| R_YoYo_R | WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3, your problem is a very easy one to figure out.... look at what processes are running ... apt or synaptic must be running in the background | 00:00 |
| I_AM_A_PERSON | @chuy, I think the network applet disappeared in my case | 00:00 |

| chuy | I_AM_A_PERSON, what does lsusb say about your card? | 00:01 |

| savvas_ | dxdemetriou: ok hold a sec | 00:03 |
| smokeymirror | for instance i add some music to the foldeer then i rename them in banshee or rythmbox? | 00:03 |
| arrrghhh | smokeymirror, uh it does. do you mean with a program that plays music? | 00:03 |
| smokeymirror | yea | 00:03 |
| runpain2 | Hey does 8.10 have atheros 2425 chipset wireless drivers installed | 00:04 |
| arrrghhh | smokeymirror, amarok does that. | 00:04 |
| savvas_ | wnstn: so the problem relies on just gmail and the rest? | 00:04 |
| RyanPrior | smokeymirror: I'm still not sure what you're wanting to do. Is there a problem? | 00:04 |
| wsco | what is better hardy , interpid | 00:04 |
| smokeymirror | i tried w/ banshee and rythmbox after i change the name | 00:04 |
| arrrghhh | runpain2, ubuntu still does not include any closed-source drivers in it. | 00:04 |
| WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3 | is anyone else here having problems installing skype on 8.10 intrepid? it keeps telling me there's another package manager running when i havent even started any programs yet. | 00:04 |
| RyanPrior | runpain2: It's difficult to know offhand. You can email the kernel team, or just download the LiveCD and give it a try. | 00:04 |
| smokeymirror | something like itunes | 00:04 |
| DVA5912 | http://12.207.126.29/phpmyadmin how do i fix that. i have php5 and mysql server 5 installed but well | 00:04 |

| smokeymirror | where when you change the name in itunes, it renames and rearrange the folders | 00:04 |
| savvas_ | wsco: try both and see which one you like better | 00:04 |
| === user__ is now known as SkinnYPuPp | ||
| Flannel | WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3: That has nothing to do with skype. It's likely that update-manager is running (checking for updates), give it a few minutes, then try again. | 00:05 |

| lifestream | WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3, then you got one running somewhere, reboot, then try again. the package manager will be freed. only one can use it at the same time. maybe apt-get is upsing maybe update manager is using it. | 00:09 |

| crdlb | bobboti: as I suspected; nvidia does not support XRandR 1.2, so the xrandr command will be useless to you for enabling multiple monitors | 00:24 |
| crdlb | bobboti: you have to use nvidia-settings until nvidia gets around to implementing it | 00:25 |
| dxdemetriou | savvas_, it didn't work. could it be another mount utility that blocks the automount? | 00:25 |

| savvas_ | dxdemetriou: it could really be a bug related to hal package.. but I'm not sure, you could try unplug and plug the disk again while you have open one (or both in two terminals) these commands: "dbus-monitor --session" and "sudo dbus-monitor --system" (or plain, without sudo, like: dbus-monitor --system ) | 00:37 |
| rfxcasey | Flare183, I haven't messed with kde much but it seems more comprehensive would you agree or disagree? | 00:37 |

| Flare183 | rfxcasey: I agree, KDE is the advanced user interface, but GNOME is more user friendly | 00:39 |
| Odd-rationale | lg29: that is you interface's ip address, which may, or may not be the same as you external ip address. | 00:39 |

| scunizi | edney, this is not the place for a tutorial on xchat.. besides xchat isn't a file browser or downloader. | 00:43 |
| tsrk | rfxcasey, I can guarantee I have less experience than you, all I do is use this for basic irc, I haven't configured it much | 00:43 |
| savvas_ | rfxcasey: here's a really quick workaround, whenever you see your name, double-click on the sound file :) | 00:43 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | edney : it jus a irc just mess around with it | 00:43 |
| rfxcasey | tsrk, ok no problem | 00:43 |

| dsbatista | nite_johnboy, I was booting with another kernel, since I installed ubuntu audio studio, I got the rt-kernel | 00:44 |

| mikejet | XxLordMaiestasxX, thats on NBC's website. | 00:44 |
| edney | Ok and what is the diference of MIRc and IRC? and how can i use mirc on ubuntu? | 00:44 |
| edney | *witch | 00:44 |
| tsrk | edney, IRC is a type of chat, mIRC is a client | 00:44 |
| SilverStreak | mIRC is a windows program that connects to the IRC network | 00:44 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | mikejety : u need the microsoft protocol | 00:44 |
| tsrk | edney, mIRC is windows only, but you may be able to use wine to run it | 00:45 |
| dxdemetriou | savvas_, http://pastebin.com/m5c9a8fc0 http://pastebin.com/m460c8d64 | 00:45 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | mikjet : MMS ( Microsoft Media Server ) | 00:45 |
| tsrk | edney, http://www.winehq.org/ | 00:45 |
| savvas_ | rfxcasey: maybe.. if you can execute commands with highlighting in xchat, maybe you can use the command mpg321 /path/to/your/file.mp3 | 00:45 |
| lab_rat | edney: or use bitchx ;] | 00:45 |
| mikejet | XxLordMaiestasxX, What do I do to play that on Ubuntu? | 00:45 |

| XxLordMaiestasxX | mikejet : http://www.cinlug.org/node/316 try this link | 00:46 |
| SilverStreak | even though I already asked the question before. |:/ | 00:46 |
| rfxcasey | savvas_, what, you didn't get a laugh out of that? | 00:46 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | mikejet : you should google around about MMS and firefox | 00:46 |

| remu | Hey guys, I'm running Intrepid and wanted to try Kubuntu, how can I install that so that if I change my mind I can get rod of it cleanly? | 00:47 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | remu : You can run it under VMware | 00:48 |
| rfxcasey | savvas_, way to differentiate | 00:48 |
| mikejet | XxLordMaiestasxX, great thanks. | 00:48 |
| SilverStreak | tsrk: i've done a few hours of Googleing on the subject, and I'm not pulling up anything except bug reports about the situation, so I'm not very hopeful that this particular regression is an easy fix, as was my 360 controller | 00:48 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | mikejet : No problem | 00:48 |
| rfxcasey | savvas_, Just kidding, thanks | 00:48 |
| chuy_max | remu, try the live cd | 00:48 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | i think VMware is a good option | 00:49 |
| tsrk | SilverStreak, I would help if I could but I don't know anything about it so I can't help, sorry | 00:49 |
| yoyoned | remu: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 00:49 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | chuy_max vmware seem good | 00:49 |
| savvas_ | rfxcasey: now seriously, do try something with the command mpg321, it was useful for me in irssi, I don't know in xchat though :\ | 00:49 |
| SilverStreak | tsrk: it's alright, I'm just frustrated at all of Ibex's regressions | 00:49 |
| tsrk | SilverStreak, I haven't had any yet but I guess I'm lucky | 00:49 |
| tsrk | XxLordMaiestasxX, is VMware free? | 00:50 |
| remu | chuy_max, the livecd is often slow, and not persistent | 00:50 |
| billybigrigger | whos got the question on xchat? | 00:50 |
| edney | tsrk: how do people use irc to download iso? | 00:50 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | tsrk : U need to pay , but you can dl it on piratebay * wink | 00:50 |
| nalolatz | how do i revert to the rc1 kernel version after upgrading to the final release? | 00:50 |
| rfxcasey | savvas_, say my name so I can see if this worked | 00:50 |
| cabrioleur | tsrk, they have pretty confusing license. It's not free for commercial use etc., but you can get it to work for free personally. | 00:50 |
| rfxcasey | savvas_, please | 00:50 |
| tsrk | edney, what do you mean? | 00:50 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | tsrk : it very safe , if u do get virus all u need to do is to restore the image | 00:51 |
| === x-mue is now known as mue | ||
| remu | yoyoned: if I do it that way, will sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop properly, completely, and cleanly get rid of it all, including the config stuff in home? | 00:51 |
| billybigrigger | if you go to xchat preferences go System>Preferences>Chatting>Alerts, then enter your name | 00:51 |

| tsrk | XxLordMaiestasxX + cabrioleur, is there any advantage of VMware over VirtualBox? | 00:51 |
| edney | tsrk: i mean download files using mirc | 00:51 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | tsrk : More stable | 00:51 |

| tsrk | edney, I didn't know that's possible, sorry | 00:51 |

| XxLordMaiestasxX | tsrk : More stable , safer for surfing (That what i had heard from experts | 00:51 |
| rfxcasey | darn it didn't work | 00:52 |
| cabrioleur | tsrk, not really. | 00:52 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | tsrk : And most security professional use VMware | 00:52 |
| edney | tsrk: you just use mirc as chat? | 00:52 |
| asus | hi | 00:52 |
| savvas_ | rfxcasey: sorry was away, how about now? :) | 00:52 |
| SilverStreak | I've had several regressions, including: gamepads with analog sticks acting like mice (fixable with a HAL entry), DVDs won't burn (is my /tmp directory too small?), Rhythmbox will no longer play media directly from MTP devices, my SD card reader which worked before doesn't work, and my volumeup/down buttons cause an infinite loop (they don't send keyup events) of keypresses, which locks the keyboard and forces me to restart x. | 00:52 |
| tsrk | Gods_gift, XxLordMaiestasxX, the most important things to me are good integration, USB support, and networking since I'll just use it for iTunes and possibly activesync/outlook | 00:52 |
| jjdiamond | would there be any particular reason why my display never sleeps even though display in power management is set to sleep after 30min? | 00:52 |
| tsrk | edney, I use xchat, not mIRC | 00:52 |
| cabrioleur | XxLordMaiestasxX, sure, because it's a traditional software which was on the market for quite a bit. VBox is gaining popularity now. | 00:52 |
| savvas_ | dxdemetriou: file a bug with the information from dbus-monitor :) | 00:52 |
| yoyoned | remu: no. It will leave junk behind. But if you create a new user, and only use KDE for that user, there will be no config files created. Or just use live cd | 00:53 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | cabrioleur : Will give a good look on VBox | 00:53 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | cabrioleur : Thanks for the info | 00:53 |

| tsrk | or should it still be stable? | 00:59 |
| scunizi | dmsuperman, twinview typically extends like you describe.. you might need xinerama to make it do what you want.. if you're using nvidia and have installed nvidia-settings, it should give you an easy method of turning it on and off. | 00:59 |
| rleoned | hello folks | 00:59 |
| cabrioleur | carpeliam, did you try to change your icon theme? Are you using some custom one? | 00:59 |
| dmsuperman | scunizi: It's never done that for me. When I had dual monitor, I used twinview and everything worked just fine | 00:59 |
| rfxcasey | rfxcasey, | 01:00 |
| cabrioleur | carpediem1, are you using compiz? | 01:00 |
| dmsuperman | scunizi: Only when I added a second screen with a second instnace of twinview did it start doing it this way | 01:00 |
| cabrioleur | carpeliam are you using compiz? | 01:00 |
| rleoned | any one have an idea on how to get the rear speakers working with a AUDIGY 4 card? | 01:00 |
| carpeliam | cabrioleur, i installed cairo-dock | 01:00 |
| dmsuperman | scunizi: The real problem comes with fullscreen video. Half of the screen is black, the other half shows half the video | 01:00 |
| tsrk | If an external hard disk is automatically mounted to /media/disk and I set permissions on /media/disk, does it write those permissions to the external hard disk or will they stay the same no matter what disk is on /media/disk? | 01:00 |
| carpeliam | which may have changed some things | 01:00 |
| RabidLockerGnome | hey guys, just did a fresh ubuntu install. installed ATI drivers successfully. but, if i try to enable compiz, the system freezes. any ideas? | 01:00 |
| scunizi | dmsuperman, that is weird.. like I said.. try xinerama | 01:00 |
| dmsuperman | scunizi: Xinerama won't let me use compiz, though | 01:01 |

| sparr | kevin083: yes | 01:08 |

| RabidLockerGnome | edney, when i launched envy, it says the recommended driver is already installed | 01:12 |
| ThersiT | Is there any way to browse the repository to see if the software is realy. | 01:12 |
| edney | RabidLockerGnome: try to unninstall it and try again.... theres a guide on envy to do it | 01:13 |

| slacker_nl | ThersiT: did you run aptitude update before you want to install the package? | 01:13 |

| prince_jammys | qowao: between the availability of different desktop environments, and all the themes, you should be able to get something you like. i agree that default look isn't all that great. | 01:15 |

| ThersiT | slacker_nl> is there no way to just browse the repository? | 01:16 |
| edney | RabidLockerGnome: just restart if the computer ask you for it..and after all unninstall and install restart | 01:17 |
| deftone | i didn't...i just ticked the box that has cube on it....do i need to set up something else? | 01:17 |

| daedra | I've found this to find files that are *.tgz and to delete them | 01:20 |
| daedra | but what about the ones that are not? | 01:20 |
| prince_jammys | daedra: throw in a ! -name 'nametokeep.tgz' | 01:20 |

| edney | RabidLockerGnome: hi, no continue it with envy i think it should work now | 01:21 |
| edney | RabidLockerGnome: whats the model of your video card? | 01:22 |
| Thesmyth | hey there people, upgrade issue: my upgrade through Update Manager froze like 2 minutes from the end. When I rebooted, it gave me an error saying that the X config file had an incorrect format. I finished off the remaining updates be running "dpkg --configure -a" and now I don't get any errors, but gnome just sits there with a spinning wheel mouse icon forever when I boot, anything I can run to try to fix that? Pressing Alt-F2 d | 01:22 |
| RabidLockerGnome | edney, radeon 9600 | 01:22 |
| prince_jammys | daedra: and all the tests are ANDed together, so find . ! -name foo.tgz -name '*.tgz' -exec .... should do it. put an 'echo' before 'rm' to verify. | 01:22 |
| daedra | prince_jammys: ok nice one :) | 01:22 |

| JaDude | hey guys | 01:23 |
| JaDude | i installed squirrel mail and roundcube but it cant seem to login to any | 01:24 |

| Thesmyth | scratch that. I just created a new user and it works fine, so I must have a confused user settings folder somewhere | 01:25 |

| prince_jammys | daedra: hm. what command? | 01:26 |
| daedra | prince_jammys: I tried it on a scrap directory and it did work, it just produced that output | 01:26 |
| MaT-dg | deftone, what is the problem then? | 01:26 |
| daedra | prince_jammys: find . ! -name \*.tgz -exec rm {} \; | 01:26 |

| daedra | prince_jammys: it deleted everything but the *.tbz like I wanted | 01:26 |
| prince_jammys | daedra: that will try to remove EVERYTHING except for .tgz | 01:26 |
| deftone | i want to use the ring switcher but i dont' know how to use it | 01:26 |
| RabidLockerGnome | billybigrigger, why do you have a GPU in your server? lol | 01:27 |
| edney | RabidLockerGnome: ok..so the driver is not the problem...try to install compiz from sinaptic after install the drivers..good lucky..fx 5200 are good but the mx series;;;the suck | 01:27 |
| prince_jammys | daedra: use -type f to limit it to files only (no dirs) | 01:27 |
| daedra | prince_jammys: but also tried to remove the parent directory :D | 01:27 |
| MaT-dg | deftone, activate the plugin in compiz, check the bindings, use it? | 01:27 |
| RabidLockerGnome | edney, perhaps i should install compiz from the launchpad ppa? | 01:27 |
| daedra | prince_jammys: oh ok. so it would have even removed subdirs if they were in my test directory | 01:27 |
| prince_jammys | daedra: no, it would have given errors. rm with no options can't remove dirs | 01:28 |
| edney | RabidLockerGnome: hum i dont know...try to look for it on ubuntu comunity on www.orkut.com | 01:28 |
| daedra | so the complete command is find . -type f ! -name \*.tgz -exec rm {} \; | 01:28 |
| deftone | MaT-dg: how do i check the bindings? | 01:28 |
| edney | RabidLockerGnome: with my cards from sinaptic worked well | 01:28 |
| dsaddas | how do i increase FONT size of application and WINDOWS in Ubuntu? | 01:28 |

| matisse | the system wide one | 01:51 |
| mmmiiikkkeee | I was wondering when flashplayer10 final comes out. the flash game yoville does not work in flashplayer10 RC that Ubuntu ships, and I thought they would be more likely to fix the game to work with an offical version of flash. any one know any thing about this??? | 01:51 |
| vedus | yeah. I found it odd that it was doing it with an Microsoft Intellimouse and a basic Logictech portable mouse. | 01:51 |

| dpick | musikgoat: i get a permission denied even when using sudo | 01:56 |
| musikgoat | dpick: then you are trying to write to a dir you don't have permission to | 01:56 |
| Rubin | dpick, its tricky because sudo effects the echo but not the pipe | 01:56 |
| musikgoat | sudo -i | 01:56 |
| musikgoat | dpick: ^^ | 01:56 |
| Rubin | dpick, one thing is to sudo -s to get a root prompt and then do it | 01:56 |
| Rubin | but be friggin careful..... | 01:56 |
| dpick | musikgoat: i get -bash: file.txt: Permission denied | 01:56 |
| bobbob1016 | Rubin, nothing there | 01:57 |
| musikgoat | dpick: where are you writing this to? | 01:57 |
| dpick | a file in the folder i'm in | 01:57 |
| xomp | Rubin, it appears that fsck -y is my only option from the livecd lol | 01:57 |
| dpick | sudo su worked, thanks guys | 01:57 |
| Rubin | bobbob1016, to really debug it you may have to run gnome-panel in debug mode or with core files enabled etc etc | 01:57 |

| wigren | rubin: Thats what I thought. | 02:04 |

| xomp | nottha_k, yeah, I went to the "Hardware Drivers" section and there was a driver sitting in there waiting for me to install/activate it. Once that was done all is good :D Compiz working with no problems and all that ;) | 02:06 |

| Rubin | luddite, comment it out entirely and use the gnome network manager thingy instead | 02:08 |
| Rubin | Spaz926, are you on a CRT monitor? could be a resolution problem too | 02:08 |
| JeremyToo | complexity_: you'll also have to enter that from a terminal -- no gui in fluxbox of which I am aware | 02:08 |
| musikgoat | DarkKnight: that means that there are newer versions the moz has made, but ubuntu hasn't packaged, if there are reasons to build your own package, like some features you want, then find instructions on building swiftweasel from source | 02:08 |
| Spaz926 | Rubin: No, it's LCD | 02:08 |

