| eXlin | _steve_ yea, i remember that tested once on friend laptop one really simple program what tooked snapshots from webcam | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Raylz | ActionParsnip: does the disk resizer work too? | 00:00 |
| admin_masu3701 | LittlLambda: i see | 00:00 |
| eXlin | it might been even in default setup of 8.04 | 00:00 |
| psyferre | hey folks, I hope there's someone out there that can hit me with a cluebat on this one. I'm trying to connect to a ms sql database on ubuntu hardy through python. Every time I do anything that has to do with compiling a module however I get: mssqldbmodule.c:1194: error: expected â;â before âreturnâ error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 | 00:00 |
| LittleLambda | Raylz: Im on my macbook, and the wifi worked out of the book with 8.10 | 00:00 |
| psyferre | i ran apt-get upgrade and got a bunch of upgrades, including one to gcc, but it hasn't changed anything. Am I missing something obvious? | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Raylz: sure, but you may as well have bught a cheaper system to put ubuntu on instead of wasting your money with a mac | 00:00 |
| _steve_ | I'm just a bit stupid for the moment, so I ask stupid questions | 00:00 |
| d0nets | jmn ,m | 00:00 |
| Raylz | ActionParsnip: my friend bought one ;) | 00:01 |
| beilabs | Hey guys, I have a user who needs to have a bash shell? I currently cannot log into this user with SSH | 00:01 |
| trontonic | psyferre: if you do a "gvim mysqldbmodule.c +1194", is there a missing ";" on the line above? | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | _steve_: you are just inexperienced which doesnt make you stupid | 00:01 |
| admin_masu3701 | Littlambda: so to be root i have to say sudo su? | 00:01 |
| Raylz | ActionParsnip: i try to get him take a look at linux | 00:01 |
| _steve_ | well, that was what I meant | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | admin_masu3701: use sudo -i | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | _steve_: you'll learn | 00:01 |
| marshall | for some reason, intrepid shows all my wireless networks and wired connections two or three times (sometimes) in the network manager dropdown. I'm on a thinkpad T61p and I get disconnected frequently, does anybody know why this might be happening? | 00:01 |
| sfears | ok.. scan completed | 00:01 |
| admin_masu3701 | ActionParsnip: ok | 00:02 |
| LittleLambda | admin_masu3701: That will give you a root prompt, but I have only used ubuntu for a day or so. ActionParsnip may well be right with sudo -i | 00:02 |
| sfears | keep in mind trontonic i have two wireless cards.. each with it's own issue | 00:02 |
| _steve_ | it's like a saying ... I want patience - and I want it RIGHT NOW | 00:02 |
| _steve_ | loll | 00:02 |
| wallabee | anyone know how to delete a stubbor file from trash? I can delete other files but not this folder. When i try and delete manually i get "error while deleting" and my owner permissions for the file are set to create and delete. | 00:02 |
| imchrislabeard | hey guys im trying to run ubuntu on vpc 7 but i can't get it to work anyone done this before | 00:02 |
| eXlin | _steve_ dont worry. beside there isnt stupid questions, only stypid... how it goed. well anyway. all of us been noobs at start | 00:02 |
| Raylz | LittleLambda: do you have one of the new macbooks? | 00:02 |
| LittleLambda | ubuntu: sorry. back to you | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | LittleLambda: its not really needed just put sudo at the start of all commands, ten you'll never need it | 00:02 |
| LittleLambda | ubunut: what was the problem | 00:02 |
| perillux | hello, suspend and hibernate did not work for me at first. I then installed uswsusp, and it now works beautifully if I run the commands s2both or s2disk. How can I make this ubuntu's default method of suspending/hibernating. | 00:02 |
| noelferreira | how can i reduce the volume of my system events (gaim, mail alerrts, ...) and increase the volume of mplayer streaming? | 00:02 |
| === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix-da-catz | ||
| trontonic | sfears: well, the first step is to make them both show up with "ifconfig", then both of them with "iwconfig", then both list networks with "sudo iwlist DEVICE scanning" | 00:02 |
| LittleLambda | raylz: No, I have one of the first issue white ones, brought 2006. | 00:03 |
| trontonic | sfears: do they both show up with "ifconfig"? | 00:03 |
| jlilly | is it possible to run a remote command via ssh like: ssh myserver "my_command" and keep the connection open? | 00:03 |
| sfears | they all show up in ifconfig | 00:03 |
| trontonic | sfears: do they show up with "iwconfig"? | 00:03 |
| psyferre | trontonic: installing vim real quick... using nano the file appears to be empty | 00:03 |
| mgolisch | is there any tool that allows setting a new desktop background in gnome? | 00:03 |
| sfears | iwconfig they show up.. but only one shows my wireless network | 00:03 |
| _steve_ | I see in Emesene, in preferences, Connection | 00:03 |
| LittleLambda | ubuntu: is the installer complaining about not being able to resize it or something? | 00:03 |
| perillux | mgolisch: yes there is | 00:03 |
| _steve_ | is there something to learn there? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jlilly: so when you connect a command is automatically executed? | 00:04 |
| trontonic | psyferre: you could use "gedit" too and just jump to the right line. If the file is empty, you might have forgot to use the path to the file as well. Like "my/source/bla&bla/somefile.c" | 00:04 |
| auxpat | i just upgraded to 8.10 on my ibm t42, and now my graphics settings are all bad. do i need to get a new ati driver or something? | 00:04 |
| sfears | my internal card shows "network" as the essid the other one shows not associated | 00:04 |
| perillux | mgolisch: I think there are programs that will do it too. But for now, if you want, I have a script that will do it | 00:04 |
| sfears | my internal card shows "network" as the essid the other one shows not associated trontonic | 00:04 |
| jlilly | ActionParsnip: yes. Assuming that I can't touch things like bashrc and such. | 00:04 |
| imchrislabeard | any body ran ubuntu on a virtual pc | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: a few times | 00:04 |
| diskin | if my laptop periodically freezes (halts), but nothing can be found 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? | 00:04 |
| _steve_ | HTTP, debug in console, and binary codes in debug? | 00:04 |
| felix-da-catz | I just reloaded Ubuntu 8.10 from scratch. I backed up my .evolution directory. Do I just replace the entire directory or do I just move the mail in there? | 00:04 |
| trontonic | sfears: okay, so both show up in iwconfig, that's at least one good thing. :) | 00:04 |
| noelferreira | how can i decrease the volume of my system events (gaim, mail alerrts, ...) and increase the volume of mplayer streaming? | 00:04 |
| mgolisch | iam in search for a cmdline tool that would allow me to change the desktop background , so i could use it togeher with some shellscript magic to have random automaticaly changing wallpapers | 00:04 |
| imchrislabeard | ActionParsnip: im doing it on a mac and i have ubuntu 8.10 on a dvd and when i select install ubuntu from the menu it runs all this stuff and then just stops | 00:05 |
| trontonic | sfears: I have experiened that a bad driver/kernel combination made the card show up but not actually work, though | 00:05 |
| perillux | mgolisch: I know the command you need, hang on, let me find it | 00:05 |
| sfears | when i click on knetwork manager it used to show available wireless networks.. now it's kind of greyed out and doesn't list the available networks | 00:05 |
| trontonic | sfears: so.. "sudo iwlist DEVICE scanning" works for all but one of the cards? | 00:05 |
| eXlin | _steve_ i recordmend you to check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam | 00:05 |
| _steve_ | ok | 00:05 |
| sfears | DEVICE Interface doesn't support scanning. | 00:06 |
| eXlin | in case you get it working by those advices then its about your skype | 00:06 |
| sfears | i have to go.. will return | 00:06 |
| trontonic | sfears: it's easier to keep networkmanager out of the loop for now. Actually, networkmanager meddles in the background, so it's best to shut it down with "sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager stop" | 00:06 |
| eXlin | and then it just to point on your device in skype | 00:06 |
| trontonic | sfears: DEVICE was just an example. Use "wlan0" or "ath0" or what it is called :) | 00:06 |
| yosyp | i want to run i810 driver with 3d acceleration; i put the default depth to 16 bit | 00:06 |

| perillux | mgolisch: are you there? | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: when does it stop? | 00:07 |

| ActionParsnip | jlilly: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/help-running-program-to-ssh-623648/ | 00:07 |
| imchrislabeard | ActionParsnip: it doens't actually ever get into the splash screen | 00:07 |
| trontonic | yosyp: try removing the "tracker" application as well if you experience lag. Also, I think perhaps there are some tweaks you can add to xorg.conf to make it go faster | 00:07 |
| scopecreep | im having wifi speed issues, using an iwl4965 on a g network. any suggestions? | 00:07 |
| noelferreira | MaT-dg, anything in the system | 00:07 |
| mgolisch | perillux: yeah | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: try disabling acpi and dma on the first boot | 00:07 |
| Sate_GameBoy | hi | 00:07 |

| yosyp | trontonic, tracker application? | 00:07 |
| * elektrikz cya:P | 00:07 | |
| imchrislabeard | ActionParsnip: how do i do that | 00:07 |
| Rods_Tiger | I want to show ubuntu to my students, but I've downloaded a 8.10 image and took the cd in to try it on their student machines and it doesn't work. It just (eventually) shows a black screen with a mouse, nothing else, no response. | 00:07 |
| perillux | mgolisch: ok, the command you will need is gconftool | 00:07 |
| wallabee | i need to delete a file from trash that is a permanent fixture can anyone offer any advice | 00:07 |
| trontonic | yosyp: yes. Remove it | 00:08 |
| MaT-dg | noelferreira, in pidgin you can change volume here -> tools > preferences > sounds | 00:08 |
| yosyp | trontonic, i dont have gnome at all . . . | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: are you running the desktop or alternative cd? | 00:08 |
| trontonic | yosyp: unless you need quick search for files in exchange for a slow computer | 00:08 |
| imchrislabeard | ActionParsnip: desktop | 00:08 |
| mgolisch | perillux: will try that | 00:08 |
| mgolisch | :) | 00:08 |
| Sate_GameBoy | How could I use eclipseme | 00:08 |
| nikitis | Off topic question: Anyone know if you can get a replacement voter registration card on election day? | 00:08 |
| trontonic | yosyp: then check if strigi is running | 00:08 |
| Sate_GameBoy | under ubuntu | 00:08 |
| wallabee | i cant remove it that is the problem | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 00:08 |
| Numer0bis | is it possible to install ubuntu and kubuntu via wubi ? so I could choose from the windows bootloader if i'd like to boot, xp, ubuntu or kubuntu ? | 00:08 |
| yosyp | trontonic, ps ax | grep strigi returns nothing, im guessing now | 00:09 |

| cougar_ | hi, does anyone know how to get an emu 1212m working? | 00:09 |
| yosyp | trontonic, 2138 frames in 5.0 seconds = 426.585 FPS | 00:09 |
| trontonic | yosyp: you can also install and run "htop" to get an excellent overview of which processes might take your resources | 00:09 |
| jaakkome | nikitis: I assume you're talking about the Finnish municipality elections - in that case you don't need the card anymore, just your id if enough! | 00:09 |
| nikitis | jaakkome, the USA elections | 00:10 |
| noelferreira | MaT-dg, ok i saw thanks. but i was more looking for a way in genereal to decrease all system's events. The one in particular is also thunderbird new mail alert notification sound | 00:10 |

| tsrk | Question about Ubuntu security: By default configuration, is there any damage a non-administrative account can do to the system? | 00:11 |
| tsrk | (if they try to do damage) | 00:11 |
| Maligne | Why do I get piss poor performance in Ubuntu w/ the NVIDIA drivers? I have a 6600 GT. | 00:11 |
| imchrislabeard | ActionParsnip: that didn't fix it | 00:12 |
| trontonic | yosyp: a search for "82845G ubuntu" gives many interesting results | 00:12 |
| DigitalFiz | ok so i have 2 mpegs i used tovid to convert how do i get them on a dual layer disk now? | 00:12 |
| Zach1 | hi I need help | 00:12 |
| imchrislabeard | ActionParsnip: it says abunch of garbage about like ?text_poke_early+0x52/0x70 etc.. | 00:12 |
| Zach1 | my restricted drivers wont install | 00:12 |
| Rods_Tiger | what other livecds should I show my students, that actually work on their machines? | 00:12 |
| Zach1 | it hangs at 0% | 00:12 |
| _steve_ | don't understand | 00:12 |
| xim_ | how can i make ubuntu line my icons up on the desktop instead of them all being random sizes and disorganized? | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | tsrk: only to your own files and anything owned by you. short answer is no which is why you shouldnt log on as root as many idiots do for daily tasks. If you get affected by malware / virii, this will also limit the damage they can inflict | 00:12 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, did you try OpenGEU? :B | 00:13 |
| _steve_ | it is 1:15 am here, so I will go to sleep | 00:13 |
| Rods_Tiger | never heard of it | 00:13 |
| diskin | if my laptop periodically freezes (halts), but nothing can be found 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? | 00:13 |
| _steve_ | but I am getting upset | 00:13 |
| trontonic | yosyp: it seems like it's a possibility that you're out of memory. Are you out of memory? | 00:13 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, try it. I'll get you a screenshot. | 00:13 |
| yosyp | trontonic, i have no resolution issues; the previous drivers sucked, the latest one works | 00:13 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, it will definitely win them over in the looks department. | 00:13 |
| qwstar | i'm getting only USB 1.1, the ehci module is not loading! | 00:13 |
| Rods_Tiger | it's chinese | 00:13 |
| psyferre | trontonic: thanks for taking an interest :) I don't really see anything wrong syntax wise with the code in mssqldbmodule.c but here's a pastebin of some of the error text... maybe it will make more sense to you than it did to me if you have a moment to take a look? http://rafb.net/p/uef5v298.html | 00:13 |
| Rods_Tiger | that's no good | 00:13 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, what is? | 00:13 |
| yosyp | trontonic, dont think so, i have 512 or 1gb ram | 00:13 |
| tsrk | ActionParsnip, I'm more concerned about creating accounts for other people that may not be completely trustworthy | 00:13 |
| perillux | mgolisch: are you still there? | 00:13 |
| Zach1 | can someone help me please? | 00:13 |
| Rods_Tiger | "OpenGEU? :B" | 00:13 |
| yosyp | trontonic, how do i check again? :P | 00:14 |
| Zach1 | my restricted drivers for my ATI video card wont enable | 00:14 |
| Zach1 | on intrepid ibex | 00:14 |
| trontonic | yosyp: "htop" is great for checking that | 00:14 |
| Zach1 | it hangs at 0% | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: you need to edit the boot option for the kernel with Press the F6 key to select Other Options. Then add noacpi dma=no | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: its all there | 00:14 |
| Rods_Tiger | I put "OpenGEU? :B" into google and it's chinese | 00:14 |
| eXlin | _steve_ install luvcview and type "luvcview" in terminal | 00:14 |

| newton | hello | 00:15 |
| trontonic | Zach1: checked this one? http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page | 00:15 |
| yosyp | trontonic, and current xchat, eterm and htop are the top 3 memory users :P | 00:15 |
| Maligne | Why do I get piss poor performance in Ubuntu w/ the NVIDIA drivers? I have a 6600 GT. | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: i pasted that from the site i gave you but anyway... | 00:15 |
| Rods_Tiger | so this will work, where ubuntu 8.10 doesn't? Excellent - I'll try it. Thanks | 00:15 |
| trontonic | yosyp: htop will give the answer to how much memory you have and how much you use | 00:15 |
| tsrk | ActionParsnip, I know that, but I mean are there any important files or directories that a non-administrative user can edit and can cause problems? | 00:15 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, I dunno about all that. It's actually based on Ubuntu 8.04.1, atm. | 00:15 |
| imchrislabeard | ActionParsnip: yeah well i can't press f4 im on a mac | 00:15 |
| newton | I just upgraded my ram to 4 gb, how do i get ubuntu to utilize all of it? | 00:15 |
| obf213 | ahh system beep!!. how do i disable! | 00:15 |
| Maligne | newton, 64-bit or a pae enabled kernel methinks. | 00:16 |
| tsrk | newton, install 64-bit | 00:16 |
| yosyp | trontonic, oh, thatś right! 311/1002 physical, while 38/956 swap | 00:16 |
| Maligne | tsrk, don't forget about that pae enabled kernel thingy. | 00:16 |
| Rods_Tiger | That's a bit of a risk then. 8.10 doesn't work on their student machines. | 00:16 |
| skaoz | hi | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: of course you can , the keyboard is captured | 00:16 |
| skaoz | hi | 00:16 |
| skaoz | hi | 00:16 |
| skaoz | hi | 00:16 |
| tsrk | Maligne, ok, I don't know what that is though :P | 00:16 |
| FloodBot1 | skaoz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:16 |
| _steve_ | what is the name of the thing I need to install? lucv ... ? | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | tsrk: autostart stuffs will make issues for the individual but can be cleared up with another users account | 00:16 |
| trontonic | psyferre: are you installing an Ubuntu package? Where does the source come from? | 00:16 |
| imchrislabeard | ActionParsnip: it won't let me it keeps bringing up the dashboard | 00:16 |
| tsrk | ActionParsnip, ok, thanks | 00:16 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, worth a shot. very beautiful. just try the live cd. :P | 00:16 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, it's a mix between gnome and E17, used to be called Geubuntu (gnome enlightenment ubuntu) | 00:17 |
| Rods_Tiger | ok. I don't really care what it looks like, just as long as I don't get a repeat of last time - everyone tried the cd and nothing worked | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | imchrislabeard: if its a virtual system you boot to the host OS | 00:17 |
| newton | Maligne, tsrk my video card wont support 64 bit linux, can it run in 32 bit linux? | 00:17 |
| trontonic | psyferre: ah, I know, try installing "libmysql++-dev". If that doesn't work, install all packages with "mysql" and "dev" in the name | 00:17 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, oh.. hm. Have you tried Mandriva One? | 00:17 |
| Rods_Tiger | no - that's a good thing to do | 00:18 |
| Maligne | newton, why won't it support 64-bit linux? | 00:18 |
| complexity_ | Firefox menus and it is really laggy with a fresh home directory in fluxbox or if I just run x with nothing but firefox | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tsrk: its one reason linux is more secure than microsofts systems with very little effort, obv windows can be screwed down but it takes more effort | 00:18 |
| skaoz | fack | 00:18 |
| complexity_ | but it seems fine in gnome desktop .. wtf ? | 00:18 |
| Maligne | Rods_Tiger, yes. might wanna try 2008.1, though. 2009.0 is kinda "out there" atm. | 00:18 |

| spi343 | hi all, i am trying to set up my wireless connection in ubuntu 8.10 with the network manager and i have some problems. My card is a senao 2511 CD and i am using host_ap drivers (everything went ok in 8.04). So i go to System->Preferences->Network Configuration, then i go to Wireless i click Add (i set up the connection ) i check "connect automatically" and "system setting" hit OK and wait for a connection but nothing. When i restart | 00:18 |
| spi343 | i notice the wireless card (wlan0 in my case) is not even up by itself, and if a try to manually connect to the AP it won't work either, i mean it connects (wavemon says so) but it doesn't receive any IP with dhclient. AGAIN this only happens with the latest kernel 2.6.27-7, if i start ubuntu with say .. 2.6.19 i can connect to my AP with iwconfing (not with the network manager) HELP | 00:18 |
| Rods_Tiger | I know the old 7.10 ubuntu used to work, but the new 8.10 simply doesn't. I haven't got the 7.10 any more | 00:19 |

| Jakoo | hubar that's weird is very ok on mine | 00:39 |
| shawng | Ok , the MD5 checks fine from the download | 00:40 |
| qowao | hey other flash players than the youtube one dont work in my firefox!! what could i have done wrong?? | 00:40 |
| qowao | i installed the flash plugin iirc | 00:40 |
| sfears | no trontonic iwconfig shows lo, eth0, eth1 & eth2 | 00:40 |
| hubar | Jakoo: I dist-upgrade from hardy to intrepid. | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: are you on 32bit or 64bit? | 00:40 |
| trontonic | mklebel: is that really your question, or what you can do about it? | 00:40 |
| qowao | 64 bit ActionParsnip | 00:40 |
| sfears | trontonic, same cards as ifconfig.. but different information | 00:40 |
| trontonic | sfears: are you mixing up "ifconfig" and "iwconfig"? | 00:40 |
| trontonic | sfears: hm | 00:40 |
| Jakoo | hubar yup i think thats the problem then | 00:40 |
| zelrikriando | I like intrepid | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: id suggest flashplugin-nonfree via nspluginwrapper, works greta | 00:41 |
| zelrikriando | it's good | 00:41 |
| qowao | aaah, in the synaptic ActionParsnip ? | 00:41 |
| qowao | will search that | 00:41 |
| trontonic | zelrikriando: me too, it's an improvement :) | 00:41 |
| Joe_Knight | ok back again i did sudo dhclient eth0 and nothing happens | 00:41 |
| funkja | qowao: I'm using Flash 10 from Adobe's website and it also works quite well. | 00:41 |
| MrP0cketz | so like | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper | 00:41 |
| bender1337 | hi im trying to play d2 on ubuntu and my monitor says out of range h: 81.3khz V:65.0hz | 00:41 |
| MrP0cketz | how do I roll back to 8.04 | 00:41 |
| MrP0cketz | ? | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: you dont need synaptic | 00:41 |
| qowao | thx! | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !downgrade | MrP0cketz | 00:41 |
| ubottu | MrP0cketz: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 00:41 |
| qowao | is synaptic just a gui for AGP GET | 00:41 |
| qowao | APT? | 00:41 |
| MrP0cketz | poooopp | 00:42 |
| trontonic | qowao: yes, both | 00:42 |
| MrP0cketz | 8.10 is buggy as hell | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | MrP0cketz: clean install is STRONGLY advised | 00:42 |
| crashsystems | I've got a computer running 7.10. Is there a way to upgrade directly to 8.10? | 00:42 |
| qowao | great | 00:42 |
| MrP0cketz | yeah | 00:42 |
| Joe_Knight | i need someone to tell me how to get internet up and running | 00:42 |
| luddite | hi - for some reason my swap partition isnt enable. I have done mkswap /dev/sda1 and also swapon -a - this enables it. I have added the uuid to the the fstab but on reboot it doesnt add it. Any reason why? | 00:42 |
| MrP0cketz | or to just get my networking back up | 00:42 |
| Joe_Knight | eth doesn work card doesnt work | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | crashsystems | 00:42 |
| ubottu | crashsystems: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 00:42 |
| qowao | ActionParsnip: then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree? | 00:42 |
| mklebel | trontonic, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock | 00:42 |
| crashsystems | yep, I'm on that page | 00:42 |
| megatog615 | whats up with the repos? | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: indeed, you are learning :D | 00:43 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: search and replace "hardy" with "intrepid" in /etc/apt/sources.list, then use synaptic, update, upgrade, apply. Worked for me | 00:43 |
| qowao | thx! | 00:43 |
| Jakoo | i am trying to get why since i have installed a gtk theme on intrepid gedit opens slow like the hell , any idea? | 00:43 |
| nowimproved | something must have updated. wtf.. firefox is slow if im not in gnome now, i cant even click the top menu without it laggingg .......... | 00:43 |
| qowao | ActionParsnip: now reboot? | 00:43 |
| nowimproved | and it is a default home directory | 00:43 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: possibly, change to another mirror using the menu in Synaptic (to get a faster mirror) | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: if you know what you want you dont have to waste time while synaptic messes around, you can tab complete package names too | 00:43 |
| oerms | does anyone know how to totally disable the HDMI ouput of intel GMA in intrepid? | 00:43 |
| qowao | perfect ActionParsnip | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: no, you hardly reboot linux | 00:43 |
| Humaan | hi I installed ndiswrapper and the drivers for my wireless card but it seems ndiswrapper and wireless card drivers with it give me worse connection than the built in ones on ubuntu. So how do I reverse this and go back to ubuntus rt2500pci drivers? | 00:43 |

| JonathanEllis | Can anyone help me to get a Logitech Wingman Warrior joysst | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so | 00:44 |
| shawng | so now what burn another cd ? | 00:44 |
| MaT-dg | I can ping from my XP-system to my intrepid-system but not from intrepid to XP, what is wrong? | 00:44 |
| qowao | ok | 00:44 |
| tvp | 2 | 00:44 |
| crashsystems | @trontonic I've got CLI access only. I'm simply not sure if it is possible to upgrade directly to 8.10, or if I must go through 8.04 first. | 00:44 |
| === No is now known as Guest53124 | ||
| ActionParsnip | qowao: then rerun firefox | 00:44 |
| LjL | MaT-dg: probably nothing at all. XP's firewall doesn't let it reply to pings by default | 00:44 |
| funkja | MaT-dg: possibly a firewall issue? | 00:44 |
| Joe_Knight | anyone? | 00:44 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: it's possible, I did it. | 00:44 |
| Humaan | hi I installed ndiswrapper and the drivers for my wireless card but it seems ndiswrapper and wireless card drivers with it give me worse connection than the built in ones on ubuntu. So how do I reverse this and go back to ubuntus rt2500pci drivers? | 00:45 |
| shawng | but why would the check cd tell me the cd is fine when it is not =( | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: if flash crashes, run ps -ef | grep nsplug | 00:45 |
| sfears | MaT-dg, make sure you have samba installed & enabled | 00:45 |
| Joe_Knight | i cant get internet up and going on kubuntu help please | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: you can kill nspluginwrapper instead of firefox and you will be ok] | 00:45 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: you can do it from the CLI too. Search and replace "hardy" with "intrepid", sudo aptitude update, sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 00:45 |
| MaT-dg | LjL, funkja: firewall is turned off on the XP-system | 00:45 |
| LjL | sfears: what would that have to do with icmp ping? | 00:45 |
| crashsystems | @trontonic ok, is it riskier than the average upgrade to a new version? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: all good? | 00:45 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: is this a production system? :) | 00:45 |
| qowao | hold on | 00:45 |
| qowao | loading | 00:45 |

| BenwaH | hey all! I have just finished installing Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex server edition on my home-server, I am trying to "aptitude update" but it's verrrry slow, did anyone else notice the slow-speed? Is it because it's been launched recently and the servers are overwhelmed? | 00:46 |

| sfears | Guest53124, install envyng-qt | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | MaT-dg: can you ping by name or ip | 00:46 |
| funkja | BenwaH: Usually happens after a new release. Lots of load on the servers. | 00:46 |
| MrP0cketz | all workstaions but my 8.10 workstartion work | 00:46 |

| qowao | perfect man | 00:46 |
| BenwaH | funkja, alright thx | 00:47 |
| sfears | MaT-dg, installing samba might configure the network | 00:47 |

| Humaan | hi I installed ndiswrapper and the drivers for my wireless card but it seems ndiswrapper and wireless card drivers with it give me worse connection than the built in ones on ubuntu. So how do I reverse this and go back to ubuntus rt2500pci drivers? | 00:47 |
| shawng | so burn another cd it is. | 00:47 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: hm. Then, to do it really properly, I would take a backup of at least /etc and /home, then install Intrepid from a CD while not formatting the filesystem and keeping /home as it is. That would do it properly, and you would keep your settings. Unless you've been editing files in /usr/bin and so on, it should work fine. And it would be a proper upgrade. | 00:47 |
| MaT-dg | funkja, yes for examle ping www.google.be works | 00:47 |
| vialas | hello everyone | 00:47 |
| b4b3 | where can i find lenovo sound driver | 00:47 |

| BenwaH | funkja, but it's at crawling speed.. 242 B/s right now hehe | 00:47 |
| LjL | Pav5088: ask your question instead of asking "anyone" questions. still, #sed and #bash might be better places for that. | 00:47 |

| oerms | does anyone know how to totally disable the HDMI ouput of intel GMA in intrepid? xrandr doesn't do... | 00:48 |
| crashsystems | @trontonic I might just upgrade to 8.04, and then go to 8.10 latter | 00:48 |
| L00ker | Trying to turn on Visual Effects on a Lenovo T61. Had it running fine /wo issues in 8.04. Did a cdromupgrade from the alternate CD. System has onboard Intel video. Any ideas? | 00:48 |
| funkja | Benwah: :) did it just start going slow? is the rest of your connection slow? | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mercutio22: is the input language correct? | 00:48 |
| qowao | strange thing ActionParsnip i have no sound in flash vids | 00:48 |
| qowao | but otherwise | 00:48 |
| qowao | neverhad before in falsh | 00:48 |
| qowao | flash | 00:48 |
| FloodBot1 | qowao: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:48 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: if there were to be any problems, it would probably be with graphics drivers or wireless network cards | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: theres loads of guides for that | 00:48 |
| BenwaH | funkja, the rest of my connection is fine, I can wget at 700K/s | 00:48 |
| crashsystems | no wifi cards, and an older graphics car | 00:48 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: if it's a server, I think an upgrade should go perfectly smooth either way | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: try: no sound flash ubuntu | 00:48 |
| qowao | k | 00:48 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: sounds safe to me | 00:49 |
| crashsystems | direct, or to 8.04? | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: in your favourite search engine, therres millions | 00:49 |
| MaT-dg | funkja, I don't know it worked on hardy (even with xp firewall on) and not anymore in intrepid, XP-config hasn't changed | 00:49 |
| funkja | Humaan: You'll want to uninstall ndiswrapper. If you used apt, you can do sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils. So long as you didn't uninstall or disable the orginal drivers, ubuntu will fall back to them. | 00:49 |
| qowao | found something | 00:49 |
| BenwaH | funkja, only ca.archive.ubuntu.com is slow, anyways, I guess it's just that everyone is doing an update at the same time | 00:49 |
| MaT-dg | ActionParsnip, what do u mean with that? | 00:49 |
| mercutio22 | ActionParsnip> how do I verify? | 00:49 |

| ezzieyguywuf | so i'm pretty stoked because it seems that the new open source video driver in ibex fully supports my ati video card!!! that being the case, i'm going to try to stick to as much of the 'stock' installation as possible, in order to avoid unneccessary bloate. so, is there any easy way to config compiz from the stock installation or does the compiz config package need to be installed? | 00:49 |
| funkja | BenwaH: yup. You'll just have to be patient I guess. Go for a walk. :) | 00:49 |
| vialas | question on installing 8.10 --- after i log in i just get a mouse courser and nothing else..... anyone know what this could mean? | 00:49 |
| qowao | sudo aptitude install alsa-oss ?? | 00:49 |
| luddite | my swap partition isnt enable. I have done mkswap /dev/sda1 and also swapon -a - this enables it. I have added the uuid to the the fstab but on reboot it doesnt add it. Any reason why? | 00:50 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: Synaptic is very good at resolving broken packages compared to apt-get, in my experience. I would actually install synaptic (including a small X-server that follows), just to do the upgrade. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MaT-dg: you are trying to ping a windows system, can you ping by name? can you ping by ip? | 00:50 |
| rickforth | My sound used to work on 8.04... under 8.10 it only works on AC-3. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix it? | 00:50 |
| funkja | MaT-dg: hm. Well. I guess you could get a packet sniffer to make sure that Ibex is actually sending the packets.... but it seems likely as you can ping other t hings. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: sure | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | rickforth | 00:50 |
| ubottu | rickforth: 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 | 00:50 |
| ezzieyguywuf | luddite: i had problems with my swap when i was trying to install. i ended up just deleting all my partitions and then re-partitioning them. i don't know of your problem is related to a bad install or not... | 00:50 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: You can also use "upgrade-manager", the gui for upgrading that comes with Ubuntu, but it's a bit flakey | 00:50 |
| Humaan | what if I did disable them | 00:51 |
| crashsystems | @trontonic what about aptitude? synaptic is really not an option for me, as I only have an ssh connection. | 00:51 |
| LjL | luddite: what does the fstab line say exactly? | 00:51 |
| Humaan | how can I check if there still there? | 00:51 |
| trontonic | crashsystems: here's what I would do, if you take advice from strangers on IRC ;) | 00:51 |

| Uplink | jimv2000: any other easier way? | 00:55 |
| crashsystems | @trontonic thanks for the advice | 00:55 |

| funkja | clint: gtk 2.x most likey. | 00:56 |
| billybigrigger | is anyone else aware of any other content managing like wordpress? but not wordpress? | 00:56 |
| clint | yea but what kind of theme do i need to get | 00:56 |
| clint | what kind does ub8.04 require? | 00:56 |
| dulak | billybigrigger: drupal and joomla are both pretty complete CMS systems that can double as blogs | 00:56 |
| trontonic | billybigrigger: wrong channel. plone is another cms | 00:57 |
| clint | yes uplink | 00:57 |
| jimv2000 | @Uplink: Oh, this is new...go to System> Administration > System Monitor and click the FIlesystems tab | 00:57 |
| funkja | clint: ubuntu uses gtk and metacity by default. it doesn't have it's own themes. | 00:57 |

| vialas | so anyone got any ideas of ubu hanging just after i enter my password??? | 00:58 |
| Uplink | clint: make sure to type my name if you want help | 00:58 |
| billybigrigger | dulak, are they packaged for ubuntu like wordpress? | 00:58 |
| trontonic | vialas: at the commandline, graphical login or when you enter the system password in another context? | 00:58 |
| funkja | clint: if you are referring to some sort of dock at the bottom - that requires a different program, not just a theme. | 00:58 |
| d00kiejones | ? | 00:59 |
| d00kiejones | how do i change channels here? | 00:59 |
| trontonic | d00kiejones: "/j #somechannel" | 00:59 |
| clint | funkja, what kind of program? | 00:59 |
| funkja | !dock | 00:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dock | 00:59 |
| funkja | !docks | 00:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about docks | 00:59 |
| funkja | darn :) | 00:59 |
| trontonic | funkja: just install "trayer", for instance | 00:59 |
| jimv2000 | @clint: lookup Kibadock or CairoDock | 00:59 |
| dulak | billybigrigger: the older version of drupal is, but for a web app it's probably best to install into your webspace yourself, cuz packages tend to update really slowly compared to actual development | 00:59 |
| d00kiejones | thanks tron | 00:59 |

| vialas | trontonic its after i install ubu, the gui comes up asking me to log in, i put the correct details, and the screen goes black, i can see the mouse pointer wich moves around, but nothing works, not even numb lock, and i left it at that stage all night, and it didnt log in. | 01:00 |
| jimv2000 | !kibadock | 01:00 |

| jimv2000 | !cairodock | 01:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cairodock | 01:00 |
| dulak | billybigrigger: both are really easy to install actually, you extract into your web space and run a setup file from your browser and it's done | 01:00 |
| LjL | !fishing | 01:00 |
| ubottu | Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 01:00 |
| nevans | has anyone else had a problem with that | 01:00 |
| xorlim | /j/j #wikipedia | 01:00 |
| trontonic | vialas: ah, it's a windowmanager-problem. When you start up and you get the graphical screen ("gdm"), you can click the "session" button and select different windowmanagers. Is it currently on "GNOME"? | 01:00 |
| trontonic | nevans: most likely. Have you searched the web? | 01:01 |
| funkja | clint: okay. What you would do is download the GTK theme, which will download it to your desktop. Then open up System->Preferences->Appearance. There is an Install button in the lower right on the window that opens. You can then install the theme you just downloaded. | 01:01 |
| vialas | trontonic i belive so | 01:01 |
| iRocK_ | yo | 01:01 |
| iRocK_ | where is botserv? | 01:01 |
| nevans | trontonic, doing that right now, actually. | 01:01 |
| vialas | trontonic thats the one i like :D | 01:01 |
| jimv2000 | is there a way to hide the join/leave notifications | 01:01 |
| trontonic | vialas: great, then we've narrowed it down to a GNOME-problem | 01:02 |

| vialas | trontonic would be much esyer | 01:03 |
| funkja | clint: you shouldn't extract it. You should keep it as a bzip or gz or tar, the theme manger installs it compressed. | 01:03 |

| Uplink | why is my root partition bigger than my home? | 01:16 |
| Ward1983 | think_linux, ok then you should check the exact type and name, brand, etc of the device, check if its a switch or a hub, if its a hub all traffic goes to all ports so you jsut have to open up wireshark and fileter by ip :) (very easy) | 01:16 |
| felix-da-catz | Uplink: You have to answer that one. | 01:16 |
| Uplink | what i meant is that, is it supposed to be like that? | 01:16 |
| think_linux | Ward1983 : haha wireshark is great lol | 01:16 |
| compengi | Uplink, because root contains all your operating system files. | 01:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Uplink, i'd say you screwed up while installing. | 01:17 |
| felix-da-catz | uplink: Depends on the system really. | 01:17 |
| Ward1983 | think_linux, if its a switch and its cisco you can use port spanning, you can get all the traffic out of one port then, you hook a machine to that port with wireshark, done | 01:17 |
| felix-da-catz | uplink: If it is a server, then it is not a big deal. But if it is your desktop, then you might be regretting it. | 01:17 |
| Uplink | IndyGunFreak: yea i know, i didnt know a bit of a thing to install linux | 01:17 |
| think_linux | Ward1983 : yeah that sounds good | 01:17 |
| Uplink | felix-da-catz: its a notebook... 120GB lol | 01:17 |
| think_linux | Ward1983 : didnt think about it! thakns!! | 01:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Uplink, why did you even create a separate /root partition? | 01:17 |
| felix-da-catz | think_linux: Port mirroring is another name for port spanning. | 01:17 |
| Ward1983 | think_linux, only for the last option it would be best if you used a faster port, some switches have a gigabit port next to 100megabit ones | 01:17 |
| Ward1983 | think_linux, wireshark is your friend if you need to monitor peoples traffic :) | 01:18 |
| klos | argh new flash player plus ubuntu 8.10 SUCKS BIF TIME | 01:18 |

| think_linux | Ward1983 : i gotta check that too....yeah wireshark is great, i need to make sure its gonna work!! | 01:18 |
| Ward1983 | think_linux, also if its not a hub, not cisco and you cannot connfigure portspanning... you can still do it :p | 01:18 |
| klos | no sound AND no video | 01:18 |
| klos | it just stops after 3 seconds | 01:19 |
| wnet1 | wwwcom | 01:19 |

| clint | i downgraded due to the problems i had | 01:19 |
| think_linux | Ward1983 : so wireshark is the thing then! | 01:19 |
| wnet1 | wwwnn | 01:19 |
| klos | yea i gonna kill the system in a month anyway | 01:19 |
| felix-da-catz | uplink: This time I did custom partitions because I hated backing up my 40gig /home directory. | 01:19 |
| klos | so it doesnt matter | 01:19 |
| clint | kill the system? | 01:19 |
| klos | but the upgrade didnt work out being good for me, however | 01:19 |
| wnet1 | www...cow | 01:19 |
| Ward1983 | think_linux, so if al lthe above is not possible you can use arp spoofing to monitor specific hosts :p but i would not recommend that if you dont have experiendce with networking | 01:19 |

| klos | is there anyway to downgrade to flash 9 ? | 01:20 |
| felix-da-catz | think_linux: It is easy, but hard. wireshark rocks, but it takes a little knowledge before it is useful. I would start reading up now. | 01:20 |

| Fish-Face | Hey all. The VPN widget of nm isn't saving my MPPE setting - it's being set to off as soon as I press "OK" in the Advanced dialog | 01:35 |
| Fish-Face | Oh | 01:35 |
| Fish-Face | actually | 01:35 |
| Fish-Face | it's being set off if I change it to 128bit encryption | 01:35 |
| nintendork87 | phix thought that was runtime | 01:35 |
| FloodBot1 | Fish-Face: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: is it visible, or is it just when yuo click it, you seeno networks? | 01:35 |
| bioboti | sebastian, have you tried any other distros to see if the same problem happens? | 01:35 |
| nintendork87 | well then whats the command to install runtime | 01:35 |
| sebastian | bioboti: no i havent. | 01:35 |
| darkdancer | compengi um, not sure | 01:35 |
| darkdancer | Oh yay, I'm lagged out... | 01:35 |
| mikebot | IndyGunFreak: I don't see it at all, should I try running that command in terminal? | 01:35 |
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz, yeah internet works perfectly, I just can't ping my XP-pc (pinging ubuntu-pc on XP-px works however) | 01:35 |

| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: Check your firewall on the XP machine. | 01:36 |
| princethrash | Pici; 2005.08.R1 | 01:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: try right clicking your panel, add to panel, and add "Notification Area", and see if you see it then | 01:36 |
| mikebot | IndyGunFreak: Haha, I did it, it showed up.. | 01:36 |
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz, firewall is turned off | 01:36 |

| deftone | for some reason when i boot up my system a file browser starts up....where can I fix this?? | 01:36 |
| compengi | darkdancer, you can try sudo mount -a /dev/sd.. if it won't then we would do something else | 01:36 |
| felix-da-catz | Try pinging the IPAddress of the XP machine. If that is the case, then you need to setup an entry in your /etc/hosts file. | 01:36 |
| musikgoat | nintendork sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 01:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: yeah, you can't.. add "notification area" to your panel, and it will load on startup | 01:36 |
| mikebot | IndyGunFreak: Is there a way to open nm-applet without running it through a terminal? | 01:37 |
| rickforth | HI, i'm able to get limited audio working in Ibex. Can anyone help - this topic doesn't seem to be covered in the FAQs / etc. | 01:37 |
| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: Try pinging the IPAddress of the XP machine. If that works, then you need to setup an entry in your /etc/hosts file. | 01:37 |
| nintendork87 | thanks | 01:37 |
| izzy200198 | thanks anyway | 01:37 |

| natalie | Is there anyone who could help me with a problem that I am having. My computer freezes regularly when I am surfing the net, but seems to be fine when it idles | 01:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: ok, if you added the notification area like i aid, it should be there when you restart, and you can move the notification area whereever you want it(i guess most have it by the clock), most likely you removed it on accident | 01:38 |
| darkdancer | compengi: can't find /dev/sda3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 01:39 |
| mikebot | IndyGunFreak: The thing is, I had all my other stuff up there (like the system mon. thing, the clock, volume control, etc.) | 01:39 |
| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: You sure the firewall is turned off? Windows and anti-virus firewalls? | 01:39 |
| Pici | princethrash: Its possible that this argument is not supported on the version in Dapper. I can tell you it works on at least anything from hardy-backports onward. | 01:39 |
| Genius314 | Do I have to import the settings from my old install if I'm using the old /home partition as my new one? | 01:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: ok... well unless you have an 8in screen.. you should have plenty of room for notification area | 01:39 |
| thilmegil | anyone feel like helping Ubuntu noob who has reinstalled about 6 times in a week? I can't get my drive mounts and partitions right. using 8.04 | 01:39 |
| compengi | darkdancer, okay, then create a directory in /mnt/<name> | 01:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: and you should keep notification area anyways, because it will alert you to updates, etc. | 01:39 |
| princethrash | Pici, thanks for the help. | 01:39 |
| mikebot | IndyGunFreak: Haha, right, I meant I don't know how I would have removed it. | 01:39 |
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz: 100% sure, only have the windows firewall | 01:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: oh ok.., wel, accidents happen | 01:40 |

