| zsquareplusc | electro: does it have a partition table at all? usually usb memory is without. but you need to set up a partition table if you're going to use it as hard drive replacement. | 00:00 |

| admin_masu3701 | J2daoh: just sudo apt-get install chm reader? | 00:06 |
| unus | hello all, i recently installed ubuntu 9.10. with this i found that my laptop speakers are working, but the headphone jack is not. i have tried every single thing i could find online about this, and it seems that my chipset is a problem (sound chipset that is), the chipset is realtek ALC861-VD.... i have tried many things that worked for others and did not work for me... any help please (i also could not get OSS to install to try over ALSA) | 00:06 |
| moDumass | jrib, sorry let me backtrack, im getting about 30 lines of text on screen so i may have missed it | 00:06 |
| zsquareplusc | martin_: i dont know about mac, but on standard pc you can make a bootable USB disk with the contents of the CD on it. the new ubuntu has even a tool to do taht for you if you can boot the livecd somewhere | 00:06 |
| amews_aj | I downloaded the nvidia-glx-96, but it does not seem to activate. Do I have to do something manually? | 00:06 |
| zmitya | i can see that ther is an "effect" what is able to record video of my desktop | 00:06 |
| J2daosh | admin_masu3701: apt-cache search chm|grep reader | 00:06 |
| zmitya | but it does not work somehow | 00:06 |
| jrib | z987k: did you try a mirror? | 00:06 |
| zmitya | si it possible to run it by hand ? | 00:06 |
| martin_ | zsquareplusc: thx but cant usb boot sadly.. | 00:06 |
| J2daosh | that will give you chm reader packages, then just apt-get install whatever reader you choose | 00:06 |
| jrib | z987k: wait. That url does not exist for me either... | 00:07 |
| robacarp | what is the package name for firefox 3 on gutsy? | 00:07 |
| martin_ | I have the Ubuntu .iso and an empty partition staring at me :) | 00:07 |
| electro | I used the built in Create a USB Startup Disk in 8.10 but it says Invalid or damaged partition when I try to boot to it | 00:07 |
| z987k | jrib, yeah same deal | 00:07 |
| J2daosh | martin: you cant boot anything usb, or you just cant boot a flash drive? | 00:07 |
| admin_masu3701 | J2daosh: ok | 00:07 |
| moDumass | jrib, sorry i cant find that, but i can only scrol back as far as 7 mins ago | 00:07 |
| jrib | z987k: what is lpia? Is that your arch? | 00:07 |
| gescape | hi | 00:08 |
| martin_ | J2daosh: can't boot from any usb, my mac is too new | 00:08 |
| admin_masu3701 | J2daosh: no preference? | 00:08 |
| J2daosh | robacarp: apt-cache search firefox|grep 3 | 00:08 |
| J2daosh | martin, then your kinda SOL | 00:08 |
| martin_ | damn | 00:08 |
| J2daosh | not really, a chm reader is a chm reader | 00:08 |
| martin_ | can't I image the partition in some way? | 00:08 |
| z987k | jrib, no clue it looks foreign to me to... this is on a dell netbook so I think they might have something to do with that, but as far as I know it should be i386 | 00:08 |
| gescape | would you upgrade 8.04 to 8.10? | 00:08 |
| robacarp | J2daosh: I thought about that...but its described as a "development version" | 00:08 |
| admin_masu3701 | ok | 00:08 |

| bobbiem | Can anyone help me with installing Java for 8.04 LTS. i ran sudo update-alternatives --config java | 00:09 |
| shadewin1 | I click the activate button but NOTHING happens | 00:09 |
| J2daosh | linkmaster03: you have to remove then from the xorg.conf | 00:09 |
| bobbiem | now i have some choices to pick from! | 00:09 |
| linkmaster03 | J2daosh: I looked in there and I couldn't find the extra monitor | 00:09 |
| jrib | moDumass: or some other edid option. I don't recall exactly | 00:09 |
| z987k | jrib, seems it should be /binary-i386/...... | 00:09 |
| jrib | z987k: right, so something's wrong there. What does 'uname -a' return? | 00:10 |
| zmitya | guys where can I find that the desktop video recordes saves ? | 00:10 |
| zmitya | *recorder | 00:10 |

| csilk | bobbiem, sudo apt-get install sun-java6 | 00:10 |
| J2daosh | wow, its like working a free call center in here right now lol | 00:10 |
| jrib | z987k: ah, http://lwn.net/Articles/247003/ Now let's see if we can figure out where the repos are | 00:11 |
| ardchoille | sun-java6-jre in Intrepid | 00:11 |
| zmitya | guys where can I find that the desktop video recorder saves ? | 00:11 |
| bobbiem | csilk, it says it couldnt find package | 00:11 |
| z987k | jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/69054 | 00:11 |
| jrib | z987k: this one seems to work: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/intrepid/main/binary-lpia/ | 00:11 |
| J2daosh | zmitya: try doing a man on the application | 00:11 |
| ardchoille | bobbiem: for intrepid it's sun-java6-jre | 00:11 |
| csilk | bobbiem, i meant sun-java6-jre | 00:12 |
| zmitya | J2daosh: great, but which app ? | 00:12 |
| csilk | bobbiem, If you ever need a package name try aptitude search NAME | 00:12 |
| csilk | where name is part of the package you want | 00:12 |
| z987k | jrib, it does.... what is lpia though? | 00:12 |
| jrib | z987k: check out the first link to lwn I gave | 00:12 |
| icqnumber | Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Windows Media RTP depayloader|decoder-application/x-rtp, what package do i miss? | 00:12 |
| MrDowntempo | Is it possible to run an nvidia video card and an ati card at the same time under intrepid ibex? | 00:12 |
| z987k | jrib, the ports.ubunutu link? | 00:13 |
| ardchoille | MrDowntempo: you have two monitors on the same machine? | 00:13 |
| harushimo | I have a quick question | 00:13 |
| jrib | z987k: ah, http://lwn.net/Articles/247003/ Now let's see if we can figure out where the repos are | 00:13 |
| harushimo | is there a way to install hardy heron through the command line | 00:13 |
| J2daosh | whichever one is doing the movie | 00:13 |
| z987k | ah! | 00:13 |
| csilk | bobbiem, did that work? | 00:14 |
| harushimo | because I can't get into the cd due an fd0 error and the network install doesn't work | 00:14 |
| ardchoille | harushimo: the alternate cd uses a text-based installer | 00:14 |
| linkmaster03 | harushimo: what version of ubuntu do you currently have? | 00:14 |
| mhall119 | harushimo: you mean a non-graphical install, or something you can run remotely? | 00:14 |
| bobbiem | csilk, ok i have a list | 00:14 |
| bobbiem | csilk, but i dont know what to do now | 00:14 |
| harushimo | I'm running Gutsy Gibbon | 00:14 |
| MrDowntempo | ardchoille: Well 3 | 00:14 |
| harushimo | yes non-graphical | 00:14 |
| csilk | bobbiem, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre will install java for you | 00:14 |
| === shadewin1 is now known as shadewind | ||
| csilk | as previously said | 00:15 |
| mhall119 | harushimo: the alternative CD has that | 00:15 |
| ardchoille | MrDowntempo: ok | 00:15 |
| harushimo | the alternative cd didn't work | 00:15 |
| harushimo | I have it | 00:15 |
| z987k | jrib, would it just be in the ports.ubuntu.com/ ? | 00:15 |
| harushimo | I'll be straight honest. I haven't be able to install Ubuntu since Gutsy Gibbon | 00:15 |
| jrib | z987k: should be | 00:15 |
| mhall119 | harushimo, I think there is a boot option to skip checking for fd0, but I don't remember it off the top of my head, try googling for it | 00:15 |
| linkmaster03 | harushimo: the latest version is 8.10 intrepid ibex, but use: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:16 |
| harushimo | ok | 00:16 |
| csilk | bobbiem, work? | 00:16 |
| bobbiem | csilk, Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 00:16 |
| bobbiem | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 00:16 |
| bobbiem | is only available from another source | 00:16 |
| bobbiem | E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate | 00:16 |
| FloodBot1 | bobbiem: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:16 |
| harushimo | has there been any problems at all with Intrepid Ibex | 00:16 |
| ardchoille | linkmaster03: that won't upgrade him to intrepid | 00:16 |
| ardchoille | harushimo: you currently have Gutsy? | 00:16 |
| linkmaster03 | ardchoille: i know, he wants hardy | 00:17 |
| MrDowntempo | ardchoille: I have one plugged into a radeon, and I have two more plugged into a geforce. I currently am running the binary fglrx driver for the radeon. Installing the nvidia driver forces the radeon driver to be removed. | 00:17 |
| csilk | bobbiem, sudo apt-get update | 00:17 |
| ardchoille | linkmaster03: that won't upgrade him to hardy either | 00:17 |
| csilk | then rey again | 00:17 |
| csilk | *try | 00:17 |
| linkmaster03 | ardchoille: why not? | 00:17 |
| harushimo | I currently have gutsy | 00:17 |
| mhall119 | bobbiem: do you have the multiverse repository enabled? | 00:17 |
| harushimo | I can install that with no problem | 00:17 |
| MExTux | Does anybody know what is this??? ---> useradd newuser -s /bin/false | 00:17 |
| harushimo | I can get into the live cd for Hardy Heron or Interpid Ibex | 00:17 |
| harushimo | I mean can't | 00:17 |
| ardchoille | linkmaster03: because dist-upgrade updates software presently on the system from the softweare sources, it doesn't upgrade to the next release | 00:17 |
| csilk | harushimo, what happends? | 00:18 |
| mhall119 | MExTux: it created a new user account | 00:18 |
| csilk | *happens | 00:18 |
| bobbiem | mhall119, i am not sure | 00:18 |
| ardchoille | !upgrade | harushimo | 00:18 |
| ubottu | harushimo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 00:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | harushimo: i've ad no probs at all w/ Ibex..... but if you have gutsy, you'll have to go Gutsy---Hardy---Ibex | 00:18 |
| zsquareplusc | MExTux: it adds a new user whose shell is set to false, so he cant log in interactively | 00:18 |
| linkmaster03 | ardchoille: i used it to update my release of debian from etch -> lenny.. | 00:18 |
| Cpudan80 | Can you upgrade directly from Gutsy Gibbon to Ibex ? | 00:18 |
| ardchoille | linkmaster03: this isn't debian ;) | 00:18 |
| Cpudan80 | oh apparently not | 00:18 |
| linkmaster03 | ardchoille: :( | 00:18 |
| harushimo | with Hardy Heron, fd0 error. With Intrepid Ibex, it goes to busy box and doesn't load | 00:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | !alternate | harushimo | 00:18 |
| ubottu | harushimo: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 00:18 |
| icqnumber | Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Windows Media RTP depayloader|decoder-application/x-rtp, what package do i miss? | 00:19 |
| harushimo | the Alternate cd doesn't work | 00:19 |
| harushimo | I tried it | 00:19 |
| harushimo | I get the same error | 00:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | harushimo: then i suspect its a user malfunction./ | 00:19 |
| MExTux | What does mean the user can't log in interactively?? | 00:19 |
| linkmaster03 | icqnumber: looks like a proprietary codec | 00:19 |
| aboSamoor | Hi, I want a control version system to store my code and its revisions, I don'y know If I can use launchpad for such thing ???? | 00:19 |
| ardchoille | harushimo: or hardware problem | 00:19 |
| linkmaster03 | icqnumber: do you have the medibuntu repo enabled? | 00:19 |
| bobbiem | csilk, ok a list of things came up and it said Reading package lists... Done | 00:19 |
| scunizi | harushimo: do you have a newer motherboard? | 00:19 |
| harushimo | yeah | 00:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | ardchoille: unlikely a hardware problem if he's installing gutsy ok. | 00:19 |
| icqnumber | linkmaster03, yep | 00:19 |
| scunizi | harushimo: which one. | 00:19 |
| harushimo | I have Abit Fatality board | 00:19 |
| linkmaster03 | icqnumber: sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 00:19 |
| mhall119 | bobbiem: Go to System->Administration->Software Sources and enable Multiverse | 00:19 |
| mhall119 | then run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" | 00:20 |
| jrib | !ppa > aboSamoor | 00:20 |
| ubottu | aboSamoor, please see my private message | 00:20 |
| harushimo | I bought it last year | 00:20 |
| tecnicodpc | Hello 2 all | 00:20 |
| harushimo | the first install on the board was Gutsy Gibbon which had no problem using | 00:20 |
| icqnumber | linkmaster03, i have it installed but ...no luck | 00:20 |
| scunizi | harushimo: that might be the issue.. I have a geforce 8200 that won't work with Hardy but boots to Ibex.. it's a kernel thing | 00:20 |
| jrib | aboSamoor: but if you want something local, just use bzr, git, darcs, or mercurial | 00:20 |
| zsquareplusc | MExTux: he can not open a console, when logging in. he will be thrown out. but a service may be run under that name for example. such dummy users are used for security reasons e.g. when a web server is run | 00:20 |
| foo | How can I tell what ubuntu version I'm on? | 00:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | scunizi: he's having problems w/ hardy and ibex.... so i'm doubting thats the issue. | 00:21 |
| DCPom | !version | 00:21 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 00:21 |
| harushimo | is there a way I can do a kernel upgrade then | 00:21 |
| rhavenw | hi, | 00:21 |
| JonRob | does anyone here know if grub will boot a hibernated windows vista partition normally? | 00:21 |
| rhavenw | im trying to make a partition on an external usb partition bootable using unetbootin, | 00:21 |
| csilk | bobbiem, go to application>add/remove programs at the top there is a drop down list, set it to "all available applications" then try and install java | 00:21 |
| === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| | ||
| rhavenw | but i cant seem to get it to boot | 00:21 |
| scunizi | harushimo: you might wait until 8.10.1 is out and try again.. also read the forums at www.ubuntuforums.org | 00:21 |
| linkmaster03 | icqnumber: what is the file you are trying to play and through what video player? | 00:21 |
| harushimo | All I know both versions of 8 doesn't work on my computer which I don't get | 00:21 |
| jenga_boy | DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 | 00:21 |
| ardchoille | IndyGunFreak: I had the same problem with the same releases, switching mobo's solved it | 00:21 |
| mhall119 | csilk: he needs to enable multiverse first | 00:21 |
| aboSamoor | jrib, I was using google code, it is not projects. Some homeworks and shared work. but it seems that my account in google code is having a bug. Anyway, I am asking if it is legal to use launchpad for such thing ? | 00:21 |
| scunizi | IndyGunFreak: got it | 00:22 |
| csilk | mhall119, that will do it for him mhall119 | 00:22 |
| icqnumber | linkmaster03, http://cluster.quantumart.ru/broadcast/default.aspx?media=rusradio stream totem(gstreamer) | 00:22 |
| bobbiem | mhall119, i have the software source up, where is the multiverse? | 00:22 |
| harushimo | what do I? just stick Gutsy until the support is stop | 00:22 |
| === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler | ||
| tecnicodpc | Can i install ubuntu on window vista ... ???? | 00:22 |
| icqnumber | linkmaster03, looks like it works for other people, but not for me | 00:22 |
| MExTux | I want to create an user to just log in to upload files to my web server using VSFTPD. Do I need to use -s /bin/false when I create it ?? | 00:22 |
| harushimo | How long is Gutsy Gibbon supported til anyways? | 00:22 |
| jrib | aboSamoor: ah sorry, you just want to use launchpad's bzr branches, not ppa. Sure just start a project and use it. I don't see why not | 00:22 |
| MrDowntempo | Anyone know if its possible to run an nvidia and ati card togethor under ibex? | 00:23 |
| mhall119 | bobbiem: fourth check box from the top | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | harushimo: 18mo after oct. 07 | 00:23 |
| rambo3 | !find silverlight | 00:23 |
| jrib | rambo3: google moonlight | 00:23 |
| harushimo | wow | 00:23 |
| zsquareplusc | MExTux: yes. for such a purpose this is a good idea. otherwise the same account could be used for remote login on your machine, if you are running sshd for example | 00:23 |
| rambo3 | o_0 | 00:23 |
| aboSamoor | jrib, for sure my code is open source. But i used collabnet previously and their policy was not to use the service for personal usage | 00:24 |
| harushimo | It would be nice to upgrade but it looks like that isn't happening | 00:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | harushimo: i suspect there's some underlying issue thats causing your problem.. i don't think ist the OS or your hardware. | 00:24 |

| aboSamoor | jrib, thanks for help :) | 00:25 |
| linkmaster03 | icqnumber: well it's x-ms-asf, so it should play as long as totem and gstreamer and w32codecs are installed.. hm | 00:25 |
| harushimo | I have no clue | 00:25 |

| salmenara | csilk: For wathcing videos in fullscreen | 00:28 |
| icqnumber | linkmaster03, it works in vlc for me, but not in totem | 00:28 |
| csilk | salmenara, that works for me | 00:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | balle_: system/admin/hardware drivers | 00:28 |
| jrib | kri: I gave you the relevant wget switches to use already | 00:29 |
| balle_ | IndyGunFreak: non-existant only hardware testing is available | 00:29 |
| bobbiem | csilk, what icetea-java 7 ? | 00:29 |

| TheZealot | Anyone know how to give input to a python script in the same line as you execute the script? For instance if I want to roll a 6 sided die and use the rolldice.py script to generate the number I want to be able to type #python rolldice.py 6 | 00:30 |
| TheZealot | any idea? | 00:30 |
| linkmaster03 | icqnumber: yes it does work with the vlc plugin for me | 00:30 |
| csilk | bobbiem, I already told you, three time, which java package to install..... sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 00:30 |

| linkmaster03 | TheZealot: i can help | 00:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | balle_: well, clearly you don't,b ecause its not in restricted driver, odds are, there is no restricted driver for your graphics card.. what device do you have? | 00:31 |
| linkmaster03 | TheZealot: 'import sys' in your python scripts, and call sys.argv(1) from within the script | 00:31 |
| MrDowntempo | ardchoille: I'm tying to run 3 monitors. I don't have a 2nd ati card but I did have an older nvidia card. I installed it and plugged it in but synaptic won't allow me to install the nvidia drivers without first uninstalling the radeon drivers. Did you know a way around that??? | 00:31 |
| Cpudan80 | TheZealot: import sys -- for arg in sys.argv: print arg | 00:31 |
| DarK_L0rD | compiz not working after upgrade, any help is appreciated... | 00:31 |
| Cpudan80 | TheZealot: argv[0] is the name used to start up the program | 00:31 |

| kinections | has anybody here have any experience with installing on an EFI system *without* refit ? | 00:32 |
| lyk3n | bye | 00:32 |
| balle_ | IndyGunfreak: nvidia 8600 go, and yea maybe you're right but there was restricted drivers for it in hardy heron, that is why i found it a tad odd | 00:32 |

| Zuwer | Hi, my friend said that you can install Ubuntu with Wubi, just wondering where i get Wubi 8.04 | 00:32 |
| Cpudan80 | TheZealot: http://diveintopython.org/scripts_and_streams/command_line_arguments.html | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | kinections: Intel Mac ? | 00:32 |
| WebcamWonder | !wubi | Zuwer | 00:32 |

| TheZealot | very helpful guys I really appreciate it! | 00:32 |
| kinections | Jordan_U: yes, but not any normal intel mac, so i can't use refit | 00:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | balle_: , well i'm guessing that device shoudl have them in Intrepid.. | 00:32 |
| Cpudan80 | TheZealot: linkmaster was wrong | 00:32 |
| jrib | TheZealot: please ask in #python in the future | 00:33 |
| Cpudan80 | TheZealot: argv is a list - you can't do argv(0) | 00:33 |
| Cpudan80 | you can do [0] | 00:33 |
| Jordan_U | kinections: Just hold down option at boot and choose "Windows" ( Apple refuses to acknowledge any OS but Windows and OSX ) | 00:33 |
| DarK_L0rD | compiz not working after 8.10 upgrade...any help plz? | 00:33 |
| maxxist | 64bit or 32bit? other than the lack of 64bit flash, what other downsides are there to running 64bit? I am just your everyday desktop user. is 64bit really that much faster? | 00:33 |
| Cpudan80 | maxxist: not faster | 00:34 |
| jrib | maxxist: you can use flash on 64bit | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | DarK_L0rD: What GPU ? | 00:34 |
| Cpudan80 | maxxist: "More pulling power" | 00:34 |
| balle_ | IndyGunFreak: yea me too, but even when i try to enable desktop effects it just says it is unable to enable them... | 00:34 |
| kinections | Jordan_U: not that simple, booting linux on EFI requires an either grub2 or elilo, and getting that is the difficult part | 00:34 |
| csilk | maxxist, generally you won't see any advantage to running 64 bit with todays software | 00:34 |
| Cpudan80 | jrib: ANd it sucks because Adobe is incompetent | 00:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | balle_: well, clearly the nvidia driver isn't installed. | 00:34 |
| DarK_L0rD | @jordan, u mean ubuntu 8.10 | 00:34 |
| maxxist | is there a 64bit nvidia driver? | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | kinections: If it's an intel mac then it has BIOS emulation | 00:34 |
| jrib | Cpudan80: wfm though I won't disagree with you on the second part of what you said | 00:34 |
| jrib | maxxist: yes | 00:34 |
| balle_ | IndyGunFreak: i agree | 00:35 |
| bobbiem | csilk, ok it went thru everything it stopped at setting up sun-java6-bin. do i have to do anything else? | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | kinections: And elilo wasn't hard to install last time I tried | 00:35 |
| kinections | Jordan_U: not true, only if it is a mac book pro, mac pro, or whatever, what i'm doing this on is an XServe, it has no bios stuff whatsover | 00:35 |
| DarK_L0rD | @jordan or did i miss u? | 00:35 |
| csilk | bobbiem, you know have java installed on your system | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | kinections: Ahh | 00:35 |
| Cpudan80 | jrib: lol | 00:35 |
| csilk | **now | 00:35 |
| Cpudan80 | jrib: Is it any better in 8.10 ? | 00:35 |
| jrib | maxxist: there's no sun java plugin though | 00:35 |
| rhavenw | can anyone help me with this: im trying to make a partition on an external usb partition bootable using unetbootin, I downloaded 8.10 iso. but i cant seem to get it to boot | 00:35 |
| maxxist | jrip is it the open flash for 64bit or is it the real commercial one? do I need to run a 32 bit library someone | 00:35 |
| bobbiem | csilk, wow, thank you soooo much! | 00:35 |
| jrib | Cpudan80: yeah, nsplug restarts itself on crash so you don't have to restart the browser :) | 00:35 |
| Cpudan80 | maxxist: It seems that audio/video codecs also need a little extra help on 64 bit | 00:36 |
| maxxist | jrib also how is wine under 64bit?? | 00:36 |
| kinections | Jordan_U: well, I can have it detect a EFI Boot partition that i have blessed, however, it still boots into mac os x, despite the elilo.conf not having that entry, i think it's falling back to the mac partition | 00:36 |
| Cpudan80 | jrib: well that's good | 00:36 |
| jrib | maxxist: works fine | 00:36 |
| Cpudan80 | maxxist: I used 64 bit for a while, I found it to be too much of a hassle | 00:36 |
| WebcamWonder | jrib, nsplug never restarts itself. I have to restart my browser all the time | 00:36 |
| jrib | WebcamWonder: are you in intrepid? | 00:36 |
| Cpudan80 | If this is your first venture into linux, I'd stick with 32 bit | 00:36 |
| WebcamWonder | jrib, Nope. Hardy. | 00:36 |
| jrib | WebcamWonder: well there you go :) | 00:36 |
| DarK_L0rD | any help with compiz-fusion which is not working after an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 ubuntu? | 00:36 |
| kinections | Jordan_U: but i'm new at this, ad i'm not good with macs at all, so i don't know how to get it to work, i'm experimenting on a mac tower right now, but i will be moving it over to the xserve once it is working | 00:36 |
| jrib | maxxist: how much ram do you have? | 00:37 |
| maxxist | I think i want to try it out. | 00:37 |
| maxxist | jrib 2GB on a core2duo 2.66 | 00:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | maxxist: i tend to agree with Cpudan80 .. thats good advice.. | 00:37 |
| WebcamWonder | jrib, But the flash 10 is *supposed* to be more stable, so the idea of restart is pretty much pointless | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | kinections: What happens when you try to install rEFIt? ( I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work ) | 00:37 |
| jrib | WebcamWonder: hmm? | 00:37 |
| Cpudan80 | maxxist: And what are you going to do on the linux box? | 00:37 |
| jrib | maxxist: not really worth it imo to go 64bit. But if you want to play, I guess that's ok | 00:37 |
| maxxist | cpudan88 mainly desktop stuff. | 00:38 |
| Cpudan80 | maxxist: you will see no recognizable difference then | 00:38 |
| neil_d | I have an error message saying "Error activating XKB configuration....." what can I do about it ? | 00:38 |
| Cpudan80 | If you were doing something like crunching a lot of data ... then ... | 00:38 |
| bobbiem | csilk, i still cant play my games. its still wants me to install java | 00:38 |
| kinections | Jordan_U: well, refit doesn't do anything, since (to the best of my knowledge) what it does is that it creates a fake MBR and syncs it to the EFI stuff so you can use a legacy boot loader | 00:38 |
| maxxist | most of the apps i run have 64bit binaries avail. like deluge for example. | 00:38 |
| balle_ | does anybody know how to access the restricted drivers in intrepid? | 00:38 |
| jrib | balle_: system -> admin -> hardware | 00:39 |
| bobbiem | csilk, do i have to restart or anything? | 00:39 |
| MrDowntempo | Is there a way to prevent a package from being uninstalled? | 00:39 |
| Jordan_U | kinections: No, that is only one ( minor ) feature of rEFIt | 00:39 |
| DarK_L0rD | @ Jordan my GPU is ATI Radeon X1200 series | 00:39 |
| jrib | MrDowntempo: what is trying to uninstall it and why? | 00:39 |
| balle_ | jrib: there is only hardware testing..... | 00:39 |
| dn4 | what computer language is 00000719 000006E8 0000E441 0000B631 0003363E 0003363E 00008865 00008876 000609D1 00060D97 | 00:39 |
| kinections | Jordan_U: well, i'm unsure of what else it does, maybe i'll look into it more, but it did not work on the xserve | 00:39 |
| jrib | balle_: there should be "hardware drivers" if you are on intrepid | 00:39 |
| Cpudan80 | dn4: hex? | 00:39 |

| kinections | Jordan_U: i was not the one that experimented with that, however, the person that did do it, has used refit on a whole labs worth of mac pros, so i assume he knew what he was doing | 00:40 |
| csilk | bobbiem, no | 00:40 |
| jrib | balle_: try jockey-gtk in a shell. You're using GNOME? | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | balle_: Do you have the "ubuntu-desktop" package installed? | 00:40 |
| WebcamWonder | Any ideas when will nspluginwrapper 1.1.0 be backported to hardy? | 00:40 |
| csilk | bobbiem, you need the browser java plugin if you wanna play games | 00:40 |
| bobbiem | csilk, :( i dont know what else to do | 00:40 |
| balle_ | jrib: yes GNOME and will try jockey | 00:40 |
| MrDowntempo | jrib: Nvidia driver is trying to uninstall fglrx | 00:40 |
| csilk | bobbiem, you need the browser java plugin if you wanna play games | 00:40 |
| Cpudan80 | dn4: those look like memory addresses from a stack trace, you cant convert them to ascii | 00:40 |
| bobbiem | csilk, so how do i do that? | 00:40 |
| jrib | MrDowntempo: right, because I'm guessing the packages conflict. That's usually for a good reason | 00:41 |
| remu | Hey guys, I need some help setting up my bluetooth audio headset. | 00:41 |
| balle_ | Jordan_U i am running the GNOME if that's what your asking | 00:41 |
| MrDowntempo | jrib: The peeps in #xorg are saying they shouldn't conflict | 00:41 |
| DarK_L0rD | Can somebody help with COMPIZ which is not working after a 8.10 upgrade? | 00:41 |
| jrib | MrDowntempo: well you can download the package source and edit the metadata then | 00:41 |
| Jordan_U | balle_: It's not | 00:41 |
| jrib | !source > MrDowntempo | 00:41 |
| ubottu | MrDowntempo, please see my private message | 00:41 |
| Cpudan80 | MrDowntempo: Ubuntu doesnt use Xorg | 00:42 |
| remu | My system recognizes the bluetooth headset, and it is in my list of devices, however, I am unable to connect or to get it to work properly. | 00:42 |
| jrib | Cpudan80: eh? | 00:42 |
| Cpudan80 | err Intrepid doesn't anyway | 00:42 |
| csilk | bobbiem, you need to stop asking t be spoon fed sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin then restart the browser | 00:42 |
| Cpudan80 | jrib: DOesnt it use something else now? | 00:42 |
| jrib | Cpudan80: yes it does... | 00:42 |
| Cpudan80 | Maybe it just got rid of the conf file? | 00:42 |
| maxxist | cpudan80 i am sure it uses xorg | 00:42 |
| Cpudan80 | must just be the conf file then | 00:42 |
| Cpudan80 | yeah... I knew that was wrong when I said it lol | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | balle_: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that depends on all of the packages included in a default Ubuntu install, among them being jockey-gtk | 00:42 |
| maxxist | cpudan80 yeah xorg.conf is auto confiugered now. | 00:43 |
| jrib | Cpudan80: right, the input devices are done through fdi files now | 00:43 |
| MrDowntempo | jrib: Both packages are binary only of course. | 00:43 |
| Cpudan80 | yeah thats what I was thinking | 00:43 |
| jrib | Cpudan80: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/ | 00:43 |
| Cpudan80 | those fdi files... I hate them | 00:43 |
| kooparg | Error: only support DVD+RW formating, ignoring. any help?? i cant format a dvd rw | 00:43 |
| Cpudan80 | I liked the old way better | 00:43 |
| balle_ | Jordan_U: ahh okay then: i am installing the jockey thing now and trying to get it to find the drivers i'm looking for, and thx for the help | 00:43 |
| maxxist | cpudan80 i agree i liked being able to do my own xorg.conf | 00:43 |
| jrib | MrDowntempo: I meant to download the source *of the package* (as described in the link ubottu gave you) | 00:43 |
| Cpudan80 | well you can write custom FDIs | 00:43 |

| ubottu | jhouse_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:47 |

| brandan_ | System > Preferences > Power Management only has options to put the PC to sleep or turn screen off, nothing about the hard disk.... | 01:11 |
| Kilmore | let me try | 01:12 |
| neil_d | HollywoodJumper: how are trying to install tovid ? | 01:12 |
| amdpox | brandan_, open a terminal and type "hdparm -I | grep Adv" | 01:12 |
| HollywoodJumper | ardchoille tovid says i am missing core tovid dependencies | 01:12 |
| Gnea | christo_m: i don't even have that command | 01:12 |
| christo_m | Gnea: The default mixer device is Analog Devices AD1981B(OSS Mixer) | 01:12 |
| HollywoodJumper | neil_d i installe managerd using the synaptiv package | 01:12 |
| christo_m | Gnea: its right beside the selection lol | 01:13 |
| erUSUL | christo_m: change that to the alsa device | 01:13 |
| techII | because my wireless card (atheros 5007, could be 5007) isn't supported by a released version of madwifi, i've been compiling it from svn | 01:13 |
| Gnea | christo_m: lol, do you have anything in /proc/asound/cards? | 01:13 |
| christo_m | erUSUL: i cant | 01:13 |
| Kilmore | neil_d : no I dont get anything when pressing that | 01:13 |
| christo_m | Gnea: yes | 01:13 |
| HollywoodJumper | neil_d synaptic package manager | 01:13 |
| Gnea | christo_m: then you're using alsa, not oss | 01:13 |
| ville__ | Hello guys ! I have installed samba on two computers and I would like to share som folders ! but when I enter the folder that I have shared I cant see the content | 01:13 |
| christo_m | Gnea: okay thats not whta my defualt mixer says lol | 01:13 |
| techII | upgraded to intrepid, recompiled, it worked; some kernel update comes along, it stopped working, it compiles, but the device doesn't show up | 01:13 |
| Gnea | christo_m: that's because it also provides /dev/mixer, which is also OSS-emulated :P | 01:14 |
| neil_d | HollywoodJumper: don't know, it should automattically find them all. | 01:14 |
| Gnea | christo_m: it's being fooled by emulation. get it now? :) | 01:14 |
| christo_m | Gnea: i guess, but i bet if i log out and log in sound still wont work in firefox on youtube | 01:14 |
| Gnea | christo_m: you'd need to restart firefox, at the least, to get it to work right | 01:14 |
| ardchoille | HollywoodJumper: hmm.. sounds like a packaging error | 01:15 |

| techII | anyone have their (compiled from svn) madwifi drivers stop working (without updating the actual drivers, and after updating them) | 01:15 |

| Gnea | jpg_ny: what's the model #? | 01:15 |
| neil_d | Kilmore: ok! You can get more info on where its stopping, by resetting and editing the grub command before it boots and remove the quite option. | 01:15 |

| brandan_ | ? | 01:20 |
| jpg_ny | rogan: you don't want to sudo ? | 01:20 |
| neil_d | Kilmore: I am going by memory here, you stop it proceeding by pressing 'esc' (I think) so you can select the different options. down at the bottom of the screen it gives a few keyboard commands to use. one of those is 'e' for edit, then whole complicated line appears, at the end of this the option 'quiet'. remove this and hit enter to get grub to boot. | 01:20 |

| jpg_ny | gigel2007: you don't really need to get one | 01:25 |
| bouma | since upgrading to ibex when i open the folder "desktop" it runs a mediaplayer .. i uninstalled vlc and now it runs audacious | 01:25 |
| gigel2007 | jpg_ny: really? what if someone is using cain and abel ? | 01:25 |
| TheYeti | Any one with sound driver info for 8.10 on a tx2500 let me know | 01:25 |
| bouma | i need to browse my desktop | 01:25 |
| AnonymousOne | Whenever I load Ubuntu, I get the following error: http://pastie.org/309970 | 01:25 |
| tovella | rogan: use 'sudo' before the command. | 01:26 |
| bouma | when i click the button | 01:26 |
| christo_m | gigel2007: firestarter | 01:26 |
| BillSamJohnson | which makes sence, because i order 5 IPs, one is the server, one for KVM-IP, and that leaves the three isee | 01:26 |
| neil_d | Kilmore: does the computer boot fine from the CD ? | 01:26 |
| bouma | where is this configured and how do i change it | 01:26 |
| Gnea | christo_m: i have no idea at this point - probably just blacklist the bluetooth networking module | 01:26 |
| Gnea | jpg_ny: hrmmmm | 01:26 |
| Kilmore | Neil_d: screen booted to the tan screen with coursor again, then passed that went black with a coursor that looks like a ball with little dots on it and stopped there | 01:26 |
| christo_m | Gnea: lol, i mean for the sound | 01:26 |
| gigel2007 | christo_m: what about ufw | 01:26 |
| tovella | rogan: eg. sudo apt-get install hddtemp lmsensors | 01:26 |
| jpg_ny | gigel2007: you can use the iptable it comes with your linux | 01:26 |
| christo_m | gigel2007: lol, if you already know of one, why are you asking me | 01:26 |
| rogan | ty | 01:26 |
| christo_m | gigel2007: i think at least one of them is a frontend for iptables anyway | 01:26 |
| christo_m | gigel2007: maybe both | 01:26 |
| Kolie | I used module-assistant to try and fix my sound by updating alsa. On reboot /sbin/modprobe is abnormally terminating and the boot process appears to stop. How can I disable whatever I did, or take alsa out of the modprobe list? | 01:26 |
| BillSamJohnson | so first, i would like to know what does the never mean? | 01:27 |
| Kilmore | neil_d: it did before i did install | 01:27 |
| gigel2007 | christo_m: because I wanted to know others, so do you know if firestarter is better than ufw ? | 01:27 |
| christo_m | gigel2007: what are you trying to do, linux is secure enough | 01:27 |
| jpg_ny | gigel2007: ufw is the uncomplicated firewall | 01:27 |
| gigel2007 | christo_m: to get them do you just type sudo apt-get install firestarter/ufw ? | 01:27 |
| ironfoot_495 | csilk: are you there? | 01:27 |
| neil_d | Kilmore: good. does the <ctrl><att><F1> show anything ? | 01:27 |
| christo_m | gigel2007: close unnecessary services, you're good to go, and yes | 01:27 |
| christo_m | Gnea: any idea for the sound, by my dmesg btw? | 01:27 |
| Gnea | christo_m: try launching firefox from the commandline and see what error it gives, if any, when you go to youtube | 01:27 |
| AnonymousOne | Hello, could someone look at http://pastie.org/309970 | 01:27 |

| dynstatic | Ive got my system to auto login, everytime it sees my home wifi, it asks for the keychain password. How can I set it not to ask? | 01:28 |
| MTecknology | This is getting annoying... I still can't figure out how to set colors in the .bashrc file - anybody know how? | 01:28 |

| Gnea | christo_m: firefox --help | 01:28 |
| gigel2007 | christo_m: huh ? | 01:28 |
| jpg_ny | gigel2007: or sniffing the network you mean then your host is not the problem | 01:29 |
| Gnea | christo_m: dude.... uncalled for | 01:29 |
| christo_m | gigel2007: crack hashed passes for UNIX with cain and abel? | 01:29 |
| gigel2007 | christo_m: it's not possible ? | 01:29 |
| BillSamJohnson | does anyone know what that means? | 01:29 |
| christo_m | gigel2007: they can use jack the ripper, it doesnt matter, if someone wnated to crack your system, a firewall probably wouldn't stop them | 01:29 |
| csilk | ironfoot_495, yeah | 01:29 |
| DarkKnight | hey...my swiftweasel hangs for somtim...and then it comes back to normal state....any idea??? | 01:29 |

| HollywoodJumper | karsten ok | 01:59 |
| No-Neck | dynstatic, then make sure to save the settings and then in the terminal 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get install skype' - however this may not be enough skype may need it's own repository to be added | 01:59 |

