| pepperjack | mankash, chmod +x file.txt. the long answer is to do a ls -l and look in left column --- --- and --- is owner group other so the owner position can be 0-7 since its binary and you have three positions - - and - so you can chmod 777 file.txt etc | 01:34 |
| mankash | i logged in with that user | 01:34 |
| goat|lappy | sudo chmod +x filename | 01:35 |
| SegFaultAX | mankash: create a new group, put that user in it, then chown it to that users group, then chmod the group to g+x | 01:35 |

| nickrud | SegFaultAX, the reason I learned acl's was maintaining writability in shared folders: g+s and the acl made sure it was writeable by all in the group. Didn't have to worry about umasks that way. If you have a simpler solution I'm all ears | 01:42 |
| goat|lappy | linoj: yes, boot from cd, mount the / and look at the username through /etc/passwd | 01:43 |
| Sajuta | burkesbythebay: Well, did you edit the fstab yourself to mount that device? | 01:43 |

| KarlsBerg | okidoki1, you have one aspire one?= | 02:19 |
| ardchoille | Optimus997: you would have to upgrade it manually, the package manager can't upgrade unless there is an update in the repos, and you're using 6.06 repos | 02:19 |
| mgolisch | Optimus997: compile from source? search for backports or whatever | 02:19 |

| cooljeff3000 | is there any way to connect multiple times to a single torrent? | 02:22 |
| DavidCanarias | Hi all. Can anyone help me install a tar.bz file. | 02:23 |
| step21 | cooljeff3000: every torrent uses "multiple connections" | 02:23 |
| ardchoille | DavidCanarias: which app are you trying to isntall? | 02:23 |
| crdlb | cooljeff3000: what does that mean? you always connected to multiple peers | 02:23 |
| step21 | so not sure what you are trying to say there | 02:23 |
| w0ls0n | DavidCanarias, just do tar zxvf tarball and then read the README or INSTALL file | 02:23 |
| crdlb | you are* | 02:23 |
| KarlsBerg | okidoki1, in some guides say: disable the current ath driver in System - hardware drivers in menu, but i open this dialog and dont see any in the list, | 02:23 |
| pangloss | w0ls0n: dont you need a j in there cause its a bz2? | 02:23 |
| KarlsBerg | hola DavidCanarias, im in tenerife :) | 02:24 |
| DavidCanarias | ardchoille: Im trying to update mozilla and downloaded the new version in a tarball file. | 02:24 |
| ardchoille | w0ls0n: but he should look in the repos to see if it's there before manually installing | 02:24 |
| z0d14k | crdlb: Yes, using compiz. | 02:24 |
| ardchoille | DavidCanarias: ok, just wanted to make sure it wasn't in the repos first | 02:24 |
| crdlb | z0d14k: the cause of this is "Legacy fullscreen support" in the Workarounds plugin | 02:24 |
| w0ls0n | well he can bunzip it then do tar zxvf | 02:24 |
| z0d14k | crdlb: So, just disable that and things should be happy again? | 02:25 |
| mcphail | pangloss: modern tar doesn't need the "j" or "z" to be specified | 02:25 |
| crdlb | z0d14k: if you disable that misfeature, after closing firefox, it should not open fullscreen the next time you open it | 02:25 |
| pangloss | mcphail: thanks for the update | 02:25 |
| z0d14k | crdlb: Worked. Thanks. | 02:25 |

| goat|lappy | !root | dexter | 02:35 |
| ubottu | dexter: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 02:35 |

| mgolisch | Outlander: i mean what did you select there? alsa,pulseaudio or what? | 02:40 |
| usser | PeskyJ, theres an option to show processes from all users, but may i suggest using command line utilities like top | 02:40 |
| Outlander | i dont see those in a list anywhere in totem | 02:41 |
| nkei0 | I've already tried editing the ipw2200 to show "options led power=1" and it didn't work. | 02:41 |

| sri | how do I get ehci_hcd to recognize my wireless dongle? | 02:51 |
| r0x0r | nkei0, yes I have found a guide, 10x ! | 02:51 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 02:52 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 02:52 |
| r0x0r | split | 02:52 |
| r0x0r | wow | 02:52 |
| sri | apparently usb-storage doesn't work either. | 02:52 |
| Pizarro | conathan, but do you know what I did?: I established from the Ubuntu desktop machine a VPN connection to a MS machine (which worked) and then I opened a Desktop Remote conection to that MS machine, and from there a Opened a VPN connection to the UBnutu server machine, and Everything worked!!!!! | 02:52 |
| sri | it uses a zd1211rw driver apparently. | 02:52 |
| dexter | goat|lappy; i have been tired of searching on google....i never a proper guidance on how to start and were 2 start and how I can just pace up so that I can be ready for the programming in a short time | 02:52 |

| sri | when I first log in it says: hub 7-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5 | 02:53 |
| avis | i dont seem to see the create a usb startup disk option under administration in intrepid. is there a package that needs to be installed ? | 02:53 |
| sri | couldn't really find anything in google that would fix this problem. | 02:53 |
| Pizarro | conathan, but if I try to establish the VPN connection direclty from the Ubnutu desktop machine to the Ubunutu server it just turn out in: "VPN connection failed"...and this is freaking me out | 02:53 |
| Pizarro | conathan, so summirizing: if I have to control the Ubuntu server via VPN, I have to connect through a XP machine XD | 02:54 |
| mgolisch | Pizarro: configure it properly | 02:54 |
| mordaunt | any ubuntu gurus in today? | 02:55 |
| tacone | !ask | mordaunt | 02:55 |
| ubottu | mordaunt: 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. :-) | 02:55 |
| Pizarro | mgolisch, I would like to know what is wrong with my configuration since the XP machines can perfectly conencte to the PPTP server... | 02:55 |
| mgolisch | Pizarro: using the same settings/parameters? | 02:55 |
| Pizarro | mgolisch, indeed | 02:56 |
| mordaunt | can you check your dmesg and let me know what's going on between these 2 time intervals? | 02:56 |
| mordaunt | [ 0.000000] Detected 3066.923 MHz processor. | 02:56 |

| conathan | Pizarro: *sorry for the delay*, unfortunately, hard to diagnose. All I know was all my fun getting winXP to connect to a VPN server at work through my router. | 02:57 |
| mordaunt | goat|lappy: yea.. but why is there a 13 sec gap.. between those two lines in dmesg.. and it seems all that happened was that the console was detected | 02:57 |

| Pizarro | conathan, no problem...It was hard for me to set up the server but now works pretty good with any version of MS machines..unfortunatly I still need to figure out wtf is going on with the Ubunutu clients.. | 02:59 |
| Sephiroth | I have a problem. A serious problem. I'm not getting ANY sound out of my soundcard under Heron, and I would like to have sound come out of it. I checked alsamixer and nothing is muted. It might also help if I mentioned my sound card is an old Audigy 1 soundcard. | 03:00 |
| goat|lappy | dexter: how about this, its the last of my delicious links on the kernel: http://www.linuxhq.com/lkprogram.html | 03:00 |
| Pizarro | conathan, but I don't understand the reason since the protocol is still the same for both platforms, so if it is working for MS platform, it shoul be for Ubuntu too | 03:00 |
| rfxcasey | can someone please help me straighten out my x config | 03:00 |
| goat|lappy | dexter: other than that, i wish you luck | 03:00 |

| onthefence928 | goat|lappy: what temperature should is tart worrying about actual damage? | 03:09 |
| mgolisch | killerbyte: yeah, put them into your fstab | 03:09 |
| Doitle | Has anyone here ever worked with bootable Ubuntu on a flash drive? | 03:09 |
| goat|lappy | onthefence928: there isn't a specific temp, sustained temps above 70C on your proc will lessen its life tho | 03:09 |
| Josesordo | when I put a video or screen saver or another video application. they show blinking why? | 03:09 |
| bazhang | !usb | Doitle | 03:09 |

| okidoki1 | killerbyte did you install storage device manager | 03:10 |
| bazhang | Josesordo, with or without compiz | 03:10 |
| Josesordo | with compiz | 03:10 |
| Josesordo | ç | 03:10 |
| Josesordo | and without compiz happen too | 03:10 |
| killerbyte | okidoki1, yes | 03:10 |
| onthefence928 | goat|lappy: yeah over 70 is common for me :( | 03:10 |
| leohartx | bazang: is there any other software base on Gnome ? | 03:10 |
| bazhang | Josesordo, disable it with fusion-icon | 03:10 |
| rsvp | what brings the temperature up? cpu at what% usage? | 03:10 |
| mg | hhi to all | 03:10 |
| Josesordo | disable compiz? | 03:10 |
| cepher | Right. When I boot from the live CD (was version 7.10 now d/l 8.10) I select boot live cd/install ubuntu, it then says something about the kernal has been loaded. Then there is nothing, just a black screen. No loading bar of sorts, nothing. Are there paramaters I must change, or..? | 03:10 |
| bazhang | Josesordo, yes | 03:10 |
| goat|lappy | onthefence928: if you have fiddled with the guts of your laptop, you could consider replacing your fan/heatsink | 03:11 |
| Doitle | no no I know bazhang, I was asking if anyone had done it with much success. We've managed to get it working through a few different tutorial approaches but they all seem to have some rather odd problems. | 03:11 |
| onthefence928 | does anybody know a good dock like say avant, that works without compiz? | 03:11 |
| killerbyte | okidoki1, it works a bit funny and does not allow me to mount all file systems | 03:11 |
| robert__ | Lisa1 if you're just trying to adjust screen resolution then in term type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 03:11 |
| bazhang | Doitle, using hardy or ibex | 03:11 |
| Josesordo | but without compiz still videos or 3D screensave show blinking | 03:11 |
| Doitle | Also I meant installing it ONTO the USB drive not from a USB drive | 03:11 |
| ardchoille | onthefence928: simdock and cairo-dock both work without compiz | 03:11 |
| jan_aus1 | my /boot partition got trashed in an intrepid install, i am chrooted into my system, how can i reinstall/resetup the /boot stuffs? | 03:11 |
| rsvp | the bizarre thing is that my desktop has no fan? weird, no ;) | 03:11 |
| Doitle | Hardy | 03:11 |
| onthefence928 | goat|lappy: i haven't, and you think i can find a cheap upgarde for a toshiba qosmio g35? | 03:11 |
| goat|lappy | rsvp: no thats just passive cooling | 03:11 |
| bazhang | Doitle, there is a new utility in ibex to do that | 03:11 |
| mg | 1 | 03:11 |
| goat|lappy | onthefence928: idk, sorry | 03:11 |
| KlinkMeister | how do i enable openGL support in ibex? | 03:11 |

| Josesordo | How to install Atheros wirelless driver?? | 03:12 |
| goat|lappy | rsvp: obviously it doesn't work to the degree of active cooling (a fan), but its a way to save money | 03:12 |
| onthefence928 | ardchoille: i'm trying out simdock now, it seems...buggy, and doesn't let me easily add launcher via drag and drop | 03:12 |
| ardchoille | onthefence928: I didn't like either one of them | 03:12 |
| leohartx | bazang: is there any other software base on Gnome ? and btw, how do i test opengl on my graphic card ? | 03:12 |
| robert__ | Lisa1 do you know what intel card you have? | 03:13 |
| mgolisch | leohartx: glxgears? | 03:13 |
| killerbyte | mgolisch, is it possible to do it using gui at all? | 03:13 |
| onthefence928 | ardchoille: and cairo has really bad non-compiz visuals,. the background is all black and square | 03:13 |
| okidoki1 | killerbyte, only one click to a device (sdax) and selecting yes on the dialog is enough, if there is an other problem, i dont know | 03:13 |
| onthefence928 | ardchoille: but it look fine with compiz, | 03:13 |
| mgolisch | killerbyte: no idea, why would you want to? i mean its internal disks, thats something you setup one time | 03:13 |
| Lisa1 | robert_: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) | 03:13 |
| jan_aus1 | can i just apt-get to reinstall my kernel? | 03:14 |
| leohartx | mgolisch: what do you mean ? | 03:14 |
| rsvp | my hard drive only makes metallic noises at start-up, so I thinking not shutting down will solve this problem ;) | 03:14 |
| ziroday | jan_aus1: why do you need to reinstall your kernel? | 03:14 |
| mgolisch | leohartx: glxgears uses opengl, you can use that to see if you opengl works | 03:14 |
| jan_aus1 | ziroday: my /boot got trashed | 03:15 |
| goat|lappy | rsvp: yes, your right, not shutting down will solve the problem of the drive making noise at startup :-D | 03:15 |
| ziroday | jan_aus1: then I doubt reinstalling the kernel will fix it. | 03:15 |
| kavik | wow that's a lot of people. | 03:15 |

| robert__ | that's scary... it's work laptop do you know of any tools to image drive | 03:22 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, it keeps telling me failed to fetch | 03:22 |
| killerbyte | mgolisch, its a very basic capability to just browse internal disk file systems and should really not require manual editing of configuration files i think | 03:22 |
| bazhang | w0ls0n, read the notes | 03:22 |
| onthefence928 | ardchoille: shoot me one | 03:22 |
| bazhang | !notes | 03:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 03:22 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: are you connected to the internet? | 03:22 |
| FloridaBSD | Bullterd: do and ifconfig this should show you all of you interfaces installed in the machine both live and dormant als use a netstat -i | 03:22 |
| robert__ | w0ls0n intrepid's been great for me so far | 03:22 |
| cuTe_ghUrL | hy | 03:22 |
| cuTe_ghUrL | ok | 03:22 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, yea | 03:22 |
| robert__ | on dell precision m2300 | 03:23 |
| killerbyte | mgolisch, what do you think? | 03:23 |
| nkei0 | w0ls0n: not any that i didn't have in hardy... ACPI still doesn't jive with my ati mobility 9700 and my wireless worked great for about 2 weeks until a random update turned my killswitch to a paperweight | 03:23 |
| FloridaBSD | Bullterd: do and ifconfig this should show you all of you interfaces installed in the machine both live and dormant als use a netstat -i will aslo list all of the interfaces in you machine. | 03:23 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: try changing repo's then. Can you pastebin the exact error message | 03:23 |
| w0ls0n | well I hope it doesn't screw up vmware | 03:23 |
| DamienGray | Is there a way to upgrade to intrepid without losing my files, but also without ubuntu sucking afterwords? | 03:23 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, ok one second | 03:23 |
| w0ls0n | it's been a little buggy. I think I am going to convert my vmware box to an EXSi vmware box instead | 03:23 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, I'm rebooting just in cause\ | 03:23 |
| ziroday | DamienGray: depends on what you call "sucking" | 03:24 |
| werdna | !best | 03:24 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:24 |
| mgolisch | killerbyte: its internal disks, not removeable or something, for that i would agree with you, but you usualy dont change internal disks all day so its a one time task to set that up | 03:24 |
| DamienGray | ziroday: Well...stuff messing up, permissions on files changing, etc. | 03:24 |
| Mettlesome | hi | 03:24 |
| ziroday | DamienGray: that shouldn't happen, but still may | 03:24 |
| pangloss | !hi | Mettlesome | 03:24 |
| ubottu | Mettlesome: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 03:24 |
| DamienGray | ziroday: Is it worth upgrading now, or should I wait for a few more updates to intrepid? | 03:25 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, ok it's going | 03:25 |
| ziroday | DamienGray: if are really worried the best idea to is to backup your files and do a fresh install. | 03:25 |
| ziroday | DamienGray: and you can upgrade whenever you want, no time is going to be the best | 03:25 |

| rfxcasey | ziroday, what is the difference between nvidia-glx-177 and new | 03:25 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: you are using 8.04 correct? | 03:26 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, correct | 03:26 |
| smalleyes | why does every little click i do in gtkpod take up 100% CPU make gtkpod unresponsive for 10 seconds??? | 03:26 |
| kingsofleon | rfx - i think new will include all the necssary stuff you need whereas 177 is only part of what you need | 03:26 |
| smalleyes | using gtkpod 0.99.12. | 03:26 |
| kingsofleon | if that makes sense | 03:26 |
| roffe | This is so annoying.. I have the infamous atheros wireless card that caused a lot of issues in the last versions of ubuntu..And now that I've installed 8.10 it still doesn't work | 03:26 |
| Lisa1 | please how can I get to my graphic cards properties, and how can I see all my installed hardware? | 03:26 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: then you don't have nvidia-glx-177, it was just a rename between hardy to intrepid | 03:26 |
| w0ls0n | is there a way I can get ubuntu auth with windows 2003 server? | 03:26 |
| ziroday | roffe: which card? | 03:27 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, roger that | 03:27 |
| === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy | ||
| goat|lappy | Lisa1: the second question is answered by using lspci | 03:27 |
| kingsofleon | lisa: sudo ap-get install hardinfo | 03:27 |
| pangloss | Lisa1: $lspci | 03:27 |
| roffe | ziroday: ar5007 | 03:27 |
| Munchkinguy | Does Ubuntu 8.10 load XGL by default? | 03:27 |
| mgolisch | w0ls0n: likewise or do it manualy using samba/winbind/kerberos | 03:27 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: whats wrong with your graphics card? | 03:27 |
| ziroday | roffe: one sec | 03:27 |
| ziroday | roffe: have you read the release notes? | 03:27 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, I want to overclock my card using coolbit as it worked great in windows but trying to install the linux version messed up my xorg | 03:27 |
| roffe | ziroday: unfortunately not | 03:27 |
| Lisa1 | ziroday: I have no 3D working, so I figured it doesn't work :( furthermore I can't dim my laptop screen | 03:28 |
| ziroday | !notes | roffe you need the part about atheros cards, it tells you how there | 03:28 |
| ubottu | roffe you need the part about atheros cards, it tells you how there: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 03:28 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: overclocking is really, really not recommended here. Anyway you should use the nvclock app in the repos | 03:28 |
| FloridaBSD | Lisa1: : What chipset are you running on? | 03:28 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: okay, what graphics card do you have (if you know?) | 03:29 |
| roffe | Thanks a lot ziroday! I'll check it out | 03:29 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, ok it installed now what do I do to get a gui back | 03:29 |
| Optimus997 | can anyone help me install package manually? | 03:29 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: erm restart | 03:29 |
| ziroday | Optimus997: what do you mean by manually? | 03:29 |
| Lisa1 | ziroday: FloridaBSD: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) | 03:29 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, so will it autodetect or something | 03:29 |
| ziroday | roffe: that will hopefully get your card working | 03:29 |
| Skry^ | Munchkinguy, XGL is kinda dead. So no. | 03:29 |
| dexter | goat|lappy;i lost ur previous reply...could u repeat....i was just away..... | 03:29 |
| === FloridaBSD is now known as pfexec | ||
| ziroday | rfxcasey: should do | 03:29 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: great, one sec | 03:29 |
| mgolisch | night | 03:30 |
| killerbyte | mgolisch, without ever changing internal disks i think it is too important a task to expect new users to edit config files for | 03:30 |
| mgolisch | tiem for sleep | 03:30 |
| csilk | Strange thing happened with my laptop, software dimmer always worked just fine. Recently I dropped and broke my laptop screen so I bought and fitted a replacement and now the software dimmer doesn't work properly. Pretty strange, no? | 03:30 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, the graphics with ubuntu are really annoying to get working | 03:30 |
| goat|lappy | how about this, its the last of my delicious links on the kernel: http://www.linuxhq.com/lkprogram.html | 03:30 |
| pangloss | !dpkg | Optimus997 | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Optimus997: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 03:30 |
| goat|lappy | dexter: ^^ | 03:30 |
| Optimus997 | ziroday: i wanna install autoconf 2.59c but ubuntu 6.06 has 2.59 and its not updating vis apt-get so i have to install it manually | 03:30 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, I mean if you mess them up | 03:30 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: erm no, you probably did something different :) | 03:30 |
| egoflux | yo | 03:30 |
| pangloss | Optimus997: use dpkg | 03:30 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, they were great on first install | 03:30 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, so is it not suggested to use envy in hoary | 03:31 |
| Optimus997 | is dpkg used like apt-get? | 03:31 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: yep | 03:31 |
| goat|lappy | dexter: ive got to go now though, so good luck with your education | 03:31 |
| kingsofleon | opti yes but it's much more complicated | 03:31 |
| pangloss | Optimus997: $man dpkg | 03:31 |
| dexter | goat|lappy;thanq.... | 03:31 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, yeah it never worked right for me | 03:31 |
| ziroday | Optimus997: sorry, I don't know how to go about that. Have you checked in backports? | 03:31 |
| roffe | ziroday: I will read it more properly, but the proprietary drivers claim the wireless is installed, yet I don't have the option in the networkmanager to choose any wireless | 03:31 |
| === pfexec is now known as FloridaBSD | ||
| rfxcasey | ziroday, ok I rebooted but it takes me to a command line | 03:32 |
| ziroday | roffe: yeah thats known, the package it tells you to install has the newer ath5k dirver with better support for your card | 03:32 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: bah, what does it say in /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the Driver line | 03:32 |
| rebel_kid | can i make a /opt/subdirectory writable by a user other than root | 03:33 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, what is the best way to view it from the command line | 03:33 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, nano? | 03:33 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: can you do compiz --replace at the command line and see what it says please | 03:33 |
| roffe | ziroday: so, they should be activated eventhough I can't get access to wireless in the nwm? | 03:33 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: yep, thats fine | 03:33 |
| pangloss | rebel_kid: yes, use $chown | 03:33 |
| ziroday | roffe: sorry, I don't follow | 03:33 |
| WebcamWonder | Guys, is there a list from nVidia that tells which driver version supports which cards? | 03:33 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, you will have to walk me through it as I am no good with nano | 03:33 |
| w0ls0n | vi rocks | 03:34 |
| Lisa1 | ziroday: Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format | 03:34 |
| ziroday | WebcamWonder: yep, you can see it at nvidia.com. If you tell us the card version I might know :) | 03:34 |
| kingsofleon | webcam if you search for nvidia in synaptic package manager the descriptiosn should say | 03:34 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: no worries | 03:34 |
| killerbyte | mgolisch, i dont think new users should have to edit config files for important basic tasks | 03:34 |
| pangloss | WebcamWonder: yes, i've seen it before, it might have been on nvidea's website | 03:34 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: can you pastebin the entire output please | 03:34 |
| ardchoille | ok, I just enabled compositing in metacity (no nvidia drivers installed) and I got window drop shadows. How can I configure the effects now with metacity? | 03:34 |
| rebel_kid | pangloss, operation not permitted | 03:34 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday, Geforce Go, 6150 (crappy laptop card) | 03:34 |
| roffe | ziroday: the proprietary drivers.. should they be activated? Because even if they are I don't get to see anything about wireless in the networkmanager | 03:34 |
| sergiu | hi | 03:34 |
| Lisa1 | ziroday: I will flood the chat? | 03:35 |
| w0ls0n | it's been a little buggy. I think I am going to convert my vmware box to an EXSi vmware box instead | 03:35 |
| sergiu | i am having problem with validating certificate with svn | 03:35 |
| w0ls0n | hello all. I have a K8U-X motherboard. I have gone through the manual and cannot seem to get sound to work. Can someone give me a hand? | 03:35 |

