| xaris | hi i can i have a dual core laptop with 3 gb ram but i run a 32 bit Windows can i download and install a 64 bit linux? | 00:00 |
| sken_ | does anybody know about this issue? http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linux-Kernel-Regression-in-Ubuntu-8-10-Upgrade-Now-96839.shtml | 00:00 |
| unr3a1 | jj_galvex: still nothing. startx gets no screens detected | 00:00 |
| kholerabbi | mikel: this has been tested under wine? | 00:00 |
| mikel | xaris: if your processor is a 32bit proc it will run 64bit ubuntu but again no need | 00:00 |
| DIFH-iceroot | xaris: yes you can use linux 64 bit if you already have win32 | 00:00 |
| Lars_G | xaris: if the laptop is 64bit you can run 64bit linux on it. | 00:00 |

| sken_ | hello ubu guys | 00:01 |
| Lars_G | Any tips for the 8.10 way to install nvidia video drivers? or should I just pull nvidia's installer? | 00:01 |
| cloud-ieee | Zamba, Mplayer gives me an error. | 00:01 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: sorry I'm out of ideas, hopefully someone else with more insight will pipe up | 00:01 |
| sken_ | i want help with my songbird installation | 00:01 |
| zamba | cloud-ieee: you probably need the win32 codecs | 00:01 |
| xaris | Then i stay i 32 bit :) | 00:01 |
| MonkeyMan | What about how to fix intrepid that will not load gnome gui. Just sits there with whilte screen. Help | 00:01 |

| jj_galvez | Lars_G: I used envyng -t last night and it worked fine | 00:02 |
| shad0w0fsin | HELP, can anyone give me a link to the default sources.list in intrepid I accidentally wiped it | 00:02 |
| xaris | :P | 00:02 |
| Lars_G | mercutio22: package? | 00:02 |
| Lars_G | I'll check it out | 00:02 |
| unr3a1 | jj_galvez: yea... I will probably end ip posting on linuxquestions | 00:02 |
| xaris | linux 8.10 is ok>? | 00:02 |
| unr3a1 | end up* | 00:02 |
| unr3a1 | I just dont get why this would happen | 00:02 |
| unr3a1 | the upgrade was supposed to upgrade around my current configuration | 00:03 |
| mikel | monkeyman: you may not have the proper video drivers | 00:03 |
| Lars_G | Is there any way in aptitude to make all "Auto" packages as manual? | 00:03 |
| cloud-ieee | Zamba? :( | 00:03 |
| csilk | ahh figured it out > gnome-panel-screenshot --delay ARBITARY_INTEGER | 00:03 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: I had alot of trouble initially too, although mine was just going into low graphics mode not just so at least I had a graphics screen | 00:03 |
| unr3a1 | I get nothing | 00:03 |
| mikel | xaris: intrepid is great it recodnised my hardware better than any distro thus far but if your running on a lappy i would check the bugs posts as ome lappys (including mine) seem to run very slow in intrepid | 00:04 |
| cloud-ieee | I did the restricted codecs bundle and everything | 00:04 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: have you tried to use an old xorg.conf file, there are usually a few old ones in your conf one of them might give you a start | 00:04 |
| unr3a1 | yea, still didn't work | 00:04 |
| mikel | so any ideas why intrepid runs so slow on the CQ50 series laptops and others? iv read this is a common problem. What makes these laptops so different that they dont run the same? | 00:04 |
| unr3a1 | I backed up my original xorg file | 00:04 |
| RickZilla | Amarok or Songbird? | 00:04 |
| unr3a1 | tried loading that, but still nothing | 00:04 |
| MonkeyMan | All previous versions of ubuntu have worked with my system. I think what messed everything up was the upgrade inself which stalled out on me. Ended up doing a command line install and saw it happen. I bet I have to do a clean install. That stinks | 00:04 |
| nickrud | shad0w0fsin, try running system->admin->software sources, and rebuilding it that way | 00:04 |
| unr3a1 | :-P | 00:04 |
| xaris | mikel ubuntu or opensuse? | 00:04 |
| unr3a1 | does anyone else have any ideas? | 00:05 |
| kholerabbi | mikel: do you recommend the slowest write speed..? | 00:05 |
| xaris | kholerabbi: always | 00:05 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: and your video driver is being loaded? can you see it with lsmod? | 00:05 |
| unr3a1 | my x-server is not loading. it says, that there are no screens detected and it says I cannot connect to the server | 00:05 |
| mikel | kholerabbi: i wrote at full speed but its up to you (slow CAN be safer) | 00:05 |
| mikel | xaris: ubuntu always | 00:05 |
| unr3a1 | jj_galvez: haven't checked that to be honest... | 00:05 |
| unr3a1 | let me check, brb | 00:05 |
| xaris | mikel the interface? | 00:05 |
| xaris | :P | 00:05 |
| mikel | xaris: never used suse tho but iv tried redhat | 00:05 |
| mikel | xaris: ubuntu's interface is insanly user friendly | 00:06 |
| shad0w0fsin | nickrud: thanks | 00:06 |
| mrono | who was i talking a few min ago about the desktop switcher settings | 00:06 |
| xaris | mikel i tried download 64 bit but when i finaly download 4.3 Gb and go to install it says that i dont have a 64bit computer W?oW | 00:06 |
| unr3a1 | jj_galvez: I am in command line. it scrolls way to fast for me to see the whole lsmod | 00:07 |
| mikel | 4.3Gb? xaris what distro? | 00:07 |
| xaris | opensuse | 00:07 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: try lsmod|less | 00:07 |
| mikel | xaris: no clue man im a ubuntu user and this is ubuntu's tech chat lol | 00:08 |
| unr3a1 | ok, brb | 00:08 |
| xaris | mikel i know:P | 00:08 |
| mikel | xaris: ubuntu= less than 700Mb and is great | 00:08 |
| mrono | is there a control panel like kcontrol from KDE for Gnome | 00:08 |
| mikel | xaris: also 32bit linux distro's nowdays are kindof pointless | 00:09 |
| === mrono is now known as Mrono | ||
| mikel | xaris: i meant to say 64bit | 00:09 |
| nickrud | mrono, I think gnome-control-center is what you're looking for | 00:09 |
| ConstantineXVI | mrono, gnome-control-center IIRC | 00:09 |
| xaris | mikwl are you sure?> | 00:09 |
| xaris | mikel :0 | 00:09 |
| mikel | xaris: bout what? | 00:09 |
| ConstantineXVI | Mrono, but it's really only a frontend for the system menu, so i don't see the point | 00:09 |
| xaris | 64bit | 00:10 |
| unr3a1 | jj_galvez: I see a "video" module, but nothing that has "ati" in it | 00:10 |
| RickZilla | Recommended desktop feed reader for ubuntu? I use Google Reader, but would like to check out something desktop-based | 00:10 |
| nickrud | ConstantineXVI, it's nice for the initial setup of a desktop, but you're right, after that it just gets in the way | 00:10 |
| sken_ | i have install songbird deb file apperas in the menu but doesn't open | 00:10 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | Need help installing SYNERGY, please PM me if you will help me. thx | 00:11 |
| ConstantineXVI | RickZilla, lifera and blam are okay, but greader blows them away IMHO | 00:11 |
| nickrud | RickZilla, liferea straw and blam are all ok | 00:11 |
| jj_galvez | unr3a1: check with lshw that will give you a list of your hardware, and should tell you the name of your driver too | 00:11 |
| mikel | xaris: most linux distro's (including intrepid) have the ability to install ia64-libs in order to run both 64bit code and use more than 4 gigs of ram the only difference beetween them is there is more compatability for 32bit OS's now and there are no programs which totaly utilise more than 4 gigs of ram | 00:11 |
| sken_ | i have installed songbird deb file apperas in the menu but doesn't open | 00:11 |
| ConstantineXVI | nickrud, the menus get in my way period, gnome-do FTW :) | 00:11 |
| Ronoa | hay algun español que entienda sobre tarjetas intel para ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| RickZilla | ConstantineXVI: Thanks, that's good to know...don't want to fix what isn't broken, but I thought I'd just see what's out there | 00:11 |
| unr3a1 | kk | 00:11 |
| nickrud | ew, gnome-do ;( | 00:11 |
| unr3a1 | let me do that, brb | 00:11 |
| ericrost | fyi, can't use errors=remount-ro with xfs | 00:12 |
| ericrost | in fstab | 00:12 |
| Mrono | gnome control panel is and isn't what i was looking for | 00:12 |

| Mrono | ok, how do i set the desktop switcher to change desktops when i move my mouse to the edge of the screen | 00:12 |
| Ronoa | ah ok, gracias | 00:12 |

| 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? | 00:16 |

| decherd1 | xaris redhat 5 had a sound check utility that was Linus pronouncing linux, might still be around | 00:17 |
| csilk | amews_aj, I'd of thought it was theme related | 00:17 |
| unr3a1 | does anyone else know what I Can do to get into x-server? | 00:18 |
| mikel | xaris: reason why the pronunciation is so important to you lol | 00:18 |
| amews_aj | csilk: But resetting does not help... | 00:18 |
| csilk | amews_aj, if it was a graphics problem then I'd of thought it would affect other things aswell | 00:18 |

| xaris | in 35 min i have to whait so sous ;p\ | 00:19 |
| mikel | un3a1: what drivers are you using and what video card and computor model? | 00:19 |
| n8tuser | favro-> you can install the ones you compiled in a different directory | 00:19 |
| vitamin-carrot_ | ConstantineXVI: sometimes the title part of the window grays out like it loses the theme but if you hover your mouse over the min, max or close buttons it comes back | 00:20 |
| mikel | unr3a1: what drivers are you using and what video card and computor model? | 00:20 |
| n8tuser | favro-> then have your directory preceed any of the regular path in $PATH | 00:20 |
| favro | n8tuser: they are installed in /usr/local and are the only ones showing in synaptic as having upgrade options | 00:20 |
| kholerabbi | tsrk: hmmmm I'm just something of a noob.. But I've noticed if windows is closed down while it is booting... or failed somehow than ubuntu might have a hard time with the ntfs partitions. But for me it has been fixed by going into windows and letting it do all it's own error checking, and then shutting it down correctly. | 00:21 |
| favro | k | 00:21 |
| kholerabbi | mikel: imgburn is giving me errors on W 10:14:53 Sector 42483 maps to File: \casper\filesystem.squashfs | 00:21 |
| unr3a1 | mikel: its a gateway 7422gx using an ati mobility radeon 9600/9700. I upgraded from 8.04 and was using linux compatible linux drivers. | 00:21 |
| mikel | kholerabbi: during burning? | 00:21 |
| n8tuser | favro so you'd get one installed via synaptic and your version | 00:21 |
| nickrud | favro, if you have them in usr/local, they should be found on the path before the system ones; otherwise you can use the equivs package to make a dummy | 00:21 |
| DaSkreech | Hallo | 00:21 |

| Mrono | but not quite, ccsm isn't what i was looking for | 00:23 |
| mikel | unr3a1: yes you should just be able to select it and hit enter and it's automated | 00:23 |
| n8tuser | kholerabbi-> also let your cdrom drive cool off for a few after burning, sometime i find mine erroring too after it got warmed burning | 00:23 |
| unr3a1 | alright... | 00:23 |
| unr3a1 | be back soon hopefully | 00:24 |
| kholerabbi | nickrud: well I'm just doing that know. n8tuser: before I try booting the disc? | 00:24 |

| jikuty | nope | 00:25 |
| ConstantineXVI | Mrono, using the cube? | 00:25 |

| mikel | Mrono: in the compiz settings manager there is an option under rotate desktop cube that enables rotate on mouse curser | 00:26 |
| nickrud | jikuty, good. Take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , that will probably tell you the errors (look at the end) | 00:26 |

| Administrator | Hi ,everyone | 00:35 |
| ConstantineXVI | mynyml, you'll have to wait for adobe and skype to support 64bit, as they're closed source | 00:35 |
| === Administrator is now known as Wendal_x | ||
| mynyml | ConstantineXVI: how's flash support? | 00:35 |
| Konstanty | DaSkreech, no, it an mp3, or and file with auidio, played louder in windows | 00:35 |
| ConstantineXVI | mynyml, just as bad | 00:35 |
| ConstantineXVI | mynyml, adobe == flash | 00:35 |

| DaSkreech | !find ntfs | 00:35 |
| scientesss | can i do a dpkg -l from 32-bit intrepid and then install that in 64-bit intrepid? | 00:36 |
| scientesss | will that work? | 00:36 |
| techqbert | Does ubuntu 8.10 come with gnome-do as standard? just curious. | 00:36 |
| DaSkreech | !search ntfs | 00:36 |
| ubottu | Found: addingfs, ntfs, nfts, fat32, ntfs-3g, filesystems, windowsdrives, mac, fuse, ntfs3g | 00:36 |

| hal14450 | does anyone have any experience w/ configuring apt-cacher I have an installfest i'd like to set up a server to cache packages for but so far no joy getting to to work properly | 00:36 |
| Mrono | does anyone know how to set it up so the mouse switches desktops without using ccsm | 00:36 |
| ConstantineXVI | techqbert, no, but it should IMHO | 00:36 |
| n8tuser | scientesss-> you can try, but i doubt it will work if the libraries is not available in a 64bit | 00:36 |
| ConstantineXVI | Mrono, CCSM -> Desktop Wall -> Edge Flipping -> Edge Flip Pointer | 00:36 |
| scientesss | n8tuser: but for standard program it is smart maybe? | 00:36 |
| ConstantineXVI | Mrono, that will do it | 00:36 |
| mynyml | ConstantineXVI: i thought it had gotten better on hardy? i thought maybe some hack was used on install or something.. | 00:36 |
| Mrono | a less graphic intensive way | 00:37 |
| techqbert | ConstantineXVI: Great piece of software.. I'd agree. UPenn student started it | 00:37 |
| Wendal_x | hall4450 , what you want ? | 00:37 |
| scientesss | also are the 32-bit libs for 64-bit standard? | 00:37 |
| n8tuser | scientesss-> you can try maybe it will work, i wish you luck | 00:37 |
| ConstantineXVI | techqbert, have you used it's OSX inspiration, quicksilver? | 00:37 |
| Timbo | should 8.10 be available in update manager? | 00:37 |
| Wendal_x | Not yet | 00:38 |
| thread_au1 | Timbo: only if you select "normal releases" | 00:38 |
| Timbo | ah ok | 00:38 |
| thread_au1 | it'll be there then | 00:38 |
| Mrono | Scientesss, there's no delay on the edge flipping, so as soon as my mouse hits the edge it flips | 00:38 |
| thread_au1 | it was there for me today | 00:38 |
| n8tuser | Timbo i would suggest a fresh install, lest you like to spend time troubleshooting | 00:38 |
| Mrono | really annoying when i'm trying to scroll through something | 00:38 |
| runpain2 | how do i download swf files from web page to my computer | 00:38 |
| thread_au1 | I did some googling, and I dunno if you guys have had a lot of it... but I just ran the upgrade from xubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 | 00:38 |
| Timbo | n8tuser: possibly a good idea | 00:38 |
| thread_au1 | and pretty much everything was uninstalled for some reason | 00:38 |
| Wendal_x | Oh, i had check it yesterday , but nothing show out | 00:38 |
| Timbo | i've been upgrading since 7.04 or 10 | 00:39 |
| mynyml | ConstantineXVI: some people report it works great: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=956893 | 00:39 |
| thread_au1 | is this documented or reported? | 00:39 |
| middlerun | my upgrade has gone haywire | 00:39 |

| runpain2 | !flash ripper | 00:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about flash ripper | 00:39 |
| Konstanty | i just installed ubuntu over windows, and the volume seems much lower. is there a way to fix this? | 00:39 |
| Timbo | nickrud: it actually works fairly well | 00:39 |
| thread_au1 | so I have pretty much no network drivers, or graphical desktop | 00:39 |
| unr3a1 | mikel: http://rafb.net/p/i8BsYN28.html | 00:39 |
| Timbo | much better than upgrading debian releases ever did anyway | 00:39 |
| runpain2 | !swf ripper | 00:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about swf ripper | 00:39 |
| unr3a1 | mikel: that is the error I am getting | 00:40 |
| thread_au1 | I'm ok with a command line, but new to ubuntu, what shoudl I be doing to get the show on the road? | 00:40 |
| runpain2 | anybody know how to download swf from web | 00:40 |

| DIFH-iceroot | runpain2: firefox has a plugin for that (video-helper imo) | 00:41 |
| nickrud | Timbo, I've had mixed results over the years; now I just !clone and reinstall with a separate home. It's been reliable | 00:41 |
| middlerun | i just upgraded and now when i boot i see nothing but the yellow/brown background. the only way to make anything show up seems to be to open a terminal with a shortcut key and use that to open nautilus, which makes the desktop icons appear but the menu bar and taskbar are still missing. anyone know what's going on? | 00:41 |

| Timbo | !clone | 00:42 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:42 |

| blip- | hi all, there is some code that i compile on an ubuntu 8.04 server i ssh into...during compiling it prints a line saying "Looking for libcgal -> found" .... now when i try to compile the same code on my ubuntu 8.04 machine this step fails to find libcgal... i did a "dpkg --get-selections | grep libcgal" and the server only has 2 packages "libcgal2" and "libcgal-dev".... i have those too but i can't compile and i'm on the exact same distro and | 01:05 |
| blip- | version. any ideas what could be happening ? Thanks | 01:05 |

I've installed the python-clearsilver "wrapper", but according to it clearsilver is not yet installed, and I couldn't find any packages that would install it. Could someone help me how to do it?

| Azhi_Dahaka | the Alternate CD is SUPPOSED to work for offline installs | 01:08 |
| blip- | dt84: sorry not sure what this task section you mention is. the command to turn off the machine from the console is poweroff... so if you write it in a script and run the script with sudo persmissions it sould shutdown | 01:08 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | why on earth would it want to download the latest Xsane or Abiword... I don't even have installed that crap and that's supposed to be on the disk image | 01:09 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> maybe it is listed on the pre-seed, | 01:09 |
| === Life is now known as Jesus | ||
| dt84 | jrib: system -> preferences -> scheduled tasks, after installing gnome-schedule | 01:10 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | maybe.. but that doesn't exclude the fact that basic crap like that should come on the alternate cd | 01:10 |
| scientesss | that doesnt tell me how to look them up | 01:10 |
| blip- | jrib: hmm interesting, i checked the server and it has a lib directory with a bunch of libCGAL.a and other libCGAL so files.... i don't have those on my machine.... how exactly did the server get those if i've installed all mentions of libcgal in synaptic... could it be someone manually put them there ? | 01:10 |
| scientesss | !uuid is needs method of looking up uuid of drives | 01:10 |
| think_linux | how can i connect to a wireless ssid on terminal? | 01:10 |
| blip- | jrib: could it be i need to restart the machine since i installed this libcgal ? | 01:10 |
| jrib | blip-: anything in /usr/local/ was not done by APT | 01:11 |

| tchwang | _2: I was upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10... | 01:29 |
| jikuty | nope.. i dont think so | 01:29 |
| bamboo | what version of ubuntu u got? | 01:29 |
| tchwang | after upgrade | 01:29 |
| ConstantineXVI | rodolfo, basically, it's a huge super-codec | 01:29 |
| JFo | mercutio22, thanks | 01:29 |
| BlooBay1 | hmm, curious, why doesn't the package manager show such things as apache, etc..??? | 01:29 |
| J-_ | JFo: http://pastebin.com/m26eda011 | 01:29 |
| jikuty | 8.10 | 01:29 |
| geodome | hihi | 01:29 |
| dmsuperman | !u | bamboo | 01:29 |
| ubottu | bamboo: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 01:29 |
| tchwang | it goes straight into command prompt atger reboot... | 01:29 |
| _2 | tchwang ok so it is installed. when you try to boot what happens ? | 01:29 |
| dmsuperman | BlooBay1: Look in synaptic | 01:29 |
| bamboo | haha | 01:29 |
| comicinker1 | nite_johnboy: no, that doesn't necessarily mean you have already install it. you just have some packages you can install. the package name is the very left name from the output. you can also use adept or synaptic for that task | 01:29 |
| nickrud_ | schlort, I ended up pruning all the network entries in gconf and starting from scratch, that worked | 01:29 |
| Ratchet-- | hello | 01:29 |
| russianzilla | Is there any way to check if all the packages for Intrepid were upgraded? | 01:29 |
| geodome | is there a way to directly update ububtu 8.04 to 8.10 without downloading the entire CD? | 01:29 |
| Lunar_Lamp | tchwang: is it a recovery console or a normal command prompt? If the latter, run "xfix" | 01:29 |
| dmsuperman | BlooBay1: Or just install from cli. apache2, php5, mysql-server-5.0, etc. | 01:29 |
| _2 | tchwang ok is it normal bash or a busybox shell ? | 01:30 |
| Flannel | BlooBay1: add/remove only shows a small portion of "applications", synaptic shows all packages. And it'd be apache2, yes. | 01:30 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> when you boot the alternate cd, do you press escape key? | 01:30 |
| BlooBay1 | k. Just looking into ubuntu recently.... will check that out. | 01:30 |
| ConstantineXVI | geodome, update manager, like usual | 01:30 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | geodome | 01:30 |
| ubottu | geodome: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 01:30 |
| tchwang | _2. it goes into command prompt...gnome wont start | 01:30 |
| schlort | nickrud_: thanks, i'll give it a shot | 01:30 |
| JFo | this in a laptop J-_ ? | 01:30 |
| rodolfo | So you guys mean once I got this FFmpeg installed here, I won't need to search for any other one else | 01:30 |
| BlooBay1 | oh, ok. | 01:30 |
| _2 | tchwang ok is it normal bash or a busybox shell ? | 01:30 |
| J-_ | JFo: Yes. | 01:30 |
| JFo | ok, what brand and model? | 01:30 |
| ConstantineXVI | rodolfo, for most stuff, yes | 01:30 |
| dmsuperman | rodolfo: if you get ffmpeg and gstreamer installed you should be golden | 01:30 |
| tchwang | _2: ok to private you? | 01:30 |
| J-_ | JFo: Lenovo R61e | 01:30 |
| ConstantineXVI | rodolfo, it's not everything, but it's a lot of things | 01:30 |
| bamboo | language is to communicate. if u dont understand, thats one thing. if u just dont like how it looks, thats ur problem. i use abbreviations for efficeincy and speed | 01:30 |
| Ratchet-- | How do I get my terminal to say name@home instead of name@cen34902 | 01:30 |
| _2 | tchwang yeah | 01:31 |
| Tom_Davis | Ratchet--change your hostname | 01:31 |
| russianzilla | Would anyone know if advanced desktop effects always require restricted drivers? | 01:31 |
| Ratchet-- | how? | 01:31 |
| ConstantineXVI | Ratchet--, do you mean you want to change your hostname from cen34092 to home? | 01:31 |
| Tom_Davis | Ratchet--umm sudo hostname home | 01:31 |
| Musashimaru | hi all. | 01:31 |
| russianzilla | I'm not getting an option to install them although I used to have one for my graphics card. | 01:31 |
| rodolfo | OK thank you guys! | 01:31 |
| JFo | J-_, ok, looks like your hardware isn't included in this bug. I'll add it | 01:31 |
| jrib | russianzilla: nope, I have an intel card it works fine on | 01:31 |
| kushalsejwal | when I open system monitor to see the current running processes, I always see Nautilus there, even if I am not using it? | 01:31 |
| ConstantineXVI | russianzilla, depends on your 3D card | 01:31 |
| dmsuperman | bamboo: But it's not your choice. This is a channel that doesn't put up with butchering the language | 01:31 |
| n8tuser | bamboo-> you are not doing anyone here a favor doing so | 01:31 |
| snova | russianzilla: not always. it depends on the video card | 01:31 |
| russianzilla | Hmm. | 01:31 |
| dmsuperman | russianzilla: I don't know of a case where it wouldn't | 01:31 |
| J-_ | JFo: Sounds good. :) | 01:31 |
| russianzilla | I'm now incapable of enabling desktop effects, so I was wondering. | 01:31 |
| _2 | Wendal_x why are you checking versions ? that's kinda rude in a channel this size. | 01:32 |
| Musashimaru | Anybody has some information on how to include schema with the new slapd config system available in intrepid? | 01:32 |
| snova | Ratchet--: trying to change the bash prompt? | 01:32 |
| HRshovinstuff | I am trying to figure out how to highlight text within the Terminal. When I hold shift and press my left or right arrow keys I am getting D's and C's.... Am I missing something?? | 01:32 |
| Ratchet-- | ConstantineXVI: When I first got it the terminal did the commands in joshua@home, now it's joshua@cen34902 | 01:32 |
| dmsuperman | I'm having an issue with video. I installed intrepid, then I installed nvidia-glx-177. My Xorg.0.log says "Fatal error, no screens found" | 01:32 |
| dmsuperman | But I have tried both default xorg.conf and nvidia-xconfig one, both have a screen defined | 01:32 |
| snova | HRshovinstuff: text editing shortcuts don't always work in a terminal. | 01:32 |
| jikuty | dmsuperman: same problem i'm experiencing | 01:32 |
| === nickrud_ is now known as nickrud | ||
| HRshovinstuff | ok well is there a shortcut to highlight text .........? | 01:32 |
| dmsuperman | jikuty: any clues at all? | 01:32 |
| jikuty | dmsuperman: not really, i'm kind of new to this .. just checked the log a little while ago | 01:32 |
| Ratchet-- | snova: When I first got it the terminal did the commands in joshua@home, now it's joshua@cen34902 | 01:33 |
| ConstantineXVI | Ratchet--, okay, i knew in 8.04 you went to system -> admin -> network to change it, but network's not there in intrepid/8.10 | 01:33 |
| chad1 | dmsuperman: there is serious issues with nvidia and 8.10 whether they are admitting it or not, there are a lot of problems | 01:33 |
| dmsuperman | jikuty: It's kind of frustrating. Luckily, I only installed it as a test and didn't upgrade yet, but it's still a pain not to even be able to boot -_- | 01:33 |
| snova | Ratchet--: oh, well that would be the hostname :) | 01:33 |
| jikuty | dmsuperman: well, i tested the lived.. it worked perfectly. | 01:33 |
| Ratchet-- | snova: how to change? | 01:33 |
| mercutio22 | JFo, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/291889 | 01:33 |
| jikuty | when i actually ran the network update - it failed miserably | 01:33 |
| dmsuperman | chad1: There have always been issues with nvidia, but I'm using older cards. That usually works better, but here it's not at all -_- | 01:33 |
| snova | Ratchet--: try "sudo hostname home" | 01:33 |
| ConstantineXVI | Ratchet--, are you on intrepid? | 01:33 |
| dmsuperman | jikuty: Yeah, it's once you get the video driver installed it seems to stop | 01:33 |
| JFo | thanks mer | 01:34 |
| JFo | mercutio22, | 01:34 |
| jikuty | dmsuperman: hmm.. that's too bad.. do you think a fresh 8.10 install will work? | 01:34 |
| JFo | <-tab complete fail | 01:34 |
| dmsuperman | jikuty: No, that's what I'm using. Fresh install | 01:34 |
| jikuty | d'oh | 01:34 |
| dmsuperman | JFo: It happens to the best of us :P | 01:34 |
| KyleS-home | must say, I like 8.10 :) | 01:34 |
| InvisiblePinkUni | ubottu: tell me about debtorrent | 01:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about debtorrent | 01:34 |
| kushalsejwal | when I open system monitor to see the current running processes, I always see Nautilus there, even if I am not using it? why is it so? | 01:34 |
| dmsuperman | I'd like it if X would start :S | 01:34 |
| KyleS-home | the darkroom took a bit to get used to, but I like it | 01:34 |
| KyleS-home | goes great with the new wallpaper | 01:34 |
| nickrud | kushalsejwal, it's what's drawing the desktop | 01:35 |
| dmsuperman | kushalsejwal: nautilus does your desktop | 01:35 |
| mercutio22 | JFo> no pb | 01:35 |
| Crewsr3 | I'm trying to use unetbootin to install ubuntu 8.10. When I boot from the usb I get the error "could not find kernel image: linux" Google was not able to help me out, can someone here help? | 01:35 |
| J-_ | JFo: Is there anything else you want me to check out to be more specific about the bugs? And, will bug fixes be implemented in Intrepid? | 01:35 |
| InvisiblePinkUni | Anyone knows how debtorrent supposed to work? I am trying to get it to work, but unable to. | 01:35 |
| dmsuperman | kushalsejwal: The icons on the desktop are done from nautilus | 01:35 |
| snova | InvisiblePinkUni: it works as a proxy. you tweak sources.list to fetch everything through a server running on your computer, which fetches packages via bittorent. not sure how, though. | 01:35 |
| kushalsejwal | dmsuperman: nickrud: Thanks, I got it :) | 01:35 |
| snova | InvisiblePinkUni: check /usr/share/doc/debtorrent | 01:35 |
| dmsuperman | torrentfreak had an article about how to set it up | 01:35 |
| JFo | J-_, I can't think of anything, I included the information from the pastebin to the bug | 01:35 |
| _2 | J-_ yes bug fixes go into "updates" | 01:35 |
| InvisiblePinkUni | snova: Yeah true, I read about it and installed it. But when I upgrade, I still use http. | 01:36 |
| Sawyer- | any idea what could cause a problem where I'm unable to start any kind of application? | 01:36 |
| InvisiblePinkUni | snova: Oh ok, I have to change the source list manually. | 01:36 |
| InvisiblePinkUni | snova: Thanks :-) | 01:36 |
| J-_ | JFo: Cool, thanks a lot. | 01:36 |
| JFo | np | 01:36 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> you are getting any kind of errors? | 01:36 |
| plouffe | I upgraded to intrepid, but it got stuck when it was almost finished, now when I start update manager it tells me to update 798 packages and when I do it says to partially upgrade, and when I try that it tells me "cannot upgrade from intrepid to hardy". WTF is that? | 01:36 |
| JFo | J-_, bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/120834 | 01:36 |
| Sawyer- | after I applied some patches everything seems to have ceased to work | 01:36 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser I can't even open the system log | 01:37 |
| Flannel | plouffe: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:37 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> how are you opening the system log? | 01:37 |
| Crewsr3 | I'm trying to use unetbootin to install ubuntu 8.10. When I boot from the usb I get the error "could not find kernel image: linux" Google was not able to help me out, can someone here help? | 01:37 |
| plouffe | Thanks Flannel | 01:37 |
| profanephobia | is there a psuedo package that makes installing kde simple in vanilla ubuntu? | 01:37 |
| HRshovinstuff | is there seriuosly no one here that can tell me how to highlight text in terminal with the keyboard?? /wrists | 01:37 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser through gnome | 01:37 |
| Flannel | profanephobia: sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop | 01:37 |
| J-_ | _2: Makes sense. :) Though, I was worried I wouldn't see the updates in Intrepid. I mean, I may not either. But at least people have reported, and they're noticed so they get triaged and fixed. | 01:37 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> if you are in a console you can vi a file? | 01:38 |
| profanephobia | Flannel, thanks | 01:38 |
| snova | HRshovinstuff: i think you'd be interested in readline | 01:38 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser yes I can access it through a console | 01:38 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> id try rebooting | 01:38 |
| russianzilla | Is there some sort of log file for the Advanced Desktop Effects dialog? I can't enable effects to save my life. | 01:38 |
| bamboo | Dear JFo: I inquire you, please refrain from using such vulgarities as "np". Only the unciviized use such blasphemous distortion of proper English. Sincerely, bamboo | 01:38 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | how can i purge the list of versions of apt-get? | 01:40 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> on a xterm type gnome and press tab, pick any of those on the list and see if you can run them | 01:40 |
| bamboo | hey im just trying to maintain the high standards of channel | 01:40 |
| bamboo | just like ubottu | 01:40 |
| JFo | bamboo, heh, sorry about that :) | 01:40 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I want it to be completely ignorant and to just read the list that cames with the Alternate CD | 01:40 |
| snova | JFo: he left... | 01:40 |
| JFo | ah well | 01:40 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser I get a warning "cannot open display: :0.0" | 01:41 |
| lay | Friends, after all troubles regarding bug #263555 which corrupted some Intel NIC hardware with alpha code, would you please confirm if it is really safe to install just-released 8.10. I know the question is not pertinent, but I am about to assume a responsibility over a bunch of laptops right now.... | 01:41 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> when you boot the alternate cd, try to press escape key and then type live only-ubiquity | 01:41 |
| plouffe | Flannel after "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", it tells me to download 2GB of upgrades. What is this for? | 01:41 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> which gnome-* did you run? | 01:41 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | i don't want to boot | 01:42 |
| Flannel | plouffe: Finishing your upgrade. No idea why it's 2GB though. | 01:42 |
| sKyZ | Anyone know how I can connect to a VPN on Hardy 64bit? | 01:42 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | i'm using update-manager | 01:42 |
| Atomic_UE | what's the AT SPI Registry Wrapper? | 01:42 |
| Nikke | !puregnome | 01:42 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » | 01:42 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser I ran a bunch, they all give a similar error, unable to open a display | 01:42 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I'm not going to burn waste a CD on an image that seems to not do what it is supposed to | 01:43 |
| JFo | lay, I am using Intel NIC's and I have not had trouble. | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | If i see a machine on my network as in --> smb://fileserver/ and i want to discover its ip# so i can ssh to it... is there a easy way todo that? nmaping the whole lan and guessing.. is what ive been doing :) | 01:43 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I just need to restore the virginity of apt-get | 01:43 |
| Nikke | http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce | 01:43 |
| Nikke | thats not for intrepid | 01:43 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser I think that gave me some clues to what is going on | 01:43 |
| secret901 | Visual effects stopped working for me after I upgraded to 8.10 even though it's worked in 8.04 | 01:43 |
| sKyZ | Anyone know how I can connect to a VPN on Hardy 64bit? -- I've already installed network-manager-pptp -- When I try to connect it says that it was unable to connect. | 01:43 |
| JFo | secret901, you mean Compiz? | 01:44 |
| JFo | or if not which effects? | 01:44 |
| secret901 | JFo: I think so, it comes default with 8.10 right? | 01:44 |
| JFo | no, I had to add it | 01:44 |
| metilfenidato | how can i solve this: unable to make backup link of `./usr/sbin/sshd' before installing new version: Operation not permitted | 01:44 |
| secret901 | JFo: yeah, it's compiz. It's worked in 8.04 | 01:44 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> i thought you said you ahve the alternatecd ? | 01:44 |
| JFo | secret901, you should be able to get it in the Add/Remove under Applications. | 01:45 |
| _2 | metilfenidato is the dot really in "./usr/sbin/sshd" ? | 01:45 |
| plouffe | Flannel: this is my output from sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/65484/ Does this look right? | 01:45 |
| dasutin | Is it possible to install 8.10 on a embedded pc that has a SSD hard drive but no cd-rom drive and ethernet? | 01:45 |
| JFo | I'm pretty sure I had to add it | 01:45 |
| Flannel | !install | dasutin | 01:45 |
| ubottu | dasutin: 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 | 01:45 |
| secret901 | JFo: it's there, but when I try to enable it, it just thinks that my card can't handle it | 01:45 |
| metilfenidato | dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-client_1%3a5.1p1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): unable to make backup link of `./usr/bin/ssh' before installing new version: Operation not permitted | 01:45 |
| metilfenidato | dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) | 01:46 |
| lay | JFo, I understand that it's an alpha thing, and should not be a concern about 8.10 release... however as far I have googled, I haven't found a definitive affirmation that we are safe ... | 01:46 |
| Flannel | dasutin: Theres a bunch of methods, that page (first link) goes through a bunch of them | 01:46 |
| metilfenidato | _2: appear do not | 01:46 |
| JFo | secret901, what card | 01:46 |
| JFo | lay, I understand | 01:46 |
| threexk | hello. Will my system become messy if I upgrade from 8.04->8.10 rather than doing a reformat and 8.10 install? | 01:46 |
| kanhiya78 | can anybody helpme | 01:46 |
| secret901 | JFo: it's an intel card | 01:46 |
| Flannel | threexk: No | 01:46 |
| erpo | threexk: It can be. I always recommend a reformat. | 01:46 |
| JFo | lay, which one? | 01:46 |
| n8tuser | dasutin-> why ubuntu on an embedded pc? you tried uclinux? | 01:46 |
| JFo | lay, disregard | 01:46 |
| JFo | secret901, which intel card? | 01:47 |
| Flannel | plouffe: well, this looks interesting at any rate. Mind pastebinning /etc/apt/sources.list (and any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/) as well as the output of sudo apt-get update? | 01:47 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser it has obviously something to do with the X display settings | 01:47 |
| secret901 | JFo: Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller | 01:47 |
| threexk | Flannel, erpo: conflicting answers :) | 01:47 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> correct | 01:47 |
| JFo | secret901, could have something to do with your resolution. what is that set at? | 01:47 |
| secret901 | JFo: I'm sure it's not because of a non-supported driver. This is a Dell Ubuntu laptop and it works fine if I use the live CD | 01:47 |
| Flannel | threexk: Did you add any third party repositories (besides winehq or medibuntu)? (automatix, random other ones, etc?) | 01:47 |
| PMantis | I just built a new computer, quad core 2.3GHz, 4 GB RAM. Booting from 8.04 or 8.10... using 32 or 64 bit, it gives me a menu from CD, Ichoose, it loads the kernel, the I see: [ 12.3456789] Not responding.... then it repeats 7 seconds later, then reboots, starts all over. Ideas? | 01:48 |
| JFo | hmm, then there must be something else afoot here | 01:48 |
| secret901 | JFo: right now it's 1280x800 | 01:48 |
| Malgr2 | The wireless drivers are present in Intrepid Ibex, but there is no Network Manager. As in, "Configure Network" -> "There is no Network Configuration Tool". Is this a known problem in Ibex? | 01:48 |
| JFo | secret901, let me look around for a bit | 01:48 |
| === lay is now known as layy | ||
| Azhi_Dahaka | any clues on how to do that? | 01:48 |
| threexk | Flannel: nah. I think I only installed 1 package that wasn't on an official repository | 01:48 |
| Malgr2 | ALSA is also non-responsive. | 01:48 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | n8tuser: I have the ISO | 01:48 |
| n8tuser | Malgr2-> you can always manually use the cli, configure it in /etc/network/interfaces | 01:48 |
| threexk | Flannel: for an MP3 codec | 01:48 |
| Flannel | threexk: And you did it via a package? not compiling from source? | 01:49 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I mounted it and followed every step on the freaking guide | 01:49 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> did you expand it? | 01:49 |
| threexk | Flannel: can't remember.. it was from this company that offers them for free, legally | 01:49 |
| threexk | Flannel: Fluendo | 01:49 |
| Flannel | threexk: Likely then. Yeah, you upgrading wont get messy. It'll be almost the same as you reinstalling fresh (without the hassle) | 01:49 |
| Flannel | threexk: non-third party random repos is a good thing, by the way ;) | 01:50 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser I rebooted the system, applications work normally now, but after when I try to resume a NX connection, the problem reappears | 01:50 |
| Atomic_UE | what's the AT SPI Registry Wrapper? | 01:50 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | It's mounted and running | 01:50 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | it's just stubborn | 01:50 |
| threexk | Flannel: I try to stick with a supported configuration as much as possible! thanks | 01:50 |

| riz0n | I have a problem with Ubuntu and gdm.. I have XDMCP enabled and set up with vnc4server to work as desktop :1 ... whenever my desktop is rebooted I get an error regarding screen resolution, asks me if i want to remain in low graphics mode (which i choose yes) but once I continue my system locks up... I can reboot and it will get to a login prompt but if I login and then log back out then the system locks up again.. where do i need to look | 01:50 |
| === christophersen__ is now known as christophersen | ||
| Azhi_Dahaka | yes | 01:51 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Hardy | 01:51 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> do you have debootstrap? we can try your alternatec iso, not sure if it will work, i know it works with livecd iso.. | 01:52 |
| JFo | secret901, are you using an attached monitor? | 01:52 |
| riz0n | Everything with the VNC :1 session seems to work fine, I can log in and log out all day with it and it works fine. | 01:52 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> i dont know how to get around that resuming NX session | 01:52 |
| Malgr2 | I only have a loopback connection. | 01:52 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | No, I don't have it | 01:53 |
| plouffe | Flannel: this is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/65487/ (and this the previous http://paste.ubuntu.com/65484/) | 01:53 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Anyone knows how can I flush the current list of versions of apt-get? | 01:53 |
| tchwang | Don't be like me [ BACKUP your files before you upgrade to 8.10 ]. Changes are, you may never get your ubuntu to boot up after upgrade..... | 01:53 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser I've reinstalled the whole NX product but the same problem reappears | 01:53 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> install it then, sudo apt-get install debootstrap | 01:53 |
| gyroscope | hi guys, can i use side button of my mouse in kde? (i want to use them with konqueror) | 01:53 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I want to check if MAYBE flushing it and making it just get the crap from the cd would work | 01:53 |
| secret901 | JFo: no, I'm using a laptop. | 01:53 |
| jdnewmil | my wife's 8.04 won't accept her password when the screensaver prompts for it... but she can "switch users" and that works... plain US keyboard layout... ideas? | 01:54 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> do you want to try my suggestion or not? | 01:54 |
| secret901 | JFo: this new version allows me to also output to TV if I connect the S-video port | 01:54 |
| _2 | tchwang ok good luck with it. i'm out for a while. | 01:54 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | can't we do both? | 01:54 |
| Flannel | plouffe: Odd. Well, the only thingsthat look out of place in the dist-upgrade are the things being held back. Lets... try this: `apt-cache policy openmovieeditor ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal` go ahead and pastebin that and we'll hopefully know whats going on (your sources.list and update look fine) | 01:54 |
| HRshovinstuff | readline is teh l@me | 01:54 |
| dug_ | tchwang: yeah if you use partimage you can get an exact snapshot of your partition before upgrading | 01:54 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | anyway, debootstrap is not on the list of packages | 01:54 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> i dont think so, because you have to chroot and such..but initially perhaps its possible | 01:55 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser it even renders everything unusable on the local user interface | 01:55 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> on hardy? sudo apt-get install debootstrap and it cannot find it? | 01:55 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> am not familiar or forgotten how NX works.. | 01:56 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | yep | 01:56 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | cannot find it | 01:56 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser ok, thanks for the tips anyway | 01:56 |
| Hilikus_ | hey guys, i have a web server running on ubuntu server, when i'm in my laptop in the lan i connect to it using its hostname, but when i'm outside of the lan i connect to it using its external hostname (dynip). my problem is that i cant bookmark anything because if i do it locally then it wont work enternally and viceversa | 01:56 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | Couldn't find package debootstrap | 01:56 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> sorry not much help today | 01:56 |
| riz0n | is there a good web-based management tool (like cpanel) that i can install on ubuntu to manage the apache server, users, etc. etc? | 01:56 |
| Hilikus_ | any ideas how to fix this? | 01:56 |
| terrestre | someone having problems with speedtouch 330 usb internet conection? using intrepid | 01:57 |

| === Hilikus_ is now known as Hilikus | ||
| Thedjatclubrock | Any clue why an Ubuntu LiveCD would have a gnome-panel reset when I open an app? | 01:57 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> and you are running hardy? thats really odd.. apt-cache search debootstrap | 01:57 |
| riz0n | Hilikus_: are you using virtual aliases? | 01:57 |
| sysop_ | Hello | 01:57 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | nothing | 01:57 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | yes, I installed hardy one month ago | 01:58 |
| Hilikus | riz0n no | 01:58 |
| Hilikus | riz0n thats when you have a1.hostname.com a2.hostname.com etc right? | 01:58 |
| Flannel | plouffe: Odd. openmovieeditor should be held back, but not the other two. At any rate, it wont eb the end of theworld if they are. Lets go ahead with the dist-upgrade, and see where we're at at the end of it. We may hvae to manually fiddle with one of those metapackages, but they're just metapackages. | 01:59 |
| n8tuser | Azhi_Dahaka-> you repository list may not be looking at the correct urls..can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:59 |
| Malgr2 | n8tuser: I only have a loopback connection. | 01:59 |
| n8tuser | in pastebin off course | 01:59 |
| Sawyer- | basically this is exactly the same as my problem http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2008-October/007462.html | 01:59 |
| n8tuser | Malgr2-> why only that? | 01:59 |
| plouffe | Flannel what's a metapackage? | 01:59 |
| blak | Everytime I use gnome network manager and I use an encrypted wireless network it asks for a keychain password... i don't know where or h ow to set this up... If i don't use this i have to put in the wifi key every time i restart the computer. What is going on with this after 8.10 update? | 02:00 |
| plouffe | Flannel: so I have to download the 2GB? | 02:00 |
| Flannel | plouffe: It depends on other packages (to make installation easier) but doesn't provide anything itself. | 02:00 |
| Tom_Davis | plouffe: one package name that grabs a bunch of other packages | 02:00 |
| Flannel | plouffe: I suppose so. | 02:00 |
| Tom_Davis | plouffe: such as ubuntu-desktop | 02:00 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> you are using solaris or ubuntu? | 02:00 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser ubuntu | 02:00 |
| plouffe | Thanks Flannel Tom_Davis | 02:01 |
| NightDragon | help! | 02:01 |
| Malgr2 | n8tuser: I just updated my laptop from Hardy to Intrepid, and I had a previous wireless connection set up for my home, and now there's no network managers. It was a fine connection before hand, well, the router can go diaf, but that's beside the point. | 02:01 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> i cant remember my usage of NX..sorry | 02:01 |
| NightDragon | major major problems with my system after i upgraded my ubuntu \ | 02:01 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser all I'm saying, is that everything worked just like it should, until I ran some updates and suddenly weird problems emerge | 02:01 |
| CardiacKid | hello | 02:02 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> if you dont use NX, everything is okay? | 02:02 |
| _2 | some common "meta-packages" are ubuntu-desktop gnome kubuntu-desktop kde xubuntu-desktop ubuntu-base ubuntu-minimal ... the list is long. | 02:02 |
| JFo | secret901, ok | 02:02 |
| CardiacKid | I'm using this tutorial to move my /home directory | 02:02 |

| _2 | bdog you don't "need" to. it's a question of "want" not "need" | 02:03 |
| temppy | how do I turn off the keyring thing? It keeps asking me to enter my password in order to log onto my wifi network, and I would rather it just log on | 02:03 |

| n8tuser | Malgr2-> what shows up in your /etc/network/interfaces file? can you paste that in pastebin please? | 02:03 |
| meoblast001 | how do i set up a user server where i create users on a server and remote login from any system on my network? | 02:04 |
| _2 | bdog lsb_release -a | 02:04 |
| Flannel | CardiacKid: The second one explains how to do that | 02:04 |
| Malgra | Sure, it's gonna' be a minute though, I've got to transfer it over a computer. | 02:04 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | ok, i'm gonna try this: I have renamed source.list and i'm gonna give it a shot with the Alternate CD | 02:04 |
| Tom_Davis | meoblast001: probably create users on the ubuntu box and ssh | 02:04 |
| meoblast001 | my school has a similar system set up with Windows users with Windows machines and I want to know how to do the equivilant with Ubuntu | 02:04 |
| \kG | anyone know if the vpn issue for 64bit has been resolved? | 02:04 |
| meoblast001 | Tom_Davis: with an X session though | 02:04 |
| n8tuser | Malgra-> no sweat..put my nick in front so i dont miss your responses | 02:04 |

| bdog | Codename:hardy | 02:04 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser yes obviously it seems that way | 02:05 |
| canen_ | hello, have a quick question. is there any particular reason why ubuntu build all terminals without 256 support? | 02:05 |
| bdog | is I need to update? | 02:05 |
| _2 | bdog both dapper 6.6 and hardy 8.4 are LTS long term support releases. | 02:05 |
| bazhang | bdog, only if you wish to. | 02:05 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> purge NX and then re-install it | 02:05 |
| Flannel | bdog: You can upgrade if you like. Butyou're on a LTS, so you're supported for 3 years if youd prefer to upgrade every 3 years instead of 6 months. | 02:05 |
| user_ | Well this is not too bad. Running intrepid as virtual machine. | 02:05 |
| theGeekPirate | sup all | 02:05 |

