| RAdams | carlinhos: one moment, checking | 00:00 |
| M1DLG | Hello all, I have a Buffalo NAS and would like to view the shares on it on my Ubuntu laptop, I know the IP for it but don't know how to do it. | 00:00 |
| carlinhos | RAdams: perfect, look for "modeline". I dont know if is that what you need... | 00:01 |
| ecclesiastes_ | Maltor124: I have to tell you, I don't recognize the 'quiet' thing you have in your menu.lst | 00:01 |
| Tyrath | how do I set my universal proxy settings to "direct internet connection" in terminal? | 00:02 |
| Tyrath | - because I have to start up the GUI if I want to use IRC for example | 00:02 |
| Maltor124 | ecclesiastes_: Think that may be it? The link you gave is from 2004, and I doubt it's still applicable...? What might the quiet do? | 00:02 |
| Tyrath | - and that's cause I've set some weird proxy config so I can use my comp at uni | 00:02 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | ok, how do i display all the information pertinent to my wireless card, i.e its driver, manufacturer, etc. | 00:02 |
| RAdams | ecclesiastes_ & Maltor124: quiet supresses certain bootup information. it's harmless | 00:03 |
| YlandeFaran | What do i "apt-get" to be able to compile .c and .cpp files? | 00:03 |
| RAdams | CoRnJuLiOx: how is it connected to your computer? | 00:03 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | RAdams, its in my laptops miniPCI slot, i believe | 00:03 |
| Tyrath | also, how do you put stuff in the buffer in console mode? | 00:03 |
| RAdams | YlandeFaran: build-essential should have all you need, but check the gcc utilities as well for additional tools: apt-cache search gcc | 00:03 |
| bastid_raZor | YlandeFaran build-essential | 00:04 |
| RAdams | CoRnJuLiOx: try sudo lspci | 00:04 |
| ecclesiastes_ | RAdams: I have seen it as a boot directive but not as a grub directive : http://paste.ubuntu.com/68121/ | 00:04 |
| Tyrath | - and if there's not a way, and you simply have to write to a file to get info in another console, how do you paste the info from that file into the command line (so it can be executed as a command) ? | 00:05 |
| RAdams | ecclesiastes_: we talking line 85 here? | 00:05 |
| RAdams | !oneline | Tyrath | 00:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about oneline | 00:05 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | RAdams, thats the thing, i can't tell which of the two network cards it is. one says Network Controller: Intersil Corp. Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset, and the other one says Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82801CAP (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) | 00:05 |
| RAdams | fail, robot | 00:05 |
| RAdams | !enter | Tyrath | 00:05 |
| ubottu | Tyrath: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:05 |
| RAdams | ethernet = wired :) | 00:06 |
| RAdams | CoRnJuLiOx: ^ | 00:06 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | ok | 00:06 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | thanks | 00:06 |
| harlekin | CoRnJuLiOx, it's the first one | 00:06 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | how do i tell which driver it's using? | 00:06 |
| ecclesiastes_ | RAdams: line 130, 141 | 00:06 |
| ecclesiastes_ | RAdams: I just haven't seen it before. | 00:07 |
| woody86 | how can I extract files to /usr/src/ it's saying I don't have the right permissions? | 00:07 |
| bastid_raZor | woody86; use sudo | 00:08 |
| RAdams | ecclesiastes_: it's like the opposite of the "debug" argument... it supresses every message from the startup screen except fatal errors | 00:08 |
| RAdams | building from source but don't know how to sudo? scary... :| | 00:08 |
| woody86 | bastid_raZor- and what command? I'm trying to do it through FileRoller | 00:09 |
| droopsta915 | what are community themes | 00:09 |
| CoRnJuLiOx | RAdams, how do i tell which driver my wireless card is using? | 00:09 |
| lloyd | I cannot connect to my wireless internet. When I put in the right key, it tries to connect but then doesn't, and asks for the key again. I am certain this is the key. http://nopaste.org/p/agZoQKaEab is the dmesg. http://nopaste.org/p/afZsIuauF that's what happens when I do iwconfig. http://nopaste.org/p/apfU5ocBm and that is an lspci. | 00:09 |
| bastid_raZor | woody86; you could start fileroller from terminal with gksudo fileroller | 00:09 |
| woody86 | bastid_raZor- Thank you very much :) | 00:09 |
| M1DLG | Hello all, I have a Buffalo NAS and would like to view the shares on it on my Ubuntu laptop, I know the IP for it but don't know how to do it. | 00:09 |
| RAdams | bastid_raZor and woody86: gksu, not gksudo, there is a difference | 00:10 |
| gabrielcz | Hi all there, I have a sound drivers problem. I have a motherboard (asus p5n32 sli plus) and the sound was working, then I install a new creative xfi and trying to set the xfi I broke sound :( Now, i have not audio at all, any clue? | 00:10 |
| ecclesiastes_ | Maltor124: OK. how about from 2006: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 00:10 |
| cliechti | M1DLG: places->network may me a start | 00:10 |
| bastid_raZor | !gksudo | 00:10 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:10 |
| Maltor124 | ecclesiastes_: That's better, I'll look at it. Thanks. :D | 00:11 |
| RAdams | bastid_raZor: sorry, you're right. it's the old (old, old) kdesudo kdesu difference I'm thinking of. ignore me, my brain is full of cobwebs | 00:11 |
| woody86 | RAdams- bastid_raZor- either way, neither gksu or gksudo is doing anything | 00:11 |
| M1DLG | I can't find it in the network | 00:11 |
| sysdoc | Anyone figure out the problem with X and 2 X sessions?? | 00:11 |

| woody86 | bastid_raZor- ok, nevermind, it was file-roller, not fileroller, thanks :D | 00:13 |
| Maltor124 | ecclesiastes_: That's what I've done before, but I guess it can't hurt to try again. I'll give it another whirl. I'll be gone for a bit while I restart. | 00:13 |
| cliechti | M1DLG: you isn't it serving windows shares? do you reach its web interface? | 00:13 |

| === woody86_ is now known as woody86 | ||
| karsten | ecclesiastes_: yeah. | 01:09 |
| karsten | ecclesiastes_: Got me stumped. | 01:09 |
| fuffwork | kind of unrelated from my ubuntu instllation, but is there any reason (other than faulty ram) that my rma might be producing a TON of erriors in memtest86? | 01:09 |
| Chrisie | Guest62417: the rpm is a package format used by other nix distros; the tar files are the actual source code which you would have to compile which might be trouble if you are new to linux | 01:09 |
| karsten | fuffwork: Sure. Other hardware errors. | 01:09 |
| jrib | FFForever: why do you want to do this? for fun? | 01:09 |
| FFForever | jrib, more or less and to test my system :D | 01:10 |
| fuffwork | karsten, is there any way of figuring out which it is? other than buying new ram and checking that? ;p | 01:10 |
| karsten | fuffwork: If memtest86 is erroring (or frequently: failing and crashing), you've usually got some pretty significant system bugs. | 01:10 |
| cliechti | fuffwork: bad timing settings in your bios, or broken hardware | 01:10 |
| karsten | fuffwork: What cliechti said: overclock or related might also be it. | 01:10 |
| fuffwork | the one thing i notice is that in memtest it's reporting my ram as 5-5-5-18, my ram is 4-4-4-12 | 01:10 |
| Zackfett | ok what is scrollkeeper? | 01:10 |
| fuffwork | could that be doing it? | 01:10 |
| karsten | fuffwork: memtest86+ errors generally point to RAM. Try removing one or more sticks. Might be mobo or CPU as well. | 01:11 |
| Zackfett | what is scrollkeeper? | 01:11 |
| karsten | fuffwork: Is the box under warranty? | 01:11 |
| fuffwork | karsten, the box is just a bunch of parts, the ram has lifetime warranty tho | 01:11 |
| compu73rg33k | what does the blue i mean in the bluetooth preferences? | 01:11 |
| Zackfett | what is scrollkeeper? | 01:11 |
| jrib | fuffwork: call/contact the memory manufacturer. They'll tell you the correct settings. My memory produces errors if I let my bios set voltage as well for example | 01:11 |
| crtoe | blockdev --report /dev/*; # gives me a segfault, anyone else get this? | 01:11 |
| fuffwork | jrib, i actually did call (they're closed now), the only thing he told me was to up the voltage on the ram and try it out again- | 01:11 |
| fuji | anytime I try to run a program with sudo it says sudo: unable to resolve host [myhosthere] ... Is there a way to just enable a root user since my sudo appears broke | 01:11 |
| Zackfett | what is scrollkeeper? | 01:12 |
| cliechti | jrib: interesting. i have that other box that has memory erros at times too. hm.. | 01:12 |
| Cluber | How do I stop the annoying error noises? | 01:12 |
| cliechti | Zackfett: try google fi you dont get an answer here ;-) | 01:12 |
| karsten | fuffwork: general test is remove and test half of RAM, or one stick at a time. How long it takes to trigger errors has something to do with the testing process. | 01:12 |
| === irc is now known as Guest1855 | ||
| Skry^ | Zackfett, for gods sake can't you google that? | 01:12 |

| jrib | fuji: we can fix your sudo. pastebin the contents of /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname | 01:12 |
| Zackfett | firefox isnt opening | 01:12 |
| karsten | fuffwork: If you can swap in all new RAM and still have errors, problem is other than (or more than) memory. | 01:12 |
| Cluber | How do I stop the annoying error noises? ( for example when i press backspace in terminal when nothing is there. ) | 01:12 |

| woody86 | does anyone know how to completely remove folding at home from my computer? | 01:14 |
| cliechti | Zackfett: you dont make friends acting like that... scrollkepper is indexing you disk for documentation. you can kill that process if its holding up your upgrade | 01:14 |
| YlandeFaran | How do I enable .c and .cpp-file compiling on Ubuntu? | 01:14 |
| karsten | ecclesiastes_: Try a rename. 'mv <module-file> <module-file>.disabled' | 01:14 |
| crtoe | Guest1855: pastebin the contents of dmesg | 01:14 |
| karsten | ecclesiastes_: ... you can undo that trivially if needed. | 01:14 |
| jrib | YlandeFaran: install the build-essential package | 01:14 |

| Cluber | crtoe: Thanks. | 01:15 |
| l0newolf | beli: no luck sadly, same result. got the exact error message for you now though | 01:15 |
| woody86 | dr_willis- I think it was just the Ubuntu wiki for the folding team, but I'm not sure exactly how | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | OddlotX4, avi is a container.. the video itself could be any of several dozen codecs. Install the w32codecs page. | 01:15 |
| l0newolf | beli: Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<long string> does not exist. Dropping to a shell! <-- that's where it drops me to initramfs | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | woody86, if you used the pacakge manager to iNstall. you use it to uninstall.. if you followed some other docs.. you would need to check those docs | 01:16 |

| Cluber | How do i make it so that when I highlight something in the terminal, it automatically puts that selected text into the clipboard? | 01:17 |
| karsten | Cluber: X does that automatically. | 01:17 |
| Cluber | What is X | 01:17 |
| karsten | Cluber: left-button + highlight == copy. middle-button == paste | 01:17 |
| karsten | Cluber: Linux's GUI. | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | Cluber, theres the 'clipboard' then theres the X selection.. :) the 2 are often set to be identical | 01:18 |
| Cluber | well when i highlight, it doesn't copy. | 01:18 |
| l0newolf | anybody know if beli went afk? | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | Cluber, highlight, then middle click.. is one easy way.. thats a differetn 'buffer' then the clipboard in some setups | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | Cluber, theres also some clipboard tools you can run to tweak how it works.. gclipper is one I think | 01:19 |
| LoveGuru | is there anyone who can help to fix connection? | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | !info gclipper | 01:19 |
| ubottu | Package gclipper does not exist in intrepid | 01:19 |
| snowveil | karsten , can udev be used as a terminal command or will I have to edit udef.conf? | 01:19 |

| fuji | jrib: in response to the broken sudo: http://pastebin.com/m4560ebbf | 01:20 |
| karsten | snowveil: udev is the overall system used to manage device files. It's configured mostly through some stuff under /etc/udev/ | 01:20 |
| beli | l0newolf: hmm ok | 01:20 |
| l0newolf | fuffwork: it usually is there, might not be offered by your motherboard for some reason though | 01:20 |
| karsten | King: man fdisk mkfs | 01:20 |
| l0newolf | beli: ah, you saw the messages then. | 01:20 |
| fuffwork | lonewolf: would the setting actually be 4-4-4-12, 5-5-5-18 etc? or are those summed up by another sum? | 01:21 |
| OddlotX4 | Alright, the MPlayer didn't solve the problem. | 01:21 |
| OddlotX4 | The main problem is that the video flickers. | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | king fdisk it to partiion it. mkfs to format, or use gparted for a gui :) if ya want.. | 01:21 |
| l0newolf | fuffwork: that's RAM timing as far as I know, depends on the RAM what the timing is by default | 01:21 |
| fuffwork | the only memory speed setting i can find is "system memory mulitipler (spd)" | 01:21 |
| Cluber | cp /home/danny/Desktop/pgtools/ /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages why doesn't this command work. The error is "omitting directory `/home/danny/Desktop/pgtools/'" | 01:22 |

| King | dr_willis: i got errors | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | king i would imagine you used it wrongly then.. or have other issues.. | 01:22 |
| usser | Cluber, cp copies files by default. u have to use cp -R to copy directories recursively | 01:22 |
| beli | l0newolf: your kernel/initrd/fstab seems to be inconsistent | 01:23 |
| l0newolf | beli: same steps? I don't remember them all >_< | 01:23 |
| Cluber | Ah ok | 01:23 |
| jrib | fuji: ok. You need to add "luna" to the end of the "127.0.1.1 luna.aniza" in your current /etc/hosts. To do this, reboot and select "Recovery Mode" from the grub menu, then "root shell". You may use 'nano /etc/hostname' to edit the file. ctrl-o to save, ctrl-x to exit. Then reboot | 01:23 |
| OddlotX4 | Skry^: Radeon 2600XT, PCI-e. | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | king or after partioning the disks you MIGHT need to 'reboot' to make the changes get seen. | 01:23 |
| King | dr_willis: i wouldn't put it past me | 01:23 |
| cliechti | Cluber: learn about "cp -r". for python libraries, better look for a setup.py and run "python setup.py install" or use PYTHONPATH envirionment variable | 01:23 |
| King | dr_willis: i want to install two distros of linux and have them boot of external hd | 01:23 |

| mneptok | Out_Cold: but ... i wouldn't. | 01:33 |
| Out_Cold | which one.. | 01:33 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: and it needs a kernel option added to /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:33 |

| OddlotX4 | Alright, one last simple question. How do I change the default video player to vlc? | 01:33 |
| jrib | Vienna-Away: drivers for? | 01:34 |
| jrib | !defaultapp | OddlotX4 | 01:34 |
| ubottu | OddlotX4: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" | 01:34 |
| booksbuggy | yes pidgin got my account name correct this time | 01:34 |
| Out_Cold | so what's the addy i add to add the repo? | 01:34 |

| Vienna-Away | Drivers such as Sound, video etc. | 01:34 |
| jrib | Out_Cold: you aren't listening :/ What packages do you want exactly? | 01:34 |
| jrib | Vienna-Away: linux comes with all that | 01:34 |

| Ashex | lievenmoors, I assumed that dpkg did that when it ran update-initramfs. According to an article I read on bootchart, it includes a script called bootchart that is dropped in /usr/bin that generates the png | 01:37 |
| Skry^ | OddlotX4, but hey, if you see updates to ati when upgrading, try changing x11 back to xv as it is accelerated and x11 is not. | 01:37 |
| booksbuggy | just a random question | 01:37 |
| bradleyd | hey guys ... earlier today i ran fsck which finished properly .. since then when i try to boot i get an error message stating that the file system is read only... any ideas? | 01:37 |
| booksbuggy | can ubuntu itself without firewall block "ping flood"? | 01:37 |
| steven_ | yo | 01:37 |
| mneptok | booksbuggy: there's no way to truly block a ping flood. | 01:37 |
| Ashex | er, this is weird | 01:37 |
| booksbuggy | well i did with mcafee and windows | 01:38 |
| Ashex | /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/bootchart calls busybox | 01:38 |
| booksbuggy | before somehow | 01:38 |
| mneptok | booksbuggy: no, you just think you did. ;) | 01:38 |
| flakrat_ | with Intrepid, are there any special settings for laptops to get suspend to work? | 01:38 |
| booksbuggy | well i did | 01:38 |
| booksbuggy | since the whole network was flooded at my house | 01:38 |
| flakrat_ | laptops with nvidia cards | 01:38 |
| booksbuggy | and my computer was just slowing down | 01:38 |
| booksbuggy | and it only had 256 ram | 01:38 |
| mneptok | booksbuggy: you can choose to drop the packets and not respond to them, but that doesn;t mean the packets aren't flowing over your connection. | 01:38 |
| booksbuggy | without crashing | 01:38 |
| booksbuggy | well i don't know | 01:39 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: there is no script like that installed with this package, but it works | 01:39 |
| mneptok | booksbuggy: IOW, just because you stick your fingers in your ears doesn't mean the room really goes quiet. ;) | 01:39 |
| booksbuggy | just trying to replicate the same thing on ubuntu | 01:39 |
| bradleyd | does anyone know anything about read only errors when booting? | 01:39 |
| Out_Cold | bastid_raZor, the repo addy? | 01:39 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: with java | 01:39 |
| Omar87 | I have a problem in burning cd's, the burning process keeps failing, it keeps giving an error message telling me that the failure was probably due to overburning the cd. Please help. | 01:40 |
| bastid_raZor | Out_Cold; i don't know, i still use 8.04 | 01:40 |
| booksbuggy | well i am crazy because i block everything else that i don't normally use in windows | 01:40 |
| Ashex | lievenmoors, shouldn't the package setup the kernel entry along with init script? | 01:40 |
| booksbuggy | so i am trying to replicate the same thing | 01:40 |
| Out_Cold | anyone on intrepid?? | 01:40 |
| booksbuggy | so the computer might slow down but doesn't crash | 01:40 |
| mneptok | Out_Cold: you do not add the repo. you get the packages off Launchpad. and you should NOT do that. | 01:40 |
| Out_Cold | yea i know i 'shouldn't' but it's my compy... and it's only gonna cause me grief.. | 01:41 |
| bradleyd | does anyone know how i can install the new ubuntu from a disc without wiping the files/progs already on my system? | 01:41 |

| booksbuggy | mneptok: I read everything | 01:41 |
| thomasite | Hello. How can I create 'guest' user accounts for my laptop? Thanks! | 01:41 |
| mneptok | booksbuggy: i think what you should really do is try to figure out who is pingflodding your home network. you have a rogue device somewhere. | 01:41 |
| Skry^ | Omar87, so, did you try to overburn? :) | 01:41 |
| Ashex | there's no man for bootchart either :( | 01:41 |
| booksbuggy | mneptok: well that was before i reinstall the system | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | thomasite, i just took the lazy way and did 'sudo adduser guest' - thats just an user account with the guest name. :) nothing real special about it. | 01:41 |
| booksbuggy | well it was about 2 years old anywyas | 01:42 |
| booksbuggy | anways | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | thomasite, there is a guest session feature also.. but i never use that. | 01:42 |
| Vienna-Away | I want to get Linux Mint but it says I have to pay =( | 01:42 |
| Omar87 | Skry^: Huh? | 01:42 |
| thomasite | Okay. Thanks a lot, doctor. :) | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | Vienna-Away, you are proberly looking at the wrong place. its free last i looked.. but i wouldent bother with it, | 01:42 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: well I checked now, and I don't see a kernel option | 01:42 |
| booksbuggy | anyone know how to get x chat to work? | 01:42 |
| Vienna-Away | why not dr_willis? | 01:42 |
| bastid_raZor | Vienna-Away; all Mint is .. is a modified version of Ubuntu. a new theme and icon set. nothing more | 01:42 |
| booksbuggy | or just what port does it use? | 01:42 |
| Vienna-Away | Oh. | 01:42 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: do you have a /var/log/bootchart dir? | 01:42 |
| Chrisie | booksbuggy: have a look at Firestarter in the repos; it has options for ICMP filtering | 01:43 |
| bradleyd | hey guys ... earlier today i ran fsck which finished properly .. since then when i try to boot i get an error message stating that the file system is read only... any ideas? | 01:43 |
| Eviltechie | Does anyone know how to get xrdp working? | 01:43 |
| LF|Irssi_ | you dont have to open ports to use xchat | 01:43 |
| booksbuggy | well i use guarddog | 01:43 |
| mynous | having to hard drives one setup as /dev/sda with / and /boot on it and the other /dev/sdb with /home; would there be a performance boost by using /home/ftp on /sdb as opposed to /ftp on /sda? | 01:43 |
| Vienna-Away | is it possible that Ubuntu would let us download other applications? :o | 01:43 |
| Ashex | lievenmoors, yeah, but there's nothing in it | 01:43 |
| bastid_raZor | Vienna-Away; allthe applications it uses are the same as regular Ubuntu.. | 01:43 |
| dr_willis | Vienna-Away, #1 reason. You wont get any support for it in here.. #2. its not got features really worth bothering with.. #3 - theres nothing it does that you cant do with normal ubuntu. | 01:43 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: ok | 01:43 |
| booksbuggy | actually i use both because i am a security freak | 01:43 |
| booksbuggy | guarddog and firestarter | 01:43 |
| dr_willis | Vienna-Away, and it is free http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php | 01:43 |
| Ashex | I've done two boots since installing it so there should be something in it | 01:43 |
| Vienna-Away | Damn you Guys are amazing! | 01:44 |
| booksbuggy | actually make pretty good combos when configured correctly | 01:44 |
| Vienna-Away | You guys are doing a great job handling all these question. ;o | 01:44 |

| booksbuggy | learned that today | 01:44 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: you didn't switch kernels? | 01:44 |
| Vienna-Away | dr_willis, the thing is I cant Download it, I was wondering if i could get a cd | 01:44 |
| Skry^ | Omar87, ok, i guess you're using brasero? | 01:44 |
| dr_willis | Vienna-Away, that url has a link to direct download it.. | 01:45 |
| Ashex | lievenmoors, nope | 01:45 |
| bastid_raZor | Vienna-Away; download it then burn to cd | 01:45 |
| dr_willis | Vienna-Away, #4 reason then.. :) you can get ShipIT cd's of Ubuntu | 01:45 |

| bastid_raZor | Skry^; k3b gives you a log after a burn; success or fail | 01:48 |
| Skry^ | pretty detailed huh | 01:49 |
| zhobbs | is there a such thing as an apt-get queue? I need to clear it | 01:49 |

| ZeroDamage | Hi All. I am having this problem with Nvidia Restricted drivers. They worked fine until I install my Hauppage 1600. Now the dirvers will not install. Tried both the 177 and the 173's. Any ideas? | 02:06 |
| Dominik | currently I have 480 megs of ram (full to the rim) and 512 megs of swap, pretty full too | 02:06 |
| ZeroDamage | Dominik, your system only has 480 Megs installed? | 02:07 |
| Ashex | hmmm | 02:07 |
| Ashex | lievenmoors, so, for some reason it's not calling /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/bootchart | 02:07 |
| scientes | all my windows are always laccking decorations, i switched to metacity and back im im still getting the prob | 02:07 |
| mid3vil | I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu. Installer goes blank upon loading Ubiquity. I have tried by taking out quite from the options and adding nospash noapic irqpoll noirqdebug, have also tried vga=773 and xforcevesa. Any help? | 02:07 |
| Dominik | zeroDamage: yes, can Ubuntu not deal with low mem systems? | 02:07 |
| Rugxulo | XUbuntu is less demanding, I think | 02:07 |
| maddog39 | hey guys, im having some real frustrating issues with Wolfenstein ET only running in the lower lefthand corner of the screen as shown here: http://www.dximages.uni.cc/files/1/screenshots/IMG00027.jpg | 02:08 |
| ZeroDamage | Dominik, that is not enough RAM really for decent performance. You will want to use Xubuntu probably. | 02:08 |
| ZeroDamage | It will run but not like it should | 02:08 |
| Ashex | lievenmoors, do you have a /bin/busybox? | 02:09 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: what is it? | 02:09 |
| Dominik | zeroDamage: why is ubuntu so resource intensife? how much ram is necessary? also, it works fine when it was just booted, problems manifest themselfs when I come back to the laptop after it has been sleeping for a while | 02:09 |
| Ashex | lievenmoors, it's a command | 02:09 |
| Ashex | I'm trying to narrow down what could be causing the issue | 02:09 |
| Soulman310 | ubutu's confusing, i'm going back to mac | 02:10 |
| Ashex | I don't have /bin/busybox and the script calls it | 02:10 |
| Vienna | Will i be able to sync and add applications to my ipod touch without itunes being on ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| Ashex | you can just type /bin/busy and hit tab to see if it completes it | 02:10 |
| lievenmoors | i can install it if i know what it is. i don't have it | 02:10 |
| mid3vil | Anyone have an idea? | 02:10 |

| tanc | hi folks, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what I consider to be quite a common use-case scenario with permissions: | 02:11 |
| Sylphid | how can i get my XF86AudioRaiseVolume to raise the volume of the channel selected in mixer_applet2 instead of master | 02:12 |
| tanc | we have a web server with various clients (unix users) on it | 02:12 |
| Vienna | Will i be able to sync my ipod touch without itunes being on ubuntu? | 02:12 |
| tanc | we want a single unix user to have permissions to edit any clients files | 02:12 |
| ZeroDamage | Dominik, disable some stuff. go to the session applet in the System menu and disable the tracker and blue tooth stuff | 02:12 |
| sar4j | tell amarock to Vienna | 02:12 |

| Skry^ | it's amarok | 02:13 |
| tanc | so we've set that user to be part of the client's groups | 02:13 |
| sar4j | !amarok | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok | 02:13 |
| ZeroDamage | Dominik, and also remove Evolution using the Synaptic package manager. Just pay attention to what else it is removing. A couple pieces you want to leave as they are integrated into the desktop | 02:13 |

| sar4j | thanks Skry | 02:13 |

| Ashex | So, only thing I can think of | 02:14 |
| jrib | BeeBuu: what ubuntu version? | 02:14 |
| firecrotch | hello can anyone tell me how i can make ibex run faster? when i am printing for example, the mouse skips in the screen | 02:14 |
| BeeBuu | jrib: 8.04 | 02:14 |
| Ashex | is there's a bug with bootchart where it will only update the initrd image of the standard kernel | 02:14 |
| Ashex | and not server kernels | 02:14 |
| Skry^ | shiki9, i only play d2 and doom3 on pc, but check out wine and cedega wich bot allow you to play (some) windows games on linux | 02:14 |
| jrib | BeeBuu: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy libmysqlclient15off | 02:15 |
| Omar87 | booksbuggy: however, it's too bad that OpenOffice.Org is still not as tough as MS Office is.. -_- | 02:15 |
| shiki9 | Skry^:i tried wine but the game just started and froze | 02:15 |
| booksbuggy | Omar87: well it is a bit harder to configure than ms office | 02:15 |
| Skry^ | Omar87, ok so it didnt work for you. It seems that there's something evil going on with wodim (which brasero and k3b are gui for) so you could try and compile cdrtools yourself. | 02:15 |
| booksbuggy | but it is free | 02:15 |
| shiki9 | the game is dead space | 02:15 |
| BeeBuu | apt-cache policy libmysqlclient15off show nothing too | 02:16 |
| ZeroDamage | Anyone familiar with the Hauppage 1600 PVR card giving issues with Nvidia drivers? | 02:16 |
| LukeJM | weird | 02:16 |
| jrib | BeeBuu: for me to help you, you have to do what I said | 02:16 |
| Omar87 | Skry^: how do I do that? | 02:16 |
| lievenmoors | ashex: maybe you could try to do the steps manually, if you know how it is done | 02:16 |
| BeeBuu | jrib: i had. | 02:16 |
| jrib | BeeBuu: link? | 02:16 |
| Skry^ | shiki9, yeah, most of the games do not work. you could google if someone has got it working somehow. there's online database of what works and what doesnt at wine site. | 02:17 |
| Skry^ | Omar87, wait a sec there's guide somewhere in forums.. | 02:17 |
| kc8pxy | if i wanted to make a bridge br0, and add eth0 and tap0 to it, and make it work how do i make that work in ubuntu?(the commands for that setup on another distro don't have a working result. | 02:17 |
| shiki9 | a well i guess i'll just continue to play them in vista and miss the gnome desktop :( | 02:18 |
| Omar87 | booksbuggy: yeah, and it also lacks some other features, like some special characters.. etc. | 02:18 |
| ZeroDamage | Anyone familiar with the Hauppage 1600 PVR card giving issues with Nvidia drivers? | 02:18 |
| booksbuggy | Omar87: it does have special characters though | 02:18 |
| sar4j | shiki9: may be u can give virtualbox a try | 02:18 |
| booksbuggy | i recently found some | 02:18 |
| Ashex | lievenmoors, I'm going to try rebooting and use my backup kernel, which uses the standard generic kernel | 02:18 |

| pawan | unable to enable it | 02:22 |
| tanc | ok, problem if anyone can help: permissions for group access on a web server: server contains many (unix) users. We want a single (lets call him webadmin) user to be able to access all other user's files. To do this we add our webadmin user to the other user's groups. Then all user's files that we want editable by webadmin need to have 775 permissions set. This is fine most of the time but problems occur with sftp and untarring files | 02:22 |

| Rugxulo | firecrotch, what version are you running? (okay, sounds dumb, but ...) | 02:23 |
| BeeBuu | jrib: maybe you can get a good one to me? | 02:24 |
| arrrghhh | i can't get my nvidia 8600gt to do separate X screens... i used to have this working in feisty -> hardy | 02:24 |
| jrib | brantly_medders: you can search for the option that makes X use xorg.conf for input devices (search for "hal" in 'man xorg.conf). Or you can migrate your settings over to fdi files. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config | 02:24 |
| jrib | BeeBuu: can you just pastebin yours? | 02:24 |
| arrrghhh | nvidia-settings doesn't configure the separate X screens correctly. plus it's not detecting the max res on my default monitor correctly. | 02:24 |

| Skry^ | firecrotch, disable everything running in background you dont need and/or buy more mem :P | 02:27 |
| arrrghhh | firecrotch, you should also look at your resource usage when this is occurring. i think it's just system monitor in gnome. kde just hit ctrl-ecs | 02:27 |

| insta | Rugxulo: yes, I have a 4-core machine running 50 processes, each of which should be taking up to 100% of a core | 02:29 |
| Rugxulo | don't use Firefox then, use Opera (or w3m or dillo or lynx or elinks or ...) | 02:29 |
| hikenboot_ | however running the same vm under a windows xp installed on the same box inside workstation 6.5 worked find. | 02:29 |
| insta | in top, i would expect to see nice hovering at 100% per core | 02:30 |
| Grey_Loki | Guest75682, well there's your problem ;) I'd recommend switching over to Xubuntu, running Swiftfox instead of Firefox, with adblock plus and noscript | 02:30 |
| Sajuta | insta: I'm pretty sure niced programs are supposed to yield processor to others | 02:30 |
| Rugxulo | and don't use OpenOffice, use Abiword, Ted, Emacs, VIM, etc. | 02:30 |

| Grey_Loki | For text editing, iono - my system is beefy enough to handle OO.o, so I use it | 02:30 |

| satanas | Grey_Loki sorry they changed my name... but i love gnome! | 02:30 |

| insta | Sajuta: yield, yes. but the machine isn't doing anything but crunching these numbers for me. i want it to use 100% of the available CPU resources and yield only when it needs to | 02:31 |

