday: mom plz | 08:55 |
| SpinachHead | well, the last time i did a upgrade on another linux flavor, it performed poorly, thats why asking... | 08:55 |
| FredTC | Anyone? | 08:55 |
| DistroJockey | SpinachHead, if your /home is on a separate partition, (and you don't mind configuring and installing the extra software you want) I would do a clean install | 08:55 |
| SpinachHead | yeah, thats where im leaning right now | 08:55 |
| mikebeecham | can someone tell me how I can remove the 'wired connection' icon from my panel? I've right-clicked but there is no option to remove from panel | 08:56 |
| xnv | Does anyone understand the new Network Configuration stuff? I want to know why my changes are not taking effect or being reflected in /etc/resolv.conf | 08:56 |
| ziroday | Hi, which version of the nvidia drivers do I need to install for a Nvidia GeForce 5500FX? | 08:56 |
| blunder | wow the irc logs from the 30th are 2.4meg heheh | 08:57 |
| FredTC | xnv: can't say I do...all I want is for it to let me enter a WPA passphrase and it seems that's no longer an option | 08:57 |
| cpro | hi | 08:57 |
| resmo | ziroday: both are installed | 08:57 |
| cpro | can any budy tell me how to upgrade to 8.10 | 08:57 |
| _2 | mikebeecham this is a stab in the dark, but; have you tried clicking the icon to open the app then using it's menu to quit said app ? | 08:57 |
| mattgyver83 | one downside to 8.10, after installing. Viewing in firefox looks just like IE, it use to be sharp and look better... now it looks like garb | 08:57 |
| xnv | FredTC: I don't have a problem with that | 08:58 |
| bullgard4 | cpro: Join #ubuntu+1. People there will tell you. | 08:58 |
| ziroday | resmo: and your user has the necessary privilages to use the gnome utils? | 08:58 |
| ziroday | !upgrade | cpro | 08:58 |
| ubottu | cpro: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 08:58 |
| xnv | bullgard4: Is #ubuntu+1 still 8.10? | 08:58 |
| f3tal3rr0r | @ ziroday SO i now know that the reason is becasue this kernel has xen enabled and the driver doesnt work with xen enabled kernels | 08:58 |
| prabu | any 1 knows how to edit the boot menu ? | 08:58 |
| keneida | hello, during upgrade to 8.10 system crashes on starting irda utills. It happened also when i was upgrading to 8.04.what i should check? | 08:58 |
| mikebeecham | _2: I'm a 3 day old linux user....can I do that without dropping my connection? | 08:58 |
| ziroday | f3tal3rr0r: ah! glad to hear you worked it out | 08:58 |
| FredTC | xnv: I seem to be the only one, which makes this even weirder... | 08:59 |
| resmo | ziroday: is in admin group | 08:59 |
| resmo | so | 08:59 |
| xnv | FredTC: Are you sure your card/drivers support it? | 08:59 |
| f3tal3rr0r | thank you to abe3k for helping me thus far\ | 08:59 |
| bullgard4 | xnv: No longer. | 08:59 |
| FredTC | xnv: It's worked fine from Feisty-Hardy | 08:59 |
| lclimber | hello, everyone, lastnighti was trying toupgrademyinstallation of ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, somehowthe installation did not work, andi had torestart my pcbecouseithung, now i can't even start the gdm, isthere a way to upgradeusing apt-get i mean is it safe to use apt-get dist-upgrade? | 08:59 |
| zdux00tv | does the new version of ubunt include SELinux ? | 09:00 |
| zdux00tv | !selinux | 09:00 |
| ubottu | SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 09:00 |
| ziroday | resmo: are you in the polkit group? | 09:00 |
| _2 | mikebeecham i whish i knew. 1) i'm still using dapper drake 6.6 2) i don't like gnome 3) i'm a console user that rarely starts a guy at all... ;/ | 09:00 |

| mikebeecham | ahhh ok | 09:00 |
| stapel | Anyone else have problems with ATI radeon HD 2400 in 8.10? | 09:00 |
| zidane_tr | is it possible that a radeon x600 could work better than a 3650 under linux? | 09:01 |
| firestorm | Hi. Am finding that my machine hangs at 'starting network' on bootup if I have wireless set to DHCP. Anybody else seen that with Intrepid? | 09:01 |

| resmo | ziroday: sure | 09:01 |
| prabu | hello i want to edit the boot menu . any ideas ? | 09:01 |
| Sierra | prabu: Do you mean GRUB? | 09:01 |
| prabu | yes . sierra | 09:01 |
| Sierra | prabu: The one that shows your different operating systems? | 09:01 |
| Sierra | prabu: The file is located at /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:01 |
| DistroJockey | zidane_tr, very possible, depends on the driver | 09:01 |
| Dorobo18jp | anyone have a weather widget or screen let working that can help me get one on my desktop | 09:02 |
| leohartx | juniecho sysresccd is designed for linux ? | 09:02 |
| _2 | !grub > prabu | 09:02 |
| ubottu | prabu, please see my private message | 09:02 |
| lclimber | sorry, typing problems,i'llretype:hello, everyone, last night i was trying to upgrade my installation of ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, somehow the installation did not work, and i had to restart my pc becouse it hung, now i can't even start the gdm, is there a way to upgrade using apt-get i mean is it safe to use apt-get dist-upgrade? | 09:02 |
| prabu | ok i will try tat | 09:02 |
| blunder | I almost told him sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.1st | 09:02 |
| juniecho | leohartx//sysresccd is BASED on linux :) don't worry | 09:02 |
| magnetron | lclimber→ use "sudo do-release-upgrade" instead, you can run it from the terminal | 09:02 |
| blunder | but not everyone uses vi | 09:02 |
| zidane_tr | kk thx DistroJockey | 09:02 |
| blunder | :( | 09:02 |
| DistroJockey | zidane_tr, np | 09:03 |
| ktemkin | Does anyone know how to configure keyboard layouts in the new HAL system? | 09:03 |
| lclimber | magnetron, i tried that but it says thereare no releases available | 09:03 |
| _2 | blunder no? ah yes. some use vim now days :))) | 09:03 |
| magnetron | lclimber→ that means the upgrade finished | 09:03 |
| definitely | <DistroJockey> It is a stupid bug. Nvidia guy said it is Totem problem or gstreamer.. Everyone said that the same with all players. Strange, is it bad if i set video output: X11 ? | 09:03 |
| leohartx | thankyou juniecho , im downloading it, hope it will work :) | 09:03 |
| ktemkin | I've tried using the XML in the fdi policy folder... it doesn't seem to be fixing my problem. | 09:03 |
| blunder | well vim/vi I love it | 09:03 |
| Sierra | If they're in GNOME or something wouldn't it be easier to tell them to access via something like gedit? | 09:03 |
| magnetron | definitely→ it'll be stupidly slow | 09:04 |
| juniecho | vi/vim is way too hard for linux n00bs like ME, gedit rocks | 09:04 |
| leohartx | 123 leohartx | 09:04 |
| zdux00tv | does anyone know if the new version of ubuntu uses SELinux ? | 09:04 |
| lclimber | it should, but my packages are not in last version, i mean i can upgrade them manually but i get conflicts | 09:04 |
| blunder | that is what I thought | 09:04 |
| definitely | magnetron: So by that stupid Nvidia i should stop watching videos ? | 09:04 |
| definitely | ..... | 09:04 |
| blunder | but learn vi if you can its POWERFUL | 09:04 |
| definitely | There wasn't any normal workaround | 09:04 |
| magnetron | definitely→ if you set it to X11, it'll be very slow. that's all i'm saying | 09:05 |
| osfameron | juniecho: gedit is quite simple to use. Doesn't really do anything very much though :-) vim isn't /that/ hard to use - try 'vimtutor' from command line or :help tutor from within vim. Once you've worked through the tutorial you'll have an idea about what it can do, and it's not /all/ that scary. | 09:05 |
| DistroJockey | definitely, not familiar with the issue, but X11 is the main display framework | 09:05 |
| NeoBoY | hi | 09:05 |
| lclimber | juniecho, try nano | 09:05 |
| NeoBoY | salut | 09:05 |
| CROSSWINDS | anyone else finding.. ubuntu 8.10 kick arse as I do? | 09:05 |
| xnv | CROSSWINDS: No, I think it sucks already. HORRIBLE QA | 09:06 |
| Adam_ | when I SSH in, why do I have less permissions? | 09:06 |
| CROSSWINDS | with some tweaks, i got it to 21 secsfrom poweron to desktop | 09:06 |
| prabu | i cant open the boot menu . i dont know why :( | 09:06 |
| tfo | hi all | 09:06 |

| tfo | when I wanna boot ubuntu 8.10 SYSTEM HALTED! | 09:07 |
| CROSSWINDS | sorry to hear that, i just use it as a stand alone desktop | 09:07 |
| DistroJockey | definitely, the reason I responded to your initial query was because I saw someone else with a similar query. (Which pointed to a bug, which led me to Google it) :) | 09:07 |
| prabu | i typed sudo vi /boot/ grub/ menu.1st | 09:07 |
| _2 | Adam_ privledge seperation in sshd_config #Privilege Separation is turned on for security | 09:07 |
| xnv | CROSSWINDS: Even as that I've seen several problems in the GUI. Lots of artifacts. | 09:07 |

| CROSSWINDS | 8.10 didnt have to force anything | 09:08 |
| prabu | but its not opening | 09:08 |
| zdux00tv | I am going to assume selinux is included and blog to my communtity that they should avoid it as such, tfn | 09:08 |
| blunder | tfo, did you test the cdrom? | 09:08 |
| CROSSWINDS | artifacts? been a while sinceive seen them | 09:08 |
| tfo | MD5? | 09:08 |
| obama | Thanks for that. Unfortunately, however, the screensaver only shows in the 3d cube, not the whole background despite my attempts to do everything to make it work. | 09:08 |
| tfo | blunder, MD5? | 09:08 |
| blunder | well I believe there is a menu item that lets you | 09:08 |
| _2 | prabu you can't edit /boot/ and you most likely don't have a grub/ or a menu.lst in your home. | 09:08 |
| DistroJockey | definitely, the 177 driver is pretty buggy on my NVS Quadro at work, but works fine on my 8600 here | 09:08 |
| blunder | select test cdrom media | 09:08 |
| tfo | ya | 09:09 |
| CROSSWINDS | used to be compiz junkie,but i have it set up only to show off to people that think flip3d is cool | 09:09 |

| CROSSWINDS | turned it offcompletely | 09:09 |
| tfo | but when I select it SYSTEM HALTED! | 09:09 |
| definitely | DistroJockey: Dunno just bought new pc, i thinked it will be ok for linux, but no, Nvidia is trying to kill me ;] | 09:09 |
| sken | hello ubu guys | 09:09 |
| prabu | can u type tat again please | 09:09 |
| blunder | tfo you might need to use boot switches or somthing | 09:09 |

| ray_ | hello everyone | 09:10 |
| Sierra | definitely: I'm using an nVidia 9600GT on a Live session using drivers from nVidia.com what drivers are you using? | 09:11 |
| DistroJockey | definitely, They don't seem to be very quick with good drivers for new or non-mainstream cards | 09:11 |
| definitely | Sierra: 177 | 09:11 |
| CROSSWINDS | i thought nvidia drivers were the best,thought it was ATI that always had people pulling their hair out when it comes tolinux | 09:11 |
| molgrum | i upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and now when i play music in amarok or audacious, my rear speakers are silent. i have sound blaster live and the music players are using ALSA as output | 09:11 |
| tfo | blunder, isn't it MD5 error? | 09:11 |
| definitely | CROSSWINDS: YOu was wrong, Nvidia is giving they sources to MicroSux only.. | 09:11 |
| DistroJockey | CROSSWINDS, things have swapped around in the last 6 months or so :) | 09:11 |
| CROSSWINDS | damn i regreted having an ati hd 2400 pcie | 09:12 |
| CROSSWINDS | guess i can take those thoughts back lol | 09:12 |
| DistroJockey | heh | 09:12 |

| * definitely next time will look around ATI. | 09:12 | |
| obama | crosswinds, how do i find what version of ubuntu is on my desktop, please? | 09:12 |
| blunder | tfo, you can md5 the cdrom using some cdrom software but I have never done that on anything but unix | 09:12 |
| CROSSWINDS | just open up a term and type uname -a | 09:12 |
| blunder | so for me it was using dd | 09:13 |
| CROSSWINDS | if the kernel is 2.6.24-x | 09:13 |

| Fondor1 | Hi all, question about a Logitech QuickCam STX in Intrepid. I found this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918 detailing the issue, and Visko (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918/comments/33) was able to provide an apparent fix for me. Unfortunately, I don't know how to run this fix when I run Skype through the apps menu, only through the command line. | 09:19 |
| DistroJockey | definitely, or is it? | 09:19 |
| definitely | DistroJockey: it is something with gconf anyway, will find | 09:19 |
| Bodsda | prabu, do you mean grub? | 09:19 |
| definitely | :) | 09:19 |
| francis__ | how can I manage a ipod touch on ubuntu? There is a programe for manage it? | 09:19 |
| prabu | yes | 09:19 |
| Sierra | sken: I didn't mean that literally, it's possible that GoogleEarth didn't actually create a menu item | 09:19 |
| blunder | tfo can you just redownload the iso from maybe a different mirror? | 09:19 |
| DistroJockey | definitely, *nods* np :) | 09:20 |
| blunder | and then burn that on a new cdrom | 09:20 |
| Sierra | prabu: Did you manage to open the menu.lst file? | 09:20 |
| Bodsda | prabu, you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:20 |
| Varka | how to boot into singleuser no-network runlevel? | 09:20 |
| sken | and what can i do? | 09:20 |
| sken | why? it wasn't created? | 09:20 |
| prabu | no . i typed that on terminal but its not coming | 09:20 |
| Bodsda | prabu, what exactly did you type? | 09:21 |
| prabu | ok . will try that | 09:21 |
| Sierra | sken: Maybe because it was programmed to create one by Google. Find out how to open the program from terminal/console and create your own menu item | 09:21 |
| Sierra | wasn't* | 09:21 |
| definitely | DistroJockey: gconf-editor :) | 09:21 |
| _2 | Varka not sure there is a "no-network" runlevel. but append the keyword "single" to the kernel line in grub should already be a listing for "safe recovery" mode. | 09:21 |
| DistroJockey | definitely, :) | 09:22 |
| DigitalFiz | i have my power management set to never but my monitor still turns off why is this? | 09:22 |
| Varka | _2: thats the problem, recoverymode / single includes networking but my networkconfiguration causes a hang at boottime | 09:22 |
| Slart | DigitalFiz: might be a setting for your monitor, in hardware | 09:22 |
| maddox | anyone know how to enable wireless in 8.10? | 09:22 |
| sken | how can i open it? by the console? | 09:22 |
| === Quadrescence is now known as proprietartrulez | ||
| Slart | DigitalFiz: or from the BIOS | 09:23 |
| _2 | Varka i'm thinking that ubuntu starts up the network stuff in rcS.d/ which means there isn't a no-networking runlevel at all. | 09:23 |
| Bodsda | maddox, its enabled by default (i think) | 09:23 |
| Fondor1 | Anything about the webcam issue? | 09:23 |
| Sierra | maddox: Is it a fresh install or an upgrade? Try check near your clock for the networking item and click it | 09:23 |
| maddox | mine is "disabled" | 09:23 |
| maddox | fresh install | 09:23 |
| DigitalFiz | Slart, nah it never did it in windows its something in ubuntu and it didnt start till 8.10RC i think | 09:23 |
| _2 | Varka may require so special work-around | 09:23 |
| Sierra | I know my Network Manager was completely removed when I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 | 09:23 |
| Bodsda | maddox, right click on the icon and there should be a tick box, if there isnt then your wifi card may not be recognized | 09:23 |
| === proprietartrulez is now known as Quadrescence | ||
| _2 | Varka "does ya has" a live CD to work from ? | 09:24 |
| === sumedh is now known as Sindbad | ||
| maddox | it recognizes my wireless card, but there is no tick box. it says "wireless disabled" | 09:24 |

| paul___ | Hello, I am trying to copy a file into a folder but it says i dont have the permission to, is it possible to do this using sudo and a command in the terminal? | 09:24 |
| sken | sieraa? | 09:24 |
| _2 | Varka ouch. | 09:24 |
| Sierra | maddox: If it's a laptop make sure the switch on the outside is turned "on" when you start Ubuntu | 09:24 |
| Slart | DigitalFiz: hmm.. sounds like an ubuntu problem alright.. a bit hard to diagnose why it's acting that way though | 09:24 |
| _2 | Varka well you can boot with init=/bin/bash and work from a shell if you know what you are doing. | 09:25 |
| prabu | sierra . it says error: no write permission for file " boot/grub/menu.lst" | 09:25 |
| maddox | what switch on the outside? | 09:25 |
| DistroJockey | sken, what package did you install? | 09:25 |
| obama | can anybody help me with installing matrix screensaver in the background? i'd appreciate it | 09:25 |
| Varka | _2: hm, just put init=/bin/bash as a bootparameter into grubconfiguration you mean? | 09:25 |
| wers | how do I get the new wallpapers of gnome's latest release? see http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/ | 09:25 |

| DigitalFiz | Slart, oh well its 4am here and i havent been to bed yet was hoping for a quick answer ill figure it out tomorrow ty | 09:26 |
| alanbshepard77 | Why can't I burn DVDs with Ubuntu? I've tried to burn DVDs using ubuntu since Feisty and it's never worked. I would blame my computer but I tried it with many other computers that belonged to friends and family and it still didn't work. Now I'm using a sony laptop, with a sony drive and sony dvds and i still can't get it to work. How can I fix this? Everything works fine under windows. | 09:26 |
| Sierra | prabu: Ahh sorry, you need to run your text edit as "root". Go into terminal and type the following in (without quotes) "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 09:26 |
| HendriXXX | hoh | 09:26 |
| sken | will it be updated? | 09:26 |
| maddox | the wireless card is in the machine, the machine sees it, the card has two lights on it and they are both flashing | 09:26 |
| rodolfo_ | guys, right now I'm running U8.10. There is nothing about my video card in the xorg.conf file. what should I do? | 09:26 |
| prabu | ok | 09:26 |
| _2 | Varka note. that will prevent any of the local init scripts from running, but it wont prevent the stuff in the initramfs.img from running. you'll have to find out if that's the cause or the script are. | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | Sierra gksudo for graohical apps :) | 09:26 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: that's normal | 09:26 |
| DistroJockey | sken, there is no package called Googleearth. There is a package called googleearth-package though | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | graphical* | 09:26 |
| PriceChild | wers: find them and save them somewhere, then rigbht click your desktop and choose the obious choice | 09:27 |
| Sierra | Damn it, sorry | 09:27 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: x.org does things automatically now. Well, if it can. | 09:27 |
| _2 | Varka yes on the kernel line in the grub menu. | 09:27 |
| DistroJockey | sken, is that the one you mean? | 09:27 |
| sken | yup sorry | 09:27 |
| === RandomCake_ is now known as RandomCake | ||
| Varka | _2: i know the cause, its the /etc/network/interfaces, its misconfigured | 09:27 |
| wers | PriceChild, isnt there a package for it? | 09:27 |
| wers | i think, it should be in the repos | 09:27 |
| PriceChild | wers: I don't believe so. | 09:27 |
| rodolfo_ | SlimeyPete so why Xorg.conf file tells me nothing about which driver I'm using? | 09:27 |
| Sierra | Bodsa, I always find gksudo to actually act like su instead of sudo unless you manually specify | 09:27 |
| tfo | blunder, sorry I was testing it on another PC | 09:27 |
| maddox | so there's no way to enable wireless then? | 09:28 |
| blunder | any luck | 09:28 |
| PriceChild | wers: there might be, but it was probably heavily edited for ubunu. | 09:28 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: because it detects the card and automatically loads the driver. xorg.conf is no longer required for most systems. | 09:28 |
| tfo | you are right it seems that I have to do it and redownload ISO | 09:28 |
| tfo | thanks mate | 09:28 |
| blunder | tfo no problem | 09:28 |
| DistroJockey | sken, that doens't make a shortcut as it's just the installer/configuration tool | 09:28 |
| prabu | sierra , it says " [sudo] password for prabakaran: | 09:28 |
| prabu | " | 09:28 |
| rodolfo_ | SlimeyPete I see. And where can I get some output from X.org then...? | 09:28 |
| tfo | same error CRC error system halted | 09:28 |
| blunder | sorry about the coaster | 09:28 |
| tfo | no problem ;) | 09:28 |
| Bodsda | Sierra, dunno, i just use gksudo for graphical apps cause its recommended, i didnt think there was a difference in how they work just how the environment is set up | 09:28 |
| blunder | heh | 09:28 |
| tfo | I'll redownload it | 09:28 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: /var/log/xorg.log.0 I think | 09:29 |
| === root is now known as Guest44808 | ||
| SlimeyPete | or soemthing like that | 09:29 |
| blunder | good idea | 09:29 |
| PriceChild | !gksudo | Sierra Bodsda | 09:29 |
| tfo | hey do you know why ubuntu ship it doesn't work? | 09:29 |
| ubottu | Sierra Bodsda: 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) | 09:29 |
| Sierra | prabu: Sorry I made a mistake, but you should be able to just type in your password for that user and press enter | 09:29 |
| sken | so what can i do distrokockey? | 09:29 |
| Varka | _2: ill try your advices, brb | 09:29 |
| christian | !es | 09:29 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 09:29 |
| blunder | tfo I though it still did | 09:29 |
| _2 | Varka that should be easy to fix then. boot with init=/bin/bash you'll have to remount the rootfs in read/write mode. mount -no remount,rw / and do what needs done. then be sure to mount -no remount,ro / before you salute it. | 09:29 |

| PriceChild | maddox: please type lspci and lsusb into a termina,l, and pastebin the output. | 09:30 |
| DistroJockey | sken, as you can see the description and lack of instructions is not helpful | 09:30 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: you have no /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 09:31 |
| Schalken | Can I safely rm -rf /tmp/* ? | 09:31 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: look for similar files, it may have changed in intrepid | 09:31 |
| maddox | can't paste anything, it's my laptop and I am on my desktop | 09:31 |
| Sierra | Heh, according to that link it's just good habit. I don't think running gedit under sudo is going to cause that many problems, I've done it dozens of times for the same purpose prabu is using it for but I'll ensure to specify it in future | 09:31 |
| rodolfo_ | SlimeyPete, hold up | 09:31 |
| joaopinto | Schalken, it is not recommended, there maybe running applications using file on it | 09:31 |
| sken | can anybody help me? | 09:31 |
| maddox | but it looks like the whole thing is screwed. my keyboard is all messed up now too | 09:31 |
| PriceChild | Schalken: that folder gets cleared every other reboot I believe, I wouldn't recommend it as it is probably in use. | 09:31 |
| joaopinto | Schalken, only old files should be deleted | 09:31 |
| sken | or can i uninstall the program | 09:31 |
| DistroJockey | sken, I guess this is the way to go: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth#Installation | 09:31 |
| PriceChild | maddox: it would be really useful so that we can tell exactly what hardware you have. | 09:31 |
| fallore | I'm having sound issues. Sound in general will not work and when I try to play something in Rhythmbox it tells me "Couldn't stop playback | Unknown playback error."

| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 09:34 |
| Rhengal | In Ubuntu 8.04 and the session manager I had 3 tabs "Startup"+"Current"+"Options" - Now in 8.10 I only got "Startup" + "Options" and the option to remember running programs from session to session does not appear to work, is there something wrong with my install somehow and a way to fix this? | 09:34 |

| unitedpotsmokers | hello.. now i already finish download interpid, and i burned it to cd, how to upgrade from hardy to interpid using this cd?> | 09:35 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: not quite "useless". If you specify something in xorg.conf then it will override the automatic configuration. | 09:35 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: but you don't *need* an xorg.conf any more if X seems to be working okay. | 09:35 |
| PriceChild | unitedpotsmokers: which disc did you burn? | 09:36 |
| Sierra | unitedpotsmokers, is it the "desktop" or "alternative"? | 09:36 |

| Sierra | prabu: Careful what you play around with in menu.lst, save a backup | 09:36 |
| Bodsda | fallore, ok, do you know which one is your sound card? | 09:36 |

| ActionParsnip | ronin13: you should have a backup anyway | 09:38 |
| Bodsda | ronin13, not really but to be safe yes | 09:38 |
| ljuwaidah | can i find it here http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu ? | 09:38 |

| rodolfo_ | SlimeyPete, I want my app icons to be at my desktop. So I have drag and dropped 'em there and it's OK. But I want those icons to be smaller, without resizing each one. I mean I want to specify the minimum size for all icons. is that possible? | 09:38 |
| jrib | ronin13: regardless of what comes before the question "do i need to back-up my data?", the answer is always you need to back up any data you care about | 09:38 |
| Sierra | when in doubt, try the live session first | 09:38 |
| Bodsda | wow, lots of different views on backups here | 09:38 |
| Slack | anyone know how i can update my video card drivers, (nvidia) | 09:38 |
| maddox | I will give it a shot | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ronin13: no backup == data is not precious and disposable | 09:39 |
| Sierra | Slack: What video card? | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: +1 there dude | 09:39 |
| Slack | Sierra: not sure whats the cmd to check that | 09:39 |
| SlimeyPete | rodolfo_: I think so, but I don't know how (I don't use desktop icons). Perhaps someone else here will know. | 09:39 |

It's good practice for the questions to include all relevant info - they may or may not know what is relevant or not in advance.

| Boohbah | b33r: if you are booting from usb then you aren't booting from HD are you? | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | pthagonal1: its an extra 15% RAM | 09:54 |
| jrib | francis__: what version are you running? | 09:54 |
| jim_p | francis__: gtkpod or some amarok script | 09:54 |
| Sierra | Fondor1: Could you add a comment to that bug about your results? | 09:54 |
| maddox | so there's no way to enable wireless then? | 09:54 |
| === francis__ is now known as frenzis | ||
| Fondor1 | Absolutely. | 09:54 |
| b33r | Bogaurd, I tried from USB and HD when I try from USB it gives me boot error | 09:54 |
| b33r | Boohbah* | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | maddox: get on a wired connection til you get on youor feet | 09:54 |
| pthagonal1 | jimp: sure, might go with server. Yeah, I run servers- mostly centos atm, but starting to explore ubuntu as well | 09:54 |
| ay^ | francis__: there is a prgram called gtkpod, don't know if it handles touches yet tho | 09:54 |
| frenzis | jrib, the firmware is 2.0.1 | 09:54 |
| je_lole_si_je_ve | Hi there. I have a mackbook and Ubuntu 8.10 :) can anybody help me configure one-finger tap mousepad ? thx | 09:55 |
| DexTroR | hello? | 09:55 |
| maddox | I don't see the point in using a wired connection for my laptop. I am trying to enable the wireless so I don't have to use a wired connection. | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | je_lole_si_je_ve: which macbook model is it? | 09:55 |
| krish | while installing ubuntu server iam nt able to write the partitions to the disk | 09:55 |
| noob-africa | ActionParsnip: I am going to pastebin the results I got after running sudo apt-get install libglib1.2 | 09:56 |
| bazhang | maddox, what chipset | 09:56 |
| co88dy | Is there a way to restore ubuntu to the state right after it was installed? | 09:56 |
| jrib | frenzis: I believe the hashing algorithm for iTunesDB in firmware >2 has yet to be broken, so you won't be able to sync even if you jailbreak. You can still jailbreak and ssh into it if you want though | 09:56 |
| je_lole_si_je_ve | hi ActionParsnip it's a fairly new one (bought it new in July 2008) | 09:56 |
| maddox | atheros | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | je_lole_si_je_ve: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook | 09:56 |
| Boohbah | co88dy: reinstall it | 09:56 |
| bazhang | maddox, which notebook | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | je_lole_si_je_ve: a model would be useful, that may help | 09:56 |
| co88dy | thats what I thought | 09:56 |
| Sierra | maddox: I know this doesn't help but I've had lots of problems with Dlink wireless and linux in general. I'm assuming it's not integrated into your laptop. Does your laptop have integrated wireless? | 09:56 |
| Sierra | wireless with linux* | 09:56 |
| frenzis | I'd just jailbreakked the ipod touch | 09:56 |
| woody86 | <woody86> Can anyone help me out? I used to be able to connect fine in Gnome, but after I installed KDE, I can't connect to my n | 09:56 |
| Boohbah | co88dy: after the next reinstall you can take a backup image of your install and store it | 09:56 |
| PriceChild | maddox: did you manage to install that package? | 09:56 |
| maddox | yes, it has integrated wireless, but that doesn't work either | 09:56 |
| co88dy | MAddox what is your exact chipset? | 09:57 |
| maddox | yes, I installed the package. no change | 09:57 |
| co88dy | sorry just got in | 09:57 |
| maddox | atheros ar2413 | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | maddox: have you tried ndiswrapper? | 09:57 |
| maddox | no | 09:57 |
| paul68 | maddox: check this http://hamzakc.wordpress.com/2006/12/11/atheros-wireless-setup-ubuntu/ | 09:57 |
| Sierra | ActionParsnip: ndiswrapper crashes with dlink drivers | 09:57 |
| je_lole_si_je_ve | the problem ActionParsnip is just with one-finger tap... I did configure a file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy... everything works great, but the one-finger tap :| | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | maddox: go for it dude | 09:57 |
| bazhang | !info ndisgtk | 09:58 |
| co88dy | maddox - I have an atheros chipset I am running on wireless right now had to use NDSWRAPPER | 09:58 |
| ubottu | ndisgtk (source: ndisgtk): graphical frontend for ndiswrapper (installation of Windows WiFi drivers). In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.4-1 (intrepid), package size 21 kB, installed size 440 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) | 09:58 |
| paul68 | ActionParsnip: its madwifi he needs | 09:58 |
| jrib | frenzis: I suppose you always have the option of running windows in a virtual machine and syncing with itunes there | 09:58 |
| noob-africa | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m798e0324 | 09:58 |
| ljuwaidah | back | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | je_lole_si_je_ve: if you can give me which model macbook it is i can webseacrh better | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | maddox: can you get a wired connection | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | maddox: just til you get sorted? | 09:58 |
| ljuwaidah | where do i find packages of alsa plugins? | 09:58 |
| cagara | hey i just installed ubuntu studio but I am missing the kernel sources ... how can i get them with aptitude | 09:58 |
| maddox | *sigh* used ndiswrapper before and it's a pain in the rear. I wish they'd just start supporting wireless out of the box. this is ridiculous. | 09:59 |
| andreaja_ | hello, after upgrading to intrepid my emacs-snapshot-gtk fonts are way too big, what caused this change and how do I fix it? | 09:59 |
| bazhang | maddox, which notebook | 09:59 |
| maddox | notebook doesn't matter | 09:59 |
| maddox | it's an external card | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | maddox: there are too many variants, the drivers would be massive | 09:59 |
| maddox | well, then linux is never going to be viable then | 09:59 |
| frenzis | jrib...I still considerate the ipothesis valide to use wine and itunes | 09:59 |
| PriceChild | maddox: all reports I'm reading say that the card is detected, just problems with wpa. You're the first I've seen where it isn't deteected at all. | 09:59 |
| * coastermaster is tempted to go install Ubuntu on his Macbook | 09:59 | |
| _2 | ActionParsnip the kernel already is massive | 10:00 |
| reqqit | andreaja_, (font . "-*-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-22-normal-r-*-*-22-42-*-*-c-*-*-#204-") | 10:00 |
| maddox | the card is detected | 10:00 |
| bazhang | maddox, usb or pcmcia | 10:00 |
| paul68 | maddox: use the link I send you earlier | 10:00 |
| maddox | pcmcia | 10:00 |
| reqqit | That is what I have, you can set it to a different point size in your .emacs | 10:00 |
| PriceChild | maddox: I thought you said it wasn't in iwconfig or ifconfig? | 10:00 |
| je_lole_si_je_ve | I guess it's a macbook core 2 duo 13'' (white) ActionParsnip :) | 10:00 |
| ljuwaidah | ok, forget about the alsa plugins for now, how do i configure the desktop effects? | 10:00 |
| maddox | no, I said it was | 10:00 |
| Tulimaq | maddox, its back to windows for u then ,,, | 10:00 |
| bazhang | maddox, are you hot-plugging or starting up with it in | 10:00 |
| andreaja_ | reqqit: that fails, font isn't a function? | 10:00 |
| maddox | starting with it in | 10:00 |
| PriceChild | maddox: but i said earlier "if it isn't, try installing this package"... *sighs* | 10:00 |
| maddox | windows is for retards | 10:00 |
| PriceChild | maddox: language please | 10:00 |
| co88dy | maddox: have you tried madwifi? | 10:01 |
| maddox | windows is for plebes then | 10:01 |
| maddox | not yet | 10:01 |
| paul68 | maddox: you need to install madwifi for this card | 10:01 |
| jrib | frenzis: sure you can try that too. Check appdb.winehq.org to see how well itunes works | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | _2: the drivers for the array of atheros, intel, broadcom would be huge, the kernel size for what it provides is very small | 10:01 |
| paul68 | !madwifi |maddox | 10:01 |
| ubottu | maddox: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:01 |
| backlash | if i upgrade to 8.10, does that mean i gotta download OO.o 3 and install it again? | 10:01 |
| bazhang | that card definitely works in ubuntu | 10:01 |
| frenzis | jrib: just done | 10:01 |
| jrib | frenzis: it works ok? | 10:01 |
| SlimeyPete | bazhang: shouldn't think so | 10:01 |
| Boohbah | backlash: you shouldn't lose any packages | 10:01 |
| Fondor1 | Question about a Logitech QuickCam STX in Intrepid. I found this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918 detailing the issue, and Visko (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918/comments/33) was able to provide an apparent fix for me. Unfortunately, I don't know how to run this fix when I run Skype through the apps menu, only through the command line. Any idea how I can apply this to the m | 10:02 |
| frenzis | on 8.10 itunes version 8.0 is silver | 10:02 |
| _2 | ActionParsnip kernel is 80m installed. and it's almost all drivers. | 10:02 |
| SlimeyPete | bazhang: as long as the OO package you used doesn't conflict with any of the intrepid packages | 10:02 |
| reqqit | andreaja_, yeah, it needs to by inside the other hell of LISP madness. | 10:02 |
| PriceChild | bazhang: there seem to be issues with atheros though, see planet. | 10:02 |
| bazhang | SlimeyPete, you got me confused with someone else | 10:02 |
| andreaja_ | reqqit: thanks, that tells me nothing :) | 10:02 |
| reqqit | look for (setq default-frame-alist | 10:02 |
| reqqit | or look for font in your .emacs | 10:02 |
| fifi | fuck, i've thought it about barby-girl channel... fuck, what R U duin' guys here? | 10:02 |
| bazhang | PriceChild, right, thanks | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | maddox: windows has its place | 10:02 |
| Simon__ | Hi all can someone tell me how i can move things from one account to another on Ubuntu? | 10:03 |

| bazhang | reqqit, use paste.ubuntu.com | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon__: sudo cp it across, you may need to chown or chmod to grant access | 10:03 |
| sabel4th | After upgrading to 8.10, my Netgear WG311T wireless card stops working, and I can't seem to find network config on that desktop. | 10:03 |
| andreaja_ | that said, I'd really rather not use elisp to set this | 10:03 |
| sabel4th | It uses Madwifi, for reference. | 10:03 |
| andreaja_ | since I haven't changed my emacs config, it looks to me like it's an x/gtk thing | 10:03 |
| SlimeyPete | sabel4th: I had to reboot once more before my networking would work | 10:04 |
| SlimeyPete | which is... odd | 10:04 |
| reqqit | andreaja_, you have used emacs right? | 10:04 |
| Simon__ | Ok thanks ActionParsnip :) | 10:04 |
| PriceChild | reqqit: they couldn't read you before | 10:04 |
| maddox | yeah, windows has it's place. and that place is on the desktops of people who don't care about performance or efficiency. | 10:04 |
| noob-africa | ActionParsnip: were you able to make sense of it? | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | cagara: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 10:04 |

| Simon__ | How to change nickname? | 10:04 |
| qiyou | how are you | 10:04 |
| sabel4th | Does the same apply for the new set of Nvidia drivers it installed (stupid loss of 3d acceleration, not that I was using it.)? | 10:04 |

| bazhang | Simon__, /nick newnickname | 10:05 |

| chovy_ | thanks | 10:07 |
| htrejh | hi | 10:07 |
| ikonia | shad0w0fsin in what way harder | 10:07 |
| DJ | can i update from 8.04 to 8.10rc ??????? | 10:07 |
| htrejh | someone knows where i can find wine 1.1.7 deb package? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | DJ: stable is better | 10:07 |
| bazhang | dj to final yes | 10:07 |
| jrib | DJ: you can update from 8.04 to 8.10 | 10:07 |
| shad0w0fsin | ikonia: i had to edit /etc/network/interfaces | 10:07 |
| jrib | !upgrading > DJ | 10:07 |
| ubottu | DJ, please see my private message | 10:07 |
| ikonia | shad0w0fsin: how is that harder than 8.04 ? | 10:07 |
| taomaster | hello 2 all - i have the rc that i installed the other day,should i just do the updaye or i install a fresh copy? | 10:07 |
| gabbler | hi can anyone help me with an xorg.conf problem please | 10:07 |
| Simon1245 | Can someone tell me how to move files from a account to another? | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | taomaster: id try an upgrade, if its no good, clean install | 10:07 |
| bazhang | taomaster, either way, update/upgrade is easier | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: what files | 10:08 |
| _2 | shad0w0fsin ? gksudo editor /etc/network/interfaces harder ? | 10:08 |
| taomaster | ok thanks | 10:08 |
| Simon1245 | I have files i want to move to another account | 10:08 |
| jrib | shad0w0fsin: why? just use system -> preferences -> network configuration | 10:08 |
| Simon1245 | It's a Directory | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: from where to where | 10:08 |
| Simon1245 | From simon1245 To simon account | 10:08 |
| qiyou | 呵呵 | 10:08 |
| bazhang | qiyou, not here | 10:08 |
| Simon1245 | On the same computer | 10:08 |
| bazhang | qiyou, use english, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: ok so copy or "move" them from the ghome directory of simon1245 to the home diretory of simon | 10:08 |
| nayfly | can anybody suggest a hard drive mounting GUI for ubuntu? | 10:09 |
| nayfly | preferably which allows auto-mount | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: then change the permissions so the owner is simon, not simon1245 | 10:09 |
| shad0w0fsin | oh nvm I didn't explore the network configuration gui enough, seems like its not harder | 10:09 |
| Simon1245 | How? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: open nautlius, - its the file manager and move them like you would in windows explorer | 10:09 |
| Simon1245 | Do i need to download it? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Simon1245 no, it's the file manager in ubuntu | 10:09 |
| shad0w0fsin | I still had to edit /etc/resolve.conf to get my internet working though (didn't need to in hardy) | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nayfly: if its an internal drive it will automount | 10:10 |
| Simon1245 | Ok | 10:10 |
| _2 | Simon1245 sudo cp -a /path1 /path2 /target ;sudo chown -R username /target | 10:10 |
| jim_p | has anyone used auto-apt and got it to work? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: nautilus, it's the core product of the gnome desktop | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nayfly: you can add lines to /etc/fstab and it will automount at boot | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | nayfly | 10:10 |
| ubottu | nayfly: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 10:10 |
| Simon1245 | Ok | 10:10 |
| chovy_ | is a debian package the best way to deploy a development environment? (for example, our devs need pkg-a, b, c, etc...). | 10:10 |
| Simon1245 | I will try to find it | 10:10 |
| nayfly | thanks guys! | 10:10 |
| ikonia | chovy_ the packages are in the repo's so apt-get or the package manager is the best way to deploy packages | 10:10 |
| Sierra | What was the command again to list your audio devices? | 10:11 |
| Sierra | Starts with an "L" i think | 10:11 |
| jim_p | Sierra: lspci | grep Audio | 10:11 |
| chovy_ | ikonia: yeah. i want it really simple to get a new hire onboard: apt-get install our-stuff | 10:11 |
| Simon1245 | Ikonia i can't find it | 10:11 |
| _2 | Sierra cat /proc/asound/cards | 10:11 |
| Sierra | jim_p: Yup thank you | 10:11 |
| kholerabbi | I tried burning the 8.10 cd image to a dvd - which seemed to work, but the livecd didn't get to the login screen... I checked the disk for faults.. which it has....... would this have been because of the cd image to a dvd... or something else?? | 10:11 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: open it fromt he places menu | 10:12 |
| Sierra | _2: lspci was what I needed, but thank you | 10:12 |
| _2 | Sierra or aplay -l | 10:12 |
| ikonia | Simon1245: just click on a hardisk/mount point it will open nautilus | 10:12 |
| bazhang | kholerabbi, md5 the iso and do disk integrity check after burning very slow | 10:12 |
| bazhang | !md5 | kholerabbi | 10:12 |
| ubottu | kholerabbi: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 10:12 |
| Simon1245 | Ok | 10:12 |
| ktemkin | Hey, has anyone else had trouble with the volume monitor in the new gnome-applets? | 10:12 |
| andreaja_ | reqqit: using .Xresources and 'Emacs.font: Monospace-8' sorted me | 10:12 |
| Sierra | ktemkin: Has it anything to do with muting? | 10:13 |
| maddox | ok, so I installed madwifi just like that page told me to. now, how do I enable wireless? | 10:13 |
| ktemkin | No, muting seems to work fine. | 10:13 |
| ktemkin | Mine seems to be keyboard-related, I think. | 10:13 |
| ktemkin | It's as if I hold down the volume up/down buttons each time I press them, and they're never released... | 10:13 |
| reqqit | andreaja_, Set it to Bitstream Vera Sans mono and have fund | 10:13 |
| reqqit | *fun | 10:13 |
| ktemkin | I have to switch to one of the virtual terminals and back in order to regain control of my keyboard | 10:14 |
| shad0w0fsin | my network manager panel icon disappeared in ibex, anyone have any ideas? | 10:14 |
| kholerabbi | yeah... I'll thanks bazhang I'll give it a go... I downloaded using a torrent though, which should have checked it... I'll do the md5 anyway. And definitely go for slowest burning next time | 10:14 |
| ktemkin | it only seems to happen with the X86VolumeUp/X86VolumeDown keyboard assignments | 10:14 |
| Sierra | shad0w0fsin: I had the same problem did you just upgrade? | 10:14 |
| definitely | stop using my nick :DD | 10:14 |
| b33r | can I burn an ubuntu cd image on a dvd instead of a cd? | 10:14 |
| bazhang | b33r, sure | 10:14 |
| shad0w0fsin | i didn't upgrade, i clean installed but I used my old home partition | 10:14 |
| Simon1245 | Ikonia i pressed Computer-->Filesystem --> Home --> Simon and then i try to move the files i have on simon1245 to simon but it don't work? | 10:14 |
| b33r | k thanks | 10:14 |
| definitely | b33r i am always doing that ;] | 10:14 |
| Simon1245 | What should i do? | 10:15 |
| rconan | Anyone know why my window title bars are very glitchy? They come and go as my mouse moves over them. | 10:15 |
| shad0w0fsin | Sierra: did you manage to fix it? | 10:15 |
| andreaja_ | reqqit: that's pretty ugly, I prefer the default monospace font | 10:15 |
| b33r | I gave up on the usb method not working for me didn't know you can burn on a dvd disc though | 10:15 |
| Sierra | shad0w0fsin: I fixed it by recreating the launcher again and adding it as a startup program in sessiosn, the command is "nm-applet" | 10:15 |
| Ohmu | How can I find out what my usb modem is registered as? I know its /dev/ttyACM0, but whats the command to find that out? | 10:15 |
| maddox | does anyone know how to enable wireless? | 10:15 |
| Sierra | shad0w0fsin: however mine was an upgrade problem | 10:15 |
| shad0w0fsin | ty I'll try that | 10:15 |
| reqqit | andreaja_, Lucida Console? | 10:15 |
| _2 | Ohmu wvdialconf should find it | 10:16 |
| chovy_ | lspci ? | 10:16 |
| andreaja_ | reqqit: too big and doesn't accept font size (from what I can tell) | 10:17 |
| maddox | there's no way to enable wireless then? | 10:17 |
| nayfly | hey, I've just finished installing the latest ATI drivers on my ubuntu box and just after I login, it goes to a grey screen and I can only see my mouse. Is there a way to roll back th changes? Uninstall the drivers? | 10:17 |
| jrib | !wifi > maddox | 10:17 |
| ubottu | maddox, please see my private message | 10:17 |