| netyire | hi all! just upgraded to ibex! nice gui, but the network manager disappeared :-( any ideas how to get it back? | 02:06 |
| n8tuser | canen_-> 256 which? | 02:06 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser like I mentioned earlier, I have tried that and the same issue still appears | 02:06 |
| plouffe | Flannel: the dist-upgrade failed http://paste.ubuntu.com/65492/ | 02:06 |
| NightDragon | help help help pleas | 02:06 |
| meoblast001 | Tom_Davis, any ideas? | 02:06 |
| CardiacKid | so I just add the line '/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2' to the fstab? | 02:06 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> dont forget, 8.10 is far too new, perhaps NX does not support 8.10 for now | 02:06 |
| Tom_Davis | meoblast001: using gui or text? | 02:06 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser I am not using 8.10 but 8.04 | 02:06 |
| Flannel | plouffe: Looks like some mirror problems (this may be due to overloaded servers surrounding the release). Try a different mirror. | 02:06 |
| user_ | I upgraded my old desktop to ibex and it trashed the upgrade. | 02:06 |
| Flannel | !mirror | plouffe | 02:06 |

| canen_ | n8tuser: colors | 02:06 |
| meoblast001 | Tom_Davis, i want to be able to login to a GUI gnome session | 02:07 |
| JFo | secret901, everything I am finding points to a possible driver bug, but I don't have much more detail than that. Still looking... | 02:07 |
| Flannel | plouffe: to do that, you switch the es.archive.ubuntu.com to the URL of your new mirror (in your sources.list) | 02:07 |
| meoblast001 | so i login on one machine to the server and im logged in with preferences and files from the server | 02:07 |
| n8tuser | Sawyer--> ows.. i really cant assist you with NX for now..my memory is zapped on that | 02:07 |
| Tom_Davis | meoblast001: from other ubuntu boxes? | 02:07 |
| meoblast001 | yes | 02:07 |
| n8tuser | canen_-> where are you looking at those settings? | 02:07 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser no worries, I figure it has something to do with the issue about the graphics drivers I struggled with earlier | 02:07 |
| meoblast001 | i want to basically use preferences,files, and usernames from one ubuntu box on another in X | 02:07 |
| meoblast001 | GNOME | 02:07 |
| * jaypur is away: ocupado no momento, aguarde... | 02:08 | |
| Tom_Davis | meoblast001: ok, I havent done this but you should be able to access the central x-server as if it was local | 02:08 |
| riz0n | is there a good web-based management tool (similar to cpanel) that i can install on ubuntu to manage the apache server, users, DNS, etc. etc? | 02:08 |
| * jaypur is back (gone 00:00:19) | 02:08 | |
| canen_ | n8tuser: i am not looking at any settings. | 02:08 |
| Tom_Davis | meoblast001: thus giving you the appearance of gnome but its not running locally | 02:08 |
| meoblast001 | Tom_Davis, can i do that if im not administrator on this current machine? im doing this because my computer is broken and i want to set something up universal so i can use other computers in the house | 02:08 |
| Sawyer- | n8tuser I figure I will have to purge the nvidia drivers and force to get it working on the native ones | 02:08 |
| temppy | !keyring | 02:09 |
| Tom_Davis | meoblast001: you will need root access for this project | 02:09 |

| meoblast001 | and i guess im screwed... i'll just use this account ont his computer | 02:09 |
| canen_ | n8tuser: traditionally all most terminals (rxvt) are built without 256 support. you usually have to do a custom build to get it working | 02:09 |
| canen_ | n8tuser: i was wondering about the reason behind it | 02:10 |
| Tom_Davis | meoblast001: not so much screwed as I dont have a good answer for you, perhaps someone else can help, sorry | 02:10 |
| Mrono | Where do i config my touch pad, the mouse settings don't do enough | 02:10 |

| NightDragon | it wont load the "raedon" driver | 02:20 |
| Flannel | MetalHeadDead: Your "sudo password" is your regular user password. | 02:20 |
| Dr_willis | MetalHeadDead thats your initial users password. you can use the 'passwd' command to change it | 02:20 |

| * afallenhope is now known as TetrisBlock | 02:20 | |
| ubottu | MetalHeadDead: 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 | 02:20 |
| Flannel | MetalHeadDead: no, the root account is locked | 02:20 |

| n8tuser | Malgra-> if you are using dhcp for it, it would a simple line of iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 02:21 |
| MetalHeadDead | hmm, so if someone guesses my everyday pass, they can do whatever they want then | 02:21 |
| MetalHeadDead | that sucks | 02:21 |
| Flannel | MetalHeadDead: Same as if they guess your root password. How is it any different? | 02:21 |

| MetalHeadDead | since i would use it less often | 02:22 |
| bill | i got a video playback problem!!! anybody??? | 02:22 |
| NightDragon | help! i cant get my computer to start correctly! | 02:22 |
| c00p | NightDragon: u need to give mroe info that than ... lol - do u get to a grub screen ? | 02:22 |
| Flannel | MetalHeadDead: well, you could always just make it so your everyday user doesn't have sudo access. | 02:22 |
| masque7 | would anyone mind if i compared my smb.conf file to theirs? | 02:22 |
| NightDragon | coop: i have logs for you if you are interested: | 02:22 |
| NightDragon | :) | 02:23 |
| secret901 | JFo: any luck? | 02:23 |
| blak | n8tuser: What is the point of this new keychain thing and using network manager in gnome then? You are basically suggesting to not even use them? | 02:23 |
| MetalHeadDead | Flannel: good idea thanks | 02:23 |
| c00p | logs from what ? | 02:23 |
| bill | every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) | 02:23 |
| c00p | ubuntu syslog ? | 02:23 |
| NightDragon | from the failed startup | 02:23 |
| Flannel | MetalHeadDead: Users in the "admin" group have access to sudo by default, so create a new user without putting them in the admin group. | 02:23 |
| NightDragon | 0.log, xorg.0.log, xorg.conf | 02:23 |
| JFo | secret901, not yet, everything has been coming to a dead end | 02:23 |
| h4x0r | is somebody else having problems with network between ubuntu and windows? | 02:23 |
| === smg_soul is now known as PANGERAN_KESIANG | ||
| c00p | NightDragon: is it ur X that is just screwing up ? | 02:24 |
| dmitriyv | so any input on a NIC? | 02:24 |
| bill | <h4x0r> we all had.!!!!! | 02:24 |
| masque7 | h4x0r: yes | 02:24 |
| n8tuser | blak-> that keychain is required for access to network interfaces | 02:24 |
| NightDragon | well it keeps going into "low graphics mode" and i cant get out of it | 02:24 |
| adey | HI evrbdy .. i try to patch my acx100 drivers but i got an make err: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392646/ why is that?! | 02:24 |
| MetalHeadDead | Flannel: perfect solution, thanks I should have thought of that :) doh! | 02:24 |
| c00p | how are people liking 8.10 ? | 02:24 |
| JFo | secret901, most of the linked bugs I am finding seem to point to driver issues, but when I start heading that way the related bugs are due to some external monitor | 02:24 |
| h4x0r | do you guys update to intrepid? | 02:24 |
| blak | n8tuser: it suggest i have set a keychain password, i never was given the option, how do i set my keychain password? | 02:24 |
| bill | <c00p> it's good | 02:24 |
| kisu | hey guys, I have a bare install of hardy heron, I got an image of intrepid, mounted it, pointed synaptic at it, it finds the drive but wont import due to W: Signature verification failed for: /media/cdrom/dists/intrepid/Release.gpg, any suggestions? | 02:24 |
| thiebaude | c00p:i love it | 02:24 |
| c00p | I haven't got it yet - Mirrors are so hammard - had it going for 5 hours yesterday and another 2 today ... haha | 02:24 |
| secret901 | JFo: I think it's some botched configuration, since it works fine in the LiveCD | 02:24 |
| NightDragon | c00p: other then the fact that it broke absoultely EVERYTHING, not bad :) | 02:24 |
| n8tuser | blak-> what i said is try to put your wpa/wpa2 key in the interfaces file, and see if it still requires you to fool around with keyring stuff | 02:24 |
| mr_polite | c00p: its good - im back to 8.04 though for lack of legacy nvidia drivers | 02:24 |
| JFo | secret901, I really think so too | 02:24 |
| NightDragon | but thats okay, its linux... thats par for the course when you upgrade :) | 02:25 |
| GarryFre | I have a Ubuntu 8.10 system with two hard drives. I cannot write to the second drive. I goggled around and tried some stuff that just messed up my install so badly I lost my gdm and had to re-install. Can anyone point me to the REAL and correct instructions for my problem, where ubuntu thinks the hard drive is not mine. I suppose it think its owned by the cat. | 02:25 |
| dmitriyv | id tell you how 8.10 was if my NIC worked with it, ever since the upgrades from the -19 kernel ive been screwed :P | 02:25 |
| _2 | c00p some are hating it termendously, some are loving it deliciously. | 02:25 |
| bill | <mr_polite> i got mine running good..... | 02:25 |
| bill | every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) | 02:25 |
| JFo | I am one of the ones who loves it so far | 02:25 |
| dmitriyv | im jsut trying to find a PCI one that would have no problems | 02:25 |
| n8tuser | blak oh i am not aware you have not setup your keyring password, it is usually the root password.. | 02:25 |
| GTDuffman | et | 02:25 |
| bill | every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) | 02:25 |
| c00p | anyone here successfully used the "Distribution Upgrade" from 8.04 to .10 ? | 02:25 |
| blak | n8tuser: alright i understand that, i think it would be better to utilize this "new" keyring thing though so it is not just sitting in my interfaces file you know? | 02:25 |
| NightDragon | yes | 02:25 |
| Flannel | MetalHeadDead: You can also give users more fine grained access via sudo, so if you want your non-admin user to be able to use update-manager, but not anything else for instance, you can do that. | 02:25 |
| GarryFre | I am used to editing the old style fstab, but not this current one. | 02:25 |
| c00p | cause I am running that now ... :) | 02:25 |
| bill | every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) | 02:25 |
| blak | n8tuser: how do you set it? | 02:25 |
| dmitriyv | bill stop spaming please | 02:26 |
| n8tuser | blak what sits on your interfaces file is the wpa2 key not the root password | 02:26 |
| philippe_ | Anyone else experiencing slow & sluggish firefox in Intrepid? | 02:26 |
| PMantis | If I boot from a CD, and the kernel says: "[ 7.sometime-here] Not responding."... *WHAT* is not responding?? | 02:26 |
| bill | <philippe_> works good here | 02:26 |
| n8tuser | blak its been a while, but lets see.. what happens when you do a sudo -i | 02:26 |
| blak | n8tuser: of course, yes the root pass would make sense for the keyring password but it isnt that i guess... it asked to set it once and i thought i did but it obvviously isnt that password either... i never noticed keyring anything until after update to intrepid | 02:26 |
| bill | every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) | 02:27 |
| blak | n8tuser switches to root | 02:27 |
| n8tuser | blak why did you even upgraded to ibex? | 02:27 |
| blak | n8tuser why not? | 02:27 |
| n8tuser | blak then once it switches, type passwd | 02:27 |
| _2 | PMantis what it says above that | 02:27 |
| n8tuser | blak is there a necessity to upgrade? | 02:27 |
| GarryFre | Can anyone help me or do I have to fight google for another six hours or more? | 02:27 |
| ChinaForge | I user apt-get install linux-kernel-devel on ubuntu 8.10,but system report can't find,how can i do? | 02:28 |
| n8tuser | ChinaForge-> it may not be available yet, wait for a week perhaps? | 02:28 |
| GarryFre | I think you need to install build essentials to start | 02:28 |
| _2 | PMantis something like trying pfft driver or attempting to blah register the messages should all read coherantly togther | 02:28 |

| PMantis | _2: I choose to start ubuntu from CD, it finishes "Loading Kernel", sits for 5 seconds, clears screen... then "Not responding." happens 3 times, reboots. | 02:29 |
| g_ | hey I cant get the nvidia driver to install and my restricted drivers manager doesnt even show anything anymore, where can i check for the problem what logs do i have to open up? | 02:29 |
| blak | Flannel: NICE | 02:29 |
| PMantis | _2: So, I see *nothing* above this line. | 02:29 |
| ChinaForge | n8tuser:thank you. | 02:29 |

| GarryFre | Does anyone have a URL for adding another hard drive to Ubuntu 8.x were it will mount on bootup, recognize my account in wr mode? | 02:30 |
| Malgr1 | n8tuser, after my last line, I disconnected, can you repeat anything you said to me/ | 02:30 |

| _2 | PMantis without seeing what it's attempting i would have trouble diagnosing that, but an educated guess would be the cd/dvd drive is not repsonding to the signal the kernel is sending | 02:30 |
| Flannel | dignan: Please take offtopic chatter elsewhere. | 02:30 |
| n8tuser | Malgra-> if you are using dhcp for it, it would a simple line of iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 02:30 |

| dignan | Oh, I get it... since i have a 666 day uptime... Well, you didn't realize that I have a TIME MACHINE | 02:31 |

| _2 | PMantis i would think that perhaps the cd/dvd drive is not configured correctly. is it on an ide cable ? | 02:33 |
| dignan | progre55: do an lspci | 02:33 |
| PMantis | Yes. | 02:33 |
| PMantis | _2: yes | 02:33 |
| dignan | progre55: what do you see about your wifi card there | 02:33 |
| _2 | PMantis is it alone on that cable ? | 02:33 |
| mikel | stweston: are you in ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| stweston | mikel: server. | 02:33 |
| stweston | mikel: installing | 02:33 |
| PMantis | _2: yes, master. | 02:34 |
| _2 | PMantis does it have jumpers to set it to master or slave ? | 02:34 |
| mikel | stweston: hmm not so sure in linux is /cdrom | 02:34 |
| progre55 | dignan: sec | 02:34 |
| PMantis | _2: Yes, set to master. | 02:34 |
| PMantis | _2: I tried 3 diff IDE cables | 02:34 |

| stweston | mikel: I understand that, but I've tried a directory search of /dev and it dosn't have anything, same for /cdrom | 02:34 |
| _2 | PMantis ok try plugging it in the other plug on the cable if you can. | 02:34 |
| dignan | progre55: what kind of wifi card | 02:34 |
| EruditeHermit | hi, does anyone know how to make an image of an install so that it can be transferred across to another hard drive? | 02:35 |
| Malgr1 | n8tuser: there's still no network manager found. | 02:35 |
| PMantis | _2: I even tried connecting the CDROM to a USB adapter. | 02:35 |
| stweston | mikel: well, anything relevant, at least. /cdrom has nothing. | 02:35 |
| PMantis | _2: ok... | 02:35 |
| _2 | PMantis and try moving the jumper to cable select | 02:35 |
| mikel | stweston: you must first type sudo mount /cdrom | 02:35 |
| stweston | mikel: aah. | 02:35 |
| progre55 | dignan: but it said something like "Intel corporation Unknown device 4232 | 02:35 |
| dignan | do you know what it's called or? | 02:35 |
| dignan | it's probably been done before | 02:35 |
| n8tuser | Malgr1-> adding those lines does not enable network manager | 02:35 |

| dignan | just search ubuntu's forums.. you just need to a. load a kernel module or b. finagle ndiswrapper | 02:35 |
| Sawyer- | what's the command called to reconfigure X window graphics | 02:36 |
| mikel | stweston: are you currently root? | 02:36 |
| n8tuser | Malgr1-> now you can sudo ifup wlan0 | 02:36 |
| stweston | mikel: I believe so, but I'm only installing. | 02:36 |
| Sawyer- | I think ubuntu just successfully destroyed my television | 02:36 |
| progre55 | dignan: i'm new to linux, so.. :) dont even know what you are talking about )) | 02:36 |
| stweston | mikel: so, sudo won't work, I think. | 02:36 |
| PMantis | _2: Trying it now... This is a DVDROM that I've always used for my installs, 'cause it's damn fast and always works. | 02:36 |
| _2 | PMantis i really don't know. but just from what you have described. it's probably the cd/dvd drive not playing nice with other hardware. if you can't find it there. you might look into setting the bus speed on the kernel command line at boot time. i would have to google for info on that. | 02:37 |
| progre55 | dignan: how do you configure ndiswrapper? | 02:37 |
| === kc is now known as highwayman | ||
| dime | hello.. how do i install kernel support for raid? | 02:37 |
| dignan | progre55: by googling for "configure ndiswrapper". I've never had the misfortune as my wifi card has native support | 02:37 |
| dime | is there a package that does it? | 02:37 |
| mikel | stweston: in the terminal prompt it should say something like ?@? what does it say? | 02:38 |

| soreau | As I suspected, the Intrepid upgrade all but completely borked my ubuntu install. fglrx failed immediately, and while trying to fix that realized my xorg.conf was empty, then finally get gdm to load with the open drivers, and it gets to the gdm login screen and right when it flashes the login box, it starts gdm again, over and over in a loop | 02:46 |
| mikel | stweston: as you are running from the cd and not the install you are running in a live session and completly in ram so you wont be able to use the usual methods without first installing and i just dont know how to do stuff from ram lol | 02:46 |

| CardiacKid | can I share the Home Folder | 02:50 |
| _Phil | Anyone seen this issue yet? After updating from 8.04 to 8.10 using the alternate cd. I rebooted post upgrade, and got to the login screen, I then enter my uername and password and it just sits there doing nothing. I can switch to another TTY so I know it's not entirely hosed. Can anyone provide a direction where I might be able to investigate what's going on? (This is on a Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook.) | 02:50 |
| mikel | sorry hit close lol | 02:50 |
| _2 | PMantis when you get it sorted out, drop ole binarry a hint as to what it was. i hate not knowing these things. | 02:50 |
| riz0n | I have traced a problem I am having with GDM down to a KVM switch I have hooked to my PC.. basically the KVM switch allows me to hook one monitor, keyboard, and mouse to two PC's. If my Ubuntu system boots with the KVM switch controlling the other PC (not the ubuntu) then Ubuntu boots to a screen saying that my video and monitor could not be detected properly. Is there any way to force ubuntu to use a certain video/monitor profile regardl | 02:50 |
| stweston | mikel: that's fine. | 02:50 |
| PMantis | _2: binarry ? | 02:50 |
| PMantis | _2: Whoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaah! | 02:50 |
| _2 | PMantis base two _2 | 02:51 |

| dr_willis | riz0n, ive seen others with kvm switch issues.. their fix was to basicially manually edit/configure the xorg.conf with the proper modes for their monitors | 02:51 |
| stweston | mikel: not really. I'm trying to mount it. | 02:51 |
| vluser | anybody got the address to the medibuntu repos? | 02:51 |

| PMantis | _2: I just set "fail safe defaults" in the BIOS, and it started working! | 02:51 |
| juancarlos | hi | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | vietcoop, it uses /boot/grub/menu.lst you sure you were not reading comments by mistake? | 02:51 |
| stweston | mikel: but that's really all. | 02:51 |
| KMan | hey guys | 02:52 |
| _2 | PMantis ok it is then something to do with the drive or the timming. but we still don't know which. | 02:52 |
| n8tuser | Malgr1-> nope, you can modify the /etc/network/interfaces file .. have i suggested.. man interfaces | 02:52 |
| KMan | i need help... ubuntu isn't starting up properly | 02:52 |
| mikel | stweston: are you planning to install ubuntu server either way? | 02:52 |
| stweston | mikel: yes. | 02:52 |
| riz0n | thanks, the odd thing is, even if i accept low graphics mode, the next screen i see is a black screen. basically the system crashes... i can reboot and it reboots to low graphics mode (even if KVM is controlling other PC) but if i log in and create a session, all is well, but when I log out, the system crashes. | 02:52 |

| KMan2121 | while it was booting up | 03:21 |

| KMan2121 | kirollos@morkos:~$ | 03:24 |
| _2 | KMan2121 ok, startx | 03:24 |
| KMan2121 | same thing | 03:24 |
| KMan2121 | kirollos@morkos:~$ | 03:24 |
| djGentoo | A few extensions, but under the same version under Ubuntu 8.04, it was fine. | 03:24 |
| _2 | KMan2121 but it should have a line with EE in it | 03:24 |
| djGentoo | EVen with 40 tabs. | 03:24 |
| sten_ | philippe_: I have better luck with sun's java than icedtea or the other one (I forget what it's called) | 03:24 |
| _2 | KMan2121 what is the EE reason it failed | 03:24 |
| pen | how can I revert back to my original MAC address? | 03:25 |
| KMan2121 | it says fatal server error | 03:25 |

| Fiveipads | kk | 03:25 |
| Mors_ | türkçe bilen var mı? :) | 03:25 |
| Fiveipads | what was the problem | 03:25 |
| Fiveipads | it sounds like i might have a similar problem | 03:25 |
| KMan2121 | i'm havin trouble starting up ubuntu | 03:25 |
| _2 | KMan2121 ok. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ;startx | 03:25 |
| Fiveipads | the graphics? | 03:25 |
| sten_ | djGentoo: well, multiple tabs shouldn't do much more than use up ram, unless there is lots of active content in the tabs. | 03:25 |
| KMan2121 | no | 03:25 |
| Fiveipads | *graphics driver* | 03:25 |
| KMan2121 | jus a sec | 03:26 |
| Fiveipads | kk | 03:26 |
| _2 | Fiveipads most likely. | 03:26 |
| steve__ | do u have the latest 8.10 | 03:26 |
| _2 | Fiveipads you have a bug fix/workaround ? | 03:26 |
| sten_ | _grepper: what kind of pointers? I installed XFCE on top of ubuntu alternate, and then start vnc as a normal user in rc.local | 03:26 |
| Fiveipads | i upgraded from 8.04 | 03:26 |
| Fiveipads | to 8.10 | 03:26 |
| pen | how can I revert back to my original MAC address? | 03:27 |
| _grepper | sten_: any links with details steps | 03:27 |
| Fiveipads | and now when i turn on ubuntu, the nvidia configuration says it cant intialize | 03:27 |
| n8tuser | ldiamond-> why /grub/stage1 and not /boot/grub/stage1 ? | 03:27 |
| KMan2121 | _2 use kernel framebuffer device interface? yes or no? | 03:27 |
| _grepper | sten_: what is the default UI for Ubuntu 8.04? Gnome? | 03:27 |
| yoyoned | pen why did your mac change | 03:27 |
| _2 | KMan2121 no | 03:27 |
| ldiamondd | yoyoned The drive works fine on 2 other computers and every VMs I have. | 03:27 |
| steve__ | gnome is defualt | 03:27 |
| KMan2121 | k | 03:27 |
| KMan2121 | autodetect keyboard layout? | 03:27 |
| KMan2121 | yes or no? | 03:27 |
| sten_ | _grepper: you might also want to consider running a firewall which restricts vnc access, but allows ssh. (otherwise, it's a relatively insecure setup) | 03:27 |
| _2 | KMan2121 yes to most of them. no to frame buffer | 03:28 |
| KMan2121 | k | 03:28 |
| _grepper | _grepper: yes, I will be using that inside my network | 03:28 |
| _grepper | oops | 03:28 |
| redheat | hi everyone.. | 03:28 |
| yoyoned | ldiamond it's bootable from other computers? | 03:28 |
| Fiveipads | hey | 03:28 |
| _grepper | sten_: I will be using that from inside my network only | 03:28 |
| sten_ | _grepper: yes, gnome is default. If you use the server install disks, then there's no UI. You could also use the XFCE disks. imho, gnome is way too heavy for a server | 03:28 |
| _grepper | sten_: it's behind a firewalled router (not the best thing in the world, but...) | 03:28 |
| ldiamondd | n8tuser I dont know, thats what I saw online | 03:28 |
| BlooBay1 | ooookay boys. | 03:28 |
| sten_ | _grepper: wireless or wired? | 03:28 |
| ldiamondd | yoyoned yes | 03:29 |
| _grepper | sten_: wired | 03:29 |
| KMan2121 | _2 can we go in a chat? | 03:29 |
| thomasite | Hi. How do I change my DNS servers in 8.10? Thanks! | 03:29 |
| KMan2121 | this is confusing | 03:29 |
| sten_ | KMan2121: ;-) I know what you mean | 03:29 |
| BlooBay1 | kubuntu 8.10... fresh install on laptop. Will not connect with my broadcomm. | 03:29 |
| Fiveipads | so does anyone know how to configure the nvidia driver so that it will initialize the nvidia driver, it says the nvidia kernel cant initalize | 03:29 |
| KMan2121 | lol | 03:29 |
| KMan2121 | glad i'm not alone! | 03:29 |
| _2 | KMan2121 better if you can keep it here. others might need the same thing, or have better answers. | 03:29 |
| yoyoned | ldiamond then maybe this computer doesn't boot from usb | 03:29 |
| _grepper | sten_: I will most use Eclipse running on the UI | 03:29 |
| KMan2121 | k | 03:29 |
| _grepper | sten_: do you think Gnome's too much? | 03:29 |
| BlooBay1 | eclipse is niiiich. | 03:29 |
| bingungaja | hi there, when i first install ibex in my notebook (not yet activated special effect), my totem is no issue playing dvd, but after I activated the special effect by typing "nvidia-xconfig" in the consule , my totem can't play dvd anymore, just freeze with no explanation http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1oa5.png Anyone can help me out please | 03:29 |
| BlooBay1 | niiice tha tis. | 03:29 |
| KMan2121 | well now it says configuring xserver-xorg | 03:29 |
| KMan2121 | nd it has a bunch of stuff bout keyboard layout | 03:30 |
| ferfactor | I want the transparency that emerald give to the border of the windor, but i want that transparency in the hole window... | 03:30 |
| _grepper | BlooBay1: indeed :) | 03:30 |
| ldiamondd | yoyoned It can boot from USB, theres all sorts of things about it in the bios | 03:30 |
| redheat | folks, I have a question about UUID, simply what is that? I found the UUID mentioned in the menu.lst next to root, I guess it might be related to the hard drive's name on which I installed ubuntu, but why isn't listed as it used to for example (hd0,something) | 03:30 |
| KMan2121 | wat do i do? | 03:30 |
| ldiamondd | yoyoned and it throws me in grub's console... it has to be opening it | 03:30 |
| _2 | KMan2121 what's the last message ? | 03:30 |
| sten_ | _grepper: yup. XFCE has device hot-plugging automounting, session management, etc. No gvfs though (graphical browsing of network shares is limited, but this won't matter if you're using nfs) | 03:30 |
| steve__ | its easy to fix guys, just use windows xp and install the drivers that come with the shit | 03:30 |
| steve__ | lol | 03:30 |
| Mefached | Would it be possible to make my 8 GB USB into a hard drive for Ubuntu? Saving to it, etc. | 03:30 |
| BlooBay1 | but, still, no wireless on broadcom based Precision m70 | 03:30 |
| redheat | I'm talking about the the new version of ubuntu 8.10 | 03:30 |
| KMan2121 | its jus a big screen talkin bout keypboard layout | 03:30 |
| ldiamondd | Mefached You can make a ubuntu drive out of it yes | 03:31 |
| _2 | KMan2121 hit enter ? | 03:31 |
| ldiamondd | !install > Mefached | 03:31 |
| ubottu | Mefached, please see my private message | 03:31 |
| KMan2121 | i cant | 03:31 |
| Ganandorf | hi guys is there data recovery software available in the repositories i want to recover data from an ext3 drive thats not booting | 03:31 |
| _grepper | sten_: is it straightforward to install? | 03:31 |
| _2 | KMan2121 hit tab | 03:31 |
| KMan2121 | nothing happens when i hit enter | 03:31 |
| yoyoned | ldiamond so grub isn't installed on the builtin drive? | 03:31 |
| ldiamondd | no | 03:31 |
| KMan2121 | oh | 03:31 |
| KMan2121 | k | 03:31 |
| sten_ | _grepper: if you want straightforward, install Xubuntu | 03:31 |
| KMan2121 | worx now | 03:31 |
| steve__ | so they haven't released drivers for broadcom yet? DAM, my mate realy wants to use ubuntu and thats the main reason he is not using it because of wireless | 03:31 |
| ldiamondd | only a screwed up Windows | 03:31 |
| KMan2121 | wats my keyboard model? | 03:31 |
| KMan2121 | pc105? | 03:31 |

| ubottu | fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 03:31 |
| redheat | does anyone know what that is? | 03:31 |
| _2 | KMan2121 probably | 03:31 |
| KMan2121 | k | 03:32 |
| _grepper | sten_: no, I want at lease some script or starting points, that's all | 03:32 |
| redheat | UUID? what is that folks? | 03:32 |
| steve__ | xc | 03:32 |
| pen | yoyoned: I don't know | 03:32 |
| yoyoned | !UUID | 03:32 |
| ubottu | 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) | 03:32 |
| KMan2121 | ok | 03:32 |
| _2 | redheat unique unit identifier | 03:32 |
| sten_ | redheat: it's a filesystem barcode, basically | 03:32 |
| KMan2121 | the thing is done | 03:32 |
| pen | yoyoned: and I forgot my original mac address | 03:32 |
| _2 | KMan2121 startx | 03:32 |
| KMan2121 | now it says kirollos@morkos:~# again | 03:32 |
| pen | yoyoned: probably someone changed it | 03:32 |
| exautt | k, so i got intrepid, but it LOCKS after login. i've got a celeron 1Ghz with 512mb ram & installed using WUBI | 03:32 |
| KMan2121 | startx? | 03:32 |
| redheat | yoyoned, thanks for the help.. | 03:32 |
| _grepper | sten_: I don't mind doing a few apt-gets / make / ... | 03:33 |
| redheat | and you too _2 | 03:33 |
| yoyoned | pen your mac shouldn't change | 03:33 |
| _grepper | sten_: I just want something I can rely on for logical steps | 03:33 |
| sten_ | _grepper: I sent you a dcc chat request. let's switch to that | 03:33 |
| _2 | KMan2121 if it EE errors out, then tell us the error. | 03:33 |
| redheat | I think the only rationale behind UUID, is that there's NO rationale behind it, except giving us hard times...just like the wireless driver.. | 03:33 |
| pen | yoyoned: I tried restart, it's still the same and eth0 disappeared now it's eth2 | 03:33 |
| KMan2121 | _2 same as b4, fatal server error: no screens found, giving up. | 03:33 |
| redheat | anyhow..folks thank you so much for your help..thank you appreciate it.. | 03:34 |
| BlooBay1 | any idea how to get broadcomm wireless working on laptop? new kubuntu 8.10 install | 03:34 |
| yoyoned | ldiamond my only other sugestio would be to try (hd2) or others | 03:34 |
| Magilla | I think that there is an exceptional possibility that this computer will not come back up properly - 36 errors, 36 bugs lodged | 03:34 |
| _2 | redheat wrong. mounting devices with the UUID they can be on different busses or ide channels and still be recognized and mounted correctly. using device addressing if it moves you lose it. | 03:34 |
| Magilla | :/ | 03:34 |
| _grepper | sten_: I'm an IRC n00b, so I am not sure why but DCC chat didn't work... | 03:34 |

| _grepper | macvr: I'd go with the new version. IIRC, your old version will be backed up with some different extension on the same path, so you can at least reboot and then add your customized settings | 04:04 |
| _grepper | anyone else has an opinion on that? | 04:05 |
| ThomasHC | hello | 04:05 |
| macvr | _grepper: ok... will choose the new settings... thank u... | 04:05 |

| kelvin911 | i click hibernate, my moniter is shut down but i can see no hdd working and the computer is still on and i wait for like 10 min, i reset it | 04:11 |
| PMantis | kelvin911: Just a guess.. but is your swap partition big enough to save your RAM? | 04:12 |
| mordof | what's a common console mail viewing program for the local user mail? (don't know if calling it a console app is right >.> regularly a windows user x.x) i have one installed, but i forget what it's called >.> lol. don't know how to find it | 04:12 |

| n8tuser | mordof type mail | 04:13 |
| mordof | n8tuser: comes up with nothing | 04:13 |
| mordof | tried that, heh | 04:13 |
| _2 | mordof Mail ? | 04:13 |
| kelvin911 | my swap is 4GB | 04:13 |
| kelvin911 | i have 2GB ram | 04:13 |
| n8tuser | mordof-> it may need to be installed | 04:13 |
| mordof | n8tuser: it's already installed though.. i've used it a ton in the past, i just forget the name to start it ; ; | 04:14 |
| n8tuser | mutt ? | 04:14 |
| mordof | ty :D that's it | 04:14 |
| mordof | yay i can check my mail now, lol | 04:15 |
| kelvin911 | should i put 2X512MB 533mhz in my computer? i have 2X1GB 667mhz in it | 04:15 |
| mordof | it's all just a crontask from my mailer daemon though. i don't know how to stop that D;! | 04:15 |
| n8tuser | mordof-> sudo crontab -e | 04:15 |
| BrentNewland | @kevin911: Your 2x512MB 533 will make your 2x1GB 667 run at 533 | 04:16 |
| kelvin911 | so it is not good? | 04:16 |
| mordof | doesn't mean it's no good | 04:16 |
| n8tuser | its good enuff | 04:16 |
| mordof | it'll just underclock it | 04:16 |
| tdizzle86 | Can anyone help me out with some video issues I'm having. However I'm running xubuntu | 04:16 |
| frederick85 | hey I'v got a ubuntu system that is installed but my grub installation failed because I have a freebsd bootloader on, how can I install grub manually from the livecd, so I can get my ubuntu installation to work, I would reinstall the ubuntu installation if I knew grub would override the bsdbootloader. | 04:17 |
| kelvin911 | is the speed drop notable? | 04:17 |
| genii | tdizzle86: Have you tried in #xubuntu forst before asking here? | 04:17 |
| babaklinux | who can help me for pascal problem in ubuntu? | 04:17 |
| tdizzle86 | Yep | 04:17 |
| mordof | kelvin911: unlikely you'd notice it | 04:17 |
| scunizi | !grub | frederick85 | 04:17 |
| ubottu | frederick85: 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 | 04:17 |
| tdizzle86 | I ended up helping out other people | 04:17 |
| n8tuser | frederick85-> the partitioning of freebsd is different from linux, you may want to put it in a different disk? | 04:17 |
| kelvin911 | because i just bought this 2X1GB 667mhz hr ago | 04:17 |
| genii | tdizzle86: I'd say ask away then, they both use the gtk backend so a solution may be had | 04:18 |
| _2 | well i'll say. learn something new every day... gotmail - utility to download email from a Hotmail or MSN account | 04:18 |
| kelvin911 | i guess i should put the 533 back in to have 3GB instead of 2GB ram? | 04:18 |
| starcraft2fan | excuse me I have a "Ubuntu on Mac mini" questions, is this the correct channel? | 04:18 |
| mordof | kelvin911: it's noticable only under extreme circumstances (mainly gaming, with really high graphics options.. ) where performance of a ton of operations at once makes a difference | 04:18 |
| BrentNewland | @kevin911: Probably not. Go ahead and throw it in. | 04:18 |
| bill | every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) | 04:18 |
| sobersabre | hi, I have a Creative Zen X-Fi. | 04:18 |
| mordof | kelvin911: and even then, it won't make alot of difference. it's hardly noticable even at that | 04:18 |
| sobersabre | I want to transcode my video files for it. | 04:18 |
| askvictor | How do I create a liveUSB for intrepid? Do I need to boot into the liveCD or can I do it from a hardy box? | 04:19 |
| sobersabre | what I should use on ubuntu ? | 04:19 |
| kelvin911 | so i should put them back in? | 04:19 |
| mordof | sobersabre: i use ffmpeg, though you'd have to specify the right codecs probably | 04:19 |
| mordof | kelvin911: i would | 04:19 |
| dr_willis | askvictor, you can use that 'unetbootin' tool to make a live-usb-thumbdrive from the iso image file | 04:19 |
| babaklinux | how can I use pascal language in ubuntu? | 04:19 |
| sobersabre | mordof: I have the files with mkv and avi extensions, but I have no idea what is inside. | 04:19 |
| dr_willis | babaklinux, install one of the pascal compilers and start codeing | 04:20 |
| kelvin911 | if i have 3gb ram my 4gb swap is more than enought right? | 04:20 |
| deever | is there an easy tutorial for installing ubuntu on a MBP and OSX as the secondary os? | 04:20 |
| sobersabre | do you have examples how to convert them ? | 04:20 |
| starcraft2fan | I have a c2duo mac mini and would like to dual boot 8.10 with 10.5 leopard, is there anything different in 8.10 vs 7.04 in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mac_mini ? | 04:20 |
| sobersabre | I have no idea what I should do. | 04:20 |
| mordof | kelvin911: even with 2gb of ram, your 4gb swap is more than enough | 04:20 |
| genii | !info gpc | babaklinux | 04:20 |
| ubottu | babaklinux: gpc (source: gcc-defaults (1.74ubuntu2)): The GNU Pascal compiler. In component universe, is optional. Version 5:2.1-4.1.2-24ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB | 04:20 |
| mordof | kelvin911: maybe if you're doing insane 3d scene rendering on large scales you might run into an issue, lol | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | babaklinux, gpc-4.1 - The GNU Pascal compiler | 04:20 |
| _2 | dr_willis odd that all i ever see anyone mention using "unetbootin" for is the iso to usb stick. i used it for an installed system to usb stick tool ;/ | 04:20 |
| sobersabre | kelvin911: "more than enough" is questionable => what do you plan to do ? | 04:20 |
| askvictor | kelvin911: unless you doing something massive you prolly wont even need swap | 04:21 |
| babaklinux | dr_willis: I installed gpc bu I don't know when I wrote a program in editor with pascal language what name do I have to put for that file for example in c++ we have to put *.c | 04:21 |
| kelvin911 | i run many app at once | 04:21 |
| kelvin911 | when i am working | 04:21 |
| dr_willis | _2, i tried out that generate-usb-thing under 8.10 and it seems to generate a usb stick in about 1/2 the time. | 04:21 |
| sobersabre | babaklinux: .pas. | 04:21 |
| dr_willis | babaklinux, it dosent matter much most likely | 04:21 |
| mordof | kelvin911: with 2gb of ran under winxp, i turned off swap completely.. the only time i ever noticed an issue was when i blatently tried to force it to run out | 04:21 |
| frederick85 | n8tuser: I try this command sudo grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda but i get could not find device for /boot | 04:21 |
| mordof | kelvin911: i also run many things at once | 04:21 |
| mordof | ram* | 04:21 |
| dr_willis | babaklinux, you dont HAVE to use .c :) its just standard practice | 04:21 |
| kelvin911 | i open opera, firefox(sometimes), xfig, emacs, have more than 3 pdf open, 2 xdvi, maple, skype, vlc, | 04:22 |
| kelvin911 | sometimes even gimp too... | 04:22 |
| askvictor | kelvin911: me too; including VMs. Only once have I topped 2gb. Add a system monitor applet to the taskbar to see how much you're using. Then again, doesn't hurt to have a few gigs for swap seeing how cheap HD space is | 04:22 |
| sobersabre | mordof: which version of ffmpeg are you using ? | 04:22 |
| kelvin911 | all at once | 04:22 |
| mordof | sobersabre: whichever is in the repos | 04:22 |
| kelvin911 | plus openoffice soemtimes | 04:22 |
| mordof | kelvin911: you won't ever hit an issue | 04:22 |

| kelvin911 | last time i feel the fire effect is lagging when i close one window | 04:23 |
| BrentNewland | I just got a new system (Q6700, 6GB RAM, 640GB SATA HDD) and I'm wondering whether I should keep the drive and split it (swap, ubuntu, home, vista, storage) or if I should throw in a smaller PATA 250GB that's about six years old and split that (swap, ubuntu, home, xp) Any opinions? | 04:23 |
| kelvin911 | when i have that many apps open all at once, but i had 1GB ram back then | 04:23 |
| GarryFre | Anyone? | 04:23 |
| mordof | kelvin911: 1gb of ram is generally kinda easy to over-do it. i run 2gb at the moment and i have no issues | 04:23 |
| kelvin911 | oh and i have awn running too | 04:24 |
| mordof | kelvin911: you run a bit mroe than i tend to regularly, but at times i have enough running to compare with that, and i don't have problems. you shouldn't notice it | 04:24 |
| xorlim | GarryFre: state your problem please | 04:24 |
| chunyuan | cw=Z]Q;;~ | 04:24 |
| mordof | xorlim: he did. drive automounting unable to write to it | 04:25 |
| GarryFre | I cant' write to this automounted drive ... the fstab line is /dev/sda1 /media/sea200 ext3 user,users,auto,exec,rw 0 0 | 04:25 |
| chunyuan | cw=Z]Q;NeQ<NeQ<A, | 04:25 |
| chunyuan | cw=Z]SpLkQ;M3SqMmQ;M1 | 04:25 |
| GarryFre | I've been fighting this since 5pm | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | GarryFre, if its ext3, then your user must have permissions/ownsership of the files/directorrys he is writing to. | 04:25 |
| xorlim | GarryFre: I had same problem in FreeSBIE (FreeBSD) Live CD... I think I remounted it "not read only" | 04:25 |
| _2 | GarryFre so own it or mod it | 04:26 |
| xorlim | GarryFre: you have to remove the read only attribute | 04:26 |
| mordof | kelvin911: taking off to go do the cow level in diablo 2 over lan, bye | 04:26 |
| mordof | kelvin911: should be fine | 04:26 |
| frederick85 | n8tuser: boot should be in sda2 | 04:26 |
| mepholic | OK GUYS | 04:26 |
| _2 | xorlim what ro attribute ? | 04:26 |
| mepholic | SERAQUAL y/N? | 04:26 |
| GarryFre | I wish I knew how to remove read only attrib. I could just reformat it to ext2 as it is empty drive | 04:26 |
| vitamin-carrot | sudo chown username:group /folder/path | 04:26 |
| mepholic | SEROQUAL* | 04:26 |
| mepholic | wat | 04:26 |
| mepholic | should i take it | 04:26 |
| kelvin911 | so max ram for ubuntu is 4GB? | 04:26 |
| mepholic | 400mg tablet | 04:26 |
| _2 | GarryFre there isnt' one. just chown the thing | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | GarryFre, formating to ext2 wont fix the issue.. its a linux filesystem. so the ownership/permissions rules apply | 04:27 |
| xorlim | _2: I think it's something like mount -ro /drive | 04:27 |
| kelvin911 | why the max ram xp can see is 3.5GB? while ubuntu is 4GB? arent they both 32bit? | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | chown the mountpoint to be owned by the user you want.. might do it. | 04:27 |
| n8tuser | frederick85-> okay, try it and see how it goes | 04:27 |
| xorlim | _2: man mount | 04:27 |
| _2 | xorlim no. | 04:27 |
| GarryFre | ok, I guess I got to google chown. thanks. | 04:27 |
| _2 | xorlim you are all wet. | 04:27 |
| xorlim | _2: -r Mount the file system read-only. A synonym is -o ro. | 04:28 |
| _2 | GarryFre chown is a command. sudo chown -R /media/sea* | 04:28 |
| SEAL_45 | who here is a ubuntu master?? | 04:28 |
| xorlim | _2: mount -o ro /drive | 04:28 |
| thomasite | Hi. How do I change my DNS servers in 8.10? Thanks! | 04:28 |
| xorlim | GarryFre: man mount, check for -r | 04:28 |
| _2 | xorlim he doesn't want to mount it read only. | 04:28 |
| SpAc | I know this is suited to #lighttpd but I can't get any help there. Lighttpd wont start for me on Ubuntu. I recently did an apt-get upgrade and since then it wont start. Is there any way I can get some more detailed logs or debugging info? The error logs don't tell me anything | 04:29 |
| frederick85 | n8tuser: yeah i tried /dev/sda2 it say not found/not block device also | 04:29 |
| _2 | xorlim it's not a mount issue. | 04:29 |
| n8tuser | frederick85-> just the /dev/sda | 04:29 |
| BrentNewland | @GarryFre: Have you tried using defaults? /dev/sda1 /media/sea200 ext3 defaults 0 0 | 04:29 |
| xorlim | _2: ok | 04:29 |

| kai696 | Can someone explain to me MIMD? Is it multi-core or does it mean two or more machines seperate from the hardware combining them? | 04:33 |
| _2 | dr_willis yes i noticed that too but they "may" not be fs specific options. | 04:34 |
| BrentNewland | @_2: I've had similar problems mounting ISO images as writeable | 04:34 |

| dr_willis | iso images are not writeable.. last i looked... | 04:34 |

| BrentNewland | @_2: It doesn't matter if it's a different FS wisdom still applies, he's most likely got the wrong mount options | 04:35 |

| elamsusa | I'm not sure what I'm doing worng, but it's not doing it for certan | 04:35 |
| _2 | BrentNewland ok. i'll stop. you win. | 04:35 |