| nottha_k | xomp: fglrx. I went to hardware, and my ati driver was activated but not currently in use. I'm going to try deactivating and activating it | 02:14 |
| Rubin | iamheinrich, i have never seen a laptop that you could install graphics cards into... | 02:14 |
| Angel | angusthefuzz: I think it is orignal one. | 02:14 |
| xomp | nottha_k, I believe that's what I had to do too, then reboot and everything was cherry! | 02:14 |
| angusthefuzz | Angel: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ | 02:14 |
| angusthefuzz | Angel: flash 9 caused some slowdowns for me, but version 10 has not yet had any problems | 02:15 |
| goodmami | so last night I used "shutdown -h 1:00" and went to bed. it seemed to shutdown fine. but when I turned the computer back on gnome-panel is completely borked | 02:15 |
| Angel | angusthefuzz: 10,0,12,36 | 02:15 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, that looks quite nasty. are you out of disk space or something? | 02:15 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom thnx=) | 02:16 |
| angusthefuzz | Angel: we have the same version, did you notice a slowdown in the past? | 02:16 |
| jj_galvez | Rubin: Nope I've got tuns of space | 02:16 |
| zurgonvrits | Is it possible to update my bios with a usb thumbdrive? | 02:16 |
| pieman | HEY | 02:16 |
| tonyb486 | you ubuntubbies are so cute | 02:16 |
| pieman | OMG YES | 02:16 |
| musikgoat | goodmami: that command isn't correlated, as in its a very common command, but rebooting could have caused some other problem | 02:16 |
| * tonyb486 pets musikgoat | 02:16 | |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, unable to create `./usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2': No such file or directory <-- seems to be the key error | 02:16 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest11135 | ||
| Rubin | jj_galvez, is that a 64bit install? | 02:16 |
| Angel | angusthefuzz: I just reinstalled ubuntu | 02:16 |
| === steelhoof_ is now known as steelhoof | ||
| acrousey | which program would you guys recommend for me to remotely access my ubuntu computer from my mac? | 02:16 |
| jj_galvez | Rubin: yes its 64bit | 02:16 |
| Angel | angusthefuzz: first time on this pc. | 02:17 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, do you have a /usr/lib32/ directory? | 02:17 |
| * musikgoat is not sure how he feels about that, off-topic? | 02:17 | |
| angusthefuzz | Angel: is the hardware older? | 02:17 |
| phpstar | My sound Card not working :( can anyone help me pls | 02:17 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: is there anything I could do to diagnose what's wrong with gnome-panel? | 02:17 |
| pieman | install debian | 02:17 |
| Rubin | acrousey, any sftp scp program | 02:17 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom I heard my graphics card is a bitch to install...well...all ATI seems to suck^^ | 02:17 |
| kamekun | xomp, thanks not fix the problem but it see to better than before | 02:17 |
| jj_galvez | Rubin: yes that folder is present | 02:17 |
| angusthefuzz | Angel: please run this in a terminal and tell me if it says yes or no: glxinfo | grep "direct" | 02:17 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: a) language! this is a family friendly channel | 02:17 |
| Angel | angusthefuzz: if got a satellite a105-s2081 | 02:17 |
| sparr | my /etc/menu-methods/fvwm-crystal is very slow, makes installing new packages take a lot longer. any solution other than removing that script? | 02:17 |
| Angel | angusthefuzz: ok | 02:17 |
| musikgoat | goodmami: what is up with gnome-panel? | 02:17 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, maybe a corrupt copy? try apt-get clean; then apt-get install ia32-libs again (sudo both) | 02:18 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: b) the default radeon drivers work pretty darn well | 02:18 |
| acrousey | rubin: thanks! | 02:18 |
| Flannel | goodmami: The act of shutting down is the culprit, that command is nothign special. | 02:18 |
| xomp | kamekun, cool, I'm a ubuntu noob so I'm not the best to give advice but it seemed logical :) if you stick around and continue to ask I'm sure someone can offer a better answer :) | 02:18 |
| askvictor_ | since update-modules is now deprecated, what should I use after modifying /etc/modprobe.d? | 02:18 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom? language? | 02:18 |
| jkristheking | yoo!! can someone help me with my sound card? i want to enable all the audio jacks instead of just having line out enabled EX: enable black(sub) orange(mic) and darg green(?) | 02:18 |
| phpstar | anyone free to help me ?? | 02:18 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom language? is my english bad?^^ | 02:18 |
| Rubin | acrousey, sshd is not enabled by default, so you will want to install that | 02:18 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: be careful. the don't like anything that couldn't make it into a kids show | 02:18 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: no swearing, etc. | 02:18 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: the first time I logged in it was unresponsive, then i ctrl-alt-bksp logged out and back in again, and it disappeared | 02:18 |
| jj_galvez | Rubin: I thought of that at first too, did that a couple of time already no good same error, even downloaded the deb from several different locations with the same results | 02:18 |
| Soulman310 | yea ubuntu's too complicated, i'm going back to mac | 02:18 |
| pieman | LOL | 02:19 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Ah I'm sorry | 02:19 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Hey, I have a network device that mounted for mythtv, but for some reason it causes it to hang when rebooting, if i do /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop. and then reboot, it works fine so I am trying to add the command /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop to when the computer shuts down, i tried adding it to a scrtipt in /etc/rc0.d but for some reason it is executing | 02:19 |
| acrousey | rubin: I think i see a place to download it | 02:19 |
| pieman | NOOB | 02:19 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: "ps -A | grep gnome-panel" shows it is running, though | 02:19 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, try this: sudo touch /usr/lib32/test | 02:19 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: no big deal, I've made the same mistake. Just don't want you kickbanned | 02:19 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: but alt-f1 and alt-f2 do not work | 02:19 |
| musikgoat | goodmami: goodmami is it repeatable after another reboot? | 02:19 |
| phpstar | :( | 02:19 |
| Cycom | but in any case, it works really well. 3d and all! | 02:19 |
| Soulman310 | lets just go back to macs | 02:19 |
| jj_galvez | Rubin: did that no errors | 02:19 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: the AccelMethod EXA is just to get video playback working right. | 02:20 |
| kamekun | xomp, i do tha before but seen for now no other person can help me with this. | 02:20 |
| goodmami | this is my third reboot (eg, first time unresponsive, second two times it's gone) | 02:20 |
| EyesOfARaven | yo | 02:20 |
| aaearon | does anyone have a nzb for interpid? | 02:20 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Thank you=) I'm not a kid only a little annoyed that I'm not better at Ubuntu by now^^ | 02:20 |
| EyesOfARaven | my sound is very quiet | 02:20 |
| phpstar | My sound Card not working :( can anyone help me pls | 02:20 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, huh. you do anything weird to anything? like /etc/apt/* ? | 02:20 |
| EyesOfARaven | i have it maxed in alsamixer and the sound applet and the program i am using | 02:20 |
| ericjung | how can i start NetworkManager from the command-line? | 02:20 |
| musikgoat | goodmami: what happens when you sudo killall gnome-panel | 02:20 |
| xomp | !alsa | phpstar | 02:20 |
| ubottu | phpstar: 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). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 02:20 |
| phpstar | Xomp i tired | 02:20 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: I understand. It's time consuming to learn linux. it's still not 'install and go' easy yet, but it's getting close. | 02:20 |
| angusthefuzz | ericjung: sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start | 02:20 |
| phpstar | tried | 02:20 |
| luddite | rubin / musikgoat : THANKS GUYS- works perfect now. All is super fast loading and wifi connects as per usual now - cheers guys | 02:20 |
| Rubin | ericjung, NetworkManager :P | 02:20 |
| musikgoat | goodmami: it should auto restart | 02:20 |
| musikgoat | luddite: yw | 02:20 |
| xomp | phpstar, I'm tired too! lol | 02:20 |
| ericjung | angusthefuzz thanks | 02:21 |
| luddite | :-) | 02:21 |
| ericjung | Rubin thanks | 02:21 |
| phpstar | lol sorry | 02:21 |
| Rubin | luddite, yay. just remember at work now, you gotta be logged in and use the applet to connect | 02:21 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom so all I need is the Ati drivers and change the AccelMethod EXA? | 02:21 |
| EyesOfARaven | i fixed it, the advanced volume manager showed more than alsamixer did | 02:21 |
| acrousey | to find the ip of my machine i use the command "ifconfig" right? | 02:21 |
| phpstar | i m ean i tried ?? | 02:21 |
| phpstar | mean | 02:21 |
| luddite | im gonna reboot again to watch in its progress bar glory | 02:21 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: the default opensource ATI drivers should already be installed | 02:21 |
| musikgoat | luddite: on another note tho, that means your router is probly having trouble giving out dhcp | 02:21 |
| xomp | phpstar, what have you done thusfar to resolve it? | 02:21 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: i only did "kill -9 (id of gnome-panel)" but that didn't do anything special... lemme try your suggestion | 02:21 |
| ericjung | angusthefuzz: it says "Starting NetworkManager [fail]" | 02:21 |
| angusthefuzz | acrousey: yes, use ifconfig | 02:21 |
| phpstar | xomp PM ?? | 02:21 |
| acrousey | thanks | 02:21 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: google up accelmethod EXA to see how to set up that. otherwise, you should be good, wobbly windows and all | 02:21 |
| phpstar | busy here in main windows | 02:21 |
| jj_galvez | Rubin: I've not done anything odd, and other packages have installed without issues, did you want to see the contnets of /etc/apt/? | 02:21 |
| ptown | Why should i download the newest version of ubuntu if i have 7.10? | 02:21 |
| luddite | musikgoat - yeah - it may do ill check / Rubin thats easy thats mate. | 02:21 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: DO NOT install the ATI proprietary drivers if you want to watch video on your machine | 02:21 |
| xomp | phpstar, one man PM'ing another man just isn't right :P | 02:22 |
| angusthefuzz | ericjung: try sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart | 02:22 |
| phpstar | comeon | 02:22 |
| phpstar | its so busy here | 02:22 |
| xomp | phpstar, ok | 02:22 |
| phpstar | thx | 02:22 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: after 15 seconds no restart | 02:22 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Haha that i know, I tried it first....max resolution was 640x480 after that^^ | 02:22 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, nah. you may require help from someone more skilled in the package system than I | 02:22 |
| ptown | is it worth upgrading from 7.10? | 02:22 |
| musikgoat | goodmami: its not showing in ps? | 02:22 |
| mxweas_ | Has anyone got the b43 driver to work on one of the new macbook pros? | 02:22 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: it worked ok for me, except for video playback | 02:22 |
| goodmami | nope | 02:22 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, all i can tell you is that I installed that package on a 64bit system a couple days ago and it worked :) | 02:23 |
| musikgoat | goodmami: hmm, log out and back in now | 02:23 |
| ericjung | angusthefuzz: thanks,man. it says "[OK]" but there's no window or anything with which to interact | 02:23 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: ok... brb.. | 02:23 |
| jj_galvez | Rubin: well thanks for trying, I'll keep asking hopefully someone will chime in | 02:23 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom For me it could not find anything graphics card, screen nothing. | 02:23 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: the default drivers couldn't? | 02:23 |
| Rubin | ericjung, it should go to the upper right hand applet tray thingy | 02:23 |
| ptown | can anyone tell me what the benfits are of 8.10 from 7.10? | 02:23 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: what version of ubuntu? | 02:23 |
| angusthefuzz | ericjung: NetworkManager is a service, you can load up an applet for it by right clicking on the gnome panel | 02:23 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom No the proprietary drivers^^ | 02:24 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: oh, yeah. they're pretty fail right now. | 02:24 |
| Rubin | ptown, 7.10 to 8.10 is pretty significant. better hw support, more usability, much prettier etc | 02:24 |
| angusthefuzz | ericjung: the applet is called NetworkMonitor | 02:24 |
| iamheinrich | The default works with everything exept movies and well...games^^ | 02:24 |
| jj_galvez | Rubin: do you know where dpkg unpacks stuff to during the install? is there a temp location where files go prior to being moved to their final location? | 02:24 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, i was thinking down the same path, but I don't know, and I havnt been able to figure it out | 02:24 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom not very good no | 02:25 |
| angusthefuzz | jj_galvez: what was the problem? | 02:25 |
| Rubin | jj_galvez, /var/lib/dpkg myabe? | 02:25 |
| cinex | how can I unmute the sound ? | 02:25 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: games are likely to be a problem no matter what, but setting the accelmethod to EXA and restarting Xorg should fix the video thing. | 02:25 |
| jj_galvez | angusthefuzz: take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/66524/ | 02:25 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: your video player crashes immediately? | 02:25 |
| Rubin | !sound |cinex | 02:25 |
| ubottu | cinex: 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). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 02:25 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: that seemed to do it! I wish I knew what was actually going on, but re-logging in after killing the panel seemed to work | 02:25 |
| Akril | is it possible to use Beryl / Compiz-Fusion on Ubuntu as virtual system using VmWare Fusion ? | 02:26 |
| ericjung | angusthefuzz , Rubin : I have links for Prefs->Network Configuration, Prefs->Network Proxy, Administration->Network, ADministration->Network Tools, but nothing about NetworkMonitor or NetworkManager. Help! | 02:26 |
| goodmami | musikgoat: thanks for the help (and Flannel for pitching in, too) | 02:26 |
| musikgoat | goodmami: try sudo shutdown -h now and then reboot | 02:26 |

| Rubin | ericjung, it looks like a little computer just to the left of the speaker. let me find a screenshot, 1 sec | 02:26 |
| angusthefuzz | ericjung: right click on a blank spot on your top bar and add to panel an applet called network monitor | 02:26 |
| goodmami | kk, i'll report it then | 02:26 |

| daiv | musikgoat: I upgraded 8.04 (Heron) to 8.10 (Ibex), and my USB keyboard/mouse stopped working. Dell Dimension, worked great under 8.04, but I can't do anything now | 02:32 |
| ericjung | angusthefuzz : so I right-click on the panel/taskbar thing and say "Add To Panel", right? and select "Network Monitor" ? (There's no Network Manager) | 02:33 |
| Rubin | luddite, check logs. myabe /var/log/messages to start | 02:33 |
| vbman11 | munnymunnyyeayea: a partnership with microshaft is not a good thing | 02:33 |
| daiv | I'd prefer to avoid a reinstall, but have run out of ideas. | 02:33 |
| * Pelo is bored with his theme but can't find anything he likes | 02:33 | |

| XxLordMaiestasxX | and i accidentally shut it down | 02:36 |
| capitalidea | i cant get compiz to rotate cube with edge flip after upgrading to ibex | 02:36 |
| Rubin | ericjung, logout, ctrl-alt-f1 to get a console, login as you, delete config directories like .gnome2 .gnome2_private etc. (ls -d .* to see them) | 02:36 |
| * chalcedony smiles | 02:36 | |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Looks like it's working like a charm | 02:36 |
| Rubin | ericjung, or create a new user, and transfer stuff you care about to that account and then delete the old one | 02:36 |
| Pelo | capitalidea, ask in #compiz | 02:36 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: good! | 02:36 |
| pen | hi | 02:36 |

| luddite | ok looking | 02:37 |
| tritium | !nvidia | jaypur | 02:37 |
| ubottu | jaypur: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:37 |
| Rubin | luddite, if you do tail -f /var/log/messages and leave that open, and then try to suspend.. it should be what prints out | 02:37 |
| chalcedony | i have a question about files that get "left back" when you do update && upgrade.. are they supposed to be leaving kernels un updated? | 02:37 |
| ericjung | Rubin : on the login screen, i can enter cntrl-alt-f1 to get a console?? | 02:37 |
| tritium | chalcedony: no, they get updated. | 02:37 |
| dhanar_10 | i have a problem with file-roller. i cannot extract a file from a zip archive if that file contains "[" or "]". i am using ubuntu 8.10 and file-roller 2.24.1-0ubuntu2. is anyone having the same problem? | 02:37 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Nope | 02:37 |
| Rubin | ericjung, yeah. ctrl-alt-f1 changes virtual terminals. alt-f7 to go back | 02:37 |
| xomp | anyone know why my Windows Media Center PC suddenly wakes when I put it in standby? It just seems to wake itself up for no apparent reason. | 02:37 |

| Rubin | luddite, try googling for your exact model of laptop and ubuntu | 02:38 |
| jjdiamond | no sleep/hibernate and display won't sleep | 02:38 |
| xomp | Rubin, tritium , it's the bad side of having multiple server tabs in XChat and not paying attention to your active window lmao | 02:38 |
| Rubin | luddite, usually people run 'what works and what to fix' pages | 02:38 |
| pen | Pelo: no one in posix is answering my questions can you help me with it? | 02:38 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: ah! well let me know if it works when you do! | 02:38 |

| pen | Pelo: well, do you know anyone who knows about this? | 02:39 |
| Rubin | iamheinrich, theres tons in add/remove packages | 02:39 |
| Pelo | jaypur, drivers on the nvidia website are .bin they are not distro or release dependent | 02:39 |

| Pelo | pen, sorry, try google | 02:40 |

| keith1212131 | will flash 10 fix it | 02:40 |

| thiebaude | pen:no went back to 8.04 | 02:40 |
| keith1212131 | and yes ive install flash non free | 02:40 |
| jj_galvez | angusthefuzz: sorry toilet overflow - I saw that that, what other info would be helpful to provide, unfortunately I don't have anything else other then it won't install with that error | 02:40 |

| Cycom | iamheinrich: I know what you mean :) | 02:41 |
| Spaz926 | Rubin: What do I need to configure? | 02:42 |
| tritium | jaypur: nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy should suppor that | 02:42 |
| daiv | Rubin: thanks, I'll give them a shot | 02:42 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Hmm, games doesn't work. | 02:42 |
| complexity_ | JeremyToo | 02:42 |
| jaypur | tritium, i want the driver to play counter-strike 1.6 | 02:42 |
| daiv | I really dig Ubuntu so far, but if I can't even log in it's going to be a problem ;) | 02:42 |
| Rubin | Spaz926, its kind of complicated to edit xorg.conf you'll want to find some documuntation. but basically you would set the driver to the one called 'nv' | 02:42 |
| musikgoat | jaypur: what card do you have? | 02:42 |
| chalcedony | tritium if it's not supposed to keep back kernel files then what did it do? http://paste.ubuntu.com/66557/ | 02:42 |
| Rubin | daiv: dont give up | 02:42 |
| Spaz926 | Rubin: okay | 02:42 |
| jaypur | musikgoat, none | 02:43 |
| pen | Spaz926: what's the problem? | 02:43 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: bummer dude. I'm rather suprised. They may work under fglrx, but compiz won't work with video | 02:43 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: do you use compiz? | 02:43 |
| daiv | Rubin: I don't want to, but I work too much to spend too much time on a PC | 02:43 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom I've got like 5-6 fps in tuxracer. | 02:43 |
| musikgoat | jaypur: you do not have an nvidia card, but you were going to go to nvidia.com to get drivers? | 02:43 |
| daiv | I'll just go back to the LTE, it worked great | 02:43 |
| Rubin | daiv: 99% of ubuntu 'just works' | 02:43 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Nope | 02:43 |
| tritium | chalcedony: I said it's supposed to upgrade them, since you asked if it's supposed to leae them un-upgraded. They do get upgraded. Old kernels don't get removed, however. | 02:43 |
| Rubin | daiv, i missed your question so i cant say | 02:43 |
| RyanPrior | daiv: I just got back from AFK, mind repeating your problem? | 02:43 |
| thiebaude | pen:installing now | 02:43 |
| jaypur | musikgoat, card is the board? i have a mx440... | 02:43 |
| temppy | jaypur: are you on intrepid? | 02:43 |
| jaypur | temppy, yup | 02:44 |
| daiv | RyanPrior: I boot up, immediately after 8.04->8.10 upgrade, and my kb/mouse don't work | 02:44 |
| temppy | jaypur: old nvidia cards are not supported... | 02:44 |
| daiv | USB or PS/2 keyboard | 02:44 |
| musikgoat | jaypur: does counterstrike 1.6 support that card? | 02:44 |
| Pelo | jaypur, you mean you have an onboard video card that is a nvidia chipset ? | 02:44 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom But I read something about it being preinstalled in the 8.0.4, If that's so I have it^^ | 02:44 |
| jaypur | musikgoat, yes | 02:44 |
| RyanPrior | daiv: Are they USB or PCI? | 02:44 |

| Spaz926 | pen: When I boot Ubuntu 8.10 it works fine while booting, but after it gets done with the boot screen, all it shows is a small line at the top. | 02:44 |
| daiv | USB for the primary, but I tried a PS/2, no luck | 02:44 |
| pan324234 | wat is FC2? | 02:44 |
| jaypur | Pelo, i have a nvidia mx440 without any drivers... | 02:44 |
| Rubin | daiv: ps/2 didnt work either?? | 02:44 |

| Pelo | jaypur, start by looking at >menu > system > application > restricted drivers, see if there is anyting for you in there | 02:45 |

| kevin1 | every time I restart my comp, I have to use the ndiswrapper graphical front end to uninstall and reinstall wireless driver | 02:45 |

| pen | I haven't tried | 02:45 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: oh, yeah. do your menus fade? do you have wobbly windows? | 02:45 |
| daiv | Rubin: Works fine from a 7.something or 8.04 live disc though | 02:45 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom No | 02:45 |
| keith1212131 | pan324234 i don;t think so | 02:45 |
| XxLordMaiestasxX | pen : Should only be able to play through Wine perhaps | 02:45 |
| RyanPrior | daiv: Aha, sounds like a kernel panic. Does Windows work on this machine? | 02:45 |
| jaypur | wait a sec guyz | 02:45 |
| Rubin | daiv: i might guess a video driver bug | 02:45 |
| Pelo | pen, if it says linux on the box you probably can , if it says windows you might be able to play it using wine | 02:45 |
| daiv | Windows runs great, so do prior Ubuntu live discs | 02:45 |
| daiv | it's i810 (i845, specifically) Dell video | 02:46 |
| Rubin | daiv: 8.04 is a fine distro too, you could use that till its worked out | 02:46 |
| pen | Pelo: I know. I just wonder if it's possible to play | 02:46 |
| daiv | Rubin: I hate to reinstall is the big thing | 02:46 |
| keith1212131 | pan324234 it takes them a while to get it to work for linux | 02:46 |
| Rubin | daiv: yeah | 02:46 |
| billybigrigger | daiv, you having problems with crasehs? | 02:46 |
| pan324234 | oh | 02:46 |
| Spaz926 | pen: it is a small, maybe 2megapixal line, where I can put my cursor at the top and see the tip, but I don't see the rest of my screen correctly. | 02:46 |
| daiv | This PC has my XP installation from 2001, i don't want to give up ;) | 02:46 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom something is wrong...I've missed something | 02:46 |
| Pelo | pen, check the winehq.com app database | 02:46 |
| pan324234 | do they run in on wine | 02:46 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: well, if you don't use the desktop effects, it may be worthwhile to disable them and get fglrx working. but then again, it's really nice to use compiz. go to System->Preferences->appearence, then click the visual effects tab | 02:46 |
| Rubin | daiv: you can probably tweak xorg.conf to get it to stop. | 02:46 |
| pan324234 | ? | 02:46 |
| daiv | billybigrigger: No KB/mouse on boot of 8.10 | 02:46 |

| Guest98087 | is anyone else having a problem with pidgin crashing ? | 02:46 |

| keith1212131 | and not mess with WINE | 02:47 |
| pen | Spaz926: are you using 8.10? | 02:47 |
| daiv | RyanPrior: I meant the Ubuntu part, XP is a separate PC | 02:47 |
| pen | Pelo: alrighty | 02:47 |
| Rubin | daiv: ssh. telnet is dead. and no, its locking up i think. you'd need to boot to safe (non xorg) mode | 02:47 |
| tritium | leachim6: not since upgrading to intrepid, no | 02:47 |
| Spaz926 | pen: yes | 02:47 |
| mgutz | that is, if i type start test.htm from terminal, it will start the browser with test.htm | 02:47 |
| daiv | I'm a tech-geek for XP at work, I don't ever want to lose to a PC | 02:47 |
| RyanPrior | Rubin: It doesn't sound like an xorg problem, if the caps lock is flashing (indicative of kernel panic) | 02:47 |
| billybigrigger | daiv, oh i just seen that your caps was flashing, im having a problem with random crashes while in gnome and my caps just sits there and flashes | 02:47 |
| leachim6 | ...I send one IM, then it grays out and I can't use it anymore | 02:47 |
| daiv | Rubin: do you know any good tutuorials? | 02:47 |
| leachim6 | it locks up | 02:47 |
| Rubin | RyanPrior, but it gets as far as starting x before it happens... | 02:47 |
| pen | Spaz926: does live cd environment work? | 02:47 |
| leachim6 | and I've tried creating new profiles too | 02:47 |
| mgutz | or $ start test.txt, it starts text editor with test.txt | 02:47 |
| musikgoat | leachim6: i would ask in #pidgin | 02:47 |
| pen | Spaz926: can you login to new installation the first time? | 02:47 |
| jaypur | Pelo, there is no driver... | 02:48 |
| Pelo | leachim6, try deleting the settings folder , it's a hidden folder in your /home folder | 02:48 |
| pan324234 | how do i tell it to not start gdm at boot | 02:48 |
| kevin1 | every time I restart my comp, I have to use the ndiswrapper graphical front end to uninstall and reinstall wireless driver...then it goes from a comp with a ylo triangle to one green dot then slowly to two green | 02:48 |
| Spaz926 | pen: yes, it didn't happen until I installed the nvidia driver | 02:48 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Hmm "Desktop effects could not be enabled | 02:48 |
| daiv | Another problem is I'm using a 37" TV for a monitor, so it doesn't support many resolutions | 02:48 |
| RyanPrior | daiv: When the machine locks up, try hitting ctrl+alt+F1 (using PS/2 keyboard) | 02:48 |
| pen | Spaz926: how did you install the driver? | 02:48 |

| iamheinrich | Cycom perhaps something wrong with accel | 02:48 |
| jaypur | tritium, im reading, i knew that | 02:48 |

| prince_jammys | Johninlex: well, i don't know how to go about doing that. the programs i mentioned give you a hexdump/octal dump of the files. you might try something involving 'strings filename.exe' | 03:09 |

| justdave | is there a way to go back and do that? | 03:11 |
| jaypur | Pelo, man people said that that driver doesnt work, why should that work? | 03:11 |
| Pelo | balz, the installer should import the info ,but alternatively you can probably export then from thunderbird , back them up and reimport them ater you install ubuntu | 03:12 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom hmm, could not find : xserver-xorg-video-radeon | 03:12 |

| spencer | gstreamer nor xine works :( | 03:12 |

| Cycom | iamheinrich: could not find it? | 03:13 |

| balz | Pelo: aah, yeah i'm installing over a vista partition, so it looks like i'll have to try to export. i didn't realize there was an export function in thunderbird. =) | 03:13 |
| jaypur | Pelo, ill go to recovery and enter the command line aiight? | 03:14 |
| Pelo | temppy, thanks for the heads up | 03:14 |
| mike-burns | qowao: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Move window one workspace to the left | 03:14 |
| iamheinrich | Cycom Radeonhd found and installed | 03:14 |
| qowao | thx mike-burns great | 03:14 |
| Pelo | balz, I'M not sure there is , but most do | 03:14 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: k. now, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 03:14 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: that should reset your xorg.conf to default | 03:14 |
| Pelo | balz, might not be export, might be something else, try and ask in #thunderbird , | 03:14 |
| Cycom | iamheinrich: then add the AccelMethod EXA line again | 03:14 |
| balz | okay thanks a bunch! | 03:14 |
| qowao | mike-burns: which one would you recommend (not that i overwrite others) | 03:15 |
| Pelo | jaypur, temppy just told me that the legacy nvidia driver does not work in intrepid, so don't just give up | 03:15 |
| * Pelo points jaypur to a nice quite corner where he can cry in peace | 03:15 | |
| jaypur | Pelo, the legacy, like the drivers that appears on the manager? | 03:15 |
| mike-burns | qowao: I actually use the "Move window to workspace #1" (#2, #3, ...) keybinding instead, and I mapped it to Shift+Alt+Ctrl+1 | 03:15 |
| jaypur | Pelo, haha | 03:16 |
| marshall | does anybody have projectm working in intrepid? | 03:16 |
| jaypur | Pelo, nice... | 03:16 |
| qowao | i mapped it to CTRL SHIFT 1 | 03:16 |
| Pelo | jaypur, geforce 4 cards are too old, they are considred legacy, | 03:16 |
| qowao | and CTRL SHIFT 2 | 03:16 |
| mike-burns | Cool. | 03:16 |
| qowao | shouldnt overwrite anything right? | 03:16 |
| jaypur | Pelo, so what should i do? | 03:16 |
| temppy | jaypur: only the 177 and 173 drivers work | 03:16 |
| mike-burns | qowao: If it lets you set it, it doesn't overwrite anything. | 03:16 |
| qowao | thx mike-burns perfect | 03:16 |