| WebcamWonder | ziroday, Awesome! thanks! would love if you actually gave me the URL to that page as well :p | 03:36 |
| killerbyte | mgolisch, all basic tasks especially important tasks like browsing internal disk file systems should be very easy to do for new users i think | 03:36 |
| ziroday | WebcamWonder: sure | 03:36 |
| rebel_kid | pangloss, lol dur | 03:36 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: looking | 03:36 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, ok on the device line it says identifier "configured video device" then under that it says options "usefbdev" true | 03:36 |
| pangloss | rebel_kid: =) | 03:36 |
| roffe | ziroday: No I haven't done anything like that.. does it say about that in the link you gave? | 03:36 |
| sergiu | hi, can anyone look please on http://paste.ubuntu.com/69449/ | 03:36 |
| rebel_kid | pangloss, -r to make it recursive? | 03:36 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: there should be a line that says Driver "something" | 03:36 |
| pangloss | rebel_kid: if there are things in the directory then yes, but its a capital R | 03:37 |
| rebel_kid | pangloss, thank you :) | 03:37 |

| sergiu | can anyone helpme | 03:37 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: that appears to have started compiz just fine, whats the issue? | 03:37 |
| Munchkinguy | Skry^: Because my battery life is much shorter after an upgrade to 8.10, and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with 3D acceleration. I disabled the effects, but I assume it's still using the same driver. | 03:37 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, no nothing | 03:37 |
| ramgarden | has anyone tried setting up an ubuntu pc with dial up modem using netzero isp for their parents? | 03:37 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: you are looking in the Section "Device" area correct? | 03:37 |
| Lisa1 | ziroday: I have no 3D support and I also can not adjust brightnes | 03:37 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: hmm well it appears you do have 3d support otherwise compiz shouldn't run | 03:38 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, yes the section device only says exactly what it typed to you | 03:38 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: okay, add the line Drivers "nvidia" | 03:38 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: then close and type in the terminal startx | 03:38 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday, Found it! | 03:38 |
| ziroday | WebcamWonder: great, sorry got sidetracked | 03:39 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday, pangloss, Thank you | 03:39 |
| roffe | ziroday: Sure it mentions it, but I'm not very savvy on Ubuntu.. how do install such a package? It claims to be on the cd | 03:39 |
| Lisa1 | ziroday: this is what chess says: unalbe to enable 3D mode, No Python OpenGL support, No Python GTKGLExt support, but more importantly I need to turn down the brightness before I go blind! | 03:39 |
| actionfigure | anyone use mac4lin theme? :) having issues making the panel look like leopard | 03:39 |
| ziroday | roffe: can you hook your laptop up to an ethernet cable briefly? | 03:39 |
| Skry^ | Munchkinguy, now that you mentioned, i noticed that pulseaudio eats about 19-15% cpu on my acer aspire one if i'm watching movie or so. | 03:39 |
| tyl | hi how to i download x64 packages? is it the same as 32 bit ones? | 03:39 |
| roffe | ziroday: I'm on it now | 03:39 |
| Skry^ | Munchkinguy, sorry, 19 to 25%. | 03:40 |
| ziroday | Lisa1: for the brightness I can't help you. Sorry | 03:40 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, how exactly should I type it | 03:40 |
| ziroday | roffe: open a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic | 03:40 |
| WebcamWonder | Ok, so is there a difference between the 177, and 173 drivers? | 03:40 |
| Munchkinguy | Skry^: I guess I'll stick with ALSA then. | 03:40 |
| Alfalfaz | Could someone help me, my screen goes dark when I watch movies. I have power management settings off. I can still hear sound and SSH to it, but the problem persist through restarting X as well. Only thing that helps is reboot. Please help me, it is driving me nuts | 03:40 |
| tyl | anyone here use 64 bit ubuntu? | 03:41 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: as Drivers "nvidia", with spaces between Drivers and "nvidia" to keep it in line | 03:41 |
| Person12345 | hi all, my Ubuntu Hardy just crashed out of the blue, and when I tried to reboot using ctrl+alt+backspace, it said "I/O Error - missing buffer on device sda1", and then when I tried to reboot completely from bios is told me that it couldn't find menu.lst - I'm booted up in XP now. Any help, please? | 03:41 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, are use sure it's Drivers and not Driver | 03:41 |
| WebcamWonder | tyl, Yes I do | 03:41 |
| Skry^ | Munchkinguy, yeah. but as for 3d, intrepid is using compiz by default. | 03:41 |
| Lisa1 | ziroday: the 3D? and can you tell me how I can change setings of my graphics card? | 03:41 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: woops, drivers sorry | 03:41 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, the other things say driver not drivers | 03:41 |
| roffe | thanks a lot ziroday! I tried doing the same, but I forgot to write "install" :) | 03:41 |
| tyl | WebcamWonder: how do i install 64 bit packages? | 03:41 |
| Alfalfaz | Could someone help me, my screen goes dark when I watch movies. I have power management settings off. I can still hear sound and SSH to it, but the problem persist through restarting X as well. Only thing that helps is reboot. Please help me, it is driving me nuts. I got Xubuntu 32 bit on intel gma945 and C2D 1.8 ghz with 4 gb ram. Using intreprid | 03:41 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: I mean driver | 03:41 |
| IchigoMorino | How do you pipe the output of ALSA to a mic device? | 03:42 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, ok then | 03:42 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, how do I save this | 03:42 |
| tyl | is it exactly the same as 32 bit pakages? | 03:42 |
| WebcamWonder | tyl, Your repositories would be different. So you install it just like regular installation. sudo aptitude install <package_name> | 03:42 |
| tyl | oh i see | 03:42 |
| ziroday | WebcamWonder: if you look http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us your card doesn't appear | 03:42 |
| WebcamWonder | tyl, Scratch that. Repos are same, just there are different builds | 03:42 |
| actionfigure | anyone? | 03:42 |
| tyl | how do i know if i have installed the x64 version | 03:42 |
| WIGGMPk | Can someone please take a screenshot, save it, open the properties and check what it opens with? Or just tell me if you already know? My file associations are f'ed up bad and Im not sure how to fix them | 03:42 |
| killerbyte | please can somebody tell me can you use the gui in ubuntu to set up file systems on internal hard drives to automount? | 03:43 |
| tyl | WebcamWonder: wait in that case are the packages called different names? | 03:43 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, now I got no video signal to my monitor | 03:43 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday, That is weird. On one of their changelogs, they say that my card's support is added | 03:43 |
| ziroday | WIGGMPk: the default gnome screenshot app takes .png files | 03:43 |
| Skry^ | Munchkinguy, actually i'm not sure afterall if it's on by default :P check system > preferences > appearance > visual effects. if its something else than none, then it is. | 03:43 |
| WIGGMPk | ziroday: i know that, but what is .png file associate with? | 03:43 |
| pangloss | Alfalfaz: you have to restore grub | 03:43 |
| WebcamWonder | tyl, No. The package names are same. However, your OS will automatically fetch the correct package based on your distrubution | 03:43 |
| ziroday | WebcamWonder: you sure its a GeforceGo? | 03:43 |
| andrewfree_ | I have emerald themer and a theme installed in it, how to i use it, because i cant figure it out? | 03:43 |
| Bullterd | Does anyone know a FTP client for ubuntu server that would let me "bind" it to a certain interface ? | 03:43 |
| ziroday | WIGGMPk: eye of gnome (eog) | 03:43 |
| WIGGMPk | ziroday: what command opens up the image previewer or whatever the default app is | 03:43 |
| tyl | ahh i see thx | 03:44 |
| Alfalfaz | pangloss: what? | 03:44 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday, Yup. Re-read it once again just to be sure | 03:44 |
| pangloss | !grub | Alfalfaz | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Alfalfaz: 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 | 03:44 |
| tyl | WebcamWonder: but how do i tell if a package is the 64 bit version? | 03:44 |
| WIGGMPk | ziroday: thanks, you wouldnt happen to know how my file associates got screwed and how to fix them? | 03:44 |
| killerbyte | i have tried pysdm storage device manager | 03:44 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday, I already have the drivers installed through Envy. But they are too buggy | 03:44 |
| ziroday | WIGGMPk: nope | 03:44 |
| andrewfree_ | I have emerald themer and a theme installed in it, how to i use it, because i cant figure it out? | 03:44 |
| WebcamWonder | tyl, It usually has things appended to the name. E.g. x386 is 32 bit | 03:44 |
| pangloss | Alfalfaz: your master boot record is borked. follow the RestoreGrub link | 03:44 |
| Led_Hed | I just installed 8.10 desktop (64bit). When I apt-get install mdadm it wants to install citadel-server along with it. Why would a RAID tool need a Groupware Server? | 03:45 |
| WebcamWonder | tyl, Arghhh... i386... sorry | 03:45 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: erm try doing auto monitor adjust on your screen | 03:45 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, says fatal error no screens found | 03:45 |
| tyl | WebcamWonder: how do i call up the name and what is the 64 bit name? | 03:45 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: okay, above that anything? | 03:45 |
| sergiu | anyone know any widget for ubuntu to show the weather ?) | 03:45 |

| andrewfree_ | I have emerald themer and a theme installed in it, how to i use it, because i cant figure it out? | 03:46 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: but you said Driver "nvidia". Do you know how to pastebin your xorg.conf from the command line? | 03:46 |
| Skry^ | Led_Hed, it's dependency for something else. i have mdadm installed, no citadel-server anywhere | 03:46 |
| Alfalfaz | pangloss: I havent said I have lost windows | 03:46 |
| pangloss | scotlfs: have you installed mozilla flash-plugin? | 03:46 |
| === Greg is now known as Gregoryn | ||
| WebcamWonder | tyl, If they have the 64bit build, it would be present as the same package name. It is the job of apt-get to figure out the correct build for your pc. Normally there are about 5 different builds for 1 single package | 03:47 |
| tyl | dexter: i know that but i am trying to make sure all the packages are 64 bit on my server | 03:47 |
| scotlfs | pang: yes | 03:47 |
| dexter | tyl; u can install those softwares which are not in ur repos by adding the APT line | 03:47 |
| dexter | tyl;okk | 03:47 |
| Led_Hed | Skry^, Its a clean install, why would Desktop want Citadel | 03:47 |
| pangloss | Alfalfaz: I know, but your MBR is messed up if it cant find menu.lst | 03:47 |
| scotlfs | pangloss: yes I have | 03:47 |
| tyl | ok thx i'll go and test out stuff now | 03:48 |
| dexter | tyl;;; ur repos will contain automatically 64 bit.....unless u forcibly install 32-bit versions | 03:48 |
| roffe | ziroday: Painless installation. Works perfect! Thanks a lot. | 03:48 |
| Alfalfaz | pangloss: ? I think you are reffering to someone else | 03:48 |

| Alfalfaz | My screen goes dark when I watch movies. I have power management settings off. I can still hear sound and SSH to it, but the problem persist through restarting X as well. Only thing that helps is reboot. I got Xubuntu 32 bit on intel gma945 and C2D 1.8 ghz with 4 gb ram. Using intreprid. | 03:49 |
| andrewfree_ | can anyone help me? | 03:49 |
| scotlfs | pangloss: the funny thing is, I can view the 2 minute previews, but the full episodes of ANY show on NBC won't play | 03:49 |
| Alfalfaz | pangloss: thats my issue | 03:49 |
| pangloss | Alfalfaz: whoops! lol | 03:49 |
| andrewfree_ | this is a very basic question | 03:49 |

| pangloss | Person12345: restore your grub | 03:52 |
| ziroday | WebcamWonder: the nvidia-glx-177 package should do it | 03:53 |
| Person12345 | pangloss: is there a way to do that without overwriting my windows boot | 03:53 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, Have you actually tried starting emerald? Or are you still on the default Human theme? | 03:53 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, how does this pastebinit work | 03:53 |
| Led_Hed | Skry^, its a known bug. Bug #280414: | 03:53 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday, That is weird. I have 173 installed | 03:53 |
| andrewfree_ | WebcamWonder: Better question, how do i start it? | 03:53 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, ALT + F2 => emerald --replace | 03:53 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: it simple. type in the command less /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit and it will output a hyperlink | 03:54 |
| rfxcasey | ziroday, it says (end) -next: pastebinit | 03:54 |
| step21 | scotlfs: make sure you're in the US for a start? | 03:54 |
| ziroday | WebcamWonder: that should be fine as well, I honestly have no idea what the difference is | 03:54 |
| pangloss | Person12345: did you read the howto I sent you??? its ok to overwrite the windows bootloader and use grub | 03:54 |
| dian | dodol | 03:54 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: erm you are in a terminal correct? | 03:54 |
| pangloss | Person12345: youre not overwriting windows..... | 03:54 |
| rfxcasey | yeah | 03:54 |

| rfxcasey | ziroday, yea | 03:55 |
| dian | oi | 03:55 |
| WebcamWonder | ziroday, Looking around in launchpad. I see I am affected by a lot of bugs related to Window decorations and various glitches. I just wandered if I am not on the wrong drivers or anything | 03:55 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, Did it work? | 03:55 |
| w0ls0n | nope, shouting didn't work | 03:55 |
| ce_qiut | oi jua | 03:55 |
| ziroday | rfxcasey: okay, and you typed in less /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit exactly. Note | is shift \ under the backspace key on most keyboards | 03:55 |
| step21 | scotlfs: also make sure you're using the latest flashplayer. not sure if this actually works on linux, just used it on os x and windows | 03:55 |

| izzy200198 | i need help with this one. i installed 8.10 as a dualboot on xp machine. when install completed and the machine rebooted there was no grub menu and just went into xp | 04:02 |

| Brainy | What's the easiest way to tell if a live cd I have is the 64 bit or 32 bit version? | 04:06 |
| rfxcasey | it was working fine till I save my xorg conf now the xorg conf is practically empty and I have no signal to the monitor | 04:06 |
| WebcamWonder | Brainy, Is it burned? Is it ISO? Are you booted into the LiveCD? | 04:07 |
| rww | Brainy: boot it up and do "uname -a" from a terminal. If it's 64-bit, "x86_64" will be near the end of the output | 04:07 |
| rww | Brainy: there's probably an easier way, but I don't have a live CD handy to check | 04:07 |

| gavagai | I have a core 2 duo. should i stick with the 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit? | 04:08 |
| Grey_Loki | gavagai, depends how much RAM you have | 04:08 |
| DanaG | good question. What benefit does 64-bit give, anyway? | 04:08 |
| w0ls0n | 64 bit would prob be faster | 04:08 |
| DanaG | I'll be using 4 gigs. | 04:08 |
| rww | gavagai: you could use either (core 2 supports 64-bit). it depends on whether you need the benefits of 64-bit or not ;-) | 04:08 |
| DanaG | What _are_ those benefits? | 04:09 |
| KyPoHja | 64 bit is for prositutes | 04:09 |
| w0ls0n | FAST? | 04:09 |
| rww | DanaG: if you're just doing normal desktop work, not much. I use 64-bit because I do distributed computing and have an SSSE3-optimized client for it =/ | 04:09 |
| Skry^ | gavagai, i'd go with 64-bit, as you have 64-bit cpu and your gonna upgrade to 8 gigs anyways ;) | 04:10 |

| Brainy | Thanks :D | 04:10 |

| Zuwer | Just curious, is there any web server thing I can get for Ubuntu, I have only used Ubuntu for about a day now | 04:17 |

| ubottu | zuwer: Package apache does not exist in intrepid | 04:18 |

| rww | !info apache2 | Zuwer | 04:18 |
| ubottu | zuwer: apache2 (source: apache2): Apache HTTP Server metapackage. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.9-7ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 43 kB, installed size 100 kB | 04:18 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: do you mean the entry "command" where /usr/bin/compiz-decorator normally is entered? | 04:18 |
| Zuwer | ? | 04:18 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, Yes. You can just replace that with "emerald" (without quotes). No need for the --replace I told you earlier | 04:18 |
| ohdamnallnics | anyway to see what my onboard video (not in use) and soundcard are? | 04:18 |
| rww | Zuwer: try the apache2 package. It's a very popular webserver | 04:18 |

| WIGGMPk | Can anyone help me? My file associations are borked. png images open with "Firefox" "Sunbird Calendar" instead of Eye of Gnome.

| bazhang | KyPoHja, stop | 04:19 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, Nope. You can do a emerald --replace for now. And on next Gdm start, compiz will call emerald rather than the regular Window decorator | 04:19 |
| KyPoHja | WIGGMPk: there are properties for each files, you can select app | 04:20 |

| WIGGMPk | KyPoHja: i know, but when opening properties and selecting the "Open With" tab on lets say a debian package. it does not show gdebi-gtk or gdebi... for compressed files it does not show the option for file-roller.. I have to manually add the command.. which with the fear of sounding lazy, is not something I want to do with every type of file. I shouldnt have to | 04:21 |

| Brucevdk | If anybody has extensive experience with setting up permissions on locally shared folders between multiple users, e.g. using traditional UGO permissions or POSIX ACLs could one take a look at the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975488 The problem is that when copying files into the shared folder, the permissions of those files are preserved (denying other people access in certain cases). | 04:25 |
| Doitle2 | Is there perhaps a way to remote desktop into an ubuntu install from Windows? | 04:25 |
| rww | !vnc | Doitle2 | 04:25 |
| ubottu | Doitle2: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 04:25 |
| rww | Doitle2: install a VNC server on the ubuntu install, then use a vnc client on the windows computer | 04:26 |
| auk | anyway...any suggestions? i can get the resolution right for my user account, but it won't last past a reboot | 04:26 |

| andrewfree_ | WebcamWonder: Hey sorry i was helping someone out with their comp, but i still have that emerald problem, and i left before i could see what you had to say about it. | 04:27 |
| WebcamWonder | Brucevdk, I am just a noob. But the man page of "cp" allows you to specify which attributes not to copy. It says you can specify permissions | 04:27 |
| Brucevdk | WebcamWonder: uh huh, I don't control the end user (only the server) :-) | 04:27 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, No problem. You might want to try some other theme and see if it gives you the same problem | 04:27 |

| Alfalfaz | Brucevdk: yes | 04:33 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, Oh yes. I think you need to install the aurora engine. Hold on | 04:33 |
| Brucevdk | Alfalfaz: in case of GNOME one thing I'd try was to login to the TTY on F1, then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 04:33 |
| andrewfree_ | Its it in yum? WebcamWonder | 04:33 |
| andrewfree_ | Do i even have yum? | 04:34 |
| andrewfree_ | XD let me check | 04:34 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, YOu would have apt in Ubuntu. Hold on let me check | 04:34 |
| Alfalfaz | Brucevdk: I did that, still dark | 04:34 |
| Alfalfaz | now tty dissapeared.. Its the same thing as doiung ctrl alt backspace | 04:34 |

Is there main system folder(bin, etc ... ) in the filesystem that I would be able to find the configuration settings and then manually change the running re | 04:35 |
| Myyoga | solution? | 04:35 |
| Alfalfaz | Brucevdk: as in screen went dark again after restarting GDM | 04:35 |

| Brucevdk | MurielGodoi: yes, but I don't know from the top of my head how | 04:35 |
| Brucevdk | Alfalfaz: what video card/drivers you using? | 04:35 |