| ronnie | jpg_ny,bamball i had tried that but i need ram information and it didnt have such information | 02:11 |
| punto | tvon: so it's like debian unstable or testing? | 02:11 |
| jpg_ny | Gnea: good idea, I will try this way | 02:11 |
| tvon | esac: yeah, but deb exp isn't really aiming to be stable, ubuntu is | 02:11 |
| jpg_ny | ronnie: top ? | 02:11 |
| icqnumber | thiebaude, and which one? | 02:11 |

| jpg_ny | ronnie: ahh no sorry te model of your ram use dmesg | 02:12 |
| ronnie | jpg_ny: ok thanks | 02:12 |
| tvon | punto: you can try both I guess... I'd vote for ubuntu though, experimental is more likely to break due to package updates | 02:12 |

| Xpistos | I have three systems A windows box (my wife) my laptop (hardy desktop) and my file server (hardy server) earlier I could not get the two desktops to see the server. I added another system to the mix (a faux server) then all of a sudden everything came on line. I got rid of the faux server and I couild see my shares on the files server. Reboot my ubuntu laptop and now it can't see the windows box and the server????? What? | 02:28 |
| Xpistos | I am hoping someone can help me cause I wasted like 5 hours on this | 02:29 |
| jeeves_Moss | how do I recursivly move everything on one dir to another? | 02:29 |
| esac | cp -R | 02:29 |
| karsten | Xpistos: Sounds like Samba weirdness. You're talking about file/print share? | 02:29 |
| karsten | jeeves_Moss: mv <source> <dest> | 02:29 |
| Xpistos | karsten: File sharing | 02:29 |
| ironfoot_495 | karsten: The localhost is not seeing anything I've tried to fix the default configuration but some where I screwed up !!! | 02:29 |
| jeeves_Moss | karsten, I tried that, and I get "unable to remove target: Is a directory" | 02:29 |
| karsten | ironfoot_495: What specific applications or commands are you running? | 02:29 |
| jpg_ny | Xpistos: Windows shares, I understand your pain, may I suggest a FTP solution ? would it work for you ? | 02:29 |
| bamball | jpg: yeah.. but typical page size is 4kb, network runs 100mbit/s, think end up faster swapping to local drive.... | 02:30 |
| rhavenw | rebult: im guessing there is something special that needs to be done for a usb harddrive, that is different from a usb flash drive? | 02:30 |
| ironfoot_495 | karsten: It's the apache2 | 02:30 |
| Swian | I use FTP on my windows box to transfer files | 02:30 |
| karsten | jeeves_Moss: alternately: cp -R <source> <dest>, or rsync, or any number of other tools. Delete source when you're done. | 02:30 |
| YlandeFaran | I seem to have problems with g++ in ubuntu. I get compile error when I try to use "std::sort", "error: 'sort' is not a member of 'std'" I have done "apt-get install build-essential" and "apt-get install g++", so I don't really understand what I'm missing on my system right now. | 02:30 |

| Xpistos | jpg_ny: I would perfer stay away from the ftp because it adds files to my desktop | 02:31 |
| karsten | ironfoot_495: You're not providing me enough useful information to figure out what your problem is. | 02:31 |
| jpg_ny | bamball: network 100mbit/s that/s slow you will have an output of 10mbs then you have to write on the hard disk it is feasable though but I have seen it only on a scsi san | 02:31 |

| Dante123 | Hi all, major network troubles since I installed 8.10 on a second wired computer. Both my main 8.04 and the 8.10 end up with the same IP address. How can I fix this? | 02:44 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> are you using dhcp? | 02:45 |
| Chrisie | foo: yup, 8.10 is stable | 02:45 |
| csilk | bobbiem, link to game please | 02:45 |
| wacky | question: I first noticed the problem when I went to the previous release, however I just went to 8.10 and the problem still exists.. When I try and view an avi file with mplayer.. it loads the first frame and then freezes only showing the frame.. if I fastforward I Can get to a new frame but it just sits at the fram and doesnt play the file.. any ideas? I have tried gstreamer-properties with no luck as well as the mplayer config options regarding video ouput | 02:45 |
| Dante123 | Yes, I have a modem/router (in one unit) that is supposed to assign dhcp for the other computers (but the main computer has a static ip) | 02:45 |
| bobbiem | csilk, i click on the game i want and a new window comes up with the game loading, it shows the advertisement but with not finish loading the game | 02:46 |

| Dante123 | n8tuser somehow one of the machines is being assigned the same ip as my main machine...and hence the system goes wonky when both are on | 02:49 |
| lupine_85 | ville__: depends entirely on EM characteristics of the local environment | 02:50 |
| lupine_85 | certainly possible | 02:50 |
| Dante123 | n8tuser I manually set the second pc as 192.168.1.175 say and that worked.....the computers can see each other on network. But all internet is lost on the second computer | 02:50 |

| kudi | in theory if i use a ubuntu live cd and make an xorg.conf using "dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg" which always works for me, and then i copy the xorg.conf into where it goes in arch, will my xorg finnaly be working if i download the neccesary drivers | 03:00 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> what is the range doled out? | 03:00 |
| Dante123 | n8tuser the third pc is 192.168.1.155 and works fine | 03:01 |
| evilspawn4 | can someone help me? im haveing a problem with my sound and i dont know how to fix it | 03:01 |
| Dante123 | n8tuser currently 1.150 to 1.200 | 03:01 |
| n8tuser | kudi should work | 03:01 |
| zsquareplusc | kudi: yes, copying the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf of your hard drive might help. backup your old one, just in case.. | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | kudi: At this point a default Xorg.conf is almost if not exactly the same as simply not having an xorg.conf at all | 03:01 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> and the mask? why not make the range from 135 to 200 ? | 03:02 |
| khaotik | im having trouble trying to use terminal server client to connect to my vista desktop | 03:02 |
| kudi | who just said something tome i exited out by mistake | 03:02 |
| Dante123 | n8tuser mask is 255.255.255.0 | 03:02 |
| zsquareplusc | kudi: yes, copying the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf of your hard drive might help. backup your old one, just in case.. | 03:02 |
| n8tuser | kudi should work | 03:02 |
| karsten | What's the new thing that's like beagle/spotlight but is named differently? | 03:02 |
| Dante123 | n8tuser okay I can do that....1.135 to 1.200 | 03:02 |
| kudi | well the old one doesnt work at all so ill be fine with anything | 03:02 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> then let the 2nd host re-acquire an ip address | 03:03 |
| Jordan_U | karsten: tracker | 03:03 |
| Dante123 | I have to restart for changes to take affect. | 03:03 |
| turtle_ | Red Hat Enterprise Linux Essentials Pre-assessment Questionnaire | 03:03 |
| karsten | gnome-do was what Mark Pilgrim mentions here: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2008/10/28/essentials-2008 | 03:03 |
| karsten | Jordan_U: Thanks. | 03:03 |
| karsten | ironfoot_495: sorry, distracted. | 03:03 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> nope no need to restart | 03:03 |
| Dante123 | n8tuser I would log out or disconnect network thinking it would get a new ip and it gets the 1.153 everytime unless I manually set it for something else...but then internet doesnt work | 03:04 |
| * lupine_85 notes that these certifications aren't very useful | 03:04 | |
| Stargazer | Firefox looks all screwy, the links aren't showing as well as some text. any ideas ? an example: http://adam.pcriot.com/images/Firefox-image.png | 03:04 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> clear the contents of the lease file on the 2nd host | 03:04 |
| Dante123 | n8tuser my router says it needs a restart in order to work | 03:04 |
| lupine_85 | most DHCP servers will cache leases | 03:04 |
| Dante123 | n8tuser how do I clear the contents | 03:04 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, could you help me? i was having problems with getting java to work, so i could play my games on pogo. well it doesnt tell me that i need java, but it doesnt load all the way | 03:04 |
| zsquareplusc | Stargazer: did you try to start in safe mode, to rule out buggy extensions? | 03:04 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: WRT wu-ftpd gui: it's a server. There are many FTP clients, including GUI clients. Most of the file browsers (konqueror, nautilus) support ftp, as do most web browsers. | 03:05 |
| Jordan_U | karsten: np | 03:05 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> in /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases assuming the 2nd also uses ubuntu | 03:05 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem-> what is pogo? | 03:05 |
| Stargazer | Zsquareplusc, how do i start it in safe mdoe ? | 03:05 |
| itson | i have a fresh installed ubuntu, i want to shut down the X server so i can install the Nvidia drivers, but i dont know how to shut down the X server? i forgot the file i had to edit to tell ubuntu to give me console login insted of gui login. somebody help plz | 03:05 |
| lupine_85 | itson: /etc/init.d/?dm stop | 03:06 |
| n8tuser | itson-> you have to go to single user mode | 03:06 |
| timecist | itson: it can't be done | 03:06 |
| * lupine_85 lols | 03:06 | |
| Jordan_U | itson: Why don't you just use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? | 03:06 |
| zsquareplusc | Stargazer: if you start from command line, there is a switch. try "firefox -h" to find out | 03:06 |
| rockenrola | Hi, I am making a script in python to follow changes on a webpage. I have done that part, now I just want to present the information. I figured a small pop up would be the best way, but Zenity does seem to do what I want. any ideias? | 03:06 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, its a game site. www.pogo.com | 03:06 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: i know - i was looking for a server.. im using fire ftp as client | 03:06 |
| lupine_85 | drop S???dm from /etc/rc2.d to prevent X from starting at boot-time | 03:06 |
| zsquareplusc | Stargazer: "firefox -safe-mode" | 03:06 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> type this java -version and what is the response? | 03:07 |
| itson | because /sys > admin > hadrware drivers says everything is up to date, ( i just setup ubuntu linux in Parallels on my mac | 03:07 |
| egoflux | has anyone had any problems with transkode on amarok? | 03:07 |
| Xpistos | Night | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | itson: You don't install video drivers for your real GPU on a virtual machine | 03:07 |
| Mountain_Mover | I have an intel quadcore 64bit system running 8gigs of ram which Ubuntu should i download and install that has compiz-fusion as well | 03:07 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, java version "1.6.0_07" | 03:08 |
| bobbiem_ | Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06) | 03:08 |
| bobbiem_ | Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing) | 03:08 |
| itson | Jordan_U, how can i get higer rez on my virtual machine? because the options wont let me go pass 1024x768 ( or something like that ) i have a REALLY big monitor and GeForce 8800 GT | 03:08 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: well i just see that the only thing i have to do is creating user in ubuntu ;) | 03:08 |
| bamball | mt_mover: how much did it cost u? | 03:08 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: There are virtually no, and I would say, there are absolutely no, servers in Linux with GUIs. | 03:08 |
| Dante1231 | n8tuser | 03:09 |
| Mountain_Mover | bamball ? | 03:09 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: can you tell me if a mount is persistent? i mean...if i type mount ... ... does this still work after reboot? | 03:09 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: Ther are some GUI management tools and such which may provide a GUI fornt-end, but that's a differnet kettle of fish. | 03:09 |
| bamball | the machine | 03:09 |
| Dante1231 | n8tuser now I have 1.152 as the ip | 03:09 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> is it working now? | 03:09 |
| Mountain_Mover | bamball I bought it when it was a little more expensive but I built this system under 1000 | 03:09 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: why is this a different kettle of fish? ;) | 03:09 |
| lupine_85 | pw-toxic_: /etc/fstab | 03:09 |
| pw-toxic_ | lupine_85: whast this? | 03:09 |
| bamball | 1000 is US right | 03:10 |
| outbackwifi | !hi | 03:10 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 03:10 |
| bamball | sorri i am not in US | 03:10 |
| Mountain_Mover | correct | 03:10 |
| lupine_85 | pw-toxic_: where you put persistent mounts | 03:10 |
| outbackwifi | is there a channel for 8.04 still? | 03:10 |
| bamball | 8gb ram | 03:10 |
| Mountain_Mover | which ubuntu can I get installed under virtual pc 2007? | 03:10 |
| bamball | did u get 4x 2gb chip | 03:10 |
| * lupine_85 -> bed | 03:10 | |
| Mountain_Mover | ram is dirt cheap right now | 03:10 |
| soreau | Mountain_Mover: Wrong | 03:10 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: If the mount is in /etc/fstab and has the option 'auto', yes, it will persist. If it isn't, or you manually invoked th emount, you'll have to re-mount on reboot. | 03:10 |
| soreau | Mountain_Mover: Compiz wont work in a virtual machine | 03:10 |
| bamball | not 4gb modules | 03:10 |
| pw-toxic_ | ah gedit fstab ;) | 03:10 |
| Dante1231 | n8tuser yes, but the change in range did not work for some reason. The range is 1.150 to 1.200 | 03:10 |
| === basso_ is now known as basso-sleep | ||
| karsten | pw-toxic_: The front-ends are usually developed independently of the server dev effort itself. | 03:10 |
| Mountain_Mover | ah | 03:11 |
| Stargazer | Zsquareplusc: http://paste.stirk.org/42204 | 03:11 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: yes i hope so... | 03:11 |
| Dante1231 | n8tuser but this time the two computers have a different ip at least | 03:11 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: the ms-sql server also works without a gui... | 03:11 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> you have to reset your modem/router? | 03:11 |
| Mountain_Mover | soreau even if I can up the ram as much as I want? | 03:11 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: and filezilla ftp server also does | 03:11 |
| ferfactor | i have this problem any idea?? | 03:11 |
| ferfactor | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69084/ | 03:11 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: thats nothing linux/ubuntu specific | 03:11 |
| Mountain_Mover | or is it the generic video drivers that is the show stopper | 03:11 |
| soreau | Mountain_Mover: Plan on installing linux to a partition if you want to get compiz running | 03:11 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: filezilla does or doesn't have a GUI? | 03:11 |
| Dante1231 | n8tuser I did....and I reconnected with a new ip (1.152) but the range did not change....I will try again | 03:12 |
| Mountain_Mover | ok nevertheless, which ubuntu do I want | 03:12 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: There's not a lot in app/server space that is Ubuntu-specific. Most packages are pulled from upstream. | 03:12 |
| lianimator | can someone please confirm with me, if you canNOT play the flash file from /tmp when youtube video is loading? | 03:12 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: filezilla does have a gui if you want to have one, but you dont need one | 03:12 |
| soreau | Mountain_Mover: the video drivers don't support texture from pixmap (in a virtual machine) which is indeed a show stopper | 03:12 |
| Mountain_Mover | for a quadcore intel based | 03:12 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: ... ubuntu is the package management and configuration. | 03:12 |
| zsquareplusc | Stargazer: hm. so the display is still crippled? maybe some installation problem then. and did you try the #firefox channel? | 03:12 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: OK | 03:12 |
| === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin | ||
| Dante1231 | n8tuser thanks for help so far. I will try to fix later.....kids and wife get mad when i reset router | 03:12 |
| soreau | ! install | 03:12 |
| Dante1231 | ;-) | 03:12 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: what do i have to type into fstab? the same like mount without "mount" ? | 03:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 03:12 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> can you put in pastebin the contents of /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ dir ? | 03:12 |
| Stargazer | Zsquareplusc, i didn't know there was such a channel. | 03:12 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: What are you trying to do? | 03:13 |
| pw-toxic_ | i just dont know what to do with <type> <options> <dump> and <pass> ;) | 03:13 |
| n8tuser | Dante123-> no worries, at least you got your pc working | 03:13 |
| Mountain_Mover | Im looking at intrepid ibex is that the wrong distro? | 03:13 |
| mattb0001 | Hello? | 03:13 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: you can use either the 32bit or the 64bit cd | 03:13 |
| pw-toxic_ | i want to mount my 1TB NTFS disc into my ftp home folder ;) | 03:13 |
| Mountain_Mover | ok but the 64bit says AMD64 was just curious | 03:13 |
| pw-toxic_ | so that i can access it via ftp | 03:13 |
| mattb0001 | In ubuntu 8.04 can you create a launcher that executes two commands? | 03:13 |
| jeeves_Moss | how do I get an install of server to auto mount a USB drive? | 03:13 |
| evilspawn4 | hey guys can i get some help with ubuntu? i just installed it like 2 days ago and after i installed Wine my sound wont work | 03:13 |
| bamball | ziroday: isn't the 32bit version with PAE disabled | 03:13 |
| zsquareplusc | Stargazer: there is even a #ubuntu-mozillateam, maybe they care about this too? | 03:13 |
| bamball | by default | 03:13 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: both are fine, however you may have some issues with the 64bit and some applications | 03:14 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: <partition> <mountpoint> ntfs-3g <options> 0 0 | 03:14 |
| n8tuser | mattb0001-> why dont you try it? | 03:14 |
| ziroday | bamball: eh? | 03:14 |
| mattb0001 | In ubuntu 8.04 can you create a launcher that executes two commands? here what I have: sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start && /etc/init.d/ssh start | 03:14 |
| mattb0001 | it won't work | 03:14 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: I don't know all the ntfs-3g options, there are some you may want to look at. | 03:14 |
| jeeves_Moss | anyone? auto mount on a USB drive? | 03:14 |
| karsten | !sound > evilspawn4 | 03:14 |
| ubottu | evilspawn4, please see my private message | 03:14 |
| ziroday | mattb0001: replace the && with a ; | 03:14 |
| Ronin101101 | is anyone else having problems with evolution in 8.10 ??? | 03:14 |
| Mountain_Mover | hardy versus intrepid? | 03:14 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: where do you know the "ntfs-3g" thing? | 03:14 |
| bamball | ziroday: i think PAE is disable on 32bit kernel by default.. so can only address 4gb? | 03:14 |
| ziroday | bamball: yes thats correct | 03:14 |
| bamball | he should go for 64bit if he has 8gb ram | 03:15 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: ntfs-3g is the new NTFS driver. *MUCH* better than earlier versions. Full read-write support. I may break all your toys though. | 03:15 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, it says its a directory | 03:15 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, i am not sure what pastebin is | 03:15 |
| bamball | unless want to recompile the kernel | 03:15 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: Microsoft doesn't document NTFS, so implementation is a guess. | 03:15 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: hardy is more stable whilst intrepid has newer stuff. You should be aware that 32bit can only handle up tp 3GB of RAM | 03:15 |
| n8tuser | !pastebin | bobbiem_ | 03:15 |
| ubottu | bobbiem_: 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) | 03:15 |
| evilspawn4 | ty | 03:15 |
| kindofabuzz | something is wrong with my Synaptic. I can search through command line just fine for packages but not with Synaptic. | 03:15 |
| pw-toxic_ | #filezbomber into home | 03:15 |
| pw-toxic_ | /dev/sda1/home/pw-toxic/filez ntfs-3g 0 0 | 03:15 |
| pw-toxic_ | so i add this into fstab | 03:15 |
| === NULL40 is now known as zeropointo | ||
| Mountain_Mover | how easy is it to get Ubuntu to communicate with windows based file system I want to use the ubuntu as a file server a good idea or no? | 03:15 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: you can use samba to do that, it is reasonably easy | 03:16 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: 'auto' or 'noauto' as a minimum for options (before '0 0'). | 03:16 |
| ziroday | !samba | Mountain_Mover | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Mountain_Mover: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 03:16 |
| Mountain_Mover | zibri im glad samba has come a long way | 03:16 |
| Mountain_Mover | does samba use fat32 or does it use ntfs? | 03:16 |
| bamball | samba is network file system protocol | 03:16 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: it uses the linux filesystem, you will probably want ext3 | 03:17 |
| Jordan_U | itson: http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/05/29/how-to-increase-the-screen-resolutions-available-to-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-while-running-in-parallels-desktop/ Might be helpfull | 03:17 |
| mattb0001 | Nope it won't work | 03:17 |
| zsquareplusc | Mountain_Mover: it is a network protocol implementation, that has nothing to do with disk formats | 03:17 |

| mattb0001 | what should I be using to start proftpd and ssh server? | 03:17 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, i dont understand.. what do i do? | 03:17 |
| * karsten finally tracks down "Samba-3 by Example" too late for Xpistos | 03:17 | |
| karsten | http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-ByExample/ | 03:17 |
| Mountain_Mover | ok so I can store any kind of file on Ubuntu and still access it from other OS's | 03:17 |
| khaotik | how do i use terminal server client to connect to my desktop??? | 03:17 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> can you put in pastebin the contents of /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ dir ? | 03:18 |
| pw-toxic_ | /dev/sda1/home/pw-toxic/filez ntfs-3g auto0 0 | 03:18 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: so this is correct? | 03:18 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: correct, that is what samba allows you to do | 03:18 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: how can i test if this is correct | 03:18 |
| zsquareplusc | Mountain_Mover: maybe karsten 's link above is good for oyu too :-) | 03:18 |
| ziroday | khaotik: you need to enable vnc | 03:18 |
| karsten | pw-toxic_: Try to mount it. Either it will work or it won't. | 03:18 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> ls -la /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ then put in pastebin | 03:18 |
| kindofabuzz | ahh found out there is a bug in synaptic in Intrepid..found a fix | 03:18 |
| bamball | I thot samba only allows access windows shares? | 03:18 |
| Mountain_Mover | should I use hardy or intrepid ibex? | 03:18 |
| khaotik | under add remove? or can i do that from terminal? | 03:18 |
| kindofabuzz | hardy =) | 03:18 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: i want to try the code i have just written | 03:19 |
| bamball | don't u need to run nfs server for sharing ext3 | 03:19 |
| ziroday | bamball: no, linux, mac os x and windows can all access samba shares | 03:19 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: the mount i have typed into the terminal worked.. | 03:19 |
| teratoma | how do i set which xorg driver i am using ? | 03:19 |

| karsten | pw-toxic_: Cool. | 03:19 |
| Mountain_Mover | ziroday documentation still the same for samba in that you have to read 50 pages? | 03:20 |

| anonident | hey | 03:20 |
| anonident | anyone familiar with setting up an ati radeon graphics card? | 03:20 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: not so much, you should look at those links I gave you before | 03:20 |
| ziroday | anonident: which card? | 03:20 |
| Mountain_Mover | ok will do | 03:20 |
| Mountain_Mover | thanks | 03:21 |
| timreichhart | can anybody help me to confg my modem on my server 8.04 i am using Agere Systems LT WinModem | 03:21 |
| anonident | ati radeon 3450 | 03:21 |
| songwind | I can't figure out where the actual config is being stored. It knows to use dvorak, but didn't keep my setting to have standard Qwerty available by hotkey. | 03:21 |
| soreau | Mountain_Mover: Just grab a live cd here, burn it, and boot live to test it out: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ | 03:21 |
| anonident | works 50/50 | 03:21 |
| bamball | it seems open-sshd has been removed from the synaptic package explorer...?? | 03:21 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, ok i did it, and put it in pastebin, no whwar? | 03:21 |
| pw-toxic_ | karsten: have fun and thx | 03:21 |
| ziroday | anonident: are you using hardy or intrepid? | 03:21 |
| anonident | half the time it sends my computer to a black screen | 03:21 |
| Mountain_Mover | do I want the server install then? | 03:21 |
| anonident | 8.4 I think | 03:21 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> whats the link so i can see it too | 03:21 |
| Mountain_Mover | to use samba? | 03:21 |
| anonident | hardy | 03:22 |
| Jordan_U | bamball: It's always been called openssh-server | 03:22 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: either will work fine. but if the computer is just going to be a server then perhaps the server install is best | 03:22 |
| bamball | Jordan_U : oops | 03:22 |
| ziroday | anonident: okay, there are no drivers currently for your card in hardy, you can use envyng to get them however | 03:22 |
| Mountain_Mover | it appears the server doesnt install graphic stuff :( oh well... i'll figure it out | 03:22 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, http://paste.ubuntu.com/69086/ | 03:22 |
| Mountain_Mover | I dont need apache, php, mysql and all that | 03:22 |
| anonident | what is envyng? | 03:23 |
| bamball | Jordan_U: it's really gone. | 03:23 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: you can remove the afterwards, or you can use the minimal install iso | 03:23 |
| anonident | are there drivers for my card in a different release? | 03:23 |
| bamball | Jordan_U: not appearing on my 8.10 default install | 03:23 |
| anonident | and thanks for your help ziro, I really appreciate it | 03:23 |
| Mountain_Mover | I am going to go for the desktop | 03:23 |
| ziroday | anonident: its a package in the repos which get drivers from ati.com. If you upgrade to intrepid the drivers are already there for you | 03:23 |
| bamball | Jordan_U: apt-get worked tho | 03:24 |
| Mountain_Mover | test it on virtual pc first then make my way to installing it on the file server | 03:24 |
| Jordan_U | bamball: It's only installed by default in ubuntu server | 03:24 |
| anonident | can I upgrade through update manager? | 03:24 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> its seems the plugin is in the correct spot | 03:24 |
| egoflux | hmmm | 03:24 |
| ziroday | anonident: yes | 03:24 |
| egoflux | amarok is auto-renaming some songs | 03:24 |
| egoflux | it's wierd | 03:24 |
| anonident | its not showing up when I run it | 03:24 |
| bamball | Jordan_U: shouldn't it appear in the synaptic ? "ssh" was the keyword i used | 03:24 |
| ferfactor | my webcam in cheese is very slowly, but i check the properties un gstreamer and i checjked and there is really normal i don't identify why is the problem y use the console to check any problem but the console is clear | 03:25 |
| ziroday | !upgrade | anonident | 03:25 |
| ubottu | anonident: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 03:25 |
| Jordan_U | bamball: It should, don't know why it didn't for you | 03:25 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, hmmm what does "applet game death"? | 03:25 |
| leohartx | how do i access an windows shared resource ? | 03:25 |
| egoflux | has anyone encountered that problem? it keeps renaming the song to VA - Outro | 03:26 |
| bamball | Jordan_U: mine was a fresh install of 8.10 x64 | 03:26 |
| ziroday | leohartx: you can use the file manager | 03:26 |
| zsquareplusc | leohartx: places->network menu? | 03:26 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> i dont know...whats the url you want to visit? | 03:26 |
| bamball | Jordan_U: this morning | 03:26 |
| egoflux | it's all the songs from the same cd | 03:26 |
| khaotik | so does the machine i am trying to connect to have to be connected to a server i take it? | 03:26 |
| leohartx | zsquareplusc, nothing appear | 03:26 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, http://www.pogo.com/games/poppit | 03:27 |
| anonident | not showing the upgrade to 8.10 by default is a mistake in my opinion | 03:27 |
| anonident | fwiw | 03:27 |
| zsquareplusc | leohartx: windoze network is somtimes slow (if you dont have a wins server). so you might need to try serveral times (refresh). i assume you want to acces an other networked computer? | 03:28 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> it works for me | 03:28 |
| Jordan_U | anonident: Some users don't want to upgrade every 6 months, and I often set up machines for other people with an LTS version so they can go years without a major upgrade that they probably don't want / nee | 03:28 |
| Jordan_U | d | 03:28 |
| leohartx | zsquareplusc, i managed it, thankyou | 03:29 |
| bobbiem_ | n8tuser, yes that is what someone else told me, it works for them. i keep getting applet game death | 03:29 |
| zsquareplusc | leohartx: did it show up now, or did you find an other way? | 03:29 |
| ferfactor | any program to control webcam? | 03:29 |
| Jordan_U | ferfactor: Control in what way? | 03:29 |
| itson | please someone help me with virtual machine running ubuntu. I cant seem to increase its rez, ( running Parallels Desktop on my mac ) i have Geforce 8800 card. | 03:30 |
| ferfactor | Jordan_U, like cheese | 03:30 |
| Jordan_U | ferfactor: You can use your webcam with cheese or ekiga | 03:30 |
| ferfactor | Jordan_U, my webcam with cheese is really slow... | 03:30 |
| leohartx | zsquareplusc, i used "connect to server" | 03:30 |
| zsquareplusc | leohartx: ah .-) | 03:30 |
| zsquareplusc | :-) | 03:30 |
| anonident | yeah, but it seems like you should give them the choice | 03:30 |
| anonident | I assume most people would just do the update | 03:30 |
| anonident | takes a few mins and you get all the latest features | 03:31 |
| n8tuser | bobbiem_-> you seem to be missing lots of plugins in your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ | 03:31 |
| ziroday | anonident: you can vote, or create the idea on brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 03:31 |
| ferfactor | Jordan_U, any idea her??? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69088/ | 03:31 |
| anonident | well I'll probably be back after I finish this | 03:31 |

| ziroday | !sound | ghang | 03:47 |

| zsquareplusc | _cb: backup files. i.e. copy /etc/* /home/* to an other disk. maybe /var/* too | 03:52 |

| csilk | "hack attacks" | 03:54 |
| csilk | lol | 03:54 |
| nickrud | cllaudyu, mostly | 03:54 |
| Mountain_Mover | oh so virtualbox is a music app? | 03:54 |
| csilk | n8tuser, I'm sorry but that's just plain wrong | 03:54 |
| ziroday | !virus | cllaudyu | 03:54 |
| ubottu | cllaudyu: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 03:54 |
| nickrud | Mountain_Mover, no, it's a way to run an os inside another. For example, I sometimes boot up vista inside of ubuntu to test web pages | 03:55 |
| n8tuser | csilk-> what is plain wrong with it? | 03:55 |
| csilk | n8tuser, my plugins folder has 4 files and I have no problems what so ever. You obviously consume more media than I but in no way is your plugins folder the "norm" | 03:55 |
| Mountain_Mover | cool so its the same as virtual pc for win | 03:55 |
| n8tuser | csilk-> it may not be a norm, but certainly not plain wrong! | 03:55 |
| Mountain_Mover | but its for linux instead | 03:55 |
| ziroday | Mountain_Mover: thats correct | 03:56 |
| nickrud | Mountain_Mover, for windows and sun as well | 03:56 |

| modpauper | joljam: That's saying how much memory you have, how much is used, and how much is cached. The free memory is free + cached. The problem may be related to CPU use. Try using top. Read about it more at http://lifehacker.com/399468/top-10-command-line-tools and the man page (type 'man top' in a terminal) | 04:43 |
| harryinoferio | waan: reinstall would result to a totally reformating again right? | 04:43 |
| qkall | ziroday: thanks upgrading and rebooting | 04:43 |
| modpauper | joljam: Top will let you see the processes running on your machine, and how much memory/CPU they're using. Using it, you can identify processes that are taking up a lot of resources. If you can't figure out what a process is by its name, try googling the name of the process. | 04:44 |

| pw-toxic_ | ubunaut: any suggestions? | 05:06 |
| Guinnesss | dfgas: log out and log in as a different user...you'll see its encrypted | 05:06 |
| ubunaut | dfgas, do you mean the "Private" directory? it is encrypted, it may appear accessible because you are logged in | 05:06 |
| ronhalfdanr | have done clean reinstalls, have upgraded to 8.1 and done yet another clean install.......no joy, no answers on the forums, nothing in any docs | 05:06 |
| Guinnesss | dfgas: It's only encrypted while you are logged out. | 05:07 |
| ubunaut | pw-toxic_, user setup depends on the ftp server, what error do you get when trying to connect? | 05:07 |
| dfgas | root can access it just fine | 05:07 |
| usser | dfgas, yes it is | 05:07 |
| har02052 | as soon as it is restarted, the repeating sound starts up again | 05:08 |
| Guinnesss | dfgas, yes root can access it while your user is logged in. | 05:08 |
| usser | dfgas, mount your harddrive from live cd and try to access it | 05:08 |
| qkall | Yowshi: did you get it? | 05:08 |
| murlidhar | ronhalfdanr: it needs to debugged which i won't know how to do it . someone else might help you . just be please patient .:) | 05:08 |
| qkall | ziroday: can you point me in the right direction... like what to google? | 05:08 |
| cllaudyu | hi | 05:08 |
| murlidhar | ronhalfdanr: actually i don't use nautilus . so i won't know much about it | 05:08 |
| Guinnesss | dfgas...the purpose of it is to secure information if your computer where stolen or something... | 05:09 |
| Yowshi | qkall: doesnt have the chmod command ;) | 05:09 |
| cllaudyu | help!! all of my programs crash often | 05:09 |
| moDumass | which docs do i need to see to find out which one is setting my only screen res options to 640x480 or 320Xwhatever | 05:09 |
| murlidhar | ronhalfdanr: in the meantime . if you having trouble you could use pcmanfm as the alternative . | 05:09 |
| pw-toxic_ | ubunaut: unable to make a connections. please try again. | 05:09 |
| Guinnesss | dfgas, not secure your info against root. | 05:09 |
| ronhalfdanr | murlidhar: , I'v e been attempting to get help the last week............I need to get work done and if it isn;t fixed otnight tomorrow I switch back to XP because I can actually get to my files to configure apps then use them to work | 05:09 |
| murlidhar | !info pcmanfm | 05:09 |

| har02052 | if I go into sound props and test the sound | 05:09 |
| Yowshi | qkall: this is good though thanks. dont kow if i will need more involved commands | 05:10 |
| ubunaut | pw-toxic_, maybe check to see that the server process is running | 05:10 |
| murlidhar | har02052: try it | 05:10 |
| ziroday | qkall: sorry was away, am really not sure. Best thing to do is ask your service provider or google your service providers name and linux | 05:10 |
| Yowshi | qkall: oh it does have chmod heh | 05:10 |
| qkall | Yowshi: yeah i wish i found this like a year or so ago... | 05:10 |
| pw-toxic_ | ubunaut: well no its not... but why? | 05:11 |
| Yowshi | qkall: this will certainly be a help | 05:11 |
| pw-toxic_ | if i type "wu-ftpd" there is no answer.. and this should mean it works | 05:11 |
| newname | hey ziro | 05:11 |
| qkall | ziroday: maybe if i knew what i was looking for exactly.. like the login name? vpn? | 05:11 |
| ziroday | newname: hello? | 05:11 |
| cllaudyu | does a server for romania exist? | 05:11 |
| har02052 | I get this error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument | 05:11 |

| moDumass | most recent post says to use ENVY to change my screen res, but ive also been told in the past to steer clear of envy | 05:13 |
| moDumass | but im stuck in 640x480 land and it blows | 05:13 |
| elpargo | cllaudyu, you mean IRC channel? if it exists it should be #ubuntu-XX, where XX is your country code. | 05:13 |
| binarymutant | if I put a file in /usr/bin why does dmenu not show it or how can I add programs to dmenu? | 05:14 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: tried xrandr ? | 05:14 |
| ziroday | qkall: err did you make sure your username and password was correct, for that matter all the settings were correct when right clicking? | 05:14 |
| thethirdmoose_ | In Intrepid, I can't get the fast-user-switch applet to show up. I upgraded from Hardy and it doesn't show up in the add-to-panel menu | 05:14 |
| moDumass | marlidhar, xrande is new to me, i ran it last night but i didnt know what to look for or how to change it.. | 05:14 |
| pw-toxic_ | ubunaut: do you know another ftp server i could use? | 05:15 |
| elpargo | cllaudyu, if not look for it here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat | 05:15 |
| cllaudyu | elpargo: yes i found that out... but i thought there was a server | 05:15 |
| qkall | ziroday: honestly i don't know where to find that.. and i'm weary of calling att since they think i have a prepaid phone... heh. | 05:15 |
| elpargo | cllaudyu, server? why will you want a server for a single channel | 05:15 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: it just show you the resolution it support to your ccard | 05:15 |
| moDumass | marlidhar, but im keen to give it a whirl, il google it | 05:15 |
| moDumass | thanks | 05:15 |
| ziroday | qkall: well if you have att they're a pretty big telco, do you want me to try google around for you? | 05:15 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: please use murl then press TAB to autocomplete my name :p | 05:16 |
| qkall | ziroday: if i knew what to google i'd do it.. i just don't know what to google... | 05:16 |
| moDumass | murlidhar, ok | 05:16 |
| murlidhar | :) | 05:16 |
| moDumass | murlidhar, is there any way to increase the number of available res`s that its allowing | 05:16 |
| ziroday | qkall: you might want to ask in #ubuntu-us or #ubuntu-us-<yourstate> as they will most likely know what settings are needed by the local telco | 05:17 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: afaik no . | 05:17 |
| moDumass | murlidhar, this was a surprise ubuntu mashup, no changes, jsut decided to stop showing 1440x900 | 05:17 |
| moDumass | hmm | 05:17 |
| qkall | ziroday: i went there first they tend to not respond... but i | 05:17 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: what is the resolution your monitor can support to | 05:17 |
| qkall | 'll | 05:17 |
| qkall | peep them again | 05:17 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: one sec | 05:18 |