| Pelo | jaypur, that's what I'm saying, you mght not hvae a solution, try asking in #nvidia maybe someone there has an answer for you | 03:16 |
| temppy | musikgoat: no, I think thats legacy | 03:17 |
| tritium | justdave: ok, good | 03:17 |

| [TK]D-Fender | Hello all... I've only touched Ubuntu a handful of times and have just installed 8.10 x386 on my system. I've got an nVidia 6250 type onboard graphics I'm trying to get out of 800x600 | 03:58 |
| C65CE02 | ant2ne, thats the xorg.conf for when it runs 4bit video? | 03:58 |
| xeom | i just upgraded to 8.10, my desired resolution isnt showing up; how can i add it to the list? | 03:58 |
| Miesco_ | My computer randomly freezes after like 10 minutes of being on, I have to cold boot, cap lock and num lock flash... Is there a log file for kernel panics or whatever? | 03:58 |
| temppy | !notes | [TK]D-Fender | 03:58 |
| ubottu | [TK]D-Fender: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 03:58 |
| bahadunn | cmdbbq: I am well aware of the nvidia/ati situation | 03:58 |
| [TK]D-Fender | I'm offered the choice to activate one of 2 sets of proprietary drivers, neither of which seem to actually want to activate... | 03:59 |
| P_Kable | [TK]D-Fender=> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:59 |
| Saga_ | Hello Ubuntu -- I'm new to Linux -- I started experiencing issues with Bluetooth (Mouse) after the latest 8.10 update. However, most of the manuals are referring to the old Gutsy Gibbon. I was wondering if I could seek assistances here. | 03:59 |
| niten | Robb_M: Yes...but keeps running in the background | 03:59 |
| unop | bahadunn, if they find a way to do that without him setting up that ability explicity, they've found a way to exploit apache - that's another story though | 03:59 |
| Josesordo | so, last time I using ubuntu..exist Beryl..now gone,...compiz is similar and better? | 03:59 |
| niten | So any advice on how I connect to a wireless network? Just manually? | 04:00 |
| mrzither | Saga_: What exactly is the problem? | 04:00 |
| ant2ne | compiz = better | 04:00 |
| Josesordo | cool | 04:00 |
| temppy | [TK]D-Fender: why x386? | 04:00 |
| Robb_M | meh, i am not sure myself niten, maybe one of these fine folks can help both of us out with that ;) | 04:00 |
| darkbishop | niten : sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 04:00 |
| Saga_ | mrzither: I couldn't connect -- It do seek the mouse up -- The pair kept failed. | 04:00 |
| xeom | How can i add a resolution to the screen size list? My screen is 1650x1080, but doesnt show up on the list | 04:00 |
| Josesordo | well, when I finish to download the ISO..I will test it | 04:00 |
| Robb_M | thanks darkbishop :) | 04:00 |
| [TK]D-Fender | temppy: just don't want to run into AMD64 issues... stick with the basics... | 04:00 |
| sfire | xeom: intel video? | 04:01 |
| [TK]D-Fender | temppy: Not that's saved my the first painful bit... | 04:01 |
| bahadunn | unop: yes but the whole idea is that the webserver should not be allowed to write to the webroot so that if it is exploited the exploit might fail. | 04:01 |
| cmdbbq | alright, new tact, in gmplayer i am able to select X11, xv or gl, my problem persists on X11 and gl, but when i select xv (which I have heard is preferable) i get no video output | 04:01 |
| niten | darkbishop: Yes, I can see the network I want...I'm trying to avoid manually setting up wireless, though, I remember all too well when that was necessary.... | 04:01 |
| xeom | sfire:no nvidia 8800 series | 04:01 |
| mrzither | Saga_: Huh. I haven't had a problem with mine after upgrading... | 04:01 |
| bahadunn | unop: its just good security | 04:01 |
| [TK]D-Fender | P_Kable: Did just run through that.. nothing I saw too specific for my issue... maybe I missed the driver prompt... | 04:01 |
| temppy | [TK]D-Fender: ah, so 32bit.. anyway, check the notes, see if you card is supported... | 04:01 |
| Middy | xeom- the "screen resolution list"? I think you might have to edit your xorg.conf file, try googling xorg.conf screen resolutions | 04:01 |
| sfire | xeom: you will probably have to modify the xorg.conf file | 04:01 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Hey guys. I'm having sound problems all of a sudden and the only information i can get is Amarok is spitting out "Xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers." It happened after a reboot. I'm guessing an upgraded pkg messed it up. What can I do? | 04:01 |

| C65CE02 | ant2ne, thats the xorg.conf for when it runs 4bit video? | 04:02 |
| ant2ne | yup | 04:02 |
| Saga_ | mrzither: Well -- I don't have much of choices -- The settings the manual asked me to toggle on certain input services, but with the latest update, it's long gone. | 04:02 |
| ant2ne | I don't know that it is 4 bit exactly. but it looks horrible | 04:02 |
| xeom | ive tried to, but it says file does not exist | 04:02 |
| C65CE02 | did you try adding an explicit bit depth in the screen section? | 04:02 |
| sfire | xeom: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:03 |
| [TK]D-Fender | temppy: Nothing concerning any specific model... | 04:03 |
| ant2ne | like.... default "24 bit" | 04:03 |
| Middy | xeom: what are you typing to open your xorg.conf? | 04:03 |
| ant2ne | and then a SubSection of Dislpay | 04:03 |
| xeom | sfire:my mistake lower case x, ok its up | 04:03 |
| mrzither | Saga_: That's strange. Maybe it's a hardware issue? (although, that would be a weird coincidence) | 04:03 |
| C65CE02 | ant2ne, yes but try 16 first, sometime 24/32 are flakey on mac | 04:03 |

| [TK]D-Fender | OH.. and anyone else having issue with Synaptic slowing to a crawl just getting the update lists? | 04:05 |
| unop | nano__, it depends on how you calculate the md5sum after burning the image | 04:05 |

| [TK]D-Fender | ok, fixed the primary repo issue.. Canada's are FUBAR'd | 04:10 |
| * [TK]D-Fender feels he is at least not completely incompetant... | 04:11 | |
| Madpilot | [TK]D-Fender, the Canadian mirror can be troublesome. I always use the main archives. | 04:11 |
| === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious | ||
| [TK]D-Fender | Madpilot: When in doubt, go generic... | 04:11 |
| Madpilot | [TK]D-Fender, yup | 04:11 |
| carpeliam | my Application Switcher is broken- it won't show application icons, it will only show screenshots. how can i fix this? | 04:11 |
| temppy | [TK]D-Fender: you should add them both to your sources. apt will choose whichever is working | 04:11 |
| Flannel | Theres more than just ca.archive.ubuntu.com, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 04:12 |
| [TK]D-Fender | temppy: As I have just found where to select them anyways I think I'll let this sleeping dog lie, and pick it by hand when the rest of the world gets screwed over first... besides its not like I won't hear it here first :) | 04:12 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Just need this 1 stupid Xorg issue resolved and I think the rest I can breath easier on... | 04:13 |
| balz | does anybody know of a program that can do disk imaging for backup purposes? I need something that can be set on a schedule, hot image a drive, and compress the contents... basicaly something like Acronis TrueImage | 04:13 |

| cmdbbq | crdlb, sorry i was researching elsewhere, i am using flgrx installed from the hardware manager in 8.10 and again my card is ATI Technologies Inc M22 Mobility Radeon X300 | 04:14 |
| hema | when I click right click in any folder I cannot change permission I can not use ubuntu | 04:14 |
| Saga_ | Do Ubuntu 8.10 usually have bluz (Bluetooth) included? | 04:14 |
| Anden | =] in case this was missed by some on I just upgraded to 8.10. and every time I got any where in Places in the menu...it opens up it up in totem...any one know how to fix that??e who can help... | 04:15 |
| crdlb | cmdbbq: fglrx's Xvideo support is very bad (much worse than the default driver's support) particularly if you're using compiz | 04:15 |
| balz | hema: what do you mean by you can't use ubuntu? | 04:15 |
| scunizi | balz, you might look into partimage.. not sure if it will do what you want but it does do imaging of partitions over a network | 04:15 |
| hema | yes by this permission I canot do any thing | 04:15 |
| balz | scunizi: i'll look into it, thanks for the tip! =) | 04:15 |
| balz | hema. have you tried changing the permission via command line? | 04:16 |
| balz | i ask because it's usually easier | 04:16 |
| sam__ | hi everybody | 04:16 |
| scunizi | balz.. no problem.. dd is also powerful and can be scripted from what I understand.. don't know much about it though | 04:16 |
| Anden | heya sam | 04:16 |
| cmdbbq | crdlb: ah, I am not using compiz (or any compositing) i must choose between 3D and video playback i guess... | 04:16 |
| hema | dear I am new user | 04:16 |
| balz | scunizi: i'll look at that too. i just need to be able to imgae to an external drive, really | 04:17 |
| cmdbbq | i am going to try something, be back soon | 04:17 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Ok, got a package manager lock... gonna restart and go through the basic. Will be back if its not up 100%. | 04:17 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Thanks for all of your advice so far. | 04:17 |

| sYsk | is there a way to list all users ? | 04:20 |
| mrzither | K_Dallas: sudo rmmod pcspkr | 04:20 |
| sYsk | cat /etc/passwd right ? | 04:21 |
| Miesco | dmesg clears itself when you reboot? | 04:21 |
| balz | K_Dallas: i don't remember offhand, but i know it's all over google | 04:21 |
| scunizi | sYsk, who I think | 04:21 |
| cishpix | sYsk, u can see in /etc/passwd | 04:21 |
| sYsk | thx | 04:21 |
| ranjithk | hi guys. anyone here installed ubuntu intrepid? | 04:21 |
| balz | hema: did that work? | 04:21 |
| K_Dallas | mrzither, thanks bunches. thanks balz too | 04:21 |
| chrziz | ranjithk: yep | 04:21 |
| balz | K_Dallas: np. sorry i couldn't be more specific | 04:21 |
| cishpix | ranjith, I've done it but from upgrade, not install | 04:21 |
| cishpix | ranjithk, I've done it but from upgrade, not install | 04:21 |
| hema | i want to www folder | 04:21 |
| ranjithk | i m missing many things .. [compiz extra plugins.. monaco fonts.. many things :(] | 04:21 |
| darkbishop | want or when? | 04:22 |
| hema | to be able to paste files to it | 04:22 |
| sYsk | now, how do you add a new user ? | 04:22 |
| balz | hema: what? i thought you wanted to change permissions to 777? | 04:22 |
| sYsk | adduser right ? | 04:22 |
| K_Dallas | balz, no worry. I googled and got many different ways to do it ;) sudo rmmod pcspkr seems to be the easiest and safest one to do. | 04:22 |
| darkbishop | ranjithk: eveyone having a problem. | 04:22 |
| mrzither | K_Dallas: if you want it always disabled, add it to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 04:22 |
| chrziz | ranjithk: through an upgrade or fresh install? | 04:22 |
| CD | i am running vista as a guest in vmware and hate it, and was wondering if ubuntu would work better in vmware. | 04:22 |
| hema | yes | 04:22 |
| sfire | sYsk: maybe you should lookup these simple commands yourself before asking | 04:22 |
| ranjithk | fresh install | 04:22 |
| K_Dallas | mrzither, great. Thanks again | 04:22 |
| unop | hema, didn't i already give you the command to do that? | 04:22 |
| sYsk | right im done | 04:22 |
| CD | vista in vmware is incredibly buggy | 04:22 |
| cishpix | sYsk, right (adduser username) or useradd username | 04:22 |
| mrzither | K_Dallas: no problem | 04:22 |
| chrziz | ranjithk: did you try using synaptic? | 04:23 |
| balz | hema: so type in the following - sudo chmod /path/to/file 777 | 04:23 |
| darkbishop | dont think she know how to use command | 04:23 |
| ranjithk | chrziz: using synaptic for that? | 04:23 |
| unop | balz, hema, don't suggest that (and it's wrong) | 04:23 |
| ranjithk | *for what | 04:23 |
| hema | no file i want folder | 04:23 |
| scunizi | balz, wouldn't he want 644 so the permissions are only for his login? | 04:23 |
| BrokenPeace | hello all, I have a stupid question....A friend is running windows me and I can not find a defrag tool or system maintenance tool any where on the net for free.....anyone know of one? | 04:23 |
| chrziz | ranjithk: using synaptic to download the missing things | 04:23 |
| balz | unop: oh is it chmod 777 /path ? | 04:23 |
| CD | is ubuntu good for watching divx movies and stuff? | 04:24 |
| mrzither | CD: vista is buggy in general :) | 04:24 |
| sfire | CD: yes | 04:24 |
| unop | hema, sudo adduser $USER www-data; sudo chgrp www-data /var/www # then, log out and log back in | 04:24 |
| mrzither | CD: if you use VLC | 04:24 |
| darkbishop | cd: install vlc..it would make it batter | 04:24 |
| Madpilot | BrokenPeace, there's a ##windows channel | 04:24 |
| CD | i have vlc for vista | 04:24 |
| balz | scunizi: i dunno, he told me he wanted 777 | 04:24 |
| K_Dallas | mrzither, this is the line that i have to add, right? blacklist pcspkr | 04:24 |
| unop | balz, yes, but there's a better way of getting write access to the directory without relaxing the permissions so much | 04:24 |
| darkbishop | cd: just run sudo apt-get vlc | 04:24 |
| mrzither | K_Dallas: correct | 04:24 |
| K_Dallas | mrzither, thank you | 04:24 |
| Flannel | BrokenPeace: The defragmenter is built in. Right click a disk and go to properties. But, ##windows can give you better info. | 04:24 |
| darkbishop | cd: just run sudo apt-get install vlc | 04:24 |
| balz | unop: gotcha. yeah i havent messed with permissions in a while lol | 04:24 |

| K_Dallas | Q: Where should i check to see problems people have had with interpid and if they were resolved after the release? I installed interpid on toshiba-a200 and it was great untill i noticed that after 20-30 min, the laptop went through kernel panic for some reason so had to downgrade. Thanks | 04:26 |
| mrzither | oh | 04:26 |
| After_Math | to write to a file, do you issue the cat command like so? cat information to file > filename? | 04:26 |
| hema | becuase I close folder and went back nothing has been chaged | 04:26 |
| unop | hema, you could do that i.e. restart the machine - but all you need is to log the user out and log back in | 04:26 |
| hema | changed | 04:26 |
| CD | mrzither, so two people can be on the same computer at once | 04:26 |
| unop | After_Math, no, you use echo instead of cat there | 04:27 |
| CD | works out great when it works | 04:27 |
| CD | vista is a douche though | 04:27 |
| DaveCave | 8.10, how do i set the eth0 connection to be changable, i get the readonly error | 04:27 |
| After_Math | unop, ok just the way I did it but with echo? | 04:27 |
| mrzither | CD: wait, what? You can't use them both at the same time? | 04:27 |
| unop | After_Math, yes, echo foo bar baz > file | 04:27 |
| Cpudan80 | After_Math: No | 04:28 |
| Cpudan80 | After_Math: Use >> | 04:28 |
| MrPeepers310 | hey in 8.04 i had installed the setting to have the application menu bar to show up on the top of the screen (like mac os x) and now i can't find a way to take that setting off. anyone know? | 04:28 |
| After_Math | Cpudan80, does >> append? | 04:28 |
| Cpudan80 | echo "Hello World!" >> myFile | 04:28 |
| After_Math | unop, thanks | 04:28 |
| CD | mrzither: yes, i have two monitors, one for host and one for guest, and with vmware workstation you can "grab" different usb devices | 04:28 |
| Cpudan80 | After_Math: yes - >> append -- > overwrite | 04:28 |
| DaveCave | mrpeepers: its like windows, drag the bar around | 04:28 |
| CD | mrzither: works perfectly | 04:28 |
| mrzither | CD: wow, that's actually really cool | 04:28 |
| drag0n_ | hey guys, anyone here installed ubuntu on a virtual pc before? | 04:28 |
| After_Math | Cpudan80, thanks :) | 04:28 |
| CD | mrzither: you bet ;) Took a while to figure it all out | 04:28 |
| drag0n_ | im having problems recognize my local network | 04:29 |
| MrPeepers310 | DaveCave: no it's not a panel its an actual file menu bar | 04:29 |
| CD | im a nerd | 04:29 |
| drag0n_ | im chatting it from it right now.. is there a way to make it accept static ips i give it? | 04:29 |
| CD | its just that with the software acceleration makes divx movies laggy as well as audio | 04:29 |
| drag0n_ | ipv4 disapears everytime i try to use static ips | 04:29 |
| unop | After_Math, you could use cat in this way. cat -> file #but cat will expect you to type things out, when you are finished typing press CTRL+D | 04:29 |
| CD | i was wondering, in a virtual environment, if linux performs better | 04:29 |
| luddite | my swap drive is not appearing in "cat /proc/swaps" even though i have created one via "sudo mkswap /dev/sda1" and ubpated fstab. Anything else i need to do? | 04:29 |
| complexity_ | I can get on here but for some reason I cant get to webpages in firefox, but I can in opera , weird. It is a defualt .mozilla directory | 04:29 |
| After_Math | unop, ok cool thanks | 04:30 |
| After_Math | unop, does cat >> file append also? | 04:30 |
| cmdbbq | haha victory is mine | 04:30 |
| unop | After_Math, yea, cat - >> file | 04:30 |
| mrzither | CD: sort of. Ubuntu will manage the smaller memory quite a bit better, and you might get some good video watching. But HD or anything like that is going to be horrible. | 04:30 |
| After_Math | unop, cool thanks | 04:30 |
| unop | After_Math, note the - there, it's important | 04:30 |
| CD | mrzither: these are just 700mb files | 04:30 |
| After_Math | unop, k | 04:31 |
| mrzither | CD: what's the res? | 04:31 |
| Miesco | My computer freezes randomly, how can I troubleshoot this?? | 04:31 |

| mrzither | CD: I would give it a shot. You really don't have anything to lose, and you'll probably like it better. | 04:32 |
| drag0n_ | no one ever installed ubuntu on a virtual pc here?! | 04:32 |
| mrzither | CD: I don't know, I've never used it before. | 04:32 |
| sfire | drag0n_: yes.. many times | 04:33 |
| CD | mrzither: check out joox.net | 04:33 |
| scunizi | drag0n_, yes.. in vbox | 04:33 |
| darkbishop | musikgoat:yeah.it was working fine i8,04...but now when i look at it at "top" its said 0 used.should i stop the swap and turn it back on again? | 04:33 |
| unop | ComradeMikhail, use a sound server like ESD or pulseaudio | 04:33 |
| musikgoat | darkbishop: check gparted | 04:33 |
| drag0n_ | scunizi: cool im using vbox too i have a question about eth0 | 04:33 |
| scunizi | drag0n_, k.. | 04:33 |
| CD | mrzither: has movies in divx format | 04:33 |
| mrzither | CD: it may. try installing firefox with the vlc plugin in ubuntu. | 04:33 |
| unop | !pulseaudio | ComradeMikhail | 04:33 |
| ubottu | ComradeMikhail: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 04:33 |
| CD | mrzither: can you tell me if you can watch this? | 04:33 |
| drag0n_ | scunizi: when i try to use static ip so i can ping the rest of my local network ipv4 disapears and i cant get online or ping the router | 04:33 |

| mrzither | CD: I'm under OS X right now | 04:34 |
| sfire | drag0n_: I setup the static IPs in the router using static DHCP | 04:34 |
| musikgoat | darkbishop: right click on linux-swap and see if you have the option to turn off swap, if so, its running, but you don't have enough used memory to need swap | 04:34 |
| CD | mrzither: oh lol | 04:34 |
| scunizi | drag0n_, are you also inputting the dns servers? | 04:34 |
| drag0n_ | scunizi: dhcp gives it 10.0.2.5 and i want it to b 192.168.1.5 instead | 04:34 |
| CD | mrzither: thanks for the help, ill go set it up now | 04:34 |
| drag0n_ | scunizi: in ubuntu? | 04:34 |
| mrzither | CD: okey dokey. Good luck. | 04:34 |
| drag0n_ | scunizi: or the router? | 04:35 |
| unop | ComradeMikhail, note that you need alsa to get sound working, you need pulse or esd to run atop alsa to multiplex audio -- see the howto on configuring pulse | 04:35 |
| ComradeMikhail | okay | 04:35 |
| CD | mrzither: is there any specific os that is better for media center type of stuff | 04:35 |
| rrittenhouse | I need some input on a new netbook. Acer Aspire One (AOA150-1750), or an eeepc 1000? | 04:35 |

| mattgyver83 | My fonts in firefox are not as crisp as they were before upgrading to 8.10, anyone with the same problem? | 04:35 |
| scunizi | drag0n_, yes.. when you go static on ubuntu you have to enter the dns servers.. the same ones being used in the router and on the host | 04:35 |
| drag0n_ | scunizi: yes, i do that as well | 04:35 |
| CD | mrzither: still check out joox.net, its awesome (dont worry, it doesnt have viruss) | 04:35 |
| sYsk | what is the command to add/remove a user from a group ? | 04:35 |
| musikgoat | darkbishop: unuse? right click properties, is it active? | 04:35 |
| erpo | I'm using 8.10. When I use the 177 nvidia driver, I have problems. When I use the 173 nvidia driver, I don't have problems. Where do I go to file a bug report? | 04:36 |
| mrzither | CD: Personally, I like Ubuntu for pretty much everything. OS X is pretty cool as well if you have a Mac. | 04:36 |
| drag0n_ | scunizi: when i try to pin my router 192.168.1.1 it just keeps telling me network unreachable | 04:36 |
| unop | sYsk, usermod | 04:36 |
| sfire | drag0n_: if its getting 10.0.2.5 from DHCP and it works then its using NAT networking.. | 04:36 |
| CD | mrzither: alright, thanks again | 04:36 |
| sfire | drag0n_: its probably not using the bridged mode | 04:36 |
| drag0n_ | sfire: but my router and the rest are using 192.168.1.* | 04:36 |
| sfire | drag0n_: read what I wrote again | 04:36 |
| scunizi | drag0n_, yea.. I just checked my intrepid install on vbox and it also has a wacky ip like yours.. | 04:36 |
| darkbishop | musikgoat: yup its active... and i did what u said.its still 0 use on my "top" command | 04:37 |
| Devin | um, can anyone help me, I have a broadcom wireless card, and I've tried numerous "fixes", but none seem to want to work | 04:37 |
| drag0n_ | sfire: so you mean its connected to a NAT network, but just not mine? | 04:37 |
| musikgoat | darkbishop: that just means swap is not needed yet, ubuntu chooses to use swap when its needed | 04:37 |
| sfire | if its using nat through the machine to get network access then it cannot be on the 192.168 network.. you probably have to put the ethernet interface in bridged mode | 04:37 |
| drag0n_ | scunizi: yeah, you can get online but you cant ping your network, right? | 04:37 |
| musikgoat | darkbishop: are you having a problem? | 04:37 |