| rezor21_ | In the 8.10 release notes they I should use the "nv driver" for my monitor now instead of the nvidia legacy package. Does anyone know which package the "nv" driver comes in? | 01:40 |
| musikgoat | natalie: are there specific sites or just in general? | 01:40 |
| Ward1983 | natalie, try epiphany, that one seems faster then firefox, maybe it helps | 01:40 |
| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: What is your ultimate goal? Is there something else you want to do that is not working? Or is it just ping? | 01:40 |
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz: when firewall is on ICMP requests are allowed and filesharing is an exception | 01:40 |
| sYskk | what is the difference between iwconfig and /etc/network/interfaces ? | 01:40 |
| Ward1983 | natalie, (epiphany is a browser) | 01:40 |
| jrib | secion8: the stuff in !compile is not what you want. Have you figured it out? | 01:41 |
| natalie | It's not specific sites, it just seems to happen whenever I am surfing the net for any length of time. Once I reboot, it seems to happen more often | 01:41 |
| darkdancer | compengi: with the name of the drive or the sda3? | 01:41 |
| compengi | darkdancer, anything you want, it's just a mount point with anyname you want | 01:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: did it work? | 01:42 |
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz: I'm trying to set up samba and running the checklist http://ftp.easynet.be/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/diagnosis.html | 01:42 |
| darkdancer | compengi: ok, created. | 01:42 |
| ypahnu | hi , ( im on desktop ubuntu 8.10 ) I instaled mysql-server I forgot the password, what can I do ? | 01:42 |
| mikebot | IndyGunFreak: It popped up asking for a password, one second. | 01:42 |
| compengi | darkdancer, then try sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/<name> | 01:42 |
| musikgoat | natalie: test epiphany and if you see that the problem doesn't exist, then firefox must be doing something funky, like bad mem management or something | 01:42 |
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz: currently stuck at pinging ;) | 01:42 |
| felix-da-catz | Mat-dg: So you can't see the shares on your linux box from Windows? Or the other way around? | 01:42 |
| rickforth | i'm doing an audio pass through to my amp. Can anyone explain why AC-3 at 48khz would work, but nothing else will (eg. AAC) | 01:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: then that would indicate that network is password protected | 01:42 |
| musikgoat | natalie: or the weasel or seahorse or whatever else mozilla offers | 01:42 |

| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz: that is correct | 01:44 |
| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: Which way? | 01:44 |
| darkdancer | compengi: It's an ext3 drive | 01:44 |

| ypahnu | ubotttu, I tried to do that.. my config don't delete | 01:46 |

| === b33r_ is now known as b33r | ||
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz, nope router is the same, XP-config is the same, ip's are the same, only thing that changed is ubuntu going from 8.04 to 8.10 | 01:47 |
| yoyoned | msk: it sounds like your trying to run x on one monitor, but not the other | 01:47 |
| darkdancer | compengi: not real sure how to umount....anyway, don't think that's it, that must be the windows drive | 01:47 |
| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: I would reboot the router, just to make sure. | 01:47 |
| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: Is there anything else on your network you can try to ping? Like the router? | 01:48 |
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz: both machines get there adresses with DHCP | 01:48 |
| compengi | darkdancer, you need to make sure of file system first and your drive :) | 01:48 |
| msk | yoyoned: no, what I mean is this. Sometimes I have my laptop with an external monitor plugged in and other times I don't. When I don't have it plugged in, if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a TTY, nothing shows up. When I have the monitor plugged in, the terminal is only on the external monitor, so I"m assuming that this is the problem. | 01:48 |
| ypahnu | ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) ? Why am I getting this? | 01:48 |
| compengi | darkdancer, as i said, you could figure out by sudo fdisk -l | 01:48 |
| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz: ping to router works | 01:49 |
| Franny | MaT-dg, cant mount a win share? | 01:49 |
| felix-da-catz | ypahnu: Is mysql running? | 01:49 |
| msk | yoyoned: also, if I change my xorg.conf so that it's only set up to output to my laptop but I leave the external mon. plugged in, then the TTY still outputs to the external monitor | 01:49 |
| darkdancer | compengi: I know the file system, I don't think the drive is showing in fdisk -l | 01:49 |

| droids | hm, anyone handy with networking? | 01:50 |
| felix-da-catz | ypahnu: That is easily solved. You have to use a startup switch that doesn't load the mysql tables when you start mysql, then you can reset the password. | 01:50 |
| jrib | fallore: use the 'pastebinit' command | 01:51 |

| MaT-dg | felix-da-catz: no how do I do that? | 01:52 |
| storrgie | jrib: thanks buddy :D | 01:53 |

| Gnea | natalie: well, I've had some systems to some weird things before too, and whenever I told the IRQ table to re-wire itself, the problem usually goes away. you can modify this behavior by adding pci=routeirq to your bootup sequence, either at the grub commandline or in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, usually after the "quiet splash" bit | 02:28 |
| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: Also, you might be able to set it on your router, but I have only seen one router that allows that to happen. | 02:28 |
| outbri | kingsofleon: yep | 02:28 |

| n8tuser | jzitt-> that includes the /home.. at 8gb you have ample space for two os | 02:47 |
| lianimator | Miesco: maybe those packages are not installed in Intrepid. | 02:47 |
| felix-da-catz | mat-dg: make sure you just use root/password. | 02:47 |
| fallore | jzitt: it seems to me (and this may be presumptuous) that you could just move files onto the USB drive or download the iso onto the usb and burn it | 02:47 |

| billybigrigger | im having these random crashes since my fresh 8.10 install...before it was every couple of hours, then someone here told me to disable pulseaudio in my system/preferences/sound, nothing had pulseaudio selected, all where AUTO or ALSA, so i changed them all to ALSA, and my system ran for 10 hours before a random lockup, when they happen I have no keyboard function, cant restart gnome, nothing except my CAPS lock flashes...now | 02:54 |
| billybigrigger | I looked back to my /var/log/messages just before the crash and its nothing but -- MARK -- and in my dmesg I can't see anything thats causing the crash, can someone lend a hand and tell me where I should be looking, I really want to track this down and find out whats causing these random crashes | 02:54 |

| ubottu | Spaz926: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:05 |

| izzy200198 | have a dualboot win xp and Ubuntu 8.04 PC. I upgraded to 8.10 via internet. After rebooting I noticed the cd/dvd drive is missing in ubuntu. Only showing hard drives. I rebooted and from the GRUB menu selected the previous kernal. cd/dvd shows and works just fine as before the upgrade. Rebooted again to new kernal and once again the cd/dvd player is missing. Anyone know how to resolve this? | 03:07 |
| scunizi | CardiacKid, does that mean it's not an nvidia? | 03:07 |

| yosyp | if i removed gnome, i just do apt-get install update to get up to date with security . . .should i upgrade to 8.10? | 03:09 |
| scunizi | CardiacKid, yea.. it's much more difficult getting dual monitors working when it's not an nvidia.. I'm not sure what to do with the sis grapics.. xorg is the right spot though. | 03:09 |

| Spaz926 | Tuxedo_08-09: what is your problem? | 03:14 |

| nizar | tripitakit: yeah that one thanks | 03:16 |
| thompa | c0mp13371331337: they did in hardy, makes me think its a browser issue | 03:16 |
| gaelfx | xorlim: I believe it's the http protocol for accessing filesystems of type gvfs | 03:16 |
| gaelfx | juniecho: er, I'm not too sure, but you COULD do that for each filetype | 03:17 |
| gaelfx | juniecho: lemme check though | 03:17 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | . | 03:17 |

| gaelfx | juniecho: rhythmbox, but I really don't like totem because of it's video handling, not it's music playing | 03:17 |
| thompa | c0mp13371331337: on firefox32 I get those without sound but the pulseadio fix does not work either. | 03:17 |

| centaur5 | Did Intrepid change some of the variables that are used in a preseed file? | 03:18 |

| zerothis | I'd like to make our organization's computers act enough like other operating systems that volunteers are not scared away from operating them. Similar look, same shortcut keys, menu layout, similar names for it all ("Stuff" menu instead of Start Menu, Contortion Panel, Finger instead of Finder, etc). I know how to do all that, but, can I then setup several "new user profiles", one themed mac, one themed XP, one themed vista. Th | 03:30 |

| Spaz926 | tripitakit: what do I do for the domain? | 03:34 |
| rww | zerothis: yeah, I think so, since it's a GConf manager. If you don't want to use Gnome, I guess it wouldn't work for you | 03:34 |
| tripitakit | wandana, i think packages.ubuntu.com | 03:34 |
| CardiacKid | I've edited my x/config file and when i remote in I still only get 800x600 max resolution. Any other ways to force a resolution? | 03:34 |
| kgod | zerothis: I'd set that up as an admin feature. Ask the user what their desktop pref is, say, Windows or OS X. xfce4 is likely a better choice for themeable desktop as it does both osx and vista decorations | 03:34 |

| tripitakit | Spaz926, which domain? | 03:35 |
| kgod | zerothis: a template of configs, copied to the user's home dir via a script at acct creation, is likely your best bet. | 03:35 |

| CardiacKid | kgod: yep. When I had a monitor plugged in, it was ok. | 03:45 |
| FAJ | dominik1: ok then you should just have to install aticonfig and it would install the other right packages for your card... does it say what it is trying to install? | 03:45 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: vncviewer has an argument for display size. 'vncviewer -g <geometry> remotehost:display' or something like that. RTFM. | 03:45 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | Calvino: i mean... how do i get the vlc launcher to go to my desktop? | 03:45 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: OK. That has *nothing* to do with the graphics card or X config on the remote host. | 03:45 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: In fact you don't even need an X server, just VNCserver. | 03:46 |
| tripitakit | wandana, in synaptic | 03:46 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: ... which has its own virtual X server. | 03:46 |

| FAJ | dominik1: ok, ya normally it is good to update your system ;) | 03:46 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | Calvino: alright, thanks a lot! | 03:46 |
| kgod | zerothis: I'd script up the configuration, maybe have a web-based tool to set it up, or have a first-time session which presented the user with a UI configuration choice, copied in the appropriate configs, booted 'em out of X, then restarted them. | 03:46 |

| dominik1 | FAJ: this happened when I tryed to activate ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver | 03:47 |

| FAJ | dominik1: ? | 03:47 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: I'm a n00b, can you tell? | 03:48 |
| zerothis | kgod: but can xubuntu simulate the mac menu bar like gnome, the vista wigets like KDE, all the keyboard shortcuts, the different menu layouts? Once they are booted to desktop, they'll be using the same 10 or so applications usually, so that part will be simple. | 03:48 |
| dominik1 | FAJ: yes? | 03:48 |
| FAJ | dominik1: it's because you have another instance of synaptic/ aptitude/apt-get running | 03:48 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | Calvino: im afraid ill have to bother you again =\ alright so the installation is complete (according to the terminal) so how did you say i was to access the VLC player? | 03:48 |
| kgod | PATX: Dual boot install is nontrivial. You're going to need a partition editor (gparted is good) and you're going to have to do some reading. No I won't walk you through it. Backing up your HD is a *VERY* good idea. | 03:48 |
| FAJ | dominik1: or because you are not sudo | 03:48 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: How are you starting vnc now? | 03:48 |
| calvino | Tuxedo_08-09, /usr/bin/vlc, or just "vlc" | 03:48 |

| Tuxedo_08-09 | Calvino: i do this in the terminal? | 03:49 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Tuxedo_08-09: There should be a menu entry for it under Sound and Video, as well. | 03:49 |
| djhash | Tuxedo_08-09: Applications -> Sound & video -> VLC | 03:49 |
| tripitakit | wandana, in synaptic -> status button (i guess i'm using italian version) | 03:49 |
| kgod | zerothis: It's configurable, yes. There are a few desktops that specifically emulate a Windows desktop. Most of them are based on icewm or fvwm2 IIRC. | 03:49 |
| calvino | Tuxedo_08-09, you can also run vlc in the background by adding a "&" at the end of the command like this: "vld &" | 03:49 |
| calvino | vlc* | 03:49 |
| FAJ | dominik1: don't become root, just start your commands with sudo. so sudo apt-get install <package-name> | 03:49 |
| calvino | Tuxedo_08-09, yes | 03:49 |
| FAJ | !sudo | dominik1 | 03:49 |
| ubottu | dominik1: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 03:49 |
| kgod | zerothis: I find that explicitly emulating Windows _isn't_ all that great an idea as you have the near valley effect. It's close, but not quite there. | 03:49 |
| kgod | zerothis: But see what works for you. | 03:49 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | Oh thanks everyone that replied! You especially for walking me through this Calvino | 03:49 |
| tripitakit | wandana, --> installed --> u select the package u want to lock ... | 03:49 |
| Ashfire908 | Is the tabbed natuils a ubuntu-specific feature or upstream? | 03:50 |
| dominik1 | FAJ: i got to the hardware driver window by going to System -> Admin -> ... I did NOT use the terminal | 03:50 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: client side. I have an xp pro laptop ond vista desktop. Neither vnc client has display resolution options. Shoudl they? | 03:50 |
| kgod | zerothis: I'd ordinarially have said "just run KDE and set a Windows-like theme", but trying out KDE4 for the first time here it really is ass. | 03:50 |
| tripitakit | wandana, then click on Package menu and Lock version | 03:50 |
| Doji | Ashfire908: upstream, part of Gnome | 03:50 |
| FAJ | dominik1: ok well is it working now? | 03:50 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: Sec... | 03:50 |
| Ashfire908 | Doji, ok, sweet | 03:50 |
| calvino | Tuxedo_08-09, no problem ;) | 03:50 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: OK, two thoughts. I think you may have to set it up server side with a VNC session or VNC server config file. | 03:50 |
| djhash | !wtf | kgod | 03:51 |
| ubottu | kgod: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:51 |
| YeTr2 | so, when will ubuntu provide a 64bit enabled kernel for usage by 32bit systems like debian does now? | 03:51 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | Alright here i have another question. Is there any way i can password protect specific files? | 03:51 |
| dominik1 | FAJ: no, I have not tryed to do it through the terminal (I dont know how) | 03:51 |
| Genius314 | Does anyone know where the files for keyboard layouts are? (They used to be in something like /etc/X11/xkb/symbols) | 03:51 |
| wandana | tripitakit: Ohhh, sweet | 03:51 |
| flakeparadigm | Hello | 03:51 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: ... also, if you can find a remote desktop _server_ for Linux, you can run remote desktop which wins on a number of counts. | 03:51 |
| FAJ | dominik1: pm? | 03:51 |
| wandana | tripitakit: Thank you very much! | 03:51 |
| dominik1 | FAJ: how? | 03:51 |
| kgod | djhash: wups | 03:51 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Tuxedo_08-09: You can change the permissions so that only root can access them. See 'man chmod' and 'man chown'. | 03:51 |
| tripitakit | wandana, hope u'll find the way | 03:51 |
| dominik1 | FAj: this is the first time useing pigin? | 03:52 |
| Christianx | hola | 03:52 |
| Christianx | como estan | 03:52 |

| wandana | tripitakit: yes, yes, I just did it, you've been very helpful! | 03:52 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Tuxedo_08-09: This can be done with entire directories, as well. | 03:52 |

| Spaz926 | tripitakit: how to fix? | 03:54 |
| dotblank | no | 03:54 |
| c0mp13371331337 | CardiacKid: Does the Vino VNC Server not suit your needs? It's already built into Ubuntu and is pretty configurable. I even find it to be faster than most VNC servers. | 03:54 |
| tripitakit | Spaz926, enable access to the web root dir | 03:54 |
| imaw | gud day everyone, pls help, im using CRUNCHBANG Linux on my machine, the reason is that my machine has a lower hardware spec.. the problem is , when i open my Totem Media Player, it will automatically close,, anybody can give an idea so that i can fixed this problem.. thank you very much | 03:54 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: I've got a hardy install here and it doesn't have a VNC server installed AFAICT. | 03:55 |
| c0mp13371331337 | b33r: At the moment, pidgin is using about 50 megs on mine. Then again, I'm only on #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic. | 03:55 |
| CardiacKid | c0mp13371331337: it's great. only I'm only gettign 800x600 screen resolution through it. | 03:55 |
| tripitakit | imaw, dunno CRUNCHb. linux sorry... | 03:55 |
| b33r | c0mp13371331337, I only use it for msn and yahoo not irc and atm it's using 160MB :P so I think something is wrong | 03:56 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | How do i configure my printer so that anyone connected on my network can print from it? | 03:56 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: 'vncconfig' may be the command you want. | 03:56 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: idk ? 2 say. it was there and I'm vnc'd in. | 03:56 |
| djhash | c0mp13371331337: b33r: I'm using Konversation and i'm in 6 channels.. plus 2 tabs for two server connections and has been running for more then 48 hours.. and only 13.8MB?!!! | 03:57 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: vncconfig did not work... hmmm. | 03:57 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: Some of this stuff is getting fancy. 'apropos vnc' or 'dpkg --get-selections | grep vnc' should give a clue. | 03:57 |
| c0mp13371331337 | CardiacKid: Hmmmm.... That'd odd. I've got a 3200x1200 desktop, and it's always given me the entire thing, even when connecting from a 1600x1200 single-monitor system; it just scrolls around. What resolution is the server-machine set to? | 03:57 |
| wandana | Anyone here who had luck to connect his nokia phone to ubuntu? I've a E60 and it is not supported by wammu. Is there an alternative? | 03:57 |

| Tuxedo_08-09 | How do i configure my printer so that anyone connected on my network can print from it? | 03:57 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: Do you have a 'vncserver' command on the Ubuntu box? | 03:58 |
| Genius314 | Compiz-Fusion isn't giving me transparency on my window borders... I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 9800. It's probably a driver issue, because it used to work in 8.04, even with the Git version of Compiz. | 03:58 |
| b33r | djhash, so there's definitely a problem with mine :/ | 03:58 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: 'vncserver -geometry WxH' should be what you want. | 03:58 |
| Doji | c0mp13371331337: b33r : djhash : my pidgin's only using 19mb. | 03:58 |

| mwilson_ | setting up the new QT Creator... where the heck to I point it to find the QT4 package? | 03:59 |
| mwilson_ | Side Bar - can display the Projects, Bookmarks, Opened Documents, or File System. | 03:59 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: Those are shell commands. 'apropos' searches for patterns in manual page descriptions (and may show VNC-related commands or at least manpages). dpkg can list installed packages. | 03:59 |
| PATX | can some other than kgod help me partition my hard disc? | 03:59 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | node367: whats the problem mate? | 03:59 |
| dubby | he left | 03:59 |
| dubby | :-/ i never saw his question lol | 03:59 |

| natalie | is there anybody who can help me find out what it is that I need to install to get vmware running on my pc? | 04:00 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: OK. So do I now. How did you start the vnc *server* session initially? Or did you? | 04:00 |
| Tuxedo_08-09 | mwilson_:yes? | 04:00 |
| mwilson_ | need to know where to point QT Creator to find the QT libraries/headers in Ubuntu 8.10 | 04:00 |
| roukoun | hi all | 04:00 |
| c0mp13371331337 | natalie: Have you downloaded the VMWare package? IIRC, that's all I ever needed. That and the stupid serial key. | 04:01 |
| mwilson_ | or is it not installed by default? | 04:01 |
| kgod | natalie: http://www.vmware.com/ | 04:01 |
| djhash | PATX: no one can take responsibility, in walking you through the partition.. its a risk you have to take alone.. we can recommend softwares to use.. but it will be upto you to use them.. | 04:01 |
| kgod | PATX: ... which is what I'm trying to tell you as well. | 04:01 |
| Petester | hi... can anyone help me with my wireless driver? | 04:01 |

| mwilson_ | rww thanks | 04:02 |
| Petester | i have a AR242x, I followed a guide and installed madwifi, worked properly yesterday, but not today | 04:02 |
| kgod | djhash: I already strongly recommended reading the install manual (which I think will automatically handle dual boot), backups, and partition editors. | 04:02 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: I didn't. I just start the machine and vnc in with machine name 'server' | 04:02 |

To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl." And then I run it and it happens again. | 04:02 |

| ldiamond | My networking is down. It worked fine last time I used it but now I cant connect. (I'm connected to another router now, but the router is fine.) | 04:03 |
| CardiacKid | c0mp13371331337: host machine is set to 800x600. that's the highest option I get. | 04:04 |
| FAJ | Petester: is the card enabled in system>administration>hardware devices? | 04:04 |
| kgod | natalie: that's a non-supported third-party package. VMWare's website is going to be where you should go for info. There's a *very* unofficial #vmware channel here, I wouldn't recommend it. | 04:04 |
| cowbellemoo | Pelo, try the community-themes package in synaptic | 04:04 |
| Pelo | Ashnal, start with the forum do a search on your hardware model www.ubuntofurums.org | 04:04 |
| kgod | djhash: Nore i. | 04:04 |
| Pelo | cowbellemoo, I'll give it a shot | 04:04 |
| ldiamond | Anyone know how I can get the log of what's failing when I try to connect to my router? | 04:04 |
| kgod | djhash: My point was that he wouldn't even RTFM. | 04:04 |
| natalie | kgod: thanks | 04:04 |
| c0mp13371331337 | CardiacKid: Ah, then it's not so much a Vino issue as it is a general xorg issue. | 04:04 |
| kgod | natalie: It's been a while since I've futzed w/ VMWare. Would probably try KVM if I was doing anything now. | 04:04 |
| rww | mwilson_: i think they're in the libqt4-dev package, which puts header files in /usr/include/qt4/Qt/ and libraries in /usr/lib/. Try those paths.\ | 04:04 |
| === Riffage- is now known as Riffage | ||

| natalie | kgod: is KVM better? | 04:05 |
| cowbellemoo | Pelo, or just search synaptic for "dust" | 04:05 |
| CardiacKid | c0mp13371331337: idk about that. I went that route and it didn't work. | 04:05 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: 'ps waux | grep [v]ncs' shows what for a commandline? | 04:05 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, i'm looking for the driver that card uses | 04:05 |
| kgod | natalie: It's open source and I think it's packaged for Ubuntu... | 04:05 |
| djhash | !info kvm | 04:05 |

| Ashnal | tripitakit: its the rt2870 drivers | 04:05 |
| kgod | natalie: yes. | 04:05 |
| mwilson_ | Oh, so it's not installed yet. Ok, that works then. I'll just install the pre-release of 4.5 | 04:05 |
| natalie | kgod: I will give it a try then... will it run windows though? | 04:06 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone tell me where I can find the log of my wired connection? It fails to connect to my router. | 04:06 |
| kgod | natalie: I also believe it supports most of the mainstream OSs OOTB, though truth to tell one reason I'd like to play with it is to find out ;-) | 04:06 |
| mwilson_ | rww thanks again. QT Creator seems like a nice dev environment.. simple.. good to bring in new proggy guys | 04:06 |
| kgod | natalie: I *think* it does, but don't hold me to that. | 04:06 |
| Pelo | ldiamond, have you looked at /var/log ? | 04:06 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, su u installed the driver ? | 04:06 |
| rww | mwilson_: yeah, I've been thinking of getting into QT development, so I was interested to know the answer to your question too :) | 04:06 |
| c0mp13371331337 | CardiacKid: Well, VNC servers in general simply display whatever's on the host screen. So if the host screen is 800x600, that's what you'll see when you VNC in. If your hardware (graphics card and monitor) are capable of going higher, but there's no option to go higher, something needs to be reconfigured on the graphics end of things. | 04:06 |
| zerothis | well, I got enough to keep me busy for now I'd best get too it | 04:06 |
| Ashnal | I have the official RaLink native linux drivers installed, but there is no network connection recognized | 04:07 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: 'ps waux | grep [v]ncs' did nothing in command line. | 04:07 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: Hrm. | 04:07 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, ifconfig lists a wlan? | 04:07 |
| Ashnal | I added rt2870sta into modprobe.d | 04:07 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: You should be able to fire up a new session and connect to it. Just note that it will not be display 0 (or 1 if numbering starts at 1) on the host. | 04:08 |
| Ashnal | ifcongif lists my ethernet as eth0 my built in wireless card as wlan0 and lo | 04:08 |
| CardiacKid | comp133713311337: so t seems, but x/config did nothing to change resolution options. | 04:08 |
| Ashnal | *ifconfig | 04:08 |
| kgod | natalie: My last few experiments w/ VMWare on Linux have generally lead to kernel problems, so this doesn't suprise me too much. | 04:08 |

| tripitakit | Ashnal, and the driver is loaded (lsmod lists it'?) | 04:09 |
| kgod | natalie: ... Xen is another option, and Windows *does* run so long as you have an XP-enabled CPU, which is pretty standard for the past year or two. | 04:09 |
| Ashnal | yes | 04:09 |
| ldiamond | Can someone tell me why my eth0 is now suddenly eth1 ? | 04:09 |
| Ashnal | tripitakit: yeah its listed | 04:09 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: you may have lost me. fire up a new session? I'm on client side xp pro right now. do I open a new vnc sindow? | 04:09 |
| natalie | kgod: thanks for all of the help. I will look in to those options | 04:09 |
| c0mp13371331337 | CardiacKid: Yeah, I've never had much luck with those auto-config commands when it comes to Xorg. Back when I had an ATI card, I had to manually configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand. Now that I've got my NVidia 8800, it's simple with the nvidia-settings package. What type of card do you have? | 04:09 |
| kgod | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: The alternate install should provide the option to fully wipe your current HD. Just RTFM for that distro's installer. | 04:09 |
| mwilson_ | rww it's really a wonderful package. serial port support sucks donkey, but it's a great thing. | 04:09 |
| rww | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: download an ISO from http://archlinux.org/download/ (if you have fast internet, get the FTP one, not Core) and read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide or http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide. Then, stop trolling. | 04:09 |

| CardiacKid | kgod, comp133713311337: i'll remond you that I did not have this issue when I had a monitor plugged in. only when I took it off the machine and went headless. | 04:13 |
| c0mp13371331337 | CardiacKid: Could have been edited incorrectly then. Many men have perished attempting to edit xorg.conf by hand. Perseverance is usually only rewarded by a lower resolution and/or color settings. Took me about a week of editing, several hours a day, to get it working with my old ATI. | 04:13 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, ifdown, take it don | 04:13 |
| tripitakit | *down | 04:13 |
| Ashnal | tripitakit: oh, why cant both be active at the same time? | 04:13 |
| stickfu | How do I play quicktime videos in firefox on ubuntu, ie from the apple movie trailers site | 04:13 |
| kgod | bullgard4: That was somewhat tongue in cheek. In linux context it means to run background w/ stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected. Generally applies to services. | 04:13 |
| mwilson_ | holy crap.. McCain is just ahead in 4 out of 6 of the tight states... | 04:13 |
| mwilson_ | wow. | 04:13 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, i really dont know if im right it just a thinnking | 04:14 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: yeah, yeah. | 04:14 |
| rww | !offtopic | mwilson_ | 04:14 |
| ubottu | mwilson_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:14 |
| xMatiasx | Weird Question: Does anyone know why MBR magic numbers are: AA55 ? | 04:14 |
| bullgard4 | kgod: What you have outlined could have been implemented using a configuration file as well. And this with taking much less resources. So I do not accept your statement. | 04:14 |
| roukoun | actually i have lost the /etc/sysconfig from my filesystem and i cant edit my connection but surprisingly i can access the internet. what can i do to bring it back? | 04:14 |
| Ashnal | tripitakit: how would i reenable my built in card if i disable it using ifdown? | 04:14 |
| kgod | bullgard4: ?? | 04:14 |
| CardiacKid | c0mp13371331337: I'll ask a developer at work. see what he thing of my vconfig work. I'm pretty sure I had it right. | 04:14 |
| mwilson_ | lol. | 04:14 |
| xorlim | Ashnal: ifup | 04:14 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, ifup | 04:14 |
| Pe1o | ldiamond, I was just relating my own experience, regardless it's not much of an issue unless you need to manualy edit a bunch of config files to match , like conky in my case | 04:14 |
| mwilson_ | is that automated? | 04:14 |
| Ashnal | tripitakit: so "sudo ifdown wlan0" | 04:15 |
| c0mp13371331337 | CardiacKid: Ah, headless.... That COULD be the problem. X is expecting to auto-detect the type of monitor and give specific resolutions based on that, and when it fails to see the monitor, it defaults to a low resolution for accessibility. | 04:15 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, should take wlan0 down | 04:15 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: thanks for your help. I trust you are on the right track. maybe I'll deal with the 800x600 for now and look into the problem on my own a bit. | 04:15 |
| Ashnal | tripitakit: if i did that would the usb adapter become wlan0? | 04:15 |
| bullgard4 | kgod: To put here in IRC two question marks is simply uneducated. It does not help in any way except for polluting. | 04:15 |
| xorlim | should I remove my bluetooth packages installed in ibex, because I do not need them currently? | 04:15 |
| kgod | roukoun: /etc/sysconfig is a RH feature IIRC. You mean /etc/network/interfaces? | 04:15 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone tell me how to save an encode file in terminal on 8.04? | 04:15 |
| werdnus | Hmmm... What's the best practice for having an encrypted drive? | 04:15 |
| tripitakit | Ashlan , not sure but u check pluggin it in | 04:16 |
| werdnus | Entering a passphrase on-boot seems like a hassle - it'd be nice if my disk was decrypted whenever I logged-in. | 04:16 |
| werdnus | or something like that. | 04:16 |
| kgod | bullgard4: Shorthand for I don't understand. | 04:16 |
| ldiamond | Pe1o, but if it randomly changes like that, its kind of an annoyance. | 04:16 |
| roukoun | kgod : yes... you are right! i meant the /etc/network/interfaces | 04:16 |
| toastedmilk | Can anyone tell me how to save an encode file in terminal on 8.04? | 04:16 |
| CardiacKid | comp133713311337: I thoguht the same but can not figure out how to fix. | 04:16 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone explain to me why my eth0 is now eth1? | 04:16 |
| mwilson_ | well, so far I'm liking 8.10. Few quirks... but nice. | 04:16 |
| cowbellemoo | Pelo, maybe try https://launchpad.net/dusttheme/0.2/0.2 (/shrug) | 04:17 |
| Pe1o | ldiamond, I think I heard someone mentionn something similar when going from wifi to cabled and back | 04:17 |
| bullgard4 | kgod: I see but you did not tell me what you did not understand. | 04:17 |
| mwilson_ | toastedmilk what do you mean by encoded? | 04:17 |
| werdnus | !crypt | werdnus | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about crypt | 04:17 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, u did somethng? | 04:17 |
| toastedmilk | I used the command | 04:17 |
| toastedmilk | ... | 04:17 |
| Ashnal | tripitakit: if i did that would the usb adapter become wlan0? | 04:17 |
| Pe1o | cowbellemoo, I was mostly looking for someone to tell me I wasn't the only one with this issue | 04:17 |
| alesan | mwilson_: I switched from kubuntu to ubuntu 8.10; the KDE4 thing is HORRIBLE | 04:17 |
| tripitakit | Ashlan | 04:17 |
| rww | mwilson_: me too :). Much better compatibility with my (new) hardware, and the f/oss replacements for flash and fglrx are getting to the point where I can disable the restricted/multiverse repos :D | 04:17 |
| FAJ | !truecrypt | werdnus | 04:17 |
| ubottu | werdnus: Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume | 04:17 |
| toastedmilk | I used the command "vim encode" after moving to "cd /bin" to build a script | 04:18 |
| bender1337 | hi when i try to play d2 on ubuntu i get out of range H: 81.3 khz and v: 65.0hz | 04:18 |
| rww | alesan: I tried using KDE4 recently. It and I don't get along well :( | 04:18 |
| cowbellemoo | Pelo, ah. Carry on. | 04:18 |
| * Pe1o goes to icanhascheezburger.com to cheer himself up | 04:18 | |
| alesan | rww: I've always been a KDE advocate, since release 0.9x | 04:18 |
| alesan | but KDE4 is really the WINDOWS VISTA of the linux world | 04:18 |
| mwilson_ | I like K to Gnome... but kde4 needs updating big. qt4.5 will give it a huge performance boost. | 04:18 |
| ldiamond | tripitakit I used wired on a router, then turned on wifi, then shut down the computer, plugged it on another router (wired) and started it. | 04:19 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, u just have to try pluggin the usb in after ifdown wlan0, | 04:19 |
| mwilson_ | what are the biggest improvements/features of ubunto 8.10? | 04:19 |
| alesan | mwilson_: yeah I am not saying it has no future but NOW it is really a mess | 04:19 |
| alesan | it is not for a production environment | 04:19 |
| werdnus | FAJ: That looks a bit hardcore for me. | 04:19 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, changed router... | 04:19 |
| rww | alesan: I used KDE for years, before switching to Gnome for reasons I can't actually remember. KDE4 isn't really an improvement over the KDE I remember, though I may be looking back with rose-tinted spectacles. | 04:19 |
| Ashnal | tripitakit: and if that does not work and i need to re-enable my built in card, how would i do that? | 04:19 |
| FAJ | werdnus: it works ;) | 04:19 |
| toastedmilk | I used the command "vim encode" after moving to "cd /bin" to build a script and now I don't know how to save it. Any help? | 04:19 |
| bender1337 | hi when i try to play d2 on ubuntu i get out of range H: 81.3 khz and v: 65.0hz | 04:19 |
| werdnus | FAJ: It's not that I need to hide the volume. I just want a little bit of extra privacy, without a lot of extra hassle. | 04:19 |
| Pe1o | mwilson_, nothing much that I've notices, most of the stuff is incremental , doesn't need to be flashy | 04:19 |
| ldiamond | tripitakit I connected to a different router yes. | 04:20 |
| tripitakit | Ashnal, i think ifup wlan0 should work | 04:20 |
| alesan | rww: KDE4 is going back years in usability and features, hardly an improvement | 04:20 |
| FAJ | werdnus: there is the ability to do this in 8.10 .... like a private encrypted drive.. | 04:20 |
| FAJ | or folder even | 04:20 |
| Ashnal | tripitakit: okay well ill have to disappear from the channel then | 04:20 |
| werdnus | I'm okay with logging into my account with a password, but a massive passphrase on-boot is a bit annoying. | 04:20 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, with a second configuration | 04:20 |
| xorlim | how do I see what network interfaces I have running? | 04:20 |
| toastedmilk | Does anyone know how to save a vim encode file from terminal in 8.04? | 04:20 |
| Pe1o | I tried to edit crontab and it asked me to select a text editor , now I'm stuck in vi , anyone know how to change that ? | 04:20 |
| alesan | FAJ: how? | 04:20 |
| mwilson_ | I'll dig into it a bit. | 04:20 |
| kgod | bullgard4: Your previous statment prior to ??. Which is clearly too much for you to grok. Forget it. | 04:20 |
| CardiacKid | kgod: thankd again. at least I won't sound as n0bish when I ack questions next time. | 04:20 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: NP. | 04:20 |
| alesan | I've heard of this encrypted thing in 8.10 but... how to use that? | 04:20 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, i mean u have 2 configs for wired connections? | 04:20 |
| kgod | CardiacKid: Sorry, haven't played w/ vnc for a while | 04:21 |
| Pe1o | toastedmilk, have you tried the ever common ctrl_s ? | 04:21 |
| ldiamond | tripitakit 2 configs? | 04:21 |
| rww | alesan: do you happen to know if kde3 is still in the 8.10 repos? I installed kubuntu-desktop a few days ago, but it installed kde4 :( | 04:21 |
| toastedmilk | Pelo, indeed I have. No luck. | 04:21 |
| rww | alesan: and if not, is there a PPA or something? | 04:21 |
| kgod | rww: PPA? | 04:21 |
| FAJ | alesan: werdnus http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/23/encrypted-private-directory-in-ubuntu-810/ | 04:21 |
| xorlim | does ifconfig show all the network interfaces I have currently in use, running? | 04:21 |
| mwilson_ | rww if you have a windows system, they have a complete QT/Creator/MinGW at trolltech.com. Look for the qtCreator test packages. The windows one is all inclusive | 04:21 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, sorry making confusion with saving differnet network setups | 04:22 |
| werdnus | FAJ: thanks | 04:22 |
| Pe1o | xorlim, suppose to | 04:22 |

| toastedmilk | Does anyone know how to save a "vim encode" file from terminal in 8.04? | 04:22 |
| rww | mwilson_: I don't use Windows, sorry. 100% f/oss here :) | 04:22 |
| OddlotX4 | Alright. Question for VLC in Ibex, Radeon 2600XT. The .avi output is flickering, any one else have this problem? | 04:22 |
| raDeon | how do i fix Unknown id: apt-get when i use "su" instead of "sudo" | 04:22 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: WTF is a "vim encode" file? | 04:22 |
| ldiamond | tripitakit Isnt it supposed to simply connect to whatever router I plug it in without problems? | 04:22 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, i think if u reboot it ill come back to eth0 | 04:22 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: "<esc>:wq" saves and quits from vim | 04:22 |
| werdnus | FAJ: that's what I was after | 04:22 |
| rww | raDeon: what exactly are you typing at the command line? | 04:23 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: wq? | 04:23 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, dhcp? | 04:23 |
| alesan | rww: no it is not in the repos, that is the problem... even if I've heard a guy is running some repos with KDE3.5 stuff for 8.10 | 04:23 |
| FAJ | werdnus: i knew i saw it somewhere | 04:23 |
| ldiamond | tripitakit yes | 04:23 |
| bullgard4 | kgod: Impertinent statement. | 04:23 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, yes it will | 04:23 |
| ldiamond | tripitakit I just booted and it turned to eth1 | 04:23 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: :wq is "write-quit" in vim. | 04:23 |
| raDeon | rww: "su apt-get update" | 04:23 |
| go_beep_yourself | anybody like or dislike the DarkRoom theme that's new in Ubuntu 8.10? | 04:23 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, duno why i was thik about static ip | 04:23 |
| raDeon | it does the same thing any time i use "su" in place of "sudo" | 04:23 |
| rww | raDeon: try su -c "apt-get update" | 04:23 |
| OddlotX4 | The problem also persists in diffrent video players, and diffrent video output modes. | 04:23 |
| mwilson_ | that's good too, better in my opinion rww. I'm compiling the new 4.5 now. | 04:23 |
| kgod | bullgard4: You've mistaken me for someone who cares. Drop it. | 04:24 |
| ldiamond | tripitakit oh well, ill see what happens next time | 04:24 |
| raDeon | rww: su: Authentication failure | 04:24 |
| raDeon | even with the right password | 04:24 |
| kgod | raDeon: use sudo, not su | 04:24 |
| tripitakit | ldiamond, sorry have no other ideas right now | 04:24 |
| Anza | I have firefox 3.0.3 installed, which I thought was the last version, why it asks me to upgrade my web browser whenever I try to get to my hotmail account? | 04:24 |
| rww | raDeon: do you have the root account enabled? | 04:24 |
| kgod | raDeon: su to root or su to user? | 04:24 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: "encode" E212: Can't open file for writing | 04:24 |
| raDeon | i used to always use su | 04:24 |
| ldiamond | Can anyone tell me how to make my laptop resume from Suspend mode? The screen always stays black... | 04:24 |
| raDeon | sudo is too much to type | 04:24 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: What command are you issuing? | 04:24 |
| raDeon | and i dont know if i have root account enabled | 04:24 |
| rww | raDeon: I note that "sudo" is shorter than "su -c" | 04:24 |
| OddlotX4 | Alright. Question for VLC in Ibex, Radeon 2600XT. The .avi output is flickering, any one else have this problem? The problem also persists in multiple video output modes, and in diffrent video players. | 04:24 |
| rww | raDeon: it's not enabled by default, so you probably don't. | 04:25 |
| raDeon | i always did "su command" in the past | 04:25 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: :wq after i hit esc to exit edit mode | 04:25 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: And what is "encode"? A command? A filename? Where are you attempting to do this (in what directory)? | 04:25 |
| raDeon | now i do "sudo command" | 04:25 |
| tripitakit | raDeon, default ubuntu hase no root account enabled | 04:25 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: I believe it's a filename | 04:25 |
| raDeon | this is a fresh install of 8.10 and it's like that | 04:25 |
| rww | raDeon: considering that "su command" has never been valid syntax, I don't think you did =/ | 04:25 |
| tripitakit | !sudo | 04:25 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 04:25 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: I'm trying to convert FLAC files to mp3's with a script off of a ubuntu forum | 04:25 |
| raDeon | you're calling me a liar | 04:25 |
| raDeon | that's how i always used it "su command" | 04:25 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Maybe you could back up and tell me how you got here?... What are you trying to do and why are you editing a file with vim if you don't know how to use the editor? | 04:26 |
| alesan | FAJ: that document refers to a 8.10 beta; is it still valid? and how to change the name "Private" to something more meaningful? | 04:26 |
| kgod | raDeon: Ubuntu disables root by default. There is no root account. | 04:26 |
| tripitakit | raDeon, normally u do a su then u are root@host# | 04:26 |
| runemaste | Hey all, ive been trying to boot 8.10 stable server CD and all i get is ata3: srst failed (errno=-16) | 04:26 |
| rww | raDeon: if you're concerned about the length of "sudo", try putting something like "alias s = 'sudo'" in your .bashrc | 04:26 |
| kgod | raDeon: .... or rather, it's not interactively enabled by default. Use sudo instead. | 04:26 |
| runemaste | then I/O errors | 04:26 |
| alesan | FAJ: the ideal thing would be to have an entirely encrypted home | 04:26 |
| rww | raDeon: and yes, since I have man su on my side, I'm saying "su command" doesn't work. | 04:26 |
| tripitakit | raDeon, it's not a good idea but sudo -i do the same | 04:26 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: sudo aptitude install flac, then cd /bin, then vim encode, then a script(want that?), and now here | 04:26 |
| kgod | runemaste: Disk failure or bad controller, I suspect. Google that. | 04:26 |
| raDeon | alright thanks everybody | 04:27 |
| runemaste | and it seems after about 10 minutes it works | 04:27 |
| runemaste | kgod, but it worked in 8.04 a few minutes ago | 04:27 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: OK. You're probably trying to edit a root-owned file as a non-root user? | 04:27 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: 'sudo vim /etc/encode' instead. | 04:27 |
| OddlotX4 | Sorry for repeating myself, but I would like some help, and I know this channel gets a bit flooded at times. Question for VLC in Ibex, Radeon 2600XT.