| DaveCave | good evening fellas | 05:18 |
| DaveCave | how goes the world of ubuntu users 2night | 05:18 |
| qkall | ziroday: no don | 05:18 |
| ybp | hi all - i'm having a problem with the ati binary driver and dual-screens | 05:18 |
| qkall | t worry you've helped alot | 05:18 |
| maxxist | Does anyone else get tons of i/o errors on sr0 when booting from any of the ubuntu installs discs? I got that problem from two separate systems tonight. | 05:19 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: i forgot the command . do you use gnome ? then try using the display properties | 05:19 |
| maxxist | i should mention they were 8.10 | 05:19 |
| ybp | basically, it works except that the smaller monitor has space that is cut off on the side | 05:20 |
| ybp | you can see this space, but only when zoomed out in expo, or in the pager which shows the extra space | 05:20 |
| DaveCave | anyone know how to install multible copies of Wine for multiboxing games? i attempted my own way, to no avail | 05:20 |
| pw-toxic_ | ubunaut: proftp works | 05:20 |
| moDumass | murlidhar, im in gnome, and display properties only shows 640x and 320x xorg.conf still has the 1440x in it | 05:20 |
| ziroday | DaveCave: you mean similar to how crossover has their "bottles"? | 05:20 |
| kazim59 | How to play .rmvb files? There is no video. :( | 05:21 |
| DaveCave | ziroday: define these "bottles" i refuse to pay for crossover | 05:21 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: maybe the driver has changed . look for another driver from it . | 05:21 |
| ziroday | kazim59: do you have the real player codecs installed? | 05:21 |
| moDumass | an updated nvidia driver? | 05:21 |
| kazim59 | ziroday: yes. Installed all codecs from mplayer website. drvc.so is supposedly the realvid codec. | 05:21 |
| ziroday | DaveCave: ah, they're basically different version of windows, as some programs run better on different versions | 05:21 |
| ziroday | !codecs | kazim59 | 05:21 |
| ubottu | kazim59: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 05:21 |
| moDumass | murlidhar, il update the driver ans see if that makes a change | 05:21 |
| pegal_linux | i need a barcode generator program with use gtk lib | 05:22 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: k | 05:22 |
| pegal_linux | what is program name ? | 05:22 |
| DaveCave | ziroday: i dont need different versions of the OS, i just need multible Wine "windows" open for playing 2 games at once, i was running 2 WOW's in the same Wine, and spanning across 2 screens, kinda works, but not the best | 05:22 |
| seclm193 | Anyone know anything about a network manager patch? | 05:22 |
| DaveCave | i want to actually run Wine Twice | 05:22 |
| murlidhar | pegal_linux: google it please . i am not sure . | 05:22 |
| kazim59 | ziroday: the problem is surprising, because mplayer says "no such file /usr/lib/codecs/drvc.so"... while the file exists there with good permissions. | 05:23 |
| ziroday | DaveCave: ah, well no clue about that. Tried asking in #winehq? | 05:23 |
| cdeppen | why would I get an "Unable to connect" error trying to connect to a Terminal Server Gateway using the Terminal Server Client in Ubuntu? | 05:23 |
| pegal_linux | murlidhar, i have so tired gooling for search this topic | 05:23 |
| ziroday | kazim59: you tried using vlc? | 05:23 |
| pegal_linux | not found solution | 05:23 |
| pegal_linux | i just get kde base program, kbarcode | 05:24 |
| * cllaudyu am revenit! | 05:24 | |
| kazim59 | ziroday: yes, fails to play video | 05:24 |
| tedium | pegal_linux, have you tried looking on freshmeat.net ? | 05:24 |
| murlidhar | pegal_linux: you could use it | 05:24 |
| After_Math | Is there a channel where I could find information on how to encode ripped dvds to dvd format | 05:24 |
| pegal_linux | ok | 05:24 |
| DaveCave | how do i connect to #winehq? | 05:25 |
| tedium | After_Math, google is good i'd check out k9copy | 05:25 |
| DaveCave | said no such channel | 05:25 |
| thomas_ | I dont know what the heck Im doing except maybe trashing a perfectly used computer!!! | 05:25 |
| tedium | DaveCave, /join #winehq | 05:26 |
| DaveCave | tryed | 05:26 |
| frybye | Hi - how do I change an entry in the appl. menu so that the specific appl. will be started with a customized start command?? | 05:26 |
| DaveCave | ohhh its caps sensitive lol wow im smart | 05:27 |
| frybye | right-clicking on the menu-entry for the appl. does not seem to give me this option? | 05:27 |
| tedium | DaveCave, huh weird that it is case sensitive.. | 05:27 |
| frybye | ok - sorry folks - just found it "edit menus" .. c u | 05:28 |
| faryshta | Hurray I got compiz on XFCE. | 05:28 |
| faryshta | Now there is nothing I can miss from Gnome jejeje. | 05:28 |
| esac | ok, im sort of going to be screwed if i reboot right now. i was cleaning up from a custom kernel i made and typo'd and deleted all kernels including the currently running kernel, and initrd. anybody know how i can get those back easily ? | 05:29 |
| faryshta | why everybody got quiet so suddenly? | 05:29 |
| faryshta | esac, try synaptic. | 05:30 |
| unop | esac, sudo aptitude install linux-image linux-image-$(uname -r) | 05:30 |
| esac | well except that it is already installed. so i guess ill have to remove it first | 05:31 |
| unop | esac, why remove it at all? | 05:31 |
| faryshta | I think you will install linux-firmware | 05:31 |
| unop | eh? | 05:31 |
| faryshta | linux-headers-$(uname-r) | 05:31 |
| unop | that's not necessary | 05:32 |
| qstnn | Since I have upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 my laptop doesn't shutdown, I get no error messages the GUI just gets stuck at the part where the progress bar empties as the computer shuts down. I have to manually power it off. If I press ctrl-alt-f1, I get the login prompt but my keypresses are not registered in that 'stuck' state. If i then, press ctrl-alt-f7 I don't see any message with 'warning' or 'error' next to it. | 05:32 |
| esac | unop: installing linux-image works, but linux-image-`uname -r` reports that it is already installed | 05:33 |
| rrittenhouse | I am using an Acer Aspire One with an Atheros chipset under Ubuntu Ibex 32bit. Network mangaer is telling me (i think) that I have a bad password to my wireless. | 05:33 |
| esac | unop: either way, it is not recreating the kernel image in /boot | 05:33 |
| faryshta | linux-headers-$(uname-r)-generic | 05:33 |
| faryshta | linux-headers-generic | 05:33 |
| faryshta | linux-image-$(uname-r) | 05:33 |
| faryshta | linux-image-$(uname-r)-generic | 05:33 |
| faryshta | linux-image-generic | 05:33 |
| FloodBot1 | faryshta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:33 |
| faryshta | and that is the all kernel. | 05:33 |
| kazim59 | ziroday: it worked... how surprising! | 05:33 |
| zachary | has anyone noticed that with frequency scaling set to "ondemand" there is considerable lag in stepping up the CPU during high loads. Is there a way to adjust sensitivity? | 05:33 |
| ziroday | kazim59: great! | 05:33 |
| mindframe | can someone help me figure out why my windows are drawing so slowly after upgrading to intrepid? | 05:34 |
| unop | faryshta, use a pastebin if you want to paste multiple lines | 05:34 |
| rrittenhouse | If I hit show password it has random junk in there and not my wpa personal password, is this right or am i getting a confliction with seahorse | 05:34 |
| faryshta | I didn't copy paste. I am reading my synaptic right now unop, FloodBot1 | 05:34 |
| pegal_linux | thank's, i found barcode generator with gtk lib | 05:34 |
| unop | esac, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow linux-image linux-image-$(uname -r) | 05:34 |
| unop | faryshta, well, whatever you did caused multiple lines to be posted into the room - try and not do that | 05:35 |
| esac | unop: oh, i just did sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-`uname -r` .. seeing if that works now | 05:35 |
| ideaviet89 | ; | 05:35 |
| esac | yep worked great :) | 05:35 |
| ideaviet89 | 'jklkml | 05:35 |
| faryshta | unop, I was naming the packages which make the kernel in order to help esac, | 05:35 |
| esac | ideaviet89: ? | 05:35 |
| maxxist | well. I really like the new nvidia x config app with ubuntu. twinview was stoopid easy to setup. yeay nvidia. | 05:36 |
| unop | faryshta, ok, that's understood - but don't paste that info into the room - use a private message or a pastebin instead. | 05:36 |
| faryshta | I didn't paste it, I was reading it and writting it. | 05:37 |
| tedium | maxxist, you can still use it: sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings | 05:37 |
| unop | ohh god | 05:37 |
| ziroday | mindframe: are you using compiz and what graphics card? | 05:37 |
| burkesbythebay | running 8.10 and usb memory sticks are not mounting also when i put CD in they no longer pick up as well. Think its related to a bad fstab file. Can anybody help http://paste.ubuntu.com/69103/ | 05:37 |
| unop | !enter | faryshta | 05:37 |
| ubottu | faryshta: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:37 |
| moDumass | murlidhar, it seems im not running nvidia x server | 05:37 |
| maxxist | tedium use what? its all working now | 05:37 |
| faryshta | I was baned again? why? | 05:38 |
| tedium | maxxist, oh I thought you missed the app | 05:38 |
| moDumass | murlidhar, it says to start it then restart x, which i did but it still says im not running it | 05:38 |
| murlidhar | unop: could you help moDumass ? | 05:38 |
| maxxist | tedium nope just expressing how happy i was. hehe | 05:38 |
| unop | faryshta, because you were flooding quite unnecessarily | 05:38 |
| murlidhar | moDumass: please explain your problem tu unop | 05:38 |
| tedium | unop, I always found it interesting how the bot will private message the people those messages and yet everyone decides to do it publically so as to admonish the person and also make us read it as well.. | 05:39 |
| BrokenPeace | hello all dose anyone know about an xvod decoder for ubuntu? | 05:39 |
| moDumass | unop, hi, my desktop froze last night, mouse still moving but nothing clickable or reactive, so i restarted and now my only option is 640x480 | 05:40 |
| ziroday | BrokenPeace: what do you want to do? | 05:40 |
| moDumass | unop, xorg.conf still has 1440x900 | 05:40 |
| maxxist | question about ubuntu-restricted-extras on 64bit. it seems to be installing lots of 32bit stuff too. does this mean I should have no problem running 32bit apps too?? | 05:40 |
| BrokenPeace | there's a movie that says I need the driver to view it | 05:40 |
| moDumass | unop, i was given the option to reconfigure my display at start up and i selected generic 1440x900 lcd, but it still only lets me choose 640x480 | 05:41 |
| ziroday | !codecs | BrokenPeace | 05:41 |

| === DouglasK_ is now known as DouglasK | ||
| moDumass | unop, it did, for the past 4 years | 05:41 |
| burkesbythebay | can any one help | 05:41 |
| ronhalfdanr | file browser freezes................any help? | 05:41 |
| unop | moDumass, ok, what changed? what did you do just prior to this happening? | 05:41 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: have you tried other file browsers? | 05:41 |
| moDumass | onop, the strange thing is i still have compiz fusion running | 05:41 |
| ronhalfdanr | like what ones ziroday? | 05:41 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: roxfiler, pcmanfm, thunar | 05:42 |
| moDumass | unop, i was surfing the net, no system update, just pressed stumble and realised i couldnt click the button | 05:42 |
| n8tuser | moDumass-> what does xdpyinfo tells you for screen#0 ? | 05:42 |
| murlidhar | ronhalfdanr: pcmanfm is pretty good | 05:42 |
| ronhalfdanr | do those replace the default one in ubuntu ziroday? | 05:42 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: yes they can | 05:42 |
| ronhalfdanr | let me try one | 05:42 |
| ronhalfdanr | synaptic? | 05:42 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: also can you navigate and view the folders with cd and ls | 05:42 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: yes they are in the repos | 05:43 |
| moDumass | onop, im pastebinning it | 05:43 |
| ronhalfdanr | huh ziroday? cd? | 05:43 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: open up a terminal, type cd <directoryname> press enter and type in ls | 05:43 |
| unop | moDumass, you might want to review your /var/log/Xorg.0.log too - it is usually an indicator to misconfiguration, unsupported options, etc | 05:44 |
| moDumass | onop, http://pastebin.com/da045002 | 05:44 |
| ronhalfdanr | yeah I can do that ziroday but it isn't a long term option | 05:44 |
| legend2440 | ronhalfdanr: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease | 05:44 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: was just checking something, have you looked at alternatve file managers? | 05:44 |
| murlidhar | ronhalfdanr: the default fine manager can be replaced by update-alternatives command | 05:45 |
| ronhalfdanr | just looking now ziroday, first I'v eheard of them | 05:45 |
| murlidhar | am not sure how can it exactly be done though . anyone ? | 05:45 |
| ronhalfdanr | pcmanfm orpcmanfm-nohal? | 05:45 |
| murlidhar | pcmanfm | 05:45 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: the normal one | 05:45 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok, sec | 05:45 |
| moDumass | unop, http://pastebin.com/da045002 yeh that log is 1900 lines and i dont really know what im lookin for | 05:46 |
| moDumass | unop, thanks for helping btw | 05:46 |
| moDumass | unop, my machine just started beeping crazily, had to close term | 05:47 |
| unop | moDumass, errors in the log file usually begin with something like (EE) - so searching for this term will take you to them | 05:47 |
| ronhalfdanr | pcmanfm works................. | 05:47 |
| moDumass | and also dont have compiz fusion anymore | 05:47 |
| moDumass | arghh | 05:47 |
| ronhalfdanr | thanks ziroday | 05:48 |
| Omeil | hi my sourcelist got saved over by mistake and its blank can someone show me a good completed source list? | 05:48 |
| Omeil | so i can copy across plz | 05:48 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: no problem, however it is very odd that nautilus does that. If you want I can try troubleshoot it further with you | 05:48 |
| esac | Omeil, hardy, intrepid ? | 05:48 |
| maxxist | OMG!!!!! 64bit is perfect with the restricted-extras installed!!! so happy | 05:48 |

| rokra | Hello | 05:50 |

| legend2440 | ronhalfdanr: http://prash-babu.blogspot.com/2008/03/nautilus-freezes-while-browsing-through.html | 05:52 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: can you open a terminal and type in nautilus and then navigate to the folders which freezes it | 05:52 |
| ziroday | DaveCave: well there goes my idea :) | 05:52 |
| DaveCave | lol | 05:52 |
| moDumass | unop, there are no (EE)`s other than the ones describing what (EE) means | 05:52 |
| rokra | someone knows how to get a device connected via a console cable connected to a converter USB/COM? | 05:52 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: does anything get outputted in the terminal? | 05:53 |
| unop | moDumass, ok, how about warnings then? they begin with (WW) | 05:53 |
| ronhalfdanr | ziroday: nautilus freezes as soon as I try to open those folders (root, ron, home) | 05:53 |
| ronhalfdanr | that's through terminal or alt-f2 or the button on the toolbar of the desktop | 05:53 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: okay, but you opened nautilus through the terminal right? | 05:54 |
| xorlim | I have problems with encryption. | 05:54 |
| ronhalfdanr | yes ziroday | 05:54 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: okay, and when you navigated to those folders and nautilus freezes up is anything outputed to the terminal? | 05:54 |
| ronhalfdanr | no ziroday | 05:54 |
| xorlim | my Private folder does not show on my desktop anymore, it's supposed to be encrypted. I am not sure if it is anymore. It does show normally in my Home folder (directory) though. | 05:54 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: hmm okay | 05:54 |
| arden0 | hello? | 05:54 |
| xorlim | should I re-install encryption? | 05:54 |
| ronhalfdanr | system montior does show one core goes to 100% usage and the process related to it is xorg | 05:55 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: try running nautilus --check | 05:55 |

| === aron is now known as Aron | ||
| ronhalfdanr | has been like this through 3 fresh installs of 8.04 hardy but worse, then upgraded to 8.1 and I can at least force quit but still freezes, even did a fresh install today | 05:59 |
| ziroday | grizlo42: yep | 05:59 |
| grizlo42 | ziroday: thanks | 05:59 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: well I have no clue, but that is really really odd | 05:59 |
| Jakob_the_liar | can someone help me with firefox, i have it using mplayer plugin to open media and it doesnt | 05:59 |
| ziroday | grizlo42: then you can delete your old user | 05:59 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and it doesnt even ask me to save pdfs | 05:59 |
| Jakob_the_liar | and i cant install any add ons for some reason | 06:00 |
| unop | moDumass, ok, you're right, nothing significant here - do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 06:00 |
| ronhalfdanr | yes it is ziroday, really odd that is.............and two other people on the forum have the same problem, it's not tied to CPU as one is intel dual core and the other two are AMD dual core..............what's really odd is CPU usage on one core goes to 100% | 06:00 |
| grizlo42 | ziroday: no i mean copy the config files from the new user over the old user's | 06:01 |

| grizlo42 | hmmm | 06:01 |
| grizlo42 | ok | 06:01 |
| ziroday | ronhalfdanr: that is really strange, I have no idea sorry and for a workaround just use pcmanfm or thunar | 06:01 |
| Curtis | where can i get a good 24 inch monitor? | 06:01 |
| ceap80 | and the last line that resemble what is on the wiki is: acpi ACPI0003:00: hash matches | 06:02 |

| psicobra | hi all is any one able to help with my sound card i am trying to get it to output 5.1 | 06:02 |

| qstnn | Since I have upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 my laptop doesn't shutdown, I get no error messages the GUI just gets stuck at the part where the progress bar empties as the computer shuts down. I have to manually power it off. If I press ctrl-alt-f1, I get the login prompt but my keypresses are not registered in that 'stuck' state. If i then, press ctrl-alt-f7 I don't see any message with 'warning' or 'error' next to it. | 06:03 |

| joot | I have just installed 8.10 I am getting a black screen after log on. Any one help with this please?? | 06:24 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Any ideas why Rhythmbox might be able to transfer files to but not from a Creative ZEN? | 06:25 |
| new3 | if I have an ubuntu inside a virtual machine,is it desirable to install the virtual kernel and use that instead ? | 06:25 |
| joot | zcat[1]: you at the keys zcat? | 06:25 |
| zcat[1] | yes | 06:26 |
| ziroday | new3: if you want speed increases then yes, you should use JeOS which is designed as a virtual appliance | 06:26 |
| new3 | ziroday: cool thanks | 06:26 |
| zcat[1] | john, I assume? | 06:26 |
| DigitalFiz | are there known issues with pulseaudio in 8.10? | 06:26 |
| ziroday | DigitalFiz: why, whats wrong? | 06:26 |
| joot | zcat[1]: Please have a look at my query re 8.10 | 06:27 |
| DigitalFiz | i have to keep restarting the pulseaudio deamon | 06:27 |
| corinth | ziroday, atheros 5007 or something like that | 06:27 |
| corinth | maybe ar5007 | 06:27 |
| ziroday | corinth: did you dry the atheros driver? | 06:27 |
| DigitalFiz | before 8.10 i had no issues | 06:27 |
| zcat[1] | joot: hmmmm.. this is why I decided to stay with 8.04 for a while ;) | 06:27 |
| corinth | The included one? Yeah, doesn't pick anything up. | 06:27 |
| ziroday | DigitalFiz: why do you have to restart it? | 06:27 |
| ronhalfdanr | bug reported ziroday, thanks for the help! | 06:27 |
| ziroday | corinth: nope, theres another one in the backports, one sec | 06:27 |
| DigitalFiz | ziroday, programs cant connect to it | 06:27 |
| zcat[1] | joot: I assume the same amchine was ok with hardy? | 06:28 |
| joot | zcat[1]: So it is a known problem?? | 06:28 |
| joot | zcat[1]: yes and installed several puppy as a trial before 8.10 mess | 06:28 |
| ziroday | !sound | DigitalFiz did you try the things in here? | 06:28 |
| ubottu | DigitalFiz did you try the things in here?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 06:28 |
| zcat[1] | joot: not particularly .. just that ubuntu releases usually have a few hairs and I decided I might wait a bit. I just downloaded 8.10 today and was going to hev a play with it soon | 06:28 |
| DigitalFiz | ziroday, sound stops working and when i do tests from system -> preferences -> sound it says it cant connect | 06:28 |
| zcat[1] | joot: what video card does the machine have? | 06:29 |
| ziroday | corinth: read http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Atheros%20ath5k%20wireless%20driver%20not%20enabled%20by%20default | 06:29 |
| ziroday | DigitalFiz: are you a member of the pulseaudio groups? | 06:29 |
| joot | zcat[1]: yummmy intel shared memory | 06:30 |
| DigitalFiz | ziroday, nope :( | 06:30 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Couple of quick questions, 1) could I get some help with transferring files from my creative ZEN (transferring to works fine), and 2) is there any fix for the boot splash under 8.10 yet? | 06:30 |
| zcat[1] | joot: hmmmm.. so it's probably trying to start compiz already. You say black screen only after you log in? | 06:30 |
| ziroday | DigitalFiz: well could you add yourself and logout and in :) | 06:30 |
| corinth | ziroday, I'll try that, thanks. Get back to you soon. | 06:30 |
| droopsta915 | whats a good virus protecter for ubuntu? | 06:31 |
| ziroday | corinth: make sure you remove the ndiswrapper drivers first and do a restart | 06:31 |
| ziroday | !virus | droopsta915 | 06:31 |
| ubottu | droopsta915: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 06:31 |
| corinth | Just did that. | 06:31 |
| DigitalFiz | ziroday, oh i thought you ment like the mailing list group or something hehe | 06:31 |
| ziroday | DigitalFiz: read the groups section in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | 06:31 |
| joot | zcat[1]: yes get the login signe then intro music then black screen with a little hd activety then freeze | 06:31 |
| droopsta915 | how do I get my firewall working? | 06:31 |
| i8860054_ | how can I start a program that goes into full screen automatically into a windowed version? | 06:31 |
| ziroday | droopsta915: as in how to configure it? | 06:32 |
| droopsta915 | yes | 06:32 |
| ziroday | droopsta915: well you don't really need one but if you insist | 06:32 |
| joot | zcat[1]: is there a no 3d boot option?? | 06:32 |
| droopsta915 | i know i dont get virus, but i want to be secure in every way. | 06:32 |
| zcat[1] | joot: unfortunately I have no idea ... I'd guess it has something to do with compiz and someone here might know what to do about it | 06:33 |
| droopsta915 | ziroday: u dont protect your systen at all? | 06:33 |
| ziroday | droopsta915: type in man ufw to learn how to configure it, you might also want to look at !firewall | 06:33 |
| joot | zcat[1]: OK I will wait a while and repeat the q... | 06:33 |

| nat2610 | to install ubuntu on a recent intel pc, should I chosse amd64 or intel 32 ? | 06:34 |
| zcat[1] | nat2610: try amd64, if it tells you it's not then i386 will work | 06:35 |
| nat2610 | thks | 06:35 |
| zcat[1] | most recent machines are 64 tho | 06:35 |
| i8860054_ | how can I start a program that goes into full screen automatically into a windowed version? | 06:36 |
| zcat[1] | I think they call it ia64 now.. and isn't the only one with a 64 bit chip any more | 06:36 |
| zcat[1] | *AMD | 06:36 |
| zcat[1] | i8860054_: depends on the program, generally there will be a config option to run in a window | 06:37 |
| sparrow-jack | whats the benefits in linux using 64 bit for programming? | 06:37 |
| sparrow-jack | if i use 64bit, then use virtual box should it run XP w/o problems? | 06:37 |
| zcat[1] | sparrow-jack: bragging rights. I don't think gcc optimises that well for it so there's not that much of a performance difference. You can address more ram and stuff though | 06:38 |
| maxxist | sparrow-jack I am using 64bit ubuntu and virtualbox with windoze under it. np | 06:38 |
| zcat[1] | sparrow-jack: same here, no issues at all | 06:38 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Couple of quick questions, 1) could I get some help with transferring files from my creative ZEN (transferring to works fine), and 2) is there any fix for the boot splash under 8.10 yet? | 06:38 |
| corinth | ziroday, Is it the 5xxx Atheros one? | 06:39 |
| maxxist | sparrow-jack I suggest if you install 64 bit ubuntu. install ubuntu-restricted-extras. it will install 32 bit libraries as well. this might be very beneficial if you are programming. I am not a programmer though, just a guess. | 06:39 |
| sparrow-jack | so if ur rig only limits 2GIG of RAM, 64bit wont be any, like... advantage? | 06:39 |
| maxxist | sparrow-jack i am told no advantage. but i find it runs a little faster. | 06:40 |

| maxxist | nemnoch which apps you having problems with | 06:42 |
| ziroday | nemnoch: you can virtualise windows for non graphic intensive apps | 06:42 |
| Flannel | nemnoch: which problem is that? | 06:42 |
| corinth | ziroday, After installing and rebooting. Before the install, that driver wasn't here. | 06:42 |
| nemnoch | I just started using Ubuntu about 3 days go :P | 06:42 |
| nemnoch | true... | 06:42 |
| nemnoch | I am pretty vmware-savy | 06:42 |
| sparrow-jack | thanks.. | 06:42 |

| Noxilent1cus | i see i have a native partition for it maxxist i like the speed better and I don't feel like buying Leopard and I don't own a dual layer dvd burner to priate it | 06:44 |
| Flannel | nemnoch: Have you tried simply resolving the errors? Have you checked winehq's compatability DB? (also, #winehq can help a bunch) | 06:44 |
| maxxist | Noxilentlcus hehe external HD? you can pirate it that way too. | 06:44 |

| maxxist | Noxilentlcus i tried a couple of times to run ubuntu on my mbp but i didnt like the way the trackpad felt. and two finger clicks didnt work. | 06:45 |
| Noxilenticus | Have you had any problems with the network manager in vitual box for your ubuntu distro maxxist ? | 06:46 |
| corinth | IndyGunFreak, No, how do I enable that? | 06:46 |
| nemnoch | flannel: thanks for the info i will check it out. | 06:46 |
| mindframe | ziroday, you still here? sorry for delayed response. compiz is disabled(it wont even let me enable it), nvidia 8600 GTS | 06:46 |
| corinth | ziroday, Nope, I can't. The laptop doesn't have internet, I'm on my desktop. | 06:46 |
| Noxilenticus | yeah the trackpad doesn't work so hot on different OS's for the macbook pro | 06:46 |
| ziroday | mindframe: have you installed the graphics drivers? | 06:46 |
| mindframe | yes | 06:46 |
| maxxist | Noxilentlcus no but i did have problems with it on my normal x86 machines. network manager is borked me thinks. | 06:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | corinth: can you not hook it up via ethernet cable for 10min? | 06:46 |
| raevol | is there any reason why i would have multiple gnome-keyring-daemon processes running right after logging in? or is that a session garf? | 06:47 |
| spolvid | IndyGunFreak: Right now my main problems are that the installer can't see my external drives if I go into a live session for some reason, so in order to install, I need to start it up from the splash screen, and once it does install, it dies when it tries to install GRUB. | 06:47 |
| ziroday | corinth: okay, can you just look for the line that has atheros in it and give us the model number please | 06:47 |
| Noxilenticus | for 8.10 it is most definatly, but 8.04 i don't know i can't set my wirless IP address statically | 06:47 |
| Noxilenticus | I can only connect to my WPA network if it is in roaming mode | 06:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | spolvid: well, yeah, thats what its supposed to do. | 06:47 |
| corinth | IndyGunFreak, Nope. I don't have access to the router. One sec, ziroday. | 06:47 |
| mindframe | ziroday, this is 64bit ubuntu and im using two 1680x1050 monitors in xinerama | 06:47 |
| spolvid | IndyGunFreak: So what can I do? | 06:47 |
| mindframe | surely my video card can handle this configuration? | 06:47 |
| ziroday | mindframe: ah, can you just try one monitor and see if compiz works? | 06:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | spolvid: are you trying to install to an external drive? | 06:48 |
| NeuroSyn | I have a silly question, I'm looking at gnome-look.org, and I'm wondering, what exactly are the items under "Appearance Preferences" ? GDM themes? Colour Schemes? what? | 06:48 |
| spolvid | IndyGunFreak: Yeah. | 06:48 |
| mindframe | ziroday, err i have no desire to use compiz honestly | 06:48 |
| maxxist | I found network manager in 8.10 was giving new numbers to my static IP information, and breaking my network. after i got a few updates done to the machine it seemed to work better. | 06:48 |
| corinth | ziroday, AR242x | 06:48 |
| mindframe | but ill check | 06:48 |
| raevol | is there any reason why i would have multiple gnome-keyring-daemon processes running right after logging in? or is that a session garf? | 06:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | spolvid: well, thats kinda silly, but it will require internet access. | 06:48 |
| ziroday | mindframe: I know from my own experience with an 8800GTS that dual monitors at 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 can cause massive graphical slowdowns | 06:48 |

| ziroday | corinth: minute please | 06:48 |
| spolvid | IndyGunFreak: OK.... | 06:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | corinth: there's a lot of threads on ubuntuforums to get that device working, i have it and it works fine... | 06:48 |

| Noxilenticus | i'm waiting for them to completely fix it maxxist we have 802.1x @ our school for wireless and it doesn't download the certificate correctly or anything it's in bad shape atm | 06:49 |
| maxxist | Noxilenticus i cant imagine how fun wpa is to work with in network manager right now. | 06:49 |
| Flannel | helpy: Yep. | 06:49 |
| mindframe | ahh wow i guess thats my prob ziroday ... i was just looking at newegg for new gfx card | 06:49 |
| helpy | session starts in 10 minutes and my audio playback won't work | 06:49 |
| ziroday | mindframe: does it happen with only one monitor? | 06:49 |
| mindframe | ziroday, it didnt seem nearly this slow in hardy though.,.. maybe im imagining | 06:49 |
| mindframe | let me check | 06:49 |
| Noxilenticus | i can't do like anything natively o n this laptop with wireless in ubuntu maxxist the drivers just suck | 06:50 |
| maxxist | Noxilenticus i can honestly say however ubuntu runs great under virtualbox on osx. | 06:50 |
| ziroday | corinth: well the drivers in the package should definitly support your card, does it appear in ifconfig -a? | 06:50 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | helpy, have you checked the sound capture device preferences? | 06:50 |
| maxxist | Noxilenticus osx networking is just a week bit more polished. | 06:50 |
| Noxilenticus | i can't put it in permiscuous mode to do airodumps maxxist or anything | 06:50 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | *sound playback | 06:50 |
| raevol | is there any reason why i would have multiple gnome-keyring-daemon processes running right after logging in? or is that a session garf? | 06:50 |
| helpy | what is there to check ? | 06:50 |
| helpy | sound works perfect in audacity. my mic works | 06:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | ziroday: actually, no they don't... | 06:50 |
| helpy | but online it doesnt. | 06:50 |
| maxxist | Noxilenticus which apps you using for doing that? | 06:51 |
| helpy | i can't use skype or online conferencing | 06:51 |
| sparrow-jack | helpy, u should prepair a day before the session day. sorry mic problem have to be trial an error configurations, try your lack in setting ifferent configs.. | 06:51 |
| ziroday | IndyGunFreak: where do you see that? | 06:51 |
| corinth | ziroday, No, I don't see it there. | 06:51 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | helpy: whether it's using ALSA, OSS, Pulseaudio, etc | 06:51 |

| Noxilenticus | yeah i do have a tiger partition on this machine but I hate compiling packages and fink or w/e package manager for the mac didn't compile some packages I needed for OSx maxxist | 06:51 |
| ziroday | corinth: do you see ath5k or something similar in lsmod? | 06:51 |

| Noxilenticus | for doing what maxxist ? | 06:51 |
| helpy | i think its alsa | 06:51 |
| Noxilenticus | aircrack-ng maxxist ? | 06:51 |

| === nemnoch is now known as nemnoch-away | ||

| helpy | HDA Intel ALsa mixer | 06:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | spolvid: no, you're trying to install to an external hard drive, thats why you're getting grub failures, install to an internal drive and dual boot, "like a normal person" | 06:52 |
| maxxist | Noxilenticus yeah for air cracking... | 06:52 |
| corinth | ziroday, Nope. Think that has something to do with it being "activated but not currently in use"? | 06:52 |
| Noxilenticus | yeah i just used aircrack-ng maxxist | 06:53 |
| spolvid | IndyGunFreak: My internal drive doesn't have enough room though. | 06:53 |
| ziroday | corinth: I am not sure quite what that means, sorry | 06:53 |
| maxxist | ahhh | 06:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | spolvid: well, thus the issue... | 06:53 |
| maxxist | Noxilenticus is that a mac app? | 06:53 |

| spolvid | IndyGunFreak: Well, there was a website that had instructions on how to do it, but it said to start a shell when the installer failed, which I can't do unless I go into the CD live session, which again, I can't do because my external drives don't show up. | 06:56 |
| corinth | Well, I can always boot to windows to download something if I need to, IndyGunFreak . | 06:56 |
| helpy | NOTHING is muted. its just that it won't save it | 06:57 |

| NeuroSyn | outbackwifi, I see what you're talking about, I'm using Ibex, is there a way to add icons to that menu there? | 07:04 |
| Josesordo | How to install driver for ATI RAdeon HD 2600 in ubuntu 8.04?? | 07:04 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: i get this There was an error creating the folder "John_Legend-Evolver-(Deluxe_Edition)-2008 " details invalid filename | 07:04 |
| outbackwifi | bzaks: yes, connect the dhcp server to the lan port instead of the internet port of the router | 07:04 |

| joot | I have just installed 8.10 I am getting a black screen after log on. Any one help with this please?? | 07:05 |
| NeuroSyn | outbackwifi, oh well, thanks anyway | 07:05 |
| bzaks | outbackwifi: so then if I run the DHCP Server, will I still have the protection of NAT provided by the Router? | 07:05 |
| maxxist | ganondorf try renaming the file to a smaller filename. maybe the psp doesnt support such large file names | 07:05 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: i shortened the name and i tried with another folder i moved it across and it copied and when i renamed it after and tried again it would not | 07:05 |
| maxxist | hmm | 07:05 |
| tpro | off a fresh install, i'm getting errors on my sr0 device which it says is a dvd rom, but /dev/scd0 is mounted and works w/out problems? are sr0 and scd0 different? (i only have 1 dvd drive) | 07:05 |
| outbackwifi | bzaks: no, the nat will be done by your dsl/cable modem | 07:05 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Any ideas as to why files have problems going from my ZEN to my laptop, but not the other way around? | 07:05 |
| maxxist | ganondorf how are you copying the files? over usb with the psp plugged in? | 07:06 |
| spolvid | IndyGunFreak: How much space should I give a Ubuntu partition? | 07:06 |
| sken | hello ubu guys | 07:06 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: the zen being a music player? | 07:06 |
| legend2440 | Josesordo: open system>Administration>hardware drivers is there a box there to enable the ati drivers? | 07:06 |
| outbackwifi | !hi | sken | 07:06 |
| ubottu | sken: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 07:06 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: no through my pro duo port in my printer | 07:06 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | You'd be right outbackwifi | 07:06 |
| sken | does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer | 07:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | spolvid: it depends on what all you plan to do with it... i would think at least 10gigs so you can install some things, etc. | 07:07 |
| bzaks | outbackwifi: So the dhcp server is just like any other computer on the network. The modem usually gives the router an IP, now where does that IP go? | 07:07 |
| maxxist | ganondorf can try other files copying to the card? like a small txt file or something... | 07:07 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: what are you using to send files to the zen; ive found amarok & rhythmbox work great | 07:07 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: i tired with another folder moved it it copied, renamed it and it would not copy | 07:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | spolvid: i would make sure you have a backup befoer you do any partitioning, etc. | 07:07 |
| === soreau_ is now known as soreau | ||
| spolvid | IndyGunFreak: I know. | 07:08 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: other files are copying but once they get renamed or their name is edited in any way i get a error | 07:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok | 07:08 |
| outbackwifi | bzaks: it doesnt matter cos the router will now act as an ap (access point) which dont need ip addresses for anything other than maintenance | 07:08 |
| Josesordo | legend2440: yes, is downloading a xorg file | 07:08 |
| kostja | just installed 8.10 64 bit and my network(wireless) does freeze all ten minute | 07:08 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi, using rhythmbox, but it just refuses to transfer files from the zen, but has no problems transferring it to the zen | 07:08 |
| kostja | i have installed 8.10 64 bit and my network connection does freeze all ca. 5 minute | 07:08 |
| maxxist | ganondorf what is the purpose of renaming the files? maybe rename them before copying them over???? | 07:09 |
| sken | does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer? | 07:09 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: what might those errors be? | 07:09 |
| === mohamed is now known as Guest98835 | ||
| maxxist | kostja i had lots of problems earlier today with a new install of 8.10 and my network. | 07:09 |
| Ganandorf | some of the artist are wrong for whats contained inside the folder and thats the prob once i rename them before copying i can't get them to copy | 07:09 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi: it just doesnt transfer | 07:09 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi I set it to transfer, it begins the process, but nothin goes to my computer | 07:10 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: does the zen show up as a usb storage device in /media ? | 07:10 |
| maxxist | kostja i was able to finally get it to do a kernel update and it seemed to fix the network problems. | 07:10 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Nope | 07:10 |
| bzaks | outbackwifi: yes, but who is getting that external IP that the router usually gets? If the modem is plugged in a lan port, won't it try to give every computer on the net an address? | 07:10 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: what could be the prob | 07:11 |
| kostja | maxxist, thanks, how can get this update now, i have to work:( | 07:11 |
| redfish | the router would still get it | 07:11 |
| maxxist | ganondorf i think its your method. i am guessin at thispoint | 07:11 |
| outbackwifi | bzaks: oh i see, you mean that the modem is in bridged mode? | 07:11 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi, doesnt show up under media | 07:11 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: i am using drag and drop i tried copy and paste nothing | 07:12 |
| maxxist | ganondorf manually one at a time? | 07:12 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: can you pastebin the last few lines of your dmesg after you plugin your zen? | 07:12 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: yep | 07:12 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | dmesg? | 07:12 |
| maxxist | kostja i was able to let it sit for a long time and it finally was able to download the update... | 07:12 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: type dmesg in a terminal | 07:12 |
| bzaks | outbackwifi: Well, I'm not sure what mode its in, but the router has 2 IPs, an external IP and an internal IP. The external is what the world sees, and the internal is what all of my computers see. The external IP is set via my ISP through the modem. Right now, the internal is set up through the dhcp server in the modem. | 07:13 |
| outbackwifi | bzaks: in that case, you have two options; 1) configure the modem as a router (if its capable) 2) disable dhcp server on modem and let the router be as it was | 07:13 |
| bzaks | outbackwifi: I'm not sure I can do that, I'm pretty sure that Comcast has their modems locked down pretty tight | 07:14 |
| outbackwifi | bzaks: if the modem has 2 ips, then it is a router too; so connect the lan side of the modem to one of the lan ports of your wireless router and disable dhcp on that | 07:14 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69120/ | 07:14 |
| maxxist | ganondorf can u try using the mem stick in the psp and plug the psp in to do the file management? possibly something wrong with the way your printer is handling the files???? | 07:14 |
| outbackwifi | bzaks: all the machines on the lan side will now gett their ips from the modem instead of the wireless router | 07:15 |
| sao3 | hi all | 07:15 |
| kostja | maxxist, where can i find this update? | 07:15 |
| maxxist | kostja are you using static IPS? | 07:15 |
| Ganandorf | maxxist: hmm don't have a usb cord for it i guess i will have to get it from my friend again and not change the name | 07:15 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: the device hadnt settled down. can you paste some more please? | 07:15 |
| maxxist | ganondorf sorry bro. i dont know what else it could be at this point. | 07:16 |
| bzaks | screw it, I'll just do it the way I think should work. | 07:16 |
| redfish | bzaks, your modem is not giving the router the internal address. | 07:16 |
| kostja | no a have i router for my laptop | 07:16 |
| maxxist | kostja is your network dhcp or static? | 07:16 |
| redfish | just disable the DHCP server in the Linksys router | 07:16 |
| sken | does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer | 07:17 |
| bzaks | redfish: but do I connect the modem to the internet port still and let the router be referenced as the main gateway through dhcp? | 07:17 |
| redfish | plug the modem to the WAN port of the router, you computers to the LAN port, and your DHCP server to a LAN port | 07:17 |
| |neon| | i'm having a strange problem, i can change my desktop settings and everything works fine, but once i reboot the settings are lost everytime, i tried session manager but not luck, any suggestions? | 07:18 |
| maxxist | kostja i was just wondering. cause i run static ip's on my network. thought it might be a problem. I found the network manager in 8.10 to be a little bit broken. it was changing numbers i had manually entered and saved. after i would go back in they were completely different. | 07:18 |
| redfish | why not use the Linksys' built in DHCP server? | 07:18 |
| Socapex_2K | Hello, Just for record. I've just upgraded to 8.10. Before I was having trouble with sound. I couldn't hear anything. Now everything is fine (at least on initial test of rythm box). My edirol ua-5 is working on OSS. | 07:18 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69121/ | 07:18 |
| bzaks | redfish: Because I want to set up a name server as well as run PXEBoot stuff. | 07:18 |