| CD | mrzither: bittorrent is busy download mvoies ;) | 04:38 |
| CD | one more thing, does ubuntu have peerguardian built in? | 04:39 |
| scunizi | drag0n_, this looks like an issue for #vbox | 04:39 |
| darkbishop | cd: dont think so | 04:39 |
| mrzither | CD: Wow; that's pretty fast. Although, on BitTorrent, I can sometimes get 1.5m a sec | 04:39 |
| mrzither | lol | 04:39 |
| ComradeMikhail | okay: new problem. apparently Pulse Audio Device Chooser doesn't launch | 04:39 |
| drag0n_ | sfire: ok.. i need to switch off this virtual ubuntu to change the settings.. ill b back to give feedback | 04:39 |
| ComradeMikhail | oh wait nevermind, it goes up there, my bad | 04:39 |
| mytruehero | I'm trying to use a new package, 'git', but I after installing it with sudo apt-get install git, I keep getting "git: command not found" when I try to use it. I'm assuming it might not be in my path...? But how can I find out where the command lives? | 04:40 |
| scunizi | sfire, you using vmware server? vs. 1.x or 2.x beta? | 04:40 |
| CD | gotta go, tyfyi | 04:40 |
| Tetracomm | Ubuntu 8.10 won't shut down | 04:41 |
| Tetracomm | . | 04:41 |
| Tetracomm | The live cd didn't either. :( | 04:41 |
| sfire | scunizi: I've got both running (2 different machines) | 04:41 |
| Tetracomm | Why? | 04:41 |
| sfire | scunizi: I actually prefer 1.x | 04:41 |
| MrPeepers310 | hey where is the config file for desktop settings? | 04:41 |
| _tallpaul_ | The installer hangs after I hit "Forward" in the keyboard selection step. It goes into "infinite spinning blob" - I can still access the text consoles and there is an error message in /var/log/installer/debug about free space | 04:41 |
| scunizi | sfire, I liked 2.x until the latest build.. then I had issues.. | 04:41 |
| Tetracomm | What it does is show a cursor when shutting down, and it doesn't turn the computer off, help? | 04:41 |
| sfire | scunizi: come to #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 04:42 |
| scunizi | k | 04:42 |
| darkbishop | tetracomm: they still trying to fix it | 04:42 |
| unop | mytruehero, you need the git-core package | 04:42 |
| MrPeepers310 | hey where is the config file for desktop settings? | 04:42 |
| ComradeMikhail | okay, i believe i have pulse audio installed and mostly configured, but i do not see an option in System>Preferences>Sound that says Enable Software Sound Mixing | 04:43 |
| mytruehero | unop: That did it. Thanks for the help :) | 04:43 |
| unop | mytruehero, http://packages.ubuntu.com to search for files, packages, etc | 04:43 |
| ComradeMikhail | well i guess i'm gonna give it a shot, gotta restart the current session, so i'll brb if ihave problems | 04:43 |
| ComradeMikhail | if not, thanks for the help guys | 04:43 |
| darkbishop | tetracomm: for now use the power button.please refer to https://answers.lunchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/49908 | 04:44 |
| pentaside | I am very new to Ubuntu and was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on some "must have" apps/downloads? | 04:44 |
| MrPeepers310 | does anyone know how to make the panels hide? | 04:44 |
| mytruehero | unop: Thanks - I'll bookmark that for next time. | 04:44 |
| mrzither | pentaside: VLC | 04:44 |
| darkbishop | pentaside: vlc and openoffice 3 | 04:45 |
| MrIntegral | hello, does anyone know a good help channel on programming | 04:45 |
| prince_jammys | apt-get | 04:45 |
| rleoned | anyone know of the issue with Audigy 4 cards not letting sound come from rear out? | 04:45 |
| _tallpaul_ | Or is there a dedicated install help place that I should be looking? | 04:45 |
| _tallpaul_ | I'll go check the FAQ, but I've already done the obligatory googling without much luck, tried noacpi and noapm | 04:45 |
| mrzither | MrIntegral: #programming | 04:46 |
| Flannel | pentaside: A lot of that depends on what you're doing. Inkscape is a good vector editor that isn't installed by default. However, you can look at what the developers "recommend" by perusing the packages available to you via Synaptic. | 04:46 |
| Flannel | pentaside: the ones in 'main' (with the little ubuntu logo next to their name) are considered "better" (by someone) than the others. | 04:46 |
| pogztimz_ | how do i set up up a domain? | 04:47 |

| jzitt | I've tried to upgrade my Asus Eee 701 to Intrepid, but it seems to require more disk space than is possible. Meanwhile it has killed my WiFi, which makes the Eee effectively useless. I've tried disabling the Atheros drivers, and tried reenabling them. Still no WiFi.Any clues? | 04:49 |
| darkbishop | blak:do it need directX9??? | 04:49 |
| blak | yes... | 04:49 |
| luddite | my swap drive is not appearing in "cat /proc/swaps" even though i have created one via "sudo mkswap /dev/sda1" and ubpated fstab. Anything else i need to do? | 04:50 |
| darkbishop | blak:did u install dx9??? | 04:50 |
| Flannel | !swap | luddite | 04:50 |
| ubottu | luddite: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 04:50 |
| blak | i thought I did, not sure now. | 04:50 |

| qcjn | 04:54 | |
| keith1212131 | gparted has taken over 2 hours, and still hasn't finish resizing a partion | 04:54 |
| Flannel | Dabbill: If its a server, are you sure you want to upgrade, and not stick with LTS? | 04:54 |
| keith1212131 | nfts | 04:54 |
| keith1212131 | is this nomail | 04:54 |
| Flannel | Dabbill: What features of 8.10 are you looking forward to? | 04:54 |
| usser | Miesco_, hm whats the behaviour? does your keyboard freeze or the entire system? | 04:54 |
| === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin | ||
| darkbishop | Dabbill: what flannel said is correct.... alot of problem is accuring in 8.10 | 04:54 |
| Flannel | darkbishop: no, it has nothing to do with that really. | 04:55 |
| Dabbill | Flannel, well i shouldnt really say its a server..... its my secondary desktop PC that i run a web / FTP server on | 04:55 |
| JemJem | hello? | 04:55 |
| keith1212131 | is gparted suposed to take a long time to resize a nfts | 04:55 |
| darkbishop | oh eh | 04:55 |
| keith1212131 | 500g | 04:55 |
| Dabbill | darkbishop, Flannel didnt know they are still haveing lots of issues with 8.10 | 04:55 |
| keith1212131 | its been at least 2 hours | 04:55 |
| Flannel | Dabbill: Still, what are your reasons for upgrading? anything in particular? | 04:56 |
| frungicon | Hello all. I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, and now X11 won't display at 1680X1050 resolution. Anyone else have this problem? | 04:56 |
| JemJem | hiya... im new here | 04:56 |
| cyphase | does anyone know why ktorrent doesn't have the RSS plugin in intrepid? | 04:56 |
| Dabbill | Flannel, just always like to run the newest version is all | 04:56 |
| darkbishop | keith1212131: the bigger they are the slower it is. | 04:56 |
| Flannel | Dabbill: Always issues for a few weeks after release. | 04:56 |
| Miesco_ | usser: My computer completly freezes, cant move mouse, cap lock and num lock blink, just see what was on the screen before it froze, have to cold boot | 04:56 |
| Dabbill | Flannel, true | 04:56 |
| keith1212131 | but 2 Hours | 04:56 |
| chukaman | frungicon: what graphics card? | 04:56 |
| JemJem | HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO | 04:56 |
| ComradeMikhail | I would just like to say thank you to the person that helped me with PulseAudio (can't remember your name). It solved all my audio problems, even the one with the volume dying off way to fast. Thanks so much. | 04:56 |
| Dabbill | Flannel, tho i wet to 8.04 right at release and never had an issue | 04:56 |
| Flannel | Dabbill: There's nothign wrong with sticking with 8.04, especially considering its LTS. You'll be able to upgrade straight from 8.04 to 10.04, | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | JemJem: yes hello | 04:56 |
| Tetracomm | darkbishop: I can't believe it was released like that. So it has to crash every day then. | 04:57 |
| JemJem | hiya this is my first time | 04:57 |
| usser | Miesco_, hm doesnt sound like my symptoms at all. try installing linux-backports | 04:57 |
| Miesco_ | usser: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27/+bug/276990 | 04:57 |
| darkbishop | flannel:stupid questionbut what is LTS? | 04:57 |
| keith1212131 | another 30 minutes now | 04:57 |
| ComradeMikhail | dark: long time support | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | Dabill: to be honest there is hardly anything worth upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid Ibex | 04:57 |
| Dabbill | darkbishop, long term support | 04:57 |
| Flannel | !LTS | darkbishop | 04:57 |
| ubottu | darkbishop: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 04:57 |
| frungicon | chukaman: ATI Radeon 9600 | 04:57 |
| JemJem | fuck this im sick of being ignored | 04:57 |
| keith1212131 | can anyone explan to me a easy way to install beryl | 04:57 |
| Flannel | JemJem: Please watch your language | 04:57 |
| Dabbill | Flannel, i thought 8.10 will be LTS as well | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | Dabbill: to be honest there is hardly a good reason to upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid for most Ubunt users | 04:58 |
| keith1212131 | in 8.04 | 04:58 |
| Flannel | keith1212131: What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 04:58 |
| JemJem | why do people always treat me like i dont exist | 04:58 |
| Flannel | Dabbill: nope, just a regular release. | 04:58 |
| keith1212131 | 8.04 | 04:58 |
| Miesco_ | usser: Do you have the same card? | 04:58 |
| Dabbill | sebsebseb, okay | 04:58 |
| JemJem | flannel are you a mod? | 04:58 |
| Flannel | JemJem: This is a support channel, not a social channel. | 04:58 |
| Dabbill | Flannel, ahh okay | 04:58 |
| JemJem | lmfao very funny | 04:58 |
| lianimator | sebsebseb: I didn't expect anything much from intrepid but i wanted to upgrade, cuz Hardy was buggy, my wifi wouldn't work | 04:58 |
| Flannel | keith1212131: You already have compiz-fusion installed | 04:58 |
| ComradeMikhail | sebsebseb: bleeding edge, :P | 04:58 |
| mikebot | Anyone know how I can get a HD .mkv play without MASSIVE lag in ubuntu 8.04? | 04:58 |

| lianimator | sebsebseb: my sound from my laptop is working again in Ibex, working like NEVER BEFORE | 04:58 |
| JemJem | what ever | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | ComradeMikhail: Intrepid is hardly bleeding edget , try other distros if you want that for example Sidux | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | edge | 04:59 |
| Flannel | JemJem: If you're looking for a conversation, I suggest you look elsewhere. If you need support, feel free to ask your question. | 04:59 |
| lianimator | JemJem: go to #ubuntu-offtop | 04:59 |
| ComradeMikhail | lianimator: exactly.. 8.10 solved a lot of things with my laptop | 04:59 |
| lianimator | JemJem: go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:59 |
| usser | Miesco_, i have 3945 | 04:59 |
| darkbishop | lunch time.i talk 2 u all later. chowww... | 04:59 |

| keith1212131 | Flannel: How do i do the cube desktop | 04:59 |
| chukaman | frungicon: gimme one second | 04:59 |

| lordhelmet | hey all. in ubuntu, it won't shutdown with my power button. i have the power options set to shutdown on pushing the power button, but nothing happens. if i click the red button and select shutdown, it shuts down....wtf | 04:59 |
| e\ectro_ | I tried to create a bridged interface for virtualbox and now my machine is having problems. Everytime I reboot, I cannot get a shell unless i drop to single user mode. what would be causing this? | 04:59 |
| JemJem | ok im gonna ask a question.. | 04:59 |
| Flannel | seravitae: Does it give you an error? | 04:59 |
| frungicon | JemJem, that is a commonly established IRC etiquette, don't take it personally | 04:59 |
| Atomic_UE | in 8.04 there used to be a GUI for the hosts file in System > Admin > Network ....in 8.10 where did that go? | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: well that's nice my GDM does not display right, but oh well just GDM, but at times it would in hady display right on this PC | 04:59 |
| Miesco_ | usser: What do I do with backports? | 05:00 |
| frungicon | chukaman: np | 05:00 |
| seravitae | Flannel - nope. package installs fine. ive been having this issue all day with other packages too. | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | Iiaminator: other then that Intrepid is fine | 05:00 |
| JemJem | how many tablets do i take to die? | 05:00 |
| seravitae | i tried to remove it before and then when i reinstall it, it just "doesnt". | 05:00 |
| LF|Irssi_ | seen that coming | 05:00 |
| Flannel | seravitae: Have you previously installed? ah. right. | 05:00 |
| seravitae | this is happening with the egroupware package too. | 05:00 |
| Conglomo | Atomic_UE: I was wondering the same thing. I ended up right clicking on the network icon in the status bar.. | 05:00 |
| Flannel | seravitae: What you need to do is purge the package, not just remove it. This will remove config files as well as just the binary files. | 05:00 |
| seravitae | it was messing up but a full apt-get remove and purge didnt fix it. | 05:00 |
| lianimator | !tab | sebsebseb | 05:00 |
| ubottu | sebsebseb: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 05:00 |
| Miesco_ | usser: linux-backport-modules? | 05:00 |
| usser | Miesco_, backports are modules from upstream there are fixes there for that kind of quirks sometimes | 05:00 |
| usser | Miesco_, yes | 05:00 |
| lianimator | I did a fresh install | 05:01 |
| Flannel | seravitae: Right now it assumes you've modified the config files on purpose (removing them), so it doesn't reinstall them. | 05:01 |
| Flannel | seravitae: so, aptitude purge apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: well consdiering I am a touch typeist it is usauley faster to type them | 05:01 |
| Miesco_ | usser: So once I install this package, how do I use the backport modules? | 05:01 |
| darkbishop | how do i remove old version file from my system? | 05:01 |
| lianimator | sebsebseb: so am i, but using tab is way faster. | 05:01 |
| keith1212131 | There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly. | 05:01 |
| keith1212131 | um | 05:01 |
| phpstar | after upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, login screen fails to come :( | 05:01 |
| lianimator | sebsebseb: and avoids typos | 05:01 |
| Flannel | seravitae: then reinstall, and you'll have the config files again. Most of the config files are actually in apache2.2-common, so that's 'really' the only package you need, but its a good idea to get all of the main ones. | 05:01 |
| phpstar | anyone knows y | 05:02 |
| luddite | Flannel : my swap wont remain after reboot | 05:02 |
| keith1212131 | flannel it spit some code at me | 05:02 |
| Atomic_UE | Conglomo, i have a system > admin > network in 8.10 but it only does wifi/vpn network stuff, it no longer does hosts file or gateways etc | 05:02 |
| theorie | if i have a Q6600, can i download the AMD64 architecture? | 05:02 |
| lianimator | phpstar: is it a blank black screen? | 05:02 |
| phpstar | yes theorie | 05:02 |
| theorie | phpstar: thank you | 05:02 |
| seravitae | Flannel - okay thanks, that worked | 05:02 |
| Flannel | keith1212131: You have to install a compiz config manager (either of the two packageS), then run it, and you can enable the cube instead of the panes. | 05:02 |
| phpstar | no lianmonitar | 05:02 |
| phpstar | tty is coming | 05:02 |
| usser | Miesco_, you dont. once installed just restart and newer modules will be loaded if it fixes stuff for you then you're in luck | 05:02 |
| Miesco_ | usser: Okay, did it fix it for you? | 05:03 |
| seravitae | Flannel - does that mean for egroupware i have to purge every single package? and the dependancies? | 05:03 |
| Flannel | seravitae: groupware will be similar. You can figure out which package belongs to the config files by using dpkg -S /path/to/file | 05:03 |
| lordhelmet | the shutdown option on the ask me screen doesn't work. ideas? known bug? | 05:03 |

| sebsebseb | phpstar: no working GDM after Intrepid update? | 05:03 |
| lianimator | phpstar: xorg is not used much anymore. they're using HAL | 05:03 |

| phpstar | ubuntu | 05:04 |

| sebsebseb | phpstar: Intrepid has a competly new and different xorg from what hardy has, and it lacks suppourt for older hardware | 05:04 |
| lordhelmet | chukaman: i can hit the red power button and select shutdown and it goes right away, but the ask me menu, or when i tell it to just shutdown with the power button does nothing | 05:04 |

| jj_galvez | does anyone know if there is a way to make a folder executable like apple dies with their .app folders, basically you could put everything into a single folder and run a program by double clicking on the folder | 06:03 |
| lianimator | vbman11: then it's compiz. | 06:04 |
| rfxcasey | hey | 06:04 |
| Flannel | MrNaz`: You might try asking in #xubuntu | 06:04 |
| MrNaz` | Flannel i just did... this is a more lively channel, and i didnt think there'd be a difference between the two, hence i asked here first | 06:04 |
| vbman11 | lianimator: well yea, do you know how to fix it? | 06:04 |
| \Kira | xubuntu is dead | 06:04 |
| histo | jj_galvez: why not just double click on the executable? | 06:04 |
| Singer2 | anyone have any experience with bluetooth mouse and ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| rfxcasey | has anyone tried 8.10 yet | 06:05 |
| histo | jj_galvez: you could even makeit appear like a folder. | 06:05 |
| runpain2 | howdo i nautlis to open floder with root command | 06:05 |
| lianimator | vbman11: what exactly isn't working? | 06:05 |
| RyanPrior | runpain2: What specifically do you want to do? | 06:05 |
| vbman11 | lianimator: the window manager | 06:05 |
| histo | runpain2: gksudo nautilus in a terminal | 06:05 |
| RyanPrior | histo: That's a recipe for disaster. | 06:06 |
| J-_ | What group manages mounted drives? | 06:06 |
| lianimator | vbman11: which is? are you talking about the titlebars, etc? | 06:06 |
| Thorsten11 | \Kira: thats the remove we did that unistalled cups, it should reinstall the missing files. to see if its running i think ps -e will show cups in the list | 06:06 |
| runpain2 | thats it i frogot thanks histo | 06:06 |
| kandjar | can anyone help me with the ssh issue? | 06:06 |
| histo | RyanPrior: whys that? thats what he wanted to do. | 06:06 |
| Flannel | MrNaz`: gnome sessions and xfce sessions are different. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111128 might be relevant (albeit old) | 06:06 |
| RyanPrior | runpain2: I suggest that you do not run nautilus as root. | 06:06 |
| jj_galvez | histo: thinking more of a simple way to distribute apps, if everything you need is in a single folder with the executable, there's no reason for the user to see all the support files - just thinking outloud really | 06:06 |
| vbman11 | lianimator: yea, the window decorations | 06:06 |
| histo | RyanPrior: its no differen then using the term | 06:06 |
| RyanPrior | histo: What could he possibly want to do with a root nautilus session. | 06:06 |
| lianimator | vbman11: they don't show, or they look horrible? | 06:06 |
| RyanPrior | histo: Nautilus makes stuff easy to move around, delete, etc - the terminal makes you spell it all out. | 06:07 |
| rfxcasey | I can't get my router to talk to my network card | 06:07 |
| histo | RyanPrior: edit a file possibly in /etc/ who knows its his system thats what they want to do. | 06:07 |
| vbman11 | lianimator: they don't show | 06:07 |
| J-_ | What group manages mounted drives? | 06:07 |
| RyanPrior | histo: He should maybe launch an editor as root, but not nautilus for pete's sake. | 06:07 |
| paul68 | RyanPrior: it happens to me also that I create a file under root and can't access them under my normal account then I find it handy that I can access this file in nautilus under root | 06:07 |
| MrNaz` | Flannel thanks... i just got the answer, and it was damn obvious i'm rather ashamed i didnt jsut see it in the settings section heh | 06:08 |
| RyanPrior | paul68: In that case you can make a copy of the file and then delete root's copy. | 06:08 |
| lianimator | vbman11: window decorations enabled in compiz? | 06:08 |
| \Kira | Thorsten11: I didn't see it there, but I might of missed it due to the like hundred kismet entrys. I havnt rebooted yet, so that might be it | 06:08 |
| rfxcasey | can someone say my name so I can see if the sound is working right | 06:08 |
| RyanPrior | paul68: The system is designed so that you shouldn't have to use nautilus to do system management. | 06:08 |
| lianimator | vbman11: try running gtk-window-decorator | 06:08 |
| prince_jammys | rfxcasey: | 06:08 |
| vbman11 | lianimator: it's not doing anything | 06:09 |
| paul68 | RyanPrior: very true but since I'm still learning I use it as an escape route if it happens | 06:09 |
| vbman11 | lianimator: (in the term) | 06:09 |
| Wicked | hello all. ive set up nfs between 2 ubuntu machines..i can get it to mount...but i cant add files from the client..says permission denied. | 06:09 |
| shirish | hi all, I'm getting a segmentation fault in one of the apps, any idea how can I locate the source of the segmentation fault? | 06:10 |
| lianimator | vbman11: try Alt+F2 | 06:10 |
| lianimator | vbman11: also try metacity --replace | 06:10 |
| RyanPrior | paul68: Escape routes which make it easy for you to screw up your entire system are not wise ones to use, much less teach to others. | 06:10 |
| vbman11 | lianimator: that is the exact same thing as running it in the term, you just don't get output | 06:11 |
| Nikke | after i used syslinux on my mp3 player to install ubuntu from it i cant remove songs and such, its only readable | 06:11 |
| rfxcasey | prince_jammys, can you do that again | 06:11 |
| RyanPrior | shirish: Recompile the binary with debugging symbols and use gdb to find where it's faulting. | 06:11 |
| prince_jammys | rfxcasey: | 06:11 |
| shirish | RyanPrior: thanx | 06:11 |

| rdw200161 | fallore: wow, this problem just won't go away for you :( | 06:12 |
| lianimator | vbman11: then when you run compiz, the titlebar is gone. | 06:12 |
| prince_jammys | rfxcasey: what is it, a sound notifier? | 06:12 |
| paul68 | RyanPrior: I'm not teaching others to do so I know I have a lot to learn and basicly this happens to me when I'm remote connected to my server and created after maintenance a directory which shouldn't have created under root. I will never use nautilus on system files under root | 06:12 |
| vbman11 | lianimator: yes, infact im using it right now | 06:12 |
| fallore | rdw200161: nope :[ | 06:13 |

| RyanPrior | rfxcasey: So one box gets an IP but the other doesn't - perhaps ask in #networking, unless you've got some reason to be sure it's a NetworkManager problem. | 06:30 |
| prince_jammys | Coldhak: either synaptic or gnome-app-install | 06:30 |
| xsacha | is there some issue with intel cards in ubuntu 8.10? i thought they had best drivers | 06:30 |

| RyanPrior | chx: I lied, it's actually ##networking -- but yes, it exists. | 06:31 |
| judgen | xsacha: I dont think there is an isssue with intel gfx. | 06:31 |
| kandjar | does "pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root" means he managed to get connected??? | 06:31 |
| Coldhak | prince_jammys, thanks, it was gnome-app-install | 06:32 |

| r00tintheb0x | xsacha, can you get to a command line? | 06:33 |
| xsacha | yes it is dual boot with vista | 06:33 |
| r00tintheb0x | !vista | xsacha | 06:33 |
| ubottu | xsacha: vista is a recent version of Microsoft Windows. Discussion on Windows related topics is available in ##windows. General issues on moving from Windows to Ubuntu is convered in the wiki guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows | 06:34 |

| xsacha | judgen: when the starting music sounds.. | 06:34 |
| r00tintheb0x | xsacha, you need to check out /var/log/X.0.log | 06:34 |
| r00tintheb0x | i believe it is. | 06:34 |
| rfxcasey | RyanPrior, I will try | 06:34 |
| xsacha | alright so pastebin the Xorg.0.log? | 06:34 |
| xsacha | is it called X.0.log now? | 06:34 |
| r00tintheb0x | /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 06:34 |