| jrib | maddox: well your question should have a lot more details then. Like what exactly you tried from there that did not work and how it did not work | 10:18 |
| nayfly | I used Envy to install the drivers.. | 10:18 |
| _2 | nayfly safe vidio mode ? use vesa as your driver ? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | nayfly: thats not the best plan | 10:18 |
| definitely | kholerabbi: Just kidding xD i choosen wrong nick lol :D | 10:18 |
| jynxzero_ | Hi... has anyone done un upgrade from Heron -> Ibex, on a box with LILO+LVM ? | 10:18 |
| bazhang | nayfly, envy or envyng | 10:18 |
| _2 | !envy > nayfly | 10:18 |
| ubottu | nayfly, please see my private message | 10:18 |
| jynxzero_ | I'm a bit scared because past kernel upgrades have left my box unbootable. | 10:18 |
| bazhang | nayfly, which version of ubuntu | 10:18 |
| jynxzero_ | And I can't use GRUB due to a BIOS bug | 10:19 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_: if the update of lilo works you should have no problems | 10:19 |
| MaXXXX | Hi all | 10:19 |
| idimmu | HI MAXXXX | 10:19 |
| maddox | I've tried everything you guys have said. my card is in, there's no switch, the lights on the card are on, Ubuntu sees the card, the card is supported, madwifi is installed. all I need to know is how to enable wireless | 10:19 |
| Sierra | I hate envy, never works properly for me. I found it easier to just install the NVIDIA sh file for myself | 10:19 |
| nayfly | bazhang: the latest | 10:19 |
| ikonia | maddox: what ahve you tried to enable wirless ? | 10:19 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ lilo ? | 10:19 |
| ikonia | !madwifi >ikonia | 10:19 |
| Ohmu | I tried lsusb, but it just shows numbers and lsusb -v shows everything but what I need. | 10:20 |
| ubottu | ikonia, please see my private message | 10:20 |
| bazhang | nayfly, should not need it at this point, which exact card model and number | 10:20 |
| jynxzero_ | ikonia: Sadly, that's not my experience. :( | 10:20 |
| mikebeecham | is there a good remote desktop client in Linux? I used to use Remote desktop in Windows | 10:20 |
| maddox | that's what I am asking. HOW DO YOU ENABLE WIRELESS? | 10:20 |
| jrib | maddox: system -> preferences -> network configuration | 10:20 |
| bazhang | maddox, no need for caps | 10:20 |
| paul68 | !caps | 10:20 |
| nayfly | _2: how do I boot into safe mode? | 10:20 |
| ubottu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 10:20 |
| MaXXXX | I get this error "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)" when installing updates... googled and tried everything... nothing worked :( | 10:20 |
| Sierra | lol, even the bot doesn't like it | 10:20 |
| bazhang | maddox, give us the exact error message you have gotten and what steps you have taken | 10:20 |
| maddox | there is no error message | 10:20 |
| paul68 | ikonia: already explained that he has to install madwifi | 10:20 |
| SlimeyPete | maddox: normally network-manager will pick it up automatically if it's working. | 10:20 |
| maddox | I | 10:20 |
| maddox | installed | 10:21 |
| maddox | madwifi | 10:21 |
| idimmu | what does ifconfig say? | 10:21 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ i have to use lilo here, grub can't boot without a partition. liloworks fine. | 10:21 |
| bazhang | maddox, how many entries in ifconfig | 10:21 |
| _2 | nayfly should be a boot menu option | 10:21 |
| Simon1245 | I tried to change my Mouse sensitve yesterday and now i can't change it back now it's to slow | 10:21 |
| joaopinto | bazhang, pastebin the result of ifconfig -a | 10:21 |
| joaopinto | ops, was for maddox :P | 10:21 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: Did you upgrade from Heron to Ibex? It's just that, I suspect this combo is not well tested. | 10:21 |
| bazhang | joaopinto, not me :) | 10:21 |
| maddox | eth0, eth1, lo, wlano, wmaster0 | 10:21 |
| SlimeyPete | maddox: you on intrepid, or hardy? In hardy (and older) network-manager disables itself if you have entries in /etc/network/interfaces | 10:22 |
| bazhang | maddox, and is the wifi hotspot open or not | 10:22 |
| ay^ | If I want auto swapon at boot, do I need to edit both fstab and mtab or just one of them? | 10:22 |
| maddox | intrepid | 10:22 |
| Nallep | where are media properties stored in gnome? I riht clicked a usb drive and went to change the mount point in Volume-settings to be /mount/backup , but then it said it couldn't have / in it and I can't access the drive now, or get back to the settings. | 10:22 |
| maddox | wifi hotspot is up | 10:22 |
| murlidhar | err how to upgrade using alternate disk ? | 10:22 |
| jrib | ay^: just fstab | 10:22 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ no i didn't upgrade. but lilo should work reguardless of version | 10:22 |
| Kartagis | i try editing a file in gedit | 10:22 |
| bazhang | maddox, not my question | 10:22 |
| ay^ | jrib: thanks | 10:22 |
| maddox | it's open | 10:22 |
| Sierra | murlidhar: Just insert the disc whilst in your windows manager, it should popup asking if you want to upgrade | 10:22 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ you can sudo lilo to test the configurateion. | 10:22 |
| murlidhar | Sierra: it's not asking | 10:22 |
| paul68 | maddox when you click on your network icon do you see the hotspot in your list of choices | 10:22 |
| bazhang | maddox, what does iwconfig show, please paste to paste.ubuntu.com | 10:23 |
| Sierra | murlidhar: Ahh ok, let me get a link for you | 10:23 |
| murlidhar | !upgrade | 10:23 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 10:23 |
| maddox | there is no list of choices because wireless is disabled | 10:23 |
| maddox | I can't paste, it's on my laptop | 10:23 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: Last time I did a kernel upgrade, that claimed to work but left my box totally f*cked. | 10:23 |
| Kartagis | i try editing a file in gedit, when i hit ctrl+s to save it, it displays a line number. what is that line? error line? | 10:23 |
| bazhang | maddox, we need that info | 10:23 |
| MaXXXX | dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 27658 package `fontconfig-config': | 10:23 |
| MaXXXX | value for `conffiles' has malformatted line `/etc' | 10:23 |
| MaXXXX | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) | 10:23 |
| MaXXXX | ... googled and tried everything... nothing worked :( | 10:23 |
| FloodBot3 | MaXXXX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:23 |
| murlidhar | Kartagis: where does it display ? | 10:24 |
| maddox | what info do you want? | 10:24 |
| krish | is it wise to upgrade to ubuntu 8.10? | 10:24 |
| bazhang | maddox, put in an ethernet cable until we get this going | 10:24 |
| favro | Kartagis: which file was it? | 10:24 |
| ikonia | krish: it's the current stable release | 10:24 |
| Lokian | i just made the 8.10 upgrade | 10:24 |
| bazhang | krish, depends on you | 10:24 |
| onexused | I'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. Some packages I don't want removed: ie, xscreensaver, are being removed. This happened when I upgraded to 8.04, too. How can I tell it I definitely want to keep these packages? | 10:24 |
| Lokian | its lovely | 10:24 |
| paul68 | maddox I had the same type of message yesterday when upgrading when I selected the network icon I could see my hotspot | 10:24 |
| Sierra | murlidhar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades | 10:24 |
| maddox | ok, ethernet cable in | 10:24 |
| Kartagis | murlidhar, right below the filename | 10:24 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ one question, did it load the kernel and dump you into a busybox shell? or did it just say Li LI LI Li Li Li ..... | 10:24 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: pastebin that line and about +/-20 lines around it | 10:24 |
| paul68 | just needed to select it and enter my password | 10:24 |
| Kartagis | favro, a PHP file | 10:24 |
| bazhang | maddox, please paste.ubuntu.com the output of iwconfig | 10:24 |
| paul68 | maddox: what do you see in your restricted drivers | 10:25 |
| murlidhar | Kartagis: don't worry it just shows the status | 10:25 |
| paul68 | is the wifi driver in there? | 10:25 |
| murlidhar | Kartagis: shouldn't be an error | 10:25 |
| maddox | well, looks like I am going to have to install a chat program on my laptop to jump through this latest hoop | 10:25 |
| murlidhar | Kartagis: you mean in the file manager it shows filename.extension~ | 10:26 |
| nasser | when I try to eject cd /dvd media in ubuntu 8.10, its closes automatically | 10:26 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ if busybox shell, then that's not a lilo problem. it would have done the same with grub, it's a misconfigured initramfs.img if no kernel loaded. then it's a lilo problem. | 10:26 |
| idimmu | maddox: stick to windows | 10:26 |
| bazhang | idimmu, stop | 10:26 |
| idimmu | :( | 10:26 |
| maddox | thanks for the nasty tone | 10:26 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: It was definitely before the kernel loaded, can't remember if it was the infinite LILILIs. | 10:26 |
| maddox | you're a real ambassador there | 10:27 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: That particular problem was due to the kernel size. | 10:27 |
| Kartagis | murlidhar, no. the filename | 10:27 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: I don't think the same thing will happen again, but my point is... it does screw up without warning sometimes. | 10:27 |
| MaXXXX | @jrib pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/65102/ | 10:27 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: So I'd feel a lot more comfortable if someone said "Yes, I did this upgrade, it worked." | 10:27 |
| murlidhar | Kartagis: it's just a backup file that it creates whenever you save a file | 10:27 |
| === aayoola is now known as murpheus | ||
| paul68 | maddox if so enable it and check your wifi connection again | 10:27 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_ lilo use on ubuntu is rare | 10:27 |
| jrib | murlidhar: I mean the line from your actual /var/lib/dpkg/status | 10:27 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ no. that's still not a lilo problem. the boot loader is not to blame for that. | 10:27 |
| DASPRiD | meh, why did the wonderful card style of freecell solitair change with 8.10 :/ | 10:28 |
| maddox | paul - enable what? | 10:28 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: I'm not concerned who's fault it is. | 10:28 |
| murlidhar | Kartagis: you can have it removed if you want from you gedit | 10:28 |
| murlidhar | jrib: err what ? | 10:28 |
| paul68 | maddox: do you see in your restricted drivers the wifi card | 10:28 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: The effect is the same | 10:28 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_: it is important to understand what is at fault so you don't say "i've got a lilo issue" | 10:28 |
| jrib | murlidhar: ugh, I hate tab keys that don't read my mind. Sorry | 10:28 |
| maddox | yes | 10:28 |
| murlidhar | jrib: :) | 10:28 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: I mean the line from your actual /var/lib/dpkg/status | 10:28 |
| jynxzero_ | ikonia: I don't have a LILO issue. I've had one in the past. | 10:28 |
| paul68 | maddox: at the bottum you can enable that driver | 10:29 |
| jynxzero_ | ikonia: I'm just looking for someone who's tested this and can confirm it worked for them | 10:29 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_: then why mention it in your initial request | 10:29 |
| maddox | it's already enabled | 10:29 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_: tested what ? | 10:29 |
| fallore | i rebooted and got an error saying: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?" Should I delete it? | 10:29 |
| paul68 | maddox: so the color is green behind the card | 10:29 |
| maddox | yes | 10:29 |
| dimitree | oh no ! i installed ubuntu again ! | 10:29 |
| jynxzero_ | ikonia: In the past, I had serious issues doing an upgrade, because the packages did not notice that LILO required extra options for the kernel it installed. | 10:30 |
| paul68 | maddox: when you check your network icon in the taskbar again do you see your wifi hotspot | 10:30 |
| Wobert | dimitree ? xD | 10:30 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_: "I have upgraded and it worked" there you go, I have confirmed it worked | 10:30 |
| dimitree | Just kidding :) | 10:30 |
| maddox | no. because wireless is disabled. | 10:30 |
| maddox | it says "wireless disabled" | 10:30 |
| maddox | that's why I keep asking how to enable it | 10:30 |
| jynxzero_ | ikonia: From Hardy to Intrepid, on a machine with LILO? | 10:30 |
| MaXXXX | @jirb OK... did it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/65104/ | 10:31 |
| Wobert | maddox, click on the icon ? :D | 10:31 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ the kernel packages warn you, that you have to manually run lilo it's not an issue. it's pebcak. | 10:31 |
| maddox | there is no icon to click | 10:31 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_: one of my test machines is a box with lilo to look at booting from lvm /boot partitions | 10:31 |
| paul68 | maddox: you have 2 network icons there right? | 10:31 |
| paul68 | maddox: at least I have | 10:31 |
| jynxzero_ | _2: It wasn't failure to run LILO. | 10:31 |
| jrib | maddox: personally, I had to reboot after enabling the hardware drivers for my wireless card. You still haven't told me if you could enable it from "network configuration" though.... | 10:31 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_: because it worked for me does not mean it will workf or you, I had different hardware in a different configuration | 10:31 |
| maddox | 2 network icons where? | 10:31 |
| paul68 | maddox: brb | 10:31 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_: no, it updated fine | 10:31 |
| nikki_ | Does anyone know what the name of the command is for Crossover Games? I don't use gnome-panel (or any menu system as such), but dmenu. | 10:32 |
| fallore | Occasionally firefox will crash. When it does my sound stops working. I tried loading Amarok after this happened to see if Rhythmbox was the problem and it told me that xine couldn't detect any audio drivers. Can anyone figure out what the problem is with this pattern? | 10:32 |
| maddox | there's nothing to enable from "network configuration" | 10:32 |
| Wobert | maddox, where does it tell you that the wireless network is not connected ? | 10:32 |
| jynxzero_ | ikonia: No indeed, I understand this... but if there were several people here who had tried, and it had failed, that would be useful information to me. Surely you see that? :) | 10:32 |
| _2 | jynxzero_ i've been using lilo for about 9 years now. and on about 12 boxen. lilo works! and i'll say no more. | 10:32 |
| jrib | fallore: what version of ubuntu? | 10:32 |
| maddox | it doesn't say the wireless card is not connected | 10:32 |
| fallore | jrib: 8.04 | 10:32 |
| ikonia | jynxzero_ but as pretty much no-one would be using lilo, I think your not going to get the confidence you want. | 10:32 |
| Wobert | maddox, then what does it say ? | 10:32 |
| carbon_monoxide | is there any hardy backport repo for mono-runtime? | 10:32 |
| onexused | I'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. Some packages I don't want removed: ie, xscreensaver, are being removed. This happened when I upgraded to 8.04, too. How can I tell it I definitely want to keep these packages? | 10:32 |
| murlidhar | nikki_: hi . might be crossover | 10:32 |
| maddox | it says wireless is disabled | 10:32 |
| noob-africa | bye peeps... guess my problem wont ever be solved | 10:33 |
| Wobert | maddox, where ? | 10:33 |
| jrib | maddox: stop saying "it". be specific | 10:33 |
| Wobert | maddox, do you get this message ? | 10:33 |
| maddox | network manager | 10:33 |
| nikki_ | murlidhar: Nope, it isn't it. | 10:33 |
| jrib | !who | maddox | 10:33 |
| ubottu | maddox: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 10:33 |
| fallore | bye noob-africa ! | 10:33 |
| Wobert | maddox, are you connected to a wired lan ? | 10:33 |
| maddox | yes | 10:33 |
| jrib | fallore: intrepid is supposed to resolve the sound issues with flash (which I suspect is causing your problem) | 10:33 |
| maddox | wober - yes | 10:33 |
| jynxzero_ | ikonia: Fine, sorry for bothering you all. I'll check how popular my software is before asking next time :P | 10:33 |
| Wobert | maddox, then what would you need wireless for ? | 10:33 |
| === schmidtm is now known as schmidtm_ | ||
| shashi__ | I am getting unexpected behaviour with 8.10 64-bit version. I usually edit System->Preference-Main_Menu, and i will add my applications. But with ubuntu 8.10, if i click on the Main_Menu, nothing is coming, and also if i execute "alacarte" in the command line, it is giving error. | 10:34 |
| fallore | jrib: then i guess i'll do my clean install earlier :) thanks | 10:34 |
| maddox | jrib - what specifics are you looking for? | 10:34 |
| dimitree | Is the Wiley Ubuntu Linux Bible a good source to learn about Ubuntu ? | 10:34 |
| === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm | ||
| ikonia | jynxzero_ your not bothering anyone, I'm just explaining that pretty much no-one will be using your configurtation, so waiting for multiple people to say "it works" is probably not going to happen | 10:34 |
| maddox | wober - well, I don't know. perhaps I might want to use my laptop somewhere other than right here next to my desktop. call me crazy. | 10:34 |
| Do1 | !ubboto just a test of !tab | 10:34 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:34 |
| jrib | maddox: well in that case it was "network manager" instead of "it". /I/ wasn't the one looking though. I've told you that personally, I had to reboot for network manager to become aware of my wireless card after installing proprietary drivers | 10:34 |
| maddox | jrib - I have rebooted every time, but I will reboot again | 10:35 |
| Wavesonics | hi | 10:35 |
| Wobert | maddox, try pluggin out the wired lan, ubuntu should search for wirelss connection, do you see a network icon on your desktop, top right ? | 10:35 |
| BoltClock | help! i cant upgrade hardy to intrepid using update-manager, it keeps dying with these warnings and errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64966 sudo apt-get update also dies with these same errors | 10:35 |

| jynxzero_ | Thanks ppl. | 10:36 |

| shashi__ | I am getting unexpected behaviour with 8.10 64-bit version. I usually edit System->Preference-Main_Menu, and i will add my applications. But with ubuntu 8.10, if i click on the Main_Menu, nothing is coming, and also if i execute "alacarte" in the command line, it is giving error. | 10:39 |
| maddox | wobert - if there were a thing to click to "enable wireless", I wouldn't have spent the last hour on here trying to figure out how to enable wireless. | 10:39 |
| onexused | I'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. Some packages I don't want removed: ie, xscreensaver, are being removed. This happened when I upgraded to 8.04, too. How can I tell it I definitely want to keep these packages? | 10:40 |
| Pelo | thanks joaopinto I was just wondering , seemed odd | 10:40 |
| Wobert | maddox, Did you try right clicking the network icon ? | 10:40 |
| joaopinto | shashi_, pastebin the alacart error | 10:40 |
| Tom_Davis | joaopinto: ok perhaps an install without update? | 10:40 |
| maddox | wobert - of course I did | 10:40 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: try: sed -n '27638,27678p' /var/lib/dpkg/status | 10:40 |
| joaopinto | Tom_Davis, well, try finding a bug reported on launchpad.net, there maybe a workaround | 10:40 |

| Wavesonics | crap!!!! Is there anyway I can log into root? | 10:44 |
| jrib | !root | Wavesonics | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Wavesonics: 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 | 10:44 |
| bazhang | Wavesonics, use sudo | 10:44 |
| nalys | !trash | 10:44 |
| bazhang | !sudo | Wavesonics | 10:44 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 10:44 |
| jim_p | is there a realtime kernel in the repos? if so... where is it?!!?!? i am looking for it | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Wavesonics: 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) | 10:44 |
| jim_p | !kernel | 10:44 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 10:44 |
| maddox2 | ok, so now I have my laptop here on a wired connection. now what do I do to enable wireless? | 10:44 |
| _2 | Wavesonics sudo -i | 10:44 |
| coz_ | jim_p, are you maybe wanting the low latency kernel? | 10:44 |
| pppoe_dude | hello. I am installing Intrepid on my friend's computer, and the installer can't see the harddisk for some reason (gives me a blank partitioning screen). Any ideas? | 10:45 |
| shashi__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65110/ | 10:45 |
| MaXXXX | jrib, here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/65111/ | 10:45 |
| jrib | pppoe_dude: I think I remember reading something in the release notes about that | 10:45 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: if you run 'sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:45 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: if you run 'sudo apt-get upgrade' now, you still get the same error? | 10:45 |
| maddox2 | so there's just no solution then? | 10:45 |
| Eli_work | Oi screenlets should be part of Ubuntu.... :) | 10:46 |
| Wavesonics | I can not sudo, i think it's because my account was removed from the adm group, does that make sense? | 10:46 |
| * Eli_work is busy trying to get his desktop back to working condition | 10:46 | |
| _2 | Wavesonics yep. | 10:46 |
| jrib | Wavesonics: it's the admin group that you need to be in. What does 'groups' return? | 10:46 |
| danbh_intrepid | Wavesonics: yea, how'd that happen? | 10:46 |
| maddox2 | does anyone know how to enable wireless? | 10:46 |
| jim_p | coz_: yea that one, where is he? | 10:47 |
| _2 | Wavesonics you'll have to boot to single user mode. and fix it. | 10:47 |
| jim_p | coz_: or the server one | 10:47 |
| nbags | ok so i just updated to intrepid. i have a static ip configured in /etc/network/interfaces. now each time i boot my resolv.conf is empty and network manager doesn't even start anymore. what should i do? | 10:47 |
| Wavesonics | <danbh_intrepid> I was trying to add my account to more groups | 10:47 |
| Eli_work | Wavesonics: usermodmod -a -G admin <username> | 10:47 |
| shashi__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65110/ . with ubuntu 8.10, if i click on the Main_Menu, nothing is coming, and also if i execute "alacarte" in the command line, it is giving error. | 10:47 |
| Wavesonics | but it replaced my group or something? | 10:47 |
| Eli_work | oops | 10:47 |
| Eli_work | Wavesonics: usermod -a -G admin <username> | 10:47 |
| jim_p | nbags: remove network manager piece of junk | 10:47 |
| MaT-dg | hi there, I have problems after upgrading tot 8.10, first: I can't connect to a wired or wireless network (don't have a network-manager) | 10:47 |
| danbh_intrepid | Wavesonics: ah, and you forgot the -a, thus replacing instead of adding | 10:47 |
| neil_d | if I used a board like the Jetway J9F2, and connected 2 sata drives via a hot-swap bay, can I remove and replace the HDD without turning the computer off ? | 10:48 |
| coz_ | jim_p, well it is going to depend really, on what you need it for,,, if you are thinking of doing music composition then the lowlatency kernel would be the best choice | 10:48 |
| Wavesonics | aahhh | 10:48 |
| pppoe_dude | hmmm, jrib i can't find the release notes | 10:48 |
| nbags | jim_p: good idea! why didn't i think of that. | 10:48 |
| bazhang | MaT-dg, does ifconfig show any devices, if so how many | 10:48 |
| Wavesonics | ok, how do i boot into single user more? | 10:48 |
| onexused | I'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. Some packages I don't want removed: ie, xscreensaver, are being removed. This happened when I upgraded to 8.04, too. How can I tell it I definitely want to keep these packages? | 10:48 |
| _2 | Wavesonics command, usermod -aG admin <username> you'll have to intrurept the <username> | 10:48 |
| Eli_work | init 2 | 10:48 |
| bazhang | !notes | pppoe_dude | 10:48 |
| jim_p | coz_: i am thinking of pushing it to the limits! | 10:48 |
| ubottu | pppoe_dude: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 10:48 |
| maddox2 | so there's now way to enable wireless in 8.10? | 10:48 |
| jrib | pppoe_dude: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 10:48 |
| pppoe_dude | ok thanks# | 10:48 |
| Eli_work | Wavesonics: sudo init 2 | 10:48 |
| nbags | jim_p: i guess network manager is only really useful for roaming machines (laptops) anyway | 10:48 |
| Redhammer_the_Ol | hello I have an hp laptop with turion x2 and it claims that cpu frequency scaling is not supported ? can that be correct ? | 10:48 |
| Redhammer_the_Ol | using 8.10 | 10:48 |
| Wavesonics | lol | 10:48 |
| Wavesonics | I can't sudo! | 10:48 |
| notdkw | Hi, is there a preferred method for downloading / burning 8.10? I've tried download with firefox, wget, burning with cdrecord, bresero, and keep getting IO error when I select install / check cd on cd bootup. | 10:48 |
| spartanii117 | MaT-dg: i had the same issue, have you rebooted again? | 10:48 |
| danbh_intrepid | Wavesonics: I think you just use the recovery mode boot option | 10:48 |
| TheGourdCap | Uh, the Xorg.conf is really, really, really confusing. Any GUI's for this? | 10:48 |
| coz_ | jim_p, well then you have several options lowlatency of course sever etc you may want to google just tobe sure which is best for your needs :) | 10:49 |
| Wavesonics | ah ok | 10:49 |
| _2 | Wavesonics no. reboot to single user mode. then issue that command. | 10:49 |
| pppoe_dude | ok good will try something now | 10:49 |
| pppoe_dude | bbl | 10:49 |
| jrib | TheGourdCap: you don't really use xorg.conf anymore. Why do you want to? | 10:49 |
| Eli_work | hmmm grub edit -single | 10:49 |
| Wavesonics | f&$^, i can't even run the shutdown command | 10:49 |
| jim_p | nbags: i think network manager is a piece of jusk because of its stupid workarounds and such | 10:49 |
| Eli_work | HAHAHAHA | 10:49 |
| SlimeyPete | notdkw: that should've worked. Check your burner/discs and try burning at a lower speed. | 10:49 |
| neil_d | notdkw: have you checked the .iso md5 checksum | 10:49 |
| jrib | Wavesonics: shutdown from the GUI | 10:49 |
| Wavesonics | it's a server install | 10:49 |
| SlimeyPete | thxpnp: he does if he's using an older ubuntu | 10:49 |
| MaT-dg | bazhang, yes 6 -> eth0, eth0:avahi, lo, wlan0, wlan0:avahi, wmaster0 | 10:49 |
| _2 | Wavesonics you can three fingure salute it. | 10:49 |
| SlimeyPete | erm | 10:49 |
| SlimeyPete | sorry | 10:49 |
| maddox2 | is there some sort of command like or gedit trick to enable wireless? | 10:49 |
| SlimeyPete | jrib: ^^ | 10:49 |
| nbags | i just updated to intrepid. now every time i book it wants to fsck my root filesystem. it says '0 days since last check, check forced' every time. WTF? | 10:50 |
| FloodBot3 | SlimeyPete: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:50 |
| nbags | *boot | 10:50 |
| jim_p | coz_: wel... i dont want to compile it my own :( is it on the repo?? | 10:50 |
| * SlimeyPete gives FloodBot3 a playful slap | 10:50 | |
| TheGourdCap | jrib: I can't get my screen to the right resolution and refresh rate for casual use - 1024x680 at 70 hz. It did that before Intrepid, but that swapped out the nvidia drivers for NV, and they can't seem to properly detect my graphics card. | 10:50 |
| notdkw | neil_d: 2 cd's and one dvd later.... :) | 10:50 |
| jrib | SlimeyPete: that's true | 10:50 |
| coz_ | jim_p, yes it is indeed in the repos I would still read up on it before attempting it however :) | 10:50 |
| _2 | Wavesonics sa_lute ! | 10:50 |
| notdkw | neil_d: and two image downloads. :/ are the australian mirrors borked? | 10:50 |
| MaXXXX | seems I got disconnected | 10:50 |
| jrib | TheGourdCap: so you want to install the nvidia drivers now? | 10:50 |
| maddox2 | alright, well, guess nobody here is going to help | 10:51 |
| maddox2 | thanks | 10:51 |
| jim_p | coz_: where on earth is it??!?! find it for me please in ackages.ubuntu.com | 10:51 |
| MaXXXX | "jrib" here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/65111/ (repost - got disconnected) | 10:51 |
| neil_d | notdkw: ok! but did you check the iso md5 checksum. | 10:51 |
| jim_p | *packages.ubuntu.com | 10:51 |
| SlimeyPete | MaXXXX: yeah, we're all sitting here deliberately not helping you | 10:51 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: if you run 'sudo apt-get upgrade' now, you still get the same error? | 10:51 |
| TheGourdCap | TheGourdCap: I would, but I thought Intrepid broke support for that driver with my old GeForce4MX integrated video. | 10:51 |
| SlimeyPete | oh ffs | 10:51 |
| SlimeyPete | maddox: ^^ | 10:51 |
| notdkw | neil_d: Yep, must be a burning issue. will set at a lower speed. | 10:51 |
| SlimeyPete | I can't tab correctly today >.< | 10:51 |
| maddox | apparently so | 10:51 |
| jaminkle | i got my surround sound working and set up. it works when i run the 5.1 test but when i try use sound for music or video it only uses 2 channels.. any ideas? | 10:51 |

| EugenA | what is the easiest way to enable NTP on ubuntu server? | 10:51 |
| Wavesonics | ok im @ root shell prompt | 10:51 |
| TheGourdCap | jrib: I would, but I thought Intrepid broke support for that driver with my old GeForce4MX integrated video. | 10:51 |

| nbags | just updated to intrepid. now every time i boot it wants to fsck my root filesystem. it says '0 days since last check, check forced' every time. it takes ages since its 900GB. what should i do? | 10:52 |
| blak | any eeepc users having some serious issues with the touchpad after intrepid update using array kernel? Such as it being very choppy with response/movement? | 10:52 |
| joaopinto | EugenA, sudo apt-get install ntp-server | 10:52 |
| thescorp | v.org | 10:52 |
| neil_d | notdkw: you could check by taking the CD and create an iso from that and redo the checksum. I think they should be identical. | 10:52 |
| jrib | TheGourdCap: ah, I don't know about that. Does Hardware Drivers not offer anything then? Did you read for sure you can't use the nvidia drivers from the repositories? | 10:52 |
| joaopinto | nbags, file a bug report at launchpad.net | 10:52 |
| _21h_ | how to fix bug with Network Manager after update to 8.10? | 10:52 |
| dekel35 | aa | 10:52 |
| coz_ | jim_p, go into synaptic or your pacakge manager and type in linux | 10:52 |
| topx | Hi, I have a laptop with dual boot 8.04 + win xp. I want to update 8.04 to 8.10 but keep the dual boot. Anything special to think of when doing so? If I install over 8.04 will the dual boot be intact? | 10:52 |
| joaopinto | _21h_, which bug ? | 10:52 |
| jrib | _21h_: you need to be a little more specific | 10:52 |
| coz_ | jim_p, for the search type in linux | 10:53 |
| MaT-dg | spartanii117, yes rebooted many times since yesterday, still no networkmanager | 10:53 |
| macvr | hi, has anyone tried intrepid? is this channel now for hardy or intrepid? | 10:53 |
| _21h_ | nm-applet says error while starting | 10:53 |
| rww | macvr: it's for both | 10:53 |
| SlimeyPete | maddox: I guess no-one here (at the moment) knows the solution. It might be best to check the kernel logs for errors to see if the module is actually loading correctly. | 10:53 |
| Mahr_Brb | macvr: I have tried it and survived it lol. | 10:53 |
| zloy | hello | 10:53 |
| joaopinto | topx, the installer should leave your actual windows boot entry | 10:53 |
| jaysonsantos | Hello fellas, I have upgraded my ubuntu installation and openssh-blacklist have been remove, don't I need that anymore ? | 10:53 |
| bazhang | topx, if via the net should be no problem | 10:53 |
| jim_p | coz_: oh here it is! http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-image-2.6.27-3-rt | 10:53 |
| SlimeyPete | macvr: it's now for both | 10:53 |
| MaXXXX | jrib, did you ask me to try something before "sudo apt-get upgrade"! | 10:53 |
| * SlimeyPete is running intrepid at home, seems okay | 10:53 | |
| jrib | MaXXXX: nope | 10:53 |
| _2 | Wavesonics you might add adm too. but i think a quick look in /etc/sudoers will reviel that admin is the group you want in to be root jr. | 10:53 |
| neil_d | notdkw: you could also try the 'test cd' option when you boot from the CD. | 10:53 |
| TheGourdCap | jrib: It's not listed in Hardware Drivers, and I read about it in release notes, but it said this replacement open NV driver does 2D, and thats all I use this machine for anyway. | 10:53 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: alright, give me a few more lines so I can see all of the fontconfig-config paragraph I guess (do like 200) | 10:53 |

| [tla] | Hi. environment: Ibex on vmware workstation on XP. issue: mouse pointer is way off screen selection (ie the pointer selects something way off to the left of something im pointing at). When i first installed Ibex rc-1 it worked fine but then after a reboot i had the issue. What do I need to check to make the mouse pointer / screen position correlate with each other? Bear in mind it's not... | 10:54 |
| [tla] | ...easy to use the GUI! Thx. | 10:54 |
| jim_p | guys if you dont see me tomorrow, i will be lost is some kernel configuration :P | 10:54 |
| Mahr_Brb | macvr: I actually love it. The only problem I had "out of the box" was that nvidia-settings couldn't save any changes but crashed (segment error) but that can be solved by using nvidia-xconf first. | 10:54 |
| EugenA | should i now configure NTP? i still have wrong time on this system | 10:54 |

| Wavesonics | why is grub better then lilo? | 10:55 |
| dekel35 | on 8.10 I am seeing that the mouse pointer moves as the joystick moves. That's new. Both my mouse and joystick are connected through usb | 10:55 |
| macvr | Mahrellon: any other probs? | 10:55 |
| maddox | I've seen screenshots of the new network manager, and it looks like it sees hotspots and shows you signal strength and everything. so I shouldn't have to manually enter my ssid and all that to be able to see my wireless network, right? it should just see it on its own? | 10:55 |
| _2 | Wavesonics grub better than lilo ? not in my book. | 10:55 |
| Pihhan | Wavesonics: because you dont have to run lilo after kernel replace | 10:55 |
| MaXXXX | jrib, please hind it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/65114/ | 10:55 |
| blak | my touchpad movement is very choppy with 8.10, anyone found a fix for this? | 10:55 |
| Mahrellon | dekel35: That's becuase xorg 7.4 works a tad different than 7.3. There are some howtos on google on how to assign your joystick to a certein event. | 10:56 |
| joaopinto | Wavesonics, I am not sure it's better, but I am sure there was a good rational for it to become the default on ubuntu, please check the ubuntu devs mailing list archive | 10:56 |
| EugenA | joaopinto, should i now configure NTP? i still have wrong time on this system | 10:56 |
| notdkw | neil_d: test cd gives the same I/O error as 'live cd' and 'install' etc. | 10:56 |

| jrib | Mahrellon: ah ok. Look at line 97 there. Did you recently have a power failure or have to force your computer off without properly shutting down? | 10:56 |
| neil_d | notdkw: ok | 10:56 |
| dekel35 | How can I stop the mouse cursor from responding to joystick events? | 10:56 |
| Mahrellon | macvr: Only problem I had was that nvidia-settings couldn't save any changes but crashed (segment error) instead. I solved it by running nvidia-xconf first. | 10:56 |

| notdkw | slacker_nl: problems with intel graphics cards? | 10:58 |
| Mahrellon | slacker_nl: Why not? I just tested Intrepid on my workstation with an intel card and it works as it should. | 10:58 |
| maddox | I've seen screenshots of the new network manager, and it looks like it sees hotspots and shows you signal strength and everything. so I shouldn't have to manually enter my ssid and all that to be able to see my wireless network, right? it should just see it on its own? | 10:58 |
| slacker_nl | jrib: i'm unable to get a decent x-session | 10:58 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: alright, looks like some files have become corrupted. Did you run fsck? | 10:58 |
| Wavesonics | the group i want to be in to be able to sudo, is the "adm" ? | 10:59 |
| Simon1245 | Can someone tell me how to move a directory from one account to another one? | 10:59 |

| jrib | Wavesonics: "admin" | 10:59 |
| Pihhan | Dabbu: you can search for ppa of IntuittiveNipple, he has unofficial VLC for hardy there i think | 10:59 |

| MaT-dg | maddox, what is your problem with the networkmanager? | 10:59 |
| MaXXXX | jrib, Nope I don't know how to :/ | 10:59 |
| blak | its bulit into the eepc i have | 10:59 |
| slacker_nl | notdkw: yes | 10:59 |
| Wavesonics | jrib: interesting, in /etc/group i only have an "adm" group | 10:59 |
| blak | usb i would think is the connection tho | 10:59 |
| jrib | blak: it's a touchpad? | 10:59 |
| blak | yes | 10:59 |
| Dabbu | Pihhan:do u use VLC | 11:00 |
| maddox | mat-dg - It says wireless is "disabled" and it doesn't give me the option of enabling it | 11:00 |
| jaminkle | i got my surround sound working and set up. it works when i run the 5.1 test but when i try use sound for music or video it only uses 2 channels.. any ideas? | 11:00 |
| notdkw | slacker_nl: I doubt intel cards would have an issue with window managers, more x11 itself? | 11:00 |
| Pihhan | Dabbu: yes, but i have still old and dont need a change now | 11:00 |

| karab44 | Hi | 11:01 |
| notdkw | x11, xorg, xfree86, same shit, different smell. :) | 11:01 |
| jrib | blak: you're probably better off asking in the eee forums as I'm the problem is already addressed there. You can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see how the touchpad is getting detected though. And remember that input devices are ignored in xorg.conf now. You need to use /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ to modify settings if you want | 11:01 |
| MaT-dg | maddox, do you have a networkmanager icon in your panel? | 11:01 |
| MaXXXX | jrib, what shall I type to properly run fsck? | 11:01 |
| spartanii117 | blak: are you running intrepid 64bit? | 11:01 |
| Dabbu | Pihhan:i installed new VLC but there is lots of problem with that | 11:01 |

| nalys | hello, when I want to access the following directory with the terminal: "/root/.local/share/Trash/" it says permission denied. And sudo cd doesn't work. What can I do? I accessed it via gui easily though I want to empty that folder and the only option I have is to move it to trash, so it reappears in that folder. | 11:01 |
| maddox | mat-dg - yes, I have one. when I left click, it shows wireless as "disabled". when I right-click, there's no tick box next to "enable wireless" | 11:02 |
| karab44 | I just made hidden ubuntu main menu and I wonder how to accelerate the show/hide animation... its just too slow | 11:02 |

| jrib | TheGourdCap: did you try adding the resolutions to xorg.conf? I can pastebin my old one from hardy, but I'm not sure if syntax has changed | 11:04 |
| TheGourdCap | So anyway, is there a GUI to fix this Xorg resolution problem? | 11:04 |
| MaT-dg | maddox, sorry can't help you I guess, just thought we had the same problem | 11:04 |
| TheGourdCap | Err, sorry. Meant to post that because you hadn't responded. | 11:04 |
| bremby1 | hey, anyone else experiencing problems in 8.10 with gnome-panel? it uses one of my cores up to 100%, not doing anything special | 11:04 |

| reiki | no xchat in repos for Intrepid? all I found was xchat-gnome | 11:07 |
| Tom_Davis | xchat installed for me on intrepid | 11:07 |
| joaopinto | reiki, xchat is there | 11:07 |
| jrib | TheGourdCap: well yes, but you'll be pulling in a bunch of gnome libs. xrandr is the tool on the command line, but I'm not very familiar with it. In any case, we can try the xorg.conf modifications and see if they will work | 11:07 |
| joaopinto | reiki, make sure you have universe enabled | 11:08 |
| MaT-dg | anyone knows why I see the same connection twice in ifconfig like this: 'eth0', 'eth0:avahi' ? | 11:08 |
| spartanii117 | jrib: the xorg syntax has not changed, but less of it is needed. | 11:08 |
| joaopinto | MaT-dg, it's not the same connection, it's a special device setup for avahi | 11:08 |
| jrib | spartanii117: thanks | 11:08 |
| jaminkle | i got my surround sound working and set up. it works when i run the 5.1 test but when i try use sound for music or video it only uses 2 channels.. any ideas? | 11:09 |

| velko | spsneo: if you don't know the difference, just pick any of them | 11:10 |
| spsneo | velko: which is better | 11:10 |
| spsneo | velko: let me know | 11:10 |
| joaopinto | spsneo, keep with ext3, for the differences, check google :) the description is to extensive for IRC | 11:10 |
| spartanii117 | ParanoiaP: what is your q? | 11:10 |
| _2 | spsneo ext# | 11:10 |
| joaopinto | !anyone | ParanoiaP | 11:10 |
| velko | spsneo: i use jfs. but noone can tell wich is the best one | 11:10 |

| lucio12345 | hello HELP i just installed 8.10 and now compiz doesn't work | 11:11 |
| spsneo | velko: is it an extension of ext3 | 11:11 |
| velko | spsneo: no | 11:11 |
| lucio12345 | it says The composite extension is not available | 11:11 |
| TheGourdCap | jrib: edited it. Hope this works when I restart X in a bit. (need to do a few things first.) | 11:11 |
| lucio12345 | how to reactivate compiz? | 11:11 |
| joaopinto | spsneo, ext3 is what most people use, so you should be safe with it | 11:11 |
| lucio12345 | 3d is inutils but cool | 11:12 |
| joaopinto | ParanoiaP, I would quit the upgrade process and restart it :P | 11:12 |
| spartanii117 | TheGourdCap: do you have a second computer on the network? | 11:12 |
| cloud-ieee | I am having trouble viewing .wmv files can anyone help? I already ran the 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' and still can not view the files. | 11:12 |
| TheGourdCap | spartanii117: Yes. | 11:12 |
| spsneo | joaopinto: i have read many reviews saying that jfs is faster | 11:12 |
| ParanoiaP | joapinto: thanks. | 11:12 |
| TheGourdCap | But I also have to leave in about ten minutes. School. | 11:12 |
| paul68 | maddox: you still here? | 11:13 |
| _2 | oh avahi is Zeroconf pfft why didn't they just say so | 11:13 |
| joaopinto | spsneo, it's your choice ;) | 11:13 |
| spartanii117 | TheGourdCap: if you have SSH installed you'll beable to make changes from there, and just use ctrl+alt+backspace to restart x | 11:13 |
| blak | any idea why i cant see any touchpad info | 11:13 |
| velko | spsneo: i'm very happy with jfs since 2 or 3 years. but ultimately it's you who'll make the choice for yourself | 11:13 |
| jrib | blak: where are you looking? | 11:13 |
| TheGourdCap | spartanii117: That is so far beyond my realm of competency (although I'd like to learn it), just no. | 11:13 |
| blak | touchpad under system | 11:14 |
| blak | says i dont have gsynaptics enabled | 11:14 |
| spsneo | velko: ok .. so i will have one disk jfs and the other one ext3 | 11:14 |
| spartanii117 | it's pretty basic actually, it's just a remote terminal | 11:14 |
| blak | but i thought hal took care of that stuff? | 11:14 |
| _2 | spsneo good call. try them all and stick with what works for you. | 11:14 |
| TheGourdCap | spartanii117: I meant setting up SSH, connecting, and knowing keyboard shortcuts. | 11:15 |

| _2 | gate_keeper_ no improvement ? if you have your /target mounted proceed with the install... | 11:23 |
| bn43 | yes | 11:23 |
| proppen | oh, itś not on the cdrom then? Thanx, I'll have a look | 11:23 |
| slobad23 | how do i get ubuntu server to pick up its ip address from my dhcp server? | 11:23 |
| joaopinto | ay^, if the memory leakage is with the transmission process, then it's transmission fault :) | 11:23 |
| bn43 | jim_p: yes | 11:23 |

| jaminkle | i am trying to run a .sh script but i get permission denied and when i try do it with sudo it says command not found | 11:23 |
| jim_p | bn43: then disable nm and remove it and try again | 11:23 |
| macvr | jrib: it just goes straight to the upgrade tool... doesnt seem to mention the size... when would i get the notification? of the upgrade size for ubuntu? | 11:23 |
| Slart | slobad23: edit the file /etc/network/interfaces and set the interface to use dhcp? | 11:24 |
| bn43 | jim_p: how do I remove it? | 11:24 |
| cabrini | jaminkle, try sudo su to open a root shell and then do it from there | 11:24 |
| ay^ | joaopinto: Yeah that was my first thought, but since it worked just fine with 8.04.1, So I feel confused.. ;P | 11:24 |
| SimoneB | reiki: compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:24 |
| jrib | macvr: I don't remember exactly. I do remember it telling me how much it needed to download at some point | 11:24 |
| reiki | SimoneB: thanks | 11:24 |
| Ashwin | can i find files from the modification date | 11:24 |
| SimoneB | reiki: just open a terminal and type "aptitude search compiz" :P | 11:25 |
| ay^ | joaopinto: also, if no one else has this, it might be my ubuntu | 11:25 |
| jrib | jaminkle, cabrini: use 'sudo -i' instead if you need a root shell | 11:25 |
| web_knows | eae o/ | 11:25 |
| macvr | jrib: i can cancel the upgrade at that point? and do at a later time? | 11:25 |
| bn43 | jim_p: and then what do I use to connect? | 11:25 |
| cabrini | jrib, why? | 11:25 |
| Slart | Ashwin: yes | 11:25 |
| jrib | cabrini: will reset your environment | 11:25 |
| cabrini | jrib, why would I want to do that? | 11:25 |
| jrib | cabrini: it's safer | 11:25 |
| Ashwin | Slart: can you tell me which tag i need to use | 11:25 |
| bn43 | jim_p: btw I'm still on hardy heron | 11:25 |
| Slart | Ashwin: "find" will do that on the command line.. or the gnome-applet for finding files.. the nautilus finder thingy might also do it | 11:26 |
| jim_p | bn43: you always grab an ip from dhcp on the router right? | 11:26 |
| jrib | cabrini: in any case, if you want the effect of sudo su, you should use sudo -s | 11:26 |
| jim_p | me too | 11:26 |
| bn43 | jim_p: yes | 11:26 |
| _2 | gate_keeper_ that's the way i have to install on partitionless disks... installer is at the partitioner; i switch tty's and mke2fs -cj /dev/hda ;mount /dev/hda /target ;cd /target #to keep it mounted switch back to the installer and select [back] and install the base system when the partitioner starts back up just select [back] and go on to the next step... | 11:26 |
| jrib | macvr: you should be able to cancel the upgrade as long as it's only in the download phase | 11:26 |