| Socapex_2K | rock on ubuntu, hehe | 07:19 |
| kostja | i will try to change to static ip or complete without networkmanager | 07:20 |
| Brucee | how do i find out what is it on ubuntu server? | 07:20 |
| joot | I have just installed 8.10 I am getting a black screen after log on. Any one help with this please?? The only thing that works is terminal emulator. | 07:20 |
| maxxist | kostja i was using 64bit also when having these problems. you can download .debs manually for the newer kernel.. but its not fun.. hehe | 07:20 |
| maxxist | joot do you have multiple monitors? | 07:20 |
| kostja | maxxist where can i find this debs? | 07:20 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: hmm your zen isnt detected and there are a whole bunch of i/o errors on sr0 | 07:20 |
| maxxist | kostja at ubuntu site. you can find the updates there... | 07:21 |
| Socapex_2K | joot: do you have ati card? | 07:21 |
| joot | maxxist: No but I have an intel shred memory which may be part of the prob | 07:21 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi, Well rythmbox recognizes it, as do most other processes, I just cant transfer files off it. | 07:21 |
| kostja | maxxist, thank you so mauch, i hope it will solve my problem | 07:21 |
| maxxist | joot hmm. should not be. intel is well supported. | 07:22 |
| Omeil | !dhcp3 | 07:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcp3 | 07:22 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | I can transfer files onto it without incident though outbackwifi | 07:22 |
| maxxist | kostja hope so too man | 07:22 |
| joot | Socapex_2K; Intel shared | 07:22 |
| Omeil | !dhcp | 07:22 |
| ubottu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 07:22 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: normally when you try to send from the device to the pc, these devices look for some kind of a handshake from a client program | 07:22 |
| joot | Maxxist: seems OK till logon then just locks up with a black screen | 07:23 |
| NeuroSyn | Is there a way to remove a partition from the gnome-mount thing? So that it doesn't show up in places, and what not? | 07:23 |
| kostja | maxxist, which version of kernel is it? | 07:23 |
| Socapex_2K | joot: Can't help, sorry :) | 07:23 |

| maxxist | kostja i think it ends with a 7 | 07:24 |
| ziroday | GodfatherofEire1: have you tried using mtpfs? | 07:24 |
| maxxist | kostja i think its 2.6.27-7 | 07:24 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: apparently its an MTP device so wont show up as usb mass storage. | 07:25 |
| Socapex_2K | NeuroSyn: What do you want to achieve. Specifically | 07:25 |
| kostja | 2.6.27-7-generic <- this i my version | 07:25 |
| maxxist | kostja i think its 2.6.27-7 make sure you get 64bit | 07:25 |
| Brucee | is there a command to find out what time is it on a server? | 07:25 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | ziroday, the last time I did that I had more errors than my old windows computer | 07:25 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: you need to use Kzenexplorer | 07:25 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: this might help --> http://backports.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=216191 | 07:25 |
| maxxist | joot you say you have cli? | 07:25 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi: thats just it: that's the one program that doesnt recognize it | 07:25 |
| NeuroSyn | Socapex_2K, well, if I look under my places menu, there's a partition showing that it will ask me to mount if I click on it, I hope to achieve the partition NOT being listed on places, and elsewhere. | 07:25 |

| kelli | is there any way to lock the penal on the screan allthe time? | 07:34 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | ziroday, yeah, there were entire blocks of files that would cause it to shut down | 07:34 |
| maxxist | kostja i know your net is shutting down but can you try synaptic for the update? you may get lucky and it might grab those files before it shuts down on you. | 07:34 |
| === name_name_ is now known as name_name | ||
| ziroday | ddd: you need to add this repo to your /etc/apt/soruces.list | 07:35 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | Ziroday, it just became impractical pretty quick | 07:35 |
| nicholaspaul | outbackwifi: oh, i'm just restarting... | 07:35 |
| maxxist | joot which version did you install on it? | 07:35 |
| outbackwifi | nicholaspaul: oh ok | 07:35 |
| nicholaspaul | :) | 07:35 |
| ziroday | GodfatherofEire1: libmtp is a buggy mess | 07:35 |
| Omeil | bzaks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/69128/ | 07:35 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | ziroday, ha, yeah, i know | 07:35 |
| outbackwifi | GodfatherofEire1: anything with a Microsoft tag is buggy | 07:35 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | outbackwifi: agreed | 07:36 |
| bzaks | What do you think Omeil? | 07:36 |
| joot | Maxxist: 386 arch 8.10 release | 07:36 |
| reverendnathan | bzaks: /dev/sda1 100790004 95618800 51292 100% / | 07:36 |
| ziroday | GodfatherofEire1: well thats all I can recommend, sorry, you might want to mail the libmtp authors and see if the project is still even near alive | 07:36 |
| maxxist | joot desktop or alternate? | 07:36 |
| bzaks | rev-nathan: what about du -h ? | 07:36 |
| reverendnathan | Flannel: Nothing over 385kb | 07:36 |
| corinth | IndyGunFreak, ziroday, works great. Thanks. :) | 07:36 |
| Omeil | bzaks, have to declare subnet in the conf? | 07:36 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | ziroday, I'll manage to figure out somethin | 07:36 |
| ddd | ziroday: can you paste me the name of the repo or the line to add? | 07:36 |
| reverendnathan | outbackwifi: nah, nothin exceeding 300mb at lease. | 07:36 |
| ziroday | corinth: 32bit and the intrepid backports module? | 07:36 |
| computer_ | how come when i click Applications the menu opens while open i try to lower the volume but does not work. why do i have to minimize the menu in order to for the volume to work? | 07:37 |
| joot | Maxxist: desktop the one with the live option. | 07:37 |
| tomp | anyone gotten vmware server 2 to run under hardy? | 07:37 |
| maxxist | joot when you booted the live cd did you get a desktop? | 07:37 |
| Flannel | reverendnathan: How about df -h | 07:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | corinth: good to hear... i figured it would work fine w/ 32bit. | 07:37 |
| bzaks | Omeil: correct. You also need to kill the other DHCP server. | 07:37 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: and df -h shows 100% on root partition? | 07:37 |
| corinth | ziroday, Yup. | 07:37 |
| ziroday | ddd: certaintly, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main | 07:37 |
| ziroday | corinth: awesome! | 07:37 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | ziroday Amarok worked in 8.04, but this is 8.10, so worst comes to worst, I put it on those comps, and use rsync to transfer | 07:37 |
| maxxist | joot no errors on install? | 07:37 |
| ddd | how to download package foo from a repo to a .deb file so I can take it to a no-network system? | 07:38 |
| joot | Maxxist: No desktop on live so I went for the install instead | 07:38 |
| computer_ | why can't i hear the other video player's volume while i have a youtube video at the same time? | 07:38 |
| ziroday | ddd: can you attach a ethernet cable briefly? | 07:38 |
| joot | Maxxist: I saw no errors I watched the install | 07:38 |
| kostja | maxxist, okay, generic is a 64 bit kernel for me | 07:38 |
| ddd | ziroday: no :/ | 07:38 |
| amdpox | ddd, there's an apt command to save the deb, lemme have a look | 07:39 |
| reverendnathan | outbackwifi: yes | 07:39 |
| ziroday | ddd: err, well then you will have to download all the files listed on https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive and install them | 07:39 |
| ddd | or, ziroday: can I take an 8.10 install CD and use it to upgrade my 8.04 to 8.10 without using network? | 07:39 |
| ziroday | ddd: is the cd an alternate cd or a desktop cd? | 07:39 |
| reverendnathan | Flannel: /dev/sda1 97G 92G 50M 100% / | 07:39 |
| nicholaspaul | outbackwifi ziroday There, a restart fixed it ! Cheers! | 07:39 |
| joot | Maxxist: The same problem occurs with the live option gets to welcome then dies | 07:40 |
| maxxist | joot | 07:40 |
| maxxist | sorry | 07:40 |
| maxxist | joot try out this from command line. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org | 07:40 |
| amph3t4m1n3 | hi all, i just installed an ftp server on my server with a new ftp user who's home is the domain i want it to be able to access, login works, but i get permission denied on file transfers.. somone care to steer me in the right direction pls? | 07:41 |
| Flannel | reverendnathan: That takes talent. And nothing in / is abnormally large? | 07:41 |
| maxxist | joot then if no error do a reboot | 07:41 |
| joot | Maxxist: OK I need to change to a different machine the 8.10 is not online | 07:41 |
| maxxist | joot you know the command for reboot is restart right... | 07:42 |
| redfish | nicholaspaul: coulda typed sudo pkill apt | 07:42 |
| xavieran | hi | 07:42 |
| redfish | nicholaspaul: guess you already restarted when i sent that msg | 07:42 |
| ddd | ziroday: I can download either. which to get? | 07:43 |
| xavieran | When I log in to ubuntu I get this error message, and the login fails: mkdtemp failed: permission denied | 07:43 |
| ziroday | ddd: you need the alternate cd if you want to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10 using a cd | 07:43 |
| nicholaspaul | redfish: yea i had! Thanks! I'll try to remember for next time. | 07:43 |
| ddd | http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent | 07:45 |
| ddd | ziroday: ^ this one? | 07:45 |
| ziroday | ddd: thats fine | 07:45 |
| ddd | that CD is all that I need to upgrade a non-network box with 8.04 desktop amd64 to 8.10 right? | 07:45 |
| ziroday | ddd: correct | 07:45 |
| ddd | what do I do when I have the cd? | 07:45 |

| napsy_ | Hello. Is it normal that that the amd64 version of ubuntu consumes more RAM then i386 version? | 07:46 |
| xavieran | thank you Lenny_ | 07:46 |
| martin_ | hi | 07:46 |
| reverendnathan | Flannel: Right. I'm having real trouble finding this out since I moved ALL of my media to my other HDD, so this would have to be from some program. Clearing history in my internet didn't do squat, so I assume it's not FF. Anything else notorious for eating up free space? | 07:46 |
| computer_ | how do i set my sound settings back to its original state? | 07:46 |
| xavieran | *legend2440 (Xchat's autocompletion...) :D | 07:46 |
| sken | does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer | 07:47 |
| legend2440 | xavieran: yes thats what i figured | 07:47 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: go to /var/log/messages and do a du -h inside this directory; pastebin the output of that | 07:47 |
| ziroday | sken: the people in #mplayer are experts | 07:47 |
| sken | thx | 07:47 |
| chandraneelnr | can aybody here help me out with ubuntu 8.10 (Network connection) | 07:48 |
| ziroday | reverendnathan: do you have beagle installed? | 07:48 |
| raheem | chandraneelnr: please be be more specific | 07:48 |
| reverendnathan | ziroday: Only archiving thing I have is SimplifyMedia | 07:49 |
| reverendnathan | outbackwifi: OK hold on | 07:49 |
| ziroday | reverendnathan: ah okay, beagle is notorious for making huge indexing files, there goes my idea :) | 07:49 |
| outbackwifi | !anyone | chandraneelnr | 07:49 |
| ubottu | chandraneelnr: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 07:49 |
| reverendnathan | outbackwifi: not a directory. /var/log totals 5.5Mb | 07:50 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: are you on ubuntu? | 07:50 |
| ddd | if on one box I have 8.04 and 8.10 installent, but no network, is there some clever way to upgrade the 8.04 using files from 8.10 ? | 07:51 |
| maxxist | ddd need network for that | 07:52 |
| reverendnathan | outbackwifi: kubuntu 8.x | 07:52 |
| maxxist | at least a direct network connection between the two computers | 07:52 |
| raz | anyone know how to make hybrid suspend the default on lid close? i can't find the starting point in the acpi scripts, where does it actually call the suspend command? | 07:52 |
| chandraneelnr | well i have a dial-up modem. i have used scanmodem and configured the modem. But when i do sudo wvdial, it shows 'not a valid phone usrname and password'. Although the usrname etc. work well in windows and 8.04 but cannot do it in 8.10 | 07:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | ddd: if you have the alternate install CD, i believe you can upgrade from it. | 07:53 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: yours is the first ubuntu that didnt have the /var/log/ as a directory :) | 07:53 |
| joot | Maxxist: Yes for restart.. error /usr/bin/dpkg reconfigure xserver_org not installed... If I apt get install I get message that latest version is intalled | 07:53 |
| reverendnathan | outbackwifi: /var/log is there, /var/log/messages/ is not one. | 07:54 |
| maxxist | joot your install is borked. you need to reinstall. | 07:54 |
| maxxist | joot might i suggest downloading the install disc again. | 07:55 |
| chandraneelnr | in 8.04 there is an option for network configuration where one is supposed to enter details such as target number, username, password but no such option exits in 8.10 | 07:55 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: oh ok my bad (didnt realize that i had asked you to cd to /var/log/messages) | 07:55 |
| maxxist | joot i always suggest the alternate install disc. | 07:55 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: can you cd to /var/log and then run du -h . inside it pls | 07:55 |
| maxxist | joot its a little less pretty of an installer but it works well | 07:55 |
| blame | How come ubuntu hasn't upgraded ekiga to 3.0 when ubuntu was upgraded to 8.10? | 07:55 |
| joot | Maxxist: OK I think I will completely format the thing to get rid of any cruft. I do not have the alternate disc | 07:56 |
| Flannel | blame: Because 3.0 wasn't stable when 8.10 was released | 07:56 |
| maxxist | joot you can download from ubuntu site. | 07:56 |
| reverendnathan | outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69131/ | 07:56 |
| blame | Flannel: any way to get ekiga 3 now? | 07:56 |
| chandraneelnr | people will anybody answer my query????? | 07:56 |
| maxxist | joot i think your original disc is bad. you said you tried to install twice with it? | 07:56 |
| joot | Maxxist: Alright I will do that I am not too worried about a pretty install screen as long as the end result is good | 07:57 |
| Flannel | blame: There may be a backport from jaunty available. You could file a backport request. | 07:57 |
| Flannel | !backport | blame | 07:57 |
| ubottu | blame: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 07:57 |
| maxxist | joot its still got a simple installer. pretty much guided. just doesnt have a desktop. very easy to follow though. | 07:58 |
| blame | thanks | 07:58 |
| maxxist | joot but it will install a desktop for you bro | 07:58 |
| joot | Maxxist: Yes but I also have a rc version and that is not going in either | 07:58 |
| maxxist | joot yeah stick to stable man | 07:59 |
| kostja_ | maxxist , i update has been made, but it's the same behavior | 07:59 |
| chandraneelnr | Modem query. Will anybody answer it??? | 07:59 |
| maxxist | kostja_ is your whole network going down or just the ubuntu box? | 07:59 |
| joot | Cool I will go and d/l thanks for your help :)) | 07:59 |
| maxxist | joot np. hope it works out | 08:00 |
| joot | Maxxist: Will let you know | 08:00 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: the logs look cool; how much disk space do you totally have? | 08:00 |
| kostja_ | no, just my laptop, my phone is over ip and i have tested it, it works without problems | 08:00 |
| maxxist | joot i be here | 08:00 |
| Nillerz | Hi! How do I turn of xfce so I can run Fluxbox? | 08:00 |
| maxxist | kostja_ k that rules that out. | 08:00 |
| joot | Maxxist: Later then :) | 08:01 |
| ziroday | Nillerz: you can pick fluxbox at the login screen | 08:01 |
| Nillerz | I don't see any of those options at the login screen | 08:01 |
| ziroday | Nillerz: did you install fluxbox? | 08:01 |
| Nillerz | I see shut-down, restart, and saved sessions | 08:01 |
| Nillerz | yes I did install fluxbox | 08:01 |
| maxxist | kostja_ you are using dhcp or auto right? what kind of network card are you using? | 08:01 |
| kostja_ | dhcp | 08:01 |
| ziroday | Nillerz: err it should be called session or something like that, one sec | 08:02 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: one area where you can immediately salvage some disk space is in your /usr/share/doc | 08:02 |
| firestorm | Is there a channel for jaunty yet? | 08:03 |
| outbackwifi | reverendnathan: just delete everything inside that directory as none of us reads the documentation (we come to #ubuntu straight) | 08:03 |
| ziroday | Nillerz: go to the bottom left and go to sessions | 08:03 |
| Flannel | firestorm: #ubuntu+1 will be it, and its likely still closed. | 08:03 |
| Nillerz | sessions you say? Okay, be right back then | 08:03 |

| WIGGMPk | Hello, im looking for a nice GUI app for converting audio files to different formats.. mainly ogg to mp3. Any thoughts??? | 08:05 |
| |adam| | Does 8.10 have better power management support, specifically, laptops? | 08:05 |
| omegasix | I have a question regarding FireStarter and some strange traffic i'm getting from my ISP. Can some one help me or direct me to a place where I can get help. I suck at anything networking related :P | 08:05 |
| Flannel | WIGGMPk: transcoding lossy to lossy is a bad idea. | 08:05 |
| egoflux | WIGGMPk: soundkonverter | 08:05 |
| Nillerz | oh hello this is fluxboxy | 08:05 |
| ziroday | WIGGMPk: there is a package called soundconverter, should do what you need | 08:05 |
| maxxist | kostja_ you on a laptop? | 08:05 |
| Nillerz | I'm sorry I should have figured that out, I don't think I messd with enough things | 08:05 |
| ziroday | !info soundconverter > WIGGMPk | 08:05 |
| ubottu | wiggmpk, please see my private message | 08:05 |
| WIGGMPk | Flannel: lossy? I dont follow | 08:05 |
| firestorm | Flannel: cheers | 08:06 |
| WIGGMPk | egoflux: ziroday: thanks both of you | 08:06 |
| egoflux | np | 08:06 |
| Flannel | WIGGMPk: mp3 and ogg are both lossy audio compression schemes (which means they throw data out to accomplish the compression). Converting from one lossy format to another means you get information thrown out from encoding 1, and more information thrown out from encoding 2. So your sound quality is much worse than if you ripped directly to encoding 2 (or went from a lossless codec, like FLAC, straight to encoding 2) | 08:07 |
| kostja_ | maxxist ASUS A8SC | 08:08 |
| maxxist | kostja_ brb | 08:08 |
| WIGGMPk | Flannel: wow, I had no idea about that Flannel, thanks.. what if you only have an audio file that is already in a lossy form? what is the best way to proceed (if you need it to be in another format, say one that is more universally accepted?) | 08:09 |
| chandraneelnr | well i have a dial-up modem. i have used scanmodem and configured the modem. But when i do sudo wvdial, it shows 'not a valid phone usrname and password'. Although the usrname etc. work well in windows and 8.04 but cannot do it in 8.10 In 8.04 there is an option for network configuration where one is supposed to enter details such as target number, username, password but no such option exits in 8.10 | 08:09 |

| === diskin is now known as diskin|away | ||
| |adam| | anyone running 8.10 on quad-screen with 2 video cards (NV)? | 08:10 |
| Flannel | WIGGMPk: Unfortunately theres no alternative if you need it in format B and only have it in format A. In the future, if you're "archiving", rip to FLAC, which is lossless, and will allow you to encode in the format-of-the-month without any quality loss. | 08:10 |
| |neon| | i'm having a strange problem, i can change my desktop settings and everything works fine, but once i reboot the settings are lost everytime, i tried session manager but not luck, any suggestions? | 08:10 |

| ziroday | Aron_: please read https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA | 08:19 |
| kostja_ | olabasher | 08:19 |
| Aron_ | ziroday: already read that,but I am still fuzzy | 08:19 |
| kostja_ | ? | 08:19 |
| outbackwifi | h4mx0r: use a wildcard (192.168.1.0/24) | 08:19 |
| olabasher | kostja_: nothing i have found a off topic channel | 08:19 |
| olabasher | kostja_: trank u | 08:19 |
| ziroday | Aron_: okay, what are you unsure about. The best place to ask really is #launchpad | 08:20 |
| olabasher | thank | 08:20 |
| Aron_ | ziroday: can we continue here, or change to #launchpad? | 08:20 |
| h4mx0r | outbackwifi: are you sure? I just went to shared folders option and put in 192.168.1.255/255.255.255.0 and it doesn't work perhaps I should do 192.168.1.255 for the netmask? | 08:20 |

| |adam| | h4mx0r: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 | 08:21 |
| h4mx0r | wers: is it a laptop? try checking for laptop mode script and browsing through it for brightness options it probably uses the same method for when you pull the power cable | 08:22 |
| outbackwifi | h4mx0r: this is what someone says IP networks — Allows the matching of hosts based on their IP addresses within a larger network. For example, 192.168.0.0/28 allows the first 16 IP addresses, from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.15, to access the exported file system, but not 192.168.0.16 and higher. | 08:22 |
| wers | h4mx0r, where is that laptop mode script? | 08:22 |
| outbackwifi | wers: on my laptop its inside /etc/acpi | 08:23 |
| h4mx0r | wers: its a service thing sort of, I think they still use it in 8.10 try googling for ubuntu laptop mode brightness and you should find the relevant commands to adjust your shortcut buttons | 08:23 |
| kostja_ | maxxist, over cable all does work | 08:23 |
| MHz128 | After mounting an ISO DVD image, how do I play the movie? | 08:24 |

| wers | for some reason, the brightness keybind doesnt work properlyanymore. whenever i press the keybind for adjusting it up or down, it doesnt work all the time and the OSD doesnt appear anymore | 08:24 |
| Aron_ | ziroday: I have to say nobody replies me on #launchpad | 08:24 |
| ziroday | Aron_: just wait | 08:25 |

| ay^ | Chilired: and what does that line say now? | 09:26 |
| stinger | outbackwifi, its not found | 09:26 |
| stinger | outbackwifi, I think i am missing the source list for it | 09:26 |
| outbackwifi | binskipy2u: so why are you saying that you cant mount ? | 09:26 |
| outbackwifi | !info synaptic | 09:27 |

| binskipy2u | well ive aleways just put in a cd dvd | 09:27 |
| outbackwifi | stinger: sudo apt-get update ; then try installing | 09:27 |
| nikolam | check permissions of /media directory where is cd-dvd mounted after mount | 09:27 |
| binskipy2u | and it seen it | 09:27 |
| binskipy2u | and opened up nattilus | 09:27 |
| Chilired | ay^,in windows I will have to check later, but instead f default 0 it is now 5 | 09:27 |
| binskipy2u | and i ddi what i wanted to do | 09:27 |
| binskipy2u | now suddenly i have to issue a command to mount a cd and dvd? | 09:27 |
| outbackwifi | binskipy2u: so your problem definition is incorrect; automount is not working | 09:27 |
| binskipy2u | never had to in the past 3 ubuntu distros | 09:27 |
| nikolam | binskipy2u, and set permissions with sudo chmod ugo+rw on that dir in /media | 09:27 |
| stinger | outbackwifi, Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 09:28 |
| stinger | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 09:28 |
| stinger | is only available from another source | 09:28 |
| bullgard4 | Where can I find a description of the Sound Preferences dialog? | 09:28 |
| stinger | I have done a full update | 09:28 |
| lilkoisuru_ | Why is the alternate install disc showing up all horribly glitchy?! | 09:28 |
| ay^ | Chilired: wierd.. and if you change anything else, that DOES change? say a title or something? | 09:28 |
| nikolam | binskipy2u, 8.10 is problematic in many ways for me too, per instance, floppy does not work by default etc.. | 09:28 |
| stinger | I am running ubuntu 7.10 | 09:28 |
| mudit | i have a compiler that i run from windows command line | 09:28 |
| outbackwifi | stinger: did you do a apt-get update? | 09:28 |
| stinger | outbackwifi, i use aptitude | 09:29 |
| mudit | can i make it run from hardy ? | 09:29 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 09:29 |
| metbsd | what does ubiquity do anyway | 09:29 |
| stinger | outbackwifi, but yeah i have update a apt-get update | 09:29 |
| metbsd | it halts there | 09:29 |
| nikolam | stinger, 7.10 is ok, 8.04 also. i am staying with 8.04 for a long time since many 8.10 issues | 09:29 |
| mudit | anyone ? | 09:29 |
| lilkoisuru_ | Okay. Is there ANY OTHER WAY to install Ubuntu other than alternate install or ubiquity, anyone? | 09:29 |
| Chilired | ay^, that was my next step, I am just collecting all my account data so I can set things up in ubuntu. just wanted to check if there was something known going on | 09:29 |
| Flannel | lilkoisuru_: What about the alternate install fails for you? | 09:29 |
| outbackwifi | lilkoisuru_: update distribution | 09:29 |
| metbsd | still ubiquity??? | 09:29 |
| ay^ | Chilired: ah no not that I know of. | 09:30 |
| metbsd | is it normal? still ubiquitying | 09:30 |
| hot_wheelz | hi guys :-) | 09:30 |
| lilkoisuru_ | Two major problems. ONE... the display is glitchy, so I can't see anything unless I alt+sysrq+R, E, I. Then it just sits there accomplishing nothing on the CD-ROM detecting phase.... doin gNOTHING.. | 09:30 |
| jim_p | adises: are you still there? if you are on 8.10 you have to change the "hardy" word on the repo line to "intrepid" | 09:30 |
| outbackwifi | mudit: you can use wine or check if there is a linux port of your compiler | 09:30 |
| outbackwifi | mudit: but what compiler is it? | 09:30 |
| tl | newbe's q: i installed wbar deb package,but it didnt show up.anybody knows the reason? | 09:31 |
| outbackwifi | lilkoisuru_: did you do a media check? | 09:31 |
| Chilired | ay^, its probably pilot error then, I will change the titling stuff and see if that change takes...perhaps my grub is looking elsewhere | 09:31 |
| lilkoisuru_ | outbackwifi: I have no os on this hard disk. This is a clean install./ | 09:31 |
| lilkoisuru_ | outbackwifi: Yes. | 09:31 |
| hot_wheelz | I have a couple quick questions..I was hoping u guys may be able to help me answer them...maybe | 09:31 |
| mudit | outbackwifi: it is flex compiler | 09:31 |
| werdnus | !ask | hot_wheelz | 09:31 |
| ubottu | hot_wheelz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:31 |
| outbackwifi | mudit: flex as in lexical analyzer? | 09:31 |
| outbackwifi | !info flex | 09:31 |
| ay^ | Chilired: yeah I was thinking of that too, perhaps it's installed in the MBR as well or something | 09:31 |
| ubottu | flex (source: flex): A fast lexical analyzer generator.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.5.35-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 236 kB, installed size 972 kB | 09:31 |
| metbsd | what is ubiquity!!! | 09:31 |
| Flannel | metbsd: the graphical installer the Desktop CD uses. | 09:32 |
| metbsd | why is it installing things without notice me | 09:32 |
| hot_wheelz | ok sure | 09:32 |
| lilkoisuru_ | outbakwifi: Finally, after a while, the dialog showing it's detecting the CD-ROM diappears, and nothing is left on the screen. | 09:32 |
| hot_wheelz | Q1 Do u know if the Brother DCP-330C has been added to the supported printer list or not? | 09:32 |
| lilkoisuru_ | outbakwifi: Just blue on grey. | 09:32 |
| mudit | outbackwifi: flex as in flash, Rich Internet Applications | 09:32 |
| outbackwifi | lilkoisuru_: do a ctl+alt+f4 and you might see some error messages | 09:33 |
| hot_wheelz | Q2 In regards to mobile broadband does the that built in Network Manager does it now have the ability to act as a connection client meaning there is no need for somthing like VMC (Vodafone Mobile Connect) as a client? anymore is this correct? | 09:33 |
| outbackwifi | mudit: ah adobe flex? | 09:33 |

| LoveGuru | outbackwifi> LoveGuru: did you try the sql-ledger website? | 09:49 |
| DRebellion | ardchoille, I would assume your camera simply acts as a usb storage device when plugged in, in which case you can just plug it in and browse like any other filesystem. | 09:49 |

| metbsd | stupid ubiquity | 09:54 |
| Rimfrost | hi everyone. i have just downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 but the startup from live cd goes slow... very slow why is that? it comes a black screen for a serval minutes before the desktop shows up | 09:54 |
| arthur | probably a graphocs driver issue | 09:55 |
| pronoy | hey can anyone help me wid the nautilus problem | 09:55 |
| pronoy | ?? | 09:55 |
| Chilired | whats the problem pronoy | 09:55 |
| outbackwifi | geev: a) sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1 (assuming thats the flash disk partition) b) press d to delete existing partition c) press n for new d) select type e) w to write f) mkfs /dev/sdb1 (if its ext3) | 09:55 |
| ardchoille | Rimfrost: is that an older computer? Keep in mind the livecd can be slow, but it's much faster once it's installed to the hdd | 09:55 |
| lilkoisuru_ | rimfrost: It *is* running off a CD, after all. It's a lot of data to run off. | 09:56 |
| pronoy | Chilired: it crashes every time i run an application like totem | 09:56 |
| Chilired | playing xvid? | 09:56 |
| pronoy | chilired: it hangs up and then it has to be forcequit | 09:56 |
| pronoy | chilired: divx | 09:56 |
| geev | outbackwifi: thank am going to perform this now | 09:56 |
| Rimfrost | yeah but the same problem is when it is installed too, long wait time until the installer runs and when it is installed also it is a black screen for like 5-10 mins or more. | 09:57 |
| rfxcasey | what is the best why to arrange my directories | 09:57 |
| Chilired | pronoy, does the divx actually continue to play or does it crash out too | 09:57 |
| voox | I installed ubuntu server, xorg, slim, than fluxbox. When I get to the login screen I can't move my mouse or type anything. What could be the problem? | 09:57 |
| Oprtz | how to turn OFFwebcam2.0 in ubuntu , i use Ekiga and i close it but the camera light is STILL ON, | 09:57 |
| rfxcasey | I need some help with some questions | 09:57 |
| Rimfrost | my computer is: amd64 athlon, nvidia 8600 GT 1 GB ram nforce 4 motherboard | 09:57 |
| pronoy | chilired: it continues to play...fine....only nautilus crashes | 09:58 |
| rfxcasey | do most of you log in as admin or do you use a regular user account | 09:58 |
| Chilired | pronoy I have no idea, Ironically mine was doing the opposite, the totem crashed but nautilus was fine, turned out to be my video driver | 09:58 |
| metbsd | ubiquity dies when it copies files at 16%. what to do? | 09:59 |
| pronoy | chilired: i earlier disabled and then reenabled draw desktop from the gconf-editor | 09:59 |
| outbackwifi | rfxcasey: normal account; we use sudo, gksu or gksudo to perform administrative tasks | 09:59 |
| outbackwifi | metbsd: did you do a media check on your cd? | 09:59 |
| indistylo | can any one Tell me how to recover the GRUB ?? | 10:00 |
| pronoy | chilired any way to use the default settings for gconf-editor??????? | 10:00 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: you can't log in as root because the root account is locked, always use sudo from your normal account. | 10:00 |
| arthur | packages problems libpoppler_glib3 dependancy | 10:00 |
| Oprtz | how to turn OFFwebcam2.0 in ubuntu , i use Ekiga and i close it but the camera light is STILL ON, | 10:00 |
| rfxcasey | should I outbackwifi can I move all my normal files in my home directory to seperate them from the hidden files | 10:00 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I have mine unlocked | 10:00 |
| outbackwifi | indistylo: use livecd to boot; mount your harddisk boot partition and use grub-install to re-install grub | 10:01 |
| indistylo | can any one Tell me how to recover the GRUB ?? | 10:01 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: that is unsupported and unsafe | 10:01 |
| outbackwifi | rfxcasey: yes, ensure that wherever you move has the permissions for your normal user | 10:01 |
| Flannel | !grub | indistylo, first link | 10:01 |
| ubottu | indistylo, first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 10:01 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: you can lock it up again | 10:01 |
| outbackwifi | !root | rfxcasey | 10:01 |
| ubottu | rfxcasey: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:01 |
| indistylo | outbackwifi : ok ..Frnd i tried it already /// Can u suggest me step by step procedure | 10:01 |
| indistylo | i was Unsucessful to Install GRUB | 10:02 |
| lilkoisuru_ | rfxcasey: At the risk of sounding like I'm flamin gyou.... using root is a stupid thing to do. Especially if one were to, say, log in as root as their normal user. | 10:02 |
| === j2daosh_ is now known as j2daosh | ||
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: one of the things about that is that everyone knows you have a root account and they can sit here all day and try to brute force it, but you can't do that if root is locked. | 10:03 |
| outbackwifi | indistylo: read this --> http://www.andrejciho.com/linux/repairing-grub/ | 10:03 |