| Grey_Loki | I think | 02:31 |

| arrrghhh | gigel2007, get the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. vlc is a good player. | 02:34 |
| jrib | !dvd > gigel2007 | 02:34 |
| ubottu | gigel2007, please see my private message | 02:34 |
| jrib | gigel2007: you don't need vlc, but it's available in the repositories | 02:34 |
| jrib | !mp3 > gigel2007 | 02:34 |
| Grey_Loki | geeksquad, it's written quite well (by a non-English speaker, so a few words are spelled strangely, but the commands are correct). I've never gone all the way through it -just used it as a reference now and then. IME, it's pretty comprehensive and fairly easy to understand, even without a huge background in *nix | 02:34 |
| geeksquad | gigel get ubuntu resricted extras that should solve your problem plus it will give you avi java flash etc | 02:34 |
| booksbuggy | hello? | 02:34 |
| Skry^ | satanas, ok, just a suggestion. then you have to cope with slowness. try to find lighter alternatives to software you currently use if you cant get more ram. | 02:34 |
| geeksquad | ok | 02:34 |
| geeksquad | thx | 02:34 |
| gigel2007 | <jrib> so I just type sudo apt-get install vlc ? | 02:34 |
| Rugxulo | java? that should be "free" by now (IcedTea) | 02:34 |
| [BreliC] | man, i am getting frustrated | 02:35 |
| jrib | gigel2007: sure | 02:35 |
| geeksquad | it is free | 02:35 |
| Rugxulo | satanas, there are tons of other distros that have lighter requirements | 02:35 |
| satanas | Skry^ thanks, but other than changing my DE and apps theres no other solution? | 02:35 |
| [BreliC] | i think the iso i downloaded is corrupt | 02:35 |
| === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ | ||
| satanas | Rugxulo thanks but i want to stay with ubuntu | 02:35 |
| Rugxulo | then start your compiler and get recompiling ... | 02:35 |
| [BreliC] | i thought it was the cd, but two CDs, and two different machines later with the same fail error leads me to believe it's the ISO itself | 02:36 |
| arrrghhh | satanas, spend some money and upgrade to more than 256mb. that's a puny amount of ram. | 02:36 |
| Skry^ | satanas, not with that amount of memory. you could also try to disable services you dont need. | 02:36 |
| booksbuggy | anyone know why my x chat is not connecting to this channel and pidgin gets in immediately? | 02:36 |

| Symmetria | dammit | 02:36 |
| Rugxulo | Brelic, did you compare the md5sum of it? | 02:36 |
| Symmetria | any recommendations on a good mp3 player with decent play listing etc | 02:36 |
| booksbuggy | don't know about that function | 02:37 |
| booksbuggy | where is that? | 02:37 |
| [BreliC] | ok, now i boot up and get the shell prompt... now what? I want to install the packages (i.e. the full ubuntu desktop install) from CDRom - can I do it?? | 02:37 |
| jrib | jamesish: use bugs.ubuntu.com to file a security bug. Or is there some other issue? | 02:37 |

| satanas | Grey_Loki why were you highlighted when you said bookbuggy even if I didnt change my nick? | 02:37 |
| jamesish | jrib: no, it's a security issue. Buggers appear to have totalled my groups. | 02:37 |
| jrib | gbear14275: depends on what you need to repair I guess | 02:37 |
| [BreliC] | Rugxulo: yes, and it checked out?!?! | 02:37 |
| satanas | danbhfive MID ubuntu - havent heard of it | 02:37 |
| jrib | jamesish: so why don't you file a bug? | 02:38 |
| jcmages | someone have a viewsonic wide screen in ubuntu 8.04 | 02:38 |
| Rugxulo | Brelic, but what was the problem then? didn't burn correctly? | 02:38 |
| booksbuggy | Grey_Loki: because when i log in some other channel i get in immediately | 02:38 |

| [BreliC] | i mounted the CD, used apt-cdrom to insert it into apt sources, and not sure how to get the full desktop installed | 02:38 |

| booksbuggy | i don't know | 02:38 |
| satanas | Grey_Loki your name was hilighted in irssi even when you didnt type my name | 02:38 |

| gbear14275 | installed kde, booted to a kde session and ran update, kde I think pulled all of its packages, and would just like to figure out how to remove it all with a semi clean ubuntu install | 02:39 |
| booksbuggy | Grey_Loki: even i don't log in with pidgin it still doesn't connect | 02:39 |
| satanas | danbhfive so you are saying is i should install ubuntu mobile on my desktop? | 02:39 |
| arrrghhh | satanas, why wouldn't you just upgrade your ram? | 02:39 |
| Grey_Loki | satanas, oh. Well, it wasn't intentional :P | 02:39 |
| [BreliC] | WebcamWonder: yes, but it doesn't seem to work... as that package is not on the CDrom, and as it stands, without desktop ubuntu, it won't recognize my network card | 02:39 |
| WebcamWonder | [BreliC], Not even the wired NIC? | 02:40 |
| danbhfive | satanas: I don't know yet, I personally installed xubuntu on a 256mb ram desktop, and it seems to work. But, I just found out about MID. It might be even better, but I've yet to try it | 02:40 |
| satanas | arrrghhh $$$$$$$ and the fact that i dual boot and windows is faster | 02:40 |
| booksbuggy | Grey_Loki: it maybe the password | 02:40 |
| gigel2007 | !exe | 02:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about exe | 02:40 |
| booksbuggy | but i don't see a option here for doing it | 02:40 |
| Rugxulo | satanas, which Windows? | 02:40 |
| tu | how do i check which process accesses a disk? | 02:40 |
| booksbuggy | Grey_Loki: in the x chat | 02:40 |
| Rugxulo | sure, some are fast but "less capable" | 02:40 |
| [BreliC] | WebcamWonder: yes, it will recognize wired nic, but since I already have the CD here, I'd rather do it that way than download all the packages again | 02:40 |
| WebcamWonder | tu, lsof | 02:40 |
| [BreliC] | WebcamWonder: not the fastest connection here | 02:40 |
| tu | thx | 02:40 |
| arrrghhh | satanas, it's $20 for 1 gig stick and if windows is faster then... use windows. | 02:41 |
| satanas | Rugxulo xp sp2 on the same machine - i run office 07, firefox, word, excel at the same time | 02:41 |
| gigel2007 | !exe >gigel2007 | 02:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about exe | 02:41 |
| Rugxulo | satanas, then it's swapping like mad, most likely | 02:41 |
| jcmages | someone have a viewsonic wide screen in ubuntu 8.04 | 02:41 |
| gigel2007 | !exe > gigel2007 | 02:41 |
| Skry^ | satanas, there's loads of distros out there for lowend configurations, it's just that they dont usually include gnome | 02:41 |
| danbhfive | satanas: but I would agree with the others, it would only be around $20 to upgrade your ram, and for Ubuntu at its current state, its well worth it to get to 512 mb ram | 02:41 |
| arrrghhh | satanas, there are ways to use linux on lesser hardware, but 8.10 is a very new operating system and 256mb of ram is a very old standard... the min i believe for ubuntu. 384 i think is *recommended* | 02:41 |
| Rugxulo | I've seen XP on a 256 MB machine, and it was anything but fast | 02:41 |
| WebcamWonder | [BreliC], http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-512978.html <= sounds like your problem | 02:42 |

| gbear14275 | alright.... | 02:43 |
| Skry^ | satanas, again, get lighter software, disable services you dont need. that's about it. | 02:43 |
| arrrghhh | satanas, 256mb is the bare minimum for running ubuntu. could you image vista on 256mb? it won't even allow you to install vista with that little ram. | 02:43 |

| gbear14275 | lol, this is going to be fun | 02:49 |
| rhsanborn | I've upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 twice, and each time when I come back from the restart, X is screwed up. It's out of range for my monitor. | 02:49 |
| arrrghhh | gbear14275, if you installed kubuntu-desktop with aptitude it'd be cake. | 02:49 |
| jrib | ross__: progress is being made on the library hash for 2.0 but it's not broken yet | 02:49 |
| rhsanborn | Starting in recovery mode and doing the x repair doesn't fix it. | 02:50 |
| ross__ | jrib, how does one determine if one is running 2.0 firmware or the older one? (granted that this is a new canadian ipod) | 02:50 |

| jrib | ross__: general settings -> general -> about -> version | 02:50 |
| gbear14275 | but yeah, was hoping to wipe the OS completely I partitioned out my home directory for this case | 02:51 |
| rhsanborn | arrrghhh, this is a relatively new ATI card | 02:51 |
| arrrghhh | gbear14275, if you do those commands it'll completely remove kde. but if you want to reinstall ubuntu download an iso and do it. | 02:51 |

| Rugxulo | ross, satanas ... iPod and nVidia aren't GPL friendly, so blame them (sad but true) :-( | 02:51 |
| arrrghhh | you should be able to at least run X then. | 02:51 |
| rhsanborn | arrrghhh, no. I'll try that | 02:51 |
| jrib | ross__: oh. Yeah, find a windows computer or os x | 02:51 |

| nintendork87 | Skry^: idk what they do | 02:58 |
| nintendork87 | i guess | 02:58 |
| jrib | nintendork87: well screen one way to do what you want. And it's probably the best way because you can reattach it later. The other way to do it is to run 'nohup COMMAND' and then just close your terminal. Or you can disown the job. So: command disown & disown | 02:58 |

| rhsanborn | There isn't any way to undo the dist upgrade, is there? | 02:59 |
| WebcamWonder | Skry^, If the application is doing its entire processing in one thread, a single thread can only be executed on one of the cores, hence the 50% comes from 1 core maxing out | 02:59 |
| jrib | nintendork87: sorry, I messed up the syntax on the disown. It's just: command & disown | 02:59 |

| Frijolie | LF|Irssi_ : I'd like to blame it on Pulse's implementation in Ubuntu but I'm not sure where the root of the problem is | 03:13 |

| nintendork87 | jrib: yes | 03:13 |

I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and "/etc/inittab" is missing, and it looks like Ubuntu doesn't use an inittab file. How do you control init and your default runlevel? | 03:24 |
| Commie_Cary | Skry^, dont you mean GUI | 03:24 |
| tensei | skry^, ah, i'm use to GUI, thanks.. | 03:24 |
| insta | my buddy thinks it might be a kernel bug :o | 03:24 |
| jrib | !upstart | Sparcler | 03:25 |
| ubottu | Sparcler: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 03:25 |
| temp0070 | n8thanks n8tuser | 03:25 |
| Skry^ | Commie_Cary, okokok | 03:25 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, ok while your rules may have worked in the past they are somewhat backwards | 03:25 |
| lirel | !udev | 03:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about udev | 03:25 |
| Spirits-Sight | jrib: this would allow the contraling of a system | 03:25 |
| WebcamWonder | jrib, Intrepid no longer has init? | 03:25 |
| jrib | Spirits-Sight: yes | 03:25 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, generally you want to allow all outbound traffic and limit inbound | 03:25 |
| jrib | WebcamWonder: what do you mean by "init" exactly? | 03:25 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, u know, it actually is working without any changes now.. i'm thoroughly confused because i spent all night yesterday and it didn't work | 03:25 |
| FloridaGuy | does unbuntu use nluug.nl or surfnet.nl from the neverlands for mirrors | 03:25 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, your rules have the reverse | 03:25 |
| phu | hi | 03:26 |
| Samus_Aran | does anyone know why Ubuntu 8.04 is unavailable for download ? all I can find is 8.04.1, which doesn't help, it has graphics card bugs | 03:26 |
| n8tuser | lirel-> http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html | 03:26 |
| alec | can anyone tell me if there is a program that will do the same as disk warrior for ubuntu, i have a skrewed up flash drive | 03:26 |
| tensei | skry^, I'm still getting use to ubuntu.. does it have defaults like windows, or do you just open which application you want to use? | 03:26 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: now that i have interfaces setup for eth1 how do i get it to get the IP? | 03:26 |
| WebcamWonder | jrib, Nvm. I am mixing the working of different applications | 03:26 |
| Bigblackbunny | jrib : Nope, still can't detect my network. | 03:26 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, actually i have a fuller script | 03:26 |
| jrib | Samus_Aran: the 8.04 CDs have a serious security issue | 03:26 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, lemme pastebin that | 03:26 |
| Skry^ | tensei, it has defaults, which you can change if you want. | 03:26 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> you can assign the static ip address, man interfaces to see how to set one | 03:26 |
| jrib | Bigblackbunny: don't know then | 03:26 |
| tensei | skry^, How? | 03:26 |
| SeaPhor | Bigblackbunny, is this a laptop? | 03:27 |
| Sparcler | Thanks, I guess I'm used to doing things differently. | 03:27 |
| Spirits-Sight | how do I connect to the other system, the other system is using VNC | 03:27 |
| Bigblackbunny | jrib : Yes, this is a duel core intel laptop | 03:27 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: i have. so /etc/network/interfaces is fine now... ifconfig shows eth1 but no IP.... how to i get it to read interfaces? eth0 has a dhcp from isp | 03:27 |
| jrib | Samus_Aran: what's the link to the bug you are referring to? | 03:27 |
| Samus_Aran | jrib: well blah. 8.04.1 and 8.10 have a seriously broken Intel driver | 03:27 |

| === cakey is now known as __cakey | ||
| lirel | n8tuser: did they remove udevmonitor? | 03:27 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> is the eth1 connected to the same router? | 03:27 |
| Skry^ | tensei, in nautilus right click file and open with.. | 03:27 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: how does interfaces play w/ networkmanager | 03:27 |
| temp0070 | ? | 03:27 |
| n8tuser | lirel-> i have no idea | 03:27 |
| lekremyelsew | i got a new mouse, and it has 3rd button on the side, can i make it do anything, cuz it does nothing right now | 03:27 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: no.. eth0 direct to isp eth1 to router inside the biz | 03:28 |
| SeaPhor | Bigblackbunny, I know you prolly have, but can you make sure its turned "on" by default at boot, my laptop is not... | 03:28 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> can you please read the man pages, you seem to ignore what i suggested | 03:28 |
| jrib | lekremyelsew: you can use imwheel or xbindkeys (you'll have to google some documentation or read their man pages) | 03:28 |
| Spirits-Sight | jrib: how do I conect to the other system that is using VNC on it | 03:28 |
| WebcamWonder | !vnc | 03:28 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:28 |
| tensei | skry^, does that set it as a default, IE, i play MP3's and it uses totem as the default.. is that good for MP3's? | 03:28 |
| lekremyelsew | jrib, thx | 03:28 |
| jrib | Spirits-Sight: I hear a lot of stuff about vinagre, never used it | 03:29 |
| Skry^ | tensei, or if you want to change it permanently right click -> properties -> open with | 03:29 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> are you also using your box as a router? | 03:29 |
| Bigblackbunny | jrib : Make sure what is turned on? If you mean the wireless network conection program, yes, it is. It connected imidiatly to my neighbor's wireless when I turned the laptop on | 03:29 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: yes its the firewall | 03:29 |
| peepsalot | how do I make it so that firefox will stop highlighting every occurence of a google search keyword on a page? | 03:29 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, http://pastebin.com/m30c2a8df | 03:29 |
| Skry^ | tensei, sorry, i lag :P you can play mp3s with totem but i personally would recommend exaile or amarok for that purpose. | 03:30 |
| jrib | Bigblackbunny: that was SeaPhor | 03:30 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> okay, so you can set a static ip address to your eth1, once more, please man interfaces | 03:30 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, .....doh... overlooked u were missing a rule ... $IPT -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT | 03:30 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: it also runs bind.. the idea is to serve the internal dns from my box and have it relay to the isp as needed | 03:30 |
| Bigblackbunny | jrib : What is SeaPhor? | 03:30 |
| SeaPhor | Bigblackbunny, no, the card itself, there is a button or a switch, or a function key to toggle it on/off | 03:30 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, crap had that backwards | 03:30 |
| jrib | Bigblackbunny: he's a user of this channel trying to help you :) | 03:30 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, $IPT -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT | 03:31 |
| JasonWoof | I've booted the intrepid beta install CD, but the installer (and parted and fdisk) can't read the partition table of my disk. It's a mac partition table. | 03:31 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: got it :) | 03:31 |
| JasonWoof | I know the disk is valid enough, because the main partition is auto-mounted on the desktop | 03:31 |
| Bigblackbunny | SeaPhor: Ah, that is always turned on | 03:31 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: did you read the release notes? Make sure nothing is mounted | 03:31 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, umm.. the weird thing is its wrking now.. but didn't work yesterday after update.. think thats the rule? | 03:31 |
| carpeliam | !alsa | 03:31 |
| 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).

| temp0070 | thakns.. n8tuser the /etc/resolve.conf is getting its dns and domain from teh eth0 external nic... networkmanager is picking that up. how do I get it to use only 127.0.0.1 and my internal domain? | 03:32 |
| ttseug | ls | 03:32 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> great, man pages is our friend | 03:32 |
| SeaPhor | Bigblackbunny, what if you turn it off at the switch, does nm reflect the change? | 03:32 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, the rules that you pastebin'ed pass traffic from local out but dont pass external in | 03:32 |

| ttseug | How do I mount a device which I do not know the name or location of (Ubuntu Hardy)? | 03:33 |
| Bigblackbunny | SeaPhor : All it does is turnes off the wireless card. | 03:33 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> if you do that, then your box will not be able to resolve the outside ip addresses | 03:33 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, yea, i see whatyou mean, but its strange that i didn't have to have that rule for all this time | 03:33 |
| trisinger | anyone know how i can copy a partition to another on the fly, i cant use dd because the 2nd partitions is about 30gb smaller. i want to do it in a partimage kind of way where only the used space is copied... i was trying to pipe an instance of "partimage save" into "partimage restore" but i didnt realize partimage had a gui that seems manditory. any suggestions? i have 4 local ubuntu repositories (hardy/intrepid,i3 | 03:33 |
| trisinger | 86/x86_64) and i need them on another hd... about 99gb | 03:33 |
| memeemeee | ok so I am back to square one here. my computer refuses to contact the router. I'm running Kubuntu 8.04 my hardware LEDs are working, I have set static ip info in /etc/network/interfaces and I have now tried 2 different ethernet cards (in different slots) with the same results! please help me! people last time seemed to think it was a hardware problem but I'm sure there's something were missing here! | 03:33 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, thanks for your help | 03:33 |
| Skry^ | ttseug, what kind of a device? | 03:33 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, i'll reset the router wiring and see if that works | 03:33 |

| histo_ | memeemeee: what type of nics have you tried | 03:33 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, btw, do you know if atheros support is removed in ibex? My PCI wifi card doesn't show up anymore.. used to work fine on hardy | 03:34 |

| hubar | what plugins do you use for windows media player? I have totem/gecko media plugin/mplayer media plugin... | 03:34 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, my guess is that the nat rule is an automatic forward everything but the other rules limit it... so the rules that you have set allow all external connections in but only new connections out | 03:34 |
| JasonWoof | jrib ok, I unmounted everything | 03:34 |

| refriedbeans | Hi, how do you disable "tapping" on a mouse pad on Kubuntu? | 03:34 |
| Skry^ | ttseug, go to terminal, plug in the player, wait a sec, type dmesg and it should show you the device (/dev/something) then sudo mount /dev/something /mnt | 03:35 |
| Sylphid | Tmob, not that i know of... do you have ubuntu-restricted-modules installed | 03:35 |
| Bigblackbunny | SeaPhor : All it does is turnes off the wireless card. | 03:35 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: might be a different issue then. Restarting the installer fails as well right? | 03:35 |
| === DRNK-E is now known as DrunkY | ||
| ttseug | Skry^, Thanks, I'll try it. | 03:35 |
| histo | memeemeee: what type of network cards did you try? | 03:35 |
| memeemeee | I've tried cables. know it's not the cables. I've used MArvell Tech PCI-e and just purchased a Realtek Semiconductor gigabit | 03:35 |
| n8tuser | rogan-> ls -la ofthatdir lets see what you got | 03:35 |

| Bigblackbunny | SeaPhor : what is nm? | 03:35 |
| histo | memeemeee: well the real tek should definately work | 03:35 |
| Samus_Aran | jrib: there are numerous bug reports about it, so I'm not sure which is the main/official one. here's an example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/252094 | 03:35 |
| n8tuser | trisinger-> that seems way too low level, i dont know if any tools can | 03:36 |
| JasonWoof | can I convert the partitiontable from mac format to msdos format and save one of the partitions? | 03:36 |
| histo | memeemeee: perhaps you are setting a static ip outside of the routers range | 03:36 |
| memeemeee | histo, that's why I purchased it. is sky2 the driver? | 03:36 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, nop.. just installed it | 03:36 |
| rhsanborn | I may have been able to get X server to start, but no mouse now... | 03:36 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, thats probably the issue.. once again thanks! | 03:36 |
| SeaPhor | Bigblackbunny, nm = network manager, the applet by the clock that shows your network settings | 03:36 |
| histo | memeemeee: no it should be like rt something or other. | 03:36 |
| jrib | JasonWoof: check out bug 86509 maybe | 03:36 |
| Tmob | Sylphid, will have to go offline to test the new setup.. ttyl | 03:36 |
| trisinger | n8tuser, im on a server there is no real gui... i should be able to do anything | 03:36 |
| Bigblackbunny | SeaPhor : Ill try it. | 03:37 |
| KnomeDE | my res only goes up to 1024x768 when i use nv accelerated drivers | 03:37 |
| histo | memeemeee: try pcimodules | 03:37 |
| cognitiaclaeves | What is LTSP chroot used for? | 03:37 |
| trisinger | i would use dd but the partition is a little smaller | 03:37 |
| n8tuser | trisinger-> that seems way too low level, i dont know if any tools can..not even speaking of gui tool | 03:37 |
| rogan | n8tuser whats dir for trash | 03:37 |
| memeemeee | actually I've tried the same network/interfaces info on my laptop with no problems so it's not the ip. | 03:37 |
| histo | memeemeee: that will show you modules running for all pci hardware | 03:38 |
| Samus_Aran | jrib: what was the security issue in 8.04, and wouldn't it just be fixed by an apt-get upgrade ? | 03:38 |
| n8tuser | trisinger-> i dont think dd has options to skip and how would you know which to skip? | 03:38 |
| jrib | Samus_Aran: that bug just shows people claiming degraded performance in intrepid. In any case, you can just install 8.04 and try to downgrade to whatever package you feel 8.04 had that was better | 03:38 |
| ekow | I have the Realtek RTL8187b wireless card, which is supposed to work out of box with Ibex, I can connect to my wireless network but the internet still doesn't work, any help with this please? | 03:38 |
| memeemeee | ok. so the r8169 module is showing up but when I look at dmesg it shows sky2 errors relating to eth1 | 03:38 |
| JamesJr | Is anyone from the UK and willing to beta test (basically load) a website? | 03:38 |
| n8tuser | rogan ls -la direcotry | 03:38 |
| histo | memeemeee: no idea what sky2 is sry | 03:38 |
| jrib | Samus_Aran: 8.04.1 is 8.04 with upgrades, so if you claim 8.04.1 has the issue, the upgrade would give you the same issue | 03:38 |
| histo | maybe someone else would know | 03:38 |
| memeemeee | it's one of the modules. how do I make the proper module handle the appropriate card? | 03:39 |
| n8tuser | ekow-> paste in pastebin the results of your iwconfig ; cat /etc/resolv.conf and route -n please | 03:39 |
| Samus_Aran | jrib: this is on a new laptop I bought for my father. I have never tried 8.04 on this laptop, only got it yesterday and installed 8.10 on it. the Intel drivers that come with 8.10 are totally buggy | 03:39 |
| trisinger | n8tuser, partimage can do it but it has the extra step of copying to an image file THEN restoring from that. i dont have enough space for an image and it seems redundant. i just want to go from an external 250gb to an internal 160gb | 03:39 |
| histo | memeemeee: you can rmmod the module you don't want. | 03:39 |
| Samus_Aran | jrib: if compiz is on, then all other GL apps produce incorrect layering and tons of glitches. if compiz is off, then certain glitches remain | 03:39 |
| memeemeee | also histo-- the card is showing up eth1_rename should I rename it? if so-- how? | 03:39 |
| jrib | Samus_Aran: you claimed 8.04.1 had these bugs. Why not try 8.04.1? | 03:40 |
| Randall1 | so i have a problem with my x-server randomly restarting and i don't know why? | 03:40 |
| KnomeDE | my resolution only goes up to 1024x768 when i use nvidia accelerated drivers, any fix?\ | 03:40 |
| n8tuser | trisinger-> well, if partimage can, go for it..thats a dilemna for backing up stuff on same hd..and it is slow | 03:40 |
| Samus_Aran | jrib: I tried some of the suggested xorg.conf changes, and while they removed the glitching, they end up crashing Xorg and it won't reload until a reboot | 03:40 |
| memeemeee | here's hoping I don't need sky2 for anything else! | 03:40 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: so /etc/resolve.conf comes from the isp now via networkmanager automatically. my internal bind will hit a known dns server externally | 03:40 |
| * memeemeee crossing fingers | 03:40 | |
| ekow | n8tuser: ok one minute while i get it all | 03:40 |
| temp0070 | host do I get network manager to put my specific domain and nameserver in /etc/resolve.conf ? | 03:40 |
| Samus_Aran | jrib: I would rather than 8.10 working, as I've already spent many hours configuring things on this system, will be a pain to reinstall, only to find it's the same | 03:41 |
| * memeemeee rebooting -- pray with me histo | 03:41 | |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> you have to add manually | 03:41 |
| jrib | Samus_Aran: best to just ask for help with that directly then | 03:41 |
| Samus_Aran | KnomeDE: it probably isn't able to detect your monitor settings | 03:41 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> or with a script | 03:41 |
| Randall1 | so i have a problem with my x-server randomly restarting and i don't know why? this is on 8.10 | 03:41 |
| histo | memeemeee: rmmod will not remove it on next boot only immediately | 03:41 |
| temp0070 | n8tuser: I did add manually and it works.. but networkmanager keeps overwritting it.. is there a specific script to modifty? | 03:41 |
| histo | memeemeee: you would have to blacklist it to remove on boot | 03:41 |
| memeemeee | oh- good to know. I rebooted ;) so i should try rmmod and then restart networking? | 03:42 |
| n8tuser | temp0070-> then you just have to keep manually adding it, or you can use preload i think... again the 3rd time, man interfaces | 03:42 |

| jrib | Nikyo: you don't need one. clam is really just for mail servers with windows users | 03:45 |
| booksbuggy | hmmm didn't check that | 03:45 |
| jrib | Samus_Aran: laptops off right now | 03:45 |
| trisinger | is it possible to make a new stdout device? | 03:46 |
| histo | memeemeee: which device? | 03:46 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: what do you mean by that ? | 03:46 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: what happens when you go to the sound settings? | 03:46 |
| erth | Nikyo, despite FUD to the contrary, AV is totally unnecessary on Linux | 03:46 |
| n8tuser | trisinger-> what do you meant by that? | 03:46 |
| q0r3 | hey all. i'm trying to copy all of my files from a 500gb ext3 partition to a 700gb ntfs partition. i open up nautilus as root by "gksu nautilus", but when it's preparing to copy the files, i get the error message "Error stating file 'path/to/file': Stale NFS file handle". this only happens for the one file. any ideas? | 03:46 |
| booksbuggy | well when i click on test a weird horn sound starts running | 03:46 |
| bigmack83 | inmy Hardy install i updated everything, but in the update manager thereare a bunch of packages that are greyed out and for some reason unselectable to update them.why does it do this? | 03:46 |
| n8tuser | trisinger-> you can use dup2 in a c program | 03:46 |
| trisinger | so i can output an image file to that device and be assured that it will be free of stdout/stderr messages, then read "partimage restore" from that device | 03:46 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: 0> is standard input, 1> is standard output, 2> is standard error, 3> and above are outputs that you create yourself | 03:46 |
| KnomeDE | Samus_Aran: ok got it, it is incorrect in xorg.conf, i guess i should have checked it WHILE i had the accelerated driver enabled | 03:47 |
| Nikyo | jrib: I thought there were some worms that affected Linux, and not just on mail servers. If I am worng.. I am sorry about that.. | 03:47 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: so the sound preferences do work... | 03:47 |
| booksbuggy | it does | 03:47 |
| histo | memeemeee: network support should just be working right out of the box for the card you described. Your problem is lying elsewhere. Like settings etc... Try DHCP'ng from the router instead of static. | 03:47 |
| caveman26 | how do I set my drivers to automatically scale up my desktop when I run a lower resolution on my LCD. I use nvidia | 03:47 |
| jrib | !virus | Nikyo | 03:47 |
| ubottu | Nikyo: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 03:47 |
| booksbuggy | but from firefox it doesn't play anything | 03:47 |
| histo | memeemeee: then if that works then you can play with settings | 03:47 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: so what exactly doesn't work? | 03:47 |
| Randall1 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/68202/ can't figure out how to fix? | 03:47 |
| Nikyo | jrib: Thanks.. I'll read that. | 03:47 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: firefox is a web browser... where's it supposed to make noise? | 03:47 |
| booksbuggy | firefox won't play the sound of the videos i am watching | 03:47 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: what videos? | 03:48 |
| thiebaude | !opera | 03:48 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 03:48 |
| Samus_Aran | KnomeDE: autodetection of the monitor works most of the time, but sometimes it fails to read the EDID information, and then you need to specify the specs for it | 03:48 |
| histo | !botabuse > thiebaude | 03:48 |
| ubottu | thiebaude, please see my private message | 03:48 |
| booksbuggy | well browser ones | 03:48 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, how would i specify that as a devive though? | 03:48 |

| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: /msg me if it's NSFW | 03:48 |
| Samus_Aran | KnomeDE: also if your screen is turned off while Xorg is loading, it will fail to read EDID information | 03:48 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, partimage expects the image to be a location, i was going to point it to /dev/std*, can i just make up a number? | 03:49 |
| histo | booksbuggy: flash wmv avi etc... all can be browser based rm ogv | 03:49 |
| thiebaude | sorry i dont open PM's without permission | 03:49 |
| memeemeee | ok histo. so disabling sky2 made the new pcicard disappear. | 03:49 |