I got Xubuntu 32 bit on intel gma945 and C2D 1.8 ghz with 4 gb ram. Using intreprid. | 04:36 |
| rww | Myyoga: it's probably in your home folder. Open it up in the file manager and press Ctrl-h to show hidden files and folders. There's probably something like .nexuiz in there. | 04:36 |
| Brucevdk | Alfalfaz: ah yes :) | 04:36 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, Ok. Apparently. Google search says that it isn't in repos | 04:36 |
| Myyoga | rww: thank you I will try that | 04:36 |
| Brucevdk | Alfalfaz: does this only happen with XMBC? | 04:36 |
| Alfalfaz | Brucevdk: I hve also tried typing xset s noblank s 0 0 -dpms off | 04:36 |
| Alfalfaz | Brucevdk: yes | 04:37 |
| Brucevdk | Alfalfaz: so you can play something with say VLC for example and it doesn't happen? It also doesn't happen automatically only when you play movies using XMBC? | 04:37 |

| esac | if anybody has ever used OneNote, I want the screen clipping functionality in linux. I just want to hit a shortcut key (Super+S for example), select an area of screen, and then it would save it as a screenshot. any ideas what can do that ? | 04:49 |
| storm-zen | that appears to be the case, xjkx. How long have you been trying to figure it out. Sound on Linux is a mess, right now... | 04:49 |
| hellhound_ | Brucevdk, how? | 04:49 |
| storm-zen | *figure it out? | 04:49 |
| Brucevdk | hellhound_: Python + Google Search API | 04:49 |
| rsvp | esac, I would first try google Notebook widget in your browser | 04:49 |
| wos | could someone tell me how to execute this command: deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor <DISTRIBUTION> main | 04:49 |
| hellhound_ | Brucevdk, what is python? | 04:50 |
| ville__ | Ok I Installed gpsdrive but when I try to run it I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/69493/ | 04:50 |
| rsvp | a very smart snake | 04:50 |
| rsvp | ;) | 04:50 |
| Brucevdk | hellhound_: it's a programming language :-) I might take back what I said about "relatively easy" | 04:50 |
| bazhang | rsvp, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:50 |
| wos | could someone tell me how to execute this command: deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor <DISTRIBUTION> main | 04:50 |
| rsvp | I forget to add the smilely | 04:50 |
| Brucevdk | hellhound_: it's relatively easy to hire someone to write you that program though | 04:50 |
| hellhound_ | Brucevdk, LOL ok,but you do not know of a program that already exists right? | 04:51 |
| rww | wos: open System > Admininstration > Software Sources. Click the "Third-Party Software" tab. Click Add.... Copy that line into the prompt that comes up, changing <DISTRIBUTION> to whatever your distribution is (if you're not sure, ask and I'll show you how to find it). | 04:51 |
| Brucevdk | hellhound_: not without Googling no | 04:51 |
| hellhound_ | Brucevdk, thank you :) | 04:51 |
| Brucevdk | hellhound_: actually I do | 04:51 |
| Brucevdk | hellhound_: there's Google Alerts | 04:52 |

| Doonz | evening all | 04:52 |
| andrewfree_ | WebcamWonder: Nope, none of the engines work | 04:52 |
| Brucevdk | hellhound_: tell me if that works for you | 04:52 |
| Doonz | Ok have a few questions | 04:52 |
| Doonz | ok just one | 04:52 |
| Doonz | How do i move one software raid array from one system onto another | 04:53 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, That is odd. So what do you have as your window decorations right now? | 04:53 |
| rww | mintsoup: it's very variable in quality. Works fine for some people, doesn't work at all for others | 04:53 |
| xjkx | storm-zen: not that long | 04:53 |
| andrewfree_ | apearance then like some osx looking one i found | 04:53 |
| rww | mintsoup: It's non-free, closed-source software, so we can't improve it much :( | 04:53 |
| hellhound_ | Brucevdk, trying it now. | 04:54 |
| storm-zen | esac: Anyway, gnome has a screen capture applet. | 04:54 |
| mintsoup | rww: do you think that hand-installing the package from adobe would be a worthwhile thing to do, or should i just try to use gnash or whatever that free version is.. | 04:54 |
| xjkx | its a simple question i guess, but at this time people are sleeping or something | 04:54 |
| Lifesf | Hi; would anyone here happen to know why gproftpd (gadmin-proftpd) crashes automatically after opening? | 04:54 |

| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, hmm. Looking at my list. All my themes are vrunner based. | 04:55 |
| ubuntu | hi | 04:55 |
| storm-zen | xjkx: No, it's not really a simple question. | 04:55 |
| andrewfree_ | I have that engine | 04:55 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, Is there any particular you are looking at? | 04:55 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree_, theme* | 04:55 |

| storm-zen | xjkx: It can be, depending on seemingly random factors, but sound is a strange, sticky issue for some... for one thing, there are multiple mixer settings that sometimes come into play. | 04:56 |

| mintsoup | does anyone know of a way to get video playback to work well when running compiz on newer ati cards | 04:57 |
| storm-zen | esac: If you feel like just trying something, you can start here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller | 04:57 |
| andrewfree | mmk i kept having to switch keyboards WebcamWonder now im on linux | 04:57 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree, Ok. So is there a specific theme you are looking at? | 04:57 |
| rww | mintsoup: you could try gnash, but it's kinda a mess. I'd go with flashplugin-nonfree as a first option, and possibly Adobe as a second option (though I haven't installed from Adobe's package before) | 04:58 |
| chivafighter | thank you very much rww | 04:58 |
| andrewfree | WebcamWonder, nope, just one that looks nice | 04:58 |

| andrewfree | I changed my theme in appearance preferences to the default | 04:58 |
| storm-zen | !sound | 04:58 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 04:58 |
| andrewfree | quittt, write a script using the command mount | 04:58 |
| andrewfree | and set it to run on boot | 04:58 |
| mintsoup | quittt: edit /etc/fstab | 04:59 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree. emerald has never done that to me. It crashes with me a lot, but never done that | 04:59 |
| WebcamWonder | !fstab | quittt | 04:59 |

| Lifesf | Hi; would anyone here happen to know why gproftpd (gadmin-proftpd) crashes automatically after opening? | 05:00 |
| Lifesf | I have not been able to use it at all; I think the last time i was able to use it was when i was running, i believe it was gutsy | 05:00 |

| tarelerulz | I have mess up 3 dvdr trying to burn the Ubuntu 8.10 iso . One just burnt the file and it would not boot. I don't think getting a new dvd iso burning program would work . How would I fix the dvd burn drive itself. | 05:02 |
| Doonz | was hoping someone could just point me to a post in the forum | 05:02 |
| andrewfree | My graphics card sucks and cant even use effects with compiz | 05:02 |
| bruenig | lucax: no idea but I would guess not as that would be a silly design | 05:02 |
| arooni | and also if i've done the package installation libmsyql-java (j connector for mysql)... how would i adjust classpath to be set appropriately? "shell> export set CLASSPATH=/path/mysql-connector-java-[ver]-bin.jar:$CLASSPATH" | 05:03 |
| lucax | bruenig, i have it running, but doesnt change the wallpaper in the time i set | 05:03 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree, I don't know if you can use emerald without compiz or not. | 05:03 |

| Venin | how to install net::pcap? | 05:11 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree, Sorry, i missed your post. Goto appearence, effects and turn on the effects | 05:11 |
| seaoftea | I accidentally removed the standard gnome network monitor applet from the top bar and am wondering how to get it back. The one in the "add to panel" dialog box isn't the same one. | 05:11 |
| Eulalia | bamball, I can't use my linux atm (it won't work with my wireless card :\ ) But what should I look for after I type sudo lshw | less ? | 05:12 |
| Sweetandy | 8.10 comes with build-essential preinstalled! I love Canonical and the developers around the world!! | 05:12 |
| andrewfree | WebcamWonder, Desktop effects cant be enabled | 05:12 |
| WebcamWonder | seaoftea, nm-applet? I haven't used it quite some time now. But I think that is the name of the applet | 05:12 |
| seaoftea | Sweetandy: Mine didn't come with build-essential preinstalled | 05:12 |
| russianphysicist | hi all, I'm trying to reinstall Grub but I keep on getting Error 15: file not fount. I'm not sure where to find my /boot, despite the numerous howtos on the forums. I'm on the LiveCD for 8.04 right now | 05:13 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree, Sorry. That means your graphics card isn't probably supported | 05:13 |
| andrewfree | thought so | 05:13 |
| n8tuser | seaoftea-> on system--preferences--main menu look for the menu entry for it | 05:13 |
| andrewfree | XD there was a box of em, and i grabbed the biggest one cuz i had to hurry up | 05:13 |
| andrewfree | should of got an nvidia one | 05:13 |
| Sweetandy | seaoftea: The LiveCD, anyway. | 05:13 |
| seaoftea | ahhh, lol. I was making it harder than it had to be | 05:13 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree, If you like some nice ones. There are some nice GTK2.0+ themes on gnome-look. | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | Desktop effects are overrated. :) | 05:13 |
| seaoftea | All you do is drag it, I'm an idiot | 05:14 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree, dr_willis, So true. I personally disabled them after 2 weeks, thinking why I should waste 1 second seeing my window minimize | 05:14 |
| seaoftea | thanx n8tuser | 05:14 |
| seaoftea | IDK about U, but I love the desktop effects | 05:15 |
| seaoftea | Better than mac and vista | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | WebcamWonder, or watch the 'wiggly windows' maxamize effect.. get stuck. and stay wiggling for 10+min. :) | 05:15 |
| leohartx | how do i install psx and pcsx 2 ? | 05:15 |
| lucax | anyother app for changin wallpapers but wallpaper-tray? | 05:15 |
| mintsoup | dr_willis wiggly windows is one of the effects that is totally pointless and i always turn it off | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | I can think of 2 features of compiz i like. the mazamize, and the preview in panel features | 05:15 |
| WebcamWonder | dr_willis, Seriously. Wobbly Windows is the worst plugin to be ever created in terms of regular day productivity :p | 05:15 |
| sambagirl | everytime i do something it says host not recognized or something like that. i thought the computer name was the hostname? | 05:15 |
| andrewfree | WebcamWonder, Yea pretty cool | 05:15 |
| andrewfree | ill wait for the cool stuff thou like wobbly windows when i get a new mobo and card | 05:16 |
| mintsoup | there are several compiz plugins though which I feel do improve the useability of gnome | 05:16 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> open an xterm while on liveCD and get into root mode and type grub | 05:16 |

| J-a-k-e | Hi all, aside from getting a logitech squeezebox or something like that. Can anyone tell me if the sound quality in ubuntu compares to that of windows xp? | 05:16 |
| seaoftea | watch it noa! | 05:16 |
| WebcamWonder | dr_willis, Haha. No problem. Glad to help :) | 05:16 |
| n8tuser | sambagirl-> look at your entries in /etc/hosts | 05:16 |
| andrewfree | Im out!!! | 05:16 |
| WebcamWonder | dr_willis, That is a nice idea. Maybe I should turn that on, so I can get the PC to myself as well :p | 05:17 |
| xorlim | JackWinter: I like the sound quality of Ubuntu. | 05:17 |
| andrewfree | off to solve css problems | 05:17 |
| mintsoup | J-a-k-e why wouldn't it?.. | 05:17 |
| WebcamWonder | andrewfree, Bye! | 05:17 |
| sambagirl | it says unable to resolve host jaguar | 05:17 |
| seaoftea | Anyone know anything about wireless internet security? | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | WebcamWonder, then i showed her the zoom.. so shes on it 2x as much now. | 05:17 |
| sambagirl | that is the hostname why is it not able to see itself? | 05:17 |
| andrewfree | xorlim, thats your auido card not the OS | 05:17 |
| xorlim | andrewfree: yes. | 05:17 |
| WebcamWonder | dr_willis, TBH. I use the zoom instead of the flash fullscreen. Flash fullscreen actually drops FPS | 05:17 |
| sambagirl | wouldnt it be localhost? | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | seaoftea, care to ask the channel a bit more percise question? :) | 05:17 |
| seaoftea | lol | 05:17 |
| n8tuser | sambagirl-> are you trying to resolve a remote host? | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | WebcamWonder, yep. exact use - she uses it for | 05:18 |
| n8tuser | sambagirl-> look at your entries in /etc/hosts | 05:18 |
| sambagirl | no i am testing something in vmware using hardy and it just doesnt seem to be working properly for some reason. | 05:18 |
| n8tuser | !who | sambagirl | 05:18 |

| seaoftea | Yeah, I was just wondering how safe it is for me to have no encryption over my wireless network. I instead us mac address filters. I know that someone could easily spoof their mac address, but how like is that really? Also is there a way for them to scan for my mac address? | 05:20 |
| russianphysicist | hi all, I'm trying to reinstall Grub but I keep on getting Error 15: file not fount. I'm not sure where to find my /boot, despite the numerous howtos on the forums. I'm on the LiveCD for 8.04 right now | 05:20 |
| mncvn | I install xvnkb for key stroke management. | 05:20 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> open an xterm while on liveCD and get into root mode and type grub | 05:20 |
| mncvn | but i don't know how to disable autorun of this program | 05:20 |
| WebcamWonder | seaoftea, Encryption encrypts all your data as well. If you don't have any encrpytion, any sniffer could snif entire network packets. | 05:20 |
| mncvn | Where I must check??? | 05:20 |
| WebcamWonder | seaoftea, And using the sniffing, extracting mac address is relatively painless. Just like spoofing your own mac address | 05:21 |
| seaoftea | crap | 05:21 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: I've done that, and when I type "find /boot/grub/stage1" it returns error 15 file not found again (same for find /grub/stage1) | 05:21 |
| mintsoup | mncvn: is there an entry for it in /etc/rc2.d? | 05:21 |
| J-a-k-e | mintsoup: Maybe it's just my sound card because I've got a rather decent sound setup. Speakers and amp connected to my sound card and everything sounds great in windows xp. I tested in running oss4 it sounded ok but the difference was somewhat like going back to onboard sound | 05:21 |
| Lifesf | gadmin-tools help required; it crashes upon startup | 05:21 |
| tmpprob | may i be next please | 05:22 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> which hd and partition is your /boot/grub/stage1 installed at? | 05:22 |
| seaoftea | the problem is I have so many devices, and some of them only accept certain encryption like wep, which is pointless because wep can be crack just as easy as having no encryption | 05:22 |
| cilkay | Hello. I have a script that I use for backing up a remote server to my local machine. It uses rsync over ssh and works fine if I invoke it from a shell. If I attempt to invoke the backup script via cron by putting a script in /etc/cron.d/, it never executes. Any ideas? | 05:22 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: that's the thing - I initially installed ubuntu from inside XP, so my only partition is /dev/sda1, and I don't know how to get at /boot | 05:22 |
| cilkay | I've restarted cron. | 05:22 |
| Brucevdk | tmpprob: it's /tmp | 05:22 |
| Venin | how do i find NetPacket for ubuntu? i cant find it in repos | 05:23 |
| WebcamWonder | seaoftea, The point is. Even for WEP. Someone has to spend 10 minutes cracking it. Open is, just open | 05:23 |
| tmpprob | ty bruce | 05:23 |
| seaoftea | yeah | 05:23 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> installed ubuntu inside XP ? how? or are you referring to wubi? | 05:23 |
| tmpprob | what tmp folder bruce? | 05:24 |
| n8tuser | Venin-> do a apt-cache search netpacket assuming thats the name of the package | 05:24 |
| Brucevdk | tmpprob: what are you trying to do? | 05:24 |
| seaoftea | I should probably encrypt, though I literally don't have anything to hide. And when ever I send anything like credit card numbers I only go through 128 bit ssl. | 05:24 |

| tmpprob | 6- Fix the permissions for the tmp directory and restart Apache (for the new permissions to work) | 05:25 |
| n8tuser | Venin-> then maybe it does not exist or has a different name | 05:25 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: no, I am not referring to wubi - I was in XP, and insterted the Ubuntu disk and installed it. from within XP. There is a c:/ubuntu which contains all the system files, but since they're in a different file system, windows can't see them, but since I created that while in XP, no partition editor sees it as a separate partition, so my only bootable partition is /dev/sda1, which is hpfs/ntfs | 05:25 |
| Venin | n8tuser: exactly.. | 05:25 |
| Brucevdk | tmpprob: that's because you're inside tmp | 05:26 |

| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> am not sure how you were even able to run the installation from within XP, lest you were using wubi | 05:26 |
| tmpprob | ah i see | 05:26 |
| Brucevdk | tmpprob: try ../tmp | 05:26 |
| pangloss | tmpprob: go up one directory and do it again | 05:26 |
| seaoftea | or do other illegal activities | 05:26 |
| seaoftea | hmmm | 05:27 |
| seaoftea | not good | 05:27 |
| n8tuser | Venin-> google for an equivalent name or functionality | 05:27 |
| Venin | im trying.. but cant find | 05:27 |
| Venin | hehe | 05:27 |
| n8tuser | !return | seaoftea | 05:27 |
| mncvn | sorry, my network's such. | 05:27 |
| ubottu | seaoftea: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:27 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: neither am I, but I know for a fact that what I was using then is not wubi, but a bona fide Ubuntu install disk | 05:27 |
| storm-zen | anyone know how to run alsa-config? | 05:28 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: it's the same disk I'm booting off now | 05:28 |
| seaoftea | yeah, ok I'm definately going to encrypt | 05:28 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> you meant you booted off a liveCD or the alternatecd ? | 05:28 |
| dulak | seaoftea: I use wep on my wireless, then openvpn on my clients so everything is really encrypted on wireless, even if they break the wep key they won't break openvpn | 05:28 |
| storm-zen | sorry.. alsa-info.. not config. | 05:28 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> then if that is the same cd, then it is liveCD as you said earlier you are in livecd | 05:28 |
| storm-zen | !alsa | 05:28 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:28 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: yes, I am in livecd, like I said above | 05:29 |
| nachi_ | hey guys. ive brought a dedicated server with webmin control panel, now i need to move my domains, but first i need to setup the nameservers or somthing... anyone can explain me what i should do ? godaddy dont allow me to redirect the dns servers of the domain to ip address... | 05:29 |
| seaoftea | Thanks 2 everbody for answering mine and everyone elses questions. With out you guys we'd all be left in the dark. | 05:29 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> so go ahead and re-install the ubuntu | 05:30 |
| DallasG | I need to remotely enable the standard Remote Desktop Connection via ssh -- anyone have any information on that? | 05:30 |
| cilkay | seaoftea, dulak By the time you add the overhead of WEP, OpenVPN, the general suckiness of wireless, you'll have a blazing 14.4 dial-up connection :) | 05:30 |
| lianimator | vlc player occasionally freezes the video and only sound is playing. I have to rewind a bit and it'll refresh. anyone have this problem? | 05:30 |
| seaoftea | lol | 05:30 |
| dulak | cilkay: I push 3M/sec across wireless with openvpn and wep | 05:30 |
| Optimus997 | is it possible to use autoconf 2.61 or higher for Ubuntu 6.06? | 05:30 |
| seaoftea | 3 megabits? | 05:31 |
| J-a-k-e | I suppose what I'm really asking is does Ubuntu compare to windowsxp when it comes to high quality audio. Talking bookshelf speakers and amp connected to soundcard and active sub also connected to soundcard | 05:31 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: I'm not particularly keen on losing all the files/settins/programs I've got set up, I was hoping there'd be a way to do it without reinstalling the whole thing | 05:31 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> do a fdisk -l and tell me the results | 05:31 |
| cilkay | J-a-k-e: You know about the UbuntuStudio project? | 05:32 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> btw, this a new install today? | 05:32 |
| dr_willis | DallasG, I sort of did that once on a remote box. by first installing vnc and running gnome inside that vnc session. then i enabled the desktop shareing and set it to always be on , and autologing in. Then once i reset the box. it would auto login to that user and have remote desktop going. | 05:32 |
| tmpprob | bruse if i showed you some tutorial text could you help me it is alot easier then me a ubuntu newb trying to explain it | 05:32 |
| Lifesf | could gproftpd problem have something to do with something i have read: Contents-amd64 ? | 05:32 |
| tmpprob | *bruce | 05:32 |
| Brucevdk | tmpprob: sure I've got a few minutes | 05:32 |
| DallasG | I tried adding vnc4server | 05:32 |
| DallasG | I connected, but it was just at command line | 05:32 |
| DallasG | What would I do after that? | 05:32 |
| dr_willis | DallasG, I dont know the name of the control panel to enable it from the terminal. | 05:32 |
| tmpprob | # vi /etc/group .. From: ossec:x:1002: To (if your web server user is www): ossec:x:1002:www is what i done | 05:32 |
| seaoftea | Does anyone know of any prog with all of the features of ksynaptics for gnome? Gsynaptics is missing quite a few. | 05:33 |
| tmpprob | 5- Add your web server user (apache, www or nobody) to the ossec group: | 05:33 |
| centaur5 | A preseed file that I used with Hardy doesn't point an Intrepid install the right mirror and it still stops for a user when it's not supposed to. Did something change? | 05:33 |
| dr_willis | DallasG, you must edit the .vnc/xstartup script to run the gnome-session , then quit/restart the vnc4server | 05:33 |
| tmpprob | the above text | 05:33 |
| DallasG | okay, thanks :) | 05:33 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: no, not a new install, I've had it installed for months now, and I didn't do anything when ubuntu crashed, it just sort of stopped working completely randomly, all the programs just crashed and cpu went to 100% | 05:33 |
| dulak | seaoftea: 300k/sec or better usually with openvpn and wep | 05:33 |
| tmpprob | 6- Fix the permissions for the tmp directory and restart Apache (for the new permissions to work) | 05:33 |
| dr_willis | DallasG, vncserver is a bit 'tricky' in that it doese4nt install a totally useable setup | 05:33 |
| Optimus997 | is it possible to use autoconf 2.61 or higher for Ubuntu 6.06? | 05:33 |
| tmpprob | # chmod 770 tmp/ # chgrp www tmp/ # apachectl restart | 05:33 |
| Brucevdk | tmpprob: you'll probably want to link or pastebin to the instructions | 05:33 |
| J-a-k-e | cilkay: I've read a little bit about it but always assumed it's more for people who want to do audio recording and such. I'm mostly just looking to play music here | 05:33 |
| tmpprob | http://www.ossec.net/wiki/index.php/OSSECWUI:Install | 05:34 |
| tmpprob | its a shiot install | 05:34 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m76111bf0 | 05:34 |
| tmpprob | short | 05:34 |
| cilkay | centaur5: You're probably better off asking on #ubuntu-installer | 05:34 |
| storm-zen | is oss4 a better option for ubuntu intrepid? I'm hitting all kinds of dead ends with alsa. | 05:34 |
| tmpprob | but im having some problems | 05:34 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Thanks, I didn't know about that channel. | 05:34 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> i dont believe ubuntu got installed | 05:35 |
| seaoftea | dulak: thats not bad, but I can pull down 800-850kb/s if I'm near the router | 05:35 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: I've been booting into it since june... | 05:35 |
| seaoftea | thats with no encryption | 05:35 |
| scotlfs | I want to install software for my webcam, there seem to be a lot of choices of packages, and I don't know which I need...I want to take still pictures, movies, and chat with skype for example....any recommendations? | 05:35 |
| cilkay | centaur5: I had a bunch of preseed questions a few weeks ago and asked here, on the mailing list, and on the forum. The only place I ever got useful, if any, answers was on #ubuntu-installer | 05:35 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> on same hd? or a another one? | 05:35 |
| pangloss | !webcam | scotlfs | 05:35 |
| ubottu | scotlfs: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 05:35 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: on this hd, this computer, this setup, everything | 05:35 |
| scotlfs | ubottu: thanx | 05:36 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 05:36 |
| Brucevdk | tmpprob: ok well, the user for apache is 'www-data' not www, the command to restart Apache 2 is sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 05:36 |
| pangloss | lol | 05:36 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Are you preseeding Intrepid? | 05:36 |
| dulak | seaoftea: I can pull that anywhere in my house if I turn openvpn off | 05:36 |
| scotlfs | lol, thanx pangloss | 05:36 |
| cilkay | J-a-k-e: My Kubuntu system sounds great playing MP3, movies, and streaming radio. No complaints. | 05:36 |
| seaoftea | right | 05:36 |
| tmpprob | ahhhhh | 05:36 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> it does not seem like it, you dont show other partitions that is linux compatible, per your paste | 05:36 |
| cilkay | centaur5: No, and I probably won't since I'm only interested in LTS for now. | 05:36 |
| grant931 | I get this message when trying to do this command: | 05:36 |
| tmpprob | ok thanks bruce | 05:36 |
| dulak | seaoftea: I'm just saying with openvpn and wep, I get 300k/sec, which isn't horrible for a fully encrypted wireless link | 05:36 |
| Optimus997 | is it possible to use autoconf 2.61 or higher for Ubuntu 6.06? | 05:36 |
| grant931 | grant@monster:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda6 /home/grant/files && chown grant:users /home/grant/files | 05:36 |