| kongove | hi | 04:40 |
| elamsusa | starcraft2fan: try this | 04:40 |
| elamsusa | http://blog.costan.us/2008/04/ubuntu-804-on-mac-mini.html | 04:40 |
| GarryFre | it created it, ... intersting, I can create files via command line but not the cgi | 04:40 |
| _2 | GarryFre then the chown worked perfectly. and you're welcome :) | 04:40 |
| GarryFre | er grahical interface | 04:40 |
| starcraft2fan | elamsusa: I'm seeing this error: code=DNS_NO_DATA] The IP address was not found during the DNS lookup. Contact your system administrator. | 04:41 |
| deever | is there an easy tutorial for installing ubuntu on a MBP and OSX as the secondary os? | 04:41 |
| elamsusa | I didn't even get that far | 04:41 |
| _2 | GarryFre try dismounting it in the gui and remounting it. that might clear up the gui issue. | 04:41 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | Can a Ubuntu master please pm me | 04:41 |
| elamsusa | deever, google that, it is out there | 04:42 |
| carbon_monoxide | !libz.so | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libz.so | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, state the problem to the channel, be clear and concise and verbose. :) | 04:42 |
| edwardk | #join kubuntu | 04:42 |
| GarryFre | It insists it's busy will have to reboot | 04:43 |
| GarryFre | brb, thanks again | 04:43 |
| _2 | GarryFre one other thing. you said you "tried chown garry /media/sea200 " that's not recursive. i said -R with even my typod chown command. :/ | 04:43 |
| tenX | hi every1 | 04:43 |
| _2 | ah too late. | 04:43 |
| frederick85 | n8tuser: well I don't need help using grub, I just need to find out why the automated install failed when I installed my ubuntu installation, the freebsd bootloader is blocking it from installing somehow and this resource doesn't have information about it | 04:43 |
| joe__ | guys is my skype problem nobody elese is having? | 04:43 |
| Joti | when does shipit ships ubuntu | 04:44 |
| kai696 | joe__ mine seems to be working fine, other than Mic issues but I think thats my software | 04:44 |
| tenX | joe__: skype or skype audio? | 04:44 |
| Joti | i order yesterday | 04:44 |
| joe__ | skype | 04:44 |
| genii | Joti: email them and ask | 04:44 |
| edwardk | i'm using kubunt 81.0 and ubuntu 8.10...i have an adhoc home wireless network in ubuntu i connect to it without any problems...but in kubuntu i'm never able to cconnect | 04:44 |
| joe__ | iv dealt with the audio in mint | 04:44 |
| NkZ830_ | Greetings again, sorry my internet is dropping a lot. | 04:45 |
| penguin-up | joe__: skype is fine here | 04:45 |
| joe__ | i cant get skype for 8.10 64 bit? | 04:45 |
| n8tuser | frederick85-> okay, i did say freebsd file systems are different from linux right, so i would think you cant have them both on same hard disk. | 04:45 |
| tenX | joe__: well skype as an app shouldnt cause trouble. i been experiencing a lot of trouble with my audio related to a specific sound card.. and alsa/oss | 04:45 |
| GarryFre | It works!!! Thanks for the chown info. that was the fixer, amazing that I could google for hours and not find any reference to it | 04:45 |
| edwardk | is there another network management softare that i could use? | 04:45 |
| _2 | dr_willis for the record, i see no problem with specifying both "user" and "users" on a linux fs. had to consult the man page to make sure there wasn't any fs specific reason not to. | 04:45 |
| Joti | genii: whom | 04:45 |
| Flannel | Joti: You might try asking your LoCo team if you need it sooner than a few weeks. They can probably get you something much sooner. | 04:46 |
| genii | joti: info@shipit.ubuntu.com | 04:46 |
| joe__ | skype wont load from synaptic pakage manger? | 04:46 |
| n8tuser | frederick85-> sorry its been a long day for me, let me rest for a few.. | 04:46 |
| edwardk | _2, i'm still not able to use my integrated NIC in my latitude 600 im force to use wireless | 04:46 |
| genii | Bah. Asks then leaves. Annoying | 04:46 |
| edwardk | lol | 04:46 |
| RonPaul | anyone kno anything about setting up RAID or LVM | 04:47 |
| NkZ830_ | My question was> I was trying to use the GRUB recovery method sugested by the ubot, but when I execute the line find /boot/grub/stage1 I get error 15: file not found. In addition to that, if I type "root (hd0,1)" I get a "selected disk does not exist" | 04:47 |
| frederick85 | n8tuser: thats fine. | 04:47 |
| RonPaul | I have 5 HDD that I ant to connect and run as a server | 04:47 |
| PMantis | !ask|RonPaul | 04:47 |
| ubottu | RonPaul: 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. :-) | 04:47 |
| thomasite | Hi. I have a problem. Originally, when my laptop was running on 8.04, the movie player works fine most of the time; rarely it does occur that no sound comes out when I play DVDs/VCDs, and when that happens, I just restart the system. Now that I have 8.10, restarting doesn't solve the issue. What shall I do? Please help me. Thanks! | 04:48 |
| _2 | edwardk not my strong suite but if you want i'll give a look. | 04:48 |
| RonPaul | my bad | 04:48 |
| edwardk | _2, i must admit though that for a brief 10 minutes it had worked today but then it just disappeared again | 04:48 |
| bill | every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) | 04:48 |
| GarryFre | first time I installed linux when slackware was new I gzipped all my files on my drive, all partitions not knowing that after backup, the files would be deleted by default. Slack don't work well without it's files | 04:48 |
| deever | elamsusa: i found many about installing ubuntu alongside osx, but i want to install osx alongside ubuntu | 04:48 |
| RonPaul | i didn't ask to ask a uestion tho | 04:48 |
| edwardk | i'm wondering if its a similar issue to that of the e1000 that was giving problems earlier | 04:49 |
| bill | every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) | 04:49 |
| progre55 | hi everybody | 04:49 |
| progre55 | i've just installed ubuntu 8.10. how to activate the special effects?? | 04:49 |
| _2 | can you pastebin the output of these three commands for me? lsmod ;lshw -C network 2>/dev/null ;ifconfig -a | 04:49 |
| GarryFre | thomasite: What sound card is it? I had similar with a soundmax driver | 04:49 |
| frederick85 | can anyone tell me how I can wipe my freebsd bootloader so I can then install ubuntu, | 04:49 |
| Flannel | frederick85: Just install Ubuntu, it'll take care of its own bootloader | 04:50 |
| NetEcho | uhm howcome the intrepid upgrade from hardy removes everything? including wifi support before it can download the new stuff? | 04:50 |
| wgrant | progre55: System->Preferences->Administration->Visual Effects. | 04:50 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: I did that already but recieved a fatal error from grub installation | 04:50 |
| bill | <deever> LOL..... one first or the other.... no difference as long as u get un bootloader | 04:50 |
| ue | Yet I am another person with 8.10 hdd read-only permission problems, can't edit anythink even in recovery mode, any solutions to this problem ? | 04:50 |
| rdw200169 | frederick85: yeah, if you install grub, either by the Grub CD or by ubuntu, it will replace the mbr, thereby getting rid of the freebsd bootloader | 04:50 |
| GarryFre | progre55: system/preferences/appearance tab fartes to ther ight | 04:50 |
| progre55 | wgrant: there is no such menu here.. | 04:50 |
| ripps | !compiz |progre55 | 04:51 |
| ubottu | progre55: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 04:51 |
| Flannel | frederick85: well, you can dd zeros over your drive itself (that is sda not sda1) | 04:51 |
| thomasite | GarryFre, I don't know how to determine my soundcard. | 04:51 |
| _2 | edwardk can you pastebin the output of these three commands for me? lsmod ;lshw -C network 2>/dev/null ;ifconfig -a | 04:51 |
| NkZ830_ | My question was> I was trying to use the GRUB recovery method sugested by the ubot, but when I execute the line find /boot/grub/stage1 I get error 15: file not found. In addition to that, if I type "root (hd0,1)" I get a "selected disk does not exist" | 04:51 |
| wgrant | progre55: Erk, sorry, System->Preferences->Appearance, not Administration. | 04:51 |
| GarryFre | thomasite Does soundmax sound familiar? | 04:51 |
| progre55 | wgrant: oh got it, thanks man :) | 04:51 |
| thomasite | GarryFre: no. | 04:52 |
| ripps | NkZ830_: which disk/partition is your installation on? | 04:52 |
| rdw200169 | NkZ830_: at the commandline, if you type 'cat /boot/grub/device.map' it will show you which drives are mapped | 04:52 |
| NetEcho | so apparently using Updates Manager to update from hardy to intrepid is a very very bad thing to do, it removed everything rebooted my system and cripled it | 04:52 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: is that using grub-install? | 04:52 |
| progre55 | wgrant: cool, working :) and, how do you make a cube? holding ctrl? damn, i'm such a noob :) | 04:53 |
| wgrant | NetEcho: Had you used third-party repositories before? | 04:53 |
| genii | deever: Likely you need grub-efi | 04:53 |
| NkZ830_ | ripps: Win installation? | 04:53 |
| Flannel | frederick85: No, that'd just be using dd from a liveCD or whatnot. And then you'd reinstall grub through whatever means you prefer | 04:53 |
| wgrant | NetEcho: What in particular did it remove? | 04:53 |
| NetEcho | wgrant it was a fresh install of hardy | 04:53 |
| wgrant | !ccsm | progre55 | 04:53 |
| ubottu | progre55: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 04:53 |
| NetEcho | wgrant EVERYTHING | 04:53 |
| wgrant | NetEcho: EVERYTHING is wrong and useless. | 04:53 |
| NetEcho | it downloaded 200kb of stuff for the upgrade then removed over 500 packaged | 04:53 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: i'll try the dd but I havn't heard of this program before | 04:53 |
| NetEcho | wgrant I'm sorry it removed everything including the kernel | 04:53 |
| deever | genii: you mean efi-grub? | 04:54 |
| GarryFre | thomasite and I forgot how myself | 04:54 |
| wgrant | NetEcho: And... you let it? | 04:54 |
| ripps | NkZ830_: I just wanted to know if (hd0,1) was the right address. If you had a windows installation first, than it would be accurate. | 04:54 |
| brian__ | woods | 04:54 |
| NetEcho | wgrant I was following the upgrade procedures | 04:54 |
| NkZ830_ | ripps: Yes, I installed it 1st. It used to be there. | 04:54 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: I have important things on my drive | 04:54 |
| jim_p | goodmorning | 04:55 |
| NetEcho | someone should seriously remove the upgrade section right now considering it only does half the job, it removes hardy and doesn't add anything from intrepid it just deletes your install | 04:55 |
| NkZ830_ | Ripps: Even the partition manager recognizes my 1st HD is using NTFS, but I cant even mount it from linux, which is weird too. | 04:55 |
| progre55 | wgrant: thanks man :) | 04:55 |
| RonPaul | does anyone kno hen Intrepid Ibex is released? | 04:55 |
| wgrant | NetEcho: It works fine for most people. | 04:56 |
| jim_p | RonPaul: ibes is out 2 days now! | 04:56 |
| wgrant | NetEcho: I've never seen it do anything like that before. Logs would be nice. | 04:56 |
| genii | !info grub-efi | deever | 04:56 |
| NetEcho | wgrant the last 4 upgrades have worked fine for me as well | 04:56 |
| ubottu | deever: grub-efi (source: grub2): GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI version). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.96+20080512-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 738 kB, installed size 2160 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386 hurd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 powerpc ppc64) | 04:56 |
| RonPaul | it's been out? geez | 04:56 |
| _2 | GarryFre google didn't mention it because it's so elementry, all "linux" file systems have permissions/owner bits, and we just manipulate them as needed. chown and chmod are your friends on a linux fs. | 04:56 |
| NetEcho | wgrant how am I going to get logs when I can't even boot the system? | 04:56 |
| genii | deever: No | 04:56 |
| thomasite | Oh. | 04:56 |
| ripps | NkZ830_: Yeah... Ubuntu has native NTFS support. It sounds like something might be wrong with the ubuntu installation | 04:56 |
| Flannel | frederick85: Then don't do it. | 04:56 |
| wgrant | NetEcho: Live CD./ | 04:56 |
| jim_p | NkZ830_: does that ntfs drive come from a bad shutdown? | 04:56 |
| __mikem | RonPaul: do you think you have a chanse of winning the election :( | 04:56 |
| NetEcho | where am I looking? | 04:56 |
| __mikem | oh sorry, this is the suport channel | 04:56 |
| __mikem | wrong window | 04:57 |
| Flannel | frederick85: A previous bootloader shouldn't have anything to do with grubs ability to reinstall | 04:57 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: do you have a resource I could read up on to do this ? | 04:57 |
| GarryFre | Strangely, I have mucked with several versions of linux, never had to do chown before. /shrug | 04:57 |
| wgrant | NetEcho: /var/log/dist-upgrade | 04:57 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | anyone here use VNC?? from Windows -> Ubuntu???? | 04:57 |
| NetEcho | k wgrant gimme a few moments | 04:57 |
| RonPaul | mikem: nom but i have important things to say | 04:57 |
| Ruff | and help with nvidia geforce4 mx-4000 svideo to tv in ubuntu 8.10? | 04:57 |
| Flannel | !grub | frederick85, first link | 04:57 |
| GarryFre | I guess sites should keep in mind, only breething is too elementary to mention. | 04:57 |
| ubottu | frederick85, first link: 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 | 04:57 |
| NkZ830_ | jim_p: Negative to that. I Just booted from the 8.10 CD, installed and bang, GRUB messed up. | 04:57 |
| GarryFre | /say thomasite sudo lshw | 04:57 |
| _2 | GarryFre indeed hehhe | 04:57 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: I'm willing to do a fresh ubuntu install but It failed the previous time, I believe it has something to do with the freebsd bootloader | 04:58 |
| jim_p | NkZ830_: grub is irrelevant to ntfs not being read | 04:58 |
| NkZ830_ | I found something interesting, maybe this can help somewhat. | 04:58 |
| GarryFre | Sometimes I just feel crippled from the neck up. | 04:58 |
| jim_p | Ruff: searching for the option in xorg.conf? | 04:58 |
| Ruff | i can get it to output somethin to the tv, but its not desktop its distorted colors lol | 04:59 |
| NkZ830_ | When I got to Partition manager, information about /dev/sda1 it says "Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument | 04:59 |
| _2 | NkZ830_ can you define "GRUB messed up" for us ? | 04:59 |
| Ruff | and when i restart it says somethin bout xorg not being configured right | 04:59 |
| macvr | hi all..... i'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10>>> installation was uneventful, after restart i get this error> and the screen just locks there, i had the switch off using the hardware key>> | 04:59 |

| FloodBot3 | macvr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:59 |
| deever | genii: so with this i can install osx afterwards without destroying the ubuntu on the disk? | 05:00 |
| NetEcho | wgrant how do I use the livecd to boot the hdd so I can get at that? | 05:00 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | hmm | 05:00 |
| NkZ830_ | _2: Grub messed up could be defined as grub not showing the Win installation. | 05:00 |
| thomasite | GarryFre: I got many lines of output. Which do I need? | 05:00 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I upgraded to Intrepid and now my Firefox prefs are gone | 05:00 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | worst, they don't get rewritten | 05:00 |
| rdw200169 | Azhi_Dahaka: OH NO! | 05:00 |
| _2 | NkZ830_ ummm that's not really what i might call "messed up" but you can add it in the /boot/grub/menu.lst if you want. | 05:01 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | but not everything... the GUI configuration refuses to save | 05:01 |
| genii | deever: I do not know for certain. I would suggest to ask further about Apple ubuntu in #ubuntu-powerpc , they are specialised in this | 05:01 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | :S | 05:01 |
| rdw200169 | Azhi_Dahaka: did you have firefox 3 before? | 05:01 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | yep | 05:01 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | same version | 05:01 |
| FloodBot3 | Azhi_Dahaka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:01 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | same plugins (but the buttons are gone) | 05:01 |
| GarryFre | thomasite try sudo lshw > MyHardware and then try to open it with a text editor and find sound card. | 05:01 |
| RonPaul | can i use bittorrent to d/l Intrepid??? someone told me they did that and worked good | 05:01 |
| rdw200169 | Azhi_Dahaka: now i don't want to upgrade ;( | 05:01 |
| NkZ830_ | _2 Tried that from the grub itself, but It wouldn't even recognize my (hd0,1) | 05:01 |
| rdw200169 | Azhi_Dahaka: i'd be lost without my bookmarks! | 05:02 |
| macvr | hi all..... i'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10>>> installation was uneventful, after restart i get this error> and the screen just locks there, i had the switch off using the hardware key>> | 05:02 |
| macvr | <<< server authorization directory(daemon/serv auth dir) is set to '/var/lib/gdm' but is not owned by user106 & group 114. pls correct the ownership or GDM config & restart GDM >>> | 05:02 |
| NkZ830_ | It's like the drive is there, but it is not being read. | 05:02 |
| _2 | NkZ830_ you can also rebuild the menu.lst at any time. there is a script for it, sudo update-grub | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | RonPaul, there are torrents for all the .iso files | 05:02 |
| Ruff | RonPaul yes, i used torrent for intrepid and it installed no probs | 05:02 |
| deever | genii: ok, i'll try! thanks! :) | 05:02 |
| NkZ830_ | _2 Gonna try that right now. | 05:02 |
| vitamin-carrot | where can i find gnome do themes? | 05:02 |
| rere | rre | 05:02 |
| genii | deever: You're welcome | 05:02 |
| GarryFre | Oh nice, thanks I was trying to remember that sudo update-grub thing | 05:02 |
| RonPaul | tc | 05:02 |
| RonPaul | tx | 05:02 |
| rdw200169 | RonPaul: what most people say to do is get the alternate installation cd and use that for upgrading | 05:02 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | so, Anyone experienced something like that? | 05:02 |
| _2 | NkZ830_ the first "tried that" i meant manually add it, by hand in an editor, with the keyboard and all.... | 05:03 |
| Br4v3_bUtCh | hy | 05:03 |
| rdw200169 | RonPaul: b/c you can download it via Bittorrent | 05:03 |
| RonPaul | where is the best alternate install cd? | 05:03 |
| NkZ830_ | _2 That's what I meant. The whole "Press E to edit" and "Press B to Boot" thing. | 05:03 |
| rdw200169 | RonPaul: it's one of the options for .iso files; i.e. server edition, desktop, and alternate | 05:03 |
| ripps | !eyecandy |vitamin-carrot | 05:03 |
| sliverchair | what do you use for psp mp4 converter? | 05:03 |

| === jim_p_busy is now known as jim_p_ | ||
| GarryFre | I know when I first installed 8.10 I removed the disk after clicking the ok to restart, but it wanted me to wait till it got done reading from the cd to install grub, so it blew chunks | 05:04 |
| rdw200169 | RonPaul: apart from kubuntu, edubuntu, etc... | 05:04 |
| jim_p_ | ...and i got disconnected | 05:04 |
| _2 | NkZ830_ nope. not what i meant. i meant sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst <<< by hand. grub doesn't have to recognize a thing to boot it. bios does. | 05:04 |
| rdw200169 | RonPaul: the alternate is similar to the desktop, except it uses the classic debconf installer like ubuntu server | 05:04 |
| usser | sliverchair, ffmpeg or mencoder | 05:04 |
| NkZ830_ | _2 Let me see that | 05:04 |
| rdw200169 | RonPaul: and you can upgrade with it | 05:04 |

| wastedfluid-lap | rdw200169, I didn't do any manual installations.. | 05:05 |

| _2 | wastedfluid-lap ifup eth0 | 05:06 |
| rdw200169 | mnguyen: you can try installing from source | 05:06 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | all my computer are cowards and lame | 05:06 |
| jim_p_ | macvr: also "id username" to tell you in what groups your user is in | 05:06 |
| macvr | jim_p how do i do that? i'm on the live cd... it doesnt boot into the system | 05:06 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | they don't do anything by themselves :( | 05:06 |
| rdw200169 | mnguyen: i usually have good luck with vbox from source; not too many problems | 05:06 |
| Br4v3_bUtCh | hy | 05:06 |
| wastedfluid-lap | "ifup eth0" returns ignoring unknon interface. eth0=eth0 ? | 05:06 |
| jim_p_ | macvr: cant you boot to command line only? | 05:06 |
| rdw200169 | mnguyen: just use the svn checkout | 05:06 |
| macvr | jim_p how do i do that? | 05:06 |

| rdw200169 | wastedfluid-lap: speak in another window? | 05:07 |
| _2 | NkZ830_ yeah that's it, not commented out is it ? | 05:07 |
| wastedfluid-lap | jim_p, It's a 8500gt. | 05:07 |
| NkZ830_ | Nope, not with the # | 05:07 |
| wastedfluid-lap | rdw200169, sure. | 05:07 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | GOD, I hate this... | 05:08 |
| macvr | jim_p how do i do that? | 05:08 |
| jim_p_ | wastedfluid-lap: then its the bug :( about the network stuff, can you kill network manager and use that gnome network applet to set the network?? | 05:09 |

| frederick85 | How can I wipe my disk 100% clean | 05:09 |
| jim_p_ | macvr: sudo apt-get autoremove gdm --purge and after that sudo apt-get install gdm | 05:09 |
| rabiddachshund | What's it called when you hold alt and move a window? Is there a name for that? | 05:09 |
| jim_p_ | Azhi_Dahaka: what happened? | 05:09 |
| GarryFre | I want a computer that states errors and then says "Press Y to fix or C to continue reading dated material on Google" | 05:09 |
| frederick85 | for some reason I can't do that with the ubuntu installer | 05:09 |
| NkZ830_ | The dev "dev/sda1" does not have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device. Or the whole disk instead of a partition. | 05:09 |
| Cmclean | how to you completly nuke a secondary hard drive. It's screwed up from another computer. But I can't hurt my current partition... And I'll install Ubuntu on it later. | 05:09 |
| macvr | jim_p i mean how do i do it from the live cd? mount it at some point? | 05:10 |
| jim_p_ | rabiddachshund: grab and drag :P ? | 05:10 |
| NkZ830_ | It says "unable to read the contents of this partition" | 05:10 |
| genii | Cmclean: copy a bunch of zeros or random data to it | 05:10 |
| Flannel | Cmclean: use shred | 05:10 |
| rabiddachshund | Is there an equivalent for mac? | 05:10 |
| NkZ830_ | Maybe I just blew up windows sky high? | 05:10 |
| Cmclean | Umm K i'm like a noob so... English? | 05:10 |
| Flannel | Cmclean: Wait, you're just going to reinstall? Just... reformat it. | 05:10 |
| _2 | wastedfluid-lap example: ifconfig eth0 192.168.254.254 255.255.255.0 up | 05:10 |
| Cmclean | yesyesyes | 05:11 |
| Cmclean | I need to reformat | 05:11 |
| pawan | hi | 05:11 |
| Cmclean | but like it's REALLY SCREWED UP | 05:11 |
| GarryFre | Ye can't blow windows sky high ... it's too bloated | 05:11 |
| Flannel | Cmclean: there's no need to "wipe it clean" just fire up gparted and delete the partitions on it and recreate an ext3 one | 05:11 |
| pawan | unable to start xserver | 05:11 |
| _2 | Flannel ext3 partition ? | 05:11 |
| mkartic | hi, i tried installing 8.10 without a net connection, but it still keeps trying to download stuff. anyone knows a fix? | 05:11 |

| darksifer | i had partitioned my hdd into 3 partition. 1 for /, 1 for swap, and 1 for home. i had installed hardy. now i want to do a fresh install of ibex. i have format / and installed ibex but i think it updates only the hardy partion. i have tried many times to do a fresh installed but i cannot succeed. can someone advice me how to do this. plz | 05:12 |
| jim_p_ | macvr: boot to recovery mode | 05:13 |
| _2 | pawan dpkg | 05:13 |
| NkZ830_ | anyone knows a way around_ | 05:13 |
| genii | Cmclean: Considr downloading Ultimate Boot CD, burn and boot to it. Then do extensive diagnostics from the manufacturer of the drive to determine if hardware failure is happening. | 05:13 |
| Dabbu | i have downloaded ubuntu 8.10 iso file...how can i update my 8.04 | 05:13 |
| _2 | pawan what are you trying to do ? | 05:13 |
| Flannel | Cmclean: Try the alternate CD instead. Also, make sure the CD is burned correctly (check the integrity of it from the CD boot menu) | 05:13 |
| GarryFre | thomasite So you get no sound at all? | 05:13 |
| pawan | i was upgrading to 8.10 | 05:13 |
| Flannel | Dabbu: Alternate or Desktop? | 05:13 |
| pawan | i between power went off | 05:13 |
| jim_p_ | Cmclean: like low level format it? | 05:14 |
| Dabbu | Flannel:desktop | 05:14 |
| pawan | so now unabke to load xserver | 05:14 |
| _2 | pawan oh, ouch. dpkg --configure -a | 05:14 |
| pawan | stuck at command prompt | 05:14 |
| Flannel | pawan: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal) | 05:14 |
| macvr | jim_p ok...will ry from recovery mode>>> what about this error?>>>>>> Start-stop-daemon: unable to open pidfile '/var/run/klogd/kmsgpipe.pid' for writing : read only filesystem (Read only filesystem) :[failed] ,,, this comes before the gdm error? | 05:14 |
| Flannel | Dabbu: you need the alternate CD to upgrade | 05:14 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | Dabbu | 05:14 |
| ubottu | Dabbu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:14 |
| thomasite | GarryFre: I do. Rhythmbox is fine. It's only Totem that doesn't play sounds at all. | 05:14 |
| Cmclean | thanks but ill use another spare drive | 05:14 |
| Cmclean | I think it warned me to back it up cause it was going to crash and I guess it just did | 05:14 |
| jim_p_ | macvr: this means that the kernel was not able to write on the log | 05:15 |
| darksifer | i dont want to upgrade. and i want to do a fresh install | 05:15 |
| Cmclean | genii:sry | 05:15 |
| mkartic | Flannel: I've downloaded the alternate cd, but it still stalls if there's no net connection1 | 05:15 |
| _2 | pawan then do an sudo apt-get update ;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade || sudo apt-get install -f | 05:15 |
| Dabbu | Flannel: is there any way i can update from desktop CD | 05:15 |
| Flannel | Dabbu: just by reinstalling, no upgrading. | 05:15 |
| genii | Cmclean: Likely it is having SMART failure or so | 05:15 |
| jim_p_ | Dabbu: no :( oly alternative cd can do upgrading | 05:15 |
| thomasite | GarryFre: Apparently, VLC plays sounds. | 05:15 |
| macvr | jim_p it just stays at that screen for a long time too... it changes from the graphical progress bar to this screen ? should i just igrnoe this? | 05:16 |
| GarryFre | thomasite Ack! I remember having trouble with Totem, it was a pita, I would try using synaptic package manager and mark for reinstall totem and all other stuff with it | 05:16 |
| macvr | ignore? | 05:16 |
| eross | I don't know if it is gimp update or combo of that and 8.10 but... but... it totally recognized my graphire 6x8 tablet, and it draws much prettier than before | 05:16 |
| Dabbu | Flannel: can i update from the CD we get from SHIP IT | 05:16 |
| Flannel | Dabbu: unfortunately no, that also is the desktop CD | 05:17 |
| Tyrath | why can't you pipe like this: blah="GRRRR" | echo $blah ? | 05:17 |
| * _2 buys genii a coffee. | 05:17 | |
| jim_p_ | macvr: on recovery mode?! | 05:17 |
| Dabbu | Flannel: so they don't ship alternate cd...right | 05:17 |
| Tyrath | or can you blah="GRRRR" && echo $blah ? | 05:17 |

| jdsbluedev | hey, got a question about Intrepid and monitors. I just purchased a used LCD monitor from someone, and made sure it worked before taking it. I noticed that when the computer starts the "blank screen" screensaver, the screen goes blank, but never comes back when I move the mouse or press a key. I have to wait an hour with the monitor unhooked from the computer to get a screen back. Does anyone know why this is happening? | 05:19 |

| TheSHAD0W | Is there a page that compares all the different flavors of ubuntu? x/k/ubuntu/etc? | 05:20 |
| Tyrath | frybye: I think it tells you if you open a console | 05:20 |
| GarryFre | Often if my grup fails to boot I hit e and replace the number at boot (hd#,1) where # is the number i try, i then hit esc and hit b to try booting it | 05:20 |
| ldiamond_ | Does anyone know how to setup Wireless on a minimal install? | 05:20 |
| mkartic | hello? someone? :( | 05:21 |
| frybye | there is a command for the console I guess | 05:21 |
| _2 | Tyrath no. there are three basic conditions there, actually four. i'll enumerate. 1 ; 2 == run 1 then run 2 1 && 2 == run 1 and if it returns 0 run 2 1 || 2 == run 1 and if it returns non-zero run 2 1 & 2 == start 1 in the background and run 2 don't wait for 1 to end. | 05:21 |

| Tom_Davis | I need some help with ibex sound, its fail on installing ubuntu-desktop | 05:22 |
| Tyrath | frybye: look up the systems variables. You should be able to do echo $OPERATING_SYSTEM or something... - it probably won't be that tho | 05:22 |
| jim_p_ | mkartic: put the cd in and type sudo apt-cdrom add && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and forget insternet and stuff | 05:22 |
| frybye | Tyrath: just opening a console does not do it..? | 05:22 |
| Tom_Davis | it does beep through the soundcard when you hold a key down, so its functional | 05:22 |
| NkZ830_ | Grub won't recognize my Windows HD because it says "Error(22): Opening '/dev/sda1/' as NTFS failed: Invalid argument The device does not have a valid NTFS" how can I sold this? | 05:22 |
| Tyrath | frybye: bizarre. it does in ibex | 05:22 |
| genii | Dabbu: This picture can explain better http://i37.tinypic.com/29kw7s1.png | 05:22 |
| NkZ830_ | solve, actually, not sold. typo there. | 05:23 |
| mkartic | jim_p_: i can just mount the iso, and use it to the same effect right/ | 05:23 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | is there a way to export firefox bookmarks, history and passwords? I used an application on WIndows (MozBackup), but i don't know if there's something similar on Ubuntu | 05:23 |

| joshual | hi, can anyone help me get virtualbox folder sharing to work... I added the folder to share, then rebooted the guest machine (XP), tried adding a network place, I can browse to what appears to be the folder i had set up to share on my host machine (ubuntu) \\VBOXSVR\Downloads but I can't seem to add it as a place... | 05:24 |
| _2 | Tyrath here are some tests. you can play with on the command line. example1: true && echo 0 || echo 1+ #example2: false && echo 0 || echo 1+ #example3: sleep 1m & echo 0 ;echo 1+ ;fg | 05:24 |
| frybye | I had better look in goog. there is a command for it - just forgotten it.. | 05:24 |

| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| toastedmilk | xD | 05:28 |

| _2 | toastedmilk what kernel ? | 05:28 |
| _2 | toastedmilk uname -r | 05:28 |
| roshan | toastedmilk: to find out what kernel you're running enter "uname -r" without quotes in terminal | 05:29 |
| toastedmilk | already installed ati-driver-installer-8-10-x86.x86_64.run | 05:29 |

| toastedmilk | KERNEL 2.6.20-17-generic | 05:30 |
| toastedmilk | :) | 05:30 |
| _2 | toastedmilk and you installed the 64 bit driver ? | 05:30 |
| carbon_monoxide | greetings! anyone could assist on libz.so? | 05:30 |
| _2 | what am i missing there ? | 05:30 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | is there a way to export firefox bookmarks, history and passwords? I used an application on WIndows (MozBackup), but i don't know if there's something similar on Ubuntu | 05:30 |
| _2 | no wonder it wont work. | 05:30 |
| roshan | Azhi_Dahaka: try an extension known as foxmarks | 05:31 |
| toastedmilk | what do you mean no wonder it won't work?? | 05:31 |
| toastedmilk | I have a 64 bit motherboard | 05:31 |
| usser | Azhi_Dahaka, just copy your .mozilla folder | 05:31 |
| Tyrath | is there any way I can get a list of the system vars ? | 05:31 |
| jim_p | Azhi_Dahaka: there is a folder inside your home named .mozilla, back it up all of it | 05:31 |
| Guest45541 | Help, my keyboard is messing up... for some reason, it is "forcing" the keys "ctrl" and "alt", so when I press left or right, desktops automatically switch, and when I press "d", I end up on the desktop... etc | 05:31 |
| usser | Azhi_Dahaka, its ~/.mozilla to be precise | 05:31 |
| rdw200169 | Azhi_Dahaka: i agree, just backup .mozilla | 05:31 |
| jim_p | Azhi_Dahaka: and learn to use firefox with profiles | 05:31 |
| oorjha | Why was the displayconfig-gtk package removed ? I want it badly, what is the alternative ? | 05:31 |
| _2 | toastedmilk but the kernel. is the kernel 64 bit, i don't think so... | 05:31 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I use profiles | 05:32 |
| rdw200169 | Azhi_Dahaka: or, you can use bzr or svn to keep a versioned backup | 05:32 |
| toastedmilk | where can I get a 64 bit kernel? | 05:32 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | but I'm switching info from computers | 05:32 |
| toastedmilk | sorry I'm a stupid noob in linux | 05:32 |
| atmanvora | hey guys, i need to understand as how can i install new themes for my ubuntu 8.10 | 05:32 |
| _2 | someone correct me if i'm wrong but KERNEL 2.6.20-17-generic is not k8 is it ? | 05:32 |
| jim_p | oorjha: it was removed because the stupid xorg devs made the entire xorg.conf obsolete. so an app that can write xorg.conf is also obsolete | 05:32 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I don't want to update plugins config, just bookmarks history and pw | 05:32 |
| kewl1 | could someone please help me configuring 5.1 sound in intrepid ? | 05:32 |
| _2 | toastedmilk get the driver for the 32 bit kernel and try it. | 05:33 |
| jim_p | _2: no it isnt | 05:33 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | copying .mozilla will copy plugin config also | 05:33 |
| maxxist | _2 it is generic so it will run k8 | 05:33 |
| ldiamond_ | Does anyone know how to setup Wireless on a minimal install? | 05:33 |
| roshan | so i just installed intrepid ibex this morning and at the time i thought it was a good idea to put /home on a different partition that was about 900 mb big. however i wish to move /home to my / partition if possible anyone know how id do this? | 05:33 |
| frybye | Hi - how can I check to see which distro I am running right now?? | 05:33 |
| jim_p | roshan: do you have that other partition? | 05:33 |
| jim_p | Azhi_Dahaka: yes | 05:33 |
| frank23 | _2: I think generic replaced k8 and i686 a while ago | 05:33 |
| oorjha | jim_p, Now how do I make Ibex recognise my monitor with resolution 1280x760? | 05:33 |
| _2 | maxxist it's one kernel for 32 and 64 bit ? | 05:33 |
| dovel | oorjha: not sure there is an alternative - everything is supposed to be detected | 05:33 |
| roshan | jim_p do i have as in? | 05:33 |
| maxxist | _2 no 32 and 64 are different | 05:33 |
| roshan | they are all on one drive but multiple virtual partitions | 05:34 |
| chovy | is ubuntu.com running drupal? | 05:34 |
| jim_p | roshan: is that other partition ready, formeted to ext3 and mounted etc? | 05:34 |
| Tyrath | !system variables | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:34 |
| _2 | toastedmilk yes. remove the 64 bit driver and install the 32 bit. follow the wiki on how to | 05:34 |
| ziroday | chovy: ask on #ubuntu-website | 05:34 |
| Tyrath | !environment variables | 05:35 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:35 |
| roshan | jim_p: yes. my / partition is on sda6 and /home is on sda8. i think i might have to do something other than just copy and paste and something about fstab but im not sure b/c im pretty new | 05:35 |
| _2 | !ati > toastedmilk | 05:35 |
| kbp | yo! old question but could sumbody tell me which is the best theme for ubuntu, I just switched to Ubuntu from XP on yesterday so I'm very noob | 05:35 |
| ubottu | toastedmilk, please see my private message | 05:35 |
| jim_p | oorjha: i am sorry to say i dont know, but it will take me some months before i move to 8.10. until then i cant know about the new xorg "capabilities" | 05:35 |
| Tyrath | !info-dist | 05:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about info-dist | 05:35 |
| roshan | kbp: try darkroom it comes with 8.10 other wise check out gnomelookds | 05:35 |
| Guest45541 | Any idea what is wrong with the keyboard? | 05:35 |
| gonzo_ | yop | 05:35 |
| wolfie2x | this ubottu bot doen't know anything ;) | 05:35 |
| dovel | oorjha: there isn't a replacement - 8:10 seems ok for now, but i haven't done many installations of it yet | 05:35 |
| oorjha | dovel, Its not recognising by default, xorg.conf itself is not showing any details. | 05:35 |
| _2 | Tyrath what are you fishing for ? | 05:35 |
| roshan | kbp: sorry i meant to say gnomelooks | 05:36 |
| _2 | Tyrath lsb_release -a | 05:36 |
| kudi | hey can i burn a cd while on a live cd | 05:36 |
| dovel | oorjha: ye - the xorg.conf file is supposed to be pretty empty | 05:36 |
| kbp | roshan: I use 8.4, is it the same? | 05:36 |
| jim_p | roshan: then add this in fstab /dev/sda8 /home ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 05:36 |
| Guest45541 | How can I try "restarting" the keyboard? | 05:36 |
| Tyrath | _2: someone asked me how they know what distrubution they are on and I couldn't give them a solid answer. I responded that they could echo $SYSTEM_RELEASE or something but I didn't know what the bash var was | 05:36 |
| roshan | kbp: no its not, but you can check gnome looks and find a theme you like and install from there. there is alot to choose from | 05:36 |
| oorjha | jim_p, dovel , Thanks for your time, I am going back to Happy Heron | 05:36 |
| jim_p | roshan: i think you know how to do tge copying | 05:37 |
| dovel | oorjha: have you tried sudo dpkg -reconfigure... command you can find in xorg.conf? | 05:37 |
| _2 | toastedmilk about 9 years | 05:37 |
| kudi | hey can i burn a cd while on a live cd | 05:37 |
| genii | Guest45541: If it's USB unplug, wait 20 seconds, and replug it | 05:37 |
| _2 | Tyrath lsb_release -a | 05:37 |
| frank23 | kudi: if you have two cd drives, yes | 05:37 |
| roshan | jim_p: just copy /home from sda8 to sda 6 and then add those lines in fstab? | 05:37 |
| oorjha | dovel, I will attempt that and get back to you | 05:37 |
| Tyrath | _2: thanks. is that the only way? | 05:37 |
| Guest45541 | genii, it's a laptop keyboard :( | 05:37 |
| maxxist | kudi if you do let me know!! | 05:37 |
| kudi | lol | 05:37 |
| jim_p | dovel: unfortunately the dpkg-reconfigure stopped to make a proper xorg.conf months ago. stupid xorg devs! | 05:38 |
| _2 | Tyrath distrobution wise pretty much | 05:38 |
| kudi | i dnt think its possible | 05:38 |
| jim_p | roshan: is the partition already mounted? | 05:38 |
| genii | Guest45541: Is it responding at all ? eg: can you type on it and see the typing? | 05:38 |
| Tyrath | _2: ah k. cause the thing is I will forget about the lsb_release thing | 05:38 |
| dovel | jim_p: woops - gotta love that. How are we to configure old crt monitors easily? | 05:38 |
| kbp | roshan: ok! thanks alot ! sorry if I bother you again but how can I install it? (I've got a taz.gz file) | 05:38 |
| roshan | jim_p: i believe its mounted b/c i am currently using files from it in Desktop. also this what i have currently in fstab http://pastebin.com/m4abda231 | 05:39 |
| Guest45541 | genii: I can use it perfectly on a tty... if I am using the gui version (what you get when you press ctrl+alt+f7) then it "forces" the keys ctrl and alt | 05:39 |
| Tyrath | _2: oh I didn't realise lsb_release was a linux thing. my bad | 05:39 |
| maxxist | kudi I think it might be if you are able to mount a partition with an iso on it... | 05:39 |
| Tyrath | _2: I thought it was a ubuntu thing | 05:39 |
| dovel | jim_p: I guess it's back to writing everything into xorg.conf manually again... | 05:39 |
| roshan | kbp: you can go to the appearances option in ubuntu and go to the theme tab | 05:39 |
| roshan | kbp:then add or install i forget which | 05:39 |
| jim_p | dovel: there is also "X -configure" that must be run when X is not running. it can create a better xorg.conf | 05:39 |
| _2 | Tyrath lsb == linux standards base | 05:40 |
| Tyrath | _2: what's the difference between sh and bash then? | 05:40 |
| kudi | i cant even eject the live cd | 05:40 |
| Tyrath | _2: I know, I looked it up with --help | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | sh - is a smaller shell. :) | 05:40 |
| jim_p | roshan: then /home IS on a seperate partition now | 05:40 |
| kbp | roshan: ok thanks alot! I will have a play with it now | 05:40 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: do you mean by smaller that it's not as powerful? | 05:40 |
| dovel | jim_p: thanks - forgot that one. I do a lot of old pc's for international students and refugees - so lots of old monitors that don't detect well | 05:40 |
| oorjha | dovel, yes back to writing everything manually :( | 05:40 |
| roshan | jim_p yes i wish to move it to the / parttion b/c the partition it is currently on is small | 05:41 |
| toastedmilk | the ubuntu wiki doesn't cover feisty | 05:41 |
| _2 | Tyrath in most cases /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash. however /bin/sh is supposed to be 100% posix compliant. bash supports all of posix but adds a lot of fluff. | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, power is relative.. bash has more features.. its used as the users shell.. sh (is actually dash on ubuntu) is smaller in size/footprint but is still sh posix compliant. | 05:41 |
| mrkris | anyone run openvz on 8.10 ? | 05:41 |
| wolfie2x | anybody here with a DELL inspiron ? | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, sh is used as the system shell | 05:41 |
| paco_the_bot | hey is installing with Wubi different than literally install Ubuntu? | 05:41 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? | 05:41 |
| dovel | oorjha: did you read jim_p's comment to use X -configure? | 05:41 |
| wolfie2x | dr_willis: r u on a laptop | 05:41 |
| wolfie2x | ? | 05:41 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: ah k. cause the default shell on my release is bash | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | wolfie2x, i have one next to me with 8.10 in it | 05:42 |
| bingungaja | hi there, when i first install ibex in my notebook (not yet activated special effect), my totem is no issue playing dvd, but after I activated the special effect by typing "nvidia-xconfig" in the consule , my totem can't play dvd anymore, just freeze with no explanation http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1oa5.png Anyone can help me out please | 05:42 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, the default USER shell is bash. system shell should be dash | 05:42 |
| jdsbluedev | hi, I was the one in here talking about my monitor. Well, turns out using another screensaver helped to keep my screen. It's gotta be something about the "blank screen" screensaver, which I'd rather prefer. It needs to be fixed | 05:42 |
| maxxist | kudi good point. guess you need multiple cd drives also. | 05:42 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: ah k | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, ls -l /bin/sh | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-09-27 17:19 /bin/sh -> dash* | 05:42 |
| wolfie2x | dr_willis: is it normal to have a tight loop of keypress/keyrelease events in xev for media buttons ? | 05:42 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? | 05:42 |
| dovel | oorjha: what type of monitor are you having troubles with and what is the trouble? | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | wolfie2x, tight loop? never noticed them being tiht. | 05:43 |
| NetEcho | who maintains the installer, specifically the timezone portion of it? | 05:43 |
| _2 | Tyrath short and simple answer. any #!/bin/sh script will run in bash. not all #!/bin/bash scripts will run in sh the differance is commonly called "bashism" | 05:43 |
| Tyrath | _2: ah k | 05:43 |
| wolfie2x | dr_willis: it should just print a few entriesand stop right? | 05:43 |
| oorjha | dovel, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is not working as it used to be in hardy and previous releases.. It now completes in only 4 steps | 05:43 |
| wolfie2x | dr_willis: mine goes in a loop | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | wolfie2x, id think so | 05:43 |
| * Tyrath likes how dash doesn't show all the rubbish in terminal | 05:43 | |
| paco_the_bot | hello does anyone know about the Fish plugin for Compiz fusion? | 05:43 |
| Tyrath | like dash doesn't show ~ information | 05:43 |
| dovel | oorjha: what type of monitor are you having troubles with and what is the trouble? | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, rubbish? what rubbish? | 05:44 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: the ~ stuff | 05:44 |
| roshan | jim_p: at the moment while browsing in nautilus i see that /home is in the same folder structure as usual that is in /. how would i copy that from the sda8 partition to sda6 partition though? | 05:44 |
| oorjha | dovel, jim_p , I am using Viewsonic 17 inch widescreen with default resolution 1280x720 | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | for a user shell.. dash is so minimal its not very usefull at times | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, what ~ stuff? | 05:44 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? | 05:44 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: user@usercomputer~$: | 05:44 |
| paco_the_bot | dr_willis: can u help me? | 05:44 |
| Tom_Davis | I feel like such a bozo | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, bash is customizeable. - thats just the prompt... trivial to change that | 05:44 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, export PS1="" | 05:44 |
| Flannel | !separatehome | roshan | 05:44 |
| ubottu | roshan: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 05:44 |
| paco_the_bot | iv'e tried installing the Fish plugin for the Cube i have the newest UBuntu | 05:45 |
| Tyrath | k | 05:45 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | well, at leas Intrepid feels faster | 05:45 |
| Guest45541 | Help, my keyboard is messing up... for some reason, it is "forcing" the keys "ctrl" and "alt", so when I press left or right, desktops automatically switch, and when I press "d", I end up on the desktop... etc | 05:45 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? | 05:45 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I understand that line tells me I'm in ~ | 05:45 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | DAMN!!! IT UNINSTALLED MY OPENOFFICE!!! | 05:45 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: but what's the point in it oter than that? | 05:45 |
| _2 | Tyrath you can adjust your bash prompt anyway you like. export PS1='( this is now my custom bash prompt ) command \# ' | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, go read some bash prompt guides | 05:45 |
| jim_p | roshan: the sda8 partition is already mounted as /home. thats what fstab says | 05:45 |
| wolfie2x | Flannel: what's the advantage of having home folder in a separate part? | 05:45 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | God... WHY ME? Why does Shuttlework hates me??? | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, theres 10000's of things it can tell you | 05:45 |
| Flannel | wolfie2x: You can reinstall around it (reinstall your OS) without having to backup/restore your data/settings (you should still have backups, of course) | 05:46 |
| starkraving | hi, just upgraded to ibex, dell inspiron with bcm4328, now i've lost both wired and wireless network entirely, dropdown says 'no network connections' | 05:46 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? | 05:46 |
| dovel | oorjha: flatscreen or one of the old crt's? | 05:46 |
| _2 | Tyrath one thing i always setup is a different colour prompt if it's an ssh session. | 05:46 |
| Flannel | Azhi_Dahaka: so, just reinstall OOo | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, my promot -> --(willis@black)-(52/pts/0)-(0146/01-Nov-08)-- | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | --($:~/bin/prompts)-- | 05:47 |
| oorjha | dovel, flatscreen LCD, the problem is the horizontal and vertical syncs are not being detected automatically | 05:47 |
| geko | hi, I'm trying to write in Japanese. I already installed the language support and I have SCIM. I am able to write on oppenoffice and Text Editor but I'm not able to activate the input mode in Kopete(mostly all chat applications). Any idea why it might be? | 05:47 |
| roshan | jim_p i understand. i am trying to move /home from sda8 to sda6 which is the partition on which / is | 05:47 |
| wolfie2x | Flannel: but what happens to "." folders like .mozilla? wouldn't the old settings clash with new ones? | 05:47 |
| Guest45541 | Help, my keyboard is messing up... for some reason, it is "forcing" the keys "ctrl" and "alt", so when I press left or right, desktops automatically switch, and when I press "d", I end up on the desktop... etc | 05:47 |
| Tyrath | _2: that sounds handy. how could I do the same? | 05:47 |
| jim_p | roshan: can i pm you the procedure in terminal commands? | 05:47 |
| Flannel | wolfie2x: There are no new settings. Your old /home/ becomes your new /home/ there is only one /home/ Basically, picture the entire home folder living in a partition. And then you re-use that folder | 05:47 |
| _2 | [ ! -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ] &&\ | 05:47 |
| _2 | PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\l [\u@\h:\w]\[\033[00m\] ' ||\ | 05:47 |
| _2 | PS1='\l [\u@\h.\w] ' | 05:47 |
| roshan | jim_p yes please | 05:47 |
| Tyrath | can I ask in piping what '-' means ? | 05:48 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? | 05:48 |
| Tyrath | like for the file that gets the output (ie, after the pipe) usually a - is amended after it | 05:48 |
| wolfie2x | Flannel: i mean the application settings that are in the home folder.. | 05:48 |
| Flannel | wolfie2x: Indeed they are. | 05:48 |
| _2 | Tyrath drop that in your /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc you can customize it as you like. | 05:48 |
| Flannel | toastedmilk: You should upgrade, Feisty no longer recieves updates. | 05:48 |
| Tyrath | _2: sweet thanks | 05:49 |
| toastedmilk | downloading the ISO for 8.04 right now | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | 8.10 just came out toastedmilk :) if ya want the latest and greatest | 05:49 |
| AirstrikeIvanov | How do I find out my MAC address? | 05:50 |
| dovel | oorjha: run through the page at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=269052&highlight=1280 and see if that helps | 05:50 |
| toastedmilk | Sad thing is I have AMD Athlon 64 bit and ATI Raedon X1900, and no thanks I need stable for this poorly-cooled bitch | 05:50 |
| _2 | AirstrikeIvanov ifconfig | 05:50 |
| toastedmilk | xD | 05:50 |
| jim_p | AirstrikeIvanov: i think its somewhere in ifconfig | 05:50 |
| ldiamond_ | I want to setup Wireless in Ubuntu. What packages do I need^ | 05:50 |
| Tyrath | _2: if I export will the prior settings be commented out or will they be removed from the file? | 05:50 |
| yaptop | i'm trying to access a folder on my windows machine using samba but it's asking me to put in a username and password and my windows machine doesn't require a username/password to login | 05:50 |
| rdw200169 | AirstrikeIvanov: just type: "ip link" in the command line | 05:50 |
| asdfman1 | i tried the online resources... still unable to get my external hauppage tuner towrk | 05:51 |
| asdfman1 | any ideas? | 05:51 |
| toastedmilk | Anyone have thoughts on ubuntu in comparison to kubuntu or xubuntu? | 05:51 |
| rdw200169 | toastedmilk: it's just different window managers | 05:52 |
| _2 | Tyrath the variables are set in line order i.e. if you set blah and two lines later set blah again the first setting is replaced with the second. | 05:52 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | the new theme is awesome | 05:52 |
| starkraving | hi, just upgraded to ibex, dell inspiron with bcm4328, now i've lost both wired and wireless network entirely, dropdown says 'no network connections' | 05:52 |
| rdw200169 | toastedmilk: gnome/kde/xfce | 05:52 |
| toastedmilk | I'm aware of that...I was asking for your opinion | 05:52 |
| Tyrath | I might have a fiddle | 05:52 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | hate the coffee stain background, but the DarkRoom theme is cool | 05:52 |
| oorjha | dovel, I'm planning to run hardy live cd and make a backup of the xorg.conf there and pasting it back here, instead doing all those manual stuff, Would that work ? | 05:52 |
| toastedmilk | why you like gnome over kde or xfce, and whatnot. | 05:52 |
| Tyrath | ibex turned by graphic drivers off. any way I can turn them back on again? | 05:52 |
| jim_p | toastedmilk: ubuntu | 05:52 |
| guestguestnew | hi | 05:52 |
| toastedmilk | but WHY damnit!? :) | 05:52 |
| Flannel | toastedmilk: That question is best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:53 |
| guestguestnew | sometimes the window borders don't appear unless i click on them, with compiz turned on | 05:53 |
| dovel | oorjha: most likely | 05:53 |
| _2 | Tyrath as per exports. it's common practice to export all variables that are set within an rc file at one time at the end of the file. export PATH PS1 MY_SPECIAL_VARIABLE SHELL ... | 05:53 |
| rdw200169 | toastedmilk: OH! well, i prefer gnome | 05:53 |
| guestguestnew | can somebody help me? | 05:53 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: what's up? | 05:53 |
| ldiamond_ | I want to setup Wireless in Ubuntu. What packages do I need? | 05:53 |
| _2 | Tyrath doesn't have to be that way but that's common and clean. | 05:54 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | if only there was a DarkRoom for blubuntu... | 05:54 |
| toastedmilk | Again, I say, but WHY!? hahaha | 05:54 |
| oorjha | dovel, jim_p, Thanks for your time, booting hardy | 05:54 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: sometimes, the top window bar, where the windows name appears, does not show up | 05:54 |
| Flannel | toastedmilk: please take it elsewhere | 05:54 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: you're using compiz? | 05:54 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: yes | 05:54 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: wobbly windows and such | 05:54 |
| Tyrath | _2: I do program. and everytime I've made unclean code I've always ended up screwing it up. so best that I do follow protocol | 05:54 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: it's a compiz thing, i get it once in a while | 05:54 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: just the default features intrepid has on | 05:54 |
| ldiamond_ | toastedmilk, just get whatever, you can switch afterwards easily | 05:55 |
| toastedmilk | ...It was still a serious question. I was just asking why linux users would prefer gnome over kde or xfce, so by the answer I could judge what was safe for me to use for my computer. | 05:55 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: you can disable compiz, that'll fix it | 05:55 |
| toastedmilk | I know I can switch it was just a question! | 05:55 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | yes... hmm, sometimes it just happens with compiz, guestguestnew | 05:55 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: but i want compiz to be on? | 05:55 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: or you can try emerald, for drawing the window borders | 05:55 |
| Tyrath | _2: I've never learned C tho. Hence why I'm having trouble using bash and stuff. But I can see how bash is similar to PHP, which I have coded in | 05:55 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: how can i use emerald? | 05:55 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: apt-get install emerald | 05:55 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | toastedmilk: install all of them and then choose | 05:55 |
| ldiamond_ | Can anyone help me out setting up Wireless? I need to know what packages I'm missing | 05:55 |
| Flannel | toastedmilk: Yes, and its off topic for this channel. Please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:55 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: i've installed it already, but how do i activate it? | 05:55 |
| _2 | Tyrath heh, i'm totally unorthodox in that department. but then i am in most departments.... </offtopic> | 05:55 |
| toastedmilk | Fair enough. | 05:56 |
| Tyrath | lol | 05:56 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: they put an application in system->preferences->emerald theme manager | 05:56 |
| mrpockets | onay | 05:56 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: but you need, first, to enable emerald | 05:56 |
| mrpockets | LAST time i ask | 05:56 |
| Tyrath | _2: well I see you have an idea of how to use XML :P | 05:56 |
| mrpockets | wahts the command to upgrade? | 05:56 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: how do i enable it? | 05:56 |
| Tyrath | _2: re: </offtopic> :P | 05:56 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: ALT + F2 -> emerald --replace | 05:56 |
| toastedmilk | Anyone offering help uninstalling an ati 64bit driver and installing a 32bit driver in feisty? | 05:56 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: i can't remember the longterm fix | 05:57 |
| _2 | Tyrath heh yeah. not bad for a high school drop out ehh? | 05:57 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: i think though, after package installation, that it should automatically be loaded when you reboot | 05:57 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | i was expecting Intrepid to perform shitty slow | 06:00 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | but so far, it feels faster than Hardy | 06:00 |
| starkraving | hi, i just upgraded to intrepid, and now i've lost all my network connections, both wired and wireless. it says i have no network connections | 06:00 |
| Tyrath | Flannel: wait, do I have to type Bot after /msg ubuttu ? | 06:00 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: well, at least it seems to have fixed it, thanks. but how to i keep them from being transparent? | 06:00 |
| Peddy | How would I write a script that writes/alters a text file when a download in Firefox is finished? | 06:00 |

| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: the window border? | 06:00 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: yes | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | Peddy, coule have the script monitor the file.. then do somthing if it hasent changed for like 3 min.... | 06:01 |
| _2 | Peddy writes or alters ? | 06:01 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: well, you can install emerald-themes to try some of the different ones | 06:01 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: or, you can make your own that doesn't have transparency | 06:01 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: no, just /msg ubottu factoid | 06:01 |
| Peddy | _2: Alters | 06:01 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: just use the emerald theme manager | 06:01 |
| Peddy | _2: appends a message to a file, w/e. | 06:01 |
| _2 | Peddy sed 's=blah=boo=' file | 06:02 |

| Tyrath | Flannel: would you be able to help me with nvidia problems with ibex? | 06:02 |
| sfire | !torrents | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Intrepid can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). | 06:02 |
| _2 | Peddy you can put variables in there too | 06:02 |
| rdw200169 | guestguestnew: yes, i think so | 06:02 |
| Peddy | dr_willis: Preferably not, because the file would keep on changing as more is downloaded. | 06:02 |
| * Tyrath wishes every torrent didn't contain malicious content | 06:02 | |
| asdfman1 | anyone using a tv tuner from hauppage? | 06:02 |
| dr_willis | Peddy, i think ya need to clarify exactly what it is you are wanting to do.. i guess... | 06:03 |
| guestguestnew | rdw200169: thanks, i'll check it out | 06:03 |
| j3tt | hi. i just installed Intrepid. for some reason my monitor's native resolution (1680x1050) is not listed in the screen settings. (I have an ATI hd4850) | 06:03 |
| Peddy | _2: How would that monitor completed downloads? Sorry if it's a noob question :P | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | asdfman1, used the pvr150 from them under medibuntu. | 06:03 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: Nope, I'm not an X person | 06:03 |
| Peddy | dr_willis: When a download in Firefox is completed, I want a message to be appended to a text file on my harddrive. | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | Peddy, ya watch the file.. and if it stays the same for like 2 min.... then you could assume its done. :) | 06:03 |
| Tyrath | Flannel: would you know where I could go to fix my problem? | 06:03 |
| _2 | Peddy /join #bash <<< that's the correct channel for shell scripting quesions | 06:04 |
| _2 | t | 06:04 |
| Peddy | _2: cool, thanks :D | 06:04 |
| Peddy | I asked #firefox as well | 06:04 |
| ldiamond_ | asdfman1, check #mythtv-users many people there do | 06:04 |
| Flannel | Tyrath: check launchpad for bugreports (and/or release notes), those will be the most up to date at the moment. Also, this page has a number of other things: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/10/intrepid-update-faq.html some of which have to do with video drivers | 06:04 |
| starkraving | is there a better room to be in? i just upgraded my laptop to intreped and now i've lost all my network connections, both wired and wireless | 06:05 |
| asdfman1 | ok, thanks dr_willis and ldiamond_ | 06:05 |
| rdw200169 | starkraving: i'm pretty good at networking, i think i can help | 06:05 |
| starkraving | @rdw, thanks! | 06:05 |
| droopsta915 | how can i end a process that's uninterruptible ? | 06:05 |
| _2 | Peddy the simple answer is use the script as a wrapper for your download process. and if that sounds like geek to you. let them explain. | 06:05 |
| LORDWicho | Buenas a todos | 06:06 |
| rdw200169 | starkraving: i tried to msg you but it says you're away | 06:06 |
| _2 | yeah howdy | 06:06 |
| Peddy | _2, I understand, but I'd rather it monitors the download and automatically does the txt file thing | 06:06 |

| _2 | Peddy there are ways. i just dont want to devise one right now. colour me lazy, but it's shabbat | 06:07 |

| dr_willis | Peddy, http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2004/12/16/fam.html check out fam | 06:10 |
| frederick85 | can you still perform dist upgrades using apt? | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | Peddy, may be a bit overkill for your needs. :) | 06:10 |
| zerothis | does xubuntu include an easy way to see current disk usage? (not just current free space)? | 06:10 |
| Flannel | frederick85: yes. update-manager just streamlines the process. | 06:11 |
| rsmith | is unison still provided for Ubuntu? I installed 8.10, but it's not in the repositories | 06:11 |
| Flannel | zerothis: Does xubntu include baobab? (you could always install it) | 06:11 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: when i click on system, about ubuntu it says I have 8.04 installed still | 06:11 |
| Tyrath | is there any way to set the terminal header to the application that's running? | 06:12 |
| Peddy | dr_willis: It sure is, but it could be useful in other situations. And it needs to be more tightly integrated with Firefox, e.g. it works for all downloads, not only one. I'm going to look for a FF plugin. | 06:12 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, yes... with the proper bash prompt. :) | 06:12 |
| Flannel | frederick85: What makes you think you don't? | 06:12 |
| Seisatsu | hi | 06:12 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: I was trying to install 8.10 with apt | 06:12 |
| Seisatsu | how do I install a command line only intrepid system? | 06:12 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: which is? | 06:12 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, check the bash-prompt-howto for such examples | 06:12 |
| Flannel | frederick85: Alright, what have you done so far? | 06:12 |
| Flannel | Seisatsu: you need an alternate CD or a server CD | 06:12 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: where, it terminal? | 06:12 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:13 |
| Seisatsu | the alternate CD doesn't have the CLI option. | 06:13 |
| Tyrath | it = terminal | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, they print 'escape codes' that sets the terminal title. | 06:13 |
| Tyrath | it = in | 06:13 |
| Flannel | Seisatsu: yes it does. hit f4 or f5 and its in there. | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, its a howto documentation. :) google for 'bash prompt howto; | 06:13 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: ah k thanks | 06:13 |
| Seisatsu | ah. It used to be on front. >> | 06:13 |
| Flannel | frederick85: Without any modifications? That won't move you from Hardy to intrepid, just make sure your hardy is up to date | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, note that some tricks may only work withs pecific terminal programs. | 06:13 |
| Flannel | Seisatsu: yes, was removed for confusion purposes ("Install a command line system" vs "Install a system via the command line" etc) | 06:14 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: I'm just using my knowledge from previous editions | 06:14 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: i'll find out how to to a upgrade then | 06:14 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | beryl is the same as emerald? | 06:14 |
| Flannel | frederick85: That's not how you used to upgrade either. Or at least, not all of it. | 06:14 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I know that not-software wise it is... but it could be a fork, so... | 06:14 |
| sfire | I made the mistake of installing Xen on my machine.. I have tried to remove it and think I have it removed.. However it keeps trying to update the xen kernel.. how do I remove this permanently from the upgrade list? | 06:14 |
| * Tyrath wonders how people survive webpages with distributions with no GUI | 06:14 | |
| Flannel | frederick85: First, make sure you have your metapackages installed (ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, your kernel metapackage (linux-generic probably) and your appropriate desktop metapackages. | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, you can get web browsers for the console. some can even do graphics | 06:15 |
| Flannel | Seisatsu: Have you removed the xen kernel? | 06:15 |
| Flannel | er, sfire ^ | 06:15 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I've got lynx but it doesn't do javascript | 06:15 |
| zerothis | Flannel:nope. boabab not present. and I don't have the space for it (unless I lose irc chat:). I have xubuntu installed on a flood damaged 286 omnibook (I think thats what it was). I'm not sure what the drive is, its rusted and barely recognizable | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, theres other web browsers for the console that might | 06:15 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: or https for that matter | 06:15 |
| Flannel | frederick85: Once you've done that, open up your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) and change all of the "hardy"s to "intrepid"s, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:16 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: does your version have a GUI? | 06:16 |
| frederick85 | Flannel: thankyou very much mate | 06:16 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: i mean does your dist have a GUI? | 06:16 |
| Flannel | zerothis: ah, you just need some way to see usage? df -h isn't doing it? or what? | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, most all disrtos come with X :) | 06:16 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: in that case what's the different between ubuntu kubuntu and xubuntu? | 06:17 |
| yell0w | hey guys ubuntu can be run on the intel macbooks right ? | 06:17 |
| yell0w | just making sure | 06:17 |
| zerothis | Flannel: df -h did it! thanks | 06:17 |
| Flannel | yell0w: Yep | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, havent done any research eh? One has kde, one has gnome, other uses xfce | 06:17 |
| jim_p | yell0w: the ppc version probably | 06:17 |
| ldiamond_ | I need help installing Wireless. Can anyone help me out^ | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | !kubuntu | Tyrath | 06:17 |
| ubottu | Tyrath: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 06:17 |
| yell0w | jim_p: no i'm asking the intel version | 06:17 |
| jim_p | ldiamond: hit it! | 06:17 |
| CITguy08 | How are the servers handling today? | 06:17 |
| jim_p | yell0w: then yes | 06:17 |
| Flannel | !macbook | yell0w | 06:18 |

| yell0w | ahh thanks Flannel | 06:18 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: and does KDE, Gnome and X all have their personal advanatages? | 06:18 |
| c0mp13371331337 | I'd like to integrate a vertial panel with a window list with my desktop background, in such a way that the transparent list will be sitting on top of a custom background, each window button falling within a particular spot on the background image. However, the height of the window list buttons changes as windows are added or taken away. Is there any way to hard-set the size of the buttons? | 06:18 |
| yell0w | that's exactly what i want to do | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, of course. | 06:18 |
| jim_p | Tyrath: yes .... | 06:18 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I thought ubuntu had X? | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, they all got X. | 06:18 |
| leeping2007 | Hey there, I'm trying to use "rsync" to sync two directories, but I want to only rsync the executable files. is there an easy way to do this? Thanks! :) | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, X is the foundataion for the GUI | 06:18 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: so then Xubuntu has the least functionality? | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, not really | 06:19 |
| jim_p | c0mp13371331337: the size of the buttons on the taskbar? | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, just install xubuntu-desktop and try xfce if you want to know. | 06:19 |
| c0mp13371331337 | jim_p: Exactly | 06:19 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I'd rather not. bandwidth :/ | 06:19 |
| frederick85 | xubuntu is quite nice | 06:19 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: besides installing ibex took ages | 06:19 |
| zerothis | xubuntu is great if you don't like your operating system interfering with your apps. | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | I tend to use Rox-Filer+jwm :) | 06:20 |
| toastedmilk | Anyone offering help uninstalling an ati 64bit driver and installing a 32bit driver in feisty? | 06:20 |
| frederick85 | my sister uses xubuntu on an old laptop, makes it feel as if it is fast | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | toastedmilk, you are using the 32bit disrto or 64bit disrto? | 06:20 |
| Peddy | Hi. I got a DBus plugin for Firefox that notifies when downloads are complete; I want to write a script that is executed when the DBus signal from FF is received. Could someone please help me with this? | 06:21 |
| toastedmilk | what is distro? | 06:21 |
| admin_masu3701 | how can i install yahoo messenger on ubuntu? | 06:21 |
| jim_p | c0mp13371331337: you can set the size of the panel and from the theme'e .gtkrc to change aspects like icon size on the button etc. can you please make a sketch for me to see what you mean? | 06:21 |
| lequytho | gfgdg | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | toastedmilk, what version of Ubuntu/relase did you install? Your question makes little sence since i dont think you can install 64bit drivers on a 32bit os. | 06:22 |
| zerothis | admin_masu3701: pidgin does yahho chat. and there's an old crippled Yahoo Messenger available on the Yahoo Site (offical Yahoo Messenger for 'UNIX') | 06:22 |
| toastedmilk | 2.6.20-17-generic | 06:22 |
| jim_p | toastedmilk: thats a long explanation. in general a disto is how a linux developer thinks linux must be. an opinion, a point of view | 06:22 |
| waan | I'm 280MB short for upgrading to intrepid, what would be the easiest solution. I don't have a livecd to resize the partition | 06:22 |
| jim_p | admin_masu3701: no. use pidgin | 06:22 |
| toastedmilk | it's feisty fawn | 06:22 |
| toastedmilk | 2.6.20-17-generic | 06:23 |
| guestguestnew | help, how do i log in as root in intrepid? | 06:23 |
| sfire | waan: go remove all the archives for adept.. that should do it | 06:23 |
| Flannel | guestguestnew: don't. Use sudo instead. | 06:23 |
| waan | sfire: I | 06:23 |
| jim_p | waan: how big is the upgrade in mb? | 06:23 |
| toastedmilk | It's just the live cd my roommate had, and I bought a new hdd and didn't want to buy another copy of windows | 06:23 |
| c0mp13371331337 | jim_p: Well, the panel is on the side of the screen, so the buttons for the window list are horizontal, one on top of the other. If there's only one window in the list, it's a very tall button. If there are many windows, the height of each button gets shorter. | 06:23 |
| nomad77 | admin_masu3701: gyachi does yahoo chat/video but not sure if its apt-gettable. | 06:23 |
| guestguestnew | Flannel: ok, but can i at least know how? | 06:23 |
| waan | jim_p: sfire: I've done an apt clean, total size is 1530mb | 06:23 |
| zerothis | admin_masu3701: also, there's another buggy app that I can't remember the name. It does Yahoo Messenger with some added features even, But its really buggy | 06:23 |
| Flannel | guestguestnew: You don't. the root account is locked. It's impossible to log in by default. | 06:24 |
| admin_masu3701 | isnt pidgin for AIM? | 06:24 |
| guestguestnew | Flannel: thats weird? | 06:24 |
| Flannel | guestguestnew: Not really, no. | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | toastedmilk, i suggest getting a newer version of ubuntu. that one is Quite old. | 06:24 |
| ziroday | !root | guestguestnew | 06:24 |
| ubottu | guestguestnew: 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 | 06:24 |
| toastedmilk | I'm downloading the iso for 8.04 | 06:24 |
| zerothis | admin_masu3701: Pidgin does _EVERYTHING_ | 06:24 |
| jim_p | c0mp13371331337: yes, i understood that. buttons rearange themselves to make space. if you want more buttons, make a thicker panel | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | toastedmilk, why not 8.10 ? it just came out. | 06:24 |
| toastedmilk | I don't want to risk 8.10 because I have AMD Athlon 64 and ATI Raedon X1900, with poor cooling | 06:25 |
| jim_p | zerothis: except for fast transfers and camera and mic supoport | 06:25 |
| Flannel | toastedmilk: Hardy is a fine choice. And LTS too. | 06:25 |
| nomad77 | ayttm for text-only is about it hort of trying windows msgr in wine | 06:25 |
| ldiamond_ | What package do I need to make my wireless work??? | 06:25 |
| kebomix | Godd Morning friends :) | 06:25 |
| ziroday | ldiamond_: what wireless card do you have? | 06:25 |
| toastedmilk | Plus I don't know anything about linux, so LTS sounds good for me | 06:25 |
| jim_p | ldiamond_: what is your wireless?!?!? | 06:25 |
| * dr_willis dosent see why thats a 'risk' ? | 06:25 | |
| kebomix | Good* | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | :) | 06:25 |
| Petester | hello... | 06:25 |

| Petester | is anybody here that can help me with my wireless card? | 06:26 |

| c0mp13371331337 | jim_p: columns of buttons I'm not worried about. The panel is fairly wide and has unobstructed access to 1200 pixels on the side of the screen. But I'd like to make the height of each window in the window list the same, regardless of how many there are. | 06:26 |
| ldiamond_ | jim_p, nothing is output | 06:26 |
| Flannel | toastedmilk: You just prefix their name on the line (tab complete makes it easier), the clients do whatever they want (irssi makes them yellow) | 06:26 |
| Petester | @ziroday: I have an Acer 4520, I guess the model is Atheros AR5007EG | 06:27 |
| guestguestnew | legend2440 thanks legend! but how do i log into the root account? hoping its possible | 06:27 |
| jim_p | hold it guys one at a time!!! | 06:27 |
| keisangi | quit the beta/unstable to go stable/release | 06:27 |
| ziroday | keisangi: if you kept your system updated then it should all be done automatically | 06:27 |
| Flannel | keisangi: Just regular updates will get you there. | 06:27 |
| ziroday | Petester: one sec pleae | 06:27 |
| Petester | thanks =) | 06:27 |
| jim_p | ldiamond_: then the module got loaded successfully. try a wireless scan | 06:27 |
| kebomix | i need all who tried intrepid to tell me their opnions on it :) ? | 06:27 |
| keisangi | Flannel, ziroday ok thanks :) | 06:27 |
| jim_p | waan: what to do with it? virtualization! | 06:28 |
| Petester | lol... 1373 users in the room... if it was 1337 it would have been so cool | 06:28 |
| ldiamond_ | jim_p, how do I try a wireless scan? | 06:28 |
| waan | jim_p: I mean, could I use that to add to / somehow, so I can upgrade | 06:28 |
| kebomix | jim_p: are your good in jimp ? , and how can i learn it good , any good books ? | 06:28 |
| jim_p | c0mp13371331337: i dont think this is possible. the panel has the habbit of giving as much space as it can | 06:28 |
| jim_p | kebomix: in gimp?? no. in photoshop only | 06:29 |
| ldiamond_ | jim_p, When I go in my network manager, I only see eth0 and lo | 06:29 |
| _2 | surf raw. wget -qt 3 -O - $url_here | tml2text | fold -s | less | 06:29 |
| ChrisBookwood | How, whats the default permission-set for a file? (digits) | 06:29 |
| kebomix | jim_p: i know about photoshop , and i want to learn about gimp , and i cant find tutorials or any books ! | 06:30 |
| ChrisBookwood | hey** | 06:30 |
| jim_p | ldiamond_: open a terminal sudo network-admin is the wireless interface there? | 06:30 |
| c0mp13371331337 | jim_p: Blagr, I was afraid of that. Thanks though! | 06:30 |
| Petester | my bad | 06:30 |
| _2 | ChrisBookwood 644 unless it's executable then its 755 | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | Ive seen lots of tutorials on gimp... and i even got a book or 2 on it. :) they are a bit old now.. but still... | 06:30 |
| ChrisBookwood | _2: thanks | 06:30 |
| jim_p | kebomix: you can look for tutorials in deviantart.com | 06:30 |
| ldiamond_ | command not found (I made a minimal install) | 06:30 |
| ziroday | Petester: it appears that you have the same card as the eeepc and these instructions should work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Wireless | 06:30 |
| ldiamond_ | ill apt get | 06:30 |
| ldiamond_ | no such package | 06:31 |
| nomad77 | /cl/cl | 06:31 |
| omkar | kde environment is not supported | 06:31 |
| oDev | how can i disable floppy drive in ubuntu? | 06:31 |
| Petester | thanks, I will have a look | 06:31 |
| omkar | wahts the reason guys | 06:31 |
| Petester | the really strange thing is | 06:31 |
| omkar | I have Intel 3 Ghz Cpu with 1 Gb of ram | 06:31 |
| omkar | Ram | 06:31 |
| Petester | i have the driver instaleld in ndiswrapper and modprobe'd | 06:31 |
| omkar | n I have 256 mb of external graphics card | 06:31 |
| Petester | but there is no wlan0 when i do iwconfig | 06:31 |
| ziroday | Petester: was about to recommend ndiswrapper as well | 06:31 |
| omkar | hey guys plz help me | 06:31 |
| ziroday | Petester: can you pastebin ifconfig -a please | 06:31 |
| jim_p | waan: 6GB upgrade?!?!?! better download the alternative cd to make the upgrade and install the rest online | 06:31 |
| omkar | why the KDE environment isn't supported | 06:31 |
| ziroday | omkar: in #kubuntu please | 06:32 |
| gusx_ | ldapwhoami dont use the specified SASL_MECH GSSAPI configured in ldap.conf ... anyone knows why ? | 06:32 |
| Flannel | omkar: It is supported | 06:32 |
| omkar | okay | 06:32 |
| omkar | bye | 06:32 |
| BlackMetal | kebomix: http://gimp-tutorials.net/ http://gimpology.com/ | 06:32 |
| BlackMetal | time to sleep now | 06:32 |
| BlackMetal | godd bye | 06:32 |
| waan | jim_p: lol no its 1580mb, but I only have 1.3gb free | 06:32 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: i'm pretty mad at ldap right now | 06:32 |
| maco | Petester: only a few of them call it wlan0 | 06:32 |
| jim_p | ldiamond_: sorry, i didnt know you did a minimal install. | 06:32 |
| maco | Petester: intel does, but atheros is ath0, and many others are eth1 | 06:32 |
| gusx_ | im mad at sasl | 06:32 |
| NetLarIrvine | Can you update to 8.10 through the Update Manager?? | 06:32 |
| maco | NetLarIrvine: yes | 06:32 |
| NetLarIrvine | From 8.04? | 06:32 |
| maco | NetLarIrvine: yes | 06:32 |
| jim_p | waan: better with the alternative cd | 06:32 |
| NetLarIrvine | k, thanks | 06:32 |
| maco | NetLarIrvine: the update manager should be offering | 06:33 |
| Petester | there isnt ath0 either though... in iwconfig there is only lo, eth0 and pan0 | 06:33 |
| macvr | hi all.... i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 , now i'm not able to start my system in normal mode... it says >> COULD NOT START THE X SERVER DUE TO SOME INTERNAL ERROR... PREVIOUSLY I HAD A SERVER AUTHORIZATION DIRECTORY ERROR that said /var/lib/gdm was not owned by user 106 & group 114, i reinstalled the gdm via recovery... now i'm stuck at the above error... how do i correct this ? | 06:33 |
| maco | Petester: is it pan0 then maybe? | 06:33 |
| gusx_ | u know debian works fine but in ubuntu 7.10 the parameter is ignored | 06:33 |
| Petester | @ziroday.. one sec | 06:33 |
| maco | Petester: ath0 is for atheros only, i said. if it was atheros, you wouldnt need ndiswrapper | 06:33 |
| ziroday | Petester: yep | 06:33 |
| NetLarIrvine | YOu have to update twice right?, once for the regular updates, then one more time to get the latest version of Ubuntu? | 06:33 |
| waan | jim_p: I'm upgrading with the package manager.. | 06:33 |
| Petester | pan0: no wireless extensions | 06:33 |
| gusx_ | the only way is using -Y option | 06:33 |
| maco | NetLarIrvine: yes | 06:33 |
| Petester | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Wireless | 06:34 |
| Petester | ops | 06:34 |

| NetLarIrvine | k, thanks, that is kind of what I thought | 06:34 |
| jim_p | waan: you will download the iso, mount it somehow and use it as an upgrade source sudo apt-cdrom add | 06:34 |
| ziroday | maco: Petester you shouldn't need ndiswrapper for atheros cards however it should still work. I recommend you remove ndiswrapper and follow the instructions I gave you earlier | 06:34 |
| pawan | hi | 06:34 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: then there's the whole cn=config thing, with the pain related to loading schemas | 06:34 |
| pawan | unable to load nvidia drivers on ibex | 06:34 |
| === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix-da-catz | ||
| pawan | geforce fx 5200 | 06:34 |
| waan | jim_p: how does that use less space though, wouldn't it install the same packages? | 06:34 |
| ziroday | Petester: put it in #flood or pastebin.com | 06:34 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: which nvidia package are you trying to install | 06:34 |
| Petester | i tried to post ifconfig -a but i got a flood warning | 06:35 |
| pawan | through hardware drivers | 06:35 |
| maco | Petester: pastebin | 06:35 |
| NetLarIrvine | Is 8.10 way better than 8.04?? | 06:35 |
| rdw200169 | !pastebin | 06:35 |
| 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) | 06:35 |
| jim_p | waan: depends on what you have already installed | 06:35 |
| gusx_ | rdw200169: u know if is there a way to specify the preferred method of the slapd service ? | 06:35 |
| ziroday | Petester: yes, you are not allowed to post large blocks of text in this channel. Either put it in flood or pastebin.com | 06:35 |
| maco | NetLarIrvine: depends on your hardware | 06:35 |
| pawan | how to intall | 06:35 |
| jim_p | NetLarIrvine: time will tell | 06:35 |
| Petester | http://pastebin.com/d4d8dbb27 | 06:35 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: what do you mean? | 06:35 |
| NetLarIrvine | Laptop, dell | 06:35 |
| Petester | my bad | 06:35 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: you could try installing through the command line | 06:36 |
| waan | jim_p: ok i could probably remove 250mb of apps I suppose | 06:36 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: or synaptic | 06:36 |
| pawan | how | 06:36 |
| bill | hi there! every times i activate compiz, every video i play blink and try to stay on top of every other windows (not always on top option!!) 8.10 $ HD4850 | 06:36 |
| ziroday | Petester: okay there is no wireless devices there in ifconfig -a. You can try to fix ndiswrapper or remove it and follow the link I gave you earlier | 06:36 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 06:36 |
| Petester | alright | 06:36 |
| Petester | thanks a lot ziroday | 06:36 |
| Petester | i will try it now and come back to yu guys later | 06:37 |
| jim_p | waan: yea but thats not a solution | 06:37 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig | 06:37 |
| waan | jim_p: yeah but atleast I can upgrade and fix it later | 06:37 |
| gusx_ | rdw200169: in the man pages of xxx utils in the -Y option says "it’s not specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows" | 06:37 |
| felix-da-catz | I want to upgrade to ubuntu 8.10. I have a large /home/ folder and want to know how I should back it up. I am going to start from scratch so I want to clean as much unneeded junk and just add stuff when I need it instead of cruising through. Would it be ok if I just backup my whole home folder and replace it back, or should I worry about junk and what is the best way to avoid putting bad stuff back on my system. | 06:38 |
| jim_p | waan: your call | 06:38 |
| pawan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65556/ | 06:38 |
| felix-da-catz | s/cruising through/cruising through synaptic | 06:38 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: you mean, the authentication mechanism? | 06:38 |
| sfire | felix-da-catz: is the /home/ a separate partition or just a folder? | 06:38 |
| waan | jim_p: what if I mounted my spare partition to /tmp, would that make enough space for the downloaded files to sit? | 06:39 |
| felix-da-catz | No, I just did automatic partitioning. I am going to set my own this time. | 06:39 |
| ziroday | felix-da-catz: if you don't want to keep your settings you can just copy all the non hidden folders in ~. If you need to keep your settings then backup all the hidden folders as well but this may cause issues | 06:39 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: then, to enable the new nvidia driver in X, run | 06:39 |
| gusx_ | using ldapsearch fo the salsmechasnis advertised by the server via rootDSE GSSAPI i got supportedSASLMechanisms: DIGEST-MD5 | 06:39 |
| sfire | felix-da-catz: USB drive then.. or another hard drive (thats what I would recommend) | 06:39 |
| gusx_ | supportedSASLMechanisms: CRAM-MD5 | 06:39 |
| gusx_ | supportedSASLMechanisms: GSSAPI | 06:39 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 06:39 |
| gusx_ | supportedSASLMechanisms: NTLM | 06:39 |
| FloodBot3 | gusx_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:39 |
| felix-da-catz | So it would be best for me to go through all of the ~ if I want to save anything important. | 06:39 |
| felix-da-catz | .~ | 06:39 |
| jim_p | waan: i am not sure that the files are placed in /tmp | 06:39 |
| gusx_ | so using ldapwhoamin with my ticket it keeps asking for password via DIGEST-MD5 | 06:40 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: what a pain! | 06:40 |
| felix-da-catz | sfire: Well I have a place to back it all up, but are you talking about permanently putting my /home/ directory on a USB or another harddrive? | 06:40 |
| pawan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65558/ | 06:40 |
| waan | jim_p: but that would work in theory if I found the right place, and used another disk for the upgrade files? | 06:40 |
| sfire | felix-da-catz: no.. just until you get the PC all reconfigured.. then copying it all back | 06:40 |
| ziroday | felix-da-catz: after a fresh install, everything in your home folder will be overwritten. If you have any thing in there you want to save you shuld | 06:40 |
| gusx_ | was asking in #Ldap channel , but nobody answere | 06:40 |
| felix-da-catz | sfire: Ok, I wasn't quite sure what you were recommending. | 06:41 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: good; now you need to restart your computer | 06:41 |
| pawan | ok | 06:41 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: hopefully, if there aren't any problems with the nvidia driver, it should boot to the login window, etc... | 06:41 |
| felix-da-catz | ziroday: I understood that I needed to back it up, I was more worried about replacing it on my system. | 06:41 |
| pawan | ok i try | 06:41 |
| rdw200169 | pawan, otherwise, remember what it said about the old xorg.conf file | 06:41 |
| felix-da-catz | You both have been big help. Thanks guys | 06:41 |
| rdw200169 | you might have to switch it back to the old config if there's a problem | 06:42 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: do you know how to do that? | 06:42 |
| kebomix | i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 , and cant find network manager in top bar !!!!?! | 06:42 |
| sat | hii all | 06:42 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | hi | 06:42 |
| ziroday | felix-da-catz: oh right, you can copy across normal (non hidden) folders just fine. Settings (hidden folders) can cause issues | 06:42 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: yeah, i don't know either | 06:42 |
| jim_p | waan: they are stored in /var/cache/apt | 06:42 |
| Xime | hi | 06:43 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: i'm usually just happy when i can figure out how to get the darn ldap thing working the way i want it to | 06:43 |
| ziroday | kebomix: try running "nm-applet" in the command line | 06:43 |
| Xime | how can I make it so I can access /dev/sdba without root? | 06:43 |
| waan | jim_p: ok i'll give that a shot and see if it gives me enough space to upgrade | 06:43 |
| jim_p | waan: !!! idea!!! why dont you empty that cache to make space? sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean | 06:43 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: i haven't even tried to figure out how to get it working with tickets and kerberos and all that | 06:43 |
| legend2440 | kebomix: right click panel and add notification area | 06:43 |
| kebomix | ok | 06:43 |
| kebomix | this is not like the other one in ubuntu 8.04 | 06:44 |
| waan | jim_p: I did, its clean as a whistle | 06:44 |
| outbri | Why doesn't firefox ever close on ctrl-w, you always have to right click and close it from your toolbar? | 06:44 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | Anyone know how to use synergy??? | 06:44 |
| kebomix | i cant modify ip's | 06:44 |
| felix-da-catz | I wonder if piping a tar command through ssh is faster than copying over samba. | 06:44 |
| gusx_ | what do u need to do with ldap ? | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, yes.. i learned how from reading its manpages and the homepage/guides | 06:44 |
| IvoryZion | The 64 bit download says 'amd 64'. Will this still work with my Intel proc? | 06:44 |
| Xime | how can I make it so I can access /dev/sdba without root? | 06:44 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: it's part of a project i'm working on for tracking user accounts: greamin.com/server | 06:44 |
| kebomix | i add notification area but it dont appear | 06:44 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: can I pm you? | 06:45 |
| jim_p | waan: then i dont know what else to suggest | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | Xime, depends on what filesystem is is | 06:45 |
| sfire | Xime: I generally create/modify the fstab entry | 06:45 |
| Xime | idk Im trying to do hddtemp /dev/sda1 | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, have you read the man pages for it yet? check the homepage for info? | 06:45 |
| Xime | but says permission denied | 06:45 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: yes, yes, and yes. | 06:45 |
| bingungaja | hi there, when i first install ibex in my notebook (not yet activated special effect), my totem is no issue playing dvd, but after I activated the special effect by typing "nvidia-xconfig" in the consule , my totem can't play dvd anymore, just freeze with no explanation http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1oa5.png Anyone can help me out please | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, basically make a proper syngery config in /etc/ run syngeryserver on box and syngery client on the other. | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, do not 'ssh' to the remote box and run syngery that way. :) it can confuse things | 06:46 |
| ziroday | bingungaja: have you tried another video player, such as vlc? | 06:46 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: ssh? | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | !ssh | C4N-S|SEAL45 | 06:47 |
| ubottu | C4N-S|SEAL45: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 06:47 |
| Xime | how can I make it so I can do "hddtemp /dev/sda1" without logging into root account | 06:47 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | do i need SSH to run synergy? | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, no you do not | 06:48 |
| justyna | Hello | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | Xime, dont want to use the 'sudo' command? | 06:48 |
| Snicks | i'm having problems with new ubuntu: 8.10 . searching with google looks like i got problems with my gnome | 06:48 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | on the config page, for the hostnames, should i put the local ip's? such as 192.168 tec. | 06:48 |
| bingungaja | ziroday : tried mplyaer, don't work, tried ogle worked, but no panel to fw or ff, vlc-- haven't tried, but i'm very curious, is this because my totem not installed well or what | 06:48 |
| ziroday | Snicks: what is your exact problem? | 06:48 |
| outbri | Snicks: what problems? | 06:48 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | or the computername/hostname? | 06:48 |
| Xime | but I dont want to do on root account | 06:48 |
| justyna | I have 8.10 desktop i386 instaled and my network doesnt work. Why? It was good on previous version | 06:49 |
| rdw200169 | woah, synergy looks pretty cool! | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, i always use the ip# | 06:49 |
| ziroday | bingungaja: its hard to tell, what does running at the command line say? | 06:49 |
| gusx_ | so essential u are integrating radius with openldap | 06:49 |
| Snicks | after i logged in, it gives a lightbrown screen and even after minutes of waiting and with failsafe gnome(suggested on forum) won't work | 06:49 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: yeah, it's a mess; i want to use ldap to track passwords (simple passwords, none of that kerberos hell) | 06:49 |
| legend2440 | Xime: i used these instructions to put temp icons on panel in gnome http://www.techthrob.com/tech/linuxsensors.php | 06:50 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: across radius, ftp, http, etc.. | 06:50 |
| ziroday | Snicks: is this a fresh install? | 06:50 |
| bingungaja | ziroday: what do u mean ? | 06:50 |
| Snicks | no, it's an upgrade | 06:50 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: i see ldap to be the way to integrate ip address management, for example, across coovachilli (radius) and dhcp | 06:50 |
| ziroday | bingungaja: run "totem" in a terminal, select a video and pastebin what is spits out | 06:51 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: My windows machine is running synergy server, my ubuntu machine has the config file there. do i need to have a config file on my windows machine? | 06:51 |
| ziroday | Snicks: did this happen in hardy? | 06:51 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: because i'm not the one running the server, my friend rich is, who is not very good with linux | 06:51 |
| Snicks | the reason that i didn't do a fresh install was 'cause i had some program's installed i didn't want to reinstall | 06:51 |
| Snicks | never, ziroday | 06:51 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: how do i run synergyc? when i run the command, says it cant find the server | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, no idea. check the windows docs, or it proberly has a systtray icon. | 06:51 |
| gusx_ | havent done it myself wit radius yet but http and ftp | 06:51 |

| rdw200169 | gusx_: so, i'm trying to set up ldap to store all the special information he will need to change | 06:51 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: for the different ISP subscribers | 06:51 |
| ziroday | Snicks: does failsafe gnome work? | 06:51 |
| Snicks | no, ziroday | 06:52 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: so the People subdirectory in ldap would be all he had to mess with for everything | 06:52 |
| Snicks | even that won't work, i've read that on the forum it should work | 06:52 |
| ziroday | Snicks: so it just stays on the light brown screen and nothing happens at all? | 06:52 |
| Snicks | that's right,ziroday | 06:52 |

| starkraving | @rdw200169, last quick question, will it be okay during the new install to just point it to my existing ubuntu partition? | 06:53 |
| kebomix | anybody help me plz , i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and i cant find network in the top tool bar and battery also !!! | 06:53 |
| rdw200169 | gusx_: so if he wants to change a subscribers bandwidth allowance, for example, it would be easy, to include changing a password, ip, internet gateway, etc... | 06:53 |
| ziroday | Snicks: can you run this command "mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2.old" and then try login again | 06:53 |
| rdw200169 | starkraving: no, it won't work, | 06:53 |
| oorjha | jim_p, working fine now, manually edited the xorg.conf | 06:53 |
| rdw200169 | starkraving: it will force you to format the partition you allocate for / | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | kebomix, right click on the panel and perhaps add the applets you want? | 06:53 |
| Snicks | ziroday, you mean with my livecd run that command and than boot from my HDD again? | 06:53 |
| lifestream | Question, for a SHOUTcast radio station, how do I get the URL in this format: http://station_name.com:7040 ? Who knows? ^_^;; | 06:53 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: were do i put the config file for synergy in ubuntu?? | 06:53 |
| ziroday | Snicks: yep | 06:53 |
| starkraving | okay, that's fine... but i can point it to that existing partition, after backing up | 06:53 |
| jim_p | oorjha: well done | 06:53 |
| rdw200169 | starkraving: now, if you had /home on a different partition, you could specify that, and it won't format it | 06:53 |
| ziroday | Snicks: wait! | 06:53 |
| Snicks | i'll try yet, ziroday | 06:54 |
| kebomix | dr_willis: i want network manager like ubuntu 8.04 i cant find it !!!! | 06:54 |
| Peddy | does anyone know of a program that can execute a script when a certain dbus signal is recieved? | 06:54 |
| Snicks | ok | 06:54 |
| pawan | still unable to enable nvidia drivers | 06:54 |
| rdw200169 | Peddy: i don't think so, but it would be pretty easy to write one using python-dbus | 06:54 |
| bingungaja | ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/65563/ --- HERE U GO | 06:54 |
| psiforce | hmm anyone else having problems with wpa and ibex? it was working in hardy | 06:54 |
| oorjha | jim_p, basic methods always work. Hope we will get some respite in JJ | 06:54 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: when they say put the config file here,,, /etc/synergy.conf were do they mean? | 06:54 |
| ziroday | Snicks: better idea, boot into the hdd and go to the terminal and type adduser testuser. Then try to login as testuser | 06:54 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: is that the home folder or what? | 06:54 |
| ziroday | bingungaja: thanks | 06:54 |
| gusx_ | got it , how u plan to get the network equipment search the ldap directory for bandwith values ? | 06:54 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, according to the man pages make one ---> /etc/synergy.conf | 06:54 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: can you post the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log to the pastebin? | 06:54 |
| pawan | how | 06:55 |
| rdw200169 | !pastebin | 06:55 |
| 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) | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, its in /etc/ if you cant understand that.. well you may want to read some linux basics tutorials/guides first | 06:55 |
| mattgyver83 | updgrading to 8.10 - worst decision of my life. Just in case anyone was wondering. | 06:55 |
| Peddy | rdw200169: Do you think you could help me write one ;) ? I don't know python :/ | 06:55 |
| rdw200169 | just copy the contents of that file, from gedit, to the pastebin | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, /home/ is home.. /etc/ is /etc | 06:55 |
| Snicks | ziroday, how do i go to the terminal? i always do that when i got gnome | 06:55 |
| Peddy | please* | 06:55 |
| rdw200169 | Peddy, what are you trying to do? | 06:55 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | dr_willis: im trying to set this up, so i can learn more about linux, if i can set this up i dont have to unplug my mouse and keyboard everytime... please just help | 06:55 |
| Snicks | than i know where to look for the terminal :P | 06:55 |
| ziroday | bingungaja: it looks like its an issue with how totem connects to pulseaudio. Are you running hardy or intrepid? | 06:55 |
| pawan | how to open that file | 06:55 |
| bingungaja | ziroday : intrepid | 06:56 |
| dr_willis | C4N-S|SEAL45, if you learned about ssh you could just open up a terminal over to the machine | 06:56 |
| rdw200169 | pawan: Alt + f2 -> gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 06:56 |
| ziroday | Snicks: press ctrl + alt + f1, to go to a terminal and ctrl + alt + f7 to get back to the login screen | 06:56 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | but i use both pcs alot... which sucks | 06:56 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | i just need to get this setup | 06:56 |
| gusx_ | the AS'S can do that via radius authorization ? | 06:56 |
| Snicks | thanks, ziroday | 06:56 |
| C4N-S|SEAL45 | been trying to 2 days | 06:56 |

| ay^ | kebomix the first part of that line is your login name, the second is nm-applets PID | 07:09 |

| kebomix | ay^: i rebooted it up 1 time , still have same problem | 07:11 |
| ay^ | kebomix: okay, so then this might not work, but at least when you start it with "nm-applet" it might give you an error message | 07:12 |