| ubottu | thiebaude: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 03:49 |
| memeemeee | I'm doing a little research on sky2 and what that is | 03:49 |
| djhash | is there a known DVD issue, in terms of DVD movies being played.. none of the three.. mplayer, totem, vlc can play the DVD.. i am aware of the retracting tray issue.. are there others | 03:49 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: there is probably a far safer way to do what you're trying to do. if you can explain your goal/objective, I might be able to offer a suggestion | 03:49 |
| jrib | djhash: did you install dvdcss? | 03:49 |
| n8tuser | ekow2-> you dhclient was not able to acquire an ip address, and therefore it was not able to modify your route table, sudo dhclient wlan0 | 03:49 |
| Nikyo | erth: Thanks for the comment about the AV. | 03:50 |
| histo | memeemeee: Sry I can't help you more right now i'm kind of distracted perhaps someone else can get you on the right track. | 03:50 |
| ybeddyj | how do i change the browser associated with xdg? | 03:50 |
| Sajuta | djhash: Are you getting some sort of error? Possibly about encryption? | 03:50 |
| arrrghhh | i can't get separate x screens to work with the new xorg | 03:50 |
| jimmio | My friend is running 8.04, and his USB controller is not detected at ALL. lsusb returns nothing at ALL.... | 03:50 |
| ybeddyj | !xdg | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xdg | 03:50 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, i need to copy 99gb of data from a 174gb partion to a 160 gb partition on the fly and still remove the unused blocks from the result | 03:50 |
| caveman26 | I did that, but every time I reboot, my screen is small again, I have to set it scaling up every time log in, how do I fix that and make it permanent. I like to run 1280x1024, my LCD is native at 1600x1200 but compiz is sluggish at that rez | 03:50 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: are you watching flash movies? embedded WMVs? there are many ways to watch videos in firefox, and they work very differently. If I don't know what software you're trying to run, I can't help | 03:50 |
| ybeddyj | how do i change the browser associated with xdg? | 03:50 |
| jimmio | !>Jimmio | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jimmio | 03:50 |
| booksbuggy | let me check | 03:50 |
| booksbuggy | i think the flash plugin | 03:51 |
| booksbuggy | adobe flash player one | 03:51 |
| core_ | hello can anyone tell me how do i start dialup connection on startup? | 03:51 |
| jrib | !defaultapp | ybeddyj | 03:51 |
| ubottu | ybeddyj: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" | 03:51 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, i have a partition with nothing on it but repositories, and i need to clone it essentially. i would use dd i suppose but the target is smaller | 03:51 |
| jrib | ybeddyj: or maybe system -> preferences -> preferred applications should do what you want | 03:51 |
| booksbuggy | jw flv player 3.21 | 03:51 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: ahh, now we are getting somewher. right-click the flash movie and go to settings. iirc there's a section on sound | 03:51 |
| RHorse | booksbuggy, go to adobe site and dl latest flash | 03:51 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: ahh, that'll do it. adobe's flash player is the only one that works most of the time | 03:52 |
| booksbuggy | well the only thing is that it is the latest version | 03:52 |
| jimmio | Any ideas? This is preventing him from doing just about everything... HP Pavillion 061... | 03:52 |
| Venin | is there a timer for each time you have to type a password when you use sudo? | 03:52 |
| Frijolie | anyone? | 03:52 |
| booksbuggy | and i can't see sound settings | 03:52 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: why are you trying to copy the partition raw, instead of mounting and copying the files (rsync, tar, cp, etc.) | 03:52 |
| booksbuggy | don't see | 03:52 |
| RHorse | booksbuggy, where did you dl it, and when? | 03:52 |
| Skry^ | caveman26, goto system > preferences > sessions and add nvidia-settings --load-config-only | 03:52 |
| jimmio | His time is also advancing twice the speed it should... | 03:53 |
| home_ | saludo | 03:53 |
| home_ | alguien escribe español? | 03:53 |
| booksbuggy | well i'll check now | 03:53 |
| Sajuta | !es > home_ | 03:53 |
| ubottu | home_, please see my private message | 03:53 |
| JasonWoof | booksbuggy: when you right-click the flash movie, does it show that it's adobe plugin? | 03:53 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, ugh i was doing that but its taking god forever, and sometimes rsynce is throwing weird i/o errors. it should be about to copy alot faster than it is... damn near full usb support speed | 03:53 |
| djhash | jrib: aah.. completely forgot about that.. i belive its medibuntu stuff right | 03:53 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: you will not get more than 1 to 2% better speed from doing it raw | 03:54 |
| jrib | djhash: yep | 03:54 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: if there are I/O errors, then the Linux kernel will retry several times to read the sector | 03:54 |
| booksbuggy | okay on the top is is about jv flv player 3.2 then under that setting then under that is adobe flash player 9 | 03:54 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: that is what will cause it to go very slowly. look in dmesg for the complete list of hard drive errors | 03:54 |
| home_ | hey | 03:54 |
| booksbuggy | menu wise | 03:54 |
| home_ | help me | 03:54 |
| home_ | i have a problem | 03:55 |
| ybeddyj | thk jrib | 03:55 |
| booksbuggy | some thing like this | 03:55 |
| K_Dallas | Hi guys! What is the minimal set of packages to install after a fresh hardy installation to add audio-video playing support for the majority of a/v formats, e.g. wmv, flac, rm. Thanks (I just don't want to install too many players and codecs etc. Have medibuntu already added) | 03:55 |
| home_ | for upgrade my ubuntu | 03:55 |
| bigmack83 | hmm. on my ubuntu 8.04 laptop my update manager says all is up to date, but in the update manager window there are a bunch of greyed out packages that i cant select to update. why cant i update those packages? | 03:55 |
| booksbuggy | about jv flv player | 03:55 |
| booksbuggy | settings | 03:55 |
| booksbuggy | about adobe flash player 9 | 03:55 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, alright ill just do a copy then i thought it would be a bigger difference. going to take like 30 hours | 03:55 |
| core_ | hello can anyone tell me how do i start dialup connection on startup? | 03:55 |
| Skry^ | K_Dallas, gstreamer-plugins-* | 03:56 |
| WebcamWonder | K_Dallas, A player like mplayer or vlc should be able to play most common formats out of the box | 03:56 |
| booksbuggy | maybe i should see if there are other flash player plugin installed | 03:56 |
| jimmio | Anyone have a clue? This isn't the Ubuntu I remember.... =/ | 03:57 |
| K_Dallas | Skry^, i will look into it. WebcamWonder would vlc allow me to save portions of video i am playing in real time? | 03:57 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: the only difference in speed is that copying the files will read the directory structure (random reads), whereas the direct dd method is reading from the disk in order (sequentially) | 03:57 |
| n8tuser | K_Dallas-> pt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse vlc mplayer mplayer-fonts | 03:57 |
| WebcamWonder | K_Dallas, If you want to do a copy of portions of file, look into encoders like mencoder or ffmpeg | 03:57 |
| n8tuser | apt* | 03:57 |
| RHorse | booksbuggy, go to adobe site and dl latest flash | 03:58 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: you're better off using rsync, as it will report at the end about about failures to copy | 03:58 |
| core_ | how do i make auto dialup connection to the Internet when the computer is started??? | 03:58 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, i just do see why it tops out at like a meg a second | 03:58 |
| booksbuggy | what is the latest version? | 03:58 |
| booksbuggy | 10? | 03:58 |
| WebcamWonder | K_Dallas, But, I do believe they have certain level of basic funcationality of dumping stream. Check the man page for more details | 03:58 |
| K_Dallas | thanks n8tuser. WebcamWonder i used mencoder once but it was really hard to manipulate as i needed to know exactly the time stamp of portion i wanted to copy | 03:58 |
| RHorse | booksbuggy, go to adobe site and dl latest flash, report back. | 03:58 |
| booksbuggy | because i already got 9 | 03:58 |
| booksbuggy | alright | 03:58 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: have you confirmed that it's not just a slow disk because it's about to die ? if it's USB, have you confirmed it is using something above USB 1.1 ? | 03:59 |
| K_Dallas | WebcamWonder, i look into it again. thanks | 03:59 |
| WebcamWonder | K_Dallas, So you basically want to timestamp while the file is being played? I think mplayer supported writing edl which did that | 03:59 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: look in dmesg when you plug the drive in, it will mention either "a new high speed USB device" or "low speed" or "full speed" | 03:59 |
| RHorse | booksbuggy, if the config is wrong the dl will fix it prolly | 03:59 |
| mrono | I'm trying to SSH tunnel through a proxy, can anyone help me? | 03:59 |
| booksbuggy | oh | 03:59 |
| core_ | anyone can help me? | 03:59 |
| core_ | with dial up? | 04:00 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: high speed is the only one which will give fast performance. full speed is USB 1.1 and very slow. low speed is only for mice and such. | 04:00 |
| WebcamWonder | K_Dallas, Here you go. > http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2005/06/make_your_own_phantom_edit_wit.html | 04:00 |
| K_Dallas | WebcamWonder, that would be nice. thanks. have to look into the man pages. havent played with it except normal video playing | 04:00 |

| werdnus | I lost the game | 04:02 |
| h00k | Atomic_UE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb | 04:03 |
| Atomic_UE | Samus_Aran, so it just forks itself forever using um ram? | 04:03 |
| MindVirus | Atomic_UE, it makes a function called : that runs : and pipes the output to : in a new thread, or fork. | 04:03 |
| * h00k giggles | 04:03 | |
| Samus_Aran | Atomic_UE: it defines a function which calls itself twice in the background | 04:03 |
| MindVirus | Then runs it. | 04:03 |
| Coder365_ | is us.archive.ubuntu.com having latency issues? | 04:03 |
| Samus_Aran | Atomic_UE: it will continue to create processes until it hits the limit for active processes, then if you're lucky, die off. | 04:03 |
| MindVirus | But you probably won't be lucky. | 04:04 |
| MindVirus | So don't run it. | 04:04 |
| booksbuggy | RHorse: thanks it worked | 04:04 |
| Samus_Aran | Atomic_UE: the last time I tried that one, it created a few hundred processes, then died, about 2 seconds after starting | 04:04 |
| RHorse | booksbuggy, you're welcome | 04:04 |
| Samus_Aran | Atomic_UE: worst case scenario your system would get too slow to do anthing but reboot | 04:04 |
| Samus_Aran | *anything | 04:04 |
| MindVirus | It really doesn't do much malicious in terms of data. | 04:05 |
| MindVirus | It just slows your computer to a halt. | 04:05 |

| Samus_Aran | trisinger: then you can plug your USB device in, and see immediately the messages | 04:12 |

| kanhiya78 | ok | 04:12 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: anyway, is it "low speed", "full speed" or "high speed" ? | 04:12 |
| elementz | WPPWAH: ummh, i seem to misunderstand the syntax serveradmin%memetical.com@memetical.com | 04:12 |

| crashsystems | thanks | 04:13 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, well thats the thing that never came up when i plugged it in only "[sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through" | 04:13 |
| kanhiya78 | now what to do get it again on panel | 04:13 |
| Zerodamage | Anyone? | 04:13 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: please use dmesg like I said. it always states the speed of the device | 04:13 |
| freetown | crashsystems, uname -m sorry | 04:13 |
| elementz | WPPWAH: i meant to post this: ssh -R 8080:mylogin@myserver.com:8080 | 04:14 |
| WebcamWonder | kanhiya78, Right click on empty space in the panel, select add to panel, and select trash from the list, hit ok | 04:14 |
| elementz | WPPWAH: that seems to not work | 04:14 |
| WPPWAH | oh elementz | 04:14 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, alright ill try it, the command i was using is "tail -n0 -f /var/log/dmesg" | 04:14 |

| joseph | anyone know how to setup wireless in intrepid studio? | 04:15 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: you could also do it this way: watch -n 0.5 'dmesg|tac' | 04:15 |
| Skry^ | Zerodamage, how does it not work? | 04:16 |
| Zerodamage | Skry^ the Nvidia restricted drivers do not load. The system goes to the screan where I can trouble shoot it or load default config which is the only thing that works. | 04:17 |
| Venin | is this the right syntax for extending sudo to 120 minutes in sudoers file? Defaults env_reset, timestamp_timeout=120 | 04:17 |

| histo | kanhiya78: there is a search box on the add to panel screen you can type in trash in the search box | 04:20 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, what i was doinf works i guess my verbosity id low, not all my msg wen to the log. it says new full speed device | 04:20 |
| histo | Elijah: that specific of hardware question you should try the forums | 04:20 |
| piju | anybody, can i install nautilus 2.24 on hardy ? | 04:21 |
| kanhiya78 | please tell me from first step i am confused | 04:21 |
| Skry^ | Zerodamage, go to terminal and do lspci | grep VGA and tell me what you see | 04:21 |

| trisinger | Samus_Aran, is that 1.1? | 04:22 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: that is USB 1.1. If your hard drive and USB controller are USB 2.0, you should try to get that working | 04:22 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: correct | 04:22 |
| histo | kanhiya78: Right click on the panel then click "Add to Panel" | 04:22 |

| kanhiya78 | i do right click on desktop but there is no option like add to panel | 04:22 |
| cognitiaclaeves | what is the name of that apple like selector at the bottom of the screen? | 04:23 |
| cognitiaclaeves | ( I can't remember what to install / run ) | 04:23 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: USB 1.1 has { low speed = very slow, full speed = 11 Mbps } USB 2.0 has { high speed = 480 Mbps } | 04:23 |
| WebcamWonder | cognitiaclaeves, Avant Window Manager? | 04:23 |
| histo | kanhiya78: well thats because the desktop isn't a panel | 04:23 |
| cognitiaclaeves | WebcamWonder: That's it. Thanks. And what a name. | 04:24 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, damn im using a 1.1 controller, this comp is just an extra one in the office | 04:24 |
| kanhiya78 | ok tell me the procedure to add it to desktop | 04:24 |
| WebcamWonder | cognitiaclaeves, No problem. Was that comment towards my nickname or Avant's? :p | 04:24 |
| Agent7629 | trisinger: you can get a PCI card that gives u USB 2.0 ports - might take some work to get the controller ubuntu friendly, but mine works just fine on default install | 04:24 |
| cognitiaclaeves | yours. hehe | 04:24 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: you might want to confirm that you have USB 2.0 kernel modules (drivers) loaded. without them, even if it is a USB 2.0 device, it will only do "full speed" USB 1.1 | 04:25 |

| memeemeee | why are some packages "kept back" when I fun apt-get upgrade? | 04:25 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, i greped the dmesg log file and i see "2006 August 4 USB 1.1 open host controller" | 04:25 |
| trisinger | Agent7629, i think we might have one of those actually | 04:25 |
| Zerodamage | skry^ any luck? I've been googling and have tried a dozen things | 04:25 |
| f|uke | because some packages are not for fun | 04:25 |
| histo | kanhiya78: Hit <ALT>+F2 | 04:25 |
| WebcamWonder | memeemeee, Left over packages from previous uninstallations? | 04:25 |
| sebsebseb | right so the backgrounds I have put in Ubuntu, many are titled, and some aren't. What I would like is for it to be able to keep them as titled/zoomed whilst giving me a new one after a minute. I have searched Google and ubuntu repo for this, but what comes up does not seem to be quite what I want. | 04:26 |
| histo | kanhiya78: Type in gconf-editor. Under Apps > Nautilus > Desktop there is an option for th trash icon to be visible on desktop | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | tiled above | 04:26 |
| piju | anybody, can i install nautilus 2.24 on hardy ? | 04:26 |
| JasonWoof | my partition table is partially corrupted (I can mount the important partition, but fdisk and parted can't display the partition table) | 04:26 |
| Agent7629 | trisinger: i picked one up at bestbuy for 5 extra usb 2.0 spots.. works with default install of 8.04 | 04:26 |
| kanhiya78 | please wait | 04:27 |
| JasonWoof | it is currently a mac format partition table, and I'd prefer msdos format | 04:27 |
| meoblast001 | ok | 04:27 |
| meoblast001 | i have a problem | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | piju: yep, but iit's best to always use stuff from repo when you can normalley | 04:27 |
| memeemeee | is that what it is WebcamWonder? seems odd that they would even be mentioned? should I run remove to get rid of them? | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | piju: expesailly stuff such as gnoem | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | gnome | 04:27 |
| meoblast001 | i have a folder with a bunch of files all with the same permissions.... but apache2 only shows 2 of them | 04:27 |
| JasonWoof | I have discovered the start/end/size positions of the partition I'd like to keep. Can I create an msdos partition table with these same values and it'll work? | 04:27 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, whats the madule name in lsmod | 04:27 |
| CITguy-Apollo | I am having issues with authentication. I cannot login either at GDM or terminal. Suggestions? | 04:27 |
| Samus_Aran | JasonWoof: perhaps you don't have the proper partition table formats installed. I've never used anything but the standard PC ones, but it has dozens of other partition table formats | 04:27 |
| Samus_Aran | JasonWoof: I think these are available as kernel modules that you load up | 04:28 |
| WebcamWonder | memeemeee, autoremove should get rid off them | 04:28 |
| JasonWoof | Samus_Aran: I can mount it just fine | 04:28 |
| JasonWoof | Samus_Aran: it's just parted/fdisk that don't work | 04:28 |
| Samus_Aran | JasonWoof: the modules would allow the partitioning program to see it properly | 04:28 |
| Thraspic | I have installed KDM Theme Manager, but when I load it I get this message: "Can't find Configuration File: blah blah You must set-up the Login Manager before you can use its themes". How can I resolve this? | 04:28 |
| Brucee | it tells me i dont have permission to change a file. i use sudo and i can, how can i log into root as to prevent using sudo | 04:28 |
| JasonWoof | Samus_Aran: anyway, my real question is can I set up an msdos partition table with my existing partition that was set up when the partition table was mac format? | 04:28 |

| Samus_Aran | trisinger: ehci_hcd is the main USB 2.0 module, and then you may also need another one for your specific motherboard | 04:30 |
| kanhiya78 | than type gconf-editor | 04:30 |
| WebcamWonder | kanhiya78, If I remember correctly, a logout/login is required for that change to take effect | 04:30 |
| Skry^ | Zerodamage, no luck :\ It's kinda strange as it _should_ work. | 04:30 |
| histo | kanhiya78: YES | 04:30 |
| memeemeee | WebcamWonder, sudo get-apt autoremove. but that's the output anytime I run apt-get always 6 held back | 04:30 |
| histo | kanhiya78: or open a terminal and type in gconf-editor | 04:31 |
| djhash | !root | Brucee | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Brucee: 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 | 04:31 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: keep in mind that different USB ports may be USB 2.0 or USB 1.1, so try all your USB plugs | 04:31 |
| Brucee | ok | 04:31 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, no ehci only ohci | 04:31 |
| Samus_Aran | trisinger: try loading it then: sudo modprobe ehci_hcd | 04:31 |

| Thraspic | CITguy-Apollo, I tried that, selected KDM (which I did when I first installed it) and I get the same error. I get two options, KDM and GDM, SHould I pick GDM? | 04:32 |
| trisinger | Samus_Aran, am right now will be back | 04:32 |
| memeemeee | also Brucee if you really want to run several root commands without typing sudo over and over (THIS IS BAD ADVICE) type sudo su | 04:32 |
| WebcamWonder | memeemeee, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html | 04:32 |
| Samus_Aran | memeemeee: better to do: sudo su - | 04:32 |
| cHiOs | sudo -s works too? | 04:32 |
| Samus_Aran | memeemeee: so it loads /etc/profile | 04:32 |
| CITguy-Apollo | Thraspic: give it a try, wouldn't hurt | 04:32 |
| histo | memeemeee: sudo is saved for 15minutes | 04:33 |
| kanhiya78 | ok thanks all of you for help ; i am new to linux and trying to get best from it ,i have one problem which is related to resolution i am unable to get higher resolution than 800x640 | 04:33 |

| genii | memeemeee: Anything you need root for can be done with sudo | 04:36 |
| n8tuser | paulorv-> iptables is adequate | 04:36 |
| histo | kanhiya78: you should have no problem upping your resolution what happens when you try? | 04:36 |
| Zerodamage | Skry^ I've tried them all. I am out of options except to remove the tv tuner card | 04:36 |
| h00k | paulorv: iptables are enabled already in Ubuntu | 04:36 |
| Zerodamage | then I will have to consider going to Windows which I do not want to do | 04:36 |
| Zerodamage | I am frustrated beyond belief | 04:36 |
| Samus_Aran | genii: there are no problems to experience afterward. all components of the system continue to function as before | 04:36 |
| kanhiya78 | there is no option to select higher than 800x640 | 04:37 |

| pangloss | Hey guys, question. Why can you graphically change the login screen resolution? | 04:37 |
| genii | Samus_Aran: Try this then: in your home directory as user, swithc to root. Then run Nautilus and exit. Try running it without ever being root or using sudo again. It's impossible | 04:37 |
| kanhiya78 | ok what to do | 04:38 |
| === sickgirl485-away is now known as sickgirl485 | ||
| genii | Samus_Aran: Then the user reapperars here going "Nautilus won't run!" etc | 04:38 |
| kanhiya78 | first i want to change resolution | 04:38 |
| Samus_Aran | genii: running Nautilus as root user is unrelated to creating a root password | 04:38 |
| Samus_Aran | genii: gksudo nautilus would have the same effect | 04:38 |

| carpeliam | anybody know how to debug problems with aplay? | 04:40 |
| Samus_Aran | I have a root password on most but not all of my Ubuntu systems, usually so I can log in as root on TTYs to fix issues, without needing to log in twice with my regular user's password | 04:40 |
| memeemeee | Samus_Aran, I think genii's point is that once people start running term as root they make mistakes which then have to be dealt with by us. it's generally a bad idea | 04:40 |

| kanhiya78 | next | 04:41 |
| Samus_Aran | memeemeee: and by default a root login will *not* be able to run X commands -- it would require the normal user first running: xhost + | 04:41 |

| n8tuser | nothing new in event or upstart on 8.10 ... who the heck comes out with these ideas and no follow through? | 04:43 |
| RHorse | zerodamage, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg imms | 04:44 |
| Samus_Aran | zerodamage: there is none. you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or you can use the tools in the admin menu in Gnome | 04:44 |
| bruenig | uh oh Samus_Aran and RHorse are going to go at it | 04:44 |

| Rev | hello | 04:45 |
| GodfatherofEire | n8tuser, I didn't manage to figure out whatever was goin on with the network manager, worked fine with a fresh install, which was (to my knowledge) configured exactly the same as the update. | 04:45 |
| K_Dallas | Q: what is the free RAR-UNRAR alternative? | 04:46 |
| bruenig | Gnatman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_(film) | 04:46 |
| Rev | is it possible to launch the system update and tell the computer to shutdown automatically as soon as the update is finished? | 04:46 |
| cb_ | Installed Ubuntu yesterday and pretty impressed. What am I missing, why hasn't it exploded | 04:46 |
| minion007 | hey guys | 04:46 |
| bruenig | sudo apt-get update ; shutdown now | 04:46 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: apt-get upgrade && shutdown -h now | 04:46 |
| n8tuser | GodfatherofEire-> is it solved? | 04:46 |
| bruenig | err -h | 04:46 |
| GodfatherofEire | You could say that n8tuser | 04:47 |
| Skry^ | cb_, it will explode, you've been lucky | 04:47 |
| GodfatherofEire | Just did a fresh install | 04:47 |
| pangloss | K_Dallas: just type in unrar into terminal | 04:47 |
| cb_ | ha ha | 04:47 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: you could stick it in a launcher icon | 04:47 |
| Gnatman | bruenig do u know of any books? | 04:47 |
| zerodamage | samus_aran, it did not do anything for me other than configure the keyboard. I am looking for the one that does the video. | 04:47 |
| n8tuser | GodfatherofEire-> i dont know if you recall, i kept telling people not to do an upgrade but rather fresh install.. those kind of quirkyness is one of the reasons | 04:47 |
| Samus_Aran | zerodamage: as I said, there is none. you either set it in the admin menu, or you edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf =) | 04:47 |
| cb_ | Was a bit afraid of doing the flash install but that went pretty smooth. Did not have sound but found a solution fairly easily | 04:47 |

| minion007 | yeah | 04:48 |
| Samus_Aran | zerodamage: Xorg automatically detects your resolution and sets it to the highest available | 04:48 |
| Rev | Samus_Aran, thanks for the command | 04:48 |
| WebcamWonder | minion007, Look into Avant Window Manager | 04:48 |
| K_Dallas | pangloss, there is a nonfree one but it is shareware for 40 days | 04:48 |
| zerodamage | samus_aran it is supposed to but it isn't | 04:48 |
| minion007 | thanks | 04:48 |
| GodfatherofEire | Also, n8tuser, you know if there are any fixes for the 8.10 usplashes? | 04:49 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: the && tells it to only shutdown if the other command was successfull -- so if there were errors, it wouldn't shut down | 04:49 |
| cb_ | Anyone using Lazarus or nomachine? | 04:49 |
| Skry^ | zerodamage, nvidia-xconfig ? | 04:49 |
| WebcamWonder | K_Dallas, I think the multiverse or universe has the non-free rar, and unrar | 04:49 |
| carpeliam | !alsa | 04:49 |
| 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 | 04:49 |
| Gnatman | does anyone know a place where i could go to find other irc channels | 04:49 |
| pangloss | K_Dallas: unrar should be able to handle it, what version do you have? | 04:49 |
| K_Dallas | WebcamWonder, but it would still be shareware and requires registration after 40days | 04:49 |
| will_hough | Gnatman: in freenode? | 04:49 |
| zerodamage | skry^ no, that does nothing because the nvidia drivers will not install | 04:49 |

| Flannel | Gnatman: /msg alis help | 04:50 |
| Rev | Samus_Aran, ok perfect, that was exactly what i wanted! | 04:50 |
| K_Dallas | pangloss, i havent install unrar yet. i try the free one then and see how it goes | 04:50 |
| Gnatman | thanx | 04:50 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: you will also want to add these options to apt-get, if you run it from an icon without a terminal: apt-get --quiet --assume-yes upgrade | 04:50 |
| Cranders | Is there anyway you can "insall ubuntu inside of windows" when using a RAID 0 setup? | 04:50 |
| pangloss | K_Dallas: the free one should come native with Ubuntu | 04:50 |
| Skry^ | zerodamage, so what do you need to do with your xorg.conf? | 04:50 |
| K_Dallas | pangloss, it is not installed on my system. | 04:50 |
| Rev | Samus_Aran, yeah but i always run it from the term | 04:51 |
| zerodamage | skry^ I need to redo everything so my video resolution will be correct | 04:51 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: and add sudo's as appropriate. =) | 04:51 |

| pangloss | K_Dallas: when you type in unrar in a terminal nothing happens? | 04:51 |
| Skry^ | zerodamage, ok.. btw did you try to install nvidia drivers from terminal with apt-get? | 04:51 |
| will_hough | that opened /home/will/etc/samba | 04:51 |
| Rev | Samus_Aran, btw, i was also looking for changing permissions on a folder AND all the folders and files contained inside it. I modified it as root, so its totally locked for my regular user. whats the command to let myself write/read it? | 04:52 |
| K_Dallas | pangloss, it says i need to apt-get it. | 04:52 |
| Rev | Samus_Aran, im lost between chmode, chown and so on | 04:52 |
| zerodamage | skry^ yes. | 04:52 |
| Samus_Aran | zerodamage: it has been years since I've seen a resolution selector from the install script. Xorg likes everything to be automatic now. xorg.conf is empty on most modern Xorg versions | 04:52 |
| K_Dallas | pangloss, i installed unrar-free | 04:52 |
| zerodamage | samus_aran where else can I look to fix it? I am out of options | 04:52 |
| Skry^ | zerodamage, didnt give you any useful info why it didnt work? | 04:52 |
| usser_ | Rev, chown -R $USERNAME:$USERNAME /directory && chmod -R 755 /directory | 04:52 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: sudo chown -R your_username /some/folder/here | 04:53 |
| pangloss | K_Dallas: just use rar and unrar packages | 04:53 |
| Samus_Aran | zerodamage: what is the problem you're having ? | 04:53 |
| K_Dallas | pangloss, ok | 04:53 |
| zerodamage | skry^ it installs fine but it fails upon boot up. I have to either load minimal or reset to default config | 04:53 |
| deftone | Can anyone tell me what's the newest mobile wireless card that works out of the box with ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| zerodamage | samus_aran I installed Hauppauge 1600 and now the Nvidia restricted drivers will not run. | 04:53 |
| Rev | usser, Samus_Aran see ! you gave me two different commands, thats really not easy.. which one is the correct one, and what are the differences? | 04:54 |
| * will_hough got it | 04:54 | |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: theirs was more confusing than my command, and did a few extra things, possibly incorrectly. the command I gave you changed the owner of all the files, nothing else | 04:54 |
| Skry^ | zerodamage, did it crash/freeze or just drop you off into console? | 04:54 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: theirs set the owner and group for all the files, then changed the permissions on every file | 04:55 |
| Rev | Samus_Aran, oh ok, thanks for the explanation | 04:55 |
| zerodamage | Skry^ the new thing from Ibix comes up. Says an error with Nvidia drivers. Gives me some options to edit the xorg config, run in minimal mode, or create a new config. | 04:55 |
| zerodamage | skry^ none of those work | 04:56 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: also, theirs used the variable $USERNAME which won't exist. it would be $USER | 04:56 |
| Skry^ | zerodamage, i guess you didnt check xorgs logs? | 04:56 |
| Samus_Aran | Rev: most likely all you wanted to do was change the owner from root to your own user. just replace the "your_username" in my example with your actual username | 04:57 |
| zerodamage | skry^ yes I did. | 04:57 |
| Samus_Aran | zerodamage: okay, your issue appears to be that the PCI identifier has changed, or else the nvidia kernel module (driver) is not loaded | 04:58 |
| Samus_Aran | zerodamage: please paste the result of this command: lspci | grep -i vga | 04:58 |

| elpargo | lianimator, as opposed to ? | 05:27 |

| minion007 | i will see you guys tonight in about 12 hours | 05:33 |

| minion007 | bye for now | 05:34 |
| RHorse | rev, try feh | 05:34 |

| Rev | pangloss, i would have prefered a direct button. can i bind a hotkey for delete in image viewer? | 05:35 |
| elpargo | Rev, in eog you can hit delete | 05:35 |
| MFen | you're telling me there is no way to blacklist a wireless network? | 05:35 |
| SegFaultAX | MFen: thats not what you asked | 05:36 |
| elpargo | Rev, so you want a GUI button? | 05:36 |
| Rev | elpargo, indeed... the fact that i can hit the delete key is nice | 05:36 |
| Rev | i hadnt even tried | 05:36 |
| MFen | SegFaultAX: ok, now that's what i'm asking. | 05:36 |
| Rev | only thing is that this viewer is very slow | 05:36 |

| SegFaultAX | Rev: if the pictures are really large, that is to say if they are high resolution, then that could slow their load down substantially | 05:42 |
| zcat[1] | what's the 'reccomended' minimum hardware for hardy? I can't find it on the website | 05:42 |

| elpargo | Appl3Kork, that doesn't makes sense. | 05:42 |
| Rev | elpargo, SegFaultAX , i have one here for instance : 2592*1944 | 05:43 |
| SegFaultAX | Rev: whats the bit depth? | 05:43 |
| Appl3Kork | well I can't upload anything through FTP to the home server | 05:43 |
| Appl3Kork | or home directory | 05:43 |
| lifestream | Anyone familiar with PS emulation?!:( Dying here. Been trying to figure out why my pscx won't load any of my CDs. Any help? :P | 05:43 |
| Appl3Kork | like I can add files to a different folder for the html pages, but I can't just upload to the home dir | 05:43 |
| zcat[1] | NM, found it | 05:44 |
| SegFaultAX | Rev: keep in mind that scaling a few million bytes (several megs) of data can take some time. thats why image viewers generally produce thumbnails | 05:44 |
| genii | lifestream: Likely because the PS cd drives spin in the other direction | 05:44 |
| elpargo | Appl3Kork, then you FTP configuration is wrong, also you should use sFTP instead. | 05:44 |
| Appl3Kork | ppl have been telling me to use pure-ftpd and proftpd I'm just sick of having to keep changing | 05:44 |
| lifestream | genii, ... weird :P ... How about ISO? Won't load ISO either. It loads bios fine, then.... nothing. | 05:45 |
| elpargo | Rev, as SegFaultAX said, that big of a picture will take time to render, just because it's big but 1sec isnt that much for that size. | 05:45 |
| SegFaultAX | elpargo: agreed. | 05:45 |
| Rev | SegFaultAX, yeah yeah, i dont argue about that. THats just that i used to use an other viewer, but i cant remeber the name since i installed a fresh ibex. It was far faster that the EoG. It was a little like Feh in term of speed but with a GUI | 05:45 |
| genii | lifestream: If you make an iso in linux, you need some tool to "reverse" it since its again in the wrong direction | 05:45 |
| elpargo | Appl3Kork, well if you want to do it right, you should go with ssh + ftp, that's a secure way of doing it, if you want to stick with plain FTP you need to configure your server to let you upload files everywhere. | 05:46 |
| SegFaultAX | Rev: try a search in the repository, you might get lucky or find an acceptable alternative | 05:46 |
| Rev | SegFaultAX, ok thanls | 05:46 |

| johnny_ | elpargo, yes i did.. | 05:54 |
| SegFaultAX | Rev: contact the developers. its probably already in the process though. plus devs and package maintainers are slow | 05:54 |
| johnny_ | that's where it's failing now after trying partial upgrade | 05:54 |
| elpargo | fitztrev, I don't remember the actual name but it's the configuration program you can enable/disable any plugin there. | 05:55 |
| SegFaultAX | Rev: its only been a week afterall, give them a chance to stretch their legs :D | 05:55 |
| Rev | SegFaultAX, ok, i'll just note it into my tomboy, and i'll check again in some weeks ;) | 05:55 |
| Benalex | Hello all, I am trying to install Intrepid Desktop from LiveCD, and I am not getting any partitions listed, Any suggests? | 05:55 |