| === Guest1511 is now known as Jacobbs | ||
| grant931 | it is a FAT32 FS, what is going on? | 05:37 |
| dulak | seaoftea: it would be a lot better if I moved openvpn off my linksys router and onto an actual computer | 05:37 |
| grant931 | I did | 05:37 |
| scotlfs | pangloss, I have a dynex (cheapo best buy brand), have any clue what it really is? | 05:37 |
| grant931 | grant@monster:~$ sudo chown grant:users /home/grant/files | 05:37 |
| grant931 | chown: changing ownership of `/home/grant/files': Operation not permitted | 05:37 |
| dulak | seaoftea: but my linksys router with the 16mhz cpu gives me 300k, which is fine for anything I care to encrypt | 05:37 |
| cilkay | centaur5: some of the apps that we depend on haven't been ported to KDE 4 yet so we'll wait until they are before making the leap from Kubuntu Hardy. | 05:37 |
| seaoftea | dulak: yeah but who wants a big ol box for a router | 05:38 |
| Kinks | how can I close an X display from the terminal? | 05:38 |
| Kinks | ie. display 3 | 05:38 |
| grant931 | so what is going on? | 05:38 |
| dulak | seaoftea: I have a linux workstation I could put openvpn on for this, but meh, 300k is fine for hitting a bank site or whatever I need to do with full encryption | 05:38 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Well thanks for the heads up. Good luck with KDE it seems to be a mess right now. | 05:38 |
| pangloss | grant931: can you try removing the :users part? thats the only thing that seems wierd | 05:38 |
| cilkay | centaur5: Actually, what works is working very well. It's just missing some bits. | 05:38 |
| J-a-k-e | cilkay: what kind of setup do you have in the way of speakers and soundcard? | 05:38 |
| seaoftea | right | 05:39 |
| spolvid | Can someone help me? I just installed Ubuntu on a Mac Mini and it just sits at a blank screen with a flashing underline in the upper left corner. | 05:39 |
| spolvid | I can't type or anything. | 05:39 |
| grant931 | same error | 05:39 |
| cilkay | J-a-k-e: Onboard AC97 sound card. External Polk speakers - nothing fancy. I've run XP on the same machine and certainly didn't notice any change one way or the other. | 05:39 |
| dulak | seaoftea: openvpn can work on windows and mac too, I have it on my g/f mac and my roommate's windows lappy | 05:40 |
| dulak | seaoftea: it's quite nifty imo | 05:40 |
| cilkay | centaur5: Can you pastebin the relevant bits from your preseed file? I'll compare to what I have to see if there's anything obvious. | 05:40 |
| pangloss | grant931: that really doesnt make sense.. who owns the /files? try the -v option maybe it will give you more info | 05:41 |
| seaoftea | I don't have an open router so I can't tinker, just your standard fair | 05:41 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: any more advice/ideas, or are you giving up? | 05:41 |
| robert__ | problem with vmnet config files i can't get networking going on any vmware appliances | 05:41 |
| seaoftea | at least it has decent QOS though | 05:42 |
| dulak | seaoftea: do you have a linux workstation? You can endpoint openvpn into any linux and just nat the tunnel interface out through the wire | 05:42 |
| Lifesf | Ubuntu 8.10, server and desktop installed: lamp server installed; proftpd installed; I can open all of gadmin programs; all but ONE; gadmin-proftpd; it crashes when opening; any kind of help is very appreciated! | 05:42 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: http://pastebin.com/d6d1ba8e | 05:43 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> if your fdisk -l does not show your partition, dont know what else we can do.. | 05:43 |
| J-a-k-e | cilkay: Well that's odd, I've got mission bookshelf speakers and creative x-fi sound card. Sound in ubuntu compared to Xp is muddy, and flat | 05:43 |
| seaoftea | dulak: I'm soley a laptop guy, though I do have a qnap ts101 NAS that runs busybox. I might be able to go through that some how. | 05:43 |

| pangloss | !hi | hot_wheelz | 05:43 |
| ubottu | hot_wheelz: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 05:43 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: I do PXE installs with the alternate CD and it still stops me for the user also all the packages for the install are downloading every single time from the US mirror which is definitely not what I want. | 05:44 |
| billybigrigger | what is the default collation for a mysql db? | 05:44 |
| billybigrigger | utf8-general-ci? | 05:44 |
| seaoftea | I'll have to look into it, though it wouldn't solve my wireless encryption problem | 05:44 |
| Reilithion | On logout, GUI stops working. I get the sense that gdm might be doing something funky, but am not sure. How can I fix this? | 05:44 |
| n8tuser | billybigrigger-> you can ask at #mysql | 05:44 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: alright thanks for your time, I'll keep looking! | 05:44 |
| cilkay | J-a-k-e: With what input? It could be a codec issue. Have you tried playing a CD? | 05:44 |
| hot_wheelz | anyone know if the wifi on a LG XNOTE LE50 series laptop works ootb in 8.10? | 05:45 |
| spolvid | Ubuntu won't boot. It just sits at a starting prompt....thingy. | 05:45 |
| dulak | seaoftea: busybox probably won't have the stuff you'd need for openvpn, you need openssl and zlib libs | 05:45 |
| cilkay | centaur5: Interesting that your file is generated via kickstart configurator. That has never worked for me. | 05:45 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> okay, are you sure you have the correct hd ? | 05:46 |
| cilkay | centaur5: I (painfully) modified the example file. | 05:46 |
| pangloss | !grub | spolvid | 05:46 |
| ubottu | spolvid: 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 | 05:46 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: I've only got one internal hd :-) | 05:46 |
| === Homicidal is now known as Vienna | ||

| dr_willis | hot_wheelz, ive never seen a wireless card work OOTB.. but ive only messed with like 5 different laptops.. There may be some out there.. | 05:46 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Yeah, I used Kickstart ever since Edgy and have been doing PXE installs. | 05:46 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> what have you done before this ? | 05:46 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: I thought Kickstart was just creating a preseed. What's the difference? | 05:47 |
| Kumquats | networkmanager is a support nightmare heh. | 05:47 |
| seaoftea | yeah it has a custom kernal on it, with rtorrent, openssl, and some other nifty things so it would be probable as it'll run any optware packages | 05:47 |
| juank | Soy nuevo en esto,porfavor pueden ayudarme ainstalar beryl en mi xubuntu | 05:47 |
| cilkay | centaur5: kickstart seems to be half-baked in K/Ubuntu. I'm also doing PXE installs but with a real preseed file. I point to an apt-cacher local cache. Saves a lot of bandwidth. | 05:47 |

| robert__ | problem with vmnet config files i can't get networking going on any vmware appliances | 05:49 |
| cilkay | centaur5: The syntax of the file is different. preseed is the "native" Debian way. It's much more powerful, apparently, but it's more complex and its documentation is spotty. Kickstart is a "foreign" method adapted from Red Hat. It's very well-documented. | 05:49 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> and you have more than one partition? | 05:49 |
| robert__ | this is all i get Could not open /dev/vmnet8: No such file or directory | 05:49 |

| hot_wheelz | does anyone know what kinda card\chipset those things run?...my guess is probaly broadcom...all the documention I have seen on them is in Korean i think | 05:50 |
| swt | it is a very big source under windows ,like emule | 05:50 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: apparently not, although when in windows it doesn't see the 30gb which are not ntfs | 05:50 |
| swt | dr_willis | 05:50 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: I've also been trying to find an easy way to customize default theme and wallpaper but every package people have created only does it for live CDs. I wish there was an easier way to do OEM installs. | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | swt, that means very little to me. sorry. | 05:51 |
| seaoftea | well I've gotta find some new wallpaper, thanks for teh help everybodies | 05:51 |
| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> that does not seem right, what you pasted shows 78gb | 05:51 |
| swt | thank you also | 05:51 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Well, PXE is the ultra easy way when it doesn't change. On one of the new releases they changed the xinetd package they were using for PXE to work. | 05:51 |
| cilkay | centaur5: It sounds like we should be collaborating. I too have a bunch of things on my wishlist. The way that I'm thinking of dealing with what you just said is to use KDE's kiosk tool and cfengine. | 05:51 |
| swt | which country are you in dr_willis | 05:52 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: right, because from inside ubuntu, it sees the entire hd, the ntfs part too, the entirety of which is 80gb | 05:52 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: but when in Windows, it returns the size of c:\ as being about 50gb | 05:52 |

| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> run gparted from that livecd and see if shows same | 05:53 |
| cilkay | centaur5: I think it'll be very difficult to preseed everything 100%. Besides, even if you get it right now, what happens when you need to make a few changes? You don't necessarily want to have to do preseed installations for a few trivial changes but you also don't want to do those changes manually across an entire network of machines either. | 05:53 |

| jackbeslow | Every time I try it it dies on me, and then it tells me to look at the log...and the log does not show any errors | 05:53 |

| pangloss | vegombrei: what version of firefox are you using? | 05:53 |
| vegombrei | pangloss: 3.03 | 05:54 |
| cilkay | centaur5: For that reason, I've decided to get the machine to the point where KDE and most, if not all, of the apps are installed. One of those apps will be cfengine. I'll then deploy changes based on machine class via cfengine. Those changes will be kept under version control in Subversion. | 05:54 |

| n8tuser | russianphysicist-> reboot and rerun same commands see if you get same numbers | 05:55 |
| pangloss | swt: if you want to chat, open up a private message | 05:55 |
| maxxist | joot yeah. any luck man? | 05:55 |
| sambagirl | nopw i am log'd in as root@jaguar but i dont understand this inability to resolve the host name. | 05:55 |
| jackbeslow | does anyone think they can figure out the problem by looking at my logs? | 05:55 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Well the only difference I have is when I install a machine for myself and somebody else. Otherwise there are no changes but it sounds like you're doing something much more complex and cool. :) | 05:55 |
| russianphysicist | n8tuser: alright, I'm going to try running a chkdsk from windows too - thanks for the help! | 05:55 |
| canthony | sambagirl, you have a bad hosts file, or your localhost name in your hosts file doesnt match your hostname | 05:55 |
| chad1 | when in battery mode my laptops fans are not turning on at all .. serious overheating issues happening ... can anyone help ? | 05:55 |
| cilkay | centaur5: Mine is for a school lab so ~ 50 machines at once. | 05:56 |
| WebcamWonder | sambagirl, So, basically any sudo command, looks up your hostname? | 05:56 |
| sambagirl | i suppose it must.l webcamwonder | 05:56 |
| FloridaBSD | swt: I am feeling preety good about my situation of course i am still figurativle under my Fathers roof seein as to the fact that he sends me the money and i pay the bills. | 05:56 |
| joot | maxxist: No so I installed linux mint on the same computer and it flew inBUT it did report a corrupt section in the ubuntu made partion so that was odd | 05:56 |
| pretender | can anyone tell me is the Brother MFC 260C detects properly in ubuntu 8.10. Or can advise me of a tutorial for install | 05:56 |
| WebcamWonder | sambagirl, Been there. Done that. When not on Internet, it is a pain. Regular sudo commands can take about 2 minutes to execute | 05:57 |
| sambagirl | i probably need to do a native install and forget about vmware. | 05:57 |
| hot_wheelz | looks like the chipset is from a company called qcom anyone know it? | 05:57 |
| sambagirl | ahh ok | 05:57 |
| sambagirl | again i am in a vertual machine too. | 05:57 |
| pangloss | !printer | pretender | 05:57 |
| ubottu | pretender: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 05:57 |
| canthony | sambagirl, 127.0.0.1 will say localhost, but many times another entry, 127.0.1.1 will exist that should say your hostname NOT localhost | 05:57 |
| WebcamWonder | sambagirl, I fixed it by adding my hostname to the /etc/hosts, and giving it the loopback 127.0.0.1 ip address. I don't know about your setting | 05:57 |
| maxxist | joot like a bad sector on the drive? or something you can just format away? | 05:57 |
| canthony | sambagirl, if it doesnt match the hostname of the machine sudo fails | 05:58 |
| scuwolf | so many people on this server -_-! | 05:58 |
| sambagirl | ahh yes i noticed that it didnt like me to use 127.0.0.1 as loopback url | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | scuwolf, and its a slow day | 05:58 |
| sambagirl | so that is why it uses 1.1? | 05:58 |
| WebcamWonder | sambagirl, I think 127.xxx.xxx.xxx is all loopback | 05:58 |
| joot | maxxist: Just format away but it is coming from the ibex install some how, Maybe it is a random bug | 05:59 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: So if preseeding is more powerful maybe I'll be able to automate partitioning. Kickstart is limited in that area. | 05:59 |
| jackbeslow | everytime I try to make the usb startup disk it gets to 11% and dies on me | 05:59 |
| canthony | WebcamWonder, yes that is true but i think there is some hackich reason the 1.1 address exists | 05:59 |
| Lifesf | still no help concerning gproftpd!!!; i gave up a while back on this ever since this and other issues had occured; could i also quickly ask what is that command to check the ip addresses? | 05:59 |
| sambagirl | yes i was just told that just now | 05:59 |
| maxxist | joot i still think it was your install disc somehow. did you try to download the alternate disc and reinstall? | 05:59 |
| cilkay | centaur5: You can certainly automate partitioning. You'll see when I paste my file, which I'm doing now. | 05:59 |
| canthony | sambagirl, WebcamWonder at any rate the true hostname must exist somewhere on 127.0.0.0/8 | 05:59 |
| sambagirl | so do you force it? | 05:59 |
| ImBrian | I was having troubles with Pulse Audio on 64 bit xubuntu, so I've removed it in favor of Alsa - how can I have X use this as opposed to Pulse (which it seems to continue to attempt to use). Audio works in console, but if I'm in X, it errors out complaining of failed pulse audio output. | 06:00 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Kickstart allows partitioning but it's done their way which is double the RAM for swap which just isn't necessary nowadays. :) | 06:00 |
| sambagirl | itsays unknown host when i type ping 127.0.0.0/8 | 06:00 |
| canthony | sambagirl, what is the output of `hostname` in a terminal | 06:00 |
| backenfutter | anyone know what the initial login password is for vmware-server 2.0 web access | 06:00 |
| crazz | hello all | 06:00 |
| WebcamWonder | canthony, sambagirl, Yup. Just wanted to let you know that I had a similar problem, and fixed it by adding my hostname "my-laptop" with 127.0.0.1 to my /etc/hosts | 06:00 |
| maxxist | joot which file system type did you use ext3? | 06:00 |
| joot | maxxist: Yes I did fight after I talked with you but the same problem resulted so that is a consant on four cd's | 06:00 |
| billybigrigger | how come mysql automatically creates my db's and tables with the collation of latin1_swedish_ci i have my language set to english and my charset MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) | 06:01 |
| joot | maxxist: Yes ext3 | 06:01 |
| sambagirl | now it asks if i want to ping broadcast with a -b | 06:01 |
| canthony | sambagirl, sorry 127.0.0.0/8 is prefix notation for ip addresses, it just means 127.x.x.x | 06:01 |
| sambagirl | ahh ok | 06:01 |
| crazz | anyone else having a problem with sound after doing the update in intrepid? | 06:01 |
| joot | maxxist: and a linux swap | 06:01 |
| cilkay | centaur5: You can specify whatever you want in kickstart too, at least on Red Hat systems. Anyway, here you go: http://pastebin.com/d482656ca | 06:01 |
| robert__ | crazz yes but it's just lower volume than usual | 06:01 |
| sambagirl | so what do you put in there? | 06:02 |
| maxxist | joot wow. thats crazy. i could suggest something even crazier. download a copy of hardy. format all the partitions. and install hardy. then when hardy is installed. do a update-manager -d | 06:02 |
| swt | is there anyone want to talk?i am waiting>_< | 06:02 |
| sambagirl | 127.0.1.1 jaguar | 06:02 |
| sambagirl | in hosts? | 06:02 |
| maxxist | joot its a little extreme. | 06:02 |
| jackbeslow | crazz, I certainly am, pulseaudio never worked for me, since intrepid ALSA does not work either and I am back to OSS | 06:02 |
| crazz | well my issue is i updated after install a fresh intrepid on my compaq presario 2500 when i tried to restart the laptop it locked on shut down as the part where it says shutting down alsa | 06:02 |
| pangloss | swt: this is a support channel, not a leisure chat channel | 06:02 |
| canthony | sambagirl, you need to get the value of `hostname` in a terminal, and make sure that whatever it is exists in your /etc/hosts file under either 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.1.1 you may need to use a live cd if you havent set a root password | 06:02 |
| ImBrian | is audio in 8.10 a common complaint? I did a fresh install today and it's bunk | 06:03 |
| crazz | jackbeslow: how did you fix the no sound issue using oss | 06:03 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Wow, much larger file than mine. :) | 06:03 |
| joot | maxxist: That is how I usually do it but I got this windows computer and thought it would be an easy install :-)) | 06:03 |
| pangloss | !offtopic | swt | 06:03 |
| ubottu | swt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 06:03 |
| FloridaBSD | sambagirl: issue this command in a terminal window hostname | 06:03 |
| robert__ | anyone ever tie wlan0 in with vmnet | 06:03 |
| swt | sorry i am new here,but i want to share some experiences | 06:03 |
| cilkay | centaur5: I just modified the example file. | 06:04 |
| jackbeslow | I just used the sound preferences panel and switched everything to OSS and then specified it explicitly in all my apps that did not respect that configuration | 06:04 |
| sambagirl | well it says 127.0.0.1 localhost in host file | 06:04 |
| sambagirl | so iwas adding line 127.0.1.1 jaguar | 06:04 |
| canthony | sambagirl, localhost is not your actual HOSTNAME though | 06:04 |
| cilkay | centaur5: The only thing that doesn't work is the last bit where I attempt to upload my public key onto the freshly-installed system. Otherwise, it all works. | 06:04 |
| crazz | my comp locks at the alsa shut down everytime | 06:04 |
| maxxist | joot let me tell you man. 8.10 hasnt been all that nice to me either. and I have been using ubuntu full time since warty. and before that i was a redhat user for 6 years | 06:04 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Looks great though. This way I can use apt-cacher which is what I wanted in the first place. I don't know why my kickstart file was only able to do that with only Feisty. | 06:05 |
| crazz | i tried the oss but didn't work | 06:05 |
| sambagirl | no it is my loopback | 06:05 |
| canthony | sambagirl, is jaguar your hostanem> | 06:05 |
| IcemanV9 | sambagirl: add "jaguar" after 127.0.0.1 localhost as well | 06:05 |

| mintsoup | maxxist:aww 8.10 has been hella nice to me.. at least as far as wireless drivers go | 06:05 |
| sambagirl | so like 127.0.0.1 localhost jaguar | 06:06 |
| sambagirl | like that? | 06:06 |
| sambagirl | or on anotherl ine? | 06:06 |
| IcemanV9 | yep, sambagirl | 06:06 |

| ubottu | Reves-Yosoy1: 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? | 06:06 |
| pw-toxic | hi | 06:06 |
| jackbeslow | does not sound as useful as a truecrypt volume as it is decrypted on login but.... | 06:06 |
| pw-toxic | where can i define which applications i want to start when i start ubuntu? | 06:06 |
| crazz | would it hurt to remove the also drivers and if not how would i go about doing that? | 06:06 |
| pw-toxic | for example pidgin and skype | 06:06 |
| cilkay | centaur5: One tip with apt-cacher that will save you hours: put "path_map = ubuntu archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" in /etc/apt-cacher/apt-cacher.conf Otherwise, it's pretty much standard apt-cacher. | 06:06 |
| canthony | is it possible to save to the DOCX format and not just read it | 06:06 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, System -> Preferences -> Session, for user wide | 06:06 |
| pangloss | pw-toxic: System >> Prefs >> session | 06:06 |
| joot | maxxist: I am pretty used to ubuntu now so I will probably go back to Hardy it is a lts so it will last a bit yet | 06:06 |