| ortreehugger | rdw200161: cedega costs money doesnt it? is there anyway to get steam working for free? | 06:35 |
| judgen | xsacha: if you could get to the terminal then you can reconfigure the xserver. Its probably just a flawed xorg.conf file | 06:35 |
| r00tintheb0x | You need to go through that, that will tell you the problem. | 06:35 |

| XB23 | php isnt a browsable file its a interpreater | 08:09 |

| damaltor | hello everybody. are there any news about nvidia geforce4 drivers and ubuntu 8.10? i tried to set it up yesterday on a clean disk, but it still only runs with nv drivers. the nvidia module cannot be built. | 08:09 |
| generalsnus | on boot up screen, i can choose recovery and normal boot... so no graphical :/ | 08:09 |
| streenz | if I have an AMD64 processor but only 2 gigs of ram, what is the benefit to running the 64 bit ubuntu vs the 32 bit one? (i have no plans to upgrade to > 4GB ram) | 08:10 |
| dovel | generalsnus: what happens when you boot up as normal and let it go to the normal log in screen? | 08:10 |
| Aeosynth | WIG: I'm using Intrepid Ibex and that option isn't there; that's I did before | 08:11 |
| WIGGMPk | streenz: this is debatable, using a true 64bit application on a true 64bit operating system it will run faster, because you can process more then 32bits at a time. but the difference is mostly unnoticeable to the average person. | 08:11 |
| cishpix | XB23: yes, I know it but I can open url localhost/phpmyadmin. | 08:11 |
| J-_ | I guess what I said was too much to read. :( | 08:11 |
| Aeosynth | gnome panel isn't one of the startup programs listed | 08:11 |
| generalsnus | when i boot normal, it just stops and hangs at: checking battery -ok- .. at that point i need to ctrl+alt+f1 to get console | 08:12 |
| msshams | i use gnome and i want to write my university booklets in my laptop. do you any suggest that what software is suitable for me? | 08:12 |
| streenz | WIGGMPk - is there a downside to using the 64bit? | 08:12 |
| dovel | generalsnus: try sudo apt-get remove fglrx | 08:12 |
| WIGGMPk | streenz: if you dont have over 3GB of RAM you probably wont benefit from using the amd64 build. Although the linux community (ubuntu mostly) offers 64bit application ports, it will be more difficult to find things built for the 64bit arch. So sometimes you might have to build from source. | 08:12 |
| WIGGMPk | streenz: was getting to that.. hehe =( | 08:12 |
| XB23 | cishpix: localhost/phpMyAmin | 08:13 |
| XB23 | cishpix: localhost/phpMyAdmin | 08:13 |
| XB23 | try that, caps sensative | 08:13 |
| streenz | WIGGMPk - okay thanks.. me being nearer the "total noob" end of the Linux user spectrum, I shall stick to 32bit :-P | 08:13 |
| Guest93560 | Its killing me man I can't figure out how to change KDE fonts in Ubuntu 8.10. I've tried both System Settings and Qtconfig | 08:14 |
| generalsnus | if i do startx, i get various errors such as: fatal server error / firegl_setsuspendresumestate failed -9 / screeninit failed..etc etc | 08:14 |
| XshoppyX | stick with gnome | 08:14 |
| generalsnus | dovel ok a sec | 08:14 |
| WIGGMPk | streenz: but you could use that as a pro or a con. by compiling from source it will teach you a bit about making packages and building. it depends how much leg work you wanna do. If your a "total noob" I would recommend the 32bit for a better Ubuntu experience. and later move to the 64 bit if you want to play around. | 08:14 |
| cishpix | XB23: the error is "The requested URL /phpMyAdmin/ was not found on this server." | 08:14 |
| XshoppyX | I would say use 64 but to get the most out of your machine | 08:15 |
| Guest93560 | Amarok is a the best player though, but the font is killing me | 08:15 |
| cishpix | XB23: if I open localhost/phpmyadmin, there is a dialog box about download file | 08:15 |

| Aeosynth | wig: I'm using AWN too, that's why I want to disable it. I'm not sure killing the gnome-panel on startup would work either because it's set to reload. Any way to just change it to stop reloading? | 08:21 |
| poplar | wgrant: may i ask where you came up with that rule by chance? | 08:21 |
| wgrant | poplar: Common sense. | 08:21 |
| dovel | generalsnus: if that doesn't work, type locate fglrx and apt-get remove any packages with that name (the ones in /var/cache/apt/archives will give you the package names) | 08:22 |

| WIGGMPk | streenz: to dumb it down Gutsy was the release before Hardy Heron; which is an LTS release (Long Term Support) known for its stability and you could say hesitant with upgrades in favor of stability. Intrepid Ibex is the newest verison of Ubuntu, The Ubuntu OS has a 6 month release cycle, meaning every 6 months there will be a newer version of Ubuntu, including the newest features linux has to offer (often reffered to as "bleedin | 08:33 |

| J-_ | How can I automount /media/disk/? Everything time I go to mount manuallly, it says, " mount: can't find /media/disk/ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" | 08:58 |
| seravitae | add the entry to /etc/fstab | 08:59 |
| ziroday | J-_: what command are you running? | 08:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | J-_: for "mount /media/disk" on its own to work, it has to be in fstab | 08:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | J-_: to mount manually you have to specify more options (fstype, devnode) | 08:59 |
| deever | ziroday: ok, but this seems more for developers...mb i'll take the package for gutsy | 09:00 |

| c0mp13371331337 | belim, just tried vboxgtk, it seems kinda buggy. If you go with vbox, I'd stick with the QT front-end. VMWare is also good, but I hate having to keep track of my serial, and usually end up having to register for a new one every time I install. :-P | 09:09 |

| BiosElement | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, Yes it is an answer. It's a No, it cannot be done. So your answer is solved. | 09:48 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | ... | 09:48 |
| elkbuntu | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, we cannot just conjure a way. | 09:49 |
| streenz | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK - why dont you make a new partition and install it to that? | 09:49 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | could anyone actually explain why it's not possible | 09:49 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: I must have missed the question, what did you ask? | 09:49 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | because so far nobody has | 09:49 |
| anth | because you touch yourself at night fsckfsckfsck | 09:49 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | if its possible to install ubuntu on vmware and copy the files to a real partition on my system | 09:49 |
| BiosElement | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, Because it's an operating system. Not a program. It has to work with devices and it won't work inside another OS. Get over it. | 09:49 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | ... | 09:50 |
| XB23 | can i boot ubuntu with skipping checking quotas? | 09:50 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: actually, yes it is possible. | 09:50 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | youre not even getting the question bioselement | 09:50 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | i dont want to BOOT it from within my running distro | 09:50 |
| streenz | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK - you want a second distro on the save drive as your first? | 09:50 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: but not block for block. you need to firstly, tar up everything on the OS excluding /dev /proc and /sys into a single large tar. This needs to be done through a rescue CD (to remove media) | 09:50 |
| BiosElement | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, Here's your question you stated a minute ago. "how do i install ubuntu within another distro" | 09:50 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | same drive, yes, same partition, no | 09:50 |
| anth | could someone just give me a straight forward yes or no answer to the question: is it possible to get my wifi working without madwifi.org? | 09:50 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: the recovery is somewhat similar. Use a recovery CD and setup the target partitions and filesystems. Ideally to make the guest. Then unrar to / | 09:51 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: yuou'll be missing a loader in the MBR, you'll need to rectify that. | 09:51 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | already have grub installed | 09:51 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: are you talking about having it running along-side another linux distro at the *same time*? | 09:51 |
| XB23 | well its not been installed right | 09:51 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | no | 09:52 |
| XB23 | why not just use virtualization FSCK_FSCK_FSCK? | 09:52 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | just install it | 09:52 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: if so, you can but its silly. Half of it wont work, and it'll nmeed to be chrooted. | 09:52 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: for dual-boot? | 09:52 |
| wallan | volume is very low in my new ibex install - anyone have the answer? | 09:52 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | yeah | 09:52 |
| Johnm | wallan: yeah. open up the "foward" mixer in your mixer settings. turn that one up too ;) | 09:52 |
| BiosElement | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, Why not just install it direct to the partition? Your question is flawed and you don't need to install it "in another distro". You just install it to the partition and it'll set up grub for you quick and easy. | 09:52 |
| Dyresen | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: why not just install it in a normal way? Takes like 20 minutes? | 09:53 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: then follow the instruction I gave earlier and change the grub.conf to include both on the /boot your current grub install references | 09:53 |
| Johnm | but you'll need to continue to manually manage grub.conf if you dont chainload it into another grub instance | 09:53 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | BiosElement: because i don't want my mbr overwritten and I don't want to reboot just yet | 09:53 |
| Petester | Vecam: Basically i am having some trouble with my wireless adapter | 09:53 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: rebooting is absolutely inevitable. | 09:53 |
| Petester | Vecam: I got it working yesterday, but today it is not working | 09:53 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | Johnm: to use my new ubuntu installation, yes. | 09:54 |
| wallan | Johnm: don't see a 'foward' mixer... i'll enable everything and see what happens | 09:54 |
| Flimm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: try lubi, http://lubi.sourceforge.net , I haven't tried it myself, I've heard things about it | 09:54 |
| anth | petester, what wireless adapter is it? | 09:54 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | Flimm: is that like wubi but for linux? | 09:54 |

| wallan | Johnm: it was 'surrond' for me. thanks a lot! :) | 09:55 |
| Petester | yup, it can't find networks | 09:55 |
| Petester | i followed this guide yesterday: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5673157&postcount=9 | 09:55 |
| Johnm | wallan: yeah it might be something else, but I found master wasn't controlling all output channels since one of the "child" channels was set lower anyway. | 09:55 |
| LF|Irssi | what's the force unmount command? | 09:55 |
| Johnm | wallan: np :) | 09:55 |
| kooothor_ | hey, I'm a bit confused here, what is the file to edit to add a module to load at boot time ? | 09:55 |
| anth | but what i think applies to both of us is that madwifi.org is down the the files we need arern't available | 09:55 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | Johnm: so cp -r /* from vmware ubuntu to real partition won't work? | 09:55 |
| Johnm | LF|Irssi: unmount -f, but dont use it unless you really need to ;) | 09:55 |
| anth | basically we're fucked | 09:55 |
| ksbalaji | while booting, some messages are flashed -then normal boot splash shows up. Immediately, instead of the usual visual, my screen shows texts until I login. How to set this right? Where do I view the boot log? | 09:55 |
| LF|Irssi | Johnm: i tried that no luck | 09:55 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: you need to ensure you keep all permissions and exclude /dev /proc and /sys | 09:56 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: just tarring it is significantly less hassle :) | 09:56 |
| Dyresen | ksbalaji: type dmesg after loggin in. | 09:56 |
| Johnm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: its also a valid backup | 09:56 |
| Flimm | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: yeah, isn't that what you want? | 09:56 |
| kandjar | visik7: I tried something slightly different with another user (on the server side) didnt work either | 09:56 |
| rodolfo | somebody please tell me how I can paste a file to /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/places using a command...? | 09:56 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | Flimm: pretty much | 09:56 |
| Johnm | LF|Irssi: what is it you're trying to do? | 09:56 |
| Johnm | LF|Irssi: generally, it goes to a lot of hassle to make sure you dont "accidentally" corrupt your filesystem | 09:57 |
| LF|Irssi | Johnm: im trying to permantly mount my external hdd | 09:57 |
| Johnm | LF|Irssi: does udev not automatically mount it for you everytime it see's it as being attached? | 09:57 |
| Petester | can anybody help..? | 09:57 |
| kooothor_ | hey, I'm a bit confused here, what is the file to edit to add a module to load at boot time ? | 09:57 |
| Johnm | kooothor_: /etc/modules | 09:58 |
| kooothor_ | thx Johnm | 09:58 |
| LF|Irssi | Johnm: it gets auto-mounted but every time i reboot the computer it gets mounted in a different spot each time, which is bad because i have auto backups on a cron going to that external hdd | 09:58 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | kooothor_:it's understandable that you're confused. ubuntu has .conf files all over the place. install arch, it's way easier to mantain. vim /etc/rc.conf is all you need | 09:58 |
| Johnm | LF|Irssi: it would be best to write a little udev rule to symlink it somewhere memorable | 09:58 |
| kooothor_ | so what is the modules.conf file ? | 09:58 |
| LF|Irssi | Johnm: how would i go about that? | 09:59 |
| Vecam | Petester, you installed a new driver ? | 09:59 |
| kooothor_ | and why my module present in /etc/modules doesn't load at boot ?? | 09:59 |

| CoRnJuLiOx | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, do i need to use a crossover cable to connect the two PCs? i don't have one on hand. | 10:22 |
| ValentineXX | BUGabundo_work: my movies does not run fine on my ubuntu they stuck and move stuck and move at totem player | 10:23 |
| chris062689 | Also running Ubuntu 8.10 on my main Pc, works great! :) | 10:23 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | cornjuliox: are both computers connected to the router | 10:23 |
| chris062689 | I just hope I don't miss the games not supported with WINE. :'( | 10:23 |
| chris062689 | I'm looking at YOU bioshock! | 10:23 |
| rexwin | dpkg --get-selections | grep php gives the installed php packages. how do i get the files installed by say php5-common packge? | 10:23 |
| chris062689 | Totem sucks at playing videos (at least for me. I prefer VLC) | 10:23 |
| lakitu_ | ok, i resized a partition with gparted, & then installed Ubuntu on a new partition, & now i can't mount / recognize my partition, & testdisk says the file system is damaged. how do i recover this data? | 10:24 |
| lvlefisto | BUGabundo_work: my mistake, if you use a simlink it will be replaced. So you have to mkdir .recently-used.xbel insted | 10:24 |
| BUGabundo_work | chris062689: I love VLC it sound doesn't work right for me :( | 10:24 |
| lakitu_ | is 'write'ing in testdisk risky? | 10:24 |
| kandjar | Johnm: I did a grep ssh * in the folder | 10:24 |
| chris062689 | Did the new VLC and OpenOffice 3 hit the backports yet? | 10:24 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, heres my layout. I've got a router on the other side of the house and this PC that i'm on has two ethernet cards, one of which is connected to the router via a 30 meter long ethernet cable. i don't have another 30 meter cable, so i'd like to hook my ubuntu laptop to this computer and share the connection. | 10:24 |
| Oprtz | jim_p | 10:24 |
| kandjar | Johnm: and the main file showing up is auth.log, but it doesnt contain anything useful | 10:24 |
| jms32 | why raedon drivers is not included in ubuntu 8.10? ( | 10:24 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | cornjuliox: so you want to connect the ubuntu pc directly to the computer? is the router connected to the modem or is it your windows pc? | 10:26 |
| legend2440 | jms32: i used these instructions to get fglrx drivers working for Radeon 9600 http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide#The_open_source_drivers | 10:26 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, so do you think you can help me? | 10:26 |
| ValentineXX | BUGabundo_work: can i run all exe windows softwares using wine at ubuntu? | 10:26 |
| chris062689 | ValentineXX: Not all, only software that WINE supports | 10:26 |
| BUGabundo_work | not ALL ValentineXX | 10:27 |
| jeroen__ | hi all i have a question how to install joomla if u already installed Mysql and apache2? | 10:27 |
| chris062689 | ValentineXX: What exactly are you trying to run? | 10:27 |
| BUGabundo_work | but last week there were some FREE codes from code masters | 10:27 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: as far as I understand it, your problem is that rebooting with c+a+d doesn't function when you're using firefox. is this the issue? | 10:27 |
| jms32 | legend2440, thank i will try | 10:27 |
| BUGabundo_work | and their CLOSED software is an improved version of wine | 10:27 |
| olivuser | ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE MNU BACK? | 10:27 |
| BUGabundo_work | supposed to run more apps ValentineXX | 10:27 |
| === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik | ||
| ValentineXX | BUGabundo_work: chris062689: there a company launching PC chat version for windows and i am buntu user | 10:27 |
| chris062689 | BUGabundo_work: I always thought that they were old and outdated | 10:27 |
| BUGabundo_work | ValentineXX: check www.winehq.com to be sure | 10:27 |
| lakitu_ | olivuser: the GRUB menu? google "reinstall GRUB" | 10:28 |
| ValentineXX | BUGabundo_work: ok | 10:28 |
| chris062689 | ValentineXX: Only way then is to try and see, WORST CASE you could always run it inside of Virtualbox. | 10:28 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, No, I think I was not being clear. I do not press ctrl+al+del anytime. I do that only after the black screen appears, just so I can cleanly reboot the computer instead of holding the power button. | 10:28 |
| zimnyx | Johnm: it's sad but sshd has very limited debug options. I can't start it with -d mode because further connections may not be possible. | 10:28 |
| chris062689 | !virtualbox | 10:28 |
| ubottu | 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 | 10:28 |
| ValentineXX | chris062689: what is virtualbox :-s | 10:28 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, but the black screen appears with no apparent reason, there is no consistent behavior that leads to it, although I've noticed that *someties* it appears after I press Ctrl+W in firefox | 10:29 |
| ValentineXX | chris062689: i think i am x64 user | 10:29 |
| vlt | Hello. Where can I find the md5sums for the ubuntu dvd images? | 10:29 |

| Malformation | in the repo's are the md5 sums | 10:29 |
| chris062689 | It just virtualizes 32 bit operating systems | 10:29 |
| ValentineXX | chris062689: ok | 10:29 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: look at /var/log for errors. run dmesg and look for errors | 10:29 |

| abid-linux | hi | 10:32 |
| abid-linux | how are u all | 10:32 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | cornjuliox: using lan you shouldn't have to configure ubuntu at all for it to work out. just make sure your windows box is running internet gateway | 10:32 |
| ksbalaji | !apparmor | 10:32 |
| ubottu | For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 10:32 |

| vlt | Hello. Where can I find the md5sums for the ubuntu dvd images? I tried http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ but there are no DVD images, and no md5sum files in http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ ... | 10:34 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, none of those files are inside /var/log. I do have the output of 'dmesg'. Would it be useufl if I paste it to the bin so that you can take a look? | 10:34 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | cornjuliox: go to control panel, network connections, setup home/office network wizzard | 10:34 |

| bluee | hello | 10:34 |
| bluee | can anyone help me? | 10:34 |
| abid-linux | any body know abt usage or msn in ubuntu | 10:35 |
| msl | suspect43: I've always liked amaroK | 10:35 |
| abid-linux | is amsn is working? or not | 10:35 |
| bluee | i need to install ubuntu server | 10:35 |
| johndoe | CoRnJuLiOx, that depends on your ethernet cards | 10:35 |
| bluee | i got the copy from the website of ubuntu | 10:35 |
| suspect43 | msl: i | 10:35 |
| bluee | i installed it | 10:35 |
| bluee | but | 10:35 |
| johndoe | bluee, go download the iso and burn it to a cd / dvd | 10:35 |
| suspect43 | msl: i'll take a look. any others? | 10:35 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | johndoe, any way to tell if it'll work without a crossover? | 10:35 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | cornjuliox: you need a lan cable. you mentioned your windows machine has 2 network cards, i assume one of them is currently unused. your best bet is to share the connection via lan | 10:35 |
| bluee | johndoe i did | 10:35 |
| bluee | johndoe i installed it on pc.. | 10:35 |
| suspect43 | also, anyway to get my itunes ratings, short of writing a python script? | 10:35 |
| bluee | johndoe but its not a GUI | 10:36 |
| abid-linux | any body use the new distribution of ubuntu??? | 10:36 |
| bluee | johndoe how can i make it GUI? | 10:36 |
| msl | suspect43: I haven't used the Gnome one forever, but it is called Rhythmbox... | 10:36 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, ok. i'm gonna try that right now. | 10:36 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: look at the time tags, compare to the timeframe when your box crashes | 10:36 |
| johndoe | CoRnJuLiOx, your cards schould tell yo if they support auto negotiation or not, if they do, you can use a standart cable | 10:36 |
| suspect43 | msl: thanks | 10:36 |
| suspect43 | if i want to try out kde (i have the default gnome install), which packages do i need? | 10:37 |
| johndoe | bluee, why do you want an ubuntu server with a gui? | 10:37 |

| axyelp | just like we have media player classic in windowsbox | 10:37 |
| jms32 | axyelp, mplayer+splayer | 10:37 |

| bluee | i mean 2008 | 10:38 |
| johndoe | bluee, perhaps you dont want a server, but a desktop instead, with some server functions installed after | 10:38 |
| abid-linux | no .. im just installing it now. thanks dracnoc. | 10:38 |
| abid-linux | drac i hve a question that i hve istalled amsn but its not working | 10:38 |

| abid-linux | amsn is looks like a microscoft msn | 10:39 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: a better option would me to do a man grep on console. after youre familar with grep, do a grep search for error on /var/log | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Pest: explain the problem | 10:39 |
| ikonia | bluee: what do you want to do ? | 10:40 |
| axyelp | @pest!! | 10:40 |

| definitely | How to turn off that stupid CPU Limiting in Ubuntu ? | 10:40 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: grep searches for patterns within files, so itll do the work for you (by work i mean reading tens if not hundreds of log files) | 10:40 |
| johndoe | bluee, commandline is your friend | 10:40 |
| Pest | axyelp: download and install the NTFS Configuration Tool and try to mount the drive........... but now when i try to open it it sow massage " You are not privileged to mount the volume '*******'." | 10:40 |
| DracNoc | abid-linux: it's asking to do a ./configure? Looks like you're installing from the source files. Ubuntu has a precompiled version in the repos, no need for a ./configure | 10:40 |
| bluee | ikonia i installed and setuped ubuntu server .. i want to have GUI for it | 10:40 |
| ikonia | Pest: what tool is this | 10:40 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, the command 'grep error /var/log' outputs nothing | 10:40 |
| ikonia | bluee: use the desktop install | 10:40 |
| ikonia | bluee: are you using this on home user or enterprise kit / | 10:41 |
| definitely | bluee: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 10:41 |
| axyelp | ?? | 10:41 |
| abid-linux | but its asking.. | 10:41 |
| abid-linux | then what id do | 10:41 |
| ikonia | bluee: the desktop install is setup with a gui fully itnergrated, and is designed for home user hardware, it will make an excellent server | 10:41 |
| ikonia | intergrated I mean | 10:41 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: thats not the correct syntax for grep. read man grep | 10:41 |
| Pest | ikonia: NTFS Configuration tool....i sow it in one site while i was looking for help in google | 10:41 |
| bluee | ikonia johndoe ikonia device not accepting address 2 , error -71? how i can solve it.. sorry im begiiner i need alil help | 10:41 |

| ikonia | bluee: install the desktop version, you'll find it easier | 10:42 |
| DracNoc | abid-linux: try this, bring up a terminal and try the following: sudo apt-get install amsn | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Pest: we can't support 3rd party tools, even less so when we don't know what they are | 10:42 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, got it: 'grep -r error /var/log' and i get a bunch of lines | 10:42 |
| abid-linux | ok | 10:42 |
| DracNoc | adid-linux: if there's an error, copy it it http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and return the URL here | 10:42 |
| streenz | noob question ... when reading manuals "ie: man grep" how do you close it and get back to the prompt without closin the terminal and startin a new one | 10:42 |
| DracNoc | abid-linux: if there's an error, copy it it http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and return the URL here | 10:42 |
| bluee | ikonia but the manger asked me to install ubuntu server | 10:42 |