| Nathan-willems | Hi | 10:07 |
| rfxcasey | it's not like I have anyone showing me what to do all the time | 10:07 |
| bullgard4 | Where can I find a comprehensive description of the Sound Preferences dialog? | 10:07 |
| lilkoisuru_ | rfxcasey: Use gksudo | 10:07 |
| rfxcasey | I'm pretty new at this especially the command prompt | 10:07 |
| rfxcasey | lilkoisuru_, what will that do | 10:08 |
| Baldric | Hi all, can anyone help me fix a broken Xsession | 10:08 |
| Nathan-willems | How can i connect to the internet with my BT Home Hub and a realtek network card? | 10:08 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: what do you mean by description? | 10:08 |
| lilkoisuru_ | rfxcasey: It is like sudo, it allows you to run graphical prgrams as root. The syntax would be gksudo (command) | 10:08 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: one of the things about that is that everyone knows you have a root account and they can sit here all day and try to brute force it, but you can't do that if root is locked. | 10:09 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: Don't you know what a 'program description' is? Some call it program manual. | 10:09 |
| lilkoisuru_ | !gksudo | casey | 10:09 |
| ubottu | casey: 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) | 10:09 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: you mean how to use it? | 10:09 |
| bullgard4 | yes | 10:09 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: I would think its reasonably self explanatory, did you click on the help button in the bottom left | 10:10 |
| lilkoisuru_ | Huh. Every time I type something on this machine here... it beeps. D: | 10:11 |
| lilkoisuru_ | Only on xchat. I'm restarting it | 10:12 |
| rfxcasey | so are you all saying I should disable local administrator login | 10:12 |
| Baldric | Hi all, can anyone help me fix a broken Xsession? | 10:12 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: yes, that's the default behavior. | 10:12 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: yes, you should not have the root account enabled | 10:12 |
| rfxcasey | what about my permissions what should I have it set at\ | 10:13 |
| diskin | lilkoisuru_, you are in "insert" mode | 10:13 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: I have been using Linux since 2001 and Ubuntu since 2005. I've never had to log into root since then, sudo can do anything you need. | 10:13 |
| Flannel | rfxcasey: `sudo passwd -l` and then use `gksu nautilus` if you *really* need a root file browser (and be extremely careful, and close it as soon as your done) | 10:13 |
| diskin | lilkoisuru_, press ins key once again | 10:13 |
| lilkoisuru_ | sudo and gksudo elevate you to root levels for one command. | 10:13 |
| rfxcasey | well it would be nice to see how others have there file structures set up | 10:14 |
| itson | when i run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" i get something like "xserver-xorg postinst waring: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200xxxxxx... " please please help me with this, ive been at this for like 3 hrs | 10:14 |
| ziroday | itson: what are you trying to do? | 10:14 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: I don't change anything outside of my home dir unless I use an admin tool (sudo/gksudo) to do it. | 10:15 |
| itson | ziroday i have a fresh install of ubuntu on virtual machine ( im on mac running Parallels Desktop ) and im tryiing to get higher resolution | 10:15 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, well what about within your home dir | 10:15 |
| Baldric | Can someone tell me what i have to do to fix this error from .xsession-errors.... /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... | 10:15 |
| Baldric | Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_GB. | 10:15 |
| Baldric | Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default. | 10:15 |
| Baldric | Unable to create /home/me/.dbus/session-bus | 10:15 |
| Baldric | Couldn't exec /usr/bin/pulse-session: No such file or directory | 10:15 |
| FloodBot1 | Baldric: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:15 |
| rfxcasey | there are a lot of hidden files | 10:15 |
| lilkoisuru_ | I've reached the cleaning up phase.... seems to be sitting there again. Well, waiting patiently worked before... | 10:16 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: that is your turf, so to speak, you can do anything there and you usually don't need root privs | 10:16 |
| ziroday | itson: okay, and what goes wrong when running the command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 10:16 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, so can I move all my hidden files to a folder called hidden files and it won't mess anything up | 10:16 |
| itson | ziroday nothing comes up, just one line saying "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in blabla | 10:17 |
| arthur | help with udates | 10:17 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: no, that will indeed cause problems.. leave the hidden files where they are, it's ot hurting anything | 10:17 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: The help button in the bottom left describes an old (outdated) version of the program and it is far too sketchy. | 10:17 |
| sharperguy | Anyone have any suggestions as to why apt might still be trying to connect to and old proxy which has been removed using the gnome proxy tool | 10:17 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, it just looks so cluttered | 10:17 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: it does, but you can make nautilus not show hidden files | 10:17 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: well then perhaps you should add and fix up the help file | 10:17 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: in nautilus, ctrl+h | 10:18 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, yea so do I have to do this everytime I want to see them | 10:18 |
| ziroday | itson: okay, and it doesn't save your new /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 10:18 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: it's a toggle, yes | 10:18 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: What help file should I add? | 10:18 |
| Sertse | hi, a q about the usb creator in ibex, it works with other...isos? | 10:18 |
| Sertse | it sounded ambiqious | 10:18 |
| itson | ziroday , i think there is something wrong because when i delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:18 |
| itson | and then i run that command | 10:18 |
| Flannel | Sertse: I don't believe so, no. | 10:18 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: you should change the help file to reflect its current look | 10:18 |
| itson | then it just generates a new xorg.conf file | 10:19 |
| Sertse | ok. So no unetbootin replacement | 10:19 |
| itson | it doesnt give me any option to change any settings | 10:19 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, so what about groups how do they work | 10:19 |
| foo | Hm, anyone in here interested in writing articles for pay? Looking for these categories: Linux servers, Linux on the Desktop, Multimedia and Linux, Linux Applications, Distro Reviews, Linux Security, Linux Programming, Misc Linux Articles, and Linux Installation articles. Not sure how to go about finding the right people, but I assist with a forum who is lookin' for some articles. Nothing demanding... feel free to PM me for more info. Thanks! | 10:19 |
| ziroday | itson: hmm, what settings are you trying to change? | 10:19 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, that is a bad question I am sorry | 10:19 |
| itson | i think i have to select something like vesa or something | 10:19 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: no, you're trying to learn so please don't hesitate to ask things :) | 10:20 |
| pronoy | chilired: got any ideas regarding the nautilus crashing ? | 10:20 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: You should read this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 10:20 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I am what about permissions, if I am the sole user here do I have to allow group access to my files | 10:20 |
| ziroday | itson: okay, you can change that in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf by going to the Section "Device" and changing Driver "whatever" to Driver "vesa" | 10:20 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: To change the present help file to what in order that it reflects the current state of the program? | 10:20 |
| itson | ziroday but still, i have no mode or modes or whatever in there | 10:21 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: if you are sole user, you don't have to allow any other users or groups access to your files. But, if you are sole user, then there's no need to worry about someone else reading your files anyway | 10:21 |
| lilkoisuru_ | Yay! the alternate install worked eventually! n.n | 10:21 |
| bs12e | is "sudo apt-get autoremove" same as the temp cleaner in windows? | 10:21 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: you said that the help file was out of date, I am saying make it up to date | 10:21 |
| ziroday | bs12e: no | 10:21 |
| sic | hey gang. i had 8.04 dual booting with vista. from inside 8.04 i did an upgrade to 8.10. now when i boot, vista is missing from my boot loader. how can i re-add it? | 10:21 |
| pronoy | sic: you will have to reload grub i think | 10:21 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, well wouldn't it make security a little tighter? | 10:21 |
| ziroday | itson: that is correct, it generates a minimal xorg.conf, you are free to add those lines in if you want | 10:21 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: how can anyone else get into the computer to read them? | 10:22 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I mean I have a wireless access point | 10:22 |
| Sertse | hmm, the usb creator recognizes debian though? | 10:22 |
| bs12e | ziroday: so how do i remove all the junk that i had installed and uninstalled from ubuntu (8.10 btw) | 10:22 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I am also on the net | 10:22 |
| sic | pronoy: i'm pretty new to ubuntu. how do i go about that? | 10:22 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: Oh, I know nothing about wireless, sorry | 10:22 |
| ardchoille | !wireless | rfxcasey | 10:22 |
| ubottu | rfxcasey: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:22 |
| ziroday | bs12e: if you apt-get remove then its been uninstalled... | 10:22 |
| pronoy | sic: wait...i'll give you the link | 10:22 |
| sic | pronoy: thanks | 10:23 |
| itson | ziroday when i try to change screen resolution though the GUI window in gnome, i have multiple options but those options dont show up in xorg.conf | 10:23 |
| itson | is that normal? | 10:23 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, you don't need to know wireless just that it's another open avenue | 10:23 |
| ziroday | itson: that is normal | 10:23 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: no need to worry about the net, the default install doesn't have anything that allows connections from the net to your computer. This is why the installed firewall rules are blank. | 10:23 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: It is not me who wrote the program and I do not know the intentions of the author of the program and the means which he used to accomplish his goal. So I am the wrong person to which you direct your suggestion. | 10:23 |
| LordCrc | hi, is there a way to adjust the paging behaviour? i find that my machine becomes completely unusable if i stress memory (unlike my windows box, which "just" becomes very sluggish) I'd rather have it swap out the offending program more aggressively rather than dumping everything else to disk | 10:23 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I don't understand | 10:23 |
| pronoy | itson: that is just the virtual resolution options...do any of them work if you switch over to them ? | 10:23 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: well you can always contact the gnome authors and offer your help in completing the help files, I am sure they would be most grateful | 10:24 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, ok I know what you mean | 10:24 |
| freeatlast | I have (4) desktops enabled - Is there a way to have a different desktop background on each one ? ? | 10:24 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I had to think about it | 10:24 |
| itson | yes pronoy they work, but they are all lower then 1026x6xx something | 10:24 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: on my machine, after the intstall, there is nothing "listening" for connections to my machine. so if someone tried to connect they are ignored. | 10:24 |
| ziroday | freeatlast: pretty sure you can't | 10:24 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I am trying to set up sshfs on my network | 10:24 |
| itson | i have a huge HD display monitor on geforce 8800 | 10:24 |
| jimcooncat | Hardy netbooting driving me crazy, DHCP works fine for starting the installation, but when it runs the second time, it times out -- most of the time. Does this sound familiar to anyone? | 10:25 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: if you're worried, you can always setup the firewall. there is a nice gui to help with that, it's called: firestarter | 10:25 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: Your statement is wrong: I cannot always contact the GNOME authors. | 10:25 |
| ziroday | itson: but that is very much due to you using ubuntu _inside_ parallels | 10:25 |
| pronoy | itson: so do you want to increase the resolution ? | 10:25 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I have dansguardian, firehol and tinyproxy going | 10:25 |
| ziroday | bullgard4: why not? They have mailing lists and such, offer up your help there | 10:25 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: heh, that's better than what I have :) | 10:25 |
| itson | yes pronoy i do. ( i dont understand what u mean ziroday ) | 10:25 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I can get online so I know that port is open but I don't know that much else about it | 10:26 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: and I'm a security freak :) | 10:26 |
| freeatlast | ziroday, Thanks - I know about compiz but do not want to go there - like my desktop stable - no big deal - thought I would ask. Thanks | 10:26 |
| ziroday | itson: you are running ubuntu inside a parellel's virtualization software correct? | 10:26 |
| pronoy | itson: did you try the xrandr command in the cli | 10:26 |
| bullgard4 | ziroday: I have made several approaches in the past in this direction, and they failed. | 10:26 |
| Baldric | how do i fix broken gnome xsession anyone? failsafe xsession works, but i have to keep changing session @ login how do i fix this ? | 10:26 |
| vlt | Hello. Where can I find still working repository URLs for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy? | 10:26 |
| itson | yes i am ziroday | 10:26 |
| pronoy | sic: my internet is a bit slow...you'll have to hang on for a second | 10:27 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, well I wanted to block certain sites, it was a bit of a pain to set up and I don't know that much about those 3 programs and even if I need them all | 10:27 |
| itson | no i did not try xrandr command in the cli ( im not sure what that means ) | 10:27 |
| ziroday | itson: right, and the reason you can't get the full resolution you need is probably due to the graphics driver inside the vm | 10:27 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: dansguardian is good for that | 10:27 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, well what is tinyproxy | 10:27 |
| pronoy | itson: issue man xrandr command in cli and pastebin the output | 10:27 |
| ziroday | vlt: you won't be able to, edgy is end of life already | 10:27 |
| mOrO^ | getting rid of a non functiong icon in the "Places" area. | 10:27 |
| pronoy | itson: just the xrandr sorry | 10:27 |
| sic | no problem. I know my boot location for vista, couldnt i just add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:28 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: I don't know. But, just because you can connect _to_ a site doesn't mean that site can successfully connect back to you without your approval | 10:28 |
| sic | ? | 10:28 |
| pronoy | sic: its worth a shot..but i guess it'll be safer if you just restore grub | 10:29 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I only have on thing to say. I love wikipedia | 10:29 |
| sic | ok | 10:29 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, anyways | 10:29 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: Indeed :) | 10:29 |
| vlt | ziroday: Yes, but if I find a copy of the repo as it was I should be able to install old packages, shouldn't I? | 10:29 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, so how is your security set up | 10:29 |
| itson | ziroday but it works really well on my windows XP virtual box. | 10:29 |
| vlt | Is there any archive URL I could use? | 10:29 |
| sic | i've got to reboot. i'll be back in 2 minutes | 10:29 |
| mOrO^ | Im trying to get rid of a non functioning icon in the "Places" area? ? ? | 10:29 |
| itson | sorry pronoy working with really low resolution really hard to get around to putting stuff up on pastebin | 10:30 |

| rfxcasey | ardchoille, See my problem really is I come from a strong Windows background and know just enough about linux to be dangerous | 10:30 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, what about scriptblocker for you web browser | 10:31 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: Time to unlearn and relearn. But you're with one of the best Linux distros available, so just stick in this channel and learn from what others are doing.. that's what I do. | 10:31 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: I use noscript and adblock in my firefox | 10:31 |

| rfxcasey | ardchoille, what is rkhunter | 10:32 |
| ardchoille | !rkhunter | rfxcasey | 10:32 |

| jimcooncat | Hardy netbooting driving me crazy, DHCP works fine for starting the installation, but when it runs the second time, it times out -- most of the time. Does this sound familiar to anyone? | 10:32 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: hold on | 10:33 |
| itson | pronoy i did not install nvidia-settings package. ( i dont think i have to running in virtual machine ) | 10:33 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: open a terminal and type: apt-cache show rkhunter | 10:33 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: That will give you some info about it, you can do that with others too: apt-cache show <package name> | 10:33 |

| * delcoyote hi | 10:34 | |
| pronoy | itson: you are running linux in a virtual machine ? | 10:34 |
| tidyboy0558 | Hey... I'm a noob.. I'd like to delete multiple files in multiple subdirectories.. Anyone who knows a way to do it kind of quick ? | 10:34 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, what is MD5 | 10:35 |
| Freku | maybe use a filemanager | 10:35 |
| itson | yes pronoy i am running linux inside virtual machine, ( im on mac running Parallels Desktop ) | 10:35 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: man md5sum | 10:35 |
| qpdb | moin | 10:35 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I have heard it mentioned but don't know anything about it | 10:35 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, ok hold on | 10:35 |
| Madsy | tidyboy0558: rm with the -rf parameters. Make *sure* you use a relative path, or else your whole system might go to kingdom come. | 10:35 |
| sic | ponoroy: manually adding into menu.lst solved my problem. thanks | 10:36 |
| Madsy | tidyboy0558: That will delete a directory and all its subdirectories. | 10:36 |
| AussieGuy | hi, ive got a c program telling me the sha1 for a certain file is 3UXJINW6U57KWZVCJ7M62HSSFPJJXZ5Z . openssl and sha1 utitlitys say the sha1 is dd2e9436dea77eab66a24fd9ed1e522bd29be7b9 ..... anybody know the difference? | 10:36 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, refresh my memory what are checksums the amount of bits in a file kept as a reference to see if the file size changed | 10:37 |
| amdpox | AussieGuy, one's in hex, one's in... something else | 10:37 |
| pronoy | sic: cool...i just finished looking up the problem...and guess what solution is to manually add into menu.lst | 10:37 |
| pronoy | sic: :D | 10:37 |
| AussieGuy | hmmmm | 10:37 |
| amdpox | rfxcasey, a checksum is a bit of data generated from the contents of an entire file | 10:37 |
| itson | i really want to know why when i type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg it doesnt bring up the thiing to configure.. it just generatates a really basic xorg.conf and quits, doesnt ask me to edit anything like screen rez or driver or whatever. | 10:37 |
| AussieGuy | so itd need to be converted from whatever it is | 10:37 |
| amdpox | if the file changes, the checksum changes | 10:37 |
| vlt | tidyboy0558: You can run `find` to select the files you want to delete. | 10:37 |
| Freku | !md5 | 10:37 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 10:37 |
| psypointer | hi | 10:37 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum | 10:37 |
| pronoy | itson: ok..so the only option is to add modelines into the xorg.conf and to do that you need to do man xorg.conf | 10:38 |
| qpdb | i have a problem using firefox with java-plugin.. every time a website that requires java is loaded, firefox gets grey and doesnt do anything anymore, is there any solution? =) | 10:38 |
| psypointer | with which tool can i configure my networking on a server installation? | 10:38 |
| sic | woot | 10:38 |
| pronoy | itson: it'll help you how to edit the file | 10:38 |
| psypointer | i dont want to edit all files manually.. | 10:38 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, yeah that is basically what I said | 10:38 |
| amdpox | not quite | 10:38 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, would that be considered metadata | 10:39 |
| qpdb | psypointer, network config is not too much =) maybe search for webmin, but i can't recommend this tool | 10:39 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: I'm not sure | 10:39 |
| psypointer | qpdb: well, i thought that i can reopen the settings dialog which was shown at the setup.. | 10:39 |
| itson | pronoy, i have some experience with xorg.conf but everything is so confusing because i cant input the right values for monitor and for video card and stuff because linux is running under virtual machine. | 10:39 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata | 10:39 |
| vlt | tidyboy0558: There's an option "-exec" for `find`. To remove all files ending in .bak older than one week you could run `find ./some_directory -type f -mtime +7 -name "*.bak" -exec rm {} +`, for example. | 10:40 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I guess it would be | 10:40 |
| ardchoille | yeah | 10:40 |
| pronoy | itson: well i edited my xorg.conf to get to 1440 * 900 from 800* 600 but i run only ubuntu...so i guess i am a little short on experience here | 10:40 |
| qpdb | psypointer, mhh try "dpkg-reconfigure <packageYouWantToReconfigure>" (donno the pkg name) | 10:40 |
| amdpox | tidyboy0558, vlt, even better there's an option -delete | 10:40 |
| psypointer | qpdb: hm nope.. | 10:41 |
| vlt | amdpox: Thanks, didn't know that ;-) | 10:41 |
| Zalpinec | Hi, I have installed a 64bit version of Ubuntu, I'm trying to install Skype, but there is no 64 bit version, what to do ? | 10:42 |
| pronoy | sic: just in case for the future http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 | 10:42 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, For example, metadata would document data about data elements or attributes, (name, size, data type, etc) | 10:42 |
| _Drax | So noone knows about 8.10 freezing / kernel panicing?? | 10:42 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: yep | 10:42 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, that was from wiki | 10:42 |
| tidyboy0558 | Thanx guys.. Here's my case.. I have a music-folder, and it's messed up with subdirs any strange files.. I'd like to delete only the .mxm and .riff-files, and keep all of my .mp3-files.. | 10:42 |
| vlt | Hello. Where can I find old but still working repository URLs for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy? | 10:42 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, anyways is that checksum attached to the individual file or is it kept in a database of sorts | 10:43 |
| vlt | tidyboy0558: That's the best case to use `find` for ;-) | 10:43 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I would guess the file itself | 10:43 |
| tidyboy0558 | THX | 10:43 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, maybe like a header | 10:43 |
| cliff_ | hi everyone. How can i install glib 1.2 or better on my Intrepid system? what is the package?? | 10:43 |
| Baldric | Can anyone tell me how to fix a borked Xsession? | 10:43 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: to answer one of your previous questions, you have a folder in your home named .gconf and gnome uses that for config files. If you move it gnome may yell or start with an empty config and your settings will be gone | 10:43 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, but don't let me get side tracked I have a couple more questions if you have the time | 10:44 |
| itson | really really want to know why when i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg that it just generates a xorg.conf and doesnt come up with giving me any options to choose from like drivers and rez settings. | 10:44 |
| cliff_ | hi everyone. How can i install glib 1.2 or better on my Intrepid system? what is the package?? | 10:44 |
| sic | I've got one more question. i noticed in firefox when i hit a flash page, i have to click a "play" icon where the flash image is in order to start it. is there any way to make this automatic? | 10:44 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: no, a checksum is calculated by the user, using md5sum or sha1sum, and returned, it's not attached to the file | 10:44 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: I'm here for a while, I like to help | 10:45 |
| cliff_ | hi everyone. How can i install glib 1.2 or better on my Intrepid system? what is the package?? | 10:45 |
| amdpox | itson, try without the -phigh | 10:45 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, well do you have to do an initial checksum scan of your files to generate a database then | 10:45 |
| kskrilla | hey can anyone help me out im on my buddies computer hes using a sony vio with ubunto 8.10 and it perodically freezes/crashes any suggestions? | 10:45 |
| bamball | after i install xfce, the login screen also changed to xubuntu login.. is there anywhere to restore the normal ubuntu login screen? | 10:46 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: the only time I checksum a file is when I download an iso, otherwise I don't mess with anything. rkhunter, otoh, does checksumming as part of its checks | 10:46 |
| Baldric | kskrilla: try switching off powersaving in the bios | 10:46 |
| Flannel | bamball: login screen setup, and you can configure it | 10:46 |
| bamball | Thank | 10:46 |
| kskrilla | kk ill give it a go tm | 10:46 |
| bamball | thanks flannel | 10:46 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, how do you do that | 10:46 |
| pronoy | bamball: the login screen or boot screen ? | 10:47 |
| itson | amdpox i did that, and it works, BUT it gives up after it configures the keyboard settings.. | 10:47 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: checksum a file? md5sum /path/file | 10:47 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, what do you check it against? | 10:47 |
| kskrilla | the thing is when he ran 8.04 he had no issues after he uppgraded to the beta of 8.10 via apt-get and then went thru all the updates to get to the present it just started doing this last week | 10:48 |
| bamball | the login screen | 10:48 |
| amdpox | rfxcasey, a file in the same place with same name with .md5 suffixed | 10:48 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: when you download an iso, the webpage usually has a checksum to check it against or a file of checksums to check | 10:48 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, ok that is kinda what I though but wasn't sure | 10:48 |
| arthur | need help with package updates | 10:49 |
| ardchoille | arthur: please be more specific | 10:49 |
| _Drax | If you upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 with do-release-upgrade is it possible to go back to 8.04 without having to "format/install again 8.04 all over again" | 10:49 |
| arthur | libpoppler _glib3 on hardy8.04 | 10:49 |
| pronoy | bamball: then i guess the login screen tab in your administrator is the way | 10:49 |
| === Exteris_ is now known as Exteris | ||
| bamball | yeah got it thankz pronoy | 10:50 |
| ardchoille | arthur: you can update your system with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get safe-upgrade | 10:50 |
| vlt | Any idea where to look for old but still working repository URLs for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy? | 10:51 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, so if I download a program dpkg where is the best directory to put the files | 10:52 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, for instance if I download the teamspeak package and unzip it where would I put it usr? | 10:53 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: first of all it's best to stay with the repos, always check the repos for an app before you download an app, use the repo version over any other things you download. If you download a package that isn't in the repos, put it where you want | 10:53 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: But, if you manually download a package and install it, the package manager won't do any version managing | 10:53 |
| mariusp | Is anyone using wmii 2.5 as in the ibex repos? I could use a little help in getting a proper wmiirc file. Thanks | 10:54 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, well were do all those repo programs end up? | 10:54 |
| Sorcererbob1 | rfxcasey: the place you put the .deb usually isn't the place it installs to. So put it in your home folder | 10:54 |
| ardi_kk | hello can some one tel me the way to configure web cam on hardy? | 10:55 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: the stuff the package manager installs is placed in /var/cache/apt/archive and you can clean that out if you need: sudo apt-get clean | 10:55 |
| payz | Hello | 10:55 |
| Skiessi | !info libqt4-dev | 10:55 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, what do you mean by clean it out? | 10:55 |
| ubottu | libqt4-dev (source: qt4-x11): Qt 4 development files. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.3-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 5571 kB, installed size 26988 kB | 10:55 |
| ardi_kk | i need to know how i can associate my web cam with vlc to capture video | 10:56 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, so after this man rkhunter how do I get my terminal back to normal? | 10:57 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: the packages that are downloaded by the package manager are kept in /var/cache/apt/archive, you need to manually clean it out if needed. I think synaptic can clean it out for you but I don't use synaptic | 10:57 |
| kskrilla | so anyone else have any ideas on why 8.04 worked fine but when i updraded to 8.10 they system periodically crashes/freezes, imusing a sony vio | 10:57 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: type q | 10:57 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, ah, you are cool | 10:58 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, I have been wondering how you do that | 10:58 |
| ardchoille | :) | 10:58 |
| Chilired | lol | 10:58 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: you can usually type "man tar" or "man cp" (without quotes) in firefox and it'll show you a man page about an app | 10:59 |
| Chilired | man man | 11:00 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, why would you need to "clean out" apt | 11:00 |
| pronoy | kskrilla: be more specific | 11:00 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, or not apt but um whatever | 11:00 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: over time all those packages can take up disk space | 11:00 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: open a terminal and run: ls /var/cache/apt/archive | 11:01 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, oh I see so the packages (like zips lets say) are stored there and then the programs are installed from the packages? | 11:01 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: right | 11:01 |
| pronoy | ardi_kk: what webcam are you using ? | 11:01 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, wow didn't really think about that | 11:02 |
| kskrilla | im have g of ram, im on my friends computer ill be chillin out bs'in on the comp and without warning the system will crash heck it even roze on the screensave a couple times and the only way it seems as if i can get out is by a restart, when he had hardy it worked great but with intrepid it freezes up from time to time | 11:02 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: you can even burn those to a cd for use later on a machine that doesn't have net access | 11:02 |
| Flannel | !aptoncd | rfxcasey | 11:02 |
| ubottu | rfxcasey: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 11:02 |
| ardchoille | Flannel: Thanks, I was trying to remember that | 11:02 |
| rfxcasey | ardchoille, even so I could back them up my server and make things fasters I suppose | 11:03 |
| ardchoille | sure | 11:03 |

| leohartx | how do i install AWN 0.3.1 ? | 11:08 |
| MrBougo | I've seen solutions involving editing some file for my hardware | 11:08 |
| Flannel | inktri: Certainly more powerful, and generally faster, yes. | 11:08 |
| ardchoille | rfxcasey: yes, it's emptied out. I do that once a week | 11:08 |
| MrBougo | but the problem is that I need this static IP on that specific network | 11:08 |

| umangme | Hi! This may seem like a trivial problem, but I'm not able to get my head around it. I am the admin, and want to be able to edit one particular file often, which I am not the owner of. So I add the owner of the file and myself to a group and make the group own the file. Then I do a chmod 774. But the file is still coming as read-only on OpenOffice. What do I do? | 11:29 |
| amdpox | kelvin911, which DE? GNOME? | 11:29 |
| kelvin911 | ubuntu | 11:30 |

| bamball | this room is quiet because all ubuntu issues have been resolved | 11:31 |
| umangme | eerm: OK. I'll say it more specifically. | 11:31 |
| Guest3815 | lol | 11:31 |
| umangme | eerm: XYZ owns a file. I want to edit it as well. So XYZ and me are put in one group. The group owns that file. chmod 774. It is still read-only for me, but not for XYZ. | 11:32 |
| qpdb | bamball, i really dont think so ;) | 11:32 |
| amdpox | umangme, are you sure you're in the group? | 11:32 |
| bamball | just kidding man | 11:32 |
| umangme | amdpox: Yes, I've checked. | 11:32 |
| bamball | maybe that day will come ;) | 11:32 |
| dmizer | in hardy, how the heck are you supposed to change the display driver? | 11:33 |

| bonkeman | I'm completely new to Linux and have just installed Ubuntu. I want to access the Linux drive from Windows using "fs-driver". The disk gets mounted but I can't access it. Windows wants to format it! The "mountdiag" tool says I need to reformat the file system, giving the mkfs.ext3 utility the -I 128 switch. HOW am I supposed to format the drive that Ubuntu is installed on? | 11:38 |
| Ging | dont do it? | 11:38 |
| xukun | sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko | 11:38 |

| kelvin911 | i installed apt-get install sensors-applet, now what? | 11:39 |
| user1 | I upgraded 8.04 -> 8.10 | 11:39 |
| xukun | _Drax, I don't have that | 11:39 |
| GeorgeA | why can't i do man 3 printf? | 11:39 |
| amdpox | E2IFS on windows tells me to format when Ubuntu doesn''t tie off the journal properly | 11:39 |
| bonkeman | amdpox: yes, i think so :) | 11:40 |
| amdpox | kelvin911, right click on your panel and add the applet | 11:40 |
| user1 | and it is an epic fail: most programs got removed. I was upgrading by hand since the upgrade installer from alternate cd is broken | 11:40 |
| DasEi | bonkeman:there is an utility you got to install in windows, one mom, looking it up | 11:40 |
| kelvin911 | what applet is that?i cant find it | 11:40 |
| blahbleh | dasEi: yeah, it's fs-driver, that's what i used... but that's what he's using... :-S | 11:40 |
| bonkeman | Yup, fs-driver | 11:41 |
| kelvin911 | i found it | 11:41 |
| kelvin911 | hardware moniter? | 11:41 |
| amdpox | sounds right | 11:41 |
| blahbleh | bonkerman: fs-driver worked for me just fine; the reboot-ubuntu-safely seems like a good approach at this time. also, restarting windows helped for me (you will almost certainly need to restart after installing fs-driver) | 11:42 |

| kelvin911 | last time i was in windows maybe month ago my cpu was about 31 degrees | 11:43 |
| DasEi | bonkeman: its ext2ifs, see :http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html | 11:43 |
| blahbleh | kelvin911: my cpu is 56 degrees atm, was 82 degrees yesterday... they can take a lot =P | 11:43 |

| DasEi | dmizer: call it from terminal; backup done ? | 11:45 |
| blahbleh | dmizer: alt-f2, then type "gksudo displayconfig-gtk", then enter, is one way. really, though, the screen resolution thing in the system menu should be enough | 11:45 |
| dmizer | DasEi blahbleh: i get an error which says "could not open display" when i try to run it from the terminal | 11:46 |
| blahbleh | dmizer: can you run anything from the terminal? try xeyes | 11:46 |
| Lau_of_DK | Question: I need to run a script which takes user input just before GDM starts - Where do I put this? ( Ive tried /etc/rc3.d/S29script, and also to add it to /etc/rc3.d/S30gdm = no go, GDM just fires up anyway ) | 11:46 |
| DasEi | dmizer : gksu dispalyconfig-gtk doesn't work from terminal ? | 11:46 |
| blahbleh | AussieGuy: YAY AUSSIE WHOOO! also, if you're at one with the command line, try installing sleuthkit (in the repositories). then, at the commandline, type "sha1 putfilenamehere" | 11:47 |
| jrib | Lau_of_DK: what does this script do? How do you plan on entering input? | 11:47 |
| AussieGuy | that gives me the sha1 in hex format, not base32 | 11:47 |
| Lau_of_DK | echo "question" ; read answer @ jrib | 11:48 |
| jeeves_Moss | how do I get a directory tree (like the left hand side of the windows explorer) on Ubuntu? | 11:48 |
| dmizer | DasEi i have no display working at all. i need to reconfigure my display. i used to be able to perform this action by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that is no longer functional. i have no idea how to select the proper video card for my computer now. (not nvidia) | 11:48 |
| j2daosh | ok, i have read the wifi docs, but they aren't helping. Who has an atheros card that can help me | 11:48 |
| jrib | Lau_of_DK: yeah I understand how to get input in a shell script, but that's not what I asked | 11:48 |
| Lau_of_DK | jrib, I plan on entering it on the keyboard | 11:48 |
| jrib | Lau_of_DK: what does this script do? | 11:49 |
| Lau_of_DK | It choose between to versions of xorg.conf, one for home, one for work | 11:49 |
| Lau_of_DK | @ jrib | 11:49 |
| jeeves_Moss | anyone? tree view in my file explorer? | 11:49 |
| francispereira | anyone , nvidia drivers on ubuntu 8.10 | 11:50 |
| DasEi | dmizer:paste your xorg.conf: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 11:50 |
| sinan | in the context of linux, what is a "descriptor"? as in, file descriptor, network layer descriptor .. etc | 11:50 |
| DasEi | *paste | 11:50 |
| jrib | Lau_of_DK: the easy solution I see is to not start gdm automatically, login to a tty, then run xwork or xhome that starts X with the correct xorg.conf. However, are you sure you need to do it this way? hotplug should let automatically detect what you have connected? What is it that you need to setup 2 xorg.conf for? | 11:50 |
| rabe | jeeves_Moss click on place on the top of the place list | 11:50 |
| rabe | then choose tree | 11:51 |
| dmizer | DasEi: xorg.conf has no display information in it at all. | 11:51 |
| jeeves_Moss | rabe, where is it? | 11:51 |
| DasEi | dmizer: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:51 |
| rabe | right under the foreward and backward buttons | 11:51 |
| DasEi | dmizer: url from last cmd ? | 11:51 |
| Lau_of_DK | jrib, I need the script because something is not working automatically. But I guess I can use some of what your saying. If I remove S30gdm then instead put in my own S30script and from the last line of that "exec gdm", then that would give the right result? | 11:52 |
| jeeves_Moss | rabe, I'm moving a bunch of single files out of directories, so I need to be able to see a tree view so I can just click the next dir after I'm done moving the main file | 11:52 |
| bakarat | ok, i just hooked up a HDMI screen, but for some reason the resolution is crap and the desktop seems to renter partly outside the borders of the screen | 11:52 |
| bamball | does 8.10 work on PS3? anyone tried? | 11:52 |
| jrib | Lau_of_DK: something like that might work. You should at least file bugs if it's not working automatically so it does in the future | 11:53 |
| rabe | do you see a table on the left of the main window? | 11:53 |

| blahbleh | where /dev/sda is the drive to copy | 12:03 |
| blahbleh | rabe: or, if you only want one partition: sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/path/to/where/to/save/image (for example) | 12:03 |

| _Drax | Anyone had any freezing / kernel panic issues with 8.10 ??? | 12:04 |
| blahbleh | rabe: sudo dd if=/path/to/where/to/save/image of=/dev/sda2 | 12:04 |
| rabe | whow that seems to be easy! | 12:04 |
| blahbleh | rabe: also, give the backup a decent name so you know what it's actually backed up. i've had heaps of raw disk copies from that, but no idea what they were | 12:05 |
| blahbleh | rabe: actually, gimme a sec, that may not be right! | 12:05 |
| amdpox | if you're copying from /dev/sda, you want to write to there too, not the partition, no? | 12:05 |

| tarelerulz | dr_willis, 7.10 is the only one that works with my mtp device and hook up to the tv though s-video . Ubuntu 8.04 has some program work on it better and are new . I have Vista two . I just thought I might try Ubuntu 8.10 and see if I could get mtp device working and tv connection with s-video by install it . | 12:36 |
| ziroday | |MUSE|: your cpu can run both x86 and x86-64 | 12:37 |
| phanter | dr_willis: used a script that is normally used to put a ubuntu installer on a usb key (found it at the eeebuntu website), and I also tried unetbootin | 12:37 |
| DasEi | geeev:make sure to choose the right drive (left upper corner of gparted) | 12:37 |
| DasEi | geeev:right click on a party > delete, also new one, then applyx button in top bar | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | phanter, i had unetbootin work fine for me on alternative installer. Theres also the usbinstaller tool in the ubuntu menus. Not sure if thats useable from a live cd or not. | 12:38 |
| |MUSE| | ziroday: ok, I have this cpu and on the pc I have installed a 32bit OS and I have several packages that I can choose from to install. I need to pick one > http://trolltech.com/developer/eclipse-integration < which? | 12:38 |
| phanter | I wonder if the alternate/debian installer is hardcoded to ask for a cd-rom or that it can take arguments that not make it check for the cd-rom | 12:38 |
| ziroday | |MUSE|: gimme a sec | 12:38 |
| |MUSE| | ok sure | 12:38 |
| phanter | dr_willis: the point is that unetbootin works for all live cd's (and thus installers), but not for the alternate version | 12:39 |
| jpastore | so after upgrading to 8.10 I lost of the file associations for apps I installed through crossover. where do I go to fix that? for example vsd no longer opens visio. | 12:39 |

| mudit | DasEi: I don't know the name of the package, all I know is that it is installed in /usr/lib/flex/bin/mxmlc | 12:47 |
| ziroday | Guest49516: or you can install the libflashsupport package and see if that works | 12:47 |
| DasEi | mudit: cd there, look it up with ls | 12:48 |

| tarelerulz | Is there a torrent for Ubuntu 8.10 ? | 12:49 |
| blahbleh | ziroday: have you installed libflashsupport? i don't know if it was me messing with pulseaudio or me using a libflashsupport package, but now my flash sound uses OSS rather than ALSA. not a problem for me, but wondering whether it could be a libflashsupport thing (if so, eep.) | 12:49 |
| ziroday | tarelerulz: yes. do you want me to get it for you | 12:50 |
| Q_Continuum | Anyone have any experience with the 8.04 'Gnome locks up randomly, requiring reboot' issue? | 12:50 |

| DasEi | tarelerulz: look yourself at mininova.org | 12:50 |
| Guest49516 | cheers ziroday , that worked ;) | 12:50 |
| ziroday | blahbleh: its a package that contains a workaround to the flash pulseaudio bug but can cause pulseaudio instability and was introduced to late in the hardy cycle to be properly tested to be included by default | 12:50 |
| blahbleh | tarelerulz: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt | 12:50 |
| jrib | okidogi: with a driver you install, yes | 12:51 |
| mudit | DaeEi:i can't open the folder ! | 12:51 |
| tarelerulz | I just thought there might be an official torrent for it. Plus I did not know if the torrent you found where as up to date as what Ubuntu might have . sorry I should have looked ,but that stuff is not as easy to find on Ubuntu's site as you might think | 12:51 |
| DasEi | mudit: try as root from terminal | 12:51 |
| blahbleh | ziroday: hence my concern; just thinking that if the bug hasn't been resolved, i wouldn't want to give other people pulseaudio instability. because that *hurts* =P | 12:51 |

| user1_ | jrib: no | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | ziroday, you can remove them.. but it can be an annoyance | 12:59 |

| Stoneheart | So I am learning quickly | 13:18 |
| Welshman | not sure what bunt charge to get you up and running | 13:18 |
| Welshman | possible one off support request aetc I bet | 13:18 |

| Stoneheart | Microsoft wants about 50000usd to get them upgraded | 13:18 |
| name_name | but it's only right to root | 13:18 |
| Mechdave | Stoneheart, why don't you do a server install and then do a network install to each pc | 13:18 |
| name_name | it say rw | 13:18 |
| name_name | what wrong there? | 13:18 |
| Welshman | Stoneheart well I doubt it will be like that amount | 13:18 |
| Welshman | schools prolly get reductions as well | 13:19 |
| Stoneheart | With ubuntu it will be free | 13:19 |
| Welshman | exactly | 13:19 |
| Stoneheart | that is with the reductions | 13:19 |
| Mechdave | Stoneheart, Or maybe do a kickstart config so you can install many machines the same | 13:19 |
| Welshman | one support will incure a charge though | 13:19 |
| Welshman | one off | 13:19 |
| MnemonicPunk | Our school got pretty cheap volume licenses for Win XP pro and Win2k3 server. Still, Ubuntu would be way cheaper. :D | 13:20 |
| geev | DasEi: Thank you for your support and i decided to format it to fat32 since i will work to computer with winds, i lean many things though this exercise | 13:20 |
| Welshman | of course, thats the whole point of Ubuntu | 13:20 |
| DasEi | geev: you're welcome, nice to hear | 13:20 |
| Stoneheart | Yes problem is the hardware it older p4 1.8 512 ram 20 gig hd's | 13:20 |
| Welshman | and? | 13:20 |
| Stoneheart | most are p3 with 256 ram 20 gig hd's | 13:20 |
| Welshman | this is linux not windows | 13:20 |
| DasEi | geev: make sure to safely remove /unmount it to avoid problems | 13:21 |

| Mechdave | Stoneheart, personally I would get the alternative ubuntu install, burn off about 10 disks and do a OEM install on 10 machines at a time | 13:22 |
| Stoneheart | that is what I was planning | 13:23 |
| Welshman | Stoneheart last thing you want to do is mess up | 13:23 |
| fatbrain | is it just me, or is the http://start.ubuntu.com/8.10/ page just aweful?! | 13:23 |
| Mechdave | Stoneheart, it will be the simplest way to go about it. | 13:24 |
| Welshman | I would make a plan and put it to your boss | 13:24 |
| geev | DasEi: i appreciate you advice my computer was i prob 2 times due to that when i wasnt able to unmout flash but now days i take care | 13:24 |
| Stoneheart | Mechdave my problem is net working. I need to make sure I can still use some windows prog thru wine. | 13:24 |
| Welshman | involving some pro support to get the change done | 13:24 |
| petersaints | Guys... I currently have 4GB of RAM... I'm unsure wether I should keep 32-bit and have access to only 3GB or just go 64-bit and have access to the full 4GB? How is Flash currently working on Intrepid through nspluginwrapper? | 13:24 |
| Mechdave | Stoneheart, what programs do you need to use? | 13:24 |
| MnemonicPunk | Stoneheart: Wine is good but not reliable, check the Win apps you want to use with the appDB first. | 13:24 |
| Stoneheart | Not sure Some educational stuff not offered on the bunt side yet. This school is pre-k thru high school | 13:25 |
| geev | DasEi: i have another prob hear if you have more time let check if it can be corrected | 13:25 |
| Welshman | only apps linux cant handle would be flash editors etc | 13:25 |
| DasEi | geev: so ? | 13:26 |
| Welshman | np with office stuff | 13:26 |
| CuBe0wL | hi all! is python installed by default in itrepid ? | 13:26 |
| Welshman | 13:26 | |