| AJ_Z0 | New 8.10 install and trying to establish wireless connection. Card (Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100) seems to be working and driver iwlagn is attached. I have a wlan0 interface. The Gnome Network Manager (which I had to install) doesn't seem to offer any way to connect to a wireless network, just an entry "[-] Wireless Connection / Roaming Mode enabled" | 06:07 |
| eTiger13 | how do i change a users password? | 06:07 |
| rww | JackWinter: sorry, wrong nick completion :/ | 06:07 |
| sambagirl | ok | 06:07 |
| maxxist | mintsoup i havent used it for any wireless yet. but the network manager has been a horror for me. it kept on switching numbers and removing numbers from my manually entered static ip info. on two seperate computers. | 06:07 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: What is the purpose of that line? | 06:07 |
| sambagirl | done i noticed there is no save for pico | 06:07 |
| AJ_Z0 | How do I make the connection? | 06:07 |
| maxxist | mintsoup must be pebkac | 06:07 |
| jackbeslow | eTiger13, passwd | 06:07 |
| rww | eTiger13: passwd username | 06:07 |
| pangloss | eTiger13: passwd -a | 06:07 |
| cilkay | centaur5: I can do WOL (Wake On LAN) of a given machine and do a clean PXE installation. I can even do that from the comfort of my home. | 06:07 |
| canthony | AJ_Z0, you should be using nm-applet for network changes | 06:07 |
| chilli0 | whats the code to see what my resolution is? | 06:07 |
| sambagirl | what is another editor? | 06:08 |
| sambagirl | instead of pico? | 06:08 |
| WebcamWonder | sambagirl, nano | 06:08 |
| sambagirl | and vi | 06:08 |
| pangloss | sambagirl: gedit | 06:08 |
| sambagirl | oh yes nano | 06:08 |
| sambagirl | thanks | 06:08 |
| Guest4001 | Can anybody suggest any good programs to try out? | 06:08 |
| cilkay | centaur5: It maps the longer URL to the shorter one. It's what I had to do in order to make it work on the clients. | 06:08 |
| maxxist | joot imho ubuntu is still the best distro avail. | 06:08 |
| canthony | chilli0, xdpyinfo |grep pixels | 06:08 |
| crazz | jackbeslow: would it hurt to remove the alsa drivers and if not how would you do so? | 06:08 |
| joot | maxxist: I agree :-) | 06:09 |
| chilli0 | thanks | 06:09 |
| jackbeslow | Crazz, there is a decent chance doing so would break some things | 06:09 |
| kwW | olaaa | 06:09 |
| crazz | darn | 06:09 |
| sambagirl | i dont see a save option in nano | 06:09 |
| Reves-Yosoy1 | How can I change the kernel from generic to the specific for my computer??? | 06:09 |
| sambagirl | amiga has opus | 06:09 |
| WebcamWonder | sambagirl, CTRL + X | 06:09 |
| Odd-rationale | sambagirl: ctrl+x | 06:09 |
| robert__ | sambagirl what about kate | 06:09 |
| cilkay | centaur5: One thing that I've had trouble with that I still don't have a good answer on is that Xorg doesn't auto-detect the very vanilla graphics chipsets and video cards we have on some machines. The resolution will be wacky and I'll have to run xfix or such. | 06:09 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Oh, you mean to get the clients to use the apt-cacher server instead of direct? | 06:09 |
| Reves-Yosoy1 | please, some help here | 06:09 |
| sambagirl | nevermind ;) | 06:09 |
| cilkay | centaur5: yes | 06:10 |
| rww | sambagirl: It's called "Write Out" Ctrl+O, I think :) | 06:10 |
| FloridaBSD | sambagirl: ctr +x | 06:10 |
| sambagirl | i forgot hte shift key | 06:10 |
| sambagirl | or ctrl | 06:10 |
| cilkay | centaur5: That line goes on the *server* though. | 06:10 |
| crazz | jackbeslow: is there a way to roll the alsa drivers back to fresh install? | 06:10 |
| eTiger13 | how do i disable shell access for a user? what shell do i use? | 06:10 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: A few months ago I ran across a line to do a proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf and have been doing that ever since. | 06:10 |
| sambagirl | now i am log'd in as root and it tells me permision is denied! | 06:10 |
| pangloss | Reves-Yosoy1: if you have another kernel, GRUB should prompt you for which one you want to use on start up | 06:10 |
| sambagirl | i did sudo bash and am root@jaguar | 06:10 |
| rww | eTiger13: set the shell to /bin/false | 06:10 |
| cilkay | centaur5: If you look at line 41 in my preseed file, you | 06:11 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Right, unfortunately my apt.conf file had to go on all the clients so that line on the server will help me out. :) | 06:11 |
| WebcamWonder | sambagirl, Is this /etc/hosts? | 06:11 |
| eTiger13 | rww: i get a message saying that it doesnt exist | 06:11 |
| Reves-Yosoy1 | pangloss, grub only marks the generic | 06:11 |
| sambagirl | yes /etc/hosts | 06:11 |
| cilkay | centaur5: you'll see that it's quite simple. | 06:11 |
| cilkay | centaur5: You don't have to do that with this scheme. | 06:11 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: Awesome, that is really cool I'm glad you shared that with me. | 06:11 |
| AJ_Z0 | canthony: If I run it from the command line, I get "...Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken" | 06:11 |

| ardchoille | It seems Metacity does compositing quite well on its own | 06:14 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: i dunno why our dhcp always give me a different ip ;/ | 06:14 |
| cilkay | centaur5: Ideally, that should be done in the preseed file. I'm sure it could be done there. | 06:15 |
| gareth_ | Any help with webcam and mic help would be appreciated | 06:15 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: I saw an example in my googling over the past week that somebody put a post install script on a local web server so any machine can simply wget it then it would execute and launch other commands. | 06:15 |
| WebcamWonder | sambagirl, I think that file is locked down b/c it is in use :s. I don't know much about it. Others might be able to help | 06:15 |

| ubottu | ImBrian: 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 | 06:15 |
| sambagirl | but there isnt a safemode for linux is there? | 06:15 |
| cilkay | centaur5: I'd like to avoid that. I'd rather have only two ways of making changes on the clients. 1. The preseed file. 2. cfengine | 06:15 |
| ImBrian | pangloss, thank you | 06:16 |

| dr_willis | vegombrei, last i checked hotmail there was some sort of 'ignore this warning/continue' button i could use. | 06:18 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, It is a program that uses regular expression (very power tool in text parsing) to search in the given text | 06:18 |
| gareth_ | I have an internal mic and webcam, how can I get ubuntu to recognize them? | 06:18 |
| mixed-_- | anyone here has experience with synthesizers?? | 06:18 |

| cilkay | centaur5: Anyway, I'm off. See you. | 06:18 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: I have yet to find a decent way to auto install it. | 06:18 |
| centaur5 | cilkay: later | 06:18 |
| cilkay | centaur5: Apparently, it exists because I have a friend whose kids attend an all Apple school and they do push installs there. | 06:19 |

| IcemanV9 | !lamp | Guest4001 | 06:20 |
| ubottu | Guest4001: 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+) | 06:20 |

| WebcamWonder | cmdbbq, No problem. Look at the man page. There are a few ways of using it. If you just say mp3gain, it scans the file and adjusts on the ID3 tag. There are ways of forcing it to re-encode the file. Man page will help you further | 06:29 |
| IcemanV9 | Lifesf: did you check launchpad for a bug on gadmin-proftpd? usually a solution is there | 06:29 |

| silverdulcet | NFS related question, my mount point is owned by me, when mounted it is owned by haldaemon, group: netdev. Is this standard? I have another box that when mounted, the nfs mount point is owned by hplip group:mysql. I cannot write to it unless I add my user to the mysql group. | 06:30 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, Did you put the entire command in your sessions? | 06:30 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: yes | 06:30 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: and i copied it back to a console and used it and the command itself works | 06:30 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, That is odd. Commands in session don't execute :s... Hold on | 06:30 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, Did you make sure there is a check beside it to Enable it? | 06:31 |

| Lifesf | IcemanV9: well,... i've landed on one page from them before but didn't really know about launchpad... checking now and landed on one thing that seems to be the same problem as I; but i'm not sure i'm understanding the right way to go concerning the user's replies | 06:32 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, ps -A | grep synergys <= can you pastebin this output? | 06:32 |
| phoenixz | pangloss: doesn't show the apps.. :S | 06:32 |
| Wicked | anyone here familier with truecrypt? | 06:32 |
| zcat[1] | Tried to explain to him that it's just "one checkbox" in windows and he doesn't need to change anything else at all.. NOTHING on ubuntu because it will get the details from windows.... | 06:33 |
| zcat[1] | but no, he's using Linux now so everything must be a million times harder... | 06:33 |
| vegombrei | well ? | 06:33 |
| pangloss | phoenixz: it does on the right | 06:33 |
| vegombrei | anybody have a fix for hotmail not working in firefox linux ? | 06:34 |
| phoenixz | pangloss: for some ports yeah, but not for 8080 unfortunately | 06:34 |

| pw-toxic | but i just started the server manualla | 06:34 |
| NewNew | vegombrei: you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 06:34 |
| zcat[1] | vegombrei: change the browser ident.. | 06:34 |
| pw-toxic | i did ps -C synergys and the output was empty | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | vegombrei, it works here. Hotmail likes to post some messages like that. Last time I could check some checkboxc on the hotmail page that said let me in anyway, or use some user-agent tool to let firefox appear as a different browser | 06:35 |
| zcat[1] | vegombrei: hotmail are intentionally 'breaking' things if they see linux in the browser string, that is all | 06:35 |
| pangloss | phoenixz: try netstat -p | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | vegombrei, like zcat[1] said.. its HOTMAIL breaking things. Not a ubuntu/firefox issue at all. | 06:35 |

| ubottu | army12bc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 06:36 |

| timreichhart | does anybody know what would be best 56k modem for a fax server running ubuntu 8.04 | 06:36 |
| gluonman | Why would I get the error "Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?" when I try to play certain DVDs in movie player when I already have libdvdcss installed? Does it just mean the disc is bad? | 06:36 |
| WebcamWonder | zcat[1], It has been known for quite some time now | 06:36 |
| army12bc | gotta love ubottu | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | timreichhart, in the past - ive had thebest luck with 'real' external Serial modems.. but thats been 7+ years ago. | 06:37 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: well i just relogged.. no reboot | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | timreichhart, even finding such things these days.. can be a challange. | 06:37 |
| timreichhart | well see i got a old P3 motherboard | 06:37 |
| zcat[1] | gluonman: they're adding more 'copy protection' to DVDs now... some just won't work. VLC can play most | 06:37 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, Ok. I have hit a try spell of ideas. Sorry, I have no clue | 06:38 |
| AJ_Z0 | What's most annoying is that after changing a bazillion things with no success, then next time the system boots, it just works! Now I have no idea how I made it work | 06:38 |
| Josesordo | hello, help pls | 06:38 |
| zcat[1] | easiest answer give up buying DVDs and download DRM-free files from bitorrent | 06:38 |
| army12bc | could be irq problem | 06:38 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: can you tell me how i can add this command in the bashrc into an alias? ;L) | 06:38 |
| pangloss | !anyone | Josesordo | 06:38 |
| ubottu | Josesordo: 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? | 06:38 |
| gluonman | zcat[1], so it's just that Ubuntu hasn't developed an efficient means of decrypting those certain DVDs yet? | 06:38 |
| Josesordo | need resolve little problems here | 06:38 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: there are ' in the command... | 06:38 |
| army12bc | modem have trouble with audio irq reset | 06:38 |
| Josesordo | first, need install Atheros wireless driver..How? | 06:38 |
| scunizi | zcat[1], if you already have an account you can still access it.. I just tried to access mine and no problem.. just look for the link at the bottom of the compatibility message to continue "anyway". | 06:39 |
| pangloss | !wireless | Josesordo | 06:39 |
| ubottu | Josesordo: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | vegombrei, l Notice on the hotmail page where it says to upgrade This Link ---------> If you don't want to upgrade right now you can still continue to Windows Live Hotmail, <Click There> | 06:39 |
| zcat[1] | gluonman: hard to say, but yeah, probably. | 06:39 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, Most likely escape it using the backslash. \' <= that should escape it. If I understand you correctly | 06:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | Josesordo: which wireless driver? | 06:39 |
| timreichhart | so dr willis your saying is better to use serial on ubuntu server for fax | 06:39 |
| Josesordo | ty!, lets see | 06:39 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: yes it would but it didnt work.. i used " instead and it works | 06:39 |
| gluonman | Alright. | 06:39 |
| zcat[1] | scunizi: I haven't had a hotmail account for ages.. used to have kissmyhairya55@hotmail.com, not sure if it still works | 06:39 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, Glad to you know are way ahead than me :) | 06:39 |
| pw-toxic | WebcamWonder: now synergy-start starts my synergy server ;) | 06:40 |

| IndyGunFreak | dr_willis: lol, are you neurotic?... Gnome/KDE have little in common | 06:41 |
| WebcamWonder | pw-toxic, You need to install "lm-sensors" (I forget, I am not sure) to get the abiulity to add sensors | 06:41 |

| vegombrei | zcat[1]: SAYS A LONG LIST OF STUFF IN ABOUT:CONFIG .... i cant understand it | 06:54 |
| heret1c | the keyboard on my laptop stopped working - heeelp!!! | 06:54 |
| zcat[1] | vegombrei: where it says 'filter' up near the top, type 'useragent' in there and you'll get only the useragent settings | 06:55 |
| army12bc | reinstall driver heret1c | 06:55 |
| zcat[1] | vegombrei: not actually sure what to change it to though | 06:55 |
| heret1c | army- how? | 06:56 |
| SuperQ | army12bc: that only works on windows ;-) | 06:56 |
| army12bc | lol | 06:56 |
| paul68 | Is there somewhere a advanced tutorial or howto for iptables which includes mac filtering an port redirecting and limited access from certain ips | 06:56 |
| ziroday | zcat[1]: couldn't he use the user agent switcher as well? | 06:56 |
| army12bc | paul68 yes there is | 06:56 |
| zcat[1] | ziroday: yeah, or that | 06:56 |
| army12bc | i forget where tho | 06:56 |
| Mo0oSaH | I accidentally picked wrong geographic location during install, is there anyway to fix that without doing a clean install? | 06:57 |
| ardchoille | !iptables | paul68 | 06:57 |
| ubottu | paul68: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 06:57 |
| heret1c | using kvkbd to type. slow. | 06:57 |

| dd3 | i'm trying to use aptoncd to create a cd with packages that i want to distribute. i created on such cd and when i inserted it into a system with a fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 the autorun said "Error autorunning software" and under it "cannot find the autorun program". is there a better way to do this? | 06:58 |
| ivangarcia | there is no tutorials about it, I've heard is integrated already, but where ? | 06:58 |
| storm-zen | Mo0oSaH: It looks like you can add your own location in Clock Preferences, if you know your Timezone, latitude and longitude... | 06:58 |
| paul68 | ardchoille: that covers only the basics | 06:58 |
| dr_willis | zcat[1], theres some firefox user agent extensions that may be helpfull.. Testing some other firefox's and this issue is only happening to me under ubuntu's - not sure if its a useragent issue at all. | 06:58 |
| ardchoille | paul68: :( | 06:58 |
| Mo0oSaH | storm-zen: I did that, but for everything it uses that location... such as for chosing the server to download updates from.. I changed the things that I know but Its annoying to see canada for everything when i live in Texas | 06:59 |
| dr_willis | zcat[1], may be easier to just go grab Opera. :) | 06:59 |
| blankthemuffin | Where abouts does Ubuntu hide its trash folder? | 06:59 |
| storm-zen | Mo0oSaH: Where, in TX? Austin, here. | 07:00 |
| ardchoille | !opera | 07:00 |
| ubottu | opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 07:00 |

| blankthemuffin | ah thanks ziroday | 07:00 |

| storm-zen | I'll look with you for a bit, and see if I can figure something out. Awesome. I'm in the wells branch area. I'll have to check that out, then. | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | zcat[1], even under Opera - the hotmail reply page/dialog box's are miss-sized... :) isent MS great! | 07:02 |
| army12bc | !test | mo0oSaH | 07:02 |
| ubottu | mo0oSaH: sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. | 07:02 |
| blankthemuffin | A question, if I just go in there and rm -rf everything in the files and info directory will that break anything. The reason I'm doing this is because it's failing to remove some items. | 07:02 |

| ubottu | army12bc, please see my private message | 07:05 |
| slope | am installing ubuntu 8.10 on a machine that has vista. the ubuntu installatation will be on the second physical drive (sdb), while vista is on the first (sda). The bios is set to use sdb as the first boot device, so I can use GRUB to choose os on boot. I want Grub on the sdb drive to preserve the vista loader on sda. Question: What do I choose in the advanced options for the boot loader: sda, sda1, sdb, sdb1? thanks for any help | 07:05 |
| zcat[1] | blankthemuffin: the other thing you can do is chmod/chown -R everything, then you can delete it via the GUI again | 07:05 |
| ziroday | !pm | aaaaaaaaaarggg | 07:05 |
| ubottu | aaaaaaaaaarggg: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 07:05 |
| ziroday | aaaaaaaaaarggg: and no, not that I am aware of | 07:05 |
| * aaaaaaaaaarggg sorry folks... 1st time here | 07:06 | |
| blankthemuffin | zcat[1], sweet thanks. All gone. :D | 07:06 |
| army12bc | why is he purple? | 07:06 |
| sbingner | slope, just install grub to sda | 07:06 |
| ziroday | army12bc: that is set by your IRC client | 07:06 |
| joot | army12bc: it a comment | 07:06 |
| army12bc | what is action? that is why he purple | 07:07 |
| army12bc | how u do that? | 07:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | slope: i've never had luck putting grub anywhere but on the masterdisk.. no matter what the boot order | 07:07 |
| * dr_willis is not purple | 07:07 | |
| ziroday | army12bc: by doing /me something | 07:07 |
| * army12bc test | 07:07 | |
| * dr_willis is using the /me command :) | 07:07 | |
| army12bc | lol ag | 07:07 |
| army12bc | btw irc commands and ubuntu its a wonder u all even know anything else than script? | 07:08 |
| slope | I prefer not to install grub to sda, so If I remove this physical drive I can still boot w/ the vista loader. I can do this by installing each OS with the drive removed during install, then editing menu.list, but I have both in and figure it should be possible. If I choose sda and remove the sdb drive (ubuntu) will I still be able to run vista? | 07:08 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: If you put grub somewhere else, you still need an MBR that knows where to find grub, eg configure an additional entry in NTLDR for it | 07:08 |
| sbingner | slope, put your /boot on sda also then | 07:08 |
| mini-admin | hello, can someone give me some help on upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid with an encrypted filesystem? I'm having difficulty with initramfs | 07:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: right... l.ike i aid, i've never personally had luck w/ it.. not saying it can't be done | 07:09 |
| dingupenguin | when i open up firefox it takes up the whole screen and cant see anythign elese not even bars on the top and bottom | 07:09 |
| dingupenguin | how can i make that go away | 07:09 |
| dr_willis | dingupenguin, try hitting F11 ? | 07:09 |
| army12bc | zcat: coulda used that info yesterday with solaris install u have no idea how long it took me to get it right | 07:09 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: haven't done it myself for a long time either.. apparntly it's recomended with vista... I've never used Vista and will probably avoid it for a while yet | 07:09 |
| army12bc | !appropriate | 07:09 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about appropriate | 07:10 |
| ziroday | !botabuse | army12bc | 07:10 |
| ubottu | army12bc: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 07:10 |
| slope | thanks for the help everyone, trying sda and will pull sdb after install to see if it works for that condition,..not too worried about mucking up vista, but asking never hurts. thx all. | 07:10 |
| streenz | dingupenguin: if F11 doesnt fix it you can try alt-F7 to move the window and see if you can move it so that the bar is visible | 07:10 |
| zcat[1] | !botsnack | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | Ive had Grub on Just the 2nd hd.. i just had to hit F9 on the bios/post tests to get to a 'boot what hard drive' dialog for this pc. :) handy | 07:10 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 07:10 |
| dan_ | thank you | 07:10 |
| dan_ | f11 was indeed it | 07:10 |
| zcat[1] | ... he looked hungry.. | 07:10 |
| heret1c | !keyboard | 07:11 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | dan_, thats not a bug - its a Feature! :) | 07:11 |
| sbingner | slope, it'll only work for booting vista w/o sdb if you have your /boot partition on sda also | 07:11 |
| dan_ | i dont remember hitting f11 tho XD | 07:12 |
| heret1c | !keyboard laptop | 07:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about keyboard laptop | 07:12 |

| dan_ | can i get a link to installing a splash screen plz | 07:16 |
| dr_willis | !splash | 07:16 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 07:16 |
| joot | you guys will get yourselves thrown off the channel | 07:16 |
| dr_willis | !usplash | 07:16 |