| ikonia | bluee speak to your manager and explain that the desktop version is an EXCELLENT server and is designed for home PC/hardware | 10:43 |
| ValentineXX | abid-linux: can i know that from which country you are? | 10:43 |

| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | cornjuliox: after setting it up it asks you to reboot. do so. | 10:48 |
| bluee | dulak what is ur advice? do u think kernel will make a big trouble? | 10:48 |
| DracNoc | abid-linux, if you are upgrading now, then that would explain why you can't install anything. You can only have one package manager running, and it is doing the upgrade. | 10:48 |
| Pest | ikonia: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows | 10:48 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: that is an X server error. we're almost there. look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 10:48 |
| ValentineXX | streenz: ok :D | 10:49 |
| Shadow_X | what command do i use to config the network? like manual ip, router info, etc? | 10:49 |
| abid-linux | DracNoc: ok .. | 10:49 |
| DracNoc | abid-linux, you will have to wait until your upgrade is complete before you install amsn | 10:49 |
| abid-linux | DracNoc: im wating if its complete then i continue to install oter pakage | 10:49 |
| dulak | bluee: I doubt it, I run gui on a couple of my server installs, the kernel doesn't have much effect on the gui | 10:49 |

| Arendtsen | bazhang: that works | 10:54 |
| bluee | ikonia yes im testing it on personal pc before i install it on server | 10:54 |
| ikonia | blackZero saying any one is pointless, if they didn't see the question anyone won't tell them it, it they don't know the question saying anyone won't make them know it | 10:54 |

| vlt | legend2440: Thank you. | 10:59 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | cornjuliox: 2 things. if it shows "cable unplugged" it's a hardware problem. and the other thing is entirely up to windows, so http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/ | 11:00 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I'm not sure if I've done xorg.conf. Is there a way to check? Is this a thing in wn hich you get a blue screen and select some optpions? | 11:00 |
| Arendtsen | fun part is that my wpa_suppcant_log says the following: | 11:00 |
| Arendtsen | CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys | 11:00 |
| Arendtsen | No network configuration found for the current AP | 11:00 |
| DracNoc | blackZero, you should find the package "mtp-tools" in Synaptic. It seems to provide support for Amarok. You may need to reinstall Amarok again, but it seems to work well. I have both Amarok and mtp-tools installed, and I have MTP support in my Media Devices. | 11:00 |
| Arendtsen | Because when I do a tcpdump and tails the syslog file I can see that the nic is getting a ip | 11:00 |
| bazhang | Arendtsen, if this is ibex it may be a bug | 11:01 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: by doing xorg.conf i mean properly configuring it. nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:01 |
| blackZero | DracNoc: ok let me chk..thx :) | 11:01 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: if you look at the xorg log file it shows warnings as (WW) and errors as (EE). grep for both | 11:02 |
| Arendtsen | bazhang: 8.10... can't remember the name :) | 11:03 |
| Shadow_X_ | why would i be getting a network unreachable error when i have the config set right? | 11:03 |
| bazhang | Arendtsen, yup that is intrepid ibex | 11:04 |
| bazhang | Shadow_X_, doing updates? what version of ubuntu | 11:04 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I have no errors and this warnings: http://pastebin.ca/1243911 | 11:04 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, and a lot of similar warnings like those in lines 5-9 | 11:04 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: normally someone would look at your xorg.conf for errors. but i dont do that. go to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg to learn how to configure it. it'd be wise to run with the vesa driver, then ati propietary, ati open, etc. to troubleshoot. maybe it's one particular driver giving you issues | 11:04 |
| Shadow_X_ | bazhang: 8.10 fresh install of server | 11:04 |
| Arendtsen | bazhang: thought so... Okay... | 11:05 |
| Arendtsen | Guess I'll try to reinstall the network manager | 11:05 |
| bazhang | Shadow_X_, are you on that box using irc now? | 11:05 |

| Shadow_X_ | correct bazhang | 11:06 |
| Ubuntu_Gamma_bev | After reboot screen stays black | 11:06 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: after looking at your pastebin id suggest tweaking the drivers. unfortunately i dont know much about ati drivers. go to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI | 11:06 |
| bazhang | Shadow_X_, what does sudo dhclient eth0 return | 11:06 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, so I use a proproetary driver for the AI. I remember I had to enable that at some point. Do you think that's it? | 11:06 |
| amt2 | ATI* | 11:06 |
| Dark_Fire | hey | 11:07 |
| Dark_Fire_ | hey[ | 11:07 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: yes. it's definately an issue with your driver/xorg.conf. but i wouldn't give up 3d acceleration just yet. go to the ati wiki site i just posted and look for workarounds/tweaks | 11:07 |
| Flimm | Nvmd, it's a bug, you can find the report and the workaround at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/284298 | 11:08 |
| amt2 | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, that looks quite complicated... I woulnd't really trust myself making any changes to important files... | 11:08 |

| bazhang | Shadow_X_, did you try to ping a site | 11:09 |
| Shadow_X_ | bazhang: ping google.com returnes "unknown host google.com" | 11:09 |
| payo | ok, so i edited my resolv.conf file, but when i rebooted it changed, is there any way i can make it stay to what i want it to? | 11:10 |
| bazhang | Shadow_X_, this is through a router or directly to dsl modem | 11:10 |
| ikonia | payo don't use dhcp for your dns | 11:10 |
| Shadow_X_ | school router | 11:10 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | amt2: the section troubleshooting in that wiki only touches xorg.conf, so if you screw up something youll boot into xorg safemode where you can easily revert the changes | 11:10 |
| Ubuntu_Gamma_bev | help please: after each reboot of ubuntu 804, screen stays black .. | 11:10 |

| KingOfDos|lap | i've got 3 TV cards at my server, but can't find a "nice" way to record/play over the network (there is no X on the server with the 3 TV cards) | 11:28 |
| ziroday | KingOfDos|lap: mythtv, there is even a special ubuntu based distro for it called mythbuntu | 11:28 |
| KingOfDos|lap | ziroday: is mythbuntu working on a "server"? | 11:28 |
| KingOfDos|lap | or does it require X? | 11:28 |
| legend2440 | amt2: can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 11:29 |

| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 12:05 |
| imperfec1- | I think i just didnt have 'move window' checked ;) | 12:05 |
| imperfec1- | it works now | 12:05 |
| heinrich | ops.. | 12:05 |
| imperfec1- | nevermind ;) | 12:05 |
| ziroday | imperfec1-: you can restart compiz by typing compiz --replace in the terminal | 12:05 |
| lnc12 | sja_, no but I had same problem with my camera in OpenSUSE I just find a driver | 12:05 |
| mm_work | !headless | 12:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about headless | 12:05 |
| madsj | how do I connect to a wireless netwrk ? running wpa_suppliant -Ieth1 /etc/wpa_suppliant/wireless.conf gives me errors (properly because of a missing driver) | 12:06 |
| sja_ | lnc12, for camera eye312 or other ? for other cameras - many drivars - for eye312 - nothing :( | 12:06 |
| madsj | wpa_suppliant was also given some other options, though | 12:06 |
| Graphics | madsj, try with wicd | 12:06 |
| arpad | any reason why 'sudo mount -o umask=000,uid=1000,gid=46 /dev/sdb1 /media/foo' might always mount with permissions 'rwx------'? | 12:06 |
| lnc12 | who company makes it ? | 12:07 |
| ziroday | Petester: type in sudo rmmod ath9k, it seems ath5k still started | 12:07 |

| arpad | anything other than umask i can look at? | 12:09 |
| ziroday | Petester: try do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 12:09 |
| Petester | okay | 12:09 |
| lakitu | hey, got a partition's file system damaged by gparted resize (it's an ntfs) - is testdisk benign, i.e. failing won't worsen the problem? | 12:10 |
| Petester | It says ignoring unknown interface eth0 = eth0 | 12:10 |
| Petester | but otherwise, still the same | 12:10 |
| ziroday | Petester: bummer, well that was my shot in the dark. Sorry | 12:11 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:12 |
| J-_ | ziroday: Wow, okay. I've got it mounted again. Here's the ls -l /dev/sdb1, "brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 2008-11-03 07:00 /dev/sdb1" Does that look right? | 12:12 |

| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: you mean ia64 and amd64? | 12:13 |
| ziroday | J-_: nevermind, you can try sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/disk if you want | 12:13 |
| lakitu | jarussi: yw | 12:13 |
| mm_work | rc _is_ autoexec for debian/ubuntu :) | 12:13 |
| Petester | i am not quite sure | 12:13 |
| qowao | thx mm_work and kop_regr | 12:13 |
| rokom | sisi | 12:13 |
| lakitu | anyone know, re testdisk? | 12:14 |
| qowao | hey and is there a way to auto hide the start bar and the task bar?? | 12:14 |
| Petester | but my friend, whose driver was not working in the normal version got it to work on the "amd" verison | 12:14 |
| qowao | takes too much space | 12:14 |
| lakitu | is it benign if it fails? | 12:14 |
| J-_ | ziroday: I did that already. That's how I mounted it. :) | 12:14 |
| * J-_ googles some more | 12:14 | |
| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: normaly you are using x64 or x86_64 (amd64), you are not using ia64 | 12:14 |
| qowao | whats the definition of 'benign' | 12:14 |
| mm_work | qowao: I'd love to answer that but I can't get into my own system, X won't start, thats why im here :p | 12:14 |
| ziroday | J-_: oh right, great! :D | 12:14 |
| qowao | damn sorry mm_work | 12:14 |
| kop_regr | qowao, right-click -> properties -> check auto-hide | 12:14 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: amd64 is also for intel 64bit like core2duo | 12:14 |
| lakitu | qowao: safe, non-harming | 12:14 |
| Petester | i see... i have a dual core AMD processor, which one should i use? | 12:14 |
| qowao | haha ok | 12:15 |
| qowao | works thx | 12:15 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: x86 or x86_64 | 12:15 |
| J-_ | ziroday: Not particularly what I want though. I want it to auto-mount. hehehe. Though, I should try that right now. | 12:15 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: depends on your ram-size | 12:15 |
| mm_work | Anyone running a Headless Ubuntu 8.10 64bit desktop ? | 12:15 |
| sfears | can anyone point me in the right direction for support with 8.10 & nvidia driver selection? | 12:15 |
| Petester | 2G | 12:15 |
| heinrich | is the difference in ubuntu x86 and x86_64 that big? | 12:15 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: then use x86 | 12:15 |
| heinrich | I've tried both, didn't notice any difference=) | 12:16 |
| DIFH-iceroot | heinrich: some software is hard to find for 64bit (e.g. drivers) | 12:16 |
| qowao | hey kop_regr it isnt really hidden! | 12:16 |
| Petester | so desktop-i386? | 12:16 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: yes | 12:16 |
| qowao | there is some little part lurking around | 12:16 |
| Petester | alright, thanks | 12:16 |
| heinrich | Ah, that's true. | 12:16 |
| qowao | and it takes to long to unhide kop_regr ! | 12:16 |
| jgb | can debpartial-mirror create DVD-size directories like debpartial can? I can't find debpartial in our local repo | 12:16 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: i386 == x86 and amd64= x86_64 | 12:16 |
| heinrich | DIFH-iceroot Ah, true. Just like in the windows xp/vista 64 | 12:17 |
| co | ad | 12:17 |
| Petester | ah, alright, thanks =) | 12:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | heinrich: yes, and i am correct there are problems with flash in 64bit version, but i am not sure | 12:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | heinrich: if i am correct... | 12:17 |
| heinrich | DIFH-iceroot wouldn't surprise me=) | 12:17 |
| Petester | hmm, but i have a question, how come my friend got his ethernet card working on amd64 but not i386? | 12:18 |
| kop_regr | qowao, if you want to change that, it's gonna be more difficult: do you know gconf-editor ? | 12:18 |
| qowao | yes kop_regr found it yesterday | 12:18 |
| heinrich | DIFH-iceroot *sigh* I wonder if I'll ever get this graphics card for this craptop to work=P | 12:18 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Petester: dont know what your friend did | 12:18 |
| qowao | im there kop_regr | 12:18 |
| Petester | oh... alright =( | 12:18 |
| kop_regr | so you can start gconf-editor: Alt-F2 -> gconf-editor [Enter] | 12:19 |
| qowao | did that kop_regr | 12:19 |
| sfears | when i try to "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it does not ask me anything about video driver selection? was the video card selection replaced by something else in intrepid?? | 12:19 |
| kop_regr | qowao, then expand apps -> panel -> global | 12:19 |
| qowao | ok , is this the registry kop_regr ? | 12:20 |
| heinrich | I've tried to install my graphics card on my nx9420 with x1600 for about a week now. I've reinstalled ubuntu about 3 times now. Read about 30 different methods of doing it and they all go to ruin. | 12:20 |
| kop_regr | qowao, yep something like that. scary ? :-) | 12:20 |

| vatzec | Hey lads, I've got a really strange problem - before upgrading to intrepid, hardy used to fire up Totem after connecting to a FTP server. While this was OK (yet annoying) because I just had to close it, after upgrading to intrepid the same happens with nautilus's dir bookmarks. | 12:30 |

| lnc12 | SJA if you still on just search on you camera the driver linux on google you will find some drivers see you all | 12:32 |
| sfears | i'm not using a mac book.. but i have had it happen on two different PC's.. windows always worked fine, but if i was running linux they would overheat | 12:33 |
| kop_regr | Dabbu, i don't have access to it now to guide you :-( sorry. but i think it includes help. but it's a command line tool | 12:33 |
| dubi | sfears: thanks, i thought about it, whenever i had to look for the tab of a program ^_^ | 12:33 |

While this was OK (yet annoying) because I just had to close it, after upgrading to intrepid the same happens with nautilus's dir bookmarks.") | 12:42 |
| qowao | hey there is tis entry guys: /dev/sda1 on /media/disk type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) | 12:42 |
| kop_regr | franz-koch, for joining a domain, I think that likewise-open-gui is the best option. Samba is complicated | 12:42 |
| qowao | how could i make it permament? | 12:42 |
| qowao | what is the actual mount command? | 12:42 |
| qowao | i should use ntfs-3g i guess? | 12:42 |
| qowao | wanna put it in the rc.local | 12:43 |
| Kartagis | ikonia, the certificate needed to connect to our wpa2 connection | 12:43 |
| vatzec | qowao: sudo nano /etc/fstab | 12:43 |
| ikonia | Kartagis how is the certificate offered ? | 12:43 |
| Pici | !fstab | qowao this would be the proper way | 12:43 |
| ubottu | qowao this would be the proper way: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 12:43 |
| Kartagis | ikonia, i think in .cer format? | 12:43 |
| qowao | ah cool vatzec and pic | 12:43 |
| Kartagis | no question marks | 12:43 |
| qowao | Pici* | 12:43 |
| vatzec | :) | 12:43 |
| nickbooker | dovel: Where do I find out what driver is being used? xorg.conf is as good as non-existent | 12:44 |
| Tcl | how i can get the tcl lib to my PC? | 12:44 |
| ikonia | Kartagis errrr are you sure thats fore your wireless connection | 12:44 |
| franz-koch | kop_regr: I've tried likewise gui - but only get errors | 12:44 |
| Kartagis | ikonia, let me see | 12:44 |
| ikonia | Tcl: install the tcl-devel package | 12:44 |
| Pici | Tcl: tcl-dev actually ;) | 12:44 |

| nickbooker | dovel: Anyway the suspend/hibernate issue is with the wireless card. | 12:45 |
| ikonia | umanx: thats interesting, I'm not sure what help apackage thats generated in | 12:45 |
| ikonia | umanx: it looks variable driven | 12:45 |
| gluonman | I need help creating a symlink for /usr/src/linux. | 12:46 |
| dovel | nickbooker: are there any bugs in launchpad associated with the problem? | 12:46 |
| ikonia | umanx: isn't there a "release" file in /etc have a look at what that says | 12:46 |
| qowao | hey vatzec pici why is there a UUID=blah instead of /dev/stuff in the fstab!?? | 12:46 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: ln -s /usr/src/linux /des/tin/ation | 12:46 |
| franz-koch | @kop_regr: I'm not sure what to enter in the field "organizational unit" - or let's say I'm not sure why the joining exactly fails. | 12:46 |
| nickbooker | dovel: There wasn't last time I checked (Friday). I'll have another look... | 12:46 |
| tobbe__ | anyone here that have installed ibex on a macbook 5.1 (aluminum) please msg me | 12:47 |
| nickbooker | dovel: Should I search specifically for the laptop, for the wireless driver or for the wireless card model? | 12:47 |
| Pici | qowao: Because /dev names can sometimes change depending on how the computer boots. uuids are unique per drive. | 12:47 |
| Pici | !uuid | qowao | 12:47 |
| ubottu | qowao: 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) | 12:47 |
| kop_regr | franz-koch, it very much depends on your active directory layout. but it may be left empty | 12:47 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, someone gave me a similar direction, but I failed to understand the destination. What I tried before didn't fix the problem. | 12:47 |
| loeppel | tobbe__, i think you will enounter problems with the onboard nvidia chip?! | 12:47 |
| hagabaka | i just found out about apt-p2p | 12:47 |
| dovel | nickbooker: just enter suspend and the wireless card, then try the driver | 12:48 |
| qowao | perfect Pici will use those then | 12:48 |
| nickbooker | dovel: Thanks. | 12:48 |
| oohelp | Hi! I'm using some ajax web-based irc, because I don't have an irc client installed atm on my windows machine. I have a question: How can you delete recent files/documents history in Open Office? I can't find the feature so I think I'll switch to AbiWord and Gnumerics. Any ideas? Could the Ubuntu team suggest that feature to Open Office. I tried, but no reply. | 12:48 |
| dovel | nickbooder: found something? | 12:48 |
| dovel | nickbooker: found something? | 12:48 |
| jenda | help :) I just upgraded to the Ibex and it apparently changed the keysims my keyboard sends into the computer - the Super key no longer shifts into the third and fourth layers (as it would using xmodmap) and the up arrow became print-screen! :D | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | oohelp, i would check the Openoffice channel and website/docs - i imagine theres a way to do it. | 12:49 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: what do you mean by failed to understand the destination | 12:49 |
| tobbe__ | loeppel: install went fine, i followed the wiki page to get applesmc, keyboard backlight etc, working, now i am running into heat problems, i'd like to increase my fan speeds, lm-sensors sees it, but i cannot change the RPM, any ideas? | 12:49 |
| ikonia | tobbe__ don't try to use rpm's on ubuntu | 12:49 |
| qowao | hey Pici as options in the fstab can i just copy the options that 'mount' showed me? (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) | 12:49 |
| tobbe__ | rpm = rotations per minute | 12:49 |
| tobbe__ | fan speed | 12:50 |
| tobbe__ | :) | 12:50 |
| franz-koch | kop_regar: ok - then I'll try a bit longer and ask my admin to have a look at the AD-Servers logfiles if he can see some detailed error messages or something. Do you have an Idea why I can't see any shared folders on the server or on any other windows machine in the network? | 12:50 |
| Pici | qowao: yes. | 12:50 |
| ikonia | tobbe__: sorry | 12:50 |
| qowao | perfect thx Pici ! | 12:50 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I forget the destination I was given yesterday, but whatever the case is, the command didn't work. | 12:50 |
| qowao | Pici: files system just 'ntfs' right | 12:50 |
| loeppel | tobbe__, nope, sorry, but sounds interesting, i don't own a macbook, so i can't help you ;-) | 12:50 |
| qowao | thx | 12:50 |
| tobbe__ | is there a macbook ubuntu irc channel ? | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | oohelp, from a quick google at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=65992 - there seems tobe some macros made that do just that.. or you can manually delete some cache type file. | 12:50 |
| Pici | qowao: yes | 12:50 |
| ikonia | tobbe__ not specific | 12:50 |
| jenda | 12:50 | |
| kop_regr | franz-koch, does the server ask you for domain login and password when you connect? normally, you don't need to be a member of the domain to access | 12:51 |

| kououken | Has anyone used firestarter with wireless in Ubuntu? | 12:51 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: do you have allot of extra kernels? | 12:51 |
| franz-koch | kop_regr: no, it doesn't ask. Might be because I use a AD username as ubuntu user? | 12:51 |
| susscorfa | there are several | 12:51 |
| nickbooker | dovel: Something similar (#272169), but in my case the machine does come back, but wifi simply doesn't connect. Attempting to connect wireless then messes up the next shutdown or suspend attempt. | 12:51 |
| AzizLight | hi everybody | 12:52 |
| sriramoman | susscorfa, i'm doing in a regular exp job, so there are files which have spaces as well as those who don't. | 12:52 |
| susscorfa | ls -alnh shows about 5 versions of every thing danbhfive | 12:52 |
| kop_regr | franz-koch, should not be a problem. how do you connect to the server? | 12:52 |
| oohelp | It's weird the history deletion hasn't been yet acquired and the macro doesn't work. I've read comments | 12:52 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I'm trying to use module-assistant to build drivers for my webcam. I don't really know anything about the process. I just know it's telling me that it cannot create the symlink for /usr/src/linux | 12:52 |
| Q-FUNK | howdy. am I the only one for whom gtk2 color changes are no longer applied when selecting a theme in gnome-appearance capplet, since intrepid? | 12:52 |

| qowao | hey what is the autostart equivalent in ubuntu? i wanna run y have to worry about it, the default being NTFS. Linux however, being built on a world of of open source and differing opinions, is not limited in this way and so the user should have an understanding of what a file system is, and how it affects the computer. | 12:52 |

| qowao | i wanna run conky, a desktop widget | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | oohelp, some of the later comments mentiont hat the macro does work.. but Im not using OOo so i cant test it. Good luck. and id say ask in the Openoffice channel. could be its going to be in OOO3 | 12:53 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: does it tell you where it's trying to create the symlink? have you tried running the program as root? | 12:53 |
| AzizLight | I have a samsung screen from an old desktop pc (last year) and it just doesnt work with ubuntu. I tried it on a mac and on a pc with windows and it works fine but with ubuntu it justrefuses to work! is that normal? | 12:53 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I am running the program using sudo, and it's telling me that it's trying to create the symlink in /usr/src/linux | 12:53 |
| nickbooker | dovel: Does /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d look like the right place? Mentioned in another mildly-related bug report. | 12:53 |
| kop_regr | franz-koch, did you try with Places -> Connect to server. from there you can choose "Windows share" | 12:54 |
| franz-koch | kop_regr: I haven't tried "connect to server" because I didn't know the exact name of the shared folder | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, using DVI or VGA conector? You using a KVM switch or anything else weird? | 12:54 |
| oohelp | kk thanks. I just think I'm not the only one who doesn't like every other user in the comp using a shared account to see what documents have been opened... Like "surprise party.rtf" would be a bummer :D | 12:54 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, since it's not creating the symlink successfully, I'm assuming this to be the reason gspca and qc-usb are failing to build and install. | 12:54 |
| elbermungster | Hi, I installed Intrepid RC a few days back, and when the update came for the theme to be changed to the stable release' theme, it didn't change. | 12:54 |
| dubi | hello | 12:54 |
| AzizLight | dr_willis: I tried both dvi and vga and it doesnt work | 12:54 |
| susscorfa | danbhfive: http://pastebin.ca/1243952 | 12:54 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, thats very weird.. ive always had 100% success with my various dvi monitors. | 12:54 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: do cd /usr/src/linux | 12:55 |
| qowao | hey what is the autostart equivalent in ubuntu, i wanna run conky, a desktop widget | 12:55 |
| elbermungster | Any explanation? | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | !autostart | qowao | 12:55 |