| runemaste | kgod, it seems alot of people have the same problem | 04:28 |
| kgod | tripitakit: Reminds me of back in the day when Debian shipped with 'ae' as the standard editor for one simple reason. | 04:28 |
| kgod | tripitakit: It was neither emacs nor vi | 04:28 |
| tripitakit | kgod, :D | 04:29 |

| tripitakit | kgod, lol | 04:29 |
| kgod | runemaste: Yeah, noobs eventually get the hang of file perms and users. | 04:29 |
| FSCK_FSCK_FSCK | vi > emacs | 04:29 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: success! whee! | 04:29 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: it's just a matter of mindreading what your problem really is. Congrats. | 04:30 |
| runemaste | kgod, im talking about the IO error :P\ | 04:30 |
| kgod | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: No argument here. | 04:30 |
| kgod | runemaste: Ah. | 04:30 |
| runemaste | but now its hung at de.... | 04:30 |
| runemaste | nope, its going again | 04:30 |
| kgod | runemaste: Sorry, lost context. Try kernel org or lkml for more authoritative stuff. | 04:30 |
| kgod | runemaste: This could be a bad driver or boot config as well. Generally disk messages don't indicate good news, however. | 04:31 |
| tripitakit | i'd better go to bed O~o | 04:31 |

| kgod | toastedmilk: cd 'path to/some directory/with spaces' | 04:35 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Quote the spaces | 04:35 |
| rww | toastedmilk: prefix the " " with a "\", so type e.g. Folder\ Name | 04:35 |
| rww | toastedmilk: or quote the path. Either way works :) | 04:35 |
| toastedmilk | rww: thanks! | 04:35 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: thanks! | 04:35 |
| Doji | phrostbite: is the rest of the panel responsive? | 04:35 |
| tonyyarusso | LF|Irssi: Yes, there have been numerous reports of KompoZer crashes in 8.10. As KompoZer itself has not changed in this release, I currently suspect something about a dependency, but that's about all I know at the moment. | 04:36 |
| phrostbite | Yes the rest of the panel is responsive. It also would seem that if i click directly on the icons its a little off center by about a half inch | 04:36 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: single quotes don't expand shell vars (so '$USER' is literally dollar-USER), "" expands vars, so "$USER" is your userid. \ quotes single characters so file\ with\ space works as does 'file with space' | 04:36 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: And stop putting spaces in your pathnames, it's a bad habit. | 04:36 |
| phrostbite | suck as if i click the network icon the volume shows up since its right next to it | 04:36 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: sorry it's a torrent for Led Zeppelin discog! | 04:37 |
| LF|Irssi_ | lol tonyyarusso i ended up just installing Kompzer for windows via wine, works great that way, Id rather run it nativly but what can you do. | 04:37 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: should've renamed >.< | 04:37 |
| Doji | phrostbite: That's a weird one. If restarts don't work, just keep asking around. | 04:37 |
| kgod | runemaste: Looks as if pata_marvell is a possibly problematic kernel driver. Google shows a post to blacklist it. See:http://forums.fedoraforum.org/printthread.php?t=169283 | 04:37 |
| tonyyarusso | LF|Irssi: That may be the way to go for now, yeah. Hopefully not a long-term solution, but we'll see. (The foundational code gecko-wise and whatnot in KompoZer is super-old.) | 04:38 |
| phrostbite | OK Doji, I will have a look around the support forums as well. | 04:38 |
| umanx | The VLC full screen controls come up no more. The option is enabled in preferences ?? | 04:38 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: aptitude install mrename | 04:38 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: ... allows bulk file renames based on a regex. I usually swap '-' or '_' for space in filenames, OrJustUseStudlyCaps. | 04:38 |
| phrostbite | Would you happen to know how i can configure the front controls on my laptop to play the music as well as pause it? I am using amarok media player :) | 04:39 |
| umanx | did a clean reinstall to no avail. | 04:39 |
| OddlotX4 | umanx: Are you talking to me? | 04:39 |
| kgod | phrostbite: there are a couple of laptop hotkeys packages, take a look at 'em. | 04:39 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: Thanks for the advice, I think I'll go with the caps. I always had a thing for proper nouns! o.O haha Another question..If I have a vim script and now want to run it, how do I? | 04:39 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: The forum said to just type the filename encode, it isn't working. | 04:39 |
| phrostbite | Would that be in the settings for the player or for the system? | 04:39 |
| umanx | OddlotX4: if you can help | 04:39 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Um. You mean script you created w/ vim? | 04:39 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: vim <filename>; chmod +x <filename>; ./filename | 04:40 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: I already chmod +x'd it | 04:40 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: ... which is to say: edit file. Make it executable. Execute it (explicitly specifying the current directory). | 04:40 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: ./filename to run? | 04:40 |
| LF|Irssi_ | what's better vim or nano? | 04:41 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Yeah. That says '.' (current directory) /filename. Your $PATH should *not* include '.' as it's a really bad security hole waiting to happen. | 04:41 |
| werdnus__ | woo! I managed to start the installer from PXE | 04:41 |
| FAJ | !better | 04:41 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 04:41 |
| werdnus__ | LF|Irssi_: depends on who you ask. | 04:41 |
| Prez00 | i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, i don't see Private folder, whre do i manage encryption stuff? | 04:41 |
| phrostbite | Anywho thanks for the push in the right direction. | 04:41 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: BadGuy dumps a nasty script somewhere on yoru system and waits for you to exec it by accident when you're in some directory (say, /tmp). | 04:41 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: alright. The script isn't working. Any idea on how to convert .Flac to .mp3? | 04:42 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Dunno. There's some audio converters. I haven't messed with them. | 04:42 |
| zackeroo | Firefox in Hardy crashes quiet often when attempting to view YouTube video content ... please help | 04:42 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: grip or audacity would be where I'd look. If you want a scripted solution, I really don't know. | 04:43 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: kk. now when you say my $PATH doesn't include '.' meaning I shouldn't be in the same path as the file? | 04:43 |
| scunizi | zackeroo, do you have more than one flash protocol installed? like flash nonfree and gnash? | 04:43 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: $PATH is what your shell uses to find executables. Usually: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin | 04:43 |
| zackeroo | scunizi : no | 04:43 |
| scunizi | zackeroo, which do you have installed? | 04:44 |
| zackeroo | scunizi : sometimes it plays just fine ... but it also crashes quiet a lot | 04:44 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: If '.' is in there as well (say: /usr/bin:/bin:.), then any executable in whatever directory you're in can also be implicitly executed. | 04:44 |
| russ | anyone here? | 04:44 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: If someone creates an 'ls' command that does something nasty, you could invoke it by mistake. | 04:44 |
| scunizi | zackeroo, did you upgrade to hardy or fresh install | 04:44 |
| zackeroo | scunizi : fresh install | 04:45 |
| russ | can some one help me get compiz working on Ibex? | 04:45 |
| scunizi | zackeroo, and did you install any additional plugins to firefox? | 04:45 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: How many files are you trying to convert? | 04:45 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: i dunno, a few hundred | 04:45 |
| zackeroo | scunizi : I have flashplugin-nonfree | 04:45 |
| dwees | anyone have a link to the "last word" on configuring screen resolution in Ubuntu 8.10? | 04:45 |

| toastedmilk | kgod: I'm checking out grip now, I deleted the script | 04:45 |
| kwak | hi i'm having trouble having my installation access the internet. | 04:46 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: google 'linux convert flac to mp3' turns up a tutorial as first link | 04:46 |
| scunizi | zackeroo, that's from the repos.. what I mean is specific FF oriented plugins/themes etc.. from mozilla's site | 04:46 |
| kwak | i can ping the gateway, but can't ping any websites | 04:46 |
| Doji | russ: if you have a nvidia card, the drivers don't work with the new xorg yet. I hear there are beta drivers available, but I haven't tried them. | 04:46 |
| b33r | zackeroo, in firefox link type about:plugins just to make sure you only have macromedia flash installed | 04:46 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: http://www.linuxtutorialblog.com/post/solution-converting-flac-to-mp3 | 04:46 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: how do you install a tar.gz file after extracting it? | 04:46 |
| zackeroo | scunizi : yes I have other plugins installed for forefox | 04:46 |
| russ | Doji: where can I get the beta's? | 04:47 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: flac and lame are the packages you want. I'd use xargs to run the command since you've got spaces in filenames. | 04:47 |
| geremy | hey all, gnome is not starting for me under Intrepid, any ideas? It pretty much stalls at a brown screen, although besides that its responsive | 04:47 |
| Doji | russ: I'm not sure. Google around. It'll probably be on ubuntuforums.org too. | 04:47 |
| toastedmilk | I have lame 3.98 and I installed the flac package from terminal | 04:47 |
| scunizi | zackeroo, you might try disableing them all except flash .. try to duplicate the conditions of the crash and see what happens.. if all works enable each plugin one at a time, test and see which is giving you problems. | 04:47 |
| kwak | i manually edited /etc/network/interfaces | 04:47 |
| russ | thx dude :) | 04:47 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: I have lame 3.98 and I installed the flac package from terminal | 04:47 |
| Doji | no problem. | 04:47 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: tar xzvf <tarfile>. Careful where you do that as it will overwrite stuff, make sure you're where you want to be. 'tar tvzlf <tarfile>' to list contents. | 04:47 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: You should be golden then. Read that link. | 04:48 |

| zackeroo | I am forced to use Kopete in Ubuntu becasue Pidgin is broken ... and I REALLY want to use Pidgin ... | 04:49 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: There are some tools which let you read tarballs directly. The one I like is 'mc', which lets you treat a tarball as a virtual filesystem. | 04:49 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: console app, very, very useful. | 04:49 |

| zackeroo | broken | 04:49 |

| Ashnal | geremy: the light is on | 04:49 |

| webman | werdnus: use a tftp client ? | 04:52 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: NB: since flac is a lossless encoding, the MP3s *should* be pretty good quality. Generally recoding between compressed (and lossy) formats isn't very successful. | 04:52 |

| zackeroo | Uplink: what does that do? | 04:56 |
| b33r | zackeroo, worth a try :/ | 04:56 |
| rww | dubby: since the foldername starts with a period, it's hidden in file managers sometimes, so you might have to type it in manually in e.g. nautilus | 04:56 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: ... modulo some quoting issues. That's the sort of thing you want to test firs.t | 04:56 |
| Uplink | zackeroo: that debugs it, try it | 04:56 |
| zackeroo | really what I want to do is get it working like it should ... | 04:56 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: what is modulo? | 04:56 |
| geremy | ashnal: well, my wireless knowledge isn't up-to-date, but that's one of the ones that used to require ndiswrapper | 04:57 |
| Uplink | zackeroo: zeth, just try it lol | 04:57 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: modulo == should work except for some possible tweaks where it doesn't ;-) | 04:57 |
| Ashnal | geremy: Yes i saw that on the forums, but i found the RaLink driver on their site | 04:57 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Actually, I think the script in the tutorial should work for you. Try it. | 04:57 |
| zackeroo | Uplink: still not working | 04:57 |
| geremy | ashnal: hmm I may be behind the times, but it looks to me like its behind on the kernel, probably written for .24 | 04:58 |
| Uplink | zackeroo: ok try pidgin -n | 04:58 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: The script in the tutorial is french to me. When I tried to copy-paste it, it didn't work | 04:58 |

| toastedmilk | kgod: first week of ubuntu | 04:58 |

| streenz | sorry I mean will it work with gnome | 04:58 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: syntax error near token `do' | 04:59 |
| TiMiDo | kgod, that sucks | 04:59 |
| b33r | zackeroo, you should try building it from source | 04:59 |
| kgod | TiMiDo: Ubuntu has regularly scheduled releases, not stable/testing/unstable branches. | 04:59 |
| usser | streenz, sure it will but since its a kde app it will install tons of libraries with it | 04:59 |
| geremy | ashnal: yeah, had a problem with the 2860 on the Eee PC. Probably best to use ndiswrapper | 04:59 |
| TiMiDo | oh okey | 04:59 |
| Uplink | like b33r suggested | 04:59 |
| zackeroo | Uplink: so I uninstall it from Synaptic .. and then wht? | 04:59 |
| geremy | ashnal: there' | 04:59 |
| Uplink | zackeroo: oh no no! thats the problem... u need to purge it | 04:59 |
| Ashnal | geremy: ndiswrapper wont let me use aircrack though ... | 04:59 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: The script assumes you're running it in a directory with files matching *.flac in it. | 04:59 |
| Uplink | zackeroo: ok type this "sudo aptitude remove --purge pidgin" | 05:00 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: How are your flac files arranged? All in one directory, or in multiple directories / a tree? | 05:00 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: mark@ToastedMilk:~/Music/Led Zeppelin-Flac discography$ | 05:00 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: O.o | 05:00 |
| geremy | ashnal: srry bout that, clumsy fingers, there's a patched 2860, you could check and see if maybe some kind soul patched the 2870 for them | 05:00 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: it's a tree | 05:00 |
| streenz | usser: so all KDE-specific apps WILL work under gnome, but require those extra libraries? | 05:00 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: all the albums are in that folder in my path | 05:00 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: How many albums? Lots? | 05:00 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: ten | 05:01 |
| kgod | streenz: yes, the KDE apps will require KDE libs, and likely some KDE services, which are automatically started. | 05:01 |
| usser | streenz, yep the good thing is libraries are shared so once you install certain basic libs you wont have to download that much for kde apps | 05:01 |
| zackeroo | Uplink: ok ... done | 05:01 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: also one txt file | 05:01 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Well... You can run that command ten times in each bottom-level directory. | 05:01 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: I'll give it a shot | 05:01 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: The txt file won't match the *.flac glob. | 05:01 |
| b33r | zackeroo, do sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin | 05:01 |
| streenz | kgod, usser: okay thanks.. I'll try to stay clear of KDE apps then if I can but if I see one I really like I wont worry too much about it not being able to work or sometihng | 05:01 |
| Ashnal | geremy: someone did make a patched 2870 with tentative support for aircrack-ng, however i was unable to get them to work so I resorted to the official drivers to see if they would work | 05:01 |
| webman | how can I paste some error without using a browser? (firefox, links, lynx, are all not working right now :( | 05:01 |
| Uplink | zackeroo: try what b33r just said | 05:01 |
| Ashnal | geremy: would the patched drivers be more likely to work? | 05:02 |
| geremy | ashnal: if you can give me some output on the patched drivers we can give it a go, but yeah- patched is more likely to work | 05:02 |

| geremy | ashnal: keeping in mind that I'm here because I'm *not* a genius | 05:02 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: You could also do a script where you duck into each directory, then run the converter script. If you save the converter as, say, /usr/local/bin/flac2mp3, then you could do (from above all your directories): for dir in *; do cd $dir; /usr/local/bin/flac2mp3; cd ..; done | 05:02 |

| webman | geremy: try deleting (renaming) your home directory: mv /home/user /home/user.bak;mkdir /home/user;chown user.user /home/user | 05:04 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: tried copy-pasting the solution from a sub-folder, I believe they all have other files than just the .flac files | 05:04 |
| b33r | Uplink, yes I know, I hope ubuntu will move to a different messenger soon | 05:04 |
| Uplink | zackeroo: lol yea dude chill down... | 05:04 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: A script is a set of commands saved to a file. | 05:04 |
| amol | hi to all,is there any gui application through which i can configure ip aliasing? | 05:04 |
| geremy | webman: are you serious? | 05:04 |
| Uplink | b33r: nooooo pidgin is great! | 05:04 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: well, I know what a script is. Just not how to write one. I hardly know basic command line | 05:04 |
| b33r | Uplink, hehe =P not really | 05:04 |
| OddlotX4 | Uplink: Agreed, Pidgin pwns all. | 05:04 |
| zackeroo | what was that other messenger mentioned earlier? | 05:05 |
| Uplink | b33r: i love it... i use xchat for IRC | 05:05 |
| OddlotX4 | Trillian maybe? | 05:05 |
| webman | geremy: well, yes... if it works, then you can move stuff back to your live home dir until it works | 05:05 |
| b33r | zackeroo, empathy but it's still new | 05:05 |
| Ashnal | geremy: well after installing the patched drivers http://pastebin.com/m18ab94d4 | 05:05 |
| Uplink | amsn? | 05:05 |
| b33r | Uplink, same here I use xchat for irc too | 05:05 |
| webman | geremy: or you could just test creating a new user and log in as that to see if it works | 05:05 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: a glob "globs" a bunch of files together. '*' matches (as a shell glob) *anything*. If you modify it with some prefix or suffix, it matches anything beginning or ending with that prefix/suffix. So: *.txt == any file ending in .txt. | 05:05 |
| zackeroo | b33r : so not ready for general consumption? | 05:05 |
| geremy | webman: would not have expected that to be needed coming off a clean install, but its no biggie- here goes | 05:05 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: ... which means that with the *.flac, you don't have to worry about other files. | 05:05 |
| Ashnal | geremy: theres no more funny error, but still no interface listed | 05:05 |
| PipFAGGOT | I farted, its yeasty pungent scent took me aback with its succulent sulfur and rotting meat stench | 05:05 |
| zelrikriando | The only thing I dont like about pidgin is the lack of webcam support | 05:05 |
| b33r | zackeroo, you can give it a try if compiling from source wont work | 05:05 |
| PipFAGGOT | most of the smell was absorbed into my couch | 05:06 |
| Uplink | zelrikriando: yea i feel ya man | 05:06 |
| PipFAGGOT | save it for later | 05:06 |
| b33r | zackeroo, the only drawback is that you wouldn't be able to move your logs from pidgin to empathy if you depend so much on logs like me | 05:06 |
| PipFAGGOT | thats the way to be | 05:06 |
| webman | geremy: oh... new install... I missed that... did you format before the install ? | 05:06 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: UNIX Power Tools (O'Reilly book) is a good start. The Linux Documentation Project (http://www.tldp.org/) has a bunch of excellent howtos and guides. | 05:06 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: still getting syntax error near unexpected token `do' | 05:06 |
| geremy | ashnal: k, can you give me the others again as well? | 05:06 |
| geremy | webman: yep- brand new hdd | 05:06 |
| Uplink | dont use trillian please! it suckssss | 05:06 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: pastebin your command and output. | 05:06 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: O'Reilly, like Bill O'Reilly? | 05:06 |
| PipFAGGOT | it does suck | 05:06 |
| keira874 | Hi all, Ive just installed 8.10 and my screen resolution now cant be set, Im completely new to ubuntu......can anyone help me please???? | 05:06 |
| LF|Irssi_ | !emergency PipFAGGOT | 05:06 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:06 |
| geremy | kgod: AWESOME book | 05:07 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: No. Tim. | 05:07 |
| webman | geremy: so it has never worked ? | 05:07 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: kgood xD | 05:07 |
| Ashnal | geremy: they are exactly the same | 05:07 |
| geremy | webman: not once | 05:07 |
| kgod | geremy: Yep, that's the one that put me over the edge. | 05:07 |
| PipFAGGOT | keira874, the channel is called #ubuntu-for-faggots | 05:07 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, how so? | 05:07 |
| webman | geremy: do you get to the login screen, or it dies before that? | 05:07 |
| zelrikriando | PipFAGGOT, watch your language | 05:07 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: UNIX Power Tools, Linux in A Nutshell, and Running Linux are still the three standards I recommend, though Running Linux has gotten a bit dated. | 05:07 |
| geremy | ashnal: yeah, I'm thinking that you're probably going to need to use ndiswrapper then | 05:07 |
| geremy | ashnal: you did modprobe, right? | 05:08 |
| geremy | webman: i get to the login, log in, then brown screen | 05:08 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: Totally not understanding that input I sent you | 05:08 |
| webman | geremy: on the login screen, select the failsafe login option.... | 05:08 |
| OddlotX4 | I feel good about myself. I've got Steam working in Ubuntu. | 05:08 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, can you give a bit more details about what you are trying to do? | 05:08 |
| geremy | webman: its still reponsive, as in, my mouse moves, I can move to other terminals, etc, but nothing | 05:08 |
| webman | geremy: I think the menu is bottom left corner | 05:08 |
| geremy | webman: let me save us some time | 05:08 |
| mabus | is there some licensing issue that prevents citrix from working out of the box on ubuntu, or there even being a repository for the package? you still have to dl it manually in 8.10? lame if not due to legal requirements | 05:08 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: See /msg | 05:08 |
| runemaste | so noone can help with Buffer I/O erorr | 05:08 |
| runemaste | *error | 05:08 |
| keira874 | well i dont seem to have any options to set my screen res like i used to, im using a fujitsu laptop and on 8.04 it gave me the option to set it up for fujitsu, now if i try to change it i get a black screen and have to reisntall ubntu again... | 05:09 |
| werdnus | hmm | 05:09 |
| werdnus | andrew@gcentral_router:~$ tftp 10.35.67.232 | 05:09 |

| FloodBot1 | werdnus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:09 |
| werdnus | that's not supposed to happen. | 05:09 |
| Uplink | OddlotX4: try running CSS in ubuntu | 05:09 |
| geremy | webman: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/291652 | 05:09 |
| OddlotX4 | Uplink: I'll try. | 05:09 |
| OddlotX4 | I'm at the point where I'm downloading CS. | 05:09 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: see /msg | 05:09 |
| Uplink | OddlotX4: try to wine it... -giggles- | 05:09 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, might be a good opportunity to upgrade to 8.10 | 05:09 |
| Ashnal | geremy: yeah. no dice. restart? | 05:09 |
| webman | werdnus: are the files and directories accessible to the user nobody ? (or to ALL) | 05:10 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: For other scripting: you can find shell scripts on the system and look at them, sorting out how they work. Ubuntu/debian shell scripts tend to be more readable than other distros (IMO). 'file /bin/* | 05:10 |
| OddlotX4 | Ok...I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be happening. | 05:10 |
| geremy | mabus: citrix is a very expensive way to do what you can do for free | 05:10 |
| OddlotX4 | Steam is fading to grey. | 05:10 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: file /bin/* | grep -i script | 05:10 |
| geremy | ashnal: might as well, I'm pretty much out of suggestions if that doesn't work | 05:10 |
| Uplink | zelrikriando: 8.10 comes with pidgin 2.5.2 | 05:10 |
| Uplink | its great :D | 05:10 |
| keira874 | im am zelrikriando im sing 8.10 now and that where the problem is | 05:10 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: ... will list shell (and other)_ scripts. Run also in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /sbin | 05:10 |
| webman | geremy: I can't see the link, since my browser isn't working.... I'm supposed to be here to get some help to fix that, but I'm starting to think a new install might be a better idea.... | 05:10 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, oh so you didnt have the problem on 8.04? | 05:10 |
| keira874 | sorry no | 05:11 |
| geremy | webman: firefox isn't working? or something else? | 05:11 |
| keira874 | 8.10 | 05:11 |
| keira874 | thanks for the reply btw | 05:11 |
| webman | geremy: firefox doesn't work, nor does links or lynx | 05:11 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, if it works on 8.04, stick with it,it's a LTS | 05:11 |
| l337ingDisorder | evening ladies and gentlemen, I'm wondering if anyone can explain how I can set up an IPsec VPN in 8.04? | 05:11 |
| geremy | webman: what errors are they giving you? | 05:11 |
| geremy | l337ingDisorder: nice name | 05:11 |
| l337ingDisorder | it's not a Cisco VPN so VPNC won't work | 05:12 |
| l337ingDisorder | geremy: tx :) | 05:12 |
| keira874 | ok but now i go back to 8.04 and now is doesnt work on that either | 05:12 |
| jd__ | hi folks anybody good with wine? | 05:12 |
| webman | geremy: well, I didn't want to flood the chan... links is: root@adamg-desktop:~# links | 05:12 |
| webman | links: error while loading shared libraries: libgpm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 05:12 |
| keira874 | something must of been switched off | 05:12 |
| kgod | jd__: Ask your question | 05:12 |
| zackeroo | jd_ : I love the stuff | 05:12 |
| zackeroo | :) | 05:12 |
| geremy | l337ingDisorder: also, are you bound to IPsec or can you use ssh tunnels? | 05:12 |
| l337ingDisorder | jd__: I'm better with beer or Ricard pastis | 05:12 |
| kgod | webman: disk errors? | 05:12 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, sorry I cant help you much more, I am not an expert either | 05:12 |
| OddlotX4 | jd__: Shoot for it, we follow a format. Ask the question outright, saves time, and makes things more concise. | 05:12 |
| webman | kgod: nope failed upgrade to 8.10 | 05:13 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, make sure your drivers are installed properly | 05:13 |
| zackeroo | jd_ : my favorite is dry red | 05:13 |
| keira874 | thanks anyway zelrikriando | 05:13 |
| jd__ | my wine config page is half off the bottom of the screen, cant get it back | 05:13 |
| l337ingDisorder | geremy: the work network uses ipsec | 05:13 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: how do I read the scripts I found with grep | -i script? | 05:13 |
| keira874 | yes, how do i do thta zelkr, cause i think thats the problem | 05:13 |
| geremy | l337ingDisorder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo | 05:13 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, what the command lspci gives you? | 05:13 |
| webman | basically a lot of shared libs are "not found" and the other error I see is "/usr/bin/mandb: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by /usr/bin/mandb)" | 05:14 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: less. | 05:14 |
| keira874 | ispci? whats that? | 05:14 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, type 'lspci' in a terminal | 05:14 |
| l337ingDisorder | geremy: awesome, thanks! I'll give that a read | 05:14 |
| kgod | webman: livecd and recover time. | 05:14 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: wha? | 05:14 |
| Uplink | look at my ubuntu http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i130/carlosrc007/Ubuntu-Uplink.png | 05:14 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: man less ;-) | 05:14 |
| keira874 | ok ... | 05:14 |
| webman | happens when I try to run a program, or use apt-get upgrade, or dpkg --configure -a etc | 05:14 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, l not 1 | 05:14 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: It's a file pager. The original was 'cat', then came 'pg', then came 'more'. Less is more. | 05:14 |
| geremy | webman: cat it all to a file then do python -m SimpleHTTPServer and give me your external ip | 05:14 |
| zelrikriando | or I | 05:14 |
| webman | kgod: I would prefer to not start again | 05:15 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: ah...less /path/ | 05:15 |
| OddlotX4 | Uplink: Very nice! | 05:15 |
| geremy | l337ingDisorder: np | 05:15 |
| Uplink | OddlotX4: thank you :D wanna see my xchat? i built the theme :D | 05:15 |
| OddlotX4 | Although it looks strangely like Windows, Vista to be exact. | 05:15 |
| OddlotX4 | Sure. | 05:15 |
| Uplink | lol yea | 05:15 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, tell me if you find the name of your video card in that | 05:15 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: what language is this? | 05:15 |
| webman | hmm, can someone remind me how to redirect stderr to a file please ? | 05:15 |
| Uplink | i changed it now tho | 05:15 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: What language is what? | 05:16 |
| Uplink | http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i130/carlosrc007/Screenshot.png | 05:16 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: opened bzgrep | 05:16 |
| keira874 | ok... it says among other things : via technologies unichrome pro | 05:17 |
| geremy | webman >> | 05:17 |
| OddlotX4 | I like it Uplink. | 05:17 |
| kgod | webman: Either you've nuked the linked libraries, or your linker is confused, or you've got disk issues. The way to recover is to run from a system that doesn't need linked libraries to work. The livecd is the easiest way to do that, and no, it doesn't mean starting over completely, though it's a bit complicated ... | 05:17 |
| Uplink | OddlotX4: thanx :D | 05:17 |
| kgod | webman: ... and I can't walk you through it myself. | 05:17 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: I saw if operators..reminded me of c++ ....is it all written in terminal? | 05:17 |
| OddlotX4 | Although, once I test out a game through steam(Just gonna' start with HL 1), I'm gonna' try the fix to make it less slow. | 05:17 |
| keira874 | zelrik my video card is via technology unichrome pro | 05:18 |
| mvirts | can anyone give me some advice on the issue of linux wireless (hell, wired too) network authentication? specifically 802.1x with WPA2, PEAP(v0?)/MSCHAP2 | 05:18 |
| geremy | Uplink: pretty nice, like the gvim theme | 05:18 |
| Uplink | geremy: thanx.. i know it rocks :D its so easy to read and code | 05:19 |
| webman | kgod: well, some libs are working, so I should be able to just start at the "lowest common package" and re-install until they are all done... but preferably doing them in a reasonable order instead of just guess.... | 05:19 |
| geremy | Uplink: you have it posted somewhere? I normally use golden but that seems pretty usable | 05:19 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: The first line of a shell script shows you the language -- it defines the script type. #!/bin/bash, #!/bin/sh, #!/usr/bin/awk -f, #!/usr/bin/perl, etc. | 05:19 |
| Uplink | geremy: posted what? | 05:19 |
| geremy | toastedmilk: and don't forget #! /usr/bin/env python | 05:19 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: That's the "shebang" line, it points the kernel at the appropriate interpreter. The line itself is read by the interpreter as a comment. | 05:19 |
| geremy | Uplink: your gvim theme | 05:19 |
| === drnk-e is now known as DRNK-E | ||
| kgod | geremy: Yeah, yeah. | 05:20 |
| Uplink | geremy: you want it? | 05:20 |
| geremy | Uplink: yeah, if you don't mind | 05:20 |
| mib_o3qr4s | hi, question. whats the best way to convert videos to ipod format. and what program transfers them to ipod/ | 05:20 |
| Uplink | geremy: i dont ;D | 05:20 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: vim is just one of several editors which can be used to write scripts or other code. | 05:20 |
| webman | geremy: output is at http://www.wesolveit.com.au/error | 05:20 |
| RHorse | mib_o3qr4s, don't try it | 05:20 |
| Uplink | geremy: 2 seconds let me upload it | 05:20 |
| demiurgeswill | is ubuntu a reliable production system? | 05:20 |
| mib_o3qr4s | RHorse: why not? | 05:20 |
| kgod | mib_o3qr4s: Not sure on the recoding, treat the ipod as mass storage or use rhythembox / amarok. | 05:20 |
| webman | geremy: I used ftp to upload it to web service, ftp works, but ssh does not.... | 05:21 |
| mib_o3qr4s | kgod: can amarok transmit video? | 05:21 |
| geremy | webman: you sure you're not just behind a bastardy firewall? | 05:21 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: so I have options, basically. Are certain languages delegated to certain tasks, or could I say just learn perl and program everything? | 05:21 |
| kgod | mib_o3qr4s: Dunno. | 05:21 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Yes. | 05:21 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: ... to both. | 05:21 |
| l337ingDisorder | geremy: Well i've read through that guide and it seems to only describe setting up a VPN if you're using another linux machine as the VPN server.. Our office uses a Fortigate-60 router | 05:21 |
| l337ingDisorder | geremy: and the VPN is set up on the router itself | 05:22 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, hold on :) | 05:22 |
| geremy | toastedmilk: some are better at some things, but its the carpenter, not his tools | 05:22 |
| webman | geremy: I am behind NAT, but I know all about that :)... trust me, networking is not a problem... just the packaging I don't know so much about on ubuntu... | 05:22 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Languages are generally suited to certain tasks, however there are a lot of general programming languages. That said, some still are better at (or are more typically used for some things) than others. | 05:22 |
| geremy | l337ingDisorder: should be the same basic idea | 05:22 |
| l337ingDisorder | toastedmilk: in general the thing to keep in mind with perl is that it compiles at runtime | 05:22 |
| toastedmilk | geremy: any recommendations for a good all-around for a newbie? | 05:22 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Perl excels at text manipulation. Python tends to get used for numeric work a bit more, Ruby has become synonymous with web applications. | 05:22 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: ooh, that's what I need to hear | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | python is good to learn for a very very beginner. :) | 05:23 |
| OddlotX4 | Uplink: Half-Life 1 works. | 05:23 |
| geremy | toastedmilk: python is awesome, very powerful and easy to read, but lisp is very nice as well, if a little esoteric | 05:23 |
| keira874 | ok thanks zelrik | 05:23 |
| l337ingDisorder | toastedmilk: so if you have a lot of code, it'll take a long time to execute... so if you're programming a CGI script that will be called through a website, and you're expecting upwards of 100 hits/minute, you'll definitely want to use something like C for the CGI app | 05:23 |
| OddlotX4 | Relatively good framerates. | 05:23 |
| OddlotX4 | Next stop: CS 1.6 | 05:23 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, you should have a package called xserver-xorg-video-openchrome | 05:23 |
| soreau | toastedmilk: If you want to learn how to program, you'll need to do lots and lots of reading | 05:23 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, if not install it | 05:23 |
| toastedmilk | 1227ingDisorder: whoa, it's first-week ubuntu for me | 05:23 |
| * webman thinks once you learn any one scripting language, most other scripting languages are just a matter of slightly tuning your knowledge of the syntax/etc... | 05:23 | |
| keira874 | ok here goes, thanks | 05:23 |
| toastedmilk | ROFL @ my typo | 05:24 |
| Uplink | OddlotX4: nice | 05:24 |
| kelvin911 | hi guys is system76.com can be trusted? | 05:24 |
| geremy | webman: lisp? | 05:24 |
| toastedmilk | soreau: I did a little work with C++ in HS a few years ago, so I think I can pick up the backbone of a programming language | 05:24 |
| profxavier | if I have an external HD plugged into my system, how do I get the location (so I can mount it) where it is? (its not a recent plugin) | 05:24 |
| OddlotX4 | Considering I've only had 8.10 installed for oh, 4 hours, I'm doing pretty good. | 05:24 |
| webman | l337ingdisorder: you can compile perl code as well .... not that I have ever done it successfully.... | 05:24 |
| toastedmilk | soreau: any good websites for a tutorial? | 05:24 |
| l337ingDisorder | toastedmilk: C is pretty easy to learn... not much more complicated than perl.. perl is just reeeeally forgiving (the official motto is "there's more than one way to do it") which makes it really easy to develop bad habits ;) | 05:24 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: Perl and shell (bourne/bash) are used a lot for systems administration, which often involves doing some simple text manipulation, looping over lists of things (users, files, processes), and reading input / writing output. | 05:24 |
| kelvin911 | which company are selling laptop that has ubuntu preinstalled? | 05:24 |
| webman | geremy: did you see the error file I posted ? | 05:24 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911 dell for one. | 05:24 |
| l337ingDisorder | webman: true, and with modperl apache can cache compiled perl scripts.. but that's all more advanced stuff | 05:25 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911 i think the guys who sell thinkpads may be also. | 05:25 |
| geremy | webman: no I must have missed it | 05:25 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, really good question, I never got any feedback from System76 customers (do they exist?) | 05:25 |
| kelvin911 | Dr_willis: but last time i go browse dell website i cant change OS | 05:25 |
| soreau | toastedmilk: That just reminds me.. I forgot to bookmark all my good links before nuking that partition.. | 05:25 |
| toastedmilk | kgod: do you think vim is the best text editor for learning Python? | 05:25 |
| Dr_willis | kelvin911 you were looking in the wrong place then. | 05:25 |
| webman | geremy: http://www.wesolveit.com.au/error | 05:25 |
| toastedmilk | soreau: noooooooo! | 05:25 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, Dell is doing it | 05:25 |
| kelvin911 | maybe ubuntu not preinstalled in dell.ca? | 05:25 |
| keira874 | ok zelkrid, i found it and it is already installed | 05:25 |
| kelvin911 | dell canada | 05:25 |
| werdnus | I'm having some trouble PXE booting a laptop. | 05:25 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, they hide their stuff though | 05:25 |
| l337ingDisorder | toastedmilk: vim sux :P it's great for console but trust me, get ScITE | 05:25 |
| kelvin911 | hide? | 05:25 |
| werdnus | It seems to download the file (/pxelinux.cfg/default) okay, but it does nothing after that :/ | 05:26 |
| profxavier | kelvin911, dell sells systems with Ubuntu/linux | 05:26 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, you have to dig hard in their website | 05:26 |
| profxavier | if I have an external HD plugged into my system, how do I get the location (so I can mount it) where it is? (its not a recent plugin) | 05:26 |
| kelvin911 | i want to buy cheaper without stupid vista | 05:26 |
| kelvin911 | i dont want to give my $60 to MS | 05:26 |
| geremy | webman: its blank to me | 05:26 |
| kgod | toastedmilk: It's a decent editor. There are some full python frameworks, of which Idle and Emacs / Xemacs are probably slightly more full-featured. I use vim for pretty much everything myself. | 05:26 |
| webman | profxavier: try "fdisk -l" | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | sudo fdisk -l, :) or else you wotn see anything | 05:26 |
| profxavier | webman: nothing | 05:27 |
| beoba | neither kern.log nor messages had anything notable | 05:27 |
| webman | hmmm, my output redirect isn't working | 05:27 |
| * kgod tries to figure out why xorg is ignoring his "Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps" isn't working right. | 05:27 | |
| kelvin911 | to run compiz, do i need nvidia graphic card? | 05:27 |
| beoba | any other places to see what caused a kernel panic? | 05:27 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, is it going well? | 05:27 |
| kelvin911 | can intel integrated card run compiz? | 05:27 |
| kgod | webman: stop using csh ;-) | 05:27 |
| l337ingDisorder | kelvin911: no but it helps | 05:27 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, no intel is enough | 05:27 |
| yesitisjustme | suddenly the audio on ubuntu dissapeared but it was working before? | 05:27 |
| webman | how to redirect stderr... something like cmd > /tmp/error 2&>1 | 05:28 |
| kelvin911 | what about ATI? | 05:28 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, I have an intel,works well | 05:28 |
| l337ingDisorder | kelvin911: intel is the worst for driver support.. then ati.. nvidia is best | 05:28 |
| webman | kgod: I use bash .... ?? | 05:28 |
| kelvin911 | i heard that ATI cant run compiz | 05:28 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, it depends... | 05:28 |
| l337ingDisorder | kelvin911: older ati cards have trouble | 05:28 |
| yesitisjustme | has anyone suddenly lost the audio on ubuntu? | 05:28 |
| keira874 | i have xserver-xorg-video-openchrome already installed, was trying googling it and seeing what i could find.... | 05:28 |
| l337ingDisorder | kelvin911: they can run compiz but none of the overlay effects | 05:28 |
| rww | kelvin911: on my Radeon HD 3450, the non-free fglrx driver can do compiz, but the free radeon driver can't (though it can play 3d games) | 05:28 |
| Uplink | kelvin911: im running compiz right now | 05:28 |
| jeeves_Moss | how do I connect to a PPP VPN on a windows server if I have the Gnome pannel add in for the connection manager? I can configure the VPN settings, but I can't find how to connect it | 05:28 |
| Uplink | and overlay effects | 05:28 |
| zelrikriando | keira874, :/ sorry about that, I wish I could help more | 05:29 |
| kelvin911 | so i better get a laptop with nvidia card? | 05:29 |
| geremy | webman: its blank to me | 05:29 |
| Uplink | kelvin911: what card you got | 05:29 |
| kelvin911 | now? | 05:29 |
| keira874 | ok, but maybe you have anyway cause i now have something to look at...thanks again | 05:29 |
| kgod | beoba: *if* your system can write to disk before the panic hits, it's in logs. Often it's not. You can change the panic behavior with /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops (man 5 proc for settings). | 05:29 |
| zelrikriando | Uplink, he wants to buy hardware | 05:29 |
| RHorse | does anyone know how to get ubuntu to drop my kids off at school in the morning? | 05:29 |
| l337ingDisorder | jeeves_Moss: if it's a PPTP network you can use pptp-linux | 05:29 |
| kelvin911 | i am using desktop i got geforce 7600 GT | 05:29 |
| webman | geremy: sorry, refresh now, it has content... | 05:29 |
| Uplink | kelvin911: ATI works great on linux, but u will have less struggle with nvidia | 05:30 |
| Uplink | *altho i love ATI | 05:30 |
| jeeves_Moss | l337ingDisorder, ok, where is the GUI connection manager/launcher? | 05:30 |
| kgod | beoba: If you're running console and Magic SysRQ, you can get some debug information at console on a panic, though it's usually hard to deal with unless you've got serial logging going on (as I suggested previously). | 05:30 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, on Canonical's website, they have a list of certified hardware for Ubuntu | 05:30 |
| b33r | Uplink, nvidia cards are more powerful imo | 05:30 |
| kelvin911 | what site? | 05:30 |
| l337ingDisorder | jeeves_Moss: it's just a submenu in networkmanager | 05:30 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, you should check there | 05:30 |
| profxavier | Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System | 05:30 |
| profxavier | /dev/sdb1 1 60801 488384001 5 Extended | 05:30 |
| profxavier | /dev/sdb5 1 60801 488383969+ 83 Linux | 05:30 |
| webman | btw, redirect stderr is like this: cmd > /tmp/error 2>&1 | 05:30 |
| kelvin911 | canon? | 05:30 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, hold on | 05:30 |
| rww | !paste | profxavier | 05:30 |
| ubottu | profxavier: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 05:30 |
| kgod | beoba: frequently there's some prior indication of what might have happened in logs, but not always. | 05:30 |
| profxavier | how do I know which one to mount ? | 05:31 |
| Uplink | b33r: yea i know, they are open source now.... | 05:31 |
| Uplink | the drivers at least | 05:31 |
| jeeves_Moss | l337ingDisorder, ok, I'll have a look. I have the ability to edit the connection in the connection manager, but no where to connect | 05:31 |
| profxavier | is there a problem rww? | 05:31 |
| kgod | beoba: kernel panics most often are: bad hardware, bad drivers (kernel drivers), or kernel bugs (rarely). | 05:31 |
| kingsofleon | does anyone know of any good personal finance managers for linux? | 05:31 |
| toastthemilk | stupid slow internetz | 05:31 |
| Dr_willis | profxavier sdb5 is the data partition.. sdb1 is extended - you dont mount those. | 05:31 |
| l337ingDisorder | jeeves_Moss: once the connection is configured it will appear as a submenu in the vpn menu | 05:31 |
| profxavier | Dr_willis, neither? | 05:31 |
| toastthemilk | Can anyone tell me where to find some tutorials on Python? | 05:31 |
| zelrikriando | kelvin911, http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ | 05:31 |
| l337ingDisorder | jeeves_Moss: just click on the connection name | 05:31 |
| kgod | beoba: Tracking them down is a real PITA. Running memtest86+ and checking for bad capacitors and/or other physical mobo faults (cracked wires, etc.) is recommended. | 05:32 |
| beoba | kgod: okay, but that doesnt really help me | 05:32 |
| profxavier | then how do I mount my external? | 05:32 |
| Dr_willis | profxavier sdb5 is the data partition.. sdb1 is technically holding sdb5. you mount sdb5 | 05:32 |
| kgod | beoba: It helps you. It doesn't fully solve your problem. | 05:32 |
| beoba | kgod: well, i doubt its a hardware problem because 8.04 and vista are perfectly happy | 05:32 |
| toastthemilk | 1337ingDisorder: Where can I find that script editor? | 05:32 |
| kgod | beoba: Occams Razor. | 05:32 |
| Dr_willis | profxavier read up about primary/extended/logical partitions some day to understand why. :) | 05:32 |
| naze | irc://irc.freenode.net#swisslinux | 05:32 |
| beoba | kgod: im going to assume that it's nvidia drivers for the moment and use 172.xx instead of 177.xx | 05:32 |
| kingsofleon | occams razor! | 05:32 |
| beoba | bye | 05:32 |
| kgod | beoba: Identify what does and what doesn't trigger the problem. Check yoru boot options, add/remove hardware, drivers. | 05:32 |
| Dr_willis | profxavier you mount sdb5 the logical partition | 05:32 |
| profxavier | Dr_willis, confusing reply | 05:32 |
| jeeves_Moss | l337ingDisorder, when I click on "VPN connections", my only option is "configure VPN", and "disconnect" is greyed out | 05:33 |
| legend2440 | kingsofleon: gnucash its in synaptic | 05:33 |
| kingsofleon | ah cool someone else recomended that but it's seems pretty complex! | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | profxavier you can just rty mouting them both.. you wont be able to mount sdb1, you must mount sdb5 | 05:33 |
| kingsofleon | do you use it urself? | 05:33 |
| webman | geremy: see error messages now ? | 05:33 |
| l337ingDisorder | jeeves_Moss: when you configure, are your vpn connections listed in the config window? | 05:33 |

| kgod | toastthemilk: There's a whole mess of excellent python docs which should be installable on Ubuntu (they're packaged for Debian). | 05:34 |
| Dr_willis | kgod i love it when some one rants and yells wanting answer to a specific question.. that end up being the totally wrong 'question' to fix the users real problem. :) | 05:34 |
| l337ingDisorder | jeeves_Moss: wonky... it should be showing up in the list | 05:34 |

| kgod | Dr_willis: That *never* happens. | 05:34 |
| zzl | are you serious? | 05:34 |
| legend2440 | kingsofleon: tried gnucash it a while back. it did seem kind of confusing to initially set up if i remember right | 05:34 |
| zzl | i thought it was like next week | 05:34 |
| jeeves_Moss | l337ingDisorder, no, I haven't rebooted. brb, going to test that. | 05:35 |
| Dr_willis | zzl time to read on the ubuntu web sites. :) | 05:35 |

| l337ingDisorder | jeeves_Moss: hang on | 05:35 |
| zzl | i went to shipit and it said it isn't out yet....... | 05:35 |
| * kgod hands Dr_willis his patented "but *why* would you want to do that?" question and an only slightly scandelous licensing rate sheet. | 05:35 | |
| Dr_willis | shippit dosent alwyas send out the latest.. | 05:35 |
| kelvin911 | so anyone heard of system76.com ?? | 05:35 |