| ubottu | debconf is a configuration management system. All packages that support debconf are configured when they are being installed. If you want to change a configuration option later, you can do so using dpkg-reconfigure | 07:23 |
| NetLarIrvine | Told me no new release found | 07:24 |
| outbri | khelll: you can get a cd from canonical and upgrade with that. | 07:24 |
| jim_p | macvr: i dont know what to say | 07:24 |
| jim_p | khelll: from an alternative installation cd | 07:24 |
| Tyrath | or should i say ps ax | grep | 07:25 |
| khelll | jim_p what is the alternative cd ? | 07:25 |
| mkartic | jim_p: [bak!] it STILL keeps accessing the internet! | 07:25 |
| Praveen | how to find the default font a server uses ?? | 07:25 |
| jim_p | mkartic: can you remind me? | 07:25 |
| khelll | jim_p is't the text one ? | 07:25 |
| elpargo | khelll, the alternative installation cd. | 07:26 |
| jim_p | khelll: yea | 07:26 |
| mkartic | sorry, sure. u gave me the 'sudo apt-cdrom && . . .' command to install from the alt cd, but it still tries to download from the net | 07:26 |
| groceryheist | hello friendly helpers! I just upgraded from hardy LTS to intrepid and my sound does not work. I followed the advice given in this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449, i purged and reinstalled everything he said to in that thread, my ubuntu desktop and gda were uninstalled as part of that but i reinstalled them and that works fine now. Someone please help me figure out what to try next? | 07:26 |
| Snicks | i tried to make a new user to make my 8.10 upgrade sucesfull, but first i looked like it would work, but it gave after my light brown screen a black screen, working mouse, but no gnome, can somebody give another thing i can try? | 07:26 |
| KenzoIX | how can I make alsa to output surround sound via line-in and mic-in jacks? | 07:26 |
| KenzoIX | my motherboard don't have dedicated jacks for 5.1 sound | 07:26 |
| NetLarIrvine | That is correct , had to change it to a regular release, not a LTS, thanks | 07:26 |
| bingungaja | ziroday : it did work, actually i just intall pulse studio and don't understand what i'm doing LOL | 07:26 |
| Tyrath | thanks for trying to help anyhow | 07:26 |
| outbri | groceryheist: if someone knows the answer to your question they'll answer it. otherwise re-entering it isn't going to help. | 07:26 |
| groceryheist | KenzoIX i doubt that is possible | 07:26 |
| NetLarIrvine | thanks, Snicks | 07:27 |
| pen | hey | 07:27 |
| KenzoIX | in windows it works just fine :-( | 07:27 |
| outbri | groceryheist: and I myself don't know the answer, mine didn't work but I have two sound sources, so I just use the one that works. | 07:27 |
| sliverchair | I'm using a wireless connection for internet, and ubuntu keeps asking for the passwd every startup. How do I set it automatic? I'm using a fresh 8.10 | 07:27 |
| KenzoIX | groceryheist: why do you think it's not possible? | 07:28 |
| ottoshmidt | #ubuntu-ge | 07:28 |
| groceryheist | because the line in and mic are inputs on the sound card, they are not designed to output | 07:28 |
| LimCore | how good is 8.10 ? | 07:28 |
| LimCore | 8.10 amd64 - more or less bugs in applications that in 8.04 | 07:29 |
| outbri | !good | LimCore | 07:29 |
| ubottu | LimCore: 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. | 07:29 |
| bingungaja | ziroday : it did work, actually i just intall pulse studio and don't understand what i'm doing LOL --- are u there ziroday | 07:29 |
| Praveen | how to i find the default font used by the server ? | 07:29 |
| KenzoIX | my mainboard have only 3 audio jacks and it works fine in windows :-( | 07:29 |
| groceryheist | you said you have 5.1? | 07:30 |
| LimCore | well, is 8.10 amd64 stable yet, or still lot of problems? | 07:30 |
| outbri | KenzoIX: I'm sure it is possible, but you might have to re-wire the sound card to do it. The software isn't designed to do it backwards, windows doesn't even do it. | 07:30 |
| Snicks | my gnome still won't start up, somebody willing to help me? | 07:30 |
| KenzoIX | groceryheist: yes | 07:30 |
| groceryheist | from 3 jacks? | 07:30 |
| KenzoIX | yes | 07:30 |
| groceryheist | ok | 07:30 |
| magnetron | groceryheist→ 3x2 = 6 = 5 + 1 | 07:30 |
| groceryheist | ya i know | 07:30 |
| groceryheist | but getting them to output stereo is a trick | 07:31 |
| groceryheist | well | 07:31 |
| jim_p | how can i mark a package NOT to be installed by apt in any way? the package is in the repos | 07:31 |
| groceryheist | not stereo, but you know | 07:31 |
| groceryheist | ya | 07:31 |
| outbri | LimCore: I've been running 8.10 for about 3 months now, and haven't had any terribly major problems. just depends how much you want to deal with. I had problems in 8.04 also. | 07:31 |
| Dorobo18jp | can someone help me i am trying to install awn-extras-applets-trunk having toubles | 07:31 |
| groceryheist | i wouldnt know how to help you, im just surprised it can be done, probably depends on the card | 07:32 |
| KenzoIX | in windows realtek driver just let me choose when i plug something in | 07:32 |
| NetLarIrvine | You know what is amazing, with all these upgrades, that the software on Ubuntu still is compatible | 07:32 |
| NetLarIrvine | Never would see that with MS | 07:32 |
| groceryheist | so you probably have to find a 3rd party driver or write your own | 07:32 |
| sliverchair | any ubuntu psp channel? | 07:33 |
| sfire | I just booted off the live CD.. everything seems to work but I want to test out the wireless drivers. Under Administration ---> Hardware Drivers I see it listed and I can click activate but it doesn't seem to do it.. Is there a way I can get it to work while in live mode? | 07:33 |
| Madpilot | NetLarIrvine, that's the whole idea behind "distributions" of Linux - the whole thing is integrated to some extent | 07:33 |
| xbskid | PSP? | 07:33 |
| mkartic | http://paste.ubuntu.com/65578/ <--someone help me with this? | 07:33 |
| NetLarIrvine | Such a good feeling knowing, you can have an OS that does the break everything when upgraded | 07:33 |
| KenzoIX | so there is no easy way to make alsa output sound via line-in and mic-in jacks? | 07:33 |
| nightdragon__ | wow | 07:33 |
| nightdragon__ | intrepix is amazing | 07:33 |
| Snicks | i'm asking thousands of times: can somebody help me with my gnome that won't start up in intrepid even after making a testuser? | 07:34 |
| magnetron | KenzoIX→ maybe there is a on/off switch for it in the ALSA mixer | 07:34 |
| groceryheist | im not going to say that, but i don't know how you would | 07:34 |
| NetLarIrvine | The applicatoins are intergrated?? | 07:34 |
| magnetron | !elaborate | Snicks | 07:34 |
| ubottu | Snicks: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 07:34 |
| Dorobo18jp | in a terminal how do i install awn-extras-applets-trunk | 07:34 |
| Dorobo18jp | ？ | 07:34 |
| sliverchair | xbskid: PlayStation Portable | 07:34 |
| KenzoIX | magnetron: I've tried the microphone switch in alsa mixer but it didn't work | 07:35 |
| outbri | Dorobo18jp: sudo apt-get install awn-extras-applets-trunk? | 07:35 |
| Snicks | magnetron, i tell me what to tell more and i do : i tried to make a new user to make my 8.10 upgrade sucesfull, but first i looked like it would work, but it gave after my light brown screen a black screen, working mouse, but no gnome | 07:35 |
| Snicks | is that better? | 07:35 |
| bingungaja | how come my mplayer can't see my dvd location ? | 07:35 |
| Tyrath | hey pwd gets the folder you are in. what command gets the file you are in? | 07:36 |
| magnetron | Snicks→ you still get to the login screen? | 07:36 |
| Dorobo18jp | outbru i get this message E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 07:36 |
| Dorobo18jp | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 07:36 |
| magnetron | Tyrath→ you can't type unix commands in files | 07:36 |
| macvr | jim_p: that thread says that root permissions should look like this>>> drwxrwx--T 2 root gdm 4096 2008-11-01 11:47 gdm <<<my permissions are the same, so i guess the prob is not errors... how do i correct the prob with the X server? | 07:36 |
| Tyrath | magnetron: is thee no way? | 07:36 |
| Snicks | magnetron, after the black screen with mouse pointer i won't | 07:36 |
| outbri | Dorobo18jp: close any other package manger you have running | 07:36 |
| macvr | jim_p: prob is not permissions? | 07:37 |
| Tyrath | magnetron: see the thing is I want to put the filename in my terminal header | 07:37 |
| magnetron | Snicks→ but before the black screen you get to enter your username and password? | 07:37 |
| jim_p | macvr: then what is it? | 07:37 |
| jim_p | macvr: :O are you on ati and fglrx? | 07:37 |
| Snicks | magnetron, i do, yes | 07:37 |
| macvr | jim_p: s | 07:37 |
| jim_p | s? | 07:37 |
| Snicks | i can login, thereafter i got a light brown screen, thereafter nothing happens | 07:38 |
| macvr | jim_p: ati | 07:38 |
| jim_p | macvr: and fglrx too? | 07:38 |
| chronosx | what's the alternative to xhost + ? | 07:38 |
| magnetron | Snicks→ you can choose a "session" at that point. try to choose the default GNOME instead of "same as last time" | 07:38 |
| pdlnhrd | anyone give any advice on the ntfs-3g driver? is it stable enough to use it to mount my home directories with something fstab like /dev/sda1 /home/ ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 ? | 07:38 |
| dovel | Tyrath: Ctrl-z to get out of the file and back to the terminal - bg to put it to the background and fg to return it to the foreground | 07:38 |
| macvr | jim_p: i think so fglrx... how do i confirm? | 07:38 |
| bingungaja | how come my mplayer can't see my dvd location ? | 07:38 |
| Snicks | magnetron: i tried GNOME, failsafe GNOME both won't work | 07:38 |
| Tyrath | dovel: thanks, but all i need is the pwd for files | 07:39 |
| Dorobo18jp | closed and i get this Reading package lists... Done | 07:39 |
| jim_p | pdlnhrd: do not use ntfs on home or other direcories! otherwise ntfs3g is fine and stable | 07:39 |
| Dorobo18jp | Building dependency tree | 07:39 |
| Dorobo18jp | Reading state information... Done | 07:39 |
| Dorobo18jp | E: Couldn't find package awn-extras-applets-trunk | 07:39 |
| FloodBot3 | Dorobo18jp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:39 |
| Tyrath | dovel: like pwd is to directory as " " is to file | 07:39 |
| magnetron | Snicks→ try to describe to the channel what you've done to try to solve the problem | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | pdlnhrd, dont use ntfs-3g or ntfs for your home directory | 07:39 |
| jim_p | macvr: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver | 07:39 |
| Dorobo18jp | ok sorry | 07:40 |
| magnetron | pdlnhrd→ NTFS doesn't support UNIX user ownership/permissions, you'll be very sorry if you use it for /home | 07:40 |
| macvr | jim_p: Driver"fglrx".... | 07:40 |
| outbri | Dorobo18jp: I'm don't know anything about that package, it sounds more like something you'd use svn for, but I don't know. | 07:40 |
| Snicks | i tried to login with my usual user/passs in last sesssion, 'normal' GNOME, failsafe GNOME : gives all that light brown screen, also after making a new user with that options: won't work | 07:40 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I went to that thing for changing the header. it told me how to change the title but said nothing about how I could insert the filename into the header | 07:40 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, ive no clue what you mean by 'header' | 07:41 |
| Snicks | gives the same errors as with my old user/pass | 07:41 |
| pdlnhrd | magetron: that is the sort of response i was looking for... thank makes a good reason | 07:41 |
| jim_p | how do i kill that !@#$ nteworrk manager applet of gnome?!?!?!? (i just got ibex in vbox :)) | 07:41 |
| MB1 | Is there any repo with kde 4.2 trunk for kubuntu ? | 07:41 |
| === Acky is now known as Acksaw | ||
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I mean the title of the terminal | 07:41 |
| gaintsura | hey all, is it possible (While in the same OS) to move /home to a partition? | 07:41 |
| magnetron | Tyrath→ whenever you are running a terminal command, you are in a directory, not a file. | 07:41 |
| jim_p | macvr: and you are on 8.10????? | 07:41 |
| dovel | Tyrath - when u hit ztrl-z, it will show you the name of the file and the path to it | 07:41 |
| dovel | ctrl-z | 07:42 |
| Tyrath | dovel: when I hit ctrl-z it cancels the process | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, you can change the title bar title with the proper escape sequences.. - Not sure what you are asking. | 07:42 |
| guestguestnew | can somebody help me with this simple problem, i've changed the theme and gdm screen to clearlooks and gave it a blue color, but when logging in their is this brief moment when the screen is brown, how do i change that? | 07:42 |
| macvr | jim_p: s.. 8.10. i now tried to activate the restricted drivers... but it does not activate... i'm using ATI X1400 | 07:42 |
| frybye | how can I change which is the default kernel to boot with grub.. step by step please = newbie...? | 07:42 |
| dovel | just hit fg to bring it back to the foreground | 07:42 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: if I open a program I want the program title to show up in the title of the menu bar | 07:42 |
| groceryheist | i solved my problem | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, use ctrl-z then 'bg' to run an app in the background. | 07:42 |
| ferronica | downloded 64bit ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, booted up upto start selection option everything fine, when i select first option system hangs there, just mem test runs fine | 07:43 |
| dovel | tyrath: then fg brings it back to the foreground | 07:43 |
| groceryheist | had to load my driver | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, what program? if you run 'gedit' from the terminal you want it to say gedit in the xterm terminal title? | 07:43 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: exactly. but not just for gedit, for everything | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, sounds rather useless to me.. | 07:43 |
| jim_p | macvr: fglrx does not work with xorg v1.5 ubuntu 8.10 has!!!! can you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf now? | 07:43 |
| SubramanianS | I have upgraded ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 | 07:43 |
| jim_p | macvr: that is THE reason i dont upgrade to 8.10 yet | 07:44 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: on the contrary. I don't have to click on every terminal tab to work out the one I want. | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, youd proberly have tow rite a script that does it for one app and have it called by the bash prompt every time | 07:44 |
| jim_p | how do i kill that !@#$ nteworrk manager applet of gnome?!?!?!? (i just got ibex in vbox :)) | 07:44 |
| SJrX | Hmmmm Ubuntu Server vcolo I'm trying to use openvpn but I get: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory | 07:44 |
| SubramanianS | nm-connection-editor does not update the changes | 07:44 |
| macvr | jim_p: how do i edit xorg? | 07:44 |
| SJrX | It didn't look like there were any pre-reqs I didn't need | 07:44 |
| SJrX | any ideas? | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, gedit is a gui tool.. whats the point? or are you confuseing things again? | 07:44 |
| SJrX | jim_p what is the reason? | 07:44 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: i know what gedit is | 07:44 |
| jim_p | macvr: are you on command line only? then sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:45 |
| pdlnhrd | what would be the best way to share 6 TB of info between windows and linux on the same system? what should the shared filesystem be? ext3 with the windows kernel driver (with no journaling) in windows or ntfs-3g from linux side with no permissions. it is a video editing box (CS Masters 4) windows and a development box Liinux | 07:45 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: and gedit is irrelevant to what I'm trying to do | 07:45 |
| macvr | jim_p: i'm in recovery mode... could that be a reason that the restricted driver is not activating? | 07:45 |
| dovel | tyrath: so u want to use the 'set title' command in the terminal menu? | 07:45 |
| jim_p | SJrX: for me killing the applet? i hate nm and i want it removed | 07:46 |
| ottoshmidt | is there Qt 4 installed in 8.10 intrepid? | 07:46 |
| NetLarIrvine | I think Ubuntu needs more commercially written software | 07:46 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, guess determine where http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/xterm-title-bar-manipulations.html is setting the title bar from and sonme how stick in a variable/script that tells it the name of the last ran command. | 07:46 |
| jim_p | macvr: no | 07:46 |
| Tyrath | dovel: you know how in the title of terminal it says user@userhost: current directory | 07:47 |
| Zoal | did anyone ever compile their whole system with asmlib? | 07:47 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I went to that link before - it showed me how to set the title but not how to make the title read the file that is currently running | 07:47 |
| jim_p | macvr: are you on xorg.conf now? replace fglrx with radeonhd | 07:48 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, yep.. thats the trick.. find the env variagle thats showing the currently running application | 07:48 |
| ottoshmidt | how can I ask Bot? | 07:48 |
| jim_p | how do i kill that !@#$ network manager applet of gnome? | 07:48 |
| Zoal | compiling an Ubuntu box to use asmlib entirely is complete ownage | 07:48 |
| dovel | tyrath: yes - you want to change the tab name | 07:48 |
| NetLarIrvine | Need more really polished stuff, so people can forget about MS | 07:48 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: i couldn't find it anywhere | 07:49 |
| jim_p | Zoal what is asmlib ? | 07:49 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, if its not in the 'set' variables not sure of a way to get it either.. | 07:49 |
| a1len | Does anyone use guarddog? | 07:49 |
| Zoal | its SSE3 optimized versions of memcpy, memmove, memset, strcpy, strcat, strlen, etc | 07:50 |

| ferronica | downloded 64bit ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, booted up upto start selection option everything fine, when i select first option system hangs there, just mem test runs fine | 07:50 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: you can edit it by editing ~/.bashrc | 07:50 |
| NetLarIrvine | The OS should be open source, but some software needs to stay in the hands of the big name software companies | 07:50 |
| === forces is now known as ferfactor | ||
| Zoal | SSE2/SSE3 | 07:50 |
| jim_p | Zoal and you have to compile EVERYTHING with it? | 07:50 |
| Zoal | no, but you should | 07:50 |
| Zoal | to see max benefit | 07:50 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I just need to know how print the currently running file name | 07:51 |
| dovel | tyrath - to do it all manually, when you open the current file, manually set the name of the tab in the menu Terminal-Title | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, ive seen no way to do that. | 07:51 |
| dovel | set title | 07:51 |
| jim_p | Zoal: the day i jump into gentoo, i will set this as a primary target | 07:51 |
| Tin|in | ll | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, and it would be currnetly running application/program not filename | 07:51 |
| favro | mpg123 can set the title of the terminal to the name of the song it is playing | 07:51 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: I'm guessing you can do ps ax | grep <something here> but I don't know | 07:51 |
| Zoal | jim_p: youoll have to do a little work and set -fno-builtin no gcc | 07:51 |
| jim_p | Zoal is this how -rt kernels are compiled? | 07:51 |
| Zoal | no | 07:52 |
| Zoal | asmlib is just an sse2/3 thing | 07:52 |
| SJrX | How do I upgrade from dapper to Hardy? | 07:52 |
| Zoal | -rt implies nothing | 07:52 |
| jim_p | Zoal: -rt = realtime kernel | 07:52 |
| dr_willis | Tyrath, any commands you use will get ran every time you hit return in the terminal - its best to not use long/big script/commands | 07:52 |
| Zoal | you can have -rt on a Yomammabox | 07:52 |
| etrask | I just upgraded to Ibex and my video driver is doing something weird | 07:52 |
| Zoal | jim_p: Duh | 07:52 |

| etrask | My screen has this weird pattern of black spots on it, little horizontal lines | 07:53 |
| Tyrath | dr_willis: so if I open vim, the terminal title will read VIM | 07:53 |

| Qrawl | dr_willis, wait. I know you can install it. but ZSNES doesnt work in Intrepid | 07:56 |
| Tyrath | !nvidia | 07:56 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 07:56 |
| dr_willis | Qrawl, file a bug report I guess then... :) | 07:57 |
| Qrawl | dr_willis, there already is one | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | Qrawl, i cant even test it.. its 32bit only. | 07:57 |
| Qrawl | are they still working on SNES9x | 07:57 |
| favro | ferronica: did the cd pass the integrity check? | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | Qrawl, i just installed snex9x lets see if it works | 07:58 |
| Qrawl | dr_willis, maybe I'll have to give SNES9x a try | 07:58 |
| ferronica | favro: when i select intergrity check system hangs :( | 07:59 |
| pdlnhrd | does anyone have suggestions on sharing a large partition between windows/linux? neither ntfs-3g nor the windows ext2 IFS drivers maintain file permissions | 07:59 |
| favro | ferronica: maybe you should do the md5 check on the iso before burning | 07:59 |
| guestguestnew | hi guys i installed emerald but it isn't starting even after i set it to start up "emerald --replace" i still have to type that command each time | 07:59 |
| favro | !md5 | ferronica | 07:59 |
| ubottu | ferronica: 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 | 07:59 |
| ferronica | favro: md5 is okay | 07:59 |
| favro | k | 07:59 |
| dr_willis | pdlnhrd, i doubt if you find a work around for that. its just because the 2 filesstems are so different | 08:00 |
| ferronica | favro: only memcheck runs | 08:00 |
| favro | ferronica: did you burn the disk at aa slow speed? | 08:00 |
| guestguestnew | can someone help me? | 08:00 |
| ferronica | favro: nope at auto | 08:00 |
| favro | ferronica: I always burn at 4x to be sure | 08:01 |

| nevoeiro | hello. anyone expericing very slow performance in intrepid? in hardy, everything worked very well but now 3d apps are very slow :(( | 08:02 |
| pdlnhrd | dr_willis: o.k. i guess i will have to live with it for now... thanks for the advice.... someday someone will make a portable filesystem | 08:02 |
| favro | ferronica: that suggests to me a bad burn... | 08:02 |
| dr_willis | Qrawl, works as good as any of the others.. most all of the snes emuators out now work very well. | 08:02 |
| Qrawl | dr_willis, ok cool | 08:03 |
| dr_willis | Qrawl, install the gnome front end to it also.. :) unless you want to use the terminal | 08:03 |
| Qrawl | ok | 08:03 |
| favro | guestguestnew: there is #compiz-fusion for that | 08:03 |
| nevoeiro | hello. anyone experiencing very slow performance in intrepid? in hardy, everything worked very well but now 3d apps are very slow :(( | 08:03 |

| guestguestnew | favro: thanks | 08:04 |

| ajopaul | hi, i have a .cue and and .wav file any clues how to play them ? | 08:07 |
| Schmick | SJrX, 'sudo apt-get upgrade' <--- updates all installed packages. | 08:07 |
| SJrX | no I meant like getting the list of avaliable mirrors for sources.list | 08:08 |
| favro | !mirrors | SJrX | 08:08 |
| ubottu | SJrX: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 08:08 |
| Schmick | ajopaul, .cue files usually come in pairs with .bin files. Those are CD images. | 08:08 |
| gaintsura | how would I go about moving my /home directory to a partition of an already installed system? | 08:08 |
| frybye | how to change computer name??? | 08:08 |
| saint-takeshi | i think i broke something in my intel drivers, whilst fannying around trying to get 3d acceleration to work (i installed the experimental gallium drivers from git, without a clue what i was doing) | 08:08 |
| Snicks | i still can't run ubuntu 8.10 upgrade (upgraded in 8.04) because i only got a light brown screen with this options: normal user/pass (default / GNOME / failsafe GNOME) and also new user/pass (default / GNOME / failsafe GNOME) | 08:08 |
| favro | !hostname | frybye | 08:09 |
| ubottu | frybye: 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 | 08:09 |
| Schmick | .wav files are stand alone and most players can play them... (Totem can) | 08:09 |
| gaintsura | found a nice quick and dirty wma to mp3 converter bash script ^_^ | 08:09 |
| Schmick | neat gaintsura ... those A2B scripts are the most useful ones. | 08:10 |
| gaintsura | indeed | 08:10 |
| gaintsura | still confused how windows (go figure) turned all of my mp3's into wma's | 08:11 |
| frybye | chnage favro - trying to use gui - in systemadmin I only find networkdiagnose?? | 08:11 |
| homy | hello! I just installed intrepid as liveusb using the new "create bootable usb" utility in intrepid. | 08:11 |
| Schmick | I recently wrote a xls2sql.sh saved me hundred of hours a month.. :) | 08:11 |
| BeardedAvenger | gaintsura, did you open them with mediaplayer? | 08:11 |
| homy | But: I have a terrible screen resolution! | 08:11 |
| favro | frybye: I would edit those two files that ubottu mentioned | 08:11 |
| jim_p | how do i kill that network manager applet of gnome? | 08:11 |
| frybye | I am on a German ibex.. (am a Brit myself.. engl. here is generally better for me..) | 08:11 |
| ay^ | jim_p: ps aux | awk /nm-applet/ | 08:12 |
| gaintsura | BeardedAvenger: no, I despise WMP | 08:12 |
| frederick85 | i have a severe problem on my laptop, the keyboard doesn't work on the login screen | 08:12 |
| Schmick | gaintsura, WMPlayer does that. | 08:12 |
| homy | How can I get a correct resolution that stays with next boot of liveusb?? | 08:12 |
| frybye | I see - thanks favro | 08:12 |
| Snicks | i still can't run ubuntu 8.10 upgrade (upgraded in 8.04) because i only got a light brown screen with this options: normal user/pass (default / GNOME / failsafe GNOME) and also new user/pass (default / GNOME / failsafe GNOME) | 08:12 |
| adante | d | 08:12 |
| ay^ | jim_p: use the PID and to "kill PID" | 08:12 |
| favro | np | 08:12 |
| gaintsura | yeah, and I only used winamp | 08:12 |
| BeardedAvenger | gaintsura, weird... because I know wmp has a tendency to convert files | 08:12 |
| adante | hi, how am i supposed to connect bluetooth mice now that hidd is gone in intrepid? when i try to use the device wizard it just says "pairing has failed" | 08:12 |
| homy | !resolution | 08:12 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 08:13 |
| BeardedAvenger | I've never heard of winamp doing that though | 08:13 |
| saint-takeshi | is there a reason using apt and reinstalling xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-video-intel, libgl1-mesa-dri WOULDN'T fix what i've done? | 08:13 |
| * BeardedAvenger pets mpg321 :P | 08:13 | |
| jim_p | ay^: nm-applet is the name??? i am a total idiot then! searching for gnome-network-manager etc! | 08:13 |
| gaintsura | now I'm converted to ubuntu (for about 9 months now) and am about to fully convert over | 08:13 |
| Schmick | one more reason not to use window$ | 08:13 |
| ay^ | jim_p: thats the one!:) | 08:13 |
| jim_p | ay^: thanks | 08:13 |
| BeardedAvenger | I just finished installing 8.10 and it's pretty nice | 08:13 |
| gaintsura | BeardedAvenger: me either, and it could be someone else who used my system, but meh, my issues are beyond that now | 08:13 |
| ay^ | jim_p: np | 08:13 |
| pan0234 | anyone know how to fix splash screen problems in /boot/grug/splashscreen? | 08:13 |
| gaintsura | 32 or 64 | 08:14 |
| BeardedAvenger | I'm digging it a bit more than 8.04 | 08:14 |
| LimCore | how well does kde work in 8.10? because week before 8.10 come out, most kde was not present, so I wonder is 8.10 amd64 good yet for production server+desktop | 08:14 |
| BeardedAvenger | 32 | 08:14 |
| ajopaul | Schmick: so only a .cue and .wav files dont make sense ?? nothing can be done to them ? | 08:14 |
| homy | If I select a restricted driver in ubuntu liveusb, how can I make it be there on next boot too? | 08:14 |
| BeardedAvenger | I've noticed 8.10 is a bit lighter weight than 8.04 was | 08:14 |
| gaintsura | LimCore: me too, thus my hesitation | 08:14 |
| gaintsura | although I'm preparing my system for it. | 08:14 |
| pop3000 | Question: how do i login as root in linux? | 08:14 |
| BeardedAvenger | although at the moment I'm removing about 75% of the extras | 08:14 |
| gaintsura | I'll wait about another 2 weeks before I upgrade | 08:15 |
| Schmick | ajopaul, .wav is audio.. if you got the codec, it can be played. .cue files is (usualy) the structure in a .bin file used to burn a CD. | 08:15 |
| BeardedAvenger | I was going to upgrade lastnight, but the servers were so busy | 08:15 |
| saint-takeshi | BeardedAvenger: and yet slashdot reported that it benchmarks much slower ;p | 08:15 |
| BeardedAvenger | so today I just got it off of torrent | 08:15 |
| adante | hi, how can i get bluetooth working in intrepid? is there a way without hte wizard which does not work? | 08:15 |
| homy | So, I booted a liveusb with persistance, ie. a directory I created on the desktop stays there on next boot. BUT: When I select nvidia driver in restricted drivers, it does not stay until next boot! | 08:15 |
| frederick85 | does anyone know how I can get my keyboard working after a distupgrade to intrepid | 08:15 |
| BeardedAvenger | saint-takeshi, I've noticed the system was a tad bit slower... But I mean light weight as in packages included | 08:15 |
| BeardedAvenger | although now that I've removed a bunch of stuff, It's lightning fast | 08:15 |
| pop3000 | can somebody pls help me. how do i login as root in linux? | 08:15 |
| jim_p | frederick85: what keyboard is it? | 08:15 |
| ajopaul | ok let me try.. | 08:15 |
| homy | pop3000: sudo -i | 08:16 |
| homy | !sudo | pop3000 | 08:16 |
| pop3000 | thanks. | 08:16 |
| ubottu | pop3000: 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) | 08:16 |
| jim_p | pop3000: you cant login from the login scren. open a terminal and use su - | 08:16 |
| homy | Can anybody help me? | 08:16 |
| favro | pop3000: you don't login as root - you use sudo | 08:16 |
| frederick85 | jim_p: a laptop keyboard on a stalite a50 | 08:16 |
| BeardedAvenger | I think my only complaint so far is support for my nvidia geforce4 card... | 08:16 |

| BeardedAvenger | on 8.04 it was out of the box support, but with 8.10 It's going to require a little work | 08:17 |
| frybye | favro: to start gedit as root do I need sudo or gesudo or something else?? | 08:17 |
| gaintsura | how should I move my /home dir to a different partition? | 08:17 |
| favro | frybye: gksu gedit /etc/host | 08:17 |
| MrMist | frybye: prettu much, yeah. | 08:17 |
| homy | HOW CAN I enable NVIDIA restricted driver in intrepid liveusb!?!?! | 08:17 |
| kinection | ok... how do you connect to a wireless network in 8.10? I plugged in my wireless card, and went into network configuration, set up a wireless network... but there is no way to *connect* to it | 08:17 |
| Astral_Projectio | hi. does anyone know how to make atheros AR242x work with madwifi? | 08:18 |
| jim_p | frederick85: then you miss some module | 08:18 |
| ay^ | homy: is doesn't wotk like that with liv-systems | 08:18 |
| frederick85 | jim_p: also I plug in usb keyboard and it fails | 08:18 |
| ay^ | homy: since it needs to reboot to complete installation | 08:18 |
| acidicbase | hmm | 08:18 |
| BeardedAvenger | also... disabling the boot splash screen will drasticly speed up the bootup | 08:18 |
| jim_p | Astral_Projectio: i think that the ath9k module works with it (the card, not madwifi) | 08:18 |
| saint-takeshi | kinection: do you have network-manager-applet running? | 08:18 |
| binarymutant | will I be able to log Ubuntu OpenWeek? | 08:18 |
| BeardedAvenger | I just removed all the bootsplash packages and my boot up is about 20secs | 08:18 |
| Astral_Projectio | jim_p, brb, im going to try ath9k now :) | 08:19 |
| frederick85 | jim_p: no idea what module i would be missing the keyboard function ctrl+alt + delete works though and restarts it, seems it just doesn't work in X | 08:19 |
| acidicbase | my ubuntu 8.04 doesn't like to play nice when I have totem and youtube going at the same time, one video/mp3 will stop and the other will play | 08:19 |
| indra | how can i unmont particion | 08:19 |
| kinection | saint-takeshi: no, now i wonder why that isn't there when i plugged in the wireless... | 08:19 |
| speedyindy | I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, how can I restore the old background?? | 08:19 |
| kinection | saint-takeshi: do i have to add this thing manually? | 08:19 |
| jim_p | frederick85: then its that junk xorg v1.5 | 08:19 |
| MrMist | I've got a question.. I'm having problems with Xorg... In 8.4, my VGA display was detected automatically when it was connected. I'm using 8.10 on a laptop. Any way I can modify xorg to automatically use the connected screen IF it's connected? I only need one screen at a time | 08:19 |
| homy | ay^: but i have USB live with persistance or something like that: when I create a file on the desktop, it is STILL THERE on next LIVE boot! | 08:19 |
| frederick85 | jim_p: so am I screwed ? | 08:19 |
| Schmick | indra, if your partition is mounted in /mnt/mypart, unmount it with 'umount /mnt/mypart' | 08:20 |
| saft | what is the difference between debian and ubuntu? ubuntu is based on debian so what is ubunu then, just a collection of higher-level packages? | 08:20 |
| indra | tnx | 08:20 |
| saint-takeshi | kinection: try "nm-applet" from a terminal (without quotes) | 08:20 |
| Schmick | indra, np | 08:20 |
| frederick85 | jim_p: would you recommend changing back to LTS? | 08:20 |
| BeardedAvenger | saft, ubuntu is more user friendly and more up to date | 08:20 |
| acidicbase | debian is for stability | 08:20 |
| BeardedAvenger | saft, debian is so stable is out of date... imo | 08:20 |
| acidicbase | ubuntu is more user friendly | 08:20 |
| indra | he says me device is busy | 08:20 |
| jim_p | frederick85: what vga are you on? i do not recomend reinstalling ever! | 08:20 |
| homy | BUT: enabling the nvidia drivers is NOT saved on the live usb drive! | 08:21 |
| BeardedAvenger | it* | 08:21 |
| Vivvy | I have an ubuntu 8.10 cd. Can I use it to upgrade my 8.04 install or do I have to do that with the update manager online? | 08:21 |
| kinection | saint-takeshi: claims that it can't acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings, service is already taken | 08:21 |
| saint-takeshi | saft: ubuntu's basically debian in 'easy mode' | 08:21 |

| saint-takeshi | kinection: ah, right. now left-click that and pick your wireless network ;) | 08:22 |
| indra | ferederick sudo init 0 | 08:22 |
| Schmick | indra, you can't umount a partition being used... Make sure you got no programs accessing the partition, including open file browsers. | 08:22 |
| jim_p | frederick85: its on, stay with 8.10. please make a tipical xorg.conf and set your language in there. i can whow you mine, but its far from a typical xorg | 08:23 |

| frybye | favro: so what to do now... | 08:23 |
| jim_p | frederick85: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 08:23 |

| frederick85 | jim_p: how can I type that if I can't use the keyboard | 08:24 |
| frybye | but if one needs to change one and thend the other - after the one is changed the other can no longer be edited or ??? | 08:24 |

| mistform | say one wanted to install an OS from a USB drive. I'm pretty sure one must first mount the .iso to the USB and then boot from it, correct? | 08:32 |
| saint-takeshi | lolmac: should be. i had an old radeon 9250 card (same chipset as the 9550) and got it working eventually | 08:32 |

| frybye | I will try to re-boot and see what happens I think.. this is on a different pc right now..ö. | 08:32 |
| jim_p | frederick85: it made a file named xorg.conf.new in /root | 08:32 |
| jim_p | frederick85: but it fell into the vesa bug :( | 08:33 |
| saint-takeshi | suspect43_: yep. | 08:33 |
| jim_p | frederick85: that black screen is the proof of the bug | 08:33 |
| frybye | there is a release party here in Berlin this afternoon - so if the worse comes to the worse there are a few real geeks there too.. heheh | 08:33 |
| Schmick | suspect43, might be a newer version of the same package. | 08:33 |
| suspect43_ | already? | 08:33 |
| Schmick | suspect43, so it's normal. | 08:33 |
| mistform | roger_, it could be your X window crashing, i've encountered the same problem before. | 08:33 |
| suspect43_ | it's been just a day | 08:33 |

| roger_ | mistform: should i start looking in the xorg.conf? | 08:34 |
| frederick85 | jim_p: I have the saved configuration file from before I upgraded the dist | 08:34 |
| jim_p | Coloquialist: icons on the desktop? | 08:34 |
| mistform | Coloquialist, technically they are mounted on your desktop. You could try to hide them? | 08:34 |
| jim_p | frederick85: can you put it back in place? | 08:35 |
| frederick85 | sure i'll give it a shot | 08:35 |
| frybye | soup77 | 08:35 |
| saint-takeshi | suspect43_: yeah, updates and lots of them are par for the course with ubuntu, especially around dist-upgrade time | 08:35 |
| mistform | roger_, i have no clue. I got the X window crash in Red Hat and Mandrake. Ubuntu did once or twice on me too. it was usually after a fresh install, so I just reinstalled it | 08:35 |
| oonh | question: I have just upgraded to intrepid ibex and I remap the Caps Lock key to be a Return key: xset r 66 does not set the key auto-repeat appropriately | 08:35 |
| frederick85 | jim_p: ok done should I restart it now/ | 08:35 |

It's also there activated in the session. I had to change my interfaces file manually to get internet working, but I would like to have it! Why is that? What can i do? it happened after I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 | 08:58 |

| roger_ | I have just done the injternet upgrade of ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. Everything went fine until the reboot. My machine has hung, last message was *Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK] when i ctrl alt del i get a msg saying "Stopping gnome display manager" then a few momnents and quick ubuntu splash screen flashes up and reboot...... I have an nvidia 8800GTS 320 MB | 09:04 |
| pdlnhrd | frybye: avahi (afp/bonjour) used for sharing is cool... but the sftp://host is faster and way more secure (if that maters) | 09:05 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: start the rescue option from grub and use "fix x-server" | 09:05 |

| sfire | thomasite: using a router? if so I always do it there then it applies to all machines plugged in | 09:07 |
| ziroday | thomasite: right click on the network applet and go to connections | 09:07 |
| pdlnhrd | thomasite: do you want to change it just for the machine or for the whole house, i usually change it in the router... else in /etc/resolve.conf | 09:07 |
| DIFH-iceroot | thomasite: /etc/resolv.conf | 09:07 |
| symtab | if you press the special volume down/up keys in ubuntu a app (cairo widget) appears...any idea what package contains that widget | 09:07 |
| symtab | ? | 09:07 |
| Ohmu | I am working to bring continuous speech recognition to Linux. In service to and out of respect for the FOSS community. Without it, Linux lags badly behind Windows. I am asking for help/support/collaboration. I will only accept that this is an inappropriate place to ask if one of the chan ops tells me. | 09:07 |
| bazhang | Ohmu, try in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:08 |
| roger_ | DIFH-iceroot: ok cheers! - ill let you know :) | 09:08 |
| thomasite | Hi. I want to change it for my machine only. Last time when I had 8.04, I just click on Network Connections and it allowed me to change the DNS servers easily. This time, I don't know how to do it in 8.10. | 09:08 |
| Ohmu | maybe I need to go on #linux | 09:08 |
| ziroday | thomasite: two people have told you two different ways of doing it, which method do you want clarification on? | 09:08 |
| DIFH-iceroot | thomasite: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf dont know how to do it in the gui | 09:08 |
| a1len | Anyone have any ideas on how I'd run a program from a certain directory? | 09:08 |
| Schmick | Nice project Ohmu .. speech recog has been dead for quite some time. Get it on launchpad. | 09:09 |
| joaopinto | a1len, cd directory; runpogram ? | 09:09 |
| DIFH-iceroot | a1len: cd to that directory && start the programm | 09:09 |
| pdlnhrd | thomasite: use opendns and do it in your router... you will be happier | 09:09 |
| a1len | That's from the terminal? | 09:09 |
| DIFH-iceroot | a1len: sure | 09:09 |
| Schmick | allen, for security reasons, if you are in the same directory as the program is, start it as ./programname | 09:09 |
| Ohmu | Thankyou Schmick, 3 negative comments from the channel had me a little unsettled. I know nothing of launchpad. I'll investigate. | 09:10 |
| thomasite | I'd like to do that in GUI. When I changed it, I got an error message: Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only).. | 09:10 |
| DIFH-iceroot | thomasite: sorry dont knw the gui for that | 09:10 |
| a1len | Hm... thanks. One more thing. What's the default directory for the user? | 09:11 |
| roger_ | DIFH-iceroot: fix x-server apparently not a recognised command | 09:11 |
| DIFH-iceroot | a1len: ~/ | 09:11 |
| frybye | when using smb:/// it askes for passwords and the pw for the respective pcs do not work...??? | 09:11 |
| thomasite | Thanks, DIFH. | 09:11 |
| ziroday | thomasite: I have never done it myself, but I know where in the menu through a gui it can be edited | 09:11 |
| a1len | Thanks | 09:11 |
| pdlnhrd | thomasite: can you give us the use case why you want to change the DNS? in other words why do you think you need to change it? | 09:11 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: this is an option in the ubuntu menü when starting the grub-rescue option | 09:11 |
| frybye | roger_: pse see above | 09:11 |
| Schmick | a1len, ~/ or /home/<username> .. it's the same. :) | 09:12 |
| frybye | up till now I have been happy with smb so ... | 09:12 |
| frybye | used it to conn to a windows machine.. | 09:12 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Schmick: nope, /home/username is static, ~/ is the home from the login user, iportant in scripts | 09:12 |

| _coredump_ | are there any known problems with marvell network cards an the sky2 module with intrepid? this constallation gives me no network connection. | 09:14 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Don: art.gnome.org or gnome-look.org | 09:14 |
| ziroday | Don: you mean themes? | 09:14 |
| Don | yes I'm from germany ^^ | 09:14 |
| roger_ | DIFH-iceroot: could you wallk me through this?? I cant seem to find the fix x-server option?! | 09:14 |
| lj | is openoffice 3 not included in ubuntu 8.10? | 09:14 |
| Don | thx anyway | 09:14 |
| thomasite | There are other computers in my building. But originally, when i was still using 8.04, changing the DNS was very easy and fast. I don't need to go to resolve.conf | 09:15 |
| cmatheson | i'm trying to get two-finger scrolling/taps working on my synaptic touchpad, but i don't seem to be getting any multi-finger events--is this not supported on all new synaptic touchpads? | 09:15 |
| esay | how I install testdisk on my computer? there isn't testdisk in sources | 09:15 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: in the grub-menue there should be the normal ubuntu boot and a rescue boot, right? | 09:15 |
| roger_ | DIFH-iceroot: recovery mode option? | 09:15 |
| pdlnhrd | good luck thomasite, sorry couldn't help you | 09:15 |
| DIFH-iceroot | easies: apt-get install testdisk (its in my repos on hardy) | 09:15 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: yes | 09:15 |
| lolnoob | 8.10 sucks :P | 09:16 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: and there a menue is popup with e.g. fix x-server | 09:16 |
| thomasite | Thanks. I just edited resolve.conf. It works. Although I prefer using the GUI. | 09:16 |
| lj | is openoffice 3 not included in ubuntu 8.10? i currently have 8.10 but it only still has openoffice 2.4 | 09:16 |
| roger_ | so i just run that mode? or do i add to that option "e" to edit the commands? | 09:16 |
| DIFH-iceroot | thomasite: but the commandline is the same on every llinux system :) so its better to know how to to it like that instead of using a gui | 09:16 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: run the recovery-mode | 09:17 |
| economyx | hi all, quick question.. how can i be sure ubuntu recognizes my video card? | 09:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | lj: its not included | 09:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | economyx: which card? | 09:17 |
| lj | DIFH-iceroot ok, thanks | 09:17 |
| roger_ | and from the command line i should run fix x-server? | 09:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | lj: np | 09:17 |
| roger_ | DIFH-iceroot: and then run fix x-server? | 09:18 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: there is a menue with some options and there is a option fix xserver | 09:18 |
| edajai | economyx: go to System menu> administration>hardware drivers | 09:18 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: or go to the command line and rename xorg.conf | 09:18 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: so ubuntu is using a default xorg.xonf | 09:18 |
| economyx | edajai: ok, thanks. DIFH-iceroot: actually i don't know what video card it is | 09:18 |
| geev | which command i have to use to connect to remote server through terminal | 09:18 |
| neztiti | guys my pc take 3 minutes to shutdown bcz i have NTP application . how i can stop it?? i cant remove it bcz i use mythtv . any help??? | 09:18 |
| ay^ | geev: depends on what software you want to access | 09:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | geev: you mean ssh? | 09:19 |
| ljsoftnet | just want to check if my nickname has been change | 09:19 |
| ay^ | geev: but I'd probably assume SSH, thus ssh | 09:19 |
| economyx | edajai: it shows no proprietary drivers | 09:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | geev: ssh user@host | 09:19 |
| geev | DIFH-iceroot: yes | 09:19 |
| sfire | anyone else having trouble with dell laptops and the broadcom BCM4328 wireless? | 09:19 |

| Don | How do I install .tar.gz packeges? | 09:20 |
| elvis | extract | 09:20 |
| edajai | economyx: how old is your computer and do u know wht graphics card it uses | 09:20 |
| roger_ | DIFH-iceroot: so if there is no xorg.conf ubuntu creates a new one? | 09:20 |
| elvis | go to folder | 09:20 |
| ay^ | Don: you unpack them and do as it says in the README or INSTALL | 09:20 |
| ljsoftnet | Don, what are you installing? | 09:20 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: yes, ubuntu maybe has no driver in 8.10 for your card, but xorg.conf say which driver to use and if there driver is not there... it reboots | 09:20 |
| xominous | Anyone know how to remove system notices in xirc? As in the "so and so had joined" stuff. | 09:20 |
| economyx | edajai: i am not sure what card, it's nvidia though. my laptop is less than a year old | 09:20 |
| DIFH-iceroot | roger_: yes | 09:20 |

| scientes | (it displays a vid capture stream) | 09:29 |
| AciD | I installed ubuntu 8.10 and it works great ! Now I installed some kde apps too (by using apt-get install kde). What I don't figure is why the 'systemsettings' (replacement for kcontrol) is so 'empty' : I only have 8 icons in the general tab, and only 'icons' and 'emoticons' in the appeareance one | 09:29 |
| DIFH-iceroot | AciD: you want kubuntu-desktop and not kde | 09:29 |
| Mark1 | ok. Install from CD doesn't really work either, so a hardware issue? it's a Compaq Evo (D-something-or-other) so not exactly obscure system. | 09:30 |

| sfire | ziroday: after running the hardware driver tool for it I don't see it listed in 'ndiswrapper -l' | 09:31 |
| ziroday | sfire: can you reword that? | 09:31 |
| AciD | I'm a kde apps fan, I just don't really like the panel :> but I don't get why there is so few configuration option in systemsettings, I saw a lot more on some screenshots | 09:31 |
| ziroday | AciD: ask in #kubuntu | 09:32 |
| xominous | Mark1: As in, do you see it run and fsck or any errors before it kicks you to there. | 09:32 |
| AciD | will do | 09:32 |

| Mark1 | 8.10 install from CD doesn't fail, but on boot it logs in... and then does nothing, just hangs on black screen (with mouse present) 8.10 upgrade got as far as showing the ubuntu loader, next it's a black screen with a 4 or 5 info lines (all saying OK) ... and then nothing happens. I tried running startx at that point but i think it came back saying that the drivers weren't present. | 09:35 |

| xominous | Mark1: Well that could be several things unfortunately. It's probably best if you could figure out what the last OK was and maybe what it said before it kicked you there. Like if its waiting on any processes or whatever and then kicks you before it gives a FAIL or OK | 09:37 |
| Mark1 | I think the 'remove obsolete packages' thing removed _everything_ Silly me thought that it was upgrading a whole bunch of stuff, but on reflection I think it went horribly, horribly wrong | 09:37 |

| Mark1 | like removed 400 'obsolete' things | 09:38 |
| scientes | fbtv but it complains that there is no console font file | 09:38 |
| scientes | how do i install a console font?? | 09:38 |
| xominous | Mark1: You could also try booting into the rescue kernel. That usually gives more info. | 09:39 |
| bazhang | !fonts | scientes | 09:39 |
| ubottu | scientes: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 09:39 |
| scientes | fonts for console | 09:39 |
| scientes | it cant find any | 09:39 |
| xominous | Mark1: Well rescue mode, technically. | 09:39 |
| Mark1 | I tried rescue, safe mode and all sorts of things - nothing seemed to help unfortunately | 09:39 |
| xominous | Mark1: And yeah, you have to be careful sometimes when removing old packages. :( | 09:39 |
| Intey | re | 09:39 |
| ziroday | Oprtz: that is not a flash video, its probably a .wmv, or .mov, its being streamed by totem's mozilla plugin. You may want to switch to a different one | 09:40 |
| Intey | it seems to be working fine | 09:40 |
| dentex | no sound : Realtek ALC885, parameter alsa-base please | 09:40 |
| FredTC | Okay, I did a clean install of 8.10 and the wireless connection manager STILL isn't giving me the option to enter a WPA passphrase... | 09:40 |
| xominous | Mark1: Well I think the next step would be to figure out the last 2 or 3 things it was saying/doing before it kicks you to the console. That will help us out a lot. | 09:40 |
| Oprtz | ziroday: how to do that SIR ? | 09:40 |
| kieko | OMG!!! | 09:40 |
| kieko | team Ubuntu have done it again! | 09:40 |
| ziroday | Oprtz: well you can install mozilla-plugin-vlc for vlc or mozilla-mplayer for mplayer | 09:40 |
| kieko | another release! Congratulations Team Ubuntu | 09:41 |
| Mark1 | the upgrade gave me no choice about what to remove or not - only that i should either keep or remove them. I chose remove since I'd rtfm and it said to do that :D | 09:41 |
| Oprtz | ziroday: from ADD/Remove program, search for mozilla-mplayer ? | 09:41 |
| ziroday | Oprtz: sure, or you can do it in Synaptic, or through the terminal apt-get or aptitude | 09:42 |

| kieko | The 71 and 96 series of proprietary nVidia drivers, as provided by the nvidia-glx-legacy and nvidia-glx packages in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, are not compatible with the X.Org included in Ubuntu 8.10. Users with the nVidia TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, GeForce2, GeForce3, and GeForce4 chipsets are affected and will be transitioned on upgrade to the free nv driver instead. This driver does not support 3D acceleration. | 09:47 |

| Intey | also, opera crashes on a 5 minutes basis when using torrent is that a known thing or did I fubar something | 09:47 |

| kieko | crdlb, isn't it? | 09:48 |
| ziroday | kieko: the 8500GT is new enough, you are fine | 09:48 |

| rdw200169 | Russian: 1G or 2G should be more than enough | 09:55 |
| AussieGuy | ive got a laptop running ubuntu, when the battery is discarghing the computer makes a really loud screeching noise, which wakes everyone up at night | 09:55 |
| alanbshepard77 | bazhang: i've followed that guide and it still won't work. I've tried firestart numerous times but it always says one of the connection interfaces is not ready when in fact they are. | 09:55 |
| AussieGuy | so I cant really use the comp of a night. any way to disable the screeching sound? | 09:56 |
| rdw200169 | Russian: much more than that and it would be better install more ram | 09:56 |
| ndo | guys, how do upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, best methode? | 09:56 |
| kieko | Russian, yes, 1 or 2 gb plenty | 09:56 |
| moncojhr | i have 2 machines, one is dual booting XP/ubuntu desktop and then my other machine is running ubuntu server, id like to be able to control ubuntu server from the keyboard on my ubuntu desktop machine | 09:56 |
| arie | jhjjjgj | 09:56 |
| Russian | rdw200169 ok I go for 2 then =) | 09:56 |
| rdw200169 | Russian: the swap is more of a backup to the ram, like the windows swap file | 09:56 |
| admiral0 | anyone? | 09:56 |
| bazhang | !upgrade | ndo | 09:56 |
| ubottu | ndo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 09:56 |
| bazhang | arie english | 09:56 |
| rdw200169 | Russian: and it's slow like a windows swap file | 09:56 |
| ndo | ty | 09:56 |
| legend2440 | orkun: open synaptic and click on Origin button. i think that will tell you if any packages are from backports | 09:56 |
| alanbshepard77 | bazhang: Whats the terminal command to run on the client (my server in this case) to reassign dchp or from my laptop to re-issue an ip. If I can get it to work that's all I need. | 09:56 |
| Russian | rdw200169 so the less the better?, cause I have 4 GB of ram | 09:56 |
| jim_p | macvr: your xorg.conf | 09:56 |
| ben2talk | Has anyone seen >>>"This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine '' is not installed"<<< | 09:57 |
| ndo | Privet Russian :) | 09:57 |
| Russian | ndo Zdarova =) | 09:57 |
| rdw200169 | Russian: honestly, if you ever actually do use the Swap, you're in trouble ;) | 09:57 |
| bazhang | alanbshepard77, what I know is in that factoid !ics | 09:57 |
| macvr | jim_p: hei... wait.. just check my xorg... it still says fglrx... is it cause i tried to activate the restricted drivers after adding raedonhd? | 09:58 |
| ben2talk | have many folks here upgraded to 8.10 yet? | 09:58 |
| Oprtz | ziroday: is it normal in ubuntu ( when i double click Windows Network...> windows computer on a wired LAN) it dont show me the shared folders, BUT i can see shared folders of ubuntu from windowsXP | 09:58 |
| Russian | rdw200169 how come, and I want to install it on a laptop =) x64 | 09:58 |
| bazhang | ben2talk, the theme may not meet the new ibex specs yet | 09:58 |
| rdw200169 | Russian: the linux kernel will always prioritize the ram | 09:58 |
| jim_p | macvr: yes! why did you go there? | 09:59 |
| ziroday | Oprtz: are the shared folders on the actual ubuntu machine? | 09:59 |
| rdw200169 | Russian: the Swap is more of a safety precaution | 09:59 |
| ben2talk | Thanks bazhang: it works for root account, and displays fine in there | 09:59 |
| Russian | dw200169 so even 512 mb shoud be enough? | 09:59 |
| Oprtz | ziroday: yes i have some shared folders on ubuntu machine as well as on windowsXP laptop | 09:59 |
| rdw200169 | Russian: it's possible | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | Oprtz, ive noticed it not showing the shres befor.. but i could type in the full path to the shares and it would access them. | 09:59 |
| kieko | Russian, normally one's Ram size is a determining factor. it is ususally 1.5 or 2 x ones ram i believe? | 09:59 |
| macvr | jim_p: cause obviously i'm stupid :-P ... i didnt realize i shouldnt do that.. wait i'll try again and report back... | 09:59 |