| elpargo | Ben1, ati card? | 05:56 |
| Ben1 | nvidia | 05:56 |
| dig | firefox becomes more stable after switching to compiz. | 05:56 |
| fitztrev | elpargo: how do I at least run the config? | 05:56 |
| Ben1 | geforce 4 | 05:56 |
| Ben1 | i have the beta of the driver nvidia came out with | 05:56 |
| SegFaultAX | dig: thats a first :D | 05:56 |
| dig | :) | 05:57 |
| Scumgrief | hey why are there powerpc ubuntu releases if they aren't officially supported? | 05:57 |
| elpargo | fitztrev, Compiz-settings is the name of the tool. | 05:57 |
| Ben1 | elpargo, what do you think? | 05:57 |
| elpargo | Ben1, that something is wrong with the new video drivers, I'm also having a ton of issues with them. | 05:58 |
| Ben1 | yeah, do you think that is the issue here? | 05:58 |
| Ben1 | i got 3d support by going to nvidia's beta | 05:58 |
| melichar | im playing a 3d game, and my fps are horrible, when in windows , it could play on the highest quality, I think its my agp bridge being set to 0x, how can i change it to 8x? i have a ati x1900, thans | 05:59 |
| Ben1 | elpargo, do you know if anything is being done about the video? | 05:59 |
| SegFaultAX | melichar: what game is it? | 05:59 |
| melichar | SegFaultAX: nexuiz, i have every effect turn off, lowest quality, resoultion, and its still choppy | 06:00 |
| elpargo | Ben1, not sure, the issue is too wide to have something concrete. | 06:00 |
| melichar | SegFaultAX: when in windows, i could play on high quality with all effects on and still get 40 fps - 120 fps | 06:00 |
| fitztrev | elpargo: ok got it. thank you! | 06:00 |
| elpargo | fitztrev, welcome. | 06:00 |
| elpargo | melichar, are you certain your videocard settings are optimal? | 06:01 |
| SegFaultAX | melichar: well linux has notoriously bad 3d, probably a driver issue | 06:01 |
| kindofabuzz | is it a known problem with the nvidia legacy drivers and compiz being broken? | 06:01 |
| melichar | elpargo: i changed them the way i did before in windows, i think its a software error | 06:01 |
| Ben1 | it is a known problem | 06:02 |
| melichar | elpargo: i had the problem in windows where the software wasn't compaible with agp x8, so I had to force it and it worked just fine, could linux not detect agp also? | 06:02 |
| Ben1 | i downloaded a beta nvidia driver for my card and now i can use compiz | 06:02 |
| kindofabuzz | i can't, and i'm using the betas | 06:02 |
| kindofabuzz | i can switch to compiz, but nothing works other than my 4 desktops | 06:03 |
| johnny_ | uggh.. | 06:03 |
| Ben1 | ooh | 06:03 |
| Ben1 | hmm | 06:03 |
| Ben1 | what card do you have? | 06:03 |
| elpargo | melichar, maybe, that depends on your game. | 06:03 |
| kindofabuzz | Ben1, ti 4400 | 06:03 |
| melichar | elpargo: should not be a problem, it was working just fine in windows xp, and many people in nexuiz run off linux | 06:04 |
| JancyTheMexicano | what is linux | 06:04 |
| melichar | any suggestions? how can i change my agp bridge to x8? | 06:04 |
| dazvid | An illegal hacking operating system JancyTheMexicano | 06:04 |
| elpargo | melichar, the fact that it works in other OS doesn't means it works in ubuntu. | 06:04 |
| SegFaultAX | JancyTheMexicano: an operating system | 06:04 |
| kindofabuzz | JancyTheMexicano, linux is freedom | 06:04 |
| melichar | elpargo: i have many friends on nexuiz that use ubuntu and get fps as high as 300 fps | 06:05 |
| kindofabuzz | nex runs great on my box | 06:05 |
| kindofabuzz | with an old card | 06:05 |

| dinkus | guys... need help... just set up a friend on ubuntu.. .he's chinese and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get chinese insalled on this thing... i installed the chinese version but what do i do to install chinese input method? | 06:06 |
| === ne2k___ is now known as ne2k__ | ||
| dinkus | scim is already installed but chinese is not an option and i cannot figure out how to add it | 06:06 |
| SegFaultAX | djhash: are you familiar with /etc/init.d? | 06:06 |
| djhash | SegFaultAX: yes.. its what i usually use to start and stop apache :-) | 06:06 |
| xorlim | linux is the kernel of an operating system called GNU/Linux, the kernel was written by Linus Torvalds and lots of other computer programmers around the world. | 06:06 |
| elpargo | dinkus, did you try with System - Preferences - keyboard | 06:07 |
| melichar | ok, im installing windows again just to play games lol, thanks | 06:07 |
| SegFaultAX | djhash: then create a start script, and add a link in rc2.d | 06:07 |
| seronis | anyone have suggestion on how i can assign functionality to the special keys on my compaq keyboard ? (internet, search and calculator keys) | 06:07 |
| elpargo | melichar, or you could try to figure out what's wrong, 99% change it's a misconfiguration of your card. | 06:07 |
| eitreach | Is it possible to enable all updates to download and install in the background, as it is with security updates? | 06:08 |
| eitreach | melichar: Linux isn't Windows. Things are different, especially some games since the technologies used in most aren't native to this system. | 06:08 |
| seronis | strangely enough volume up/down, mute and hibernate already work | 06:08 |
| melichar | elpargo: i've been playing with the settings for 12+ hours, and i have gotten no where | 06:08 |
| dinkus | elpargo: doesnt that install a different keyboard layout rather than a different input method for an american keyboard layout? | 06:08 |
| elpargo | dinkus, both | 06:08 |
| Hilton | In Synaptic's category list, I see the same item listed three times. One is marked (universe), the other (multiverse). What are these? | 06:08 |
| elpargo | melichar, then stop playing :) do you have bad FPS with that game or with every 3d app? | 06:09 |
| dinkus | okay ill look | 06:09 |
| Rev | dude, this guy who invented the disk usage calculator is a pure genius. | 06:09 |

| djhash | SegFaultAX: here's what i'm not sure about.. if I use a script to start "application &" and then the script exits.. will init.d monitor "application" or script? and when application crashes.. what will happen? script is run again.. or application is run again? | 06:09 |

| melichar | elpargo: no, but I installed ubuntu because i wanted linux and i know it will work with quake 3 arena/nexuiz, now it doesn't, so i really don't have a purpose for linux | 06:10 |
| am4zin | Hilton, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 06:10 |
| Scumgrief | how do you tell if your running 64 or 32 bit linux | 06:10 |
| ooglebutte | sacamano: apt-get clean should free some space | 06:10 |
| Scumgrief | i just realized i don't know if i dled the right version | 06:10 |
| === smg_soul is now known as PANGERAN_KEHUJAN | ||
| Hilton | Thank you. | 06:11 |
| elpargo | melichar, well too bad for you, linux for games isn't it's prime anyway. | 06:11 |
| ooglebutte | Scumgrief: uname -a should tell | 06:11 |
| prince_jammys | Scumgrief: what does 'uname -m' give? | 06:11 |
| melichar | elpargo: it is for quake lol, theres a large community that uses linux, its just a software problem and i was just wondering if anyone had a solution | 06:11 |
| Scumgrief | Linux winston-ubuntu 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 06:11 |
| devdavad | Does anyone know if its possible to remove openoffice on intrepid without removing ubuntu-desktop? | 06:11 |
| Scumgrief | what would it say if it was 64bit | 06:11 |

| Scumgrief | oh | 06:12 |
| Scumgrief | crap lol | 06:12 |
| ooglebutte | hehe | 06:12 |
| SegFaultAX | devdavad: openoffice is dug in pretty deep at this point | 06:12 |
| Scumgrief | i did it again, installed 32 bit linux when i wanted 64 bit rofl | 06:12 |
| elpargo | melichar, it IS a software problem, but you need to figure out if it's the driver, quake, something else, but since you don't care enough I guess you should indeed go back to windows. | 06:12 |
| ralpho | cisco warns of down turn after world learns ceo is a mccain supporting dick. | 06:12 |
| am4zin | devdavad, ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, you can remove it... | 06:12 |
| djhash | yeah.. sometime ago i thought 686 meant 64bit.. and 32bit is 386.. but i was dead wrong.. ;-P | 06:12 |
| dinkus | elpargo... i'm still getting nothing... that gave me an option for a new keyboard layout... but i still cannot enter chinese... i need to have entered in SCIM but i dont see an option to add a language... also there is nothing i can see in language settings which allows for adding a language | 06:13 |
| melichar | alright thanks | 06:13 |
| Scumgrief | lol, well i just seem to dl wrong distro versions | 06:13 |

| JonathanEllis | Is it possible to configure two mice at the same time in xorg.conf? I need both a serial mouse and the autodetected usb mouse. The serial mouse is for a serial spinner on a joystick | 06:13 |
| ralpho | sorry wrong channel i profusely apologize. | 06:14 |
| dinkus | is there a place to download chinese as a supported language in synaptic package manager? | 06:14 |
| elpargo | dinkus, I have never installed chinese stuff, maybe you need a package then try the keyboard, maybe you need this package "chinput" | 06:15 |
| Scumgrief | Jonathan look into multimouse xorg | 06:15 |
| Scumgrief | it has a funky name | 06:15 |
| dinkus | okay... i'm looking thanks | 06:15 |
| DBO | anyone got any idea how to check if a disk is spun down programatically (even a shell script capable of doing this would be enough) | 06:16 |
| RenatoSilva | what time is it out tehre | 06:16 |
| meff | DBO maybe with hdparm | 06:16 |
| meff | not sure though | 06:17 |

| Benalex | Hello all, I am trying to install Intrepid Desktop from LiveCD, and I am not getting any partitions listed, Any suggests? | 06:18 |
| Petester | i wonder if there is an easy way to setup a network between two linux computers? | 06:18 |
| dinkus | elpargo.... when i'm looking online its saying i should go to language preferences and just check "chinese" as a supported language... however english is the only language listed and its listed in chinese because the ubuntu install is chinese... how do get the option for other language packs? | 06:18 |
| Hilton | So I've been having these graphic freeze-up problems with Ubuntu 8.10 (clean install). I just found the following in the X log from the last session: | 06:18 |
| Hilton | [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuckin an infinite loop. | 06:18 |
| elpargo | DBO, maybe that's your filesystems, fault. | 06:18 |
| Hilton | [mi] mieqEnequeue: out-of-order valuator event; dropping | 06:18 |
| Hilton | There are dozens of these, with 2-3 of the first line, then one of the second | 06:18 |
| maxxist | petester yes | 06:19 |
| DBO | elpargo, nah. I know its GNOME Do's fault. I wrote it to do some disk intensive things from time to time. Which is fine if the disk is spun up... | 06:19 |
| Petester | maxxist: and that is? | 06:19 |
| maxxist | petester it all depends on what you want to network | 06:19 |
| elpargo | dinkus, then you need the language packs. | 06:20 |
| Scumgrief | Hilton downgrade to 8.04 if this computer is vital to you | 06:20 |
| dinkus | right but when i search in synaptic i dont know what to search for... everything comes up empty... am i missing a repository? | 06:20 |

| KyPoHja | rpm is complex system | 06:29 |

| dazvid | Can anyone help me with configuring my mouse to NOT emulate 3 buttons? Considering all the xorg.conf howto's are obsolete | 06:32 |
| elpargo | Petester, cups, samba, many alternatives really. | 06:32 |
| KyPoHja | yeah, it means mirror and then stripe or other way around | 06:32 |
| shiki9 | elpargo:it is evenhappening to the default wallpaper that came with ubuntu | 06:32 |
| djhash | Buntu765: i'm suggesting here.. ur better off getting someone more informed.. but first I am assuming flexcam2 is a program being started by init.d.. you can remove it from init.d and then create a script.. to load flexcam2 and then load ur video conferencing program.. | 06:32 |
| KyPoHja | either way, it is gonna be 160x2 | 06:33 |
| prince_jammys | Guest41944: you provide the path when you run it, eg /some/dir/myprog args .. or ./myprog args .. (if you're in the same dir as myprog) | 06:33 |
| Buntu765 | :djhash flexcam is my web | 06:33 |
| Buntu765 | cam | 06:33 |
| Bogus8 | question... what is Nautilus using to transfer files... is it some form of rsync? | 06:33 |
| elpargo | shiki9, so it never shows the right background? | 06:33 |
| scientes | how should i remove all the gui stuff from my ubuntu install? | 06:34 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, between computers? it depends on your connection. | 06:34 |
| Bogus8 | because when you have to cancel an operation and the move that dir again it can "merge" what you ahve already moved | 06:34 |
| Guest41944 | prince_jammys: but how can i simply run an executable by name from any directory without adding to $PATH? | 06:34 |
| puzzlerok | SOmeone has to be able to help me out. I put the proper connection settings in Network Manager and it doesnt save them. It somehow switches what I entered to a 128 Hex key and puts in its own key, is this a bug? | 06:34 |
| prince_jammys | Guest41944: you can't | 06:34 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: to an external hard drive for example | 06:34 |
| elpargo | scientes, that's a lot of packages, you can start by getting rid of xorg | 06:34 |
| shiki9 | erlargo :yes it doesn't show the background just a solid brown background | 06:34 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, huh? that's normal diskIO. | 06:34 |
| prince_jammys | Guest41944: if you want to run it as just 'myprog' , then you have to add the dir it's in to your PATH | 06:34 |
| scientes | elpargo, cant i just remove all packages that somehow depend on xorg? | 06:35 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: how does it do the "merge" part? | 06:35 |
| kindofabuzz | Guest41944, ./<nameofprogram> | 06:35 |
| johnfg | Bogus8, What are you doing in nautilus to transfer files? | 06:35 |
| Guest41944 | prince_jammys hmmm i've done it before and i know it works, let me try again | 06:35 |
| elpargo | scientes, that is what removing xorg will do. | 06:35 |
| Bogus8 | johnfg: dragging and dropping the "folder" (like when I'm backing up lots of user files) | 06:35 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, merge? | 06:35 |
| scientes | hmm, it says only 25 to be freed | 06:35 |
| D1 | if i will upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10...my earlier application will run or not ? | 06:35 |
| scientes | 25k * | 06:36 |
| djhash | Buntu765: then you can remove the module.. then use the script to load the module.. | 06:36 |
| scientes | maybe i have to specify xorg version? | 06:36 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: if you have to stop the transfer or it gets stopped... when you re-initiate that same transfer again it recognizes that some files already exist and ask if you want to "merge" the folder | 06:36 |
| johnfg | OK, I agree that it's just the basic io. You could use rsync from the terminal, though. | 06:36 |
| xorlim | D1: supertux2 will crash. there will be segfaults on opera and firefox. | 06:36 |
| johnfg | I really like rsync. | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | Guest41944: alternatively, you can run it by invoking an interpreter, if applicable: bash myprog, sh myprog, python myprog, etc. | 06:36 |
| BuFF__ | i want play emulator famicom i can use apt-get or download site ? | 06:36 |
| elpargo | D1, technically yes, although some things are being reported as troublesome, just as any upgrade. | 06:36 |
| Bogus8 | johnfg: you talking to me? | 06:37 |
| djhash | Buntu765: don't ask me how.. i just know that this is a viable solution.. however its not necessary the only solution.. post in forums.. ask around.. but i thought its better to have something than nothing.. | 06:37 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, oh that's normal fileIO, it just check file by file if it was copied. | 06:37 |
| D1 | so i will have to have a internet to solve that | 06:37 |
| Bogus8 | johnfg: Ah, I got it... I misread something of yorus | 06:37 |
| scientes | hmm instaling ubuntu-mobile kinda messed up my computer and didnt fix itsself when removing i' | 06:37 |
| johnfg | Bogus8, Yeah, sorry about that. | 06:37 |
| scientes | my xchat is stuck at full screen | 06:37 |
| johnfg | Bogus8, Did you need to use rsync? | 06:38 |
| Bogus8 | so normal fileIO can do that... interesting... obviously windows can not do that | 06:38 |
| elpargo | scientes, you need to get rid of all the packages that where installed. | 06:38 |
| Bogus8 | johnfg: no, but I was just wondering if that is what it was because it sort of feels like it | 06:38 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, actually that's a feature of nautilus, cp can do that too. | 06:38 |
| compu73rg33k | is anybody interested in reading 2.5 pages about wifi encryption, email encryption with GPG and IM encryption with off-the-record? I'm writing a research paper formy Computer ENgineering class and looking for someone who knows a little about encryption to read it over and tell me if it makes sense | 06:38 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, rsync is used over a network. | 06:38 |
| scientes | argg its a pain | 06:38 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: cool... good to know as I really don't run a desktop very often... mostly for recovery off a live cd | 06:38 |
| Venin | shouldnt this only force password request every 120 minute? http://rafb.net/p/7ThNVL31.html | 06:39 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: you don't need to use rsync over the network for it to be useful | 06:39 |
| scientes | there should be a easier way | 06:39 |
| shiki9 | erlargo:i guess there is no solution to this problem | 06:39 |
| Grim_ | Who knows about mounting .iso images? I backed up one of my games into an iso image and I want to play it on my computer. Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 | 06:39 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: rsync can be useful many different ways due to it's archiving ability | 06:39 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, that fact that it works doesn't means it should be used, besides why go to the network card if you can do direct disk access? | 06:39 |
| elpargo | Grim_, several ways, if you google for "ubuntu mount iso" you will get them all. | 06:40 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: are you sure that rsync automatically goes to the NIC? I've done some VERY fast hard drive to hard drive xfers with rsync | 06:40 |
| Sertse | ubuntu is funny a times. they had a perfectly good clock settings to set up weather info and sync with ntp servers. I have no how to do it in ibex | 06:40 |
| stdin | !iso | Grim_ | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Grim_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 06:41 |
| djhash | hey.. i'm making a script that includes to kill a program using its pid.. i have a pid file.. currently my script looks like this "kill $(cat PIDFILE)" .. this atleast worked when I typed it in terminal.. the question is.. will that work inside a script? or is there a better way (a more linuxy way) | 06:41 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, not really, maybe there is a shortcut in the source. but then why not use cp? | 06:41 |
| Venin | isnt this the correct syntax in sudoers file? Defaultsenv_reset, timestamp_timeout=120 | 06:42 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: because rsync -a automatically "sync's" things and make sure anything that has changed is updated | 06:42 |
| elpargo | djhash, that works, also `cat file` | 06:42 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: and you can use -n to do test runs to see how much is trying to get transfered if you are having trouble and trying to sort out where the problem is | 06:42 |
| djhash | elpargo: those are backticks.. right? | 06:43 |
| prince_jammys | djhash: $( ) is preferred | 06:43 |
| faryshta | XFCE rules. | 06:43 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, sure those are it's features. | 06:43 |
| elpargo | djhash, yes | 06:43 |
| maxxist | faryshta it certainly does. I am in love with it these days | 06:44 |
| stdin | Venin: looks like it, but if you use "sudo visudo" it will stop you from messing it up | 06:44 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: so when moving lots of data why not use something that can be redone if you forgot a certain switch and only transfered half of your data | 06:44 |
| Ayabara | I just connected a secondary display to my laptop, and changed screen resolution. Now I can move my cursor all over both screens, but my applications can't be placed to the right on the screen to the right. I can however move them out of the left display (to the left) | 06:44 |
| faryshta | I actually find funny how the forums fill with "GNOME DON'T HAVE ANY FEATURE" and "KDE CRASHED" jejeje. | 06:44 |
| BitWise | anyone know how to keep join/parts in xchat-gnome off? | 06:45 |
| djhash | prince_jammys: elparg: is there somewhere either of you can direct me to read about these syntaxes? | 06:45 |
| Venin | stdin: i know.. but it doesnt work | 06:45 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, isn't that what merge does? | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | djhash: #bash | 06:45 |
| faryshta | I would love to learn if I can put tabs on X-Chat. | 06:45 |
| Venin | stdin: i still get asked for password quite oftenly | 06:45 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: is merge a command line app? | 06:45 |
| djhash | prince_jammys: thanks | 06:45 |
| Uplink | how can i remove old kernels | 06:45 |
| faryshta | maxxxist good to know I am not alone with this XFCE stuff. jejeje. | 06:46 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, eh? no the merge of nautilus. | 06:46 |
| redfish | BitWise, that is annoying isn't it? I just stick with x-chat... like it better anyway. | 06:46 |
| prince_jammys | djhash: read the guide in the topic of the channel, and hang out there if you want to learn bash. | 06:46 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: ah, because as I said, I rarely use a desktop with linux... mainly as a recovery tool via a live cd | 06:46 |
| djhash | prince_jammys: awesome.. thanks alot.. | 06:46 |
| BitWise | redfish: hmm, i'll check it out. | 06:46 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: but I have several headless servers with no X | 06:47 |
| ooglebutte | Uplink: you can remove them in synaptic | 06:47 |
| maxxist | faryshta yeah xfce comes with so many sweet themes. its really fast. It runs all gnome stuff no problem. I dont miss gnome at all. | 06:47 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, as far as I can tell merge will make sure all files in src are present in dest, but not dest in src, | 06:47 |
| admin_masu3701 | hey guys...i have a question... | 06:47 |
| faryshta | The only thing I miss is the cube but I never really used it. | 06:47 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: right, simiilar to rsync which is why I thought maybe Nautilus might have just been calling rsync | 06:48 |
| faryshta | My computer is 2 years old but runs faster than the new ones at work. | 06:48 |
| maxxist | faryshta yeah some of the compiz goodies were nice to play with. but only for show and tell. I too didnt use them much | 06:48 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, if you really want this integration I suggest you take a look at nautilus-script, you can write a bash script to call rsync. | 06:48 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: nope, not looking to do the intergration... just wondering if that is how Nautilus was doing it, or if it was something written into Nautilus as I find it very nifty | 06:49 |
| maxxist | admin_masu3710 just ask. dont ask to ask | 06:49 |
| admin_masu3701 | i wrote a lil script that stores user name and id into a dictionary file...the key is the user id.. | 06:49 |
| goth | hi.... | 06:49 |
| Venin | stdin: maybe i should separate it with a space and not a comma? | 06:49 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, for that you will need to either ask in a gnome channel, or go read the source, but I'm almost certain they wrote their own. | 06:50 |
| Venin | Defaultsenv_reset timestamp_timeout=120 | 06:50 |
| Venin | like that? | 06:50 |
| Uplink | so how exactly do i remove my old kernels | 06:50 |
| Bogus8 | elpargo: cool, thanks for the discussion | 06:50 |
| admin_masu3701 | now i want to add more user information such as phone number and address...what should i use instead of dictionary? | 06:50 |
| faryshta | I heard about one of the Ubuntu Developers made a CD of metal music. How true is that? | 06:50 |
| elpargo | Uplink, just uninstall the packages. | 06:50 |
| elpargo | Bogus8, welcome :) | 06:50 |

| ushimitsudoki | faryshta: yes. jono bacon. the project name is severed fifth if you want to google it | 06:51 |
| elpargo | admin_masu3701, what is a "dictionary file" and what language? | 06:51 |

| elpargo | Uplink, open synaptics and look for linux | 06:52 |
| faryshta | Have someone here tried LXDE? | 06:52 |
| ushimitsudoki | faryshta: yes. it is nice, but eventually i settled on XFCE for my desktop. it is worth a look i would say | 06:53 |
| IcemanV9 | Uplink: when you remove old image, it'll remove from the grub automatically | 06:53 |
| admin_masu3701 | sorry this is wrong chennel to ask about python | 06:53 |
| faryshta | Thanks ushi, I was using it but my computer started to heat up a lot so I changed back to XFCE, and besides LXDE is to much like W.XP that brings me bad memories jejeje. | 06:53 |
| Uplink | IcemanV9: oh sweet thanx... synaptic will do the job right? what if i feel more comfortable with "sudo aptitude remove <package>" ??? | 06:54 |
| elpargo | admin_masu3701, yes use #python. | 06:54 |
| faryshta | admin_masu3701 I don't know many about python but I have worked on C++ and pHp, maybe I can help. | 06:54 |
| prince_jammys | Uplink: if you like aptitude, then do 'sudo aptitude' and look at the list of 'obsolete packages' | 06:55 |
| IcemanV9 | Uplink: i always use cli .. so the short answer is yes. the command will work. | 06:55 |
| Uplink | prince_jammys: kk thanx..... | 06:55 |
| Uplink | IcemanV9: cli? | 06:55 |
| IcemanV9 | Uplink: sorry. command line == cli | 06:56 |

| q0r3 | hey all. i like how ubuntu allows me to access remote drives through ssh under places -> connect to server. but it seems that i can only access this through nautilus. for instance, if i want to save a file to that location through firefox, the server isn't visible in the 'places' menu on the right hand side of the save file dialogue. is there a way around this? where, exactly, are these remote folders being mounted? | 06:58 |

| Scumgrief | yeah | 06:58 |
| nirupama | and when the gtalk window opens it is blank and hangs | 06:58 |

| johnny_ | or many ati chipsets | 07:10 |
| faryshta | I have no idea what is optical audio but try this. | 07:10 |
| johnny_ | that have completely open drivers | 07:10 |
| Fiberchunks | well, I _need_ good 3d compatibility, and as we all know ati sucks, and I'm not too keen on intel's chipsets --- yet | 07:10 |
| faryshta | On terminal type "lspci". | 07:10 |
| b33r | johnny_, nvidia > ati | 07:10 |
| johnny_ | b33r, yeah right | 07:10 |
| johnny_ | their drivers blow | 07:10 |
| johnny_ | have to wait ages for new stuff | 07:10 |
| b33r | nvidias? | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | they provide thier own GL | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | yeah.. they provide their own GL exetnsion | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | it means .. | 07:11 |
| t0406peru | k, now what? | 07:11 |
| faryshta | and try to find anything which say sound or something. | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | that i can't even use my thin clients | 07:11 |
| Fiberchunks | I am not averse to using proprietary drivers, more important is a usable system | 07:11 |
| b33r | never had any problems with nvidia drivers | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | ati open drivers are decent with the right card | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | b33r, you're not a developer.. | 07:11 |
| b33r | true | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | try upgrading to newer kernels before THEY DECIDE YOU CAN | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | or checking out newer xorgs.. BEFORE THEY DECIDE YOU CAN | 07:11 |
| johnny_ | you have to wait on them all the time | 07:11 |

| brand0con | arooni-mobile: ive never done had to do that before but sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla | 07:12 |
| johnny_ | unless you are developing them :) | 07:12 |

| Frogzoo | FAJALOU: turn off your computer, open it up, and push the memory slots down hard, then try again - if nothing works, replace the ram | 07:14 |
| elpargo | johnny_, ati x300? | 07:14 |
| johnny_ | elpargo, ??? | 07:14 |
| brand0con | FAJALOU: if you failed memtest ur pretty much sunk | 07:14 |
| elpargo | johnny_, nm then, | 07:14 |
| faryshta | I think the problem of FAJALOU is because of drivers, maybe the GPU. | 07:14 |
| minion007 | i have an acer laptop with an intel express gfx on board. i have 2gigs ram and 1.7 centrino. will compiz fusion work on it? | 07:15 |
| johnny_ | i actually had an ati x300 in my server box.. the xrandr worked ouf the box. i had screen rotation, screen merging, etc | 07:15 |
| FAJALOU | brand0con: even if it had been woring fine? | 07:15 |
| johnny_ | minion007, most likely | 07:15 |

| WIGGMPk | Is there a way to adjust/tweak CPU throttling in Hardy Heron? The new version of Ubuntu Tweak for some reason does not support it anymore. Any thoughts??? | 07:16 |
| johnny_ | what is ubuntu tweak?? | 07:16 |
| brand0con | FAJALOU: ram can go bad, just a sad fact of life. Frogzoo is right, you should reseat the ram first of all but if you get the same memtest result, then it's surely bad | 07:17 |
| johnny_ | why would you need that.. can't you just use the applet cpu frequency scaling applet in the panel? | 07:17 |
| johnny_ | either that.. or the cpufreq-set on the command line | 07:17 |
| brand0con | doesnt matter what the error codes are, its either good or bad ram | 07:17 |
| FAJALOU | more errors,,, joy | 07:17 |
| johnny_ | ok.. lemme try again | 07:17 |
| WIGGMPk | johnny_: Ubuntu Tweak is a nice little program that makes it easier to adjust some settings in ubuntu.. what about these other options you mentioned? | 07:18 |
| FAJALOU | brand0con: i was thinking that it just overheated? | 07:18 |
| ooglebutte | t0406peru: no - just needs sme setting up and the link tells all about it | 07:18 |
| johnny_ | i tried upgrading my ubuntu machine from hardy to intrepid, it failed somewhere due to a manually installed copy of python-setuptools (i'm not the only one who admins this box), now i'm stuck with a box that is not finished upgrading, what can i do? | 07:18 |
| FAJALOU | could it possibly have anything to do with an overheating gpu? | 07:18 |
| brand0con | FAJALOU: certainly possible in a laptop. what makes you think it overheated | 07:19 |
| johnny_ | it says Bad upgrade: 'intrepid' != 'gutsy" on the console | 07:19 |
| johnny_ | BUT I"M UPGRADING FROM HARDY! | 07:19 |
| KenSentMe | Im running World of Warcraft in Wine. Since the update to Intrepid my sound is really bad and cracking. What is the preferred sound driver to use in Wine, alsa, esound? | 07:19 |
| FAJALOU | brand0con: it's been running for a long time; and this specific laptop model has had overheating issues in the past (like things catching on fire bad) | 07:20 |
| johnny_ | :( | 07:20 |
| t0406peru | ooglebutte, what link... I didn't see a link. | 07:20 |
| WIGGMPk | KenSentMe: I would say ALSA, but I think that question is better suited for #wine | 07:20 |

| msandbu | hi! anyone know of any other terminal based irc client ? | 07:23 |
| IcemanV9 | johnny_: it had happened to me once ... i don't remember how i fix it at the moment | 07:23 |
| msandbu | besides irssi | 07:23 |
| johnny_ | irssi msandbu | 07:23 |
| johnny_ | that is the good one | 07:23 |
| faryshta | FAJALOU, your problem is definitely a heat problem, is more a technical issue than software, maybe will be good to get tech support about your hardware. | 07:24 |
| johnny_ | bitchx is the other, but i don't even know if it is maintained, oh.. finch.. which is the cli version of pidgin, but it probably isn't all that good at irc.. | 07:24 |
| IcemanV9 | msandbu: bitchx? | 07:24 |
| johnny_ | irssi >>>>> bitchx .. nobody i know uses bitchx since irssi came out | 07:24 |
| FAJALOU | brand0con: it's been an issue on this model for a long time: and no new laptop; apparently it's a design flaw where dust can get into it and such... | 07:25 |

| prince_jammys | johnny_: what a crappy error message | 07:34 |
| johnny_ | it never should have hard failed, it should have told me i had a local copy of setuptools installed .. just like it does with config files.. | 07:35 |

| johnny_ | there are editors that make it easier to comment blocks tho.. like the editor in gnome (or vi itself) | 07:37 |
| johnny_ | no | 07:37 |
| abe3k | ok thanks | 07:38 |
| johnny_ | if you have the proper plugin for gedit, you can highlight large blocks and comment it all at once.. or uncomment | 07:38 |

| spolvid | OK, I need lots of help. Right now I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Mac Mini, and for some reason the CD installer can't see my external drives (one of which being the drive I want to install onto) from the live session. It can see them if I go to the installer straight from the CD splash screen, however, but I can't do that because the installer fails as soon as it installs GRUB, and according to macubuntu.blogspot.com this is beca | 07:42 |

| Fiberchunks | and more importantly, regular security updates and so forth as necessary | 07:54 |
| johnny_ | you only get real support past1 year.. if you pay | 07:55 |
| Fiberchunks | I'm more concerned (as far as servers go), with the ability to maintain my security patches and updates -- I don't care about new functionality anywhere near as much for a server | 07:55 |