| ultralinear | I am having a slight issue with my HP Laser Jet P1005. Running Ubuntu 8.10. The device sends to print, Document Print Status says completed, though no physical printing has taken place. | 05:45 |
| zzl | sorry | 05:46 |
| think_linux | i dont know | 05:46 |
| kgod | niten: What are you looking for? | 05:46 |
| zzl | Ibex | 05:46 |
| K3rn3l | becos dont see auto installer in the GUI --- GNOME | 05:46 |
| think_linux | Flannel: how could i check | 05:46 |
| Flannel | think_linux: alight, lsb_release -a will tell you | 05:46 |
| Boohbah | prathibha: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfreebeta | 05:46 |
| zzl | does Ibex have touchscreen capablilites? | 05:46 |
| niten | kgod: What programs are using my hard drive? The hard drive version of top... | 05:46 |
| l337ingDisorder | think_linux: try sudo apt-get install -f | 05:46 |
| rww | !patience | zzl | 05:46 |
| K3rn3l | only use ... apt-get in the shell | 05:46 |
| ubottu | zzl: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:46 |
| pjKevin | zzl: no.. | 05:46 |
| rabe | does anyone has some experience with virtual windows that means virtual box, qemu und wine?? | 05:46 |
| Boohbah | rabe: yes | 05:46 |
| kgod | niten: I think you need the atop kernel extensions. There's no tracking of IO by program/process/user in the default kernel. | 05:46 |
| rww | !repeat | zzl, sorry that should have been | 05:46 |
| ubottu | zzl, sorry that should have been: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 05:46 |
| Flannel | l337ingDisorder: Please try and diagnose problems before suggesting solutions. | 05:46 |
| zzl | I have a touchscreen laptop though | 05:46 |
| kingsofleon | rabe, i've got windows and wine if thats what you mean | 05:47 |
| K3rn3l | system > Administrator > no see installer GUI for down and install packages | 05:47 |
| niten | kgod: Cool, thanks, I'll try that | 05:47 |
| kevin_ | has anyone ever pugged in a flash drive or any usb device and not been able to access it even though you can see it in places | 05:47 |
| think_linux | Flannel: ubuntu 8.04 hardy | 05:47 |

| ultralinear | Can someone help with a HP Laser Jet P1005 printer issue??? | 05:47 |
| b33r | kevin_, what error are you getting? | 05:47 |
| Boohbah | kevin_: yes, it's probably not automatically mounted. find the drive letter with dmesg and mount it | 05:48 |
| kevin_ | unable to mount volume | 05:48 |
| K3rn3l | Im FreeBSD user becos im new in ubuntu | 05:48 |
| b33r | kevin_, you installed your ubuntu from flash too? | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | ultralinear tell the channel the general issue.. someone may know.. Proberly not me.. but someone may | 05:48 |
| kevin_ | yes | 05:48 |
| rabe | boohbah and kingsofleon have you recognized the pm window? | 05:48 |
| Flannel | think_linux: alright. Please pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:48 |
| Boohbah | kevin_: mount as root | 05:48 |
| think_linux | 1337ingDisorder : that command gave me 0 update 0 installed.... | 05:48 |
| K3rn3l | Im user RedHat becos im new in ubuntu | 05:48 |
| b33r | kevin_, I think it's a bug edit your fstab and umark a cdrom | 05:48 |
| nickgarvey | I did an usb install the other day, it was quite remarkable | 05:48 |
| rww | !es | K3rn3l, if you'd prefer help in Spanish | 05:48 |
| ubottu | K3rn3l, if you'd prefer help in Spanish: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 05:48 |
| think_linux | Flannel: how do i see that?? | 05:49 |
| Dr_willis | b33r i had a extra cdrom entry in my fstab as well. :) | 05:49 |
| kgod | niten: IIRK it was a dutch site that had the canonical sources. | 05:49 |
| K3rn3l | aa ok thaks | 05:49 |
| Flannel | think_linux: Open it in a text editor. alt-f2 then type "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" | 05:49 |
| Dr_willis | b33r and i installed from a flash thumbdrive. | 05:49 |
| l337ingDisorder | Flannel: I am. If apt-get -f reports 0 update 0 installed then you know it's not a broken dependency problem. :P | 05:49 |
| pjKevin | anyone know how to get rid of feedback/echo from a built in mic with oss4? | 05:49 |
| kgod | pjKevin: Use headphones. | 05:50 |
| kevin_ | I'm still new to ubuntu, trying to make the switch from microsoft so I'm not exactly sure how to mount as root or edit the fstab | 05:50 |
| kgod | pjKevin: ... and/or disable the mic and/or disable speakers. | 05:50 |
| niten | kgod: I just grabbed it from the normal repos...it seems to work okay! | 05:50 |
| tarelerulz | Is there any Ubuntu user groups in Spokan , Washington ? | 05:50 |
| pjKevin | kgod: when i do that, i can still hear myself typing... on my headphones, its cool at first... then not so much | 05:50 |
| niten | I've got read/write for each hdd, plus tons of other info | 05:50 |
| zzl | who is going to watch the U.S. presidential debates?? | 05:50 |
| Dr_willis | kevin_ sudo nano /etc/fstab to edit fstab as root. | 05:50 |
| b33r | kevin_, type sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 05:50 |
| Boohbah | pjKevin: if you mute the mic input that should fix it | 05:50 |
| zzl | I mean election | 05:50 |
| pjKevin | yeah... it has fixed it. but i just wanted to use skype..... | 05:51 |
| rww | !offtopic | zzl | 05:51 |
| ubottu | zzl: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 05:51 |
| Flannel | zzl: try #politics | 05:51 |
| think_linux | Flannel: file empty | 05:51 |
| pjKevin | and have a working mic, i was just wondering if there was a fix | 05:51 |
| think_linux | Flannel: nothing in it | 05:51 |
| Flannel | think_linux: really? Browse to it in the file browser to double check. | 05:51 |
| kgod | pjKevin: Get an external mic. Are you using the built-in mic on a laptop, etc? | 05:51 |
| pjKevin | yeah | 05:51 |
| [[thufir]] | what's the thinking on upgrading? I'm at "Ubuntu 8.04.1" | 05:51 |
| pjKevin | it was working before | 05:52 |
| think_linux | Flannel: i even tried nano... | 05:52 |
| pjKevin | and then i put the computer in hibernate | 05:52 |
| think_linux | Flannel: nothing | 05:52 |
| Flannel | think_linux: And while youre there, check to see if the folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ has anything in it | 05:52 |
| kgod | niten: Cool. I didn't know it was there ;-) | 05:52 |
| pjKevin | and upon restart, it was effed | 05:52 |
| pjKevin | and it hasnt worked since | 05:52 |
| pjKevin | but i had the mic working as it should be, and skype | 05:52 |
| olskolirc | hey guys im on Intrepid and im having a problem with my keyboard layout such as I cant use the apostrophe and sometime I get two dots above my letter. How do I get my Us 101-104 keyboard please? | 05:52 |
| cszikszoy | anyone know if using dmraid works with dual boot? | 05:52 |
| kgod | niten: Note that there's the atop monitor, and atop extensions. I'm not sure you've got everything with just the monitor. | 05:52 |
| Flannel | [[thufir]]: LTS is good. Upgrade every 2 years (10.04 will be your next upgrade), if you just want your computer to work (and have no current problems) and don't necessarily care for the latest software versions | 05:52 |
| lc2100 | My new intrepid ibex install is not recognizing my video card, i am stuck VESA mode, so I can't change my resolution past 1024x768 | 05:53 |
| arooni | is there some firefox extension or script i can get to: start playing http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=2 without me needing to navigate there and click "Listen to Monday's Show"? | 05:53 |
| niten | Well, it started a daemon, and the monitor is dumping tons of data on me | 05:53 |
| toastthemilk | I'm trying to learn Python..Can I use the text editor to write Python code? If so, how do I save it and test run it? | 05:53 |
| rww | olskolirc: system > preferences > keyboard > layouts tab | 05:53 |
| think_linux | Flannel: i tried gedit sources.list and it worked this time | 05:53 |
| olskolirc | thanks rww | 05:53 |
| kgod | niten: kernel-patch-aopacct | 05:53 |
| niten | A kernel module, prolly? | 05:53 |
| think_linux | Flannel: do u want me to paste informtion? | 05:53 |
| niten | kgod: I'll have a look at that | 05:53 |
| geoff_ | toastthemilk : I believe you can use gedit | 05:53 |
| zzl | holy crap. #politics is crazy. Thanks to whoever mentioned it. :) | 05:53 |
| kgod | niten: kernel patch package provides additional stats counters. | 05:53 |
| Flannel | !paste | think_linux | 05:53 |
| ubottu | think_linux: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 05:53 |
| Dr_willis | toastthemilk time to google and find a few python tutorials.. you can use most any text editor.. i reccomend 'geany' | 05:54 |
| === WPPWAH is now known as WPPWAH|offline | ||
| rww | Flannel: eek, the #politics channel is scary. I sometimes forget that not all of Freenode has our CoC | 05:54 |
| [[thufir]] | what's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? | 05:54 |
| kelvin911 | how come dell laptop with ubuntu is more expensive then with windows? | 05:54 |
| kgod | niten: atcomputing.nl is the domain of upstream. | 05:54 |
| think_linux | Flannel: alright give me a minute | 05:54 |
| kevin_ | now that I can see fstab what do i do? | 05:54 |
| toastthemilk | Dr_willis: I did google several tutorials, I just don't know how to run the code because they're all windows tutorials | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | toastthemilk most all the tutorials whill walk ya through the edit/save/run stuff | 05:54 |
| rww | [[thufir]]: aptitude has additional features, like automatic and manually installed packages, and has a nice console UI | 05:54 |
| perlsyntax | how do i remove the gnome panel? | 05:54 |
| Flannel | [[thufir]]: Theyre both apt frontends, aptitude has a TUI too. | 05:54 |
| b33r | kevin_, do you see 2 cdroms? | 05:54 |
| profxavier | kelvin911, possibly u want to talk to Dell, i suggest giving them a call | 05:54 |
| Flannel | rww: Thats not true anymore. | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | toastthemilk you are looking in the wrong places then. :) its as simple as python yourprogram.py | 05:55 |
| pjKevin | kelvin911, subsidization to the max??? | 05:55 |
| cszikszoy | anyone using dmraid on a dual boot setup? | 05:55 |
| webman | toastthemilk: save the file, and do "chmod +x filename" then do "./filename" | 05:55 |
| geoff_ | toastthemilk : if you append your google queries with 'ubuntu' then you'll usually get more relevent material | 05:55 |
| rww | Flannel: what isn't? | 05:55 |
| kgod | toastthemilk: aptitude install dwww python-doc swish+ | 05:55 |
| perlsyntax | i want to use awn and delate myu gome -panel | 05:55 |
| [[thufir]] | Flannel: do apt-get, aptitude and synaptic all play together nicely? | 05:55 |
| perlsyntax | how do i do that? | 05:55 |
| think_linux | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/67133/ | 05:55 |
| profxavier | kelvin911, they have to teach there OS ppl how to install Ubuntu, which costs $$ | 05:55 |
| rycar | I have an ubuntu server setup, but now I want to add gnone to it, one similar to what comes with workstation. What is the best way to do this? | 05:55 |
| kgod | toastthemilk: ... and point your browser at http://localhost/dwww then search for python | 05:55 |
| webman | toastthemilk: oh, first line of your program should be "#!/usr/bin/python" or wherever python lives | 05:55 |
| think_linux | Flannel: got it? | 05:55 |
| kingsofleon | kelvin > becuase it is more awesome | 05:55 |
| perlsyntax | ow do i remove gnome panel? | 05:55 |
| perlsyntax | how | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | toastthemilk http://docs.python.org/tutorial/interpreter.html#invoking-the-interpreter | 05:55 |
| kgod | rycar: Install gnome-desktop | 05:56 |
| zackeroo | b33r : its downloaded .... what now? | 05:56 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 05:56 |
| b33r | zackeroo, .tar.bz2? | 05:56 |
| rabe | boobah? | 05:56 |
| Flannel | [[thufir]]: They do. However, the historical benefits of aptitude only work if you use only aptitude. apt-get has reimplemented those features in a way that you don't have to use only apt-get (you can use synaptic, or whatever else you want, etc, and still have those fancy things) | 05:56 |
| profxavier | rycar, probably would be better reinstalling the whole thing, plus you get some practise :D | 05:56 |
| tusker | prlsyntax, why do you want to remobe gnome-panel? | 05:56 |
| pjKevin | hey, would KDE be more compatible with my laptop, or is just a different interface? | 05:56 |
| zackeroo | b33r: yes and I extracted it already | 05:56 |
| toastthemilk | Thanks for all the help, guys! | 05:56 |
| kingsofleon | does anyone here use kde? | 05:56 |
| kgod | pjKevin: What's special about your laptop? | 05:56 |
| perlsyntax | becuase i only want awn on my desktop/ | 05:56 |
| kgod | kingsofleon: Sometimes. | 05:56 |
| b33r | zackeroo, go that place in terminal | 05:56 |
| rycar | profxavier: I already have the server setup the way I want it, I just want to be able to play movies on the server out the tv port every once in awhile | 05:56 |
| profxavier | pjKevin, compatible in what way ? | 05:56 |
| kingsofleon | ....and it it better than gnome? or how does it compare? | 05:56 |
| zackeroo | b33r: ok | 05:56 |
| b33r | zackeroo, and type ./configure | 05:57 |
| geoff_ | I found a really cool theme on the ubuntu wiki ('Dust') and I was wondering if there were any plans to make it a default theme down the road | 05:57 |
| cszikszoy | anyone using dmraid on a dual boot setup? | 05:57 |
| gaintsura | hey all, I'm having a problem connecting to my db, it says connect to localhost failed, access denied for user root@localhost using password: YES, I know the password is right, whats wrong with this? | 05:57 |
| oddity801 | Does anyone have any experince with intel hda sound and oss4? | 05:57 |
| pjKevin | kgod, its new new, and none of the hardware works well | 05:57 |
| Flannel | think_linux: alright, this looks normal. Please pastebin the otuput of this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:57 |
| tusker | sudo remove gnome-panel ? | 05:57 |
| profxavier | rycar, i dont think you need a GUI to do that, but I could be incorrect | 05:57 |
| pjKevin | like, sound, function keys | 05:57 |
| Boohbah | pjKevin: hardware driver support is independent of desktop environment | 05:57 |
| kgod | kingsofleon: They're different. It's a matter of personal preference. KDE4 has had a rash of complaints and appears to lock up my keyboard input after a few minutes. | 05:57 |
| think_linux | Flannel: when i run synaptic i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/67134/ | 05:57 |
| tusker | or try and go to synaptic package manager and look for gnome-panel | 05:57 |
| christo_m | im having som eissues with listening to music, then trying to watch a youtube video | 05:57 |
| pjKevin | mm, k, thanks | 05:57 |
| rycar | profxavier: what's a good program to play movies on the framebuffer? | 05:57 |
| christo_m | apparently flash screws up my sound | 05:57 |
| rabe | VIRTUAL WINDOWS does anyone any solution to boot an existing windows installation within ubuntu? | 05:57 |
| zackeroo | b33r: configure: error: NetworkManager development headers not found. Use --disable-nm if you do not need NetworkManager support. | 05:57 |
| profxavier | pjKevin, with so many people talking, it helps alot to add the persons nick in your posts FYI | 05:57 |
| kgod | pjKevin: That's generally more of a kernel/driver support issue than desktop. | 05:57 |
| kingsofleon | kgod: ouch! does it run gnome programs the same way gnome runs kde programs? | 05:58 |
| Dr_willis | rabe i hear its doable with vmware.. but not reccomdnede | 05:58 |
| Boohbah | rabe: add an entry to boot your windows partition in grub.conf | 05:58 |
| profxavier | rycar, no idea, never done it, just seems like something you could do | 05:58 |
| b33r | zackeroo, you sure you installed all the dependencies? | 05:58 |
| Flannel | think_linux: Alright. That has to do with a proxy thing. Have you tried to set up... mmm, I can't remember the name of it. Any proxies recently? | 05:58 |
| zackeroo | b33r: I use Wicd | 05:58 |
| kevin_ | i see sda1, sda5, sdb1 | 05:58 |
| kgod | kingsofleon: In general, what dekstop you run has nothing to do with what programs you run. | 05:58 |
| toastthemilk | hehehe, 'python' | 05:58 |
| kingsofleon | ok cool, thanks | 05:58 |
| zackeroo | b33r: I did whatever you said | 05:58 |
| kgod | kingsofleon: I use neither GNOME nor KDE as a desktop. I run both GNOME and KDE apps. | 05:58 |
| b33r | zackeroo, disable it then | 05:58 |
| zackeroo | ok | 05:58 |
| think_linux | Flannel: i dont remember so!! | 05:58 |
| zackeroo | how? | 05:58 |
| zackeroo | b33r: how? | 05:59 |
| kingsofleon | what do you use for a desktop? | 05:59 |
| kgod | kingsofleon: windowmaker | 05:59 |
| b33r | zackeroo, ./configure --disable-nm | 05:59 |
| kgod | kingsofleon: The One True Desktop ;-) | 05:59 |
| think_linux | Flannel: squilt? something like that? | 05:59 |
| rww | Flannel: I can mark packages as automatically/manually installed using apt-get? | 05:59 |
| kingsofleon | hmmm, lol | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | I like jwm+rox-filer for a light desktop :) | 05:59 |
| kingsofleon | never jeard of it, going to look it up | 05:59 |
| Uplink | b33r: looks like zeth solved his problem | 05:59 |
| christo_m | Anyone else having issues with flash and sound in firefox on ibex? | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | rabe i have no more info on vmware and doing that other that it has been done.. | 05:59 |
| Flannel | think_linux: squid, yeah. Something like that. | 05:59 |
| kgod | kingsofleon: It's based on the old NeXT desktop, which is where Mac OS X's aqua came from. | 06:00 |
| zackeroo | Uplink: we are not there yet | 06:00 |
| think_linux | Flannel: let me check | 06:00 |
| Uplink | i was being sarcastic | 06:00 |
| zackeroo | Uplink: ha ... indeed ... | 06:00 |
| b33r | =P | 06:00 |
| kevin_ | b33r: i see sda1, sda5, sdb1 | 06:00 |
| zackeroo | b33r: I got it... I did ./configure --disable-nm ... | 06:00 |
| b33r | kevin_, do you see cdrom0 and cdrom1? | 06:00 |
| b33r | zackeroo, done without any errors? if so type make | 06:01 |
| kevin_ | just cdrom0 | 06:01 |
| lovinglinux | Hi. I want to delete my windows partition to keep only Ubuntu. Can I delete a partition flagged as boot? | 06:01 |
| olskolirc | M | 06:01 |
| olskolirc | Iḿ | 06:01 |
| olskolirc | see? | 06:01 |
| b33r | kevin_, and do you have a cdrom drive? | 06:01 |
| zackeroo | b33r: yep ... no errors ... doing make now | 06:01 |
| olskolirc | letters above characters | 06:01 |
| think_linux | Flannel: nope not installed | 06:01 |
| olskolirc | it didnt fix | 06:01 |
| profxavier | lovinglinux, if its setup properly, it will use the windows boot | 06:01 |
| christo_m | !sound | 06:01 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). 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 | 06:01 |

| olskolirc | and i have to escape my apostrophe in everything i type | 06:01 |
| olskolirc | !keybaord | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about keybaord | 06:02 |
| olskolirc | bitch | 06:02 |
| b33r | kevin_, before the cdrom line type # , then save and try mounting | 06:02 |
| Gnea | !partition | lovinglinux | 06:02 |
| ubottu | lovinglinux: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 06:02 |
| profxavier | lovinglinux, so possibly editing that will cause a boot just into linux | 06:02 |
| Gnea | lovinglinux: yes. | 06:02 |
| webman | I had ubuntu 8.04 installed and working, and have 'half installed' 8.10 which is now screwed, if I boot from a 8.10 CD, what is the best way to "recover" ?? ie, new install, upgrade install, etc ?? | 06:02 |
| Flannel | think_linux: Ah. I remember now, anon-proxy. Also, check System > PReferences > Proxy Settings, to make sure you don't have one set up. | 06:03 |
| christo_m | webman: see if you can salvage your /home and create a partition for it | 06:03 |
| lovinglinux | profxavier: so, there is no possibility to mess with grub? | 06:03 |
| bannik | hey...anyone active and eager too help? | 06:03 |
| christo_m | webman: then it doesnt matter how many times you format the base system | 06:03 |
| think_linux | Flannel: yeah its there | 06:03 |
| Flannel | webman: When you boot to the harddrive, do you get anything? terminal, black screen, etc? | 06:03 |
| profxavier | wow | 06:03 |
| profxavier | i just deleted my entire music colletion | 06:03 |
| christo_m | Flannel: prolly gets a kernel panic or something | 06:03 |
| profxavier | crap | 06:03 |
| bannik | lmao profxavier | 06:04 |
| christo_m | lol | 06:04 |
| christo_m | that sux | 06:04 |
| profxavier | not funny | 06:04 |
| christo_m | anyone a pro with flash and sound | 06:04 |
| Flannel | !undelete | profxavier | 06:04 |
| ubottu | profxavier: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 06:04 |
| bannik | its kinda funny | 06:04 |
| think_linux | Flannel:should i uninstall it? | 06:04 |
| kevin_ | b33r, thank you so much, that was easier than I thought it would be. | 06:04 |
| profxavier | i thought I was mounting my external drive | 06:04 |
| b33r | kevin_, worked? =)\ | 06:04 |
| christo_m | profxavier: how did you get those two mixed up? | 06:04 |
| webman | Flannel: well, I'm still in the X windows (I haven't rebooted yet) just lots of problems with libraries /etc | 06:04 |
| christo_m | mount and rm are not even close | 06:04 |
| Flannel | think_linux: That's whats causing the issue ;) if you remove it, make sure its marked for "complete removal" | 06:04 |
| kevin_ | what does putting the # signify? | 06:04 |
| Gr33n3gg | pen15 | 06:04 |
| Boohbah | profxavier: good thing you keep backups huh | 06:04 |
| christo_m | kevin_: omit the line, or comment it out etc | 06:04 |
| bannik | boohbah i doubt he keepts backups | 06:05 |
| profxavier | chris4585, thats a stupid question to ask | 06:05 |
| Flannel | webman: alright, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, to upgrade the rest of the way. | 06:05 |
| bannik | maybe those were his backups? | 06:05 |
| profxavier | Boohbah, i wish it was all of it, but yes | 06:05 |
| kevin_ | yes thank you | 06:05 |
| zackeroo | b33r: done .. what now? ... sudo make install? | 06:05 |
| b33r | kevin_, glad it worked :) | 06:05 |
| b33r | zackeroo, yes | 06:05 |
| chris4585 | profxavier, ? | 06:05 |
| kevin_ | I'm liking ubuntu more and more as the days go by | 06:05 |
| webman | Flannel: it doesn't work.. see http://www.wesolveit.com.au/error for the error messages (I can't use pastebin, but ftp worked to upload the file) | 06:05 |
| chris4585 | tab error? | 06:05 |
| b33r | ubuntu ftw :D | 06:05 |
| Boohbah | i follow linus torvalds' bakcup policy: keep enough mirrorsr of your work online to avoid doing your own backups :) | 06:05 |
| bannik | yea ok I need a simple question answered | 06:06 |
| kevin_ | makes so much more sense, and easier | 06:06 |
| profxavier | chris4585, i have better things to do then adhere to your interest | 06:06 |
| bannik | i bough and mp3 player a sansa clip (awsome price £15 3 year gurantee ) | 06:06 |
| chris4585 | well excuse me, heh | 06:06 |
| kgod | Boohbah: I thought it was "post it online and have your friends mirror it for you" | 06:06 |
| bannik | but | 06:06 |
| think_linux | Flannel: im still gettin that problem :( | 06:06 |
| christo_m | anyone have a fix for the flash problem with mozilla, im getting 0 sound | 06:06 |

| `r0ot | I update the kernel so i got new lines in my boot , it's safe to delete the old one ? | 06:07 |
| Flannel | think_linux: did you remove that package completely? Try restarting networking. If I remember correctly (been a while since we've run into this error here), there may be some other file that we get to hunt down. | 06:07 |
| olskolirc | why do I have to hit the apostrophe twice before it shows up | 06:07 |
| christo_m | paranoid_ndroid: i have the same problem | 06:07 |
| christo_m | paranoid_ndroid: no one in here is free apparently | 06:07 |
| zackeroo | b33r: argh | 06:07 |
| bannik | is there a way too stop rhythmbox opening it | 06:07 |
| think_linux | Flannel: yes completely | 06:07 |
| Flannel | `r0ot: Dont delete the old ones, remove their corresponding kernel packages (linux-image-*) | 06:07 |
| Gnea | christo_m: try switching the default output sound devices from 'default' or 'pulseaudio' to 'alsa' in system->preferences->sound | 06:07 |
| think_linux | Flannel: maybe some other proxy? | 06:08 |
| profxavier | well shit | 06:08 |
| b33r | zackeroo, :S | 06:08 |
| profxavier | think ill hit the hay now :/ | 06:08 |

| profxavier | nite ppl | 06:08 |
| bannik | nite X | 06:08 |
| Gnea | paranoid_ndroid: see what i just told christo_m, might work | 06:08 |
| paranoid_ndroid | Gnea, testing | 06:08 |
| Gnea | `r0ot: huh? | 06:08 |
| Flannel | think_linux: Check /etc/apt/apt_preferences for odd things that look like proxies. | 06:08 |
| Formode | Hello, trying to acccess CGI IRC that I just installed via Apt-get package, How would I do that? | 06:08 |

| christo_m | Gnea: i get this error http://pastebin.com/m4b4b39b1 | 06:09 |
| christo_m | Gnea: apparently somethings tying up the device | 06:09 |
| `r0ot | linux-image-x.x.x.x like that | 06:09 |
| Gnea | paranoid_ndroid, christo_m: and you may need to restart firefox after the switch is made | 06:09 |
| Taigan | hello i have a question about 8.10 and a dell inspiron 300m regarding the wireless | 06:09 |

| bannik | soooo anyone got an answer for me? | 06:09 |
| webman | formode: dpkg -L <pkgname> | grep cgi | 06:09 |
| paranoid_ndroid | Gnea it's fixed | 06:09 |
| Flannel | think_linux: oh, check /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* too | 06:09 |
| paranoid_ndroid | thanks a lot! | 06:09 |
| Gnea | christo_m: what a simple: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp | 06:09 |
| zackeroo | b33r: it seems to me that its not an issue with Pidgin ... | 06:09 |
| AussieGuy | If your writing a program in c, should you always allocate memory for a struct, no matter what? | 06:09 |
| Gnea | paranoid_ndroid: cheers | 06:09 |
| webman | formode: then http://localhost/cgi-bin/filename | 06:09 |
| prathibha | Is anybody having idea on how to use libflasg-swfplayer | 06:09 |
| christo_m | Gnea: that works | 06:10 |
| b33r | zackeroo, sorry I don't know you can give empathy a try sudo apt-get install empathy | 06:10 |
| christo_m | Gnea: il restart firefox and try | 06:10 |
| prathibha | How to use libflash-swf player | 06:10 |
| webman | AussieGuy: Not sure, but I think so.... | 06:10 |
| Gnea | christo_m: okay | 06:10 |
| AussieGuy | I had a program crashing problem until I allocated memory | 06:10 |
| Taigan | any one having problems with old intel wireless cards with 8.10 update? | 06:10 |
| zackeroo | b33r: ok ... trying it now | 06:10 |
| webman | Flannel: did you see my error messages? any suggestions ? | 06:10 |
| think_linux | Flannel:ther is apt.conf.d | 06:10 |
| think_linux | Flannel:not apt.conf | 06:10 |
| christo_m | Gnea: youtube still doesnt work | 06:11 |
| russ | anyone know how I can get dual monitors working: using nvidia card | 06:11 |
| kelvin911 | i just checked on dell website, it is cheaper to buy the same laptop with vista installed | 06:11 |
| kelvin911 | dont know why? | 06:11 |
| Flannel | webman: I did. Unfortunately no suggestions. Check launchpad for bug reports, see if there are workarounds. Unfortunately that's all I can suggest. | 06:11 |
| Formode | webman, I have my computer set up with Apache, how would someone remotely use it? | 06:11 |
| Flannel | kelvin911: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for that | 06:11 |
| kgod | russ: I've had luck with xrandr, I understand there's native support in nvidia though I've no tmessed with it. | 06:11 |
| christo_m | Gnea: neither do any mp3s with totemplayer | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | russ normally for me. get nvidia drivers going, install nvidia-settings tool, backup existing xorg.conf, run sudo nvidia-settings, configure, save new xorg.conf. restart X. done. | 06:11 |
| Gnea | christo_m: pulseaudio could still have a lock on the device... type this in a terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop | 06:11 |
| russ | kgod: is that in the package manager? | 06:12 |
| b33r | zackeroo, btw have you uninstalled your previous pidgin before installing from source? | 06:12 |
| christo_m | Gnea: i fucking hate pulse audio.. | 06:12 |
| zackeroo | b33r: yes ... for sure | 06:12 |
| Gnea | christo_m: totem you might need to change the audio settings a bit | 06:12 |
| Taigan | can some one help me out with a wireless problem with 8.10 | 06:12 |
| kgod | russ: xrandr is, yes... | 06:12 |
| think_linux | Flannel: what about a program called tor? | 06:12 |
| Gnea | christo_m: please, there's no swearing in here - but yes, so do I | 06:12 |
| zackeroo | I think its more to do with that other thing and not Pidgin | 06:12 |
| webman | Flannel: I doubt it is bug related to the upgrade... I stuffed the upgrade... (I have a cronjob to delete /var/cache/apt/archives each night, and I left the upgrade running overnight)... | 06:12 |
| chris4585 | Dr_willis, will that work for the problems in 8.10 with nvidia cards? | 06:12 |
| kgod | russ: x11-server-utils package | 06:12 |
| christo_m | Gnea: lol my bad, also it didnt fix the problem | 06:12 |
| Gnea | christo_m: okay, try logging out then back in | 06:13 |
| christo_m | Gnea: mplayer works as usual, its the best | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | chris4585 no idea. the nvidia package manager tool installed them and they worked forme from the start. | 06:13 |
| christo_m | Gnea: bah i shouldve started irssi in a tty session | 06:13 |
| christo_m | Gnea: okay here i go, ill be back shortly if it borkes again | 06:13 |
| Gnea | christo_m: ok | 06:13 |
| chris4585 | Dr_willis, ok thanks | 06:13 |
| webman | Flannel: so I restored from backup, but something still wasn't 100%, so I tried the upgrade again, and it failed which is where I am now.... hence, I figure a re-install might be the best option... | 06:13 |
| zackeroo | b33r: how do you install a backend for the protocols in empathy? | 06:14 |
| zackeroo | b33r: I want to use MSN, Yahoo and IRC | 06:14 |
| Formode | Trying to figure out how to Access my CGI-IRC installation (From Apt-get) remotely. Anyone aware what the address would be? | 06:14 |
| b33r | zackeroo, should be already there | 06:14 |
| Flannel | think_linux: That too could do it, yes. | 06:14 |
| Boohbah | Formode: no, but you could do 'netstat -anp' on your server to find which port it's listening on | 06:15 |
| webman | formode: your external IP address... if you are outside of the network where the box is... | 06:15 |
| christo_1 | Gnea: it didnt work :( | 06:15 |
| think_linux | Flannel: still nothing lol | 06:15 |
| Flannel | think_linux: basically whats happening is youve got apt looking to connect to the remote servers through your own computer on port 4001 (like a proxy). Said proxy doesn't exist, so its not getting anywhere. | 06:15 |
| zackeroo | b33r: its not there .. its telling me I have to install backends for every protocol I want ot use | 06:15 |
| Venin | how to disable touchpad when typing on keyboard? | 06:15 |

| Taigan | can some one help me with a wireless problem | 06:16 |
| christo_1 | Gnea: whats weird is i heard the junlge sound on gdm | 06:16 |
| christo_1 | Gnea: i know sound works, its just flash and mozilla thats creating some big problems | 06:16 |
| b33r | zackeroo, weird it didn't ask me anything when I installed it | 06:16 |
| webman | think_linux: if it really is trying to connect on 4001 ... I haven't followed your problem closely | 06:16 |
| Flannel | think_linux: I'm going to suggest google. That's ultimately how I found it last time. There's a number of places it could be, yeah, try what webman suggets, grepping for 4001 | 06:16 |

| christo_1 | Gnea: yes | 06:17 |
| zackeroo | b33r: oh ... I am using Hardy here .. | 06:17 |

| christo_1 | Gnea: and mp3s etc work with mplayer, so i know the sounds fine | 06:17 |
| Formode | webman, I tried that, I got nothing but "Does not exist" | 06:17 |
| christo_1 | Gnea: somethings wrong when i try to use mozilla to play sound oriented apps | 06:17 |
| webman | think_linux: should not need to... but it won't hurt anything | 06:17 |
| pjKevin | hah | 06:17 |
| pjKevin | i fixed my problem | 06:17 |
| webman | formode: so did you see the filename it installed as ? | 06:18 |
| Gnea | christo_1: you'll need to check the configuration settings for the audio output for totem then... as for mozilla...hrmmm.. | 06:18 |
| think_linux | webman : it gave me a bunch of information | 06:18 |
| Ohmu | christo_1, thx | 06:18 |

| Taigan | christo_1:have you tried to kill pulse audio? | 06:21 |
| christo_1 | Taigan: yes | 06:21 |
| chris4585 | StevenX, you need to put sudo before startx | 06:21 |
| foufga | would anyone be willing to help w/ a ubuntu-as-a-server problem? i think everything is routed correctly, and my permissions are set. but ubuntu will -not- serve up a mysql database remotely | 06:21 |

| kgod | StevenX: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common (I think) | 06:21 |
| Taigan | christo_1: how did you try it? | 06:21 |

| Taigan | christo_1: command line or system monitor? | 06:22 |
| christo_1 | Taigan: commandline | 06:22 |
| kgod | christo_1: Nope. /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config | 06:22 |

| Taigan | christo_1: try command line | 06:22 |
| Taigan | i mean system monitor | 06:22 |
| christo_1 | Taigan: lol, okay | 06:22 |
| christo_1 | Taigan: what is it again, paman or soething? | 06:22 |
| kgod | StevenX: Actually, should be dpkg-reconfigure x11-common | 06:22 |
| Taigan | christo_1:system -> adminitration -> system monitor | 06:22 |
| Taigan | i believe | 06:22 |
| foufga | webman: there's no /etc/default/mysql, but the normal files/sockets are in /etc/mysql | 06:23 |
| StevenX | chris4585: but then won't I be running the other xserver as root. | 06:23 |
| StevenX | chris4585: which is kind of dangerous. | 06:23 |
| StevenX | kgod: I will try that. | 06:23 |
| christo_1 | Taigan: okay its not running | 06:23 |
| think_linux | webman : http://paste.ubuntu.com/67144/ | 06:23 |

| dfgas | Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.1b2pre and 1.9.1b2pre how do i fix this? | 06:24 |
| christo_1 | the sound system on linux is doo doo | 06:24 |
| Boohbah | StevenX: it is only dangerous if you allow the internet to connect to your X server | 06:24 |
| Taigan | christo_1: it's sound manager isn't to bad it helped me select a different audio card that would not be as easy otherwise | 06:24 |
| webman | formode: try hostname/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi | 06:24 |
| Boohbah | christo_1: which one? | 06:24 |
| kgod | StevenX: Convention is to set allowed_users to 'console'. If it's 'root', only root can run startx. If it's 'console' you have to run startx from a text console (VT1-VT6). You can't start a session from another X session. | 06:24 |
| christo_1 | Boohbah: the whole bloody thing is a mess, too many components relying on each othe | 06:24 |
| Taigan | quick question to every one to allow non-root to read/write it's chmod 775 right? | 06:25 |
| christo_1 | Taigan, Gnea what do you suggest? | 06:25 |
| webman | think_linux: can you pastebig the file /tmp/output after "strace -o /tmp/output apt-get update" | 06:25 |
| kgod | StevenX: If it's "anybody" (see Xwrapper.config(5)), there's a risk of a remote user starting up X on you, which may not be desireable. | 06:25 |
| Formode | webman, Thank you. I'm an idiot. | 06:25 |
| StevenX | kgod: thank you. I am going to try your method. | 06:25 |
| Taigan | Christo_1: that has worked for me in the past, i dont' have any other sugjestions sorry :\ | 06:25 |
| webman | taigan: nope, it is chmod 666 filename | 06:25 |
| christo_1 | Taigan: arite | 06:25 |
| Boohbah | Taigan: 777 | 06:25 |
| Taigan | ... | 06:25 |
| kgod | StevenX: NP. | 06:25 |
| webman | taigan: otherwise known as a+rw filename | 06:26 |
| Taigan | which one you two | 06:26 |
| nnull | anyway to run like zsnes on a CLI only install? | 06:26 |
| Venin | how to disable touchpad when typing on keyboard? | 06:26 |
| christo_1 | yea id rather use flags liek that than bit masks | 06:26 |
| Boohbah | Taigan: 777 will give execute privs too | 06:26 |
| christo_1 | anyway i gota go | 06:26 |
| webman | taigan: 777 is the same as a+rwx (ie, execute permission as well) | 06:26 |
| christo_1 | no youtube for me i guess | 06:26 |
| lovinglinux | I accidentally changed the permissions of lost+found in one drive. should I do a chown command with root:root? | 06:26 |
| Dr_willis | nnull if it has framebuffer/svga support it could.. but i dont know if it does | 06:26 |
| StevenX | I think I might need to restart in order for changes to take effect | 06:26 |
| Taigan | thank you, do you guys have any knowledge about old intel wireless cards not working in 8.10 | 06:26 |
| webman | lovinglinux: if there is nothing in lost+found, you can safely delete it, it will be re-created when/if needed | 06:27 |
| nnull | Dr_willis¬ it being the CLI install or the computer hardeware needed Sir? | 06:27 |
| Boohbah | Taigan: what is the chipset? check with lspci | 06:27 |
| russ | thx for the help | 06:27 |
| Taigan | Boohbah: let me get you the exact lspci | 06:27 |
| russ | anyone know how I can get my audio working :) | 06:27 |
| lovinglinux | webman: it will be created with the correct permissions? | 06:27 |

| kgod | Stevenx: Should be. Try it. 'sudo' of course. | 06:30 |
| russ | I need help getting my audio working: using creative card | 06:30 |
| kgod | Tetracomm: It varies. 'dpkg -L <package>' will list all contents. | 06:30 |
| Robb_M | werdnus: no, you have to start over because your install got corrupted....try making a new cd just to make sure its not the cd itself first though....remember to check the md5sum :) | 06:30 |
| russ | using Creative Labs SB X-Fi | 06:30 |
| kgod | Tetracomm: Frequently in /usr/share/doc/<package>-doc or /usr/share/doc/<package> (w/o the -doc). | 06:30 |
| Robb_M | !md5sum | werdnus | 06:31 |
| ubottu | werdnus: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 06:31 |
| werdnus | Robb_M: no, as in, I stopped it myself. | 06:31 |
| werdnus | Robb_M: Battery power ran out :/ | 06:31 |

| unitypunk | can anyone help me set up a webserver on my pc? | 06:31 |
| Robb_M | werdnus: yep, you have to start over buddy, sorry! skip the md5sum part if you know the cds good, i wasnt aware of your situation thats why i suggested that. | 06:32 |
| deftone | can anyone help me with a start up issue pleez?? | 06:32 |
| werdnus | Robb_M: but it's all okay, except for the boot record. It stopped at installing packages :/ | 06:32 |
| werdnus | so it has most of the core system, just no boot record yet | 06:33 |
| carpeliam | is there a way to verify the integrity of my linux install? or if i accidentally delete a file, a way to replace it? | 06:33 |

| DIFH-iceroot | phrostbite: use sudo | 06:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | !sudo | phrostbite | 06:34 |
| ubottu | phrostbite: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 06:34 |
| carpeliam | DIFH-iceroot, it makes sense to back up my data, but not to back up various OS files | 06:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | carpeliam: os files are your data too | 06:35 |

| Hawkz0r | b33r, I don't actually know - Ubuntu 8.04 (which didn't have this problem) had the same two options, and I just left it at 50hz. Windows always just went with 60hz. Can't find anything with quick google; EN9110 19" panel. | 06:56 |

| deftone | that's what i'm using...ultimate hardy and everything works out of the box. | 07:03 |
| kgod | gaintsura: coding, writing, mail, whatever. It's my primary editor, period. | 07:03 |

| crdlb | deftone: and "ultimate edition" is not supported here, so please do not recommend it. additionally, many people are using 965 chips just fine in intrepid | 07:04 |
| crdlb | if you haven't filed a bug, you really shouldn't complain | 07:04 |

| gasull | Hi. I have this line in a script | 07:21 |
| gasull | export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE="/tmp/" | 07:22 |
| kgod | paul68: That sounds like a pretty reasonable goal. I'm with dr_willis though: I don't mess w/ iptables directly myself, and would recommend using a front-end (eg: shorewall or similar) if you're going to mess with it. | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | !ufw | 07:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 07:22 |
| gasull | but the command i call afterwords in the script has another value for the variable PYTHON_EGG_CACHE | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | theres a gui to UFW out also | 07:22 |
| flaccid | hello, i would like to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 manually using the alternate cd and not the script contained on the alternate cd as i have a lot of custom packages installed. how can i do this eg. via setting up the iso as a repos ? | 07:22 |
| gasull | does anybody know why? | 07:23 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| kgod | gasull: You can't set a value *in* a script and have it be inherited by the parent. | 07:23 |
| kgod | gasull: Environment inheritence is parent>child ONLY. | 07:24 |
| kgod | gasull: If you're trying to set a value dynamically, use a shell function instead. | 07:24 |
| gasull | I want it inherited by the child | 07:24 |
| deftone | crdlb: then why is it that I installed Hardy and the problem isn't present at all? I can use compiz and all full settings without a hitch. So to me Intrepid is crap right now...too many bugs...not to say it will always be crap but for now it is. | 07:24 |
| regeya | man oh man, if I had money to donate to the gnome do authors, I would do so posthaste :-> it's quickly getting to be as useful as quicksilver. | 07:24 |
| gasull | kgod: I'm calling a command within the script. It should remember the variable, right? | 07:24 |
| kgod | gasull: Yes, it should. | 07:25 |
| octavius | okay guys... i've been out of everything thats going on since august...... on the wiki i see some DO NOT UPDATE thiing.... whats going on? | 07:25 |
| regeya | shucks, deftone, on my machine, I even dist-upgraded, and had very very few issues...but to be fair, I was calling hardy crap when I first installed it, yet many people loved it... | 07:25 |
| paul68 | kgod: I voluntary obliged myself to change my network and put my server after my isp modem and then you have to play with IPTABLES or others to make this work | 07:25 |

| dr_willis | gasull, write a few test scripts and see | 07:35 |

| crdlb | if that second command fails, you'll need to configure your xorg.conf manually | 07:41 |

| l_a_m | It can happen under various circumstances: | 07:57 |
| l_a_m | - a bug in libxklavier library | 07:57 |
| l_a_m | - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities) | 07:57 |