For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 12:55 |
| AzizLight | dr_willis: the screen isnt even detected so I cant even see what's happening | 12:55 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, alright. | 12:55 |

| nice_ | how to convert doc to pdf format | 12:55 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: and how big is the partition? | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, Hmm.. you dont have 2 monitors attatched do you? or a monitor + tv out? | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, what video card anyway? | 12:55 |
| dovel | nickbooker: that's a directory of various network related files | 12:56 |

| qowao | !grub | 12:56 |

| AzizLight | dr_willis: and no I only have one screen | 12:56 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: does the dir exist | 12:56 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, the directory does exist. | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, im out of ideas then.. Unless you need to move the thing to the other video output on the cards.. but i imagine you tried that.. | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, if the thing has a tv out.. id be curious if that worked.. | 12:57 |
| nickbooker | dovel: Looks like it'll do what I want. Thanks for your search term suggestions -- they made all the difference. | 12:57 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: do man grep, do grep search for /usr/src/linux in /var/log | 12:57 |
| susscorfa | danbhfive: the update manager asks for 10 mb extra or zo | 12:58 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: is the output gui or console? the one telling you it cant symlink? | 12:58 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: well, I would say the obvious solution is to get rid of some kernels. But its kinda crazy, that it needs more than 100mb to upgrade | 12:58 |
| elbermungster | !changethemes | 12:58 |
| ubottu | To change gnome themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy. Kubuntu themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu. Xubuntu users should /msg ubottu xfce-themes | 12:58 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, the output is console. | 12:58 |
| jenda | I just upgraded to Ibex and it seems to have assigned different keycodes to my keys. I have managed to fix some of this by changing my default xmodmap file. Any ideas how this could have occured or could be fixed? | 12:59 |
| franz-koch | kop_regr: tried several cominations now - but all failed :( | 12:59 |
| susscorfa | is it save to just move some *.bak files to an other partition ? | 12:59 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: ok so the program tells you the dir its creating it in, but not the destination file. its hard to debug this | 12:59 |
| AzizLight | dr_willis: I lost hope a long time ago. Im here to get a suggestion, I want to buy a new screen and I will use it with vga output. Can you suggest something with a good quality/price ratio that will work for sure with a gefore 7600 please? | 12:59 |
| nice_ | i would like to know how to convert document into pdf format can some one tell me? | 12:59 |
| susscorfa | danbhfive: is it save to just move some *.bak files to an other partition ? | 12:59 |
| franz-koch | kop_regr: I had no problems on Suse when I tried that - but I'd rather prefer Ubuntu ;) | 13:00 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, hold on. Let me try to run it again and copy/paste the exact error. | 13:00 |
| atul | How to resolve this error "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" | 13:00 |
| kop_regr | franz-koch, another option: when you are in Places->Network, type ctrl-L. a location bar will appear. you can type smb://servername is it better ? | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, i would suggest using DVI and not using vga at all. dvi give smuch better output. Ive had no issues with my Samsung 226BW | 13:00 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | franz-koch ubuntu is a joke. a really unfunny one. | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, any new monitor - i would be sure to get DVI and HDMI input for it also.. to keep up with what will be on most new video cards | 13:01 |
| vatzec | alright, my problem (pasting it for others' reference; "Hey lads, I've got a really strange problem - before upgrading to intrepid, hardy used to fire up Totem after connecting to a FTP server. While this was OK (yet annoying) because I just had to close it, after upgrading to intrepid the same happens with nautilus's dir bookmarks.") turned out to be really trivial - all I had to do was right-clicking a directory, selecting Properties and selecting which | 13:01 |
| vatzec | see ya! :) | 13:01 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, http://paste.ubuntu.com/66733/ | 13:01 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: I dunno. I mean, they are .bak. so backups? You could run a quick md5sum on them to double check if you like | 13:01 |
| === _polto__ is now known as _polto_ | ||
| AzizLight | dr_willis: in my experience vga gets detected automatically and dvi doesnt, besides, I dont play games, I dont watch dvd on ubuntu and ... I dont play games so the quality is not THAT important to me | 13:02 |
| J-_ | How can I change folders on a external drive of both user and group recursively so I can only let root remove, paste, move files and still have the regular user be able to view, copy to different spot, and open files. Would, sudo chown -R root:root /media/external do it? | 13:02 |
| kante | hey everyone! | 13:02 |
| franz-koch | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: erm - sorry - don't get it. Are you serious? | 13:02 |
| AzizLight | dr_willis: but I dont have a lot of experiece so I could be totally wrong | 13:02 |
| qowao | hey kop_regr i changed the panel settings in the gconf-editor and even rebooted but it does not work yet | 13:02 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, as you can see, this happens after trying to issue the Prepare command for module-assistant. | 13:02 |
| qowao | the settings are still there when i look into it but it does not take affect | 13:02 |
| susscorfa | danbhfive: the check sume comes out differently | 13:02 |
| qowao | what could this be | 13:03 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, it also happens when trying to build gspca from gspca-source. | 13:03 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: same here | 13:03 |
| kante | I need little help. I have a terminal opened and I need such thing, that would automatically repeat certain command in certain period of time. Is that possible? | 13:03 |
| franz-koch | kop_regr: I only get a blank page when I directly connect to the server - no shares :( | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, my experience is the exact opposite.. Ive had machines with vga get the res's totally wroong.. and dvi does.. DVI will give better text/font/crisper output.. thats not just for 'games' :) | 13:03 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: have you succesfully built another app from source? | 13:03 |
| kop_regr | franz-koch, the strange thing is that i does not ask you for a login/password | 13:03 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | franz-koch: ubuntu is to windows what windows is to windows | 13:03 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, not in this way. | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, ive takken the same monitor and hooked it to the same pc only my video card has 1 dvi and 1 vga out.. the dvi text was much more readable. and most every linux disrto got the res right from the start. | 13:04 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I just recently upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid. | 13:04 |
| kante | How to make the terminal to repeat certain command in a certain time period? | 13:04 |
| kop_regr | qowao, which field did you change? | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | kante, the 'watch' command | 13:04 |
| AzizLight | dr_willis: I will try again to connect the screen tonight and ill come back but I have absolutely no hope | 13:04 |
| gluonman | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, actually that's inaccurate. I was using Hardy, but I did a fresh install from CD to Intrepid. | 13:04 |
| kante | dr_willis: thank you! | 13:04 |
| qowao | kop_regr: disabled animation, changed delay times, and minimum size to 0 | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | AzizLight, if it has a tv out - i would be curious if that worked on the thing.. I cant imagine why both outputs would not work under at least the console for ubuntu | 13:05 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: another obvious solution would be to just move some of the kernels that you aren't using to another partition, temporarily. I mean, you can only use one at a time. So, just make sure to leave the one you are running for the upgrade... | 13:05 |
| chris062689 | hello. | 13:05 |
| chris062689 | What's up? | 13:05 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: well i have no idea. if it cant create the link that most likely because youre missing files. check to see if you have proper devel packages. some of them arent pulled in automatically as dependancies | 13:05 |
| susscorfa | danbhfive: how to find out which one is running? | 13:06 |
| franz-koch | kop_regr: yea - that's strange. I also wondered. I think I'll boot up the live-CD and see if it's working there. Thanks for your help. Greetings from Germany - bye | 13:06 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | gluonman: that's most likely | 13:06 |

| AzizLight | dr_willis: earlier this summer I tried with an old flat screen with only vga output and it worked like a charm... btw is there know compatibility issues with the Samsung SyncMaster 961BW because I think that's the one I have | 13:07 |

| dr_willis | jjdiamond, with some machine/bios/motherboards.. hibernate/suspend just dosent work properly.. sadly.. Its possible a newer kernel/updates may correct the issue | 13:10 |
| jenda | Any tips? It's pretty hard to work without an up arrow :( | 13:11 |
| ktemkin | but I don't know how to get x-server to use the new driver, what with the new HAL system and all | 13:11 |

| MaT-dg1 | Can I collect info about crashes and submit them to help developers find bugs? | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | jjdiamond, some makers just dont follow the same standards. thus often hibernate/suspend has issues. :( I will note that Hibernate/suspend FINALLY started working with 8.10 for my laptop | 13:14 |
| economyx | juncong: i can't get it to play audio out. i'm pretty sure my mic works fine though | 13:14 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | jjdiamond: then you havent googled at all. the first step to troubleshoot suspend is to read dmesg output | 13:14 |
| jjdiamond | dr_willis: i've come to that conclusion. what about the display sleep? | 13:14 |
| cabrini | How can I run a shell script on a usb drive automatically on a machine booting from a live cd? | 13:14 |
| cs02rm0 | are the forums down? | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | jjdiamond, also irecall that the swap partition needed to be the size of your ram, for hibernate/suspend to work (or so ive heard) it may be its just trying to suspend and crashing. | 13:14 |
| economyx | juncong: in other words, when i make the test call, i hear nothing | 13:15 |
| mm_work | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: i tried forcing hz/resolutions in xorg.conf but regardless, it keeps bugging me with no detected devices | 13:15 |

| dr_willis | cabrini, ive seen where ubuntu asks if you want to run somting when accessing a usb drive.. but ive never seen a way to let it auto-run such things. | 13:16 |
| jenda | Aha - the release notes say I need to convert my xmodmap file. How do I do that? | 13:16 |
| ktemkin | mm_work, 8.10 no longer uses the xorg.conf as the end-all-say-all for devices | 13:16 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: FYI, I think ubuntu is working on some sort of system that will keep track of when a kernel works, and thus be more intelligent about removing old ones | 13:16 |
| jjdiamond | dr_willis: could be. i'm a noob. | 13:16 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: you want to remove the older ones | 13:16 |
| mm_work | ktemkin: could you lead me in the right direction for avoiding my ubuntu 8.10 stalling on that "no devices detected" windows when booting without a monitor? | 13:16 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | mm_work: then it boots. im not sure why would you want x installed on a headless. remove it? whats the point on having x on a headless? :) | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | jjdiamond, ive had so many disasters with hibernate/suspend under windows. i rarey even try it :) plus my laptop boots real fast | 13:17 |

| ktemkin | I'm not actually sure | 13:17 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: are you upgrading to intrepid? | 13:17 |
| mm_work | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: yes its insecure, but not when i dont have anything attached to the machine other than power and LAn | 13:17 |
| susscorfa | danbhfive: yes | 13:17 |
| kop_regr | mm_work, why don't you install ubuntu server and then add the graphical apps manually ? | 13:18 |
| ktemkin | well | 13:18 |
| ktemkin | I could see a few reasons to have x on headless | 13:18 |
| susscorfa | danbhfive: anyway should i report a bug some where ? | 13:18 |
| makaveli12 | omg | 13:18 |
| makaveli12 | gimme some attention, guys.. :S | 13:18 |
| danbhfive | susscorfa: try using cruft cleaner after you upgrade, and get everything back in place. You know!!!! the upgrade might be trying to install like 5 or 6 kernels, and thats why its runnings out of space! Since you have that many kernels installed | 13:18 |
| MaT-dg1 | I've had a kernel panic, how can I find out chat coused it? | 13:18 |

| ktemkin | er | 13:20 |
| ktemkin | no | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | qowao, given the dozens of text editors out for linux.. you can proberly find one similer. | 13:20 |
| ktemkin | that's not pie-chart | 13:20 |
| qowao | dr_willis: its the best i know | 13:20 |
| ktemkin | gnome-system-monitor will give you a pie-chart | 13:20 |

| kop_regr | frybye, well.. when it's working, Disk analyzer does some very nice graphs :-) | 13:38 |
| frybye | different ? - in a large peer 2 peer network (70+ clients and no server..!) I was able to use the dchp to get a dynamic ip which worked fine for an hour .. then it broke.. so i set up a manual ip that also worked for an hour and that broke..the netmask keeps changin to "24" | 13:38 |
| mwob | jin_: Yes you can, either 32 or 64 | 13:38 |
| chadeldridge | jin_: any | 13:38 |
| jin_ | sweet | 13:38 |
| frybye | and the net connection is dropped.. chage it back and it instantly gets broken again - and again... | 13:39 |
| xnv | kop_regr: But still not man alias, man set, man cd, etc. | 13:39 |
| chadeldridge | frybye: 24 = 255.255.255.0 | 13:39 |
| ccc | hi. im got intripid, but now the volume of sound is low, and the output for external case don't work. help me | 13:39 |
| diellon | i have in ubutu the theme cool for desktop | 13:39 |
| frybye | ok that is what i had entered - but the net connection still dont work.... | 13:39 |
| Pici | xnv: Because those are not programs, they are part of bash | 13:39 |
| kop_regr | xnv, if you do 'man bash-builtins' you will get the help for all those commands. if you want only the specific command, you can type 'help command', not man | 13:39 |
| frybye | or better said - worked for an hour and then broke... | 13:40 |
| jrib | xnv: try 'help alias' | 13:40 |

| Pici | xnv: I've never seen man pages for them, so I don't know. | 13:41 |

| mwob | mm_work. Ok thanks, I'll hack around a bit... | 13:41 |
| chadeldridge | frybye: lots of things could cause that issue, sounds like a network cascade failure or a broadcast flood killing your hub ... may want to check the cards to make sure they are all installed correctly and none are set to the wrong mode (all should be on the same duplex) | 13:41 |
| ikonia | Deiselton: I've done that int he past with dccprobe | 13:41 |
| jrib | xnv: if you want a man page, it's 'man bash'. But what you probably really want is 'help NAMED_OF_BUILTIN' | 13:41 |

| qowao | danbhfive: must be some neater solutions =/ | 13:45 |
| jrib | prodigel: ctrl-shift-numlock | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | mwob, you can edit it from X if you wanted.. or just go to the console with alt-ctrl-f1 | 13:45 |
| Oprtz1 | i cant view urdu fonts at www.bbc.com/urdu how to use urdu fonts in forefox thanks | 13:45 |
| danbhfive | qowao: well, that would work, I would think. Then, every call to gedit would instead call geany | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | mwob, or kill the gdm/kdm service | 13:45 |
| mm_work | dr_willis: could you point me to an online modeline generator? had my hands on one yesterday, now i cant find it :/ | 13:45 |
| qowao | danbhfive: but thats a dirty hack | 13:45 |
| prodigel | jrib, thanks! that was fast ;) | 13:45 |
| UserC | i can't use a command using a launcher when the command works in terminal, can anyone help me? | 13:45 |
| mwob | dr_willis: Thats the prob, I can't get to X :) Because it hangs. I'll try the alt-ctrl-f1 thing though | 13:45 |
| jrib | prodigel: there's some option in the menus too if you care | 13:46 |
| ccc | problem with audio help me | 13:46 |

| ikonia | Deiselton I put an init script before X that basiclly did a dcc probe, if it returned 1 result (laptop screen) set xorg config to xorg.conf.laptop if it detected more than one set xorg.conf to xorg.conf.multihead | 13:48 |
| ikonia | Deiselton: thats a little obsolete now with xorg being dynamic | 13:48 |

| killer | ikonia: so xorg has a built in way to do that?... cause i have xorg.conf set to only use an external monitor.. but if there isnt on it automatically resets to using the laptop screen... only problem is it rewrites it .conf so it wont try the external next time i boot and i have to reset everything | 13:50 |

| ikonia | heinrich: with what ? | 13:52 |
| qowao | jrib There is only 1 program which provides gnome-text-editor | 13:52 |
| qowao | (/usr/bin/gedit). Nothing to configure. | 13:52 |

| jrib | qowao: ah. You installed geany through the repos though? | 13:52 |
| dulak | snip3r: I think that's what I did to fix that issue | 13:52 |
| thorerik | Where have networking gone? all the things on the wiki reffer to System | Administration | Networking, but that isn't there anymore, only Network tools | 13:52 |
| killer | ikonia: yeah the only problem is it autodetects once and sets that to primary... so everytime i have a external monitor i have to reconfigure it... any idea how to get arround that? | 13:52 |
| qowao | jrib: through synaptic! | 13:52 |
| kosnick | has anyone used "keytouch" before? i need to use "apply" every time i start up my pc in ordrer for keytouch to take effect. Any workarounds about this ? | 13:52 |

| ikonia | heinrich: are you working without X for soem reason ? | 13:53 |
| qowao | heh platius | 13:53 |
| jrib | qowao: well, you can add an alternative for gnome-text-editor as geany. I don't recall how to do that without reading the man page though. Let me know if you are stuck | 13:53 |
| qowao | which man page jrib | 13:53 |

| tonybaloney867 | Hello, I just purchased a webcam and it seems to be partially working. So far some applications like VLC, Skype and xawtv seem to handle my webcam fine. Cheese and camorama are unable to open it though | 15:44 |
| lakitu | and-enabled-tour: this disk just has a 'stuff' partition (which is the damaged file system one), & then a linux partition, that won't boot | 15:44 |
| tonybaloney867 | Camorama just says "Unable to connect to /dev/video0" | 15:44 |
| sloopy | iyk_iri, saying it doesnt have the modules? | 15:44 |
| lakitu | and-enabled-tour: it's an external harddrive | 15:44 |
| kevin1 | where is there more information so that I can consistantly boot up to working wireless is there a wireless forum | 15:45 |
| tonybaloney867 | I found something that gives instructions on how to compile a new UVC module however I'd like to see if there's another solution you guys know of before I do that | 15:45 |
| and-enabled-tour | lakitu did you "fry your MBR"? i mean the boot part is damaged but all the rest is probabbly ok? | 15:45 |
| edju | Is the swap partition supposed to have a mount point? fstab has <mount\040point>. That doesn't look right. | 15:45 |
| and-enabled-tour | lakitu oh sorry, did not see the "external" part | 15:45 |
| lakitu | and-enabled-tour: i don't know. i did this: resize the full 250gb partition down to 230gb. doing that apparently damaged the file system | 15:45 |
| lakitu | and-enabled-tour: of the 230gb partition | 15:46 |

| sam__ | leaonard pop try to get envy to install the card for you . | 16:54 |
| swaj | IsUp: correct. See, Linux can't join your active directory unless you install samba. Because of this, it never registers itself with your domain's DNS server. So as a work-around, you have to explicitly create a record for it. | 16:54 |

| larsemil | leonard_pop: yes | 17:38 |
| hsn | soho: i tried that it doesnt work | 17:39 |
| Bamudan | billybigrigger: i had random crashes after an hour or so for a great while on 8.04 and 8.10 until i disabled pulseaudio. Go to System > Preference > Sound, and set all to ALSA, see if that works for you. | 17:39 |
| HyperHacker | I upgraded from 8.04 using the update manager. When I came back to it XScreenSaver was running and wouldn't let me enter my password before saying login failed. So I rebooted from the terminal and now I get a kernel panic, unable to mount root FS, as soon as it tries to boot | 17:39 |

| dvda_ | @leonard_pop: You have to install KDE | 17:39 |

| GoldenBullet | thats my current xorg | 17:52 |
| soho | thetank; it goes this way like the website says | 17:52 |
| regeya | since compiz uses its own window decorator, no, I wouldn't think compiz would work with openbox | 17:53 |

| Kassah | GoldenBullet, first thing I would try is first backing up your xorg.conf then running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg as suggested in the file... after you get booted up... it should autodetect your card and give you the option of enabling the proprietary drivers | 17:54 |
| qowao | MnemonicPunk: in case there is none? | 17:54 |

| Lokki | is there any way to remedy that? | 18:23 |
| noodlesgc | Yoshi try this: sudo apt-get update , and sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:24 |
| dr_willis | Lokki, as a test make a new user with the same login name perhaps? or check the docs for the printer and see how it allows guest printing. | 18:24 |

| dr_willis | Lokki, see your printer docs for allowing guest printing... it would be sort of silly if it only let 1 user print.. | 18:26 |

| juniech1 | thanks dr_willis | 18:28 |
| noodlesgc | Yoshi, you could just remove it and install it later | 18:28 |
| Kassah | Quadrescence, nothing stops ya from reinstalling 64bit when you get more discs. But if you've only got one CD left... I'd personally take the safe route. | 18:28 |
| Tominator | I've got a Problem with compiz (/emerald)... I'm using the new betadrivers (96) which are not availible as a package... there are noch windowdecorations (frames)... compiz always prints out: compiz.real (core) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32 | 18:28 |

| celtic | Hi could someone help me? I installed the appropriate Nvidia drivers for my 8800 GT and compiz and everything was working. But every time I restart I have to reinstall the drivers. Although when I do reinstall them, it says they are already installed. When starting up, my computer flashes on "reading files needed to boot" a few times then goes into "low graphics mode". How can I fix this so that these drivers save? | 18:28 |
| Lokki | dr_willis: how would one do that? As far as I know I'm not restricting the printers at all | 18:28 |
| Quadrescence | Kassah: That's what I'll do. Maybe I'll upgrade when I have more ram anyway. | 18:29 |

| dr_willis | mohbana, and if that dosent work.. i just did a quick google and found http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=665201 I imagine theres more to getting that going then just 'forceing; the package to install' | 18:39 |
| lianimator | Why can't I move the panel to the bottom anymore? | 18:39 |
| sfears | MnemonicPunk, i have ndiswrapper installed with the linksys driver installed into ndiswrapper.. the light on the wireless card is on, but iwconfig doesn't show any wireless networks detected.. and knetwork manager doesn't list any wirless networks.. although iwconfig does detect a network from my internal wireless card. | 18:40 |
| MnemonicPunk | GiantTalkingCow: On Win I used foobar for almost everything but on *nix I really got used to the extensive library features all those players have. Wouldn't want to lose them. :D | 18:40 |

| edmont | MnemonicPunk: | 19:00 |
| edmont | /dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. | 19:00 |

| MnemonicPunk | edmont: Sorry, no clues then. Your system probably can't find it, no idea for what reason though. Try rebooting and watching the messages/reading the logs so you find out what causes it. | 19:03 |
| lianimator | DEadPuNk: oh, you need to restart vlc for it to take effect | 19:03 |
| DEadPuNk | lianimator: what i need to do ? any solution ? | 19:03 |

| soho | OdnsRvns; do you mean synaptic? sudo apt-get install synaptic | 20:22 |
| DracNoc | ShackJac1, damn, that's a real nightmare. if you're GUI blacks out and you can't get to a command line, then you're pretty screwed. the new Xorg isn't flexible enough to allow easy editing. | 20:23 |

| Mullethunt | Hideme, anything else? | 20:24 |
| ShackJac1 | Can anyone tell me how to change the video driver or see which is in use? | 20:24 |
| makson | sweet thanks dude.. I just installed ubuntu server To update the system i just say apt-get update right? | 20:24 |
| OdnsRvns | Soho iu tried that didnt work says it called something else | 20:24 |
| Yoshi | damaltor: just tried deactivating and reactivating driver 173 it too gave me an out of bounds monitor | 20:24 |
| AJC_Z0 | You should be able to kill X with a key sequence - CTRL-ALT-KPDEL, IIRC | 20:24 |
| DracNoc | ShackJack, ok, then try the following at the command line: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 20:24 |
| DracNoc | ShackJac1, ok, then try the following at the command line: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 20:25 |
| OdnsRvns | soho: Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 20:25 |
| OdnsRvns | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 20:25 |
| OdnsRvns | is only available from another source | 20:25 |
| OdnsRvns | sorry for that | 20:25 |
| mincevv | ShackJa: I had similar problem with installation from cd - live session works, but something goes wrong with ATI drivers - I solved mine problem with installing fresh 8.04 then using internet I upgraded to 8.10 and it works | 20:25 |
| HMS | How do I stop network manager from terminal in 8.04.1? please, thanks! | 20:25 |
| ShackJac1 | DracNoc: I had tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it only asked me about the keyboard and not the video - how to I get it to ask the video... It's annoying cause when I ctrl-alt delete to restart - upcomes the progress bar.... | 20:25 |
| soho | OdnsRvns; u can use aptitude to install it | 20:26 |