| bn43 | jim_p: and "ip route" shows the right route | 11:27 |
| Deadboys | how can i see what programs start on boot in ubuntu? | 11:27 |
| jim_p | bn43: then use /etc/network/interfaces to tell the laptop to look for an ip on dhcp and dont rely on nm crap | 11:27 |
| macvr | jrib: ok... how much was the downnload for u... i know it might vary but just getting a rough estimate, i dont want to download 700mb now,, thats y... | 11:27 |
| Slart | !boot | Deadboys | 11:27 |
| _2 | Slart there are several disadvantages in fact. | 11:27 |
| ubottu | Deadboys: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 11:27 |
| Slart | 2 | 11:27 |
| Slart | _2: huh? then why do it? | 11:28 |
| jrib | Deadboys: system -> administration -> software sources, or bum, or sysv-rc-conf, or just look at /etc/rc* | 11:28 |
| gate_keeper_ | _2: hmm, will check it now, thanks a lot! | 11:28 |
| Deadboys | jrib | 11:28 |
| Deadboys | one second | 11:29 |
| bullgard4 | What menu item switches on 'popularity contest' (or similar)? | 11:29 |
| Ashwin | how do i find files created before 3 days | 11:29 |
| cabrini | how can I allow other users to install my application with apt-get? | 11:29 |
| _2 | Slart you can't use grub grub is too weak to boot a partitionless disk. you have to fiddle with the installer as noted above to get it to install that way, if you make a partition you lose your primary superblock and have to mount with a backup superblock .... there may be one advantage, you learn (by encessity) a lot about how things work | 11:30 |
| Deadboys | jrib -bash: cd: /etc/rc.local: Not a directory | 11:30 |
| jrib | macvr: it took a couple of hours at about 300kb/s. I don't remember the size though | 11:30 |
| bn43 | jim_p: is there some article/howto on how to live without "crap nm" and what tools to use for wireless? | 11:30 |
| bn43 | jim_p: it is convenient otherwise and can live without it if I know how to connect to regular wifi hotspots using something else? | 11:30 |
| Deadboys | im using server edition of ubuntu hardy | 11:30 |
| Deadboys | if it matters | 11:30 |
| macvr | jrib: oh... ok... | 11:30 |
| jrib | Deadboys: read 'man update-rc.d' if you to do it that way. You only want the special directories there | 11:30 |
| Slart | _2: ah, thanks for that interesting info.. but I think I'll stay with the normal partitioned drive =) | 11:31 |
| _2 | Slart and if you play it just right you can look really cool to a nuub | 11:31 |
| jim_p | bn43: there is a gui app named wicd, google it. it has even ubuntu repo! | 11:31 |
| Deadboys | jrib can i pm you | 11:31 |
| esojep | Ashwin use 'find' -atime flag | 11:31 |
| _2 | pun inteneded | 11:31 |
| jim_p | bn43: i use it on my friends laptop when he connects to wifi hotspots | 11:32 |
| esojep | Ashwin or -ctime | 11:32 |
| SergiobT | Hi all, i've just installed 8.10 version, and the audio doesn't work in webs like myspace, youtube, does anybody know how to fix it? | 11:32 |
| jrib | Ashwin, esojep: neither atime nor ctime give the time a file was created | 11:32 |
| Deadboys | install the correct driver for your audo card SergiobT | 11:32 |
| Deadboys | jrib is it okay if i pm you, if you dont mind | 11:33 |
| _2 | esojep ahemm -ctime File's status was last changed n*24 hours ago. | 11:33 |
| jrib | Deadboys: sure, but if it's about support, I'd prefer if you talked here | 11:33 |
| bn43 | jim_p: thanks! will read up | 11:33 |
| rc55 | Eek! The latest kernel update breaks 8139/810x Realtek Wired Lan connections - it has a bug reported but it's quite severe, it's probably a good idea to pull the latest kernel update... can I talk to anyone about this? | 11:33 |
| bn43 | jim_p: but is this a known problem with nm? | 11:33 |
| SimoneB | i'm doing the upgrade, the upgrade tool says it needs to download 1.1gb of stuff, how is this possible? the whole cd is 700 mb! | 11:33 |
| Deadboys | id like to but its too busy | 11:33 |
| Deadboys | having a hard time reading it all | 11:33 |
| _2 | esojep changed not created. | 11:33 |
| danbh_intrepid | rc55: you can try #ubuntu-kernel | 11:34 |
| jrib | SimoneB: it downloads upgrades for things you have installed too | 11:34 |
| jim_p | bn43: there are loads of problem with nm. i can tell you a real life that happened | 11:34 |
| macpo3 | hmm, if I've just upgraded the server on my lan to 8.10, is there an easy way to make the other machines get their packages from the package cache on the server (if they're there) instead of across my broadband connection? | 11:34 |
| rc55 | danbh_intrepid: thanks :D | 11:34 |
| danbh_intrepid | macpo3: there is, the name of the program escapes me | 11:35 |
| danbh_intrepid | macpo3: something like apt-proxy? | 11:35 |
| bn43 | jim_p: ok - that sucks | 11:35 |
| bn43 | jim_p: what is intrepid gonna use? | 11:35 |
| danbh_intrepid | macpo3: maybe just apt-cacher | 11:35 |
| jrib | Deadboys: did you read the info ubottu gives with !boot? | 11:35 |
| jim_p | bn43: nm! | 11:35 |
| Deadboys | yes | 11:36 |
| macvr | danbh_intrepid: are u thinking of aptond? | 11:36 |
| Deadboys | !boot deadboys | 11:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about boot deadboys | 11:36 |
| macpo3 | nm might be fine for what it's designed for, but I have a wired lan with fixed ip addresses and it's a bit over featured for my simple setup | 11:36 |
| Dusk_Bey | my 8.10 upgrade couldn't finish | 11:36 |
| _2 | esojep and Ashwin -mtime File's data was last modified n*24 hours ago. -atime File was last accessed n*24 hours ago. and -ctime File's status was last changed n*24 hours ago. but nothing about file was created. man find | 11:36 |
| Dusk_Bey | computer is locked | 11:36 |
| bn43 | jim_p: why is it being included if it does not work? | 11:36 |
| Dusk_Bey | how can i resume upgrade? | 11:36 |
| Deadboys | i dont have either of the directories jrib | 11:36 |
| jrib | Deadboys: what directories exactly? | 11:36 |
| jim_p | bn43: a friend of mine used nm ONCE to connect to the neighbors wireless hotspot. he did connect, and ever since network manager was trying to connect there!! | 11:37 |
| danbh_intrepid | macvr: no, thats for cds. There is a program where you can cache downloaded packages on a machine, and you have all the other machines use that machine as the repository | 11:37 |
| Deadboys | -bash: cd: /etc/rc.local: Not a directory | 11:37 |
| jim_p | bn43: even if he was miles away! | 11:37 |
| esojep | _2 so, how to know file created time/date? | 11:37 |
| jrib | Deadboys: that's a file, not a directory | 11:37 |
| jtisme | Dusk_Bey, i would be glad to help you but in never upgrade always fresh install | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, rc.local is a file.. not a directory | 11:37 |
| jtisme | i never | 11:37 |
| Deadboys | ah | 11:37 |
| danbh_intrepid | macvr: but that might be what that guy was looking for ( macpo3 aptoncd ) | 11:38 |
| Deadboys | then im stupid | 11:38 |
| Deadboys | excuse my ignorance | 11:38 |
| _2 | esojep you can't. | 11:38 |
| jim_p | bn43: i think because wicd is not that spread, and nm is on the repos of all distros | 11:38 |
| * jonty-comp sudo do-release-upgrade | 11:38 | |
| _2 | esojep as far as i know there is no way. | 11:38 |
| macvr | danbh_intrepid: oh... | 11:38 |
| bn43 | jim_p: cool jim_p thanks for the tip! | 11:38 |
| jrib | Deadboys: you can either use that file (add it before 'exit 0') or create a proper sysv script using /etc/init.d/skeleton as a guide. Then you can use sysv-rc-conf (or bum or update-rc.d) to add it to the proper runlevels | 11:38 |
| bn43 | jim_p: cheers | 11:38 |
| tobago | hi, i have installed ubuntu ibex n my machine and ruby. is there a bug known? | 11:38 |

| jrib | Deadboys: you get used to it, like anything new | 11:39 |
| Deadboys | ive been using it for about a month lol | 11:39 |
| Deadboys | but anyways | 11:39 |
| kiyoshi | been using it for a couple of months... no complains os far | 11:39 |
| Deadboys | can you be more specific | 11:39 |
| kiyoshi | besides... there is help everywhere | 11:40 |
| Deadboys | i just want to make sure that unreal starts on boot | 11:40 |
| kiyoshi | thats easy enouth.... but i dont have the infor here | 11:40 |
| OxDeadC0de | unreal? like... the game? | 11:40 |
| Deadboys | no | 11:40 |
| kiyoshi | and i did it just wonce | 11:40 |
| Deadboys | Unreal like the ircd | 11:40 |
| E-XtraCt | Yesterday I installed Ubuntu on my PC and I already had Vista installed, How can I edit the boot menu ? | 11:41 |
| kiyoshi | let me see if i can hel u | 11:41 |
| jrib | Deadboys: does it already have a script in /etc/init.d/ to start it? | 11:41 |
| Deadboys | i can tell you what dir unreal is installed if it matters | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | !grub | E-XtraCt | 11:41 |
| ubottu | E-XtraCt: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 11:41 |
| OxDeadC0de | oh, you need to add an initrd script, /etc/init.d, then make a soft link to your runlevel (ex: /etc/rc5.d (the default runlevel) | 11:41 |
| _2 | Deadboys something like gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local and replace the "exit 0" with your code. if i understood the question | 11:41 |
| jrib | OxDeadC0de: 2 is default on ubuntu | 11:41 |
| _2 | OxDeadC0de softlink ? symbolic link aka symlink ? | 11:42 |
| E-XtraCt | dr_willis, I just want to put the vista at the top on the menu, How can I do that ? | 11:42 |
| OxDeadC0de | via ln -s target linkname | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, or put your code above the exit 0 line, ending with a & if you are not sure it spawns to the background | 11:42 |
| OxDeadC0de | or do what dr_willis suggests, it's easier | 11:43 |
| _2 | yeah symlink | 11:43 |
| Deadboys | im not running gui | 11:43 |
| tobago | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxml-simple-ruby/+bug/256300 | 11:43 |

| Deadboys | and i dont have the rc local file | 11:43 |
| AlexCONRAD | hi, do I need to backup my ~/ and configs in /etc/ before migrating to Intrepid ? | 11:43 |
| dr_willis | E-XtraCt, i edit the menu.lst file and uncomment the example given. so its at the top..or edit the 'default #' line to point to your # for the windows install.. grub starts counting at 0 rember that.. | 11:43 |
| Dedi | hey i let only girls connect to me :> | 11:43 |
| OxDeadC0de | vim /etc/rc.local , there is none? | 11:43 |
| jonty-comp | AlexCONRAD: probably not, but best be on the safe side | 11:43 |
| _2 | Deadboys sudo nano /etc/rc.local if no gui | 11:44 |
| ShitalLin | what is command to mark a partition as boot | 11:44 |
| kiyoshi | i need to add remote desktop view to start at boot and not at login and i dont have any clue | 11:44 |
| AlexCONRAD | jonty-comp: ok, thanks | 11:44 |
| Deadboys | _2 that doesnt help that i dont have the rc.local file | 11:44 |
| _2 | Deadboys why not ? it will creat it. | 11:45 |
| joaopinto | kiyoshi, you would need to setup a X session just for that vnc server | 11:45 |
| Ciorapel | Hello. I installed Interpid Ibex on my HP Compaq 6715s, but everything is running extremly slow (more slow than live CD). My proc. cooler is at full speed altough my proc. has 28 deg. celsius. Anybody who solved the issue of running EXTREMLY SLOW ? | 11:45 |
| _2 | Deadboys and if you create an rc.local be sure to sudo chmod 755 /etc/rc.local | 11:45 |
| dr_willis | ive never seen a ubuntu install without a rc.local but the default one doesent do anything. :) | 11:46 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, be sure to check your spelling.. Case Is imporntant also. | 11:46 |
| Deadboys | im aware | 11:46 |
| _2 | dr_willis but i never saw a clean intrepid so i can't argue | 11:46 |
| joaopinto | Deadboys, there is a default rc.local on Ubuntu... | 11:46 |
| natalisushka | hi, please I need some help. My system broke for some reason while upgrading to 8.10 from 8.04. I want to enter the recovery mode to fix broken packages, but it needs internet. I have wired connection and wireless around me. How do I connect to either (I prefer wireless)? I tried enditing /etc/network/interfaces for the wired connection but didn't work. When i scan for wireless, how can I select it and enter the passp | 11:46 |
| macpo3 | ok, I guess the best plan is to wait until the server upgrade completes, then install apt-proxy on the server, import the server's apt-cache into apt-proxy on the server, and then edit sources.list on the desktop machines to see the proxy on the server | 11:46 |
| Deadboys | joakim | 11:46 |
| === vendetta is now known as Abracadabra | ||
| natalisushka | Anyother suggestions to connect to internet would be appriciaited | 11:46 |
| Deadboys | i promise i dont have it | 11:46 |
| Deadboys | im using ubuntu server if it matters | 11:47 |
| Deadboys | on my dedi | 11:47 |
| Deadboys | anyways | 11:47 |
| joaopinto | not having a default is not a good sign, you can't be sure the new one will be called by the bootup sequence | 11:47 |
| Deadboys | well reguardless | 11:47 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka, if you're having nm issues (sounds like you are) then use the wired connection to sort it | 11:47 |
| Deadboys | jrib i dont have a script for it in init.d | 11:47 |
| _2 | Deadboys as i said, the editor will create it, just chmod it when done | 11:47 |
| Deadboys | how do i add one | 11:47 |
| jonty-comp | my ubuntu server has one | 11:47 |
| favro | same here | 11:47 |
| jonty-comp | granted, it's empty, but it's there | 11:47 |
| Deadboys | well mine doesnt | 11:47 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, its in /etc/rc.local not /etc/init.d/ | 11:48 |
| jonty-comp | Deadboys: just sudo nano /etc/rc.local and then when you save it will create it | 11:48 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, just start up an editor and make the file. | 11:48 |
| cuznt | my system tray and task manager wont start up in 4.1 | 11:48 |
| Deadboys | i know its not in etc/init.d | 11:48 |
| Deadboys | ... | 11:48 |
| Deadboys | im trying to make unreal3.2 start on boot | 11:48 |
| Deadboys | thats it | 11:48 |
| OxDeadC0de | yay I uploaded a cpu frequency scaler applet I made for kde to kde-looks.org about 20 minutes ago, it already has 14 downloads and counting :), looks like people really want that | 11:48 |

| VSpike | I have a video DVD that when I try to read it with mplayer/vlc/totem/ddrescue causes errors to appear in both /var/log/messages and ddmesg and doesn't work. ddrescue show a lot of errors. I tried booting from a 7.10 live CD and I have the same problem (currently on 8.10). I tried it in a different box which is on 7.10 and it works. I tried booting the machine with the problem into windows and it plays fine. What could cause this? Could it be some | 11:48 |
| Deadboys | can anyone query me detailed instructions how to do that | 11:49 |
| galv | Hi, anybody had issues instaling Ibex 64 bits? | 11:49 |
| natalisushka | macpo3: what is nm? And how can I configure the wired one? I am running ubuntu 8.04 from the Live CD now, and inetwork and internet were detected the moment I plugged it. but when i was in recovery mode I didn't seem to have connection when i plugged the wire! What can ido? | 11:49 |
| joaopinto | Deadboys, you must also have a /etc/init.d/rc.local which calls /etc/rc.local | 11:49 |
| favro | Deadboys: it will be in /etc/rc2.d | 11:49 |
| VSpike | I tried another video dvd and it's fine | 11:49 |
| joaopinto | if you don't have that one, rc.local will not be called | 11:49 |
| Deadboys | can someone please just query this to me detailed step by step | 11:49 |
| joaopinto | initscripts: /etc/init.d/rc.local | 11:49 |
| natalisushka | macpo3: as I said, I want internet to work when I am in the recovery mode (which is only command line) | 11:49 |
| Deadboys | im aware that i need rc.local | 11:49 |
| VSpike | So this machine + this dvd + linux = fail. other machine, fine. windows fine. other dvd fine. | 11:49 |
| Deadboys | but idk what to do after that | 11:49 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka sorry, beyond my knowledge | 11:49 |

| Deadboys | the system related what | 11:50 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka I'd guess at ifconfig | 11:51 |
| Terrasque | jonty-comp: I prefer polish servers, they seem to be pretty fast most of the time :D | 11:51 |
| joaopinto | paul--__, it works on me | 11:51 |

| natalisushka | macpo3: I know! I don't know the proper steps that guarantee it | 11:51 |
| paul__ | it doesnt work for me | 11:51 |
| joaopinto | Deadboys, there is a system related script, and a user related script, the system script must be on /etc/init.d | 11:51 |

| velko | natalisushka: are you on the box right now? | 11:52 |
| Deadboys | it would probably help if you told me the file name | 11:52 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka ok, well try opening a terminal from the livecd, find out what the ifconfig is under 8.04, then figure out the ifconfig command to manually recreate that under 8.10 | 11:52 |
| OxDeadC0de | installed it from synaptic | 11:52 |

| joaopinto | DEA7H, ls -ltr /etc/init.d/rc.local | 11:52 |
| joaopinto | ops, was Deadboys | 11:52 |
| natalisushka | velko: I am inside Live CD on the same machine that has the problem | 11:52 |
| Deadboys | WHAT IS THE FILE IN THERE | 11:52 |
| Deadboys | i know where it is | 11:52 |
| paul__ | i'll try that dr_willis | 11:52 |
| joaopinto | that's the file name ! | 11:52 |
| Deadboys | okay thats all you had to say | 11:52 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka start with "ifconfig eth0" in a terminal window from the livecd | 11:52 |
| Deadboys | i asked like 3 times | 11:52 |
| Deadboys | and you said the same thing | 11:53 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, path is /etc/init.d file name is rc.local | 11:53 |
| _21h_ | natalisushka, че у тебя там? | 11:53 |
| cabrini | where does firefox store your settings in ubuntu? | 11:53 |
| joaopinto | Deadboys, please scroll up next time, I have provided the file name about 1000 lines ^ | 11:53 |
| _2 | joaopinto "not to be created manually" ??? why not ? it's plain text shell scripts some reason it can't be hand writen ? | 11:53 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, thus the full path to the file is /etc/init.d/rc.local | 11:53 |
| jrib | cabrini: ~/.mozilla/firefox/ | 11:53 |
| cabrini | ty | 11:53 |
| natalisushka | velko: I had 8.04 and while upgrading to 8.10 I had some issues. When I restart, I get to the login screen of ubuntu but keyboard doesn't work, and I guess it's due to broken packages, so in reconvery mode I want to fix that but I need internet connection | 11:53 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka that's the way I'd try and fix it | 11:53 |
| joaopinto | _2, because the one on init.d is expected to be installed by initscripts, and unless you have a strong reason to do so, you should not edit scripts managed by packages | 11:54 |
| [tla] | Hi. The mouse pointer and focus position don't match on the screen. Any idea what can cause this and how to fix it? | 11:54 |

| Deadboys | i have rc.local in init.d | 11:55 |
| natalisushka | _21h_: Govorite po anglizki pazhaluysta :) | 11:55 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | how can i get my wireless working asap? | 11:55 |
| jrib | joaopinto: /etc/init.d/skeleton is left there for a reason too | 11:55 |
| velko | natalisushka: ok. if you can connect from the livecd you are using dhcp. if your wired network (on the broken install) is configured for using dhcp (which it most probably is) you have just to issue "ifup eth0" when you log in, provided your interface is called eth0 | 11:55 |
| Deadboys | now how do i modify that to make unreal3.2 start | 11:55 |
| _21h_ | natalisushka, mirc? | 11:55 |
| Deadboys | on boot | 11:55 |
| imotic | how do i get to my floppy drive (in intrepid)? | 11:55 |
| gaoxin | hell | 11:56 |
| Atomic_UE | ibex doesn't have a global equaliser? | 11:56 |
| OxDeadC0de | deadboys add the line: /usr/bin/unreal or whatever the binaries name is to the file | 11:56 |
| _2 | joaopinto hmmm ok. but i have a very strong reason to alwasy rewrite all the scripts in /etc/init.d reason, i don't like the format, they are ugly. to many long if statements where a simple && would do. :) but i wasn't going to ask him to write one anyway. | 11:56 |
| gaoxin | i no question | 11:56 |
| jrib | Deadboys: pick a person and address him. You are all over the place | 11:56 |
| _21h_ | natalisushka, perekluchis v text. konsol i ot tuda podnimi xorg | 11:56 |
| gaoxin | exit | 11:56 |
| OxDeadC0de | or if you wat to run as a specific user try man sudo | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, you edit the file /etc/rc.local (Make one) and enter the command to run what you want in that file. ie: /path/to/rununreal & | 11:56 |
| secion8 | what is the url to paste a log, I need an expert to interpet my kernel log, i am not able to install to disk. | 11:56 |
| jrib | !paste | secion8 | 11:56 |
| ubottu | secion8: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 11:56 |
| natalisushka | macpo3: Ok, I am in terminal now and the list is there. I have access to the file system of the installed ubuntu, and I can change ifconfig accordingly! But I don't know what exactly must be written there | 11:56 |
| Deadboys | dr_willis if the path to unreal is /root/Unreal3.2 and the command to start it is ./unreal start | 11:56 |
| _21h_ | natalisushka, sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 && sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 | 11:57 |
| Deadboys | then what do i enter | 11:57 |
| _21h_ | eto set' podnimet | 11:57 |
| secion8 | k thanks, will be back. | 11:57 |
| _21h_ | sudo ifconfig eth0 up zapustit interfeis | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, the command is NOT ./unreal start to start it.. You use the full path.. ./ is a 'short path' so use the full path /root/whatever/whatever start | 11:57 |
| MaXXXX | jrib, sorry for the delay.. Did it, then rebooted... but still get the same error | 11:57 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | does anyone know why the network manager wouldn't be up after installing intrepid??? | 11:58 |
| Deadboys | dr_willis | 11:58 |
| Deadboys | the command is ./unreal start | 11:58 |
| _21h_ | natalisushka, kak perenastroir xorg znaesh? | 11:58 |
| natalisushka | _21h_: the wired connection doesn't use a static IP, it detected the connection automatically once I plugged it | 11:58 |
| Deadboys | when im in dir Unreal3.2 | 11:58 |
| Deadboys | i type ./unreal start | 11:58 |
| Milos_SD | Hello everybody... I have a problem with Evolution... Can't start it... It just use 60% of CPU ... :( | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, you are NOT goign to be in that dir.. so yoyu MUST use the full path to that command.. | 11:58 |
| Deadboys | and it starts the ircd | 11:58 |
| OxDeadC0de | deadboys the full command to start (don't confuse paths), is /root/Unreal3.2/unreal start, the command is NOT ./ , ./ is a shortcut which points to whatever directory you are in | 11:58 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka sorry - what I'm suggesting is that you use the "ifconfig" command from an 8.04 terminal to see what the interface params are, and then use it from the command line with those params when you're running the console recovery mode to manually set the interface up | 11:58 |
| prince_jammys | Deadboys: no, the dot means 'present directory'. use the full path of the script | 11:58 |
| natalisushka | _21h_: ya ne govoryu khorosho po ruski :) | 11:59 |
| Bsims | What happened to the burn animation on compiz | 11:59 |
| secion8 | Can one of you experts please tell me what is wrong with my log. I am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 to disk but it does not seem to write to the drive. I reboot and get an unbootable devive error. | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, full path = /root/whatever/whatever start | 11:59 |
| Deadboys | okay | 11:59 |
| secion8 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65136/ | 11:59 |
| _21h_ | natalisushka, togda sudo dhclient eth0 | 11:59 |
| Deadboys | so what file do i edit again | 11:59 |
| Deadboys | rc.local in init.d? | 11:59 |
| Neff | Hi everybody! After the upgrade to the ibex Cheese doesn't work anymore. When I start it the light of my integrated uvc webcam turns on, but I cannot see anything in Cheese window (it remains blank). After few seconds anyway Cheese freezes, and I have to manually force it to close. I tried opening it from the therminal so that I could see the errors, but Cheese dosen't report any error. I tested the webcam with skype and it works... so how can I | 11:59 |
| OxDeadC0de | that's the one | 11:59 |
| _21h_ | natalisushka, uchis' :) skoro mi zahvatim mir :) | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | Deadboys, NO.. /etc/rc.local | 11:59 |
| Milos_SD | Errors are something like this: (evolution:20600): camel-WARNING **: Could not find key entry for word 'америки': Success | 11:59 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka I don't think you need to actually edit anything at the moment, you just need to figure out what commands to issue from the recovery console to turn ethernet / tcp/ip on | 11:59 |
| Deadboys | :q | 12:00 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: ok. What I would do is check /var/lib/dpkg/status-old for differences. I would fix my /var/lib/dpkg/status using that file (remember the messed up lines we found before) | 12:00 |
| natalisushka | macpo3: yes, i see, however, I want to be really certain of what I must type in the console of recovery mode so I may not switch back here for help if anything is missed | 12:00 |
| NET||abuse | hi all, i'm on intrepid, on my eeepc and my desktop machine, i'm trying to get skype working on either of them, neither will let me use the mic, seems like the exact same issue on both, I went into skype options and set audio preferences, sound in and out and ringing all to pulse, i've tried switching the sound out option to the 4 various options available but can't get it to work. i try the test call and it doesn't record my voice at all. | 12:00 |
| jonty-comp | natalisushka: it should just be 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up', it depends what the network is set up like | 12:00 |
| natalisushka | macpo3: that's why I am here, to figure out with your help :) | 12:00 |
| Bsims | Would it kill ubuntu to Not change how it names secondary drives each version I am getting sick of having to rebuild my amarok DB just because Ubuntu can't make up its mind | 12:00 |
| MaXXXX | jrib, yes... will try and keep you posted | 12:00 |
| natalisushka | jonty-comp: alright! I'll write that down :) | 12:00 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | can anyone give any info at all????? | 12:01 |
| missioncontrol | is there a way to deploy sharepoint like service in ubuntu? | 12:01 |
| jonty-comp | like, dhcp, dns, gateway, and so on | 12:01 |
| jonty-comp | it might be eth1 if you have an odd computer though :P | 12:01 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: it's probably a good idea to make a backup of the file | 12:01 |
| macpo3 | natalisushka ok, well I've never had to do this myself, I just know what I'd try if I had that problem | 12:01 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | the network manager isn't there to try to connect to networks | 12:01 |
| jonty-comp | as long as it isn't wireless | 12:01 |
| danbh_intrepid | Bsims: whats a "secondary" drive? | 12:01 |
| secion8 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65136/ | 12:01 |
| danbh_intrepid | Bsims: just an extra harddrive you have? | 12:01 |
| Bsims | danbh_intrepid: correct I have my music on it | 12:01 |
| natalisushka | macpo3: I guess I'll go to recovery now. I may be back soon! (hopefully not :)) | 12:02 |
| skyfaller_ppc | hey folks, when I try to start xchat-gnome on my new Intrepid install, it just says "segmentation fault" on the command line and quits. Any ideas? I think it might be https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/enchant/+bug/261596 but I can't tell | 12:02 |
| jonty-comp | natalisushka: good luck | 12:02 |
| Bsims | danbh_intrepid: And without fail every upgrade Ubuntu, changes the name it mounts it under so I have to rebuild the amarok database for no good reason | 12:02 |
| * jonty-comp hates recovery mode because he has a wireless card | 12:02 | |
| danbh_intrepid | Bsims: you should mount it in fstab, or maybe amorak can use uuids? But if you mount it in fstab, you can set the name where it mounts | 12:02 |
| imotic | which device in /dev corresponds to the floppy drive (or how to i find out)? | 12:03 |
| danbh_intrepid | thus avoiding ubuntu's naming scheme, whatever that is | 12:03 |
| Ohmu | Is there any way to convert mp4 to mp3? My poor m8 can't transfer his music to his new apple, cos he's already shared it 5 times or something. And he has purchased all his tracks!! | 12:03 |
| Bsims | Oh I know I can... but the point is I shouldn't have to... | 12:03 |
| jim_p | imotic: /dev/fd0 | 12:03 |
| MaT-dg | MrWizeGuy1983, I have the same problem as you I guess, there is no icon right? | 12:03 |
| danbh_intrepid | Bsims: are you doing this through places? | 12:03 |
| Bsims | danbh_intrepid: Oh btw did intrepid get rid of the burn close animation for you as well | 12:03 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | right mat | 12:03 |
| Deadboys | !paste | 12:03 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 12:03 |
| jrib | Bsims, danbh_intrepid: if you set labels (see !label), then it will use the label for the partition | 12:04 |
| _2 | imotic /dev/fd0* actually | 12:04 |
| secion8 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65136/ Anyone have any ideas on this? Or is it even the right log i am posting? | 12:04 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | MaT-dg, there's no icon and i don't have any idea how to start it | 12:04 |
| Bsims | !label | 12:04 |
| ubottu | To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. | 12:04 |
| Bsims | danbh_intrepid: places? | 12:04 |
| Deadboys | okay | 12:04 |
| imotic | jim_p and _2, i don't have a /dev/fd0 :/ i have a /dev/fd/0 through /dev/fd/3 ... but there's nothing in /etc/fstab about any of them | 12:04 |
| Deadboys | this is the file i have | 12:04 |
| Bsims | I just mount it | 12:04 |
| Deadboys | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65139/ | 12:04 |
| Deadboys | how do i need to edit it | 12:04 |
| danbh_intrepid | Bsims: nvm, I would go with jrib's suggestion | 12:04 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | things seem faster, but that won't help if i can't get online with wireless | 12:04 |
| Deadboys | i have no idea what execution bits are or anything like that | 12:05 |
| jonty-comp | Hmm, I just realised there was a /dev/disk/by-id | 12:05 |
| _2 | imotic if you want to write a 720k 3.5" floppy you use /dev/fd0u720 and if you need to specify 1440k you use /dev/fd0/u1440 ... so on and so forth. | 12:05 |
| jonty-comp | that's really useful for automounting my card reader on the server :D | 12:05 |
| MaXXXX | jrib, will do... thanks you very much for your help | 12:05 |
| lorenzo | hi, my Hardy is being weird. When I start it, it takes forever to load the icontray, it asks for the pwd for the keyring (all of a sudden, never used to do it before), Firrefox has lost all my settings (bookmarks, homepage), i cant exit via the exit button (it makes the 2 panels disappear and I have to do ctr alt backspace to restart). What is goin on? can anyone help please? thanks | 12:05 |
| MaT-dg | MrWizeGuy1983, yeah same problem here, did you have wicd in 8.04? | 12:06 |
| skyfaller_ppc | Bsims: if you want to fix the Burn animation, it's actually pretty easy | 12:06 |
| jrib | MaXXXX: no problem | 12:06 |
| Bsims | skyfaller_ppc: I don't even see it anymore | 12:06 |
| xc1024 | hi there | 12:06 |
| imotic | _2 like i said i don't have a /dev/fd0 | 12:06 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | MaT-dg, what wicd? i used wireless in 8.04 with no trouble at all | 12:06 |
| _2 | imotic you are using udev and you haven't accessed the fd0 yet. sudo modprobe floppy | 12:06 |
| skyfaller_ppc | Bsims: just go to the CompizConfig Settings Manager (under System -> Preferences) | 12:06 |
| Bsims | skyfaller_ppc: do tell please | 12:06 |
| alanbshepard77 | How can I get ubuntu to burn DVDs? I've tried everything. Google and the forums are of no help. This appears to be a very common issue. :( | 12:07 |
| Bsims | Yeah and under animations, they removed it in Ibex | 12:07 |
| SmokeyD | hey people. In as nfs mounted dir I have a file called .nfs0000xxxxx | 12:07 |
| alst | Hi, quick one. Can I install 8.10 on my ps3? Which ver should I use? As I understand there isn't a powerPc ver avail? | 12:07 |
| _2 | imotic or use the one in the static devices /dev/.static/dev/fd0* | 12:07 |
| imotic | _2 thanks | 12:07 |
| SmokeyD | does anybody know what this file is? | 12:07 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | MaT-dg, i'm going to try installing the backports | 12:07 |
| prower | Hello :> I am using intrepid currently...playing the Linux version of quake wars, i can no longer join games even though single player works fine :< has anyone else seen this? | 12:07 |
| skyfaller_ppc | Bsims: scroll down to "Effects" and enable the "Animations Add-on" | 12:07 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i hate intrepid so far, it messed up my wireless | 12:07 |
| xc1024 | yeah, you can install it - google | 12:07 |
| skyfaller_ppc | Bsims: that adds a number of effects to Compiz, including the Burn animation, that do not appear otherwise | 12:08 |
| Bsims | There we go | 12:08 |
| skyfaller_ppc | Bsims: you may have to restart GNOME to see the change | 12:08 |
| Bsims | thanks | 12:08 |
| skyfaller_ppc | no prob :) | 12:08 |
| * _2 waits for imotic to write with dd to his /dev/fd/0 hehhe... | 12:10 | |
| Bsims | Now to de-uglify and un-annoy kde 4.x | 12:10 |
| * Bsims is slightly pissed they droped 3.5 support | 12:10 | |
| Tyrath | There's a type glitch where when I hit certain combinations of keys one of the characters printed would continuously print | 12:11 |
| Tyrath | - how can I solve this? | 12:11 |
| _2 | bsims good luck with that. | 12:11 |
| almostdvs | i want to upgrade using the live cd, what do i have to keep in mind as far as partitions go? | 12:11 |
| Tyrath | i'm on intrepid btw | 12:11 |
| Tyrath | also my graphic drivers failed on intrepid | 12:11 |
| === runpain2 is now known as Bill_the_Barber | ||
| Tyrath | I need to use the default/safe graphic driver | 12:12 |
| Tyrath | but I have an Nvidia video card and I want to be able to use it | 12:12 |
| _2 | almostdvs if you delete it or overwrite it, it's gone ? | 12:12 |
| almostdvs | that's what i'm hoping for. | 12:12 |
| _2 | almostdvs make backups of anything important first. | 12:13 |
| velko | almostdvs: if you already have an installation which separates / and /home you don't have to repartition | 12:13 |
| rc55 | Is there any way to have a rolling total of up and downstream bandwidth used in Ubuntu over the period of a month for 3G datacards? | 12:13 |
| _2 | velko he doesn't have to repartition at all. | 12:13 |
| velko | rc55: maybe you'll find vnstat interesting | 12:14 |
| Tyrath | I think part of the problem is that I havent successfully rolled up to intrepid | 12:14 |
| Tyrath | - i rolled up the day before intrepid stable was released | 12:14 |
| _2 | you're not root. i'm root! | 12:14 |
| Tyrath | as a result i think I missed necessary updates | 12:14 |
| attonbitusira1 | Anyone here trying nvidia 8800 gt under ibex ? | 12:14 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | MaT-dg, i fixed it | 12:14 |
| oobe | does anyone know what happens to my custom kernel after i upgrade to intrepid will i be using the intrepid default kernel or will i still be using my custom | 12:14 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | MaT-dg, install the backports and reboot | 12:15 |
| almostdvs | well, i already dual boot, so i guess what i'm asking is since my hard drive is already partitioned would the option i want be use entire disk, and it would just use only the partition that is already devoted to ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| Tyrath | attonbitusira1: I'm using nvidia GO 7400 and it failed after I installed ibex | 12:15 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | can someone make sure MaT-dg gets the message to install backports and reboot to fix his problem? | 12:15 |
| _2 | oobe it "should" add a new line in the menu.lst for the default kernel without removing your custom heavy on the "should" | 12:16 |
| rc55 | velko: thanks :D | 12:16 |
| oobe | _2, thanks | 12:16 |
| velko | almostdvs: make sure you have separate partitions for the system and your data, else you'll end up losing your data | 12:16 |
| _2 | almostdvs no. | 12:16 |
| delfick | hello, I just installed intrepid on my computer (fresh installation). By chance I looked at the boot folder on the partition I just installed it to, and it is empty, what should I do to make it not empty so that it will boot when I restart (haven't restarted yet, just assuming it won't work :)) | 12:17 |
| oobe | i will check grub before rebooting | 12:17 |
| _2 | almostdvs if you select "use entire disk" it's supposed to wipe out everything you have. | 12:17 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| almostdvs | so it's hdd not partitions, ok | 12:18 |
| almostdvs | so... | 12:18 |
| _2 | custom disk partitioning. | 12:18 |
| almostdvs | i'm probably making this more complicated than it needs to be, i just want to make sure i wipe where ubuntu is and not touch my windows partition | 12:18 |
| velko | delfick: make sure you have installed grub and a kernel | 12:19 |
| Inunda | Hi all. How can i put the new release on a pen drive? | 12:19 |
| _2 | select the area you want to use as the rootfs and let it format it. almostdvs | 12:19 |

| m41n1 | hi | 12:20 |
| runpain2 | Hello | 12:21 |
| _2 | almostdvs M$ misrepresented partitions as "logical disks" a long time ago and never recovered from the error. | 12:21 |
| m41n1 | after booting the ubuntu-liveCD, could i mount the ISO file of the CD (i have in a pen drive) to install linux from that iso file? | 12:21 |
| m41n1 | and not from the CD? | 12:21 |
| delfick | velko: how ? I just installed it from the livecd........(am still in the livecd) | 12:22 |
| _2 | m41n1 yes. if you know how. | 12:22 |
| nikitis | Is it time to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 12:22 |
| velko | delfick: use synaptic, apt-get or aptitude to install these packages | 12:22 |
| m41n1 | hehe | 12:22 |
| m41n1 | how? | 12:22 |
| m41n1 | is the main question | 12:22 |
| _2 | m41n1 i was afraid of that. | 12:23 |
| runpain2 | Legend2440 not here today? | 12:23 |
| ikonia | runpain2: do you see his nick ? | 12:23 |
| cyptrix | Hi all | 12:23 |
| runpain2 | nope | 12:23 |
| Tyrath | hey does ibex have bugs or is it that i've installed a pre-realease? | 12:23 |
| ikonia | runpain2: there you go then | 12:23 |
| cyptrix | just upgraded to 8.10 (from 8.04) | 12:23 |
| runpain2 | ikona thanks | 12:24 |
| Tyrath | cyptrix: let me guess. your graphics cards failed? | 12:24 |
| runpain2 | ikonia can you help me | 12:24 |
| nikitis | question, how come sudo apt-get dist-upgrade produces no results? | 12:24 |
| cyptrix | can't boot off the 2.6.27-7 kernel, however 2.6.24-21 works | 12:24 |
| ikonia | runpain2: perhaps | 12:24 |
| prower | no one else is seeing quake wars problems in 8.10? :< | 12:24 |
| _2 | m41n1 the mounting process is pretty streight forward. the rest is very dependant. sudo mount /dev/sda* /mnt ;sudo mount -o loop /mnt/file.iso /some/place | 12:24 |
| mitur | I have installed NVIDIA X-Server Settings to run twinscreen. It works perfectly, the only problem is that the settings does not save to file | 12:24 |

| chaos1 | hello. I was reading about the new features in 8.10 (I am probably going to stick with 8.04 for a little while) and I saw a new feature that allows you to install ubuntu on a usb key. what package is that? I saw flashybrid but was not sure if that was the right package | 12:32 |
| nikitis | ikonia, i know, i just want a changelog | 12:33 |

| bingungajaa | oxdeadc0de : thx | 12:33 |
| ziroday | lucio12345: this is due to you not having the nvidia drivers installed. What card do you have? | 12:33 |
| OxDeadC0de | bingungajaa: then next time you log into gnome it will run :) | 12:33 |
| tARrAScH | _2: Thanks alot anyway :), But you got your VirtualBox and OpenOffice upgraded ? | 12:34 |

| _2 | tARrAScH dialup doesnt like frequent upgrades. | 12:34 |
| ziroday | lucio12345: thats an ati card, you need ati drivers. However support for that card was dropped in 8.10. You will not be able to enable compiz | 12:34 |
| tARrAScH | _2: I see | 12:34 |
| lucio12345 | in Hardware Drivers i have ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX grphics drivers with a green led | 12:35 |
| chaos1 | ziorday: its not there. just my users that are on my system. (I have 8.04) | 12:35 |
| _2 | tARrAScH let me rephrase. dialup doesn't like network installation of any kind. | 12:35 |
| ziroday | chaos1: you need 8.10 for the guest account feature | 12:35 |
| _2 | [nkbansal_8318(n=nkbansal@203.200.95.130)] just testing | 12:35 |

| cabrini | _2, what about a command to restart gnome? | 13:03 |
| bullgard4 | What menu item switches on the 'popularity contest' (or similar)? | 13:03 |

| ziroday | cpro: don't worry about those warnings. Are you certain that you have "Normal Releases" selected | 13:04 |
| cabrini | jtisme, I was doing it manually with a shell script though. Are you talking about persistence because that seems too complicated? | 13:05 |
| _2 | cabrini OOMK is the kernels "out of memory kill" sub rutine that starts knocking off things that haven't been active, when you run out of ram. it's probably not that. but the live cd can eat ram. | 13:05 |

| ziroday | lesshaste: kill that process | 13:05 |
| jtisme | cabrini, there is a procedure for saving settings to thumb drive on live cd | 13:05 |
| emorris | ziroday: what's wrong with pgrep firefox? | 13:05 |

| Sylphid|work | is it possible in a multi head setup to have each head display a separate workspace from the same instance of X and preferably be able to switch them independently from the other heads? | 13:16 |
| cabrini | can I easily make my own copies of a livecd? | 13:16 |
| wollinger | Hi! | 13:16 |
| neoice | cabrini: if you have a CD burner, probably | 13:16 |
| Hammer89 | anyone else having issues with wifi not working after coming out of standby? | 13:16 |
| ziroday | cabrini: what do you mean, modified or direct copies? | 13:16 |
| erUSUL | cabrini: yes just like any other cd | 13:16 |
| natalisushka | macpo3: Hey, it's me again (natalisushka) .. I didn't succeed :/ | 13:16 |
| jtisme | cabrini, k3b does that | 13:16 |
| cabrini | can I modify files and then burn the copy? | 13:16 |
| tARrAScH | Hammer89 , yea, but only solution I found was not go into any power saving mode :( | 13:17 |
| kriston | THANK YOU for the person who put the note about DVD releases only having extra language files. I was wondering why it took so long to remove packages after installation and I didn't even have any more packages installed. Kudos! | 13:17 |
| natalisushka | Hi, I've been upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 and I got some problems with internet connection that lead to some broken packages. my main issue now is that I can't login to the system, I am stuck at the login screen with keyboard not functioning, nor usb mouse (only mouse pad). The only thing that works with the laptop is the caps lock, it swtiches the light on and off. I have access to the recovery mode but with no inter | 13:17 |
| cabrini | ziroday, modified | 13:17 |
| Rob2222 | Tehnoviking - your the King ! Cheers BUD! | 13:17 |
| neoice | I know the compiz-extras arent supported, but where can I start looking to figure out why they might be broken? | 13:17 |
| Hammer89 | tARrAScH: hrm... that's frustrating... do you know if it's been reported yet? | 13:17 |
| ziroday | cabrini: as long as you know what you are doing, of course | 13:17 |
| tARrAScH | Hammer89: No idea, sorry | 13:17 |
| WhiteDiesel | ubottu: Thanks. doesn't really tell me much about my question. or maybe i'm not understanding. | 13:17 |
| cabrini | ziroday, there's not an integrity checking system? | 13:18 |
| ziroday | cabrini: not if you have modified it | 13:18 |
| neoice | cabrini: why would there be? | 13:18 |
| Hammer89 | tARrAScH: Alrighty... I'll check when I get back from my next flight... if not, I'll report it | 13:18 |
| neoice | there's checksumming to make sure the data is what you think it is | 13:18 |
| cabrini | neoice: to stop corrupt cds from booting | 13:18 |
| wollinger | Hi everybody. I've got a question: With 8.10, is LVM now part of the desktop-CD or is it still only available on the alternate-cd? | 13:18 |
| neoice | corrupt CDs just wont boot :P | 13:18 |
| netyire | hi all, I'm trying to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 with a 8.10 disc on hand, is it possible to use the disc to upgrade instead of letting the package manager fetch the packages from the internet? | 13:18 |
| ziroday | cabrini: if you modify it the checksum changes | 13:18 |
| ziroday | netyire: only if its the alternate disc | 13:19 |
| === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo | ||
| cpro | ziroday is it server for united states ??? | 13:19 |
| cabrini | ziroday, I have to recalculate and modify the checksum? | 13:19 |

| Hondo_Kitsune | I am trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10, but it will not let me. It gives error "Could not calculate upgrade". I have tried upgrading from CD and from network. What can I do? | 13:19 |
| cpro | ziroday ya i did that bfore | 13:19 |
| ziroday | cabrini: of course. You have modified the cd. things have changed | 13:19 |

| Junee_moetz | surabaya | 13:19 |
| velko | WhiteDiesel: in order to persist changes for shared folders they have to be listed in a file called fstab. the link ubotu gave you is about how to edit this file | 13:19 |
| netyire | ziroday: uh oh, looks like I downloaded the wrong one; how do you go about using the alternate install disc to update the system? | 13:19 |
| cpro | ziroday i will try one more time | 13:20 |
| Bigmack83_ | how would i rebuild my video drivers? i cant get the proper resolution anymore. im running with 640x480. my restricted drivers are already in use | 13:20 |