| Blackhawk | tanath, thanks I'll check that out | 07:57 |
| werdnus_ | ugh, I'm stuck in a grub prompt on my newly installed system. | 07:57 |
| elTigre | hangman_: you might try to change your card's "device" driver to vga for example, but that is a bad fix... you might loose all acceleration | 07:57 |
| werdnus_ | I think I forgot to write menu.list... | 07:58 |
| kgod | jim_p: what you select how/when? | 07:58 |
| werdnus_ | menu.lst* | 07:58 |
| hangman_ | elTigre: I'm pretty new to Linux, hope the following question doesn't sound too annoying: how do I check X's log? | 07:58 |
| elTigre | hangman_: I'm no expert with this, but in this channel nobody else is interested in helping you | 07:58 |
| jin_ | how can I do chfs my / partition if I'm logged in? | 07:58 |
| jin_ | or is tehre a way to force fs check on next reboot? | 07:58 |
| l_a_m | piti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/67174/ | 07:58 |
| jin_ | there* | 07:58 |
| elTigre | hangman_: less /var/log/X...something | 07:58 |
| kgod | werdnus_: 'update-grub' after you modify menu.list generally. If you can find your kernel, you can boot through the grub commandline. | 07:58 |
| jim_p | kgod: in first putty dialog, those radio buttons are ugly as... | 07:58 |
| werdnus_ | I've got separate / and /boot partitions, and it's having trouble mounting the root partition - I'm using kernel /vmlin<tab> root=/dev/sda2 ro | 07:58 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: I know, but I don't know how :) | 07:59 |
| kgod | jim_p: <shrug> | 07:59 |
| piti | l_a_m: sudo apt-get install -f ? | 07:59 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: it can't sync because It doesn't recognise /dev/sda2 as a filesystem. | 07:59 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: is there something I can do to tell it what's what? | 07:59 |
| kgod | werdnus_: 'c' to get to a command prompt. 'help' gives you help. | 07:59 |
| piti | are there broken or not fully configured packages ? | 07:59 |
| clearzen | hangman_: the logs for X are in /var/log/Xorg.0.log I believe | 07:59 |
| kgod | werdnus_: there's tab-completion for commands and files. | 07:59 |
| kgod | werdnus_: RAID? | 07:59 |
| kgod | werdnus_: ... what can't sync? grub or your kernel? | 08:00 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: kernel. | 08:00 |
| hangman_ | clearzen and elTigre: yeah, I found it, thanks | 08:00 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: It says "Can't mount root fs" or similar | 08:00 |
| tanath | hangman_, clearzen, also in ~/.xsession-errors | 08:00 |
| kgod | werdnus_: sounds like you need some modules in your initrd or other. What's the fileysstem on /dev/sda2? | 08:00 |
| deftone | man what is it with Xorg? have they all taken a damn vacation or something? | 08:00 |
| schnootop | when you start updating the ubuntu distro through the update manager can you pause or not ? | 08:01 |
| elTigre | hangman_: use a pastebin and post the link | 08:01 |
| kgod | deftone: I've heard they're all republicans.... | 08:01 |
| l_a_m | piti: why ? | 08:01 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: no, I think it doesn't know that /dev/sda2 means (hd0,1) | 08:01 |
| l_a_m | piti: all packages are correctly installed | 08:01 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: ext3 | 08:01 |
| hangman_ | elTigre: any way you know I can do that from the terminal? | 08:01 |
| kgod | schnootop: yes, you can pause. You may not be entirely happy with the results, but you should be able to restart the installer/packaging tools. | 08:01 |
| kgod | werdnus_: Are you sure it's not your swap partition or something? | 08:02 |
| schnootop | ahh ok thanks kgod :) | 08:02 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: yes | 08:02 |
| alterego | is there anyway to get svideo working with a ati radeon 2600 hd | 08:02 |
| elTigre | hangman_: depends on the terminal, your connection to the box etc | 08:02 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: typing root (hd0,<tab> | 08:02 |
| kgod | schnootop: NP | 08:02 |
| deftone | kgod: lmfao....something is going on over there and it's ticking me off | 08:02 |
| werdnus_ | gives me the list 0: ext2; 1: ext2; 2; ext2; 3: unknown (swap) | 08:02 |
| elTigre | hangman_: you might try copying the log file to your other computer and then copy and paste it for example | 08:02 |
| elTigre | hangman_: I assume you are in "console" mode | 08:03 |
| hangman_ | elTigre: yeah | 08:03 |
| kgod | werdnus_: A sample grub menu.lst for your reference: http://paste.debian.net/20625/ | 08:03 |
| kgod | werdnus_: You basically need the GRUB root (usually (hd0,0)), kernel, and initrd lines. | 08:04 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: what's this UUID stuff? | 08:04 |
| kgod | werdnus_: Ignore that. | 08:04 |
| werdnus_ | what should I put there instead? | 08:04 |
| kgod | werdnus_: I think it's identifying the boot partition by disk UUID. | 08:04 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: okay, so what should I put there instead? (hd0,1)? | 08:05 |
| kgod | werdnus_: Your true root partition. /dev/sda1, etc. | 08:05 |
| toogreen | Hi there, question, I have used the "Private" folder to store information, and after rebooting after a crash, I can't access this data anymore! Here's the error message when i type the mount command: | 08:05 |
| toogreen | sudo mount.ecryptfs_private | 08:05 |
| toogreen | fopen: No such file or directory | 08:05 |
| kgod | Make sure your initrd line is present. If you don't have an initrd already made, you'll need to fix things up by booting a livecd and chrooting into your install. | 08:05 |
| werdnus_ | I have an initrd | 08:05 |
| werdnus_ | but it seems to be working now... | 08:05 |
| toogreen | this is kind of a big deal as I got some important private data in there! | 08:05 |
| hangman_ | elTigre: I was able to mount an USB flash drive, I'm copying the file | 08:05 |
| werdnus_ | I don't know what I actually did :P | 08:05 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: maybe I forgot to specify the initrd last time. | 08:06 |
| elTigre | hangman_: That's another way | 08:06 |
| * werdnus_ watches everything work for some reason. | 08:06 | |
| toogreen | can anyone help me recover that data?? | 08:06 |
| werdnus_ | OTOH, it says it's Ubuntu 7.10 | 08:06 |
| * werdnus_ grumbles./ | 08:06 | |
| kgod | toogreen: How'd you create the private partition? I presume it's encrypted somehow. | 08:06 |
| kgod | werdnus_: Booty booty? | 08:06 |
| toogreen | kgod, i followed the instructions somewhere on the web, just installed ecryptfs package and configured it. | 08:07 |
| pogztimz | i am currently installing a server(ubuntu 8.04) in our school laboratory. i need help on how to access the server so i can work at home? | 08:07 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: booty booty. | 08:07 |
| toogreen | kgod, then it worked until i rebooted... | 08:07 |
| elTigre | another problem I have is that java applets are not working any more. In fact they crash the whole browser | 08:07 |
| kgod | toogreen: You should be able to mount the partition from a Linux livecd then, so long as you know the password. | 08:07 |
| werdnus_ | kgod: ah well, thanks :) | 08:07 |
| toogreen | kgod: i have to boot from a livecd just to do that? | 08:08 |
| kgod | toogreen: Depends. | 08:08 |

| Thraspic | Hey guys, what series of commands do I need to enter in order to install asleap? I've run "make", and it worked, but what now? "sudo make install" does nothing. | 08:09 |
| toogreen | kgod, what is partition most likely to be? like /dev/sda/private or something like that? | 08:09 |
| kgod | toogreen: My point is that Linux encryption is standard, so if it's a problem of having other stuff fouled up, you've got recovery options. | 08:09 |
| Blackhawk | hey guys | 08:09 |
| Blackhawk | how do you register a nickname | 08:09 |
| pogztimz | i am currently installing a server(ubuntu 8.04) in our school laboratory. i need help on how to access the server so i can work at home? | 08:09 |
| kgod | werdnus_: Check your grub config, fix it, and test w/ a reboot. | 08:09 |
| kgod | toogreen: You know where the private partition is? | 08:09 |

| toogreen | kgod, I have no idea! I just used the new Ibex feature, it's supposed to mount in /home/toogreen/Private/ | 08:10 |
| clearzen | pogztimz: you need the public ip of the network. An open port for ssh on nat(I assume there is a firewall) and ssh on a pc at your house. That's one way to do it. | 08:10 |
| toogreen | kgod, It did everything for me so I have no idea how ti works and so on | 08:10 |
| deftone | what's the command to run adept manager from the command line?? | 08:10 |

| Blackhawk | hmm | 08:12 |

| kgod | toogreen: The privacy comes from the encrypted-on-disk nature of the partition. When the partition is mounted, any process with access to the directory tree can read the data, but unless your user password is supplied at login, you can't see it. Or something like that, I'm sorta guessing. | 08:15 |

| im | jim_p: maybe java:( | 08:27 |
| kgod | BlackDex: There's a couple of ways you could get that sort of effect. | 08:28 |

I understand that 'support' means I will get security patches and updates of various software of the OS as soon as they are deemed stable for my 8.04. So what do I miss by not upgrading?

| rww | qstnn: if you're not having any problems with 8.04 (i.e., none of your hardware is unsupported, and no bugs affect you), you're going to get more stability out of 8.04, because something in 8.10 could break your setup. | 08:44 |

| Robb_M | !wubi | Oprtz | 08:44 |
| ubottu | Oprtz: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 08:44 |
| shes3k | kgod, hmm, ok | 08:44 |
| shes3k | let me try that | 08:44 |
| kgod | shes3k: You might try a 'dpkg --configure -a' and/or 'dpkg --configure --pending' which should finish any configuration of partially configured packages. In fact try that first. | 08:44 |
| rww | Oprtz: you can use Wubi, or partition your hard drive. If you'd like to partition, the install CD will give you instructions on it during installation | 08:45 |
| shes3k | kgod, which one? | 08:45 |
| kgod | shes3k: Also check that you didn't run out of space on any partitions, or run into system issues (check /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log, and/or dmesg. | 08:45 |
| Oprtz | Robb_M: i install ubuntu with wubi, but when i update the kernal it reports a crash because the partion if fat32 , | 08:45 |
| kgod | shes3k: dpkg --reconfigure -a | 08:45 |
| qstnn | rww: Don't you think I would get better stability if I use newer versions of all software? | 08:45 |
| kgod | shes3k: That and --pending are mostly equivalent. RTFM | 08:45 |
| kgod | shes3k: erm: "dpkg --configure -a" | 08:46 |
| rww | qstnn: As I said above, not necessarily. | 08:46 |
| shes3k | well, that didn't do anything | 08:46 |
| kgod | shes3k: Its 'con'figure, NOT REconfigure. | 08:46 |
| shes3k | I'll try the second one | 08:46 |
| shes3k | yeah, I know | 08:46 |
| shes3k | ok, both of them did nothing | 08:46 |
| qstnn | rww: Do upgrades over a period of time make a system more unstable, perform worse than clean installs? Would that be enough of a reason to only stick to LTS and not go hoping through all the releases? Or is that argument not strong enough? | 08:47 |

| spolvid | Can someone help me? | 08:49 |
| rww | qstnn: Again, it's a trade-off. If you want up-to-date software, upgrade. If you care more about stability, and you're having problems with 8.04, 8.10 might fixthose problems. If you're doing fine on 8.04 and value stability more than new features, you might want to stick with what you have, because it's stable. | 08:49 |

| shes3k | kgod, it probably happened because calling /etc/init.d/apache2 stop doesn't actually stop it | 08:51 |
| kgod | shes3k: I think your package state is sane. If you don't want to remove g++, gcc-3.3, etc., then sort out what's going on or reinstall the packages after (sometimes you just have to wrestle with apt). | 08:51 |
| shes3k | so it couldn't run it again | 08:51 |

| rww | Oprtz: Yeah, it is :). Some caveats: make sure you do backups before any major disk editing, including partitioning for Ubuntu. You may not be able to resize partitions if they're heavily defragmented or don't have enough free space. Resizing partitions may take a while, because a lot of data needs to be moved around. | 08:51 |

| matrix_ | to remove it by hand. | 08:57 |
| FloodBot1 | matrix_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:57 |

| vonderer | somehow it doesn't work for me | 08:58 |
| rww | sken: If FSCK's name violates Ubuntu's CoC, I recommend you direct your advice towards a channel op who can kick him. | 08:58 |
| spolvid | Also, I'm mainly a Mac guy so I have no clue what most of this stuff means :P | 08:58 |

| werdnus | !ssh | pogztimz | 09:00 |
| vonderer | hello there, does anybody use MOC player? | 09:00 |
| ubottu | pogztimz: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 09:00 |
| werdnus | !vnc | pogztimz | 09:00 |
| ubottu | pogztimz: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 09:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | rww: i highly doubt it, most of them have a lot more tact than that. | 09:00 |
| Slash_Network | I have a partition that contain hardy and work well, but when I've installed ubuntu 8.10 (64 bit) in the other partiotion, I don't find the /boot/grub. So the files system of 8.10 exist but I can't boot. I can boot only with hardy. Any help ? | 09:00 |

| pogztimz | i am currently installing a server(ubuntu 8.04) in our school laboratory. i need help on how to access the server so i can work at home? | 09:02 |
| Magilla | pogztimz: you will need to make sure you can get through the firewall, and probably forward the port to the server as well | 09:02 |
| sken | everywhere we need to have fun | 09:02 |
| werdnus | Flannel: where's that script again? | 09:03 |
| werdnus | auto_bleh.pl, right? | 09:03 |
| pogztimz | <Magilla> can u pls instruct me how to do that? | 09:03 |
| Flannel | pogztimz: use ssh, install openssh-server, and you'll be able to connect from anywhere in a terminal (asuming you're properly port forwarded, etc) | 09:03 |

| Magilla | pogztimz: you will need to consult the documentation for whatever router/firewall the school uses, as they all work differently | 09:03 |
| Flannel | pogztimz: Does the server have a public IP? | 09:04 |
| Flannel | FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: Please keep the non-support portions of your comments to a minimum, thanks. | 09:04 |

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 | 09:12 |

| ruxpin | why? | 09:56 |
| ruxpin | just alter the kernel boot line | 09:56 |
| sken | the upload speed is more the download in deluge | 09:56 |
| unop | TiMiDo, stander? what's that? | 09:56 |
| sken | does anybody know the configurations | 09:56 |
| sken | ? | 09:56 |
| TiMiDo | unop, stander grub. | 09:57 |
| rww | TiMiDo: Yup! Open /boot/grub/menu.lst (with sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst), search in that file for "splash" and remove it (should be near the end of a long line), save the file, then run sudo update-grub | 09:57 |
| TiMiDo | i hate bootsplash | 09:57 |

| remoteCTR2 | rww: i jusat saw you can command it what server to use by simply opening the adjust date and time menu from the clock... | 10:17 |

| darksifer | hi everyone. i have ubuntu 8.10.i am having problems with my usb wireless adapter. i connect to the internet through my router wirelessly. i succeeded to create the wireless connection. i have a dynamic ip. therefore my computer losses the internet connection and the wireless connection does not keep my WPA-PSK. so everytime i have to disconnect my adapter and recreate a new connection.can someone help me solve this prob plz :| | 10:18 |
| rww | remoteCTR2: or that. I assumed you were running in cli only | 10:18 |
| remoteCTR2 | rww: rofl now io did that and it tells me cannot connect to server 0.pool.ntp.org BUT it adjusted the time:D | 10:18 |

| KingOfDos | i know that there is the "puppet-manager" package | 10:27 |
| remoteCTR2 | ActionParsnip1: all right in that case i will upgrade mine first and if its ok i will upgtrade my users' machines:) thanks for info | 10:27 |
| KingOfDos | but is there another "official" way? | 10:27 |
| jim_p | KingOfDos: like... update from a local lan pc? | 10:27 |

| ziroday | linux_trojan: like using a service such as no-ip or dyndns? | 10:39 |
| linux_trojan | can that be done if I have my own domain name? | 10:39 |

| linux_trojan | yea, I have my own domain like "www.linuxtrojan.com" for instance | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: then you'll have to pay for it | 10:42 |
| linux_trojan | I have to buy a fixed IP? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: no you can buy the name and refresh the ip to your current one | 10:42 |
| rww | ziroday, DIFH-iceroot: mutt works great, thanks :) | 10:43 |
| linux_trojan | manually configure it or is there a program that can do it for me? | 10:43 |

| linux_trojan | how stupid | 10:47 |

| dr_willis | I had MythTV going very well. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: you can with a tv card and capture software | 10:51 |
| remoteCTR2 | can it be that my kubuntu doesnt recognize a nvidia quadro fx 770? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: then learn and make scripts etc to make it easier | 10:51 |
| linux_trojan | Myth TV can download tv schedules and setup timed recordings? | 10:51 |
| rww | remoteCTR2: Are you using Intrepid? It has problems with some Nvidia cards, I hear. | 10:52 |
| remoteCTR2 | rww: nope standard out if the box kubuntu | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, you can.. but unfortuntly - to get tv schedules you have to subscribe to some service.. like $10 a year.. | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, unless its changed by now. check in #mythbuntu | 10:52 |
| remoteCTR2 | rww: i tryed the fx generic driver which rendes my kde unbootable | 10:52 |
| rww | remoteCTR2: Right, but is that kubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) or kubuntu 8.04 (hardy) :P | 10:52 |
| linux_trojan | lol they have a chat room for that? | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, you can even rcord and auto-zap commercials and auto-convert to avi or whatever | 10:53 |

| scientes | anyway tp turn off al the compiz animations | 11:00 |
| remoteCTR2 | is it a good idea to install the nvidia restricted driver from their homepage? cos kubuntu definitely dont recon my card | 11:00 |
| jim_p | !putty | 11:00 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 11:00 |
| Venin | hehe.. yeah.. i wanna watch some video clips now.. but i dont want to reboot :p | 11:00 |
| RJ2 | anyone else having the "mouse buttons stop working" problem? | 11:00 |
| scientes | i like the functionality and have a fast macine but animations are honestly uite useless and nauseating | 11:00 |
| scientes | most things you can only make really fast but cant turn off transition animation on | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | !ccsm | scientes | 11:00 |
| ubottu | scientes: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 11:00 |
| col_panik | jokeusa using your administrative account you can edit their account to -not- be able to do that | 11:00 |
| scientes | oi am using that | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | scientes, i disable most stuff. and just enable what i like | 11:01 |
| scientes | the advanced stuff has good functions and key bindings but the animations suck if you dont like it | 11:01 |
| scientes | i just want all the animations to be 2 frames | 11:02 |
| scientes | except like the cube which is very simple and you are in control | 11:02 |
| ziroday | scientes: you can still run compiz with no animations if you want | 11:02 |
| scientes | how? you have to turn off viewport switching etc | 11:02 |
| scientes | cause those things have mandatory animations | 11:02 |
| ziroday | scientes: disable the animations plugin in ccsm | 11:02 |
| sken | i installed TeX Live: Greek typesetting | 11:03 |
| col_panik | speaking of video, i need a program to split a video file into individual frames for editting...anybody have a suggestion? I'd like to do it in bulk. | 11:03 |
| sken | can i open it? | 11:03 |
| sken | is it for subtitles? | 11:03 |

| abid-linux | sken: ?? | 11:06 |
| col_panik | jokeusa then just turn off their administrative check box.....that should do it I'd thnk | 11:06 |
| Wavesonics | I'm using NVidia's XServer tool, but I can't get it to allow me to select the resolution and refresh rate I want for my 2nd monitor, any ideas? | 11:06 |
| sken | i installed TeX Live: Greek typesetting | 11:07 |
| sken | can i open it? <sken>is it for subtitles? | 11:07 |
| abid-linux | hi all | 11:07 |
| col_panik | jokeusa from there you should see a variety of extra access things you might want to consider if they really need access to | 11:08 |
| sken | abid-linux? | 11:08 |
| abid-linux | sken: ? | 11:08 |
| jokeusa | col_panik - ooohh, so its one button | 11:08 |
| jokeusa | cool | 11:08 |
| col_panik | jokeusa yup | 11:08 |
| Sharp_eyes | afdf | 11:08 |
| col_panik | =) | 11:08 |
| rabe | hi again... | 11:08 |
| sken | i already asked | 11:09 |
| Sharp_eyes | ? | 11:09 |
| col_panik | jokeusa but i am by no means an "expert" | 11:09 |
| rabe | could anyone give me a hint how to open a fileserver path in nautilus like in windows using \\192.168.x.x ?? | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | rabe, its smb://workgroup/server/share I think | 11:10 |
| Sharp_eyes | do any body know that how can i use vnc in ubuntu | 11:10 |
| Sharp_eyes | ??? | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | rabe, gnome file manager has a network places/connect to .... features | 11:10 |
| nickgarvey | !vnc | Sharp_eyes | 11:10 |
| ubottu | Sharp_eyes: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 11:10 |
| col_panik | Sharp_eyes, might want to specify which system is the host etc in the question | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | Sharp_eyes, deopends on what you mean.. under gnome - remote desktop-> enable to share current desktop | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | or install a vncserver for a 'hidden' desktop | 11:10 |
| nickgarvey | Sharp_eyes: actually that's not particularly useful, don't bother going to that link useless you want it encrypted | 11:11 |
| rabe | yes its the right way... | 11:11 |
| rabe | its loading... | 11:11 |
| col_panik | anybody have a suggestion for a channel to request assistance re: video editting? | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dr_willis: idont think you need workgroup, I think thats defined elsewhere | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | I was suprised at how well the Gnome desktop shareing worked. | 11:11 |
| Sharp_eyes | i want to view my clients desktop throught vnc and he is using windows vista and im using linux | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | ActionParsnip1, :) i tend to use fusesmb these days.. dont have a gnome file manager handy | 11:11 |
| maxagaz | how to read rmvb videos on intrepid ibex ? | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | dr_willis: i use sm.conf and mount | 11:12 |
| rabe | ah no it does not work.... | 11:12 |
| sken | how do i know that i have the latest version of ubuntu | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !realplayer | maxagaz | 11:12 |
| cheniatata | hello.. | 11:12 |
| ubottu | maxagaz: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 11:12 |
| scientes | turning off the animation plugin didnt turn off the animations | 11:12 |
| col_panik | sken latest is 8.10 | 11:12 |
| cheniatata | hello.. | 11:12 |
| jim_p | sken: uname -r | 11:12 |
| scientes | wait i guess it just had to kick in | 11:12 |
| pretender | how can i display my ext3 storage partitions on the desktop? | 11:12 |
| jim_p | sken: this will tell you the kernel, which identifies the version | 11:12 |
| scientes | thx | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | pretender, just drag/drop make a link from whever its mounted to the desktop | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pretender: mount them in /media | 11:13 |
| sken | 2.6.27-7-generic | 11:13 |
| === yuri_ is now known as m4steR | ||
| sken | is that the latest? | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pretender: or symlink them | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | or just put them in the 'places' menu :) | 11:13 |
| linux_trojan | I wonder if MythTV can work from within VMware? | 11:13 |
| jim_p | pretender: sken you are on 8.10, latest | 11:13 |
| jim_p | oooops | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sken: kernels arent about latest, its about what supports all your hardware | 11:13 |
| Sharp_eyes | dr_willis: can i use default remote for viewing some 1s pc | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, it may not be able to access the tv tuner hardware that way | 11:13 |
| RJ2 | well, if anyone else has the "mouse buttons stop working" problem, it seems like adding the mouse/kb options back into xorg.conf, and stopping hal might mitigate it, fwiw | 11:13 |
| jim_p | sken: you are on 8.10, latest | 11:13 |
| linux_trojan | yea | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | Sharp_eyes, thats what its designed for... | 11:13 |
| col_panik | sken yup | 11:13 |
| m4steR | there is a log for passwords changes? | 11:14 |
| linux_trojan | does MythTV come bundled with UBUNTU or is it a different OS? | 11:14 |
| m4steR | i'm under ubuntu 8.10 | 11:14 |
| boozkachu | Hi, does anyone else have to do 'sudo ufw enable/disable' to get bridged networking to work in virtualbox ose? | 11:14 |
| sken | i heard about 2.6.27-15 | 11:14 |
| Sharp_eyes | but the person is using windows vista | 11:14 |
| ADREAL | hii mijn friends | 11:14 |
| RJ2 | linux_trojan: google mythbuntu | 11:14 |
| linux_trojan | I think my TV card will work Hauppauge 1250 | 11:14 |
| jim_p | linux_trojan: mythtv is an app. it comes preinstalled in mythbuntu and mythdora :| | 11:14 |
| sken | that's why i'm telling you | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sken: for latest kernels go to www.kernel.org | 11:14 |
| linux_trojan | ok so I have to download the mythbuntu OS cd | 11:15 |
| jim_p | linux_trojan: *a media center app. there other apps for the job too | 11:15 |
| linux_trojan | ? | 11:15 |
| maxagaz | ActionParsnip1: it didn't help | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sken: you dont need a new one if the kernel you have runs all your hardware | 11:15 |
| jim_p | linux_trojan: no you can just install mythtv on yours | 11:15 |
| maxagaz | ActionParsnip1: ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | maxagaz: maye they need tweaking | 11:15 |
| ziroday | linux_trojan: correct, you can also install mythtv and the mythbuntu packages in your current ubuntu install | 11:16 |
| linux_trojan | just install mythtv directly into ubuntu8.10? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | maxagaz: with some settings or similar | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: yeah why not? | 11:16 |
| linux_trojan | ok I understand | 11:16 |
| linux_trojan | I might just install Ubuntu over Vista this weekend | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: good choice | 11:17 |
| waqas | I'm trying to screen to someone else's screen. I have root. Doing screen -r someone/17210.lppd I get "There is a screen on: 17210.lppx (Private)" "There is no screen to be attached matching 17210.lppd." - any idea how I can get this to work? | 11:17 |
| jim_p | linux_trojan: yea... sudo apt-get install.... | 11:17 |
| sken | does anybody know about text live Greek typesetting? | 11:17 |
| sken | can i open it? | 11:17 |
| linux_trojan | yea I gotta write this down brb | 11:17 |
| sken | is it for subtitles? | 11:17 |
| jim_p | sken: iso-8859-7 | 11:17 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, it may ne easier to use the mythbuntu livecd/installer cd.. depends on your Linux-Skills | 11:17 |
| sken | what's that jimbo | 11:17 |
| jim_p | sken: its the greek encoding setting! | 11:18 |
| Wavesonics | is the 3D desktop cube gone in 8.10? | 11:18 |
| ziroday | Wavesonics: nope its still ther | 11:18 |
| linux_trojan | I take it that mythbuntu live CD is just ubuntu with mythtv on it? and can install to hard drive? | 11:18 |
| ziroday | !ccsm | Wavesonics | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Wavesonics: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 11:18 |
| jim_p | sken: can you please instruct me what you want to do with subtitles? | 11:18 |
| pretender | <jim_p> i am running 8.10 | 11:19 |
| ziroday | linux_trojan: correct, it also contains some mythbuntu specific packages and artword | 11:19 |
| ziroday | *artwork | 11:19 |
| sken | can i download it? or it's installed? | 11:19 |
| jim_p | pretender: sorry it was a typo earlier | 11:19 |
| linux_trojan | so if I have Ubuntu 8.10, then all I need is ap-get mythtv and mythubuntu? I hope I understand this | 11:19 |
| sken | i want to put greek subtitles in my movies | 11:19 |
| Wavesonics | thanks all :) | 11:19 |
| ziroday | linux_trojan: that is correct | 11:19 |

| linux_trojan | yep, like, Windows Just Doesnt Work, BUGS | 11:21 |
| linux_trojan | lots of bugs | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: lots of bugs in linux too, just different bugs | 11:21 |
| linux_trojan | yea but I dont have to pay $500 for bugs | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | no , you pay in time and effort instead | 11:22 |
| rakan | why doesn't cgmail autostart on gnome startup? | 11:22 |
| linux_trojan | and pay for buggs that only work with special drivers that other OS dont have coz of agreements with MS | 11:22 |
| ziroday | rakan: you can get it to autostart | 11:22 |
| speakman_ | hi ubuntu folks ! | 11:22 |
| m4steR | there is a log for passwords changes? | 11:22 |
| rakan | ziroday: yes i can, and i did... but it doesnt | 11:23 |
| linux_trojan | if I am gonna get bugs I wanna get them for free | 11:23 |
| Wavesonics | how do I change the number of desktops? | 11:23 |
| jim_p | please help. i need a gui ssh thing :( putty is as ugly as... | 11:23 |
| ziroday | rakan: when you run it under the command line, does it run fine? | 11:23 |
| ziroday | Wavesonics: you can do so in ccsm | 11:23 |
| linux_trojan | and use hacked drivers coz the manufactures wont provided them coz they are scared of M$ | 11:23 |
| speakman_ | Why is'nt dual monitors working in intrepid ibex by default? | 11:23 |
| speakman_ | isn't even | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: all im saying is linux has a place and windows has a place. lots of people dislike ubuntu and love windows, horses for courses | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | speakman_: very little of that ilk works by default | 11:24 |
| ziroday | speakman_: do you have the graphics drivers installed? | 11:24 |
| speakman_ | Anyone got two monitors working? | 11:24 |
| rakan | ziroday: yes,,, actually its running fine now... but it used to run automatically when i run gnome at startup on hardy | 11:24 |
| linux_trojan | I guess | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !dualhead | speakman_ | 11:24 |
| ubottu | speakman_: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 11:24 |
| ziroday | rakan: you can add it again in System > Preferences > Session | 11:24 |
| speakman_ | ziroday: sure, nvidia propritary 177 (delivered by ubuntu itself) | 11:24 |
| vlt | jim_p: What's your ssh problem? | 11:25 |
| pretender | found doco on creating links thanks | 11:25 |
| ziroday | speakman_: and have you tried using the nvidia settings tool? | 11:25 |
| rakan | ziroday: do u know what params it needs to also start service automatically? | 11:25 |
| speakman_ | ziroday: nope, is it packaged with ubuntu? | 11:25 |
| ziroday | rakan: add it to the autostart list | 11:25 |
| ziroday | speakman_: yep, the package is called nvidia-settings | 11:25 |
| speakman_ | (I renamed my xorg.conf to test out the automagic in ibex, but it doesn't work very well this far) | 11:25 |
| jim_p | vlt: as i said earlier, i cant ssh from the terminal! i can ssh from putty only. but putty's terminal has tiny little letters and putty interface is weird! | 11:26 |
| linux_trojan | I am downloading the live cd right now | 11:27 |
| speakman_ | ziroday: it says i'm probably not running nvidia x-driver. As I said, it's all going by default since i removed my xorg.conf | 11:27 |
| ziroday | speakman_: err, you should still have an xorg.conf. Have you installed the nvidia drivers from the hardware manager? | 11:27 |
| linux_trojan | I have 2 TB of HD space just for movies and MP3s | 11:28 |
| vlt | jim_p: What happens when you run `ssh <server>` from the terminal? | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, lightweight... :P | 11:28 |
| linux_trojan | lol | 11:28 |
| linux_trojan | cost me alot of money | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | its scary as i slowly replace my 120gb hd's with 1tb hds how fast i fill them up | 11:28 |
| jim_p | vlt: i wait and wait and nothing happens! putty connects me in a snap | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | I need to invest in some external SATA stuff someday soon | 11:29 |
| speakman_ | ziroday: reinstalling the nvidia driver from "Hardware Drivers" menu | 11:29 |
| vlt | jim_p: Can you try `ssh -vv <server>`? Does that tell you anything interesting? | 11:29 |
| linux_trojan | I bought 2 IOMEGA USB drives for backup | 11:29 |
| linux_trojan | each TB | 11:29 |
| dr_willis | I just build my own. :) | 11:29 |
| linux_trojan | *each 1 TB | 11:30 |
| Dorobo18jp | can some one help me i am trying to upgrade my pidgin but am getting lost | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: you can by 2 x 1Tb drives in the UK for 100 quid | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cheapness galore | 11:30 |
| Joint | Dorobo18jp, updating you're pidgin? | 11:30 |
| Dorobo18jp | yes thechat program | 11:30 |
| jim_p | vlt: wait... | 11:30 |
| linux_trojan | my cost me $170 each about 3 months ago | 11:30 |
| linux_trojan | at frys.com | 11:30 |
| Joint | Dorobo18jp, hmm i know what is it? | 11:30 |
| Joint | but updating. it how though? | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: pretty cheap | 11:31 |
| linux_trojan | yea I thought so | 11:31 |
| Dorobo18jp | tellingme to revore stuff compile stuff i am newat linuxso getting totally lost | 11:31 |
| linux_trojan | but they tried to see me some expensive strorage server with its own IP address and remote access | 11:32 |
| linux_trojan | like $800 | 11:32 |
| linux_trojan | *sell me | 11:32 |
| jim_p | vlt: seems that the server is closed now. neither terminal nor putty can log me in | 11:32 |
| dr_willis | Dorobo18jp, some times you just have to spend time and learn the basics befor you can do the advanced stuff. | 11:32 |
| schnoodles | umm eep. i am doing the distribution upgrade and its up to the grub part of the install and its frozen, what would be the best thing to do :| | 11:32 |
| ziroday | schnoodles: how long have you waited? | 11:32 |
| schnoodles | about 10 mins. The debconf;s pages gui has screwed up | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: could just run a koolu box with a usb drive for a nas | 11:33 |
| linux_trojan | yea thats too fancy for me right now, maybe in couple years I will advance to a storage server | 11:34 |
| schnoodles | ziroday, does it usually hang ? | 11:34 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, i saw one of those storage servers.. that had its own torrent client built in. :) | 11:34 |
| schnoodles | no cpu is really getting used :\ | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: not hard, samba shared folder on a server isnt hard | 11:34 |
| ziroday | schnoodles: shouldn't dp | 11:34 |
| ziroday | schnoodles: which part is it up to again? | 11:34 |
| schnoodles | do you know what the best approach would be, like if i restart will it destroy | 11:35 |
| schnoodles | it was asked me about menu.lst and do i want to change it or not | 11:35 |
| ziroday | schnoodles: so its still installing/configuring applications? | 11:35 |
| linux_trojan | right now my main problem is that Windows Media Center has its own format MS-DVS or something and I cant convert that to MPEG or AVI | 11:35 |
| linux_trojan | I hate it | 11:36 |
| schnoodles | yes | 11:36 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, theres proberly a way to convert them | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: MS hates anythng other than MS | 11:36 |
| schnoodles | ziroday because the gui isnt drawn correctly it looks like its frozen | 11:36 |
| ziroday | schnoodles: then it really is quite dangerous to just cancel the upgrade | 11:36 |
| linux_trojan | I think there is a package in Linux, KINIO? | 11:36 |
| ziroday | linux_trojan: you mean kino? | 11:36 |
| linux_trojan | but the windows files are like 10 gigs so it takes a lot of space | 11:36 |
| dr_willis | linux_trojan, theres dozens of fancy video tools for linux. Most are not GUI however.. :) but once ya learn how to use them | 11:37 |
| linux_trojan | yea KINO | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | movie editing is a bit of a different task then video recoding | 11:37 |
| schnoodles | ziroday, if it doesnt go anywhere what should i do then. i mean if it HAS frozen :P | 11:37 |
| pinger22m | hello world | 11:38 |
| VSpike | If I mount a samba share with samba, and the share contains symlink outside of the share, should I see the contents of the symlinks transparently or broken symlinks? | 11:38 |
| ziroday | schnoodles: err, well all the options I can think of are dangerous, best thing I can see is to cancel | 11:38 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, i belive the samba configs have a 'follow symlinks' option.. or somting like that.. I can follow the links I belive | 11:38 |
| linux_trojan | right now all my MS-DVS files are on one comp with NTFS partitioning and I need to transfer it to my laptop iwth ext3 partitioning, its gonna be a big job if I unless I get Mythbuntu installed | 11:38 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, however its best to not have 'fancy' things like that in samba shares.. | 11:39 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, watch out for filenames that just differ in Case also. | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: just restore the data from backup to your linux system | 11:39 |
| linux_trojan | lol | 11:39 |
| Roey | ActionParsnip1: hahahah I love your nick | 11:39 |
| linux_trojan | its not backed up lol | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: seriously? | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Roey: its a harry hill joke | 11:40 |
| linux_trojan | I hate to backup | 11:40 |
| linux_trojan | gives me headaches | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: what if your hard drives fail? | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, I can confirm.. a link to / from a share lets me get to / :) | 11:40 |
| linux_trojan | I live life on the edge | 11:40 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: how are you accessing the share? nautilus? | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, accessing a samba server on a linux box from vista right now | 11:40 |
| leonard_pop | hello! i cannot play movies well. i have image and sound but the image keeps flashing white. i have ubuntu 8.10 | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: lost data will cause more headache than a nightly backup | 11:40 |
| linux_trojan | its partially backed up, I backup like very 6 months | 11:40 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: issue is sharing my home on a desktop, where all the main stuff is symlinked | 11:40 |
| pagarill | does anybody know to get the lg x110's w(lan) set? (or that of a similar netbook? | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: its your stuff, no backup is completely appauling to me | 11:41 |
| belim | are there any vbox users in here? i am having a really weird issue with bridging my eth0 connection!.... | 11:41 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: ah. I think it may be to do with the nix extensions for samba | 11:41 |
| linux_trojan | good point | 11:41 |
| linux_trojan | I actually agree | 11:41 |
| linux_trojan | < lazy | 11:41 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: nautilus shows the contents the symlinks, but mounting with cifs does not | 11:42 |
| crekarasu | Hi, i want to open port ssh 22 please | 11:42 |
| ziroday | pagarill: you can ask in #vbox | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: you will insist on learning the hard and painful way | 11:42 |
| VSpike | crekarasu: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 11:42 |
| pagarill | ziroday: thank you! | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | crekarasu: if you run openssh-server its open | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, ive never mounted with cifs.. so cant tell ya - this thread mentions the topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=352016 | 11:42 |
| linux_trojan | well so fare after about 20 years of owning a computer I havent lost any files | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | crekarasu: if you havent configured stuff with firestarter or similar you are good to go | 11:42 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: I think it was you who pointed me at fusesmb some time back, but it's broken for me in 8.10 | 11:42 |
| linux_trojan | never had a HD fail | 11:43 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, it seems to break then get fixed.. at times.. let me try it now in 8.10 | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | crekarasu: if you would like wan access you will have to open the port in your router user manual as it varys wildly from router to router | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: you've obviosly not worked in a multi server situation | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: i have about 5 drives a night fail in my clusters | 11:44 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, its working for me on one of my Ubuntu 8.10 64bit machines.. | 11:44 |
| crekarasu | VSpike after install openssh-server to do? | 11:44 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: for me it works, but regularly crashes out or hangs and eats cpu | 11:44 |
| linux_trojan | oh no, I am a programmer, not an admin type | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | crekarasu: that will enable you to ssh to the box | 11:44 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: for me, browsing the fuse mount with nautilus is a sure way to kill it | 11:44 |
| crekarasu | o tanks | 11:44 |
| bluefoxx | 20 years back hard drives of any type were relatively rare from what i understand and see... | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: even more reason to backup, if your code goes you're gonna be SOWEEEE | 11:45 |
| crekarasu | but i want to login on ssh 22 with user root, how can i do because don`t know the password | 11:45 |
| VSpike | crekarasu: that should be it - install should start it running | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | crekarasu: youo dont, log in as yourself | 11:45 |
| snkmad | how can i format my pen drive? i wanna test that live-usb program | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | crekarasu: there is no root password, you are a member of sudoers so can use sudo to get all power required | 11:45 |
| VSpike | crekarasu: log in as yourself then use sudo | 11:45 |
| erUSUL | !root | crekarasu | 11:46 |
| ubottu | crekarasu: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | snkmad: mkfs | 11:46 |
| linux_trojan | what I am really worried about is that I have about 20 years of stored data, programs, publications, graphics, and document files on stuff I have writtten for journals | 11:46 |
| ziroday | snkmad: if you have intrepid the program is in System > Administration > Create a usb disk | 11:46 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, thats an interestng thing... ls: cannot access Network: Transport endpoint is not connected | 11:46 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, yep. file a bug, :() | 11:46 |
| linux_trojan | I want to keep all that | 11:46 |
| crekarasu | ok tanks | 11:46 |
| barloul2009 | hi every one | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: as i say. think about what you ave, then imagine one oth the physical drives power transformer dying | 11:46 |
| snkmad | ziroday yeah thats the program, but it says i needs more space, so i need the usb disk to be empty? | 11:46 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: yeah, that's what i get. bug filed | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: drive will not spin up fo love nor money, what have you lost | 11:47 |
| linux_trojan | is there a way to auto backup on windows? a free program? | 11:47 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/290673 | 11:47 |
| === _jonathan is now known as haptiK | ||
| ziroday | snkmad: I presume so, never used it before | 11:47 |
| VSpike | dr_willis: if you could confirm, that would be great | 11:47 |
| ziroday | linux_trojan: ask in ##windows about windows backup software | 11:47 |
| snkmad | ActionParsnip1 gonna try mkfs | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: theres a backup program bundled in | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | snkmad: man mkfs | 11:47 |
| Draggin | Hi there... I noticed a recent problem on my machine and I believe it's after the last kernel update... My ntfs drives are no longer accessible - it keeps telling me that I do not have permission to mount them whenever I try to access them... Does anyone know about this problem; can you confirm that it's the kernel update; and do you have any suggestions as to what to do about it? | 11:47 |
| barloul2009 | is it hard to configure network on ubuntu live cd ? | 11:48 |
| linux_trojan | I think I used to have a backup program from IOMEGA | 11:48 |
| linux_trojan | they probably have a program on there webssite | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: im just making you see what you can lose, if its ok to lose then backup isnt needed | 11:48 |
| crekarasu | 11:48 | |
| crekarasu | I installed ircd-ircu with sudo apt-get install and ensure ircd.conf want to change but I do not know where she is | 11:48 |

| ActionParsnip1 | barloul2009: you can do anything in livecd the same as an installed system except reboot | 11:48 |
| linux_trojan | I just need to think of how I will do it | 11:49 |
| linux_trojan | i could back up thru samba I think | 11:49 |
| crekarasu | I installed ircd-ircu with sudo apt-get install and ensure ircd.conf want to change but I do not know where she is | 11:50 |
| linux_trojan | use on comp with linux to back up a NTFS system | 11:50 |
| linux_trojan | a samba share | 11:50 |
| snkmad | ah intrepid doesnt come with gparted by default... | 11:50 |

| Magilla | any ideas? | 11:52 |
| barloul2009 | i supose i did somthing wrong but don't know | 11:52 |
| VSpike | crekarasu: try "locate ircd.conf" | 11:52 |
| barloul2009 | ActionParsnip1: wired connection | 11:52 |
| Magilla | It's a VIA Chrome chip | 11:52 |
| crekarasu | ok tanks VSpike | 11:53 |
| linux_trojan | I used to bring my laptop to work and my boss hinted that he thought I was stealing software | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | barloul2009: ok run lspci and 1 line will relate to the wired lan, type that line in here | 11:53 |
| linux_trojan | I told him I run linux and it wont run windows programs and he said "I demand to see your computer" | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip1 | it will run windows apps | 11:54 |
| bluefoxx | linux_trojan; reguarding bacakups, i use redundant drives, and every couple days copy over files from my main the the backups, using the merge option in ubuntu or just overriding in windows. works nicely, and has saved my data a number of times now...im guessin the average person doesnt have 4 extra 80 gigs hooked up to theuy're pc though, never mind 5and cold backup drives | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | linux_trojan: you can run them with wine, crossover office and cedega | 11:54 |

| bluefoxx | linux_trojan; than mirror your files to those, easy thing to do is form a habit of copyieing your files to them end of each day, week or whichever and keeping them organised. takes a while to do at first but is great habit once you do | 11:56 |
| Sharp_eyes | DIFH-iceroot: plz give me the command | 11:56 |

| bluefoxx | linux_trojan; i know it took me about a week to organise and clean through my mess of files, having been strewn across all my tiny drives, but now that it is organised]after another month to get into backups] it is definately worth it...windoss install crashed a month back and *didnt* take out my files because of backups the day before the crash. definately try it :p | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, fusesmb has been having issues for the last 2 releases or so.. :() | 11:59 |

| efaistos_ | i have a friend who has breezy and want to upgrade ... | 12:01 |
| efaistos_ | jrib: and there are more after dapper ? | 12:02 |
| ziroday | bouma: erm yes, one sec | 12:02 |
| jrib | efaistos_: upgrade to? | 12:02 |
| werdnus | So when I boot up, I get 'unable to launch Hardware Abstraction Layer', in a 'critical' message box. | 12:02 |
| werdnus | I should be worried about this, huh? | 12:02 |
| ziroday | bouma: see point 12 in http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/10/intrepid-update-faq.html | 12:02 |
| tim234 | hey, is completly switched over to ubuntu 8.10 - as i want to play source games i thought about reinstalling windows with dualboot | 12:02 |
| jrib | efaistos_: there are 5 more after dapper (after dapper they go in alphabetical order and we're on 'i' now) | 12:02 |
| efaistos_ | jrib: upgrade from breezy to something newer ;) | 12:02 |
| march | efaistos_, Warty > Hoary > Breezy > Dapper > Edgy > Feisty > Gutsy > Hardy > Intrepid > Jaunty | 12:02 |
| tim234 | how can i realise that? i only got the partitions linux is running on | 12:02 |
| efaistos_ | fuck !¬ | 12:03 |
| leonard_pop | when trying to play a movie the image is flashing. i am using ubuntu 8.10. any ideas that can fix that? | 12:03 |
| jrib | efaistos_: he can go breezy -> dapper -> hardy -> intrepid (or stay on hardy). dapper and hardy are LTS | 12:03 |
| efaistos_ | didnt knwo there are so many releases .. | 12:03 |
| march | You mean frag efaistos_ ;) | 12:03 |