| Evdokimos | how dose one install unicode fonts on ubuntu 8.10? | 10:00 |
| rdw200169 | Russian: most people would agree, though, that a gig to 2 gigs is adequate | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | Oprtz, not sure if its gnome thats doing it..or somting going on with windows hideing them | 10:00 |
| Russian | rdw200169 and kieko aah oke thanks =) 2 gig then just to be sure | 10:00 |
| rdw200169 | Evdokimos: if i'm not mistaken, ubuntu already uses Unicode for just about everythin | 10:00 |
| Oprtz | dr_willis: if i disable firewall under windows, will it help ? | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | Oprtz, some times i notice after i access the first share, and enter the user/pass in the dialog that pops up. I can then see the other shares | 10:00 |
| Evdokimos | I want to install extra fonts... | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | Oprtz, could try.. buti got my firewall disabled and it still dosent see them all the time - well it dosen see them when it scans. :) it can access them | 10:01 |
| rdw200169 | Evdokimos: in another language? | 10:01 |
| macvr | jim_p: i dont see a radeonhd in my synaptic... there is only a radeontool!!! | 10:01 |
| Evdokimos | yes, Greek | 10:01 |

| rdw200169 | and add greek | 10:02 |
| Oprtz | dr_willis: i know how to access window shared folders via smb:// computername/shared folder) but ubuntu should show the share folder when we double click windows machine | 10:02 |
| rdw200169 | Evdokimos: it will install all the stuff necessary | 10:02 |

| rdw200169 | Evdokimos: yeah, the ~/.fonts folder is a magic folder for fonts | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | Oprtz, ive noticed some of the other samba 'browser/tools' do see them.. such as the fusesmb tool. and smb4k, and the smbclient tools | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | Oprtz, so im not sure if its gnome at fault, or windows.. or a combo of the 2 | 10:05 |
| Oprtz | cool | 10:05 |

| dr_willis | Oprtz, try them all :) | 10:05 |
| macvr | jim_p: i dont know ... i just am not able to think it straight !!!! i know i installed the xserver... but was checking the wrong thing!!! does it matter if i add as radeonhd / Radeonhd ? do caps matter? | 10:05 |
| Oprtz | dr_willis: hehehehe | 10:05 |

| mitrich | scgi_port - it's option | 10:10 |

| Ta1 | Hello people, I run ubuntu hardy heron on my Celeron 1.1 GHz 256 mb ram computer, But it used to crash upon use of PDF files. I need an advice to enhance my system speed and to get rid of un-nescessary resources consuming processes | 10:46 |
| MrBougo | and I'm using wmctrl-induced fullscreen so I can alt-tab out of it | 10:46 |
| vonderer | hi there… how can I edit keyboard layout? | 10:46 |
| domas | jrib: I'll just open a case with canonical I guess | 10:46 |
| scoobynz | hi there, trying to install adobe reader (acroread) on 64bit intrepid. Have the medibuntu free and non-free repos but still cant see it. Anyone know whats going on? | 10:46 |
| MrBougo | it works, but I have to use sleep 6 then trigger wmctrl so that the window gets maximized, but sometimes it appears *after* 6 seconds and nothing happens | 10:46 |
| digifor | Gnea, thanks for reply. thought maybe a bad list. | 10:46 |
| bazhang | Ta1, you might try xfce or something lighter then | 10:47 |
| Ta1 | bazhang: is xfce faster than gnome? | 10:47 |
| bazhang | Ta1, xfce, fluxbox, lxde and a few others are much lighter | 10:47 |
| Ta1 | bazhang: Thanx bazhang, I will try this | 10:48 |
| bazhang | Ta1, lighter = faster | 10:48 |
| SJrX | Do things have to be -j MASQUEREDE in order for NAT to work | 10:48 |
| MrBougo | sorry, I lost connection... last message I got was "Ta1, you might try xfce or something lighter then" | 10:48 |
| MrBougo | oh | 10:48 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | does exist driver for nvidia g force 4 mx 4400 in ubuntu 8.10? | 10:48 |
| digifor | I notice each time it is hanging 41% on hardy release | 10:48 |
| MrBougo | lianimator, I think I'll give Devil's Pie a try | 10:49 |
| Gnea | C4N-S|SEAL45: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fixing-problems-with-synergy-on-windows-vista/ perhaps | 10:49 |
| MrBougo | sounds like what I'm looking for | 10:49 |
| Ta1 | MrBougo: Thanx I will try to install xfce now | 10:49 |
| MrBougo | uh | 10:49 |
| Gnea | AKADEMIK2283MCZ: could be nvidia-glx-legacy | 10:49 |
| MrBougo | Ta1, bazhang said that, not me | 10:49 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | where can i get it | 10:49 |
| Gnea | that's the name of the package. | 10:49 |
| k1ko | hi all :) | 10:49 |
| Ta1 | MrBougo: Anyway , I will try it :D | 10:50 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | there is nothing on package menager | 10:50 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | or hardware driver | 10:50 |
| Gnea | AKADEMIK2283MCZ: and if you search for nvidia-glx? | 10:50 |
| AKADEMIK2283MCZ | i didn try | 10:50 |
| Gnea | go for it | 10:50 |
| reiki | sudo aptitude search nvidia | 10:50 |

| Ta1 | anders: Thanx | 10:53 |
| domas | jrib: interesting, http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/p/php5/ doesn't have the packages either, so it seems to be broken hardy ddebs process, argh. | 10:53 |

| norbert | Hi guys, i have a little question. I run on console uname -a give me "Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:09:30 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux" But wehen i look into "System Monitor 2.22.3" i only see 3.2Gib. I know for a fact that there is 4GiB on the motherboard. Any thoughts? | 11:00 |
| k1ko | thanks :) | 11:00 |
| bazhang | cpro, turn off compiz; does that speed things up at all? | 11:00 |
| k1ko | norbert: you're running 32 bit ubuntu thats why :) | 11:01 |
| rbanffy | Hi folks. I am having trouble installing 8.10 from a USB stick. Installation aborts at 58% while copying files because some files are corrupted. The conventional USB stick making process seems not to work. | 11:01 |
| norbert | Why dpoes uname give me back then x86_64 ? | 11:01 |
| k1ko | norbert: w8 a sec | 11:01 |
| cpro | bazhang not much | 11:01 |
| Ta1 | is upgrading hardy heron to 8.10 takes less time than downloading the iso image and burning cd? or it is the same? | 11:01 |
| bazhang | cpro, open a terminal and type top; what is eating much of your cpu | 11:02 |
| Rishab | hey all | 11:02 |
| k1ko | norbert: so u have installed x64 version o ubuntu | 11:02 |
| k1ko | ? | 11:02 |
| norbert | Yes as fare as i know i did. | 11:03 |
| cpro | bazhang firefox 21 % | 11:03 |
| alexoandro | hola | 11:03 |
| bazhang | cpro, do you have many plugins for firefox | 11:03 |
| Rishab | well is there any way to increase the speed ?? | 11:03 |
| bazhang | Ta1, depends on your net connection | 11:04 |
| Rishab | application takes too much time for opening | 11:04 |
| sfire | anyone having problems with wireless after upgrading please talk to me.. I've got the solution :) | 11:04 |
| prince_jammys | I assume you'd have more configuration to do if you do a clean install from iso image | 11:04 |
| k1ko | norbert: i'm not an expert... sorry. I have 4gigs too and I install the 32bit ubuntu (4.10) and I thought that it's the same for you | 11:04 |
| bazhang | Rishab, do you have any third party repos | 11:04 |
| mtholdenss | hey | 11:04 |
| Ta1 | bazhang: I mean do I need to download all packages, or it will select specific packages to upgrade the current install | 11:04 |
| zx | how to delete files at DVD-rw? | 11:05 |
| k1ko | (sorry for my english) :-[ | 11:05 |
| Rishab | no i suppose | 11:05 |
| bazhang | Ta1, it will upgrade what you have installed | 11:05 |
| HazardousWaster | t | 11:05 |
| norbert | I understand but that is exactly the reason why i wondert. I know the limition of 32bit ubuntu (any 32bit OS) ;) | 11:05 |
| rbanffy | Hi folks. I am having trouble installing 8.10 from a USB stick. Installation aborts at 58% while copying files because some files are corrupted. The conventional USB stick making process seems not to work. | 11:05 |
| bazhang | Rishab, please paste.ubuntu.com with /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:05 |
| mikebeecham | can anyone tell me what the best torrent software is on Ubuntu? | 11:05 |
| cpro | bazhang i have 10 plugins | 11:05 |
| Rishab | bazhang nothing else | 11:06 |
| bazhang | cpro, try to disable them one by one until you hit the problem one; some of them are huge memory hogs | 11:06 |
| mtholdenss | here is my scenario, i want to use ubuntu as my main os but have to use windows xp for all my adobe cs4 work and my music is there using itunes. i only created a 20 gb partition for ubuntu, and my music library is 30 gb. is it possible to use the itunes Database as a libary in a application here? | 11:06 |
| favro | mikebeecham: I like rtorrent | 11:06 |
| Ta1 | bazhang: so it will not download the whole system? I have installed hardy heron and unfortunately it took 12 hours via network installation | 11:06 |
| mikebeecham | favro...is that similiar or as good as utorrent? | 11:06 |
| cpro | ok | 11:06 |
| cpro | bazhang ok | 11:06 |
| bazhang | cpro, I use adblock plus, flashblock, and quick locale switcher only and firefox is very fast for the same system as yours | 11:06 |
| favro | mikebeecham: it is a lightweight cli torrent client | 11:07 |
| mikebeecham | favro...better than transmission that ships with ubuntu? | 11:07 |
| === ubot4 is now known as k2pp | ||
| Rishab | one more thing bazhang many applications are not available and the new version also in my repo so i need to add some sites for that | 11:07 |
| mtholdenss | i mean an option could be is to have all my music on my xp setup for syncing with itunes, sync it then plug my ipod in when ubuntu is loaded and use songbird to play my music. | 11:07 |
| kieko | OMG! i was upgrading and suddenly my background changed and it hasn't even rebooted yet! how exciting! | 11:07 |
| bazhang | Ta1, well back up then get the torrent and fresh install | 11:07 |
| zx | anybody can help me? | 11:08 |
| bazhang | Rishab, please paste.ubuntu.com the sources.list | 11:08 |
| favro | mikebeecham: that depends on your point of view - it uses less resources and works as well if not better imo | 11:08 |
| mtholdenss | zx, ask your question? | 11:08 |
| Ta1 | bazhang: well, is it easy to install it from hard disk? I couldn't install hardy heron from hard disk as i have no removable media here | 11:08 |
| reiki | anyone else with nvidia seeing video anamolies in title bars when focus changes? | 11:09 |
| rockyrock | Is there any program fro ubuntu like Internet Download Manager in Windows that increases the speed of the download???? | 11:09 |
| zx | I am new guy to use ubuntu, so who can tell me how to format DVD-RW disk? | 11:09 |
| netyire | rockyrock: d4x | 11:09 |
| Rishab | bazhang tell me the complete line to be added | 11:10 |
| bazhang | Ta1, aha; well then net upgrade does seem the best option | 11:10 |
| prince_jammys | rockyrock: there are several download managers available. search in apt | 11:10 |
| mtholdenss | how can i remove the 10 sec timer on grub boot loader? | 11:10 |
| netyire | zx: it's done automatically when you use the built in cd burner in nautilus, or make use of k3b | 11:10 |
| Ta1 | bazhang: Ok thanx for help :) | 11:10 |
| bazhang | Rishab, /etc/apt/sources.list copy that to paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url | 11:10 |
| rockyrock | prince_jammys: i want one that increases the speed, this is my only concern | 11:10 |
| Don | Can some body tell me ware i can find the pack emerald-themes | 11:10 |
| rockyrock | netyire: i want one that increases the speed, this is my only concern | 11:10 |
| prince_jammys | mtholdenss: by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst | 11:10 |
| k1ko | to all actionscripters who use gedit and the compiler of the free Flex SDK: i've made a bash script to compile the .as files and to show the compiled .swf file using the "External Tools" plugin of gedit. if you're interested write to me :) . Just wanted to share.. :) | 11:11 |
| mtholdenss | thanks :) | 11:11 |

| domas | hehe, another support question, kswapd deadlocked jfs on my machine, when filesystem was full, what should I do? :) | 11:11 |
| netyire | rockyrock: do you mind the command prompt? | 11:11 |
| Don | thx | 11:11 |
| netyire | rockyrock: if you use firefox, download the downthemall extension at addons.mozilla.org | 11:11 |
| prince_jammys | mtholdenss: you'll see a 'timeout' line | 11:11 |
| === min is now known as a-min | ||
| rockyrock | netyire: no i just want something powerful like internet download manager | 11:11 |
| zx | i have tried it but tell me error | 11:11 |
| netyire | rockyrock: or use d4x, its a gui | 11:11 |
| frybye | re skype on intrepid with eeepc-701 and kernel from www.array.com - no mike working - any tips!? | 11:11 |
| === a-min is now known as mini-admin | ||
| rockyrock | netyire: is d4x as powerful as Internet download manager? | 11:12 |
| bazhang | frybye, that kernel is not supported here; contact Adam for that | 11:12 |
| rockyrock | netyire: i want the most powerful one | 11:12 |
| joaopinto | frybye, on the skype device config, select your hw micro device | 11:12 |
| rockyrock | netyire: i doj | 11:12 |
| === mini-admin is now known as sagitta | ||
| mtholdenss | prince_jammys, delete the timeout line and save? | 11:12 |
| === sagitta is now known as min-sag | ||
| prince_jammys | mtholdenss: i don't know. you could try changing the number to zero | 11:12 |
| netyire | rockyrock: the most powerful one I know is axel but it's a command line program, you run it with axel -n <number of threads> <file to download> | 11:12 |
| prince_jammys | mtholdenss: i | 11:13 |
| prince_jammys | mtholdenss: i'd do that first, before deleting the line | 11:13 |
| reiki | make it a 1 | 11:13 |
| reiki | not 0 | 11:13 |
| rockyrock | netyire: yeah it doesn't matter wether it's command prompt or gui | 11:13 |
| vonderer | how can I make X.org use mouse driver instead of evdev? | 11:13 |
| reiki | gives you time to hit a key if needed | 11:13 |
| Don | bazhang: but thar is no pack with the name emerald-themes found | 11:13 |
| vonderer | HAL loads it by default, but I need standard mouse driver | 11:13 |
| netyire | rockyrock: go with axel then, works for me even when some of the commercial download managers on windows fail | 11:14 |
| netyire | rockyrock: you can install it from the repos by running "sudo apt-get install axel" in a terminal | 11:14 |
| jrib | vonderer: you can write your own .fdi files and drop them in /etc/hal/ | 11:14 |
| Rishab | bazhang thx | 11:14 |
| zx | i just install ubuntu one week, where have file tell me how to use this OS? | 11:14 |
| bazhang | Don, try at gnome-look.org | 11:14 |
| rockyrock | netyire: have you used internet download manager? | 11:14 |
| pa1-cheru | hi | 11:14 |
| rockyrock | netyire: is it as powerful as IDM? | 11:14 |
| domas | UUIDs are evil | 11:15 |
| domas | for filesystems | 11:15 |
| reiki | UUIDs are awesome! :) | 11:15 |
| netyire | rockyrock: I can't say if I've tried idm, haven't touched windows in a long time, I avoid it like the plague, but I'm sure axel works (you can specify 9999 threads if your system can take it) | 11:15 |
| vonderer | jrib: if I knew how to do it… is there any way to make ubuntu use xorg.conf instead of hal, when loading InputDevices? | 11:15 |
| vonderer | ubuntu 8.10 I mean | 11:16 |
| domas | reiki: lies! filesystems have way shorter life than device names! | 11:16 |
| netyire | rockyrock: do you make use of any particular feature of idm? | 11:16 |
| reiki | vonderer, put the input devices into xorg.conf and that will override hal | 11:16 |
| frybye | bazhang: theoretically I can understand that.. i dont think he runs an irc# though... | 11:16 |
| vonderer | reiki: will it? I mean, it didn't work for keyboard | 11:16 |
| rockyrock | netyire: what do you mean by threads mirrors??? And no i don't use any features, i just need something that accelerate the download as IDM does | 11:16 |
| frybye | joaopinto: bit trying any and everything for an hour or so... | 11:17 |
| bazhang | frybye, that is a completely different kernel than the one from ubuntu; fixes here wont work with his | 11:17 |
| chippy | hotmail users: is hotmail broken with firefox and opera on Ubuntu / linux ? | 11:17 |
| chippy | or is it just me? | 11:17 |
| reiki | vonderer, when I was looking through hal and logs and stuff yesterday, it appears that if you have entries in xorg.conf, they will be used. | 11:17 |
| jrib | vega: and look at /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi to base your own fdi (I think writing your own and dropping it in /etc/hal works and is better than just editing this file) . You can make specify input devices in xorg.conf if you add some options, see 'man xorg.conf' and the AutoAddDevices option | 11:17 |
| pa1-cheru | im using | 11:17 |
| pa1-cheru | hardy heron | 11:17 |
| marshal0605 | chippy it works for me | 11:17 |
| vonderer | reiki: thanks, gonna try that | 11:17 |
| jrib | vonderer: see what I wrote to vega... | 11:17 |
| netyire | rockyrock: axel accelerates downloads, I'm sure it'll suit your needs if you don't require any advance features like scheduling, auto-shutdown on complete, etc | 11:18 |

| rockyrock | netyire: yeah just need to accelerate the download, because i go to internet cafes so i want the program to get most of the speed in the internet cafe | 11:18 |
| netyire | pa1-cheru: check out wine (http://www.winehq.hu) | 11:19 |

| whyking__ | hi | 11:20 |
| whyking__ | I just upgraded to intrepid but I can't get X working with dual monitors.. I was using nvidia drivers with twinview, but since nvidia drivers do not work with X I have to use nv, I reckon it does not support twinview so I would have to use xinerama, correct so far? | 11:20 |
| rockyrock | netyire: do you mean by thread, mirrors?? | 11:20 |
| rbanffy | Hi folks. I am having trouble installing 8.10 from a USB stick. Installation aborts at 58% while copying files because some files are corrupted. The conventional USB stick making process seems not to work. | 11:20 |
| pa1-cheru | 10Q rocky rock | 11:21 |
| pa1-cheru | ive typrd ur command | 11:21 |
| pa1-cheru | its working | 11:21 |
| netyire | rockyrock: threads are the equivalent of chunks in internet download manager, mirrors are alternative servers that also host the file you want (but I didn't mention them ;)) | 11:21 |
| rockyrock | netyire: what are chunks? | 11:22 |
| eoghan | Hi All, just upgraded to intrepid rfom hardy and have got a Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! | 11:22 |
| eoghan | any ideas? | 11:22 |
| whyking__ | eoghan, it does not work with the new X, you have to use nv instead | 11:23 |
| netyire | rockyrock: the program breaks up the file into various parts and downloads them concurrently in processes called threads, this allows the program to download faster by running multiple download procedures at one time | 11:23 |
| netyire | rockyrock: the parts are called chunks | 11:23 |
| eoghan | aah thanks whyking__ | 11:23 |
| Don | can some one help me to get transparent windows ??? | 11:23 |

| dj_ivocha | rbanffy: how big is the stick and how much space is free on it? There are some noname and bootleg sticks that only have 2gb flash memory for example, but their controller thinks they have 4gb so everything over 2gb that you copy is lost | 11:39 |

| wsjunior | When i open my bank website the java applet is loaded but after typing the password firefox gets darker and it freeze, is there any way to fix this behaviour? | 12:56 |

| DB42 | AdamDH: wicd | 12:58 |
| Nkz83 | Don't mind my question, it finally moved. | 12:58 |

| Nkz83 | Another question. In Ubu8.04 there was a downloadable file that would allow me to setup my compiz-fusion preferences. Is there something like that in ubu8.10 too? | 12:59 |

| bast | lvshankar: ashgadgets - which part? I am going to Rajasthan in Feb! | 13:01 |
| ClancyWiggun | how can I change the network name in last ubuntu version? | 13:01 |

| forestpixie | diffred: if that's with 8.10 you need to install the nvidia driver from them or wait for it to be available in the repos | 13:02 |

| TW | hi all | 13:06 |
| lvshankar | babuto: try opening a website by its ip address | 13:06 |
| lvshankar | rien-ne-va-plus: yes..shoot | 13:06 |
| TW | anyone can help me with problems with gnome after the upgrade to 8.10 | 13:06 |
| TW | ? | 13:06 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | I've got an old AMD duron 1000Mhz with 256MB ram | 13:06 |
| ashgadgets | what happened @tw? | 13:06 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | would you recommend running ubuntu or rather xubuntu? | 13:06 |
| ziroday | rien-ne-va-plus: xubuntu | 13:06 |
| TW | i'm not able to login | 13:07 |
| Babuto | DB42, it just contains "nameserver 192.168.1.1" | 13:07 |
| LjL | rien-ne-va-plus: 256MB is tight. however, if you don't pay attention which programs you run, Xubuntu won't make very much difference | 13:07 |
| TW | because the screen came white | 13:07 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | alright | 13:07 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | i'll go for it | 13:07 |
| LjL | rien-ne-va-plus: RAM is cheap, are you sure giving it some more is not an option for you? | 13:07 |
| TW | and i can't do nothing | 13:07 |
| DB42 | Babuto: you got a router on that address ? | 13:07 |
| TW | i see in the background the login | 13:07 |
| Durayne | ubuntu doesnt start anymore | 13:07 |
| LjL | !enter | 13:07 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 13:07 |
| Babuto | yes DB42 | 13:07 |
| TW | i uninstall compiz and i try to use the old xorg.conf with no luck | 13:08 |
| LjL | Durayne: how did you install that driver? | 13:08 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | well its all ive got, ive its SDram, i dont have any modules bigger than 128mb | 13:08 |
| Kiyiko | do we have anything to burn daa images? | 13:08 |
| DB42 | Babuto: it you type "ping www.yahoo.com" does it work ? | 13:08 |
| Babuto | and i can ping the other computer of my network lan | 13:08 |
| lvshankar | bast: what can i do now ? :( | 13:08 |
| bazhang | Kiyiko, no that is proprietary | 13:08 |
| Tyreus | Hi, how do i raise the tx-power of my wlan card? | 13:08 |
| Babuto | DB42 : yes it works | 13:09 |
| LjL | rien-ne-va-plus: ok, well, be prepared for less-than-stellar performance with 256MB, Ubuntu is a bit memory hungry | 13:09 |
| bingungaja | how come i can't find "/home/hendri/.cairo-dock/current_themes/launchers" in nautilus ? | 13:09 |
| ksbalaji | Kiyiko, why not convert to iso with daa2iso ? | 13:09 |
| ashgadgets | @tw are you using a nvidia driver? | 13:09 |
| DB42 | ahh, dunno then | 13:09 |
| Babuto | DB42 : i have to say, i'm not on IRC with the computer that doesn't work | 13:09 |

| Durayne | LjL: I downloaded the package from realtek, then unpacked it and dragged the install.sh into the terminal | 13:09 |
| TW | another thing, checking in gdm.log i see the error: [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop | 13:09 |

| mbelow | hi, i have just done an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 (the XFCE flavor), and now the mouse wheel doesn't work anymore (old sony laptop, vaio vx71p). any ideas where to look for a solution? the menus don't seem to help, the hardware drivers section only offers proprietary drivers for my soft modem | 13:09 |
| Kiyiko | ksbalaj, i will try that, i did that with power iso, and it kill every file/foldername | 13:10 |
| rien-ne-va-plus | LjL: OK, so far I've only run Kubuntu on a much stronger machine, I was now trying to make use of my old machine. should I use something different than ubuntu? | 13:10 |
| LjL | Durayne: installing drivers that way is generally a bad idea, were you sure that your card wasn't "supposed" to work with standard Ubuntu drivers? because if so, that should have been the route to follow | 13:10 |
| LjL | Durayne: anyway, now, i think what might have happened is that there is a kernel module that causes your machine to hang | 13:10 |
| lvshankar | oh ya sure...thanks bast | 13:10 |
| DeVnOrE | I did a upgrade to 8.10 and now my rigg hangs when starting kernel log daemon | 13:10 |
| LjL | Durayne: you should boot from a live CD (if you can't make your normal Ubuntu work at all, even in recovery mode) and find that module | 13:11 |
| bingungaja | how come i can't find "/home/hendri/.cairo-dock/current_themes/launchers" in nautilus ? but i can go to the folder from terminal, help me please | 13:11 |
| Durayne | LjL: actually i can move my mouse and so but the rest of the screen is black | 13:11 |
| LjL | Durayne: can you go to a virtual terminal by hitting ctrl+alt+f1? | 13:11 |

| Durayne | LjL: didnt try that, can i also repair that module with hardy cd if i use intrepid now | 13:12 |
| LjL | TW, are you able perhaps to start in VESA mode? i'm not entirely sure how that's done in Intrepid, since xorg.conf isn't treated the same way as before - but probably you can do that in the "xfix" recovery mode | 13:13 |
| TW | now i'm in recovery mode | 13:13 |
| === aqbel_____- is now known as yuanha | ||
| dxdemetriou | LjL, sorry, gksudo works, the mount on disks inside gnome and other similar don't work | 13:13 |
| LjL | dxdemetriou: do "grep sudo /var/log/auth.log", see if there is anything more meaningful logged there | 13:13 |
| redheat | hi everyone | 13:13 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | hi | 13:14 |
| TW | how i can start in vesa mode? | 13:14 |
| redheat | folks I have a problem with the new edition of Ubuntu Intrepid Ibix, hopefully that's the name cause it sounds like a med, anyhow.. | 13:14 |
| LjL | TW: are you in the xfix recovery mode, or in a console? | 13:14 |
| [`DaGdA`] | Hi all =) | 13:14 |
| redheat | hi | 13:14 |
| TW | console | 13:14 |
| LjL | TW: then restart into the xfix mode. don't you get a menu when going to recovery mode? | 13:14 |
| gyroscope | #slackware | 13:15 |
| Babuto | i have a problem with my internet connection on the pc on which i've tried to upgrade to 8.10. i can ping but i can't browse | 13:15 |
| redheat | I looked inside menu.lst, which the grubs menu that shows all the data regarding bootloader | 13:15 |
| gyroscope | ops | 13:15 |
| gyroscope | :D | 13:15 |
| redheat | now, nowhere can I find the location of my grub listed | 13:15 |
| LjL | redheat: what do you mean, the location of your grub? | 13:15 |
| redheat | I mean for example in Gutsy Gibbon we had for exampke if I installed the grub to hd0,9 I would usually find a line like root (hd0,9) | 13:16 |
| LjL | Babuto: perhaps your Firefox has a proxy set, for some reason? | 13:16 |
| redheat | I can't find it here | 13:16 |
| LjL | Babuto: can you ping hostnames (like www.google.com), or only numeric IP addresses? | 13:16 |
| Babuto | i can ping hostnames | 13:16 |
| Babuto | www.google.com for example works | 13:16 |
| TW | i rebooted and select xfix, it work some seconds and now i'm in the recovery menu, what i do now? | 13:16 |
| redheat | LjL, for example look at this | 13:16 |

| dxdemetriou | LjL, I get something like this "sudo: pam_lwidentity(sudo:account): cannot contact daemon" | 13:18 |
| LjL | redheat: i missed most of it, anyway i have "root" lines in my Hardy for the various OS entries, but i don't see one for GRUB itself | 13:18 |
| redheat | by the way, I am so so sorry for the flooding I apologize..I'm terribly sorry | 13:18 |

| flurble_ | When I install the linux-rt package, the nVidia module which I use always fails to load, so that when I boot the rt image, I'm stuck in a fall-back, non-opengl driver. Is the solution to install linux-headers-rt first, then install linux-rt? | 13:23 |
| [`DaGdA`] | djhash>>> yes, and a LSPCI command don't show any detection problem | 13:23 |
| joneskoo_ | has someone managed to use Network Manager to dial 3G connection? I only get GPRS with Huawei E169 | 13:23 |
| HJ | worng perso =P | 13:23 |
| redheat | in simple terms, if you want to have (whatever) the number of operating systems running together on the same system, along with windows..just install EasyBCD on any windows ,and from there use the data in your menu.lst to add as many OS systems as you want | 13:23 |
| [`DaGdA`] | djhash>>> I can give you my bug report adress if u wish | 13:24 |
| plouffe | Thanks | 13:24 |
| Cahan | so on my xubuntu, I installed ubuntu-desktop, and I have the odd problem of my USB headset working with ALSA in Xfce, but not in GNOME, it claims it is unable to initialise the device | 13:24 |
| redheat | and it worked, the problem is, the location of my grub, the root (hd0,9) is nowhere to be found | 13:24 |
| peacho | Hi, I have a few questions about upgrading Ubuntu. | 13:24 |
| joneskoo_ | I could dial 3G with wwdial earlier | 13:24 |
| djhash | [`DaGdA`]: try "aticonfig --list-adapters" | 13:24 |
| LjL | redheat: so basically that uses the *Windows* bootloader to load other operating systems...? why not just use GRUB itself to do that? | 13:24 |
| redheat | I don't know why, it never happened with Ubuntu 8.04 | 13:24 |
| bingungaja | in nautilus "/home/hendri/.cairo-dock/current_themes/launchers" , i'd already deleted 1 file named "launcher.desktop" , but how come in terminal "ls" the file still exist ? anyone please help me | 13:25 |
| progre55 | lvshankar: it is unmuted | 13:25 |
| redheat | I got used to using the windows boot loader, yet still the question still stands, where did the root go? and what's with this UUID thing? | 13:25 |
| progre55 | sony vaio vgn-fw21e, the mic is not working after upgrade to 8.10. anybody has any suggestions, please | 13:25 |
| lvshankar | installed pulseaudio? | 13:25 |
| WhiteDiesel | in the power management preferences, i have the display option set to sleep after 30min. but it stays on. if i set the actions options to 30min the computer seems to go into hibernate mode but reboots itself when i try to bring it back up. am i doing something wrong? | 13:25 |
| [`DaGdA`] | djhash>>> This command lists used drivers ? | 13:25 |
| peacho | If I download the CD (because I normally download the *.10 iso's), is there a way to upgrade a pre-existing installation (7.04) using the CD? | 13:25 |
| progre55 | lvshankar: dont know, what is that? :) | 13:25 |
| djhash | [`DaGdA`]: it lists if ati config properly detected the cards or not | 13:25 |
| ubuntu_ | lvshankar: are you there ? | 13:25 |
| lvshankar | apt-get install pulseaudio | 13:26 |
| lvshankar | ubuntu- yes i am | 13:26 |
| ubuntu_ | lvshankar: - this is bast on live CD now | 13:26 |
| dxdemetriou | upgrading from hardy to intrepid it was my easiest upgrade from the time I started with breezy.. I hope intrepid to not be like edgy. I don't know why I have this feeling :p | 13:26 |
| redheat | that's what's driving me crazy, yesterday right near the end of my ubuntu installation I installed the Grubto the root sector.. | 13:26 |
| [`DaGdA`] | ok djhash , I'll try it =) | 13:26 |
| [`DaGdA`] | thanks | 13:26 |
| lvshankar | ubuntu_: ibex live? | 13:26 |
| DeVnOrE | I did a upgrade to 8.10 and now my rigg hangs when starting kernel log daemon or something like that. Anybody had the same prob? | 13:26 |
| ziroday | redheat: as harddrives change where they lay, grub now uses UUID's to work out where the drives are located | 13:26 |
| redheat | LjL, you still with me? | 13:26 |
| ksbalaji | this X@# update manager wants to remove my adept and some other applications to upgrade to 8.10. Can someone explain or tell me how to retain the good old adept and other applications? | 13:26 |
| ubuntu_ | lvshankar: I have booted ibex Live on to AMD with SATA disks. I see the disks just fine | 13:26 |
| redheat | so ziroday, what should I do in this case? | 13:26 |
| djhash | [`DaGdA`]: is this the same computer ur chatting on? or is it a different computer? | 13:26 |
| ziroday | redheat: just use grub | 13:27 |
| lvshankar | then i think its my chipset | 13:27 |

| LjL | redheat: i don't know what happened to "root", i'm on Hardy still... UUID is used but i thought it was used for a slightly different thing. can you pastebin your grub.lst, since i missed most of your, err, paste in here? | 13:27 |
| [`DaGdA`] | djhash>>> It's the same, under Ubuntu 8.04 right now | 13:27 |
| digitig | Newbie question. When I try to start Firefox, I get an error "Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process, or restart your system". There's no Firefox window visible. How do I kill the process? I know in MS Windows I'd bring up the task manager using ctrl-alt-del. Is there a Linux equivalent? | 13:27 |
| djhash | [`DaGdA`]: ok before you go | 13:27 |
| lvshankar | MaT-dg: turn your cam upside dow :P | 13:27 |
| ubuntu_ | lvshankar: it does sound that way- what motherboard are you using? | 13:27 |
| progre55 | lvshankar: pulseaudio is already the newest version. | 13:27 |
| ksbalaji | ziroday, I use hardy -ubuntu 8.04 -gnome | 13:27 |
| DeVnOrE | digitig: try killall firefox-bin | 13:27 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | how do i check my ubuntu version | 13:27 |
| Tom_Davis | hey guys, I found an answer to why some of the ibex installs are having sound issues, it installs with the PCM in the mixer set to 0 thus making no sound | 13:27 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | anyone know the command for it? | 13:27 |
| MaT-dg | lvshankar, not an option since it is a build-in webcam (laptop) ;) | 13:28 |
| marshal0605 | XxLordMaiestasxX uname -a | 13:28 |
| redheat | I'll do something else....I'll contact that guy in www.apcmag.com and see if he can update his tutorial on dual booting but this time with Ubuntu 8.10 | 13:28 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | thanks alot | 13:28 |
| ziroday | ksbalaji: its removing adept to install the new kde4 version I believe | 13:28 |
| pepe_swash | Anyone know how to track disk usage per process, please? | 13:28 |
| djhash | [`DaGdA`]: if that command shows you the proper information about ur card.. then run this command "aticonfg --adapter=all --initial".. then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" | 13:28 |
| flurble_ | When I install the linux-rt package, the nVidia module which I use always fails to load, so that when I boot the rt image, I'm stuck in a fall-back, non-opengl driver. Is the solution to install linux-headers-rt first, then install linux-rt? | 13:28 |
| redheat | can't they just make things go easy for once, I mean the last time with Hardy Heron, the wireless sucked, but everything else was okay, now it's the grub.. | 13:28 |
| n8tuser | Tom_Davis-> good find.. | 13:28 |
| sachael | hi guys, how can i redirect the output of a cron job to a text file? | 13:28 |

| ksbalaji | ziroday, if kde4 is to be installed, does adept come alive thereafter? | 13:28 |
| lvshankar | ubuntu_ are you therE? | 13:29 |
| WhiteDiesel | in the power management preferences, i have the display option set to sleep after 30min. but it stays on. if i set the actions options to 30min the computer seems to go into hibernate mode but reboots itself when i try to bring it back up. am i doing something wrong? | 13:29 |
| ziroday | ksbalaji: yep | 13:29 |
| Tom_Davis | n8tuser: made me completely insane, as the master volume was maxed and no sound | 13:29 |
| n8tuser | sachael-> use redirection > | 13:29 |
| redheat | ziroday, LjL, folks, thank you for the help, I better get back to google and more painstaking mind-boggling, eye-oggling searches.. | 13:29 |
| ubuntu_ | lvshankar: yes . sorry - just enjouing first boot of ibex on my main system! | 13:29 |
| digitig | DeVnOrE: It comes back with "No process killed", and Firefox still won't start. | 13:29 |
| redheat | thank you all guys.. | 13:29 |
| sachael | n8tuser, thx i will try it | 13:29 |
| betzi | has the xserver under 8.10 intrepid a new config file, because my xorg.conf is empty.. where can i find the new one? | 13:29 |
| LjL | redheat, err... the fact that they've changed the GRUB format doesn't mean they didn't "make things go easy", it merely means that *you* were using a very awkward setup :o) | 13:29 |
| lvshankar | ubuntu-: am so jealous of you! :) | 13:29 |
| dxdemetriou | anybody knows if I can use samba printer on 8.04 with the option that exist on intrepid "Prompt user if authentication is required"? | 13:29 |
| LjL | people usually use GRUB as their bootloader, and that's what Ubuntu assumes | 13:29 |
| ksbalaji | ziroday, Do I take risk? - any other way to retain my doomed applications? | 13:29 |
| flurble_ | digitig, try killall Firefox | 13:29 |

| Babuto` | i have a problem with my internet connection on the pc on which i've tried to upgrade to 8.10 (not this one). i can ping hostnames but i can't browse | 13:30 |
| redheat | but it doesn't work as it should be always, especially if you have mor OS using the same boot loader over and over again | 13:30 |
| LjL | betzi: X is not configured by other means. however, i don't know about them exactly. | 13:30 |
| peacho | If I download the CD (because I normally download the *.10 iso's), is there a way to upgrade a pre-existing installation (7.04) using the CD? | 13:30 |
| ziroday | ksbalaji: well they're not necessarily "doomed" and you can always reinstall them if they disappear in intrepid | 13:30 |
| stage3 | digitig, do: pkill firefox | 13:30 |

| Malthusian1 | hi Frogzoo | 13:30 |
| n8tuser | sachel > is to create file if doesnt exist and write to it, >> appends to an existing file, i think it errors if file does not exist | 13:30 |
| Tom_Davis | widget: change your number of desktops to 4 not 2 | 13:30 |
| ziroday | peacho: you have to upgrade to 7.10 first and then to 8.04 and then to 8.10 | 13:31 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | i am lazy | 13:31 |
| ziroday | Widget: you have to add more windows | 13:31 |

| djhash | i use an awkward setup.. grub never lists my devices properly :-) | 13:31 |
| [`DaGdA`] | djhash>>> "aticonfig" is not recognized ?! | 13:31 |
| ksbalaji | ziroday, Yes! if they are a few. This update manage wants to remove 58 of my applications! | 13:31 |
| peacho | ziroday: so there's no way to do an upgrade from a CD? (regardless of version) | 13:31 |
| Ayabara | my theme manager says a theme won't look like it should because I'm missing a gtk-engine. how can I find out which one?? | 13:31 |
| Malthusian1 | why ucuntu not booting for me llike it obviosuly did for you guys | 13:31 |
| LjL | peacho, ziroday: and that cannot be done using the CD, anyway | 13:31 |
| ziroday | ksbalaji: you can always write em down, and then reinstall them if they're not there | 13:31 |
| w00t | is it possible to mount /tmp noexec? | 13:32 |
| peacho | aww darn | 13:32 |
| ksbalaji | ziroday, I cannot also take a list of them. manager does not allow copying! | 13:32 |
| digitig | DeVnOrE: Ok, with an added sudo that worked. I take it there's no nice graphical task manager, then. | 13:32 |
| dimitris | I have a strange problem. When I mount a samba drive on the desktop and right click on it the "paste into folder" option of the menu keeps flashing/flickering. This only happens with mounted drives. Anyone noticed anything similar? | 13:32 |
| LjL | peacho: there is with the Alternate CD, but what does that gain? upgrading from the internet is swiftier, and in any case, you need to go through all versions | 13:32 |
| TW | other hints for trying to resolve my freezing on gnome login screen? | 13:32 |
| LjL | peacho: honestly if you're left so much behind in versions, i'd reinstall from scratch rather than upgrade | 13:32 |
| ksbalaji | ziroday, ok - as you say, change is always better. - | 13:32 |

| peacho | LjL: If jumping versions via CD was possible, it would be lighter, as the download of 7.10-8.04 is 633MB, which is practically the size of the CD. | 13:38 |
| bazhang | lolmac, check the release notes | 13:38 |
| Dabbu | lvshankar: ubuntu ? | 13:38 |

| RetrogradeCultur | when I try to ssh, the program just "hangs" and I have to ^C out of it. i tried rebooting etc, there are no other ssh processes running. anyone know what cuold be wrong? | 13:38 |
| LjL | Durayne: if you can access that, you can try fixing it from there. but to do that, you need to find out what module the driver installed. try doing "lsmod", and see if there is anything that looks like your card's driver | 13:38 |
| Dabbu | bazhang: there is no one there | 13:38 |
| lolmac | bazhang | 13:38 |
| lolmac | but | 13:38 |
| lvshankar | Dabbu: i meant, ubuntu-offtopic | 13:38 |
| lolmac | it worked with 7.04,7.10 isn't a driver problem? | 13:39 |
| alfredo0815 | lvshankar, yes, but no irc with pidgin | 13:39 |
| LjL | peacho: jumping versions is just not possible, because the upgrade process is the same whether you do it from the internet or from CD packages | 13:39 |

| jrib | cousteau: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-96/+bug/251107 probably a good idea to subscribe to that. Looks like packages should be hitting -proposed soon from the comments | 14:01 |

| Guest93966 | just installed Intrepid and when I playback anything this is no bass | 14:01 |
| dsop | Tom_Davis: because ubuntu doesn't ask if I want to install grub or not | 14:01 |
| n8tuser | dsop-> you can try it i guess, i didnt know you have another boot loader..you have to tell the whole story so we dont make assumptions | 14:01 |
| Tom_Davis | dsop: if your solaris grub is able to boot ubuntu, I see no reason not to uninstall it from ubuntu | 14:01 |
| Guest93966 | have tried looking in the forums but I can't seem to find a solution | 14:02 |

| BrokenTux | yeah, wish I hadn't made the "early adopter" mistake myself | 15:03 |
| xomp | n8tuser, I upgraded another of my PC's to ibex and it runs so much quicker/smoother. Only thing is I use Gnome on it and KDE on this one :( | 15:03 |
| ycy | hi there how can I upgrade hardy to ibex using commandline only? | 15:03 |
| Babu | alfredo0815 you have ideas that couldn't be easily explained ? | 15:03 |
| Steve[cug] | what needs to be done for 8.10 for LDAP authentication? I noticed that the common-* files in /etc/pamd.d already have information for ldap, however after adding ldap to nsswitch.conf and configuring the machine to talk to the ldap server, I don't see the users in getent passwd | 15:03 |
| n8tuser | xomp-> well hang around anyways and just observed, see if you're convince to really upgrade as oppose to fresh install | 15:04 |
| djcb | jrib: thanks -- but I can't find the kernel dbsym there | 15:04 |
| jrib | djcb: don't know then | 15:04 |
| n8tuser | Steve[cug]-> i dont know the full details, but im sure its related to PAM module | 15:04 |
| Babu | n8tuser i can't restore my PC to the date of yesterday ? | 15:05 |
| bazhang | CharelB, what about ifconfig please (paste.ubuntu.com) | 15:05 |
| xomp | n8tuser, I've not had any issues upgrading. I just need to know how to get the 6 hour process started from in KDE lol | 15:05 |
| Steve[cug] | n8tuser: agreed, however if you look in the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file for example, it looks like it already has something in there for ldap | 15:05 |
| djungelkraem | how do i make my 200Gb internal harddrive writeable? | 15:05 |
| Steve[cug] | however isnt working | 15:05 |
| n8tuser | Babu-> why the need to restore from yesterday ? anything critical about yesterday? | 15:05 |
| djcb | jrib: e.g., https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/intrepid-changes/2008-August/005724.html | 15:05 |

| roizlo | join/cow | 15:05 |
| djcb | speaks about this debug-image, but I cannot find the actual package :( | 15:06 |
| Babu | n8tuser yesterday it was working, then i tried to upgrade, and the upgrade fails and now it is not working anymore ; so if i could come back to yesterday, it would be good | 15:06 |
| perlmonkey | ive just built a new computer server and attempted to install 8.04 LTS but im having a strange problem..although it boots ok and the language and keyboard part comes up fine, when it gets to the next stage it goes onto a black screen with lots of what looks like "exception" errors.. and then blank screen with flashing cursor.. i ran a disk test and the same thing happens... I've burnt two cd's and exactly the same thing hap | 15:06 |
| n8tuser | Steve[cug]-> but the PAM modules there may be compiled for older libraries? this is for new right? so it may not have it yet? | 15:06 |
| reiki | elamsusa, I think I'm going to stick with 8.04 for a while. I'm just not seeing a compelling reason to go to Intrepid | 15:06 |
| elamsusa | I tried to get it working, no luck so far | 15:06 |
| juncong | I agree with elamsusa | 15:06 |
| n8tuser | Babu-> i dont know, thats the risk one take for not saving a backup before doing a major upgrade | 15:07 |

In s-j, all the Disc menu items are grayed out, except eject, reread and quit. How can I rip the OST? /media/cdrom is not mounted | 15:18 |

| n8tuser | NicEXE-> if you use the file command against that iso, what does it shows? | 15:18 |
| xomp | bazhang, I'm trying to update from Hardy to Ibex within KDE, but I'm not finding it like I did in Gnome on my other machine so I'm lost as to how to do it. | 15:19 |

| NicEXE | n8user: what file command? | 15:19 |
| bazhang | xomp, did you read the !upgrade guide? | 15:19 |

| perlmonkey | j_77: have you tried running the Network Manager | 15:20 |
| bazhang | xomp, you could do it that way or change your sources.list and update then dist-upgrade | 15:20 |
| j_77 | yes | 15:20 |
| j_77 | it doesnt show up there | 15:20 |

| bazhang | spana, main issue would be the wireless imo | 15:30 |
| rmn | n8tuser, it's just odd because i used this exact wiring with etch for over half a year | 15:30 |
| perlmonkey | j_77: you know the correct device name will be reported in dmesg when you start networking | 15:30 |
| Qoel | csilk i cant find a bug report | 15:30 |
| dasch | LimCore: you could use sendmail for this | 15:30 |
| bazhang | spana, if it is intel then no worries | 15:30 |