| chuk_m | hey guys,does anyone know when /etc/environment is beeing read - when the changes take effect | 13:27 |
| Welshman | get it all over to bunt and save a lot of cash and you be in the good books :) | 13:27 |
| geev | DasEi: when i want to download update some link says hit or failed on synaptic package manager | 13:28 |
| MnemonicPunk | lol ubottu knows about the bofh and pfy :D | 13:28 |
| Welshman | geev check where you are getting updates from and try a different source | 13:29 |
| DIFH-iceroot | has the new ubuntu no /etc/apt/sources.list ? i am helping a friend who is using 8.10 but he says there is no such file (live cd) | 13:29 |
| Insomnia1ity | Hi! What kernel modules run laptop keyboards/touchpads? | 13:29 |
| DasEi | geev: sudo apt-get update | 13:29 |
| geev | DasEi: can i do something so will no more failure or hit or isnt a problem to me | 13:29 |
| MnemonicPunk | DIFH-iceroot: There should be one. o.O | 13:29 |
| Stoneheart | brb | 13:29 |
| DIFH-iceroot | MnemonicPunk: hm, ok | 13:29 |
| Welshman | whole of freck police force have gone Ubuntu :) | 13:30 |

| fakbill | hi, can someone tell me how I should apply the patch from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/259808/comments/48 ? | 13:30 |
| echinos | My update-manager is.. kinda hung | 13:30 |
| MnemonicPunk | DIFH-iceroot: Maybe the disc has errors or something else went wrong during boot? | 13:30 |
| DasEi | geev: does the last cmd give errors ? | 13:30 |
| jms32 | Hello. Are some analogs of evers (on windows) to look temperatur of CPU and analogic? | 13:30 |
| DIFH-iceroot | MnemonicPunk: no, its a normal live-system | 13:30 |
| === Stoneheart is now known as stoneheart | ||
| fakbill | it applies on a git version of X so I cannot patch the sources I get from apt-get source (there are older) | 13:31 |
| echinos | Last action was "Stopping Bluetooth Services" | 13:31 |
| MnemonicPunk | DIFH-iceroot: I know that my 8.10 had one. So it's strange that yours doesn't. | 13:31 |
| Welshman | cat /proc/cpuinfo gives a lot of info, not sure about temp though | 13:31 |
| dent | Insomnia1ity: I guess they're often treated like mice (not all of course). To see the modules available in vanilla kernel, doenload kernel source, unpack, do "make manuconfig" and have a look. | 13:31 |
| DIFH-iceroot | MnemonicPunk: but this is a live system not a normal install | 13:31 |
| c0re_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975137 | 13:32 |
| dent | Insomnia1ity: ehm, damned typos: make menuconfig, of course | 13:32 |
| echinos | DIFH-iceroot: there would be a sources.list with the CD listed as a source | 13:32 |
| Plater | do you not have sensors-applet ? | 13:32 |
| geev | DasEi: the some error ignore and fail do you need a paste-bin for it? | 13:32 |
| rever | Hi I just install Ubuntu 8.10 on my computer. I have a Nvidia 7800 GS with 512MB memory. I have the Nvidia 177.80 driver loaded and working. However, I am having drawing issues with Metacity and AWN. | 13:32 |
| DIFH-iceroot | echinos: ok, so normaly there is one | 13:32 |
| jms32 | Plater, you talking to me? | 13:32 |
| Welshman | Plater there probably is | 13:32 |
| echinos | DIFH-iceroot: yep | 13:32 |
| DasEi | geev: yes | 13:32 |
| Insomnia1ity | dent: hmm. | 13:32 |
| DIFH-iceroot | echinos: ok thx | 13:32 |
| Welshman | used one before in gnome a while ago | 13:32 |
| Insomnia1ity | dent: my problem is that my laptop keyboard/touchpad have stopped working in both livecd and install | 13:32 |
| _cb | I have this tracker tool installed as part of Ubuntu. What does it do? How do I use it? | 13:32 |
| dent | Insomnia1ity: hmm... try to investigate kernel log | 13:33 |
| Insomnia1ity | dent: I figured that rmmodding and modprobing the keyboard module might help | 13:33 |
| SnowFlame | hi | 13:33 |
| Insomnia1ity | dent: yeah, am reading dmesg now | 13:33 |
| c0re_ | Insomnia1ity, use keyboard. | 13:33 |
| Welshman | Plater amd do some linux software | 13:33 |
| c0re_ | oh both | 13:33 |
| geev | DasEi: look this http://paste.ubuntu.com/69213/ | 13:33 |
| dent | Insomnia1ity: similar think happened to me years ago; the thing was that there was a specific module added and my touchpad got treated "specially", thus breaking what was working before :-/ | 13:33 |
| hal | obey me, I am root. | 13:33 |
| Insomnia1ity | c0re_: lol | 13:34 |
| Plater | someone asked about temp sensors, on ubunutu you can can get that applet | 13:34 |
| Insomnia1ity | dent: hmmm | 13:34 |
| Plater | for a windows system, there are a few free products that do similar things, but they are not as good, in my opinion | 13:34 |
| DasEi | geev: that's ok, let me see : sudo apt-get install pastebin | 13:34 |
| Welshman | Plater search the software repos | 13:35 |
| SnowFlame | I have a problem: after a wrong cmd (apt-get --purge autoremove mono*) now I have no audio. and I don't know how to fix it. Ideas? | 13:35 |
| DasEi | geev: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list ,url ? | 13:35 |
| Plater | i have it and its working, was suggesting for other people | 13:35 |
| dent | btw. anybody else having fights about wired networks with the network manager applet in ibex, or is it only me? :) | 13:35 |
| phanter | when installing from the alternate cd you can choose for encrypted LVM. That is great, but can I then still add a separate /home partition or can I only go with the standard settings? | 13:35 |
| DasEi | phanter: can separate | 13:36 |
| geev | DasEi: i wanted to pastebin through in that way but am not good enough with linux command | 13:37 |
| kayfarik | DasEi hi | 13:37 |

| marius | hi, is there a way to add the guest acsess out of 8.10 to gdm? | 13:40 |
| dent | Insomnia1ity: if you "make menuconfig" with recent kernel, you can see what touchpad drivers are available | 13:40 |
| DasEi | geev: you can use pastebin to post files or outputs from cmd's | 13:40 |
| Dabbleh | isa webpigeon here? | 13:40 |

| geev | DasEi: check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/69216/ | 13:44 |
| robert__ | yea, this new install of 8.10 also told me in terminal to use alien to open rpm packages | 13:44 |

| ziroday | emorris: ah right, not sure about that. Sorry | 13:44 |

| robert__ | either way, i'm lost | 13:45 |
| legend2440 | emorris: open synaptic and press Origin it shows the repos used | 13:45 |
| ziroday | robert__: use the tar.gz. file | 13:45 |
| geev | DasEi: so no need to correct anything there is it? | 13:46 |
| priyang | how are you | 13:46 |
| robert__ | alright, so the package is pixops-2.0.tar.gz and is in /home/robert/Documents | 13:46 |

| robert__ | where do i go from there | 13:46 |
| ziroday | robert__: I thought you said you were installing vmware player? | 13:46 |
| irfan | how to use ffmpeg | 13:46 |
| emorris | legend2440: this doesn't work because security, updates and backports all have the same origin | 13:47 |
| irfan | pleas tell me instantly | 13:47 |
| robert__ | yea, for whatever reason, that's what gets downloaded when i go to vmware's site and click download for vmware player | 13:47 |
| user1 | irfan: I dunno | 13:47 |
| robert__ | ? | 13:47 |
| === priyang is now known as mr | ||

| pretoriano | it | 13:49 |
| geev | DasEi: another issue is that one day i was updating my sys and it was failled to complete to download due to slow link i have may be this was the course and is there a way so that i can just download the update withuot installing so that after complete download i can run installation? | 13:49 |

| jeeves_Moss | is there a way to go through a few thousand videos files and have VLC repair them? | 13:52 |
| ziroday | irfan: ffmpeg is run at the command line and can be quite difficult to understand, It might be easier to use avidemux which is a graphical tool | 13:52 |
| jeeves_Moss | ziroday: is there a way to go through a few thousand videos files and have VLC repair them? | 13:52 |
| can-o-worms | jeeves_Moss: mencoder and a script is what you need | 13:52 |
| ziroday | jeeves_Moss: no clue, thats why I didn't respond. Be patient :) | 13:52 |
| irfan | ziroday: where i can find it | 13:53 |
| ziroday | irfan: its in the repositories. You can install it through Add/Remove programs or Synaptic or apt-get | 13:53 |
| jeeves_Moss | can-o-worms, hummm, VLC complains a LOT, but it dosen't look like there is too much wrong with the files | 13:53 |
| irfan | ziroday: i have already installed it | 13:54 |
| ziroday | irfan: great! then you can use it | 13:54 |
| can-o-worms | doesn't anyone use evolution? | 13:54 |
| jeeves_Moss | can-o-worms, I do. what did you need? | 13:54 |

| matthias_N | hi my wireless network is not enabled or i am not able to see other wireless aps, i am in ubuntu 8.10, any help | 14:07 |
| Welshman | its xorg 7.4 you know not 7.3 | 14:07 |
| c0re_ | pelo, emorris ok listen i wanna be connected to the internet via dialup on boot | 14:07 |
| geev | DasEi: thank for your good news so can i set it somewhere because i dont know how the system get the updates | 14:07 |
| irfan | ziroday: your are a male or femail | 14:07 |
| Welshman | *first | 14:08 |
| j2daosh | yeah.... im looking for a simpler way since the aspire 1 keybaord doesn't look very forgiving | 14:08 |
| ziroday | irfan: how does this matter? | 14:08 |
| j2daosh | there is supposed to be some area i can map it as something else... where is that at? | 14:08 |
| emorris | c0re_: right, what's your current way of starting your dial-up | 14:08 |
| irfan | ziroday: why you do not give me your id | 14:08 |
| Pe1o | c0re_, first you'll have to setup your dialup , use the instructions ubottu gave you , then you add the dialup launch line to the /etc/rc.local file | 14:08 |
| Ahtenus | How do I turn of gnome and only start terminal? | 14:08 |
| DasEi | geev:it would be the /etc/apt/sources.list file, you can edit it with gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list, this file tells apt from where to load updates | 14:09 |
| Welshman | init 3 | 14:09 |
| j2daosh | Ahtenus: init 3? | 14:09 |
| j2daosh | or init 5 i think | 14:09 |
| c0re_ | emorris, pppd call gp | 14:09 |
| Pe1o | Ahtenus, I'M sure you can fine something about that in the forum , search for boot command line or boot console mode , www.ubuntuforums.org | 14:09 |
| Welshman | purist is init 3 :) | 14:09 |
| sharperguy | How come my up left/right keys are correct in the vtty but in gnome it gives me some weird keybindings with up as "print screen"? | 14:09 |
| j2daosh | :P | 14:10 |
| ziroday | matthias_N: what wireless card do you have? | 14:10 |
| irfan | ziroday: ok as you want now i am going for prayer ok bye | 14:10 |
| Ahtenus | j2daosh: ok | 14:10 |
| et3_ | Welshman: I used ctrl-alt-backspace and logged back in. Nothing changed. | 14:10 |
| emilien | Ahtenus, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then + ctrl + F1 - f8 | 14:10 |
| matthias_N | ziroday: a broadcom card | 14:10 |
| ModestUser | Hi all! I am looking for the package lists for ubuntu CD vs. DVD. | 14:10 |
| Welshman | its a reboot command | 14:10 |
| can-o-worms | emorris: thanks for that. . . all fixed now | 14:10 |
| irfan | ziroday: see you again | 14:10 |
| Welshman | sudo init 3 I guess | 14:10 |
| et3_ | Welshman: I'll give it a shot | 14:10 |
| emilien | Ahtenus, To start gnome sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 14:10 |
| Welshman | debian man here at the moment | 14:10 |
| ziroday | matthias_N: exact model? Also are you running hardy or intrepid? | 14:11 |
| emorris | sharperguy: this happened to me. open a terminal and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and follow the instructions. mostly the defaults will do. then log off and on again | 14:11 |
| matthias_N | ziroday: 8.10 upgraded today ... | 14:11 |
| emorris | can-o-worms: np | 14:11 |
| sharperguy | emorris, thanks, ill try that (first response in about a week i've been asking related questions) | 14:11 |
| ziroday | matthias_N: great, and exact model? Also have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? | 14:11 |
| Pe1o | ModestUser, I can tell you that the dvd contains the complete universe and restricted repositories, or is it univers and multiverse , can't remember | 14:11 |
| tarelerulz | I am trying to download the newest version of Ubuntu and I am using utorrent via wine and I am use my ntfs partition and I get this error access denied ? how can I get that fixed | 14:11 |
| emilien | Ahtenus, or you could sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove and stop gdm starting ( login manger ) and will log you into terminal , startx to start gnome | 14:12 |
| DasEi | geev: http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/08/how-to-get-fastest-ubuntu-apt-get-repository-server-with-synaptic.html | 14:12 |
| Pe1o | tarelerulz, your ntfs partition is probably just read only , you'll need to mount it with fuse , sudo apt-get get install ntfs-config then run it | 14:12 |
| emorris | sharperguy: this will remove any custom configfiguration you have made, unfortunately. It will, however, back up your old xorg.conf and tell you where it puts it. | 14:13 |
| matthias_N | ziroday: let me try to find out what model it is, i am an laptop dell with wireless card for wireless n as well, the hardware drivers are in state green but maybe just not activated, i guess, but hold on let me chenck what wireless card i can have ... | 14:13 |
| ziroday | matthias_N: if pastebin the command lspci I can tell you :) | 14:13 |
| DasEi | geev: the above link is easy to follow, no need to edit sources.list, then, could help you | 14:13 |

| jadams_ | has anyone here used the divx player for mac os X? | 14:15 |
| geev | DasEi: thanks let me follow the instruction | 14:15 |
| SimoneB | I'm trying to install the JMF classes on Ubuntu, but I get some errors and I've seen many of them with those errors. Anybody has a solution? | 14:15 |
| jadams_ | it's ubuntu related. divx on mac os x has a feature where after you leave the window's focus it will fade out all of the chrome | 14:15 |
| jadams_ | so you're left with a floating video | 14:15 |
| matthias_N | ziroday: this url i guess but now i am drowning you with info ...http://pastebin.com/d5ad0c8f6 | 14:15 |
| Pe1o | tarelerulz, then I don'T know , that was my only guess, just dl it to your ext3 partiton, or download it via ftp and save it to the ntfs partition | 14:16 |
| jadams_ | does anyone know of such a video player for linux? | 14:16 |
| thanhfedora | Hi all, how to enable acceleated graphics in Ubuntu v8.04? My computer is HP dv2310us, NVIDIA Geforce Go 6150 | 14:16 |

| Pe1o | jadams_, ask again in one line | 14:16 |
| matthias_N | thanhfedora: check if enabled in hardware drivers to start with .. | 14:16 |
| jadams_ | does anyone know of a video player for linux that will allow an easy 'floating video' function? Divx player on mac os x is an example. | 14:17 |
| jadams_ | Pe1o, sorry, it's early. Thanks for the wakeup slap | 14:17 |
| ziroday | matthias_N: you have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4328, can you verify the b43-fwcutter package is installed | 14:17 |
| Irishmanluke | So for some reason I can only connect to my local CUPS server only directly after I boot | 14:17 |
| Pe1o | jadams_, not sure what you mean by floating video | 14:17 |
| et3 | all of my window borders are gone. can someone help me? (compiz uninstalled) | 14:17 |
| matthias_N | ziroday: but i have the old driver for the wireless card installed as i wan see | 14:17 |
| jadams_ | Pe1o, think a 'picture in picture' function | 14:17 |
| jadams_ | Pe1o, I found one way to 'cheat' my way to it. I can fullscreen a vlc cideo, then use the compiz 'shelf' function to scale it down | 14:18 |
| Pe1o | et3, using compiz ? ask in #compiz, you probably just need to reactivate the decorator | 14:18 |
| matthias_N | ziroday: how do i do that | 14:18 |
| jadams_ | then alt+click to drag it where I want | 14:18 |
| SimoneB | et3: try to start metacity manually in a terminal, open a terminal and type "metacity" | 14:18 |
| ziroday | matthias_N: one sec | 14:18 |
| Pe1o | jadams_, I'm gonna guess mplayer, try asking in #mplayer | 14:18 |
| et3 | SimoneB: alright | 14:18 |
| sharperguy | emorris, Can't exactly say that helped... gdm is now in dvorak and it didn't help the problem while logged into gnome | 14:18 |
| jadams_ | Pe1o, thanks | 14:18 |
| dr_willis | I just set my media player to always be 'ontop' :) | 14:18 |
| Irishmanluke | I need to make it so that I can always connect to the print server | 14:18 |

| ziroday | matthias_N: can you sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 14:19 |
| tidyboy0558 | Hello, everyone. I use 'find . -name *.mxm' to locate some files.. How can I delete them i the same operation ? | 14:19 |
| et3 | SimoneB: still no borders | 14:19 |
| emorris | sharperguy: ok, well you can move the backed up xorg.conf over the existing xorg.conf | 14:19 |
| Pe1o | thanhfedora, start by installing the restricted driver , menu > sys> admin > restricted drivers , should be accelerated by default | 14:19 |
| Irishmanluke | Afterwards when I try to connect to CUPS it says httpConnectionEncrypt failed in the printer GUI | 14:19 |
| sharperguy | emorris, ok, i'll start with that | 14:19 |

| Deiz | xomp: Heh. In this case it's just the titlebar. It'll turn white if you stop in a specific spot, rendering it unreadable. | 14:21 |
| emorris | sharperguy: fair enough | 14:21 |
| Pe1o | mtozses_, what file system is it ? | 14:21 |
| xomp | Deiz, maybe theme related? Or perhaps compiz? | 14:21 |
| Deiz | Probably the latter. | 14:21 |

| Pe1o | mtozses_, it is , but is doesn't for some reason, so we'll try to mount it manualy and figure out the problem , I'm actualy guessing that the usb flash drive is borked , you might need to format it, does it work in other computers ? | 14:31 |

| dr_willis | NielsE, you can have kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop both installed,. no need for 2 'installs' | 14:36 |

| tarelerulz | Paddy_EIRE, they are bother linux gui . innovation is great for us all. Political different should not get in the way of getting better. Take KDE porting it app building frame work to windows and with it goes some of the apps. | 14:36 |
| Pe1o | NielsE, jsut install ubuntu , then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , that will give you both desktop on one os, you can select which you want from the loging screen | 14:36 |
| NielsE | dr_willis: yeah, but last time I tried with gutsy, it became a total mess, I could not get on the internet with kde because of knetworkmanager | 14:37 |
| maverick340 | Paddy_EIRE, have a look at http://pastebin.com/m1a8ba036 | 14:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | tarelerulz: yeah good point | 14:37 |
| rlj | when booting the old hardy kernel though, i see that the scancode/keycode behavior was identical there and still gnome and/or X managed to treat the keys right | 14:37 |
| dent | How can I select what locales get isntalled? I tried "dpkg-reconfigure locales", but that just regenerates some. | 14:37 |
| maverick340 | i get this when i eun apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:37 |

| maverick340 | also a crash report notification pops up but doesnt open | 14:37 |
| rlj | i've understood that hotkey-setup is involved in binding the scancodes to keycodes for various "internet keyboards", but that's as far as i've gotten. any tips on where to keep digging for clues? | 14:38 |
| dent | Pe1o: locales; localizations... like german, czech, whatever languages | 14:38 |
| tarelerulz | Paddy_EIRE: I can't wait until I here someone windows person use some app that was on kde/linux first and be like that is cool. I would say I know been using it for years. | 14:38 |

| maverick340 | Pelo, yeah its checked to find the fastest server | 14:39 |
| maverick340 | Paddy_EIRE, one second | 14:39 |
| Pe1o | dent, you can pick one from the instalation and then install others afterwards from the system > prefs > language support menu | 14:39 |

| maverick340 | thanks | 15:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | maverick340: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | 15:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | k | 15:02 |
| jrib | Some_ux: did you read the man page? | 15:02 |
| xomp | is there a program for linux that would allow me to bring out the vocals of a mp3 more so than the music? Like some filter or something? | 15:03 |
| Lytle | sorry that link doesnt help me, he commands it tells me to give dont seem to work right | 15:03 |
| maverick340 | i think vuze could be a problem. Because when the PC shut off, vuze torrents got corrupted and when i ran fsck i forgot to tell it not to change filesystem | 15:03 |
| maverick340 | i lost some data | 15:03 |
| jrib | Some_ux: it should apply it if it's in the .dsc afaik | 15:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | maverick340: hmm... sounds to me like you should backup what you can and reinstall mate :( | 15:03 |
| Pelo | xomp, youcan try with audacity maybe | 15:04 |
| maverick340 | now i am unable to remove vuze also :'( | 15:04 |
| xomp | Pelo, ok thanks, I'll give it a try. | 15:04 |
| maverick340 | yeah i am on it ,will down from http then | 15:04 |
| maverick340 | Paddy_EIRE, by reinstall do you mean format the filesystem ? | 15:04 |
| maverick340 | and install fresh ? | 15:04 |
| Pelo | xomp, but I'M not sure mp3 have seperate tracks for voice and music and such , maybe you also want to ask in #audacity | 15:04 |
| NekroJakub | It's cool that every distro has it's IRC chat and all, but what if I'm torn between three of them? >_< | 15:04 |

| vdrfanni | hello | 15:07 |
| vdrfanni | a little question | 15:07 |
| vdrfanni | where can i upload a deb package that i created | 15:07 |
| vdrfanni | ? | 15:07 |
| vrsys | hi a little question too :D | 15:07 |
| jrib | vdrfanni: for what purpose? | 15:07 |
| DeadPanda | hey, is there a DKMS .deb of any of the recent uvcvideo svn's available? | 15:07 |
| DeadPanda | I'm trying to avoid learning to build DKMS packages ;) | 15:08 |
| Pelo | vdrfanni, www.get-deb.net maybe | 15:08 |
| scotlfs | Hey guys, I got a support problem...hehe...I am an old linux user who's been away from linux for a few years. Decided to get back into linux a few weeks before Ibex came out, so I waited for ibex....Ibex Desktop CD doesn't boot into gdm or x, drops me to ramfs console...more... | 15:08 |
| DeadPanda | (new MSI Wind.. webcam's the only thing left) | 15:08 |
| vrsys | how to use resolution 1680x1050 ? i cant use | 15:08 |
| jrib | scotlfs: did you run "check the cd for defects" from the CD's boot menu? | 15:08 |
| vdrfanni | jrib, i created a debian package of bcwipe | 15:08 |
| scotlfs | I said ok its the cd, and loaded Heron, worked fine, but when I upgraded it, it ALSO dropped me to down to console after rebooting | 15:08 |
| scotlfs | jrib, see last | 15:08 |
| scotlfs | thnx | 15:08 |
| Pelo | DeadPanda, webcam might be a problem gspca is broken in 2.6.27-7 | 15:08 |
| mtozses_ | how do i know from the command line what version of ubuntu i am using? | 15:08 |
| ardchoille | mtozses_: lsb_release -a | 15:09 |
| Some_ux | jrib: Reading the man page now | 15:09 |
| askand | Can someone please help me make my wacomboard work in Ubuntu Intrepid! :( | 15:09 |
| Pelo | mtozses_, uname -r will tell you which kernel | 15:09 |
| jrib | Some_ux: ok (but I told you it should do what you said) | 15:09 |
| scotlfs | I mean when I upgraded heron to ibex via update manager | 15:09 |
| DeadPanda | Pelo: I just built the uvcvideo svn and replaced the module by hand -- it works a treat :) For future proofing it though, I really should make a DKMS package (maybe stick it on a PPA) | 15:09 |
| jrib | !version | mtozses_ | 15:09 |
| ubottu | mtozses_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 15:09 |
| Some_ux | jrib: cool, thanks | 15:09 |
| Pelo | DeadPanda, you are talking out of my range of expetise | 15:09 |
| Paddy_EIRE | maverick340: yes a clean install not an upgrade | 15:09 |
| scotlfs | this is one busy room..........is there a less populated channel to get support from ? | 15:10 |
| vdrfanni | Pelo, the server www.get-dev.net does not exist :( | 15:10 |
| aar | Hi, when I copy a Wingdings special character onto my clipboard (Kubuntu Hardy 8.04) and then paste it onto OOWriter it is displayed ok, but when I copy new elements and then open the clipboard list to retrieve that Wingdings character from the list, it is displayed as a ü (i.e. incorrectly). Any clues as to why? | 15:10 |
| maverick340 | Paddy_EIRE, okay , ty mate | 15:10 |
| Pelo | vdrfanni, hold on | 15:10 |
| maverick340 | ETA is 1hr so ill be back later on | 15:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | maverick340: sure ... get back to me when you can :) | 15:10 |
| DeadPanda | Pelo: that'd involve remembering my NickServ password ;) | 15:10 |
| jrib | scotlfs: dropped you down to what console? Regular tty that you can login to? | 15:10 |
| vdrfanni | Pelo, ok... | 15:10 |
| maverick340 | will do :-) | 15:10 |
| scotlfs | regular tty yes | 15:10 |
| Pelo | vdrfanni, http://www.getdeb.net/ | 15:10 |
| jrib | !who | scotlfs | 15:10 |
| DeadPanda | Pelo: thanks, though! | 15:10 |
| ubottu | scotlfs: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:10 |
| scotlfs | I am running on the ubutnu heron cd right now so I had a web browser :) | 15:10 |
| jrib | scotlfs: so it's just an X problem at this point? | 15:11 |
| ole_ | test | 15:11 |
| oz6oh | test | 15:11 |
| Pelo | ole_, fail | 15:11 |
| vdrfanni | Pelo, thx | 15:11 |
| ole_ | ole testing to oz6oh | 15:11 |
| Some_ux | jrib: The dsc file mentions the *.diff.gz file in the Files section. | 15:11 |
| orangey | hey all! | 15:12 |
| scotlfs | jrib: I am not sure what the problem is...Heron works fine, Ibex not....I can tell you I am using nvidia, and I believe I read somewhere there was a problem with the drivers, but I can't remember where I read that or which version it applied it | 15:12 |
| oz6oh | oz6oh testing to ole | 15:12 |
| orangey | I'm having a problem with my pulseaudio in that it always remembers one specific program (Xine) as being muted | 15:12 |
| jrib | Some_ux: should work then. Try it and see if the diff got applied :) | 15:12 |
| orangey | so I always have to go to the volume manager to specifically raise the volume of that one program. | 15:12 |
| Pelo | DeadPanda, there is also a contribute section on the ubuntu.com site, might want to look into that | 15:12 |
| orangey | what gives? | 15:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Pelo: any tips on removing disgusting gunk and dust from a clients computer I have here :S | 15:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Pelo: its nasty | 15:12 |
| orangey | I'm using the stock hardy pulseaudio | 15:12 |
| Pelo | Paddy_EIRE, household vaccum | 15:12 |
| jrib | scotlfs: you can login right? Just not with gdm? | 15:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Pelo: good thinking | 15:12 |
| Pelo | Paddy_EIRE, with that round brush | 15:12 |
| DeadPanda | Pelo: yeah, I'm on there now, the DKMS packaging guide on the wiki's largely indecipherable to me | 15:12 |
| === foobar_ is now known as Guest34029 | ||
| Paddy_EIRE | Pelo: yeah lol... that sounds like the job :) | 15:13 |
| scotlfs | jrib: correct, tty logon yes, gdm doesn't start....the ubuntu startup logo runs fun, but then dropped to a console logon at a normal tty | 15:13 |
| oz6oh | someone know the difference between cheese in ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 ? | 15:13 |
| aar | Hi, when I copy a Wingdings special character onto my clipboard (Kubuntu Hardy 8.04) and then paste it onto OOWriter it is displayed ok, but when I copy new elements and then open the clipboard list to retrieve that Wingdings character from the list, it is displayed as a ü (i.e. incorrectly). Any clues as to why? | 15:13 |
| Guest34029 | is there a ubuntu eee channel here somewhere? | 15:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | change the font in oo writer to wingdings? | 15:14 |
| jrib | scotlfs: ok. This will be easier to debug if you login on the install and use a text based irc client like irssi or weechat so that we can debug. Are you comfortable doing that? | 15:14 |
| Guest34029 | is there a ubuntu eee channel here somewhere? | 15:14 |
| oz6oh | i can't use cheese in my ubuntu 8.10 | 15:14 |
| scotlfs | jrib: and heron seems to run fine, its just ibex CD and upgrading to Ibex from heron that seems startx (or whatever the equivilent is these days), it not working whether due to device drivers or what not | 15:14 |
| legend2440 | Guest34029: #ubuntu-eeepc | 15:14 |
| Guest34029 | thanks legend2440 | 15:15 |
| scotlfs | jrib: I yes I am comfortable doing that, but I need to learn my way around ubuntu...its been quite some time since I used linux....I am however a past contributor to linux and linux from scratch and gnome during the 1.2 and 1.4 days | 15:15 |
| aar | Daisuke_Ido, yes, that would fix it, but why does the first clipbpoard entry remember the font, whilst the subsequent entries don't? | 15:15 |
| jrib | scotlfs: k, well once you get back in here on the install we can nudge you along :) | 15:16 |

| Cyber_Akuma | I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7413 Laptop, it's wifi hardware is listed as a Realtek RTL8187B. However, it appears to internally be wired through the USB bus instead of the PCI bus since Vista's device manager has "USB 2.0" at the end of the device's name. | 15:19 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Any ideas? | 15:19 |
| maxbaldwin | Cyber_Akuma: Delete the connection in the network manager, and reconnect it | 15:19 |
| Cyber_Akuma | tried that | 15:19 |
| emilien | NekroJakub, yes its right at home on gnome as well | 15:19 |
| maxbaldwin | you probably just need to redo the wireless key | 15:19 |
| Lykkefeen | Pelo: There is no restricted drivers listed at the admin panel section "Hardware Drivers" :( I will try the other suluion then :) | 15:19 |

| blip- | hi all, i've never dealt with multiple distros on the same machine... currently i have windows + ubuntu 8.04 dualboot managed by grub... i made space for a second linux distro... if i install that it will over-write the grub of my first ubuntu distro and it becomes the system boot manager right ? Is there any danger in having that ? | 15:27 |
| oz6oh | all with wine i get many troubles | 15:27 |
| emorris | Paddy_EIRE: same difference | 15:27 |

| legend2440 | CharelB: this might be better http://www.williambrownstreet.net/wordpress/?p=78 | 15:58 |
| CharelB | okay legend2440 | 15:58 |
| unimatrix9 | Cyber_Akuma , then its still on roaming, take a look at System / Administration /Networks | 15:58 |
| FreeFull | ian__: you're using Alsa or OSS? | 15:58 |
| NekroJakub | That's a good idea, thanks. | 15:58 |
| ian__ | mixer is listing both | 15:58 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Oh that | 15:58 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I had setup a profile for my wifi network | 15:59 |
| maverick340 | hey all | 15:59 |
| FreeFull | ian__: It probably means you've got Alsa with OSS emulation | 15:59 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Before, I was able to just select thei profile and it would connect | 15:59 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Now it no longer does, claimes the wep key is wrong | 15:59 |
| maverick340 | Paddy_EIRE, hey | 15:59 |
| eight_ | malaysia boleh!! | 15:59 |
| outbackwifi | !hi | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 15:59 |
| unimatrix9 | Cyber_Akuma , then try to set it with that manager , and see if it helps solve your problem, if not, you can change it back | 15:59 |
| spowney | hey guys, anyone know a program that can deal with .vhd files | 15:59 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I tried that | 15:59 |
| Cyber_Akuma | deleted it and re-creted it | 15:59 |
| unimatrix9 | ok | 15:59 |
| ian__ | HDA Intel / Realteck 1880 OSS | 15:59 |
| Cyber_Akuma | same problem, thinks wep key is invalid | 15:59 |
| maverick340 | how do you pipe or dump the directory structure to a text file ? | 16:00 |
| outbackwifi | spowney: what files are those? | 16:00 |
| === odracir34 is now known as MsiWindCruZer | ||
| ian__ | correction realteck alc880 oss | 16:00 |
| outbackwifi | spowney: like VHDL? | 16:00 |
| unimatrix9 | Cyber_Akuma, you also reset wireless router? | 16:00 |
| mikebeecham | Hi guys...does anyone know what causes the Green screen in the Cheese software? | 16:00 |
| Cyber_Akuma | no | 16:00 |
| FreeFull | maverick340: try ls -parametershere > file | 16:00 |
| spowney | outbackwifi: the file in question is a vista backup file, i used winimage in windows | 16:00 |
| Cyber_Akuma | The router is working fine, everything else connect to ti wired or wireless | 16:00 |
| Cyber_Akuma | connects* | 16:00 |
| spowney | outbackwifi: i understand the file type is used in virtual machine situations too | 16:01 |
| ian__ | Maverick340: ls > textfile.txt | 16:01 |
| dr_willis | mikebeecham, the pictures look slightly greenish? | 16:01 |
| FreeFull | ian__: ls by itself won't give the full directory structure | 16:01 |
| outbackwifi | spowney: if its a raw image, you can mount it on the loop device and inspect | 16:01 |
| droopsta915 | to edit the menu.lst do edit this in vi or something? | 16:01 |
| maverick340 | thank you | 16:01 |
| ian__ | what like the entire directory sturcture of everything? | 16:01 |
| FreeFull | droopsta915: doesn't matter what you edit it in. | 16:01 |
| KenSentMe | On startup in Intrepid, my system automaticly connects to the ifupdown (usb0) network connection. I use a regular ethernet connection so i created a new connection in the network manager. But still i have to manually choose that new connection. How can i delete the ipupdown connection or make it use my eth0? | 16:02 |
| Fran89 | can anybody tell me why interpid keeps my proccessor at <50% all the time | 16:02 |
| Fran89 | can anybody tell me why interpid keeps my proccessor at <50% all the time | 16:02 |
| unimatrix9 | Cyber_Akuma: may i ask what kind of webkey are you using, is this an hex or ascii? | 16:02 |
| droopsta915 | thanx | 16:02 |
| maverick340 | and is there way to recursively output the sub dirs also ? | 16:02 |
| ian__ | as root from / "ls -l -a * > textfile.txt" | 16:02 |
| Cyber_Akuma | this pc is connected to it wired and my Wii (which is online right now) is connected online through it wirelessly | 16:02 |
| qt-x | qt-x | 16:02 |
| Cyber_Akuma | To be honest, im not sure how to answer that | 16:02 |
| outbackwifi | Fran89: is that good or bad? | 16:02 |
| Cyber_Akuma | The key generated fro my passphraise appears to be 16bit hex since it goes from 1 to F | 16:03 |
| YlandeFaran | I installed ubuntu on my old computer, I could ssh to it no problem yesterday. | 16:03 |
| FreeFull | maverick340: man ;s | 16:03 |
| FreeFull | maverick340: man ls | 16:03 |
| unimatrix9 | Cyber_Akuma, no problem i was just trying to find the answer for you by asking some questions | 16:03 |
| YlandeFaran | but today, it takes like 20-30 seconds for the computer to even respond to a ssh-request | 16:03 |
| mikebeecham | dr_willis: nope...there is no webcam image..it's just flat green colour | 16:03 |
| maverick340 | FreeFull, thank you | 16:03 |
| outbackwifi | YlandeFaran: how far are they from each other (same LAN, or over internet) | 16:03 |
| YlandeFaran | outbackwifi: same lan | 16:04 |
| YlandeFaran | or, they are attached to the internets through a switch | 16:04 |
| YlandeFaran | but I would suspect the signals would go the shortest way through the switch, and not take any long detour. | 16:04 |
| outbackwifi | YlandeFaran: you can debug by giving a -vv to the ssh client command ; it might throsw up some more clue | 16:04 |
| outbackwifi | YlandeFaran: you can debug by giving a -vv to the ssh client command ; it might throw up some more clues | 16:04 |
| unimatrix9 | Cyber_Akuma, i dont know what the prblem is, you could ask again, to see if someone else knows, i would suggest you hang it on the cable for internet and install wicd network manager and try if that helps | 16:05 |
| unimatrix9 | !wicd | 16:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd | 16:05 |
| gsteinert | im having trouble getting ubuntu to recognise any cd/dvd | 16:05 |
| unimatrix9 | hold on | 16:05 |
| YlandeFaran | outbackwifi: okay, nice | 16:05 |
| outbackwifi | gsteinert: the drive or the disk? | 16:05 |
| gsteinert | the disk, if it is inserted before startup it is recognised and i can use it ormally | 16:05 |
| YlandeFaran | it seems to get stuck after this line: "debug2: key: /home/kc/.ssh/id_dsa ((nil))" | 16:05 |
| Cyber_Akuma | :( | 16:05 |
| Benalex | Hello all, I am trying to install ubuntu but partitioner doesn't detect any partitions or discs. Any suggestions? | 16:05 |
| gsteinert | but if i then remove and reinsert, it wont mount it | 16:06 |
| outbackwifi | YlandeFaran: are you using public key for auth or passphrase? | 16:06 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Alright then, I have another problem, with Xubuntu | 16:06 |
| outbackwifi | gsteinert: will it mount manually? | 16:06 |
| Cyber_Akuma | I can't get it to work or install | 16:06 |
| YlandeFaran | Don't know what that is. I have to enter my password to be able to get into the other computer. | 16:06 |
| outbackwifi | YlandeFaran: ok that means you dont use public key | 16:07 |
| gsteinert | outbackwifi: no i get | 16:07 |
| gsteinert | gary@uboat:~$ mount /dev/scd0 | 16:07 |
| gsteinert | mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 16:07 |