| siccness | Ecunny: yes but do you know what those numbers represent | 08:58 |
| Ecunny | Nope :) | 08:58 |
| siccness | first number is owner, second number is group, third number is other | 08:58 |

| Ecunny | ah, ok | 09:00 |
| Ecunny | it's the intranet so everyone should be aloowed access | 09:00 |

| erki | balle_: Umm, no, I don't think so. | 09:03 |
| erki | balle_: Either way, if you left click the network icon you should get a list of wireless networks. | 09:03 |
| the-erm | anyone in here ever use apt-p2p ? and if so do you think you could run it with apt-proxy-ng? | 09:04 |
| erki | balle_: And right-clicking just gives you some checkboxes and stuff. | 09:04 |
| balle_ | erki: then i don't have it and the network-config thing doesn't do that and are you sure you're talking 8.10? cause 8.04 had it for sure but i can't find it in this one | 09:04 |
| erki | balle_: Then try apt-getting them. Like "apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome". | 09:05 |
| balle_ | erki: will do thx man | 09:05 |
| erki | balle_: Very wierd that it's missing though. I installed Intrepid yesterday, and I'm almost certain it was there by default... | 09:05 |
| ziroday | erki: balle_ network-manager is included in intrepid by default | 09:06 |
| erki | ziroday: I suspected as much. I wonder where it went on balle_s install... | 09:06 |
| balle_ | ziroday: do you know the code for it in terminal? | 09:07 |
| ziroday | balle_: the code for what? | 09:07 |
| balle_ | ziroday: because i can't find it anywhere only network config and that's crap code for the network-manager? because network manager doesnt work | 09:08 |
| th3_b0b | schlort: a second question: How can I tell (or even: configure) how often the "dynamic" info (Processes, Load, users...) is updated? I logged in a second and third user but the motd still says "1 user", Process-Count is wrong as well... | 09:08 |

| ziroday | NeoGeo64: try the livecd to make sure there is nothing glaringly broken, then sure, go ahead | 09:10 |
| schlort | th3_b0b: i have no idea about that one | 09:10 |

| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: i wasnt aware of that i allways start my apps with alt +f2 also firefox asf aso | 09:57 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: you "can" do it, but your making it hard for yourself | 09:57 |
| remoteCTR1 | gammy: that is a hot hint thanks | 09:57 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: why do you launch firefox from a terminal, there is a launcher on your desktop - just click the icon | 09:57 |
| carlinhos | hi, i would like to know which video drivers am i using now, how can i know it? | 09:57 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: nope there isnt:) | 09:58 |
| aLeSD | hi all ... what's the name of the application that let me burn an usbdrive to boot ubuntu ? | 09:58 |
| gammy | ikonia: I think he means the quickstart in gnome. The default shortcut is alt+f2. CTRL+ALT+F2 is console.. | 09:58 |
| abhinav | hi i got a problem of fonts in ubuntu | 09:58 |
| brad1 | pajamian: same result | 09:58 |
| aLeSD | cause I'm using xubuntu and I'd like to install it | 09:58 |
| ikonia | gammy: ahhhh ok, that makes more sense | 09:58 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: Do you mean that you're running it from the quicklauncher or a real console? | 09:58 |
| raheem | ikonia: i believe he is right :) | 09:58 |
| pajamian | brad1: ok, try to reboot now and see what it does. | 09:58 |
| CSWScrooge | hi dear gurus :) | 09:58 |

| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: as said i start ALL of my apps like that no matter if firefox, thunderbird, amarok, console, whatever | 09:58 |
| ikonia | raheem: who ? | 09:58 |
| prince_jammys | ikonia: NOW i understand what you were saying! | 09:58 |
| prince_jammys | ikonia: i was like .. what? tty? | 09:58 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: yeah when you say alt+f2 you mean the gnome quickstart, right? | 09:58 |
| remoteCTR1 | gammy: i enter matlab into alt +f2 | 09:58 |
| raheem | in gnome the short cut is ALT+f2 | 09:58 |
| ballongen | i think this is weird. the 8.04 version and older worked fine on this computer, this 8.10 version only gives me horizental stripes when the gdm should load | 09:58 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: why do you have no icons setup, what "desktop" are you using | 09:59 |
| ballongen | when the login should load even. | 09:59 |
| remoteCTR1 | gammy: i frankly spoken have no idea what that is called | 09:59 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1: yes however alt+f2 is not a "terminal" so I assume he was swapping to a tty | 09:59 |
| CSWScrooge | I have a problem with wireless wpa2 encryption after distribution upgrade to intrepid. Someone here who could help? | 09:59 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: nomral gnome desktop but i got like 2 gazillion documents on my desktop and no launchers | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:59 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: me neither. But, when you hit alt+f2, what happens? You get a thing that lets you start applications by typing the name of it in, right? | 09:59 |
| remoteCTR1 | gammy: precisely | 09:59 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: It's known as "run application" I think. | 09:59 |
| gammy | Yeah. | 09:59 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 the launcher is in the applications drop down menu - not actually on your desktop | 09:59 |
| * ActionParsnip uses tilde to show his launcher | 10:00 | |
| raheem | remoteCTR1: Applications > Accessories > Terminal | 10:00 |

| ikonia | remoteCTR1: so open a terminal from applications -> accessories -> terminal and launch matlab in there, then you will get some debugging output | 10:01 |
| aLeSD | pajamian thanks | 10:01 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: Ok. So what happens if you do what I said previously and look in the .log ? | 10:01 |
| prince_jammys | sigh | 10:01 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: Ie, alt+f2, type in the program followed by > /tmp/foo.log 2>&1 and then reading /tmp/foo.log | 10:01 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: What was it? Mat lab? | 10:01 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: from console it works just fine, no errors no nothing, but gammy just a sec ill try it out | 10:01 |

| Kartagis | and does anyone know where thunderbird keeps newsgroup passwords? | 10:05 |
| prince_jammys | He means 'when running it from an x terminal, it works fine. but from gnome-run, or whatever, it doesn't work. which suggests that the program needs to be attached to a terminal to run properly, or run with some options that allow it to be run without an attached terminal.' | 10:05 |
| raheem | remoteCTR1: it is called a terminal :) | 10:05 |

| remoteCTR1 | so what is the difference between a console and a terminal? | 10:06 |
| pogztimz | how do i backup settings/config of a server? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | prince_jammys it's going to be the shell environment such as PATH or soemthing as it's different for gnome as it is for a login shell | 10:06 |
| rubydiamond | I copy in terminal .. then try to paste.. its not getting pasted | 10:06 |
| raheem | !terminal | 10:06 |

| gammy | remoteCTR1: Nono think of it like this: When run from the "run application" it isn't run in a terminal per se. | 10:06 |
| rubydiamond | its pasting old value | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | CSWScrooge: you could boot to livecd and run lshw -C network to see whats gong on. run it on your installed system and comare | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | CSWScrooge: maybe you are using a bad driver | 10:06 |

| gammy | remoteCTR1: When creating such a link you can check it to run in a terminal. | 10:07 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: This should probably solve your problem. | 10:08 |
| hardikar | hello | 10:08 |
| remoteCTR1 | gammy: would be best i guess or just keep on opening it from within a terminal | 10:08 |
| prince_jammys | gee, that sounds like what i recommended about a half hour ago | 10:08 |
| remoteCTR1 | prince_jammys: heh | 10:08 |
| CSWScrooge | ActionParsnip: ok, but that will take a few minutes | 10:08 |
| |neon| | after i change my desktop theme settings everything works ok, however the settings are lost everytime i reboot, how can i make the settings stay after rebooting (GNOME) | 10:08 |
| gammy | remoteCTR1: another trick might be to do "bash -c matlab" from alt+f2 | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTR1: terminal is the program, it is an input console to the kernel | 10:09 |

| remoteCTR1 | ActionParsnip: ha! there you said it its an input console to the kernel!:) in kde it is even called Konsole | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTR1: thats WHY its called konsole | 10:10 |
| gammy | prince_jammys: Ah silly me | 10:10 |
| remoteCTR1 | gammy: allready did, works just fine but as said opens a terminal along with matlab, guess i gonna have to live with that | 10:10 |
| remoteCTR1 | ActionParsnip: so it is called so but it isnt one? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | remoteCTR1 create a gnome launcher | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTR1: if you stick to terminal, noobs will get what you mean, its just less confusing but now you know whats what | 10:11 |
| pajamian | remoteCTR1: you can try running it inside a login shell instead. | 10:11 |
| remoteCTR1 | ActionParsnip: let me put the question in other words: what is it that you call a console then? only the ttys or what? | 10:11 |

| norbert79 | CSWScrooge: I've sent you some messages in query, please take a look on them if you will have some time | 10:11 |

| ActionParsnip | remoteCTR1: tilda is for gnome, yakuake is the kde equiv | 10:15 |
| remoteCTR1 | ikonia: BECAUSE i wanst aware that there is a difference between invoking something from alt +f2 and from a terminal that is what i basically wanted, to learn the difference | 10:16 |
| remoteCTR1 | ActionParsnip: so tilda it is | 10:16 |

| LoveGuru | howto add user in ubuntu | 11:24 |
| norbert79 | adduser or you use the graphical setting window | 11:25 |
| brad1 | pajamian: i cannot view anything that happens before the error messages i have shown you ... the comp wont accept any input | 11:25 |
| === cakey is now known as cakey|starcraft | ||
| norbert79 | LoveGuru: adduser in CLI, or in GUI System/Administration/User managment | 11:25 |
| LoveGuru | in terminal | 11:25 |
| LoveGuru | CLI | 11:25 |
| pajamian | brad1: can you remember the exact error message you get when you try to mount the partition in the recovery mode? | 11:25 |
| norbert79 | Yes | 11:25 |
| norbert79 | CLI=Command Line Interface | 11:26 |
| brad1 | argh | 11:26 |
| LoveGuru | yea how can i add user using CLI ? through cmd | 11:26 |
| brad1 | pajamian: it says it mounts | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | LoveGuru: do you use tilda/yakuake? | 11:26 |
| norbert79 | LordC: Of course, like every other Unix/Unix like system you have to use 'adduser' | 11:26 |

| ThRixXx | !sonata | 11:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sonata | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !info sonata | 11:27 |
| ubottu | sonata (source: sonata): GTK+ client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.2-2 (intrepid), package size 286 kB, installed size 1220 kB | 11:27 |
| brad1 | pajamian: other than that all i can remember is that it says it is rw, error=ro or something along those lines | 11:27 |
| ThRixXx | ty, can anyone tell me how to play mp3's via sonata ? | 11:27 |
| prince_jammys | ThRixXx: are you able to play mp3s with other players? ie. is it only a sonata problem? | 11:28 |
| ThRixXx | yip | 11:28 |
| pajamian | brad1: well, that could give a clue as to why it's not mounting rw. Barring that at this stage I would say your best option is to probably copy the data off the partition (back it up somwhere), re-init the partition and copy the data back. I would suggest you try to get the error message from when you mount the partition first to see if it might be helpful. | 11:28 |
| Petester | is it possible to save a file from a repo instead of downlaod + instal it? | 11:28 |
| ThRixXx | there isn't a way to add mp3's to the playlist | 11:29 |
| prince_jammys | Petester: yes | 11:29 |
| Petester | and how should i do it? | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: are you using UUIDS when you mount (I'm assuming its an NTFS partition) | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Petester: man apt-get | 11:29 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: what is uuids? | 11:29 |
| Petester | i see, thanks | 11:30 |
| prince_jammys | Petester: --download-only, i think. | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: its how you can grant users writability. is it an NTFS partition you are mountinig? | 11:30 |
| LoveGuru | thanks ActionParsnip | 11:30 |
| brad1 | yes it is ntfs | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | LoveGuru: do you use yakuake / tilda? | 11:30 |
| Deezey | Howdy. | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: and you are adding a line to fstab? | 11:30 |
| Petester | let me ry that | 11:30 |
| Petester | thanks | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: do you have ntfs3g installed? | 11:31 |
| Deezey | Well, tried Fedora, came back to Ubuntu. | 11:31 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: no i dont | 11:31 |
| prince_jammys | Petester: but yeah, look at the man page to see where it gets downloaded to. | 11:31 |
| TwistedAx | Installed Wubi (linux inside windows installer), i can boot, but i get a problem with apic, and cannot access /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.list using a live disk to change the setting so it will boot properly, is there a way to do this from within windows? | 11:31 |
| Petester | "man page" is..? | 11:31 |
| prince_jammys | Petester: 'man apt-get' | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: ok what is the name of the partition? /dev/? | 11:31 |
| Petester | oh okay. | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Petester: man apt-get | 11:31 |
| prince_jammys | Petester: synaptic might also do it. i don't know | 11:31 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: /dev/sda1 | 11:31 |
| carlinhos | ActionParsnip: what do i have to do now? it shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/68333/ | 11:32 |

| Petester | how should i fix it? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | carlinhos: have you rebooted? | 11:32 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: sorry i dont follow | 11:32 |
| ThRixXx | how do I add mp3 files to Sonata's playlist ? | 11:32 |
| carlinhos | ActionParsnip: ahh, ok ok, see you now | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: you mount the partition to an empty folder | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: will /media/stuff do you? | 11:33 |
| syed | Please help me as I am running into problems with ubuntu upgradation from 8.04 to 8.10. please have a look at this: http://pastebin.com/m2de37190 | 11:33 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: i may have misunderstood your question... /dev/sda1 is where i find it when i mount it | 11:33 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: when i mount on this livecd it is under /media/disk | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: oic, there will probably be a folder in /media named sda1, am i right? | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | brad: clear; cd /media; ls | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: do you see sda1 as a folder name? | 11:34 |
| pajamian | ActionParsnip: it's his root partition | 11:34 |
| pajamian | ActionParsnip: and it's ext3 according to his fstab | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | pajamian: he said it was ntfs (?) | 11:35 |
| pajamian | ActionParsnip: this is his fstab that he pasted earlier: http://pastebin.com/d74c15449 | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | pajamian: brad1: yes it is ntfs | 11:35 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: argh im sorry it is ext3 ... im used to using ntfs | 11:36 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: sorry, im sick and its getting late here | 11:36 |

| brad1 | actionparsnip: ok ... how can i fix this from a livecd? | 11:39 |
| pajamian | brad1: I think ActionParsnip meant to say that ntfs is garbage compared to ext3 | 11:39 |
| carlinhos | ActionParsnip: where do i set it in xorg? with "1024x768"? | 11:39 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: umm well i was able to edit fstab as root | 11:39 |
| brad1 | pajamian: yer i guessed .. thnx :P | 11:40 |
| plouffe | In my updates under Distribution updates it lists "ubuntu-desktop", but I cannot check it and include it in the updates I install. Why is that? | 11:40 |

| brad1 | actionparsnip: i can write to the disk as root | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: compare my fstab to yours | 11:42 |
| pajamian | ActionParsnip: what happened is brad1 ran fsck on his partition, blindly answered yes to all the prompts and now it mounts read only at boot time causing loads of errors when it trys to write to critical files. | 11:44 |

| ActionParsnip | mrmikejg: the name of the computer you want the ip of | 11:51 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: what's the current line in your fstab? mine is this: UUID=94blahblahblah / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 11:52 |
| mrmikejg | ActionParsnip, is there a way of obtaining that info just from them being connected? | 11:52 |
| carlinhos | ActionParsnip: how can i open fstab? | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mrmikejg: you could look in your routers dhcp table | 11:52 |
| brad1 | # /dev/sda1 | 11:52 |
| pajamian | mrmikejg: you can usually get the IPs by logging into the router via your browser. | 11:52 |
| brad1 | UUID=0bbccece-1e88-4b61-b20f-2e9cab4af7d5 / ext3 defaults, 0 1 | 11:52 |

| ActionParsnip | carlinhos: you dont need to i mixed names | 11:52 |
| prince_jammys | Petester: cool | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | carlinhos: have a web browse round for your graphics card make and model, there will be sample xorg.conf file all over the place | 11:53 |
| Petester | it was so much easier to my laptop's ar242x | 11:53 |
| Petester | lol | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Petester: np man | 11:53 |
| mrmikejg | ActionParsnip, so i need to someone access my router info? hmm...lol | 11:53 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: try what i posted, with your UUID, obviously. watch the spaces. (you have a trailing comma, btw) | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | mrmikejg: yeah, web browse to its ip and login, there will be a list there | 11:54 |
| carlinhos | ActionParsnip: oks, i'll try to find it. no more ideas? | 11:54 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: it may be that you are mounting read-only because there are errors. | 11:54 |

| mrmikejg | ActionParsnip, do you know where i could obtain info on how to log into the router | 11:55 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: look at dmesg | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mrmikejg: ifconfig, its your default gateway ip | 11:56 |

| brad1 | prince_jammys: what am i looking for? | 11:56 |

| zabeehkhan | sudo apt-get install locales localeconf .. says "localeconf package not available"? | 12:02 |
| mrmikejg | ActionParsnip, got it! | 12:02 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: that if you can't write to the partition, then there'll be no log | 12:02 |
| shiki9 | scientes: with gui (gnome with compiz running) | 12:02 |
| pajamian | brad1: that there won't be anything useful logged in dmesg because it can't mount the partition rw in order to log it. | 12:02 |
| zabeehkhan | so how can I get it? | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | zabeehkhan: try tab completing the package names after a few charaters in | 12:02 |
| zabeehkhan | Couldn't find package localeconf | 12:02 |
| norbert79 | zabeehkhan: You must define the exact package name you are looking for. use apt-cache search for finding the right package | 12:02 |
| zabeehkhan | that is the message given | 12:02 |
| norbert79 | zabeehkhan: 'apt-cache search <something>' | 12:03 |

| brad1 | ok ummm well if i can write to the file system using a launcher command ... cant i use dmesg in the same sort of way? | 12:03 |
| |neon| | after i change my desktop theme settings everything works ok, however the settings are lost everytime i reboot, how can i make the settings stay after rebooting (GNOME) | 12:03 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: are you able to mount it from a live cd? | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zabeehkhan: if you press tab a few times after typing sudo apt-get install local and see what pops on the screen | 12:03 |
| scientes | shiki9, yesterday my firefox got to 1.5g | 12:03 |
| julian | is there a way to automatically make/compile things on a kernel update? | 12:04 |
| zabeehkhan | ok | 12:04 |
| scientes | shiki9, and right now its at 1.2 | 12:04 |
| shiki9 | wow | 12:04 |
| pajamian | brad1: sure, but the error message can't be written to dmesg because the drive is mounted read only at that time. | 12:04 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: if you try to mount it as writeable from the live cd, you may then get hints as to what the error is. | 12:04 |
| brad1 | prince_jammys : im talking to u from a live cd ... thats the only one i can access my comp ... and yes it mounts and i can read/write | 12:04 |
| shiki9 | firefox is a memory hog | 12:04 |
| scientes | shiki9, thats why i cant wait till chromium is compiled for linux | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | shiki9: could use opera, i think its groovy | 12:04 |
| zabeehkhan | it prints "localechooser-data locales " | 12:04 |
| prince_jammys | pajamian: do you have any idea why that is? no errors when mounting rw from a live cd | 12:05 |
| shiki9 | ok | 12:05 |
| brad1 | pajamian/prince_jammys: i CAN read/write to the disk using this live cd | 12:05 |

| shiki9 | so i guess i'll be fine with my 1GB of ram | 12:05 |
| soho | is somebody haveing a dual-boot-system with a truecrypt-encryption for windows? | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | shiki9: thats all i have too | 12:05 |
| shiki9 | ok | 12:06 |
| pajamian | prince_jammys: well, I think because it doesn't use the errors=remount-ro flag when you mount it from the live CD, so it will mount rw with errors (I think). But it could also be doing that if the UUID in fstab is wrong. | 12:06 |
| scientes | the apt-get remove apt-get autoremove didnt work how do i troubleshoot??? | 12:06 |

| brad1 | pajamian : following advice from the net .. i compared the uuid in fstab with somewhere else ( i cant remember) ... and it was the same | 12:06 |
| mrmikejg | ActionParsnip, hmm i can't nslookup either the ip or the <name> | 12:06 |

| ActionParsnip | mrmikejg: i thought you wanted the ip from the name? | 12:08 |
| pajamian | brad1: ActionParsnip: prince_jammys: I think that if the actual problem can't be found then backup, reformat, and restore should fix it. | 12:08 |

| mrmikejg | ActionParsnip, i got both ip and name, not i just want to play around with some commands | 12:08 |
| norbert79 | vlitzer: for avoiding big updates, use getdeb.net | 12:08 |

| prince_jammys | pajamian: if the UUID were wrong, wouldn't it just not mount at all? | 12:09 |

| pajamian | brad1: well that or just do a reinstall. No doubt I am missing something though. | 12:09 |
| shiki9 | ok | 12:09 |
| brad1 | pajamian: u said something before about the livecd mounting the disk with errors ... can i get it to do that at boot ? | 12:09 |

| brad1 | pajamian: what is mtab and what relation does it have to fstab? | 12:10 |
| brad1 | actionparsnip: I already did | 12:11 |
| brad1 | ActionParsnip: but just to double check ... how do i go about doing that? | 12:11 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: there is a flag 'errors=continue' | 12:11 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: sudo blkid | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: no idea mate | 12:11 |
| soho | is somebody haveing a dual-boot-system with a truecrypt-encryption for windows? | 12:11 |
| pajamian | brad1: I think mtab is a list of currently mounted drives. | 12:12 |
| brad1 | prince_jammys: u want me to add that to fstab? | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | brad1: can we have the output of the mount command please | 12:12 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: no. that shows you the uuids | 12:12 |
| pajamian | brad1: you would replace errors=remount-ro with that flag, but use it at your own risk, it can be dangerous. | 12:12 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: oh, the errors=continue. yes, you could try | 12:12 |
| brad1 | prince_jammys: no sorry the thing u said before that ... about the flag error=continue | 12:13 |

| Pingviller25 | Slart: ;) oki, bit annoying to have the sound crashing once every day at average though :( soon jumping back to windows until I know what to do about it ;) | 12:35 |

| ikonia | x-ip you can limit cpu usage on a per core limit, and maybe (not sure) on a percentage limit | 12:37 |

| jrib | kri: yes. Did you try gnome-commander? Why don't you just use mc if you want something like mc? | 12:53 |
| ikonia | Stargazer it's not a bug | 12:53 |
| scientes | its a feature!!!! | 12:54 |
| Stargazer | Ikonia, it's a bug nonetheless. i can't use intrepid with it happening. | 12:54 |
| jrib | Stargazer: what bug? link? | 12:54 |
| ikonia | Stargazer what ???? | 12:54 |
| ikonia | Stargazer: you asked if you could use tabbed nautilus on 8.04 | 12:54 |
| ikonia | Stargazer now you say you can't use 8.10 with out "it" happening, what is it ? | 12:55 |
| Stargazer | Ikonia: and you said i needed to uprgrade, which i can't cause of a resolution issue. | 12:55 |
| ikonia | Stargazer that will depend on your video card and their driver support | 12:55 |
| Stargazer | Ikonia, intel. | 12:55 |
| ikonia | Stargazer most intel cards are support fine, (I assume this is a laptop) | 12:56 |
| sloopy | Stargazer, intel 845 video? | 12:56 |
| jrib | Stargazer: my intel card works fine so you need to be more specific | 12:56 |
| Stargazer | Hmm | 12:56 |
| Stargazer | How do i find out what card i have ? | 12:56 |
| titon | anyone know why the menues are gone? | 12:56 |
| sloopy | Stargazer, sudo lspci | 12:57 |
| ikonia | titon what menus ? | 12:57 |
| sloopy | Stargazer, sudo lspci | grep VGA | 12:57 |
| sloopy | sry | 12:57 |

| NicEXE | what should I do in order to be able to run 32 bit apps on my Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit? | 12:58 |
| ikonia | NicEXE it's not advised, what are you tyring to run ? | 12:58 |

| werdnus | and a few others, mounting /sys on /root/sys | 12:59 |
| ikonia | NicEXE what's the problem with 9 ? | 12:59 |
| norbert79 | ikk-irssi: Oh, thats something different. You will need to have npluginwrapper, as 32 bit flash works only with 32 bit Browsers | 12:59 |
| jrib | Stargazer: I still don't know what the bug is | 12:59 |
| norbert79 | Sorry, was meant for NicEXE | 12:59 |
| ikonia | titon: thats quite odd | 12:59 |
| === Trakers is now known as Trakers_ | ||
| NicEXE | ikonia: I don't have the 9 eather | 12:59 |
| === Trakers_ is now known as Trakers | ||
| norbert79 | NicEXE: For 64 Browser you will need to install nspluginwrapper | 13:00 |
| ikonia | NicEXE: do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" it will do it for you | 13:00 |
| jrib | norbert79: that happens automatically when you install flashplugin-nonfree on amd64 | 13:00 |
| Stargazer | Jrib, ikonia, when i try and change the res from 1400x** ubuntu logs off and logs into a 1600x1024 res which, then, my monitor goes blank cause it can't handle it. | 13:00 |
| norbert79 | jrib: Thx, I never used Ubuntu in 64 bit, I always stayed with 32 bit | 13:01 |
| titon | ikonia, I know. i cant seem to get it to work....but when i kill compiz the menu comes back | 13:01 |
| jrib | Stargazer: did you find a bug report for this? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | titon: you may want to ask the guys in #ubuntu if this is common ? | 13:01 |
| jrib | ikonia: :) | 13:02 |
| Pici | ikonia: psst. | 13:02 |
| ikonia | titon: #xubuntu | 13:02 |
| ikonia | ??? | 13:02 |
| Stargazer | Jrib, i filed one. and it got denied or something. there were others which are/were similar. | 13:02 |
| qstnn | I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and now my Windows XP virtual machine in vbox doesn't work. It asks me to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root. The recompiling fails. Here is the log file: http://pastebin.com/m7012046b | 13:02 |

| titon | ikonia, i run ubuntu | 13:02 |
| ikonia | titon: your using xfce desktop though arn't you ? | 13:02 |
| titon | ikonia, the pic was a link that looks like mu problem but i didnt find a fix | 13:02 |
| vasilisa | if im creating a make file, how do you set up make install for linux? :/ i tried /usr/bin for my executable and data in /usr/share ... but it couldnt find it | 13:03 |
| ikonia | titon is that not xfce desktop ? | 13:03 |
| zamba | where has the configuration file for X gone to? | 13:03 |
| vasilisa | I really want to figure this out | 13:03 |
| ikonia | vasilisa: read the autotools doc - this isn't an ubuntu issue | 13:03 |
| jrib | vasilisa: what is "it" in your sentence? | 13:04 |
| vasilisa | jrib: the data associated with my program | 13:04 |
| vasilisa | ikonia: this isnt an issue at all, this is my own makefile for my own program | 13:04 |
| scientes | how do i start x in a window? | 13:04 |
| jrib | zamba: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config | 13:04 |
| ikonia | vasilisa: so it's nothing to do with ubuntu, you'll be fine with the autotools docs | 13:04 |
| norbert79 | scientes: Look for "xnest" | 13:04 |
| titon | ikonia, the link is some other persons desktop running xubuntu but the problem looks like mine and i'm running ubuntu | 13:04 |
| vasilisa | ikonia: didnt even know about "autotools"... | 13:05 |
| ikonia | titon: ooh, I see | 13:05 |
| jrib | vasilisa: sounds like just a programming issue really if the data is getting installed | 13:05 |
| ikonia | vasilisa: check it out, | 13:05 |
| vasilisa | ikonia: i was just doing makefile by hand... | 13:05 |
| smalleyes | how come "gksudo network-admin" doesn't do anything anymore? (Pls refer to https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/start/device/ubuntu ) | 13:06 |
| ikonia | vasilisa well then you'r going to either need to read up on makefiles, or on autotools | 13:06 |
| vasilisa | ikonia: and this program makes makefiles for you? | 13:06 |
| ikonia | vasilisa it "can" | 13:06 |
| lesshaste | hi... firefox won't start .. this has happened before | 13:06 |
| vasilisa | ikonia: fair enough, thanks | 13:06 |
| lesshaste | it looks like it is going to start and then returns the prompt | 13:06 |
| ikonia | lesshaste: launch it from a command line see what it says | 13:06 |
| zamba | jrib: ok.. hm.. i just want to change the timeout for the screen blanking | 13:06 |
| ikonia | lesshaste: ps -ef | grep firefox, kill all running instances first | 13:07 |
| IrishDavid | hey, where has Network gone from System > Administration > Network ... I have checked the menu editor and it's not there. anyone know which package it was? | 13:07 |
| smalleyes | how do i change my DNS Servers? | 13:07 |
| zamba | jrib: where and how do you suggest i define that? | 13:07 |
| zamba | smalleyes: /etc/resolv.conf | 13:07 |
| ikonia | smalleyes: change your /etc/resolv.conf files | 13:07 |
| jrib | zamba: how did you do it before? Do the gui tools not work (system -> preferences -> power management)? | 13:07 |
| smalleyes | zamba ikonia thanks | 13:07 |
| zamba | jrib: this is a ltsp client, so i have to do it in a configuration file | 13:07 |
| KableKiB | Is ubuntu supposed to be able to detect USB headsets? | 13:07 |
| zamba | jrib: and then rebuild the image | 13:07 |
| jrib | zamba: ah, does gnome-power-manager not handle it then? | 13:08 |
| ikonia | KableKiB depends if the device is supported | 13:08 |
| titon | ikonia, compiz seem to have problem rendering the text for the menus | 13:08 |

| ikonia | Pelo: what's that module for | 13:12 |
| Pelo | ikonia, module ? | 13:12 |
| qstnn | I have been usuing Ubuntu for two years and good amount of that time has been finding solutions to basic, brain-dead problems that should have been anticipated and solved had the programmers of all the components any maturity or foresight. | 13:12 |
| qstnn | There are no problems as brain-dead as there are in the open source world. Those problems are already anticipated and accounted for. Here no one cares, so everyone fishes for themselves. This results in people touting ideals to defend the collective waste of time in finding solutions to problems. | 13:13 |
| ikonia | Pelo: the module your trying to modprobe | 13:13 |
| qstnn | Don't wish to troll. But am totally sick of it. | 13:13 |
| werdnus | http://workaround.org/moin/GettingHelpOnIrc | 13:13 |
| jrib | qstnn: do you have a question? | 13:13 |
| ikonia | qstnn: too late - you trolled, please don't start with this sort of nonsense | 13:13 |
| KableKiB | lol | 13:13 |
| werdnus | qstnn: maybe you should pay for your software :) | 13:13 |
| KableKiB | its free so st*u | 13:13 |
| KableKiB | ^^ | 13:13 |
| ikonia | KableKiB that attitude is not welcome | 13:14 |
| Pelo | ikonia, do you get the part where " I can't modprobe gspca" ? that's what I need to do , I need to load it | 13:14 |
| gammy | qstnn: the same can be said for any large commercial project. | 13:14 |
| KableKiB | was meant as half joke sry | 13:14 |
| ikonia | Pelo yes, I'm asking what that module is for | 13:14 |

| loller | does anybody can tell program with wich i can cut parts of songs ? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | Pelo is it an open source module or 3rd party (I've never heard of it hence asking) | 13:15 |
| Pelo | KableKiB, try this , goto menu > system> admin , or maybe pref , find the sound thingy, put everything on auto | 13:15 |
| jrib | Stargazer: there are a few workarounds listed there, did you try them? | 13:15 |
| KableKiB | Pelo, yeah it's pref.. you mean autodetect? | 13:15 |
| Pelo | ikonia, it's suppose to be in the kernel now , but it was 3rd party a while back , | 13:15 |
| Pelo | KableKiB, yes | 13:15 |
| KableKiB | ok brb | 13:15 |
| ikonia | Pelo what version of the kernel are you using ? | 13:15 |
| qstnn | I wish to pay. But I was never told what I would be getting before being told brought in. It was all rosy. Why don't people expose all the problems, and time requirements of 'free' software. I think these are the most expensive software. If a end user has to sit and fish around for arcane solutions to even simple problems. | 13:16 |
| ikonia | qstnn: stop now please | 13:16 |
| Pici | Pelo: Its not just gspca for the module name take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/68353/ | 13:16 |
| loller | any suggestion of soundfile editors? | 13:16 |
| Pelo | ikonia, 2.6.27-7 | 13:16 |