I'll boot to it once in a while and let it grab updates and see if things straighten out. I usually wait 2 to 4 weeks before installing a new version because of problems way back upgrading from the 6.XX series. Installing Intrepid on release day is reinforcing my reasoning :) | 15:45 |

| cbau | Hey all! | 16:09 |
| cbau | I'm running on a Macbook Pro, was dual booting OS X and Ubuntu. Installed Ubuntu over top of the Boot Camp partition. The problem is, it will not let me boot off of a live or install CD. When I attempt, it goes straight to GRUB, and refuses to load any CD/DVDs. Any thoughts on why it won't let me boot from a CD? | 16:09 |
| jrib | van: pastebin what your /etc/fstab looks like now | 16:09 |
| Durayne | LjL : would it help u if I sent you the programm code of the install.sh? | 16:09 |
| titon | jrib: i am subscribing to it already hehehe my nick is there. thx though. figured if anyone had any more info on the work in progress | 16:09 |
| young_ | I have updated my system from 7.10, now there is so many software, I don't reinstall it from new | 16:09 |
| HorizonXP | n8tuser: thanks, i appreciate it :) | 16:09 |
| LjL | Durayne: can try | 16:09 |
| jrib | cbau: you are holding down the 'c' key? | 16:09 |
| young_ | and my computer shutdown slow too | 16:09 |
| perlmonkey | cbau: is that with all CDs? check your bios options maybe..sometimes cd booting can be disabled | 16:09 |
| MaT-dg | young_, did you have wicd as your network-manager in 7.10? | 16:09 |
| cbau | no, let me try that real fast jrib | 16:09 |
| cbau | it's a Mac box | 16:10 |

| wassy121 | So, check it. I just upgraded to Ibex last night. Most everything is playing well, except for the "Places" menu in the panel. In there is the "Windows Network" link, which links to smb:/// (notice the extra slash). When I click on it, it says "no application is registered to handle this file". Where can I edit that link to remove the trailing slash? | 16:10 |
| cbau | I'll be back, gonna work that | 16:10 |
| young_ | yes, I am always using wicd | 16:10 |
| haostun | hi, can somebody help me installing the driver for my graphics card... i'm trying tu install intel drivers from http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ | 16:10 |
| wassy121 | smb://OTHERCOMPUTER/ works just fine. | 16:10 |
| UserC | platius: no i haven't gone through that.. but i don't really understand it | 16:10 |
| young_ | wicd works well on my computer | 16:10 |
| jrib | van: so it seems to be using vfat, not ntfs. What does 'df -h' return? | 16:10 |
| LjL | haostun: why would you do that, ubuntu *comes* with working intel drivers as far as i know | 16:11 |
| perlmonkey | well my system does not seem to like Ubuntu 8.04 or Ubuntu 8.04 does not like my system. :-/ | 16:11 |
| DoDisturb | Unetbootin doesn't have the 8.10 distro, should I just chose the 8.04 then? | 16:11 |
| MaT-dg | young_, I know what u mean with that problem, also had wicd and after updating to 8.10 it was totally screwed :( | 16:11 |
| van | jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1242417 | 16:11 |
| perlmonkey | this is very bad news | 16:11 |
| LjL | DoDisturb: unetbootin just puts an .iso on a usb key (and the files needed to boot), you just need to point it to the iso. | 16:11 |
| AnAnt | perlmonkey: what's your system ? | 16:11 |
| haostun | LjL... the drivers that cames with ubuntu are not working properly for me :( | 16:11 |
| jrib | van: how about 'sudo fdisk -l' | 16:11 |
| LjL | haostun: then try to solve *that* problem | 16:12 |

| Ferrenrock | jrib: well I'm not using ubuntu :P | 16:13 |
| andresj | hey guys did u run into any problems upgrading to intrepid? i want to see if it is worth it or i should just prepare and reinstall. | 16:13 |
| Ferrenrock | but you'd think it would be the same | 16:13 |
| jrib | Ferrenrock: heh | 16:13 |
| perlmonkey | AnAnt: cd test fails also, yet CD tests fine and installs to end on another system | 16:13 |

| spanther | https://help.ubuntu.com/ <-- ubuntu 8.10 isnt listed as truly newest :) | 16:13 |

| haostun | LjL: i dont know what to do, my problem is whit a game, the fps just sux, 0-10... i can play that way! can u help me? | 16:13 |
| MaT-dg | andresj, yes be sure you do NOT have wicd as your network manager | 16:13 |
| AnAnt | perlmonkey: hmmmm, problem with your optical drive maybe ? | 16:13 |
| ikonia | tovella what new features are these ? | 16:13 |
| perlmonkey | could be, seems logical I did not think of that | 16:14 |

| perlmonkey | easy to replace | 16:14 |
| cbau | bah, I'm back. jrib, I attempted the C key, and it did the same thing as option key. It will attempt to boot from the CD, but then GRUB grabs it and boots into Ubuntu, for no clear reason. | 16:14 |

| titon | i find wicd is way better | 16:14 |
| MaT-dg | young_, I also had wicd as my network manager | 16:14 |

| MaT-dg | titon, yes and no, it connects better than the default manager but I can't have 2 interfaces at the same time :S | 16:15 |

| jrib | van: oh, ok. You want help editing /etc/fstab then? Pastebin: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 16:17 |
| ikonia | tovella: and saying that these new features make 8.04 not worth bothering with a a bad statment to make to people | 16:17 |

| tovella | second, my comment was with regard to the comparison between two different versions of ubuntu. what i meant was that if someone has the capability of obtaining the newer version (with the "new feature"), i personally would devote resources to getting that, as opposed to 8.04 (again, unless LTS is needed). I used 8.04 from alpha 1 through long after the official release, and I loved it. Now my love has gone in a new direction - 8.10. I | 16:24 |

| [TiZ] | kalosaurusrex1: Oh, I see. I'll do that if I can't fix it then. I was considering a switch to 64-bit ubuntu anyways... | 16:37 |
| van | n8user: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 | 16:37 |
| dwees | I don't seem to have GUI access in Ubuntu 8.10 and I don't have 8.10 listed in Grub | 16:37 |
| van | n8tuser: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 | 16:37 |
| n8tuser | van okay and what happens? | 16:37 |
| kalosaurusrex1 | [TiZ]: if you run gparted and look at the partitons is the /dev/hda7 your /home? | 16:38 |
| Legendario | Hello. If I am not mistaken, the usb install was part of the intrepid feature list. Has anyone heard something? I found nothing on the site... | 16:38 |
| Varanger | Patapon: Yeah, it is right | 16:38 |
| rmn | prince_jammys, n8tuser , managed to kill it. for whatever reason kill in bash doesn't seem as powerful as it used to be. more and more frequently i have to go the gui to kill a process properly | 16:38 |
| n8tuser | Legendario-> some were successful, | 16:38 |
| [TiZ] | /dev/hda7 is indeed my home. I made this home partition using the psychocats guide. | 16:38 |
| ottoshmidt | can anyone assist me in solving a problem? | 16:38 |
| van | n8tuser: http://pastebin.ca/1242436 | 16:38 |
| Varanger | Patapon: I even burned the cd for a second time in slower speed | 16:38 |
| n8tuser | rmn behind a gui is a bash script or command | 16:38 |
| jacekowski | NetworkManager in 8.10 is fucked up | 16:38 |
| prince_jammys | rmn: it probably ended up sending a different signal | 16:38 |
| bazhang | jacekowski, no cursing | 16:39 |
| ikonia | jacekowski: please wach your language | 16:39 |
| van | n8tuser: i tried to forceit then it freeze, had to force reboot | 16:39 |
| Legendario | n8tuser, how should i do to make such a install | 16:39 |
| Legendario | ? | 16:39 |
| rmn | n8tuser, yes, but apparently a different one than just kill. | 16:39 |
| platius | UserC when you install medibuntu the nonfree apps then appear in the synaptic package manager for easier installs | 16:39 |
| [TiZ] | kalosaurusrex1: I remember specifically that gparted messed up the order of my partition table, but it didn't really seem to hurt anything. | 16:39 |
| Patapon | <Varanger> No idea then : / | 16:39 |
| perlmonkey | otto: tis generally best if you ask the specific question or state your problem, rather than asking to ask it | 16:39 |
| prince_jammys | rmn: the gui probably attempts 'friendly' signals, and gradually more 'ugly' signals to kill it | 16:39 |
| n8tuser | van perhaps when you shutdown your ntfs partition in windows, it did not shutdown correctly, reboot into windows and shutdown properly then back to linux | 16:39 |
| [TiZ] | kalosaurusrex1: So in case you missed it 'cos I didn't blink you, yes, /dev/hda7 is my /home. :) | 16:39 |
| van | n8tuser: i dont hav windows anymore | 16:40 |
| rmn | prince_jammys, so, eh... what's the ugliest way of killing? | 16:40 |
| Axz | !changethemes | 16:40 |

| Patapon | <Varanger> said it was un update, right ? | 16:40 |
| tboxmy | anyone knows y I cant get my wireless connection even though it says signal strength >90% on kubuntu? | 16:40 |
| prince_jammys | rmn: (usually NOT desirable) | 16:40 |
| rmn | prince_jammys, kill -9 pid | 16:40 |
| tboxmy | Its lenovo and intel3945 | 16:40 |
| n8tuser | van then you cant, some ntfs partitions if not shutdown properly can not be mounted in ubuntu | 16:40 |
| prince_jammys | rmn: yes, but should not be abused. rarely needed. | 16:40 |
| bazhang | tboxmy, what does ifconfig show | 16:40 |
| van | n8user: is there a way to fix it in ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| bazhang | tboxmy, and is the hotspot open or closed | 16:41 |
| n8tuser | van i dont know of anyone able to fix it in ubuntu | 16:41 |
| rmn | prince_jammys, and would i be right in assuming that the kill can then be graduated by -3 -4 ... -9 ? | 16:41 |
| Varanger | Patapon: Clean install. | 16:41 |
| bazhang | tboxmy, out put of sudo dhclient <interface> in paste.ubuntu.com please | 16:41 |
| Legendario | n8tuser, this is weird cause i couldn't find any instruction on how to make such a install | 16:41 |
| threeseas | help - system after intrepid upgrade seems to slow down and become unusable. | 16:41 |
| prince_jammys | rmn: no. 'man kill' lists the signals, and their respective numbers | 16:41 |
| Varanger | Legendario: lol, I have a Legendario WoW character | 16:41 |
| n8tuser | Legendario-> i dont use 8.10 yet..so cant help there dude..sowee | 16:42 |
| Patapon | @Varanger BRB checking on the french forums : might have read something similar a while ago | 16:42 |
| rmn | prince_jammys, ok. thank you. | 16:42 |
| prince_jammys | rmn: though that 'kill' is not the actual one that bash uses. bash has its own builtin kill command | 16:42 |
| kalosaurusrex1 | [TiZ]: well yes. but I want to verify that /dev/hda7 still = /home. IE it could be that after the upgrade for some reason the /dev/hda7 changed to /dev/hdaX and now ubuntu can't find the /home | 16:42 |
| van | n8tuser: jrib said to use some application but my os crash before i was able to read wha the said | 16:42 |
| prince_jammys | rmn: but the signal names are the same | 16:42 |

| Gaby | Hi there, I have upgraded my ubuntu and have problems with the screen. I have changed the resolution and now I have lines across so I cannot change it back the normal. How can I change it back? | 16:59 |
| perlmonkey | spazm: i once used a little utility called photorec and theres another related one which comes with it, it can restore lost or corrupted partitions and individual files, should be a last resort measure tho | 16:59 |
| Fade | xev sees all the buttons | 16:59 |

| spazm | perlmonkey: yea, that's what I am trying... different "undelete" apps | 17:00 |

| Fade | jrib: well, historically middle mouse was mapped to the rearmost button above the thumbwheel. | 17:01 |

| R0b0t1 | Azhi_Dahaka: Any major changes? | 17:01 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | UH? | 17:02 |
| jrib | Fade: ok. mapped how? | 17:02 |
| van | n8tuser: and if i want to format my harddrive and mount it how can i do ,. sinc it do not let me mount as NTFS | 17:02 |
| linuxnoop | ok thx | 17:02 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | What are you talking about, prince_jammys? | 17:02 |
| R0b0t1 | Azhi_Dahaka: Graphical changes. | 17:02 |
| Fade | X just mapped it there automatically. | 17:02 |
| ahmad | jrib, ok, i tried but when i'm trying to launch eclipse from that ntfs keeps telling me "there's no app to run this type" or "permission denied" | 17:02 |
| n8tuser | R0b0t1-> i'd do a fresh install it was me | 17:02 |

| perlmonkey | andresj: if you do want dedicated server, any old machine will do, something you can pick up for <$40 | 17:11 |
| DaveCave | most routers come with a built in log | 17:11 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | So, one folder is installed as /home and the rest od the partition at /misc | 17:11 |

| xominous | ahmad: What extension is the file you're trying to run? | 17:11 |
| Fade | jrib: I'll take a look. thank you | 17:11 |

| DaveCave | np | 17:12 |
| ahmad | xominous, nothing. it's just 'eclipse' | 17:12 |
| n8tuser | think_linux-> if your router is linux base and have a memory space, yes you can | 17:12 |
| RinTinTigger | Mat-dg how? | 17:12 |
| perlmonkey | andresj: oh in that case just install a 2nd had drive i would, and make a backup to that, like a cron job for periodic copying | 17:12 |
| ValentineXX | my ubuntu have graphics auto installed but no sound | 17:12 |

| dli_ | NicEXE, do you know your kernel partition dev? like /dev/hda1? | 17:28 |
| larsivi | dli_: you seem to know about this - when restarting after the distupgrade for ibex, / is mounted as read-only | 17:28 |
| kevinhuff | yep, can't boot to the live either | 17:28 |
| OsamaK | DracNoc: you answered me? | 17:28 |
| larsivi | how can I find out why that happens? | 17:28 |
| NicEXE | dli_: is the partition with linux init (right?) | 17:28 |
| kitche | dwees: should load automatically ubuntu adds a line to grub for each new kernel automatically | 17:28 |
| jimmio | Hello all. What do I use to direct a bash script's output to a file? | 17:28 |
| n8tuser | kevinhuff-> a running linux already? | 17:28 |

| kevinhuff | I was running 8.04 and decied to make the leap | 17:28 |
| dwees | kitche: except it didn't | 17:28 |
| dli_ | larsivi, most likely, you need "fsck" | 17:29 |
| ganymede | hello, i have just turned on my ubuntu machine and killed all X-related stuff to get a console system. the ram usage was 45 MB. then, after ssh-ing in, sudo apt-get removing a bunch of stuff, running a few small perl scripts, and restarting hald a couple of times, the ram usage went up to 200 MB. (this is after subtracting cache and buffers) does anyone know how this could happen? if i add up the output of ps aux mem field, it doens't add up to | 17:29 |
| ganymede | 200 MB so i think that extra 150 MB is in-kernel allocations. (if it makes any difference, one of the command lines i ran was about 5 KB long and contained 500 arguments) | 17:29 |
| Fade | jimmio: '>' or ">>" | 17:29 |
| kitche | dwees: then add it just follow the same line as your other kernels | 17:29 |
| n8tuser | kevinhuff-> what happened to the net access? | 17:29 |
| NicEXE | dli_: what file changing is needed? | 17:29 |
| kevinhuff | I did a fresh install. And it isn't there | 17:29 |
| OsamaK | DracNoc: I had a connection problem, sorry, what's the package again? it would be better if you tell me the package as in sudo apt-get install [name] | 17:29 |

| dwees | nod | 17:29 |
| jimmio | Fade: So sh ./compile >> log.txt? | 17:29 |
| dli_ | NicEXE, just hit "e" in grub to modify the lines | 17:29 |

| RinTinTigger | but my first time with problems like this | 17:30 |
| dli_ | larsivi, yes, like " fsck -y -f /dev/hda1" | 17:30 |
| NicEXE | dli_: replace what with what? | 17:30 |
| dli_ | larsivi, since it's mounted ro, you should be able to fsck / | 17:30 |

| Fade | jimmio: the difference between > and >> is that > clobbers any existing files and >> appends to them. | 17:30 |

| MnemonicPunk | Hello there. =) I have a problem when installing 8.10 from the release image. It boots up fine but it does not let me use my mouse and keyboard. Didn't find any hints on how to fix that, does anyone know? I've been searching for a while now and the bug seems to be known, I just need some way to fix it so I can at least install 8.10 on my PC. =( | 17:41 |
| DefunctProcess | Nece228, phoronix.com agrees with you. | 17:41 |
| ay^ | dwees: copy the xorg.conf from livecd to your install | 17:41 |
| n8tuser | carpediem-> if you do a file root.disk what is the response? | 17:41 |
| MaT-dg | RinTinTigger, okay go to System > Admin.. > Hardware Drivers again... still nothing? | 17:41 |
| VilasBoas | Hy i can't enable may wireless pelase help me | 17:41 |
| VilasBoas | I have a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) and the driver is the ipw2100 | 17:41 |
| VilasBoas | i have to use windows xp to use wireless :'( | 17:41 |
| billybigrigger_ | anyone here gotten ibex to install their nvidia drivers (177) ??? mine just sits at 0% | 17:41 |
| Guest77465 | ay^: the xp cd has it ? or should i boot it thru windows xp and look for fixmbr ?? | 17:41 |
| Fade | Nece228: there's some actual data showing that ubuntu has declined in performance since 7.04 | 17:41 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, not sure whether this helps, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6076972#post6076972 | 17:41 |
| ay^ | Guest77465: the CD has it, in the installer | 17:41 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg: still nothing | 17:41 |
| Fade | Nece228: although this is likely related to big changes in scheduling and vm in the kernel. | 17:41 |
| ay^ | Guest77465: but you dont have to install it of course, just boot the cd and it's there | 17:41 |
| ASTURIAS | dli_: I will check it, thanks. | 17:41 |
| ljuwaidah | I'm running 8.10 and it seems that I'm having a problem with dhcp | 17:41 |
| hardwired | billybigrigger_: not that it'd help you much, but mine installed without problems | 17:42 |
| squarebracket | is there a way to set different default display managers for different users? | 17:42 |
| DracNoc | Osamak: if you installed hubackup, it wil also install "hurestore" (as a dependancy). It's the twin program to the backup. | 17:42 |
| ljuwaidah | I can't connect to any network that uses dhcp | 17:42 |
| Nece228 | Fade: so linux is moving same way as windows | 17:42 |
| ljuwaidah | actuallly | 17:42 |
| MaT-dg | billybigrigger, sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-177 in terminal | 17:42 |
| ljuwaidah | I'm not quite sure | 17:42 |
| Guest77465 | ay^: boot from the cd ? will it give me the option ? | 17:42 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, I got tortured by both nvidia and ati, now, I'm glad, I ended up with ati | 17:42 |
| ElijahDuBarryVT | what does it mean this: Either --appname or --package arguments are required, it's show when I try to start bug-buddy | 17:42 |
| billybigrigger_ | hardwired, hah i tried the other day (release day) over and over and it just hung on 0% and i think i tried the day after...just went to go check it again and its done, so just slooow servers :P | 17:42 |
| ay^ | Guest77465: yes! look out for something about recovery | 17:42 |
| DefunctProcess | any particular reason why I get a grub error 17 when trying to boot 8.10 from a USB stick made with unetbootin? | 17:42 |
| Andeh | Hello. Virtualbox can't compile a new kernel driver after upgrading to 8.10. | 17:43 |
| Andeh | http://pastebin.com/d763a4ef8 | 17:43 |
| Fade | Nece228: I think linux is going through major architectural changes that have caused some performance regressions that will be fixed. | 17:43 |
| MaT-dg | RinTinTigger, okay I'll google for a while | 17:43 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ay^, Recovery Console? | 17:43 |
| Guest77465 | ay^: ok cool ... thank man | 17:43 |
| ay^ | DefunctProcess: I have no clue, bot you ain tthe first one to complain about it | 17:43 |
| MnemonicPunk | Damn... =( That stuff works on Windows, why doesn't it work on Linux? | 17:43 |
| ay^ | FreshUbuntuNoob: yeah that might be the name of it :) | 17:43 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg thanks 4 help, i restqa | 17:43 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg thanks 4 help, i restq | 17:43 |
| Nece228 | Fade: but the new kernel didnt have any new major features | 17:43 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: what styff? | 17:43 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg thanks 4 help, i restart the whole system in the meantime | 17:43 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | Guest77465, Recovery Console should be the option. Be on the lookout for it | 17:43 |
| ljuwaidah | Anyone? I'm having a problem connecting to my home wireless network | 17:43 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: Mouse and keyboard. | 17:43 |
| Fade | Nece228: the major changes came in since 7.04 | 17:44 |
| jaypur | how do i install the nvidia driver? | 17:44 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: oh.. | 17:44 |
| Fade | wrt ubuntu | 17:44 |
| DefunctProcess | ay^, i just tried to rewrite the usb stick and now i get a new error, it says it cant find the boot image linux ..... | 17:44 |
| Fade | but the scheduler has changed radically | 17:44 |
| ljuwaidah | I can use the cable straight from the dsl modem but I can't connect to the wireless network | 17:44 |
| OsamaK | DracNoc: It's buggy <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hubackup/+bug/64594> | 17:44 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: They even work on my 8.04 install. Just not with 8.10 =( | 17:44 |
| Andeh | Also, unrelated to initial problem: System > About Ubuntu is missing some text in this version "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu - the - released in ." | 17:44 |
| Nece228 | Fade: for example? | 17:44 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: are they USB? | 17:44 |
| ljuwaidah | the card is working fine | 17:44 |
| ljuwaidah | it does detect networks | 17:44 |
| n8tuser | carpeliam-> -> if you do a file root.disk what is the response? | 17:44 |
| Guest77465 | ay^: oh by the way ... my method of removing ubuntu will be ok right ? im thinking of using the windows disk manager tool to remove the linux and swap partitions and then formatting em into ntfs i guess | 17:44 |
| ay^ | DefunctProcess: okay, still I have no idea whats wrong | 17:44 |
| larsivi | dli_: no change after fsck and rebooting | 17:44 |
| DracNoc | Osamak: I just noticed that. Searching for alternatives now. | 17:44 |
| ljuwaidah | but I can't connect, it stops at "getting address" | 17:44 |
| tacone | hello, I installed intrepid in another partition than hardy, with a separate /boot partition. how to make my system look into that new /boot partition instead of the old hardy's partition ? | 17:44 |
| Fade | Nece228: this is documented ad nauseum in the kernel release notes which you can read at kernel.org | 17:44 |
| ay^ | Guest77465: yeah that should work fine | 17:44 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: Don't know how the keyboard is wired (it's a laptop xD) but the mouse is USB, yes. | 17:44 |
| ljuwaidah | same thing happened in the college today, I couldn't even connect using the cable there | 17:45 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: ergh.. then it kind of sucks.. | 17:45 |
| n8tuser | tacone add an entry in the primary boot loader menu.lst | 17:45 |
| dli_ | larsivi, still "ro"? | 17:45 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: about the keyboard especially.. | 17:45 |
| ychat | hi all, I am unable to save documents using either openoffice / inkscape / gedit. Each ends up crashing. Although through console I am able to create text files, using vim. Is some library corrupted ? | 17:45 |
| larsivi | dli_: yes | 17:45 |
| dli_ | larsivi, that's weird, worth a troubleshooting | 17:45 |
| ElijahDuBarryVT | what does it mean this: Either --appname or --package arguments are required, it's show when I try to start bug-buddy | 17:45 |
| dli_ | larsivi, did fsck find any error? | 17:45 |
| Fade | Nece228: I think it's something to be concerned about, but I also think it's going to change for the better. | 17:45 |
| tacone | n8tuser: where's is that ? on the windows partition ? | 17:45 |
| Fade | <shrug> | 17:45 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: the only thing I could think of that might conflict with it is if you added something about it to xorg.conf | 17:45 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: Yesh. Keyboard works in text mode (when ctrl+alt+F* and log in in textmode) but not with X. =( | 17:45 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: uhm.. then check xorg.conf | 17:46 |
| ljuwaidah | I tried using dhcpcd eth* but apparently I don't have dhcpcd, could this be the problem? | 17:46 |
| GreenDelta` | Hello, i updated to 8.10 and AFTER the update was complete and finished (he just said i should reboot) i had a crashdown of electrificy so the PC crashed. Now if i want to boot he says he cant loadthe nvidia driver and so i tried to reinstall it. I got the .run package from nvidia.com in version: (96.43.07) and i tried to run it with sh. He said he'll try to load a kernel from ftp but did not find a matching one so he wanted to compile a kerne | 17:46 |
| GreenDelta` | but at the end of compiling he gives an error: "ERROR: unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module." | 17:46 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: but still rather strange I must say | 17:46 |
| n8tuser | tacone-> what windows partition? you didnot tell the whole story eh? | 17:46 |
| tacone | no. :) here it is: | 17:46 |
| dli_ | GreenDelta`, you have linux-headers installed? | 17:46 |
| carpeliam | n8tuser: "root.disk: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery) (large files)" | 17:46 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah, I don't know about intrepid. But I use "dhclient" or "dhclient3" in hardy | 17:46 |
| larsivi | dli_: no errors by fsck | 17:46 |
| ljuwaidah | I'll try | 17:47 |
| n8tuser | carpeliam-> sudo mount -o loop /path/to/root.disk /mnt | 17:47 |
| dli_ | larsivi, find out why it's mounted ro then, probably in /var/log/syslog | 17:47 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah, dhclient3 [INTERFACE_NAME] | 17:47 |
| GreenDelta` | dli_: i dont know what you mean exactly | 17:47 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: Problem is: I have no idea what to add in xorg.conf >_> And: Does that help me with my liveCD or does it require a restart? | 17:47 |
| dli_ | larsivi, no, since you have ro, try dmesg | 17:47 |
| tacone | fake raid system, with vista preinstalled. I installed hardy on another partition. now I installed intrepid creating 2 more partitions, /boot and /. still hardy's grub starts. | 17:47 |
| ASTURIAS | Not only my sound is not working at all, but my screen looks messed up when scroll, I have an NVidia Card... | 17:47 |
| tacone | n8tuser: do you need any other detail ? | 17:47 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: you have a this problem in livecd too? | 17:48 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg: restartet whole system, but no change | 17:48 |
| n8tuser | tacone i dont know anything about vista | 17:48 |
| jaypur | how do i install the nvidia driver? | 17:48 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, using -nv currently? | 17:48 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: Yes, that's my main problem. xD Can't even install this way. | 17:48 |
| perlmonkey | damnit | 17:48 |
| tacone | ok | 17:48 |
| RinTinTigger | tacone i know something bout vista :D | 17:48 |
| ASTURIAS | dli_: What's -nv? | 17:48 |
| carpeliam | n8tuser: thanks :D | 17:48 |
| perlmonkey | my hdd was causing the errors i mentioned earlier during installation | 17:48 |
| rsmith | which Ubuntu repository contains Unison? I can't find it in Ubuntu 8.10. | 17:48 |
| mrrcp | Question.. Whats the best program for linux to download music.. i know limewire works great on windows.. and whats a good music player for linux on ubuntu also? | 17:48 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: wicked.. does it work to install with 8.04 then upgrade? | 17:48 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, -nv is the an open source driver for nvidia | 17:48 |
| n8tuser | carpeliam-> were you able to see the files in it? | 17:49 |
| GreenDelta` | dli_: i dont know what you mean exactly | 17:49 |
| ASTURIAS | dli_: Can I get it via Synaptics? | 17:49 |
| RinTinTigger | mrrcp player: minirock Program to download: depends on where u load | 17:49 |
| tacone | RinTinTigger: do you want me to repeat the whole story ? | 17:49 |
| woli | how do i downgrade to 8.04 from intrepid? | 17:49 |
| carpeliam | n8tuser: yeah, that worked perfectly :) | 17:49 |
| DracNoc | OsamaK: try this: sudo apt-get install sbackup. Called by using commands: simple-backup-config AND simple-restore-gnome | 17:49 |
| mrrcp | isnt frostwire for linux? | 17:49 |
| RinTinTigger | tacone is there a short version? ^^ | 17:49 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: I don't really want to upgrade my existing 8.04. Changed too much stuff manually and don't want that to carry over so I want to wipe and make a fresh install. | 17:49 |
| usser | mrrcp, frostwire, | 17:49 |
| n8tuser | carpeliam-> am glad..good luck | 17:49 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, I guess it's installed already, probably the one running, find out in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 17:49 |

| perlmonkey | disk failure? | 17:49 |
| tacone | RinTinTigger: fake raid system, with vista preinstalled. I installed hardy on another partition. now I installed intrepid creating 2 more partitions, /boot and /. still hardy's grub starts. | 17:50 |
| ASTURIAS | dli_: I used Envy-NG to install it | 17:50 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: yeah but still, install with a 8.04 disc and then upgrade that, without messing anything up :) | 17:50 |
| mrrcp | minirock is the best for music and stuff? | 17:50 |
| phildbole | Question for bashang...please | 17:50 |
| larsivi | dli_: I don't find any relevant errors in dmesg, in fact /dev/sda1 isn't mentioned at all beyond that it exists as part of sda | 17:50 |
| RinTinTigger | tacone, what dija install the last? | 17:50 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: I did that with my laptop back in 7.10->8.04 | 17:50 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: Hm. May work. :D I think I'll try that. | 17:50 |
| ljuwaidah1 | nope, didn't work | 17:50 |
| RinTinTigger | mrccp minirock or amarok are my favorites | 17:50 |
| snova | why is the package manager only showing a SUBSET of the INSTALLED packages and nothing else? | 17:50 |
| phildbole | bazhang...please | 17:50 |
| ljuwaidah1 | I still can't connect to my wireless network | 17:50 |
| tacone | RinTinTigger: dijia = ? the last installed is intrepid. | 17:50 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: give it a shot :) good luck anyhow! | 17:50 |
| GreenDelta` | dli_: i dont know what you mean exactly | 17:50 |
| Fade | amarok for kde3 is awesome. | 17:50 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, then, I don't really know:( | 17:50 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| mrrcp | can you install with apt-get? | 17:51 |
| Fade | the kde4 version is a mess. | 17:51 |
| ASTURIAS | dli_: ok | 17:51 |
| RinTinTigger | tacone dija=did you ... dija configure intrepids grub? | 17:51 |
| GreenDelta` | dli_: you asked me if i had linux headers installed | 17:51 |
| dli_ | larsivi, can you remount / rw | 17:51 |
| snova | mrrcp: was that to me? | 17:51 |
| jaypur | can someone help me? | 17:51 |
| xominous | lbo_ken: yw | 17:51 |

| MaT-dg | RinTinTigger, ok, try this now 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' | 17:51 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg: im on my way, just wait a sec | 17:52 |
| tacone | RinTinTigger: to install intrepid installed dmraid, I partitioned manually. then used the gui installer (which crashed at the end of the process) | 17:52 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | !anyone | jaypur | 17:52 |
| ubottu | jaypur: 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? | 17:52 |
| mrrcp | minirock cannot be installed with apt-get? | 17:52 |
| larsivi | dli_: umount/mount ? | 17:52 |
| tacone | RinTinTigger: I guess the crash isn't related to the partitions setup, just an ubuntu bug. | 17:52 |
| dli_ | larsivi, like: sudo mount -oremount,rw / | 17:52 |
| jaypur | i've already told my problem and nobody told anything... | 17:52 |
| ElijahDuBarryVT | what does it mean this: Either --appname or --package arguments are required, it's show when I try to start bug-buddy | 17:52 |
| perlmonkey | hi | 17:52 |
| ljuwaidah1 | I'm almost sure there's nothing wrong with my wireless lan card | 17:52 |
| mrrcp | another question..... is there a advanced sound control system i can install to manage my sound? | 17:52 |
| tacone | RinTinTigger: I want my system to boot from the new /boot parition, not from hardy's /. | 17:52 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg i did so | 17:52 |
| MaT-dg | RinTinTigger, okay don't forget to restart X | 17:53 |
| RinTinTigger | so dija configure intrepids grub then? | 17:53 |
| ljuwaidah1 | mrrcp: alsa (advanced linux sound architecture) lol | 17:53 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg on my way | 17:53 |
| Roey | http://pastebin.com/m6401f287 <-- why am I getting this? | 17:53 |
| larsivi | dli_: it claims it already is mounted there :) | 17:53 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah1, Are you on intrepid? | 17:53 |
| GreenDelta` | dli_: he says linux headers generic thing is alreadyin the newest version | 17:53 |
| ljuwaidah1 | FreshUbuntuNoob: Yes | 17:53 |
| mrrcp | ljuwaidah1, are you trying to be funny? | 17:53 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah1, Can you see a list of wireless networks? | 17:54 |
| ljuwaidah1 | mrrcp: Yes :D but apparently I failed that | 17:54 |
| ljuwaidah1 | FreshUbuntuNoob: Yes | 17:54 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah1, Is your network encrypted? | 17:54 |
| dli_ | GreenDelta`, then, it's not the problem | 17:54 |
| mrrcp | hmm | 17:54 |
| ljuwaidah1 | FreshUbuntuNoob: Yes | 17:54 |
| tacone | ring0: guess not. how to do that ? | 17:54 |
| ljuwaidah1 | wep | 17:54 |
| dli_ | larsivi, so, it's mounted rw | 17:54 |
| tacone | RinTinTigger: : guess not. how to do that ? | 17:54 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg ....no changes at all | 17:54 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah1, WEP or WPA? | 17:55 |
| ljuwaidah1 | FreshUbuntuNoob: wep | 17:55 |
| GreenDelta` | dli_: u have another idea? | 17:55 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah1, When you try to connect using the Network Manager, does it ask you for a key? | 17:55 |
| dli_ | larsivi, what's the original error message? | 17:55 |
| ljuwaidah1 | Yes | 17:55 |
| RinTinTigger | tacone use www.gidf.de and look for grub configuration (just a joke i dunno how, but thats the thing u have to do | 17:55 |
| GreenDelta` | dli_: I already tried to insallt anotherversion but it did not work 2 | 17:55 |
| ljuwaidah1 | FreshUbuntuNoob: And I enter it | 17:55 |
| MaT-dg | RinTinTigger, still can't enable compiz? | 17:55 |
| Ohmu | I need to run a binary and redirect stderr into a logfile. What's the syntax for that? | 17:55 |
| dli_ | GreenDelta`, no, I tell people to dump nvidia and buy ati:( | 17:55 |
| tacone | RinTinTigger: ok | 17:55 |
| ASTURIAS | NO SOUND!!! Using Ubuntu 8.04 Please Help~! | 17:55 |
| RinTinTigger | mat-dg no changes in desktop effects and driver stuff | 17:55 |
| ljuwaidah1 | then it goes "attempting to join ..." | 17:56 |
| snova | why is the package manager only showing a SUBSET of the INSTALLED packages and nothing else? i've tried three different ones, they all do this. | 17:56 |
| GreenDelta` | dli_: bad idea :P or u have money ^^ | 17:56 |
| mrrcp | what music player? | 17:56 |
| ljuwaidah1 | FreshUbuntuNoob: then "requesting a network address from ..." | 17:56 |
| larsivi | dli_: the system startup fails with various messages about how /var/this and /var/that is read only filesystem | 17:56 |
| larsivi | dli_: also I | 17:56 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, sound is easier than video, do you have something in cat /proc/asound/cards | 17:56 |
| larsivi | also I'm not able to edit files in my home or anywhere else | 17:56 |
| OsamaK | DracNoc: looks nice, I'll try the first backup. | 17:56 |
| sap | ok how to install the codecs in 8.10 | 17:56 |
| sap | i forgot | 17:56 |
| woli | Hi. I need to downgrade all the stuff that makes sound work to the versions provided in hardy, because with intrepid my sound is very bugy | 17:57 |
| sap | what do i do in sources | 17:57 |
| DracNoc | Osamak: good luck, Let us know how you get on. | 17:57 |
| ljuwaidah1 | FreshUbuntuNoob: then after a while it shows me the box asking for the key again (which I'm sure is correct) | 17:57 |
| ASTURIAS | dli_: yes, the fdriver appears there | 17:57 |
| GreenDelta` | Anybody has an idea? 8.10, trying to setup nvidia drivers, he cant build the kernel module. Linux headers already in newest version | 17:57 |
| larsivi | dli_: the system is meant to be mounted rw according to fstab but I assume it goes into errors=ro instead? | 17:57 |
| dli_ | larsivi, is / mounted rw, (and other partitions)? | 17:57 |
| zerothis | how can I change permissions group and owner of a symlink without effecting the target? | 17:57 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah1, Can you do a "sudo dhclient 3 wlan0" from terminal. Replace wlan0 with your wireless interface name | 17:57 |
| ljuwaidah1 | ok | 17:57 |
| dli_ | !alsa checklist | 17:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alsa checklist | 17:57 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, 1) run alsaconf as root 2) add yourself to the 'audio' group (log out and log in again) 3) use alsamixer and unmute channels and raise levels (also try muting some channels) 4) arts or esound stopped? 5) OSS modules unloaded? 6) speakers on? 7) modprobe snd-pcm-oss 8) does "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav" work for root? Test your sound with aplay and a wav so codec issues don't confuse the situation. <list alsa us | 17:58 |
| dli_ | ers> | 17:58 |
| dli_ | ASTURIAS, the checklist from #debian | 17:58 |
| larsivi | dli_: mount shows nothing as being ro | 17:58 |
| apw | zerothis, not sure that the permissions on a symlink really have any meaning | 17:58 |

| FreshUbuntuNoob | ljuwaidah1, I am taking a guess here. But can you try placing "mode ad-hoc" after the 2nd line where you issue your ESSid, and key? You can use the up and down keys to get through the history. Do a sudo ifconfig eth1 down. And then bring it up again just to be safe | 18:23 |

| TheSHAD0W | Richard_: Do your deleting from the livecd. Then you can install. | 18:28 |
| FreshUbuntuNoob | tarassippo, sudo aptitude install rar unrar <= packages exist in hardy. Don't know about intrepid | 18:28 |

If you back them up, you can later merge them so you keep whatever changes you made, but still have the updated formats/defaults from the newer versions | 18:46 |

| jacekowski | because for now amarok 2 is much more stable than kde4 | 19:11 |
| soundray | jacekowski: do you have a support question? | 19:11 |
| Flannel | al__: You can make changes at the grub menu by hitting 'e' and then making the changes (then hitting 'b' to boot, if I remember). Shotgun debugging for a little might be a good way to go about it. Try hd0,2 (which is sda3) just for laughs. | 19:11 |
| Myxb | soundray: the key is there as xf86audiomute, but does not do anything; volume up and down do work though. | 19:11 |

| Andrelinux | why? | 19:55 |

| Vladimir[LV] | thanks! | 19:58 |
| Lynet | O134M4: It autoprobes. If the Device section does not list a driver, then xorg will look at what hardware is in the machine and then load the appropriate driver depending on what it finds. Nothing is stored, it is autoprobed. | 19:58 |

| RyanPrior | paul68: It tells you what the mountpoint is of those partitions. So, say sda5 is mounted at /home/paul/myporn, and you look in there and you're like "man, that crap is jank", you can go ahead and remove that partition. | 20:05 |

| robtp | mike_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto | 20:20 |
| taher | hi every body | 20:20 |
| ASTURIAS | vixus: Acer Aspire 4530 | 20:20 |
| CMD_L1N3 | robtp: nothing in that menu but i believe my card is iw3945 | 20:20 |
| blahblahx | lianimator: oh yeah it does nevermind | 20:20 |
| lianimator | blahblahx: worked for me | 20:20 |
| blahblahx | ljuwaidah: found out how | 20:21 |
| ljuwaidah | blahblahx: how? | 20:21 |
| blahblahx | ljuwaidah: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 20:21 |
| lanoxx | can someone running gnome please give me a dump of /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop | 20:21 |
| CMD_L1N3 | robtp: wait. iw4965 | 20:21 |
| ljuwaidah | blahblahx: thanks | 20:21 |
| robtp | CMD_L1N3: hmmm | 20:21 |
| blue_mushroom | cliechti: you might try to see if CTRL ALT SHIFT WIN keys are stuck or something... | 20:21 |
| JulioNeto | lianimator, tks :D | 20:21 |
| robtp | CMD_L1N3: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 20:21 |
| taher | hi peyman | 20:21 |
| CMD_L1N3 | already did | 20:22 |
| isager | jin_: Which application are you using? | 20:22 |
| robtp | CMD_L1N3: i'm not too sure, but it sorta went away for me | 20:22 |
| blue_mushroom | Press all those keys to see if they reset cliechti | 20:22 |
| Bsims | I kinda understand why kubuntu dropped 3.5x for Intrepid but when kde4 isn't stable enough for Debian Sid... I used a thirdparty to install 3.5 so I can actually work... Just a minor Grr to a smooth upgrade | 20:22 |
| CMD_L1N3 | robtp: and NetworkManager | 20:22 |
| ljuwaidah | lanoxx: On it | 20:22 |
| vixus | ASTURIAS, have you got the commercial nvidia drivers running? | 20:22 |
| ferronica | cliechti swap should be always double of RAM | 20:22 |
| CMD_L1N3 | robtp: well. it works i just can't see that it does. so maybe it will end up fixing itself | 20:22 |
| Skiessi | !info libqt4-dev | 20:22 |
| robtp | CMD_L1N3: yeah, exactly, good luck | 20:22 |
| ubottu | libqt4-dev (source: qt4-x11): Qt 4 development files. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.3-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 5571 kB, installed size 26988 kB | 20:22 |

| Bsims | I'll give kde4 a shot when it hits 4.2.3 | 20:23 |
| CMD_L1N3 | robtp: thanks | 20:23 |
| taher | and maybe we can hack that | 20:23 |
| GodfatherofEire | I'm having a little trouble configuring my wireless under intrepid, can anyone lend a hand? | 20:23 |
| ASTURIAS | vixus: I just used Envy-NG for the Graphics but for the sound I just reinstalled ASUS drivers | 20:23 |
| cliechti | ferronica: i dont think so. swap at the size of RAM makes sense for hilbernate. but i myself dont want to have 4GB swap in use. if it started to use that mauch swap, your computer gets dead slow | 20:23 |
| Chaotic_Descent | why do I not have a applications>system tools>configuration editor ? | 20:23 |
| vixus | ASTURIAS, and basically no sound is working? on any app? | 20:23 |
| taher | peyman tonight i waiting for your call and need to yours codes | 20:23 |
| blue_mushroom | cliechti: you might have tried that before... restarting the X server doesn't change a thing? | 20:23 |
| ASTURIAS | vixus: nothing at all | 20:24 |
| vixus | ASTURIAS, have you killed pulseaudio? | 20:24 |
| taher | GIVE ME CODES | 20:24 |
| ASTURIAS | vixus: haven't tried that | 20:24 |
| cliechti | blue_mushroom: tried that. and it did not help. i logged out and in. the keys work at GDM and console, but not anymore after login | 20:24 |
| taher | goodbye | 20:24 |
| vixus | ASTURIAS, `killall pulseaudio` and try playing sound | 20:24 |
| Bsims | Pulseaudio is very alpha in my experence | 20:24 |
| ASTURIAS | vixus: Ok, let me check that now... | 20:24 |
| blue_mushroom | cliechti: look at the keyboard preferences. it might be set to a weird language or scheme. | 20:25 |
| GodfatherofEire | I've checked /etc/network/interfaces, and the wireless should be working, but its not | 20:25 |
| TechN9ne1730 | for soem reason my Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapterwas working great, and now it suddenly wont allow me to network wirlesly, only wired, any ideas? | 20:25 |
| sken | i don't hear voice in songbird | 20:25 |
| ferronica | cliechti: but as rule swap should be double of RAM right ??? | 20:25 |
| aantn | does anyone know why there's no libselinux1-dbg package in intrepid? | 20:25 |
| ferronica | cliechti: how much RAM you have? | 20:25 |
| Chaotic_Descent | how would I search for a missing applications>system tools>configuration editor ? would I use the keyword "missing"? or what? | 20:25 |
| blue_mushroom | ferronica: I thought it was the ram quantum. | 20:25 |
| snova_ | why doesn't networkmanager save my settings across a reboot? | 20:26 |
| Bsims | ferronica: Thats the old rule of thumb... I tend to use the same amount of swap as RAM with more than one gig of memory | 20:26 |
| blue_mushroom | ferronica: automatically it made 1 GB and 1GB Ram | 20:26 |
| lanoxx | ljuwaidah, got it? | 20:26 |
| snova_ | i have to reconfigure it every time i turn my computer on | 20:26 |
| n00b2ubuntu | how do I remove a flash plugin? | 20:26 |
| ASTURIAS | vixus: No, I can't hear anything... | 20:26 |
| ljuwaidah | lanoxx: http://pastebin.com/d73bf0aba | 20:26 |
| lanoxx | thx | 20:26 |
| lanoxx | :) | 20:26 |
| ljuwaidah | n00b2ubuntu: Why would you want to do that? | 20:26 |
| cliechti | ferronica: i know, it dates back from the times where 256MB RAM where much.. i personlly dont like when my PC with 2GB RAM starts using swap as its getting slow. i just have it for hibernate | 20:26 |
| vixus | ASTURIAS, i gotta go for now.. back later. i never had problems with my graphics card except with pulseaudio. my problems are with jack. sorry : ( | 20:27 |
| Bsims | ASTURIAS: you've killed pulseaudio, open a term and type "alsamixer" | 20:27 |
| n00b2ubuntu | ljuwaidah: the one I attempted to install does not have any audio | 20:27 |

| ASTURIAS | vixus: ok | 20:27 |
| ferronica | cliechti: ok , how much RAM you got? | 20:27 |
| ASTURIAS | Bsims: Ok, let me check that. | 20:27 |

| GodfatherofEire | TechN9ne, have you checked the file /etc/network/interfaces ? | 20:28 |
| paul68 | is there an easy way to install de xfi drivers to 8.10? | 20:28 |
| cliechti | ferronica: 2GB and 3GB swap | 20:28 |
| fallore | Every so often a bunch of functions of ubuntu simultaneously break. The panels freeze up so I have to switch windows with alt + tab. Terminal freezes, so I can't run anything with that.