| jim_p | is what repo (universe/multiverse/restricted) does b43-fwcutter rest in? | 07:17 |
| dr_willis | !info b43-fwcutter | 07:17 |
| ubottu | b43-fwcutter (source: b43-fwcutter): Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware. In component main, is optional. Version 1:011-4ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 15 kB, installed size 100 kB | 07:17 |
| dr_willis | jim_p, looks like its in MAIN | 07:18 |
| ziroday | jim_p: main | 07:18 |
| ziroday | dr_willis: bah, you beat me :( | 07:18 |
| cojones_ | hey all, i was trying to add ATI restricted drivers and did something I can't seem to fix | 07:18 |
| === _ is now known as Guest9703 | ||
| cojones_ | i was using envyng | 07:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 07:18 |
| jim_p | dr_willis, ziroday : well its not in my friend's synaptic and i was wondering why. thanks anyway | 07:19 |
| cojones_ | anyone know how to get a system back to a vanilla install state without reinstalling? | 07:19 |
| osbert | IndyGunFreak: uh ... nothing? just praising everybody's patience and niceness. sometimes people will boot really quickly. | 07:19 |
| dr_willis | cojones_, once you strt using envyng. youmay need to stay with using envyng. and you may need to rerun it every time theres a kernel update | 07:19 |
| shiki9 | can videos be played with compiz enabled on an ati card without flickering | 07:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | osbert: oh ok, i took your remark as being satire. | 07:19 |
| dr_willis | shiki9, they work on my low end laptop.. so yes.. it can work.. | 07:19 |
| cojones_ | dr_willis: any way to undo it? | 07:19 |
| ziroday | !envyng | cojones_ | 07:19 |
| ubottu | cojones_: 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 | 07:19 |
| dr_willis | cojones_, no idea | 07:19 |
| ziroday | cojones_: did you remove the drivers using envy? | 07:20 |
| cojones_ | ziroday: yes, and manually also thru synaptic manager | 07:20 |
| t7th_Sense | Somebody help me. I have win xp and ubuntu at the same HD. Now win xp crashes. Is it save for me to format C: and reinstall win xp? | 07:20 |
| shiki9 | dr_willis:ok | 07:20 |
| cojones_ | my system is working with compiz now... there are just some strange side effects | 07:20 |
| ziroday | jim_p: note that b43-fwcutter was only introduced in intrepid, no package will exist in versions before that | 07:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | envy, automatix, easyubuntu, etc,... Why God... Why | 07:20 |
| crdlb | shiki9: it works perfectly with the radeon driver, not so much with fglrx | 07:20 |
| cojones_ | side effects: cannot shutdown without hanging | 07:21 |
| jim_p | ziroday: well he IS in intrepid! | 07:21 |
| === songexe is now known as a5song | ||
| cojones_ | also sound is muted after bootup, this could be due to the shutdown problem | 07:21 |
| jim_p | ziroday: i will ask him to apt-get update | 07:21 |
| ziroday | jim_p: ah well that was just my idea, perhaps he didn't apt-get update properly | 07:21 |
| osbert | t7th_Sense: yes, but when you reinstall XP it will mess up grub or whatever your boot loader is so you should save a boot disk that will let you boot back in later. | 07:21 |
| dingupenguin | il be honnest that seems like alot of work for a screen i never see | 07:22 |
| osbert | t7th_Sense: and don't reformat the whole thing, just any partitions that XP is using (probably the 1st one) | 07:22 |
| holymoo | oh you WILL want to see that screen when you have multios setup | 07:23 |
| holymoo | rest assured | 07:23 |
| cojones_ | anyone have any idea how to remove fglrx from a system and go back to using the open source drivers exclusively? | 07:23 |
| shirish | hi all, how can I know what is there in my environment, I know there is a variable called $PATH but no idea how to manipulate it. | 07:23 |
| ardchoille | shirish: echo $PATH | 07:24 |
| cojones_ | i tried my way but that broke my system hehe.. i had to chroot in from a livecd to reinstall the fglrx packages | 07:24 |
| holymoo | sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx? | 07:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | grub is generally really easy to reinstall from a live CD | 07:24 |
| ardchoille | shirish: But I highly recommend you not edit that variable | 07:24 |
| holymoo | search for the fglrx package first to get the right name | 07:24 |
| shirish | ardchoille: thanx, did it. | 07:24 |
| cojones_ | holymoo: any idea where I could get a vanilla version of xorg.conf? | 07:24 |
| shirish | ardchoille: I was trying the same, the only error was echo $ PATH | 07:24 |
| cojones_ | i'd like to have that in place first before I wipe fglrx ;) | 07:24 |
| shirish | notice the space. | 07:24 |
| * shirish out | 07:25 | |
| ardchoille | shirish: Ah :) | 07:25 |
| holymoo | cojones_: xorg is vanilla as far as i know | 07:25 |
| t7th_Sense | osbert: mine is grub. You mean if I dont make emergency disk then my pc won't restart anymore? | 07:25 |
| holymoo | cojones_: your only bet is x.org and compile your self if you have masochistic tendencies | 07:25 |
| cojones_ | holymoo: what i mean is remove any trace of fglrx being referenced in the startup | 07:25 |
| crdlb | cojones_: you don't really even need an xog.conf anymore | 07:26 |
| crdlb | xorg.conf* | 07:26 |
| holymoo | cojones_: that should do it | 07:26 |
| crdlb | cojones_: but you can reset it with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 07:26 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, where does X determine which gfx to use now? | 07:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | t7th_Sense: no, if you reinstall windows, it will overwrite the master boot record, and as a result, Grub... Windows *should* boot w/o issue, ut if you dual boot, you'll have to reinstall grub to get back to Linux | 07:26 |
| holymoo | apt-get remove --purge even | 07:26 |
| crdlb | cojones_: but make sure you remove xorg-driver-fglrx and reboot | 07:26 |
| crdlb | cojones_: it guesses | 07:26 |
| joot | can't cojones do a dpgk reconfigure? | 07:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | joot: maybe, but he used envy... which leaves him envious of people who've not used it. | 07:27 |
| dan_ | soo what is this compiz and bburl stuff | 07:27 |
| t7th_Sense | Ow I understand. Thank you IndyGunFreak | 07:27 |
| holymoo | dpkg-reconfigure is now officially useless | 07:28 |
| holymoo | the brilliant ubuntu devs chopped its cojones off | 07:28 |
| ardchoille | holymoo: yea, it was nice in Dapper | 07:28 |
| holymoo | it does dill now | 07:28 |
| holymoo | i'm still fuming | 07:28 |
| joot | Indygunfreak: is that one of those magic install packages ? | 07:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | !grub | t7th_Sense read through the "Lost Grub" part.. it will explain it better | 07:28 |
| cojones_ | holymoo, hehe nice | 07:28 |
| ubottu | t7th_Sense read through the "Lost Grub" part.. it will explain it better: 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 | 07:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | joot: lol.. supposed tobe | 07:28 |
| bazhang | holymoo, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:28 |
| holymoo | bazhang: bite me | 07:28 |
| joot | Indygunfreak: ic :-)) | 07:28 |
| t7th_Sense | thank you ubottu | 07:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | !thanks | t7th_Sense | 07:29 |
| ubottu | t7th_Sense: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 07:29 |
| cojones_ | alright rebooting | 07:30 |
| cojones_ | hopefully this'll all work out | 07:30 |
| t7th_Sense | wakz | 07:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | t7th_Sense: and just to be clear, if your'e goin to reinstlal windows, and you intend to still dual boot, you need to pay special care to the fact that Windows does not overwrite your Linux partition. | 07:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | otherwise, not having grub will be low on your list of problems.. :) | 07:34 |
| Maconga | I was told that Xubuntu 8.10 will not have to be restarted when the Linux was updated. Is this true or not? | 07:36 |
| sambagirl | to install compiz would it be apt-get compiz install | 07:36 |
| sambagirl | the command? | 07:36 |
| urkki | What's the best/easiest video editing program? | 07:36 |
| Maconga | the linux kernal * | 07:36 |
| joot | IndyGunFreak: doesn't windows overwrite linux by default? the reason for installing linux second on a dual boot? | 07:36 |
| army12bc | !compiz | 07:36 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 07:36 |
| Gnea | Maconga: any kernel upgrade requires a reboot, period. | 07:36 |
| ziroday | Maconga: you need to restart after a kernel update | 07:36 |
| sambagirl | also will it run in vmware? | 07:36 |
| Maconga | okay. thanks of the information | 07:36 |
| cojones_ | hmm.. system still not back to normal... compiz is working ok but video playback is funny.. | 07:37 |
| dr_willis | sambagirl, compiz in vmware - not very useable | 07:37 |
| cojones_ | videos will play fine but if I move the window around, the video stays in the same place, it just gets cropped by the window moving | 07:37 |
| cojones_ | anyone experience this? | 07:37 |
| Gnea | sambagirl: it can, if you have a decent enough system to support it | 07:37 |
| crdlb | cojones_: but the video overlay moves once you finish moving the window? | 07:37 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, yes | 07:37 |
| crdlb | cojones_: that's perfectly normal; it's Overlay XVideo | 07:38 |
| dr_willis | cojones_, so stop moving it! :) | 07:38 |
| sambagirl | well dr_willis i would imagein it would be very sluggish but i was just willing to try it. | 07:38 |
| crdlb | the video is being drawn with a hardware overlay, so it cannot be redirected for compiz | 07:38 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, huh, i could swear that when using something like the ring switcher, the video would move around and play perfectly | 07:38 |
| crdlb | cojones_: if you switch to EXA, you could try "textured XVideo", but that's a bit experimental | 07:38 |
| sambagirl | well i have a macbook and a thinkpad :) | 07:38 |
| sambagirl | both are fast | 07:38 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, EXA? | 07:39 |
| sambagirl | ok after i do my apt-get update -f then i do apt-get install -f yes? | 07:39 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, lemme look i tup | 07:39 |
| sambagirl | ahh it install compiz-fuzioin plugins on this update i see | 07:39 |
| pubby | any body help me how to configure mic phone on skype in ubuntu | 07:39 |
| crdlb | cojones_: an XRender AccelMethod; it's the successor to XAA, which is what you're using now | 07:40 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, the video definitely worked before... now when i Alt-Tab thru open windows.. the video is just black in the app window unless it overlaps where it was playing on the desktop | 07:40 |
| sambagirl | what is this xpong-server that keeps blowing up ? | 07:40 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, i'm positive it worked before | 07:40 |
| crdlb | cojones_: you must have done this (switching to EXA) before trying fglrx | 07:40 |
| crdlb | cojones_: it's very easy to do, just put Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" in Section "Device" of your xorg.conf | 07:41 |
| cojones_ | ok | 07:41 |
| ajopaul | pubby: hv u tested it with sound recorder ? | 07:41 |
| crdlb | cojones_: by the way, you are on intrepid, right? | 07:42 |
| crdlb | EXA on radeon doesn't work well on hardy | 07:42 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, yes | 07:42 |
| cojones_ | alright i just added it, i'll reboot X and get back to ya ;) | 07:42 |
| cojones_ | thanks! | 07:42 |
| heret1c | the keyboard on my laptop stopped working. how do i make it work again? typing this with mouse, which is s-l-o-w. | 07:43 |
| owen1 | how to enable the right alt key from the terminal? | 07:43 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, unfortunately no luck :( | 07:44 |
| cojones_ | i think it has something to do with my drivers | 07:44 |
| cojones_ | even if i add the restricted drivers now thru System->Admin->Hardware Drivers and it says they're active... glxinfo still says vendor is SGI | 07:44 |
| holymoo | cojones_: what problem are you trying to solve anyway? | 07:45 |
| sambagirl | if you do the apt-get update -f does that also do the install or do you have to also apt-get install -f too? i am trying to determine what is blowing up. | 07:45 |
| sambagirl | it looks like it is setting up the downloads it just completed | 07:45 |
| cojones_ | holymoo, compiz isn't playing nicely with video playback.. i can't get my system back to its original state before I tried installing restricted drivers | 07:46 |
| cojones_ | i got the restricted drivers working but THAT made video really choppy in fullscreen | 07:46 |
| holymoo | cojones_: aha | 07:46 |
| cojones_ | holymoo, but the games worked ;) horrible tradeoff hehe | 07:46 |
| sambagirl | is setting up actually configuring teh downloads? | 07:46 |
| holymoo | interesting | 07:47 |
| sambagirl | is there any need to run apt-get install -f? | 07:47 |
| holymoo | sambagirl: if something breaks and you want to force th einstall and ignore dependencies | 07:47 |
| holymoo | it will attempt the install | 07:47 |
| Conexion | does anybody know of a hotkey that will turn your resolution sideways so I can use my laptop like a book? (similar to ctrl+alt+right in windows) | 07:47 |
| holymoo | the consequences are unpredictable but often not consequential | 07:47 |
| holymoo | sambagirl: what are you trying to resolve? | 07:47 |
| CaptainMorgan | I'm trying to use Movie Player to watch a DVD... but it only plays the first track and never any more... repeat is set to off, and when I try to access the DVD menu, nothing opens or display | 07:48 |
| CaptainMorgan | s | 07:48 |
| crdlb | cojones_: you don't want to use the restricted driver | 07:48 |
| holymoo | cojones_: if you are trying to start from an original state i don't really have a suggestion unfortunately. reinstalling just may be the only way to get that state back | 07:48 |
| CaptainMorgan | anyone recommend a better DVD viewing tool? | 07:48 |
| crdlb | cojones_: and I wasn't done with setting up textured video | 07:48 |
| holymoo | we don't have automated bitmap image snapshots and the like that restore entire states of a system | 07:48 |
| holymoo | CaptainMorgan: yeah vlc | 07:48 |
| sambagirl | well i was trying to run a script to install and configure and get dependencies for 2 things. 1. campware and 2. jinzora but something is amiss. | 07:48 |
| CaptainMorgan | holymoo, it's available on Linux ? | 07:49 |
| CaptainMorgan | holymoo, cool! thought it was only Win | 07:49 |
| CaptainMorgan | thanks! | 07:49 |
| holymoo | CaptainMorgan: np, in repos yes | 07:49 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, what else should i add besides changing xorg? | 07:49 |
| holymoo | sambagirl: aha. | 07:49 |
| sambagirl | bit encountered errors while processin spong-common spong-client spong-server spong-www | 07:49 |
| holymoo | sambagirl: sounds like it tried to install something for which a library doesn't exist in repos | 07:49 |
| UpChuck_Norris | speaking of VLC, is there vlc > 0.8.6 in a some repo for 8.04? | 07:49 |
| sambagirl | ahhhh | 07:49 |
| sambagirl | i see | 07:49 |
| holymoo | and its asking you to do install -f to complete, yes? | 07:49 |
| sambagirl | it reurts a /usr/bin/dpkg error code (1) | 07:50 |
| sambagirl | i know that is a lock with 0 bytes | 07:50 |
| crdlb | cojones_: you have to tell anything using XVideo to use the second adapter; for gstreamer, run gstreamer-properties and go to Video > Default Output > Device > Radeon Textured Video | 07:50 |
| sambagirl | so i go into that folder and delete that lock file and run it again i dunno. let me try the install thingy | 07:50 |
| sambagirl | brb | 07:50 |
| holymoo | if these things are just userland apps and nothing too with core frameworks like kde, gnome, x, linux, etc then complete it with -f yes | 07:50 |
| DarkKnight | hey my browser is hanging always......can help?? | 07:50 |
| holymoo | DarkKnight: error messages? | 07:50 |
| holymoo | on what sites? let me guess, flash streaming sites? | 07:51 |
| bastones | Hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu with wubi, I restarted and I can see the Ubuntu background and cursor but there's nothing on the page, my desktop is 256MB memory hard drive 40GB which is probably really small so would this mean it'd take time to startup for first time? because the first time it started up I saw a 'Checking Installation' screen then funny green blue colours came on the screen and it seemed like the whol | 07:51 |
| bastones | e program restarted to where I am now? | 07:51 |
| holymoo | bastones: no, the system specs are fine. either some hardware is not supported or something failed during install | 07:51 |
| cojones_ | crdlb, you sir are a genius | 07:51 |
| holymoo | go back to windows reinstall again | 07:51 |
| sambagirl | now i know what that spong business is, i wanted to see if it was an alternative with openview. | 07:52 |
| sambagirl | it was in the repository | 07:52 |
| holymoo | glad to hear its working | 07:52 |
| DarkKnight | holymoo; no error mess8's....the browser page turns dark and i cant access the pages | 07:52 |
| bastones | holymoo: I have used ubuntu on my desktop before with probably a previous ver. this year inJuly so I dont understand why it isnt working - I remember last time it took a long time for it to kickstart for first time but this is taking a really long time | 07:53 |
| holymoo | DarkKnight: couple of options. move your .mozilla or .firefox or whatever dir in ~/user dir it is and rename it to something else | 07:53 |
| holymoo | restart ff and see if that fixes anything | 07:53 |
| holymoo | if that doesn't work, try reinstalling | 07:54 |
| holymoo | bastones: new packages, new software, etc. | 07:54 |
| holymoo | bastones: non LTS releases tend to be buggy so who knows | 07:54 |
| holymoo | LTS releases are buggy as well but a little less so | 07:54 |
| bastones | shall i try v8.04? | 07:55 |
| holymoo | so its entirely possible that one will work and another wont say because drivers aren't installed | 07:55 |
| DarkKnight | holymoo... now wer do i find its directory?? | 07:55 |
| dulak | hardy has been rock solid for me on multiple configurations | 07:55 |
| holymoo | sure and then you can dist-upgrade and see how far you get. | 07:55 |
| holymoo | bastones: if you are a noob, you won't really miss much from 8.10 | 07:55 |
| ziroday | DarkKnight: you can also try starting firefox in safe omde | 07:55 |
| army12bc | what is region channel for pa? | 07:55 |
| ziroday | !noob | holymoo | 07:55 |
| ubottu | holymoo: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 07:55 |
| ziroday | army12bc: pa? | 07:55 |
| holymoo | ziroday: check your ops channel | 07:55 |
| holymoo | you will find out i don't really care | 07:55 |
| Conexio1 | Does anybody know a hotkey that will turn your resolution sideways? (Like ctrl+alt right in Windows) | 07:56 |
| sambagirl | which file is it that you put the deb info into ? | 07:56 |
| sambagirl | i forget | 07:56 |
| bazhang | !loco | army12bc | 07:56 |
| ubottu | army12bc: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams | 07:56 |
| holymoo | DarkKnight: open up nautilus and on the left hand side look at your home dir | 07:56 |
| holymoo | it will be named the same as your user name | 07:56 |
| holymoo | click on that | 07:56 |

| ubottu | holymoo: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | 07:56 |
| holymoo | then press ctrl/h | 07:56 |
| ziroday | Conexio1: I know how to do it from the command line | 07:56 |
| holymoo | that will show you all the . directories | 07:56 |
| Conexio1 | how so? :) | 07:56 |
| ziroday | Conexio1: and then you can create a shortcut key for it | 07:56 |
| holymoo | rename the.mozilla to MOZILLA or something like that | 07:56 |
| holymoo | then restart ff and see if that works | 07:56 |
| Conexio1 | That'll work! | 07:57 |
| holymoo | if it works i'll help you restore your bookmarks | 07:57 |
| holymoo | bazhang: you are so tiring. leave me be. | 07:57 |
| ziroday | Conexio1: the command is called xrandr, you can see in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution | 07:57 |
| Conexio1 | k | 07:57 |
| bazhang | holymoo, then stay on topic and abide by the code of conduct. | 07:57 |
| DarkKnight | holymoo...i have no idea abt nautilius | 07:58 |
| holymoo | you guys never learn, eh bazhang? | 07:58 |
| holymoo | DarkKnight: oh just click on any folder on your desktop | 07:58 |
| holymoo | it will openup nautilus for you | 07:58 |
| nastas | 1 pc, 2 sound cards, anyone know how to set 2 music players to different card? | 07:58 |
| mosea | hi guys | 07:58 |
| holymoo | you will see nautilus in the top of the window that opens up | 07:58 |
| Conexio1 | ziroday: I've opened up "Monitor Resolution Settings" and I only see resolution, Refresh Rate, and Rotation | 07:58 |
| ziroday | Conexio1: Rotation is what you want, you can change it there | 07:59 |
| holymoo | nastas: i don't thin kthats possible, but i'd like to know if it trully is no or if it is possible as well | 07:59 |
| holymoo | good question | 07:59 |
| Conexio1 | I tried that earlier and it crashed xD | 07:59 |
| Conexio1 | had to force shut down | 07:59 |
| mosea | anyone here can guide me in reinstalling ubuntu 8.10 64 bit from ubuntu 8.04 32bit | 07:59 |
| mosea | i want to do a fresh install | 07:59 |
| ziroday | Conexio1: ah, well open up a command line and type in xrandr -o left | 07:59 |
| holymoo | mosea: forget it. install via cd from scratch | 07:59 |
| Conexio1 | k :) | 08:00 |
| mosea | i can do that | 08:00 |
| nastas | holymoo: i did it with amarok and audacious | 08:00 |
| holymoo | nastas: really? sweet. how? | 08:00 |
| leohartx | how do i check opengl on my system / | 08:00 |
| holymoo | run glxgears | 08:00 |
| ziroday | leohartx: check it how? | 08:00 |
| holymoo | if it runs you have ogl | 08:00 |
| nastas | holymoo: i just set the audacious to use the second card | 08:00 |
| mosea | but i want to know how i can reinstall on the same partition without disturbing other partitions | 08:01 |
| holymoo | nastas: from audacious preferences? | 08:01 |
| ziroday | mosea: you can just overwrite the partition with 32bit ubuntu on | 08:01 |
| holymoo | does amarok have same preferences? time to check. neato | 08:01 |
| bazhang | mosea, set a seperate home | 08:01 |
| bazhang | !home | mosea | 08:01 |
| ubottu | mosea: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 08:01 |
| seaoftea | is there a dlna upnp media client for linux? | 08:01 |
| dr_willis | !upnp | 08:02 |
| ubottu | To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package | 08:02 |
| slope | is there a read/write safe to mount ext3 partitions from win32 based OSs? | 08:02 |
| ziroday | bazhang: I believe he/she wants to do a fresh install | 08:02 |
| leohartx | ziroday: oh, srry i mean check if my graphic card support opengl or not | 08:02 |
| dr_willis | seaoftea, Hmm.. Ive seen where that geexbox media disrto can access upnp servers.. but ive not used it a lot fo that | 08:02 |
| ziroday | slope: yes there is a driver at fs-driver.org iirc | 08:02 |
| nastas | holymoo: yes. but the only problem is that audacious needs to restart my pc 2-3 times to start playing | 08:02 |
| Bowtrik | So what do I need to do to play DvDs? | 08:02 |
| seaoftea | !info mediatomb | 08:02 |
| ubottu | mediatomb (source: mediatomb): UPnP MediaServer (main package). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.0-3ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 17 kB, installed size 96 kB | 08:02 |
| bazhang | ziroday, thought he wanted to leave others undisturbed | 08:02 |
| === c is now known as sekrit | ||
| ziroday | leohartx: holymoo had it right, run glxgears | 08:02 |
| holymoo | nastas: aha sweet. thx fo r heads up | 08:02 |
| seaoftea | I dont want a media server, I already have one. I want a client | 08:03 |
| dr_willis | Bowtrik, i install the proper packages from the medibuntu repos | 08:03 |
| ziroday | bazhang: erm he said "mosea> i want to do a fresh install" | 08:03 |
| Conexion | blah, Ubuntu crashed again when I did that xD | 08:03 |
| dr_willis | seaoftea, that geexbox media disrto can access upnp servers.. it uses mplayer, but im not sure what else | 08:03 |
| slope | ty ziroday | 08:03 |
| ziroday | Conexion: hmm, then it appears you graphics card drivers/card don't support changing rotation :) | 08:03 |
| nastas | holymoo: maybe is audacious bug. | 08:03 |
| Bowtrik | dr_willis, are you really a doctor? :) | 08:04 |
| dr_willis | Bowtrik, Im a Dr of Love. ;P | 08:04 |
| Bowtrik | I knew it | 08:04 |
| mosea | i have already 3 other partions where i can backup my data but want to do a fresh install on the same partition as the old ubuntu | 08:04 |
| Conexion | hah, alright. I'm using a Eee PC netbook. Just curious if it would work! thanks ziroday! | 08:04 |
| ziroday | Conexion: which model? | 08:04 |
| Bowtrik | I graduated Magna Cum Laude myself. | 08:04 |
| Conexion | 900A | 08:04 |
| leohartx | ziroday: what does it mean when display 3 gears spining ? | 08:04 |
| cojones_ | how can i clear the hardware driver cache? | 08:04 |
| nastas | holymoo: i run a restorant with 2 floors and i need 2 play different kind of music on each floor | 08:04 |
| ziroday | mosea: then you can just overwrite your old partition | 08:05 |
| ziroday | leohartx: you have opengl running | 08:05 |
| ziroday | Conexion: ah, I can do it just fine on my 701 so its odd it doesn't work on your 900A | 08:05 |
| Conexion | ziroday: 900A | 08:05 |
| Conexion | odd | 08:05 |
| holymoo | nastas: hey cool ! | 08:05 |
| Conexion | Ill see if anyone has a solution on the eee pc side | 08:05 |
| ziroday | Conexion: you running compiz? and how exactly does it "crash" | 08:06 |
| leohartx | ziroday: so i have both direct render and opengl on my system, but my graphic card have problem with compiz | 08:06 |
| nastas | holymoo: do you have any idea about audacious? i mean why adcious need to restart the pc to make it work? | 08:06 |
| Conexion | Yup, running compiz, and it looks like it rotates sideways, but doesn't reverse the resolultion.. | 08:06 |
| Conexion | then I cant click anything | 08:06 |
| ziroday | leohartx: what graphics card? | 08:06 |
| ziroday | Conexion: reverse the resolution? | 08:07 |
| leohartx | ziroday: intel intergrated X3100 | 08:07 |
| Conexion | like | 08:07 |
| holymoo | nastas: not even remotely. never used it. sorry dude. | 08:07 |
| Conexion | it turns the whole screen sideways, but doesnt make the width the height, and the height the width | 08:07 |
| holymoo | i can tell you that your line of query will be first the ubuntu/debian packager, thenupstream to the devs them selves | 08:07 |
| holymoo | thats the only way you will find out the question to something that esoteric | 08:07 |
| Conexion | So the sides are 'cut off' and there is a bunch of black bellow it | 08:08 |
| holymoo | well more like malone issue tracker then upstream i guess | 08:08 |
| nastas | holymoo: ok. try it. itworks. maybe it happens just to me :) | 08:08 |
| ziroday | Conexion: hmm, no idea about that. Sorry | 08:08 |
| Conexion | no problem ziroday :) | 08:08 |
| NicEXE | I want to setup a vpn between Ubuntu and my Windows installation (on VBox)... How to start? | 08:08 |