| joaopinto | loller, try audacity | 13:16 |
| Pelo | werdnus, since your webcam is working , can you lsmod | grep gspca for me ? | 13:16 |
| KableKiB | Pelo, I did that and couldn't hear anything in the headset.. no error this time though. | 13:17 |
| Pelo | Pici, thanks | 13:17 |
| ikonia | Pici: that makese sense, nice | 13:17 |
| werdnus | Pelo: it's upstairs on another computer. | 13:17 |
| Pelo | KableKiB, you might need to unmute the headset , try checking in alsamixer ( command line | 13:17 |
| werdnus | Pelo: And it depends on the webcam, of course. | 13:17 |
| KableKiB | k ill check that Pelo thanks | 13:18 |

| Pelo | !sound | KableKiB you might want to go through this proceedure then | 13:20 |
| ubottu | KableKiB you might want to go through this proceedure then: 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 | 13:20 |

| bulbulred2 | companies for example get ubuntu free | 13:29 |
| bulbulred2 | but pay for support | 13:29 |
| bulbulred2 | that's the biggest winning | 13:29 |
| ThinkMinus | bulbulred2 : Well.....that's good | 13:29 |

| ThinkMinus | But, how much can they earn this way? I mean they must pay their developers too......(?) | 13:30 |
| sudobash | Open Source.... I doubt the Developers make to much | 13:31 |

| alin | so how i find my external IP? | 13:36 |
| sudobash | alin do you have a router of firewall? | 13:36 |
| chadeldridge | nick_: sudo apt-get install smbfs | 13:36 |
| bulbulred2 | you could try http://www.whatismyip.org | 13:36 |
| sudobash | alin your external is 60.52.62.122 | 13:36 |
| bulbulred2 | sites like that | 13:36 |

| bulbulred2 | sorry | 13:37 |
| bulbulred2 | .com | 13:37 |
| alin | i use LAN | 13:37 |
| alin | but no firewall | 13:37 |
| sudobash | nevermind i cant help you sorry | 13:37 |
| ballongen | what should i do, if ubuntu boots up with red green red and white horizantal stripes only after fresh install | 13:37 |
| chadeldridge | alin: the ports would have to be passes through the router to get to your machine from the outside world | 13:37 |
| alin | oh | 13:38 |
| alin | how should i do that? | 13:38 |
| chadeldridge | alin: are you behind a router or is this someone just on your local lan | 13:38 |
| sudobash | read how to do it on google... port forwarding | 13:38 |
| chadeldridge | When my laptop goes into standby mode it appears that all the devices are not being put to sleep. For 1 i can still hear the HDD spinning. Standby time should be at least 5 hours but i am getting a little more than an hour out of it. Can someone help me figure out why not all devices are sleeping? | 13:38 |
| nick_ | chadeldridge, ok its installed, do I need to reboot ? (tested with same result) | 13:38 |
| alin | i m in my router | 13:38 |

| alin | huh | 13:39 |
| alin | oh thx | 13:39 |
| alin | i'll try it | 13:39 |
| chadeldridge | nick_: you should not need to reboot. do you know a windows share off hand you can open up nautilus and type smb://server/share and see if you get prompted for auth | 13:39 |

| nick_ | chadeldridge, yup one sec let me test | 13:40 |
| === kooNewton_ is now known as iBus-ceo | ||
| HymnToLife | ballongen: it's usplash (the graphical boot screen) that doesn't seem to like your video card. Quick and dirty fix: disable it altogether :p | 13:40 |
| chadeldridge | nick_: also what type of windows shares are these ... servers or xp workstations ? | 13:40 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife: ah | 13:40 |
| sudobash | is there a difference in Server Shares and Workstation Shares | 13:40 |
| alin | what if i use local LAN? | 13:40 |
| chadeldridge | sudobash: domain or workstation was what i was getting at | 13:41 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife: like uninstall the gdm or? | 13:41 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife sorry. should i uninstall the gdm? | 13:41 |
| sudobash | i understood you i wasnt aware there was that much a difference | 13:41 |
| nick_ | chadeldridge, if I use connect to server with info it asks username and logs in fine, its XP, Vista and 2003 shares, I just cant seem to browse to shares | 13:41 |
| sudobash | but i stopped using windows a while ago | 13:41 |
| HymnToLife | ballongen: hmmm, hold on, when exactly do you see those stripes? | 13:41 |
| === iBus-ceo is now known as iNutshe11 | ||
| ballongen | HymnToLife: when the booter almost are finished, and i should be presented with the login. also the sound activates just before the "stripes" | 13:42 |
| ballongen | horizontal | 13:42 |
| chadeldridge | nick_: i have had this issue before because the network shares had no idea of who i was because there was not authorization made to them yet. You may want to bounce your machine and come back then double click on a server from the list and see if you get prompted to auth | 13:42 |
| HymnToLife | oh | 13:42 |
| chadeldridge | i have to go into the tape vault for a min .. ill brb to help you more if you need it | 13:43 |
| HymnToLife | then it's most likely a Xorg problem, which is much nastier because that's what all your graphical stuff is built on top of | 13:43 |
| === r3z`` is now known as r3z | ||
| nick_ | will do, thanks for the help chadeldridge at least now I can connect | 13:43 |
| HymnToLife | what kind of graphics card do you have? | 13:43 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife: oh | 13:43 |
| ballongen | it works fine in 8.04 | 13:43 |
| === iNutshe11 is now known as xinenOO7 | ||
| HymnToLife | yeah | 13:44 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife: i think i have a ati hd2400 xtx | 13:44 |
| HymnToLife | Xorg is something the Ubuntu devs like to mess around with very much | 13:44 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife: dammit | 13:44 |
| HymnToLife | so yeah, if you're not lucky... | 13:44 |
| HymnToLife | I guess you could just stick with 8.04, or do you really need to upgrade? | 13:45 |
| ballongen | perhaps installing the 8.04 and upgrading could work | 13:45 |
| sudobash | ballongen can you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:45 |
| ballongen | sudobash: thinking.... hmm. | 13:45 |
| youngblood | Im a high school student that recently downloaded ubuntu 8.10 to try out the wireless network(I could not get it to work on 8.04). When I tried to connect, it asked me for the network name, how do I get this? | 13:45 |
| ballongen | perhaps i can ssh to the machine and get it, yeah. | 13:45 |
| sudobash | nano works wonders | 13:46 |
| YlandeFaran | I seem to have problems with running mozilla and audacious at the same time. | 13:46 |
| YlandeFaran | It works if I start audacios first, but then I don't have any audio in mozilla.. | 13:46 |
| HymnToLife | youngblood: if the network is broadcasting its ESSID, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 13:46 |
| sudobash | or just cat it if you are in SSH | 13:46 |
| HymnToLife | replace with your wireless interface's name if needed | 13:46 |

| HymnToLife | lol | 13:50 |
| ballongen | legend: well, i see stripes, and i cannot login, so the bug isnt exactly the same | 13:51 |
| HymnToLife | Ubuntu's xorg.conf's used to be one hell of a mess | 13:51 |

| ballongen | legend2440: i removed the gdm, now i have console | 13:51 |
| HymnToLife | but now they're pretty much empty | 13:51 |
| HymnToLife | I guess it lets Xorg try to guess stuff | 13:51 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife: yeah. | 13:51 |
| HymnToLife | which is a bad idea | 13:51 |
| ballongen | legend2440: when i login, and uses startx, i recieve the stripes as well | 13:51 |

| HymnToLife | X -configure as root, should give you a working one | 13:53 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife: ok., trying that | 13:53 |

| HymnToLife | if it gets you back to the prompt, it should be good | 13:55 |

| ThePandemic82 | what can i do? | 13:55 |
| benedikt_ | i wanted to make a few shortcuts that would appear on every users desktop. I tried using /etc/skel but it looks like Ubuntu gets teh desktop from some other place | 13:55 |
| benedikt_ | How can i do this? | 13:55 |
| chadeldridge | ThePandemic82: are you using compiz ? | 13:55 |
| ThePandemic82 | yes | 13:55 |
| ballongen | HymnToLife: Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. configuration failed | 13:55 |
| chadeldridge | ThePandemic82: try to compiz --replace | 13:55 |
| ThePandemic82 | never had any problems like this,,until i updated today | 13:56 |
| jrib | ballongen: /etc/skel should work for any new user you create. Is that what you want? | 13:56 |
| ThePandemic82 | 'compiz --replace' thats a command? | 13:56 |
| HymnToLife | ballongen: do you have multiple monitors or stuff like that? | 13:56 |
| ThePandemic82 | what will that cmd do? | 13:56 |
| Kano | hi, is a desktop search by default active? | 13:56 |
| chadeldridge | force compiz to overlay the desktop again | 13:56 |

None of the options there seem to do any goos, and when I drop to the root user(from that screen) and run shutdown now, the crond and system log daemon have [FAIL] next to them, rather than OK as processes get ended. How can I shutdown the machine! | 13:57 |
| jrib | Spirits-Sight: why? | 13:57 |
| HymnToLife | ballongen: jrib was speaking to benedikt_ ;) | 13:57 |

If you don't know how to write C outside of an IDE, then you need to go away and research the available IDEs for ubuntu. KDE has an IDE suite which isn't bad.

| KalEl | i think it will do what i want... thanks | 16:48 |
| Vlet | faria_desktop: then observe its contents, and if you don't understand the settings, use google to look up what they mean | 16:48 |

| MenZa | I'm having some issues with my fstab at the moment; my /home partition isn't mounted, meaning when I boot, it escapes to a prompt, where I'm logged in as root. I can easily type "mount /home; exit" and have it mount my /home and take me to X, but how do I make it automount it again? | 17:03 |
| psynophile | hello, i've recently purchased an external RAID array that came with a pci extreme esata card. i've hooked everything up and i'm getting problems booting with the raid array on. if i turn the raid array off, the computer will boot fine. after that, if i turn the raid array on, it'll detect the drives. | 17:03 |
| Myrtti | MenZa: did this start occurring after you had used hibernate/suspend? | 17:03 |
| Anatoliy | Myrtti: What help!? | 17:03 |
| MenZa | Myrtti: No; I shut it down always. | 17:04 |
| Myrtti | Anatoliy: are you here for fun or asking help with your ubuntu problems? | 17:04 |
| sysdoc | In Twinview is there a way for the 2 monitors to have different resolutions and not have part of one screen not visable? | 17:04 |
| lianimator | Can the next version of Ubuntu report the user of low disk space please? | 17:04 |
| lianimator | I got a lot of problems when my /home was full. | 17:04 |
| Myrtti | lianimator: you can always add a panel applet to warn you | 17:04 |
| IrishDavid | darkvertex, it hasnt fooled labview... :S | 17:05 |
| andril | hello all | 17:05 |
| lianimator | Myrtti: what applet is that? | 17:05 |
| andril | is it hard to change video cards in 8.10? | 17:05 |
| cory_ | Can anyone guide me on how to bridge a wireless network to a lan? I tried several online guides to no avail. I want to connection my xbox 360 to my laptop but I cant get media share to work if I use just ICS. Anyone want to help? | 17:05 |
| lianimator | The "symptoms" I got: pidgin kept crashing.. firefox didn't show my bookmarks. | 17:05 |
| Myrtti | lianimator: can't remember offhand, I'm on xubuntu now | 17:05 |
| Tetracomm | Hello. | 17:05 |
| darkvertex | IrishDavid: maybe you could install IE for real? | 17:05 |
| adriaan | andril: im not too much into ubuntu, but that shouldnt be a problem in linux usually | 17:06 |
| Anatoliy | Myrtti: But what is a ubuntu problems? | 17:06 |
| jms32 | Hello. I just connected SATA hard drive, but ubuntu write @Can't mount the disk@, What to do? | 17:06 |
| adriaan | andril: in the worst case you need to recompile your kernel for driver support (say you switched from nvidia to ati) | 17:06 |
| Jork | enyone here using fedora? | 17:06 |
| andril | i have a nvidia 5200 installed and want to change to 7600 are there any special steps to remember? | 17:06 |
| pipegeek | interesting. So, because networkmanager doesn't think the interface is up (even though it is), firefox, specifically, can't see that there's a live network connection. | 17:06 |
| Myrtti | Jork: you'll get more answers in #fedora :-) | 17:06 |
| pipegeek | How do I remedy this? | 17:06 |
| Jork | thnx Myrtti | 17:07 |
| psynophile | hello, i've recently purchased an external RAID array that came with a pci extreme esata card. i've hooked everything up and i'm getting problems booting with the raid array on. if i turn the raid array off, the computer will boot fine. after that, if i turn the raid array on, it'll detect the drives. | 17:07 |
| MenZa | Myrtti: It doesn't mount it if I substitute the UUID in /etc/fstab with the device location, either. :( | 17:07 |
| PeskyJ | any issues with WLAN cards in 8.10? I just removed a card with TI chipset and the system *seems* to not freeze any more (well it's been up 8 minutes so far, more than it ever lasted before I removed the card) | 17:07 |
| adriaan | andril: i think this should work off the flow. you might want to adjust /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:07 |
| Tetracomm | How do I make Ubuntu run a shell script that I wrote on startup? | 17:08 |
| Lancelot | on evolution, what do i enter on server configuration? | 17:08 |
| adriaan | Tetracomm: you can add it to bootlevel, or let it be started automatically by your window manager.. whats it you want? | 17:08 |
| pipegeek | heh... if anyone responded, I missed it, because my network connection went down briefly | 17:08 |
| pipegeek | Tetracomm: /etc/rc.local | 17:09 |
| IrishDavid | darkvertex, might try that but think ill get other problems as I think labview uses java, probably better just installing it in windows | 17:09 |
| cory_ | Can anyone guide me on how to bridge a wireless network to a lan? I tried several online guides to no avail. I want to connection my xbox 360 to my laptop but I cant get media share to work if I use just ICS. Anyone want to help? | 17:09 |
| pipegeek | So, why is it that firefox, specifically, would be unable to see a live network connection, just because networkmanager doesn't know it's there? | 17:09 |
| pipegeek | clearly, xchat can. | 17:09 |
| Anatoliy | Myrtti:I 14 years, I russian and did not teach the english, but account german! and that you appear? stay-at-home there and æðèòè its fast food! | 17:09 |

| jonaskoelker | how can I use EmulateWheel on intrepid? | 17:10 |
| NicEXE | I am on ubuntu 8.10 64-bit but I miss some resolutions. What should I do? | 17:10 |
| Myrtti | Anatoliy: if you can't behave or speak English, I'm afraid this channel is not for you | 17:10 |
| darkvertex | IrishDavid: that might be better :P some win apps just cannot work right in linux :( | 17:10 |
| cory_ | Can anyone tell me how to bring up eth0 manually? That might get me started in the right direction. | 17:11 |
| psynophile | cory_:ifconfig eth0 up | 17:11 |
| IrishDavid | darkvertex, there is a linux version but i'll have to pay for that... :S got given the windows one for free from uni | 17:11 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> sudo ifup eth0 | 17:11 |
| cory_ | thanks. | 17:11 |
| KiNnaZ | CodeImp ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up | 17:11 |
| KiNnaZ | to cory even | 17:11 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: rule of thumb: whenever you deal with a system put together of several components, try to test each component individually. If you know a working configuration, go from there, replacing each component one by one until you have the faulty setup. | 17:12 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: in your case, the components include the graphics driver version (i.e. kernel version), xorg version and xorg configuration file | 17:12 |
| dingupenguin | how do i set permission to install a game? | 17:13 |
| terrestre | anyone know the difference between ubuntu media center and mithbuntu | 17:13 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: so try running the old xorg on the old kernel with your old xorg.conf (downgrading some packages may be required) | 17:13 |
| dingupenguin | at /local/games | 17:13 |
| NicEXE | what I mean is that when I wan't to choose a resolution I only see some of them not all the supported resolutions | 17:13 |
| UltraNav | virtualbox 2.0.4 (closed source) on Ubuntu 8.04, guest OS ubuntu 8.04 and win XP. USB devices are shown in the filter but not in the guest OS... Anyone there with a similar config who succeeded to access the USB devices ? (yes, I consulted several Howto and also the virtualbox channel) | 17:13 |
| darkvertex | IrishDavid: that's too bad. really. cause i believe it just might cost you a bundle :( | 17:13 |
| jonaskoelker | dingupenguin: you can always "chmod 777 /local/games", so that everyone can store files there | 17:14 |
| leohartx | anybody know why my ubuntu can't read/write a mounted partition (i didn't set mount point when i install ubuntu) | 17:14 |
| IrishDavid | it does... ill just install in windows | 17:14 |
| sysdoc | In Twinview is there a way for the 2 monitors to have different resolutions and not have part of one screen not visable? | 17:14 |
| egoflux | anyone use the similar artist plugin for amarok? | 17:14 |
| jonaskoelker | dingupenguin: if you mean "install with a package manager"--that requires the package manager to write to /var/lib/dpkg/info/<something> | 17:14 |
| chadeldridge | sysdoc: which nvidia driver? cause that is a know bug in 177.80 | 17:14 |
| cory_ | Ok... that didnt get me as far as I would have thought. I am trying to get my xbox 360 to connect through my laptop to a wireless network. I am actually using my neighbor's internet connection. | 17:14 |
| jonaskoelker | dingupenguin: which I don't know how to do without making everybody root | 17:14 |
| jonaskoelker | dingupenguin: perhaps policykit and/or sudoers can be tweaked, but that's beyond my knowledge | 17:15 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> you have your neighbors permission to use their AP ? | 17:15 |
| leohartx | anybody know why my ubuntu can't read/write a mounted partition (i didn't set mount point when i install ubuntu) | 17:15 |
| sysdoc | chadeldridge, That is the one | 17:15 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: has your system worked the way you wanted it previously (i.e. with hardy, gutsy)? | 17:15 |
| jesselucas | I have a bash script question. Basically I need to take a string with a space in it and change it to have a \ so I can change directories with the string. Here is my current script http://www.pastie.org/308834 . | 17:15 |

| psynophile | hello, i've recently purchased an external RAID array that came with a pci extreme esata card. i've hooked everything up and i'm getting problems booting with the raid array on. if i turn the raid array off, the computer will boot fine. after that, if i turn the raid array on, it'll detect the drives. | 17:16 |
| NicEXE | jonaskoelker: yes | 17:16 |
| sysdoc | chadeldridge, thanks for the heads up!! | 17:16 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: "$i" | 17:16 |
| cory_ | n8tuser... he knows I am using it, but i dont have permission to change settings on the switch. | 17:16 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: and then see the options with which your partition has been mounted | 17:16 |
| pipegeek | found it. networkmanager alerts some applications that the connection is down. Which is irritating, if it *isn't* down. Disabled that. | 17:16 |
| sysdoc | chadeldridge, have you tried a separate x session with it? | 17:16 |
| leohartx | gotunandan , i've tried, but it didn't work | 17:16 |
| Myrtti | !repeat | psynophile | 17:16 |
| ubottu | psynophile: 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 | 17:16 |
| chadeldridge | sysdoc: yes thats what i am doing now cause i hate twinview ... 177.80 will not work but 173 will | 17:16 |
| ferronica | need help regarding keyboard shorcut keys :( | 17:17 |
| sysdoc | chadeldridge, cool thx, brb | 17:17 |
| cory_ | I am trying to create a bridge between the two networks, but find it nearly impossible to do it while using networkmanager or wicd | 17:17 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: in bash, when you write "cd foo bar", you give cd two arguments, foo and bar. When you use \, that tells bash "instead of separating into two arguments, just put a space in _the_ argument". Using "some thing" means "everything between quotes is one argument". | 17:17 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: so what were the options tht it was mounted with and wht is the filesystem on that partition ? | 17:17 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: so you're not inserting a \, but you're doing something to the same effect | 17:17 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> you laptop is already connected to your neighbor's AP ? | 17:17 |
| pipegeek | I love how *helpful* networkmanager is | 17:18 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: okay, then try running the newest known working xserver-xorg and linux-image | 17:18 |
| cory_ | n8tuser, wirelessly yes. | 17:18 |
| cory_ | and my xbox is connection with a cable to my nic | 17:18 |
| tux91 | where's the guest session in 8.10? | 17:18 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> so whats the problem? | 17:18 |
| leohartx | gotunandan , file system is ext3, option = rw | 17:18 |

| Sevensins | Hi all! Can anyone tell me wich file to fix if it says on update the package cache is corupt ? | 17:18 |
| left_blank | hi | 17:18 |
| jesselucas | jonaskoelker: Yeah the $i is the string being returned of the directories but it's getting hung up on because of the space. So I have a directory called "jesse lucas" it is just trying to cd jesse . | 17:18 |
| pipegeek | how it *helpfully* gives us no way to set up an ethernet bridge, and punishes us for doing so ourselves... | 17:18 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: oh duh, I didn't read all of your script | 17:19 |
| Lancelot | on evolution, what do i enter on server configuration? | 17:19 |
| NicEXE | jonaskoelker: I recently reinstalled a fresh copy of ubuntu 8.10 64-bit (I had 8.10 32 bit that was working correctly) | 17:19 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: okay? | 17:19 |
| cory_ | n9tuser I can connect to xbox live with firestarter ICS, but I cannot get media sharing to work. I assume it has something to do with the firewall configuration with firestarter, or because the xbox has to have a static ip to work with ICS. | 17:20 |
| tux91 | anybody knows? | 17:20 |
| Tetracomm | adriaan: bootleve, pipegeek, thank you. :) | 17:20 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: oh, so you changed hardware and not software? | 17:20 |
| === x-spec-t is now known as Spec | ||
| cory_ | n8tuser, so basicly my problem is I cant get media sharing to work, in a nutshell. | 17:20 |
| leohartx | gotunandan , this is it : http://paste.ubuntu.com/68438/ | 17:20 |
| russell__ | So, if I wan't working audio in linux I HAVE TO get rid of my x -fi card? | 17:20 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> what does your xbox requires? | 17:20 |
| eraldo | how can I search for a text string in all the text files in this directory | 17:20 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: let me see... | 17:20 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: set IFS=$'\n' | 17:20 |
| NicEXE | jonaskoelker: no, only software | 17:20 |
| JohnThePlumber | I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 and Flash works with Opera but not with Firefox. Well, it works with Firefox, but sometimes all it shows is a grey box, then I have to close FF and open it again (very, very annoying). No information is shown in the console :/ any ideas? | 17:21 |
| OxDeadC0de | eraldo in a terminal type: grep "my text string" * | 17:21 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: but you said (in essence) 64-bit bad, 32-bit good... | 17:21 |
| left_blank | hu, i can't find were is modprobe log file | 17:21 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> and yeah, you have to allow the ports used by xbox through your ICS | 17:21 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: which software-only changes did you do from a working version? | 17:21 |
| Myrtti | Anatoliy: final warning, do you have an Ubuntu related question? | 17:21 |
| left_blank | if there is one | 17:21 |
| RoosterJuice | hi there... ocmplete noob question... does ubuntu server include Xserver? | 17:21 |
| jesselucas | jonaskoelker: Thanks a lot! | 17:21 |
| eraldo | OxDeadC0de: oh thank you :) *very pleased* | 17:21 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: the partition in question is sda7 right.... try one thing... unmount it using umount and then mount it again and this time give the options as default | 17:21 |
| Exodus | RoosterJuice : No | 17:21 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: I think... or put the git-thing in a script of its own and do "$ find <something> -exec that-script.sh '{}' ';'" | 17:21 |
| Sevensins | @ Roosterjuice : no its commandlinebased | 17:22 |
| Lancelot | on evolution, what do i enter on server configuration? | 17:22 |
| smoovep | Whats the command to show the OS name and version.. starts with ls...something.. not uname -a ... Thanks... | 17:22 |
| cory_ | n8tuser, i know in order to use the Windows Media Center the xbox requires to have an IP via dhcp. | 17:22 |
| Lancelot | can someone help me out please? | 17:22 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: the -exec thing definitely works, but is more cumbersome | 17:22 |
| jonaskoelker | Lancelot: did you state your problem? | 17:22 |
| Exodus | RoosterJuice If you want to use server | 17:22 |
| Lancelot | YES | 17:22 |
| jonaskoelker | oh, sorry, missed it | 17:22 |
| Lancelot | on evolution, what do i enter on server configuration? | 17:22 |
| NicEXE | jonaskoelker: I realised that my CPU could support 64 bit and I reinstalled a fresh version of 8.10 64 bit | 17:22 |
| leohartx | gotunandan , how do i set it default ? | 17:22 |
| jesselucas | jonaskoelker: Awesome, I definitely try that out | 17:22 |
| darkvertex | smoovep: cat /proc/version ? | 17:22 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> dhcp is dynamic not static | 17:22 |
| Sevensins | but you can have a desktop on it by typing apt-get gnome-desktop or somthing but you can also read more about that in wikis around the plannet | 17:22 |
| cory_ | n8user, if I could figure out a way to share uPnp with an ICS setup, I would be happy. | 17:23 |
| === DRNK-Eway is now known as DrunkY | ||

| Lancelot | aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuughhh!!! | 17:23 |
| harlekin_ | Lancelot, your email server Hotmail or whatelse | 17:23 |
| cory_ | n8tuser, thats kinda the problem. in order to use firestarter ICS I have to set it static. | 17:23 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: but 64-bit versions released around the same time as 32-bit version? | 17:23 |
| Lancelot | hotmail\ | 17:23 |
| DefunctProcess | Is there a way to get my PC to shutdown at a certain time of day AND turn on at another time? | 17:23 |
| youknowme | whats the command to install compiz setting manager?> | 17:23 |
| Sevensins | if you'd like a desktop downloaad the desktop or alternate cd | 17:23 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: umount /dev/sda7; mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /media/sda7 -o defaults; | 17:24 |
| Sevensins | its much easier for a noob as you call yoursself to get up and running | 17:24 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> you want to set the interfaces towards xbox as static and same subnet you assign to xbox.. man interfaces for more details | 17:24 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: you will need to use sudo most likely | 17:24 |
| NicEXE | jonaskoelker: I had the same problems with 32 bit ubuntu but they fixed with an update | 17:24 |
| Lancelot | harlekin_:so, do I enter www.hotmail.com, or just hotmail? | 17:24 |
| RoosterJuice | Exodus, i'm a noob to linux, so i would prefer a gui... can i run apache and python and everything from ubuntu desktop? | 17:24 |
| Sevensins | yess | 17:24 |
| n8tuser | RoosterJuice-> yes its okay to run those you mentioned | 17:24 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: I'd try running older versions of kernel+xorg, just to check if that has an effect | 17:24 |
| OxDeadC0de | lancelot if you paid for webdav access (use msn as an isp or paid money) you can use hotway and hotsmtp | 17:24 |
| RoosterJuice | thanx guys | 17:24 |
| Exodus | @ youknowme : sudo aptitude install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager | 17:24 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: also, pastebin your xorg.conf | 17:24 |
| youknowme | thx | 17:25 |
| Lancelot | ? | 17:25 |
| flowers | how do i change my network name? | 17:25 |
| NicEXE | jonaskoelker: where is my xorf.conf file? | 17:25 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:25 |
| Exodus | youknowme you're welcome | 17:25 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, it doesn't work :9 | 17:25 |
| r3z | flowers, your hostname? | 17:25 |
| Sevensins | for sure there are even great tools for administration like rapache for the indian and many more but the tightest control you can have iss still bash ...commandline meaning | 17:25 |
| OxDeadC0de | lancelot: Hotmail doesn't support getting email through email clients unless you pay them money, and even then it's not through regular pop3 servers so you need special software to do it | 17:25 |
| flowers | r3z: for example, when i open terminal it says flowers@localhost. i wanna change 'localhost' | 17:25 |
| Sevensins | NiceEXE /etc/X11/Xorg.* | 17:26 |
| r3z | vi /etc/hostname | 17:26 |
| Lancelot | damn | 17:26 |
| Lancelot | so, it won't work? | 17:26 |
| jonaskoelker | DefunctProcess: I think turning on is difficult. Unless your box does IPMI, and you run another computer to use it, I think not. | 17:26 |
| OxDeadC0de | lancelot there are services out there like izymail but that costs money too apparently | 17:26 |
| jonaskoelker | DefunctProcess: unless it always turns on when you replug the power wire. Then you can buy a time-based on-off power switch and use that | 17:26 |
| flowers | thank you r3z | 17:26 |
| r3z | np | 17:26 |
| cory_ | n8tuser, but is it possible to create a bridge in ubuntu to allow any connections via my NIC card to obtain an IP address via my neighbors router? | 17:26 |
| j2daosh | DefunctProcess: yeah, look in your bois for "alarm" | 17:27 |
| r3z | if you run hostname whatever from console you can change it on the fly. | 17:27 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, i can only read/write while i use gksu nautilus | 17:27 |
| j2daosh | it should give you options to auto boot and shut down based on timers | 17:27 |
| titon | do you guys use compiz? | 17:27 |
| jonaskoelker | cory_: it is, I would think | 17:27 |
| jonaskoelker | titon: yes | 17:27 |
| ay^ | titon: yep | 17:27 |
| jesselucas | jonaskoelker: setting the IFS=$'\n' worked! | 17:27 |
| Exodus | titon : have you got a problem for compiz _ | 17:27 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> but then your wifi has to do dual functions, i do not believe you can | 17:27 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: cool :) | 17:27 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: ohh... tht means the partition has been mounted with permissions only to the super user | 17:27 |
| titon | i'm thinking if i should downgrade to 8.04 just for compiz to run....is it worth the downgrade? | 17:27 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: it'll probably fail if any filename contains a newline :) | 17:28 |
| jonaskoelker | jesselucas: but people who do that should be shot :D | 17:28 |
| j2daosh | what?! no eye-candy for 8.10? | 17:28 |
| ay^ | titon: compiz runs fine for me in 8.10 så I don't know about that. | 17:28 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> did you read man interfaces yet? | 17:28 |
| titon | Exodus, yea on intrepid the drivers that just came out for my old nvidia.....they are buggy......trouble rendering text | 17:28 |

| titon | the cube works great and fps is around 70 | 17:28 |
| cory_ | n8tuser, ok, that makes since. I will set ICS back up and try to get media sharing to work with that setup. | 17:28 |
| dulak | titon: I can't get compiz working on 8.10 but I am not downgrading, I work on my computer, eye candy is nice and all, but work is the most important bit to me so I am not downgrading | 17:29 |
| Elevix | Does anyone here has an USB TV card which works out-of-the-box with Ubuntu? | 17:29 |