| efaistos_ | im a debian user not ubuntu sorry :) | 12:03 |

| speakman_ | Nope, still no window title bar | 12:03 |
| efaistos_ | rww: sorry :P | 12:03 |
| jrib | !upgrade > efaistos_ | 12:03 |

| VSpike | dr_willis: 'tis a shame, because it's a neat idea. It worked perfectly for me in 8.04, used it every day | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | VSpike, yea.. I even made a note on the Wiki page about how its been having issues. | 12:06 |
| speakman_ | Alt+Tab won't work either | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | speakman_: theres a very similar line to add as well | 12:06 |

| pioSko | jjdiamond: have you tried Envy?? | 13:08 |
| jjdiamond | pioSko: sucky. | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | farnsworth_: you could lsmod to see what modules are installed and rmmod it | 13:08 |

| jjdiamond | pioSko: envy? | 13:09 |
| pioSko | jjdiamond: yeah, alternative drivers... for 8.04 worked like a charm... | 13:09 |
| pioSko | jjdiamond: you have to install Envy by apt-get.. see forums for more details.. | 13:10 |
| eightfold | Magilla: is it possible to use with other brands too? | 13:10 |
| jjdiamond | pioSko: i'll look into it thanks. | 13:10 |
| pioSko | jjdiamond: then you uninstall ATI drivers and get Envy to install it's own drivers | 13:10 |
| Magilla | eightfold: sure | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | jjdiamond: sudo apt-get install envng-gtk; gksudo envyng-gtk | 13:10 |

| edgy | oobe: kvm is a program like vmware somehow | 13:33 |
| ikonia | edgy: what command are you using to launch the vm | 13:33 |
| oobe | edgy, actually it stands for keyboard video mouse its a piece of hardware that allows you to plug in your kb video mouse into 2 different machines and switch control between them | 13:34 |
| edgy | ikonia: kvm -m 1024 -snapshot solaris.img | 13:34 |

| oobe | oh ok | 13:35 |
| edgy | oobe: no no, put kvm in google and see the first result | 13:35 |

| ikonia | oobe: it doesnt matter - it stards for kernel virtual machine | 13:36 |
| edgy | ikonia: it displays the grub menu and just reboots not crash | 13:36 |
| oobe | aswell | 13:36 |
| ikonia | oobe: if you can't contribute to the dicussion - don't point out random things | 13:36 |
| oobe | aswell as the original and more commonly used term kvm switch | 13:36 |
| ikonia | oobe: e stop - it's obvious he's not talking about a kvm switch | 13:37 |
| oobe | i know now | 13:37 |

| xepra | well its usually better to have a separate partition for your data | 14:37 |
| xepra | that way if you system gets fubar you can reformat the partition... | 14:37 |
| b33r | za119, imo it's better to keep your movies and data on a separate partition.. so if something goes wrong you can reformat without losing anything | 14:37 |

| lclimber | <glacius>, maybe some other programm is using your sound server at the same time and it conflicts with flash | 14:39 |
| xepra | but you can incrementally grow one partition, copy files to it from the other partition, then shrink that one, etc | 14:39 |

| romesh | can anyone tell software used for ip scanner (ex netscan,dc++ used in windows os) | 14:39 |
| xepra | although ext3 journaling may interfere with the growing/shrinking | 14:39 |

| ubottu | NicEXE: 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 | 15:13 |
| xepra | billybigrigger: I don't know what you mean by activated... but it does work fine with wvdial. I hadn't connected via active_rndias before, but that at least is dected by the network manager - unfortunately i can't seem to get the phone to share its internet | 15:13 |
| tillux | which midi playback is used for the local-sound-file preview in nautilus? | 15:13 |
| td123 | croddy: this is a guy that runs arch on a 400mhz processor and some things are actually quicker on that then a 1.6ghz core 2 duo :D | 15:14 |
| crdlb | Joppu: it's in the CompizConfig settings manager; changing it will increase the number of horizontal workspaces | 15:14 |
| VirusKongen | amd (ATI) drivers have changed now | 15:14 |
| td123 | croddy: with ubuntu :P | 15:14 |
| VirusKongen | now it works | 15:14 |

| photon | After my upgrade to Intrepid, Youtube videos played in Opera have no sound, before my upgrade everything worked fine. I have all settings turned to volume 100% in GNOME ALSA mixer What could have caused this? | 15:14 |

| billybigrigger | xepra, well see i havent ever used a phone as a modem, but when i was reading up on my usb modem, i had to make sure that it was activated first on a windows machine, like when i bought it from Telus, you can't just plug it in out of the box, it has to be activated, and that has to be done on a windows machine, im not familiar with using a pcs phone as a modem, so im not sure | 15:15 |

| kgod | Side note: what's the procedure for reporting bugs from a box on which there's no external email account configured? | 15:17 |

| VirusKongen | java works just install non free plugins | 15:17 |

| aaron | does anyone know where I can configure my sendmail to use an external named server | 15:20 |
| Jesse__________ | jrib: no only the 32 and 64 bit verions for windows | 15:20 |
| photon | After my upgrade to Intrepid, Youtube videos played in Opera have no sound, before my upgrade everything worked fine. I have all settings turned to volume 100% in GNOME ALSA mixer What could have caused this? | 15:20 |
| Joppu | tillux: So compiz uses it's own workspaces instead of regular ones? | 15:21 |
| mizifih | I need a lil help from U guys. I'm looking for a Media Center that looks like Windows Media Center. Tried Elisa but didn't like it. Do U guys know anyone good? | 15:21 |
| jrib | Jesse__________: well that sucks. I don't know about your issue, but personally I've moved on to sage for my math needs | 15:21 |
| `TonY | photon, sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree | 15:21 |
| Jesse__________ | jrib: my college uses mapel so i'm stuck with that so i guess i'll go find a windows machine :( | 15:21 |
| shirish | crdlb: hi | 15:22 |
| crdlb | Joppu: it uses viewports, which are fully standard but are not the same as the "virtual desktops" that metacity uses | 15:22 |
| sidewalk | how do i get google-gadgets working in Ubuntu 8.10 ? | 15:22 |
| jrib | Jesse__________: you might want to talk to your professor, I'm sure they won't mind you using a free CAS. Closed-source CAS goes against the spirit of math really | 15:22 |
| crdlb | shirish: hello? | 15:23 |
| shirish | crdlb: I have an issue with gpg, can you help resolve it? | 15:23 |
| AlexxC | bonjour :) | 15:23 |
| crdlb | I don't think so, but someone else here might :) | 15:23 |
| Joppu | crdlb: metacity=standard GNOME ? | 15:23 |
| crdlb | Joppu: yes | 15:23 |
| shirish | crdlb: I am having this issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg/+bug/293592 | 15:23 |
| shirish | now how do I get around this gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found | 15:24 |
| dr_willis | sidewalk, you have to compile them.. i saw a guide but couldent get it to work.. or wait fro someone to package them for ubuntu | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Joppu: metacity is the window manager, gnome is the desktop. you can run fluxbox on gnome if you want | 15:24 |
| glider_ | hey there, somone knows about a good irc client other than xchat ? | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | glider_, irssi. :) | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | !irc | 15:25 |

| ActionParsnip1 | glider_: pidgin is what i use | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | I perfer xchat over xchat-gnome :P | 15:25 |
| glider_ | didnt know there were xchat -gnome | 15:25 |
| firb | pidgin can use fetion | 15:25 |
| glider_ | :d | 15:25 |
| marshal0505 | i'm starting to like irssi | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | firb: fetion? | 15:26 |
| erUSUL | Joppu: for may years gnome used sawfish as window manager | 15:26 |
| glider_ | irssi is in the repository ? | 15:26 |
| Pici | glider_: yes | 15:26 |
| marshal0505 | glider_: dunno using arch atm | 15:26 |
| dr_willis | Gnome the early years.. :) switching window managers every other version #... | 15:26 |
| glider_ | kk i'll give it a try thanks | 15:26 |
| firb | fetion can help you send message to the mobilephone through the internet | 15:26 |
| dr_willis | sawfish was my fave.. i perfered it much more then metacity | 15:26 |
| dulak | I miss sawfish too | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | firb: they want an irc client not an sms client | 15:27 |
| glider_ | perhaps i could use mIRC with wine ? | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | dulak, you can still use it. :) but its an annoyance | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | mIRC = bla. :) | 15:27 |
| firb | here in china fetion is really a fashion in the champous | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | glider_: bitchx is good, nice script support | 15:27 |
| dulak | dr_willis: yeah I tried to get it working right in dapper, but I gave up | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mirc == garbage | 15:28 |
| Juhaz | dr_willis, actually they didn't endorse any specific wm at all in the early years, the only switches have been the initial inclusion of sawfish and then metacity | 15:28 |
| glider_ | you guys use intrepid ? | 15:28 |
| Joppu | Yes, I mix shit up, I'm not that experienced with linux | 15:28 |
| dr_willis | Metacity came to be the default and everyone was like.. 'where did metacity come from? we never heard of that one' | 15:28 |
| === Questionmark is now known as Exclamationpoint | ||
| dr_willis | :) | 15:28 |
| dr_willis | Sawfish/enlightenment, then metacity.. :) | 15:29 |

| psykx | hey guys | 15:29 |
| glider_ | is there sumone using metasploit here ? | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | Bad old days of kde and gnome often not playing nicely together. | 15:29 |
| alanbshepard77 | I need to automate sending the 1 key and enter to a terminal window, how can I do that? If I can find a way I'd have to alternately press those keys by hand 4000 times a piece. | 15:29 |
| Joppu | mizifih: www.mythtv.org/ ? | 15:29 |
| `TonY | !ot | dr_willis | 15:30 |

| hikenboot | greetings I thought I downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of ubuntu but after install it only shows 2.6.27-7-generic kernel installed ...??? | 15:30 |
| dr_willis | discissing the history of gnome is ot? :) 75% of linux is history. well learning why everything is grandfathered in.. | 15:30 |
| === DRNK-E is now known as Andrijeski | ||
| jrib | hikenboot: what does 'uname -m' return? | 15:30 |

| === Andrijeski is now known as DRNK-E | ||

| glider_ | wich one do you think is the best vlc or totem ? | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | alanbshepard77, dare we ask why you need to do such a thing? you doing this for some program in a terminal window? | 15:31 |
| === r__ is now known as r- | ||
| funkja | glider_: i like vlc more. but they are both good | 15:32 |
| gavagai | i haven't used totem in forever | 15:32 |
| gavagai | vlc, all the time, every platform | 15:32 |
| dr_willis | totem has to be on the bottom of the list for media players i use.. | 15:32 |
| glider_ | thanks for advice | 15:32 |
| alanbshepard77 | psykx: I ran fdupes on a drive with 4487 sets of dupes and I want have something else hit 1 and enter that many times. I'm sure there is a better way but for as long as I had to wait for fdupes to finish I'd rather have something do what I mention than have to run it again. | 15:32 |
| dr_willis | mplayer/vlc normally here. | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | alanbshepard77: "man yes" | 15:32 |

| erUSUL | alanbshepard77: old unix admins thought of everything ;P | 15:33 |
| dr_willis | alanbshepard77, check the options for the program.. it may have a 'auto/yes' feature.. | 15:33 |
| `TonY | photon, after reinstalling ? | 15:33 |
| alanbshepard77 | erUSUL: Thanks. | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | alanbshepard77: no problem | 15:33 |
| dr_willis | alanbshepard77, or use some sort of pipe/fifo.. which would be very .. weird.. :) | 15:33 |
| jrib | alanbshepard77: but the program is already prompting you for input? | 15:33 |
| `TonY | photon, can you try it on firefox please, wanna see if this is Opera's problem | 15:33 |
| izzy200198 | im getting busybox on fresh 8.10 install. anyone ecounter this? | 15:33 |
| alanbshepard77 | dr_willis: I've checked and as far as I can tell it doesn't. | 15:33 |
| photon | `TonY: I issued your command, worked just fine, restarted opera, still no sound. sure, I will test it on firefox. | 15:34 |
| dr_willis | What was that other scripting tool for entering info.. 'expect' i belive it was called.. it can do automated scripting like that alanbshepard77 it was commonly ysed years ago | 15:34 |
| `TonY | photon, please test and report back | 15:34 |
| erUSUL | izzy200198: sometimes it happens when the kernel can not find the disk or some other error happens... | 15:34 |

| glider_ | optixx, you use optix, the RAT ? :d | 15:34 |
| jrib | dr_willis: now with python bindings! | 15:35 |
| alanbshepard77 | dr_willis: Thanks I'll look at it also | 15:35 |
| photon | `TonY: works fine in firefox. | 15:35 |

| `TonY | photon, please check the flash plugin for opera .... since it is not updated | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | izzy200198: also try the other options listed in the wiki like noapic etc | 15:35 |
| `TonY | photon, i dont use Opera so i have to stop here sorry .... | 15:35 |
| Hpo | hi , i got my new computer and i dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows XP , but every time i boot its has to install AHCI / RAID drivers for linux and i have to change bios setting for RAID or AHCI thats the only way ubuntu works (altho slax worked fine with the mode disabled) , in the windows case i must remove the AHCI/RAID option and thats the only way its works , this is very hard for me to do it everytime and i dont want the bios to reinstall ev | 15:36 |
| felix-da-catz | Is the JDK available through apt-get? | 15:36 |
| jrib | dr_willis: I was really hoping for a physical solution to this one. Something involving a little wheel and some weights over the 1 and enter keys | 15:36 |
| jrib | felix-da-catz: yes | 15:36 |
| felix-da-catz | thx | 15:36 |
| dr_willis | jrib, i got my macro-programable keyboard. :) that can do it... | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | Hpo: why don't you use ahci all the time? i'm sure there are ahci drivers for windows and linux works best with sata set to ahci | 15:36 |
| `TonY | Hpo, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.list, and make your changes there , reboot and you'll have it | 15:36 |
| bmeynell | anyone else's firefox crash a lot???? | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | Hpo: it is an intel motherboard ? | 15:37 |
| hikenboot | jrib x86_64 | 15:37 |
| dr_willis | jrib, i seem to recall the 'yes' command also and using Pipes to get it to say 'y' to some programs years ago... | 15:37 |
| Hpo | yes intel E45 | 15:37 |
| jrib | hikenboot: then you are using 64bit | 15:37 |
| Hpo | i dont use AHCI all the time because windows wont boot with AHCI on and its reinstall the driver every boot | 15:37 |
| glider_ | hey guys what do you think about intel's new core i7 ? | 15:37 |
| funkja | bmeynell: yes. In Hardy it crashed all the time for me. | 15:37 |
| hikenboot | is there a way to vt enable a machine that is a 64 bit but unsupported in bios? | 15:37 |
| erUSUL | Hpo: then i recomend to change windows to use ahci... (boot with ahci enabled in bios and install apropiate driver) | 15:38 |
| `TonY | Hpo, you change the grub menu entry of kernel ? | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | Hpo: linux will work with ahci | 15:38 |
| Hpo | but every boot its reinstall it ! thats why i cant stand it :S | 15:38 |
| engemec | hi guys | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | Hpo: what is reinstalling and which (linux or windows) | 15:38 |
| K-O-D | I went from sata ide emu mode to ahci no problem. I just had to force install the drivers and then enable ahci | 15:38 |
| Hpo | i never touch anything :( its the normal install (note : linux live didnt boot with AHCI disabled) | 15:38 |
| photon | `TonY: sorry, got disconnected... `TonY: works fine in firefox. <-- last message I sent | 15:39 |
| alanbshepard77 | erUSUL: How would I pass the enter key as a string? Sending the 1 isn't an issue but the enter key has me stumped | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | alanbshepard77: try '/0' | 15:39 |
| Hpo | the driver , : i boot then before grub shows its says : "installing AHCI .... takes 10 sec and we go" | 15:39 |
| bmeynell | funkja: yup, i'm using hardy... is there a solution?? after a crash I have to reboot my whole system which really sucks because I'm running a ton of processes :( | 15:39 |
| funkja | alanbshepard77: or '/n' | 15:39 |
| `TonY | photon, you have to check the flashplugin of your Opera, though i dont use Opera, i might not be very helpful after this | 15:39 |
| photon | `TonY: OK, thanks | 15:39 |
| dr_willis | alanbshepard77, i recall expect usong \m for enter or /n | 15:39 |
| jrib | alanbshepard77: try just "yes", you will see | 15:40 |
| `TonY | photon, most welcome | 15:40 |
| alanbshepard77 | thanks | 15:40 |
| Exclamationpoint | I did do-release-upgrade and the first package it installs is Lilo :S | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | alanbshepard77: afaik yes sends the carriage return with the string.... "yes 1 | command" | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | alanbshepard77: or "command < yes 1" ?? try both | 15:40 |
| funkja | bmeynell: I didn't figure it out - when I updated to Ibex it seemed to fix it. You shouldn't have to reboot your system when it crashes - you'll need to kill the firefox process. | 15:40 |
| dr_willis | erUSUL, :) my rembering of old commands pays off? :) | 15:40 |
| xepra | anyone know how the new mobile broadband (ie 3g) network manager detects modems? | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | dr_willis: ;) | 15:41 |
| alanbshepard77 | erUSUL: One last question, how do I direct the output to an existing terminal? "yes 1 | command" >> tty0 ? | 15:41 |
| Hpo | i boot with : "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic root=UUID=7ae83ff9-720b-4536-b3d2-98d1ce48907a ro quiet splash" - how can i disable RAID/AHCI in it? | 15:41 |
| bmeynell | funkja: yeah, i kill the process but it just plain *won't start* :( | 15:41 |
| dr_willis | erUSUL, I will take Linux History for 300 alex.. :P | 15:41 |

| agitdd99 | anyone experience with gconf-editor? | 15:41 |
| bazhang | egoflux, no cursing | 15:41 |
| dr_willis | egoflux, because they can get away with it. | 15:41 |
| Exclamationpoint | egoflux, closed source. | 15:41 |
| glider_ | cuz adobe sucks :p | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | egoflux: s'fine here. if you are running 64bit run it via nspluginwrapper | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | alanbshepard77: dunno if that's posible will have to dig google.. hold on | 15:42 |
| dr_willis | Most flash sites dont even work on my wii any more. :( they want newer flash. | 15:42 |
| funkja | bmeynell: hmm... I'm not sure then. That always worked for me. You may want to try purging your firefox and reinstalling to see if that helps. Otherwise I'm out of ideas. | 15:42 |
| kunwon1 | Well, it's not cause it's closed source. lol | 15:42 |
| egoflux | i'm not running 64bit | 15:42 |

| djiezes | `TonY: with or without sudo? | 15:43 |

| egoflux | x86_64 | 15:43 |
| mizifih | dr_willis: I changed my JAP Wii to USA Wii using AnyRegion Changer and then updated to the latest system upgrade... | 15:43 |

| AdvoWork | `TonY, but why would some files show and not others? cant be permissions on the folder else no files would show? | 15:58 |
| `TonY | AdvoWork, if it is showing some files, then you might not have permissions to see others , check them on the share owning machine | 15:58 |

| `TonY | rhalff, nop | 16:28 |
| Leopard2A5 | bye all | 16:28 |
| rhalff_ | Tony, I can upgrade a 32bit to 64bit, with apt maybe ? | 16:28 |
| td123 | rhalff_: you have to use the 64bit install cd to do a fresh install.. | 16:29 |
| YlandeFaran | Installed ubuntu yesterday. Internet worked fine, have rebooted numerous time since then. The connection was nice and stabile. | 16:29 |
| aaron | does anyone know how to configure postfix with an smtp server and authentication | 16:29 |
| joaopinto | rhalff, you need a fresh reinstall to change from 32 to 64 | 16:29 |
| YlandeFaran | but now, after a reboot today. My connection is gone. | 16:29 |
| lvshankar | `TonY, sorry to ask this , but the corresponding menu.lst entry which works, doesn't have those lines... | 16:29 |
| rhalff_ | td123, but I don't have a fresh 64bit, so now way to make it 64bit ? | 16:29 |
| `TonY | rhalff, a new clean installation dear, since 64bits is not / nor 32bit upgrade | 16:29 |
| YlandeFaran | What could be the problem? Why is my internet gone! | 16:29 |
| efaistos_ | `TonY: no idea ? | 16:30 |

| YlandeFaran | bazhang: eth0, eth1, eth0:avahi and lo | 16:31 |
| lvshankar | `TonY, yes i understood that...am asking when kernel 2.6.22-14 didn't require those args, why would others....i will try what you said however.. | 16:31 |
| YlandeFaran | I take it that the eth0:avahi should be the working one. But the IP in that one (and all the other numbers) are faulty. | 16:32 |
| bazhang | YlandeFaran, try sudo dhclient eth0 | 16:32 |

| efaistos_ | `TonY: yeah ... this worked | 16:32 |
| `TonY | lvshankar, im not sure, but it works when you add .... since it is a driver thing | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | YlandeFaran: well that's becouse eth0:avahi is a "dummy" iface used for zeroconf services that's why it uses a reserved ip adress | 16:32 |

| RickZilla | Is it normal for Totem Movie Player to not pick up individual chapters on a commercial DVD movie I'm trying to play? Or are there other, better options for that? | 16:51 |

| ra21vi | is it possible to make a ubuntu desktop as proxy server, so my another ubuntu server in same network can use HTTP_PROXY to pass all packets through my desktop. since my desktop has full access, so updating and installing packages is smooth, but the server ip is protected by ISA Firewall | 16:51 |
| Ximal | slacker_nl would it not be sudo apt-get install torrentflux ? | 16:51 |
| YlandeFaran | `TonY: I think both. I cannot ping other computers on the same lan | 16:51 |
| xepra | sercik: none of your interfaces are on a 192.168.1.0 network | 16:51 |
| `TonY | Arky44, just use a usb , and use rsync command or grsync | 16:51 |
| RickZilla | slacker_nl: Are those better options than Totem? | 16:51 |
| YlandeFaran | and I certanly cannot reach internet. | 16:51 |
| slacker_nl | RickZilla: imo, yes | 16:51 |
| YlandeFaran | I don't recive my IP from my isp. | 16:51 |
| RickZilla | slacker_nl: Thanks for the info | 16:51 |
| xepra | sercik: and it looks like you have a ppp (perhaps mobile?) network active | 16:52 |
| slacker_nl | Ximal: you wanted to know what torrentflux was, not install it ;) | 16:52 |
| YlandeFaran | or, my computer might not try to get it correcly. Don't know. | 16:52 |
| sercik | xepra i have a ppp0 yes over eth0 | 16:52 |
| ra21vi | is it possible to make a ubuntu desktop as proxy server, so my another ubuntu server in same network can use HTTP_PROXY to pass all packets through my desktop. since my desktop has full access, so updating and installing packages is smooth, but the server ip is protected by ISA Firewall | 16:52 |
| slacker_nl | Ximal: but for installing, it should be aptitude install :) | 16:52 |

| snkmad | my sound card isnt working, what should i do? intrepid here | 16:52 |
| slacker_nl | ra21vi: use squid | 16:52 |
| slacker_nl | on your desktop | 16:52 |
| ra21vi | slacker_nl: ok thanks :) | 16:52 |
| RickZilla | snkmad: What soundcard do you have? | 16:52 |
| slacker_nl | ra21vi: although I would assume your server has full access and you connect to your server from your desktop | 16:53 |
| snkmad | some ALI chipset | 16:53 |
| slacker_nl | ra21vi: that's what I would do :) | 16:53 |
| snkmad | i think its realtek | 16:53 |
| xepra | sercik: you have another private ip 10.0.0.1, but that looks a bit weird... | 16:53 |
| `TonY | lvshankar, what is the error that grub tells you when using newer kernel ? | 16:53 |
| ra21vi | slacker_nl: so it will be acting as simple proxy, and full transparency to other server | 16:53 |
| RickZilla | snkmad: Not like a Soundblaster or something like that? | 16:53 |
| snkmad | no | 16:53 |
| sercik | xepra i have also tried to do dhclient eth0 and dhcp server on modem (192.168.1.1) gives an ip address to eth0 but then i can't ping or visit 192.168.1.1 | 16:53 |
| xepra | sercik: are you trying to share your mobile internet to the rest of the network? | 16:53 |
| snkmad | its a atlhon 64, socket 754 | 16:53 |

| YlandeFaran | I have never done any editing in system->admin->network, and I had internet connection without any problem before. Then all of a sudden I lost the connection after a reboot. (have rebooted many times before w/o losing it) and now I cannot get it back. | 16:54 |
| crekarasu | anyone know to install gnuworld on ubuntu ? | 16:54 |
| ra21vi | slacker_nl: no, the thing is opposite, my company is Windows lover and licker, and only I use the Linux in whole 900 employees, and I got my desktop IP out of ISA proxy list since proxy authentication is problem with special chars in password which windows domain rule has imposed here | 16:54 |
| slacker_nl | ra21vi: whatever the purpose or use of the proxy, it makes more sense to me to put it on the server and not on a desktop | 16:54 |

| kikagage | hello all, it seems after a few recent updates my touchpad starts to go on the fritz I'll be able to move the cursor but it is unresponsive to my clicks whether they are right or left, this usaully occurs while im on some site that uses flash, but even if i close firefox I still have the same issue. anyone with this problem? | 16:55 |
| ra21vi | slacker_nl: like right now, I need to install some Version Conteol system , so I need SVN pacjage to download and install | 16:55 |
| xepra | sercik: wait so you have a linux gateway, or this is the box you are trying to setup a gateway on? | 16:55 |
| RickZilla | snkmad: Never heard of that one...but you might want to check the ubuntu wiki for compatible sound devices...I don't currently have that url, but you should be able to find it with a quick search | 16:55 |
| sercik | xepra i have a linux gateway that uses an external modem connected to eth0 | 16:56 |
| lvshankar | `TonY, it says something like 'failed to identify (i/o error)' and 'failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs' | 16:56 |
| Ximal | slacker_nl would you mind keying me to the start command for torrent flux/? i cannot find it in my applications menu | 16:56 |

| izzy200198 | didntwork for me | 16:57 |
| xepra | sercik: and that is a different box than this one? and what do you mean by gateway exactly? A linux server that has an internet connection that it is sharing with the rest of the network? Do you have a router/switch on that network that is providing the DHCP? Or do you have a different DHCP server? What should 192.168.1.1 point to? | 16:57 |

| darrend | where does gnome session info get stored pls? | 16:58 |
| `TonY | lvshankar, do you download them from apt or compile them ? since this seems to be a kernel and/or initrd image error | 16:58 |
| `TonY | lvshankar, not your hardware | 16:58 |
| slacker_nl | Ximal: localhost/torrentflux | 16:58 |
| scientes | hmm, probably cause IE's javascript is slllllow | 16:58 |

| jkinney | `TonY: like I said before tho... it seems related to my denyhosts or fail2ban apps that I recently uninstalled | 17:16 |
| jkinney | `TonY: and I can't go rebooting the server every day just to make it work | 17:16 |
| jkinney | `TonY: I'd install windows if I wanted that ;-) | 17:16 |
| xepra | seps1816: depends, I hardly think that 2gigs is not enough ram for ubuntu, but you can check memory usage | 17:16 |

| jkinney | `TonY: dude, seriously. I didn't work it out. I was asking you a question about WHY my shit denies my SSH after a few hours | 17:17 |
| xepra | seps1816: In other words, unless you like having 30 instances of firefox open at once while playing a game, more memory probably won't speed anything up | 17:17 |
| `TonY | lvshankar, seems like a driver for new HD of the same manufacturer is not compatible with your HD | 17:17 |

| jkinney | `TonY: then I leave it sit or leave it overnight or sometimes randomly in the middle of the day, I just can't get in... and have to reboot the server | 17:24 |

| `TonY | glibc-source provide sources like .h files | 17:26 |

| jjdiamond | soundray: nothing | 18:04 |

| hawk_pdm | I can see the packages if I look in the list | 18:04 |
| bowow99 | apt-get update? | 18:04 |
| `TonY | bowow99, first you'll have to have a crossed-cable , do you have it ? | 18:04 |
| hawk_pdm | The package list is up to date. | 18:05 |
| jjdiamond | soundray: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded | 18:05 |
| bowow99 | blue ethernet cable here tony - | 18:05 |
| `TonY | bowow99, not like the usual one, that you connect the ethernet to a switch | 18:05 |
| bowow99 | dunno if its crossed tho | 18:05 |
| hawk_pdm | Aptitude from the cli works fine. | 18:05 |
| bowow99 | ahhh | 18:05 |
| soundray | jjdiamond: how about the dpkg command? | 18:05 |
| `TonY | bowow99, hold the two heads, colors inside must NOT match | 18:05 |
| jjdiamond | soundray: i hit enter, the desktop panel showed a package install is working. at terminal cursor is blinking but not doing anything. package manager finished. no new backgrounds. | 18:06 |
| bowow99 | no they match ,,, i just want to empty the hardrive of one laptop on to another | 18:06 |
| bowow99 | i have a 3rd i can use as a server if its not too diff | 18:06 |
| jjdiamond | soundray: oops i meant package manager | 18:06 |
| `TonY | bowow99, you have to buy a crossed-cable then , to connect them | 18:07 |
| === billybigrigger_ is now known as billybigrigger | ||
| bowow99 | what about using a 3rd as a server ? | 18:07 |
| soundray | bowow99: some Ethernet adapters detect a direct connection and switch accordingly, so it's worth trying with your regular patch cable | 18:07 |
| `TonY | bowow99, once you get that, connect them and assign a static ip for each one, and they see each other | 18:07 |
| billybigrigger | bah | 18:07 |
| bowow99 | so in ubuntu what section am i likely using ? | 18:07 |
| soundray | jjdiamond: can you Ctrl-C that and run sudo dpkg --configure -a | 18:07 |

| Walid | Salut | 18:19 |
| mjr | okay, so, when you install with root on lvm on luks on raid (and boot just on raid-1), the bootup can't figure out where the root is. Apparently the problem may be that the installer wanted to for some reason create a "partition" md1_cryptp1 on my md1_crypt encrypted disk. How do I set that up manually? | 18:19 |

| ravensword | when I ssh to my old ubuntu system the TERM gets set to "linux", although locally it's "xterm". What controls this? | 18:45 |
| `TonY | Tronn, sis you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-intel ? | 18:45 |
| kri | soundray: well its dual core.. | 18:45 |
| kri | any cpu info tool 'apt get install [X]'? | 18:46 |
| Tronn | `TonY: I didn't try that -- can I do that from within X? | 18:46 |
| `TonY | ravensword, with what user are you trying to ssh ? | 18:46 |
| soundray | kri: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 18:46 |
| foodcoman | grout: after you disconnect use screen -r to reconnect. man pages out also | 18:46 |

| ravensword | those check it, and set the prompt, but they don't seem to do anything with it otherwise. I'd think ssh[d] manpages must mention it, because it must pass the TERM setting over in the first place -- is there another word other than /term/i I should be looking for? | 18:49 |

| soundray | kri: your CPU is fully capable of running in 64bit mode. However, if you have 32bits already installed, it's not worth changing, unless you do a lot of numbercrunching, or want to upgrade to 4GB or more of RAM | 18:52 |

| ubottu | dick-richardson: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 18:52 |

| ebcl | stdin: still not working - I fixed my tar command so it no longer fails [d'oh!]; | 19:10 |
| dou213 | soundray: on my new NIC on the chip it says "RTL8139D 7C071S3 L751E TAIWAN" ... don't know if this can help us further | 19:10 |
| kri | ripped: just alt-tab or -winbutton-tab it | 19:10 |
| russell__ | Mat-dg: I downloaded the compiz manager in the pacakages | 19:10 |
| `TonY | kusanagi_, as default in /var/log/ | 19:10 |
| deftone | How can I clean up my system and remove or fix any broken packages?? | 19:10 |
| ebcl | stdin: "if [ $SHLVL = 0 ]; then tar -xjf /home/patron.tar.bz2 --overwrite -C / && touch /home/patron/success fi" | 19:10 |
| soundray | dou213: yes, at least I can tell you that this card is supported in principle | 19:10 |
| Hideme | `Tony do you know of an offical envyNG channel? | 19:10 |
| russell__ | Mat_dg: set the number of virtual desktops to 4, leave the other two settings at 1 | 19:10 |
| MaT-dg | russell__: okay, go to that manager, it's a matter of enabling the right plugin then | 19:10 |
| ripped | humm thank you | 19:11 |
| Polterge|st | is Intrepid worth the upgrade from 8.04.1 ? | 19:11 |
| russell__ | Mat_dg: I have the flame enambeld but it does not work | 19:11 |
| stdin | ebcl: does it run at all? | 19:11 |
| `TonY | Hideme, nop sorry | 19:11 |
| cube | !pastebin | 19:11 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 19:11 |
| ebcl | stdin: if I run the command directly, yes. | 19:11 |
| dou213 | soundray: how do u know that? | 19:11 |
| JDeLay | Any suggestions on how to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 once update manager has stopped giving me the option? I had to abort on a previous attempt, but now I'm on a better network connection. | 19:11 |
| StrikerST | GARRRRRRRR HELPME! | 19:12 |
| StrikerST | =( | 19:12 |
| bdunne | kernel_ducky: Know whether it's an ATI or NVidia card? Maybe Intel? | 19:12 |
| ebcl | stdin: Perhaps the issue is that the command is successfully run as root, but fails as user upon logout? | 19:12 |
| deftone | Poltergeist: NOPE | 19:12 |
| `TonY | !ask | StrikerST | 19:12 |
| ubottu | StrikerST: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:12 |
| soundray | dou213: do a 'locate 8139' and you see the driver module files | 19:12 |
| kernel_ducky | bdunne, ATI | 19:12 |
| stdin | ebcl: well the command will be ran as the user loggin out | 19:12 |
| kri | ripped: you can if you want add 'windowlist'~ 'fönsterväljare' in swe. Right klick on the panel and Add... | 19:12 |
| mvo | JDeLay: when you stopped it, did it actually installed package or was it just downloading? | 19:12 |
| `TonY | soundray, it is better to modprobe -l | grep 8139 | 19:12 |
| nummer9 | well, my printing server only supports LPR, so the AppSocket-foo doesn't work! | 19:12 |
| ultimate | hi | 19:12 |
| ultimate | not sure | 19:12 |
| ebcl | stdin: user "patron" is a severely limited user - no sudo | 19:12 |
| Polterge|st | I'm debating on upgrading but do not know if it is better to wait until the next LTS version | 19:12 |
| cube | is the AMD64 updates 404 for anyone else | 19:12 |
| cluber | When installing 8.10 it asks where i want to install it. /sda1 /sda2 /sda2. How do i find out which is which? I am trying to install on a partition named '15.7 GB Media' | 19:13 |
| ebcl | stdin: Is there another way to run that command upon logout | 19:13 |
| bdunne | kernel_ducky: I think the default driver for ATI cards is "radeon," which is open source but doesn't support 3d acceleration | 19:13 |
| soundray | Polterge|st: it's an incremental improvement. It may or may not be worth it, depending on your needs | 19:13 |
| nummer9 | Can anyone help me? | 19:13 |
| mvo | JDeLay: try "mv ~/.update-manager-core ~/.update-manager-core.xxx; update-manager" and see if it showes up again | 19:13 |

| StrikerST | Tony` I did ask a question nobody responded | 19:13 |
| StrikerST | =/ | 19:13 |
| JDeLay | I don't think it had downloaded anything yet | 19:13 |
| `TonY | !ask | nummer9 | 19:13 |
| ubottu | nummer9: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:13 |
| kernel_ducky | bdunne, alright | 19:13 |
| soundray | `TonY: no, it isn't, unless the driver is loaded, which it is not | 19:13 |
| starktron | Hi, I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 with a fresh install. Was very impressed with the LiveCD, everything worked better than previous releases, but upon rebooting after install, I got "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" Anybody have any ideas what could be wrong, or how to fix it? Never had this problem before. | 19:13 |
| MaT-dg | russell__: be sure that the animations plugin is enabled (animation add-on to for more effects), then go to the 'minimize animation' tab en chosse your effect | 19:13 |
| hypn0 | ` | 19:13 |
| nummer9 | JDeLay: I asked already | 19:13 |
| Appi | hi how should I configure resolution in Ubuntu | 19:13 |
| Hideme | My video driver is not compatible with 8.10, yet envyNG has .96 which is supported but doesn't work. Has anyone encountered this for nvidia quadro 4 980XGL cards? | 19:13 |
| bdunne | kernel_ducky: if you really need 3d acceleration you'll need to install the proprietary "fglrx" driver | 19:14 |
| soundray | Appi: which version? | 19:14 |
| nummer9 | How do I set up a LPR printing server? | 19:14 |
| Polterge|st | soundray, I am on a 1.2ghz machine with 384 mb of ram ( 512 max and will max it out soon .) This is why I want to know if it would be worth it to upgrade to 8.10 and install Ubuntu Studio | 19:14 |
| StrikerST | `Tony: why would rndc timeout assuming my bind9 server attaches itself properly to the right ports? | 19:14 |
| Appi | soundray: 8.04 | 19:14 |
| nummer9 | In 8.04 it worked, but I reinstalled my system with 8.10 | 19:14 |
| dou213 | soundray: tried to change the slots, maybe i should've shutdown my pc... it is blocked now, gotta restart | 19:14 |
| soundray | Appi: System-Preferences-Screen Resolution. If the one you need isn't there, configure your display with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 19:14 |
| cluber | When installing 8.10 it asks where i want to install it. /sda1 /sda2 or /sda3. How do i find out which is which? I am trying to install on a partition named '15.7 GB Media'. | 19:14 |
| soundray | dou213: lol! | 19:15 |
| cube | polterge i would just stick with regular ubuntu and add the apps from studio that u want since u have a limited setup | 19:15 |
| soundray | dou213: PCI is NOT a hotplug technology... | 19:15 |
| Appi | soundray: thank you, friend. | 19:15 |
| `TonY | StrikerST, just play with rndc to use the non standard port you defined for your bind9 | 19:15 |
| russell__ | Mat-dg: Do I need to download the animation plugin or is it in the compiz manager? | 19:15 |
| YaroMan86 | soundray: Actually, displayconfig-gtk seems to be completely absent from 8.10 | 19:15 |
| stdin | ebcl: I don't think so, maybe you could add a cron script that runs every minute and checks the output of "who" to see if the user has logged out | 19:15 |
| danbhfive | YaroMan86: thats correct | 19:15 |
| nummer9 | nobody knows something about lpr-printing? | 19:15 |
| StrikerST | `Tony: what do you mean non-standard report, I used the default configuration from apt-get ? | 19:15 |
| JDeLay | Okay, I think the mv worked. THANKS | 19:16 |
| StrikerST | sorry "port" | 19:16 |
| soundray | Polterge|st: hard to tell -- I haven't tried intrepid on a low-spec machine yet | 19:16 |
| Ben_Cs | hello | 19:16 |
| Polterge|st | cube, this is what I was wondering. I may get a laptop soon that is AMD64 would Ubuntu Studio be the way to go on a 2ghz setup with 3gb of ram perhaps ? And do they have it in 64 bit ? | 19:16 |
| `TonY | StrikerST, i meant port , misstypo sorry | 19:16 |
| soundray | YaroMan86: that's why I asked Appi what version he was using (8.04) | 19:16 |
| MaT-dg | russell__: the 'animations'-plugin is already in the manager | 19:16 |
| ebcl | stdin: with the rapidity with which users come and go on these systems, I doubt that would be sufficient to provide a fresh - and private - session for each new user. | 19:16 |
| hardwired | can someone with a working nvidia binary setup tell me the names of the nvidia-specific kernel modules? should there be an nvidia.ko? I just have nvidia-agp.ko and nvidiafb.ko | 19:16 |
| dou213 | soundray: figured it out the hard way :) | 19:16 |
| YaroMan86 | soundray: My bad., | 19:16 |
| Ben_Cs | i have a problem with fusesmb after upgrading to intrepid: i have a directory for samba network mount, and after upgrading this mount disapears after several minutes after booting. the ls -la gives: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? network | 19:16 |
| Ben_Cs | please help! | 19:16 |
| MaT-dg | russell__: it is in the category 'effects' | 19:16 |
| soundray | YaroMan86: do you know how it's done in intrepid? | 19:16 |
| StrikerST | `Tony: I used the default configuration, what do you mean non-standard my DNS server is up and running on port :53 you can run a DNS query on it | 19:16 |
| YaroMan86 | soundray: At any rate, was that incredibly useful tool replaced with something else? | 19:17 |
| YaroMan86 | soundray: I had to use my nVidia X Settings GUI/ | 19:17 |
| Ben_Cs | mostly even after about 15 seconds | 19:17 |
| soundray | YaroMan86: ah, I guess neither of us knows... | 19:17 |
| danbhfive | hardwired: mine is just nvidia.ko on intrepid | 19:17 |
| cube | polterge yeah they have amd64 ubuntu studio | 19:17 |
| danbhfive | hardwired: 177 drivers | 19:17 |
| russell__ | Mat-dg: checking on it now, but I do have the effect I want selected | 19:17 |
| japanfred | hey dudes | 19:17 |
| Polterge|st | cube, does the 64 bit make a huge difference or is it just more stable mainly ? | 19:17 |
| starktron | Hi, I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 with a fresh install. Was very impressed with the LiveCD, everything worked better than previous releases, but upon rebooting after install, I got "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" Anybody have any ideas what could be wrong, or how to fix it? Never had this problem before. | 19:17 |
| hardwired | danbhfive: ah right. did you just install the nvidia-glx-177 package? or anything else? | 19:17 |
| danbhfive | hardwired: well, this install is an upgrade. It installed it for me | 19:18 |
| `TonY | StrikerST, that was your question , you said it tryies to connect to the default ports, i assumed your bind doesn't listen on the default ports | 19:18 |
| cube | polterge the reason i went from i386 to amd64 was that i386 read 2.6gb of ram when i have 4gb installed | 19:18 |
| hardwired | danbhfive: ok. could you do a dpkg -l | grep nvidia and msg me the result? | 19:18 |
| cluber | When installing ubuntu 8.10 it asks me which partition I would like to install it(/sda1 /sda2 or /sda3). How do i find out which is which? I am trying to install on a partition named '15.7 GB Media'. | 19:18 |
| deftone | How can I clean up my system and remove or fix any broken packages?? | 19:18 |
| MaT-dg | russell__: did u selected it from the 'random effects'? | 19:19 |
| abdurraouf | hi guys | 19:19 |
| StrikerST | `Tony: bind isnt working properly, rndc times out, and bind doesnt resolve any domain names | 19:19 |
| YaroMan86 | cluber: You can peek at your partitions in the partition editor: System -> Administration -> Partition Editor | 19:19 |
| abdurraouf | I need help very badly pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease | 19:19 |
| soundray | !ask | abdurraouf | 19:19 |