| ziroday | !upgrade | netyire it should say here | 13:20 |
| ubottu | netyire it should say here: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 13:20 |
| velko | WhiteDiesel: this is a system file and is writable only for the administrator | 13:20 |
| ziroday | cpro: make sure you update after changing | 13:20 |
| WhiteDiesel | velko: which i am | 13:20 |
| velko | WhiteDiesel: how do you try to edit the file? | 13:20 |
| ziroday | cpro: then open up update manager with gksu "update-manager -c" | 13:20 |
| netyire | ziroday: will look it up; thanks! =-P | 13:21 |
| favro | !sudo | WhiteDiesel | 13:21 |

| cpro | ziroday ya i did but still it says system is update | 13:21 |
| ziroday | cpro: what does do-release-upgrade say? | 13:21 |

| jsquared | how do I tell what version of Ubuntu is running on a particular machine if I have access to the command prompt? | 13:21 |

| WhiteDiesel | velko: obviously i have no idea what i'm doing. :'( | 13:21 |
| jrib | !version | jsquared | 13:21 |
| ubottu | jsquared: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 13:21 |
| jsquared | jrib: thanks! | 13:22 |

| jrib | Dorobo18jp: how are you extracting? | 13:23 |
| ziroday | cpro: in the command line what does do-release-upgrade say? | 13:23 |
| jsquared | thomc: 500 GB is 465 GiB (disk space is reported in GiB, not GB). then there's 5% on top of that reserved, which is another 25 GB, and then some is overhead for the file system. all together that puts you at about 435 | 13:23 |
| Dorobo18jp | right clicking exctract | 13:23 |
| jrib | Dorobo18jp: extract it and then copy. Or use the command line | 13:23 |

| velko | WhiteDiesel: then you have to insert an entry for it. unfortunately i'm at work right now and cannot pull the exact syntax out of my head. either use the link ubottu gave you or ask here what do you have to put in the file | 13:24 |
| emorris | I have an external hard disk with a ext2 partition, but when I plug this in, I want certain permissions set. Should I do this in fstab, mtab or something else? | 13:24 |

| WhiteDiesel | velko: thanks. | 13:24 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: try to boot with the LiveCD (the normal installation CD), and write back if you have started | 13:24 |

| Dorobo18jp | jrib it wont let me paste it in the directory | 13:25 |
| jsquared | when the list of changes isn't available from the update manager, is there a place I can go to view it manually? | 13:25 |
| ferronica_ | jrib: amd stands for ? | 13:25 |
| cpro | ziroday this is the output http://pastebin.com/m3d207426 | 13:25 |
| jrib | ziroday: yep, but it's outdated :/ Apparently it's supposed to work with uvcvideo driver in the new kernel :/ | 13:25 |
| jrib | ferronica_: amd64 means 64bit | 13:26 |
| Yimpolo | Buh... I'm using the screen command and I don't know how to kill windows I've created >_> | 13:26 |
| ziroday | cpro: then there is an update, gksu "update-manager -c" should list it | 13:26 |
| nikitis | ferronica, amd = advanced micro devices. | 13:26 |
| velko | Yimpolo: "ctrl+a d" | 13:26 |
| jrib | jsquared: apt-get source package and read debian/changelog would be one way | 13:26 |
| ferronica_ | jrib: amd means?? | 13:26 |
| Yimpolo | Oh.... | 13:26 |
| blip- | hi, just noticed NTFS is bieng mounted with write ability by default on Kubuntu 8.04... that's not very safe... | 13:27 |
| kcrly | xkill | 13:27 |
| WhiteDiesel | velko/ubottu: i don't think thats what i'm looking for but thanks. | 13:27 |
| jrib | ferronica_: I told you. amd64 means 64bit. That's just what it is called for historical reasons | 13:27 |
| ferronica_ | jrib: amd = amd system only ? | 13:27 |
| ziroday | jrib: I thought it would be, you had obviously done the google search before. My bad | 13:27 |
| Frozen-Solid | okay so I'm using Ubuntu Server Edition 8.04 on a brand new bladecenter production environment. I've never used ubuntu before until last week when we got this setup up and running. What is the best, most reliable, and least downtime required way to upgrade to 8.10? Is 8.04 to 8.10 an upgrade we should be eager to move to, or is 8.04 good enough to run in production for a while? | 13:27 |
| jrib | ferronica_: no | 13:27 |
| cpro | ziroday gksu "update-manager -c" is the command right ?? | 13:27 |
| kriston | blip-: NTFS write access has been working for years. | 13:27 |
| ziroday | cpro: correct | 13:27 |
| jsquared | ferronica_: amd64 is just the name of the specification for 64-bit architectures (they invented it) | 13:27 |
| Yimpolo | Okay | 13:27 |
| ferronica_ | jrib: amd has no full form ? | 13:27 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: I am in LiveCD. What do you mean write back if I have started? | 13:27 |
| jrib | ferronica_: I don't understand your question | 13:27 |
| * outbackwifi wouldnt upgrade a LTS from production environment | 13:27 | |
| Yimpolo | Ctrl+a d just detaches me from the session... that's not what I want >_> | 13:27 |
| ferronica_ | jrib: okay | 13:27 |
| Hammer89 | tARrAScH: you there? | 13:28 |
| tARrAScH | Hammer89: Yes | 13:28 |
| cabrini | damn, modifying a livecd is harder than I guessed | 13:28 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: Is it possible to fix this here? From LIVECD? | 13:28 |
| nikitis | jrib, ferronica is trying to ascertain if amd64 bit will work with intel 64 bit. | 13:28 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: okay... yes, it should be | 13:28 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: how? | 13:28 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: open a console | 13:28 |
| Frozen-Solid | Yimpolo: what are you trying to do? | 13:28 |
| outbackwifi | Frozen-Solid: id suggest you stick to 8.04 because its a longterm Support edition; 8.10 will last only for 6 months | 13:28 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: I am there | 13:28 |
| Hammer89 | tARrAScH: are you using an atheros wifi card? | 13:28 |
| Kaigeos | I'm using Intrepid now, I really like it. :) | 13:28 |
| jrib | ferronica_: yes, amd64 works on intel as well | 13:28 |
| velko | Yimpolo: sorry. my bad. just type "exit" in the window | 13:28 |
| Yimpolo | I'm actually connected to my box via SSH, I ran the screen command to have multiple consoles going at once | 13:28 |
| Frozen-Solid | outbackwifi: 8.10 says it'll be supported til 2010 | 13:28 |
| ziroday | jrib: have you seen this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/251838 and have you got isight-firmware-tools installed? | 13:29 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: do you know the partion which holds the / (root) filesystem of your installed system | 13:29 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: then? | 13:29 |
| Yimpolo | Just need to know how to close some of the consoles | 13:29 |
| Frozen-Solid | outbackwifi: and we're ont doing any support contracts as of yet, for now we're self-supporting | 13:29 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: dont hurry :) | 13:29 |
| Yimpolo | exit? >_> Should've thought of that | 13:29 |
| mathias__ | have a problem here, after upgrading to 8.10 samba wont work as i should, think its releated to 81.0 upgrade. The problem is that i mount some shares on boot via fstab and before the upgrade it worked as i should but after it mounts all shares BUT one ... that one wont mount. If i monunt it manually via a termnial window it works ...havent changed anything in fstab or on the client, also the upgrade asked me if i want new smb.conf | 13:29 |
| mathias__ | or keep the old one and i choosed to keep the old one ... any ckues ?? | 13:29 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: yes | 13:29 |
| tARrAScH | Hammer89: I have no idea, I wasnt even knowing there was something called 'wifi card' :p | 13:29 |
| emorris | I have an external hard disk with a ext2 partition, but when I plug this in, I want certain permissions set. Should I do this in fstab, mtab or something else? | 13:29 |
| Yimpolo | D'oh! typing exit works xD Thanks velko. | 13:29 |
| Pici | !amd64 | ferronica_ | 13:29 |
| Hammer89 | tARrAScH: lol... I just tried this: http://tinyurl.com/652ttm and it fixed my problem | 13:29 |
| ubottu | ferronica_: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 13:29 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: mount it, if its not already mounted in /media | 13:29 |
| nikitis | jrib, I can see how that would be misleading though. They could easily lable it just 64-bit, or emt/amd64 | 13:29 |
| irfan | hi | 13:29 |
| cabrini | how can I check how much memory is free, specifically on a livecd? | 13:29 |
| prince_jammys | Yimpolo: C-a k | 13:29 |
| Hammer89 | tARrAScH: might be worth a try for you too | 13:29 |
| kcrly | hi | 13:29 |
| outbackwifi | Frozen-Solid: you're the boss; i can only advise :) | 13:29 |
| r3z` | cabrini, top | 13:30 |
| DIFH-iceroot | cabrini: free -m | 13:30 |
| === r3z` is now known as r3z | ||
| prince_jammys | Yimpolo: or yeah, exit. | 13:30 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: it's mounted | 13:30 |
| OxDeadC0de | how do i create the guest account in 8.10? I upgraded from 8.04 and it never showed up | 13:30 |
| irfan | i am new on this | 13:30 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: I have access to it | 13:30 |
| Frozen-Solid | outbackwifi: i don't even konw if we're upgrading yet, i'm just supposed to look into the "best" way to upgrade | 13:30 |
| jsquared | nikitis: well, the convention is to use the name of the architecture that the package is compiled against | 13:30 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: then "sudo chroot" into it | 13:30 |
| tARrAScH | Hammer89: actually I got worse problems after returning from a hibernate/stand by, computer works like 10x slower | 13:30 |
| Frozen-Solid | will apt-get distro upgrade or whatever hte command is do a good safe job? | 13:30 |
| jsquared | nikitis: also, there's more than one "64-bit" implementation of things | 13:30 |
| Yimpolo | These command line clients are hard on the eyes | 13:30 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: Ok | 13:30 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: have internet connection in LiveCD mode? | 13:30 |
| nikitis | ferronica_, amd64 bit term comes from old die-hard programmers who at one time only had amd for 64 bit. As intel was late. | 13:30 |
| outbackwifi | Frozen-Solid: yes | 13:30 |
| Hammer89 | tARrAScH: ew... not cool | 13:30 |
| Frozen-Solid | on Mandriva i've always did a full format and reinstall, with the exception of my /home partition, but obviously that's not an ideal way for a prod environment | 13:30 |
| ferronica__ | jrib: my confusion cleared thanx :) just downloaded 64bit booted via ubuntu CD on option window when i select 1 option just hanged:( | 13:30 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: I am using it | 13:30 |
| ziroday | Frozen-Solid: the recommendation for those questions is always stay on the LTS, unless there is something you need in a non-lts release. You can ask for more in #ubuntu-server and the best way to upgrade on the server is running sudo do-release-upgrade | 13:30 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: true :) | 13:30 |
| jrib | ziroday: yep, but it fails to extract my copy of AppleUSBVideoSupport. So I never get a isight.fw file. I was hoping this wasn't needed though. There's a report from a macbook air user, that his isight works with the uvcvideo driver and doesn't mention running anything | 13:31 |
| cpro | cpro its not working this is the error Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. | 13:31 |
| nikitis | jsquared, True, which is why my first suggestion should be labeled as just "64-bit" | 13:31 |
| cabrini | DIFH-iceroot, thanks | 13:31 |
| Frozen-Solid | ziroday: awesome thanks. didn't realize there was a server chan | 13:31 |
| jsquared | nikitis: hmmm... I'm pretty sure it comes from the name of the architecture, not from "die-hard programmers" | 13:31 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: than try just aptitude update/upgrade and see what happens | 13:31 |
| Dorobo18jp | ok does any know or a weather screenlet or desklet that works ? | 13:31 |
| esay | hi | 13:31 |
| DIFH-iceroot | cabrini: np | 13:31 |
| ziroday | jrib: well thats all I had. Good luck | 13:31 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: aha! | 13:31 |
| |ns|nR8 | how many MB will my connection have to download to upgrade distro from 8.04 | 13:31 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: and that's iut? | 13:31 |
| jrib | ziroday: thanks | 13:31 |
| komotheit | Frozen-Solid: The best way to upgrade will always be to use the Alternate CD as a repository, shut down access to ubuntu servers, then use the distro upgrade command. | 13:31 |
| Frozen-Solid | after an upgrade, i'm assuming a quick init 0 and restart of the server is best? | 13:31 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: if it works... yes | 13:31 |
| jrib | |ns|nR8: depends on what you have installed | 13:31 |
| jsquared | nikitis: ia64 packages are 64-bit, for example, but you don't want those if you're running a desktop machine | 13:31 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: and that's it* that should do the work? | 13:31 |
| nikitis | jsquared, I'm just saying, you will always get that question asked until it is renamed | 13:31 |
| |ns|nR8 | ah k jrib | 13:32 |
| Dusk_Bey | i have a legacy nvidia card and have problems with 8.10. how can i rollback to 8.04 again??is there a way?? | 13:32 |
| esay | I have a problem at 8.10 version | 13:32 |
| K-O-D | I am unable to get the nvidia accelerated graphics driver working | 13:32 |
| dr_willis | Dorobo18jp, thheres also the google 'widgets' you can get :) | 13:32 |
| K-O-D | how do I go about doing this? | 13:32 |
| jrib | Dusk_Bey: no, you have to reinstall if that's really what you want to do | 13:32 |
| esay | my graphics card is ge force mx4000 | 13:32 |
| esay | and | 13:32 |
| mathias__ | did anyone say something to me due the samba problem .. didnt see .... sorry | 13:32 |
| Pici | !enter | esay | 13:32 |
| ubottu | esay: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 13:32 |
| nikitis | jsquared, Yes, but better names are needed for less confusion. I'm not saying I disagree as to why they are named that way, but it is none-the-less, confusing to the general public. | 13:32 |
| velko | natalisushka: you have to chroot to the directory where your installation is mounted first. else you'll "apt-get update" the live session | 13:32 |
| jsquared | nikitis: I guess that's true | 13:32 |
| dr_willis | Dorobo18jp, thheres a weather applet for the gnome panel also | 13:32 |
| Frozen-Solid | komotheit: oh. that's an interesting idea | 13:32 |
| sea | hello? | 13:33 |
| MaT-dg | Do I have to create a partition for the swap file when manually partitioning in a 8.10 install? | 13:33 |
| Frozen-Solid | not sure if that's important though... we've got pretty crazy redundancy here | 13:33 |
| Dorobo18jp | you would not have a link to that kind Dr? | 13:33 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: velko I am now inside the installed system, I typed sudo chroot /media/disk and got root@ubuntu: .. BUT | 13:33 |
| slobad23 | any of you lovely people out there like to help me out by pointing me towards some ebooks our websites for ubuntu server basics please :) | 13:33 |
| cpro | ziroday its not working this is the error Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. | 13:33 |
| Dusk_Bey | jrib, thanx | 13:33 |
| nikitis | jsquared, unfortunately, us die-hard original linux users must give up such ways if linux is to go mainstream. We can thank M$ for that. | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | Dorobo18jp, google.com for the google things. gnome panel has one allready installed | 13:33 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: velko sudo apt-get update doesn't seem to connect to the internet :/ | 13:33 |
| nikitis | jsquared, for dumbing down the public that is. | 13:33 |
| ziroday | cpro: so you see an upgrade now? | 13:34 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: what does it say? | 13:34 |
| komotheit | Frozen-Solid: When I went to upgrade via the web, my 7.10 box all crashed down because of the problems with the upgrade. Since then, I always use the alternate CD. | 13:34 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: maybe check /etc/apt/sources.conf | 13:34 |
| sea | i am a pig | 13:34 |
| velko | natalisushka: could you pastebin the content for your /etc/network/interfaces | 13:34 |
| sea | :) | 13:34 |
| znh | Hello. I'm searching for some application that can adjust my laptop's screen brightness. I had this in Gnome, but im in Xfce now | 13:34 |
| ziroday | sea: tell us all about it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:34 |
| znh | Please, suggestions/advice | 13:34 |
| nikitis | Sea, congratulations | 13:35 |
| ziroday | znh: you find it best to ask in #xubuntu | 13:35 |
| znh | ziroday, ill try that | 13:35 |
| cpro | ziroday can u please tell me the exact command that i have to type | 13:35 |
| velko | znh: you can use the exactly same applet in xfce | 13:35 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: one minute, pastebin doesn't work for some reason | 13:35 |
| nikitis | I'm impressed with the new speed of the upgrade servers. | 13:35 |
| natalisushka | velko: also one minute | 13:35 |
| znh | velko, how? | 13:35 |

| dev_ | does anyone have any idea of my current technical problem: My ping/traceroutes request is topnotch performance, but its still very slow. This problem persist both in WinXP and Ubuntu so I can exclude the OS behing an issue. I'm using DSL | 13:36 |

| tsb | In Arch, gnome 2.24's session-manger isn't working. Moreover, when I click log out, all the apps are simply killed and not properly shut down. Is this a problem in ubuntu 8.10 as well? (if it is, I'll stay at 8.04.1) | 13:37 |

| Pici | esay: Correct, the geforce4 series does not have a proprietary driver in 8.10, see http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#nVidia%20%22legacy%22%20video%20support | 13:37 |

| cpro | ziroday ya i did cli its working i think so | 13:38 |
| esay | Pici thank you | 13:38 |
| slobad23 | prince_jammys: does it cover what i need to know from scratch, or does it assume a lot of technical knowledge? | 13:38 |
| teamcobra | prower, I could probably fire up some openarena, but I'm at work | 13:38 |
| cpro | ziroday thanx a lot | 13:38 |
| jrib | tsb: how are you determining the apps are not properly shut down? | 13:38 |

| prince_jammys | slobad23: i don't remember :) | 13:38 |
| prower | teamcobra: so far etqw, nexuiz, openarena and urban terror are all not working | 13:38 |
| prince_jammys | slobad23: check it out. it's just a bunch of documentation | 13:38 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: velko I am using wireless connection on this LIVE CD, but I guess the interfaces are different with the installed system http://pastebin.ru/298054 | 13:38 |
| nikitis | GeForce 4 - 5 series is old. It is time for an upgrade of PC. And I don't think that is asking much. | 13:39 |
| slobad23 | prince_jammys: you know what, i just might do that! as soon as my 8.10 installation is finished :) | 13:39 |
| prower | teamcobra: intrepid is sending out udp packets with incorrect checksums and the games cannot connect | 13:39 |
| sliverchair | any complete tutorial/guide on compiling tar.gz on Ubuntu? | 13:39 |

| teamcobra | prower: d'oh! | 13:39 |
| jrib | sliverchair: you try to avoid them. Check if what you want is in the repositories first | 13:39 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: So you want me to ping: ua.archive.ubuntu.com ? | 13:39 |
| bahadunn | sliverchair: usually just untar, ./configure, make, make install | 13:39 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: yes | 13:39 |
| jrib | !compile > sliverchair | 13:39 |
| === clev is now known as clever | ||
| ubottu | sliverchair, please see my private message | 13:39 |
| prince_jammys | slobad23: it covers installation, etc. it's also available on the web, but it's practical to have it saved locally | 13:39 |
| bahadunn | sliverchair: depends on the software package though | 13:39 |
| prower | teamcobra: Yeah, this is a showstopper :< Sort of like the cd/dvd tray bug except worse | 13:39 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : does nvidia geforece 8600 supported for special effect ? earlier it won't work, but now yes, confused | 13:39 |
| sliverchair | jrib: yeah I always do aptitude | 13:39 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: should not interfere with the network-setup... afaik | 13:40 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: under live CD's system it's connected | 13:40 |
| tsb | Can someone using 8.10 verify that when you log out of gnome, applications are properly closed? | 13:40 |
| prower | at least the cd/dvd tray bug can be fixed | 13:40 |
| jrib | tsb: did you see my question? | 13:40 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, i hope so, because i have an 8600 GT, and it had better work. | 13:40 |
| stelt | Where can i see an overview of my hardware capabilities? | 13:40 |
| rockyrock | I installed the Nvidia driver (the one from nvidia.com) but it appears that i have some problems with the graphics. When i try to resize the System Monitor's window, it does this slowly, i.e i see like the shadows of the window. What's the problem?? I have nvidia 8500GT | 13:40 |
| tsb | jrib, no | 13:40 |
| jrib | tsb: how are you determining the apps are not properly shut down? | 13:40 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: under the installed system it takes a while before it responds then ping: unknown host ua.archive.ubuntu.com | 13:40 |
| sliverchair | bahadunn: so that's where it complicates, not all packages are simple | 13:40 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, did you restart after doing so? | 13:40 |
| rockyrock | i don't know if there are other steps i have to do | 13:40 |
| velko | dany_21a_: she uses wireless on the live cd and used to use wired on the broken install. maybe this is the reason the chrooted install cannot connect. but i'm really not sure | 13:40 |
| sea | how can I play APE music files? any help? | 13:41 |
| runpain2 | Hello i still have a problem understanding wireless driver installation can some one Help me with step by step Please | 13:41 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : u haven't try it yet ? , yes i restart, firstly i even can't enable the driver, but finally it goes well itself, strange | 13:41 |
| tsb | jrib, well, none of them saves their settings; firefox starts up with the crash-handler after logging in, xchat I had to quit manually otherwise I had to enter the favchannels etc everytime | 13:41 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: compare the /etc/resolv.conf inside and outside the chroot | 13:41 |
| OxDeadC0de | anybody know how to create the Guest account in 8.10? I upgraded from 8.04 and it's not there | 13:41 |
| stepha | _21h_ YOU ARE A RUSSIAN | 13:41 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, and what driver version are you using? | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | OxDeadC0de, sudo adduser guest ? | 13:41 |
| jrib | tsb: let me log out with firefox, one sec | 13:41 |
| tsb | jrib, note, this is in archlinux, NOT ubuntu. but I really hate that so if it is the same in ubuntu 8.10 and gnome 2.24 there I'll just stay at 8.04 and gnome 2.22 | 13:41 |
| runpain2 | Please | 13:41 |
| natalisushka | velko: yes, I guess it's because of that. Do you think changing the interfaces of the installed system might solve it? | 13:42 |
| tsb | jrib, cool, thanks. | 13:42 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: velko i always thought, network stuff is just handled by the running OS, not depending where you are chrooted... but it seems,, resolving is done dependend on that | 13:42 |
| KingFisher | test | 13:42 |
| sea | test what? | 13:42 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : 177 | 13:42 |
| gregge | I tried running the proprietary nvidia drivers, but when I tried to activate them it didn't download anything | 13:42 |
| velko | natalisushka: you may try to sync the installed "interfaces" with the live cd file | 13:42 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: you could try to ping the ip from inside the chroot which you get from the outside-chroot ping | 13:42 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: velko , any idea how I can connect to the wireless connection on the installed system? | 13:42 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, does it work now and stay working? | 13:42 |
| OxDeadC0de | dr_willis should I then chmod u-w /home/guest ? | 13:43 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: that should be connected... try above | 13:43 |
| prower | anyone else notice that their cd/dvd tray rapidly closes after you eject it? :< | 13:43 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : yah, strange huh ?? | 13:43 |
| === cabrini is now known as Guest4058 | ||
| _21h_ | stepha, and? | 13:43 |
| KingFisher | i installed linux for first time couple weeks ago!! it was ubuntu! | 13:43 |
| dr_willis | OxDeadC0de, why would you want to do that? | 13:43 |
| prower | makes burning in brasero impossible | 13:43 |
| _21h_ | stepha, what you want? | 13:43 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, probably the restart did it. | 13:43 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: please explain more! :/ | 13:43 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: what must I do again? | 13:43 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, did you use envy? Or natural ubuntu? | 13:43 |
| _21h_ | stepha, yes, i'm russian. problems? | 13:43 |
| jrib | tsb: yep, firefox says it was closed unexpectedly. This is probably related as to why I can't get my sessions to save too. I remember reading a bug on launchpad that pointed upstream regarding gnome-session and the inability to save sessions | 13:43 |
| OxDeadC0de | to make it so guests can't save anything and can only use it as a web browser? | 13:43 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : what do u mean ? | 13:44 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: ping from outside of chroot gave you an IP... ping that directly from inside the chroot | 13:44 |
| runpain2 | i have a HP Pavilion dv6747cl laptop it uses amd turion64x2 anthreos wireless chip | 13:44 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: if that works, only the resolver (dns) has problems | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | OxDeadC0de, why does it matter? There are Koisk type extensions for firefox if you just want a 'web koisk' box. | 13:44 |
| tsb | jrib, yes, this is correct. gnome is basically released with 2 horrible, showstopper bugs IMO. | 13:44 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, There are 3 ways to install nvidia drivers, 1.) manually (best way if you know how to do it) 2.) via ubuntu after install, or 3.) 3rd party called envy. | 13:44 |
| runpain2 | !wireless | 13:44 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:44 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: by the way, I am able to scan wireless connections on the installed system! Can that work if I try to connect to the internet using command line? | 13:44 |
| OxDeadC0de | dr_willis I don't, I just want it to have a guest session as advertised for when I let people use my laptop ;) | 13:44 |
| runpain2 | i tried that | 13:45 |
| erry | Hello i have ati radeon - graphics don't work properly. i have the closed-source driver installed and enabled, but still screen blinks in ANY 3D app. Anyway to FIX this? | 13:45 |
| lucas2 | does anybody remember the name of the program that lets you open a port from the commandline, and see if somebody connects to it? | 13:45 |
| dp_ | I seem to have lost my compiz preference manager from the preferences tab. how can I get it back? | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | OxDeadC0de, ive never seen a guest session advertised.. except on the live cds I just make a guest account for them to use on my installed systems | 13:45 |
| lucas2 | trying to debug a ssh tunnelling problem. | 13:45 |
| velko | natalisushka: i guess it will. but i don't know enought about wireless to assist you | 13:45 |
| erry | plz highlight me if u have an answer for me | 13:45 |
| erry | ok? | 13:45 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: when i ping the IP that appears with ua.archive.ubuntu.com inside chroot It looks like connected | 13:45 |
| gregge | Wow, I fixed it.. I think there's a bug in Ubuntu.. If you haven't updated the repositories, it won't find anything when searching for proprietary drivers | 13:45 |
| tsb | jrib, I couldn't save the sessions in gnome 2.24/archlinux either, another major showstopper. I was planing to use gnome in between kde 4.2 but I think I'll either go to kde again or try something else :) I need a sessionmanager and not to mention the ability to close programs like they should. | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | OxDeadC0de, oh wait.. i do see a Guest Session in the menus :) never noticed it befor | 13:46 |
| nikitis | Question: what is this new 3G connectivity, and what does it do? | 13:46 |
| whitman | How can I exit an application "properly" from the command line. I essentially want to fake clicking on the close button via the command line, I want the app to close properly so that it can save settings. | 13:46 |
| nikitis | !3G | 13:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 3g | 13:46 |
| OxDeadC0de | dr_willis it was one of the main selling points of 8.10 (not to me but they tried to sell that feature a bunch) | 13:46 |
| rockyrock | I tried nvidia-glx-new and the envy one but all the same result!!!!!!! | 13:46 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: that means smth. with dns from inside is wrong | 13:46 |
| erry | hllo? | 13:46 |
| onodes | hello ! 8.10 is not use madwifi | 13:46 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: Ok! So how do I do it? | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | OxDeadC0de, i dont recall it beingmentioned much at all.. I just saw guest session now in the menus of that user-applet - that ive rarely used | 13:46 |
| jrib | tsb: http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/NewGnomeSession I guess they didn't finish | 13:46 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: try to compare resolve.conv and hosts (from /etc) | 13:46 |
| nikitis | rockyrock, what's the issue and video card? | 13:46 |
| tsb | jrib, yep | 13:47 |
| velko | natalisushka: another idea. if you can ping the ip, you can list the servers listed in /etc/apt/sources.list in /etc/hosts in order to get resolved | 13:47 |
| runpain2 | !pavilion dv6747cl wireless | 13:47 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | OxDeadC0de, i just tried it.. and it dident even work. :) | 13:47 |
| rockyrock | this problem is only with 8 series, right?? | 13:47 |
| rockyrock | I have another computer with 7 series and doesn't have that problem | 13:47 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : firstly, i installed by hardware drivers, but can't enable, then, i restart, then i try "Nvidia X server setting", it stated, i must close the app, then type "sudo nvdia-xconfig", restart, then it works ..... i really don't know what i'm doing | 13:47 |
| gregge | The proprietary drivers must ask for an update of the repositories, or it won't work | 13:47 |
| rockyrock | is it from nvidia or is it a bug in Ubuntu?? | 13:47 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: they are different :) | 13:47 |

| dev_ | is someone using DSL I was wondering if they had any similar problems, I get good response times from ping/traceroute, but the reaction / delay of something happining is horrible ( I can't access the internet good for research, but can keep a steady stream open like irc, even big streams are possible to keep open, but browsing new infromation is a pain ) | 13:47 |
| mathias__ | have a problem here, after upgrading to 8.10 samba wont work as i should, think its releated to 81.0 upgrade. The problem is that i mount some shares on boot via fstab and before the upgrade it worked as i should but after it mounts all shares BUT one ... that one wont mount. If i monunt it manually via a termnial window it works ...havent changed anything in fstab or on the client, also the upgrade asked me if i want new smb.conf | 13:47 |
| mathias__ | or keep the old one and i choosed to keep the old one ... any ckues ?? | 13:47 |

| tsb | jrib, hehe yeah.. I'll have to check that out myself. Really strange though, such a serious bug, makes ubuntu 8.10 a step backwards for me | 13:48 |

| erry | Can u help me | 13:49 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : is this mean, ubuntu really support nvidia geforce 8600 ? why so many people experienced they can't activated their hardware driver .... not that i'm unhappy that my special effect work, but i don't want to install 3rd party driver | 13:49 |

| nikitis | rockyrock, not sure how to do it, but it's worth a try to make sure it's not a bad compiz setting. | 14:04 |
| bazhang | bboris, what is the issue | 14:04 |
| ljsoftnet | outbackwifi, it is there | 14:04 |
| jrib | Stonekeeper: if you want system-wide, it's: /etc/xdg/user-dirs.* | 14:04 |
| outbackwifi | Gigacore: you need to add the gpg keys to the repository | 14:04 |
| Gigacore | someone please reply to my Q | 14:04 |
| jtisme | !please |bboris | 14:04 |
| ubottu | bboris: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 14:04 |
| Stonekeeper | jrib: does that hide the existing "My Documents" folder? | 14:04 |
| gregge | rockyrock: Hmm.. ok. there's a thing called "powermizer" in nvidia-settings that makes it slower... maybe it's on by default.. if you type nvidia-settings in the erminal, nothing happens? | 14:04 |
| bboris | Issues with the partition manager creating /swap when using a SATA drive? | 14:04 |
| Gigacore | outbackwifi: thanks, but how ? | 14:04 |
| Dabbu1 | i have nmap installed but i don know how to use it to scan ip from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.2.255 | 14:04 |
| rockyrock | nikitis: i have this problem since i installed ubuntu, i don't think it's a problem with compiz settings | 14:04 |
| outbackwifi | ljsoftnet: ddoubleclick on it; thats the binary ;) | 14:04 |
| jrib | Stonekeeper: sorry, we started about two things. Does what hide the existing My Documents folder? | 14:04 |
| bazhang | Gigacore, that means the gpg key did not authenticate | 14:04 |
| Fenix|work | jtisme, could you elaborate on that a little more please? RIP means a lot of things... most notibly the Routing Information Protocol | 14:04 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: I see /dev on /media/disk type none (rw,bind) .. I am just afraid to do something wrong with that1 | 14:04 |
| natalisushka | ! | 14:04 |
| Gigacore | bazhang: how to add that gpg key | 14:05 |
| bboris | ubottu sorry... | 14:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sorry... | 14:05 |
| rockyrock | gregge: yeah i see it now | 14:05 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: so i just go umount /dev ? | 14:05 |
| jtisme | Fenix|work, recovery is possible for this rip | 14:05 |
| dany_21a_ | Dabbu: nmap -sP 192.168.0-2.* | 14:05 |
| rockyrock | gregge: NVIDIA X Server Settings | 14:05 |
| bazhang | bboris, please elaborate, and use my nickname in the response or I will miss it | 14:05 |
| bboris | i am talking to a bot. | 14:05 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: yes...but "umount /media/disk" | 14:05 |
| Fenix|work | RIPLinux ... thanks jtisme | 14:05 |
| Stonekeeper | jrib: sorry, I'll be clearer - We have a bunch of XP accounts on a samba share and I'm creating ubuntu thin clients. I'm trying to remove redundancy in the Gnome session so that you don't have "Documents" and "My Documents". Ideally, just one folder. | 14:05 |
| bazhang | Gigacore, will it ever get net connection? | 14:05 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: than check if the original disk is mount again, if not: fix it | 14:05 |
| ljsoftnet | outbackwifi, i got it, its working now | 14:05 |
| jtisme | Fenix|work, havent used it but looks good | 14:06 |
| asmokki | nyone had problems with network card duplexmode? | 14:06 |
| outbackwifi | ljsoftnet: ok | 14:06 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: the output is: umount: it seems /media/disk is mounted multiple times !!! | 14:06 |
| Dabbu1 | dany_21a_:is there any GUI for this nmap | 14:06 |
| nikitis | rockyrock, i do not know then. If i were in your shoes i would try a manual install. Google on how to do that. | 14:06 |
| gregge | rockyrock: If you go to "powermizer" it should say 0 I think, but it could mean that it rarely gets out of 0 either and therefore everything's really slow | 14:06 |
| prower | For those using Ubuntu with e1000e based network cards/chipsets, i wouldn't recommend using intrepid :< i am seeing serious issues with my card since i installed it | 14:06 |
| lorenzo | Hi everybody, my hardy is acting weird. When I start it, only my calendar applet and the tracker tool are loaded; nothing happens for about 2 minutes (!!!), when I get the message that nm-applet is trying to access the keyring; I type in the pwd and all the applets are started. Still, all the bookmarks in Firefox are gone, and the homepage; when I try to restart or shut down the system, the 2 panels disappear but nothing happens. Anyone | 14:06 |
| teamcobra | asmokki: once, but ethtool is your friend, as are pre-up statements in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:06 |
| lorenzo | can help me please? I am lost! thank you very much, I appreciate your help | 14:06 |
| sponix | thanks for your information... One last question, what version of VLC is most current in 8.10, does it use 9.2, or is it still back in the 8.6 branch ? | 14:06 |
| dany_21a_ | Dabbu: yes... some... google for it | 14:06 |
| Gigacore | bazhang: no :( | 14:06 |
| jrib | Stonekeeper: yeah, I think the easiest solution there is to edit user-dirs and delete ~/Documents/ | 14:06 |
| Pici | !info zenmap | Dabbu1 | 14:06 |
| ubottu | dabbu1: zenmap (source: nmap): The Network Mapper Front End. In component universe, is extra. Version 4.62-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 793 kB, installed size 3244 kB | 14:06 |
| ljsoftnet | outbackwifi, how about gimp, can you show me its directory and the executable? | 14:06 |
| Stonekeeper | jrib: ok. thanks for your time pal. | 14:06 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: and...does it umount it? what says "mount" | 14:07 |
| bazhang | !info vlc | sponix | 14:07 |

| prower | For those using Ubuntu with e1000e based network cards/chipsets, i wouldn't recommend using intrepid :< i am seeing serious issues with my card since i installed it | 14:07 |
| prower | (sorry i posted that twice by mistake) | 14:07 |
| outbackwifi | ljsoftnet: type gimp in terminal | 14:07 |
| bingungajaa | anyone know, which one is better lotus symphony or open office ? | 14:07 |
| prince_jammys | Dabbu1: zenmap, knmap ... | 14:07 |
| sponix | bazhang: didn't know that bot did package info, that is hot ... Thanks | 14:07 |
| jrib | bingungajaa: try both and see which one is better for you | 14:07 |
| bazhang | Gigacore, then no need to worry about authentication | 14:07 |
| Dabbu1 | ok..thanks | 14:07 |
| romulo | hi, I/O operations are VERY slow on my intrepid. I checked and DMA is enabled but anytime an application is using the disk, the rest of the system becames slow like hell, can anyone help me? | 14:07 |
| gregge | rockyrock: Can you see the powermizer? | 14:07 |
| cygoku | If I take the files from th cd image of Intrepid and burn them to a dvd, will it boot in live and be able to install normally ?? | 14:07 |
| Gigacore | bazhang: ok | 14:07 |
| Mrunagi | does anyone here have any experience with bluetooth dial up networking? | 14:08 |
| bingungajaa | jrib : LOL i will notice that :) | 14:08 |
| bazhang | cygoku, the iso ? | 14:08 |
| Gigacore | bazhang: thanks btw | 14:08 |
| rockyrock | gregge: yeah, i'm uploading a screenshot of it into my website so you can see it | 14:08 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: mount says this: http://pastebin.ru/298057 | 14:08 |
| Dusk_Bey | how can i start emerald theme at startup?? compiz fusion starts at startup but not with emerald window decorator | 14:08 |
| cygoku | bazhang : yes files from the iso (image) | 14:08 |
| bingungajaa | if i upgrade my open office in ubuntu 8.10, should i remove the older one first ? or what ? | 14:08 |
| Fenix|work | jtisme, this is sort of what I'm looking for... but I'm actually looking for a utility to make a bootable DVD that will restore an image to disk ... kinda like a factory defaults restore type of thing | 14:08 |
| ljsoftnet | outbackwifi, it worked | 14:08 |
| nikitis | Dusk_Bey, i believe emerald --replace under sessions in preferences. | 14:08 |
| jrib | bingungajaa: nah, APT will take care of all APT stuff | 14:08 |
| bazhang | cygoku, files? not sure what you mean. you can remaster the iso (!remaster) if you wish | 14:08 |
| outbackwifi | ljsoftnet: ok its also in applications-graphics menu | 14:09 |
| bingungajaa | jrib : thx | 14:09 |
| jtisme | Fenix|work, cant help you there | 14:09 |
| ljsoftnet | outbackwifi, its not there, its ok as long as it runs | 14:09 |
| Dusk_Bey | nikitis, thx friend | 14:09 |
| nikitis | Dusk_Bey, System => Preferences => Sessions, Under startup add emerald --replace | 14:09 |
| bazhang | !clone | Fenix|work | 14:09 |
| ubottu | Fenix|work: 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 | 14:09 |
| bingungajaa | is compiz and compiz fusion the same ? | 14:09 |
| bazhang | bingungajaa, yes | 14:09 |
| bingungajaa | bazhang : thx | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | compiz+beryl --> compiz fusion, now normally just called compiz | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | :) | 14:10 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, mostly yes | 14:10 |
| Mrunagi | im having a problem connecting via wvdial in the cli because it wants my pin number but i have no way of entering it | 14:10 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: hm... on my box a multilayered umount works | 14:10 |
| cygoku | !remaster | 14:10 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the !Ubuntu !LiveCD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use Tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 14:10 |
| DrummaDave | Anyone got a few minutes to help me out with Wine? | 14:10 |
| K-O-D | so no amd64 realtime kernel with nvidia drivers? | 14:10 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: you must get rid of that mount, that was wrong: "/dev on /media/disk type none (rw,bind)" | 14:10 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, difference in versioning, but compiz fusion technically combining of beryl and compiz, But like dr_willis said, we just call it compiz for short | 14:10 |
| outbackwifi | Mrunagi: use bluez-pin | 14:10 |
| Tyrath | Ibex has stopped me being able to view the PHP in files | 14:11 |
| Fenix|work | bazhang, jtisme ... I think I may have found the answer... how to turn your current install into a live-cd using remastersys | 14:11 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: but dont umount that "udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)" | 14:11 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : you said earlier special effect and compiz is the same, but how come my ealier hardy, got "compiz fusion's logo" when i login, but now not ? | 14:11 |
| Tyrath | - how do I make it so ibex allows me to view the PHP in files | 14:11 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: I guess umount /media/disk worked now | 14:11 |
| cygoku | bazhang : it's simple, i just wanna know if I can make a bootable intrepid dvd by burning files from the iso image of intrepid ... | 14:11 |
| Fenix|work | jtisme, bazhang :: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/remaster-and-clone-your-ubuntu-install.html | 14:11 |
| vitamin-carrot | view source? | 14:11 |
| Tyrath | if I download the PHP files Ibex will format them into HTML | 14:11 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka so "/dev/sda1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)" is still here? | 14:11 |
| Tyrath | and this is given I have fully logged in etc... | 14:12 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, not sure, i haven't installed ibex yet, it's doing so now as i'm speaking | 14:12 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: no restart: " mount -o bind /dev /media/disk/dev" | 14:12 |
| Webmastehhh | hi | 14:12 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: it wont; its the webserver with php interpreter that does that | 14:12 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : ok | 14:12 |
| Webmastehhh | How do i get the new ubuntu version | 14:12 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: nope | 14:12 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, i may have to disconnect here in a second for the install to finish. | 14:12 |
| outbackwifi | !lamp| Tyrath | 14:12 |
| ubottu | Tyrath: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 14:12 |
| Webmastehhh | ? | 14:12 |
| rockyrock | gregge: http://www.rakblog.com/files/power.jpg | 14:12 |
| cousteau | lost m Nvidia drivers | 14:12 |
| vitamin-carrot | cygoku: make sure you have a blank dvd in you burner and then right click on the iso file and click burn to disk | 14:12 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : ok | 14:12 |
| Dabbu1 | IS there any substitute for ORACLE ? | 14:12 |
| Webmastehhh | how do u get the new ubuntu version | 14:12 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, then if there are no problems, I'll be right back. | 14:12 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: so what do I do next? | 14:12 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: then remount it (with gui at best) | 14:12 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : thx | 14:12 |
| cygoku | i see | 14:12 |
| nikitis | Dabbu1, no | 14:13 |
| natalisushka | remount /media/dev ? | 14:13 |
| sponix | Dabbu1: why would you want one ? | 14:13 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: sorry, remount /media/disk ? | 14:13 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: so do I need to install lamp if I'm to see PHP? | 14:13 |
| rockyrock | nikitis: http://www.rakblog.com/files/power.jpg | 14:13 |
| gregge | rockyrock: there's only one performance level? | 14:13 |
| vitamin-carrot | cygoku: make sure you burn the iso at the lowest speed to ensure that it will indeed boot | 14:13 |
| rockyrock | gregge: what do you mean by that? | 14:13 |
| === jabagawee_ is now known as jabagawee | ||
| cygoku | okay,... | 14:13 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/disk | 14:13 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: if the php file is on your pc; yes. if its on another server; no | 14:14 |
| K-O-D | so no amd64 realtime kernel with nvidia drivers? | 14:14 |
| Mrunagi | does anyone know how to tether a phone in usb | 14:14 |
| Dabbu1 | sponix:for RDBMS prtactice | 14:14 |
| Mrunagi | er ubuntu | 14:14 |
| nikitis | rockyrock, i don't know much about your issue | 14:14 |
| sponix | Dabbu1: Postgresql, and MySQL are good free SQL databases, but Oracle is available for Linux as well, and there is Firebird also | 14:14 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka than for the /dev: "mount -o bind /dev /media/disk/dev" | 14:14 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: see the thing is if I try to edit the php files on the server I still can't view the PHP | 14:14 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: :/ mount: mount point /media/disk does not exist | 14:14 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: than "sudo chroot /media/disk", than updating should work | 14:14 |
| bingungajaa | anyone can tell me where can i find compiz fuzion menu, i can't find it | 14:14 |
| sponix | Dabbu1: just go get Oracle to practice Oracle, free for personal use these days, ya know ? :) | 14:14 |
| W8TAH | is there any way i can play music from my itunes share on my linux laptop? | 14:14 |
| gregge | rockyrock: the powermizer wants to jump between "performance levels" in order to save energy, but maybe yours only had one level... then it won't help, I'm afraid | 14:15 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: sudo mkdir /media/disk | 14:15 |
| nikitis | what's the best way to reset a users skeleton? | 14:15 |
| Dabbu1 | really.... | 14:15 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: if the server has LAMP then you can see php interpreted | 14:15 |
| vitamin-carrot | W8TAH: have you tried songbird? | 14:15 |
| === newguy is now known as newcomer | ||
| rockyrock | gregge: how can we know if it has one or many? | 14:15 |
| Dabbu1 | ok | 14:15 |
| W8TAH | vitamin-carrot, no - -i havent | 14:15 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: so why wasn't this an issue in ubuntu hardy? | 14:15 |
| gregge | rockyrock: It should say performance level 0,1 and 2 | 14:16 |
| vitamin-carrot | W8TAH: google it and have a look on their website i know that the ap allows you to upload to ipod | 14:16 |
| W8TAH | ok | 14:16 |
| W8TAH | thanks | 14:16 |
| Dabbu1 | how can i send message to a IP on private LAN and windows user | 14:16 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: besides I really don't want to see the HTML considering there is no possible way to create dynamic webpages using solely HTML | 14:16 |
| gregge | rockyrock: have you tried different drivers? | 14:16 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: its not an issue; if you install server edition with lamp you feel youve got it by default | 14:16 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: I am in :) thanks! I will try to fix it now | 14:16 |
| rockyrock | gregge: yeah | 14:16 |
| dekkong | Hello guys!! my friend has 4 computers @ home 1 ubuntu 8.10 and 3 windows vista/xp. He would like to setup the internet connection so that the ubuntu computer access directly to the internet and the other ones has to go through the ubuntu computer to get to the internet! how should he do this? | 14:16 |
| rockyrock | gregge: envy, glx-new | 14:16 |
| rockyrock | gregge: same thing | 14:17 |
| blekos | hi, i've install fusesmb. How can i see a shared folder on my vista machine? | 14:17 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: is that the server edition of intrepid ibex? | 14:17 |
| sea | what app I can use to play ape music file? | 14:17 |
| gregge | rockyrock: damn.. envy uses the proprietary drivers, right? | 14:17 |
| outbackwifi | dekkong: theres a howto on internet connection sharing; read that | 14:17 |
| rockyrock | gregge: donno! | 14:17 |
| Stonekeeper | jrib: Does gnome honour the folders in that file when first logging on (and subsequently creating the dirs)? | 14:17 |
| gregge | rockyrock: system->administration->hardware drivers | 14:18 |
| Tyrath | !intrepid server version | 14:18 |