| OdnsRvns | how so | 20:26 |
| OdnsRvns | im new sorry | 20:26 |
| RainCT | HMS: just guessing, but you can try ps xa | grep nm and killing the /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings process | 20:26 |
| DracNoc | ShackJac1, i'm sorry, but 8.10 is too new and this new damn xorg isn't helping with rescues. as mincevv pointed out, it's worth installing 8.04 then upgrading to 8.10, that seems to help. | 20:27 |
| mincevv | ShackJac1: heh... as I said live works... instalation with safe mode will not pass too | 20:27 |
| DracNoc | ShackJac1, what card are you running? | 20:27 |
| ShackJac1 | DracNoc: I did upgrade from 8.10 | 20:27 |
| Yoshi | man seems almost everyone is having driver troubles with this upgrade | 20:27 |
| ShackJac1 | DracNoc: I don't know - it's an old iSeries IBM circa 2000 192MB | 20:27 |

| ShackJac1 | deadkode: No, but i can get to a console if I start in recovery... I just want to know how to change the driver to use whatever the driver being used to show me the progress bar as that seems to work... | 20:32 |
| DracNoc | ShackJac1, looks like the IBM iSeries uses a Neomagic graphics chipset. That's some weird gear you've got there. There is an xorg plugin for neomagic cards. Make sure you have the xserver-xorg-video-neomagic pack installed. | 20:32 |
| arun_ | I use intrepic btw | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ShackJac1: try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and setting the video driver to "vesa" | 20:33 |

| thomc | Does the xserver-xorg-video-intel package contain the xf86-video-intel driver? | 20:34 |

| BoomShaka | is anyone here running on a dell inspiron 1720? specifcally, running 8.10 ? | 20:36 |
| MnemonicPunk | ShackJac1: Woa. o.o It *should*. Just make a backup of your xorg.conf so you can undo the changes if it breaks anything. =) | 20:36 |

| arun_ | ActionParsnip: is it still part of the repository. I cant seem to find it | 20:36 |
| mek_ | DracNoc: most anoying thing here is that there seems to be some kind of change in the mapping, in the x-session itself the cursor keys work fine, but a freeNX client running on 8.10 makes only garbage out of the cursor keys | 20:37 |

| makson | I think the proxy is misconfigured? | 20:37 |
| Tundrayeti312 | LF|Irssi: A quick fix? You would have to provide more info than "My audio isn't working..." im afraid : / | 20:37 |

| xukun | hi everybody. There is no sound coming from my logitech usb headset. I have everything set to pulse audio at "System - Preference - Sound" I,m doing something wrong or is pulseaudio not doing the job? | 20:37 |
| MnemonicPunk | ShackJac1: Nope. But if X is running already in some way, you will have to restart X manually by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Backspace | 20:37 |
| cyr1 | I am almost thinking it has something to do with the onboard intel video though | 20:37 |

| ActionParsnip | cyr1: disable any unnecessary hardware | 20:38 |
| arun_ | anybody else know how to install 945resolution in intrepid. googling doesnt seem to be of any help | 20:38 |
| DracNoc | mek_, i know what you mean. for some reason, my keys work ONLY if Amarok is working. It follows it's own key map. my brain hurts trying to work it out | 20:38 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 21:18 |
| homy1 | hi. after adding a ppa, I always get this warning when upgrade manager checks for updates: | 21:19 |
| homy1 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/66955/ | 21:19 |
| BoomShaka | DracNoc, nope, but ive tried repositioning it via the monitor controls and no luck | 21:19 |
| vol | Forestbear: Sorry, all I saw was "someone help me". Let me read. | 21:19 |
| Odd-rationale | splitz: that being said, i like to use weechat. xchat is also very nice. | 21:19 |
| dp_ | blippe: right, but why upgrade xorg, when the nvidia drivers don't work with it? | 21:19 |
| hardwired | how can I configure my X server? I freshly installed it | 21:19 |
| hema | chmod: invalid mode: `-rf' | 21:19 |
| qowao | hey sloopy everything in the nautilus is too big, in the menu panels, the folder buttons the icons hate it | 21:19 |
| blippe | hema: you've tried reading man chmod ? | 21:19 |
| vol | Forestbear: Hmm, not sure. Wait for someone else, or post on the ubuntu forums. | 21:19 |
| DracNoc | BoomShaka, just checking, sometimes it's just the obvious that works... | 21:19 |
| Pelo | hardwired, what do you need to configure in it ? | 21:19 |
| qowao | sloopy: it all looks bloated, windows looked much neater | 21:19 |
| valros | how do i run and pass on an argument to a .py script, python /home/username/Desktop/test.py [argument] ? | 21:20 |
| homy1 | now, how do I make that warning dissapear forever? | 21:20 |
| Pelo | homy1, change servers and try agian | 21:20 |
| blippe | dp_: because they won't release drivers until somebody uses the new xorg, it would have been a waiting game, and there are other drivers (free none the less) | 21:20 |
| Whitor | Hi. does the current [tab] key search the entire path.. for command completion.. if it doesn't find an answer in the current directory ? | 21:20 |
| hardwired | Pelo: xorg.conf is empty, I just have a console and a standard X (vesa I think) | 21:20 |
| smeuuh | hm, I've got this weird bug in intrepid, suddenly x-session-manager takes all the cpu time, and I can't run new programs. Worked fine in rc | 21:20 |
| HappyHater | my sound and video menu is a mess, I'm trying to add a submenu to it in the menu editor, but it won't let me drag items into the new submenu, what am I supposed to do? | 21:20 |

| BoomShaka | DracNoc, thanks :) | 21:20 |
| davint | Hi, I'm having troubles connecting my laptop (8.10) to my wireless network (WEP encryption) | 21:20 |
| dp_ | blippe: that don't support 3d, from what I've read | 21:20 |
| homy1 | Pelo: so, I can never use the server I am currently using again? | 21:20 |
| Pelo | hardwired, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg | 21:20 |
| robacarp | is ubuntuforums.org experencing "database error" for anyone else...? Something in the source about too many connections to the DB.... | 21:20 |
| blippe | dp_: tried it? | 21:20 |
| Whitor | I think it just did for me ... and thats very cool | 21:20 |
| Pelo | homy1, it might just be having a bad day | 21:21 |
| homy1 | ok Pelo, thanks. | 21:21 |
| Pelo | homy1, trying another server will give you a clue on wheather the problem is on your end or not | 21:21 |
| blippe | dp_: either, wait until nvidia release the new drivers until you update, or try the free ones until nvidia relesaes new ones | 21:21 |
| HappyHater | is there no way to create a submenu in the applications menu? | 21:22 |
| Pelo | hardwired, might be xserver-xorg , it's been a while | 21:22 |
| blippe | hardwired: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (no dot) | 21:22 |
| itrebal | anyone used Gnome-Do's Twitter plugin? | 21:22 |
| sloopy | qowao, did you try Edit->Prefs->Icon View Defaults/default zoom level ? | 21:22 |
| DracNoc | robacarp, they keep giving me that error too. I'm sure they're working on it. They changed their stuff and are probably experiencing a few teething troubles. | 21:22 |
| hardwired | Pelo: ah, that was it | 21:22 |
| blippe | itrebal: yeah, a bit | 21:22 |
| hardwired | blippe: eh? | 21:22 |
| hardwired | blippe: ah, got it | 21:22 |
| itrebal | blippe: I'm having a heck of a time setting it up; did you have any issues? | 21:22 |
| guntbert | Whitor: yes, it searches the complete path, not necessarily beginning with the current directory | 21:22 |
| Pelo | hardwired, he was giving you the same correction as I did | 21:22 |
| davint | Hi, I'm having troubles connecting my laptop (8.10) to my wireless network (WEP encryption) | 21:22 |
| qowao | sloopy: yeah those are the file icons, i mean the panel icons and stuff | 21:22 |
| blippe | itrebal: actually no... | 21:22 |
| hardwired | Pelo: yep, thanks | 21:22 |
| BikerGeek | HappyHater: Right click on the "Applications" menu, select "Edit menus", you can add/remove to your hearts content. | 21:23 |
| homy1 | Pelo: you were right :) With a different Server, this problem does not occur. Thanks! | 21:23 |
| itrebal | blippe: I mean, I went to Configure and put in my user/pass and it still isn't "finding" my credentials | 21:23 |
| qowao | sloopy: like go parent folder, go back, the folder buttons etc | 21:23 |
| break_free | is there a way I can edit my compiz preferences? | 21:23 |
| itrebal | blippe: its even saying "Account validation succeeded!" but it still tells me I havn't set it up | 21:23 |
| robacarp | DracNoc: I got through after a few refreshes...looks like the board provider needs to migrate to persistent db conncetions | 21:23 |
| blippe | itrebal: actually, now it doesn't work, strang | 21:23 |
| rabbot | are any of the mirrors down or something? | 21:24 |
| donomo | how do i get to the compiz settings control panel? i just set 'Visual Effects' to Extra | 21:24 |
| itrebal | blippe: hrm | 21:24 |
| DracNoc | robacarp, they just froze me out again... go figure. | 21:24 |
| sloopy | tyeah those i dunno, i usually use just text and not the icons for menus... | 21:24 |
| valros | break_free, if you have compiz-fusion installed its under system, preferences, CompizConfig settings manager, or just ccsm in the terminal | 21:24 |
| rabbot | minimal install keeps failiing on getting the packages | 21:24 |
| erUSUL | !ccsm | donomo | 21:24 |

| valros | yes | 21:25 |

| rlaager | thiebaude: That would be great. I see a number of flaws in this design (which should be correctable) and it was the first thing I noticed when signing in Pidgin for the first time on Intrepid. | 21:59 |

| cyr1 | i.e create some huge files, and the system runs out of space, etc | 22:00 |
| Some_Person | crimsun: Ah, I get it | 22:00 |
| WIGGMPk | cyr1: well I have read that /boot being separate is no longer really needed because modern PC's can handle the larger disks, but I am very interested in separating the /home directory to make upgrading and disaster recovery easier | 22:00 |

| cyr1 | WIGGMPk : that is actually ONE possible other one to seperate | 22:00 |
| Vi5in | Pelo: thanks! | 22:01 |
| WIGGMPk | cyr1: wouldnt dd with no quotes be a matter of poor user privileges? | 22:01 |
| cyr1 | WIGGMPk : obviously ;-) | 22:01 |
| Some_Person | Is there a way, in hardy, to turn off horizontal scrolling by sliding over my touchpad? Or at least move it so that it scrolls by sliding across the bottom like in Windows instead of on the right side? | 22:01 |
| === karsten is now known as Guest13069 | ||
| WIGGMPk | cyr1: I guess people would still want to be cautious.. makes sence | 22:01 |
| cyr1 | WIGGMPk : but sometimes it's unintentional, say a high volume mail server | 22:01 |
| Pelo | Vi5in, build-essential is a meta package, ( it installs other pacages) if you look at it in synaptic, right click properties, you'll get a list of the packages it installs as dependencies you'll want to purge those first, purge = uninstall completely , | 22:01 |

| ljuwaidah | Some_Person: any time | 22:02 |
| deepfreez | ? | 22:02 |
| Pelo | Some_Person, you can probably do that in X by specyfiying a behaviour for your mouse , not quite sure what it wouel have to be | 22:02 |
| cyr1 | WIGGMPk : for a workstation, i agree, /home is a good choice to make its own partition, and I'd probably give a good 60+% of the drive to it | 22:03 |

| LittleLambda | domino14: if you set up a partition in the empty space and set the mount point to /, ubuntu will install there. | 23:01 |

| rww | domino14: if you're only running Linux, nothing much. If you're also running another operating system, it may complain if you have more than four primary partitions, so you'd want to have a max of three primary partitions and then make the rest extended | 23:04 |

| zeno_ | FastPutty: sudo apt-get -f install | 23:08 |
| trimeta | On a different distro, there was some sort of /etc/hibernate/common.conf file I could edit to change the things it does when suspending or hibernating, but there's no such file in Ubuntu. | 23:08 |

| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 23:08 |
| rww | andresj: I believe this is a known problem with the nvidia drivers. They're not f/oss, so there's not much we can do. Try disabling compiz. | 23:08 |
| andresj | rww, i am completely sure that disabling compiz will fix the problem. :) but im sure there must be SOME workaround... :D | 23:08 |
| andresj | (apart from disabling desktop effects) | 23:08 |
| yosyp | crdlb, are you saying the default install selects i810 by default? | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | !clone | solexious | 23:08 |
| ubottu | solexious: 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 | 23:08 |

| robacarp | psusi: yea, this is on a server, so there is no gui at all, and the main user was deleted when samba was installed ;-) | 23:23 |
| trontonic | aes53: have you tried running "alsactl save" and then put "alsactl restore" in /etc/rc.local? | 23:23 |
| sfears | djhash, i've had this card working before using ndiswrapper in 8.04.. ndiswrapper says Lsbmcds.inf is being used.. and "windows wireless drivers" also shows that driver with hardware detected and being used.. however, knetwork manager still doesn't show any wireless networks | 23:24 |

| Trapecista | rww: yes ! :( | 23:24 |
| aes53 | yes I have | 23:24 |
| trontonic | aes53: that is, first making it work, then running "alsactl store" | 23:24 |
| SaberZ | anyone else experiencing a never ending blinking wifi light on their laptops? | 23:24 |

| Lucifer | those of you who have used lynx--is it quicker/easier to use than a regular browser? | 23:26 |
| test34 | Which program is the best mouse macro recorder for X ? | 23:26 |

| psusi | robacarp: it isn't a directory, it's a devnode.... yea... probably 660... just reboot and see ;) | 23:27 |
| trontonic | Lucifer: lynx is a lot quicker than a regular browser, but that is mainly because it doesn't load images, flash etc | 23:27 |

| kelvin911 | ok | 23:28 |
| Joe_Knight | i need some help getting my wifi card to work any one? | 23:28 |
| kelvin911 | littlepinkdot: ok thx | 23:28 |
| trontonic | Trapecista: strlen is a function that problably hasn't been imported/included. It all depends on context, though. And, it sounds more like a programming-question than an Ubuntu question :) | 23:28 |
| robacarp | psusi: thanks again. | 23:28 |
| Joe_Knight | kubuntu 8.10 | 23:28 |

| vilebrainvomit | Can anyone help me to get this to run " apt-get source linux-image-2.6.20-16-386 " | 23:32 |
| trontonic | kditty: it's a bit random which usb-adapters work, but most pcmcia cards should work, I think. Wireless for laptops is often a bit messy though. I had the same problem as you and just bought a wireless pcmcia card that turned out to be a PITA. The good news is that most cards get supported within a few months... I think there is an overview somewhere on the web, though. Hang on | 23:32 |
| KJ83TheSecond | thx alot | 23:32 |
| LittleLambda | joe_knight: It seems you need ndiswrapper. Let me see if I can find you a decent doc. | 23:32 |
| trontonic | kditty: how about tihs guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 23:33 |

| HazemMohamed | any one has a solution for slow internet in Interpid Ibex??????????? | 23:35 |
| trontonic | vilebrainvomit: If you find a guide for compiling and installing the linux kernel on the web, I think that should help you out. There are plenty of guides for doing that. Keywords are: ubuntu, kernel, compile, patch | 23:36 |

| geeksquad | why | 23:44 |
| sfears | ok slackgen | 23:44 |
| trontonic | Trapecista: I'm not mad. But my whole point is that if it compiles on Gentoo and not on Ubuntu, it probably isn't because of what's in /etc/lsb-release, but more likely because of a missing package :) | 23:44 |
| sfears | can anyone help me figure out why i can't complie anything, i think something is pointing to the wrong kernel sources | 23:45 |

| geeksquad | :-!funny | 23:47 |
| Trapecista | trontonic: I think its a question to the g++ folks, editing the sources and moving the includes from the cpp files to the header files solves the problem | 23:47 |
| SJr|Work | Hmmmmm yeah I did Fondor1 and it's incorrect | 23:47 |
| Trapecista | trontonic: but there are hundreds of includes ! | 23:47 |
| eXlin | _steve_: it might be just that your video device isnt supported or not workign for another reason | 23:47 |

| eXlin | _steve_: think you should try skype test call at first | 23:48 |
| damaltor | hello everybody. i freshly installed ubuntu 8.10 on a clean disk (because i didnt want to risk an update :) ). besides the known problems with nvidia geforce4, i dont have any sound. amarok states that xine couldnt init any sound drivers. soundcard is some intel chipset on motherboard of toshiba notebook. any help and tips appreciated. thank you! | 23:48 |

| ActionParsnip | vilebrainvomit: you can install it with apt-get if you dont have it | 23:49 |
| geeksquad | what is envyng | 23:49 |
| _steve_ | you know, when you want to change desktop background? You can have limited, better, or extra video stuff | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !envyng | geeksquad | 23:49 |
| ubottu | geeksquad: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 23:49 |
| Tyrath | !HTTP_PROXY | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about http_proxy | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !proxy | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. | 23:50 |
| geeksquad | whats it do | 23:50 |
| eXlin | _steve_ tbh i am not sure if skype's linux version fully supports video calls | 23:50 |
| trontonic | geeksquad: it's an application that will probably make compiz work for you | 23:50 |
| trontonic | geeksquad: if you wonder what it is, google | 23:50 |
| sfears | can anyone help me figure out why i can't complie anything, i think something is pointing to the wrong kernel sources | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | geeksquad: its a great but unsupported way to install ati and nvidia drivers | 23:50 |
| geeksquad | does it work on 8.10 | 23:50 |
| Tyrath | ActionParsnip: would you be able to help me configure a proxy? | 23:50 |
| Fondor1 | eXlin: it does. I've been using it since fiesty. | 23:50 |
| Tyrath | ActionParsnip: I have to set a port and such for example | 23:51 |
| trontonic | sfears: are you trying to compile the kernel? | 23:51 |
| _steve_ | I right clicked on the screen to change the background and found visual effects ... but that doesn't do other than the lowest level | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Tyrath: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-June/117700.html | 23:51 |
| Tyrath | ActionParsnip: if I just put set HTTP_PROXY I don't think it would cut it | 23:51 |
| Tyrath | thanks | 23:51 |
| eXlin | ok | 23:51 |
| Some_Person | I am in the middle of a distrib upgrade. Is it possible to pause it and reboot to Windows and resume later? | 23:51 |
| geeksquad | my video stuff is fine just when i start compiz-fusion it wont get any effects to work | 23:51 |
| sfears | no.. trying to compile ndiswrapper | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | geeksquad: ask in #compiz | 23:52 |
| sfears | trontonic | 23:52 |
| _steve_ | eXlin, I don't care whether I use Skype or any messenger, so long as I can see and be seen by brother in law | 23:52 |
| robacarp | Some_Person: I'd not try it if I were you....you might hose it all together | 23:52 |
| geeksquad | ok | 23:52 |
| trontonic | Some_Person: I think you can cancel it. The next time it won't download the same packages that is already downloaded. It's not recommended to cancel it, though. | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | sfears: doesnt the one on the repos do you? | 23:52 |
| sfears | no.. i'm having issues with wirless all the way around.. and i'm really not sure what to do | 23:52 |

| Tyrath | >> "user:passwd at address:port" doesn't seem to work :/ | 23:53 |
| trontonic | sfears: wireless cards can be a pain. Do you know if someone else with Linux on the web has it working? | 23:53 |
| _steve_ | resizing is always a tricky thing | 23:53 |
| trontonic | sfears: if you type "lspci" you can see what the card is really called | 23:53 |
| === urkidi is now known as fer_factor | ||
| ubuntu | _steve: it worked for me now i dont know what the problem is right now. | 23:53 |
| eXlin | _steve_ i remember that i saw some program what you could use to take snapshots from your webcam. i am quite sure that you can still find it from repository | 23:53 |
| sfears | i've had it working before | 23:53 |
| sfears | and everything seems to be in place for it to work now.. but for some reason it doesn't | 23:53 |
| * Tyrath wonders if ubuntu is both a bot and a human | 23:53 | |
| trontonic | sfears: alt+f2, gnome-terminal, lspci | grep Network | 23:53 |
| Tyrath | ubottu I mean | 23:54 |
| trontonic | sfears: what do you get? | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about i mean | 23:54 |
| eXlin | so that you can use to test your webacm | 23:54 |

| Tyrath | anyhow | 23:54 |
| obf213 | hmm gnome-do segfaults in guess session? | 23:54 |
| _steve_ | but does my problem seem more audio, video or something else? | 23:54 |
| Tyrath | I'm off | 23:54 |
| ubuntu | no | 23:54 |
| Tyrath | thanks for the help | 23:54 |

| eXlin | on skype? | 23:56 |
| trontonic | hillbilly3924: ah, yes, just remove "quiet splash" from /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:56 |
| _steve_ | but the webcam IS connected | 23:57 |
| Wintervenom | I am running Windows XP under Virtualbox. Every couple of moments or so, things like sound, scrolling, and graphics in the XP OS will freeze for a part of a second and then continue again. Is there any way to fix this? | 23:57 |
| LittleLambda | admin_masu3701: What do you mean "wont work?", what about sudo su? | 23:57 |
| eXlin | _steve_ so skype is saying that? | 23:57 |
| sfears | i have the driver correctally installed.. it's just still not working | 23:57 |

| === Guest79974 is now known as d-coding | ||
| trontonic | hillbilly3924: or use "startupmanager" if you want a GUI-program | 23:57 |
| _steve_ | I see under webcam in Add/remove 4 programs | 23:57 |
| Raylz | does the disk resizer work for hfs too? | 23:57 |

| eXlin | _steve_ think first thing to do is trying to get your webcam to work in any program and then after skype perhaps | 23:58 |
| diskin | if my laptop periodically freezes, but nothing in logfiles - it just stops responding, with all information on screen, etc - can it be a software problem (e.g., ATI driver), or it is only hardware problem? | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | admin_masu3701: sudo -i is prefferred | 23:58 |
| ubuntu | LittleLambda: no i want to create a empty partition from my windows partition so i can install ubuntu on the empty partition :P | 23:58 |
| trontonic | sfears: a hot tip for wireless cards is to install "wavemon". It's a great application for checking what's going on | 23:58 |
| _steve_ | ok | 23:59 |
| eXlin | think its possibel to config to vlc player for example | 23:59 |
| admin_masu3701 | lilambda: whats the difference between sudo and su? | 23:59 |
| sfears | will try trontonoic | 23:59 |
| admin_masu3701 | ActionParnip: what is sudo -i? | 23:59 |
| eXlin | but there is another programs also | 23:59 |
| trontonic | sfears: "iwlist wlan0 scanning" should give you a list of wireless networks nearby if it's working | 23:59 |
| _steve_ | but you'd suggest I try to take a snap from my cam? | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | admin_masu3701: su is switch user | 23:59 |
| Raylz | does ubuntu support macbooks too? | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | admin_masu3701: sudo with interactivity | 23:59 |
| trontonic | sfears: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning". Or, if the device is named ath0 instead: "sudo iwlist ath0 scanning" | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Raylz: yep, wifi uses ndiswrapper | 23:59 |
| LittleLambda | admin_masu3701: Su switchs to the user you give, where sudo executes the command as root. | 23:59 |