| lianimator | Anyone know how to be warned when diskspace is low? or if a drive is full? As annoying as the way windows warn you at 200MB, I'd like Ubuntu to warn me at 0B. | 17:29 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, can i change that mode ? | 17:29 |
| j2daosh | i only have a built in video adapater with 8m of memory, will compiz run? | 17:29 |
| titon | geforce4 440 go 64 mb in my laptop | 17:29 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: that looks kosher; nothing in it is wrong (AFAICT)... maybe the things that are not in it. | 17:29 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: use the option user eg $ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /media/sda7 -o rw,user; | 17:29 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: how's it going with installing old versions of the kernel and xorg? | 17:29 |
| cory_ | n8tuser, from what I understand the /etc/network/interfaces is overridden by networkmanager or wicd if installed. | 17:29 |
| lianimator | j2daosh: worth a try, no? | 17:29 |
| Exodus | titon : you'll install last updates ? | 17:29 |
| n8tuser | cory_-> nope its not overridden | 17:29 |
| j2daosh | but ofcourse, i just want to know if i should get my hopes up and if it doesn't work correctly, bother making it work | 17:30 |
| titon | yea i got the latest ones | 17:30 |
| NicEXE | jonaskoelker: how to do that? | 17:30 |
| jonaskoelker | cory_, n8tuser: last I checked, NetworkManager only manages interfaces that are not listed in /etc/network/interfaces | 17:30 |
| sysdoc | chadeldridge, thanks worked great! One other problem I have is that the launchers in the gnome panel freezes when started in the 2nd x session. New driver did not fix this | 17:30 |
| Exodus | titon : you'll try envy for install graphic card driver ? | 17:30 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker-> how do you even get an interface that is not listed on interfaces file? | 17:30 |
| chadeldridge | sysdoc: are you running compiz ? | 17:31 |
| amerinese | hi does anyone have problems from upgrading 8.04->8.10 where clicking on items in places causes a command-line window to open instead of the folder? | 17:31 |
| sysdoc | chadeldridge, yup | 17:31 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: for every line in /etc/apt/sources.list, copy the line but replace intrepid with hardy. Then apt-get update. For each interesting package p, do "apt-cache show p | grep Version"; apt-get install p=<<the older version>> | 17:31 |
| sysdoc | Chad worked great in 8.04 | 17:31 |
| jonaskoelker | NicEXE: interesting packages probably being linux-image and xserver-xorg | 17:31 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, it doesnt work too :( | 17:31 |
| sysdoc | chadeldridge, worked great in 8.04 | 17:31 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: you comment out the lines listing it | 17:31 |
| chadeldridge | sysdoc: try for s#$ts and giggles: compiz --replace | 17:31 |
| r3z | !update | 17:32 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 17:32 |
| michelecs | Hi guys. A strange 'dd' process is eating all my resources (especially disk access). Anybody knows why it started? | 17:32 |
| rohm | okay - was here earlier talking about how I had a large white bar across the bottom of my screen that would "tile" whatever was around my cursor. I changed the resolution to 1024x768 and it seems to have fixed the issue. Everything is HUGE now...anyway to fix this? | 17:32 |
| chadeldridge | !dd | 17:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd | 17:32 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker-> have you tried it? just commenting out the lines, and restarted network-manager or wicd ? | 17:32 |
| danbhfive | michelecs: that sounds very bad | 17:32 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: do one thing do an ls -l on the contents of /media/sda7 and $ ls -ld /media/sda7 | 17:33 |
| r3z | michelecs, ps -efw and find out exactly what it is doing. | 17:33 |
| n8tuser | rohm-> try crtl+ + of the numpad | 17:33 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: only in the pre-intrepid versions | 17:33 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: its likely that you are only allowed to read/write on that partition has the super user... because its been mounted with those permissions | 17:33 |
| khalood | when I chose to share a windows folder from unix , to other windows PC in local network it says " you don't have permissions , ask you admin to " ..whyy? | 17:33 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, can you make it more detail ? | 17:34 |
| adriaan | j2daosh: won't count too much on it... 8mb is not too much | 17:34 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, i mean steps by steps | 17:34 |
| j2daosh | yeah, its a netbook :( | 17:34 |
| Tetracomm | I added this line XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 just befre exit o in rc.local, so it will execute it on startup? | 17:34 |
| JoseBravo | The fonts of my firefox/thunderbird/xchat is very large, how can I modify it? | 17:34 |
| adriaan | j2daosh: you might want to search for minimum hardware support | 17:34 |
| j2daosh | oh well though | 17:34 |
| amerinese | how can i customize the action taken for clicking on items on the places menu? | 17:34 |
| cory_ | alright to all that are helping me... ICS is back up and the xbox is back on live. I am going to run through the ushare tutorial and set it back up. Then I might have a few questions about what ports to open and how to open them. | 17:34 |
| jonaskoelker | How can I set up intrepid's hal to use EmulateWheel? | 17:34 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker-> that does not seemed right....network-manager or wicd will always read interfaces file when starting these two apps | 17:34 |
| sysdoc | chadeldridge, I believe that is the way it is starting --replace, but have forgot where to find that.. Clue? | 17:34 |
| j2daosh | if i can just make linux run on this box, i will be happy | 17:35 |
| rohm | n8tuser - not seeing anything - where do you want me to try that? | 17:35 |
| khalood | when I chose to share a windows folder from unix , to other windows PC in local network it says " you don't have permissions , ask you admin to " ..whyy? | 17:35 |
| michelecs | r3z: It sounds it is doing some system operation (backup of logs?) "/bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg" | 17:35 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: try deleting the lines instead of commenting them out (I can't imagine *that* working, but never say never) | 17:35 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: ok... | 17:35 |
| Tundrayeti311 | khalood: Because u dpm | 17:35 |
| n8tuser | rohm-> try crtl+ + of the numpad in your keyboard | 17:35 |
| adriaan | j2daosh: it's possible to run linux on a broad toaster.. so | 17:35 |
| Tundrayeti311 | khalood: oops... don't have permission, want to pastebin /etc/fstab ? | 17:35 |
| titon | Exodus, no i used the properitary drivers | 17:36 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: $ ls -ld /media/sda7 <<< see the permissions for this and also the owner of the file /media/sda7 | 17:36 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, and only root can mount partitions, that is the matter | 17:36 |
| khalood | Tundrayeti311: how ? | 17:36 |
| rohm | n8tuser - I tried that, but nothing happened | 17:36 |
| j2daosh | yeah but its tends to flake out on bleeding edge technology | 17:36 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker-> thats not valid, | 17:36 |
| Tundrayeti311 | !paste | khalood | 17:36 |
| ubottu | khalood: 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) | 17:36 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: pastebin or it didn't happen :p | 17:36 |
| n8tuser | rohm-> try to press it several times | 17:36 |
| Exodus | titon : try with envy. I think probably your problem resolve with Envy.. | 17:36 |
| rohm | yea, um - nothing | 17:36 |
| j2daosh | i have a dual core at home that wont run linux because of the damn jmicron bug that never got fixed | 17:36 |
| khalood | Tundrayeti311: i'm actually asking how to get the contents of /etc/fstab | 17:37 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: that is fine... tell me the permissions set for that directory and the files inside it... also the owner of the directory | 17:37 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker-> it should have no effect, once you start wicd ornetwork-manager then changing interfaces file | 17:37 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-11-06 23:42 /media/sda7 | 17:37 |
| booksbuggy | anyone know how i can turn log in menu into text mode? | 17:37 |
| jonaskoelker | n8tuser: then restart wicd/n-m? | 17:37 |
| n8tuser | jonaskoelker-> yes | 17:37 |
| j2daosh | aaahhhh, the kde version looks slick.... im only at the startup but its looking nice already :P | 17:37 |

Rebooted again to new kernal and once again the cd/dvd player is missing | 17:37 |
| Tundrayeti311 | khalood: 1 way would be to type 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab' and then copy and paste | 17:37 |

| r3z | booksbuggy, vi /etc/inittab and change the default runlevel to 3. | 17:37 |
| Exodus | khalood : sudo gedit /etc/fstab on Terminal | 17:37 |

| booksbuggy | r3z> i used this code "vi /etc/inittab" | 17:42 |
| themann | ubuntu is an african work for "i don't know how to configure BSD" | 17:42 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: used parted if you want. $ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install parted; | 17:42 |

| ljuwaidah | ROFLMAO | 17:42 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: ok.... | 17:43 |
| themann | is this the most populous channel on freenode? | 17:43 |

| leohartx | gotunandan, doent work too , wth happened to my partition ? | 17:45 |
| Tundrayeti311 | khalood: perhaps i misunderstood what you were asking :/ ... I have old windows ntfs partitions that I mount when I boot, using setup in /etc/fstab, inorder to have full permissions ( for samba, wine etc ) i had to use ntfs-3g, and set myself as owner... idk what ur doing w/ gparted | 17:45 |

| j2daosh | wow, i am really gonna like this kubuntu if it works :P | 17:46 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: we just changed the permission of the directory to rw for all users not just root | 17:46 |

| aardvaark | what package lists are recommended and/or people find useful? i already have added medibuntu. any others? | 17:48 |
| leohartx | gotunandan, if you can format this partition, can you make it accessable ? | 17:48 |
| khalood | Tundrayeti311: I've just installed it three days ago and figuring out how to do stuffs i used to do in windows | 17:48 |
| Exodus | aardvaark : i think medibuntu and default package list enough | 17:49 |
| danbhfive | ljuwaidah: why did you do that? | 17:49 |
| BrickHaus | pangloss: if there's no eth0 recognized ifconfig can't bring it up because it doesn't exist. See my delima.. And no... I wouldn't be here asking stupid questions. sudo ifconfig eth0 up...... doesn't work.. you have to see eth0 to call it silly.. :D | 17:49 |
| OxDeadC0de | aardvark other repo's are unsupported, but I use cairo-docks repo and wines on top of medibuntu and ubuntu's | 17:49 |
| ljuwaidah | danbhfive: something's wrong with my ncurses so i had to remove it and install it again | 17:49 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: just tell me wht is the actual problem.... you are not being allowed to write to the partition /dev/sda7 which has been mounted at /media/sda7 ? | 17:49 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: is this the original issue ? | 17:49 |
| pangloss | BrickHaus: what do you get when you type in $lspci | grep -i ethernet | 17:50 |

| leohartx | gotunandan, when i install ubuntu, i leave this last partition (sda7) without mount to any folder | 17:51 |
| Tundrayeti311 | khalood: Ok. If this partition is something you plan on using a lot, i would definitely recommend having it mounted at boot | 17:51 |
| leohartx | gotunandan , yes | 17:51 |
| BrickHaus | pangloss: my builtin ethernet interace chipset ofcourse.. Like I said.. lspci see's it. Lsmod loads the correct kernmodule but no eth interface detected. Detected my wireless pci card just fine. | 17:51 |
| gotunandan | leohartx: tht was because u did not have permissions .... so after the chmod command you should have those permissions now | 17:51 |
| danbhfive | ljuwaidah: whats not working? | 17:51 |

| kaveh_ | hi there. Maybe someone can help me... So I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 and tried to get it working on 2 GPUs and 3 screens. I've got 2 of the screens in Twinview and 1 screen in a seperate Xserver. Now, it all works, EXCEPT when i try to start some applications in the seperate Xserver. For example, clicking the firefox icon in the twinview screen works just fine but clicking the same icon in the seperate Xserver prod | 18:07 |
| kaveh_ | uces and error blank error message and everything grinds to a halt. Another thing to note that might help with the debug is that the little green circle "user available" that comes next to the username on the top right of the screen has been replaced by a generic "file missing" graphic on the seperate Xserver screen; but shows properly in the twinview xserver. I'm pretty new to linux so any help would be very welcome. | 18:07 |

| gangsterlicious | n/m. i see mkfs.ext4 command is available | 18:32 |
| regeya | !ext4 | 18:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 18:32 |
| regeya | is ext4 considered stable yet? | 18:32 |
| pangloss | BrickHaus: just try this one too real quick see what happens $sudo mii-tool | 18:33 |
| RancidLM | regeya: i wouldn't considure it for a production invironment | 18:33 |
| evilspawn4 | hey guys im haveing problems removeing a program in ubuntu can anyone help me? | 18:33 |
| pangloss | BrickHaus: paste output | 18:33 |
| gangsterlicious | regeya: there is mkfs.ext4 and mkfs.ext4dev | 18:33 |
| genii | tallyn: Is this some Asus p5k type motherboard? | 18:33 |
| RancidLM | regeya: i would stick with ext3 for now.. but thats just my opinion | 18:33 |
| regeya | okeydoke...I won't (but concede that I am crazy enough to use reiser in a production env) | 18:33 |
| gangsterlicious | mkfs.ext4dev, as i understanded, was the test one | 18:33 |
| pangloss | evilspawn4: applications>>add/remove software | 18:33 |
| gangsterlicious | /sbin/mkfs.ext4: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped | 18:33 |
| evilspawn4 | i did that but it still wont go away | 18:33 |
| tallyn | genii: actually I'm running an iMac7,1 | 18:34 |
| regeya | I have a machine here at work which reliably experiences filesystem corruption with ext3, but oddly enough has never had a problem with reiser3. This MAY constitute the only production machine on which Reiser is more stable than something else. | 18:34 |
| dingupenguin | anyone here get the p4n-3 sli surround sound to work? | 18:34 |
| evilspawn4 | i even used "sudo apt-get remove wine" that didnt work eather | 18:34 |
| pangloss | evilspawn4: what program is it, did you install it via add/remove? | 18:34 |
| BrickHaus | pangloss: no MII interfaces found | 18:34 |
| evilspawn4 | its wine | 18:34 |

| slacker_nl | quick questiom how can one retreive the UUID from a disk? | 18:35 |
| RancidLM | regeya: lol well they each have there advantages, i wouldn't nock reiser but... it looks like its kinda collecting more dust then usual now... lol :) | 18:35 |
| jrib | !uuid | slacker_nl | 18:35 |
| ubottu | slacker_nl: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 18:35 |

| regeya | RancidLM: yeah, I am using reiser3, which is definitely getting old, but I guess there have been a few bugfixes the past few years ;-) plus I leave tail-packing enabled; on a machine running Netatalk, that saves a LOT of space :-> I'm just pleased that I was able to replace an aging ASIP install with Debian (it started as an Ubuntu box) on PPC and can actually get sleep now ;-) kudos to debian and ubuntu debs for THAT | 18:37 |

| regeya | same problem here padey I've been meaning to look into that...it gives you an error about not being able to parse xorg.conf doesn't it | 18:37 |
| slacker_nl | hahaha, UID=UUIDno doesn't work.. Do'h | 18:37 |
| RancidLM | dp_: one more thing i REALLY strongly recomend if u haven't to have /home its own partition in the future u can do a fresh install of the latest ubuntu and still retain ur files and settings that way | 18:37 |
| selinuxium | hi all! Is there a way to rotate my kern, sys, messages logs.... for some reason they are about 2gb each! | 18:37 |

| lyrae | i thought id have to be admin to do so, thats why i mentiond 'being an admin' | 19:13 |
| pangloss | billybigrigger: no like this, $lspci | grep -i vga > output.txt | 19:13 |
| lyrae | like a separate admin login | 19:13 |
| dkT | ...ANYONE got an idea, why you can't launch firefox 3 after returning from suspend mode (8.10)? | 19:13 |

| ri1 | hi all, i'm new to the ubuntu release and trying to make it live on a new lenovo T500. my first install of 8.10 got as far (it appears) as installing Xwin, then dumped me into console mode. so i backed up to 8.04, and it is working much better. EXCEPT: wireless, via 5100 . i understand these drivers are in 8.10, and would like to use this newer release anyway. but i'd appreciate any hints on EITHER figuring out what is cau | 19:16 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html | 19:16 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: done that too, but it seems to conflict with network manager | 19:17 |
| so1 | hello | 19:17 |
| epl | Drainman: you can rename the /var/cache/apt/archives directory, then create a link from there to some other directory on a partition with more space | 19:17 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: I know how to setup network/interfaces, it's just that network-manager has broken everything since the intrepid upgrade | 19:17 |
| mohdrafie | Will installing ubuntu 8.10 replacing 8.4 solve the wireless connection for laptop that uses quite latest wireless netwrk card (Intel PRO 3945)? | 19:17 |
| pangloss | hm, JediMaster try creating another wired network connection? | 19:17 |
| Drainman | epl: thx should have thought about that :) | 19:18 |
| paul68 | mohdrafie: which chipset do you use? | 19:18 |
| epl | lyrae: will the new user have the same name? | 19:18 |
| mohdrafie | intel duo core | 19:18 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: click add in the network-manager wired connections screen, name it static_ip or something, and put in all your info | 19:18 |
| so1 | can anybody helo me to configure dhcpv6 please? | 19:18 |
| epl | lyrae: be careful, if you remove the only admin user you won't be able to log in | 19:18 |

| pangloss | JediMaster: and it deletes it every time you reboot? | 19:18 |
| JediMaster | yes | 19:18 |
| joaopinto | MuseIt, try asking on #vbox | 19:19 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: your second connection is completely gone? or its settings just go back to dhcp? | 19:19 |
| pangloss | billybigrigger: figure it out? | 19:19 |
| billybigrigger | pangloss, yes sir | 19:19 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: only got one connection, and it looses all settings and goes back to the default (even the name changes) | 19:19 |
| aaaaa | hi, i have started openvpn , itson, but tun device in iifconfig is missing, and /dev/tun also.(i have 8.10 server), how can i create this device ? | 19:19 |
| epl | lyrae: err.. what am I saying, of course you can still log in (with any other non-admin user) but you won't be able to create another admin user | 19:20 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: add another connection | 19:20 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: on the same interface? | 19:20 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: and set that one to automatically connect instead of auto eth0 | 19:20 |
| billybigrigger | where do i find the changelog for what was fixed in the recent compiz updates today? i filled a bug in LP and want to know if these compiz updates will resolve my bug | 19:20 |
| mohdrafie | paul68: embeded intel pro | 19:20 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: yes, for instance I have one that connects to 802.1x | 19:20 |
| lyrae | epl: aye. what happened was, i changed my username to lyrae. but the home dir is still my old username. i can rename it, but im wondering if there are other things laying around with my old username's settings | 19:21 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: one for static | 19:21 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: and oen for dhcp | 19:21 |
| pw-toxic | can anyone help me with my graphical problem? | 19:21 |
| epl | lyrae: Oh, I doubt it. If the new user has the same uid as the old one, there shouldn't be any problems. | 19:21 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: again, it won't let me set the gateway to 192.168.1.254 | 19:21 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: it reverts to blank after I click away | 19:21 |

| JediMaster | pangloss: fixed it | 19:23 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: =O | 19:23 |
| lyrae | epl: well instead of creating a new user and deleting the old one, i just renamed. thus same UID. i should be ok, right? | 19:23 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: I set it to 192.168.1.2 then clicked off, it worked and set it back to 192.168.1.254 and it's stuck now lol | 19:23 |
| jerome__ | CCM1 | 19:23 |
| epl | lyrae: I think so | 19:23 |
| lyrae | epl: lets hope so =] | 19:23 |

| pangloss | JediMaster: make sure it keeps it when you restart. | 19:23 |
| JediMaster | going to reboot it now | 19:23 |

| epl | lyrae: actually | 19:24 |
| mohdrafie | then list of them coming down | 19:24 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: this appears to be a bug due to upgrading, afaik it doesn't happen on fresh installs, | 19:24 |
| epl | lyrae: if you rename your user, the new user won't be a member of the admin group | 19:24 |
| paul68 | mohdrafie: ido you see something like broadcom or atheros? | 19:24 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: did it delete again? | 19:25 |

| lyrae | epl: =( | 19:27 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: yay it worked | 19:27 |
| mohdrafie | paul68: is it good idea to change to 8.10 or should I stick with it? | 19:27 |
| paul68 | mohdrafie: if you can upgrade to 8.10 then you have the drivers included | 19:27 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: =P | 19:27 |
| JediMaster | looks like the "auto eth0" connection gets lost every time, but you can setup another and it works after boot | 19:27 |
| paul68 | mohdrafie: otherwhise you have to use ndiswrapper to make it work | 19:27 |
| paul68 | !ndiswrapper |mohdrafie | 19:27 |
| ubottu | mohdrafie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 19:27 |

| pangloss | JediMaster: welcome =) | 19:30 |
| mohdrafie | paul68: Do I need the CD? | 19:30 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: well that's everything sorted, I had a dodgy geforce 8800gtx earlier that was so dead it actually tripped the power in the house twice in a row, so had to replace it and the motherboard, and rebooted to find it crashed half way through due to the new hardware, rebooted and lost the entire root partition, did a e2fsck check in boot disk... | 19:30 |
| pangloss | JediMaster: wow | 19:31 |
| paul68 | mohdrafie: to do the upgrade you don't need the cd just read the upgrade notes in previous post | 19:31 |
| JediMaster | pangloss: then every directory in the root got put into lost+found without the original names. Luckily I guessed all the names, renamed them all, and rebooted and everything worked (but network-manager) | 19:31 |
| mohdrafie | paul68: Cheers for helping. I'll try it first. Thanks a lot for helping. | 19:32 |

| Vlet | I just compiled php with gd support, and upon running checkinstall, I see that it says it's an amd64 package when I'm on x86_64.. wha? | 19:44 |
| jrib | Vlet: that's just the name of the architecture | 19:45 |
| Le_Chat | nobody for my wifi problems ? | 19:45 |
| Kengine | paul68: so I try to find under that if there is an aetheros driver ? | 19:45 |
| Gnea | Vlet: amd64 is the name of the distribution, x86_64 is a generic term for the architecture itself - it encompasses 64bit AMD and Intel EM64T processors | 19:45 |

| Unibob|laptop | aftertoon | 19:47 |
| Vlet | jrib, Gnea: Do you know if there is a way to see a list of all packages installed along with their arch? I'm having trouble getting gd (php5-gd package) working, and I suspect it is because there is a 32 bit binary in the works somewhere | 19:47 |

| KableKiB | oops wrong window... | 19:49 |
| Unibob|laptop | aho_ already there, just not sure about which option, would use most contiguous free space be the desired option? | 19:49 |
| lbo_ken | you got wrong rdesktop is to controle my vista via my linux me its to use linux using the viewer from xp (exemple i go else where and i want to put a file in my ftp i could log as that and put it there ect | 19:49 |
| MungoPark | Gnea: objdump -T libcairo.so.2 shows that the "undefined symbol" is in there, so why does the computer complain ? | 19:49 |
| Gnea | MungoPark: i suggest http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/l-shlibs.html and http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html | 19:50 |

| sipher_ | Nergoth libsafe can be bypassed. | 19:55 |

| sipher_ | Nergoth but it does prevent cook book buffer overflows / format string exploits. | 19:55 |
| Nergoth | sipher_, so I can install libsafe and I don't compromise security by this? | 19:56 |
| mohdrafie | I could not upgrade 8.4 to 8.10 due to no internet connection. Anyone? | 19:56 |
| Nergoth | sipher_, always more security, everything can be bypassed ;p | 19:56 |
| sipher_ | Nergoth it would improve security. But just be aware, an attacker can bypass libsafe ie. return to libc etc.. | 19:56 |

| sipher_ | I'm curious as to why network-manager NEVER works when setup up a vpn connection out of the box? | 19:57 |
| Gnea | mohdrafie: then you'd need to plug in ethernet to upgrade | 19:57 |
| jrib | suspect43: /dev/input/* | 19:58 |
| mohdrafie | will that work? | 19:58 |
| clev | suspect43: most recent kernels will merge all usb devices into /dev/mouse or similar, so they act like a single mouse from xorg's view\ | 19:58 |

| mtc | pangloss: have to start it now since I'm using umts on the same box, to get online | 20:13 |
| dafe | weird it works on konqueror | 20:13 |
| Gnea | sipher_: however, if you, the user, are used to debian and other distributions, then it shouldn't be a problem for you at all to get your hands a little dirty and edit a few scripts by hand. that url that bimberi gave looks like it gives a bit of insight, even though it's based on kde/kubuntu | 20:13 |
| sipher_ | bimberi I just deleted the connection...recreated it with that MPPE option enabled. Still no dice. | 20:13 |

| pangloss | xmatrix: see if there are two instances of it in your sessions? | 20:39 |
| SiDi | coax, i'ld be tempted to point at Konqueror but it's more likely that your flash version is having trouble with your audio config. Try to google (or search your country's doc) about how to get flash properly working with your distrib (+ pulseaudio) | 20:39 |

| xmatrix | brodiesel, well as long as you download the .deb file and have the dependencies on your computer that you are trying to install it on, ubuntu will complete the installation | 20:45 |
| sipher_ | shayan ubuntu comes with clients for both vnc and rdp .. nx is neat. but you'll kill yourself setting it up. | 20:46 |

| Dominik | in ubuntu there is a way to zoom in and out. how do I do this? | 21:06 |
| glacius | djhash: ok | 21:06 |
| WormDrink | meaning if a user tries to fetch a package it should be mirrored | 21:06 |
| glacius | djhash: its checked already | 21:06 |
| djhash | glacius: actually.. do that.. forget about switches.. in the playback tab.. make sure there is a headphone column | 21:06 |
| WormDrink | but i dont want to mirror 30 gb of packages if only 2 gb is being used | 21:07 |

| patmaddox | alright, thanks for the explanations everyone | 21:18 |

| brodiesel | any other way to download and save something while on the disc that can be accessed in the install? | 21:19 |
| BWM | ...nope | 21:19 |
| BWM | still nothing | 21:19 |
| BWM | all my settings are correct; I've checked the guide | 21:19 |

| id10t | having some probs setting up gdm for xdmcp in ubuntu 8.04... i've enabled it in the gdm.conf and can connect from local host either with X :1 -query or Xnest :1 -query, but remote machines can't. No FW in the way, etc | 21:19 |
| nxxs | hi nochmal! | 21:20 |
| karsten | berty642: Mounting in it your host OS and exporting the filesystem (Samba, NFS) is probably your best bet for that. | 21:20 |
| zsquareplusc | BWM: see "system->info about ubuntu" menu. | 21:20 |
| SiDi | brodiesel, please try to write "SiDi" in your messages adressed to me as i'm on 5 channels | 21:20 |
| Sinister | can you run vuze 4.0 in 8.10 64 bit ? | 21:20 |
| BWM | it says I have 8.10 | 21:20 |
| Things | Why wonmt it let me resize the partition? :( | 21:20 |
| BWM | not 8.10 beta | 21:20 |
| BWM | XD | 21:20 |
| karsten | id10t: You'll have to disable the "notcp" (I think) option on the xserver, if you want to connect directly over a non-tunneled (eg: ssh) session. | 21:21 |
| chainoo | #ubuntu-es | 21:21 |

| woody86 | when you're building a dual-boot machine, you install windows first, and then ubuntu, right? Or is it the other way around? | 21:21 |
| Things | But it wont let me change the size | 21:21 |
| SiDi | brodiesel, no idea about that weird message you had about the CD. other ways would be to check how to make your own repository (complicated afaik), or take the packages from packages.ubuntu.com but it may be hard to find the good ones and dependencies | 21:21 |
| cars__ | woody86, windows first, then Ubuntu | 21:21 |
| id10t | karsten, thanks! | 21:21 |
| BWM | Okay, sorry. | 21:21 |
| pangloss | Things: you rebooted computer with gparted live cd? | 21:21 |
| d00kiejones | hello | 21:21 |
| pangloss | Things: and it would not let you resize? | 21:22 |
| SiDi | brodiesel, either, get an ethernet cable for the time to install your drivers ^^ | 21:22 |
| woody86 | cars__- ok, that's what I thought. Thanks :) | 21:22 |
| Things | Ive got the latest Ubuntu live CD ? | 21:22 |
| karsten | id10t: I'm trying to find where that's set. | 21:22 |
| pangloss | Things: no you need gparted to resize partitions | 21:22 |
| OxDeadC0de | woody86 you can do it the other way around too, but windows will erase grub from the mbr | 21:22 |
| OxDeadC0de | that's why most people do it windows first then lin | 21:22 |
| karsten | id10t: Essentially: X won't listen to remote connections by default now. It's a security feature, as X sends all traffic clear over the local net. | 21:22 |
| brodiesel | sidi: thanks, yeah i share wireless with the neighbors, but that might be the only way to do it. thanks again! | 21:22 |
| id10t | karsten, i can find it in gdm.conf | 21:22 |
| pangloss | Things: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ | 21:22 |

| woody86 | thanks | 21:22 |
| cars__ | jonaskoelker, I'm asking if I can mount an ext3 partition at a specific directory (/home/user/morespace) on my main partition. The one I'm trying to mount is an old Debian or Ubuntu install which went awry and I reinstalled on another partition. I'd still like to keep the old /home directory, but don't need the rest of the OS on there. Does that make more sense? | 21:22 |
| karsten | OxDeadC0de: It's easy enough to replace. | 21:23 |

| jonaskoelker | cars__: you have one partition with a lot of data in /home/cars/*, and you have another partition with a lot of data *except* in /home/cars/*, and you want to have a lot of data everywhere. Right? | 21:26 |
| karsten | Juaco: Usually with a GRUB vga= option. You might also be able to use another utility whose name is escaping me. | 21:26 |
| wolfwalker | Why will the latest Ubuntu 8.10 not boot on my laptop unless quiet splash is turned off? | 21:26 |

| wolfwalker | And why is xchat-gnome the only thing that shows up when I search synaptic for xchat? | 21:27 |
| id10t | levander, yes it is. but since it is a moto phone, i'm not sure if it has a partition. one of my students did a demo of moto4lin and it worked well, as long as he ran it as root via sudo | 21:27 |
| fonzarelli | wolfwalker: have you tried letting it sit and attempt to boot for like 5 minutes | 21:27 |

| fonzarelli | wolfwalker: k, with Hardy I thought it wasn't booting but it turned out it was waiting for something to time out at boot time from the cd, not sure what | 21:27 |
| wolfwalker | Yeah, Hardy is cool. Intrepid is what is giving me a fit. | 21:27 |
| karsten | Juaco: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html | 21:27 |

| ilia | In the last X.org (in ubuntu 8.10) the input driver (evdev) for both mouse and keyboard works by default through HAL. I run 2 X servers simultaneously and need to specify which keyboard/mouse is used by which server. Right now I've disabled HAL support (Option "AutoAddDevices" "false") and use an older method (Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:02.1-usb-0:10.2:1.0-event-kbd"). Anybody knows how can I make HAL tell about some mouse/kbd to 1st | 21:28 |

| karsten | ironmedic: To permanently change this, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (as root), and edit the options lines (they're commented) at the top of the file. | 21:30 |
| Adylas | Hello, I like my hostname to be set by the record in my DNS at boot up with Hardy, is this possible ? | 21:30 |
| jonaskoelker | ilia: in which section does one set AutoAddDevices? | 21:30 |
| karsten | ironmedic: You want to modify the kopt line. Add the same values (acpi=no noacpi) to that. Then run (as root) update-grub | 21:31 |
| ilia | jonaskoelker: ServerFlags | 21:31 |
| karsten | ironmedic: At that point the option should be persistent. Reboot to test. | 21:31 |

| wolfwalker | Does anyone know how I can find regular ole XChat (NOT XChat-Gnome, which is a severely locked-down program) in Synaptic in Intrepid? | 21:31 |
| cars__ | jonaskoelker, I'll try to explain it better. It's something like that. I have two partitions. My main partition which is / (partition A), and another partition ("Partition B" an old Ubuntu install which I don't need anymore except for its /home directory). I want to mount partition B onto my current /home/user/morespace directory, effectively merging the two filesystems. | 21:31 |

| neil_d | I have a problem with cron :( The cron.daily scripts are meant to run at 3.25am but are running at 7.30-8.00am why ? | 21:32 |
| karsten | Adylas: You can run preup/postup commands when you bring up networking. Might be able to hook it in that way. I wouldn't generally do that. | 21:32 |
| j2daosh | hey all | 21:32 |
| karsten | Adylas: Hostname should be canonical and hardcoded. | 21:32 |

| jonaskoelker | cars__: wait, you have data in /dev/B/home/cars you want to keep? | 21:34 |
| j2daosh | mount -o loop /media/external/WANTED.ISO /mnt/movies | 21:34 |
| j2daosh | i see the VIDEO_TS got loaded, but not the audio | 21:34 |
| pangloss | j2daosh: then you navigated to /mnt/movies .....? | 21:34 |
| neil_d | karsten: I don't know, the 'date' program gives the correct time. | 21:34 |
| j2daosh | yes | 21:34 |