| Dabbu1 | i want to send a msg to a windows xp user over LAN at ip 192.168.0.3 ,how can i do that | 14:18 |
| rockyrock | gregge: so what? | 14:18 |
| bazhang | !ics | dekkong | 14:18 |
| ubottu | dekkong: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 14:18 |
| Stonekeeper | Dabbu1: samba | 14:18 |
| jrib | Stonekeeper: I'm not sure | 14:18 |
| outbackwifi | Dabbu1: smblient -M | 14:18 |
| vitamin-carrot | Dabbul: isnt there like a netsend or somthing with samba? | 14:19 |
| outbackwifi | Dabbu1: smbclient -M | 14:19 |
| Dabbu1 | outbackwifi:then | 14:19 |
| gregge | ok dr_willis: rockyrock: dr willis said it's the proprietary drivers, but if you find any drivers in there maybe you can try them | 14:19 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: the thing is I want to have an operating system, not simply an OS that interfaces with a server | 14:19 |
| Stonekeeper | i found out about the most AWESOME "winexe" for running windows commands from a samba server. It seriously rocks | 14:19 |
| Stonekeeper | you can even gain a shell on the remote windows machine | 14:19 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: and in addition downloading another OS prob take a few hours | 14:20 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: are you sure you know what you are saying? | 14:20 |
| jerbear | anyone here use xterm in intrepid? for some reason i can't see my foreground color any more | 14:20 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: .. ummm! I appriciate your help, hope you can still help :) .. I entered apt-get upgrade -f and got this: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/EOSwfk | 14:20 |
| lb1 | hi | 14:20 |
| Dabbu1 | outbackwifi:can i know the full command to send "hello" to ip 192.168.0.3 | 14:20 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: hardy allowed me to see PHP, intrepid won't. why not? how can I change that? -that's my question | 14:20 |
| rockyrock | gregge: dr_willis:i found in Hadware Drivers Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (latest card), not in use | 14:20 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: I can see that it's just a few errors with certain packages. But why does it stop the whole operation for that? Is there a way to determine if it finished and make it continue and ignore such errors? | 14:20 |
| blekos | hi, i've install fusesmb. How can i see a shared folder on my vista machine? | 14:21 |
| vitamin-carrot | Tyrath: php code? or the actual page? | 14:21 |
| gregge | rockyrock: It probably won't help but do activate them and see | 14:21 |
| rockyrock | gregge: i did that before, same result12 | 14:21 |

| isaw | can anyone help with a fragged 8.10 upgrade? | 14:22 |
| bazhang | lhogie_, try in ##hardware | 14:22 |
| Tyrath | vitamin-carrot: I have no problem seeing the actual page, only seeing the code. and I'm not talking source code, I'm saying that if I download a php file with the host username and password, the file shows me HTML, not PHP | 14:22 |
| Dabbu1 | outbackwifi:ok | 14:22 |
| rockyrock | what the hell is the problem between Ubuntu and nvidia! | 14:22 |
| bazhang | isaw, please clarify fragged | 14:22 |
| bingungajaa | rockyrock : what actually your issues, maybe i can share ? | 14:22 |
| Tyrath | vitamin-carrot: when I had hardy, this wasn't an issue | 14:22 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, ubuntu has default compiz setting. There are thousands of new 3D things you can do with your desktop, by installing that manager, you can tap into those settings. | 14:22 |
| vitamin-carrot | Tyrath: good luck with that | 14:22 |
| lhogie_ | bazhang: thanx, I noticed that was on the wrong channel :) | 14:22 |
| prower | friendly warning to anyone with e1000e network cards or chipsets, they are still buggy as of this release :< my card is no longer working properly | 14:22 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: i gave you two options 1) install Apache and PHP on your current installation 2) Install Server edition with LAMP; you chose to ignore both; | 14:23 |
| bingungajaa | nikits : i understand now, thx LOL | 14:23 |
| stelt | how do i get an overview of my machine after hardware detection? | 14:23 |
| rockyrock | bingungajaa: i have lack in performance | 14:23 |
| outbackwifi | stelt: lshw | 14:23 |
| gypsymauro | hi | 14:23 |
| bingungajaa | rockyrock : so u got no issues with activate 3D and special effect with your nvidia ? | 14:23 |
| rockyrock | bingungajaa: when maximize and minimize i feel it's some how slow | 14:23 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: why do I need Apache? Apache's for producing a server on the monitor. I want to be able to interface with an external host | 14:23 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, many have argued to install this by default. But for some reasons the higher ups deny us this request. | 14:23 |
| gypsymauro | for a newbie is best to install ubuntu or kubuntu? (coming from windows, is a friend of mine but I've lost memory about windows:) | 14:23 |
| chadeldridge | I am having an issue with network-manager resetting to dhcp after every reboot, can someone help ? | 14:24 |
| Kaigeos | is there anyway I can install g++ 4.3.0 and not 4.3.2 with intrepid?? | 14:24 |
| lorenzo | hi guys, my hardy is being weird. on boot it gets stuck for like 2 minutes as nm-applet apparently tries to acces the keyring but is denied acces, and everything freezes until i am allowed to type my pwd in. my bookmarks and settings in Firefox are gone. If i try to log out or shut down, both panels disappear, and it hangs until i give ctl alt backspace. Please can anyone help? Been struggling with this all morning! | 14:24 |
| HDready | short question... when i reinstall ubuntu into my / directory... i have the standard applications and so on again? | 14:24 |
| rockyrock | bingungajaa: no i can activiate them and use them but in bad performance | 14:24 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: im sorry i cannot help you anymore since i dont understand you | 14:24 |
| lb1 | hi, i have ubuntu 7.10, i tried installing and using the rt kernel (2.6.22-15) but it just crashes on me, it freezes on startup without even accessing the disk, if someone wants i can give the kernel messages but nothing unusual in them, can someone help me sort it out? | 14:24 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : it should be installed by default LOL, but i'm not using it though :) | 14:24 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: try to delete all files in /var/cache/apt/archives/ (from your old system) | 14:24 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, i would | 14:24 |
| outbackwifi | lb1: do you understand and need the rt kernel? | 14:24 |
| bingungajaa | rockyrock : u experienced the same with hardy ? | 14:24 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, lots of amazing things | 14:24 |
| clint_ | sound+browser+UB 8.10=Not working! | 14:24 |
| vitamin-carrot | woot i broke my fstab again | 14:25 |
| bboris | bazhang Anytime I go to the partition manager reguardless if I choose manual or autocreate for the partions, when the installer tries to create the swap I get an error that it is unable to do so. I have tried changing option in the advanced tab for the location of the boo loader as well. and it fails each time. I am not sure why this happens if it can detect thedrive | 14:25 |
| rockyrock | bingungajaa: i'm using hardy | 14:25 |
| lb1 | i do music production with jack, so i'd prefer it | 14:25 |
| vitamin-carrot | woot i restored from my backup | 14:25 |
| dany_21a_ | natalisushka: and that is strange "Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y" - try to find a solution (maybe import the right key or what...use google) | 14:25 |
| bazhang | bboris, this is from the live cd or the gparted live cd? | 14:25 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: ok. wget ftp://username:pass@location.com/file.php will download a php file. When I open that file in vim all I see is HTML | 14:25 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | I am trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10, but it will not let me. It gives error "Could not calculate upgrade". I have tried upgrading from CD and from network. What can I do? | 14:25 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : yah lots of amazing things, but for me just not practical :) | 14:25 |
| Frijolie | after the upgrade to Intrepid, the toggle on my laptop no longer controls the master volume--it's been switched to control my headphone's volume. How can I change this back? | 14:26 |
| clint_ | Hondo_Kitsune, have you used your update manager | 14:26 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, lots of amazingly practical things too, time savers | 14:26 |
| bboris | bazhang I think it is live cd | 14:26 |
| mrunagi | ok now im in the command prompt cany anyone help me figure out why xserver wont start? | 14:26 |
| bingungajaa | rockyrock : OH IC, thought u have problem with ibex, supposedly there's no issues, i'm using hardy earlier, and no issues at all (geforce 8600M) | 14:26 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | clint_: that is how i tried to pdate online | 14:26 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, there was a difference in hardware with 8500 to 8600 | 14:26 |
| clint_ | hmm everything up to date? | 14:27 |
| td123 | Hondo_Kitsune: you could fresh installing it if you can easily backup everything | 14:27 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: but I want to see PHP code | 14:27 |
| td123 | install** | 14:27 |
| clint_ | id do that | 14:27 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, here goes, my computer is about to wish a restart | 14:27 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : ya, but they supposedly to be the same series | 14:27 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: wget will interpret the php file, it will not download the source, you probably need to download a .phps file from that server for source | 14:27 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | td123: that is the thing, i do not want to fresh install, Ubuntu is supposed to be easily upgradeable | 14:27 |
| vitamin-carrot | Tyrath: php code can be embeded in html cant it? | 14:27 |
| favro | mrunagi: if you type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart what errors are shown? | 14:27 |
| clint_ | my fucking sound wont work in my browser but will in my plater | 14:27 |
| td123 | Hondo_Kitsune: ok | 14:27 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | clint_: everything is up to date | 14:27 |
| outbackwifi | Tyrath: or use ftp | 14:27 |
| stelt | outbackwifi, i don't see my webcam, bluetooth, IR and digital TV tuner in there | 14:27 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ch | 14:28 |
| Tyrath | vitamin-carrot: other way around. HTML code can be embeded in PHP. PHP code cannot be embeded in HTML. HTML a static markup language that simply displays things on web pages. PHP actually does things | 14:28 |

| mrunagi | when i try to sudo mkdir tmp i get cannot create directory 'tmp': no such file or directory | 14:29 |
| bazhang | that is chinese | 14:29 |
| mrunagi | i think thats why i cant start x | 14:29 |
| vitamin-carrot | Tyrath: hermmmmmmmmmmm | 14:29 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | td123: I also have the alt cd in my drive and cannot upgrade fro mthere either | 14:29 |

| bingungajaa | nikitis : that's chinese not japanese hehehe | 14:29 |
| sea | OK | 14:29 |
| vitamin-carrot | Tyrath: have you search the forums? | 14:29 |
| Tyrath | vitamin-carrot: sorry I don't know what you mean by embedded. HTML is just a bunch of tags run on the client | 14:29 |
| nikitis | bingungajaa, it's all spanish to me | 14:29 |
| favro | mrunagi: sudo mkdir /temp | 14:29 |
| === jordan is now known as Superjojo | ||
| mrunagi | i get cannot stat: /tmp/.X11-unix (no such file or directory), aborting | 14:29 |
| flemota | helppp!!! | 14:30 |
| mrunagi | favro: but x is looking for /tmp not /temp | 14:30 |
| td123 | Hondo_Kitsune: I have never upgraded :P | 14:30 |
| gypsymauro | the new ubuntu handles now the gnome/kde menu if I install both or is still a mess? | 14:30 |
| bazhang | flemota, ask a question | 14:30 |
| outbackwifi | !please | flemota | 14:30 |
| ubottu | flemota: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 14:30 |
| flemota | i cant active the video driver | 14:30 |
| mrunagi | odd thing is i see tmp in the dir | 14:30 |
| Tyrath | vitamin-carrot: as such I would say its impossible to embed languages in it | 14:30 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | I am trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10, but it will not let me. It gives error "Could not calculate upgrade". I have tried upgrading from CD and from network. What can I do? | 14:30 |
| mrunagi | wwhen i try to cd to it it says it isnt there | 14:30 |
| clint_ | td123, can you download and burn a cd? | 14:30 |

| pvinis | hello | 14:30 |
| Tyrath | vitamin-carrot: though you can use PHP to produce HTML | 14:30 |
| natalisushka | dany_21a_: yes it asked me for verification. now I ran update and it seems fine,so I am doing dist-upgrade to continue what was left and it's working. with no problems so far, fetching packages form the internet, hope it'll work :) | 14:30 |
| td123 | clint_: of course... but I used the usb stick | 14:30 |
| pvinis | ellines?!? | 14:30 |
| Tyrath | vitamin-carrot: as such you can embed HTML in PHP | 14:31 |
| clint_ | why doesnt he try that? | 14:31 |

| Frijolie | ubuntu needs to fix pulseaudio, it's shameful | 14:31 |
| Slart | Frijolie: what's wrong with it? | 14:31 |
| td123 | Frijolie: I would agree if my pulseaudio didn't work :D | 14:31 |
| bingungajaa | nikitis : ic, be rite back, got confused with installing cairo-dock, seems to be not working | 14:31 |
| nikitis | Slart, practially everything. if you have onboard sound | 14:31 |
| pvinis | thelo help me to cal3d | 14:31 |
| favro | mrunagi: try mkdir /tmp instead of tmp | 14:31 |
| pvinis | kserei kaneis? | 14:31 |
| bboris | bazhang It is the CD u download from the ubunto site | 14:32 |
| Frijolie | slart: buggy and only some of the time works on my laptop | 14:32 |
| mrunagi | same message | 14:32 |
| clint_ | ive never seen that | 14:32 |
| Frijolie | td123: it doesn't work for me | 14:32 |
| mrunagi | x wont start because it says tmp doesnt exisyt | 14:32 |
| Tyrath | gah if I look up PHP and intrepid ibex in google it comes up with absolutely nothing | 14:32 |
| pvinis_ | can anyone help me with cal3d? | 14:32 |
| bazhang | pvinis, english here; #ubuntu-gr for greek | 14:32 |
| clint_ | so are they shipping 8.10 now? | 14:32 |
| pvinis | ok | 14:32 |
| Dabbu1 | outbackwifi:Connection to COOL-GUY failed. Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME | 14:32 |
| Slart | nikitis: works nicely with my onboard sound.. perhaps I'm just lucky | 14:32 |
| pvinis | can anyone help me with cal3d? | 14:32 |
| outbackwifi | Frijolie: you have the option of removing Pulseaudio and replacing it with Alsa or esd (tho thats obsolete) | 14:32 |
| Slart | Frijolie: it's not an alsa problem then? I thought pulseaudio used alsa "behind the scenes" | 14:32 |
| nikitis | Slart, must be. It treats my onboard as an ancient device and leaves it for dead. and it's not that old | 14:32 |
| vitamin-carrot | oh dears ive noticed a bug in the themes | 14:32 |
| lb1 | hi, i have ubuntu 7.10, i tried installing and using the rt kernel (2.6.22-15) but it just crashes on me, it freezes on startup without even accessing the disk, if someone wants i can give the kernel messages but nothing unusual in them, can someone help me sort it out? | 14:32 |
| Tyrath | ok so ibex is obviously filtering out PHP making it impossible for me to see and edit the PHP | 14:33 |
| DeadFishMan | Tyrath: I'm not sure if I understand what you're trying to accomplish. The PHP interpreter parses PHP code and outputs HTML to the webserver to be delivered to the browser. That means that the browser never gets to see the original PHP code, only the results that it produces. | 14:33 |
| Frijolie | outbackwifi: yeah, i'd like to downgrade but id lose the support | 14:33 |
| pvinis_ | I need help installing cal3d pla | 14:33 |
| pvinis_ | pls* | 14:33 |
| nikitis | Slart, alsa works great for onboard cards of all varieties | 14:33 |
| outbackwifi | Dabbu1: use the -I to specify ip address also; i have found that works at times | 14:33 |
| Frijolie | slart: I've never had problems with the sound volume until the "upgrade" to PulseAudio | 14:33 |
| natalisushka | Guys, is there a way to connect to an open wireless connection without any passphrase? Cuz the network interface asks me for a passphrase and won't let button "Connect" be activated unless I type something there! | 14:33 |
| vitamin-carrot | Tyrath: by that reasoning there should be a way to turn said filter off | 14:34 |
| outbackwifi | DeadFishMan: i suggested to him to use ftp and not wget to download the .php file; he just wont listen o_O | 14:34 |
| Slart | nikitis: once alsa was working pulse has never given me any problems.. alsa on the other hand | 14:34 |
| Frijolie | slart: now, since the upgrade to Intrepid, I've lost functionality of the volume toggle on my laptop. Pulse has associated it with my headphones instead of my master volume control | 14:34 |
| dA_ShArP | Hi people , I have ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard, mii-tools doesn't detect both of my cards, what would have gone wrong? | 14:34 |
| nikitis | natalisushka, select none for wireless security type, you cannot have wpa/wep without a passphrase | 14:34 |
| DeadFishMan | Tyrath: wget, curl and the likes basically work like a web browser, meaning that they retrieve content using HTTP so it doesn't make any difference | 14:34 |
| Slart | Frijolie: are those the only problems you have? | 14:34 |
| andresj | hey, anybody tried upgrading from hardy to intrepid? any problems? i remember the upgrade from feisty to hardy was pretty harsh; had to reinstall. | 14:34 |
| newk | upgraded to 8.10 and compiz not workin at all | 14:34 |
| outbackwifi | dA_ShArP: pastebin your dmesg|grep Ether | 14:34 |
| DeadFishMan | outbackwifi: Either he needs to have FTP access to the host or some sort of WebDAV access would work as well. | 14:35 |
| natalisushka | nikitis: so what must I do? | 14:35 |
| dA_ShArP | outbackwifi, moment doing | 14:35 |
| nikitis | natalisushka, make sure to disable wireless security on your router as well | 14:35 |
| Tyrath | DeadFishMan: I understand how PHP works. I've coded web applications in PHP. Now. I have the username and password of a server which has PHP files on it. When I download those files to the harddrive and open them all I see is PHP. If I open those files on the server using vim all I see is HTML. infact all I ever see is HTML | 14:35 |
| Dabbu | outbackwifi:r u there ? | 14:35 |
| outbackwifi | DeadFishMan: he does; but he is using wget which interprets the php and downloads the html | 14:35 |
| nikitis | natalisushka, when selecting the type in network-manager, just change wep/wpa to none | 14:35 |
| Frijolie | slart: no, the sound volume---although everything says it's 100% it only sounds like it's 50%. Everything is awfully quiet. | 14:35 |
| DeadFishMan | outbackwifi: right | 14:35 |
| lb1 | help, I installed ubuntu 8.10 but it seems to have corrupted my bios, what am i supposed to do? | 14:35 |
| dA_ShArP | outbackwifi, [ 33.089978] forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.61. | 14:35 |

| nikitis | FriedCPU, pulse audio fails at adding bass and treble settings. | 14:36 |
| Frijolie | slart: the sound volume in Flash videos sometimes is almost non existent | 14:36 |
| Dorobo18jp | anyone out there that can tell me how to open a .py file in gedit | 14:36 |
| Slart | Frijolie: I'm not sure pulseaudio is responsible for handling the special volume button on your laptop.. isn't there some kind of special utility that does that? | 14:36 |
| nikitis | FriedCPU, miss tell | 14:36 |
| DeadFishMan | Tyrath: you're logged into the server on a SSH Session and when you try to vim files, all that you see is HTML? | 14:36 |
| stelt | Frijolie: my ubuntu is also a lot quieter than Vista | 14:36 |
| outbackwifi | dA_ShArP: can you pastebin your entire dmesg please/ | 14:36 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | lb1: Ubuntu is software that has no direct link to your BIOS. Something else must have got it. | 14:36 |

| vitamin-carrot | lbl: reset bios and see what happens | 14:36 |

| Tyrath | DeadFishMan: I've tried wget, i've tried ssh and i've tried using vim to open them directly off the server | 14:36 |
| Frijolie | slart: the "volume button" on my laptop was working as I expected it to on Hardy....the upgrade to Intrepid changed it somehow | 14:36 |
| reqqit | &$*(&$( irc client | 14:36 |
| Tyrath | DeadFishMan: in every scenario all I see is HTML | 14:37 |
| dA_ShArP | outbackwifi, http://pastebin.com/m46563e03 | 14:37 |
| Slart | Frijolie: yes, I believe you on that.. I just don't think it's pulseaudio that's broken | 14:37 |
| nikitis | natalisushka, if there is a shield by the connection, then your router is set to use security | 14:37 |
| lb1 | actually, since nobody is listening to me, i wanted to troll a bit, maybe someone will notice :P | 14:37 |
| Frijolie | slart: yes, I have been through alsa mixer many times and even have alsa-mixer-gui installed | 14:37 |
| DeadFishMan | Tyrath: That's odd, to say the least | 14:37 |
| lb1 | hi, i have ubuntu 7.10, i tried installing and using the rt kernel (2.6.22-15) but it just crashes on me, it freezes on startup without even accessing the disk, if someone wants i can give the kernel messages but nothing unusual in them, can someone help me sort it out? | 14:37 |

| nikitis | natalisushka, if there is not just select it, and it shouldn't ask you for a passphrase, If it's asking for you a passphrase for a keyring, just make something up and remember what it is. that's different. | 14:37 |
| Slart | Frijolie: can you check the settings in system, preferences, sound? are they all set to pulseaudio? | 14:37 |
| natalisushka | bboris: go to www.ubuntu.com | 14:37 |
| Frijolie | slart: all volumes are set to 100% | 14:38 |

| DeadFishMan | Tyrath: But wget would not change anything on this scenario. It retrieves files through HTTP and therefore you would never get to see PHP code with it. | 14:38 |

| andresj | Tyrath: maybe try ``ssh username@server``; then, inside: ``cat /path/to/file.php``. unless u already did that. :P | 14:38 |
| Frijolie | slart: yes, they're all set to Pulse Audio Sound Server | 14:38 |
| Tyrath | DeadFishMan: that's not true. On Ubuntu Hardy I could see the PHP code | 14:38 |

| toomai | nikki___: is there a particular reason you want the 173-driver? | 14:39 |
| Tyrath | DeadFishMan: because I'm editing the server code I should technically be able to view the PHP code | 14:39 |

| nikki___ | toomai: I'm not sure really. I'm actually trying to get TF2 to work under Wine, but it seems that the old drivers wont let me. | 14:40 |

| dA_ShArP | n8tuser, can you quote me one of your experience? | 14:44 |

It will prompt you for your password and then copy the file to your machine so that you can see it. | 14:44 |

| psusi | not let you see php code? what you talking 'bout willis? | 14:49 |
| DeadFishMan | Tyrath: Nautilus supposedly lets you see external resources through SSH, kinda similar to the fish:// KIOSlave on Konqueror and then you should be able to open the files from the GUI with gvim or gedit. Would that work out for you? | 14:49 |
| Slart | Frijolie: try installing alsa-utils, sudo apt-get install alsa-utils | 14:49 |
| Silvernotex | Is it worth going from 8.04 to 8.10? | 14:49 |
| dr_willis | pronoy, what deb? their who? you can always grab .deb packages from the various ftp servers I guess.. i just checked w32codecs - its 13 mb or so in size. | 14:49 |
| Slart | Frijolie: no worries.. I wouldn't be in this channel if I didn't want to help =) | 14:49 |
| DeadFishMan | Tyrath: I'm not familiar with Nautilus but that should be easy to accomplish... | 14:50 |
| Tyrath | outbackwifi: the thing is I shouldn't have to. When an OS is upgraded it should provide additional functionality, not reduce functionality already present | 14:50 |

| Tyrath | outbackwifi: the thing is I did NOT have to do anything. I could simply just access PHP code using hardy. I can't using ibex | 14:51 |
| Silvernotex | just wondering wether or not to update =/ | 14:51 |
| n8tuser | Silvernotex-> no one is twisting your arm, you can try and help troubleshoot upgrades perhaps | 14:51 |

| Slart | Frijolie: do you know what the onboard soundcard chip is called? | 15:00 |
| Tyrath | n8tuser: you don't need java or jsp to develop webpages. However if you are accessing data and sending data to a database you will need a server scripting language | 15:00 |
| n8tuser | Hondo_Kitsune-> then dig up and start coding perhaps? this is not the channel for that | 15:00 |

| JesperHansen | velko: yup. But I've missed the package that provides me the method to enable it. | 15:04 |

| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, I know its from Dapper, but the issue is a rare one and its probably caused by the same bug... Have you tried the workaround yet? | 15:04 |
| Slart | Frijolie: can you do this for me, "dmesg | grep -i hda" | 15:04 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: you mean, fresh install | 15:05 |

| outbackwifi | Dorobo18jp: thats a call back so itll be double for that | 15:09 |

| Tyrath | DeadFishMan: and I know the file exists because if I load it up in HTML it does load up | 15:09 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, ok well then I'd do a fresh install if I were you, and if you have a seperate /home partition you don't have to worry about losing your settings | 15:10 |

| farfadet | #ubuntu fr | 15:10 |

| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | can somebody tell me how long can take uppgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 on adsl 512kbps? | 15:12 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, it will save you a lot of pain, you can do clean installs, have several different distros installed and they can all share a common /home partition | 15:12 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | AKADEMIK2283MCZ: Very ver very long | 15:12 |
| Slart | Frijolie: it involves adding a line to the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and doing a reboot | 15:12 |
| squidly | AKADEMIK2283MCZ: a while | 15:12 |
| bazhang | AKADEMIK2283MCZ, couple of hours | 15:12 |
| squidly | I'm on a 300M connection at work and it still took me a couple of hours | 15:12 |
| Frijolie | slart: i'm willing to do whatever it takes | 15:12 |
| n8tuser | AKADEMIK2283MCZ-> 740 megs is a long download specially if the servers are very busy | 15:12 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | but downloading alternate disk | 15:12 |
| outbackwifi | Dorobo18jp: can you pastebin the .py that you edited? | 15:12 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: well, what about my software installed and software configs. Wallpaper, themes, all the stuff that is kept in random places in / | 15:12 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, yes that is a plus point, but think about it this way... right now something is broken, its unclear what is broken but something IS broken, its preventing you from doing the clean upgrade. Doing a clean fresh install will do 2 things | 15:12 |
| Skriptkid | hi | 15:12 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | is can take also long | 15:12 |
| Dorobo18jp | yes wait one | 15:13 |

| squidly | It keeps crashing out | 15:13 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | i downloaded 8.10 instalation | 15:13 |

| ubottu | Skriptkid: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 15:13 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, all of the personalizations should be saved under /home | 15:13 |
| bazhang | ask Skriptkid | 15:13 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | can i use this | 15:13 |
| Rotlaus_ | darkvertex: In nvidia-settings i go on 'X Server Display Configuration, go on to X-Screen, click on Advanced aMetaModes.nd the there are these | 15:13 |
| roffe | if I write a script, how can I make it update itself every 25 seconds? | 15:13 |
| bazhang | AKADEMIK2283MCZ, yes | 15:13 |
| Slart | Frijolie: at the end of that file, add the line options snd-hda-intel model=auto then save and exit, reboot | 15:13 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: I will check my partition setup | 15:13 |
| squidly | anyone know how I can force the removal of that package | 15:13 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, you shouldn't save anything except under /home | 15:13 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | can you tell me how? | 15:13 |
| outbackwifi | roffe: in crontab | 15:13 |
| dr_willis | roffe, clarify what you mean. | 15:13 |
| flam | roffe, use cron? | 15:13 |
| n8tuser | roffe-> there is #bash to get help on scripting | 15:13 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, besides to write outside of /home you need root privledges | 15:13 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | er, what is the command to access the partition manager? | 15:13 |
| bazhang | AKADEMIK2283MCZ, md5 the iso, burn to cd at low speed then do the disk integrity check | 15:14 |
| npnux | hi | 15:14 |
| dr_willis | roffe, if you want the script to re-run every 24 sec or so.. theres the 'watch' command. | 15:14 |

| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | i dont understand | 15:14 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, i totally understand your pain... doing clean installs sucks under windows, but once you setup a home partition you'll never think of clean installs again in the same way, they are quick, easy and painless... I've switched distributions without a blink because I had a dedicated /home partion | 15:14 |
| n8tuser | roffe-> there is #bash to get help on scripting | 15:14 |
| dr_willis | roffe, try 'watch --help' and 'man watch' for starters | 15:15 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, what kind of stuff are you saving outside of /home? and why? | 15:15 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, I can't think of any programs that save user data anywhere else? | 15:15 |
| dr_willis | roffe, you are not being clear on what you are doing exactly :) | 15:15 |
| Skriptkid | please can any one help me | 15:15 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: mainly software and Its config | 15:15 |
| Rotlaus_ | darkvertex: In nvidia-settings i go on 'X Server Display Configuration, go on to X-Screen, click on Advanced and then there are these Metamodes where i can select resolutions. | 15:15 |
| darkvertex | Rotlaus_: OK, but did anything wrong happened that was caused the removal of those metamode value? | 15:15 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, unless you've installed things from souce | 15:15 |
| slayton | source | 15:15 |
| Slart | roffe: "watch ls" will run ls every 2 seconds I think and show you the result.. change that as needed | 15:15 |
| jrib | Skriptkid: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you | 15:15 |
| velko | Skriptkid: you haven't asked anything | 15:15 |
| sisseck | Could anyone tell me where the boot settings for ubuntu are located? Im using a dual boot with xp and want the computer to start xp as default | 15:15 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, so the config files _should_ be saved under /home/$USER/.program | 15:15 |
| jrib | sisseck: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 15:15 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: for instance Konversation, where does it keep it's config, it took hours to setup because I have many irc networks and channels | 15:15 |

| slayton | sisseck, /boot/grub/menu.lst or something like that | 15:16 |

| htrejh | hi | 15:18 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, like 3rd party repo;s you've added? not an issue backup your sources.d/ and sources and get apt to generate a list of installed packages, then re-install them after the update | 15:18 |
| Skriptkid | <squidly> thank you | 15:18 |
| htrejh | i accidentaly began to format my home partitiob | 15:18 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, its probably the 3rd party repos that are breaking your upgrade | 15:18 |
| jrib | berosford: well you can copy music to it, but you won't be able to play it (jailbreak and ssh). Your options that I know of are to use itunes in a virtual machine (you can try wine too) | 15:18 |
| htrejh | how can i try to recover some files? | 15:18 |
| Dorobo18jp | outbackwifi if there are 2 of those lines should i edit both or just the one from the website | 15:18 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: I disabled them all and it is still broken | 15:18 |
| bingungajaa | n8tuser : not i'm not looked at the file cause i don't know what file ... a little clue please | 15:18 |
| jrib | !recover | htrejh | 15:18 |
| ubottu | htrejh: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 15:18 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, when you upgrade APT looks for intrepid version of the hardy debs if the repos don't have them then apt doesn't know what to do | 15:18 |
| aedh | I got the new ati driver, but now I have to run all GL apps as root. Why? How can I fix it? | 15:19 |
| berosford | Thanks very much | 15:19 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, right but the hardy debs are still installed | 15:19 |
| n8tuser | bingungajaa-> /var/log/messages | 15:19 |
| darkvertex | Rotlaus_: let me check, you might have to edit/create edid.bin file to remove unwanted resolutions | 15:19 |
| outbackwifi | Dorobo18jp: there should only be one line take outr the othe | 15:19 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: yeah, so i should change my repos from hardy to intrepid | 15:19 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, and the packages need to be removed and then re-installed | 15:19 |
| outbackwifi | Dorobo18jp: there should only be one line take out the other | 15:19 |
| Dorobo18jp | ok | 15:19 |
| n8tuser | bingungajaa-> please read a tutorial on linux -- how to use log files | 15:19 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: do you think doing that would work? | 15:19 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, honestly no I would do a clean install.... it sounds like a lot of work but I PROMISE it will save you time... its going to be a nightmare to upgrade all the packages | 15:19 |
| bingungajaa | n8tuser : ok, brb | 15:20 |
| Rotlaus_ | darkvertex: I have deleted them in nvidia-setting, i want them back, because i deleted the wrong one. | 15:20 |
| Frijolie | slart: i'm testing it... | 15:20 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, where as if you do a clean install you can create the /home which I CAN"T EMPHASIZE enough (if you haven't figured that out yet ;-) ) | 15:20 |
| DeadFishMan | To the person asking how to send a GUI message to someone else logged into his/her system, try kdialog --display :0 --msgbox "Your message here". The catch is that due to the way how X is setup in most distros, sometimes not even root can connect to a X session from other user, so this has to be issued using that person's user account (either through sudo or su should work ok) | 15:20 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: well, i have a 40gb hdd, so having a separate /home would really bugger things up for me | 15:20 |
| Dorobo18jp | outcackwifi i just pmed youed the actual code | 15:20 |

| Slart | Frijolie: ok.. not surprising since this fix was from over a year ago.. but there's more stuff to try.. have a look at this webpage http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt | 15:23 |
| seclm193 | if I had ubuntu 8.10 beta, do i need to reinstall or something | 15:23 |
| gil | what would you guys pay for an EN7950 GT 512mb? | 15:23 |
| bazhang | seclm193, just keep update to final | 15:23 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, either path you chose to take will be a lot of work (using non supported repos really mucks things ups, and for the most part should be avoided) but I'm guessing that the odds of the auto-upgrade working are less then 50% the odds of the clean install working are 100% | 15:23 |

| Rotlaus_ | darkvertex: No, it's already gone. The current and the backup are both form nvidia-settings. Can i restore the Ubuntu one? | 15:24 |

| ThipThip | velko: It is the first hard drive. The layout is, in this order: /boot - 10MB, / - 249GB, swap - 1GB | 15:29 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, if you back it up then you don't have to worry about it | 15:29 |
| exibo | bazhang: and ubuntu screwed my windows partition im afraid | 15:29 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, Always back up before messing with partitions | 15:29 |
| tony__ | Can you only do that with the 'low power' architectures, or can you install from a usb drive with any image | 15:29 |
| bazhang | exibo, what happened to grub? | 15:29 |
| Bit_Breaker | Hello all | 15:29 |
| ikonia | lopin: how did you do that for hardy ? | 15:29 |
| Slart | Frijolie: try running lspci in a terminal to see a list of all your connected devices.. see if you can find the audio chip there | 15:29 |
| darkvertex | Rotlaus_: that would be MUCH better, since then you wouldn't have to mess around with edid.bin | 15:29 |
| aedh | where can I find help for the fglrx driver? thank you. | 15:29 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: I cannot back it up, i do not have a clue where konversation keeps it's damn config | 15:29 |
| lopin | ikonia, Hard line to the interwebs is in my roommate's room. He's left, and I can't get in to get a connection. | 15:29 |
| ikonia | lopin: just trying to understand why you can't do what you did for hardy for interipd | 15:29 |
| exibo | bazhang: ive got two hard drives | 15:30 |
| bpgoldsb | Anyone here using preseeding with a partitioning scheme, who can post [some of] their preseed configuration file for me? | 15:30 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, didn't you edit it? | 15:30 |
| Slart | Frijolie: you might be able to do "lspci | grep -i audio" to get a smaller list | 15:30 |
| velko | ThipThip: and boot is hda1, / is hda2 and swap hda3? | 15:30 |
| Bit_Breaker | i have recently had trouble with my display settings. Ubuntu 8.04. | 15:30 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: Konversation is an irc client | 15:30 |
| Bit_Breaker | v2.6-24-21 | 15:30 |
| exibo | bazhang: ive installed ubuntu on the second, clear hd | 15:30 |
| exibo | bazhang: and when i tried to reboot after installation | 15:30 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: you do the editing in the program itself | 15:30 |
| bazhang | exibo, where is the mbr | 15:30 |
| exibo | bazhang: mbr? | 15:30 |
| sisseck | mystery: could create a backup, depends on how much data you need to save. Other than that i dont know how to get the updater to work again | 15:30 |
| Dorobo18jp | O an outbackwifi in case i boot myself from chat thanks for the help :) | 15:30 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, ~/.kde/ is where the config files are saved ~ is /home! | 15:30 |
| exibo | bazhang: im afraid the grub installed to the windows hd | 15:30 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: right | 15:31 |
| Bit_Breaker | I had to manually change my display settings after a reboot. Can anyone help? | 15:31 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Also, I don't have gparted | 15:31 |
| MaxFrames | hello, please help, I've upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and lost sound completely | 15:31 |
| ThipThip | velko: You know, for some reason, and I'm not sure why, it made boot hda1, / hda5, and swap hda6 | 15:31 |
| lopin | ikonia, I have Build-Essential for Hardy. Have that on APTonCD even. However, when I do the upgrade, I have this nasty bug that keeps X from starting. So, I was going to do a fresh install, so that FGLRX doesn't get involved. However, without an internet connection to get build-essential, I can't get on the internet. See the paradox? | 15:31 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, backing up /home will protect ALL your settings, unless you installed software that is written by a retarted person that doesn't understand how to save configurations files in linux | 15:31 |
| bazhang | exibo, then read that link the bot gave you to fix it | 15:31 |
| exibo | bazhang: cuz i get grub errors even when i have my windows hard drive connected | 15:31 |
| exibo | bazhang: ok | 15:31 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: so, just backup my home folder, format then put it back | 15:31 |
| painter | quit | 15:31 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, EVERY single program I've ever used has saved under /home | 15:31 |
| Rotlaus_ | darkvertex: the xorg.conf on the second machine is about 11 Lines long, does that seem right? | 15:31 |
| ikonia | lopin: I most certainly do | 15:31 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, pretty much that should do it! | 15:31 |
| lopin | ikonia, If I could force build-essential into the iso, then I could do it. You would think that the alternate iso would have it, right? | 15:31 |
| velko | ThipThip: i suppose right now you are on the problematic machine and are using the live cd? | 15:31 |
| exibo | bazhang: but one more thing | 15:32 |
| ikonia | lopin considered downloading the dvd install ? | 15:32 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: Unfortunately, that will leave a lot of crap lying around because of software that is not installed anymore | 15:32 |
| exibo | bazhang: gparted tells me that the windows hard drive is like all empty, and it is ext3 | 15:32 |
| slayton | lopin, you could add the intrepid repos to your sources.list, then do apt-get install build-essential -d which will download but not install the packages | 15:32 |
| ThipThip | velko: No, the problematic machine is a laptop, I'm on my desktop | 15:32 |
| exibo | bazhang: fdisk -l tells me that it is ntfs | 15:32 |
| mr_polite | when running Advanced Desktop Effects but _not_ Emerald, an unfocused window will have a semi transparent window border. Can teh same semi-transparent effect be had on focused windows without running Emerald? | 15:32 |
| bazhang | exibo, that is not good | 15:32 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, what do you mean? that crap is already there, no new crap will be created | 15:32 |
| exibo | bazhang: :/ | 15:32 |
| rapha | Hi all! | 15:33 |
| darkvertex | Rotlaus_: yes, as long as these is something link the following at the top line: # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file) | 15:33 |
| lopin | slayton, that seems like exactly what I need. I was just kind of afraid of breaking stuff with that one. | 15:33 |
| velko | ThipThip: do you have access to it? are you comfortable with the command line? | 15:33 |
| TJ-42 | is there a guide that talks about the ubuntu keyring? I can | 15:33 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: If i backup home, format then put home back. there will be configs for programs that do not exist anymore | 15:33 |
| TJ-42 | 't figure out how it works | 15:33 |
| ThipThip | velko: Yes to both. | 15:33 |
| wilhelmb | is it normal that ktorrent uses 1.0 gig of memory? (8.05) | 15:33 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, that doesn't matter, you can delete them | 15:33 |
| wilhelmb | is it normal that ktorrent uses 1.0 gig of memory? (8.04) | 15:33 |
| lopin | ikonia, Completely forgot about the DVD install. However, that would end up taking forever to download... but, thanks! :D | 15:33 |
| rapha | I just installed 8.10 - what happened to SSH? Public key authentication does not work anymore! | 15:33 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, they only take up a few mb of space | 15:33 |
| bazhang | wilhelmb, no | 15:33 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: ok then | 15:33 |
| mikejet | How often do you guys download updates? 8.10 is working great here on adm64 / 2cpu. | 15:33 |
| ikonia | lopin: it's only 2 gig, just double the cd install | 15:33 |
| darkvertex | Rotlaus_: link - like :( | 15:33 |
| bazhang | wilhelmb, try transmission | 15:33 |
| Pici | !doesntwork | rapha | 15:33 |
| ubottu | rapha: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 15:33 |

| ikonia | mikejet: how often you update depends on your setup | 15:34 |
| MaxFrames | hello, please help, I've upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and lost sound completely | 15:34 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | slayton: ok, here goes, starting backup | 15:34 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, again I'm sorry you're in this position but trust me when I say its worth it | 15:34 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, good luck! | 15:34 |
| npnux | hi help me for 8.10 dvr card programing pls | 15:34 |
| Frijolie | slart: sorry I was AFK for a bit...lemme run lspci | 15:34 |
| mikejet | Slart: How do you know that today's update is legit? It's not even listed on the security updates webpage. | 15:34 |
| exibo | bazhang: hmm | 15:34 |
| slayton | Hondo_Kitsune, come back here if you need help, if I'm not around there will be other people who are more the knowledgeable who can help you | 15:34 |
| Slart | Frijolie: no worries | 15:34 |
| bazhang | MaxFrames, check sound preferences and set to alsa; also try alsamixer in terminal | 15:34 |
| velko | ThipThip: then my suggestion is to boot the live cd on the laptop, chroot to the broken install, and run update-grub in order regenerate /boot/grub/menu.lst and (eventually) to reinstall grub to mbr | 15:34 |
| rapha | Pici: "does not work" means that despite of me using the ~/.ssh directory from my previous 8.04 installation, I cannot use public key authentication with SSH for some reason I don't know unfortunately | 15:34 |
| lopin | ikonia, The DVD only has additional language packs... :C | 15:35 |
| bazhang | npnux, for mythtv? | 15:35 |
| exibo | bazhang: after getting that errors from grub, after installing ubuntu, ive disconnected the windows hdd and installed ubuntu on that other drive | 15:35 |
| Slart | mikejet: "legit"? I've just set it to download updates once a day and apply security fixes right away | 15:35 |
| exibo | bazhang: seems that i have 2 grubs now | 15:35 |
| ikonia | lopin no, it has more packages on | 15:35 |
| wilhelmb | bazhang: yeah but i like ktorrent, do you know what could do | 15:35 |
| mikejet | ralpha: MAke sure the .ssh directory is not publically readable. Do "chmod go-r .ssh". | 15:35 |

| HK_PC | slayton: I am here on my pc | 15:35 |
| bazhang | wilhelmb, I would file a bug, and check launchpad for any bug workarounds | 15:35 |
| exibo | bazhang: one on the mdr on the windows drive and the other on the root | 15:35 |

| bazhang | abbas, what is your question | 15:36 |
| velko | ThipThip: grub is controlled by a config file. the layout of the hard disk changed. grub is no longer able to find the files it needs in order to boot | 15:36 |
| Rotlaus_ | darkvertex: On my second machine in the xorg.conf comments is the command to build the original one with dpkg-reconfigure | 15:36 |

| graingert | RediXe: did you see it while on windoze? | 15:44 |
| abe3k | bazhang : I want to stream it :) | 15:44 |
| velko | grub_n00b: sorry update-grub instead of grub-update... | 15:44 |

| graingert | abe3k: what driver does the eecam use | 15:45 |

| ikonia | geekboy you shouldn't be setting the root password | 15:46 |

| Fondor1 | philippe: it's in /usr/bin/ | 15:57 |
| velko | ThipThip: after that do the bind trick and the menu.lst regeneration | 15:57 |
| Tetracomm | bazhang: MegaTunix, it is not in the repositories. | 15:57 |
| exibo | bazhang: the tutorial you gave me shows some example fstab file | 15:57 |
| exibo | bazhang: and it is simply different | 15:57 |
| rufusdel1 | Bigmack> I think is the driver or the x-server | 15:57 |
| rufusdel1 | I have similar problems | 15:57 |
| bazhang | exibo, apart from fixing grub and fstab, not sure what other advice I can offer you | 15:57 |
| Frijolie | slart: i thought Intel was pretty "linux" friendly and released their hardware for drivers/support | 15:58 |
| Bigmack83 | well i changed settings in xorg.conf and they didnt work so i reverted it back to origional. but my display wont go back to the origional resolution | 15:58 |
| NetEcho | I see Intrepid isn't available from shipit yet | 15:58 |
| ThipThip | velko: after chrooting, I get this response to the bind trick: sudo:unable to resolve host ubuntu; mount: mount point /mnt/system/dev does not exist | 15:58 |
| exibo | bazhang: i have really no idea how to fix that grub | 15:58 |
| Slart | Frijolie: mm, I don't think intel is to blame for this.. they make the chip but I think toshiba makes the rest of the circuitry around it | 15:58 |
| Bigmack83 | rufusdel1, i tried reinstalling the nvidia-glx driver but it didnt work | 15:58 |
| krish[0] | krish: | 15:59 |
| Slart | Frijolie: as you saw on that page.. there are many many different models.. each company wants to make something special with it | 15:59 |
| franny | Bigmack83: Try CTRL + ATL + numpad +/- to change desktop res. | 15:59 |
| velko | ThipThip: uff - my bad. of course you first bind and after that chroot. the chrooted install have no notion of the ouside world. this is the whole point of chrooting anyway | 15:59 |

| guerby | hi, after upgrading to intrepid sound is no longer working, /proc/asound/ isn't even here (SiS AC97 hardware), I opened a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/291630 | 15:59 |
| ThipThip | velko: I think I see. So now, after having bound and chrooted, update-grub? | 16:00 |
| Frijolie | slart: but it's the chipset that does all the audio processing and then sends the signal(s) to the speakers. Intel, who i'm not placing blame, makes the drivers, right? | 16:00 |
| bazhang | http://www.msextra.com/viewtopic.php?p=151941 Tetracomm | 16:00 |
| guerby | any idea of what to try? | 16:00 |
| ThipThip | velko: In the chrooted world, there is no /boot/grub | 16:00 |
| truebosko | Quick question .. I began the upgrade process for Ibex last night on my hardy installation. I just let it run overnight and when I woke up I had a ton of failed packages so I just closed the upgrade down. Do I have to remove all the packages that WERE downloaded somewhere? Because I know for sure it was downloading for 5+ hours .. just dont want useless data sitting around | 16:00 |
| velko | ThipThip: yes | 16:00 |
| ThipThip | velko: No GRUB directory found | 16:00 |
| Tetracomm | bazhang: Even with that tutorial, won't I have to install gtk and gthread anyway? | 16:00 |
| velko | ThipThip: than you may check if grub is installed at all | 16:00 |
| velko | ThipThip: if not - install it | 16:00 |
| Fondor1 | truebosko: are you planning on upgrading later? | 16:00 |
| Slart | Frijolie: I'm not entirely sure of the exact layout.. but I think the intel chip is just the base that other companies build on | 16:00 |
| ThipThip | velko: Two things: 1) I know grub is installed because it runs at boot, and 2) might this be because I set /boot to a different partition (sda1)? | 16:01 |
| Slart | Frijolie: and I think toshiba makes their own drivers for their laptops | 16:01 |
| clint_ | When someone gets a chance, help me out with my audio on 8.10 | 16:01 |
| velko | ThipThip: right. you have to mount this partition now under /boot | 16:01 |
| guerby | clint_, is it the same as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/291630 | 16:01 |
| Tom_Davis | clint_: I am in the same boat, no audio with ibex | 16:01 |
| Bigmack83 | so if i just uninstalled my nvidia driver, would ubuntu revert to the default drivers and i can tell it to update/install the restricted drivers for it? | 16:01 |
| Frijolie | slart: so it could be Intel, ALSA, lack of kernel compiled drivers, PulseAudio, a corrupt configuration in my preferences, Toshiba....[list goes on] | 16:02 |
| clint_ | its just in my browser | 16:02 |
| schwalbe | exit | 16:02 |

| jernst1 | krish are you there ? | 16:02 |
| Slart | Frijolie: I would concentrate on the alsa part.. but sure.. it could be lots of things | 16:02 |

| dj_ivocha | Question: After installing 8.04 on my IBM X31 notebook, my previous installation of WinXP won't boot any more - it bluescreens with a STOP message 0x7b (boot device inaccessible or something). Linux still sees the windows partition, but the latter's recovery console doesn't. FIXMBR didn't help | 16:07 |
| Frijolie | slart: yeah, i'm aware of launchpad and the process of submitting bug reports. however, it could just be an isolated scenario which would be unable to replicate and therefore unfixed | 16:07 |

| samad909 | hi how do I find the md5sum for the ubuntu-8.10 release...it is not listed in the wiki | 16:29 |
| n8tuser | Judgement-> i dont know, maybe you can turn off some bios settings in APM | 16:29 |
| Slart | !md5 | 16:30 |
| exibo | Mion: ah | 16:30 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 16:30 |
| outbackwifi | exibo: pressing 'a' in fdisk on that partition should do the trick | 16:30 |
| sceo | n8tuser - yes I have two nameservers in there (opendns), nslookup says it's trying to use them | 16:30 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> you have a valid nameserver to use? look in your /etc/resolv.conf | 16:30 |
| exibo | outbackwifi: okay i will try this | 16:30 |

| norbs101 | ubuntu server wont boot after intallation of the ISO. Installed on a HP server with a hardware RAID 10. The installer found and paritions the drives. However when the install is done and reboot. I get a message that c:\windows isn't found and it wont boot. I thought installing grub or lilo, well just a complete install should have update the boot records.. but I might be wrong. Any help wold be greatly appreciated. | 16:30 |
| samad909 | slart: i know how to check the md5, the md5 is not listed in the site only upto 8.04-1 | 16:30 |
| Mion | E-XtraCt: use the package system to install the drivers instead | 16:30 |
| Oprtz | Mion: it is in the same workgroup " HOME" | 16:31 |
| sceo | outbackwifi - turns out there's not much to paste :) there's just "kernel IP routing table" then the table headers on the next line, but then... nothing (right back to command prompt) | 16:31 |
| Judgement | okay, thanks. I'll try that! | 16:31 |