| jjdiamond | ugraded to 8.10 and my display won't adjust bigger than 1280 x 1024. and i have no intrepid backgrounds. | 19:19 |
| akahig1 | I'm trying to upgrade to Ibex and am getting a "not enough disk space" on /var ... I did a "sudo apt-get clean" as the message suggested, but there's still not enough space. Is there anything ELSE I can do to free up space...? | 19:19 |
| qowao | hey in screen how would i close one screen view?? | 19:20 |
| `TonY | StrikerST, mmm i didn't understand that way, try dpkg-reconfigure bind9 , to default everything there | 19:20 |
| soundray | jjdiamond: how did it go with the restricted driver? | 19:20 |
| Polterge|st | cube, interesting... It seems as if the 64 bit system can address more physical ram and hard drive space perhaps or processor capability but does it actually utilize it as far as speed goes ? For instance on a 2ghz 64 bit AMD Ubuntu setup will I notice a large speed increase vs a 1.2ghz i386 Ubuntu setup ? | 19:20 |
| qowao | i mean command line screen | 19:20 |
| cube | polterge u should talk to me in the private message i sent u | 19:20 |
| StrikerST | ok sec | 19:20 |
| russell__ | Mat-dg: checking now | 19:20 |
| jjdiamond | soundray: worse | 19:20 |
| dou213 | soundray: thx i changed them and now with lspci | grep Ethernet it recognizes them both | 19:20 |
| stdin | ebcl: maybe using something like pessulus. then create a list of files somewhere and running find on the home dir and removing all the found files that aren't in the list. not exactly a elegant solution though | 19:20 |
| Polterge|st | alright | 19:20 |
| soundray | qowao: Ctrl-A K | 19:20 |

| kooparg | is it possible to add mac on grub? | 19:53 |
| soundray | Belboz99: perhaps it's hanging on that very program. You could enter your login details, switch to the text console and check with ps whether it's running, and possibly kill it. | 19:53 |

| poisonkiller | what should I do, if one of my DNS servers don't work? | 20:06 |
| The_Boat | that dosent work | 20:06 |
| `TonY | Phelon, and the groups are back | 20:06 |
| soundray | Belboz99: interesting. How did you find the gconf-schemas thing? | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | The_Boat: maybe envyng-gtk can help | 20:06 |
| hardwired | poisonkiller: nothing, and use the other? | 20:06 |
| Phelon | 'Tony, I got to command prompt and trying now Iwill report back ina second, Thank you! | 20:07 |
| carpeliam | The_Boat: i'm getting the feeling that there are a lot of people with graphics card problems with Intrepid, myself included | 20:07 |
| The_Boat | ActionParsnip: that i have already tried, dosen't work, it cant find fglrx | 20:07 |
| poisonkiller | hardwired: do I have to restart my computer to see the effects? | 20:07 |
| kooparg | MrPeepers310: ive read that if you install vala, you can after that compile it, also tried alien to install vala 4.0 did it, and used alien to convert all rpm of version 0.6 to debs, did it, worked but didnt show any menu... the applet was on the panel but showing NO MENU... i dont know.. they might make some debs soon... im still waiting... | 20:07 |
| jarussi | DracNoc: tkz for the info ... since i dont think i can fix it on my own, will have to wait them!! =) | 20:07 |
| titon | hey anyone got the 96.43.09 drivers working in intrepid? | 20:08 |
| DracNoc | I would like to point out that I received NEW updates for the nvidia drivers on the usual update run today. They seem to be stable (well, my nvidia card worked first time anyway). | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | The_Boat: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/ati-mobility-radeon-9600-m10-on-ubuntu-512410/ | 20:08 |
| titon | i look at the bugreport but i cant find the files | 20:08 |
| MrPeepers310 | kooparg: i just want to remove the setting until they get it fixed because it's treating those menus like actual windows | 20:08 |
| Phelon | 'TonY: Did dthat and it gave me back an ASCII text. Is this correct if so how should i proceed? | 20:09 |
| sercik | someone can explain me how to add a special rule to firewall: accept every type of incoming connection from a specific ip address | 20:09 |
| DracNoc | jarussi, we're all waiting for help from the developers, well, except me maybe - my nvidia worked great. *ducks for cover* | 20:09 |
| kooparg | MrPeepers310: do it from synpatic | 20:09 |
| jarussi | DracNoc: hehe luck you!! =) | 20:09 |
| MrPeepers310 | kooparg: install what from synaptic? i was just gonna mess with the config files to remove that setting | 20:10 |
| Yianpan71 | 3erei kaneis sas ellinika glwssa??? | 20:10 |
| DracNoc | jarussi, if you can being up a terminal or command line, then try the following - it's worth a shot: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - then restart your machine. | 20:10 |
| nemo | I have some 3gp files that are really annoying to play in ubuntu - investigating, I see that ffmpeg is ok-ish with the ARM audio format (which is probably why ubuntu hangs when opening the folder containing them, and totem is highly unresponsive when playing) | 20:10 |
| nemo | however, I see the default ubuntu ffmpeg package has --disable-armv5te --disable-armv6 | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !codecs | nemo | 20:11 |
| ubottu | nemo: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 20:11 |
| nemo | does that mean it doesn't support that audio codec? and if so, why? | 20:11 |
| juna | thanks ActionParsnip and scunizi for helping in pm | 20:11 |
| jarussi | DracNoc: tkz!! will try that!! tkz a lot! | 20:11 |
| nemo | ActionParsnip: welp. that could be it. restricted | 20:11 |
| `TonY | nemo, just use mplayer with libamr_wb and libamr_nb | 20:11 |
| nrcarrier | Does anyone have an idea why firefox and flash take up so much resources now that I've switched over to intrepid? Should I do a reinstall? | 20:11 |
| nemo | oh | 20:11 |
| nemo | amr | 20:11 |
| nemo | not arm. duh | 20:11 |
| nemo | I guess arm is the processor | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nrcarrier: its a big app | 20:11 |
| FloodBot1 | nemo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:11 |
| nrcarrier | ActionParsnip: ya, but over 100 percent all the time | 20:12 |
| nemo | `TonY: thanks | 20:12 |
| alanbshepard77 | Somehow I have a folder in my trash that I can't delete. When I try I'm told the folder or location does not exist :-o I have no .trash folder in my home dir when I check the properties of the folder in the trash it's listed as trash:///folder How can I fix this? | 20:12 |
| `TonY | nemo, most welcome | 20:12 |
| nrcarrier | ActionParsnip: when that wasn't the case before | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nrcarrier: swiftfox is lighter | 20:12 |
| Azzkikr | is there a way to mount an NFS share at a client machine to a certain uid/gid, so I can make it writable for a user/group? | 20:12 |
| DracNoc | jarussi, no guarantees, but it forces x.org to redo itself, it might reset your graphics into something useful. | 20:12 |
| nemo | `TonY: does that lib work with totem? (trying to keep my mom's cellphone from locking up nautilus) | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nrcarrier: compile it with better options to make it smaller | 20:12 |
| CITguy-Homer | Can anybody help me with s-video out with ibex and an NVIDIA FX 5200 | 20:12 |
| scunizi | alanbshepard77, might be trash that is located on a usb stick or external something that is currently removed.. | 20:12 |
| `TonY | nemo, never used that, stick with mplayer | 20:12 |
| nrcarrier | ActionParsnip: I'll give it a whirl | 20:13 |
| `TonY | !ati | CITguy-Homer | 20:13 |
| ubottu | CITguy-Homer: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nrcarrier: you could use less plugins | 20:13 |
| nrcarrier | ActionParsnip: although it mostly only seems to happen with flash pages (youtube, espn, hulu, etc) | 20:13 |
| nemo | `TonY: well, I can't really tell nautilus to use mplayer to generate thumbnails :-/ | 20:13 |
| ubuntuhelp | by default the swap area is 8MB what size is more recommended?? | 20:13 |
| wolfwalker | I installed a game but can't find how to access it under applications. How do you find where it went? | 20:13 |
| Striek | Can anyone here send me a copy of an unmodified bash_logout script? Mine up and disappeared on me | 20:13 |
| nrcarrier | ActionParsnip: if I block out flash, it seems to be fine, but the combination kills my cpu | 20:13 |
| ubuntuhelp | wolfwalker install debian menu | 20:14 |
| DracNoc | wolfwalker, what game was it? | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfwalker: which game? | 20:14 |
| `TonY | nemo, try running one 3gp with totem, and it will ask you to download proper codecs | 20:14 |
| Isacco_Garcia | ciao ubuntiani | 20:14 |
| n8tuser | nrcarrier-> perhaps you can limit java memory usage, i dont remember how to do that anymore, -xmm ? | 20:14 |
| jarussi | DracNoc: worth the try ... will reset!! will be back soon | 20:14 |
| GriFF3n | does anybody know where the main pidgin icon is located? | 20:14 |
| alanbshepard77 | scunizi: Thanks but that can't be it, its a folder from a package I just compiled from source and I had no external drives or USB sticks connected not even a phone. | 20:15 |
| wolfwalker | DracNoc ActionParsnip blobandconquer | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | GriFF3n: /usr/share/pixmaps maybe | 20:15 |
| wolfwalker | Okay, okay, so it was a bit of a kid's game. It looks neat. | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfwalker: try: which blobandconquer | 20:15 |
| GriFF3n | ActionParsnip... Thanks, thats where she was | 20:16 |
| scunizi | alanbshepard77, when you open the trash does anything appear? | 20:16 |
| Reenen | did the way that the clipboard work change in 8.10? | 20:16 |
| wolfwalker | ActionParsnip no comprehension. Is that a command, or are you asking which version I have of the program? | 20:16 |
| ubuntuhelp | by default the swap area is 8MB what size is more recommended?? | 20:16 |
| DracNoc | GriFF3n, there are several places, but you could try /usr/share/icons/hicolor/(various 123x123 resolutions)/apps/pidgin.png | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfwalker: WHICH is a program name | 20:17 |
| scunizi | ubuntuhelp, 1gig is what I use.. unless you're doing a lot of graphics/video work.. then up it. | 20:17 |

| titon | where do i find the deb files they talk about? | 20:17 |
| Reenen | ubuntuhelp: 8mb is too small for these days, it's used for hibernation if you have loads of RAM... more than 1.5gb of ram then you almost just use it for hibernation | 20:17 |

| ferfactor | when i start openoffice in a terminal said me this javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! | 20:19 |
| ferfactor | any idea? | 20:19 |
| scunizi | alanbshepard77, then it's probably because of permissions.. happens to me installing a samsun driver.. you can gksu nautilus and navigate to the trash folder and manually delete it. | 20:19 |

| ActionParsnip | titon: use sudo apt-get install <whatever> | 20:20 |
| MrPeepers310 | ActionParsnip: the file that i can change what settings are on the desktop. i have the mac os x like bar on the top of my desktop and there is no graphical setting to remove it | 20:20 |
| scunizi | alanbshepard77, maybe with the terminal would be more successful.. | 20:21 |
| noah | Say I click on a link in Firefox to start downloading an archive called "foo.tar.gz". When the "Opening foo.tar.gz" dialog pops up it does not ask me if I want to Open with "Filer Roller". Instead it suggests Vim. | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | MrPeepers310: that will be an application, kill it and it wil go | 20:21 |
| noah | I suppose this because FilerRoller is an extension of Nautilus and not a real program. Is there a way I could get Firefox to bring up a FilerRoller window to handle archive files? | 20:21 |
| davelbarton | OK, I'm kind of leery about shoving in here, but I have a wired Ethernet connection that I can't connect to. | 20:21 |
| DracNoc | ferfactor, you may need to install the Java runtime files. From a terminal, use the following command: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre | 20:21 |
| wolfwalker | okay............ | 20:22 |
| Cluber | can i burn a cd on ubuntu live disk? | 20:22 |
| davelbarton | May I ask for assistance? | 20:22 |
| sercik | someone can explain me how to add a special rule to firewall: accept every type of incoming connection from a specific ip address | 20:22 |
| `TonY | noah, in firefox edit -> preferences -> applications and change whatever you want there | 20:22 |
| wh1t3_UB | lol, u may ask | 20:22 |
| MrPeepers310 | ActionParsnip: killed it and it still allocates a space for it also it will pop up with any new application | 20:22 |
| biggerfisch | !ask | 20:22 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:22 |
| wolfwalker | ActionParsnip I couldn't find "which" program and when I installed debian menu now I can't find debian menu. | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Cluber: totally | 20:22 |
| msandbu | anyone know of a good DC client on ubuntu ? | 20:22 |
| wolfwalker | When I ran "which blobandconquer" in terminal it didn't give me anything. | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfwalker: its a terminal app, it tells you which app runs when you type a command. try: which firefox | 20:23 |
| ferfactor | DracNoc, i have installed java... | 20:23 |

| noah | `TonY, Of course, then I wonder why Ubuntu didn't make this part of their default configuration. | 20:29 |

| Pelo | Cyberia, hve y ou run ./configure first ? | 20:36 |
| === fx6 is now known as fx5 | ||
| Cyberia | There is no ./configure, and there is no README file. Just a 'Makefile' file | 20:36 |
| savvas_ | Behr: for example, to install lxde,execute this command: sudo apt-get install lxde | 20:36 |
| Behr | Savvas_ okay thanks, you think that I may be too low on the required specs for it to detect my stuff? Ill try Xubuntu, I heard good things about that. | 20:37 |
| Striek | Cyberia, can you paste the output? | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Petengy: no you should be able to boot as normal | 20:37 |
| Petengy | ActionParsnip: I have to rebbot now ? | 20:37 |

| drarok | Hallo! I'm considering moving to ubuntu for my server, previous OSs have always been FreeBSD... I'm wondering if I need to bother using LVM, and if not, why not? Going to be soft-RAIDing the pair of 250GB drives in this box, assuming it's possible... Relevant? Thanks. | 20:37 |
| Cyberia | Striek: And it's all errors | 20:37 |
| Striek | Well not /here/... | 20:37 |

| DracNoc | ferfactor, lol. ok. no worries. i thought you fell asleep for a minute. | 20:38 |
| davelbarton | Sorry, Streik, I missed your responding question until I looked back. Wireless goes directly into a router attached to cable modem; wired goes through one additional router to get to the router on the modem. | 20:38 |
| Pelo | qowao, did you play around with the hotkey settings ? | 20:38 |

| DracNoc | scribawf, welcome to the #ubuntu channel. We're happy to help. If your problem stems from an error message, copy that message EXACTLY - it really helps us to help you. | 20:40 |
| ubuntuhelp | is there anyway to avoid setting a password in ubuntu? | 20:40 |
| osiris_ | ubuntuhelp: why would you want to not have a password? | 20:40 |
| qowao | seems all right there wh1t3_UB | 20:40 |
| Striek | First I'd try setting it up manually, make sure everything works | 20:40 |
| ubuntuhelp | I'm lazy | 20:40 |
| scribawf | DracNoc; no error message just Blue screen! | 20:40 |
| Pelo | scribawf, try to boot the recovery mode from theboot menu, then drop into root and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , hopefully that will fix things | 20:40 |
| Striek | Wait... what's the wired router's address? | 20:40 |
| davelbarton | Please remind me of the command that gets all of the information from the wireless? I know there is one that displays name servers and stuff as well as the main connection. | 20:40 |

| zzm634 | Hey guys, i'm planning out an ubuntu/vista dual boot machine, and trying to decide on a filesystem. I want to have three partitions, two for each OS, and one large one for media. I want the media one to be readable and writable to both operating systems, and if possible, I'd like it to use transparent compression like NTFS. any suggestions? | 20:45 |
| scribawf | DracNoc Think it's Gnome | 20:45 |
| wledoux | Hi everyone, I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 8.04 on the fakeRAID1 of my motherboard, the installation seems to be ok, but afterwards, I can't boot (hangs on Verifying DMI Pool Data). Please, could anyone help me to "debug" this ? | 20:45 |
| owner | hey | 20:45 |
| owner | anyone good with wubi? | 20:45 |
| Pelo | scribawf, I woulld recommend a clean install, use the live cd to backup your /home folder you'll recover all your data and settings | 20:45 |
| qowao | i tried eveythin | 20:45 |
| owner | can i start that install reboot and resize and cancel? | 20:45 |
| qowao | this is so sick | 20:45 |
| DracNoc | scribawf, the blue screen is a puzzle. You might need to go for a clean install... | 20:46 |
| `TonY | borgman, i meant the type of the wireless card | 20:46 |
| DracNoc | scribawf, ah, Pelo got there first. | 20:46 |
| Striek | I need a copy of the /etc/bash_logout file, if anyone has one | 20:46 |
| scribawf | Pelo; Gud 'nuf was gonna do just that anyways and do a "New clean Install" tnx much | 20:46 |
| Striek | It just *poof* vanished | 20:46 |
| Pelo | DracNoc, there are things I'm not willing to trouble shoot, messed up kernel is one of them | 20:46 |
| ay^ | Striek: I have no such file | 20:46 |
| osiris_ | Does anyone know how to fix this problem with hard drive load cycle count increading every second? | 20:46 |
| qowao | hey and another thing, each time i open something it does NOT appear in the foreground but somewhere in the background!!! | 20:47 |
| Striek | or ~/.bash_logout | 20:47 |
| Striek | Not sure which | 20:47 |
| Striek | But both of mine are gone | 20:47 |
| Striek | Either one will do | 20:47 |
| Pelo | scribawf, If I can make a suggestion, slitghly more trouble but worth it | 20:47 |
| ay^ | Striek: _that_ i have | 20:47 |
| Pici | qowao: Weren't you setting up shortcut keys the other day, perhaps you assigned 'ctrl' to something and its taking control before whatever application can get the key. | 20:47 |
| DracNoc | Pelo, yes, I quite agree. If a clean install isn't going to play, then messing around with it beyond that is of little help. Either it's good to work with from the first off, or not at all. | 20:47 |
| lee__ | YAY, I finally figured out the wireless router ....But, I don't know what I did to get it to work lol | 20:47 |
| owner | anyone got much experience with wubi? was thinking about running it, booting to it, resizing the disk and restarting and killing it without actually installing | 20:47 |
| Striek | Yay can I have it? | 20:47 |
| Cyberia | Striek: here are the errors I get when I run 'make': http://nopaste.info/dea2a49a3f.html | 20:47 |

| Cluber | Well basically when i was overwriting my old ubuntu, I got an error on the disk and the installation aborted. Now The GRUB boot loader has an ERROR 17. I cannot boot windows or ubuntu, instead I have to use the live cd to boot into my pc. command output: http://rafb.net/p/jV2RIw80.html . I also saw that /boot/grub/ does not exist. I need help!!! | 20:49 |
| borgman | tony: ath5k | 20:49 |
| biggi_mat | Oh, I'll surely check, thank you very much. | 20:49 |
| lee__ | The newset obne..Ibex | 20:49 |
| Striek | Cyberia, you at least need to install the gimp libraries | 20:49 |
| lee__ | 8.10 | 20:49 |

| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 20:49 |

| qowao | ahahahahahaha IFOUND IT | 20:49 |
| qowao | I SET MOVE WINDOWS VIA CTRL PLUS DRAG | 20:49 |
| qowao | hahahah | 20:49 |
| Striek | I'd just install the whole gimp editor | 20:49 |
| qowao | in the windows settings | 20:49 |
| ay^ | biggi_mat: but first you have to enable the non-LTS upgrades in your repos | 20:49 |
| qowao | wouldnt have thought of that | 20:49 |
| savvas_ | biggi_mat: from which release are you updating from? | 20:49 |
| FloodBot1 | qowao: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:49 |
| Cyberia | Pici: I need to install a modified version of a utility included in the poppler package, see here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6105703 | 20:50 |
| biggi_mat | 8.04, savvas_ | 20:50 |
| Cyberia | Stried: How would I go about installing gimp editor? | 20:50 |
| qowao | whats the standard again?? ALT ? OR SUPER? | 20:50 |
| ay^ | qowao: you said you dind't mess with the hotkeys? | 20:50 |
| IRCcop | Cluber look in google for GAG you need to restore your MBR | 20:50 |
| lee__ | ? | 20:50 |
| biggi_mat | I did disable LTS in X when I was still home and accessing X | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: alt | 20:50 |
| nrich | ActionParsnip: I believe you mean it will give you flash on 64-it, not a 64-bit flash | 20:50 |
| qowao | ay^: its not in the hotkeys section!!!! | 20:50 |
| qowao | thx ActionParsnip | 20:50 |
| Cyberia | *Striek: How would I go about installing gimp editor | 20:50 |
| ay^ | qowao: alt | 20:50 |
| qowao | perfect | 20:50 |
| qowao | works again | 20:50 |
| ay^ | qowao: but.. wat? | 20:50 |
| nrich | Cyberia: same way you would install any other software | 20:50 |
| Striek | With adept | 20:50 |
| Striek | or | 20:50 |
| lee__ | OOOH Ok I got it inwaht your saying aobut the router | 20:50 |
| Pici | Cyberia: Well, since its a modified version of that, install the build dependencies for poppler-utils by doing: sudo apt-get build-dep poppler-utils | 20:50 |
| qowao | somehow windows also appear in front of others again! | 20:50 |
| Striek | "sudo apt-get install gimp" | 20:50 |
| qowao | perfect | 20:50 |
| hardwired | hi. I get the message "You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-7-server (i686) first." when installing nvidia-glx-177. what exactly do I have to do here? | 20:51 |
| qowao | ay^: its somewhere else | 20:51 |
| nrich | Cyberia: sudo apt-get install gimp or open up your gui installer | 20:51 |
| osiris_ | sudo apt-get install barrack-obama | 20:51 |
| zloog | Hi, Synaptic has been constantly throwing http://paste.ubuntu.com/67523/ at me. Has been for weeks. Is there a fix? | 20:51 |
| DracNoc | lee__, try this: sudo apt-get install kde (from a terminal). It's going to be a BIG install. | 20:51 |
| Cyberia | Thank you Pici, Striek and nrich. I'll try it now :D | 20:51 |
| thefool | I am having a really obnoxious issue where whenever I click on Places -> Documents Rhythmbox opens up instead of a nautilus folder | 20:51 |
| lee__ | OK | 20:51 |
| Striek | Hey, you may need more libraries after that | 20:51 |
| thefool | this is on the latest 8.10, any ideas what is causing this? | 20:51 |
| savvas_ | biggi_mat: perhaps you need to install the update-manager-core package in order to use do-release-upgrade | 20:51 |
| Striek | But that's the first one I saw | 20:51 |
| Cyberia | OK | 20:51 |
| ay^ | zloog: My guess is your /boot has not enough empty space | 20:51 |
| zloog | Never mind that, /boot is full. initrd cant be updated | 20:51 |
| ay^ | zloog: HA beat ya to it! :D | 20:52 |
| Cyberia | Striek: Already have the gimp libraries :P | 20:52 |
| zloog | heh | 20:52 |
| qowao | hey question there is this ALT GR key on my keyboard can i make it an ALT key? | 20:52 |
| Striek | hrm | 20:52 |

| ay^ | qowao: yes | 20:52 |
| qowao | ay^: cool how? | 20:52 |

| biggi_mat | s | 20:52 |
| barneyx | Hi! | 20:52 |
| Pici | qowao: Check System>preferences>keyboard (or similar), there are options in there. | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | qowao: map it in keyboard prefs | 20:52 |

| ay^ | qowao: but then you wont be able to do some characters | 20:52 |
| qowao | thx | 20:52 |
| ay^ | biggi_mat: did you enable non-LTS upgrades? | 20:52 |
| barneyx | I am from brazil! sorry my english! | 20:52 |
| zloog | ay^: Now is there a good way to decide what can be safely deleted? | 20:52 |
| qowao | doesnt work nayways right now ay^ | 20:52 |
| barneyx | I am from brazil! sorry my english! | 20:52 |
| Pici | !br | barneyx | 20:52 |
| Striek | Cyberia, try libpoppler-dev | 20:52 |
| ubottu | barneyx: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 20:52 |
| biggi_mat | Oh, thanks savvas_. I was kinda looking for that one | 20:53 |
| Cyberia | Striek: I'm trying out what Pici suggeested with suggested, i.e. "sudo apt-get build-dep poppler-utils" | 20:53 |
| Striek | sudo apt-get install libpoppler-dev | 20:53 |
| hardwired | what are kernel source packages named like? so I find my specific one with apt? | 20:53 |
| ay^ | zloog: well, any kernel images you never use can be uninstalled, thus providing more space | 20:53 |
| biggi_mat | ay^, I think...but lemme check the URL first | 20:53 |
| barneyx | tanks. | 20:53 |
| Striek | Either should work | 20:53 |
| Cyberia | Striek: But that failed lol | 20:53 |
| ay^ | biggi_mat: do that :) | 20:53 |
| savvas_ | biggi_mat: no problem, it says the same thing, but says to edit a file too :) | 20:53 |
| thefool | opening Documents folder via Places menu is opening rhythmbox, this started with my upgrade to intrepid. Anyone know what is causing this? | 20:53 |
| ProfessorF | Strange. | 20:53 |
| biggi_mat | Yeh, I havent' pay enough attention to notice the release-upgrades editing. | 20:53 |
| Striek | Yeah we're looking up these files on what might be a slightly different distribution | 20:53 |
| biggi_mat | Blah, blah, typos. | 20:54 |
| Cyberia | Striek: Failed to fetch messages, probably b/c gb.archive.ubuntu seems to be down :S | 20:54 |
| lee__ | THisis wierd I keep getting an Authentication failure | 20:54 |
| OddlotX4 | Anyone else have problems with EVE Online in Intrepid? I get to the point where you have to scroll through the EULA, then it crashes. | 20:54 |
| Striek | Try a different server? | 20:54 |
| wledoux | Hi everyone, I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 8.04 on the fakeRAID1 of my motherboard, the installation seems to be ok, but afterwards, I can't boot (hangs on Verifying DMI Pool Data). Please, could anyone help me to "debug" this ? | 20:54 |
| Cyberia | How do I switch? | 20:54 |
| Striek | There should be an option in adept to change your preferred down;load server | 20:54 |
| Rimdar_Klall | Hello! Is anyone ehre familliar with installing and running a Cisco VPN client in Ubuntu 8.04? | 20:55 |
| Striek | I changed mine the other day because it was down | 20:55 |
| savvas_ | Cyberia: switch what? | 20:55 |
| Cyberia | Switch servers | 20:55 |
| Striek | The package distribution server | 20:55 |
| Cyberia | Striek: Adept? I'm doing this all from terminal | 20:55 |
| ProfessorF | Hrm............................... man pages for apt then? | 20:55 |
| savvas_ | Cyberia: system > administration > software sources > download from > choose a server | 20:55 |
| Cyberia | Savvas_: thanks | 20:55 |
| Striek | There ya go | 20:55 |
| sken | sava cafe | 20:56 |
| ruben_ | ola | 20:56 |
| ay^ | ProfessorF: I'd google it | 20:56 |
| Striek | Upgraded to 8.10 here, so everything looks different on my end | 20:56 |
| ruben_ | hello | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Rimdar_Klall: theres a few guides on it | 20:56 |
| ay^ | !apt | ProfessorF | 20:56 |
| ubottu | ProfessorF: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 20:56 |
| savvas_ | sken: macchiato me ligo gala :) | 20:56 |
| ProfessorF | Oh nvrm. | 20:56 |
| savvas_ | ProfessorF: what are you looking for? :) | 20:57 |
| sken | ok dude ego gliko me gala | 20:57 |
| ProfessorF | I'm not looking for anything | 20:57 |
| ProfessorF | Nevermind, I said nothing. I had a momentary brain fart, one could say. | 20:58 |
| savvas_ | ProfessorF: if you're looking for the manual pages of apt: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/apt | 20:58 |
| DracNoc | this I love [quote] <ubottu> ProfessorF: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [/quote]. BASIC... If Windows had anything like that, most of their users would soil themselves. | 20:59 |
| nrich | what's windows | 20:59 |
| ay^ | DracNoc: oy yes, it's nifty indeed | 20:59 |
| ProfessorF | heh | 20:59 |
| nrich | oh yeah windows | 20:59 |
| amews_aj | Anyone who knows what to do about messed up fonts in wine? The text is just like a lot of random dots and lines. | 21:00 |
| savvas_ | nrich: the square (usually) openings in a wall :) | 21:00 |
| jjdiamond | ugraded to 8.10 and there are no new wallpapers and the hardy wallpapers are gone. is there a seperate packager for the wallpapers? | 21:00 |
| DracNoc | nrich, you remember... Windows - the thing with the annoying paperclip. | 21:00 |
| ay^ | jjdiamond: mine came with the upgrade | 21:00 |
| Cluber | Well basically when i was overwriting my old ubuntu, I got an error on the disk and the installation aborted. Now The GRUB boot loader has an ERROR 17. I cannot boot windows or ubuntu, instead I have to use the live cd to boot into my pc. command output: http://rafb.net/p/jV2RIw80.html . I also saw that /boot/grub/ does not exist. I need help!!! How do i boot windows or repair grub? Thanks. | 21:00 |
| hardwired | where are kernel sources that I installed with linux-source-2.6.27 installed? | 21:00 |
| osiris_ | What makes me laugh is the new commercial for windows "windows - a world without walls" | 21:00 |
| nrich | that os with the @echo off business | 21:00 |
| nrich | I don't watch tv but I believe you | 21:00 |
| savvas_ | DracNoc: 2.4 has a similar annoying popup light-bulb :P | 21:01 |
| === thseiler_ is now known as thseiler | ||
| ay^ | Cluber: you need to install grub basically | 21:01 |
| Cluber | ok | 21:01 |
| osiris_ | I am trying to install this new distro called DBAN but it's not working - any ideas? | 21:01 |
| Cluber | Is that easy? | 21:01 |
| noobuntux | hi | 21:01 |
| jereme | anyone having issues with firefox hangups after upgrading to intrepid? | 21:01 |
| nrich | yeah gnome is crap I would say, but then again so is the new direction of kde | 21:01 |
| DracNoc | savvas_, really, can't say I noticed it, but then again, I don't really use OO. | 21:01 |
| ay^ | Cluber: my guess is that you had no separate partition for /boot so when you wiped, you wiped that too | 21:01 |
| noobuntux | $i'm in trouble about my wifi card | 21:01 |
| osiris_ | nrich: Fluxbox for the win! | 21:01 |
| quentusrex | What does this regex mean? /^[[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]{0,64}\.$/ | 21:01 |
| quentusrex | I have no idea how to read that... | 21:02 |
| Cluber | ay^ thats what i am thinking. Is grub hard to install | 21:02 |
| DracNoc | savvas_, hold on... oh yeah, there is it. What is that? | 21:02 |
| Bryan_Sierra | Whenever I try to browse my phone via bluetooth, I get Could not display "obex://[00:1D:E9:BB:C2:F5]/". Error: Method "CreateBluetoothSession" with signature "sss" on interface "org.openobex.Manager" doesn't exist. Please select another viewer and try again.What does this mean and how can I fix it? | 21:02 |
| savvas_ | quentusrex: www.regular-expressions.info | 21:02 |
| nrich | quentusrex: the / and / aren't part of it | 21:02 |
| nrich | quentusrex: and what it says is | 21:02 |
| ProfessorF | Doesn't a Window need a wall to support it, because otherwise it would just be a pane of glass with some bits of wood in it on the ground. | 21:02 |
| ntinos_ | is | 21:02 |
| jjdiamond | ugraded to 8.10 and there are no new wallpapers and the hardy wallpapers are gone. is there a seperate packager for the wallpapers? | 21:02 |
| ay^ | Cluber: I only done it once a long time ago, but as far as I can recall it was pretty straightforward, make a /boot partition first tho | 21:02 |
| savvas_ | DracNoc: similar to the paperclip in ms office :) | 21:02 |
| osiris_ | ProfessorF: heh | 21:02 |
| Cluber | ok | 21:02 |
| nrich | quentusrex: a-z or A-Z or 0-9 with a . and a - then anything from 0 to 64 with a . and nothing after it | 21:02 |
| noobuntux | my wifi card is recognized natively ( Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG ), lsmod | grep ipw is here. But i don'"t see my wifi device. Guess it's because the device isn't power on, but when i click on fn + "sort of logo looking like a wifi radar" nothing happen | 21:03 |
| savvas_ | ProfessorF: ever heard of glass-towers with no actual walls? :P | 21:03 |
| nrich | S.-64. | 21:03 |
| noobuntux | how can i power on my device manually ? | 21:03 |
| ay^ | noobuntux: does dmesg give you anything when you switch it? | 21:03 |
| Striek | Cyberia, any luck? | 21:03 |
| cbrowne | savvas_: they don't have windows either, technically | 21:03 |
| nrich | x.-22. | 21:03 |
| ProfessorF | Savvas_ But the Glass IS the wall, not just a window. | 21:03 |
| quentusrex | nrich, could you give a sample that would qualify? such as test.-10 ? | 21:03 |
| msandbu | is it possible to shrink a ext3 system partision from gparted ? | 21:03 |
| nrich | 4.-14. | 21:04 |
| noobuntux | ay^, no | 21:04 |
| DracNoc | savvas_, now that's nasty. I'll stick to LyX for my documents, TYVM. | 21:04 |
| nrich | quentusrex: I am listing them over and over | 21:04 |
| Cyberia | Striek: I had some trouble connecting to the servers, now I'm just trying to figure out if its the server or the libraries. | 21:04 |
| jjdiamond | is darkroom the only new theme for 8.10? | 21:04 |
| osiris_ | savvas_: We're talking windows here it definatley needs walls holding it up | 21:04 |
| nrich | quentusrex: also, that is looking for WHOLE lines ONLY | 21:04 |
| sharperguy | argh I have to write an essay tonight and since my upgrade to intrepid the computer is being much slower, OOo is crashing and my keyboard layout is mangled | 21:04 |
| nrich | quentusrex: so in other words there can be nothing at all after or before the string matching | 21:04 |
| ProfessorF | Msandbu as long as you haven't mounted the partition at the same time, methinks. As in pop in your live CD and run gparted from there | 21:04 |
| savvas_ | eh ok, can't beat cbrowne's argument :p | 21:04 |
| IRCcop | eternal1 | 21:04 |
| Striek | Well from the error messages, you're defintely missing the libpoppler-dev package | 21:04 |
| ay^ | noobuntux: google for you computer model and wifi switch might be some problems with it | 21:04 |
| IRCcop | wrong keyboard | 21:05 |
| Striek | Of course, the server being down doesn't help | 21:05 |
| Cyberia | Striek: I did what you said: "sudo apt-get install libpoppler-dev", | 21:05 |
| msandbu | ProfessorF: ahhh live CD, didnt think of that ty! | 21:05 |
| nrich | quentusrex: however since you have a / and a / I'm guessing that's a sed statement, in which case it's likely a replacement of that whole line | 21:05 |
| ProfessorF | Np. | 21:05 |
| amews_aj | Anyone who knows what to do about messed up fonts in wine? The text is just like a lot of random dots and lines. | 21:05 |
| noobuntux | ay^, it's a dell latitude D410 | 21:05 |
| osiris_ | Does anyone know how to fix this problem with hard drive load cycle count increading every second? | 21:05 |
| Striek | I checked several of the files mentioned in that error, they all came from that package | 21:05 |
| quentusrex | nrich, Could you show me an example that would work? | 21:05 |
| DracNoc | Cyberia, the download servers have been a little slow recently due to the release of 8.10. It should improve over time as download demands settle. | 21:05 |
| Cyberia | Striek: However pici's suggestion: "sudo apt-get install libpoppler-dev" is like 130MB to download :S | 21:05 |
| amews_aj | Making the fontsize huge solves the problem, but must be possible to solve with small fonts | 21:05 |
| Cyberia | DracNoc, I maanged to download at 700KB/sec :) | 21:06 |
| Striek | COuld well be, I didn't check how big it is | 21:06 |
| quentusrex | nrich, I'm trying to fill out a dns soa form, and that is the regex expression the value must match. | 21:06 |
| ay^ | noobuntux: I know nothgin about that, sorry, but try google for it, my dell had some errors with the led for wifi, but not the switch itself | 21:06 |
| quentusrex | nrich, it's for the e-mail setting. | 21:06 |
| nrich | quentusrex: how many do you need, I'm sitting here giving you them over and over | 21:06 |
| Cyberia | All right I'll try Pici's idea | 21:06 |
| jjdiamond | ugraded to 8.10 and there are no new wallpapers and the hardy wallpapers are gone. is there a seperate packager for the wallpapers? | 21:06 |
| DracNoc | Cyberia, good for you! lol. I have experienced delays before downloads, but keep an eye on it. | 21:06 |
| noobuntux | ay^, if it was just a led problem, i guess my device would be here ifconfig | 21:06 |
| quentusrex | nrich, just one, that would make sense for the e-mail portion of a dns setting. | 21:06 |
| nrich | quentusrex: can you give me the whole line please? | 21:06 |
| Blue112 | Hello everyone | 21:06 |

| nrich | not sure what it's being used for exactly, hard to say | 21:08 |
| quentusrex | nrich, I think it's being used for the mx setting. 'regex' => '/^[[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]{0,64}\.$/', | 21:09 |

| === tp4me is now known as speakez | ||
| tony__ | yeah... I really don't 'need' to upgrade now.. was going to do a fresh install this weekend, but I've never tried the 'dist-upgrade- method before | 21:54 |
| FloodBot1 | barneyx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:54 |
| f00barista | and popd is its counterpart | 21:54 |
| qowao | ok cool f00barista | 21:55 |
| f00barista | help pushd | 21:55 |
| qowao | ok | 21:55 |
| f00barista | at the bash prompt | 21:55 |
| barneyx | . | 21:55 |
| barneyx | sorry, | 21:55 |
| qowao | and how would i jupm back after i jumped back with cp?? | 21:55 |
| f00barista | np | 21:55 |
| tony__ | barneyx: He... already have vista on a different hard drive, although it rarely gets used | 21:55 |
| rubial | rww: the problem is not that...when i installed ubuntu it automatically mounted other win partitions and when i click in icon of that partiton it gets mount in /media/data.......something autofs like thing working | 21:55 |
| qowao | how would i set m tochpad more sensitive btw?? just sucks all the time i click | 21:55 |
| qowao | LESS sensitive! | 21:55 |
| tony__ | so.. dist-upgrade isn't working for anyone as of now? | 21:55 |
| f00barista | qowao, popd to "jump back". or cd - to go back to the last dir you've been at | 21:55 |
| LF-X | at least not for me | 21:56 |
| LF-X | and you :-)# | 21:56 |
| russell__ | what program can I use to burn an avi to dvd and watch it as a dvd? | 21:56 |
| qowao | cd - | 21:56 |

| qowao | thats exactly what i want | 21:56 |
| qowao | nice | 21:56 |
| lusepuster_ | Bump... Lately, something has messed up in HAL (I guess) - when I try and load an audio CD, it says "Cannot mount audio disc - cannot find drive /dev/scd0. Also, it tells me I do not have the right unmount different external devices... Any ideas? | 21:56 |
| f00barista | yep, comes in pretty handy sometimes | 21:56 |
| qowao | and pushd and popd allow me to change dir in the meantime right? | 21:56 |
| f00barista | sure | 21:56 |
| qowao | (where cd - fails) | 21:56 |
| qowao | k | 21:56 |
| qowao | k | 21:56 |
| FloodBot1 | qowao: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:56 |
| qowao | so pushd and popd are the better cd - | 21:56 |
| Slash_Network | hello, how can I resize the Inode size of my partition from 256 to 128, thx? | 21:57 |
| tony__ | QUILz: you type pwd in the directory you want to come back to | 21:57 |
| f00barista | cd - would be for a "one level stack", whereas with pushd/popd you can stack dirs without a limit | 21:57 |
| tony__ | then you go to another director | 21:57 |
| tony__ | any director | 21:57 |
| qowao | whats pwd | 21:57 |
| tony__ | then type cd - | 21:57 |
| tony__ | but you have to type pwd in the directory you want to come back to first | 21:57 |
| qowao | i thought thats pushd and popd | 21:57 |
| voraistos | Slah_Network: i doubt you can do this without reformatting | 21:57 |
| tony__ | pwd just lists what directory your in, but it also 'saves' the directory for later | 21:57 |
| rubial | http://paste.ubuntu.com/67557/ | 21:58 |
| qowao | will try that | 21:58 |
| voraistos | Slash_Network: i doubt you can do this without reformatting | 21:58 |
| qowao | no tony__ did not work! | 21:58 |

| qowao | cd - just jumps back to the VERY LAST one | 21:58 |
| nrich | tony__: you are incorrect | 21:58 |
| voraistos | Slash_Network: However it should be possible to do it using a custom script and dd | 21:58 |
| nrich | tony__: pwd does not save your current working directory | 21:58 |
| CharelB | Could it be that the place of the .bashrc file has changed on ubuntu 8.10? | 21:58 |