| unimatrix9 | Cyber_Akuma : you cant connect it to a wire? | 16:08 |
| rfxcasey | can anyone tell me how to display your home folder on the desktop | 16:08 |
| outbackwifi | did you do the dmesg? | 16:08 |

| NekroJakub | That's an awesome error. | 16:09 |
| outbackwifi | gsteinert: that seems to indicate that the disk has some read issues | 16:09 |
| gsteinert | but the disk is fine | 16:09 |
| outbackwifi | NekroJakub: bread could be BlockRead | 16:09 |
| gsteinert | i just used it on startup! | 16:09 |

| NekroJakub | outbackwifi : Nah, I'm pretty sure it's an awesome bread error. Don't ruin my dreams! >_< | 16:10 |
| outbackwifi | gsteinert: when it works normally, check dmesg to see if the same i/o errors turn up | 16:10 |
| gsteinert | okay, back in a minute then | 16:10 |
| outbackwifi | NekroJakub: that would only occur during the Cold War in the USSR :) | 16:10 |
| legend2440 | rfxcasey: in terminal type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible and put checkmarks next to icons you want visible on desktop | 16:10 |

| daedra | morpheus: or there are ways to remaster the iso to your configuration | 16:43 |
| fbc | Fran89, There were a number of issues with intrepid and my laptop causing me to switch back.. However, everything worh with just fine with my INTEL desktop with NVIDIA video card. | 16:43 |

| Brucevdk | leohartx: cleaning out cache files might at best make apt handle some actions faster, though this highly depends on how apt works. Cleaning your file system doesn't make things go faster (apart from defragmentation, wich using ext3 etc. is quite significantly less of a problem than under Windows), only running programs make your system "slower" in general. | 17:10 |
| tiredbones | We are using release 8.10 | 17:10 |
| leohartx | brucevdk, so, there's only 1 method to get rid of junk files is apt-get clean ? | 17:10 |
| King_Kickass | when I try to download the package libgnutls13 it sais: Package libgnutls13 has no available version, but exists in the database. | 17:10 |
| === Tiven_ is now known as Tiven | ||
| Brucevdk | leohartx: apt-get clean only cleans out cached Debian packages, depends on whether you regard that as junk. Removing packages with the --auto-remove switched and purging will delete a lot of common files regarded as "junk" | 17:11 |

| Brucevdk | leohartx: but this would only make sense if you're anal, since it has limited benifits (especially not making things "go faster") | 17:12 |

| outbackwifi | the_newbie: gtkpod, ffmpeg | 17:15 |

| leohartx | Brucevdk: there is no encryption for user's home ? | 17:18 |
| outbackwifi | Brucevdk: tx :) | 17:18 |
| Skry^ | nice handling :) | 17:18 |
| Brucevdk | leohartx: well, there can be, but by default no (new installer includes some options for encrypting a private folder) | 17:18 |

| ettore | .. | 17:19 |
| leohartx | Brucevdk: so, what will happen if i create an user with same name to my old /home/<username> ? | 17:19 |
| Brucevdk | leohartx: if you create users in the same order, it will basically "inherit" the rights (so it will be able to read/write to that folder). Take a look at /etc/passwd | 17:20 |

| outbackwifi | theGrowingNoise: check out g4u --> http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ | 17:30 |
| ncfi1013 | you mean Ubuntu Server | 17:30 |
| theGrowingNoise | Bruce: i haven't used it before | 17:30 |

| mudit | i want to remove reference of a command line compiler i installed, how to do it ? | 17:32 |
| Brucevdk | theGrowingNoise: I'd say yes, because I'd assume dd just writes over the bytes untill it's done | 17:32 |
| mudit | i hope it did make some sense | 17:32 |
| outbackwifi | mudit: what do you mean by reference? | 17:32 |
| ldiamond_ | NekroJakub, unetbootin isnt made to install from your current main internal HDD. | 17:32 |
| theGrowingNoise | Brucevdk: thanks, i'll give it a try | 17:32 |
| ldiamond_ | outbackwifi, whats the recommended way? | 17:32 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: sudo apt-get remove firefox | 17:33 |
| ldiamond_ | NekroJakub, use a USB stick | 17:33 |
| ldiamond_ | outbackwifi, Yes I did that, firefox still works | 17:33 |
| NekroJakub | ldiamond_ : Good idea, I love the idea of a USB Live Ubuntu | 17:33 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: you mean it is still installed or the current working instance is present? | 17:33 |

| wyl | LordMetroid, which game do you play in ubuntu? | 17:40 |
| LordMetroid | 8.04 is somewhat more sluggish than 6.10 but I can live with it | 17:40 |

| Deceiver | I mean I can run all of the software on both | 18:14 |
| Deceiver | right? | 18:14 |
| Deceiver | is Kubuntu more optimized and stuff? | 18:14 |

| fumbduck | hey guys, i recently upgraded to intrepid and now my mdadm based raid 1 /dev/md0 cant be found. its mounted at / so my system isnt booting :-( | 18:18 |
| gravemind | onetb: it displays system informations | 18:18 |
| jrib | Deceiver: doesn't really matter. They're the same. One with kde by default, the other with gnome by default. You can install gnome on kubuntu or kde on ubuntu and try both that way | 18:18 |
| grobda24 | Deceiver, Ubuntu / Gnome is a much simpler user interface if you don't use all the extra addons of KDE (good as those are). | 18:19 |
| jrib | gravemind: restarted gdm after the changes? | 18:19 |
| depape | where can i ask questions about the wireless-kernel project? what is the correct channel? | 18:19 |
| jrib | onetb: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you | 18:19 |

| fumbduck | i tried using the live cd in rescue mode and when it got to teh point where it asked for teh root disk i selected md0 and it said it couldnt find it | 18:19 |
| gravemind | jrib: I didn't make changes -- they were correctly set from the beginning. But I can restart gdm if you think it would help | 18:19 |
| jrib | gravemind: nope, wouldn't matter | 18:19 |
| onetb | jrib: I know, but i often have issues even breaking into the room at all | 18:19 |

| Bupsss | hello | 18:20 |
| onetb | when I have conky running on the desktop (not in a separate window), the icons on my desktop flicker intermittently | 18:20 |
| riddlebox | Luks911, still no wireless | 18:20 |
| Bupsss | does anybody knows why the webcam works in amsn and not on skype? | 18:20 |
| jrib | onetb: did you read the conky faq, I think I may have read about something like that | 18:20 |
| hddss | any help ? | 18:20 |
| TQuid | Hi folks. Easy one, I hope: is it still necessary to install from the alternate CD to set up RAID1? | 18:20 |
| benanzo | NetworkManager does not re-scan wireless networks automatically after suspend/resume | 18:20 |

| Michael___ | how do i tell apt-get to get program dependicies? | 18:21 |
| outbackwifi | TQuid: yes | 18:21 |
| tobywuk | Bupsss, try going into skype pref's and setting the webcam you want to use in that | 18:21 |
| jrib | Michael___: it does that automatically | 18:21 |
| TQuid | Michael___: it normally does that automatically. | 18:21 |
| rhavenw | hi, is there a way to boot a live cd from an external harddrive? | 18:21 |
| Michael___ | not mine | 18:21 |
| LjL | Michael___: you don't need to, it just does it | 18:21 |
| jrib | Michael___: pastebin | 18:21 |
| Bupsss | tobywuk, i did, but i see white noise | 18:21 |
| TQuid | outbackwifi: Thanks! is that documented anywhere? | 18:21 |
| riddlebox | outbackwifi, any other ideas? | 18:21 |
| benanzo | it just shows old networks from where ever I was when I suspended | 18:21 |
| tobywuk | Bupsss, not sure then soz | 18:21 |
| outbackwifi | riddlebox: what was your prob again? | 18:21 |
| LjL | Michael___: if it doesn't then it's because it can find them, pastebin both the output of it and the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:21 |
| Lisa1 | i just tryed to restart computer to see if that would help, but it didn't, I am trying to install XPLuna.tar.gz and when I try it fails with error: Can not move directory over directory | 18:21 |
| benanzo | I've waited up to 5 minutes for it to refresh, but nothing | 18:21 |
| Michael___ | it says: depends: xxx but it is not going to be installed | 18:22 |
| TQuid | Lisa1: When you say "install", what command are you giving? | 18:22 |
| benanzo | I have to manually unload/reload the wifi module or restart NetworkManager for it to rescan | 18:22 |
| arooni | while running rdiff backup i see: ListError .dbus [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/chasetoys/.dbus' (also for ~/.rnd) .... i am running it as a cronjob on a non root user account... should i change that? or should i not worry about these errors as theres only about 16 of them, and most of them have to do with nagios. | 18:22 |
| LjL | Michael___: then there's a dependency conflict, and saying "xxx" won't help us diagnosing it | 18:22 |
| onetb | jrib: i have not done much research, i just noticed the issue. | 18:22 |
| jmks | hello | 18:22 |
| outbackwifi | TQuid: a correction to that; you can still use livecd and install mdadm. heres how --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 | 18:22 |
| jrib | onetb: take a look at the conky faq | 18:22 |

| outbackwifi | Lisa1: i would click on install theme and point it to the tar.gz | 18:24 |
| TQuid | Ah, I see. Still need alternate to install but you can access raid with the livecd with a package install. Makes sense. | 18:24 |

| Lisa1 | outbackwifi: same error message | 18:24 |
| ldiamond_ | How do I see what failed during boot time? (its too quick for me to read). Is there a log somewhere? | 18:25 |
| LjL | ubuntu_: i think it should... unless the partition table is garbled perhaps | 18:25 |
| outbackwifi | Lisa1: maybe the tarball is corrupt; open it in file-roller and see | 18:25 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: dmesg|less | 18:25 |
| TQuid | ldiamond_: dmesg | less may get . . . heh. | 18:25 |

| storm-zen | I have a problem with sound since upgrading from gutsy. ( It wasn't direct, and ultimately involved wiping out the old OS and installing Intrepid fresh. ) -- but my sound is sometimes almost all static, sometimes crystal clear. Anyone seen this? | 18:25 |
| basso_ | is it possible to put up a PXE server that boots any choosen ISO? | 18:26 |
| outbackwifi | Lisa1: thats the gnome archiver; just double click and it will launch it | 18:26 |

| Deceiver | Wow Kubuntu looks smoother and cooler :D | 18:26 |
| yme | outbackwifi, I want to grant ssh access to a friend of mine to my linux server. I created a user, I open my ssh port, I copied his public key under his ~/.ssh and cat >> into authorized_keys. When he tries to login, he can see my welcome message but then he gets permission denied | 18:26 |
| TQuid | basso_: in brief, yes. | 18:26 |
| Lisa1 | outbackwifi: seems fine | 18:26 |
| TQuid | Wait, i think I am lying. | 18:26 |
| TQuid | You'll have to unspool the ISO into a filesystem. | 18:26 |
| dariorossini | hello | 18:26 |
| storm-zen | I hate it when that happens, TQuid. ;) | 18:26 |
| mcphail | Bupsss: you may need a workaround to run the webcam in skype | 18:26 |
| TQuid | pxeboot relies on nfs, and nfs can't export a loopback-mounted device. | 18:26 |
| basso_ | Unspool ISO to filesystem? :O | 18:26 |
| ldiamond_ | TQuid, outbackwifi I dont see it. | 18:26 |
| TQuid | I tried it just yesterday. | 18:26 |
| basso_ | woot.. | 18:27 |
| outbackwifi | yme: what shell have you given him? you can check in /etc/passwd | 18:27 |
| basso_ | anyone got a tutorial for that? :P | 18:27 |

| donald | Just installed Belkin Vision wireless router. Question about the MAC address list. If I list only one MAC address are all others excluded? Does it act like security? | 18:27 |
| TQuid | basso_: yeah, either copy the files off a mounted CD, or do a "mount -oloop blahblah.iso /mnt/place" and copy from there. | 18:27 |
| outbackwifi | donald: yes | 18:27 |
| donald | Great. Thanks | 18:27 |
| yme | /bin/bash | 18:27 |
| TQuid | You *could* pxeboot off a real mounted CD, but that would presumably defeat the purpose. | 18:28 |
| yme | outbackwifi, I gave him /bin/bash | 18:28 |
| LjL | Michael___: there are a few. the URLs for all of them are archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com | 18:28 |
| outbackwifi | donald: its an access control list; some routers also have a inversion feature i.e only deny this mac | 18:28 |
| TQuid | basso_: that make sense yet? | 18:28 |
| basso_ | ah okay TQuid, do you know a tutorial for setting up a PXE server? :P | 18:28 |
| outbackwifi | yme: can you ssh in from your machine as that user? ssh user@localhost | 18:28 |
| tobywuk | tobywuk: test | 18:28 |
| TQuid | Hmm. Not offhand but I bet I could find one. You'll need dhcp, nfs, and tftp-server running. | 18:28 |

| LjL | X3: please don't | 18:29 |
| X3 | swhy | 18:29 |
| gammy | jadams_: dmesg would be a good start. | 18:29 |
| LjL | X3: this channel is for support questions and answers, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic might be appropriate | 18:29 |
| yme | outbackwifi, I guess I should login as him? | 18:30 |
| jadams_ | gammy, http://pastie.org/310233 | 18:30 |
| X3 | it may benefit UBUNTU as well | 18:30 |

| yme | outbackwifi, I get permission denied | 18:30 |
| gammy | jadams_: I didn't say *I* wanted it. :| | 18:30 |
| jadams_ | gammy, fair :) | 18:30 |
| jadams_ | and sorry | 18:30 |
| yme | outbackwifi I get Permission denied (publickey) | 18:30 |
| gammy | jadams_: Anyway, that message is pretty clear is it not? | 18:30 |
| LjL | X3: this is nevertheless a support channel, not a channel for announcements. if you want to talk about open source projects, #ubuntu-offtopic will actually most likely find a more attentive audience to that | 18:31 |
| ubuntu_ | TQuid: howcome it says WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. then? | 18:31 |

| TQuid | ubuntu_: huh, that's a new one on me. I'm afraid I don't know what GUID Partition Tables are. Maybe google that. | 18:31 |

| embrik | my usb devices won't mount - can anyone help? | 18:34 |
| LjL | depape: -proposed is not backports | 18:34 |

| gammy | jadams_: Please continue reading. "The list above does not imply that all those devices work with this driver.." | 18:35 |
| depape | LjL: but how can i get the very very very latest version of linux-backports-modules-generic? | 18:35 |

| Walex3 | NekroJakub: that's a BIOS question... | 18:36 |
| buntoow | NekroJakub--> 1st, you have to set your bios to boot from USB as the 1st priority, | 18:36 |
| * outbackwifi needs a lunchpad now | 18:36 | |
| gammy | jadams_: Webcam stuff is a bitch. The vendors always ship the same looking cameras with multiple hardware inside and never make any information available. | 18:36 |
| depape | LjL: so i must have missed this "new version" of backports-generic | 18:36 |
| NekroJakub | Walex3: it is connected with Ubuntu, right? Besides, who to ask than liberated Linux geeks. :P | 18:36 |
| LjL | depape: a new version of the ath5k driver, or of linux-backports? | 18:36 |
| NekroJakub | buntoow: I did that, it now goes CDROM -> USB-FDD -> Hard Drive | 18:37 |
| outbackwifi | embrik: what does your /etc/fstab say; normally theres an auto in the line for the disk | 18:37 |
| sharperguy | I'm having compatibility issues between opengl graphics (eg: games), possibly sdl, and compiz again since upgrading to intrepid | 18:37 |
| buntoow | NekroJakub--> 1st, you have to set your bios to boot from USB as the 1st priority, thats not the same as what you just pasted | 18:37 |
| yme | outbackwifi, whoops, it appears authorized_keys was owned by me :-) | 18:37 |
| depape | LjL: of the ath5k driver which comes from linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic (as far was i know) | 18:37 |
| PeskyJ | is it not possible to reassign C: in wine? | 18:37 |
| outbackwifi | yme: there you go :) | 18:37 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> look in the wine configs? | 18:37 |
| NekroJakub | buntoow: But I don't have any CD in my drive so it should skip the CD and boot up the stick... Still, well, I'll try. | 18:37 |
| yme | outbackwifi, thanks, he can connect now | 18:38 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, when I click the C:, the location box is greyed out | 18:38 |
| yme | herb, thanks | 18:38 |
| LjL | depape, the ath5k driver doesn't "come from" linux-backports... it comes from whoever writes that driver. one thing is a new version of the driver being out, another thing is the Ubuntu packagers actually packaging it | 18:38 |
| herb | yme: you're welcome | 18:38 |
| outbackwifi | yme: you would do well to disable passphrase auth in the config | 18:38 |
| scotlfs | HELP, ok let me start from the beginning since it looks like the person who was helping me earlier is gone. I can install Heron, but Ibex doesn't open an X display, neither gdm nor straight X from RL3. I have nvidia SLI cards I think they are 7900 or something. gdm starts and runs, but no display. X logs show "No Device Found" as last line. I downloaded the latest drivers from nv.com, and compiled them, but I still don't get a display with Ib | 18:38 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> did you ever try to look in the wine configs? | 18:38 |
| PeskyJ | binarydigit, I'm running the "Wine configuration" tool, in the "drives" tab. | 18:39 |

| outbackwifi | scotlfs: did you add the driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 18:39 |
| yme | herb, which option would that be? | 18:39 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, um, that was meant for you :) | 18:39 |

| scotlfs | outbackwifi: yes, I tried all sorts of things, including disabling glx, which helped me take a step closer to getting a gui (i.e. I get the ubuntu progress bar trying to startx), but I finally get dropped into tty anyway | 18:40 |
| outbackwifi | yme: #PasswordAuthentication yes to No | 18:40 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> look at ~/.wine/dosdevices/ | 18:40 |
| outbackwifi | scotlfs: can you pastebin your xorg.conf ? | 18:41 |

| buntoow | ldiamond_--> if wifi is disabled why do you expect the utils to detect such? | 18:41 |
| LjL | depape: can you confirm it's in main please so i can search for it more easily? "apt-cache policy linux-backports-whateveritscalled" should tell you | 18:42 |
| scotlfs | outbackwifi: last time I used linux was in the gnome-1.4 days | 18:42 |
| outbackwifi | scotlfs: its actually as easy as cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit | 18:42 |
| depape | LjL: okay, just wait a moment | 18:42 |
| scotlfs | ok | 18:42 |
| LjL | depape: also look at the installed version number | 18:42 |
| ldiamond_ | buntoow, I dont expect it to detect it when its disabled, I expect it to detect it once I enable it even if I'm already in ubuntu, and not have to restart. | 18:42 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, ahh, so I can just change those symlinks to point elsewhere? | 18:43 |
| scotlfs | outbackwifi: pastbinit > command not found | 18:43 |
| scotlfs | outbackwifi: is there something I need to apt-get? | 18:43 |
| outbackwifi | scotlfs: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 18:43 |
| LjL | depape: i might have found it in -proposed, anyway | 18:43 |
| depape | LjL: is this? (500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Package) the line you mean? | 18:43 |
| LjL | depape: yes it is. tell me also the installed version | 18:43 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> to the correct mapping | 18:44 |
| depape | LjL: it sais 2.6.27.7.11 and candidate 2.6.27.7.11 (same) | 18:44 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, can I get wine to automount sdb and sdc whenever it starts and map c: and d: to them? | 18:44 |
| scotlfs | outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/f25f177dc | 18:44 |
| buntoow | ldiamond_--> when you restart or start wicd it should read interfaces file and act accordingly | 18:44 |
| depape | LjL: version history gives: *** 2.6.27.7.11 0 | 18:44 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, I'm new to linux desktop environments, so never used xwindows or wine before :) | 18:45 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> if you make those symlinks correspond to what you wanted, i say yeah | 18:45 |
| scotlfs | outbackwifi: and honestly if I can get an x session running, I believe I can figure out the rest | 18:45 |
| OddlotX4 | Good question for you guys. What program can recover data from a formatted NTFS drive? | 18:45 |
| scotlfs | outbackwifi: mate, I have to go AFK...I am afraid....will you be on for a little while? I am making my kids lunch | 18:45 |
| LjL | depape: ok, there is 2.6.27-8.17 in -proposed, let me dig it up (i'd rather you install it manually rather than enabling the whole -proposed repository, which is a bit risky) | 18:45 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> severe your ties from windows then, why even continue with wine? | 18:45 |
| ldiamond_ | buntoow, The problem is that when I boot my laptop with WIFI disabled, then enable it. Even if I restart wicd, it will not detect my (now activated) wifi. | 18:45 |
| outbackwifi | scotlfs: its already 12:15 am where i am at | 18:45 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, any idea why I can't change that from the GUI configuration tool? I'm a bit scared of messing with stuff that's potentially auto-maintained | 18:46 |
| buntoow | ldiamond_--> what do you mean enabled it ? | 18:46 |
| depape | LjL: thats what i was looking for :> i just dont know how to install 2.6.27.8.17 :/ | 18:46 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: network-manager does that automatically for me | 18:46 |

| rhavenw | outbackwifi: sorry, what i want to do is similar to a liveUSB, but instead of using a flash drive i use an external hard drive | 18:48 |
| depape | LjL: i dont know how to find out the binary package, sorry | 18:48 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: didnt the default network manager in ibex work? | 18:48 |
| LjL | depape: instead, add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-proposed main restricted | 18:48 |
| buntoow | ldiamond_--> perhaps I need to understand your meaning of activated wifi, what is your definition of that? | 18:48 |
| ldiamond_ | outbackwifi, I had troubles with it | 18:48 |
| outbackwifi | rhavenw: thats quite possible i guess if that external drive is usb | 18:48 |
| LjL | depape: it's the package name that you typed when you did "apt-cache policy" | 18:48 |
| erle- | where does gnome save the passwords? | 18:48 |
| outbackwifi | erle-: keyring | 18:49 |

| erle- | outbackwifi, i mean, in what files? | 18:49 |
| depape | LjL: so its linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic | 18:49 |
| rhavenw | outbackwifi: there are a set of different steps i have to follow i believe | 18:49 |
| erle- | i what to port them from one installation to another | 18:49 |
| ldiamond_ | buntoow, My laptop (as mostly all of them) has a switch for wireless. When I boot, the wireless is OFF by default. Once in ubuntu, I press Fn+F11 and this activates the wireless (its a hardware switch). | 18:49 |
| LjL | depape: ok so 1) add that line, 2) "sudo apt-get update", 3) "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic" | 18:49 |

| Lisa1 | can somebody tell me wher I can find the folder containing the themese? | 18:50 |
| scotlfs | outbackwifi: I can do that | 18:50 |
| buntoow | ldiamond_--> you definition of activate is not quite correct yet... a hardware requires a driver, both of them working makes it active..just having a hw on does not make it active..you follow me? | 18:51 |
| outbackwifi | scotlfs: if you turned off that auto mode select in xorg.conf it might help | 18:51 |
| outbackwifi | solexious: lspci | grep net | 18:51 |
| abbas | i want thes programs hacker ubuntu | 18:51 |
| LjL | tsrk_: network-manager handles that, you should set static addressing from the GNOME network settings if you want them to stick, not in /etc/network/interfaces | 18:51 |
| kennnn | i am having problems with the MBR. when i load grub my windows xp doesnt work, when i restore ntldr then ubuntu doesnt work... they are partioned on the same drive....... PLEASE HELP | 18:51 |

| maverick340 | how do i install OpenOffice 3.0 ? | 18:52 |
| buntoow | ldiamond_--> that is the point, it requires the combination of hw and sw to make it truly active, not just one of them | 18:52 |
| maverick340 | i have the deb.tar.gz | 18:52 |
| kennnn | HELLO anyone | 18:53 |

| ldiamond_ | buntoow, I know that and I want it to automatically load the drivers when I power it on. I dont want to have to restart. | 18:53 |
| buntoow | ldiamond_--> so callin your interface active without both working, is not quite accurate | 18:53 |

| storm-zen | Anyone have a current pulseaudio guide for ubuntu intrepid? | 19:07 |
| kittyhawk | buntoow: the package thinks it's installed properly. | 19:07 |
| buntoow | kittyhawk--> so what went wrong? | 19:07 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, ok, I don't see anything that looks like HAL or drive manager or volume manager (just the audio volume control) | 19:07 |
| Clockswork | droopsta915, install mplayer and then use this command "mplayer *path to mp3* | 19:07 |
| csilk | lavacano201014, that sounds like an odd setup | 19:07 |
| outbackwifi | scotlfs: you need to specify the busid since you have two cards | 19:07 |
| lavacano201014 | csilk: It's just how my KVM switch works... | 19:08 |

| jordo2323 | MnemonicPunk, I don't think it's because of Emerald themes, | 19:08 |
| kittyhawk | buntoow: I'm not sure. the machine crashed when it was upgrading, but then I ran a command to fix it (apt-get dist-upgrade -a or something) which I thought did fix it. | 19:08 |
| Clockswork | heret1c, should the GPU be 40 in idle? | 19:08 |
| droopsta915 | Clockswork:if i use music rhythm player would it be "that player" *the mp3 i want*? | 19:08 |
| kittyhawk | buntoow: but now I'm just realizing that there's pieces of the kernel missing (sound modules, in particular) | 19:08 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, only see gnome-mount as a related thing... the man page for that says it's a back-end but doesn't say what the front-end is | 19:09 |
| MnemonicPunk | jordo2323: Not sure, it looks like those bugs that emerald caused when it was new. But I have working window decorations programs when it happens. | 19:09 |
| Clockswork | droopsta915, no, If you wanna play music/video via the terminal, use mplayer | 19:09 |

| buntoow | kittyhawk--> oh, so yeah maybe try what i suggest, im hoping it would cure it..i honestly suggest to people to do a fresh install instead of upgrade because of lil quirks like this that can make your system unusable | 19:10 |

| PeskyJ | buntoow, I found that there's something called HAL which manages desktop mounting, but can't find how to configure it | 19:12 |
| heret1c | Clockswork: I'm no expert on the issue, but it sounds normal. | 19:12 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: look in /etc/acpi/events | 19:12 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> with the current set-up its not mapping the drives correctly? | 19:13 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow, well I have to manually mount the drives from the command line first | 19:13 |

| Brucevdk | buntoow: :) I think that's cp -a (but it's irrelevant for my issue anyways :) | 19:14 |
| Clockswork | droopsta915, if you wanna play a whole directory of songs, lets say Offspring, and the folder is in my Home/Music folder | 19:14 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> you can try lshal to show you what it sees, I forget how kernel passes the info if its hal or sysfs to set those uuids and devices | 19:14 |
| ldiamond_ | outbackwifi, thats a folder, it contains lots of files that seem completely unrelated to my issue. How do I know whats the right file? | 19:14 |
| Clockswork | droopsta915, the command would be "mplayer /Music/Offspring/*.mp3" | 19:14 |

Often times windows such as the appearance windows and others are clipped off at the bottom and I can't access those buttons. How might I shrink the window or access those buttons? (Gnome, Hardy eee) | 19:16 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: mine is called eeepc-wifi-toggle.sh | 19:16 |
| Brucevdk | buntoow: ah yes, -a is shorthand for -dpR. But I misread the command you stated: I saw it as -p f1 (f1 as an argument to p) | 19:16 |
| jordo2323 | MnemonicPunk, I hear ya, but it sure is ANNOYING! | 19:16 |
| buntoow | heret1c--> look in /etc/udev/rules.d for the usb rules of your devices | 19:16 |
| ldiamond_ | outbackwifi, all the files there are for laptops other than mine. Is there a way to see which one is executed when I press the switch ? | 19:16 |
| heret1c | buntoow: right... | 19:17 |
| MnemonicPunk | jordo2323: You could make some gconf workaround if you want to. Compiz has a setting that tells it what the resctrictions for window positions are. Edit that so it just can't pop under your top panel. =) | 19:17 |
| buntoow | Brucevdk--> okay, i missed it too, i can only direct help to man pages as i can not remember them myself | 19:17 |
| ImBrian | Okay, so ubottu (a bot) says "please see above" - I've been searching. How do I search / file bugs? | 19:17 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: if you do a tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal and then press the switch, it should spew some debug messages out | 19:18 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> the current settings you have does not provide the current mapping of drives? | 19:18 |
| ldiamond_ | outbackwifi, Ill test it out, thx | 19:19 |
| jordo2323 | MnemonicPunk, Unless it's an easier fix, I will wait like you :) Not that I wouldn't attempt it, but that may cause another issue down the road | 19:19 |
| outbackwifi | ldiamond_: yw | 19:19 |
| PeskyJ | buntoow: does HAL have a config tool? | 19:19 |

| peleg | I've used these instructions: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Altering_or_Creating_Keyboard_Maps | 19:36 |
| fosco__ | admin_masu3701: close any other package manager (adept, synaptic, update-manager...) | 19:36 |
| outbackwifi | riddlebox: use the kernel at array.org this is optimized for eeepc | 19:36 |
| MTeck | I'm trying to bring a cli system to just enough to have openbox running using xdm login... I installed xdm, xinit, and startx. When I try to use startx I'm getting the error exec: 5: /usr/bin/X11/X: not found - what else do I need to install? | 19:36 |

| outbackwifi | Meshach: im glad you did | 19:38 |
| Meshach | outbackwifi: Thanks again, and I'll talktoyou later. | 19:38 |
| NTAuthority | buntoow: in case it's a command line windowed application, yes | 19:38 |
| buntoow | PeskyJ--> if not that, x11vnc i think allows that to happen | 19:38 |

| karol | how hack IP?? | 19:41 |

| MTeck | NTAuthority: just xrdb - idk if it matters really, but I don't like errors | 19:46 |
| buntoow | paul68 for one, you need to have your sshd server to listen above port 1024 and modify the rules to specify that port to be allowed in | 19:46 |
| broonsparrow | i'm trying to boot to a liveCD - that did work fine, now it's opening BusyBox and has a initramfs prompt...any ideas why? | 19:47 |
| NTAuthority | MTeck: x11-xserver-utils contains the package, usually some application should have that as dependency if it's needed | 19:47 |
| RickZilla | winferno: No, a movie file | 19:47 |
| RickZilla | Not sure what kind yet | 19:47 |

| winferno | RickZilla: I've used ffmpeg to convert .png files to an h264 video. | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | RickZilla: it'd make a gif with animations, you could maybe use avidemux and add them there then make a video | 19:48 |
| RickZilla | ActionParsnip and winferno: Thanks for the advice, I'll look into both of those | 19:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | just wondering if it is possible to change resolution or decrease text size when working in cli only or am i stuck with the default look? | 19:49 |

| storm-zen | pasuspender madplay mp3file.mp3 still results in very static-like playback. Yet, this morning it was working fine, until it just became static in the middle of playing an mp3 file. | 19:49 |
| MTeck | NTAuthority: hurray :D - thanks much | 19:49 |
| RickZilla | winferno: Is that available in synaptic? | 19:49 |
| MTeck | NTAuthority: I'm gonna reboot and see if it comes up right away | 19:49 |
| storm-zen | I think it works again after hibernating, but sometimes hibernating dies too, so that's not a good way to test it. | 19:49 |
| |neon| | i set up my desktop settings and everything looks ok, however when i reboot i loose my settings everytime, i tried session settings without luck, any suggestions thanks | 19:49 |

| nickrud | Bupsss, I'd recommend saving your $HOME, using !clone to save your package install, any changes to /etc , and reinstall | 19:57 |
| ribatejo | you should see something like eth0 somewhere | 19:57 |
| winferno | BillSamJohnson: If you have a desktop, it's under 'accessories' | 19:57 |

| ubottu | Frogging101: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 20:00 |
| winferno | BillSamJohnson: Are you coming from a Windows world? | 20:00 |
| BillSamJohnson | yes | 20:00 |
| Enissa1 | ribatejo: $ sudo mount /media/My\ Book\ II/ ==> mount: can't find /media/My Book II/ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 20:00 |
| ribatejo | ActionParsnip: cool, when I get old with time to learn better openbox, I will use it too..now don't have time to explan to my daughter how to .. | 20:00 |
| dingupenguin | would it be ae good to let it update while im at work? | 20:00 |
| Frogging101 | okay, ill get it | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | alan__: you may want to configure your resolution | 20:00 |
| nickrud | Bupsss, I've done both, and prefer the reinstall. Prevents any residual configs from the prev release possibly creating subtle bugs in the new | 20:00 |
| ribatejo | Enissa1: you don't use \ | 20:00 |
| winferno | BillSamJohnson: I always do that too. 'if' is for 'interface'.. so does that work? | 20:01 |
| ribatejo | use / | 20:01 |
| nickrud | Bupsss, and they take about the same amount of time | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ribatejo: once its all setup, you dont need much know how | 20:01 |
| alan__ | how do i get rid of ati drivers? | 20:01 |

| BillSamJohnson | ok,, it has showed some text | 20:01 |
| ribatejo | ActionParsnip: problem is find time alone to setup :) | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | alan__: how did you install them? | 20:01 |

| fiXXXerMet | Hi everyone. Just added an Intel Pro/1000 GT to my Ubuntu 8.10 server and disabled the onboard NIC through the bios. lspci shows the device as a 82541PI, but ifconfig doesn't list the device - there is no eth0. Any ideas? | 20:01 |
| fr500 | hi | 20:01 |
| ribatejo | 3 kids and wife and things change | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ribatejo: doesnt take too long | 20:02 |
| Enissa1 | ribatejo: i push TAB and he add it automatically | 20:02 |
| Bupsss | i'm just scared to lose all the settings | 20:02 |
| winferno | BillSamJohnson: Like, DSL router, etc? | 20:02 |
| fr500 | I did a mediaserver on an 8.10 box I share files with smb | 20:02 |
| BillSamJohnson | I order 5 IPs with my server: one it the server IP, one is KVM, and the three left are 'usable; | 20:02 |
| fr500 | reading from the server is pretty fast | 20:02 |
| Frogging101 | ActionParsnip: What do you do with it after you get it? | 20:02 |
| fr500 | but writing....it's terrible | 20:02 |
| fr500 | any ideas? | 20:02 |
| rickystyx | Hello all. | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Frogging101: gksudo envyng-gtk | 20:02 |
| hubar | blackbox and fluxbox, which one is better? | 20:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Frogging101: then read the screen | 20:03 |
| nickrud | versus, just backing up your .purple dir in your home should backup all your pidgin settings | 20:03 |
| winferno | BillSamJohnson: Oh, so you just need to set the ethernet interface IP to an address you already have? | 20:03 |
| MTecknology | crap... who was giving me answers earlier? | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | hubar: neither is better, neith is gnome better or worse. Its all individual | 20:03 |
| versus | thanks nickrud | 20:03 |
| ribatejo | Enissa1: sometimes computer is stupid do sudo mount /media/My/Book/II/ | 20:03 |
| hubar | and openbox. | 20:03 |
| hubar | ActionParsnip: Metacity is certainly better. :) | 20:03 |
| BillSamJohnson | winferno: would it be one of the three usable ones or the one that is th ip of the server | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | hubar: i love fluxbox, millions would say the same, millions would say openbox was better | 20:03 |
| NotADJ | Is there a Liun Comic generator? | 20:04 |
| NotADJ | Linux* | 20:04 |
| Dabbleh | anyone got a Windows XP Home Edition ISO? | 20:04 |
| nickrud | hubar, between those two? whether or not you've configured either to taste. They are extremely customizable | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hubar: better and best are indiviual, so your question is moot | 20:04 |
| ribatejo | I tried more userfrindly tinyme and was great | 20:04 |
| MTecknology | Can somebody scroll back and see who was helping me last? | 20:04 |
| Brucevdk | hubar: are there really millions using either? :-) | 20:04 |
| ribatejo | Dabbleh: r u a lawyer? | 20:04 |
| BillSamJohnson | winferno: i am guessing it is one of the three usable ones but not sure | 20:05 |

| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 20:05 |
| winferno | BillSamJohnson: I'm a little confused when you say 'one', but I think at this point I think you should identify which interface you're interested. Ethernet is usually eth0 eth1, etc. | 20:05 |
| ribatejo | :) | 20:05 |
| LjL | MTecknology: ntauthority | 20:05 |
| Frogging101 | ActionParsnip: I put that in the terminal, but it didn't say anything on the screen | 20:05 |
| nickrud | MTecknology, he's gone | 20:05 |
| hubar | Brucevdk: I doubt it. But you should be asking ActionParsnip . :) | 20:05 |
| MTecknology | nickrud: couls you please tell me the packages he told me to install? I didn't have my profile setup yet so my logs are gone | 20:06 |

| lashi | it seems that swfdec is installed by default, and even though I install nonfree, it doesn't make it default | 20:43 |
| chrisorange2 | CasperOrillian, on english ? | 20:43 |

| Snoopy_ | that's a good place to start then | 20:44 |
| SnarkyTwit | Hi folks | 20:44 |
| lashi | now that's a symlink that points via another symlink in /etc/alternatives to the swfdec player | 20:45 |
| Snoopy_ | there is official documentation there, plus a lot of community documentation that is very informative and accurate | 20:45 |
| lashi | that seems to be the issue anxiolytic | 20:45 |
| billybigrigger | BZWingZero, sudo nano /etc/networking/interfaces | 20:45 |
| billybigrigger | BZWingZero, /etc/network/interfaces | 20:45 |
| lashi | when I installed flashplugin-nonfree, it simply extracts libflashplugin.so into /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree | 20:45 |
| lashi | but it doesn't acutlaly make a symlink!!! | 20:45 |