It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 16:43 |

| sceo | outbackwifi but opening up a web site by IP works in firefox | 16:44 |

| Gnutoo | Raphi974, Tom_Davis, that will ask questions and will reconfigure things like Xorg | 16:45 |
| norbs101 | n8tuser -> i create a /boot as the first primary | 16:45 |
| gyven | matteo_ if you are browsed to the directory you are trying to run the file, you need to specify it is in that current director with ./ (./first.sh) - also ensure that the file is set as executable (ls -lathr inside the directory will show you the permissions) if it is not set with x, do so with a chmod | 16:45 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: if you add the -vv switch it is more verbose, you will know what its hanging for | 16:45 |
| Tom_Davis | Gnutoo: no that will make dpkg functional again | 16:45 |
| Azhi_Dahaka_ | ok... i made one partition, but a have a lot of free space | 16:45 |
| Gnutoo | Tom_Davis, ouch...there is no other solution? | 16:45 |
| E-XtraCt | what is the firefox's dir ? | 16:45 |
| Azhi_Dahaka_ | can i make a partition, clone my hardy install into it and then try the Intrepid update? | 16:45 |
| Alpo\ | Gnutoo: do sudo dpkg --configure -a , NOT dpkg-reconfigure -a because the latter will reconfigure all | 16:45 |
| Azhi_Dahaka_ | and then if anything goes wrong, roll back into the original hardy install? | 16:46 |
| Gnutoo | Alpo\, ah ok | 16:46 |
| n8tuser | norbs101-> and what happens when it boots to that? does it matches whats in your menu.lst ? | 16:46 |
| Yimpolo | . | 16:46 |
| exibo | Mion: didnt work : / | 16:46 |
| outbackwifi | Azhi_Dahaka_: yes with a fresh install | 16:46 |

| psp | Anybody else getting that gnome-keyring-daemon error? | 16:46 |
| matteo_ | i have setted the permission i was triyng to run the script without tipyng the PATH is possible? | 16:46 |

| winenvine | when I install Java, how can I really locate where Firefox is? There seems to be everywhere. | 17:06 |
| summel | i would use arch, but that pc only has an i586++ cpu :/ | 17:06 |

| Goran_ | how can ubuntu 7.04 have greater flops than other ubuntus? | 17:06 |
| sceo | n8tuser; that was outbackwifi's suggestion to try - before I had the 208's and it still didn't work. I will remove 4.2.2.2 now - is there something I need to do to make it "re-read" resolv.conf? | 17:06 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> it automatically uses that file lest you have the entry in /etc/hosts | 17:07 |
| huuee | hello | 17:07 |

| AlexCONRAD | hi, I just upgraded to Intrepid. After reboot then login+password in my session, my session takes a long time to start after the sound theme was played... like frozen for 30 seconds or so (the mouse cursor is stuck on the waiting icon). Then my autostarted apps are being launched correctly... any idea ? | 17:09 |
| Slart | Goran_: by using a different java engine.. better java settings.. different configurations etc etc | 17:09 |
| ay^ | winenvine: use synaptic | 17:09 |
| unop | sceo, can you ping that address? | 17:09 |

| winenvine | sorry it was jre 6 | 17:12 |
| unop | huuee, echo "packagename install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections | 17:12 |
| ay^ | odracir34: what does that mean? Are they working at all? | 17:12 |
| sceo | n8tuser it won't ping but I can surf around it in firefox | 17:12 |
| ay^ | winenvine: try the plugin and it should work :) | 17:12 |
| huuee | unop: i dont understand that command | 17:12 |
| winenvine | ta, will give it a go. | 17:12 |
| huuee | unop: will it lock that new package? | 17:12 |
| winenvine | Question, how do I address certain individuals on this channel? | 17:12 |
| winenvine | what is d command? | 17:12 |
| r3l1c | any idea why my apt-get update stopped working suddenly .. i install RC 8.10 when it was out | 17:12 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> if you can not ping your gateway, how the heck are you able to surf in firefox? what sites can you hit with firefox? | 17:12 |
| ay^ | winenvine: type their name :) | 17:13 |
| markmuetz | how do i go about debugging an Atheros wireless card? | 17:13 |
| sceo | n8tuser - anything on my local network | 17:13 |
| winenvine | ay^ | 17:13 |
| mochabcha | when I open a script in nautilus, and it gives shell output is there a program that lets me view that shell output without opening the script in terminal | 17:13 |
| markmuetz | i've run $dmesg |grep wifi | 17:13 |
| winenvine | If want to type thanks to ay^, just type so? | 17:13 |
| sceo | n8tuser - i.e. my mythbox's mythweb, my 2.99 access point, and my 2.1 router | 17:13 |
| markmuetz | and I've googled the error | 17:13 |
| markmuetz | to no avail | 17:13 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> but you want to access the internet, so you better make sure your gateway is working | 17:13 |
| ay^ | winenvine: and almost every irc-client has tab-completion to make it easier, fex you could type win then press tab and it jumps to winenvine :) | 17:13 |
| unop | huuee, to understand the command, have a read in the dpkg manpage (specifically set-selections) | 17:13 |
| mochabcha | when i open programs I want a program that displays the system shell output for me | 17:13 |
| ay^ | winenvine: yes that would be it! :) | 17:13 |
| markmuetz | anyone lend me a hand? | 17:13 |
| huuee | unop: thanks | 17:13 |
| mochabcha | then goes away | 17:13 |
| outbackwifi | !anyone | 17:13 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 17:13 |
| sceo | n8tuser - it must be working, I'm on my laptop right now behind the same setup | 17:13 |
| odracir34 | ay i can see them but i cannot get in de hds and usb divices | 17:14 |
| ay^ | winenvine: on my screan that turns into a special color that I most usually notices | 17:14 |
| winenvine | ay^: I see | 17:14 |
| markmuetz | why !anyone? | 17:14 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> why do you hav a 2.99 and 2.1 can you explain? | 17:14 |
| winenvine | ay^: thanks. | 17:14 |
| r3l1c | is there a way to reset /etc/apt/sources.list to original state ? | 17:14 |
| ay^ | odracir34: does it help if you are root doing it? | 17:14 |
| Alpo\ | I got X working by adding Option "forcemonitors" "crt1,notv" in xorg.conf , but display looks unusably weird | 17:14 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: i am a little sceptical about that gateway ip of yours; its non-standard | 17:14 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> if they are the same setup, compare their gateways | 17:14 |
| vatts | Hello i just went on shipit page | 17:14 |
| sceo | n8tuser - the 2.1 doesn't have wireless, it's a vonage router | 17:14 |
| ay^ | winenvine: np, good luck ubuntuing :) | 17:14 |
| vatts | and today it's 31th of october but what | 17:15 |
| odracir34 | must be superuser to mount | 17:15 |
| vatts | shipit fails | 17:15 |
| vatts | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) has not been released yet, but we'll record your request and send you a CD as soon as that happens. Note that delivery will take from six to ten weeks once it is sent. | 17:15 |
| n8tuser | sceo better yet, explain to us your network layout, its confusing..what device is connected to which? | 17:15 |
| odracir34 | that is on the details | 17:15 |
| angel12-lappy | hey guys, whenever i try to connect to a network share (on my windows 2003 server) i get an error saying no application is registered to handle this file, or when i type smb://myserver into nautilus, it willshow an empty folder. | 17:15 |
| smacfarl | hey where is the new time tracker app in 8.10? and how do I upgrade to Open Office 3.0, it doesn't seem to be in synaptic. | 17:15 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: y dont you draw a diagram :) | 17:15 |
| Alpo\ | the GDM screen is all white and light gray, and the cursor is a box | 17:15 |
| ay^ | odracir34: yes, so can you access them while being root? | 17:15 |
| koruptid | n8tuser: I can't find any way in Passwords & Encryption to change keyring settings.... the only things I see are for PGP | 17:15 |
| sysadmin | damn ldap auth broke | 17:15 |
| sysadmin | su - frith | 17:15 |
| sysadmin | doh :D | 17:15 |
| === sysadmin is now known as frith | ||
| soundray | vatts: it hasn't been released on shipit CDs yet, so have a bit of patience | 17:16 |
| n8tuser | koruptid-> google for keyring manager and networking in ubuntu ? | 17:16 |
| vatts | soundray: ok | 17:16 |
| ay^ | odracir34: what I remember from back in the days when I had one of my disk formatted in ntfs, something got mucked up and I could only mount it readable for root | 17:16 |
| mochabcha | I want to know where is the output of a script that the system runs or does | 17:16 |
| mochabcha | it have one | 17:16 |
| ay^ | odracir34: thats why I ask | 17:16 |
| odracir34 | ay i see | 17:16 |
| soundray | mochabcha: it could be in /var/log/syslog, or in another file in the same directory | 17:16 |
| digitig | koruptid: I'm back! Both drives that I want to mount at startup are NTFS formatted. | 17:16 |
| sceo | n8tuser, outbackwifi - ok so I have a vonage router that only has wired connections, and he's 2.1 and he's connected to the cable modem. I have a 2.99 hanging off of that, which is a linksys running dd-wrt. the linksys controls dhcp, and hands out an IP and the opendns servers. so, the gateway for anything connected on the wireless is 2.99 -- I could put the dd-wrt router (linksys 2.99 into "router" mode which it seems like it should be in anyway - but it ma | 17:17 |
| outbackwifi | ay^: these days you use ntfs-3g which lets you read and write | 17:17 |
| koruptid | digitig, okay | 17:17 |
| jerbear | is aptitude still the recommended apt front-end? | 17:17 |
| ay^ | outbackwifi: hehe "back in the days" was about 6months ago :) | 17:17 |
| jerbear | for intrepid | 17:17 |
| koruptid | digitig, open a terminal window | 17:17 |
| lolnoob | Can I disable keyring completely? | 17:17 |
| SimoneB | is there a way to know how the ubuntu kernel has been built? which modules are there, which not, which are builtin? | 17:17 |
| smacfarl | hello? any takers? | 17:17 |
| digitig | koruptid: ok | 17:17 |
| * outbackwifi thought "back in the days" meant 1996 (redhat 6.1) | 17:18 | |
| Alpo\ | jerbear: if you have nothing graphical then yes | 17:18 |
| koruptid | digitig, okay, do you have both UUID's written down? | 17:18 |
| Slart | smacfarl: iirc openoffice 3.0 was deemed to unstable.. so it's not in the repos | 17:18 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: you need to change default gateway to 2.1 | 17:18 |
| soundray | SimoneB: the config file goes to /boot/config-$(uname -r) | 17:18 |
| sceo | outbackwifi is there a way to force that in ubuntu so I can test without changing the whole network? | 17:18 |
| Alpo\ | I got X working by adding Option "forcemonitors" "crt1,notv" in xorg.conf , but display looks unusably weird, the gdm screen is all white and gray and the mouse cursor is a block | 17:18 |
| koruptid | smacfarl, you can install ooo3 from the launchpad repo | 17:19 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> why not put the linksys in-front of your vonage router instead of behind it? that way you can control the linksys, dont know if yuo have full control of vonage router settings | 17:19 |
| ay^ | outbackwifi: hehe no, back in THOSE days I barely knew what a computer was | 17:19 |
| SimoneB | soundray: something more human-readable? | 17:19 |
| K-O-D | I am unable to install compizconfig-settings-manager on my ubuntu 8.10 32 bit install - where can I find this package? | 17:19 |
| huuee | unop: autoremove still wants to remove my different package. any idea? | 17:19 |
| jerbear | Alpo\: for some reason, whenever i try to install some build dependencies (for vim-full, in this case).. the next time i try to install some packages, it says that it wants to remove all of those build deps b/c they're not in use | 17:19 |
| sceo | n8tuser I do have a fair amount of control... that might make sense, too | 17:19 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: yes use the sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.162.2.1 after you delete the earlier route with sudo route del -net 0.0.0.0 | 17:19 |
| clint_ | tom davis! | 17:19 |
| digitig | koruptid: I do now. | 17:20 |
| soundray | SimoneB: no, you have to use Configure.help from the linux-source package to understand what the entries mean | 17:20 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> well you have linksys dolling out an ip, that may be in conflict with vonage, so do the righ thing, and not have too many dhcp servers in a subnet | 17:20 |
| clint_ | Back on 8.04 TD | 17:20 |
| Alpo\ | jerbear: mark them as used by pressing m | 17:20 |
| koruptid | smacfarl, add "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" to your /etc/apt/sources.list if you want ooo3 | 17:20 |
| RUMMY | which command line web browser is best under ubuntu? | 17:20 |
| sceo | n8tuser; well I did disable dhcp on the vonage router | 17:20 |
| soundray | SimoneB: if you have a specific question about the kernel config, try asking here | 17:20 |
| K-O-D | I am unable to install compizconfig-settings-manager on my ubuntu 8.10 32 bit install - where can I find this package? | 17:20 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: ideally if your linksys is working like a router, it should hand off ips in a diff subnet | 17:20 |
| sceo | n8tuser so I do only have one dhcp server on the network | 17:20 |
| VSpike | If I have the info "fusesmb[16090]: segfault at 4 ip b7c03590 sp b5514dc0 error 4 in libsmbclient.so.0[b7b88000+386000]", and I have the symbol files loaded for fusesmb and libsmbclient, how can I view the line of code causing the problem? | 17:21 |
| koruptid | digitig, okay, first "cd /mnt/" | 17:21 |
| Helol | r/"2 | 17:21 |
| soundray | !ccsm | K-O-D | 17:21 |

| Slart | RUMMY: try this.. type !best in the channel | 17:21 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> how do you know how the vonage handle an ip address that it has not doled out? | 17:21 |
| digitig | koruptid: ok | 17:21 |
| sceo | outbackwifi; I definitely have them behaving on the same subnet | 17:21 |

| jedimind | how do you go about installing a ttf font in ubuntu ? | 17:21 |
| jerbear | Alpo\: i'm not using the curses gui. i'm doing this directly at the command line... so: sudo apt-get build-dep vim-full; sudo aptitude install foo | 17:21 |
| soundray | !info compizconfig-settings-manager | K-O-D | 17:21 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: then put the ip of the vonage as the gateway in the dhcp server settings in linksys | 17:21 |
| ubottu | k-o-d: compizconfig-settings-manager (source: compizconfig-settings-manager): Compiz configuration settings manager. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.7.8-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 619 kB, installed size 4048 kB | 17:21 |
| sceo | n8tuser because the other 4 machines on my network are fine, just not the one I just upgraded to ibex? | 17:21 |
| smacfarl | koruptid thanks. Will do. What about the time manager app? Which one was addeds? I can't find it. | 17:21 |
| crsn | Hi all I did apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and my ubuntu server is updated. but when I try do-release-upgrade it says there is no new release found :P | 17:21 |
| soundray | K-O-D: have you enabled the universe repo? | 17:21 |
| outbackwifi | jedimind: just copy it to /usr/share/fonts/truetype | 17:21 |
| K-O-D | soundray, how very odd its saying package not found... | 17:22 |
| Tundrayeti312 | !font | jedimind | 17:22 |

| K-O-D | im doing an apt-get update hold on | 17:22 |
| jedimind | cool thank you outbackwifi | 17:22 |
| Slart | RUMMY: links and lynx are the two I've used | 17:22 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> look in the vonage router status see how it handles the ip address possibly not on its range..check the settings | 17:22 |

| outbackwifi | RUMMY: add w3m to that list | 17:22 |
| jedimind | outbackwifi: do i have to restart anything before they are recognized ? or is it immediate | 17:22 |
| soundray | Boricua: your home directory stays untouched. Make a backup before you upgrade, anyway. | 17:22 |
| Boricua | ok thanks :P | 17:23 |
| koruptid | digitig, now you need to create to separate mount points (folders) for the two drives.... "sudo mkdir [folder name here]" | 17:23 |
| outbackwifi | jedimind: this is linux; no restarting/rebooting required | 17:23 |
| insomninja | in order to squeeze some extra performance from ETQW I made an .xinitrc script to run ETQW only, but there I get no sound, but in gnome I do, is there some sort of daemon or somesuch that needs to be started? | 17:23 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> and how did those other four host got their ip addresses? you have a unique setup that would be difficult to make work | 17:23 |
| K-O-D | soundray, its saying couldnt find package | 17:23 |
| soundray | K-O-D: have you enabled the universe repo? | 17:23 |
| jedimind | outbackwifi: and should i creat a folder for it? or just copy the ttf into the /fonts/truetype/ and thats it? | 17:23 |
| paco_the_bot | :) | 17:23 |
| K-O-D | soundray, I think its enabled by default | 17:23 |

| psp | Omg | 17:23 |
| outbackwifi | jedimind: you could just drop it there | 17:24 |

| K-O-D | I had one | 17:24 |
| digitig | koruptid: ok. | 17:24 |
| jedimind | outbackwifi: thanks | 17:24 |
| K-O-D | and it is enabled | 17:24 |
| clint_ | ?? | 17:24 |
| K-O-D | so how do I get this package installed | 17:24 |
| Alpo\ | ubuntu has too many cli programs installed by default, for example vim,nano and ed although only one of them would actually be needed | 17:24 |
| imotic | my wired network is constantly going out on me now... my wireless on windows is much more stable than wired on intrepid | 17:24 |
| clint_ | package manager | 17:24 |
| outbackwifi | jedimind: let us know if that worked | 17:24 |
| koruptid | digitig, next you need to open your fstab file to edit it.... "sudo gedit /etc/fstab &" | 17:24 |
| soundray | K-O-D: then I don't know why you can't find it. Maybe you're spelling it wrong | 17:24 |
| imotic | anybody know why the wired network would be unstable? | 17:25 |
| Sunny_Hare | hi | 17:25 |
| sceo | n8tuser, outbackwifi the vonage router is 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0 on the network, and dhcp server is disabled, the linksys is 2.99/255.255.255.0 and is the dhcp server. the whole netmask is available to use, but the dhcp server just hands out between 100 and 150 to the average jamoke (i have 2.5 reserved for my desktop so I can port-forward stuff) -- all the other machine on my network get dhcp from the linksys, but many of them have reservations based on ma | 17:25 |
| K-O-D | soundray, that was it. Thank you for your help and my apologies for the idiocy. | 17:25 |
| smacfarl | there is a base-files security update for Intrepid. Anyone know anything about it? | 17:25 |
| digitig | koruptid: ok, I have the editor open. | 17:25 |
| sd32 | well the new ubuntu has failed me... after burning and checking the cd tried to boot the live cd in two systems one system gives me io errors on boot, and the second boots but firefox failes to start after clicking on the icon | 17:25 |
| soundray | K-O-D: :) happens to all of us | 17:25 |
| koruptid | digitig, now you need to add a line for each of the mappings.... the one for my windows drive looks like this: "UUID=3EEA4769EA471D11/mnt/windrvntfs-3grw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other00" | 17:26 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: the point is that the linksys is sending out the gateway as 2.99 which is not correct; just change that to 2.1 and everything should work | 17:26 |
| jedimind | outbackwifi: worked like a charm, thanks again | 17:26 |
| sceo | outbackwifi; well, I did a route del / route add on my desktop and it's still not working | 17:26 |
| outbackwifi | jedimind: yw | 17:26 |
| amigrave | how can I use the windows key in order to assign shortcuts ? I go to System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcut then I want to use Win+Right for action "switch to workspace on the right" but it doesn't work. When I click on button in order to change the shortcut, I press Win+Right but the button caption becomes "SuperL" | 17:26 |
| Shaye | Is it possible to work with 2 monitors on ubuntu with no much trouble? :P | 17:26 |
| n8tuser | sceo pastebin the route -ran or netstat -an of your windows hosts lets compare them | 17:26 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: what does your route look like now? | 17:26 |
| koruptid | digitig, the first part is the location of the drive... in this case by UUID | 17:26 |
| Alpo\ | I got X working by adding Option "forcemonitors" "crt1,notv" in xorg.conf , but display looks unusably weird, the gdm screen is all white and gray and the mouse cursor is a square, I'm using an ati card and installed the driver with envyng | 17:27 |
| koruptid | digitig, the next part is the path to mount your drive to | 17:27 |
| Slart | Shaye: not sure if there is an easy gui way of doing it | 17:27 |
| sceo | outbackwifi; after the route del /route add I see [ 0.0.0.0 using gw 192.168.2.1] | 17:27 |
| n8tuser | sceo those from the four other host that you said were working | 17:27 |
| Slart | !twinview | Shaye | 17:27 |
| ubottu | Shaye: twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings | 17:27 |
| linux_trojan | I got a quick question, Ubuntu is coming out with a new release, should I rush to install or wait a few weeks to see if it is stable? | 17:27 |
| outbackwifi | Slart: Shaye use grandr | 17:27 |
| Alpo\ | linux_trojan: if you have ati video card then wait | 17:28 |
| koruptid | digitig, then the filesystem to use... you'll want to use ntfs-3g for yours and the options I listed after that... and the 0 0 is also necessary | 17:28 |
| Slart | outbackwifi: grandr.. xrandr for gnome? sounds interesting | 17:28 |
| n8tuser | linux_trojan-> you can join the fray..and start pulling hairs out..lol | 17:28 |
| Alpo\ | linux_trojan: also check bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid before upgrading | 17:28 |
| linux_trojan | I guess is just a gamble | 17:28 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: now if you do a traceroute to an ip outside the vonage you should be able to see where the packets are going to | 17:28 |
| M0E-lnx | guys... I'm trying to connect a laptop using a one of those USB modems from verizon ... gnome-ppp used to work in hardy for that.. but now in intrepid, it says I have bad permissions on /etc/ppp/ppp-secrets | 17:28 |
| M0E-lnx | can someone suggest anything? | 17:28 |
| Slart | linux_trojan: wait a few weeks if you just want a working system | 17:28 |
| sceo | n8tuser, outbackwifi; http://pastebin.com/d754239bf that's the route -n from my working mythbox | 17:28 |
| tonisius | Meh, too many people here, but here goes: How do I enable user auth on a remote ubuntu SMTP server?? | 17:28 |
| smacfarl | any takers on what the base-files security update is about in intrepid? | 17:29 |
| n8tuser | sceo and the other four host you mentioned? | 17:29 |
| linux_trojan | yea I just want a working system, what else could I want? | 17:29 |
| hubar | hi all! | 17:29 |
| lifestream | Hello hubar! | 17:29 |

| Slart | linux_trojan: a bleeding edge system to impress your friends with? =) | 17:29 |
| linux_trojan | oh I see | 17:29 |
| sceo | outbackwifi; yeah I'm apt-get installing traceroute on the mythbox now | 17:29 |

| lifestream | linux_trojan, hey I just joined the channel, can you tell us again what problems you are having (im kinda interested ;p) | 17:30 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: is the linksys connected to the vonage via internet port or lan port? | 17:30 |
| linux_trojan | there were lots of bugs in the 8.0 system | 17:30 |
| kebomix | help me plz | 17:30 |
| hubar | With a question, what do I do with emerald theme? How do i apply one?? | 17:30 |
| lifestream | Skry^, eh, I got both intrepid and linux mint 5 and both run very very fast on my laptop, with nice effects too. Very fast | 17:30 |
| digitig | koruptid: Ok. Now File->Save? | 17:30 |
| linux_trojan | I am having problems with specifying a fixed IP with m WEP system | 17:30 |
| Rorgo | does anyone know if a '0' at the end of a mount definition in fstab means that the filesystem will never be checked, or just not periodically checked? That is, in the filesystem is shut down uncleanly, will it still check it regardless of that number? | 17:31 |
| linux_trojan | I can go wep and DHCP but not fixed IP | 17:31 |
| koruptid | digitig, yes... and then a reboot | 17:31 |
| Yimpolo | Is the X window system fast enough to stream video over the local network? | 17:31 |

| kebomix | hello , after i downloaded ubuntu 8.10 and burned it on cd , after boot and while it try to load ubuntu live to install it , it give me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/65304/ ? what is wrong with it ? | 17:31 |
| Sunny_Hare | flood channel | 17:31 |
| smacfarl | koruptid by adding that line to sources.list I get a bunch of updates. Trying to install them warns me that they can't be authenticated? What is that about? | 17:31 |
| Slart | Rorgo: check the man page.. I think it's not checked automatically on every X boots | 17:31 |
| hubar | lifestream: yes I have it. | 17:31 |
| linux_trojan | when I set up my net work I can belive that I have to actually specify the name of my network, Mandriva doesnt make you do that for WEP | 17:32 |
| outbackwifi | Yimpolo: what do you mean? the X window system has got nothing to do with streaming video | 17:32 |
| xnv | Anyone know how to change your hostname via GUI in 8.10? | 17:32 |
| linux_trojan | *cant belive | 17:32 |
| koruptid | smacfarl, the packages on launchpad don't have authentication.... because they are beta packages | 17:32 |
| Rorgo | Slart: thanks. The man page is a little unclear on it | 17:32 |

| prower | hello...my network card (e1000e based chipset) has been affected by the kernel bug that was supposed to be fixed before the final release :< is there any way to recover it | 17:32 |
| koruptid | smacfarl, I told it to continue and installed without issue | 17:32 |
| sd32 | can anyone tell me why firefox 3 fails to load in the new version | 17:32 |
| hubar | lifestream: i have the emerald theme manager too in system->.administration, I was wondering how I can use it. | 17:32 |
| KalEl | my internal hard disk drives are all suddenly showing up as removable drives! | 17:32 |
| lifestream | hubar in that case you should be able to double click the theme_name.emerald, and a window will come up with your options, pick what you want, then on a terminal, type emerald --replace& You can also to go your session preferences, and type that line as a command there, so it launches every time you login | 17:32 |
| linux_trojan | the only good thing about Ubuntu is that it comes configured for flash and has a great forum | 17:33 |
| evan__ | hey how the hack can i unlock my recievedirectory , apt claims to have an unreacheble helpsource | 17:33 |

| hubar | lifestream: theme_name? | 17:33 |
| KalEl | my internal hard disk drives are all suddenly showing up as removable drives! how can i tell ubuntu that they are actually not removable? | 17:33 |
| hubar | lifestream: where do I find that file? | 17:33 |
| koruptid | smacfarl, no idea.... from what I was reading on the forums they don't seem to be in any hurry to make the trainsition to 3.0 | 17:33 |
| Eric2 | yesterday i did a update that updated java and afterward a java program of mine said that my java directory didnt exist so all i had to do was point it in the right direction but what happened? | 17:33 |
| linux_trojan | well anyway, I guess I will wait a month to get the latest Ubuntu, I want a working system and not bleeding edge | 17:34 |
| DoYouKnow | lifestream, so depending on my router config and network config, different programs will have different speeds? | 17:34 |
| lifestream | hubar, do you have a theme that you want to install? Or are you looking to make one? ^_^; | 17:34 |
| outbackwifi | sceo: see the gateway is 2.1 | 17:34 |

| ubottu | Kartagis: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 17:36 |
| lifestream | hey kebomix I saw your error. I think that you burnt the CD at a high speed. Can you burn the ISO at the LOWEST speed possible? I know it sounds silly, but burning at high speed can cause errors on the CD | 17:36 |
| KalEl | koruptid, nope, it's the same one i've been using for 3 years now | 17:36 |
| pz8 | Eric2, how to do that?? | 17:36 |

| digitig | koruptid: Ok, I'm back. Now the drives don't appear under the places, and I can't see them under /mnt/ directories. Does that mean I got something wrong, or is there another step? | 17:36 |

| sd32 | oh | 17:38 |
| Eric2 | pz8, when on the klive cd go to menu > places | 17:38 |
| markmuetz | hubar: don't fancy the ndiswrapper approach, have heard it's quite hard and doesn't always work for my card | 17:38 |
| Eric2 | pz8, you should see your partition | 17:38 |

| jNoxx | but radeon mustdie)) | 17:44 |
| snova | Eric2: everything is set up correctly, but nothing shows up if i type something in the box. (i'm comfortable with Ubuntu, just not with synaptic) | 17:44 |
| tonisius | Meh, too many people here, but here goes: How do I enable user auth on a remote ubuntu SMTP server?? | 17:45 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> what you paste for windowsxp route table... for one machine or four? | 17:45 |
| Alpo\ | Appi: remember you cannot save anything to system directories | 17:45 |
| outbackwifi | E-XtraCt: yes if you setup a sym link from the ubuntu firefox folder to the vista | 17:45 |
| Eric2 | snova did you check your software sources? | 17:45 |
| whoop | need help setting up static ip on intrepid! It got lost when I upgraded from hardy. Tried allot of things, nothing worked. | 17:45 |
| sceo | n8tuser just that one windows machine | 17:45 |
| E-XtraCt | outbackwifi: how can I do that ? | 17:45 |
| Appi | Pici: I modified the existing one and trying to save it but it says i have no permission, I have little knowledge on chown | 17:46 |
| norbert | hello everyone | 17:46 |
| outbackwifi | tonisius: this should point you in the right direction --> http://linux.about.com/od/ubusrv_doc/a/ubusg29t05.htm | 17:46 |

| Pici | Appi: What directory is the file in? Is it in your home folder? Somewhere else? | 17:46 |
| DasEi | Appi: opened with an editor ? | 17:46 |
| digitig | koruptid: Back again (isn't a reboot /quick/ under Ubuntu!) and all seems to be working fine. Many thanks. | 17:46 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> does that make sense to you? having those different subnets? 64.233.183.17 67.x.x.x 68.x.x 152.10.x.x 205.x .x.x and 208.x.x.x | 17:46 |
| lolnoob | Anybody got solution with that gnome-keyring-daemon problem? | 17:46 |
| tonisius | outbackwifi: thanks | 17:46 |
| Eric2 | brb | 17:47 |
| snova | Eric2: now it's only showing installed packages. | 17:47 |
| koruptid | digitig, no worries..... for future not, you can escape a reboot by using the command "mount [path]" | 17:47 |
| koruptid | *note | 17:47 |
| alfredo0305 | the LiveCD gets me into a "(initramfs)" prompt. this didn't happen with 7.10 for example. any hints where to search for the problem? | 17:47 |
| DasEi | Appi: either you can use sth like gksu gedit >pythonfile< or use chmod or chown to change ownwership of the file | 17:47 |
| outbackwifi | E-XtraCt: a) mount the Vista partition in /etc/fstab b) use ln -s to create a symbolic link | 17:47 |
| Maeva | the new ubuntu 8.10 is really great, it starts up more fast and more hardware is detected from in the beginning :) however I don't hear any sound. I have a HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia | 17:48 |
| digitig | koruptid: Thanks -- but as they now boot at startup I shouldn't need that :-) | 17:48 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> also what the heck you have 2.1 and 2.4 as gateways? and then 192.168.2.99 as default..you have one heck of strange setup | 17:48 |
| sceo | n8tuser - yeah, I think windows is dynamically adding routes... I just went to one of the IPs and got a web site for a spa (I know my girlfriend was looking at spas yesterday) | 17:48 |
| koruptid | digitig, good times... speaking of... did those show up in your Places? | 17:48 |
| norbert | anyone here with knowledge about dual screen + nvidia + x ? | 17:48 |
| Appi | DesEi: the file already and I am trying to save the modified one. ye you right I dont know how chown works | 17:48 |
| whoop | Does anybody else have problems with static ip in intrepid ? | 17:49 |
| Eric2 | snova could it be your connection? | 17:49 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> nope, that does not make sense, dynamically adding routes..lest your system is hacked and the remote can change your route for you | 17:49 |
| sceo | n8tuser; yes it's admittedly very weird - but I think it's something weird we're overlooking. I can surf 2.99 on ibex, but I can't ping or traceroute it! makes me initally think there's just a firewall blocking icmp or something weird | 17:49 |
| debeee | Does anyone have wireless working on Intrpid. I use an AR242X | 17:49 |
| DasEi | Appi: (nick-spelling!) in terminal : sudo chown >UrUsername< >Phythonfile< | 17:49 |
| digitig | koruptid: No, I went in through Places->Computer and selected filesystem. | 17:49 |

| linux_trojan | I was wondering if I should download the new UBUNTU immediately or if I should wait a few weeks to let the bugs work themselves out? | 17:49 |
| sceo | n8tuser; but then, nslookup should still work since its tcp/udp on 53 | 17:49 |
| linux_trojan | any suggestions? | 17:49 |
| DasEi | Appi: your standard username ? | 17:49 |
| outbackwifi | linux_trojan: wait for a month | 17:50 |
| n8tuser | sceo-> tell you what, do a drawing so we can comprehend your network layout, and put the ip addresses on the drawing, it does not make sense from what you pasted so far.. | 17:50 |
| koruptid | digitig, k..... you can add a link to those in your places by dragging them into the left bar in the file manager | 17:50 |
| snova | Eric2: of course not, i'm right here! but when i open synaptic, type 'vim' in the box, i only get two results- both are installed. and i know there are other vim related packages that are installed, and some that are not installed. | 17:50 |
| Appi | DasEi; | 17:50 |
| linux_trojan | that seems to be everyones advice, I think I will wait | 17:50 |
| Appi | Ok | 17:50 |

| norbert | anyone here with knowledge about dual screen + nvidia + x ? | 17:50 |

| profanephobia | ok so i can i tell networkmanager to use PAP authentication instead of CHAP for a GPRS connection? | 18:47 |
| magnetron | [TiZ]→ you need to get it from a fast mirror, don't use the main servers | 18:47 |

| erUSUL | mich: seems pretty low in ram try xubuntu instead (or buy more ram) | 18:47 |
| [TiZ] | ZZT32, AlabamaHit, magnetron: Thanks for your answers. I have the desktop CD already downloaded; can I use it as a package source to expedite the process? | 18:48 |
| magnetron | [TiZ]→ no, if you want to do that you need the alternate disc. | 18:48 |

| AlabamaHit | Hi, is Simple Compiz Manager not installed in 8.10? I can not seem to find it..If it is could you driect me? | 18:52 |
| ay^ | Or when rtorrent is checking hashes.. | 18:52 |
| Marupa | ay^: This happens if I try to copy say, 1GB from drive to drive. | 18:52 |

| kinections | i changed the resolution in ubuntu 8.10.1, and apparently, the monitor can't handle it, i can't see anything, and it didn't revert back, how do I reset my resolution without rm-ing all my settings files? | 18:52 |
| felix-da-catz | So for some reason when I plug in this USB bluetooth dongle I just see a ton of messages come across the screen. I am assuming they are some kind of error. But I need to be able to figure out how to get the messages to stop showing up on every terminal window. I have changed *.emerg <tab> * to /dev/tty8 and that doesn't seem to do it. How can I prevent this message from going crazy when I plug the bluetooth dongle in? | 18:53 |
| Marupa | magnetron: Any ideas? | 18:53 |
| ay^ | Marupa: hum.. thus sounds worse than me, though filecopy makes it all very slow as well, but 1GB goes "fairly" quick so it wont bother me TOO much | 18:53 |
| magnetron | Marupa→ you really haven't provided much info to make any conclusions out of | 18:53 |
| Marupa | ay^: The copy itself is fast enough. It's the system responsiveness when I copy. | 18:54 |
| thefool | just a quick question, when should I expect all the new packages from 8.10 to appear in my updater? | 18:54 |
| aherron | anyone else having issues with the nvidia driver v177? | 18:54 |
| Marupa | aherron: nope. | 18:54 |
| profanephobia | magnetron: sry to be a bother but theres nothing there, im not even really sure if this will even fix the problem i just cant think of anything else | 18:54 |
| felix-da-catz | The messages are like this: [333.000000] hci_sco_data_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 92 | 18:54 |
| ay^ | Marupa: how unresponsive does it get? Is it bareable, or totally useless? | 18:54 |
| bryant | you have to manually allow for the update to 8.1 if you're using 8.04LTS | 18:54 |
| aherron | Marupa: are you on a desktop or laptop? | 18:54 |
| aherron | my probems seem releated to waking from sleep | 18:54 |
| thefool | or do I have to manually do a dist upgrade? | 18:54 |
| Marupa | aherron: Desktop | 18:54 |
| mker | thefool: do you mean you're using 8.04 and want to upgrade t 8.10? | 18:54 |
| magnetron | profanephobia→ you ARE using intrepid, right? | 18:54 |
| thefool | bryant, how do I do that | 18:54 |
| thefool | mker, yep | 18:54 |
| Marupa | ay^: It sometimes takes as long as 20 seconds after I start typing in any window for it to even show up. | 18:55 |
| koruptid | kinections, you could try editing the xorg.conf manually | 18:55 |
| bryant | system->administration->update manager | 18:55 |
| ay^ | Marupa: oh thats BAD | 18:55 |
| aardshark | hello, is it me or do the ISO also fail for other people here for 8.10 | 18:55 |
| profanephobia | magnetron: whats intrepid? | 18:55 |
| Marupa | ay^: Yeah. | 18:55 |
| mker | thefool: go to software sources, there you can change to get upgrades from normal releases, I'm guessing it's set to LTS right now. | 18:55 |
| bryant | sorry, its not there. | 18:55 |
| magnetron | profanephobia→ ubuntu 8.10 | 18:55 |

| ay^ | Dethray: not really | 18:55 |
| dimitree | How can i see the version number of Blender when installing it trough Add/Remove ? | 18:55 |
| kinections | koruptid: however, i did find a file called monitors.xml in side of .config | 18:55 |
| jomodo | Dethray: just backup /etc :) | 18:55 |
| bryant | its in the preferences in the synaptic package manager :) | 18:55 |
| magnetron | profanephobia→ it has the version of network manager with GPRS support | 18:55 |
| Dethray | Good idea, jomodo | 18:56 |
| bryant | there's specific instructions in the 'get ubuntu' section of their website regarding upgrading | 18:56 |
| profanephobia | magnetron: no im using hardy i wasnt even aware of intrepid | 18:56 |
| koruptid | kinections, perhaps.... it has been a few versions since I last used ubuntu.... just started using it again and have run into my own laundry list of issues that nobody seems to want to acknowledge are problems | 18:56 |
| Marupa | Anyone? This is really ticking me off, cause I do a LOT of file copying and such. | 18:56 |
| ninjafury | I have intrepid and can't hear any sound. I'm using spdif as my output. How do I set this to be the default? | 18:56 |

| koruptid | kinections, can't confirm that... but I can absolutely confirm that they are installable | 18:58 |

| profanephobia | magnetron: ok thank you! | 18:58 |
| tonisius | magnetron: any suggested mirrors that work for my Edgy? | 18:59 |

| ninjafury | anyone? Need to force ALSA to use spdif as a default. | 18:59 |

| ay^ | Marupa: I have to get my son into bed now bbl | 18:59 |
| kinections | koruptid: i'd assume that synaptic has some messed up search if you can find it with apt-cache but not synaptic | 18:59 |
| kinections | koruptid: i can't help you too much though, since i don't use synaptic | 18:59 |

| kane77 | magnetron, well, but it fixed my problems with menubar displaying independently of applications (and over gnome panel) | 19:02 |
| pasteeater | thefool: if you get impatient you can change to a new mirror. i use one in my same state and it is lightning fast and not overwhelmed. | 19:02 |
| Bodsda | hi, i have my panels both at the top of my screen, with the {applications, places, system} bar at the top and the bar that shows open programs beneath it, sometimes when i log on i find they have switched places. not a major issue but a bit irritating, im running intrepid but this also happened on hardy | 19:02 |

| dimitree | Flannel, i cant figure out which version it is on the repos with add/remove | 19:07 |
| Yamakiri_ | ay^: thanks | 19:07 |
| Flannel | Elfranne: (well, unless you need to forward for your router, set up additional accounts, etc) | 19:07 |
| pasteeater | thefool: you can try to just download a package without installing: sudo apt-get install -d medit | 19:07 |
| Appl3Kork | So I finally got things working with the Ubuntu Server, I'm just now having difficulties connecting to it outside my home network? and is PPPoA a type of firewall? | 19:07 |
| Flannel | dimitree: Use synaptic instead, it'll tell you. | 19:07 |
| Maeva | I don't have any sound because I think my sound card isn't in the new kernel | 19:07 |
| Yamakiri_ | wait um ay^ there's no encrypt option :S | 19:07 |
| ummmd | nvidia module not found even though nvidia-glx-177 is installed??? | 19:07 |
| pasteeater | thefool: once you change to the mirror...nevermind useless | 19:07 |
| Elfranne | Flannel I have already done that but how do I start it ( command line ) | 19:07 |
| dimitree | Flannel, ok it says it's version 46 on the website its 48a ... | 19:08 |
| thefool | pasteeater, it seems synaptic has a test to select the best server where it pings them tries downloading small files etc and then picks one | 19:08 |
| ay^ | Yamakiri_: huh? I have one | 19:08 |
| ay^ | "Encrypt" | 19:08 |