Does anyone know what's going on? | 20:28 |
| ASTURIAS | Bsims: Ok, alsamixer is open, everything is up to 100% but I see "00" in a green box... | 20:28 |
| Bsims | ASTURIAS: what does it show for soundcard info, upper left hand corner | 20:29 |
| ASTURIAS | Bsims: It says "HDA NVidia" | 20:29 |

| Chaotic_Descent | why do I have no acceleration settings for the mouse under the configuration editor? I searched for "mouse" and found nothing with this. I want to turn off acceleration and turn up speed. | 20:30 |
| GodfatherofEire | Odd | 20:30 |
| waleed | hello sinan | 20:30 |
| snova_ | lianimator: ok. i was wondering if it was just a video/dvd player or if it did music too. | 20:30 |
| Bsims | ASTURIAS: dumb question but whats your speakers or headset set to | 20:30 |
| fallore | snova_ it plays music too | 20:31 |
| Bsims | snova_: it plays everything | 20:31 |
| cliechti | ferronica: i guess that is fine. actually if you dont plan to use hibernate, you could also turn off swap. 2GB is enough memory for most applications (unless you plan to render 40megapixel panorama images) :-) | 20:31 |
| distant_voice | hi, my keyboard doesn't work properly. It's a german layout. The letter key are okay, but key like (arrow up) (print) (delete) don't. I think this problem existed in hardy. can anybody help? | 20:31 |

| paul68 | Is there a way to install the creative labs XFi card in ubuntu 8.10? | 20:43 |
| gas | ciao a tutti | 20:43 |
| DefineByte | In the course of the upgrade from 8.01.1 to 8.10 most programs seem to have been removed. Any ideas on how to get them back? Reinstalling the ubuntu-desktop metepackage doesn't seem to do anything. | 20:43 |

| Bsims | olskolirc: I don't think you can on 4.1... | 20:43 |
| Flannel | loca|host: Make sure you're fully up to date in Hardy. And in the future, it'd be nice if you used a normal pastebin, not one that requires scripting. | 20:44 |
| olskolirc | ok | 20:44 |
| Bsims | Or at least I couldnt find out how | 20:44 |
| DefineByte | uh huh. OK. :) | 20:44 |
| newcomer | rdw200169, there's also this http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 20:44 |
| Flannel | DefineByte: What are some of the ones that have been removed? | 20:44 |
| snova | olskolirc: ask on #kde, since you're already there | 20:44 |
| Jacek | hi guys, i've got a laptop with small hdd (40gb) and i don't have much free space there. but I've another hdd(20gb) connected via usb on which i want to install ubuntu. my laptop doesn't have cd drive and i don't know how do it.. | 20:44 |

| Chaotic_Descent | I can't do anything!!!! | 20:44 |
| DefineByte | network manager, firefox, pidgin | 20:44 |
| dime | i can run iwconfig and it shows me an ESSID for a network | 20:44 |
| DefineByte | all the regular ubuntu stuff | 20:44 |
| mike_ | flannel i think it burns the date not the iso | 20:44 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I can't do anything and I can't figure out how to do anything and I can't learn how to figure out! I'm helpless! | 20:45 |
| TechN9ne1730 | ask, for some reason my Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter was working great, and now it suddenly wont allow me to network wirlesly, only wired, any ideas? | 20:45 |
| DefineByte | X is still installed thankfully. :) | 20:45 |
| Flannel | mike_: You want to burn the data when burning an iso. You don't want the CD to have an iso file on it, you want the contents. | 20:45 |
| olskolirc | kde4.1 Chaotic_Descent ? | 20:45 |

| kevin1 | yes | 20:45 |
| kevin1 | i think b43? | 20:45 |
| kevin1 | are there a couple b43 | 20:46 |
| dime | in the faq, it tells me to go to system/administration/network to put it in roaming mode | 20:46 |
| TechN9ne1730 | kevin1, yes same here | 20:46 |
| kevin1 | or just one for b43 | 20:46 |
| Chaotic_Descent | why doesn't Ubuntu have mouse speed settings separate from mouse acceleration?? it's bullcrap! | 20:46 |

| gravyface__ | Nooreo: what are you compiling? | 20:47 |
| DropKickPhoenix | does anyone know if virtualbox ose supports usb? | 20:47 |
| snova | Nooreo: what is it? and are you sure you can't install it from the repos? | 20:47 |
| gravyface__ | make/make install? | 20:47 |
| Flannel | gravyface__: Feisty is EOL now, by the way. But the servers are being hit due to intrepid, it affects all releases, not just intrepid. | 20:47 |
| snova | DropKickPhoenix: it doesn't. | 20:47 |
| Bsims | gravyface__: Use this mirror http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu/ Its fast and even on upgrade night I was at 150K | 20:47 |
| kevin1 | yesterday a kevin on here and he walked me through line by line to get it working and it worked and now it wont connect wireless again | 20:47 |
| Nooreo | snova: utube 1.7 its not in the repos | 20:47 |
| TheKrokodil | second problem: in the 2nd running x session i won't have sound unless i click on the "test"-button in gnome-sound-properties - any command with which i can init sound manually? | 20:47 |
| gravyface__ | Flannel: yeah, I realise that. Didn't know about EOL though. | 20:47 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I don't even need people to tell me the answers. just tell me how I can search for them. That's supposed to be like "common sense" that I never seem to be able to gain but that most computer literate people have, right? | 20:48 |
| jacobw-uk | hi, does anyone know how to get android to show up as a device in banshee? | 20:48 |

| Flannel | loca|host: due to the output of your update, I'd say you didn't have any repositories in your sources.list | 20:48 |

| Flannel | Nooreo: What are you trying to install? | 20:49 |

| Flannel | DefineByte: Interestingly, this says you've got firefox (and pidgin) installed. | 20:49 |
| jacobw-uk | vigge_sWe: just make a blank NTFS partition somewhere on your drive | 20:49 |
| Nooreo | Flannel: utube-1.7.bin.gtk.tar.gz | 20:49 |
| DefineByte | I had to install Firefox manually | 20:49 |

| jacobw-uk | vigge_sWe: if your asking *how* use gparted | 20:50 |
| jacobw-uk | !gparted | 20:50 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 20:50 |

| GodfatherofEire | My wireless connection just crapped the bed on an update to Intrepid. I've checked the /etc/network/interfaces file, and that's fine, I've also run sudo ifup wlan0, which should have configured it, but it still hasn't, I've restarted the xorg.conf file, which worked last time for this problem, but now thats stopped working. Any ideas? | 20:50 |
| DEdwards | fallore, yes | 20:50 |
| DefineByte | Flannel: I can't access any of it from the command line and it's not in any menus. | 20:50 |
| fallore | DEdwards: jacobw-uk: then why did it just eject it? :[ told me it probably didn't like the medium | 20:51 |
| ninjabuntu | my Desktop is not loading up... It's there in my Home folder and everything seems ok with the files in my Desktop folder. but as it sits all the desktop is displaying on my gnome Desktop is just by background image. and I can't seem to change that either. I did have an issue where my screen resolution was 640x480 then i tried to reboot and it went even worse to the point that X something didn't even want to start up. one the ver | 20:51 |
| ninjabuntu | y next reboot i got my screen resolution back but not my Desktop is acting funny. whats the deal? | 20:51 |

| laku | or can I just mount an iso file? | 20:51 |
| bytor4232 | Netboot.tar.gz is broken after last nights update. | 20:51 |
| vigge_sWe | so I should just make a ntfs partition with gparted and both ubuntu and windows can use it automatically? | 20:51 |
| jacobw-uk | fallore: i don't know, are you sure it is blank? | 20:51 |
| phreekbird | laku acitoneiso2 | 20:51 |
| DefineByte | it's like it thinks it's installed but it's not. | 20:51 |

| DEdwards | fallore, i dont know | 20:51 |
| phreekbird | sec lemme check spelling | 20:51 |
| fallore | i'm pretty sure. i'll test it out | 20:51 |
| snova | DropKickPhoenix: i have no idea, but VirtualBox comes in a closed-source edition you can get on their website that DOES support usb. it even comes in a .deb, how thoughtful. | 20:51 |
| TheKrokodil | is there a command to init the sound system manually? | 20:51 |
| phreekbird | AcetoneISO2 ya | 20:52 |
| laku | thanks, phreekbird | 20:52 |
| jacobw-uk | vigge_sWe: would be better to make a FAT32 partition, simplier less likely to go wrong | 20:52 |
| phreekbird | np | 20:52 |
| chris_ | @laku http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/857/mount-an-iso-file-in-linux/ | 20:52 |

| phreekbird | now... anyone able to help me out with my crappy ati x1200? | 20:52 |

| DEdwards | fallore, a recordable cd is a recordables cd, all types should work | 20:53 |
| laku | phreekbird: where can I find it. Google doesn't give me any results | 20:53 |
| jacobw-uk | vigge_sWe: I'm not actually. someone else may know. But the GParted live-cd is very handy in any case. | 20:53 |

| DefineByte | and openoffice. | 20:54 |

| GodfatherofEire | My wireless connection just crapped the bed on an update to Intrepid. I've checked the /etc/network/interfaces file, and that's fine, I've also run sudo ifup wlan0, which should have configured it, but it still hasn't, I've restarted the xorg.conf file, which worked last time for this problem, but now thats stopped working. Any ideas? | 21:01 |
| rdw200169 | DefunctProcess: why would you want to remove gnome-panel??? | 21:01 |

| Steve-Cal | Flannel: Ouch. That's what I was afraid of. Seems mine is corrupted then. | 21:29 |
| tesseract85 | how is ubuntu studio working? does it have the same network manager? | 21:29 |
| Burgeren | why doesn't the interrupts work when i try to make a boot sector program? | 21:29 |
| andresmh | what differences should I expect in the Icedtea plugin vs the Sun one? (I have Intrepid on a 64-bit laptop) | 21:30 |
| Flannel | Steve-Cal: that's odd, since bittorrent checks itself as it downloads. | 21:30 |
| Sven_ | could anyone help me getting sound with my Win TV HVR900 under 8.10 working? | 21:30 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: what big bug? | 21:30 |
| hendrik | ammmm | 21:30 |
| hendrik | ammmm | 21:30 |
| hendrik | menu editor ? | 21:30 |
| FloodBot3 | hendrik: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:30 |
| PerfectExodus | Evening! I can not get the gnome network manager to find my wireless card, however lspci does show it is active and the correct driver seems to be loaded. Any suguestions? | 21:30 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: The whole "X is not reacting to any mouse/keyboard input" thing. o.o | 21:30 |
| abchirk | hendrik right click on System then "edit menus" | 21:30 |
| absence | hi! i want to install ubuntu to a partition with existing files. i get a warning that says directories containing system files will be deleted. is there a way to see what exactly will be deleted? will the installer ask before anything is deleted? if not, can i make it? | 21:31 |
| dman777 | does anyone use songbird? | 21:31 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: what kind of mouse and keyboard? | 21:31 |
| thomc | Is there a way to disable gdm, so that when I boot I get a text login? | 21:31 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Anybody really good with networking here? | 21:31 |
| Steve-Cal | Flannel: Yes, I agree, but unfortunately that seems to be my situation. I guess I'll try downloading again. | 21:31 |
| bimberi | PerfectExodus: Is it enabled in your BIOS? | 21:31 |
| jrib | thomc: system -> administration -> services disable the graphical login | 21:31 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: USB. Works fine with 8.04 and WinXP but not with 8.10, sadly. | 21:31 |
| hendrik | abchirk : okey, whats next? | 21:31 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log have to say about them? | 21:31 |
| PerfectExodus | bimberi: I'll check, I didn't disable it, but I'll double check. | 21:32 |
| Adyeths | anyone know what happened to the gnome-font-viewer application in Intrepid? Know where I can find it or an alternative to it? | 21:32 |
| thomc | thanks jrib | 21:32 |
| Sven_ | could anyone help me getting sound with my Win TV HVR900 under 8.10 working? | 21:32 |
| fsufitch | hi. i upgraded to 8.10 yesterday, and compiz no longer works. it says there is no XGL detected. compiz worked just fine before on 8.04. I havent been able to find any bug report or ubuntu forum entry about this. anyone else have the same problem? GFX card: nvidia 8400M GS | 21:32 |
| abchirk | hendrik then select in System | 21:32 |
| Flannel | !repeat | Sven_ | 21:32 |
| ubottu | Sven_: 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 | 21:32 |
| newk | need help with graphics card drivers... upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and lost all my working drivers | 21:32 |
| abchirk | hendrik then select in System the Software Sources... mark it. :) | 21:32 |
| jonaskoelker | hi all. I have a sound source plugged into my mic jack; I want to hear the sound. How can I do that? | 21:32 |
| bimberi | PerfectExodus: I had the same situation. Visible in lspci but no wireless networks on the applet. Turned out to be disabled in the bios | 21:32 |
| Kudi | Flannel: thanks | 21:33 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: Can't copypaste that (I'm on a 8.04 LiveCD right now, my last resort :D) but it actually didn't say anything about the mouse at all. | 21:33 |
| PerfectExodus | bimberi: It is not disabled in the BIOS. | 21:33 |
| bouma | is kpdf avail under ubuntu ? | 21:33 |
| bimberi | PerfectExodus: ok :/ | 21:33 |
| MnemonicPunk | (lshal reported the mouse correctly though.) | 21:33 |
| abchirk | bouma yes why not? | 21:33 |
| hendrik | abchirk : in the list, there isnt any software sources, everything is listed :S | 21:33 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Can somebody please help me with my networking problem? | 21:33 |
| abchirk | hendrik also not under System -> Adminstation? | 21:33 |
| andresmh | i'm trying to decide if i should "downgrade" to Intrepid 32-bit or to stay on 64-bit, one of the deciding factors will be how different is Icedtea browser plugin vs Sun's, which apparently is not supporting 32-bit yet | 21:34 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: why don't you try using your xorg.conf from 8.04 (make AutoAddDevices false in server flags) | 21:34 |
| dman777 | does anyone use songbird? | 21:34 |
| === geo_ is now known as geo05 | ||
| andresmh | can anyone tell me what i should expect if i use Icedtea instead of Sun? | 21:34 |
| hendrik | abchirk : no , thats the problem :S | 21:34 |
| aidy | how do i check if dma is working | 21:34 |
| MindVirus | How do I set console colors? | 21:34 |
| jrib | andresmh: works fine for me | 21:34 |
| abchirk | hendrik hm, why you need that? | 21:34 |
| absence | i want to install ubuntu to a partition with existing files. i get a warning that says directories containing system files will be deleted. is there a way to see what exactly will be deleted? will the installer ask before anything is deleted? if not, can i make it? | 21:34 |
| MindVirus | Also, is there any set of default console colors? | 21:34 |
| Tom_Davis | !worksforme | 21:34 |
| abchirk | GodfatherofEire1 just ask your question. | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 21:34 |
| PerfectExodus | Anyone else? | 21:34 |
| jrib | MindVirus: right click -> edit current profile | 21:34 |
| ecto | Ubuntu 8.10 on Acer3050 laptop: Can't get past the "Checking battery state..." stage, tried acpi=off, noacpi and noapic...can't seem to get it to boot past that. Any tips would be welcome. | 21:35 |
| hendrik | abchirk : to install the wine, thats in the beginners tutorial :P | 21:35 |
| MindVirus | jrib, can I get a settings file or something? | 21:35 |
| jrib | MindVirus: probably uses gconf | 21:35 |
| abchirk | hendrik use synaptic or aptitude | 21:35 |
| andresmh | jrib: do you have a 64-bit system too? | 21:35 |
| jrib | andresmh: yes | 21:35 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Ok, Last night, after an Update to 8.10 my wireless connections stopped working, any ideas? | 21:35 |
| andresmh | jrib: great. were you able to install the flash plug on your 64-bit? | 21:36 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: I only have the liveCD of 8.10 right now. Can't install because of the missing keyboard/mouse and can't make it use any other config files. (And my xorg.conf is gone because I tried to install 8.04 fresh so I could install 8.10 that way.) | 21:36 |
| PerfectExodus | Does anyone konw why the network manager says "Auto eth0" and how to change it? | 21:36 |
| MindVirus | jrib, I'm sorry... I phrased my question incorrectly. | 21:36 |
| jrib | andresmh: icedtea? yeah, it's icedtea6-plugin from the repositories | 21:36 |
| hendrik | abchirk: my toolbar, where is system and stuff, is in ESTONIAN lanugage, its so gay to read it, how can i change it ? | 21:36 |
| MindVirus | I'd like ls, for example, to print directories in a different color than files. | 21:36 |
| MindVirus | Or links. | 21:36 |
| MindVirus | And the prompt should be different colors too. | 21:36 |
| ecto | Ubuntu 8.10 on Acer3050 laptop: Can't get past the "Checking battery state..." stage, tried acpi=off, noacpi and noapic...can't seem to get it to boot past that. Any tips would be welcome. | 21:37 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: But maybe you just gave me an idea how to get a working xorg.conf in the liveCD. :D | 21:37 |
| Flannel | MindVirus: You just need to turn colors on in your bashrc for the first one. The second, you'll need to set a custom prompt | 21:37 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: didn't you say you were on a 8.04 live cd now? | 21:37 |
| Skapare | anyone know of a mirror with ISOs and a non-broken RSYNC server? | 21:37 |
| MindVirus | Flannel, how do I do that? | 21:37 |
| dman777 | anyone use banshee? | 21:37 |
| andresmh | jrib: i found icedtea on Add/Remove apps. It doesn't say which version it is. Should I assume is 6? | 21:37 |
| karega | hello | 21:37 |
| MindVirus | The first? | 21:37 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: I have 8.10 live and 8.04 live, yes. I'm on the 8.04 right now. | 21:37 |
| hblount | can you backup/forward email from hotmail with evolution? | 21:37 |
| MindVirus | Flannel, I have no .bashrc in ~. | 21:38 |
| karega | does anyone know of an ASP.Net solution I can run on Ubuntu? | 21:38 |
| jrib | andresmh: probably | 21:38 |
| ljuwaidah | where can I find libbluetooth2? | 21:38 |
| Skapare | I hate that word "solution" ... it is soooo abused | 21:38 |
| abchirk | hendrik I guess under System -> Admin -> Language Support :) | 21:38 |
| stickyicky | how do i mount a drive so i can read utf8 filenames properly | 21:38 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: But I just remembered that even the liveCD has a .conf. :D I'll try putting that on my FTP and wgetting it from the 8.10 xD | 21:38 |
| abchirk | But don't ask me how its called in Estonia hendrik ;) | 21:38 |
| emmeffgeh | stickyicky, what kind of drive? | 21:38 |
| bimberi | !hotmail | hblount | 21:38 |
| ubottu | hblount: If you need to use an MSN Hotmail account, consider packages such as "hotway" and "hostsmtp", which are gateways respectively to the !POP and !SMTP protocols (also supporting Lycos and Spray) | 21:38 |
| stickyicky | emmeffgeh: sata hard drive | 21:39 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: so I assumed you had upgraded to 8.10? So then you could use the 8.04 live cd to edit the xorg.conf of your install (I'm guessing not even ctrl-alt-f1 work) | 21:39 |
| Ddorda | hey, there is any program to burn a movie with the subtitles? | 21:39 |
| fallore | when i try burning an iso with either k3b or nautilus i get a "failed optimum power calibration" or write speed related error respectively. does anyone know what i should do? | 21:39 |
| Adyeths | does anyone know what happened to the gnome-font-viewer application in Intrepid? Or know where I can find it or an alternative to it? | 21:39 |
| hendrik | abchirk: nop, tried that like 10 times, it doesent change . nvm. Okay i find Synaptic, how i manage to install the wine with that, is there any tutorial ors ?! | 21:39 |
| emmeffgeh | stickyicky, what file system? fat? | 21:39 |
| ljuwaidah | anyone? | 21:39 |
| Skapare | fallore: clean the laser lens | 21:39 |
| stickyicky | files i created in windows that have extended chars and copy to to ubuntu/ext3 show up as garbage in the shell. | 21:39 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: Nope, I can neither install 8.04 (I/O error, no idea why. The CD was kept secure.) and 8.10 (no keyboard/mouse) | 21:40 |
| unr3a1 | hey all | 21:40 |
| abchirk | hendrik update softwarelist with the refresh button... and then search for wine. Thats it. | 21:40 |
| Flannel | hendrik: you've been given this link a number of times: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine | 21:40 |
| stickyicky | but still legit on windows via samba | 21:40 |
| emmeffgeh | stickyicky, for fat, try "-o utf8" | 21:40 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: And I currently have NO installed Ubuntu. =( | 21:40 |
| fallore | Skapare: how do i do that? | 21:40 |
| Skapare | fallore: CD or DVD? | 21:40 |
| fallore | Skapare: CD | 21:40 |
| LF|Irssi | Should i use the Virtualbox that's in the Ubuntu 8.10 repos? Or? | 21:40 |
| stickyicky | emmeffgeh: the hard drive is ext3 | 21:40 |
| unr3a1 | I am having some major issues with 8.10.. | 21:40 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: run 'check cd for defects' | 21:40 |
| Ddorda | anyone? | 21:40 |
| Skapare | fallore: very very carefully ... is the drive capable of doing DVDs? | 21:40 |
| aaron | how to I install flash for firefox | 21:40 |
| fallore | Skapare: i'm not sure | 21:40 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: I guess you could also install using the 8.10 alternate cd | 21:41 |
| Skapare | fallore: never burned or played a DVD in it? | 21:41 |
| unr3a1 | x-server wont load. I get an error saying that there are no screens detected, and that it cannot connect to x-server... any ideas? | 21:41 |
| fallore | Skapare: i think i've played a dvd in it. | 21:41 |
| abchirk | aaron visit a flashsite and then click install flashplugin | 21:41 |
| ay^ | aaron: enable the repository for it and install it in the package manager | 21:41 |
| emmeffgeh | stickyicky, you wanna mount a file system served by a windows machine? | 21:41 |
| fallore | Skapare: yeah definitely capable of reading DVDs | 21:41 |
| ay^ | aaron: I think the repository is multiverse | 21:41 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: You don't think the idea of downloading my 8.04 xorg.conf into the 8.10 will work? =( | 21:41 |
| Skapare | fallore: get a blank DVD and try burning that CD ISO onto the DVD instead ... if it can boot a CD it can boot a DVD with the same image | 21:41 |
| smokeymirror | hello ladies and gentlemen | 21:42 |
| selinuxium | aaron: in terminal sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 21:42 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: sure, that might work. But how will you do that? Can you get your keyboard to work somewhere? | 21:42 |
| smokeymirror | i just updated to 8.10 and im having the strangest error | 21:42 |
| LF|Irssi | HI, im wanting to install Virtualbox (since i cant seem to compile vmware with 8.10 :/ ) but do I get virtualbox from the repos or where? | 21:42 |
| unr3a1 | also, what is a good text based webbrowser? | 21:42 |
| unr3a1 | web browser* | 21:42 |
| jrib | unr3a1: links2 | 21:42 |
| unr3a1 | ty | 21:42 |
| smokeymirror | i can hear music on websites and the likes but rythmbox, banshee, amarok wont play audio | 21:42 |
| MnemonicPunk | jrib: The keyboard ONLY refuses to work under X. It works when I switch to another tty. | 21:42 |
| Skapare | unr3a1: depends on the level you want to access with ... I've used telnet before | 21:42 |
| smokeymirror | anyone have any idea? | 21:42 |
| unr3a1 | so does anyone know why x-server would give me an error saying that it cannot detect any screens? | 21:43 |
| Neodemi | daft question, what does the nonfree in flashplugin-nonfree mean, if its in the repository, isnt it free to use? | 21:43 |
| absence | i want to install ubuntu to a partition with existing files. i get a warning that says directories containing system files will be deleted. is there a way to see what exactly will be deleted? will the installer ask before anything is deleted? if not, can i make it? | 21:43 |
| jrib | MnemonicPunk: ah. Okay, then that gives you more options. What you said is worth a try | 21:43 |
| qbmaniac | hey guys!!! =D | 21:43 |
| qbmaniac | How are things going? | 21:43 |
| GodfatherofEire | OK, NOW this is getting ridiculout | 21:43 |
| aaron | ok I have done the apt-get and still no flash showing up | 21:43 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: didn't upgrading work? | 21:43 |
| aaron | I restarted too :( | 21:43 |
| bimberi | LF|Irssi: The package name is in virtualbox-ose - it's in universe | 21:43 |
| qbmaniac | pfff | 21:43 |
| qbmaniac | this channel is always a mess :P | 21:43 |
| Chlorate | I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 32bit and my toshiba laptop cannot find the mac airport express wireless signal. Any ideas? I have my drivers for my wireless card installed | 21:43 |
| GodfatherofEire | Now my network manager is intermittently spazzing and disconnecting | 21:43 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: You know, I seem to have a Murphy's Law Installing day. | 21:43 |
| Flannel | Neodemi: free vs Free. flash plugin is in multiverse, because its not FOSS, but it is free (gratis) | 21:43 |
| jrib | aaron: what version of ubuntu? | 21:43 |
| qbmaniac | I think #ubuntu should diversificate into different channels dealing with different topics | 21:44 |
| ecto | 8.10 sucks, more problems out of the box than with 8.04. | 21:44 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: hehe, I hate those | 21:44 |
| aaron | intrepid | 21:44 |
| Skapare | fallore: either you have a slightly dirty laser lens or your black CDs are junk | 21:44 |
| qbmaniac | ecto... that depends | 21:44 |
| unr3a1 | dont judge a book by its cover, ecto | 21:44 |
| Flannel | qbmaniac: It won't be a good thing, feel free to discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like to continue. | 21:44 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: While your idea was quite good, it effectively ripped all my bootloader to shreds. =( | 21:44 |
| Neodemi | ah, thanks Flannel i get it now | 21:44 |
| dr_willis | qbmaniac, there are other specilized channels, one for compiz, and one for the server, and proberly a few others. | 21:44 |
| favro | !vbox | LF|Irssi | 21:44 |
| ubottu | LF|Irssi: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 21:44 |
| LF|Irssi | bimberi: yeah i seen it in the repos, but installing things from synaptic is not always the best choice so i wasnt sure | 21:44 |
| Skapare | fallore: either you have a slightly dirty laser lens or your blank CDs are junk ... and a LOT out there ARE junk | 21:44 |
| smokeymirror | so any idea why my rythmbox wont output any sound? | 21:44 |
| ay^ | MnemonicPunk: erh yeah that sucks | 21:44 |
| qbmaniac | I see dr_willis | 21:44 |
| MnemonicPunk | ay^: (my 8.04 LiveCD somehow screwed it's installation up.) | 21:44 |
| qbmaniac | thanks for the info | 21:44 |
| jrib | smokeymirror: do other apps have sound? Did you ever have sound? What version of ubuntu? | 21:45 |
| unr3a1 | smokeymirror: have you checked your audio drivers? | 21:45 |
| GodfatherofEire | Ok Now I REALLY need some networking help | 21:45 |
| smokeymirror | i jjust updated to 8.10 websites play sound | 21:45 |
| avis | anyone have any laptop battery conversation website references ? | 21:45 |
| jrib | !who | aaron | 21:45 |
| ubottu | aaron: 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 :) | 21:45 |
| smokeymirror | like pandora.net plays fine but rythmbox banshee dont work | 21:45 |
| dr_willis | qbmaniac, and thers the #kubuntu channel proberly some others | 21:45 |
| bimberi | LF|Irssi: Why do you think it's not always the best choice? | 21:45 |
| jrib | aaron: pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree | 21:45 |
| Neodemi | why does rythmbox prevent anything else from using the soundcard when its running (ie no audio alerts from other programs etc) | 21:45 |
| linuxnoop | what good 3d egoshooter is thar for linux | 21:45 |
| Flannel | !games | linuxnoop | 21:45 |

| EruditeHermit | Hi, I am having a problem with the installer. The partitioner is telling me that it has problems informing the kernel about the modifications. http://rafb.net/p/5Srpgm86.html can anyone help? | 21:46 |
| qbmaniac | Neodemi, it doesnt? | 21:46 |
| Chlorate | I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 32bit and my toshiba laptop cannot find the mac airport express wireless signal. Any ideas? I have my drivers for my wireless card installed | 21:46 |
| unr3a1 | well, thank you, jrib. for the info on the text browser... looks like I am gonna be in text mode for a while. | 21:46 |
| qbmaniac | depends on your soundcard I guess | 21:46 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | I jumped on the Intrepid wagon and now VLC doesn't show video | 21:46 |
| unr3a1 | jrib: is it on apt-get? | 21:46 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | plays AVI files like mp3 | 21:46 |
| Azhi_Dahaka | :S\ | 21:46 |
| jrib | unr3a1: yep | 21:46 |
| qbmaniac | I have rythmbox and usual audio, maybe even flash audio at the same time | 21:46 |
| aaron | !jrib how do I do that? | 21:46 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:46 |

| clotterm | hi there! | 21:46 |
| Neodemi | qbmaniac, i dont get sound from other programs when im running rhythmbox | 21:46 |
| dr_willis | Azhi_Dahaka, vlc plays videos here fine. | 21:46 |
| * qbmaniac slaps ubottu | 21:46 | |
| smokeymirror | i have a new hp laptop | 21:46 |
| qbmaniac | Neodemi, config problem? | 21:46 |
| qbmaniac | incorrect sound card drivers? | 21:47 |
| smokeymirror | with the wireless card that wasnt recognized last version | 21:47 |
| flask- | Question: are there still known issues with the fglrx video driver under intrepid? | 21:47 |
| aaron | I mean where is apt cash | 21:47 |
| smokeymirror | it works now | 21:47 |
| smokeymirror | but rythmbox doesn't play any sound | 21:47 |
| LF|Irssi | bimberi: theres a few softwares that ive installed via synaptic that were better off installing with manual installation, Opera is one good example, the one in the synaptic is out dated. :) | 21:47 |
| Ddorda | There is any program to burn a movie with the subtitles? | 21:47 |
| lavacano201014 | smokeymirror: Try and find drivers for your particular sound card | 21:47 |
| akurei | Ddorda: hardcoded? | 21:47 |
| jrib | aaron: if you want me to see what you write, please prefix what you say with "jrib: ". Open a Terminal and then type the command | 21:47 |
| smokeymirror | ill go look around | 21:47 |
| smokeymirror | brb | 21:47 |
| MnemonicPunk | Alright, I'm gonna try again. Wish me luck. :D | 21:47 |
| GodfatherofEire | Could I get some networking help here? | 21:48 |
| bimberi | LF|Irssi: OK, I guess that's fair. Installing the ubuntu packages is safer but not always up to date :) | 21:48 |
| akurei | Ddorda: avidemux + filter | 21:48 |
| dr_willis | Ddorda, mencoder can reencode a video and put the subs in the video.. i recall. you could then burn that. | 21:48 |
| aaron | !jrib is this how | 21:48 |

| tiggers | Gorthax, me too | 22:06 |
| tiggers | well, i already had home on a second partition | 22:06 |
| the-erm | ComradeMikhail: oh ok. I thought the problem was you can't hear anything. It's hard to put into words what the problem is. | 22:06 |
| aaron | jrib, it does not find it automatically...it points me to download manually and install | 22:06 |
| Gorthax | i now have a good 2 months of tweaking again | 22:06 |

| hblount | i am using xchat. how do you show a window that has the people in the channel? | 22:07 |
| Gorthax | on a good note, MY sound is working beautifully | 22:07 |
| jrib | aaron: meh, ok. Let's get rid of your /opt install first then. Close firefox. Run 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox-3.0'. Then tell me what 'ls -l /usr/bin/firefox' returns | 22:07 |
| mallochigh | TechN9ne1730: if you don't even know how to get to a shell, I can't help you. You may be able to use the administrator tab to fix it, you may also want to look at your synaptics for a wireless package and reinstall it. | 22:07 |
| ComradeMikhail | the-erm: yeah.. no i can hear things.. just the volume is abnormally low. when i use the volume down button on my laptop and it goes down to 95%, it is almost inaudiable. the only way i can hear things is by keepthing that at 100% and using external speakers and have them pretty far up as well | 22:07 |

| the-erm | ComradeMikhail: Somewhere you can set the volume levels, but not with a mixer. I for the life of me can't remember where it was. dmixer comes to mind. You basically need to tell your sound card that ___ is the max volume for your mixer. | 22:08 |

| CardiacKid | why would a shared folder from my vista machine show up on my XP laptop ofer wifi, but not showup in my ubuntu machine which is wired to the same router as the vista machine? | 22:24 |

| atomic_ | ...I seem to have wifi issues in 8.10 . All my interfaces and networks are listed twice in nm-applet and I seem to get fairly bad fluctuating lag while i'm sitting here in IRC, sometimes to the point I timeout. This also seems to effect my web browsing too at the exact same time | 22:24 |
| jrib | aaron: run 'hash -r' then try 'firefox --version' again | 22:24 |
| aaron | jrib, how do I completely remove firefox and then start clean | 22:24 |
| jrib | jin_: ffmpeg --help should tell you the compile options used | 22:24 |
| Bsims | CardiacKid: do you have samba installed its needed to do window networking | 22:25 |
| jrib | aaron: we don't need to do that | 22:25 |
| paul__ | dr_willis: to make emerald work after reboot not only i have to run compiz icon i also have to choose reload window manager | 22:25 |
| pjazzy | i had issues with my WiFi after upgrading, I rebooted and it magically worked again :| | 22:25 |
| francisco | How I can change my Xorg Config to make my desktop initialize at a certain resolution? It allways changes to 1024 768 after a reboot. | 22:25 |
| xominous | aaron: It looks like you have 3.0.3, which is the latest official release. | 22:25 |
| N1ghshd | Q: After upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10, 'Places->Home Folder' starts Mplayer? | 22:25 |

| Don | bsims how do i get an www. adress with my home server | 22:25 |

| jrib | aaron: ok. What does /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 --version tell you? | 22:26 |

| N1ghshd | kidbuntu: I have almost the same problem. Here mplayer is started when I go to 'Places->Home Folder' etc | 22:27 |
| CardiacKid | at one point it did see the folders from the vista machine. the I restarted the ubuntu machine and couldn't see the folders. | 22:27 |
| volfied | I have really low volume on speakers on a thinkpad x61, can someone help? | 22:27 |
| ljuwaidah | later | 22:27 |
| Bsims | CardiacKid: Hrm not a clue... sorry | 22:27 |
| aaron | jrib, thanks for the help I have to run now I will try when I get a back | 22:28 |
| kidbuntu | N1ghshd: have you fixed yours? | 22:28 |
| CardiacKid | no problem. | 22:28 |
| khelll | am getting this error when trying to upgrade "Error authenticating some packages " , here is my sources.list http://pastie.org/305628 , what should i keep??? | 22:28 |

| N1ghshd | volfied: Pushed the 'Volume UP' buttons on the laptop already I guess? :) | 22:28 |
| Bsims | CardiacKid: try asking in #samba | 22:28 |
| volfied | The volumes are all up, I get really nice sound with headphones | 22:28 |
| xominous | hblount: You'll probably have to check on the microsoft website. It's probably something like, imap.hotmail.com or something. But I have no idea. Try a google search for it. | 22:28 |
| volfied | speakers are giving out low volume | 22:28 |
| Hammer89 | INTREPID OWNS | 22:28 |
| N1ghshd | kidbuntu: Nope, that's why I'am asking here - hoping it's a known issue after upgrades from 8.04->8.10 | 22:28 |
| CardiacKid | I'm a total noob. how do I switch to #samba? | 22:28 |
| jin_ | jrib, when I do apt-get install ffmpeg, how do I know which version it is installing? because I also have Intrepid + medibuntu enabled. | 22:29 |
| wolfspirit | how do you determine the number of your hard drive for grub? it's the slave hard drive and first partition so I used hd1,0 but it didn't work.. is there a scan tool I can use to get those values? | 22:29 |
| Bsims | CardiacKid: /join #samba | 22:29 |
| jin_ | how* | 22:29 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone help me with Video problem? I'm stuck in low graphic mode. I want to use Nvidia drivers or the default drivers (they're better than nothing) | 22:29 |
| Bsims | jin_: apt-cache show ffmpeg | 22:29 |
| Bsims | in a terminal | 22:29 |
| kidbuntu | N1ghshd: crap if i had known this i would have stayed at 8.04 | 22:29 |
| volfied | N1ghshd: I get nice volume with headphones, it is the speakers that are really low | 22:29 |
| CardiacKid | where do I put that? | 22:29 |
| jrib | jin_: apt-cache policy ffmpeg I don't see ffmpeg in medibuntu for intrepid though | 22:29 |
| hblount | xominous: is the incoming and outcoming server the same thing then? | 22:29 |
| Flannel | hblount: You can only read hotmail via POP if you have an old account. They stopped the free POP access a few years ago. You can, however, use a scraper which will act as a POP server. Try one of these: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hotmail&searchon=all&suite=intrepid§ion=all | 22:29 |
| Bsims | CardiacKid: just type it | 22:30 |
| CardiacKid | ha, thanks | 22:30 |
| dr_willis | ldiamond, standard questions you will get asked.. :) what video card, what kind of monitor/connection of monitor, are you using a KVM? :) | 22:30 |
| CardiacKid | /join #samba | 22:30 |
| KumoGone | Why can't the system administrator login from the login screen? | 22:30 |
| atomic_ | In the latest Evolution in 8.10, when I go to the Unread folder and click on something in there to read, when it gets marked as unread (autmatically), it gets removed from the Unread folder and the next unread email is displayed, then that gets marked as unread and removed from that folder and 3rd email is displayed, and so and so forth. I just have to click on 1 email in the unread folder and it'll cycle through the whol | 22:30 |
| atomic_ | e lot 1 by 1 marking them as unread and removing them and moving onto the next, even if I haven't read it | 22:30 |
| N1ghshd | kidbuntu: It's 1-way.. but I guess we will have our fix in a few days | 22:30 |
| jin_ | jrib, so how do I get X264 support then? :( | 22:30 |
| Bsims | Hrm what client are you using? | 22:30 |
| francisco | Nvidia X Server Settings is different from /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 22:30 |
| jrib | jin_: rebuild the package yourself I guess | 22:30 |
| CardiacKid | xchat | 22:30 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone help me with Video problem? I'm stuck in low graphic mode. I want to use Nvidia drivers or the default drivers (they're better than nothing). I have a Nvidia Geforce M 8700, on a laptop, so a laptop screen. | 22:30 |
| jin_ | jrib, I really don't want to compile it myself | 22:30 |
| Bsims | Hrm look for chanel listing window somewhere | 22:30 |
| Bsims | I've not used xchat in years | 22:30 |
| xominous | hblount: Probably not. Did you see anything on the hotmail/ms website? | 22:30 |
| PassionFRUI7E | How do you get the location of a file dragged on top of a script? | 22:30 |
| dr_willis | KumoGone, its a security issue.. Root can not directly login. | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | ldiamond: System>Admin>Hardware Drivers? | 22:31 |
| Manueltje22 | ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso | 22:31 |
| KumoGone | So how do I get logged in as root? | 22:31 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | KumoGone | 22:31 |
| Bsims | KumoGone: you don't just sudo | 22:31 |
| ubottu | KumoGone: 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) | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | !root | KumoGone | 22:31 |
| ubottu | KumoGone: 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 | 22:31 |
| atomic_ | ...I seem to have wifi issues in 8.10 . All my interfaces and networks are listed twice in nm-applet and I seem to get fairly bad fluctuating lag while i'm sitting here in IRC, sometimes to the point I timeout.

| hblount | flannel: is it simple to setup this scraper thing? | 22:31 |
| pjazzy | to login as root, you use the command: sudo su | 22:31 |
| Manueltje22 | If somebody can help me now? | 22:31 |
| Bsims | KumoGone: If you need it sudo su in a term | 22:31 |
| Bsims | Manueltje22: whats the problem | 22:31 |
| dr_willis | pjazzy, its better to use 'sudo -s' | 22:31 |
| KumoGone | Ahh | 22:31 |
| N1ghshd | kidbuntu: Best thing to do now, is just file a bugreport at: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs | 22:31 |
| ldiamond | erUSUL, I tried that, I had a decent resolution before that, now it failed and I'm stuck in 800x600 (cant change it to higher). It said there were no suitable monitor or something like that | 22:31 |
| Manueltje22 | I only get initramfs | 22:31 |
| === poi is now known as Andrijeski | ||
| erUSUL | !rootshell | pjazzy | 22:32 |
| ubottu | pjazzy: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 22:32 |
| N1ghshd | kidbuntu: at least, that's what I'am doing now | 22:32 |
| CardiacKid | Bsim, I figured it out. thanks | 22:32 |
| pjazzy | i only know sudo su :D | 22:32 |

| pjazzy | KumoGone - you don't have any other interfaces active | 22:33 |

| kidbuntu | N1ghshd: yeah your right. we really need to shout this out so they would do something about this. not unless only few people are affected | 22:33 |

| cliechti | crafteh: a commanf line tool that installs a base system. so you can install a base system to a folder/mounted partition. you will use chroot and some manual work too. | 22:55 |

| AdemoS | Ubuntu 8.10: Why is it that when the update manager alerts you of updates, 9 times out of 10, you don't get a list of WHAT changed? Why not get the changes list ready before uploading the new package? | 23:17 |
| emorris | kelli: that was for windows not linux | 23:17 |
| kelli | emorris, could i do it here? | 23:17 |
| emorris | alvarezp: your command is very buggy since it will pick up the grep process, as well as any other processes with evolution in their name, eg. 'gedit ~/Desktop/evolution_is_cool.txt' | 23:18 |

| [TiZ] | Hi... Um... Ndiswrapper and 64-bit. Is there any way, any way at all, that I can get Ndiswrapper on 64 bit to work with 32 bit windows drivers? My RTL8187 is counting on some drivers from Windows 98... | 23:22 |
| MFen | i want to create a listing of my installed packages for system recovery purposes, and i want togroup by Origin (so manually-installed debs can be handled specially), but there's no data there :( | 23:22 |
| emorris | Atomic_UE: yes, i think it can change when certain changes happen to your network cards | 23:22 |
| ferfactor | how i can install a gtk theme in ubuntu 8.10??? | 23:22 |
| MFen | it is listed as a recognized field in the man page for dpkg-query, so either something is spelled wrong or there's no Origin data being stored, and I'm not sure which is less likely | 23:22 |

| Jammet | emorris: The Opera repo has no descriptor for that, it just says "stable" on it. On the Opera website when I try to manually download the binary for Inteprid, it says that the respective download is compatible to both Hardy and Inteprid, so maybe they left it at that. | 23:40 |

| emorris | threeseas: system>administration>system monitor, choose firefox, end process | 23:42 |
| dr_willis | !upgrade | 23:42 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | Logikos: what makes you think it is not? | 23:43 |
| Jammet | emorris: Meaning, it's not really looking for/or finding the latest version in that repo. | 23:43 |
| Logikos | erUSUL: it had said there are dependancies and i needed to do something to resolve them .... | 23:43 |
| tab1293 | threeseas: and than once you found firefox type kill + the pid of firefox | 23:43 |
| emorris | Jammet: oh, i see, give me a sec, i'll try it | 23:43 |
| Jammet | emorris: And there is another thing I was wondering about. Why can I only find Opera in the Synaptic Package Manager and not in the App/Remove app under "Third party" or Canon? | 23:43 |
| Logikos | erUSUL: it is installed but it said there are dependancies .... how do i fix that ... | 23:43 |
| Jammet | emorris: Ok. | 23:43 |
| bimberi | ldiamond: idk sorry | 23:44 |
| tab1293 | Formode lol ok. But i heard you can configure wine to use you native ntfs partition. how do you do this? | 23:44 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone help me? When I boot ubuntu, it gets stuck at Configuring network interfaces during like 5 mins. Its very annoying. | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | Logikos: if i don't know what's broken i can not fix it | 23:44 |
| threeseas | thanks guys, system monitor did it | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | Logikos: do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and paste any error you get | 23:45 |
| thiebaude | !htop | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about htop | 23:45 |
| erUSUL | Logikos: in pasteibin | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | tab1293, you should be able to run windows apps with wine /path/to/whatever/foo.exe - but i find its best to 'reinstall' apps in wine.. and not rry to run apps from your windows install. | 23:45 |
| Logikos | erUSUL: ... k, ty, sec | 23:45 |
| tab1293 | dr_willis: ok | 23:45 |
| equuelus | does anybody know how can i list all the users on my machine via command line? | 23:45 |
| emorris | Jammet: because stuff has to manually be put in add/remove programs IIRC | 23:45 |
| cliechti | equuelus: "w" | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | equuelus, look in /home/ and see who all has directories there..is one way.. or ya mean users currently logged in? | 23:46 |
| Kemayo | Could someone perhaps point me towards how to rebind mouse buttons? (Upgrading to 8.10 made the "back" button on the side of my mouse actually work as a back button, and I much prefer the old behavior of it being a middle-click.) | 23:46 |
| Vipsta | Hello, is there a way to just change ONE background in ubuntu, instead of all of them?? | 23:46 |
| equuelus | dr_willis, i mean the users listed in /etc/passwd | 23:46 |
| jNoxx | hi 2 all | 23:46 |
| Jammet | emorris: Alright. Are you able to install 9.62 through the Opera repo? If you are, something's wrong with what I did. | 23:46 |
| equuelus | dr_willis, but I want real users | 23:46 |
| jNoxx | who have compiz bugs in 8.10? | 23:46 |
| thiebaude | Vipsta:desktop wallpaper? | 23:46 |
| thiebaude | ddesk | 23:46 |
| dr_willis | equuelus, any user with a uid over 1000+ i think is a real user... i could be wrong.. | 23:46 |
| Vipsta | thiebaude: yes | 23:47 |
| equuelus | cliechti, 'w' lists users who are logged in but not user accounts | 23:47 |
| legend2440 | ldiamond http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/31/configuring-network-interfaces/ | 23:47 |
| thiebaude | vipsta:right click on desktop | 23:47 |
| threeseas | I really shouldn't be runjing at 100% cpu usage | 23:47 |
| thiebaude | change background | 23:47 |
| cliechti | equuelus: then look at /etc/passwd | 23:47 |
| Fr0zen_ | damnit doesnt look like the broadcom wireless will work with 8.10 :( | 23:47 |
| emorris | Jammet: 9.61 is the latest version on that repo | 23:47 |
| jNoxx | So, it is trouble with compiz | 23:47 |
| thiebaude | threeseas:what's making it use 100%? | 23:48 |
| jNoxx | Who have compiz bugs? | 23:48 |
| zzaza | hi all | 23:48 |
| Jammet | emorris: So someone at Opera is just being slow? That's a relief. | 23:48 |
| Vipsta | thiebaude: my question was, if I could just change a background on ONE of the multiple screens, instead of all of them. | 23:48 |
| Logikos | erUSUL: went though, back to prompt, no errors that i noticed, says system restart required to complete it, so i'll brb | 23:48 |
| Jammet | emorris: Thank you =) | 23:48 |
| emorris | Jammet: you can get this information (your version and the latest version) from apt-cache policy opera | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | Vipsta, not under gnome at this time. | 23:48 |
| thiebaude | oh,ok vipsta | 23:48 |
| zigovr | what is the name of gnome's network manager tray icon process ? | 23:48 |
| Miesco | Hey where did slapd.conf go?? | 23:48 |
| zigovr | I want to kill it now that's under kde | 23:48 |
| emorris | zigovr: nm-applet | 23:48 |
| zigovr | ah thanks | 23:49 |
| Jammet | emorris: I see. Well, maybe I'll nudge them a little, then. :) | 23:49 |
| emorris | Jammet: hehe | 23:49 |
| threeseas | thiebaude: I don't know, system monitor only shows two things using it and thats well under 100% - system monitor and xchat | 23:49 |
| thiebaude | threeseas:check this out if you want it:sudo apt-get install htop | 23:50 |
| === charlie is now known as Guest7953 | ||
| thiebaude | htop is better | 23:50 |
| jNoxx | <threeseas>, check for LP | 23:50 |
| SynAck | Any one know where to find the PulseAudio Library | 23:50 |
| Scunizi | Flannel, If I have my old desktop drive that was dedicated /home can I mount it as home on my laptop via a usb drive enclosure? and will it mess with the permissions of the files? | 23:50 |
| snowveil | I am currently running my LCD monitor in Portrait mode (left 90* rotation) but when trying to rotate it back to standard landscape (or access xrandr at ALL) I get this message: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". | 23:50 |
| nightdragon__ | question: if i removed the "Shut off" button on the top taskbar, how can i add it back | 23:50 |
| ldiamond | legend2440, Thank you, it seems like its the solution. However, I am connected to a network. | 23:50 |
| jNoxx | If not configured, lp process can use 100% of cpu | 23:50 |
| Flannel | Scunizi: It shouldn't. | 23:50 |
| nightdragon__ | it will let me add it back, but not to the top right | 23:51 |
| nightdragon__ | how can i do that? | 23:51 |
| sunrise987 | How do I find out what user groups do I have on my Machine? | 23:51 |
| snowveil | Does anyone know how to fix this? I just upgraded to 8.10 and am having this issue | 23:51 |
| Scunizi | Flannel, even though the user id on the desktop was 1000 and the lappy is 1001? | 23:51 |
| john47 | just installed intrepid on my eeepc, and everytime I launch an internet app (email, firefox) the gnome keyring pops up asking for a password...how can i get it to stop doing this? | 23:51 |
| ldiamond | legend2440, shouldnt it find my network faster? Or is it because I have 2 network interfaces? | 23:51 |
| dr_willis | nightdragon__, right click on thepanel add applets, and add the one you need.. try some of the others. :) theres some neat ones in there. | 23:51 |
| nightdragon__ | i've donethat | 23:51 |
| jNoxx | <snowveil>, pm me | 23:51 |
| Ddorda | need help using avidemux :( | 23:51 |
| nightdragon__ | but it wont let me add it all the way to the right, dr_willis | 23:51 |
| emorris | threeseas: you can change that in system monitor. view>all processes or my processes | 23:51 |
| jNoxx | I have 8.10 from today | 23:51 |
| Ddorda | it's ruining the voice | 23:51 |
| Neskaya | .gt 70 | 23:51 |
| Neskaya | BAH | 23:52 |
| dr_willis | nightdragon__, 'unlock' the other applets, and move them around | 23:52 |
| dr_willis | nightdragon__, then get them into position and lock them back if you want. I just unlock them all | 23:52 |
| thiebaude | thanks emorris | 23:52 |
| blue_mushroom | What's better vmware or VirtualBox ? | 23:53 |
| john47 | just installed intrepid on my eeepc, and everytime I launch an internet app (email, firefox) the gnome keyring pops up asking for a password...how can i get it to stop doing this? | 23:53 |
| Ddorda | I prefer VirtualBox | 23:53 |
| === Chari2 is now known as Charitwo | ||
| john47 | blue_mushroom: I use VirtualBox and love it. | 23:53 |
| blue_mushroom | Ddorda: it has seamless mode, right? | 23:53 |
| blue_mushroom | john47: | 23:53 |
| ferronica | my keyboard volume keys not working on ubuntu 8.10 | 23:53 |
| Ddorda | What do you mean? | 23:54 |
| dxdemetriou | I can't load plugins from effects category on compiz on intrepid. anybody knows what could be the problem? I have the same problem on 2 computers | 23:54 |
| youssrr | virtualbox | 23:54 |
| blue_mushroom | The mode where the taskbar and desktop are integrated perfectly with the host system | 23:54 |
| youssrr | is better | 23:54 |
| equuelus | what's a good alternative to skype on linux? | 23:54 |
| john47 | I just installed intrepid on my eeepc, and everytime I launch an internet app (email, firefox) the gnome keyring pops up asking for a password...how can I get it to stop doing this? | 23:54 |
| youssrr | if you want to use a skype alternative you need an alternative service, like SIP | 23:54 |
| legend2440 | ldiamond not sure why but you could try to uncomment the #timeout 60 line and when it finally boots you will see if it has a connection or not. if it doesn't then just comment the line again. 5 minutes seems like an awfully long time for itto find a connection | 23:54 |
| MaT-dg | while installing intrepid I set my second partition's mount point to be '/home', how can I change that now? | 23:54 |
| youssrr | there are a thousands SIP clients | 23:54 |
| === qb|away is now known as qbmaniac | ||
| blue_mushroom | youssrr: I have heard that vmware had some thing where the video acceleration is almost realistic | 23:54 |
| Scunizi | Flannel, does the uuid of an external usb drive change with each reboot? | 23:54 |
| Scunizi | Flannel, or port affiliation? | 23:55 |
| sunrise987 | How to list all user groups on My Machine? | 23:55 |
| blue_mushroom | Does VirtualBox have the same? | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | Scunizi, a UUID of a drive/filkesystem shouldent change. | 23:55 |
| equuelus | youssrr, which SIP client do you suggest? | 23:55 |
| ldiamond | legend2440, alright, thanks | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | Scunizi, ive heard that resizeing a filesystem might change its uuid.. thats the only case ive seen where it may change. | 23:55 |
| Scunizi | dr_willis, even with a usb port change? | 23:55 |
| Scunizi | dr_willis, thanks. | 23:55 |
| Genius314 | The ATI All-in-Wonder video card comes with a purple box for receiving video/audio input. Is there a way to see the input from this in real-time (like if I hook up a game, I want to see it in a window) with a program in Ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | Scunizi, the whole point OF uuid - is it dosent matter what port. :) | 23:55 |
| youssrr | blue_mushroom, not sure about that BUT virtualbox is totally open source (GNU GPL) and is based on the same tech as Xen. Not sure about acceleration | 23:55 |
| blue_mushroom | Does VirtualBox or VMWare have the Video Acceleration capacity ? | 23:55 |
| tarelerulz | I want to hook my laptop to my tv so I can watch movies on my tv. Can you do that ? if so what might I do | 23:56 |
| threeseas | network manager is using a lot of cpu | 23:56 |
| Scunizi | dr_willis, nice to know.. | 23:56 |
| dr_willis | Scunizi, you could even mount based on disk label, or other things if you wanted | 23:56 |
| youssrr | equelus, I use Twinkle because it provides encrypted IP calls | 23:56 |
| youssrr | and since i'm the in USA-big brother society, it's nice | 23:56 |

| psiforce | hi all, I'm trying to get colbertnation.com's videos to play under intrepid 64.... anyone else been sucessful? | 23:57 |
| john47 | dr_willis: Yes, I try to enter a password but then it doesn't accept it and I get the same screen again. | 23:57 |
| Flannel | Scunizi: the UUID shouldn't. I suppose the device location could (sdb vs sdc, etc) | 23:57 |