| j2daosh | dragon player attempted to load the video file, but couldn't fined the media | 21:35 |
| Adylas | karsten: Well, I dont know if you remember that time but redhat was asking in his setup if you want to set a hostname or get the one from DNS. I know its a special setup but its nice when you have a lots of clients. | 21:35 |
| cars__ | jonaskoelker, yes. Otherwise I'd just format the partition. Would it be easier to just back that data up, format it, and reinstall the whole thing over again, making a separate /home partition out of partition B? | 21:35 |
| hateball | wolfwalker♂ sudo apt-get install xchat, should give you the vanilla version | 21:35 |
| OxDeadC0de | wolfwalker aptitude search xchat returns xchat for me, try enabling the other repositories in software sources | 21:35 |
| pangloss | j2daosh: ever try vlc? | 21:35 |
| j2daosh | i think sound works, its just the mount doesn't show the AUDIO_TS folder | 21:35 |
| karsten | neil_d: What's your TZ offset? 'date -R' gives that in RFC 2822 (mail) format | 21:36 |
| j2daosh | after i ran that mount command it only shows VIDEO_TS in the /movies dir | 21:36 |
| wolfwalker | hateball tried that. reloaded all repositories, added all repos I could think of, etc, still wouldn't give me REAL XChat. | 21:36 |
| pangloss | j2daosh: are you sure your ISO isnt corrupt? | 21:36 |
| Flannel | wolfwalker: You simply need universe, and the package is "xchat", please pastebin your sources.list and we'll take a look | 21:36 |

| hateball | wolfwalker♂ Flannel is right, Universe is needed | 21:37 |
| jonaskoelker | cars__: I'd do "find /home/cars | sort > /home/cars/A-files.txt" and "find /mnt/B/home/cars | sort > /home/cars/B-files.txt", then "combine A-files.txt and B-files.txt" (install moreutils) | 21:37 |

| karsten | neil_d: Nope, it's not that then. You have cron or anacron installed? | 21:38 |
| neil_d | karsten: by my calculations, that would mean an 2pm if it was using UTC. | 21:38 |
| jonaskoelker | cars__: oh well, do you have room for all your old files on your new home? Then just backup, nuke from orbit and restore. | 21:38 |

| Flannel | wolfwalker: pastebin your sources list please, and the output of 'sudo apt-get update' | 21:38 |
| Adylas | karsten: ;-) | 21:38 |
| BrickHaus | chadeldridge: Thanks. Is there a good tool probe and make xorg.conf file. My rez is capped at 800 by 600 | 21:38 |
| neil_d | karsten: it appears to have both. | 21:39 |
| Flannel | feindbild: Why do you need 5.2.6? | 21:39 |
| philippe_ | wolfwalker, to select. By default, only application maintain by Canonical is shown, and Xchat is not in their list | 21:39 |
| karsten | Adylas: I've worked with large farms. Setting something that checks periodically for the assigned name of a host, and writing that to a file periodically, might be doable (so a chronjob'd check). What happens if DNS isn't up or something else goes wrong? I'd still like to have something persistent offering a hostname. | 21:39 |
| karsten | neil_d: anacron can result in jobs not running when scheduled. You also want to check TZ values for cron and such. You can examine a running cron process's environment in /proc/<PID>/env | 21:40 |
| neil_d | karsten: maybe I should stop anacron | 21:40 |
| karsten | neil_d: It's an ascii-nul terminated string, so you'll need to unpack it.... | 21:40 |
| cars__ | jonaskoelker, the problem is that partition B is an old (2005ish) install. My current / partition (which includes /home, unfortunately) is only 11GB total (2.8GB free). Partition B's /home is 13GB. | 21:40 |

| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 21:41 |
| jonaskoelker | cars__: in that case, move everything to B and use that as the new home | 21:41 |
| Flannel | wolfwalker: No, universe is enabled by default, but add/remove only shows a small subset of packages (which are recommended). Synaptic gives you full blown repos | 21:41 |
| karsten | neil_d: ... modulo s/self/<PID>/ there as that looks at the calling process. | 21:41 |
| jonaskoelker | if you're happing running your OS from A | 21:41 |

| dangsos | can anyone with good direction skills teach me a few basic things that I can't seem to find on my own about launching a program after I download it? | 22:23 |
| j2daosh | dag nabbit | 22:24 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: did you download it from the internet ? | 22:24 |
| j2daosh | is there any music/chimes preloaded on kubuntu? i need to test the sound | 22:24 |
| dangsos | yes prince_jammys | 22:24 |
| sar4j | dangsos: what did you get | 22:24 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: there are no directions at their web site? what package is it? | 22:24 |
| Gokul | after upgrading to 8.10 my ~/.bash_profile doesn;t get sourced when starting a new shell anymore | 22:25 |
| dangsos | the file is called kismet and also aircrack...I'm trying to teach myself some things about WEP encyption and wireless security | 22:25 |
| snip3r | b3z3rk3r: n where do i find the forum page, in the forums? | 22:25 |
| RickZilla | Any way to run Windows Live Writer on ubuntu? | 22:25 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: those are available through apt | 22:25 |
| dangsos | apt = ? | 22:25 |
| Gokul | am I supposed to be exporting env variables elsewhere now? | 22:25 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: synaptic, apt-get, etc. can be used to install them automatically | 22:25 |
| sar4j | dangsos: run that debfile again, it will have a tab that lists installed files | 22:25 |
| sar4j | look at them, may be you will get an idea | 22:25 |
| Gokul | anyone? | 22:26 |
| dangsos | I've used synaptic but I can't find where to execute the file | 22:26 |
| === dmsuperm1n is now known as dmsuperman | ||
| prince_jammys | dangsos: so you've already installed them using synaptic? | 22:26 |
| dangsos | I've read it should show up under >applications>internet>(myfilehere) but it's not there | 22:26 |
| Unibob|laptop | hmmm..lots of errors while upgrading to 8.10. >.> | 22:26 |
| dangsos | correct prince_jammys | 22:26 |
| karsten | dangsos: apt is the package management system. aptitude, apt-get, synaptic, etc., are front-ends to apt. | 22:27 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: are they gui apps or command-line apps? | 22:27 |
| sar4j | dangsos: open that .deb file again, it will have a tab that lists installed files | 22:27 |
| dangsos | command line apps | 22:27 |
| * B3z3rk3r helps unibob look for the rollback button | 22:27 | |
| dangsos | well i know aircrack is command line, i think kismet is gui | 22:27 |
| Unibob|laptop | it's installing now, might just be cause the needed files are in use maybe? | 22:27 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: dpkg -L kismet will show you the files it installed. the executables are probably in /usr/bin. ie. /usr/bin/kismet | 22:28 |
| B1g0lCAQ | hello everyone | 22:28 |

| george_ | or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla): what i have to do? | 22:28 |
| B1g0lCAQ | can i pm you? | 22:28 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: in any case, if the name of the executable is 'kismet' you can just type 'kismet' in a terminal to run it. | 22:28 |
| B3z3rk3r | B1g0lCAQ sure | 22:28 |

| === nicholas_ is now known as Tetracomm | ||
| dangsos | okay and how do i intiate a command like to execute? | 22:29 |
| erUSUL | dangsos: in unix there is no extension to executable files | 22:29 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: executables in your path usually don't have an extension, though they can. extensions don't mean anything | 22:29 |

| edd | hi, I'm getting a blank screen after login, anyone got any ideas what i can do? | 22:30 |
| karsten | dangsos: Linux identifies files by magic | 22:30 |
| erUSUL | dangsos: just type the excutable file name | 22:30 |
| prince_jammys | dangsos: simply type the name of the command. try 'kismet' | 22:30 |
| dangsos | ok | 22:30 |
| === Bilbo_Boy is now known as izinucs | ||
| karsten | dangsos: There's a "magic number" at the start of a file, which tells the kernel what interpreter to user. In addition, executables (binaries, scripts, or other) are given "execute" permission. man chmod | 22:30 |
| awharrier | it appears to be the ati restricted drivers i installed that are causing issues with x, drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1 (No such device) | 22:31 |
| karsten | dangsos: You can check a file's type with the "file" command. "file /bin/bash" for example. | 22:31 |
| karsten | dangsos: "man file" for more information. | 22:31 |
| awharrier | can i revert back to the standard display driver or what can i do to fix the ati one? | 22:31 |

| jwormy | bummer ;) | 22:45 |
| wolfwalker | pleaseHelp you could also install VirtualBox and run Winblows from in there. | 22:45 |
| pangloss | ubuntu_nub: woops sorr that one wasnt for you. The reason gparted is skipping 2-4 is because logical partitions start at sda5 | 22:46 |
| karsten | wolfwalker: WRT syslinux: it's a bootloader, works for CDROMs, you'd go through some trix to create a bootable CD which would allow you to boot from various media, including, say, USB, HD, CD, and/or network. SYSLINUX is related to another boot tool called PXEBOOT, created by the same guy. | 22:46 |
| tripitakit | pleaseHelp, but i dont get the cirtual cdrom idea sorry :) | 22:46 |
| n8tuser | Serafeim-> what chip does your wifi have? | 22:46 |
| tripitakit | *virtual | 22:46 |
| stage3 | jwormy, you could use the alternative cd install for update it | 22:46 |
| jgb | wolfwalker: if the bios doesn't support booting from USB, I doubt you'll be able to get USB booting going, but I might be wrong! | 22:46 |
| wolfwalker | Yeah karsten I'm looking through there. A bit lost at the moment though. | 22:46 |
| ubuntu_nub | pangloss: oh. ok, man, thanks for the info. I'll google a bit from here. | 22:46 |
| jwormy | we've got a t1 here at the new office that we're sharing with a civil engineering firm.. super slowwwwww | 22:47 |
| B3z3rk3r | wolfwalker jgb is right. if there is no usb boot option it means that it isnt suported by your BIOS and therefore wont work | 22:47 |
| B1g0lCAQ | hey b3z3rk3r, it didnt work | 22:47 |
| ubuntu_nub | a bootable cd capable of transferring to usb would be pretty awesome. | 22:47 |
| wolfwalker | I thought there was such a thing | 22:47 |

| esr | I have a new program that might be useful. Where do I go to request Ubuntu packaging for it? | 22:53 |
| dmitriyv | emma you have to account for all bad sectors and stuff the the HDs cut out, so if its a 160 gig HDD you usually see it at maybe 145 or something | 22:53 |
| n8tuser | emma maybe a hidden partition is checked? i dont know, look around in the settings | 22:53 |
| jdautz | emma, be carefull Gb means 1000 or 1024 bites | 22:53 |

| TheBase | what is that and how did it get there? | 23:01 |
| koshari | swaj this exact function is available on the 8.10 disc | 23:01 |
| mohdrafie | How do I get windows driver (.inf)? | 23:02 |
| n8tuser | fiber-> same antenna | 23:02 |
| zsquareplusc | swaj: yes, there is a menu in system.>settings. look at it when you have booted the live cd on an other pc | 23:02 |
| oxmox_ | hi i have a bit trouble with 8.10 on a usb stick i used the auto creater but if i start from usb i became the "could not find kernel image" error | 23:02 |
| Baversjo_ | Is it possible to deny access with PAM limits instead of just disconnecting the user that is trying to autheniticate? | 23:02 |
| dmitriyv | barlekin> it says SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot asign requested address | 23:02 |
| swaj | zsquareplusc: is there a way to do it from Windows? | 23:02 |
| erUSUL | TheBase: ethn:avahi exist in all ubuntu boxes and afaik can not interfere with other connections | 23:02 |
| fiber | n8tuser: so, any antenna that works with 802.11b will work for 802.11n? i've been seeing antenna that are specific to different drafts | 23:02 |
| n8tuser | Baversjo_-> yeah PAM is the right place for that..i dont know the correct configs though off hand | 23:03 |
| pengo | how do i change fscks from every 24 boots to every 500 boots? | 23:03 |
| zsquareplusc | swaj: maybe. id run the cd in a virtual machine like virtualbox, but there may be more direct ways | 23:03 |
| n8tuser | fiber-> it will work | 23:03 |
| swaj | zsquareplusc: oh, good idea. I could probably just boot the CD from virtualbox and make the thumb drive that way. Thanks for the heads up. | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | pengo: man tune2fs | 23:03 |
| koshari | swaj you could use a VM in windows to boot the live disc but its a bit of a long winded way of doing it | 23:03 |
| pengo | erUSUL: thanks | 23:03 |
| Brucee | how do i make ubuntu server listen on a certain port? | 23:03 |

| GleepGlop | anyone know which which vncviewer for windows works with Gnome's vino-server encryption? | 23:04 |
| n8tuser | Brucee-> is the server services that you configure to listen | 23:04 |
| zsquareplusc | Brucee: start a service of your choixe.. what do you want to do? | 23:04 |
| Brucee | let say port 6000, i want to be listening | 23:04 |
| n8tuser | Brucee-> it is the server services that you configure to listen | 23:04 |
| zsquareplusc | Brucee: nc -l 6000 | 23:04 |

| devil___ | k | 23:06 |
| zsquareplusc | Brucee: no, that is just a command for the console to test it. you need to know what service you really want to run.. webserver? ssh? irc? something completely different? | 23:06 |
| n8tuser | Brucee-> what ever server services you are running, | 23:06 |
| Brucee | irc server | 23:06 |
| n8tuser | Brucee-> zsquareplusc made it clear | 23:06 |
| Brucee | but i dont see it when i do netstat | 23:07 |
| zsquareplusc | Brucee: then install a irc server package and configure it | 23:07 |
| Brucee | zsquareplusc i did that already | 23:07 |

| zsquareplusc | Brucee: then there is probably a config file in /etc/<whateverapplication> you can edit | 23:07 |

| mohdrafie | Help please. How do I get windows driver (.inf)? I've extracted ndiswrapper, but no .inf file :( | 23:08 |
| ironmedic | does anyone know how i can override the i815 chipset resolutions? i can run 1024x768 on windows xp but not xubuntu | 23:08 |
| zsquareplusc | mohdrafie: you need to get the windows drivers from your manufacturers website. the ndiswrapper does not have the drivers included. it uses the one you provide | 23:09 |
| n8tuser | mohdrafie-> you have to get it from the windows driver | 23:09 |
| Edgar | hello everyone, I came from Windows, and with WIndows I write the letter 'ñ' just pressing Alt+164, here with ubuntu I can't, I have to go to Characters Map | 23:09 |
| zsquareplusc | Edgar: there is a tool in the application->addons menu | 23:09 |
| Edgar | how can I set that I can write the letter 'ñ' in Ubuntu? | 23:09 |
| zsquareplusc | Edgar: and you can type a lot of special characters with alt+letter/alt-gr+letter etc | 23:10 |
| ironmedic | does anyone know how i can override the i815 chipset resolutions? i can run 1024x768 on windows xp but not xubuntu | 23:10 |
| oxmox_ | >ironmedic 1024x768 is a cipset resolution it has to work | 23:11 |
| ironmedic | it does not show up in my resolution menu | 23:11 |
| ironmedic | i only have 640x480 and 800x600 only | 23:11 |
| n8tuser | ironmedic-> you need to edit xorg.conf and insert that resolution if it doesnt exist | 23:11 |
| Edgar | well. I'm using ubuntu in spanish | 23:11 |
| oxmox_ | do you use a tft or a crt ? | 23:11 |
| ironmedic | do you have the command line to input for it? | 23:12 |
| zsquareplusc | Edgar: does your keyboard usually have dead keys? e.g. so that you can type ~+n to get ñ? that's how i have it | 23:12 |
| mhall119 | ironmedic, which version of Ubuntu are you using? | 23:12 |
| Edgar | no | 23:12 |

| kaatil | greetings... i have a problem with 8.10 freshed install on my computer. The first time after it is installed.. so x11 display on the screen properly.. which is good. i copied xorg.conf(before install nvidia driver). Then I did installed it and reboot. it gave the fatal server error: no screens found. so i try to return the xorg.conf to the original one, still the same fatal server error. Strange... it seem work fine on previous v | 23:13 |
| oxmox_ | have you specify your monitor | 23:13 |
| zsquareplusc | Edgar: you could set it to english intl. with dead keys. then you can combine charcters that way | 23:13 |
| mhall119 | you shouldn't need to edit xorg.conf in Intrepid.... | 23:13 |
| mhall119 | was your monitor plugged in when you booted? | 23:13 |
| kaatil | yes. | 23:13 |
| n8tuser | ironmedic-> modeline "1024x768@60" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync -hsync but be careful of the freq, here its 65Hz on mine | 23:13 |
| ironmedic | ok let me look into this command | 23:14 |
| mhall119 | kaatil, is the "nvidia" driver listed in your xorg.conf? | 23:14 |
| n8tuser | ironmedic-> thats not a command, thats an entry in xorg.conf | 23:14 |
| jarco | was in the ff update oday something to ould have coused me to not being able to watch videos in it? | 23:14 |
| mhall119 | iconmedic, it's not a command, it's a line of text to put in your xorg.conf | 23:14 |
| mhall119 | jarco, maybe, if it broke the Flash plugin | 23:15 |
| jarco | it didnt i think | 23:15 |
| oxmox_ | sudo nano /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 23:15 |
| jarco | youtube works ... | 23:15 |
| mhall119 | did you restart Firefox after the update? | 23:15 |
| mohdrafie | How do I extract files from the windows driver? | 23:15 |
| kaatil | hold a moment | 23:15 |
| mhall119 | oh, so is it the Totem plugin not working? | 23:16 |
| jarco | seems like it | 23:16 |
| jarco | there where tomtum updates today | 23:16 |
| jarco | i niticed that | 23:16 |
| kaatil | yes mhall1119 | 23:16 |
| truebosko | When I go to my computer and click on one of my NTFS drives from a windows partition, Ubuntu mounts it. How can I make this automatic on bootup? | 23:16 |
| mhall119 | jarco, have you rebooted the whole computer? | 23:16 |
| oxmox_ | hi i have a bit trouble with 8.10 on a usb stick i used the auto creater but if i start from usb i became the "could not find kernel image" error | 23:16 |

| kaatil | 8600 gts, mhall119 | 23:17 |
| zsquareplusc | alec if you can run the livecd, check out the system->settings menu. there is a USB disk creator | 23:17 |
| LinuxKeitaro | hi all | 23:17 |
| just1primate | howdy! | 23:17 |
| truebosko | n8tuser: thanks | 23:18 |
| LinuxKeitaro | usually when a new ubuntu comes out I'm able to upgrade via the update manager | 23:18 |
| LinuxKeitaro | doesn't seem to be the case with 8.10 | 23:18 |
| mohdrafie | How do I extract files from the windows driver? | 23:18 |
| jonathon | what number vrsion was feisty? like hardy is 8.10 so what was feisty? | 23:18 |
| LinuxKeitaro | did something change? | 23:18 |
| mhall119 | kaatil, the binary nVidia driver hasn't been updated to the new Xorg yet | 23:18 |
| tj83_ | LinuxKeitaro, update-manager -d from the terminal then you can upgrade | 23:18 |
| zsquareplusc | apropos, usb boot with the provided tool. i just got a crc error... hardware failure or failure to prepare the stick correctly? | 23:18 |
| n8tuser | mohdrafie-> cabextract if you dont have it, install the package | 23:18 |
| jarco | nvm guys i found it :D | 23:18 |
| kaatil | really? meh | 23:18 |
| alec | zsquareplusc: would that be the best way for me to run ubuntu with all my settings and mail without installing on a computer? | 23:18 |
| LinuxKeitaro | tj83_ is this a change from before? I dont' remember ever doing that | 23:18 |
| kaatil | for 8600 gts, it is not updated? | 23:18 |
| mhall119 | yeah, nVidia is slow putting it out | 23:18 |
| jarco | didn close ff completely after updates | 23:19 |
| kaatil | feh. | 23:19 |
| mhall119 | it was in the 8.10 release notes | 23:19 |
| just1primate | Has anyone had ANY success with an ATI Radeon 9250? Seems like every time I try to install either the official ATI fglrx, or the included fglrx packages..it always slams me into the low graphics settings | 23:19 |
| zsquareplusc | LinuxKeitaro: you have to switch away from the LTS version | 23:19 |
| jarco | there was one running on desktop 3 | 23:19 |
| jonathon | tj83 no one is answering lol | 23:19 |
| tj83_ | LinuxKeitaro, not sure... i have only run 8.04 and 8.10 | 23:19 |

| kaatil | how to revert xorg to old one? | 23:19 |
| LinuxKeitaro | I figured they'd be trying to keep people on LTS that want to | 23:19 |
| LinuxKeitaro | thanks | 23:19 |
| mhall119 | not sure how to rever xorg | 23:19 |
| kaatil | mhmm | 23:20 |
| brad1 | prince_jammys: remember me? | 23:20 |
| just1primate | kaatil, under /etc/X11 do you have an xorg.conf.(something)? | 23:20 |
| zsquareplusc | LinuxKeitaro: actually http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading descibes it much better | 23:20 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: how did it go? | 23:20 |
| brad1 | not so well | 23:20 |
| prince_jammys | brad1: complete destruction? | 23:20 |
| zsquareplusc | who is the master of ubottu factoids here? | 23:20 |
| tj83_ | kaatil, cd to /etc/X11/ then sudo cp the old file to the xorg.conf file. | 23:20 |
| brad1 | well no ... just no improvement ... still getting the same errors no matter what i do | 23:20 |
| just1primate | Has anyone had ANY success with an ATI Radeon 9250? Seems like every time I try to install either the official ATI fglrx, or the included fglrx packages..it always slams me into the low graphics settings | 23:21 |

| mhall119 | kaatil, remove the binary driver, and reboot, should get X back | 23:21 |
| falconfox | is there an IRC program for ubuntu that will tile windows, so you can see multiple chat rooms at once? | 23:21 |
| AciD | hi | 23:21 |
| AciD | I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and noticed the new gnome-display-properties does not ask for a confirmation when you change resolution, how can you get that behavior back ? | 23:22 |
| kaatil | ok mhall119 | 23:22 |
| kaatil | i hope so. | 23:22 |
| kaatil | brb | 23:22 |
| mhall119 | if not, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:22 |
| mhall119 | should get the default Xorg settings back | 23:22 |
| just1primate | what I found odd about running dpkg-reconfigure, is it doesnt go through the monitor and card steps like it used to | 23:23 |
| Sertse | hi | 23:23 |
| falconfox | is there a IRC progrom similiar to mIRC that will allow you to tile chat windows, so you can watch more than 1 chat at a time? | 23:23 |
| mhall119 | just1primate, I think that's because the default configuration is no configuration, Xorg configures itself when it starts up | 23:23 |
| node357 | falconfox, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat | 23:23 |

| zsquareplusc | B1g0lCAQ: so you dont booted from the cd, you ran a programm on it? | 23:34 |

| B1g0lCAQ | yah | 23:35 |
| node357 | B1g0lCAQ, you generally need a CD to install the system, someone correct me if I'm wrong | 23:36 |
| zsquareplusc | vonderer: do you seea loudspeeker symbol in the bar at the top of the screen? besides the clock usually | 23:36 |
| markelhas | how can i install ubuntu 8.10 without losing my user settings? | 23:36 |
| djiezes | vonderer: the gnome volume applet, loudspeaker near systemtray | 23:36 |
| mhall119 | node357: it sounds like he used a program to mount the ISO as a CD under windows | 23:36 |
| zsquareplusc | markelhas: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 23:36 |
| mhall119 | markelhas: back up your home directory, and restore after | 23:36 |
| node357 | yeah mhall119, which only works until the system reboots | 23:36 |
| vonderer | djiezes: zsquareplusc, thanks. so I have to load gnome-panel after all? :( | 23:36 |
| * vonderer is in FluxBox | 23:36 | |
| zsquareplusc | vonderer: no, are you using kubuntu? | 23:37 |
| mhall119 | node357: but it would work long enough for Wubi to install it | 23:37 |
| zsquareplusc | ah | 23:37 |
| djiezes | vonderer: no idea, but that's how i do it. | 23:37 |
| zsquareplusc | vonderer: maybe alsamixer | 23:37 |
| onthefence9283 | so firefox and nautilus are bugging out on me ..... | 23:37 |
| B1g0lCAQ | so i need to use a CD? | 23:37 |
| node357 | yep B1g0lCAQ, afraid so | 23:37 |
| nek1 | I need help for my driver nvidia getforce 4400Ti | 23:37 |
| vonderer | zsquareplusc: alsamixer shows only pulseaudio controls: one volume bar and one mic bar | 23:37 |
| mhall119 | B1g0lCAQ: if you installed using Wubi, it should have installed to a local file, no need for the CD anymore | 23:37 |
| mhall119 | nek1: nVidia hasn't put out new binaries for Intrepid | 23:38 |
| zsquareplusc | vonderer: you can teach it to display more controls and other devices. it should say something in the help | 23:38 |
| B1g0lCAQ | ok, so am i missing a set then? | 23:38 |
| Bangers | Can someone point me in the right direction for automatically creating Ubuntu Virtual Machines as part of a Hudson Build process? | 23:38 |
| Mias | hi | 23:38 |
| mhall119 | B1g0lCAQ: if you went through the install process without errors, it should have added an entry into the Windows boot loader to let you boot into Ubuntu | 23:38 |
| polaco | hola | 23:39 |
| mhall119 | Vista may not be honoring that, I don't know if Wubi works well with Vista or not, I've only ever tried it on XP | 23:39 |
| Mias | what does "ubiquity"? | 23:39 |
| === adam is now known as Guest13400 | ||
| mhall119 | ubiquity is the Ubuntu installer | 23:39 |
| node357 | mhall119, it works with Vista | 23:39 |
| nek1 | in version 8.04 it is working now in 8.10 it not support | 23:39 |
| B1g0lCAQ | it went through with no errors, but i dont get to choose | 23:39 |
| B1g0lCAQ | thats why im here :/ | 23:39 |
| mhall119 | nek1: 8.10 comes with a new version of Xorg, nVidia hasn't released binary drivers for the new version of xOrg | 23:40 |
| onthefence9283 | firefox, and nautilus are bugging out on me, and my system monitor won't load to see what is making my CPU run at 99%, would a restart be a good idea? or could it possibly be bad? i'm working on a project and i can't lose my worked (i already saved, but just in case it corrupts) | 23:40 |
| mhall119 | B1g0lCAQ: Vista probably has a control panel or something to modify the boot loader, you'll have to find that I think | 23:40 |
| joat1 | i just installed ubuntu and im having problems with the network connections. can someone help me get the wireless connection to work? | 23:40 |
| zsquareplusc | B1g0lCAQ: wubi runs ist as "windows application" so you'd find it in the start menu. if you booted the cd and used to normal installer. you'd reboot and get grub to choose what you boot | 23:40 |
| mhall119 | zsquareplusc: Wubi used the Windows boot loader, not grub | 23:41 |
| ironmedic | hi guys, i cannot get my resolution higher than 800x600 on my intel i815 laptop. windows xp runs 1024 for me no problem | 23:41 |
| * zsquareplusc has never actually tried wubi | 23:41 | |
| ironmedic | i edited xorg.conf and it didnt work | 23:41 |
| VazdyK | i need an application that clears the RAM. | 23:41 |
| nek1 | mhall119: Ok thanks | 23:41 |
| icqnumber_ | is apt-get build-dep <package> equivalent to zypper si -d <package>? | 23:41 |
| mhall119 | ironmedic: google "useEDID", sounds like xOrg may not recognize your monitor's capabilities | 23:41 |
| vonderer | zsquareplusc: got it, thanks. alsamixer -c 0 does the trick | 23:41 |
| noksious | Hello why i have this error when i want to install something .deb error: ( http://79.126.193.108/Screenshot.jpg ) | 23:41 |
| Mias | mhall119: hmm, I clicked away the "installin, plz wait" window to look what "extended" would offer, then I clicked "install" again (pII 350) and nothing seems to happen since 15 mins | 23:41 |
| zsquareplusc | mhall119: and you get a selection at boot time? not in the start menu? | 23:41 |
| B1g0lCAQ | i used wubi from an ISO | 23:42 |
| noksious | how to fix this .deb error ( http://79.126.193.108/Screenshot.jpg ) | 23:42 |
| mhall119 | zsquareplusc: yes | 23:42 |
| jgoguen | noksious: that means you don't have everything installed to install the package | 23:42 |
| jgoguen | noksious: also please only ask once every so often...if someone knows the answer, they'll answer you | 23:42 |
| mhall119 | Mias: sorry, what was your question again? | 23:42 |
| vonderer | djiezes: Saying «why? i was planning on doing the same.» you meant you were going to uninstall pulseaudio? | 23:42 |
| noksious | jgoguen, i see i need to install libssl0.0.9.6 | 23:42 |
| noksious | how to install it ? | 23:42 |
| VazdyK | know anybody any application that clears RAM ? | 23:42 |
| noksious | ok sorry.. | 23:42 |
| Flannel | VazdyK: define clear? | 23:43 |
| noksious | how to install libssl0.0.9.6 on linux ubuntu 7.10 plz help me :( ? | 23:43 |
| jgoguen | noksious: no problem...the fastest way is to use the Terminal... go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal | 23:43 |
| Mias | mhall119: is it possible that clicking away this wait-window is harmful to the install process? | 23:43 |
| noksious | jgoguen, and ? | 23:43 |
| B1g0lCAQ | should i just try 8.04 again? | 23:43 |
| mhall119 | noksious, what version of libssl is in the 7.10 repos? | 23:43 |
| VazdyK | i need an application that unload unneded libraries from RAM and defragment it | 23:44 |
| vonderer | djiezes: there were two reasons I did it: first, ALSA hanged on shutdown and second, pulseaudio works separately for each user | 23:44 |
| jgoguen | noksious: then enter this command - sudo aptitude install libssl | 23:44 |
| mhall119 | Mias: I really don't know what you're asking, I'm trying to follow too many conversations | 23:44 |
| Commie_Cary | how do I recompile the kernal? | 23:44 |
| Mias | I dont see mke3fs in top but ubiquity + install + xorg use 100% cpu | 23:44 |

| DarkKnight | hey how do i change my desktop resolution | 23:44 |

| Mias | mhall119: old chatting-malaise ;} | 23:44 |
| mhall119 | Mias, I'm not sure, are you running ubiquity from a liveCD? | 23:44 |
| jgoguen | noksious: press Enter, then put in your password when asked, and just push Enter at any other prompts | 23:45 |
| Mias | mhall119: yes I am | 23:45 |
| vonderer | djiezes: but I reinstalled pulse just after I heard high frequency whistling. My sound adapter is bad( | 23:45 |
| mhall119 | Mias, what stage is it at? | 23:45 |
| DarkKnight | hey how do i change my desktop resolution | 23:45 |
| jgoguen | noksious: when that finishes, try installing Yahoo Messenger again | 23:45 |
| noksious | jgoguen, done dude ( Building tag database... Done ) | 23:45 |
| mhall119 | DarkKnight System->Preferences->Screen Resolution | 23:45 |
| Mias | mhall119: "ready to install" | 23:45 |
| mhall119 | did you get an error message or anything? | 23:46 |
| Mias | is the last window before this wait-thing | 23:46 |
| vonderer | btw, about pulseaudio. Was the problem with ALSA hanged on shutdown solved? | 23:46 |
| noksious | jgoguen, i tryed but didn't works :| | 23:46 |
| zsquareplusc | vonderer: that may be a feedback loop. check if you play back the output again or soething like that. mute unneeded channels | 23:46 |
| jgoguen | noksious: was it the command that failed? | 23:46 |
| Mias | mhall119: no but I clicked this wait--- away | 23:46 |
| B1g0lCAQ | what do i need for a boot cd | 23:46 |
| mhall119 | Mias, are you re-sizing partitions? | 23:46 |
| Mias | mhall119: no, re-partitioning | 23:46 |
| noksious | jgoguen, no :| | 23:46 |
| harlekin | B1g0lCAQ, a empty Cd an the ISO file | 23:46 |
| zsquareplusc | B1g0lCAQ: burn the iso on an empty CD-R or R/W disc | 23:46 |
| vonderer | zsquareplusc: no, that was my soundcard and ALSA problems =/ I've tried everything before reinstalling pulse | 23:46 |