| meglo | Does anyone here know of a good LVM Frontend? | 19:08 |
| compengi | when you set `nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24` why do you need to set the depth to 24 when it's by default? | 19:08 |
| ay^ | Yamakiri_: forth from the bottom | 19:08 |
| pasteeater | thefool: that's fancy. i don't use synaptic much. | 19:08 |
| koruptid | Marupa, I would google for issues with your SATA controller in ubuntu | 19:08 |
| Yamakiri_ | ay^: Dolphin doesn't have that | 19:08 |
| Naty | hi | 19:08 |
| emorris | I keep getting emails from cron which say "/etc/cron.daily/debtags: 4: debtags: not found; run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/debtags exited with return code 127" <-- any idea what this means/what I should do about it? | 19:08 |
| Naty | need some help | 19:08 |
| Flannel | Elfranne: the server will install and start by default | 19:08 |
| koruptid | Marupa, what version of the livecd are you using and what version of ubuntu is installed? | 19:08 |
| Appl3Kork | well in my router settings under firewall it says: Block Anonymous Internet Requests. Would I want that disabled so people could see the server? | 19:08 |
| ay^ | Yamakiri_: oh I have no clue what Dolphin is :) | 19:09 |
| Yamakiri_ | 4th from bottom is "add to places" | 19:09 |
| djhash | !ask | Naty | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Naty: 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. :-) | 19:09 |

| Flannel | dimitree: What from the newer versions are you interested in? | 19:09 |

| maestro444 | ummmd: didnt find the information which i need | 19:10 |
| djhash | Naty: type "/j #ubuntu-es" or if you are using KDE "j #kubuntu-es" | 19:10 |
| koruptid | anyone have any idea why keyrings wouldn't show up in the encryption and keyrings app?? | 19:10 |
| compengi | Naty, #ubuntu-es for ubuntu or #kubuntu-es for kubuntu | 19:10 |
| rmn | koruptid, ok, i'll try to pass that on. however will that work after reboot? i think they've tried the latter a few times | 19:10 |
| jltorrente | I want to clome my hardy partition into another one exactly the same size, then I will upgrade Hardy to Intrepid... if it doesn't work ok, restore the clone disk and pretend that nothing happened | 19:10 |

| compengi | subone, beause they had issues with aim | 19:12 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: i have an eeepc which has two physical volumes. i have made a lvm with two logical volumes | 19:12 |
| koruptid | rmn, it may need to be re-added to their session if they removed it | 19:12 |
| Flannel | tonisius: You really should be upgrading, edgy has been out of support for six months now. | 19:12 |
| koruptid | rmn, system > preferences > session | 19:12 |
| tonisius | Flannel: just trying to hold out till I have a replacement server ready in two weeks | 19:12 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: then encrypted these two volumes / and swap with cryptsetup.. everytime i boot i got to input passphrase twice.. | 19:12 |
| rmn | koruptid, excellent. thanks. | 19:12 |
| tonisius | but need to at least upgrade a few pieces of software | 19:12 |
| === jtisme is now known as jt66 | ||
| dimitree | Flannel, you got me there :) will check whats new now, but i used v46 a while ago when i tryed to switch to Linux again :) there were promisses of more custom interface and so on i hope they have it in this version | 19:12 |
| mirko_ | how to install dock on ubuntu 8.10, and which one? | 19:12 |
| truebosko | Quick question .. I began the upgrade process for Ibex last night on my hardy installation. I just let it run overnight and when I woke up I had a ton of failed packages so I just closed the upgrade down. Do I have to remove all the packages that WERE downloaded somewhere? Because I know for sure it was downloading for 5+ hours .. just dont want useless data sitting around | 19:13 |
| Marupa | koruptid: Do you think I should reinstall from the final? | 19:13 |
| paul__ | Does anybody know what causes this error here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/65350/ | 19:13 |
| koruptid | rmn, I can't speak to why they might have been screwing around in the session configuratiion... but hey, lol | 19:13 |
| mado | hi guys and gals ... oy ... i have a problem with sound ... i use kubuntu 8.10 ... i don't get it ... i had sound shortly before the desktop finished loading ... i heard a bit of the start up tune ... but now ... i don't have any sound at all ... weird ... can you help me?? | 19:13 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: how can i setup these volumens so that i have to input passphrase only once. | 19:13 |
| Flannel | tonisius: Alright. As long as you understand that you're not being updated with security things (which includes major ones such as the SSL RNG thing, and some DNS vulnerabilities), you can use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 19:13 |
| romes1 | is true that Federal Circuit Decides Software No Longer Patentable here the link http://www.pli.edu/patentcenter/blog.asp?view=plink&id=368 | 19:13 |
| ummmd | maestro444: do you have two separate volume groups? | 19:13 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: yes | 19:13 |
| csilk | paul__, yes, use sudo and make sure apt synaptic or anything else like that is running | 19:14 |
| koruptid | Marupa, I have my doubts that doing so would help... but if you don't have any files to lose I don't see where it would hurt to try | 19:14 |
| rmn | koruptid, hehehe. neither do i. i have freenx installed on it, and only have to give them instructions on how to open the router and maybe i'll get to see it for myself | 19:14 |
| csilk | *isn't | 19:14 |
| compengi | truebosko, you just rerun the upgrading and it would check which packages were downloaded and which failed and retry | 19:14 |
| Maeva | can I download I want to install a seperate linux header so that my soundcard is supporter by intreprid but how ? I use 64 bits | 19:14 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: wait .. no one volume group with two logical volumes | 19:14 |
| Marupa | koruptid: separate /home partition, so, no worries there. | 19:14 |
| ummmd | maestro444: i use a keyfile to unlock a second encrypted drive. | 19:14 |
| paul__ | csilk how exactly do i do that ? | 19:14 |
| emorris | paul__: yes, it means that you have more than one of synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, add/remove programs and update manager running at once | 19:14 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: with an usb stick? | 19:14 |
| Tom_Davis | ok this is odd, my hardy install of xubuntu beeps out the speakers at login, but no plays mp3 or other sounds | 19:14 |
| mirko_ | how to install (cairo,...) dock on ubuntu 8.10? | 19:14 |
| csilk | paul__, what are you doing in the first place to get that error? | 19:14 |
| blip- | hi, i'm running hardy... can someone please take a quick look at this, they are saying it causes a kernel panic in Hardy... but how did they even get bluez ? Only a few of the mentioned packages are in the repos.... http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInstallation/ConnectingBluetooth?highlight=%28bluetooth%29 | 19:14 |
| koruptid | Marupa, *shrug* go for it..... if I can't figure out the damn keyring issue I'm getting tempted to do so myself | 19:14 |
| paul__ | I was configuring some package | 19:15 |
| paul__ | I was supposed to choose OK | 19:15 |
| saykou | i got problems installing ubuntu tru wubi, it says during the installation that its not defined a root system file ... any one can help me with wubi | 19:15 |
| Marupa | Well, I'll be back if this doesn't fix my issue. Later! | 19:15 |
| csilk | paul__, you're going to need to be specific | 19:15 |
| paul__ | but i could click it nor choose it | 19:15 |
| koruptid | anyone have any idea why keyrings wouldn't show up in the encryption and keyrings app?? | 19:15 |
| ummmd | maestro444: i unlock the first drive with a passphrase, and on one of the partitions, i have a keyfile that unlocks the second. | 19:15 |
| paul__ | csilk have you ever configured the sound base so that you choose whether to use OSS or ALSA ? | 19:15 |
| paul__ | its a blue window | 19:16 |
| csilk | paul__, in the sound menu, yes | 19:16 |
| erki | Hi! I'm trying to configure dual monitors. Both monitors are active during boot, and while showing the login screen. When I log in, the secondary monitor is disabled, and I can't figure out how to get it running again. The secondary monitor shows up in "Screen resolution", but no configuration there seems to activate it. | 19:16 |
| Flannel | dimitree: If there's nothing in the new versions you have to have, 0.46 is probably just fine. 2.47 was a bugfix release, and some of those fixes have already been ported to the version in intrepid. 2.48 looks like it adds support for some game logic stuff, and Windows 64 bit. So, .46 may be just fine (and if there are additional bugs you run into, report them and they can be patched, etc) | 19:16 |
| paul__ | I had something similar up, and i closed it | 19:16 |
| compengi | saykou, you mean LVMP? | 19:16 |
| csilk | erki, ati? | 19:16 |
| erki | csilk: No, intel | 19:16 |
| rmn | another question: i have samba on an 8.04-box. I enabled the $homes-share in smb.conf (removed comments). I now have a share called "Homes". never seen that before when sharing homes. any suggestions? | 19:16 |
| r00tintheb0x | I <3 Lamp! | 19:16 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: do u have an setup instructions or any link? | 19:16 |
| Tundrayeti312 | koruptid: After googling "keyring bug ibex" it looks like there is a bug, i suggest you do the same | 19:16 |
| saykou | LVMP how so compengi | 19:16 |
| TwoD | I need opinions on what to backup on my system before a complete reinstall. /etc and /home are already done. Anything else? Thought about /var, but I only needed parts of it like /var/www. | 19:16 |
| saykou | whats LVMP compengi | 19:16 |
| csilk | erki, ok sorry, only ever done dual screen with ati | 19:16 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: this solution should work here too.. | 19:16 |
| erki | csilk: Okay, thanks anyway | 19:16 |
| mbrown | i need some help wtih diagnosing an error with lamp | 19:17 |
| koruptid | Tundrayeti312, thanks mate.... I've tried just about every google search I could think of *but* that one, lol | 19:17 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: swap can use this key file | 19:17 |
| dda | -Whats the folder for the Desktop? | 19:17 |
| chadeldridge | Why does CTRL / ALT / Backspace no longer reload the xorg and how can i make it do so? | 19:17 |
| dda | in kde4 | 19:17 |
| Flannel | TwoD: you shouldn't need anything else in /var/ except /www/ (unless you have your mailspool there, or anything else you've put there manually) | 19:17 |
| Maeva | where can I find linux-image-2.6.25-2 for AMD 64 bits ? So I can install it separately for my sound card to work and to select the menu true grub. any help ? | 19:17 |
| csilk | C | 19:17 |
| ummmd | maestro444: i'll check google | 19:17 |
| Tundrayeti312 | koruptid: lol, np | 19:17 |
| SMGGM | Hello, could someone help me with Samba file sharing? | 19:18 |
| koruptid | Tundrayeti312, thing that irks me is that they willingly released ibex with so damned many known issues | 19:18 |
| TwoD | Flannel, ok, thanks. I had subversion there for a while, but already moved it... | 19:18 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: thank you | 19:18 |
| compengi | saykou, i thought something else | 19:18 |
| mbrown | i have installed LAMP and what not but when i go to hostname/testdirectory ig et a page load error | 19:18 |
| Tundrayeti312 | koruptid: understandable, but they have a release schedule to maintain | 19:18 |
| thefool | koruptid, they have this thing called a release schedule....their are many pros and cons to it | 19:18 |
| mbrown | or event hostname/index.php or even hostname/~michael i get the same error | 19:18 |
| lawstudent | how do i wipe clean my SD card? | 19:18 |
| mbrown | i have installed everything i should need | 19:18 |
| lawstudent | on WinXP? | 19:18 |
| koruptid | thefool, I understand that..... but even microsoft pushes back releases if a product has too many problems | 19:19 |
| ay^ | lawstudent: install ubuntu :) | 19:19 |
| thefool | well what issues are you talking about? | 19:19 |
| n8tuser | Maeva-> does it shows on the list if you do apt-cache search linux--image-2.6.25-2 | 19:19 |
| m68060 | yeah, but linux policy means microsoft = bad, always. | 19:19 |
| dimitree | Flannel, well the new Sun, Sky, Atmosphere looks interesting i wonder if it works with yafray lol :) when will blender get a proper renerer haha | 19:19 |
| thefool | I know there was some regression in support for some proprietary hardware other than that I know of nothing major | 19:19 |
| ummmd | maestro444: something like this... http://www.howtoforge.com/automatically-unlock-luks-encrypted-drives-with-a-keyfile | 19:19 |
| kinnaz | m68060 microsoft policy = linux is bad not vice versa | 19:20 |
| lawstudent | ay^: that's what i hope to do... install ubuntu from sd stick | 19:20 |
| paul__ | Is it possible to bring a synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, add/remove closed window back up? Its not visible on my bar | 19:20 |
| m68060 | i'll give you a problem with the latest realese that wasn't in the old one | 19:20 |
| Flannel | koruptid, thefool, m68060: mind moving the time based released conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic? thanks | 19:20 |
| twisted` | I replaced the videocard in the ubuntu system, after I installed it... how can I let ubuntu reconfigure itself to maximize perfomance with the videocard? | 19:20 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: thanks, i'll check it | 19:20 |
| ay^ | lawstudent: couldn't you just format it? (i've never used SD-card in xp) | 19:20 |
| compengi | mbrown, did you try http://localhost/? | 19:20 |
| m68060 | before you install ATI drivers the screen is unreadable. | 19:20 |
| ummmd | maestro444: you might have to make small adjustments for lvm specifics (e.g. in fstab) | 19:20 |
| rmn | ummmd, maestro444 i'm working with the author of that to make it work with the latest intrepid kernel (assuming it's the USB keyfile boot) | 19:20 |
| ay^ | lawstudent: or just delete everything on it | 19:20 |
| koruptid | thefool, my mic works but at such a low volume as to be unusable, the keyring issue, packages not showing in synaptic but have their repository added and are installable through apt-get | 19:20 |
| bryant | has anyone had trouble running flash applications/animations on firefox or epiphany? any time i attempt to go to a site with such things it overloads my cpu and cant effectively render anything. I've tried gnash swfdec and adobe plugins but issue still persists. [Using 8.10] | 19:21 |
| mbrown | compengi: that works but nothing else wrks | 19:21 |
| koruptid | Flannel, with respect... it was leading to being very on-topic, but I appreciate your efforts to maintain order | 19:21 |
| rmn | ummmd, i didn't do anything in fstab. crypttab only to load the script. | 19:21 |
| thefool | Well we have already brought it back on topic with me asking for specific problems of this release that things "should" have been delayed for | 19:21 |
| compengi | mbrown, i see.. | 19:21 |
| ZuckusFIll | hey guys when I run sudo apt-get update, I get this error message at the end "W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-proposed Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com> | 19:21 |
| ZuckusFIll | W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems | 19:21 |
| bryant | i have a problem with this release :) | 19:21 |
| remoto | \join #campos | 19:22 |
| m68060 | fool, the graphics support for ati out of the box is worse | 19:22 |
| RediXe | Has anyone delt with a touch sceen with (x)ubuntu? Does the default xorg.conf need to be changed? It seems to work some what but needs to be calibrated a little to be more accurate. Any ideas? | 19:22 |
| compengi | mbrown, what's written in your /etc/hosts | 19:22 |
| sirMajid | is anybody familiar with kdevelop? | 19:22 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: ah cool.. one thing. all these guides mention encrypted lvm .. does it works on eeepc where i have two physical devices.. and i need two logical volumes / and swap | 19:22 |
| lawstudent | what file system should i use on the SD card (to make it work on a linux comp, too): FAT? or FAT32? | 19:22 |
| thefool | koruptid, ok the mic things sounds like an alsa problem. That last thing you said... worries me quite a bit. But I hope they will fix it in the next few days. | 19:22 |
| ummmd | rmn: i'm just saying you need to have appropriate fstab entries to mount things correctly / set up swap | 19:22 |
| NicEXE | I used the following command to backup my drive to an iso "dd if=/dev/<hard drive> of=/path/to/backup.iso" how can I restore this backup from the iso file I made? | 19:22 |
| Flannel | ZuckusFIll: you shouldn't be using -proposed repos anyway. | 19:22 |
| m68060 | 8.04 would let me use the computer just fine without propiatery drivers, but 8.10 was 640*480 | 19:22 |
| ay^ | lawstudent: FAT/32 works fine | 19:22 |
| lawstudent | ay^: fat32, is it? | 19:23 |
| ZuckusFIll | oh really? so should I jsut disable them in sources manager? | 19:23 |
| geertjan | HI, I just tried to upgrade to Intrepid, but due to a network (?) problem I had to retry it. The second time the update installer removed most packages. Now I am left with a commanline.. | 19:23 |
| Maeva | n8tuser: apt-cache search linux--image-2.6.25-2 nothing happened so it worked I think in my console | 19:23 |
| Flannel | ZuckusFIll: yeah | 19:23 |
| ay^ | lawstudent: both :) | 19:23 |
| geertjan | Can anybody tell me how to fix this? | 19:23 |
| ZuckusFIll | ok thanks | 19:23 |
| sirMajid | no kdevelop expert? | 19:23 |
| mbrown | localhost 127.0.0.1and 127.0.0. ubuntu/localdomain ubuntu | 19:23 |
| ummmd | maestro444: so your eeepc has two hard drives? | 19:23 |
| koruptid | thefool, the mic thing does seem to be alsa.... but I managed to get that far myself and then from there I've hit a bit brick wall. It sounds like it is fixed in the .18 alsa build but I haven't been able to find a launchpad repo to install the new version | 19:23 |

| erisco | does anyone know a tutorial for install ubuntu *from* a usb drive that works? | 19:24 |
| Flannel | Elfranne: its sshd, and it starts automatically when you install it. | 19:24 |
| m68060 | kevin, want some help? | 19:24 |
| maestro444 | rmn: yes .. should i have to first encrypt or first make an lvm out of them | 19:24 |
| rmn | maestro444, actually, no. i'm redoing it now, and writing my own notes, as i only have very poor notes from the first time. but basically it is not much different from the first install, and repeat it | 19:24 |
| bryant | be->there's codecs you can get for those in the package manager you can install | 19:24 |

| kevin3 | ok, i think i installed ndiswrapper common utils and graphical frontend | 19:25 |

| Lr5 | Distribution upgrade to 8.10 seems to have gone wrong, it's stuck at 37 minutes remaining and the terminal gives a lot of text, saying something like "file system loop detected"; What should I do? | 19:25 |
| rmn | maestro444, what i did was to encrypt each device. then build the LVM on top of the encrypted part. for the eee that would be 1 unencrypted partition (/boot) then 1 encrypted partition + 1 encrypted drive. the two encrypted parts would build the lvm | 19:25 |
| maestro444 | rmn: when i first make an lvm .. later i have two logical volumes with cryptsetup .. (state at the moment) | 19:25 |
| compengi | mbrown, are you behind a router? | 19:26 |
| velko | NicEXE, do you want to restore to the same hard disk you copied verbatim? | 19:26 |
| m68060 | what's the prob kevin, and yes, it probably involves using sudo | 19:26 |
| ummmd | maestro444: so when you say you need two "logical volumes", are you speaking about lvm "logical volumes"? | 19:26 |
| koruptid | thefool, I'm sure there's a launchpad repository for alsa... I just haven't been able to turn it up yet | 19:26 |

| Kevin` | kevin3: finally? you didn't ask a question before saying 'never use linux again'.. | 19:26 |
| maestro444 | rmn: so then i have to input the passphrase twice or not? | 19:26 |

| kevin3 | its linksys with speedboost | 19:27 |
| systest | Gah, no XEN kernel in 8.10? | 19:27 |
| bryant | simple animations it renders, but complex ones that i know what are supposed to look like, it nearly crashes my computer. | 19:27 |
| fonzarelli | thiebaude, seems that way for me too | 19:27 |
| Lequtix | i have good sucess with 8.10 but i have a few issues with power management and special keys not working | 19:27 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: usb or pci | 19:27 |
| thiebaude | 200mb out of 500 just running pidgin | 19:27 |
| Lequtix | anyone know how to fix it? | 19:27 |
| rmn | maestro444, correct. however the script does that for you. initially i got the passfile from the usb twice, but one could have an encrypted volume that contains the keyfiles that then unlocks the other parts of the system | 19:27 |
| maestro444 | rmn: as i said.. i have an lvm with two logical volumes and these volumes / and swap are encrypted | 19:27 |
| MTecknology | Lr5: did it get to the point of installing software? | 19:27 |
| kevin3 | pci | 19:27 |
| thiebaude | hmm | 19:27 |
| Lr5 | MTecknology: it's at "Installing the upgrades" | 19:27 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: paste the appropriate line from lspci -nn | 19:27 |
| rmn | maestro444, the latter approach saves some boot time, as the script does a usb-sleep (5sec) once for each crypto-volume (doesn't remember that it was already called) | 19:28 |
| thefool | Kevin`, I don't think he is going to know what the appropriate line is | 19:28 |
| Lequtix | it suspends properly when on battery power when i close the lid... but if it's plugged in on ac power it will not suspend | 19:28 |
| maestro444 | rmn: crypt on lvm or lvm on crypt.. in both ways i have to input my passphrases twice or .. i can use keyfile | 19:28 |
| rmn | maestro444, why do you have two logical volumes? | 19:28 |
| mbrown | compengi: i am using it in vmware. on my host machine i go to hostname and it works | 19:28 |
| Lr5 | MTecknology: says "About 37 minutes remaining", the bar being at about one seventh way done | 19:28 |
| mbrown | never had to do anything else before such as yeterday | 19:28 |
| ummmd | maestro444: is one physical device entirely for / and the other entirely for swap? | 19:28 |
| Flannel | rmn: Why is that unusual? | 19:28 |
| rmn | maestro444, no, in crypt on lvm it would be only once | 19:28 |
| rmn | Flannel, why is what unusual? | 19:28 |
| MTecknology | Lr5: Do you have any CD's or ISO's mounted or installed? | 19:28 |
| Kevin` | thefool: usually says "wireless" or similar | 19:28 |
| kevin3 | um where do I paste it? im using the frontend to point it to the inf | 19:28 |
| Lr5 | MTecknology: nope | 19:28 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: yes | 19:29 |
| kevin3 | and what toi i enter to find that | 19:29 |
| n8tuser | Maeva-> so may it does not exist | 19:29 |
| maestro444 | rmn: can you explain me why only once? didnt get it.. | 19:29 |
| Flannel | rmn: Having more than one logical volume? | 19:29 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: if you know the right line, right here, it's only one line. otherwise, pastebin | 19:29 |

| thefool | kevin3 just type lspci -nn | grep Ethernet and paste the result | 19:30 |
| rmn | Flannel, i didn't say that it was. but in the context it appeared as though maestro444 mixed lv and pe, as the eee has two drives | 19:30 |
| sirMajid | hi I really need help with kdevelop | 19:30 |
| ummmd | maestro444: this sounds very similar to my setup... i'm unclear about the exact problem you're encountering. | 19:30 |
| TwoD | bryn | 19:30 |
| Kevin` | thefool: it will probably be "network" not ethernet | 19:30 |
| compengi | mbrown, try adding your <internal ip> <host name> in your /etc/hosts after 127.0.1.1 | 19:30 |
| sirMajid | noone is familiar with kdevelop here? | 19:30 |
| kevin3 | i decided to try this like a couple days ago with no prior linux or programming experience as you can prob tell | 19:30 |
| thefool | Kevin`, darn, you may be right, mine were all Ethernet | 19:30 |
| rmn | maestro444, because the lvm would join the two drives (pe's) to one drive, on top of which you build your *one* crypto-volume, hence only one passphrase | 19:30 |
| emorris | sirMajid: ask your question | 19:30 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: do lspci -nn and paste it here: http://rafb.net/paste/ | 19:31 |
| thefool | maybe 802.11 would be a good thing to grep for | 19:31 |

| Flannel | Oceani1: Only if XP can edit ext3, | 19:31 |

| maestro444 | rmn: ah ok.. i understand.. so you can build partitions under crypto-part.. didnt knew that | 19:32 |

| bryant | twod i wasn't aware i could, i'll try that though. | 19:32 |

| sirMajid | emorris, and I don't know how to use the reference in the kdevelop | 19:34 |
| maestro444 | ummmd: as i said .. the problem was that i have to input passphrases twice.. but rmn is showing me that my setup was not the best | 19:34 |
| sirMajid | emorris, have u used the reference in the kdevelop environment? | 19:34 |
| kevin3 | well maybe ill go paste it in to that nopaste | 19:34 |
| kevin3 | what is that | 19:34 |

| rmn | maestro444, with lvm on crypt it is easier (at least more elegant) to extend it with additional drives. | 19:34 |
| emorris | sirMajid: nope, that's why I said ask the channel | 19:34 |
| rmn | maestro444, i wouldn't extend the lvm with the sd card. instead i would have a separate crypto+filesystem on it (e.g. truecrypt) | 19:35 |
| sirMajid | emorris, ok have u used the kdevelop? cause I have another question about that? | 19:35 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: http://rafb.net/p/qpfTna86.html - it does this kinda thing | 19:35 |

| maestro444 | rmn: at the moment i am using kubuntu.. | 19:39 |
| rmn | maestro444, ok, then it shouldn't be a problem | 19:39 |
| kevin3 | but it isint working out considering i cant even do some really really really basic processes without progreamming | 19:39 |
| Guest27765 | i have this problem. i can't hear anything from the internet... | 19:39 |
| silvestre | hi every one | 19:39 |
| silvestre | need some help | 19:39 |
| bryant | ah, i have no NTFS disks. i completely wiped windows. everything is ext3 | 19:39 |
| ChurleyEater | Anyone have any experience installing an Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Card on Ubuntu 8.10? I've tried several step-by-step isntructions, and nothing has worked. Probably because I'm more noob than noob. | 19:39 |
| Armada | amews_aj, which card are you using? | 19:39 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: your not doing any programming. | 19:39 |
| Guest27765 | can anyone help me with that? | 19:39 |
| kevin3 | if i paste that crap in will someone be able to tell me how to fix this | 19:39 |
| amews_aj | Armada: Nvidia Geforce Go440 | 19:39 |
| maestro444 | rmn: so i can make partitions with crypto with installer? | 19:39 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: getting a device list isn't programming :/ | 19:39 |
| rmn | maestro444, i'm having dinner now, but i would very much like to discuss your setup in further detail in just shy of an hour, if that is possible? | 19:39 |
| sirMajid | compengi, I mean how can I join for example to c++ language room? | 19:39 |
| compengi | silvestre, maybe you'd ask your question? | 19:39 |
| z0d14k | amews_aj: apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 | 19:40 |
| rmn | maestro444, yes you can. but messing with the lvm-bit is a royal pain. possible, but a pain | 19:40 |
| amews_aj | z0d14k: kk | 19:40 |
| Esaj | wow, busy today | 19:40 |
| compengi | sirMajid, ##C++ | 19:40 |
| Yimpolo | 0 | 19:40 |
| Armada | amews_aj, that should show up if not you can install them manually | 19:40 |
| sonichammer | Hey | 19:40 |
| Guest27765 | hiiii | 19:40 |
| kebomix | Armada: how to install ubuntu from usb flash memory instead of cd ? | 19:40 |
| maestro444 | rmn: yes it is possible.. will stay in channel | 19:40 |
| wolfwalker_omega | !riva | 19:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about riva | 19:40 |
| TheGourdCap | How would one install the restricted driver for a Geforce 4MX? | 19:40 |
| wolfwalker_omega | !envy | 19:40 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 19:40 |
| amews_aj | Armada: And how manually ? aptget nvidia-glx-177 ?? | 19:40 |
| kevin3 | ok well maybe you can automate this process for me | 19:40 |
| maestro444 | rmn: ok .. then i should do it manually | 19:40 |
| kevin3 | my internet is right here | 19:40 |
| kevin3 | i want it over there | 19:40 |
| wolfwalker_omega | Feh | 19:40 |
| Guest27765 | helloooooooooo | 19:40 |
| kevin3 | i have passwords | 19:40 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: automate the process of determining what network card you actually have? :) | 19:40 |
| z0d14k | amews_aj: That might be too new a an nvidia driver for your card. Do apt-cache search nvidia-glx and apt-cache show nvidia-glx-### for info about the options. | 19:40 |
| rkvirani | \q | 19:40 |
| sirMajid | comengi, tnx man | 19:40 |
| Skyper | Hello guys...well, when i was installing i put my winxp partition to be mount on /winxp but for sure its not been mounted..so anyone know how can i resolve this? | 19:41 |
| kevin3 | i use linksys with speed boost i can get the model number | 19:41 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: linksys changes chipsets within models | 19:41 |
| _Carrie_ | Hello, I can no longer go into Gnome unless it's fail safe. Theres an issue with my VGA and I don't know what? My VGA card is an nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] (rev a2) can someone help? | 19:41 |
| bryant | is there a shortcut available to bring up the "force quit" application available via the gnome panels? you know, in the case that an application misbehaves and you're unable to access the damn button to click it :) | 19:41 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: it's more useful to get the listing from the system | 19:41 |
| kevin3 | i have three ndis related apps installed | 19:41 |
| koruptid | thefool, well... I did a lot more digging and it seems that 1.0.18 of alsa should have the fix implemented... but I can't find anywhere where there's a package | 19:41 |
| lucax | is there any nautilus plugin to search from nautilus panel? | 19:41 |
| TwoD | bryant, ok, then it's probably something else. Most likely hardware related as it gets to a kernel panic, I'm no expert on kernel panics, but I think it's possible to get a crash dump when it occurss, then someone could perhaps trace it back to the driver/program crashing. | 19:41 |
| kevin3 | ok tell me the command to get the code | 19:41 |
| Guest27765 | :( | 19:41 |
| bryant | or just a keycombo to end the current process of the window you're in | 19:41 |
| compengi | silvestre, it would be better to ask your question in the channel :) | 19:41 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: lspci -nn | 19:41 |
| kevin3 | how do i coppy that output to a dile | 19:41 |
| kevin3 | copy | 19:41 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: lspci -nn >file.txt | 19:41 |
| kevin3 | file | 19:41 |
| kevin3 | thank you | 19:41 |
| amews_aj | z0d14k: How can I see what I need for my card? | 19:41 |
| W_S | Skyper: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /winxp | 19:41 |
| kevin3 | where wil it go | 19:41 |
| compengi | silvestre, what problem do you have exactly | 19:42 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: home directory most likely | 19:42 |
| bryant | twod, ah, thanks. i need to make a launchpad account for this stuff. | 19:42 |
| shipitkthx | anyone know why 8.10 would freeze at the orange screen after login? (just upgraded from 8.04) | 19:42 |
| z0d14k | Skyper: have you tried `sudo mount /winxp` ? | 19:42 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: it will go where you currently are | 19:42 |
| TwoD | bryant, don't think so. But I have added an icon to force-crashing a program to one of my panels. It's there if you right click and "add to panel". | 19:42 |
| z0d14k | amews_aj: apt-cache show nvidia-glx-177 shows which cards are supported by that driver. | 19:42 |
| bryant | does this support channel happen to have subchannels for specific issues? it would make things alot less hectic | 19:42 |
| Yimpolo | This is a really stupid question, but how do I make my changes with ifconfig and route persistent? Every time I reboot, I lose my settings | 19:42 |
| amews_aj | z0d14k: Can't I see from synaptic ? | 19:42 |
| compengi | kebomix, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html | 19:43 |
| z0d14k | amews_aj: Yes. It should be in the package summary. | 19:43 |
| bryant | twod, yes i have it as well. but sometimes i'm unable to alt-tab out of a program to force quit it, and i have to resort to less hardware-friendly measures | 19:43 |
| silvestre | here's the problem with update manager: | 19:43 |
| silvestre | E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic_2.6.24-21.43_i386.deb: failed to unlink `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic/include/config/auto.conf.cmd.dpkg-new' | 19:43 |
| TwoD | bryant, you could also use ctrl+alt+f1 to get to the terminal, if the window manager froze and you can't start xterm, and then try "killall appname" | 19:43 |
| kevin3 | be right bacvk | 19:43 |
| kebomix | compengi: thanks very much | 19:44 |
| ChrisBoo1wood | Does any body know of a light version of the Dust theme? I know there's one in the dust offical wiki page, but that has not been worked on for ages. I'm looking for something on that kind of light grey version of Dust, though | 19:44 |
| Yimpolo | This is a really stupid question, but how do I make my changes with ifconfig and route persistent? Every time I reboot, I lose my settings | 19:44 |
| Skyper | z0d14k: works but this way will mount automatically everytime? | 19:44 |
| amews_aj | z0d14k: Can't I search in the summary ? | 19:44 |
| amews_aj | z0d14k: Difficult to seperate all the card numbers | 19:44 |
| E-XtraCt | How can I change the beep from the PC's speaker to the headphones ? | 19:44 |
| Kevin` | Yimpolo: /etc/network/interfaces or networkmanager config | 19:44 |
| rkvirani | Is it better for security to compile services like apache and ldap from scratch or use binary packages? | 19:44 |
| z0d14k | amews_aj: Not sure. I haven't used synaptics in years..... I just use apt from CLI.... Maybe somebody else here knows more about synaptic and how it works/what it does. | 19:44 |
| compengi | kebomix, my pleasure | 19:44 |
| titusg | is it possible to disable the scrolling on the touchpad of a laptop? I would much rather do without it. | 19:45 |
| silvestre | can anybody help me | 19:45 |
| Kevin` | rkvirani: packages, since you get security updates 'automatically' | 19:45 |
| kevin3 | bash:blabvlablalspcinn command not found | 19:45 |
| rkvirani | Kevin`: sounds good | 19:45 |
| rkvirani | thanks | 19:45 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: Description is summary, yes. | 19:45 |
| shipitkthx | my system is currently unusable after upgrading to 8.10, is there anyone that can help troubleshoot? | 19:45 |
| Acedip | hey everyone, i want to install multiple distros on my machine, running hardy currently, but would like to try debian and mandriva etc.i tried earlier but couldnt succeed.. | 19:45 |
| csilk | !ask | silvestre | 19:45 |
| ubottu | silvestre: 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. :-) | 19:45 |
| titusg | I can disable the touchpad altogether but not just the scrolling | 19:45 |
| tleylaxu | no desktop effects under intrepid? | 19:45 |
| WelshDragon | Since upgrading, booting up hangs for about 4 minutes at Configuring Network Devices... Chipset is Intel 3945ABG. Any idea how to fix? | 19:45 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: whereis lspci | 19:45 |
| silvestre | E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic_2.6.24-21.43_i386.deb: failed to unlink `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic/include/config/auto.conf.cmd.dpkg-new' | 19:45 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: then give the full path, like /sbin/lspci -nn | 19:45 |
| velko | silvestre, have you tried to delete (unlink) the file manually? | 19:46 |
| z0d14k | Skyper: If that worked, it should be in /etc/fstab. If you edit /etc/fstab make sure that there isn't an option that says noauto for your XP partition. Other than that it should "Just work(tm)" | 19:46 |
| kevin3 | where would i look for that | 19:46 |
| E-XtraCt | How can I change the beep from the PC's speaker to the headphones ? | 19:46 |
| silvestre | no | 19:46 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: whereis lspci | 19:46 |
| kevin3 | oh | 19:46 |
| sirMajid | compengi, do u know a good room for java? | 19:46 |

| silvestre | velko, how do i delete it | 19:46 |
| amews_aj | thx | 19:47 |

| EarthWorm44 | OMG Ubuntu 8.10 is outstanding! | 19:47 |
| asdfman1 | anyone else have a hard time installing proprietary drivers for nvidia on latest ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| tleylaxu | ubuntu devs,bring back Xmms | 19:47 |
| velko | silvestre, sudo rm /path/to/the/file | 19:47 |
| amews_aj | EarthWorm44: what is so much better than hardy ? | 19:47 |
| TwoD | shipitkthx, how far does it get when booting? | 19:47 |
| EarthWorm44 | I love the DarkRoom Theme xD lol | 19:47 |
| shipitkthx | TwoD i get to the login screen, I login, it goes to orange, i can move the cursor around, nothing else | 19:47 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: there's another way we could do this, just do lspci -nn, and tell me if you see any of broadcom, atheros, ralink, etc, or '802.11' | 19:48 |
| mohbana | why aren't my terminal fonts being hinted? | 19:48 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: all that's important is a simple model number of the chipset | 19:48 |
| sirMajid | does anybody know a good room for java programming? | 19:48 |
| michalski-bj | hello, I'm having a bit of a problem with my wireless connection, the system seems to be detecting the adapter, but it doesnt seem to want to use it..... | 19:48 |
| Flannel | sirMajid: ##java | 19:48 |
| asdfman1 | my system just hangs when attempting to install nvidia proprietary video drivers... doesn't seem to want to download | 19:48 |
| TwoD | shipitkthx, was it like that just after the upgrade? | 19:48 |
| shipitkthx | yes | 19:48 |
| tleylaxu | is no desktop effect under intrepid? | 19:48 |
| Acedip | i want to install multiple distros on my machine, running hardy currently, but would like to try debian and mandriva etc.i tried earlier but couldnt succeed..can anyone help me do it | 19:48 |
| TwoD | shipitkthx, tried the safe mode? | 19:48 |
| Goosemoose | anyone know how to make a clickable icon that executes a script (i'm making an icon that runs a java program) | 19:48 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: actually look at the output for something that looks like a wireless card | 19:49 |
| asdfman1 | anyone else struggling with installation of nvidia drivers? | 19:49 |
| tleylaxu | yes | 19:49 |
| sirMajid | Flannel, tnx:) | 19:49 |
| shipitkthx | TwoD, yes | 19:49 |
| amews_aj | wow, package server is quite slow here | 19:49 |
| Koordin | hi, does someone have an idea about a good ocr ? | 19:49 |
| z0d14k | asdfman1: What problems are you having? apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 worked great for me. | 19:49 |
| amews_aj | asdfman1: I am | 19:49 |
| asdfman1 | i'll try that | 19:49 |
| TwoD | shipitkthx, what's in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 19:49 |
| marrow | Hi | 19:49 |

| amews_aj | asdfman1: But I think it works after installing nvidia-glx-96 (the one for my card) | 19:49 |
| marrow | Maybe you guys could help me | 19:49 |
| domino14 | i cant get starcraft properly working on wine; it doesnt connect to battle.net | 19:49 |
| z0d14k | asdfman1: Make sure that is the right version of the driver for your card. Do apt-cache show nvidia-glx-177 to make sure you have the right version. | 19:50 |
| kevin3 | theres a space before nn | 19:50 |
| domino14 | pubes | 19:50 |

| velko | NicEXE, strange. which command gives you this error? | 19:51 |
| TwoD | NicEXE, you need to create the folder where it should be mounted. | 19:51 |

| willowdale | can anyone recommend the best email client for ubuntu | 19:52 |
| amews_aj | replaced hardy with intrepid | 19:52 |
| mohbana | it's impossible to get help on this channel. it's way too full | 19:52 |
| sirMajid | isn't there any room for C# programming? | 19:52 |
| michalski-bj | willowdale: evolution | 19:52 |
| amews_aj | sirMajid: ##csharp | 19:52 |
| thomc | Acedip: Ok, thanks. So it'll run at the next scheduled time, but not straight after you boot or something? | 19:52 |

| Kevin` | kevin3: ok, do the same for lsmod | 19:52 |
| willowdale | thank you ichalski | 19:52 |
| silvestre | thx velko | 19:52 |
| compengi | sirMajid, join #freenode and they would help you out with your questions | 19:52 |
| amews_aj | sirMajid: This is probably not a good channel for C# development, microsoft thing | 19:52 |
| kevin3 | should i whereis or will | 19:52 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: For intrepid, KDE4 is in the regular repositories. | 19:53 |
| michalski-bj | domino14: the diff command might be able to help | 19:53 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: that card should be supported using an included driver (no need for ndiswrapper), so I want to see what the state is | 19:53 |
| amews_aj | Flannel: oh | 19:53 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, and you'll have it. | 19:53 |
| mohbana | it's impossible to get help on this channel. it's way too full | 19:53 |
| mohbana | why aren't my terminal fonts being hinted? | 19:53 |
| kevin3 | whereis lsmod | 19:53 |
| amews_aj | Flannel: And that would be 4.1 and not 4.0 ? | 19:53 |
| Flannel | !repeat | mohbana | 19:53 |
| ubottu | mohbana: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 19:53 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: if it doesn't work the first time, sure | 19:53 |
| kevin3 | and did i mess things up using wrapper | 19:53 |
| bryant | twod, same thing happened as earlier sigh. i guess i'll just try not to run too many read/write processes at the same time | 19:53 |
| velko | kevin3, /sbin | 19:53 |
| amews_aj | Flannel: on hardy I did kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 19:53 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: Yes. You can ask more specific questions in #kubuntu, but I do know its 4.1 | 19:53 |
| silici0 | quit | 19:54 |
| TwoD | shipitkthx, ok. I'd really need to be at the computer to be able to see what could be wrong, sorry... | 19:54 |
| Mixed_--_ | anyone familiar with wireless security? I am researching on the wireless security, like WEP | 19:54 |
| Flannel | amews_aj: right, because Hardy had both 3 and 4, Intrepid only has 4 | 19:54 |
| aaron_ | trying to configure sendmail.....I can't send email out to internet...can someone help? | 19:54 |

| ubottu | Mixed_--_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 19:54 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: no | 19:54 |
| Acedip | thomc, ya. It will run on the time it is scheduled to run, if the machine is off then it will do the job when the machine is on, at the scheduled job time | 19:54 |
| kevin3 | lsmod>bla.txt | 19:54 |
| kevin3 | any spaces | 19:54 |
| Aidan1 | i have a question and im rather stuck | 19:54 |
| velko | aaron_, do you really need sendmail? why not try something easier like postfix? | 19:54 |
| thomc | Acedip: Ok, thanks. | 19:54 |

| Kevin` | kevin3: ok, the normal driver isn't loaded. do ndiswrapper -l and iwconfig | 19:57 |
| magnetron | Mixed_--_→ use WPA | 19:58 |
| TwoD | bryant, ok. Have you run a disk check on them? | 19:58 |
| amews_aj | Flannel: My card was mentioned in the description | 19:58 |

| Flannel | Suhail: apt-cache policy apache2 | 20:16 |
| amews_aj | calc: it is final ? | 20:16 |
| ay^ | Lr5: I'm sorry to say, but I have no real idea, but it does seem that the system thinks that /var/ is somehow looped with itself | 20:16 |

| ubottu | ljuwaidah: 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) | 20:17 |

| Kevin` | XThief: yes | 20:17 |
| Lr5 | stuff* | 20:17 |
| gyven | Mixed_--_ wherever you want it, it is a "virtual" connection and doesn't actually store anything off of the device you mount. It merely "mounts" it, creates a conduit for which data can be accessed | 20:17 |
| kane77 | calc, I might install jaunty into virtualbox to see the progress :) | 20:17 |
| emt | New 8.10 sucks :IO | 20:17 |
| calc | kane77: yep i am going to work with the backports people to get it for intrepid (maybe hardy too) | 20:17 |
| ay^ | Lr5: glhfDD! :) | 20:17 |
| XThief | Kevin ay^ how?? | 20:18 |
| z0d14k | XThief: gnome-keyring should store your passowrd (if you tell it to), then login automatically for you later. | 20:18 |
| olifre | A question according compiling with CC1 in Intrepid: It seems to regard warnings as errors, most things can not be compiled anymore! | 20:18 |

| Joe_Knight | does anyone know if airlink wireless card works on it? | 20:18 |
| olifre | Is there a switch on commandline or sth? | 20:18 |
| bimberi | calc: yes please (hardy backport) :) | 20:18 |
| koruptid | well, I figured out one problem.... auto-login makes default keyring access to network-applet sad | 20:18 |
| Kevin` | XThief: I do it via /etc/network/interfaces instead of networkmanager may not be your preferred method | 20:18 |
| gyven | Aidan1 sorry, didnt see your response, lost in the flood -- do you have this lag with http downloads of files? | 20:18 |
| calc | kane77: i think i will run it in a vm as well to make sure i don't break OOo 3.0 too much | 20:18 |
| ay^ | XThief: but if all else fails you could try installing wicd instaed of network-manager | 20:18 |
| emt | How I can get rid of those gnome-keyring errors? | 20:18 |
| amews_aj | calc: It really is unstable ? | 20:18 |