I'm on o2 broadband and I suspect their DNS servers are crappy, so I want to switch to opendns. does anyone know where i can change my dns settings? google says sudo network-admin but this isnt installed by default, so i was wondering if there is some default place to do it? | 21:59 |
| Briareos1 | or maybe you can recommend a forum for me? | 21:59 |
| f00barista | tony__, pwd doesnt save anything. just lets you know where you are in the dir hierarchy | 21:59 |
| nrich | tony__: and typing cd - will not bring you to the previously saved directory | 21:59 |
| tony__ | qowao: nrich My bad guys | 21:59 |
| qowao | and pushd works neither! =[ | 21:59 |
| tony__ | qowao: I was mistaken, sorry guys | 21:59 |
| nrich | tony__: cd - brings you to the last directory you were in | 21:59 |
| rubial | the followinf prbleem arises when i try to install mplayer and vlc | 21:59 |
| f00barista | pwd, print working directory | 21:59 |
| qowao | pushd does not save!! | 21:59 |
| nrich | pwd does nothing but show your directory | 21:59 |
| qowao | it says "no other dir" | 21:59 |
| * lifestream asks: I keep closing the wrong firefox window, and then FF saves the WRONG window as the last session... GRR! Is there a way to recover my OTHER session? If this doesnt make sense please ask | 21:59 | |
| nrich | pushd and popd IIRC | 22:00 |
| Slash_Network | thank you voraistos, but even if I format, how I can do this via scripts ? | 22:00 |
| lusepuster_ | Also, the system suddenly doesn't find the writing device of my DVD/DVD R/W drive... K3b says it read CDs fine, but there is no writer | 22:00 |
| f00barista | qowao, pushd does save. pushd /foo/bar would 1) take you to /foo/bar and 2) save the dir from which you come from | 22:00 |
| f00barista | popd would fetch back this "coming from" dir and cd you to it | 22:00 |
| qowao | f00barista: but i wanna store the current dir! pushd does not doe it! | 22:00 |
| hardwired | if I install linux-generic, are the kernek sources installed somewhere along? if not, how do I get the right ones? | 22:00 |

| kri | or dont. | 22:02 |
| voraistos | Slash_Network: the manual/script way would be to copy your inodes, modify them, and paste them on top of the old ones.... tricky, dangerous, and honestly, I'm not an expert on Filesystems so really i have no clue :D | 22:02 |

| user2342 | rubial I googled and found how to replace it, but i did the wrong drive, how can I recover the drive now? | 22:02 |
| f00barista | qowao, if you really wanna save the current dir, you could also save it in a variable | 22:02 |
| f00barista | like, "foo=$PWD" | 22:02 |
| b3lorix | Help Please, i have a Nvidia Geforce 6150 LE, what Driver should i use on Ibex | 22:02 |

| tony__ | $foo = $pwd | 22:03 |
| qowao | ok | 22:03 |
| voraistos | BoomShaka: you have to edit your /etc/resolv.conf | 22:03 |
| f00barista | qowao, no, cos "popd" isnt a dir. i mean, you could if there were a "popd" folder wherever you are | 22:03 |
| qowao | i can create vars anytime? | 22:03 |
| hardwired | qowao: should probably be pushd `popd` | 22:03 |
| f00barista | but pushd == cd in its syntax | 22:03 |

| f00barista | just "cd -" | 22:04 |

| qowao | then B | 22:04 |

| tony__ | f00barista: $foo=$pwd bash=:command not found | 22:04 |
| f00barista | no | 22:04 |
| Striek | It looks like it just gave you a file | 22:04 |
| f00barista | foo=$PWD | 22:04 |
| qowao | need to introduce a var by $? | 22:04 |
| * LF-X is back | 22:04 | |
| f00barista | not $foo=$PWD | 22:05 |
| * LF-X is back | 22:05 | |
| Striek | It's in the directory you compiled it in, right? | 22:05 |
| Striek | The new one I mean | 22:05 |
| * LF-X is away: for 5 minutes | 22:05 | |
| f00barista | you only use $ in front of the var name when you wanna get its value | 22:05 |
| f00barista | not when assigning it | 22:05 |
| Cyberia | The compiled, pdftohtml? | 22:05 |
| qowao | ok | 22:05 |
| Striek | yes | 22:05 |
| qowao | will try that | 22:05 |
| tony__ | so.. foo=$pwd | 22:05 |
| qowao | did not work | 22:05 |
| qowao | $foo didnt show the dir | 22:05 |
| qowao | afterwards | 22:05 |
| tony__ | foo=$pwd bash=:command not found | 22:05 |
| Cyberia | No, there's "pdftohtml.1" and "pdftohtml.cc", but no "pdftohtml" | 22:05 |
| f00barista | PWD | 22:05 |
| nrich | foo=$(pwd) | 22:05 |
| f00barista | uppercase | 22:06 |
| f00barista | $PWD | 22:06 |
| voraistos | roy_hobbs: you need to have a "special" config for this. probably xinerama, twinview or else. If you have two xservers (screens) running instead of an extended one it cannot work -- (or well, that's how i understand it) | 22:06 |
| qowao | worked NRICH! | 22:06 |
| nrich | foo=$PWD or foo=$(pwd) | 22:06 |
| qowao | ah ok | 22:06 |
| qowao | i can use commands in ()? | 22:06 |
| nrich | yes | 22:06 |
| qowao | and PWD is a var already? | 22:06 |
| rubial | user2342: try root (hd0,0) then setup(hd0) | 22:06 |
| nrich | exactly | 22:06 |
| qowao | nice | 22:06 |

| Striek | I have a "pdftohtml" | 22:06 |
| qowao | its a var that ever changes?? | 22:06 |

| f00barista | qowao, yep | 22:06 |

| user2342 | rubial, the problem at the moment isnt that grub isnt working, its that I can't access the drive I accidentally installed it to. I installed it to an external drive with just data on it in NTFS format | 22:07 |

| f00barista | tony__, check any bash scripting tutorial then | 22:08 |
| obf213 | did they remove the open as admisitrator option? | 22:08 |
| f00barista | bash is really powerful | 22:08 |
| Cyberia | Striek: Do you know where the DIR is for the original pdftohtml? | 22:08 |
| Striek | No clue | 22:08 |
| Striek | Try "locate pdftohtml" | 22:08 |

| f00barista | http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html | 22:08 |

| voraistos | then, use dd /dev/random over grub :D | 22:10 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, there's a set of reason for that. Maybe the drive is damaged, you could use the "testdisk" package to check it out. | 22:11 |

| tsmacdonald | What's the purpose of radio buttons in Xfce? | 22:15 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, if the disk you wish to change with GParted is faulty, then you can't do anything with it. testdisk will help you to identify any faults. Have you had any problems with the disk before? | 22:15 |

| user2342 | question for someone, in gparted if i 'check and repair' a filesystem, will there be loss of data like formatting? | 22:16 |
| voraistos | Chipsa964: this happened to me before. I think you can send a bug report or insults to adobe. Also firefox tends to rash itself or the entire system because of some bad flash apps | 22:16 |
| kri | can i attach this to a screen when screen is not running | 22:16 |

| qowao | hey guys ireally want sound in my firefox now | 22:17 |
| qowao | please help me | 22:17 |
| Chipsa964 | voraistos, so is there any way to deal with it right now? perhaps if i reinstalled firefox? | 22:17 |
| qowao | tried all tutorials on google | 22:17 |
| user2342 | DracNoc, i can't access the drive, I'm just wondering if repairing and checking is supposed to be destructive, like formatting is | 22:17 |
| qowao | i hate it | 22:17 |
| lakitu2 | DracNoc: thanks. i have a disk that apparently either had a harddrive failure or a virus (virus is most likely), & became "unallocated" - i used testdisk, & after doing the deepsearch, 3 of my four partitions on shown, in green, & then 2 more in white. i want to recover one of them that is in white, altho i read only the green ones are recoverable - is there any other way to recover the white one? | 22:17 |
| rubial | when u do root (hd1,0) it will mount the linux partiton | 22:17 |
| qowao | now installed the flsashplugin via nsdiswrapper | 22:17 |
| b3lorix | I have a nvidia geforce 6150 LE and used the nvidia-glx-96 driver for Ibex and its not working, anyone know th driver i should be using? | 22:17 |
| qowao | i mean nspluginwrapper | 22:17 |
| voraistos | Chipsa964: No. | 22:17 |
| Chipsa964 | what a bummer | 22:17 |
| kri | qowao: you have sound everywhere but not firefox, you probably need new flashdriver | 22:17 |
| hardwired | b3lorix: why don't you go to the nvidia homepage and find out yourself? | 22:17 |
| DracNoc | user2342, not really. It will attempt to recover a working drive. It's not the same as formatting. | 22:17 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, at one point there was a small part of it that was moved to like...extended a long time ago, and that's long gone...I tried sudo apt-get install testdisk to see the program, but it doesn't exist? | 22:18 |
| rubial | and setup (hd0) will write the grub in the mbr of ur hd0 hardisk | 22:18 |
| qowao | kri: i have installed flash just now | 22:18 |
| user2342 | DracNoc, so it should be somewhat safe to attempt, ok. | 22:18 |
| rubial | in case u boot from hdo the do setup(hd0) | 22:18 |
| b3lorix | Hardwired i tried that thanks for teh sugestion i actually did taht and googles all week and none seem to be working | 22:18 |
| user2342 | rubial, so I want to root to the root of the linux drive, and then I want to setup to the drive with the MBR | 22:18 |
| Chipsa964 | qowao, im having the same issue too | 22:18 |
| sharperguy | Anyone know a decent program for drawing up the prototype of a web page (like with lines and text) and exporting to an image format to be inserted into an office document? | 22:18 |
| rubial | otherwise setup(hd1) or setup (hd2) depending | 22:18 |
| voraistos | Chipsa964: This problem probably occurs when youre on one prticular website. Avoid it, or close the window/tab. If you still have no sound, then restarting X/ killing firefox and other things is the only way. | 22:18 |
| hardwired | b3lorix: heh, well. mine isn't working too, even though I am positive I need nvidia-glx-177 | 22:18 |
| qowao | hate i Chipsa964 | 22:19 |
| qowao | tried AOSS | 22:19 |
| DracNoc | lakitu2, a virus problem is possible. You can do a virus scan using ClamAV from a LiveCD in many Linux distros. | 22:19 |
| qowao | no success | 22:19 |
| Chipsa964 | voraistos, ive tried restarting and killing forefox | 22:19 |
| Chipsa964 | *firefox | 22:19 |
| Chipsa964 | i still dont get sound | 22:19 |
| b3lorix | hardwired, they updated teh xorg and now liek everything for nvidia went downt he drain, they did te samething with fedora 9 | 22:19 |
| lakitu2 | DracNoc: ok, but my issue is, can i recover that 'white' partition, i know green ones are recoverable, but testdisk shows one in white, with a D by the side - is that gone for good? | 22:19 |
| lakitu2 | DracNoc: that's my question | 22:19 |
| voraistos | Cluber: do you have a grub prompt ? Or is there nothing at all ? | 22:20 |
| geirha | sharperguy: Is Openoffice.org Drawing usable perhaps? | 22:20 |
| rubial | yups | 22:20 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, i've just checked the repos, testdisk does exist... it's odd you can't find it. | 22:20 |

| lakitu2 | paradigm, DracNoc: you must go to System . Administration . Software sources, & enable Universe, to install Testdisk | 22:20 |
| lakitu2 | unless that's already enabled | 22:21 |
| qowao | someone help us | 22:21 |
| paradigm | lakitu2, oh, duh, alright. | 22:21 |
| DracNoc | lakitu2, i see... that's a little hard to judge. I'm afraid to say that white partitions are not recognised by GParted. It may be corrupt... | 22:21 |
| lakitu2 | paradigm: i don't know much, but i just went thru that =) | 22:21 |
| rubial | user2342:http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html checkout more details | 22:21 |
| DracNoc | lakitu2, thankyou, I forgot about the Universe repos. I tend to enable it by default. | 22:22 |
| lakitu2 | DracNoc: ok. i'd rather you be honest about your certainty - over certain judgments usually are what screw me over | 22:22 |
| charm | DracNoc: could be lvm partitions if it's white??? | 22:22 |

| voraistos | Cluber: well, I don't know how you can boot into windows, but I do know how you can boot into linux | 22:25 |

| DracNoc | paradigm, OK. Testdisk comes with a command line interface. To run it, you need to run the following: sudo testdisk. From there, create a new Log File, then select the right drive and the right drive type (probably Intel/PC). | 22:30 |

| think_linux | fryguy: OKK | 22:38 |

| KX | Anyone know how to change the bloody growl-like pop-up notices on Intrepid | 22:38 |
| erk1 | confused: By "nothing", do you mean a black screen? | 22:38 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, select that. If it comes back with no errors, then the drive is clean and you can discount physical drive errors - the only problem is that it means that the problem you have comes from elsewhere... ? | 22:38 |
| fryguy | KX: what would you like to change? | 22:38 |
| Dreamglider | can i sync windows and ubuntu screensavers, perhaps one screensaver over both ubuntu and windows over LAN ? | 22:38 |

| embrik | I need a voice recording programme which works for debain - I've tried audacity - but I can't get it to work - do you know about any other programmes I can try? | 22:39 |
| zcat[1] | kri: sudo umount | 22:39 |
| qowao | Mixed_--_: i have sound everywhere besides firefox flash | 22:40 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, ok. It's going, it's a 120gb drive, so it probably will take awhile. | 22:40 |
| qowao | fryguy: which one is best | 22:40 |
| fryguy | embrik: the problem is your hardware configuration, not the program | 22:40 |
| kri | if i 'sudo umount /media/disk' it will work? and how do i get rid of that stupid desktop icon that pops up | 22:40 |
| angel12 | embrik: what doesnt work with audacity | 22:40 |
| Mixed_--_ | qowao: have you tried viewing a video on youtube??? | 22:40 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, if there's no physical error, what can I do to make room for Linux beyond a complete reformat? | 22:40 |
| fryguy | qowao: most people prefer urxvt | 22:40 |
| qowao | Mixed_--_: video plays, no sound | 22:40 |
| qowao | thx fryguy perfect | 22:40 |
| angel12 | embrik: make sure your mic input in the audio mixer isnt muted | 22:40 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, yes, that will take time. go grab a beer *or equivalent. | 22:40 |
| embrik | angel12: I doesn't find the audio devices for in and out | 22:40 |
| test | when i hover the mouse arrow over titlebar it dissappears or turn ugly :/ | 22:40 |
| qowao | fryguy: sudo apt-get install urxvt? | 22:40 |
| fryguy | qowao: firefox sound issue? look at setting up the alsa-oss wrapper in /etc/firefox3 | 22:40 |
| eastwicksmadman | anyone able to help me get a new screen lock into the gnome-screensavers folder? | 22:40 |
| fryguy | qowao: probably | 22:40 |
| zcat[1] | kri: somewhere in gnome's config I think you can opt not to have the desktop icons for mounted filesystems | 22:41 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, eating dinner, and way ahead of you *holds up can* lol | 22:41 |
| qowao | fryguy: tried that no result =pppp | 22:41 |
| KX | How do I change the position of the new Growl-esque unified pop-up notification things from the bottom-right to some place else? | 22:41 |
| Frijolie | fryguy: so it does work? I was reading on the forums and they said that it was blacklisted...but that was a year ago and probably in Hardy | 22:41 |
| fryguy | qowao: just search for it, should be pretty obvious | 22:41 |
| qowao | ok fryguy | 22:41 |
| Mixed_--_ | qowao: try running "alsamixer" from terminal and then raise the volume | 22:41 |
| fryguy | Frijolie: no idea | 22:41 |
| qowao | ok Mixed_--_ | 22:41 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, I'm not sure how you would make room. I'm not sure how you have divided your drive! | 22:41 |
| kri | zcat[1]: gconf-editor, thanks | 22:41 |
| Dreamglider | fryguy: you know how it could be done ? | 22:41 |
| fryguy | no | 22:41 |
| Dreamglider | Ok | 22:41 |
| fryguy | x11 forwarding with xdmcp might be a way but it's a terrible hack | 22:41 |
| embrik | angel12: do you know if I can start audacity in konsole using oss? | 22:42 |
| DracNoc | paradigm.... cheers. (holds up 3 litres of cider). | 22:42 |
| qowao | Mixed_--_: its 100% | 22:42 |
| angel12 | embrik: no idea | 22:42 |
| korogiannos | Hi. I'd like to have my tv cards remote control NOT do default things (Ie volume up down, power switch etc) I want to remap those keys for use with lirc and lirc only. can I stop gnome/X from reading /dev/input/event6? (if I'm barking up the right tree) | 22:42 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, not really divided at all, it has the like...8 megabyte MEDIADIRECT partition that comes with all new dell laptops...It's just so if I put a CD in while it's off it plays without booting =P lol | 22:42 |
| Conglomo | So I installed Intrepid and am setting up accounts. I notice when I do "passwed -e <account>" it expires the password as expected, but users are not able to log in and change the password. Is there a quick fix with PAM that I could do in order to preserve that behavior where it would just require the user to change the password? | 22:43 |
| fryguy | korogiannos: just edit your pointers in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and look into use xmodmap to remap keys, which may be helpful to you | 22:43 |
| AcidPuddle | When I log into the server via ssh, my settings for the locales on the client are used on the server. This is a problem when the server has not the appropriate language etc installed. How can I keep ssh from doing this ? | 22:43 |

| korogiannos | Fryguy Many thanks, I'll google it all now. That is the way to go is it? | 22:43 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, damn, I hate Dell... they do silly stuff in order to try and look clever. | 22:44 |
| fryguy | korogiannos: no idea | 22:44 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, yep... | 22:44 |
| embrik | what is intrepid | 22:44 |
| qowao | what is gutsy? | 22:44 |
| qowao | think ive been thee Mixed_--_ but will try again | 22:44 |
| fryguy | AcidPuddle: set your locale in the profile or rc file of whatever shell you are using on the server | 22:44 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, and they're support is beyond useless, unfortunately, unlike my desktop...I have no idea how to build a laptop...So I had to buy one. | 22:44 |
| eastwicksmadman | new screen lock how to install? | 22:44 |
| fryguy | eastwicksmadman: ? | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 22:45 |
| korogiannos | fryguy, thanks for pointing me in (some) direction. I was stuck and didn't know what else to google. I have plenty of reading up now. | 22:45 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | hi all, anyone ever used timevault? I can't get it to do a baseline snapshot, and I can't get it to actually perform actions either | 22:45 |
| AcidPuddle | Dreamglider: Upgrade to 8.04 first, do a backup and see whether you like and it fits for you. I had severe problems with 8.10 and just converted back | 22:45 |
| eastwicksmadman | i cant seem to add anything to the gnome-screensaver folder | 22:46 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | if I delete a file while timevault is running, the file disappears and a scheduled event appears in the timevault schedluer window | 22:46 |
| Conglomo | as root: passwd -e conglomo >> "Password set to expire." >> exit >> su - conglomo >> "You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)" >> "su: Authentication failure" | 22:46 |
| fryguy | eastwicksmadman: why not? | 22:46 |
| eastwicksmadman | not sure | 22:46 |
| gnux | i have installed 2 to 3 packages today but it is not shown in application menu so how i will i execute them | 22:46 |
| fryguy | eastwicksmadman: it must be giving you some message or something? what makes you think you can't do ti | 22:46 |
| eastwicksmadman | says i have no permission | 22:46 |
| fryguy | eastwicksmadman: so then become root and do it | 22:46 |
| Dreamglider | AcidPuddle: then i have to download two times 700Mb ! once for 8.04 and again for 8.10 ! | 22:46 |
| DracNoc | I can't offer you any advice with a Dell/Vista laptop. Vista OEMs have a nasty habit of using hardware that doesn't play nicely wiith other systems - like Linux. Your best bet is to try and go for a complete Linux install and to remove Vista altogether, but that is not a small choice to make. There is no certainty that Ubuntu will work after that. | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Conglomo: try sudo passwd conglomo | 22:46 |
| eastwicksmadman | how do i log on as root? | 22:47 |
| fryguy | eastwicksmadman: sudo, su, or gksu | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !root | eastwicksmadman | 22:47 |
| ubottu | eastwicksmadman: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:47 |
| qowao | i have no asound and asound.conf | 22:47 |

| LightTitan | How do I check my Ubuntu Version? I installed the beta version of Ubuntu 8.10 awhile back but am not sure I fully upgraded after it officially came out | 22:47 |
| fryguy | Le-Chuck_ITA: why would you link me to that | 22:47 |
| Conglomo | ActionParsnip: I was running it as root. That's not the issue. I can set the password. But I wanted to make it expire so they'd be forced to change it. | 22:47 |
| DracNoc | eastwicksmadman, Ubuntu Linux doesn't allow you too sign on as root, we use the sudo command to get things done. | 22:47 |
| fryguy | DracNoc: my ubuntu let's me log in as root just fine | 22:48 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | fryguy: because you were explaining sudo | 22:48 |
| fryguy | Le-Chuck_ITA: and ? | 22:48 |
| evan_ | hello when i decided to upgrade to intrepid i backed up inportant files and directories ( including my Desktop dir.. ) well when i upgraded filled in the same userinfo as the past installation, it toke the backupdir as hiomedir ... when i set everything back to normal ( it had added the user files just to the normal user dir too... ) it began to complain about rights at .dmrc and i missed my backgroundimage a files.... how can i change my de | 22:48 |
| evan_ | sktop dir and user dir right correctly? | 22:48 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | fryguy: and there's a comic about that | 22:48 |
| evan_ | hiomedir / homedir | 22:48 |
| fryguy | evan_: ls -ld /home/yourusername, is the user and group set correctly, or are they numbers | 22:48 |
| eastwicksmadman | ok thanx | 22:49 |
| DracNoc | fryguy, you're a braver guy than I am. I know that su -i root will do the job, but sudo is there for a reason.... | 22:49 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, well...Unfortunately, I really /need/ windows until I learn linux. | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Conglomo: you are right with --expire | 22:49 |
| Conglomo | It seems to think that it was a failed password when I look at the /var/log/auth.log | 22:49 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, did you get a result from testdisk? | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Conglomo: log off as root then login via gdm | 22:49 |
| evan_ | fryguy: drwxrwxrwx 54 evan evan 4096 2008-11-04 23:36 /home/evan | 22:49 |
| Conglomo | ..even though a failed password would not show that message | 22:49 |
| evan_ | evan is right | 22:49 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, at 45% lol | 22:49 |
| evan_ | fryguy: drwxrwxrwx this is wrong isnt it? | 22:50 |
| Conglomo | I'm trying to add shell accounts. I'd rather not mix it with gdm. | 22:50 |
| fryguy | evan_: what about /home/evan/.dmrc? | 22:50 |
| fryguy | evan_: yes/no/maybe | 22:50 |
| fryguy | evan_: depends on what your umask is and stuff. it's overly permissive if anything | 22:50 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, keep going. I would like to rule out the possibility of drive damage before we try to get you back to Windows. | 22:50 |
| jjdiamond | can anyone provide a link to the wiki ubuntu page for mounting network shares... | 22:50 |

| Le-Chuck_ITA | anyone using timevault actually? I am putting all my good will into that but need to know if it actually has problems with deletion | 22:51 |
| Conglomo | "su - conglomo" and "ssh conglomo@localhost" all fail with the password expired message and then it says password failed. (which is the odd part, wrong password does not show the password expired message). | 22:51 |
| evan_ | fryguy: that last rights line was from .dmrc | 22:51 |
| DeeKay2 | hello! | 22:51 |

| Le-Chuck_ITA | elisa what's up? | 22:52 |
| geirha | evan_: x wil refuse to allow a session if your homedir is writeable to others | 22:52 |
| evan_ | fryguy: it possible that it still uses /home/evan/bkup as userdir | 22:52 |
| evan_ | ? | 22:52 |
| K_Dallas | Hi guys! I was shocked today to see that just by going to menu in synpatic to ask saving my package selection, it collapsed and that anytime I did it, not an isolated event. I am running 8.04.1 and I have never tried to save packages in synaptic. system is uptodate too. How do I fix this? Thanks | 22:53 |
| elisa | how do i install a hardwere on ubuntu? | 22:53 |
| DeeKay2 | Could one of you Ibex-users do a ls ~/.config/autostart/ and copypaste me the result? <:-) I need to know what's in there and don't have Ibex anywhere here... Thanks in advance! ;-D | 22:53 |
| Conglomo | kitche: The problem I'm having is, when a password is expired, the user is no longer prompted to change it, instead it says that it's expired and doesn't let them proceed to change it. | 22:53 |
| fryguy | elisa: you will have to be more specific than that | 22:53 |
| elisa | ok | 22:53 |
| kitche | Conglomo: yes it won't | 22:53 |
| evan_ | fryguy: it has no dmrc.... so that causes the complains but if i remnove it ive no Desktop file./.. | 22:53 |
| Conglomo | kitche: In the previous version of ubuntu that I was running, this wasn't an issue. I could "useradd", set a temp password, and expire it. | 22:53 |
| elisa | how do i install an wireless usb adapter? | 22:54 |
| geirha | evan_: You are unable to login right? From an ls line you posted above, your homedir was writeable to all users ... | 22:54 |
| Conglomo | kitche: The user would be immediately prompted to change it and they could go happily on their way. | 22:54 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | elisa: which adapter | 22:54 |
| evan_ | geirha: i can login.. | 22:54 |
| elisa | philips su6500 | 22:54 |

| DeeKay2 | ok, got it, gaim.desktop is now pidgin.desktop, that's all i needed to know! ;-D | 22:55 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | elisa googled for that under ubuntu already? | 22:55 |
| geirha | evan_: it had 777 | 22:55 |

| evan_ | geirha: i know... | 22:55 |
| === Some_Person1 is now known as Some_Person | ||
| elisa | yes | 22:55 |

| ActionParsnip | elisa: please dont flood the channel | 22:56 |
| kitche | Conglomo: also might need to add that to /etc/pam.d/sshd as well | 22:56 |
| evan_ | geirha: yes... i chmodded it agian and it works now...:) | 22:57 |
| geirha | evan_: you did chomd 644 on the homedir? It needs to have execute permissions, so 755 for the homedir | 22:57 |
| Conglomo | kitche: ah, thanks! | 22:57 |
| fryguy | ActionParsnip: little late to the party | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | lil bit | 22:57 |
| Taigan | 755 gives read write permissions doesn't it? | 22:57 |
| evan_ | geirha, fryguy: thanx you loads!!! | 22:57 |
| adz_ | hey guys. I am having some problems with grub...I have ubuntu and windows installed. 3 hard drives. when I load up the windows partition it says ntldr missing | 22:58 |
| geirha | Taigan: it gives read,write and execute permissions for the user, and read and execute for everyone else | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Taigan: gives everyone read and execute and owner gets writability | 22:58 |
| runpain2 | i am running Ubuntu under kde desktop and cant see a icon for my internet connection in the panel on bottom how can i get it to show either ethernet or wireless when they are connected | 22:58 |
| Grey_Loki | Hmm, so Ibex doesn't use xorg.conf any more, right? | 22:58 |
| fryguy | runpain2: #kubuntu | 22:58 |
| kitche | Grey_Loki: correct | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Grey_Loki: for most things no | 22:58 |
| fryguy | Grey_Loki: sure it does | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | afaik | 22:58 |
| Taigan | geirha: do you have to specify user? | 22:58 |
| Ashar- | ? Intrepid uses xorg.conf for its display still | 22:58 |
| kitche | Grey_Loki: but it can though | 22:58 |
| kitche | Ashar-: yes and no it uses a hotplug system instead | 22:59 |
| geirha | Taigan: no, you change the user with chown | 22:59 |
| fryguy | not it CAN, it DOES. just most of the xorg.conf configuration is hidden from end users | 22:59 |
| Taigan | geirha: okay this is useful does it work for drives also? | 22:59 |
| Ashar- | kitche: my old monitor wasnt supported by default detection. I had to add horizsync and vertrefresh lines and that fixed the resolutions | 22:59 |
| Some_Person | I have a problem with GDM. When I log out and back in, I get a black screen. I think the only reason ubuntu is even working now is that I have it set to automatic logon. Please help. | 22:59 |
| adz_ | is there any way to ask grub which partition it marks are which (so that I would know what exactly to put for root of win partition)? | 22:59 |
| Grey_Loki | Cuz i'm kinda curious - I updated to Ibex a few hours ago, and now I don't seem to be able to get my nVidia 7600GT to be working in anything but safe graphics mode | 22:59 |
| BoomShaka | Hey, does anybody use OpenDNS here? I just switched to it, but now I cant access my router via http://o2wirelessbox.lan which is obviously an internal address | 22:59 |
| Ashar- | Grey_Loki: you checked the hardware drivers? | 23:00 |
| geirha | Taigan: Yes, but you shouldn't chmod drives, the defaults are fine. Add users to the proper groups instead | 23:00 |
| levander | When I search ubuntu forums for a recommended bluetooth dongle, all I get is where people are having problems getting their's to work! Anyone know where I can go to find a list of ones that do work? | 23:00 |
| Grey_Loki | Ashar-, I disabled and then re-activated them. It asked to restart to enable them properly, but when I did I had the same problem - safe graphics mode only, and autoconfiguration goes to a blank screen and does nothing else (at least, nothing else for 20 mins, which is as long as I felt like waiting) | 23:00 |
| Taigan | geirha: because last night i had a usb stick and i reformated it to ext3 but then to copy anything over to it i had to ues a sudo nautilus | 23:00 |
| Ashar- | Grey_Loki: Whats the release version its showing? | 23:01 |
| Ashar- | Grey_Loki: If its 173, try 177 drivers | 23:01 |
| geirha | Taigan: Ah, yes, by default it will only be writeable to root. Change the ownership to your user. "sudo chown $USER:USER /media/disk" | 23:01 |
| Grey_Loki | Ashar-, the nVidia driver? 177 (Recommended) | 23:01 |
| Grey_Loki | I didn't try 173 | 23:02 |
| Ashar- | ok try 173 | 23:02 |

| sunevil | i dont have thar file | 23:03 |
| sunevil | i dont have that file | 23:03 |
| Ashar- | adz_: I dont get it, why do you want to display partitions? grub should automatically detect multiple OS's | 23:03 |
| geirha | Taigan: Sorry, should be "sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/disk" It sets your user as owner, and the group by the same name as group owner of the mounted filesystem | 23:03 |
| fryguy | sunevil: it's httpd.conf in ubuntu i think | 23:03 |

| Iradieh | I have an odd issue, where my screen turns black, yet I can hear sound after a while of playing a movie. This first occured on MPlayer but now mplayer works fine and instead got on XBMC. It is not power-saving or screensaver, those are off. Could it be something with codecs? Even though MPLayer and XBMC use the same codecs. LET ME CLARIFY: The issue was first on MPLAYER, but now MPLAYER works fine, and it's on XBMC instead. It happends att r | 23:05 |
| asteroid_ | I've got 2 issue : 1 minor : no xchat-gnome icon in menu, the second more important no sound | 23:06 |
| Conglomo | kitche: nods, I guess I'll deal with this later, have a meeting to go to now | 23:06 |
| WelshDragon | During the Release candidate and maybe sooner, I never looked, There were Mobile editions of the ISO's for Intrepid Ibex, what happened to them for the final release? | 23:06 |
| Conglomo | kitche: thanks for the help ;) | 23:06 |
| fryguy | ldiamond: likely a bug in the acpi implementation of your motherboard, or nonstandard implementation. Try adjusting your BIOS settings | 23:06 |
| geirha | evan_: Hm, does "xdg-user-dir DESKTOP" display your homedir or the Desktop-dir? | 23:06 |
| ldiamond | fryguy, It works flawlessly in windows. | 23:06 |
| fryguy | ldiamond: so? | 23:06 |

| DracNoc | paradigm, I need to sleep soon. If you can't find a drive fault with testdisk, then you need to consult a Windows forum to get your MBR back. If you have a Vista OEM/install disk, then use that to boot and use the fixmbr option to correct your drive problems. | 23:06 |
| fryguy | ldiamond: you aren't using windows | 23:06 |
| evan_ | geirha: it putsout /home/evan | 23:07 |
| ldiamond | fryguy, if it works in windows, it has to be somewhat standard. | 23:07 |
| fryguy | ldiamond: not true at all | 23:07 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, will do | 23:07 |
| brodymcd | could someone please help me get my broadcom wifi working in 8.10? | 23:07 |
| geirha | evan_: hm, that's probably the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it ... | 23:07 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, it's complete by the way, it says "Structure: Ok" | 23:07 |
| ldiamond | fryguy, I'm not the only one with ACPI issues either. | 23:08 |
| jjdiamond | does anyone have the link to the wiki page for network folder sharing? | 23:08 |
| ldiamond | fryguy, I'd be aiming more at a bug in software. | 23:08 |
| evan_ | geirha: ok thanx | 23:08 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, then the drive is good. so far, so good. do you have a Vista CD/DVD? | 23:08 |
| fryguy | ldiamond: so then contact your motherboard manufacturer and pressure them into either following ACPI spec or to provide proper workarounds in the linux kernel | 23:08 |
| ldiamond | fryguy, I ment the problem was in the linux kernel. | 23:09 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, yep | 23:09 |

| ray_ | hi if on wireless what i set movie player internet speed to | 23:09 |
| fryguy | ldiamond: it's most likely not. the code in the kernel is written to the spec. many manufacturer's don't follow this spec for various reasons, and then add hacks to windows drivers | 23:09 |

| Ashar- | thor^^: check sound options and try the tests | 23:12 |
| fryguy | Ashar-: mirc will run in linux just fine. or go find another irc client and just rewrite the scripts or find equivalents | 23:12 |
| ray_ | want to make sure it matches right internet speed | 23:12 |
| fryguy | ray_: it doesn't matter | 23:12 |
| DracNoc | ok, insert the disk and restart the computer. You should be given a new screen when you restart, from there you need to select the "Advanced Repair Options". Somewhere (I can't remember) you can opt for a command prompt (CMD). You need to run "bootrec /fixmbr" to restore your Vista boot. | 23:12 |
| ray_ | fryguy what you recamend for it | 23:12 |
| Ashar- | fryguy: I tried it under wine but the nicks window is buggy | 23:12 |

| thor^^ | brodymcd: what laptop you got? | 23:14 |
| drarok | Hi all, I've got a ubuntu server install up, I'm trying to now make the 2nd HDD in it a soft-RAID mirror. I used LVM in the install... | 23:14 |
| ray_ | fryguy i installed real player and it oping totem movie player not realy player when i play a real player format in firefox on 8.10 how i fix this | 23:15 |
| Mecha251 | 8.10's System Monitor is partially transparent, but keeps critical information opaque. Can I enable this in other apps | 23:15 |
| ray_ | ? | 23:15 |
| brodymcd | ok - I had 8.04 working fine with my wireless... but when I went to 8.10, it stopped working. I know it has something to do with ndiswrapper... but Iḿ not that swift. 8.10 claims to have a hardware driver for broadcom, but when I click äctivate"it does not do anything | 23:15 |
| fryguy | ray_: no idea, why ask me | 23:15 |
| DracNoc | paradigm, sorry I couldn't help any further. At least we know your drive is suitable for use. :) | 23:15 |
| drarok | I assume it's some combination of pvcreate and lvcreate etc, but I can't find a recent guide on it | 23:15 |
| ray_ | fryguy your first to help | 23:15 |
| thor^^ | drarok: did you format the secondary drive to lvm? | 23:15 |
| ray_ | any one eles see my q can help me with it | 23:15 |
| fryguy | ray_: first to help with what? i don't know anything about real player | 23:15 |
| drarok | thor^^: Potentially not. | 23:15 |
| ray_ | any one good with real player | 23:16 |
| ray_ | ? | 23:16 |
| thor^^ | brodymcd: you got a broadcom wifi? | 23:16 |
| brodymcd | thor - yes | 23:16 |
| paradigm | DracNoc, no problem, thanks for all your help =) Tattybye! | 23:16 |
| drarok | I issued a `pvcreate /dev/sdb1`, but I'm breand new to LVM, I'm a FreeBSD man. | 23:16 |
| fryguy | ray_: just use mplayer, most people would probably agree that it's better in every possible way | 23:16 |
| thor^^ | drarok: to make it work like a mirror you must first make it a lvm disk | 23:16 |
| ray_ | fryguy any plug in for real for it | 23:16 |
| fryguy | ray_: yes | 23:16 |
| ray_ | fryguy what i need | 23:17 |
| fryguy | ray_: mplayer | 23:17 |
| ray_ | i have w32 installed | 23:17 |

| ray_ | fryguy o ok can i use movie player | 23:17 |
| thor^^ | drarok: use gparted | 23:17 |

| Grey_Loki | Hmm, so i'm getting an error about X not being able to load the nvidia kernel module when I first start my machine, and I get booted to safe graphics mode. A bit of googling, and I think my problem may be that the nvidia driver i'm trying to use is compiled for a kernel version higher than what i'm using (2.6.24-18-generic, says uname). Update Manager says there're no updates for my system, though it appears i'm running an outdated kernel. Can I force anoth | 23:21 |

| rww | qowao: if you mean config files, http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/R/rc-file.html | 23:26 |
| qowao | fryguy: and the "sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/flashfix.sh && sudo update-rc.d flashfix.sh defaults"? | 23:26 |
| qowao | thx rww | 23:26 |

| mib_t3cctcs | Hello, I remember reading about a tool being release officially from cannical to convert a cd iso to usb? Has that tool been released or do I still have to manually edit the iso? | 23:27 |
| thor^^ | drarok: strange | 23:27 |
| mib_t3cctcs | to boot form a usb drive that is | 23:28 |
| drarok | thor^^: I think the partition table is already lvm, but my current install of pvm isn't using it? Perhaps if I destroy the partition table and start fresh? | 23:28 |
| mn | DracNoc: So i just went through the install instructions. Can I now terminate ndiswrapper and it will still work? | 23:28 |
| thor^^ | drarok: to be hounest i've only used LVM on SuSE(which is using it as default setup) and only in a raid 0-ish setup | 23:28 |

| brodymcd | rickzilla - Iḿ using 8.10... | 23:34 |
| thor^^ | DracNoc: mind sharing some? I could really need something now | 23:34 |
| Dreamglider | can i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10 without going to 8.04 first then 8.10 ? | 23:34 |
| fryguy | Dreamglider: probably not | 23:34 |
| danbhfive | jmk2: are you sure its stuck? | 23:34 |
| RickZilla | Dreamglider: They have those guidelines right on the ubuntu wiki | 23:35 |
| rww | Dreamglider: it's probably possible, but it's a Really Bad Idea, and you shouldn't do it | 23:35 |
| Sajuta | Dreamglider: Better to back up and do a fresh install. | 23:35 |

| RenatoSilva | I've just finished update from 8.04 to 8.10, but I didn't override menu.lst with the new version because of the colors and other stuff. Now I'm booting with the older kernel. I'm thinking about updating it manually, replacing occurrences of 8.04 for 8.10 and of the old kernel for the new one. Is this OK? Is this OK? Is this OK? Would be better to use the new menu.lst? How to get it now? | 23:35 |
| RickZilla | brodymcd: You need to make an iso cd first, then create the usb from there | 23:35 |
| qowao | i hate you ubuntu | 23:35 |
| brodymcd | rick - that isnt my issue... my issue is my broadcom wifi... can anyone help? | 23:35 |
| fryguy | qowao: thankfully there's plenty of other choices for operating systems available | 23:35 |
| Dreamglider | RickZilla: what´s the url to that wiki ? | 23:36 |
| RenatoSilva | qowao: hahahaha | 23:36 |

| qowao | braaaaaaaaah >8-{ } | 23:36 |
| qowao | shut it RenatoSilva you have sound i dont im traying all day long | 23:36 |
| RickZilla | Dreamglider: Just go to ubuntu.com, follow the links for downloading, and it should take you right there | 23:36 |
| rww | qowao: your problem is with Flash, right? Why are you blaming Ubuntu instead of the Adobe developers who don't make a decent version of Flash for Linux, and don't open source what they do have? | 23:36 |
| DavidMcNally | They said that totem in 8.10 would have live streaming from the BBC, but I can't get it to work. Anyone know how to? | 23:37 |
| qowao | rww: BECAUSE its just ONE lcik in windows!! | 23:37 |
| rww | qowao: it's not Ubuntu's fault that the closed-source software you're wrestling with doesn't work | 23:37 |
| fryguy | qowao: so then go and use windows | 23:37 |
| xavieran | For some reason update-manager wants to install nvidia drivers but I have an intel gfx card, and my machine has no trace of nvidia upon it... | 23:37 |
| rww | qowao: then go complain to Adobe that their software is broken on Linux | 23:37 |
| jmk2 | danbhfive: last log says "[datetime] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts .... done" | 23:37 |
| Grey_Loki | After upgrading to Ibex (during which there was an error about not being able to upgrade the kernel), I now cannot use anything but safe graphics mode. When I start Ubuntu, I get an error saying that X cannot load the nVidia kernel module. Autoconfiguration doesn't work, and I can't seem to read any of the logs selectable from the GUI. Is there a way to force another update and get my current kernel (2.6.24-18-generic) up-to-date? Or should I be looking at | 23:37 |
| qowao | rww: it does not matter whehter i use the abdobe flash or the ubuntu flash!! | 23:37 |
| Grey_Loki | another method for fixing this issue? | 23:37 |
| izzy200198 | im stuck on busybox with fresh install. have tried changing bios settings for sata. nothing helped. can anyone help? | 23:37 |
| Chipsa964 | rww, weird thing is, my sound was working last night | 23:37 |
| RenatoSilva | qowao: what's your specific problem | 23:37 |
| Chipsa964 | but now, its not for some reason | 23:37 |
| rampageoberon | rww: no point arguing with people who are not open to new things | 23:37 |
| izzy200198 | i then loaded 8.04 and upgraded | 23:38 |
| thor^^ | Hi, I lost sound on both my sound cards all of a sudden(only a reboot in between) running Intrepid. one is a Onboard sound card the other is Aureon 7.1 sound card, both known to work flawlessly on linux | 23:38 |
| qowao | hey RenatoSilva im trying an entire day to get sound in my firefox flash i tried EVERYTHING on google there is | 23:38 |
| Flannel | qowao: You mean flashplugin-nonfree as your "Ubuntu flash"? | 23:38 |
| kitche | rww: considering that most likely ubuntu's flash isn't built for pulseaudio | 23:38 |
| qowao | RenatoSilva: it just does not play sound. i see videos but no sounnd | 23:38 |
| xavieran | Hello | 23:38 |
| rww | qowao: There is no "ubuntu flash". There's the non-free, closed-source Adobe Flash plugin, and Gnash, which is open-source, and has its own problems (and also its own channel for you to complain in!) | 23:38 |
| fryguy | qowao: so then go and use windows. endlessly complaining isn't going to do anything but annoy others in the channel. Go use windows if that's what you want, or ask intelligent questions in this channel, or just leave | 23:38 |
| qowao | Flannel: no, three is a free falsh pulgin right? see | 23:38 |
| izzy200198 | it worked but booting on new kernal makes dvd dispear. booting on previous kernal, dvd ok | 23:38 |
| izzy200198 | thoughts? | 23:38 |
| izzy200198 | anyone? | 23:38 |
| xavieran | For some reason update-manager wants to install nvidia drivers but I have an intel gfx card, and my machine has no trace of nvidia upon it... | 23:38 |

| xavieran | ack | 23:39 |
| qowao | fryguy: hey dont be impolite all i want is SOUND in firefox!! is this too much? | 23:39 |
| jmk2 | my Update Manger is stuck on "Configuring mono-apache-server2" while upgrading to 8.10 ... how can i tell it to continue without breaking the update process? | 23:39 |
| qowao | its like food | 23:39 |
| fryguy | qowao: no it's not. the way you are approaching it IS | 23:39 |
| qowao | rampageoberon: doesnt work for 64bit | 23:39 |
| gaminggeek | qowao: ok close firefox | 23:39 |
| Adremelech|MacBo | anyone know how to right click in ubuntu on a mac? | 23:39 |
| rww | gaminggeek: Yes, because before pulseaudio came along, flashplugin-nonfree worked just fine and wasn't broken at all </sarc> | 23:39 |
| izzy200198 | got it | 23:39 |
| qowao | ok gaminggeek | 23:39 |
| qowao | hold on | 23:39 |
| rww | w/e, I'm gonna take a break before I flame anyone else :) | 23:39 |
| qowao | closed | 23:39 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | Hi | 23:40 |
| fryguy | flash has always worked for me, with oss, alsa, or pulseaudio, doesn't matter. Don't know what everyone's problem is with configuring basic hardware devices in linux | 23:40 |
| izzy200198 | anyone know why when booting into 8.10 i can no longer see my dvd drive? | 23:40 |
| gaminggeek | qowao: open up the terminal and try this killall pulseaudio | 23:40 |
| gaminggeek | qowao: then start it again with pulseaudio -D | 23:40 |
| qowao | (and flash works too on images, videos move) | 23:40 |
| kitche | qowao: your issue is most likely that libflashsupport does not have pulseaudio enabled | 23:40 |
| RenatoSilva | qowao: tried reinstalling (remove completely) FF and sound packages etc? | 23:40 |
| gaminggeek | qowao: sorry I have to go | 23:40 |
| gaminggeek | hope that worked for you | 23:40 |
| jmk2 | will restarting apache get me out of this mess? | 23:40 |
| danbhfive | jmk2: yeah, I dunno. I would keep waiting, hoping that it starts again. Its probably not that apache package, but the next one. If it really never continues, and you end up closing the program, DON"T RESTART! come back here, and get help completing the installation | 23:41 |

| Azhi_Dahaka | Two questions: 1) Pidgin crashes on Intrepid (install from ubuntu repos), I disabled every single plugin but still... how can I track the source of it? | 23:41 |
| rww | fryguy: yeah, flashplugin-nonfree works absolutely fine for me. I've since switched to gnash for other reasons, which may include masochism >.> | 23:41 |
| DracNoc | goodnight to everyone... here's something to think about. No matter where you go, or what you do, you'll always be there and you'll have nobody to blame but yourself. | 23:41 |

How to get it now? | 23:42 |
| Chipsa964 | so should i use pulseaudio or alsa if im having the same issue? | 23:42 |

| aoeuid | is there a simple way to convert an array into an arraylist? | 23:43 |
| rampageoberon | qowao: thought you said it doesn't work | 23:43 |

| qowao | ook it didnt | 23:43 |

It was not screensaver or powersaving and I tried restarting gdm but still nothing. I could hear sounds, but the screen went dark. NOW with MPLAYER it works fine, no issues there AT ALL.

| cmdbbq | i have a question about synaptic, if a package is listed under Status>Installed (local or obsolete) can i safely assume they are not necessary and that i may uninstall them? | 23:56 |
| danbhfive | jmk2: lets talk in #ubuntu-classroom | 23:56 |
| fryguy | emilien: depends on the network and the network cards being used, but that can sometimes be the case | 23:56 |
| fryguy | emilien: or you are just a member of 2 separate subnets? | 23:56 |
| RenatoSilva | I want override now because I thought the entries would be updated | 23:56 |
| RenatoSilva | but they weren't touched | 23:56 |
| cmdbbq | i have some stuff listed in there that has to do with an older version of the kernel, and i want to get rid of them, but i don't want to break anything | 23:56 |