| leohartx | ziroday: when i use google earth, some 3d game, some special effect of compiz-fusion the screen getting crazy | 08:09 |

| Corwin | I just got new laptop today and put kubuntu Ibex on it. I installed nfs-common. I put the same fstab entries from my Debian box but am unable to mount any nfs4 shares on my Solaris box | 08:09 |
| Bowtrik | Dr_willis, is this the code I would use for my Intrepid Ibex installation? "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list" | 08:09 |
| creative | can anyone help me ? | 08:09 |
| rytis | no | 08:09 |
| leohartx | ziroday: how do i solve that prob ? | 08:09 |
| ziroday | leohartx: perhaps your graphics card is just not powerful enough | 08:09 |

| leohartx | Frogzoo: yes | 08:11 |

| Corwin | Why is ubuntu so much worse than Debian? It doesn;t seem like it should be that much different | 08:14 |
| holymoo | Corwin: rapid release cycles | 08:15 |
| holymoo | its impossible to do proper testing in 6 month release cycles | 08:15 |
| holymoo | its not for lack of trying | 08:15 |
| Corwin | But Debain Unstable works amazingly well | 08:15 |

| storm-zen | vyoman: I think there is a plugin that can do that for you. | 08:16 |
| leohartx | bazhang: can you answer me ? | 08:16 |
| Corwin | you're right, it was a dumb ass think for me to try putting Ubuntu on my laptop. | 08:16 |
| Corwin | s/think/thing/ | 08:17 |
| bazhang | leohartx, from the repos or the tar.gz | 08:17 |
| holymoo | Corwin: one ascertains a particular distro for its characteristics and lives with it | 08:17 |
| holymoo | Corwin: ubuntu is inherently unstable, its closer to unstable/experimental | 08:17 |
| holymoo | so make a choice, you either want that or don't | 08:17 |
| leohartx | bazhang: any other way ? and the upper question to :) | 08:17 |

| Negroid | "Personally, I do not hate niggers at all, I just correctly understand that they are not human and treat them accordingly. They are nothing more than wild niggers running around loose and one must act accordingly around them. A hundred and fifty years or so ago, people in this country treated niggers accordingly and kept them contained and controlled. We made them useful by managing their numbers, containing them, and forcing them to work | 08:18 |
| Negroid | and be somewhat productive. But the natural empathy of the White man caused him to unrestrain a species of animal (niggers) largely due to the fact they they mimick humans in their behavior and dress. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, he can't be put back in and we're stuck with living around 30 million wild niggers. | 08:18 |
| Negroid | I am never surprised when I hear stories of TNB; stories of niggers raping, torturing, murdering and beating White people. Stories from Africa of them raping babies, toddlers, and goats; drinking lizard pee and smoking their own shit to get high. The rampant disease and famine there and watching their nigglets die off by the millions while their mammies get gang-banged in the bush to pump out another litter. Nothing about niggers surprise | 08:18 |

| leohartx | Frogzoo: well, where does DVD mount ? | 08:30 |
| Frogzoo | leohartx: should mount typically on /dev/dvd | 08:30 |
| peerlessdeepak | The modem was running linux and I was able to access its web based config utility till yesterday | 08:31 |
| ziroday | leohartx: you might also want to look in /dev/scd0 | 08:31 |

| ziroday | jin: you will need to install all the 32bit libraries that it depends on as well. However you are free to try it and if it doesn't work remove it | 08:36 |
| Frogzoo | HorizonXP: ie. the kernel doesn't recognise the key presses - you'll need a new kernel/module | 08:36 |

| niall | Oins, to back up your windows partition, use the windows tool. | 08:52 |
| niall | Oins, or Norton Ghost. | 08:52 |
| Oins | niall, the reason for the backup is. i installed all patches etc. at the windows system. after 1day installing i like to backup the actual status from the system to save the time for reinstall | 08:53 |

| niall | Oins, i also tire of microsoft, but to give them a little credit, my dual monitors work way better under vista | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | niall, i find they work better for me under linux.. :) but i guess it depends on whatyou are doing. | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | niall, it does help when the video card makers pay you to 'certify' their drivers.. | 09:19 |
| xcerca | dr_willis , ok thanks | 09:19 |
| niall | dr_willis if you have some advice for me, i'd be very happy. Currently I can only use 3/4ths of my right monitor | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | niall, what video card? Nvidia? | 09:19 |
| niall | dr_willis, its an aging nvidia which is getting close to being replaced | 09:20 |
| niall | dr_willis, i bought it before i got involved in 'nix | 09:20 |
| === bjames is now known as Guest90871 | ||
| dr_willis | niall, what i normally do.. install the proper nvidia drivers, install nvidia-settings, and nvidia-xconfig.. reboot so its using the drivers.. backup the working xorg.conf, then run nvidia-settings as root.. tweak the Settings.. if you 'apply' the thing sort of works.. but i MUST MUST MUST restart the X server to get all apps to work properly after tweaking the xorg.conf with nvidia-settings | 09:21 |
| dr_willis | niall, if you use nvidia-settings and apply the changes.. the 2nd monitor does work forme.. but not all apps are aware of the nature/twinview setup. so may not work righ till you restart the X server. IS the big issue ive seen | 09:22 |
| niall | dr_willis, good advice, and i did that under Heron and had no problems. since I opted to Ibex, this issue stared | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | niall, ive not had any issues under ibex with it. on my... hmm.. nvidia 5500 video card machine. Not trried twinview on the 8800gtsxxx yet. | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | i aslso normally use twniview for a monitor+tv out dual setup.. not 2 monitors | 09:23 |
| niall | dr_willis I'm on an 8600, but for some reason X Server cant overwrite my config file | 09:23 |
| dr_willis | niall, Hmm.. at least nvidia-settins isent core-dumping on you like it was doing during beta. :) | 09:24 |
| niall | dr_willis, touche, its just kind of annoying, its not a big deal. | 09:24 |

| daaaman64 | hahaha | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | zetheroo, | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | try avidemux - a free video editor - gtk version | 09:28 |

| niall | dr_willis, i did, but it didnt look anything trust worthy | 09:31 |
| ziroday | daaaman64: its not open source and its not free, so its probably not popular here :) I was not aware it even ran on linux | 09:31 |

| Gnea | Ast001: well, you need to make sure that what it found is really a virus | 09:53 |
| DIFH-iceroot | chatcoppa: no, if everything works fine, you dont need to upgrade, 8.10 has no LTS | 09:53 |
| ikonia | Richard_: ls -lR | wc -l counts your files, and don't put 32bit debs on a 64bit system | 09:53 |
| niall | Gnea, lol i'm aware, but that's just me, i really am a nice guy, i swear | 09:53 |
| Gnea | Ast001: try doing a google search for Trojan.Tull | 09:53 |

| aladdin | who are you all | 09:55 |

| Ast001 | ok thanks see you later | 09:57 |
| jvargas | is it ok to increase the size the partition end with cfdisk ? | 09:58 |
| chatcoppa | hmm | 09:58 |
| aladdin | I like there very much | 09:58 |
| jvargas | would'nt that affect data? | 09:58 |
| Yuji1 | I'd use GParted. | 09:58 |

| Yuji1 | Insults are not asked for here. | 10:04 |
| ikonia | chatcoppa: the reason your graphics change is because the modules for the nvidia card is not setup to run with the openvz kernel | 10:04 |
| chatcoppa | im not insulting | 10:04 |
| chatcoppa | im just stating the truth | 10:05 |

| Flannel | m0u5e: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Automatic%20%20Keyring | 10:05 |
| chatcoppa | okay so how can i set it to have it run with the openvz kernel? | 10:05 |
| Gnea | chatcoppa: did you follow this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ | 10:05 |
| niall | Wow, the pople on #cisco are nasty, nasty people | 10:05 |
| Flannel | m0u5e: See the section section regarding changing it | 10:05 |
| chmac | technopagan: Or did you upgrade? | 10:05 |
| ikonia | chatcoppa: you need to manually load the modules | 10:05 |
| ikonia | chatcoppa: but that is not something the ubuntu support channel is for | 10:06 |
| technopagan | chmac: I didn't activate the backports-module this time. But even with backports, the iwl3945-kernelpanic bug should be fixed now | 10:06 |
| technopagan | chmac: I made a clean install | 10:06 |

| technopagan | chmac: You're welcome | 10:07 |

| m0u5e | Flannel: it just says /bash: /usr/lib/libpam-keyring/pam-keyring-tool: No such file or directory :( | 10:07 |
| chatcoppa | where is the ubuntu support channel | 10:08 |
| Yuji1 | chatcoppa: Well follow this right back to them. It is their kernel, not Ubuntu's. | 10:08 |
| ikonia | chatcoppa: your in it, as you well know | 10:08 |
| chatcoppa | .......... | 10:08 |
| m0u5e | Flannel: shouldn't the keyring password be the users password by default? i think it would get really confusing for a user to change his/her password and the keyring password to not change as well | 10:08 |
| Gnea | chatcoppa: we support ubuntu in the general sense, but openvz is a specific application, which would probably better be covered in #openvz | 10:09 |
| Bowtrik | What command do I need to use to install the compiz control panel? | 10:09 |
| bazhang | !ccsm | Bowtrik | 10:09 |

| Makaveli_ | hey | 10:10 |
| Kate27 | Hello, i have laptop with 350 GB HDD divided into 2 partitions (Ubuntu.Vista) , i am now using the live-cd and i would like to delete the Ubuntu partition , when i used the tool "gparted" i get an error msg : Unable to delete /dev/sda5! please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5 " ? | 10:10 |
| waxhead | how cool is this... I have NetworkManager Icon back again... | 10:10 |
| waxhead | after the upgrade it was missing... | 10:10 |
| bazhang | Yuji1, which card and what version of ubuntu, which drivers and how installed | 10:10 |
| waxhead | seems fairly simple in the end... | 10:11 |
| peerlessdeepak | A remote server deny's telnet access ..whenever i connect to it - it gets connected and disconnected soon saying"Connection closed by foreign host" | 10:11 |
| Yuji1 | I've removed all Nvidia-related stuff, an NVidia 6200. | 10:11 |
| Yuji1 | Worked wonderfully, beautifully before the upgrade.. | 10:11 |
| peerlessdeepak | I am stuck with this telnet for the past one day..can anyone help me | 10:11 |
| Gnea | peerlessdeepak: that's what any smart admin would do | 10:11 |
| Yuji1 | Gnea: ;) | 10:11 |
| waxhead | peerlessdeepak: telnet is bad.. you should be using ssh | 10:11 |
| bazhang | Yuji1, did you check release notes? | 10:11 |
| bazhang | !notes | 10:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 10:12 |
| peerlessdeepak | Gnea: I was able to connect to it yesterday | 10:12 |
| m0u5e | why is intrepid so buggy? | 10:12 |
| Gnea | peerlessdeepak: is the remote system yours? | 10:12 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: it's buggy? how? | 10:12 |
| peerlessdeepak | waxhead: Gnea: The remote system is a router... yes its mine | 10:12 |
| Gnea | peerlessdeepak: then you need to fix it | 10:12 |
| Yuji1 | bazhang: I read about Nvidia drivers being leaned towards a free open-source instead of those proprietaries, but I prefer the proprietaries... | 10:12 |
| matt70 | hi, has anyone switched from 8.04 32bit to 64? I'm looking for an "upgrade" option that will do that in syaptic rather than reinstalling | 10:12 |
| waxhead | peerlessdeepak: on your own dude... | 10:13 |
| Gnea | peerlessdeepak: is it running ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| bazhang | matt70, there is no such option | 10:13 |
| Yuji1 | bazhang: I do not want to use the new ones..Nothing has worked any way. :( | 10:13 |
| waxhead | peerlessdeepak: can't offer much help ... since we don't know what it is... | 10:13 |
| MexTux | I installed a new usplash theme using StartUp-Manager. The new usplash theme is metal-theme but when the computer is booting the usplash screen is not full screen. The usplash screen is a little frame | 10:13 |
| matt70 | bazhang, so.... reinstall is the only option? | 10:13 |
| bazhang | Yuji1, not sure about that card sorry | 10:13 |
| peerlessdeepak | waxhead: sorry i knew its offtopic | 10:14 |
| Yuji1 | bazhang: Its any card. I've tried several. | 10:14 |
| bazhang | matt70, to change from 32bit to 64bit? Yes | 10:14 |
| Yuji1 | No Nvidia driver works. Any combinations so far. | 10:14 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: well, with wireless and WPA keys, it still keeps asking me for my keys even though I have them saved... also, transmission no longer has a tray icon, nvidia has this weird static brick whenever i minimize or unminimize / open my windows, my network-manager keyring doesn't automatically update the password when I switch passwords, my cpu-freq panel doesn't display correctly anymore... | 10:14 |
| bazhang | Yuji1, the 7300 works flawlessly here | 10:14 |
| waxhead | peerlessdeepak: it's worth asking.. there are smart people here... | 10:14 |
| peerlessdeepak | waxhead: but i am asking here since ppl would know about common telnet responses | 10:14 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: oh and cheese no longer works for me :/ | 10:14 |
| Yuji1 | I used an upgrade, not a fresh install, could that be..? | 10:14 |
| bazhang | Yuji1, doubtful | 10:14 |
| balachmar | My sound is broken, how can I restart it? (/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart) and pulseaudio -k pulseaudio didn't work) | 10:15 |
| peerlessdeepak | gnea: I am running ubuntu and from ubuntu box i am trying to telnet to the router box | 10:15 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: is that with the same account that you upgraded from or have you tried making a new account and logging in with that? | 10:15 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: also, my sound is patchy, whenever I mute, sometimes I get this weird static sound... | 10:15 |
| Gnea | peerlessdeepak: what's that make/model of the router? | 10:15 |
| Yuji1 | *sigh* How would I go about installing the old, "non-new" drivers? | 10:15 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: sounds like a speaker-wire connectivity issue | 10:15 |
| peerlessdeepak | beetel 405bxl | 10:15 |
| Yuji1 | Not sure which ones are it, so I tried all and well, that didn't help either. | 10:15 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: all of this worked fine in hardy | 10:16 |
| peerlessdeepak | gnea: i was able to access its webinterface and even telnet till yesterday | 10:16 |
| peerlessdeepak | gnea: but today somehow nothing works | 10:16 |
| peerlessdeepak | gnea: nmap still shows port 23 to be open | 10:16 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: things that worked fine in hardy just stopped working in Intrepid... not to the point of where my system is hosed, but its just very annoying... | 10:16 |

| Gnea | IchigoMorino: nah, it'll just remove your whole GUI. the kernel and commandline terminal consoles will run just fine. | 10:20 |

| bazhang | IchigoMorino, it wont hurt the gui | 10:23 |
| IchigoMorino | Gnea said it would. | 10:23 |
| Bowtrik | Bupsss: That must be why I have heard of it. I hope someone can help you. You having trouble installing it yourself? | 10:24 |
| Gnea | IchigoMorino: you know, I'm not entirely certain that it will actually remove everything - since it is a meta-package, it probably won't. you can always just reinstall it afterwards and everythign should be fine | 10:24 |

| Bupsss | Bowtrik, no.... i'm trying to install a software through wine, but it doesnt accept the license and as maya has the same license system, i was hoping to understand how does it works on linux | 10:25 |
| bazhang | IchigoMorino, just reinstall if you want to upgrade to the next version via apt | 10:25 |
| bazhang | IchigoMorino, in six months time | 10:25 |

| Bowtrik | Bupsss: I only used wine once to try and install the newest version of AIM. Didn't work. | 10:26 |
| Bowtrik | Pidgin is fine though. I really like it. | 10:26 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69567/ (its a dell xps m1330) | 10:26 |
| Bowtrik | It handles AIM, but it also lets me on IRC, and probably anything else I could imagine. | 10:26 |
| guerby | hi, is anyone experiencing a very slow shutdown/poweroff on intreprid? | 10:27 |

| m0u5e | Bowtrik: once pidgin upgraded it's msn libraries i was more than satisfied | 10:27 |

| vallhalla81 | hello all I upgraded my system last night 8.4>8.10 and when i booted this morning my mouse is all jumpy and mostly un usable can anyone advise? | 10:28 |

| Gnea | m0u5e: np - btw, OUCH, you've got some serious problems there | 10:28 |
| m0u5e | Bupsss: I don't think msn supports video conferencing (yet)... :( | 10:29 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: :( whats the problem? | 10:29 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: for some reason, your system isn't passing data very well across the bus... try this as a boot option: pci=routeirq | 10:29 |
| Bupsss | m0u5e ok, tnx | 10:29 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: you need to re-align your interrupts so that everything flows smoothly - there are too many inconsistancies | 10:29 |

| Pizarro | I have a question: which version is recommendable now? 8.0 or 8.10? Yesterday I installed the 8.10 one but O had a lot of problem with the bugy NetworkManager in order to make a VPN connection to work, so I am thinking about installing the 8.04 back.. Does it worth to install the 8.10 now or shall I wait some months and go then with 8.10? | 10:31 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: no, it should help it boot better, i don't think a clean install is going to make a difference (i could be wrong about that, but...)... try editting your /boot/grub/menu.lst and for the first (top) kernel line, add pci=routeirq to the end of 'quiet splash' | 10:31 |
| newbie_martin | hello ubuntu users | 10:32 |
| Makaveli_ | hi | 10:32 |
| newbie_martin | i have a small problem with okular | 10:32 |
| newbie_martin | i cant get the presentation mode on fullscreen. what am i doing wrong? | 10:32 |
| Richhard_ | Guys :D When i shutdown the laptop i can see the orange bar of the splash going down, but it won't finnish, it goes to 80-90% and then the pc goes to a blank state(black) with a blinkin' cursor on top left, so i have to press the power button myself to shut it down, could i have damaged any file of the system or left temporary files(as the splash doesnt go to 0% unloading) by pressing the button? | 10:33 |
| Pizarro | Just simple question: 0.04 or 8.10? | 10:33 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: recovery mode will allow me to boot normally in the case of something catastrophic happening right? | 10:34 |
| rabe | hi | 10:34 |
| milligan | I need bandwidth limiting on a pr user basis. Can anyone suggest a software piece (no gui), or a nice howto on iptables ? | 10:34 |

| Gnea | m0u5e: yeah | 10:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Pizarro: 8.10 | 10:34 |
| Pizarro | DIFH-iceroot, why? | 10:34 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: do you have a livecd just in case? | 10:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Pizarro: newest version | 10:34 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Pizarro: but 8.04 has LTS | 10:34 |

| Pizarro | DIFH-iceroot, but it is still under testing right? yesterday I found out for isntance that the netwokrmanager is bugy with VPN connections | 10:35 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: i understand - give this a try. | 10:35 |
| Myrtti | Pizarro: what is under testing? | 10:36 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: heh, i have to open some powerpoints for a class, too... just got OO3 installed in intrepid, so kinda stoked about that | 10:36 |
| DIFH-iceroot | Pizarro: no its final | 10:36 |
| Pizarro | Myrtti, I am asking if the new version 8.10 is still under testing | 10:36 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: alright, gonna go ahead and reboot with pci=routeirq after splash | 10:36 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: oh hows oo3? ive been meaning to give it a try | 10:36 |
| Myrtti | Pizarro: it's November, so no, it's been released. | 10:36 |
| rabe | how can i change some settings how to open a file-typ in nautilus? | 10:36 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: anyways brb :) | 10:36 |