| Snoopy_ | pesky it goes in order of controller number | 20:46 |
| dingupenguin | anyone have asus p5n-sli? | 20:46 |
| symons | so my external hdd (ntfs) just randomly unmounted. I'm not really confortable using the mount command but thought there should be a way to "auto mount" the drive again, much like what happens when you initially plug the hdd into the usb port. Anyone know how? | 20:46 |

| chrisorange2 | can you commend me some usefull tools for informatic student beginners :) | 20:46 |

| BZWingZero | sorry, pressed up by accident, disregard | 20:47 |
| lap | someone have intrepid ibex here ? | 20:47 |
| PeskyJ | Snoopy_: yeah, SATA | 20:47 |
| Snoopy_ | you mean you just plugged the cable into a different slot, right? | 20:47 |
| lashi | but anxiolytic, the problem is that there's a symlink to the alternative flashplayer in that directory | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lap: most of us | 20:47 |
| BZWingZero | billybigrigger: I opened that but the only interfaces listed are loopback and eth0 | 20:47 |
| lashi | and when I go to load the flashplayer, it simply loads the swfdec | 20:47 |
| lashi | !!! | 20:47 |
| SnarkyTwit | I do | 20:47 |
| anxiolytic | I'm using nspluginwrapper installed from SVN .. does Intrepid have this version in the repo? This is important because 1.1.0 restarts the flash plugin if it crashes, the older ones just display a gray box until I restart FF | 20:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | on one of my boxes im logged to f1+f2 but i wish to ssh to it from my main comp and be able to access those screen, how do i go about doing so? | 20:47 |

| Snoopy_ | Pesky: i believe it'll stay that way as long as the current installation of ubuntu is intact. if i'm not mistaken ubuntu stores the id data for that drive and always uses the same sd* ident for it | 20:51 |
| billybigrigger | BZWingZero, its a common config | 20:51 |
| PeskyJ | Snoopy_: ahh, I see.. do you know where it stores that so I can edit it? | 20:51 |
| billybigrigger | BZWingZero, not just ubuntu has it, but all debian based distributions | 20:51 |

| chrisorange2 | should i write "Works with 8.10 on me fine." or "Works with 8.10 fine on me." ? | 20:53 |
| billybigrigger | BZWingZero, yes but your interface is going to be wlan0 wlan1 etc. | 20:53 |

| billybigrigger | BZWingZero, not eth0 eth1 | 20:53 |
| CasperOrillian | is there a way to automatically make command line commands run? | 20:53 |
| billybigrigger | BZWingZero, if you want it static you have to set the essid and all that | 20:54 |
| lashi | even when I go to installed plugins in Firefox, it only shows me shockwave flash | 20:54 |
| lashi | grrrrr! | 20:54 |
| dale330 | now, in the old days dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would fix this | 20:54 |
| BZWingZero | billybigrigger: For some reason with the intel card in the laptop wired is eth0 and wireless is eth1 | 20:54 |
| billybigrigger | hmm | 20:54 |
| lashi | I can fix this in a choppy way by screwing around with symlinks | 20:54 |
| dale330 | but it seems the package isn't what it was | 20:54 |
| billybigrigger | BZWingZero, do they both work? | 20:54 |
| lashi | but surely, there must be a cleaner, and more controlled way of doing this??? | 20:54 |

| BZWingZero | billybigrigger: yep. Currently just using iwconfig to set the essid and key and dhclient to pull the IP from the router. Static would just make administration easier | 20:55 |
| compu73rg33k | the only two programs I've found are doing this are x-chat and gftp | 20:55 |
| Dabbleh | WG111 works with Ubuntu 8.10 | 20:55 |
| lashi | anxiolytic, I've pasted in a dialog | 20:55 |

| lashi | jrib, what's pastebin? | 20:59 |
| jrib | !pastebin | lashi | 20:59 |

| ActionParsnip | blip99: man dd | 21:02 |
| lap | heh | 21:02 |
| Snoopy_ | grub starts number drive at hd0, so your first drive is hd0, second is hd1, etc | 21:02 |
| jrib | lashi: pastebin the contents of the "about:plugins" page when you enter that into your browser's address bar | 21:02 |
| PeskyJ | Snoopy_: exactly... SATA3 == hd2 | 21:03 |
| blip99 | ActionParsnip, for F*** sake everyone keeps telling me that. I wrote in my post... I have READ the manpage ... 3 times... and can't figure it out still. | 21:03 |
| Snoopy_ | however, grub does not use udev to determine it's drive order, it uses the BIOS drive hook routine to determine that | 21:03 |
| blip99 | i don't understand why it's so hard to give a 1 second answer if you know it. i've done my homework before asking | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | blip99: i dont think dd can give any output, it copying the device to the other device | 21:04 |
| dale330 | yeah, my intel integrated graphics broke today, i'm on the vesa driver now. how do i get it to go back to the intel driver? | 21:04 |
| dale330 | the old tools don't work anymore | 21:04 |
| PeskyJ | Snoopy_: yeah, it's two separate things. I have SATA1=ubuntu, SATA2=empty, SATA3=Windows, SATA4=ntfs data disc | 21:04 |

| Led-Hed | anyone here know how I can restore the menus on my desktop? I installed all the updates and rebooted, menus/panel is gone | 21:05 |
| Snoopy_ | try this in your terminal: grub-install --recheck | 21:05 |
| lashi | oops jrib, 1 sec, i have to restart my browser | 21:05 |
| blip99 | ActionParsnip, ye i found one option called "Status=noxfer" which apparently supress' transfer statistics... even though i don't get any stats with it or without it. anyway thanks. sorry those guys at linux channel pissed me off telling me about the manpage when this whole feature doesn't seem to exist. | 21:05 |
| Snoopy_ | after that, do: less /boot/grub/device.map | 21:05 |
| Snoopy_ | paste the output into irc | 21:05 |
| jrib | lashi: locate libswfdecmozilla.so | 21:06 |

| dale330 | why was displayconfig-gtk removed from 8.10 and what is its replacement? | 21:06 |
| sergiu | hi, how to change screen resolution in ubuntu 8.04? In monitor resolution settings isn't the higher resoltion then 800x600 ,, | 21:06 |
| jrib | !x | sergiu | 21:06 |
| ubottu | sergiu: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 21:06 |
| lashi | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69340/ | 21:07 |
| dale330 | well how does one fix X now? they removed all the good configuration tools | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sergiu: you'll need to install graphics drivers | 21:07 |
| dale330 | i looked at my xorg.conf and it makes no sense now | 21:07 |
| jrib | sergiu: maybe system -> preferences -> screen resolution or grandr? google for the reason why it was removed as I have no idea | 21:07 |
| sergiu | anyone know, why the totem-xine packge isn't in ubuntu 8.10 . | 21:07 |
| Guitarplayer001 | hey guys | 21:07 |

| Blackhex | Hello, I've broken something that in my nautilus preferences on media tab there is no options for photos autorun. What package do I need to reinstall to fix it, please? | 21:09 |
| Snoopy_ | recheck re-probes your bios drive order | 21:09 |
| jrib | lashi: sudo aptitude purge swfdec-mozilla and restart your browser | 21:09 |
| lashi | jrib, I can't do that | 21:09 |
| Snoopy_ | you may have to append "(hd0) afterward | 21:09 |
| Guitarplayer001 | one of my friends is a regular on here, I'm kinda worried about him.... CorbinFox been around lately? | 21:09 |
| lashi | jrib, gnome depends on swfdec-mozilla | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Guitarplayer001: i think I saw that name a week or so ago | 21:10 |
| lashi | I can do a dpkg --purge and continue using gnome | 21:10 |
| lashi | I know that | 21:10 |
| jrib | lashi: "I'm sorry dave, I'm afraid I can't do that". Are you sure? I don't have it installed. Show me the output when you try with aptitude | 21:10 |
| lashi | but surely, there must be a *clean* way to fix thix | 21:10 |
| Acedip | hey guys can "at" be used to just run a command at a specific time | 21:10 |
| Skiessi | how does blu-ray work in ubuntu? | 21:11 |
| PeskyJ | Snoopy_: right, I'm going to see if it boots, bbl | 21:11 |
| Guitarplayer001 | ActionParsnip, okay thanks.... | 21:11 |
| Snoopy_ | yeah my bad pesky. try this: sudo grub-install --recheck hd0 | 21:11 |
| lashi | jrib, that was the first thing I tried: | 21:11 |
| lashi | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69341/ | 21:11 |
| Snoopy_ | ok good luck | 21:11 |
| jrib | lashi: ok. So you have gnome installed instead of ubuntu-desktop? | 21:11 |
| lashi | jrib, yep | 21:12 |
| lashi | should I have ubuntu-desktop installed instead? | 21:12 |
| jetuser | so would anyone know offhand how to set up ubuntu for opengl projects? | 21:12 |

| broke254 | Installation crash after installing Boot-Loader... Maybe Bootsector from hdd defekt? How to repair? | 21:13 |

| sparr | forcedeth is assigning my NIC a random MAC because (i believe, per other mailing list threads) the MAC is stored backwards. How can I force it to use a particular MAC instead of a random MAC in this case? | 21:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | on one of my boxes im logged to f1+f2 but i wish to ssh to it from my main comp and be able to access those screen, how do i go about doing so? | 21:13 |
| jrib | lashi: but you installed the desktop cd of ubuntu? | 21:13 |
| lashi | jrib, i installed desktop cd of ubuntu 7.10 | 21:14 |
| lashi | I'ev upgraded twice since then | 21:14 |
| jrib | Acedip: what else is "at" good for? :) | 21:14 |
| lashi | hoenstly, I can't remember installing gnome, I dont know why I would | 21:14 |
| symons | (8.10) I'm getting random unmounts and the logs are showing "forcibly attempting to lazy unmount /dev/sda1 as enclosing drive was disconnected" Anyone know why? | 21:14 |
| lashi | I did an aptitude remove gnome, but it wants to remoev other things too... | 21:14 |
| jrib | lashi: well you don't need it if you have ubuntu-desktop installed. But if you want to keep it and workaround it, we can try | 21:14 |
| lashi | they look kind of vital | 21:14 |
| lashi | jrib, I can fix this flash issue | 21:15 |
| Acedip | jrib: i mean what is the syntax for just running a simple command like this using "at" /usr/bin/rhythmbox -q | 21:15 |
| lashi | I was wondering whether there is a nice, controlled way of fixing this | 21:15 |
| chrisorange2 | how can i compile my own compiler | 21:15 |
| lashi | because, it's kind of ugly for me to go and put symlinks in the right places, right? | 21:15 |
| broke254 | (8.10) Installation errors after installing Boot-Loader... Maybe Bootsector from hdd defect? How to repair? | 21:15 |
| mmcji | i can not get vmware server 1.0.8 to build on ubuntu 8.10 server | 21:15 |
| mmcji | bummer | 21:15 |
| lashi | ie., flashplugin-nonfree should detect swf or gnash or whatever installed, and ask the user to select a default plugin or something like that | 21:16 |
| lashi | anyway, jrib, I'm happy to remove gnome, I don't need it isntalled | 21:16 |
| usser__ | chrisorange2, eh? its not an easy task you know writing compilers | 21:16 |
| Flimm | Anyone know a good single player game? | 21:16 |
| lashi | but, when I do try and remove gnome, it tries to remove some other packages, which look kind of vital | 21:16 |
| usser__ | mmcji, why not run 2.0 | 21:16 |
| lashi | I would have thought that ubuntu-desktop would still have dependencies for those packages... | 21:16 |
| jrib | lashi: you're sure ubuntu-desktop is installed? Can you pastebin what removing gnome wants to do? | 21:17 |
| lashi | jrib, yeap, no worries | 21:17 |
| billybigrigger | lap, you alive | 21:17 |
| billybigrigger | lap, accept | 21:17 |
| chrisorange2 | user_, no i dont know :) but iam going to, i am learning formal language / grammatics | 21:17 |
| jrib | lashi: well firefox wouldn't pick up swfdec from there. Can you see what owns /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so ? | 21:17 |
| mmcji | ihave tried 2 several times on different platforms. I seems slow and clunky to me...just imo. perhaps that is what i need to do thou | 21:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | on one of my boxes im logged to f1+f2 but i wish to ssh to it from my main comp and be able to access those screen, how do i go about doing so? | 21:17 |
| chrisorange2 | user_, but its just theoretical | 21:18 |
| abracadabra_ | can mail only send mail in my home network? | 21:18 |
| jrib | Acedip: what do you intend that to do? | 21:18 |
| chrisorange2 | user_, i have no idea how to do in praxis | 21:18 |
| rconan | having some trouble running the intrepid install disk on a thinkpad t22, I get the box bouncing back and forth for a while then the progress bar then it just goes black | 21:18 |
| lashi | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69345/ | 21:18 |
| lashi | bloody weird | 21:18 |
| usser__ | chrisorange2, well you compile a compiler just like any other program... write it say C and use gcc to compile it. the ultimate test for a compiler is to compile itself | 21:18 |
| * usser__ heh too many compilers | 21:19 | |
| Acedip | jrib: just want to pause/quit rhythmbox at a specified time, for the time being :) | 21:19 |
| chrisorange2 | user_,aha :) | 21:19 |
| usser__ | usser__, a good idea is to start with a parser... also might look into simple languages like brainfsck for which an interpreter is literally one page long | 21:20 |
| j2daosh | hey all | 21:20 |
| izzy200198 | im so frustrated | 21:20 |

| sergiu | anyone know, is libxine1 capable to play .mp3 ? | 21:21 |
| j2daosh | question, i dont want to have to put in my password everytime i need to do something on this machine, what groups do i need to add my username to so i dont have to put in the pass for administrative tasks | 21:21 |
| jrib | lashi: just install it again | 21:21 |

| j2daosh | i thought it was just root, tty, ssh, bin, daemon | 21:21 |
| j2daosh | and sudo | 21:21 |
| sirjoebob | ]hello all. I am helping a friend setup an XP/8.10 dual boot and I need to know how to HIDE the XP partition from the Ubuntu install | 21:21 |
| lashi | jrib, you mean remove then install? yeah, I suppose I can do that | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | izzy200198: did you m5 check the cd and also check the cd once burned?? | 21:21 |
| lashi | but I mean, it's removing a whole lot of network stuff, gdm themes etc etc | 21:21 |
| j2daosh | but i still get prompted with the pass | 21:21 |
| lashi | bit bizarre don't you think? | 21:21 |
| jrib | Acedip: usually you do: at TIME, press enter, then type your command, then ctrl-d | 21:22 |
| izzy200198 | action: nope | 21:22 |
| j2daosh | wait... its there an adm group? | 21:22 |
| voox | I installed ubuntu server, xorg, slim, then fluxbox. How come when I log in I can't type or move my mouse or anything like that? | 21:22 |

| ActionParsnip | izzy200198: did you check the iso you downloaded? | 21:23 |
| step21_ | (an empty one) or at least only format one partition, not the whole drive | 21:23 |
| sirjoebob | ]hello all. I am helping a friend setup an XP/8.10 dual boot and I need to know how to HIDE the XP partition from the Ubuntu install?? I am fairly comfortable with command, etc just need to know what to do | 21:23 |
| izzy200198 | how do i check that? | 21:24 |
| danielig | hey | 21:24 |
| izzy200198 | it downloaded successfully | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | izzy200198: boot whatever system has the iso and check it with md5 | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | izzy200198: doesnt 100% garuntee its consistant | 21:24 |
| step21_ | sirfelius: why do you need to hide it? just install windows first, then ubuntu, all set | 21:24 |
| step21_ | oops | 21:24 |
| izzy200198 | when i boot the menu presents the option "check cd for defects" is that it? | 21:24 |
| j2daosh | does modifying the sudoers file require a restart to refresh the permissions? | 21:24 |
| vesuva | ubuntu is great! | 21:24 |
| step21_ | that was for sirjoebob | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | j2daosh: you have to log off and on | 21:25 |

| danielig | any ideas how to get a plugin for file access for sound-juicer (CD-Extractor) | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | j2daosh: it'll come to you when you next bump into it | 21:25 |
| step21_ | sirjoebob: just don't mount the volume or mount it rad only | 21:26 |

| Crizes | louise it is. | 21:28 |
| step21_ | sirjoebob: for hiding I think you have to tell grub to hide it when booting linux and to unhide it when booting windows. check with grub tutorials on that. for read only just add ro as an option to the relevant drive in /etc/fstab | 21:28 |
| sledge | Does anyone know of a free Macro recorder for UBUNTU | 21:28 |

| chris4585 | Stryker, I suggest installing envy to correctly configure your video card | 21:30 |
| chris4585 | !envy | 21:31 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 21:31 |

| gavagai | vesuva, yeah i was thrilled that sound worked on first boot but now i see how quiet it is | 21:53 |

| orkun | since i upgraded to latest intrepid ipex(before i ran hardy heron), i had kernel 2.6.24-21-generic running, which uses r8187 module for my rtl8187b wlan card. since the upgrade to kernel 2.6.27(i guess), rtl8187b is being used. with that module connection drops after a minute. what should i do? i am afraid keeping the older kernel will become impossible | 21:58 |

| Snoopy_ | yeah that map is what grub uses, the map is determined at grub install time. that's what the --recheck command is for. reprobes the bios and rewrites the map file | 22:00 |

| st3vie | DamienGray, you can try gparted | 22:01 |
| orkun | i just see r8187 is not compiled within newest intrepid kernel. rtl8187 won't work for me. will it work to set up r8187 manually? or will i even have to set up my own kernel to do so? | 22:01 |

| st3vie | DamienGray, depends on the way you use it. is it an USB stick, then usually vfat is used | 22:03 |
| guntbert | DamienGray: yes gparted will show you everything, but first have a look at the output of mount | 22:03 |

| fudgeman3000 | it doesnt appear that way on the screeen though | 22:25 |
| LF|Irssi | Ademan: what would be "Places>Connect" on KDE4? | 22:25 |

| PeskyJ | Do you have to have a real user logged in to start the "Guest session"? I would like to be able to start the guest session from the welcome screen, but it says the UID is too low | 22:32 |

| sevenseas | I have a question, I just installed ubuntu 8.10 today... now after I go to shutdown or restart, my laptop hangs while shutting down and doesnt fully shutdown | 22:32 |
| sevenseas | any suggestions on how I can fix this? | 22:32 |
| PeskyJ | rsp1: I had random freezes with 8.10 - it was to do with the wireless card | 22:33 |
| sevenseas | it will not reboot or shutdown, it just hangs after it logs out of x | 22:33 |
| roak1974 | it started with madwifi i think i corrected that =now i have lost the min/max and close buttons on windows and it seems if i start terminal that the bottom of the window is not drawing | 22:33 |

| kernando | is there a program that can stream songs like not just an internet radio something where u can search for songs and it will just play them | 22:35 |
| sevenseas | kernando, not really | 22:35 |
| Marcus_123 | when i move my mouse all the way to the edge of the screen i cannot click on anything...can someone help | 22:35 |
| goat|lappy | kernando: last.fm? | 22:35 |

| guq | hi | 22:36 |
| sevenseas | last.fm will be your best option | 22:36 |
| kernando | i remember there was something like listen.fm or something | 22:36 |
| Marcus_123 | songza does what you want | 22:36 |
| goat|lappy | Marcus_123: is there a particular point that your mouse stops working? | 22:36 |
| kernando | alright ill check it out | 22:37 |

| hakan | hi everyone | 22:42 |
| guntbert | PeskyJ: why don't you create another account for guests? | 22:42 |
| coz_ | bastones, might take a litle longer from dvd but... how long has it been? | 22:42 |
| eitreach | I need to start mpd before I start X automatically. How would I do that? | 22:42 |
| bastones | not sure... maybe 15 mins? | 22:42 |
| bastones | 10-15 mins the least | 22:42 |
| coz_ | bastones, ok thats not right | 22:42 |
| bastones | hmm | 22:42 |
| coz_ | bastones, did you check the md5sum of the iso image? | 22:42 |
| bastones | but it does time for the window to come up | 22:42 |
| bastones | maybe a few mins | 22:42 |
| bastones | take time* | 22:43 |
| bastones | did take time* | 22:43 |
| bastones | i can move the window and everything | 22:43 |
| bastones | but its quite slow in moving it | 22:43 |
| coz_ | bastones, how much memory and whta is the cpu | 22:43 |
| bastones | 256MB memory lol | 22:43 |
| bastones | maybe it'll take sometime | 22:43 |
| goat|lappy | Marcus_123: i was just looking around for issues the new version of X, maybe that would be related, but I don't see any known issues like that. sorry | 22:43 |
| coz_ | bastones, yeah with 256 it may take time so hold off for a bit :) | 22:44 |
| bastones | will do :) | 22:44 |
| Marcus_123 | thanks goat|lappy..even a push in the right direction of what to google is much appreciated | 22:44 |
| bastones | how long roughly would it take do you think coz_ ? | 22:44 |
| coz_ | bastones, well if it goes to b20 minutes or longer I would suggest maybe downloading the alternate cd | 22:44 |
| bastones | thing is coz_ I have had ubuntu on my desktop previously before probably in July and it did take time for it to all startup? | 22:45 |
| coz_ | bastones, ok then you already know how your system reacts installing from a live cd /dvd so hold off until you think its been too long | 22:46 |
| goat|lappy | Marcus_123: try something for me, in terminal, type the following: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak; sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:46 |
| coz_ | :) | 22:46 |
| Swian | wow bastones what is your hardware setup, ubuntu is the fastest booting os I have | 22:46 |
| goat|lappy | Marcus_123: then in nano change vmmouse to mouse, and ctrl+x to save | 22:46 |
| bastones | not sure, but it has 40GB | 22:46 |
| fiXXXerMet1 | How can I permanently set the mtu in ubuntu? I've tried adding "mtu xxxx" to /etc/network/interfaces and then restarting networking, but it doesn't take | 22:46 |
| Swian | 40gb hd is not big | 22:46 |
| fiXXXerMet1 | Using dhcp, by the way | 22:46 |
| Swian | and its processor ram speed that matter | 22:47 |
| bastones | yeah, so this is expected right? | 22:47 |
| Swian | depends on your hardware | 22:47 |
| assem | i'm trying to use dual monitor after installing nvidia drivers, my 2nd display won't enable itself after an x-restart even though i configure it in nvidia-settings. could something else (like system=>prefs=>screen resolution) be preventing this? | 22:47 |
| goat|lappy | Marcus_123: sorry, just a sec, wrong value | 22:47 |
| eitreach | I need to start mpd before I start X automatically. How would I do that? | 22:47 |
| Swian | I'm running it on a 2.6ghz amd 64 bit processor | 22:47 |

| swc|666 | rsync question -- i'm trying to migrate a mail server. The old mail server (server A) uses key based auth, where I have an SSH key under my admin user credentials.

| assem | billybigrigger, i read somewhere on gnome.org that "Screen Resolution" doesn't work for nvidia binary drivers (yet), and i think that preference is controlling my xorg.conf. but that's just my hunch. | 22:54 |
| feng14 | gam3r111, in the compiz option animation | 22:54 |

| mzwo | biomass, thanks, anyways :-) | 22:55 |
| gavagai | Is the regular installation CD any easier than the alternate, or does it just have eye candy? Again I had problems with the regular cd and had to use alternate. I am wondering why I should not recommend people try the alternate first and not risk wasting their time with the regular cd. | 22:55 |

| feng14 | gam3r111, could you wait a moment please? I am on windows XP now | 22:56 |
| IceWind | Hi, is it possible to define a resolution for the grub menu other than the default one? I'm using a LCD TV and it doesn't support the default resolution. | 22:56 |
| billybigrigger | assem, i have no prolbems with my nvidia, and through hdmi out to my tv i have no problems either | 22:56 |
| gam3r111 | feng14 shure are you going on ubuntu | 22:56 |
| btice | gavagai: I've always had good luck with the regular on reasonably new hardware. I had to use the alternate on an old 390E Thinkpad (circa 1999) but on a T43, the regular installer was flawless. | 22:57 |
| feng14 | gam3r111, yea | 22:57 |
| fruit_blm | just a quick question | 22:57 |
| gam3r111 | feng14 ok | 22:57 |
| Jmax | hi, how can i get dkms to work? | 22:57 |
| billybigrigger | assem, but im not going to tv right atm so that could be why my xorg is so small | 22:57 |
| Jmax | or at least transition to a functional m-a | 22:57 |
| gavagai | btice, i've had the regular fail on a new desktop and a new laptop. my experience seems backwards... i never have problems with old hardware | 22:57 |
| downfallat111 | has anyone had luck using the linksys wmp54gs pci wireless card and 8.10? | 22:57 |
| fruit_blm | how can I get my computer's own mac address ? | 22:57 |
| unop | gavagai, the live CD has an advantage of being used without actually installing stuff to the HDDs - so it's a great rescue environment. The disadvantage is that it cannot be used as a repository and might not work on some hardware (new video hardware especially) | 22:57 |
| kikop | have dns silly question | 22:58 |
| downfallat111 | fruit_blm: type ifconfig in a terminal | 22:58 |
| gavagai | unop, ok so no real advantage in terms of the installation. just the live aspect. | 22:58 |
| mzwo | hi, intrepid won't let me activate proprietary driver (ati), any idea why? | 22:58 |
| gavagai | because in fact the live cd worked on my laptop but would not install on it | 22:58 |
| btice | gavagai: I guess YMMV. All my hardware has been IBM, but the old stuff was underpowered for the normal installer. | 22:58 |
| fruit_blm | downfallat111: I ignore the first two digits rite (00) and take the next 6 pairs ? | 22:59 |
| btice | gavagi: I guess the short answer is, if it works, go with it. | 22:59 |
| gavagai | i guess in the future unless i need a live distro i'll just always start with the alternate cd. i don't see any downside | 22:59 |
| goat|lappy | Marcus_123: whats your environment, is this 8.10? | 22:59 |
| Jmax | why doesn't m-a work with ubuntu? | 22:59 |
| assem | billybigrigger, well, i think the problem is the virtual display for the default screen. i told nvidia-settings to make my hdtv/monitor screen 2. it didn't change the xorg.conf | 22:59 |
| downfallat111 | fruit:blm: no, i think it is all 6 pairs | 22:59 |
| gavagai | the alt install was great though... everything on my laptop worked automatically. (well, so far. i haven't notice any prob) | 23:00 |
| Marcus_123 | goat|lappy: yes 8.10 | 23:00 |
| unop | gavagai, in terms of installation - the live CD is less customisable - that could be seen as both an advantage and a disadvantage - in most cases, the end result is the same, it's just how you do it that's different | 23:00 |
| assem | billybigrigger, when you double a tv and monitor, do you use twinview? xinerama? | 23:00 |
| IceWind | does Lilo allows to define a specific resolution for it's menu? | 23:00 |
| unop | IceWind, sure, http://www.sprint.net.au/~terbut/usefulbox/lilovgatable.htm | 23:01 |
| gam3r111 | feng14 r u in ubuntu yet | 23:01 |
| amews_aj | When I try to run a .net application after installing winetricks, I just get "Attempted to read or write protected memory" error. Tried native gdiplus.dll, but no change. What to do now? | 23:01 |
| feng14 | gam3r111, yes | 23:02 |
| im | hi all | 23:02 |
| gam3r111 | feng14 what should i di | 23:02 |
| kernando | how come in banshee when i click on similar artists or the songs the program jjust shuts down? | 23:02 |
| gam3r111 | **do | 23:02 |
| IceWind | unop isn't that the same as grub? it only affect the boot process but not the menu itself? | 23:02 |
| robert__ | i keep getting a 'unable to build the vmmon module' error during installation of vmware, any ideas? | 23:02 |

| shredder12 | buntoow: earlier when i was using Hardy i got an update for 2.6.24-21 i upgraded my kernel but found that there was no ethernet device when i used the new kernel..so i continued working on 24-19 but when i upgraded my system to intrepid...i faced the same problem with the new kernel..2.6.27-7..that's why i am looking for some solution..?? | 23:42 |
| linxeh | CoJaBo-Eee: though always with hardware raid | 23:42 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Any experience with software RAID? Hardware RAID is looking way too expensive. | 23:43 |
| Bowtrik | So is Amarok better than Totem? | 23:43 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: Yes. What raid level and hw or sw raid? | 23:43 |
| Bowtrik | Or is that based on opinion? XD | 23:43 |
| Andreica | is any application for linux that defragment ram? | 23:44 |
| linxeh | CoJaBo-Eee: only with those cheap highpoint cards, and that was almost 10 years ago I'm afraid. I'm sure others have | 23:44 |
| shredder12 | Bowtrik: for what purpose..are u using them.. | 23:44 |
| jrib | eitreach: that's not because mpd is not started before X. You can check yourself that mpd is running as the mpd user. The issue is probably related to pulseaudio, that's my guess anyway | 23:44 |
| PeskyJ | CoJaBo-Eee: many motherboards support RAID these days | 23:44 |
| Bowtrik | Just for mp3's. | 23:44 |
| canthony | is it possible to save as docx in openoffice 2.4 or 3 | 23:44 |
| shredder12 | Bowtrik: then amarok is the best.. | 23:44 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: raid in Ubuntu is somewhat flaky at the moment. | 23:44 |
| designerman | I have a really old ubuntu live cd that I need to install from, how can I do this? | 23:45 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: ...at least software raid configured in mirror... | 23:45 |
| Bowtrik | Shredder12, it does seem like it is much better suited to it. But Totem puts up a nice effort at least. | 23:45 |
| click170 | Does anyone know why readline isn't compiled into irb in Hardy? | 23:45 |
| NekroJakub | Man, Ubuntu runs sooo much smoother than Kubuntu | 23:45 |
| NekroJakub | KDE4 is really bloated... | 23:45 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | I'd actually like to get something like RAID 5 working. | 23:46 |
| shredder12 | Bowtrik: wait a min..you are talking about Totem Movie player.. isn't?? | 23:46 |
| Bowtrik | NekroJakub, I have read the same things about that. That Gnome is faster and such. | 23:46 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: I haven't played with raid 5 so don't know... | 23:46 |
| Bowtrik | Shredder12, I was talking about whichever Totem player came with my Ubuntu 8.10 | 23:47 |
| zabbadapp | how is the awn systray supposed to work? I have added the "awn notification daemon" applet, but nothing appears ... shouldn't i.e. rhythmbox show up if it is running? I have also removed the systray area from the gnome panel since some forums say it could interfere.. | 23:47 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: I just know that raid 1 has issues with boot-up after a swapoout/failure of one of the members. | 23:48 |
| shredder12 | Bowtrik: well still for mp3s there is nothing better than amarok..i have used plenty of music players and have found nothing like amarok.. | 23:48 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | I need something that can withstand a drive failure, yet still keep most of the space. Looks like RAID 5 is the most popular solution. | 23:48 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: That's correct. You want raid5. | 23:48 |
| ConstantineXVI | i've got a noticeable audio delay in flash (~.5s), is there a fix? | 23:48 |
| Rhorse | shredder12, I think quodlibet has it beat, but those with low IQ often complain about confiuration problems | 23:48 |
| shredder12 | Bowtrik: it jst provides so much facilities that you can hardly find anything about it to complain | 23:48 |
| PeskyJ | can I return to the "Welcome" screen without logging out? | 23:48 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | It won't be the boot drive, so booting off it is not a problem. | 23:49 |
| Bowtrik | Shredder12, I actually just reinstalled 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, and I forget how to get DvD playback. :( | 23:49 |
| meta | Anyone have vpn problem with Ubuntu 8.10. Until i install this version i can't connect to my job (Windows PPTP connection) Thank You! | 23:49 |
| * canthony wants to save as docx | 23:49 | |
| Sebboh | hi. There was a bug fixed in Firefox recently, no earlier than 3.0.4 I belive. So I want to run that version today, on my Intrepid machine. How might I do that? | 23:49 |
| ConstantineXVI | PeskyJ, lock screen, switch user | 23:49 |
| shredder12 | Rhorse: well i haven't ever used it..infact i am hearing about it the first time..but i would definitely want to try it now.. | 23:49 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: Then you should have no issues with it. The installer supports raid configuration and is pretty straight-forward. | 23:49 |
| buntoow | shredder12--> compare the old /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ and in the new to see if drivers are missing or not | 23:50 |
| PeskyJ | ConstantineXVI: ahh yes, thanks :) | 23:50 |

| NekroJakub | shredder12: Amarok indeed pwns! *slow reactions ftw* | 23:50 |
| Rhorse | shredder12, the best thing about it is it's library scanning: you can add to your library cumulatively, you don't have to rescan every time. | 23:51 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Can it handle USB drives for the RAID volumes? | 23:51 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: Not sure. | 23:51 |
| NekroJakub | Rhorse: Are you saying there's something actually better than Amarok? o_O | 23:52 |
| shredder12 | buntoow: could you again specify which files do i need to compare.. | 23:52 |
| codyzapp | where can i find the audio (wmamod) for ubuntu.. all my wmv movies dont have sound on vlc :( | 23:52 |

| Rhorse | I found amarok a bear to run on 512 mbytes | 23:52 |
| noobian | installation question -- got an acer 5315, one of the most Ubuntu-hostile laptops in existence. Tons of hardware issues. Any advice, workarounds, etc? | 23:52 |
| buntoow | shredder12--> the driver you used for your nic card | 23:53 |
| NekroJakub | Rhorse: It's a wolf, not a bear! Just kidding. And what did you find instead? | 23:53 |
| shredder12 | but which files?? | 23:53 |
| buntoow | shredder12--> find out which driver your nic card uses.. sudo lshw -C | 23:53 |
| shredder12 | kk.. | 23:54 |
| linux02 | how do i find out what video card is running on my computer? | 23:54 |
| Reilithion | Should the VESA X module be loading if it isn't specified explicitly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 23:54 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | I have seen a few guides on USB raid of hard drives and even flash and floppy drives, so it looks like it can be done. | 23:54 |

| Nergoth | I don't like racists and niggers | 23:55 |
| NekroJakub | How can I make Pidgin indicate that someone spoke my name, like underline it or something? | 23:55 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Its just a matter of how difficult to set up, and how fast it will be I think. | 23:55 |
| Rhorse | NekroJakub, quodlibet is perfect (with most of the plugins installed). Fast, light and a fast scanner. Plus you get ex falso thrown in the bargain. | 23:55 |
| poly | lol wow | 23:55 |
| Miesco | Is there any good video editing software? | 23:55 |
| goat|lappy | !language | Nergoth | 23:55 |
| ubottu | Nergoth: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:55 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: I would guess it can but I bet the installer won't support it. | 23:55 |
| buntoow | shredder12--> i forget the command.. | 23:55 |
| shredder12 | buntoow: i think you mean sudo lshw -C network..isn't?? | 23:55 |
| Nergoth | it was joke guys, don't be mad :E | 23:56 |
| NekroJakub | Rhorse: And what's ex falso? | 23:56 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: Only one way to know for sure... | 23:56 |
| poly | I have a question.... What does ubuntu or kubuntu offer that SuSE or Slackware don't? | 23:56 |
| buntoow | shredder12--> yah i think that one.. | 23:56 |
| NekroJakub | poly: Wubi! | 23:56 |
| designerman | how can I install ubuntu of an old live cd? | 23:56 |
| Rhorse | NekroJakub, tag editor, bulk file renamer | 23:56 |
| buntoow | poly--> read their respective home pages please | 23:56 |
| QRZ | poly: The Ubuntu Community! | 23:56 |
| scotlfs | So I have checked the documentation, along with everything else I have needed help with, and I can't figure out how to configure my sound card | 23:57 |
| kenois | a brilliant package system poly | 23:57 |
| madguy | it's easier to install than slackware | 23:57 |
| etoD | madguy: that isn tmy experience thus far =p | 23:57 |
| kenois | i used to run slackware before, and i'm NEVER going to do that again :) | 23:57 |

| madguy | nothing against it | 23:57 |

| keystr0k | Since upgrading to Ibex, my wireless works in about 10 second spurts... with 10-20 seconds pauses between.

| Reilithion | How would I find out what is causing the VESA driver to load? Alternatively, how would I find out what is causing the VESA driver to fail to detect my display? | 23:58 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Is there any info on how to tell when a drive fails? That seems to be left out of most of the guides I am finding. | 23:58 |
| Rhorse | I use xchat, which does this by default. But if you have firefox, chatzilla does it also. Don't know much about Pidgin | 23:58 |
| poly | xchat rules | 23:58 |
| === Moshu` is now known as MoshutZu | ||
| keystr0k | I second that... xchat is awesome | 23:58 |
| shredder12 | buntoow: well here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/69400/ | 23:58 |
| hyphenated | CoJaBo-Eee: SMART (data from the drive) monitoring tools might be helpful | 23:58 |
| gavagai | irssi finds bit of xchat in its poop | 23:59 |
| poly | I have never used anything else | 23:59 |
| buntoow | CoJaBo-Eee--> when the drive can not be loaded is one | 23:59 |
| NekroJakub | Ahh, I guess getting Xchat might be benefitial. | 23:59 |
| etoD | hmm | 23:59 |
| etoD | can someone help me with the probelm that the installer says it cannot mount one of my partitions, an ntfs one | 23:59 |
| eitreach | jrit: If you're still available, you were right. I can start mpc fine, but there's no sound. In /etc/default/pulseaudio I have enabled system-wide - but are there more steps? | 23:59 |
| Rhorse | keystr0k, I also like that xchat only charges Winduhs users: 29.99 after trial. 8 ) | 23:59 |
| QRZ | CoJaBo-Eee: Google for, "mdadm" and you will have tons of information on raid maintenance. | 23:59 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Hey what is the correct way to add the comand to remove and or add a module in rc.local? I know you would do rmmod *module* but you have to put the location of the module not just the name right? | 23:59 |
| NekroJakub | And damnit, I second the brilliant packager whoever said that | 23:59 |
| NekroJakub | A couple of clicks, one search... | 23:59 |
| keystr0k | Rhorse, WOW. I didn't know they charged! haha. dang. | 23:59 |