| kris_ | I think it's really retarded for ubuntu to just drop support for native dom0 -- that really screwed me over ... now I have to learn a hacky kvm system that isn't even working, takes forever to generate a vm ... and from what I can tell, doesn't easily support lvm | 20:24 |
| silici0 | cdpuk: thanks so much | 20:24 |
| Adyeths | so nobody knows the answer to my question? | 20:24 |
| mordof | k so i've never compiled any code before.. i'm on ubuntu server, anyone able to help me here? i've been given a code that i need to set up svn to update my working copy of a website. C code i think. | 20:24 |
| Kevin` | kris_: how did they drop support for it? | 20:24 |
| kevin3 | i think i need to be root how do i login | 20:24 |
| kevin3 | permission denied | 20:24 |
| ljuwaidah | humm... what do i do if i want to specify a mount point that has a space in it in fstab? | 20:24 |
| kris_ | Kevin`: native dom0 kernel | 20:24 |
| amews_aj | shouldn't sudo service gdm stop from pty1 stop the xserver ? | 20:24 |
| dalem50 | What's the command on APT to install all of the package dependencies? | 20:24 |
| cdpuk | silici0: No problem | 20:24 |
| ompaul | !root | kevin3 | 20:24 |
| ubottu | kevin3: 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 | 20:24 |
| * Adyeths knew he should have waited longer before upgrading. *sigh* | 20:24 | |
| XThief | Kevin` eth0 isnt my wireless | 20:24 |
| Kevin` | kris_: I use my own kernel anyway, heh | 20:24 |
| amews_aj | When installing a driver it claims that it isn't stopped | 20:24 |
| Kevin` | XThief: it's an example | 20:24 |
| kevin3 | i have the pass | 20:25 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: do sudo -i first | 20:25 |
| piksi- | kevin3: you can always set the root password after sudo -s | 20:25 |
| kris_ | Kevin`: yeah I was going to do that, but now i have to hunt down the freakin packages for the "dev kernel" because the previously named package doesn't exist | 20:25 |
| ljuwaidah | i tried using quotation marks but that didn't work | 20:25 |
| dalem50 | How do you install all the dependencies in a .deb package? | 20:25 |
| ljuwaidah | not even \ worked | 20:25 |
| XThief | Kevin` but where do you put the password? | 20:25 |
| Joe_Knight | i remember ubuntu having issues with media has that improved? | 20:25 |
| Kevin` | XThief: in wpa_supplicant.conf | 20:25 |
| AdemoS | Ubuntu 8.10; PulseAudio 9.10; ALSA 1.0.17; 4.1 Speaker Setup --- When using mplayer or gstreamer, I can only get sound out of my front speakers; no sound comes out of the back. However, with mplayer, when I switch to OSS instead of Alsa or Pulse, it uses all the speakers. ==== Is there anyway to fix Pulseaudio to use all my speakers? | 20:25 |
| Tundrayeti312 | AdemoS: There is a pulseaudio config file you have to change | 20:26 |
| calc | AdemoS: there is a pulse audio configuration tool that isn't installed by default, so maybe with that | 20:26 |
| kris_ | Kevin`: did you use a package to get a dev kernel? | 20:26 |
| Kevin` | kris_: http://xen.org/download/ - IMO use that until .28 or whatever comes out with official dom0 support, or unless you need specific drivers | 20:26 |
| AdemoS | Tundrayeti312 or calc, can you give me the package name? | 20:26 |
| amews_aj | shouldn't sudo service gdm stop from pty1 stop the xserver ? | 20:26 |

| djolefol | Do somebody know why there was a bad MD5SUMS.gpg signature at http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ earlier this day? I was amazed, when I saw different signatures in different mirrors. | 20:43 |
| kevin3 | do i put it where it says or just type your command | 20:43 |
| erisco | matreya6, so how does this help me? | 20:43 |
| Kevin` | kevin3: type the command | 20:43 |

| matreya6 | erisco, it is odd that both entries referring to that controller are registered as IDE interfaces. Did you configure it that way in your BIOS? | 20:44 |
| erisco | matreya6, I have tried numerous ways to install without a CD, but in all cases either the installer says the ubuntu cd is no good, or the installer does not give me any storage devices to partition | 20:44 |
| lena | почему | 20:44 |
| koruptid | Megaqwerty, well, that just saved me a lot of pain of opening tons of terminal windows | 20:44 |

| shad0w0fsin | Am I the only one having a slower boot time in ibex than in hardy? | 20:45 |
| erisco | matreya6, in the case where I am using a usb stick as my bootable device it asks me to partition my usb stick... but that it not what I want at all | 20:45 |
| Megaqwerty | koruptid: glad I could help :) | 20:45 |
| jrib | runpain2: why did you call !ops? | 20:45 |
| erisco | matreya6, I have not changed any configuration like that in the BIOS | 20:45 |

| koruptid | Megaqwerty, next question... do you know where in gconf I can find the setting to set a custom time format for the clock? | 20:45 |
| _Carrie_ | lena, Вы находитесь не в том зале, я просил бот чтобы дать вам правильный номер. | 20:45 |
| matreya6 | erisco, Maybe the deafult setting in your BIOS are wrong for your setup. | 20:45 |
| jrib | runpain2: don't abuse !ops please. No, Jack_Sparrow is a different person | 20:45 |
| erisco | matreya6, the method I am trying now, I got the boot files from the ubuntu archive site and put them into my boot directory and created a new grub entry | 20:46 |
| matreya6 | erisco, deaufult => default. | 20:46 |
| runpain2 | sorry i thought jack was here excuse me please | 20:46 |
| Maeva | do I need to add the line options snd-hda-intel model=auto in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, in order to make it work ? | 20:46 |
| Megaqwerty | koruptid: can't say I do. sorry | 20:46 |
| spidora | is there a command in terminal to run gparted on a specific location? | 20:46 |
| erisco | matreya6, the installer picks up my iso in the root of my hard drive partition and loads it... however as I said, it doesn't let me partition anything | 20:46 |
| madrazr | Hi all, I heard that its possible to lock individual directories in Intrepid, how can I do it? can anyone link me if there are any tutorials? | 20:46 |
| Megaqwerty | koruptid: but you can use gconf-editor to browse around for it | 20:46 |
| kevin3 | i just pretended to put it on my flash drive by putting commands and a file in a folder on my desktop | 20:46 |
| erisco | matreya6, perhaps because the hard drive is being mounted? *shrug* | 20:46 |
| kevin3 | then i took it with me | 20:47 |
| magnetron | madrazr→ are you referring to the encrypted private folder? | 20:47 |
| go_beep_yourself | whats new in ubuntu 8.10. whats different about it? | 20:47 |

| ubottu | go_beep_yourself: ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore | 20:47 |
| spidora | is there a command in terminal to run gparted on a specific location? | 20:48 |
| madrazr | magnetron: I think yes, I don't want a particular directory to be readable by anyone for example | 20:48 |
| jrib | spidora: gparted [device] according to its man page | 20:48 |
| n8tuser | gangsterlicious-> you installed it? i suspect they're pretty much very similar.. | 20:48 |
| RealNitro | can sb tell me which mirrors in europe are up AND in a correct state? | 20:48 |
| madrazr | magnetron: I was just testing whats new, nothing important. If thats possible please tell me | 20:48 |
| abchirk | where are the modules like vesa for XorgServer? | 20:48 |
| RealNitro | upgrading in belgium is a nightmare atm... | 20:48 |
| Megaqwerty | go_beep_yourself: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/810rc is a feature list | 20:49 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | What do you folks think of the new Ubuntu? Do you recommend updating to it if I am running Hardy right now? I am sure some of you might think this is a stupid and obvious question. To those of you that do not, I am just wondering what you think about the new version, and the process of updating to it, especially right now. | 20:49 |
| ircmonkey | bring back xmms | 20:49 |
| n8tuser | gangsterlicious-> debootstrap only installs the basic kernel stuff, so i figured the differences are in the packages like desktop and such | 20:49 |
| matreya6 | erisco, this is strange indeed. You could try with another kernel. My box doesn't like kernel 2.6.21 for some reason. | 20:49 |
| Moman | I'm New and I need to know how to take ownership of smb.conf so I can create shared folders on my lan. The message says I don't own the file. root owns the file I am the admin, but don't know how to become root. | 20:49 |
| gangsterlicious | n8tuser: yea, Xen boots that guest fine. didn't have aptitude and stuff. dist-upgrade went fine | 20:49 |
| n8tuser | loquitus_of_bor1-> too late now eh? | 20:49 |
| erisco | matreya6, I will try something and be back in a bit. thanks for you help | 20:49 |
| * amews_aj finally managed to get nvidia working on intrepid | 20:50 | |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | n8tuser: too late for what? | 20:50 |
| jrib | loquitus_of_bor1: that's completely dependent on you. Intrepid and Hardy are both fine. If you want to have newer stuff, then upgrade. If hardy works for you and you're not interested in newer stuff, then stay | 20:50 |
| n8tuser | loquitus_of_bor1-> you already started your update... | 20:50 |
| compengi | RealNitro, when you go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and select a server, the servers are divided into continantes | 20:50 |
| amews_aj | how can it be that the downloading packages is a lot slower that it used to be? Just many people downloading ? | 20:51 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | jrib: I love to have newer stuff, but do you recommend updating right now (is it overly slow and busy)? Also, with some software (not Ubuntu necessarily), they say you should wait a week or so before doing it just in case there are kinks that went unnoticed before the release... | 20:51 |
| NicEXE | I expanded (grow) my ext3 partition, formated it, (as ext3) restored my data but the problem is that GRUB is not working showing me "Error 17" what do I have to do? | 20:51 |
| gangsterlicious | i tarred the guest and ran it on hardy host | 20:51 |
| spidora | jrib: no device detected? | 20:51 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | n8tuser: I already started my update? | 20:51 |
| jrib | spidora: huh? | 20:51 |
| n8tuser | loquitus_of_bor1-> thats what you said didnt you? i dont need to repeat what you said..lol | 20:51 |
| velko | RealNitro, the german servers were not bad yesterday | 20:51 |
| matreya6 | Some processes don't seem to show up in top. All processes use a sum of 23%, but my system monitor tells me that the processor is used for the full 100%. This stalls my system and after a while things continue as usual. | 20:52 |
| amews_aj | Is it just me or are the download of package files slow? | 20:52 |
| compengi | amews_aj, propably | 20:52 |
| shad0w0fsin | anyone know how to decrease the boot time in ibex? its slower than hardy for me | 20:52 |
| amews_aj | k | 20:52 |
| compengi | probably* | 20:52 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | n8tuser: no. that's not what I said. if you care, read it again. I never mentioned anything about having already started the update process. | 20:52 |
| amews_aj | compengi: I only download at 16-20 kb/s, usually I download with up to 1,3 mb/s | 20:52 |
| thethirdmoose | How do I enable the new power button? | 20:52 |
| NicEXE | I expanded (grow) my ext3 partition, formated it, (as ext3) restored my data but the problem is that GRUB is not working showing me "Error 17" what do I have to do? | 20:52 |
| jrib | loquitus_of_bor1: the beta and rc have been out for a couple of weeks now and got a lot of testing. As for your traffic concerns, it's probably true some mirrors are getting hammered at the moment, so waiting a bit won't hurt | 20:52 |
| Moman | Can anyone help me share files on my lan? | 20:52 |
| spidora | jrib: The USB drive is detected as such by Ubuntu, but it will not mount "unreadable", and it will not open in GParted "no device detected" | 20:52 |
| Megaqwerty | amews_aj: try changing your mirror | 20:52 |
| compengi | amews_aj, select a different source? :D | 20:52 |

| amews_aj | How do I do that? I am a ubuntu beginner... | 20:52 |

| RealNitro | thx | 20:53 |
| matreya6 | spidora, has your USB drive ever been formatted? | 20:53 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | jrib: ok... if I want to do it now (upgrade from hardy to intrepid), what is the best way to do so? | 20:53 |
| spidora | jrib sudo mount, double click, sudo gparted... | 20:53 |
| sceo | n8tuser outbackwifi - just thought I'd pop in and say thanks for all your effort this morning. as it turns out, it WAS the firewall (ufw) that was preventing me from getting to the Internet; sudo ufw disable fixed all my problems | 20:53 |

| spidora | matreya6: yes, in XP. | 20:53 |
| jrib | spidora: be specific... | 20:53 |
| n8tuser | loquitus_of_bor1-> the process of updating to it, especially right now. <-- it meant to me you are doing it now | 20:53 |
| amews_aj | Megaqwerty: I am downloading from the local server in my country... | 20:53 |
| magnetron | matreya6→ top doesn't list the linux kernel CPU usage | 20:53 |
| amews_aj | Should I go main server? | 20:53 |
| matreya6 | spidora, did you create an encrypted NTFS partition on that stick? | 20:54 |
| thethirdmoose | My power button is the old kind that brings up a dialog box. How do I enable the new Ibex power button? | 20:54 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | n8tuser: doing it now as opposed to in a week. | 20:54 |
| compengi | shad0w0fsin, your boot time depends on what applications you have on startup. check your /etc/init.conf and see what you have on boot and remove if you don't need it | 20:54 |

| amews_aj | Megaqwerty: I suppose all default servers are safe ? | 20:54 |
| vahnx | The loading bar duplicates for me. | 20:54 |
| Megaqwerty | amews_aj: correct | 20:54 |

| matreya6 | spidora, There is no important info on that stick? Else you will erase any existing data that way (!) | 20:55 |
| SilverStreak | hey, I'm suffering from bug 271706 which involves a multimedia key not sending a keyup event, therefore trapping the aforementioned key in an endless loop and locking up my keyboard - any solutions for this? | 20:55 |

| spidora | matreya6: Nothing I don't already have backed up. | 20:56 |

| matreya6 | spidora, OK you got me worried a while ;-) | 20:56 |

| XThief | vahnx but doesnt turn off, it puts a black screen, but still on | 20:57 |
| spidora | matreya6: I really wanted to use GParted to blend the 2 particians. It's a cruiser, so it has the factory junk softyware for running a pseudo OS off of the Stick in Windows. | 20:57 |
| n8tuser | thethirdmoose-> then i dont know, i dont know what you're looking for | 20:57 |
| vahnx | GoCool: You must change a setting in the Update Manager | 20:58 |

| spidora | jrib Ok, so the device is sdb, and scd2, so I have tried manually, and through terminal to open these particians or to format them. Thant is my problem. | 20:58 |
| berosford | All the guides are for Gutsy. | 20:59 |

| spidora | jrib: it is a "cruiser"... It mounts a virtual CD drive as one partician to run a pseudo OS off of the stick in Windows. I would preferably like to get rid of that, blend the 2 particians, and have a normal USB stick. | 21:00 |
| vahnx | I upgraded to be up-to-date | 21:00 |
| vahnx | and to see the new features | 21:00 |
| amews_aj | Megaqwerty: ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ubuntu | 21:00 |

| compengi | kane77, you need to know each computer's ip for that, if you are setup as dhcp this won't stop anything, you just need to know other pc's ips | 21:03 |
| Megaqwerty | amews_aj: that depends. How are you installing 3? Are you using the Launchpad ppa? | 21:03 |

| starcannon | ircmonkey xmms used to be my favorite, and indeed I felt the same way as you; that is, until I used Audacious, all the familiar gui controls and functionality, but with modern parts under the hood, I highly recommend it to any xmms folks running Ubuntu | 21:03 |

| Gogh | Hi there! Anyone who can tell me if a PPC port of the latest Ubuntu exists yet? | 21:04 |
| jrib | spidora: what's the output of 'sudo fdisk -l'? | 21:04 |
| Megaqwerty | amews_aj: not what I meant. | 21:04 |
| jrib | !ppc | Gogh | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Gogh: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 21:04 |
| amews_aj | Megaqwerty: ? | 21:04 |

| MagicPee | spidora : yes i can start it using sudo | 21:04 |
| Moman | How do I become Root | 21:04 |
| compengi | Moman, su | 21:04 |
| jrib | !sudo | Moman | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Moman: 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) | 21:04 |
| N0_Named_Guy | Momam: just run sudo :D | 21:05 |
| spidora | jrib: nothing pertaining to the USB stick, just my HDD. | 21:05 |
| starcannon | Gogh on the beta 8.10 I was able to download a ppc version for the Playstation 3, don't know if it made release or not though | 21:05 |
| Gogh | Hmm! | 21:05 |
| Moman | Thanks | 21:05 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | So I have release 8.04. Is that the same as "8.04 LTS" and does that mean I need to follow the specific directions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades ? | 21:05 |
| Megaqwerty | amews_aj: just follow this guide: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml | 21:05 |
| Gogh | I'll try digging around, thanks! | 21:05 |
| compengi | Moman, use "su" only if you know what are you doing | 21:05 |
| Gogh | Glad that PPC is still being supported by the community, anyhow! | 21:05 |
| jrib | spidora: what do you get from dmesg when you plug it in? | 21:05 |
| amews_aj | Megaqwerty: Not removing 2.4 first? | 21:05 |

| jrib | Gogh: cdimage.ubuntu.com is timing out, but I would check there | 21:06 |

| loquitus_of_bor1 | kane77: I know what LTS means but when I checked out what I have right now, it says 8.04, not 8.04 LTS. | 21:06 |
| jrib | spidora: right, you're supposed to look for interesting stuff at the end | 21:06 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | Do I actually have 8.04 LTS even if it says only 8.04? | 21:06 |
| jrib | loquitus_of_bor1: yes | 21:06 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | I did lsp_release -a | 21:06 |
| loquitus_of_bor1 | ah ok | 21:06 |

| spidora | jrib: So I'm going to assume the drive is sdg? | 21:08 |
| starcannon | shipitkthx probably the easiest way is to backup your data, do a reinstall, this time be sure to set up a seperate /home partition (this will allow you to reinstall in the future with out the big backup headache) | 21:08 |
| compengi | loquitus_of_bor1, LTS only mean Long Term Support (which is 3 years for desktops and 5 years for servers) | 21:08 |

| giannoug | can someone help with apache2? :( | 21:09 |
| geboy | hi | 21:09 |
| jrib | giannoug: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you | 21:09 |
| geboy | i'm with giannoug then | 21:09 |
| mordof | giannoug: #apache? | 21:09 |
| jrib | spidora: so can you format that in gparted? | 21:09 |
| geboy | i need to setup vhost using apache2 in ubuntu | 21:09 |
| Gogh | On a sidenote, it seems that there's no "official" community 8.10 for PPC out, but I'll just keep my eyes open | 21:09 |
| snova | Megaqwerty: you wouldn't happen to know if oxygen cursors work in gnome, would you? | 21:09 |
| SilverStreak | If I'm having input problems, is it a good idea to roll back my x.org to an earlier version? One of my multimedia keys isn't sending a keyup event, so it gets caught in an endless loop | 21:09 |

| spidora | jrib: No device detected. | 21:09 |
| shipitkthx | also for some reason i can't load any installation cds | 21:09 |
| mordof | giannoug: what's the problem? | 21:09 |
| compengi | geboy, it's better to ask in #apache | 21:10 |
| starcannon | giannoug probably best place for apache support is in #apache though you may find some help here as well | 21:10 |
| geboy | the people in apache says ubuntu messed up with the config | 21:10 |
| Megaqwerty | snova: no idea. I've never tried tweaking my cursor before. | 21:10 |
| shipitkthx | so basically i'm screwed | 21:10 |

| Meindert | Hallo, does anybody know if the md5sum of xubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso is correct? I downloaded it twice from different sites and got this md5sum: b6480199ab98b996f052208fd947e59c xubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso which is different from the md5sum on the site. | 21:31 |
| rockyrock | compengi: i had same problem with external hard disks | 21:31 |
| jZed | nah, keep the gui but I want virtualization and a webserver mysql etc. | 21:31 |

| mordof | is there a way to check the internet connection activity in the console? | 21:31 |
| Freon | ping | 21:31 |
| Tulimaq | rockyrock, try to check it for errors i had the same problem before | 21:32 |
| Freon | @mordof | 21:32 |
| sken | which is the best in ubuntu limewire or frostwire? | 21:32 |
| Flannel | jZed: Linux doesn't differentiate between "servers" and "desktops", theyre all jsut programs. the difference between the server and desktop version of Ubuntu is default packages. So, just install the stuff you want ontop. | 21:32 |
| mordof | Freon: activity | 21:32 |
| Freon | mordof: ??? | 21:32 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | how can I check which packages are dependant of a given package? | 21:32 |
| mordof | Freon: not whether it works or not | 21:32 |
| Flannel | jZed: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP and or !lamp (it'll tell you how to use tasksel, if the previous page is more detail than you want) | 21:32 |
| rockyrock | Tulimaq: what errors?? And how to do the check in ubuntu? | 21:32 |
| unop | Azhi_Dahaka, apt-cache depends package_name | 21:32 |
| Freon | ok? | 21:32 |
| Odd-rationale | i beleive the server version has a differnet kernel by default... but everything are in the repos... | 21:32 |
| mordof | Freon: so? ping doesn't keep track of what you're doing and tell you what's going on | 21:33 |
| P_Kable|Laptop | anybody had problem upgrading from hardy to intrepid? I do not have internet access ! | 21:33 |
| Flannel | Odd-rationale: the -server kernel is in the repos as well, but if he's running a desktop, he doesn't want that kernel anyway | 21:33 |

| unop | !forstwire | sken | 21:34 |

| rockyrock | unop compengi: do i have to do the same steps every time i need to mount the memory card???? That's horriable! | 21:35 |
| compengi | sken, frostwire is open source, which is linux native :) | 21:35 |
| sken | ok | 21:35 |
| compengi | rockyrock, add it to your fstab | 21:35 |
| unop | compengi, eh? something being open-source doesn't make it native to linux. | 21:35 |
| rockyrock | compengi: how to do that? | 21:35 |
| scrosson | Hi id like to ask if there is a way to restore my ubuntu installation back to what it was before i played around with madwifi (like back to the default settings) without compelely reformating the partition and drive. | 21:35 |
| jZed | [Flannel] thanks, yes I understand it's all just packages, I was wondering if there was some meta-package that would grab stuff, especiall KVM | 21:36 |
| kami1 | Hi I have a problem with sound - if any application plays any sound the sound will play only for a second and then repeat the section until I cancel the process can anybody help me out please? | 21:36 |
| mordof | Freon: reason being, ssh is responding slowly.. i should be the only one doing anything with it, so it should be fast. i wanna know if anything else is going on. | 21:36 |
| compengi | unop, linux native meaning which linux prefers the most | 21:36 |
| Freon | mordof: you can add a panel applet wichch shows your inet act... | 21:36 |
| sluggy | hi all | 21:36 |
| unop | compengi, linux is an operating system, it has no preferences | 21:36 |
| mordof | Freon: console app | 21:36 |
| mordof | Freon: shell/bash? maybe | 21:36 |
| Freon | iptraf | 21:36 |
| mordof | Freon: if that's what it's called. ssh, no X | 21:36 |

| sken | when i want to login as a root terminal says su: Authentication failure | 21:37 |
| Flannel | KMan: reboot, at the GRUB menu (hit escape) after POST to see the grub menu, hit 'e' on the first entry, remove quiet and splash from the end of the line, then boot that. It'll give you a lot more information | 21:37 |
| sken | why? | 21:37 |
| jrib | !root | sken | 21:37 |
| ubottu | sken: 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 | 21:37 |
| PovAddict | sken: use sudo to get root access | 21:37 |

| compengi | !fstab | rockyrock | 21:38 |
| ubottu | rockyrock: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 21:38 |
| Freon | ty? | 21:38 |

| Neeeewbee | wow.. ubuntu is about useless if you have no doc's that explain which files under the hood do what. All doc's tell you HOWTO do stuff through the gui. But if Ubuntu breaks, which it does constantly you have know support.. CYA ubuntu.. pos | 21:41 |

| PovAddict | ivan_: maybe your computer can behave as a "router" for your purposes, but you need *two* network cards to do that | 21:41 |

| === theRipper is now known as Zeu | ||

| tt3l3r | hey, does anyone know how I can browse my hard drive in kubuntu? If I go to "Storage Media" and click on my drive I get the message "Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" dosen't exist". This disk is encrypted. | 21:43 |

| Flannel | netof_100: Please don't do that here | 21:43 |
| sqrammi | Flannel: exactly, in the context of dependencies | 21:43 |
| PovAddict | netof_100: you joined just to advertise your channel? | 21:43 |
| compengi | rockyrock, you are missing storage group | 21:43 |
| Slart | Finn_M: behave like you normally would among people.. that's about it.. if you have a question about ubuntu just ask | 21:43 |
| rockyrock | compengi: so? | 21:43 |
| Freon | Gurb: can you tell me what y have tried allready | 21:43 |
| johnsie | is there script executed then gnome starts that decides which services start? | 21:43 |
| Flannel | sqrammi: required dependencies are ones that... are dependencies of the package (or of packages of packages) that you specify to install. | 21:43 |
| sqrammi | Flannel: is there any way to find out which installed packages are required | 21:43 |
| Finn_M | i feel like a moocher just logging in to ask about bluetooth problems | 21:43 |

| Flannel | paul____: #winehq | 21:44 |
| paul____ | thank you | 21:44 |
| sqrammi | Flannel: ok, yeah, I'm thinking a "required' package is exactly the opposite. No, I want to list all packages that have dependencies | 21:44 |
| Tom_Davis | netof_100: sudo mount -o loop /path /mnt/path | 21:44 |
| Finn_M | in any case, does anyone have any experience making a dell bluetooth mouse work on ubuntu 8.04? | 21:44 |
| Flannel | !iso | netof_100 | 21:44 |
| ubottu | netof_100: 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. | 21:44 |
| Slart | Finn_M: ok, try putting all the needed information in one line, version of ubuntu, problem you're having.. what you've tried.. any error messages etc | 21:44 |
| Freon | netof_100: mount -o loop isofile mountpoint | 21:44 |

| lifestream | Flannel, UTC eh? *goes fiddle with time settings* hehe, sounds so silly, thanks :P | 21:47 |

| Flannel | Azhi_Dahaka: You can upgrade with an alternate CD | 21:47 |
| Flannel | RickZilla: Your Edubuntu was ontop of your Ubuntu? or did you dual boot for some silly reason? | 21:47 |
| vixey | jrib, no, I chose the CD in startup items then restarted from maco s | 21:48 |
| Pelo | ok I give up , how do I get rid of the wheelchair icon in the top panel ? | 21:48 |
| RickZilla | Flannel: Didn't dual boot...I installed ubuntu first, then edubuntu | 21:48 |

| kami1 | emilien: actually I have alsa drivers but I don't really have a lot experience with them... | 21:51 |
| Pelo | Megaqwerty, , I'm not talking about the menu , I'm talking about the wheelchair access icon in the notification area on the right side of the top panel, it's for special access features . like magnifihying glass and such , I uninstalled all I could think of but the icon still starts up and I can't figure out what application it is for | 21:51 |
| Freon | ok | 21:51 |
| RickZilla | netof_100: That would be a good reason to run Photoshop | 21:51 |
| vixey | jrib, I can't find the MD5.. the iso I downloaded did boot in VMware though | 21:51 |
| kami1 | emilien: only the default | 21:51 |
| ryancr | I have two monitors plugged in but "Screen Resolution" only shows one, do I need to edit my xorg.conf to add a second monitor (I thought we were past this) | 21:51 |
| Flannel | netof_100: You'll likely want to use some sort of virtualization. Although you might also check out wine. See #winehq and ask them about how well your specific photoshop version works with wine | 21:51 |
| Freon | Gubr: ok, try iwconfig, what's the result? | 21:52 |
| Pelo | ryancr, nvidia card ? install nvidia-settings, you can set if from there | 21:52 |
| jrib | vixey: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/MD5SUMS Also, try to burn at 2x or 4x | 21:52 |
| Megaqwerty | Pelo: ah, it might be "Visual Assistance" which you can disable in System>Preferences>Sessions | 21:52 |
| emilien | kami1: in sound tab play around with commands , else try disabling acpi http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=21189 | 21:52 |

| wolfwalker | What repo is XChat in in 8.10 and how to I turn that repo on? All I can get is XChat gnome. | 21:52 |
| netof_100 | to have is a virtual machine is too complicated for me, so I'm trying wine or crossover | 21:52 |
| bradL1 | I have some windows that won't close, how do I force them to close? | 21:52 |
| ryancr | Pelo: nvidia-settings works fine, but I need to rotate a single montior, and TwinView doesn't allow that | 21:52 |
| Pelo | Megaqwerty, already done which is why I'm so puzzled | 21:52 |
| Gubr | Freon: sorry for stupid question, but where should I type this "iwconfig"? I just started with linux... | 21:53 |
| Flannel | KMan: reboot, at the GRUB menu (hit escape) after POST to see the grub menu, hit 'e' on the first entry, remove quiet and splash from the end of the line, then boot that (by hitting 'b' if I remember, but follow the onscreen instructions). It'll give you a lot more information | 21:53 |
| ryancr | f|uke: 8.10 | 21:53 |
| Pelo | ryancr, might want to use seperate X then | 21:53 |
| mopped | My headset is #1 on cat /proc/asound/devices, and I need it to be #0, so its the default sound output - how do i do this | 21:53 |

| Freon | Gubr: can you start a terminal? | 21:53 |
| Pelo | ryancr, I recommend you try and ask in #nvidia , they might have a clue | 21:53 |
| Gubr | Freon: "run command"? | 21:53 |
| wolfwalker | Ain't dunnit | 21:53 |
| ryancr | Pelo: yeah, thats where I thought the Screen Resolution app might come in handy | 21:53 |
| Freon | try it | 21:53 |
| NicEXE | when the grub dialog is shown and I select any of the prompted linux selections, grub returns me an error 17 (the selected volume can't be mounted" What should I do? | 21:53 |
| wolfwalker | All search gives me is xchat gnome | 21:53 |
| f|uke | still, you should see the second monitor just by clicking "detect displays" | 21:54 |
| ryancr | f|uke: yeah, thats what I thought, but its not there | 21:54 |
| noodlesgc | wolfwalker try this: sudo apt-get install xchat | 21:54 |
| ditch64 | whenever someones free, i could use help with grub. i have a lot of time so no rush: i get error 21 i am not dual booting or anything i just did a fresh install of the latest ubuntu | 21:54 |

| aeselvenor | hello everyone, i'm having a wireless problem. lshw shows 2 wireless networking interfaces. the first is the one i want to use (has a correct configuration: driver=), but has no interface name. the second is listed as DISABLED, has no driver, but has the interface name "wlan0". i'm assuming the first one (with a different physical id) should be what the system recognizes as wlan0. any way to make that happen? | 22:09 |
| noodlesgc | vlt there are over 25,000 available for 32bit. you can browse at packages.ubuntu.com | 22:09 |
| qwe | Hello has any installed ubuntu on HP? | 22:10 |

| vlt | noodlesgc: I mean what packages are missing in ubuntu for amd64? | 22:10 |
| erisco | jrib, which is so highly unlikely at this point... I've tried at least 2 dozen ways to get ubuntu 8.10 installed | 22:10 |
| jrib | erisco: were you the one with the missing hard disks? | 22:10 |
| Aeosynth | when i play movies, they play extremely slowly, as in 1fps. can anyone tell me how to fix this? I'm using the default totem player. | 22:11 |

| erisco | jrib, because I want to reformat | 22:12 |
| decherd1 | NicEXE: the grub manual says that grub does not recognize the filesytem. Could it be directed to an NTFS partition (dual booting)? | 22:12 |

| jrib | le000: when you need to do a lot of sudo stuff use 'sudo -i' by the way. And then 'exit' when you are done. Should be a rare occasion though ;) | 22:13 |
| le000 | but i dont like ubuntu keep asking me the root password | 22:13 |

| danhs1 | Hey I have a really weird question. When I upgraded to intrepid I got a message that I had a degraded raid array. md0 was degraded, etc.... | 22:16 |
| danhs1 | so I'm trying to get it setup again....but according to /proc/mdstat my raid array has dm-1 as a component disk | 22:16 |
| qwe | hardy heron 8.04 | 22:16 |
| NicEXE | grub shows me a list of the available OSs every time I select one of the ubuntu OS (recovery mode or not) it shows me the error 17... If I select windows from the list grub launches windows normally... | 22:16 |
| danhs1 | this doesn't make sense to me that it's not sda1..... | 22:16 |
| f|uke | _Carrie_: Ok, I admit. Thats handy :) ty | 22:16 |
| Gubr | Tulimaq: I do not have "Administration", I have "Hardware drivers manager" - will check there... | 22:16 |

| SilverStreak | anybody know how to prevent xorg from auto configuring a USB device? | 22:16 |

| emilien | sken: yes | 23:10 |
| cactaur | Guinnesss: I was talking about upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid. | 23:10 |
| CardiacKid | a developer where I work said if I move home, to a secure drive, if and when I get a new boot drive and hardware, all my settings and programs will live in the new home on the new drive. | 23:10 |
| jrib | andre_d: forever or just one time? and why? | 23:10 |
| erisco | simpman, I don't want to run it from a flash drive... I want to install it from a flash drive | 23:10 |
| andre_d | jrib: Just one time | 23:10 |
| jrib | andre_d: why? | 23:10 |
| compengi | CardiacKid, syntax: "cp -R /home/* /path/to/other/directory" this means that you are copying every thing in your home and since home is a directory and contains directories we should use -R flag for that. so the first part of our command is finished. the second part is where you want to copy your files to, you should speficy a path to it | 23:10 |
| simpman | Just basically copies the Ubuntu 8.10 cd, can install from boot | 23:11 |
| Guinnesss | cactaur: I tried that too, but it wanted do download an additional 340Mb, so I decided to do a fresh install instead. | 23:11 |

| saruji | thank you mindframe but how do i join it? | 23:11 |

| MothOnLovesFlame | is there a way to download flash videos in ubuntu? | 23:14 |
| CardiacKid | I understand that part. but what changes the home target? | 23:14 |
| Guinnesss | erisco: I must say, apart from installing it on a usb drive I dont know how else? (if you know someone with ibex installed already there's an app that allows you to make a bootable usb drive by default). Anyway if you could get to someone, you could probably just get a cd? | 23:14 |
| vitamin-carrot_ | or you could just goto getdeb.net and download the songbird.deb file | 23:15 |

| mrono | vitamin no that was my next thing | 23:26 |
| unr3a1 | bimberi: it wont start at all because it says I do not have any configured screens | 23:26 |
| mrono | can you direct me to the ati drivers | 23:26 |
| unr3a1 | bimberi: I tried to do a X -configure but all it did was bring me to a blank screen | 23:26 |
| zerothis | erisco: sorry, I missed that detail. uhm. I don't know. I don't suppose you could install usb-creator in your current system? hmm, probable complicated, I heard it requires changes to grub and some other apps | 23:26 |
| Guinnesss | DeadBattery: They should. | 23:26 |

| sken_ | ? emilie | 23:27 |
| compengi | magicrobotmonkey, did you check if alsamixer is muted? | 23:27 |
| Guinnesss | DeadBattery: They do for me, but I think it depends on what you set it to in Aptitude (Keep/Delete package) | 23:27 |
| Miesco | So I got 5 minutes to come up with something to do to troubleshoot | 23:27 |
| magicrobotmonkey | compengi: where, in alsamixer? its not | 23:27 |
| csilk | Is there an easy way to print screen an open menu from gnome desktop? | 23:27 |
| unr3a1 | bimberi: Right now, I am in a text based IRC, because I cannot get into x-server at all | 23:27 |
| magicrobotmonkey | compengi: im on an upgrade from hardy where sound was working | 23:27 |
| compengi | magicrobotmonkey, do you have all bars up? | 23:28 |

| compengi | magicrobotmonkey, so higher the others too | 23:28 |
| unr3a1 | are there any other auto configurators for x-server? | 23:28 |
| bimberi | unr3a1: try a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 23:28 |
| magicrobotmonkey | compengi: no, theres only 1 bar | 23:28 |
| magicrobotmonkey | but i might be on to something | 23:28 |

| ianliu_88 | I have a local network on my home with Windows PCs, which are able to comunicate between them. But my ubuntu can't see than trough Places > Network.... | 23:30 |
| Bro_ken | I'm trying out 8.10, and I'm trying to get my wireless card to work. I have an HP dv1610us and lspci returns that it is broadcom bcm4318. I've gotten an external card to work on a different laptop using ndisgtk, and I tried that. It says that the drivers are installed, but it's not listing my access point in the network manager. Did I miss a step? | 23:30 |
| magicrobotmonkey | compengi: i have a bunch of bars in gnome-volume-control | 23:30 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !usb | 23:30 |

| magicrobotmonkey | and one was down | 23:30 |
| compengi | ianliu_88, did you install samba? | 23:30 |
| ianliu_88 | compengi: I thought it is already installed | 23:31 |
| compengi | ianliu_88, i don't think it's shipped by default with the lastest distro | 23:31 |
| ianliu_88 | compengi: hmm, let me try, thanks | 23:32 |
| magicrobotmonkey | damn still no headphone jack | 23:32 |
| amews_aj | Nobody can help with this issue? | 23:32 |
| csilk | amews_aj, it's a dust theme specific issue | 23:32 |
| ianliu_88 | compengi: dumb me... Installing ;) | 23:32 |
| Guinnesss | bye | 23:32 |
| compengi | ianliu_88, :D | 23:32 |
| amews_aj | csilk: But on screenshots it works fine | 23:32 |
| Miesco_ | See, it JUST FROZE, where can I get help with Ubuntu 8.10? | 23:32 |
| compengi | Miesco_, try reading the topic | 23:33 |
| Bro_ken | !wireless | 23:33 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:33 |
| SeaPhor | Miesco_, does it only freeze on 8.10? | 23:33 |
| csilk | amews_aj, it's not an officially supported theme and not many people use it so you might not get a response here, by all means keep trying though. | 23:33 |
| amews_aj | csilk: Yea, but it works on screenshots, maybe ooo3 comp. issue ? | 23:34 |
| ConstantineXVI | Am I better off using GNOME X-Chat, or vanilla X-Chat? | 23:34 |
| csilk | amews_aj, yeah it will be an OOo3 specific issue more than likely | 23:34 |
| compengi | !better | ConstantineXVI | 23:34 |
| ubottu | ConstantineXVI: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 23:35 |

| knix_ | anyone here know how to get a gigabeat to get recognized by ubuntu? | 23:36 |
| csilk | amews_aj, what exactly is the problem? | 23:36 |
| blak | Is there a way to change the font size or the user login box size for the ubuntu login screen? I don't see that in the basic options for it? | 23:36 |
| erisco | I have been literally working 10 hours nonstop trying to get ubuntu 8.10 installed without using a CD. If anyone could please assist in any way, by referring me to a working method, it would be ridiculously appreciated | 23:36 |
| newii | would ubuntu be good OS for my old pc ? | 23:36 |
| amews_aj | Well, all text disappears | 23:36 |
| blak | most likely newii | 23:37 |
| csilk | amews_aj, change to human then to human clearlooks | 23:37 |
| amews_aj | No change | 23:37 |
| go_beep_yourself | im upgrading to ibex. im getting a few questions along the way. i have no idea what this is. what should i do here please? http://img373.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotdebconfonubunhi9.png | 23:38 |
| csilk | amews_aj, hmm, yeah I don't usually mess with themes so that's about as far as my knowledge goes | 23:38 |
| unr3a1 | birberi: it didn't work | 23:38 |
| Bro_ken | Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? | 23:38 |
| Bro_ken | I'm trying out 8.10, and I'm trying to get my wireless card to work. I have an HP dv1610us and lspci returns that it is broadcom bcm4318. I've gotten an external card to work on a different laptop using ndisgtk, and I tried that. It says that the drivers are installed, but it's not listing my access point in the network manager. Did I miss a step? | 23:38 |
| csilk | go_beep_yourself, how did you get that window? | 23:39 |
| go_beep_yourself | csilk-> debconf from update-manager doing a hardy>ibex upgrade | 23:39 |
| unr3a1 | I got: Saw signal 11. Server aborting. xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to x-server... xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error | 23:39 |
| csilk | go_beep_yourself, they look like firefox supported ssl certificates | 23:39 |
| amews_aj | csilk: where can I upload image? | 23:39 |
| blak | go_beep_yourself: just skip that | 23:39 |
| go_beep_yourself | csilk-> blak how am i supposed to know which ones to check off and which ones to not? | 23:40 |
| csilk | amews_aj, without an account, I don't know | 23:40 |
| csilk | go_beep_yourself, i dont understand why you're having to do that | 23:40 |
| blak | go_beep_yourself: you dont need to worry about it, just do forward | 23:40 |
| unr3a1 | binberi? | 23:40 |
| blak | go_beep_yourself: if those are necessary for some weird reason you can handle that later | 23:40 |
| go_beep_yourself | blak-> ok thx | 23:41 |
| sken_ | emilien this help is too old | 23:41 |
| ConstantineXVI | okay, vanilla xchat connected me twice | 23:41 |
| sken_ | i cannot find a solution | 23:41 |
| csilk | blak, they are authorised root certs that firefox will accept without throwing a security warning, I don't understand why you would ever be asked to select them? | 23:41 |
| blak | csilk: i think he will be ok to ignore that, because of that | 23:41 |
| csilk | yeah | 23:41 |
| csilk | probably | 23:41 |
| mrono | i installed my ATI drivers and compiz still hangs | 23:42 |
| piju | !pingme | 23:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pingme | 23:42 |
| blak | csilk: i would just hit forward myself, i see no reason to worry about any of those right now... if those are a problem then there is a larger one than that area for sure | 23:42 |
| unr3a1 | I feel your pain, sken_ I cannot find any solution for my issue either | 23:42 |

| jj_galvez | unr3a1: what video card are you using? | 23:43 |
| csilk | amews_aj, ok, set humand clearlooks then log out and log in again, that should fix that problem | 23:43 |
| unr3a1 | jj_galvez: ati radeon 9600/9700 | 23:43 |
| icqnumber | mrono, looks good | 23:44 |
| mrono | what's supposed to happen | 23:44 |
| mrono | nothing happens, the console just sits there | 23:44 |
| icqnumber | mrono, yes, but compiz fusion is working | 23:45 |
| mrono | how do i use it | 23:45 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: have you tried envyng to try and install new drivers? it should configure x for you as well | 23:45 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: at least thats always worked for me with nvidia | 23:46 |
| unr3a1 | jj_galvez: no i have not... whats the command? | 23:46 |
| amews_aj | csilk: nope, still same problem | 23:46 |
| jj_galvez | envyng -t | 23:46 |
| icqnumber | mrono, system -> preference ->appearance, goto tab visual effects, extra | 23:46 |
| csilk | amews_aj, did you actually log out of the x session? | 23:46 |
| unr3a1 | ok... I am gonna go try it | 23:46 |
| amews_aj | Ctrl+alt+backspace | 23:46 |
| unr3a1 | brb | 23:46 |
| mrono | icqnum, oh, i was told it was a settings panel for stuff, | 23:47 |
| mrono | i'm trying to get to the settings for my desktop switcher | 23:47 |
| csilk | amews_aj, hmm, in that case I'm not really sure | 23:47 |
| icqnumber | mrono,then you can install ccsm, type it in terminal and it will tell you howto | 23:47 |
| ianliu_88 | I can't access my windows network with Nautilus... it shows my Network groups but can't find any PC in there, although I can directly enter the IP address, but that is really annoying, since I must go search the machine IP. Any hints? | 23:47 |

| aprilhare | i get this feeling this isnt supposed to happen :) | 23:49 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: the package might not be installed try apt-get install envyng first | 23:49 |
| unr3a1 | aprilhare: you have to then change it back to 4. I had the same thing happen. for whatever reason, it resets the desktops to just one | 23:49 |
| aprilhare | unr3a1, how? | 23:49 |
| unr3a1 | kk, jj_galvez. let me try again. brb | 23:49 |

| kholerabbi | 8.10 desktop btw | 23:52 |
| tsrk | Hi, I had a windows partition when I installed ubuntu, and I tried to resize it during installation but for some reason the resize failed. I just left it at it's current size and installed ubuntu on a different partition however now it can't seem to mount the ntfs filesystem or read it at all. There are some files that I need to retrieve from the partition, what's the best way to do this, if it's even possible? | 23:52 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: try apt-get install envyng-gtk | 23:53 |
| mikel | kholerabbi what software do you use to burn? | 23:53 |
| unr3a1 | kk... brb | 23:53 |

| kholerabbi | favro Could be. it reads fine and burns dvds in other cases to the best of my knowledge | 23:55 |
| csilk | amews_aj, that's pretty strange, you could always post a bug report listing the steps you have taken to get this problem | 23:56 |
| amews_aj | csilk: Is it easy to downgrade to ooo 2.4 ? | 23:57 |
| kholerabbi | favro, mikel: the only theing I could think off that could be a problem is I burnt the CD iso to and DVD disc. I thought I'd mention it.. | 23:57 |
| MonkeyMan | My upgrade is wacked. I had hoped for a good upgrade to intrepid but all I am presented with is a whilte screen when booting into gnome. I can boot into gnome safe mode and command line. Any ideas how to fix this ? | 23:57 |
| ericrost | I have a server that I just installed a new hdd into that has a 500 GB xfs partition on it. I am attempting to mount it under /home/eric but it won't mount at boot even though I know I have the uuid | 23:57 |
| mikel | kholerabbi ok i have noticed that for somereason iv noticed on some burners that intrepid is a bit finicky i think it may have something to do with its booable flags most of the time it will bot but the cd doesnot function right (iv had this problem myself) download and try a free program called imgburn its under 2 megs and it was the only way many people were able to get the intrepid to work (and the dvd thing shouldent matter) | 23:57 |
| ericrost | correct in fstab (verified multiple times). When I mount it manually everthing is fine, and I can't figure out what to do to troubleshoot further | 23:57 |
| favro | kholerabbi: burning to dvd "shouldn't" matter afaik | 23:57 |
| csilk | amews_aj, erm.. I guess if you use synaptic to remive OOo3 and make sure you dont have the OOo3 repos in your software sources list then you should just be able to do sudo apt-get install openoffice.org | 23:58 |

| kholerabbi | favro mikel: thanks, I'll try imgburn. and yeah it does always boot. It's only afterwards there's problems. | 23:58 |