| bazhang | Pizarro, then you need to fresh install | 10:38 |
| Pizarro | bazhang, I installed from CD into a new hard disk | 10:39 |
| macario | Hey, does anyboyd know if there's any way to enable the "fonts:///" way to install ttf files in Intrepid? | 10:39 |
| bazhang | Yuji1, this is hardy? | 10:39 |
| Yuji1 | Intrepid. | 10:39 |
| Pizarro | bazhang, and the bug is well known in the launchpad..so it is not as stable as it supposed to be.. | 10:39 |
| bazhang | Yuji1, what is with that kernel | 10:39 |
| Yuji1 | No clue. | 10:39 |
| Yuji1 | ...Wait. | 10:40 |
| bazhang | Yuji1, what does uname -a show | 10:40 |
| Yuji1 | I am using old kernel I believe. | 10:40 |
| Myrtti | if that is Intrepid, how can it have that kernel? | 10:40 |
| Yuji1 | I told grub to keep my config. | 10:40 |
| bazhang | oho | 10:40 |
| Myrtti | except from an update | 10:40 |
| rabe | how can i change some settings how to open a file-typ in nautilus please??? | 10:40 |
| Yuji1 | ls on /boot shows a 2.6.27-7. | 10:40 |

| Richhard_ | Yuji1, When i shutdown the laptop i can see the orange bar of the splash going down, but it won't finnish, it goes to 80-90% and then the pc goes to a blank state(black) with a blinkin' cursor on top left, so i have to press the power button myself to shut it down, could i have damaged any file of the system or left temporary files(as the splash doesnt go to 0% unloading) by pressing the button? | 10:40 |
| Richhard_ | What can cause this? any proccess still running? | 10:40 |
| Yuji1 | (and of course my current) | 10:40 |
| Yuji1 | So I just edit menu.lst to newer kernel. | 10:40 |
| Pizarro | so my question, If I have 8.04 with the latest updates...won't it be the same situation as having 8.10? | 10:41 |
| Andreica | now i'm using x64 ubuntu 8.10,some minutes ago, i booted from ubuntu 8.04 live cd, and there my phone worked good, but on this version it don't work | 10:41 |

| m0u5e | Gnea: yeah, i like ppt07s reflective picture things :D | 10:47 |
| Yuji1 | ...Well I was about near passing out when upgrading. So I thought, just keep, thinking it was a setting. No tea does that. | 10:47 |
| Yuji1 | But emerald --replace does nothing still. | 10:47 |

| outbackwifi | PB: hostname | 10:54 |
| ole_ | mouse ok then go back to 8.04 hi hi | 10:55 |

| m0u5e | Gnea: more like i got my xps m1330 before dell offered ubuntu on it :( | 10:59 |
| Yuji1 | Change to a specific. | 10:59 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: oh - yeah, that was an interesting time | 10:59 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: and because i still experience issues at time, I can't "get rid" of vista, because dell will always ask me to install it again before they fix my hardware parts :/ | 10:59 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: so i'm kinda forced to keep vista... and yeah, dell won't let me switch from Vista to Ubuntu | 11:00 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: oh... and I can't play games on Ubuntu :( | 11:00 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: yeah, as long as you're on their warranty program, that's the best way to go, unfortunately :/ | 11:00 |

| Gnea | m0u5e: you could always buy another hard drive for it and throw ubuntu on that and just swap 'em - kinda defeats the whole dual-booting thing tho | 11:01 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: I might just find an old laptop sata hd, install vista on it, than swap it with another HD where I install ubuntu | 11:01 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: LOL yeah! | 11:01 |
| c0re_ | how do i install x11 themes? | 11:01 |

| fosco__ | wolfie2x: same time aprox | 11:02 |
| ziroday | wolfie2x: marginally yes, however your mileage may vary | 11:02 |
| ArtyG | Yay bots. Regardless, does anything thing that they can answer some stupid questions of mine when I get an install rolling? | 11:02 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: nice. well, i gotta catch some z's, good luck | 11:02 |
| outbackwifi | wolfie2x: i always hibernate so gnome apparently boots very fast | 11:02 |
| m0u5e | Gnea: thanks for the help :) gonna go to bed soon too, thanks | 11:02 |
| Gnea | m0u5e: you're welcome :) | 11:02 |
| wolfie2x | outbackwifi: does hibernate work!?? never works for me :-O | 11:02 |
| c0re_ | outbackwifi, yea i know where to get them but how do i use them? | 11:03 |
| wolfie2x | outbackwifi: not in hardy nor in intrepid | 11:03 |
| outbackwifi | wolfie2x: sure does; both suspend and hibernate | 11:03 |
| wolfie2x | outbackwifi: do u see a progress bar while hibernating? i see a cursor blinking.. that's it | 11:03 |
| c0re_ | x11 Cursor themes | 11:03 |
| outbackwifi | wolfie2x: nope i dont see a progress bar but a lot of disk activity and then click. the machine goes dead | 11:04 |
| wolfie2x | outbackwifi: how often do u do a clean restart/shutdown? | 11:05 |
| outbackwifi | wolfie2x: once a day; cant remember | 11:06 |
| bullgard4 | What command checks the ADSL connection to the modem of my ADSL provider? | 11:06 |
| amews_aj | When I start "check memory" from live cd, it gives a blue screen with some text at top, then instantly reboots | 11:06 |
| wolfie2x | outbackwifi: so u dont actually hibernate/resume for days? | 11:06 |
| ArtyG | amews_aj: Sounds like a fail to me. | 11:07 |
| outbackwifi | bullgard4: not sure what you mean; if you're using pppoe then ifconfig shows the interface | 11:07 |
| amews_aj | ArtyG: memory or memtest ? | 11:07 |
| outbackwifi | wolfie2x: hmm guess not | 11:07 |
| ArtyG | Well, if it just crashes out, I don't think it really matters. | 11:07 |
| amews_aj | ArtyG: I can boot my machine with no problems. | 11:07 |
| bullgard4 | outbackwifi: Not PPPOE but ADSL. | 11:07 |
| ArtyG | Of course, it could just be a lack of godly luck when it comes to doing those, I find constant problems like that with the Ubuntu booting from an install disk. | 11:08 |
| wolfie2x | bullgard4: what's ur ADSL modem? USB? | 11:08 |
| outbackwifi | bullgard4: you mean like you want to check ATM frames and stuff? | 11:08 |
| wolfie2x | bullgard4: ADSL has 2 methods: PPPoE and PPPoA | 11:08 |
| bullgard4 | wolfie2x: An ADSL modem is hardware. USB is bus standard. Both have nothing to do with each other. | 11:09 |
| bullgard4 | a | 11:09 |
| outbackwifi | bullgard4: your problem statement is really not clear | 11:09 |
| bullgard4 | outbackwifi: Roughly speaking, yes. | 11:09 |
| wolfie2x | bullgard4: just trying to figure ur setup.. It took 3 weeks for me to get my USB ADSL modem working | 11:10 |
| outbackwifi | bullgard4: are you trying to fix the connection from the adsl modem to the dslam or from laptop/pc to adsl modem? | 11:10 |
| bullgard4 | wolfie2x: I am not speaking about any USB ADSL modems. | 11:10 |
| ArtyG | Stupid question everyone: How can I make the Ubuntu Alt Installer not whine about not having an internet connection? I mean, it's the full install ISO... | 11:10 |
| === Artemisgoldfish is now known as artyg | ||
| Welshman | thanks for Ibex | 11:11 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: at what stage does that whining happen? | 11:11 |
| bullgard4 | outbackwifi: I am not trying to fix it. I am asking for a program command that checks the connection to the modem at the privider's side. | 11:11 |
| bullgard4 | provider's | 11:12 |
| artyg | Well, I'm installing the Alt install (Previously, on "Whining: The series") and it forces me to pick a mirror and such. | 11:12 |
| artyg | And if I don't have it connected to my slow, slow internet, it won't let me install it as it is on the storage device. | 11:12 |
| outbackwifi | bullgard4: most adsl modems come with a diagnostic utility. these check the adsl as well as the ip parameters. | 11:12 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: ah you're trying to install from an iso of the alt cd which is on a storage device? | 11:13 |
| artyg | Yes. | 11:13 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: cant do that, im afraid | 11:14 |
| artyg | Really? | 11:14 |
| bullgard4 | outbackwifi: No. Most ADSL modems at the provider's side do not come with a diagnostic utility. They are professional products for professionals. | 11:14 |
| artyg | Because if I try the normal install, the video mode is all crazy because of the stupidness of VIA Unichrome. | 11:14 |
| c0re_ | i am trying to change x11 cursors themes via update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme.. but its doesnt change the themes.. any help? | 11:14 |
| outbackwifi | bullgard4: i didnt say at provider's side, i said your modem. and the ones at the providers end are called DSLAM | 11:14 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: you need to burn the alt iso to a cd and boot off it | 11:15 |
| artyg | So it won't just work from a USB MSD? | 11:15 |
| outbackwifi | c0re_: system->preferences->appearance-> install | 11:15 |
| artyg | I mean, even other ubuntu-based distros will boot and install from it fine. | 11:15 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: unless you made a usb installer out of it | 11:15 |
| artyg | UNetbootin, makes great bootable USBs. | 11:16 |
| topk | 810为什么老是断线? | 11:16 |
| ziroday | !cn | topk | 11:16 |
| ubottu | topk: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 11:16 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: so it stops being an iso after that; but coming back to your question, i havent seen mine asking for the 'net | 11:16 |
| artyg | Yeah, it gets to "Choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive", which it won't go past until I actually connect it to the internet, which tries to download all the files to install rather then reading them from the MSD. | 11:17 |
| bullgard4 | outbackwifi: But I asked for an Ubuntu command to check the connection between my computer and the DSLAM. | 11:17 |
| outbackwifi | bullgard4: you didnt; you asked for a software to check the modem at the provider's end | 11:18 |
| c0re_ | outbackwifi, to install cursors themes? | 11:18 |
| outbackwifi | c0re_: yes; once it gets installed, just click on customize and select the cursor from the pointers tab | 11:18 |
| Brucevdk | outbackwifi: does it make sense reposting my question here every other day? :-) | 11:19 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: that looks like a netboot image | 11:19 |
| artyg | Are most netboot images 713MB? | 11:19 |
| wers | what dvd ripper can you recommend?i just tried dvd::rip and the output avi file doesnt seem to be ripped cleanly | 11:19 |
| outbackwifi | Brucevdk: sure; diff people come in everyday | 11:19 |
| c0re_ | cool thanks outbackwifi | 11:19 |
| Brucevdk | outbackwifi: alright then :) | 11:19 |
| bullgard4 | outbackwifi: Sorry. Please read again: "12:06 < bullgard4> What command checks the ADSL connection to the modem of my ADSL provider?" | 11:19 |
| Brucevdk | If anybody has extensive experience with setting up permissions on locally shared folders between multiple users, e.g. using traditional UGO permissions or POSIX ACLs could one take a look at the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975488 The problem is that when copying files into the shared folder, the permissions of those files are preserved (denying other people access in certain cases). | 11:19 |

| tdawgedogg | did anyone else have a problem installing 8.10 to a raid 0 array....its showing in the partition manager at install that they are separate drives when they should be one big raid drive? | 11:21 |
| Ahtenus | How do I shut down gnome? I have tried to type sudo init 3 but nothing happens | 11:21 |
| josh | hello, has anyone been having in problems with ibis and gstreamer codecs, i isntalled the codecs and my videos are coming out all flickery :\ | 11:21 |
| outbackwifi | Ahtenus: it normally shuts down by clicking on the little red icon on top right corner and selecting shutdown | 11:22 |
| ng_ | anyone else has that much problems with the new vlc player? it's buffering and lagging the streams i watched well with the old version... | 11:22 |
| Welshman | perfect in vista, not tried bunt | 11:23 |
| Ahtenus | outbackwifi: but i only want to shut down gnome and enter terminal... to save ram using ubuntu server.. | 11:23 |
| artyg | I'm actually having less problems with the new VLC than the old one (which had a tendency to crash when playing DVD's) | 11:23 |
| fosco__ | Ahtenus: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 11:24 |
| fosco__ | and close session | 11:24 |
| artyg | Hey, extra-stupid question: How do I get the terminal to change it's display properties (number of rows of text) | 11:25 |
| tdawgedogg | is there any reason why the raid disks are showing as separate disks during install? | 11:25 |
| SuperMario1776 | I am trying to copy files to a USB drive in ubuntu 8.04, but I keep getting an error saying "the destination drive is read only". What do I have to do to allow writing to the drive? | 11:25 |
| outbackwifi | Ahtenus: ah system-administration-services click unlock and uncheck gdm. once you do this, select logout or ctl+alt+backspace | 11:26 |
| outbackwifi | SuperMario1776: if it has a write-protect switch, flick it to write mode | 11:26 |
| alan | anyone know of a repository for LADSPA plugins? | 11:27 |
| Don123 | I don't know the protocols here but I have a question about monitor resolution. Version 7.10 correctly detected my 1440x900 monitor but I made a fresh install of 8.04.1 and it gives me a choice either of 640x480 or using 1440x900 in a virtual mode which is still apparently a 640x480 setting. How do I set it to do real 1440x900? | 11:27 |
| fosco__ | artyg: gnome-terminal --geometry=80x50 | 11:27 |
| artyg | I mean, the REAL terminal. No Xserver | 11:27 |
| artyg | 800x480 is a terrible non-standard resolution. | 11:28 |
| cakey | 320*240 > all | 11:28 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: iit really depends on whether you have the correct driver for your graphics card. default most X servers start using a vga driver if they dont detect your graphics card driver | 11:28 |
| artyg | No Xserver here, just the text term. | 11:29 |

| Yuji1 | This is going to sound stupid probably, but I used to change resolutions by display-config-gtk. Now how since it is removed? | 11:29 |
| artyg | Yuji: Try going into the xorg.conf? | 11:29 |
| c0re_ | i need help with screen.... how do i exit screen without kill screen? | 11:29 |
| Yuji1 | ...But I want the GUI. ;_; | 11:30 |
| Don123 | It shows unknown monitor but it worked fine with 7.10. When I click detect monitor it doesn't seem to do anything. | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | system -> perferrances -> screen res ? | 11:30 |
| Yuji1 | Hrm, can I force display-config-gtk to install? | 11:30 |
| Brucevdk | Dr_Willis: gnome-display-properties no good? | 11:30 |
| Brucevdk | ehh Yuji1 ^^^^ | 11:30 |
| Yuji1 | Oh wait. | 11:30 |
| Yuji1 | Thats the thingie. | 11:30 |
| Yuji1 | I thought it was display-config-gtk.. | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 11:31 |
| cakey | x11 | 11:31 |
| Yuji1 | ..Broken. | 11:31 |
| Yuji1 | Doesn't show correct monitor. | 11:31 |
| Reilithion | c0re_: Screen exits when the last window is closed. | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | testing out the usb Startup Disk thing now.. :) it seems to work well..but sadly i dont think one can install new software onit and have that rembered. :( | 11:31 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: dont know if this is what you want but look here --> http://paul.jurco.ro/2008/02/28/ubuntu-console-text-size/ | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Yuji1: using what video cards? | 11:32 |
| Yuji1 | Nvidia 6200 | 11:32 |
| Yuji1 | Monitor is only not known. | 11:32 |
| Yuji1 | Dell Trinitron 21 inch. | 11:32 |
| c0re_ | Reilithion, yea after exiting terminal i can screen -r to resume.. but i want to hide screen.. how do i do it? | 11:32 |
| * outbackwifi just installed cheese and checked that it was working fine (integrated webcam) | 11:32 | |
| Dr_Willis | Yuji1: ive always used the nvidia-settings tool. | 11:32 |
| carbonmonoxide | hi all , i just installed ubuntu and skype . I cannot get the audio and video to work :( | 11:32 |
| carbonmonoxide | the video is all green | 11:32 |
| carbonmonoxide | and the audio capture doesnt work | 11:33 |
| sorsis | why does my flash applications stop working randomly? app goes gray and if i'm lucky i get sounds. | 11:33 |
| artyg | Darn, the installation console has nothing in /mnt/. | 11:33 |
| artyg | Sorsis: Like an NES? | 11:33 |
| carbonmonoxide | i am running ubuntu 8.10 | 11:33 |
| Reilithion | c0re_: I really don't know. Have you read `man screen`? | 11:33 |
| c0re_ | Reilithion, nope | 11:33 |
| Reilithion | c0re_: Might be a good idea. | 11:33 |
| amdpox | c0re_, some would say rtfm | 11:34 |
| Reilithion | amdpox: Indeed. | 11:34 |
| Yuji1 | Thank you all. Finally, decent resolution. 1,600 X 1,200. | 11:34 |
| sorsis | artyg: I don't get what you mean. | 11:34 |
| outbackwifi | carbonmonoxide: have you selected the audio out and capture devices in skype options? | 11:34 |
| Reilithion | Whereas for my part, I would very much like for someone to show me a man page explaining why I cannot switch to a Virtual Terminal. | 11:34 |
| artyg | Sorsis: The NES had the amazing ability (thanks to the lockout hardware) of launching a blinking gray screen upon insertion of a cart and powering up. | 11:35 |
| amdpox | Reilithion, what do you get on ctrl+alt+1? | 11:35 |
| dijital1 | wow | 11:35 |

| ubottu | Package termcap--compat does not exist in intrepid | 11:42 |
| artyg | Hmm, Linux really doesn't like to be emulated in VPC2007... | 11:43 |
| Reilithion | amdpox: As it is, I have two lovely (separate) desktops on which I can run graphical programs. But to give up Virtual Consoles for that would be very nearly unacceptable. | 11:43 |
| OdnsRvns | use virtual box | 11:43 |
| outbackwifi | happydawg: it is generally CC (if you're trying to compile FOSS) | 11:43 |
| unohu | OdnsRvns: amdpox i am trying to get the souce of all the programs on the ubuntu cd. | 11:43 |
| artyg | I was looking for something that "takes advantage" of Hardware Virtualization assistance. | 11:43 |
| outbackwifi | happydawg: i.e export CC=gcc-x.y | 11:43 |
| amdpox | unohu, for what purpose? You can the source of individual applications from sourceforge amongst other places | 11:44 |
| happydawg | outbackwifi, there are a whole bunch of environment variables though, depending on if you're working with gcc, or g++, also preprocessors, etc. no script which sets this all correctly per installed gcc package? | 11:44 |
| OdnsRvns | artyg: vmware 6.5 does that | 11:44 |
| unohu | amdpox: no ubuntu will have patches to the upstream sources. | 11:44 |
| unohu | amdpox: i want also that | 11:44 |
| outbackwifi | happydawg: these can be set inside the Makefile | 11:44 |
| artyg | The short is that I'm too lazy to grab any other software X-D | 11:44 |
| OdnsRvns | artyg: lol | 11:45 |
| artyg | What exactly is High Resolution CPU mode? O.o | 11:45 |
| carbonmonoxide | outbackwifi: I checked alsamixer. The capture was at the lowest setting ( zero ) | 11:45 |
| happydawg | outbackwifi, okay, thanks! | 11:45 |
| outbackwifi | happydawg: also, the configure script tries to guess it for you | 11:45 |
| amdpox | unohu, I speak a lie, Ubuntu does have a source repository with their changes | 11:45 |

| artyg | And I'm too much of a tard to figure out mounting the USB stick. | 11:49 |

| outbackwifi | Brucevdk: me too | 11:50 |
| fez | i did a normal shut-down / reboot | 11:50 |

| fez | now compiz refuses to start | 11:50 |
| fez | why is that | 11:50 |
| unohu | amdpox: /ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/source/sources.bz just 493 kb | 11:50 |

| Brucevdk | artyg: where does it start looking for the cdrom drive? I've got a USB stick with Ibex generated through System -> Administration here. I can check if you want? | 11:51 |
| effie_jayx | it makes no sense at all | 11:51 |
| artyg | It looks for the cdrom in /dev/cdrom. | 11:51 |
| artyg | (Crazy, I know) | 11:51 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: which stage of installation | 11:51 |
| Brucevdk | artyg: actually, it was a USB stick generated through System -> Administration, worked fine without a CD | 11:51 |
| artyg | Yeah, I'm using a USB MSD generated with unetbootin. | 11:52 |

| Axz | Guys why is Ubuntu 8.10 way to laggy then 8.04 | 11:58 |
| Axz | how come? | 11:58 |
| OdnsRvns | i know it horrid | 11:58 |
| amdpox | Axz, it's faster here | 11:58 |
| roofel | I kinda got no lag Axz, I only when im installing updates, nothing more :P | 11:58 |
| artyg | Listening to 50's music and playing with Linux makes my face hurt. | 11:58 |
| Axz | well running on DualCore 64bit 5000+ with 5GB DDR2 | 11:58 |
| * outbackwifi has no probs either on a eeepc 1000H | 11:58 | |
| Axz | still laggy guys | 11:58 |
| amdpox | outbackwifi, 1000H-high-five :D | 11:59 |
| pindakaas117 | How can I tell Ubuntu that it can write in /cdrom? Because it's actually an USB pen | 11:59 |
| roofel | Btw guys, anyone got a clue on how to increase the size Ubuntu can use when installed with Wubi? :) | 11:59 |
| === cB_ is now known as CharelB | ||
| OdnsRvns | maybe its uss 5000 x2 cuz i am choppy as well | 11:59 |
| artyg | pindakaas117: I'm trying to figure that out at the moment, myself. | 11:59 |
| Dr_Willis | pindakaas117: you may want to mount that thing someplace other then /cdrom then. | 11:59 |
| Reilithion | So, does Open Source in general have an anthropomorphic personification? Or does it generally just borrow Tux the penguin? | 11:59 |
| artyg | Open source: GNU gnu? | 11:59 |
| Dr_Willis | I noticed wheni installed from USB PenDrive. the installer made a extra *(wrong)* entry in fstab for a cdrom drive on sda. I had to correct that. | 11:59 |
| amdpox | GNU is hardly open-source in general though | 12:00 |
| tyrian | is there a grub configure tool for gnome ? i need to mess with it | 12:00 |
| artyg | Well, maybe Torvald is a furry. | 12:00 |
| amdpox | there's BSD and a lot of other licenses out there | 12:00 |
| tyrian | get my dual-boot windows xp back :S | 12:00 |
| fosco__ | tyrian: startupmanager | 12:00 |
| tyrian | ok ty | 12:00 |
| Axz | No i mean is there way to make it faster because i have Rhythmbox running after openning FireFox Rhythmbox begins to lag for few secs | 12:00 |
| Axz | kinda weird on such fast machine | 12:00 |
| amdpox | Axz, very weird | 12:01 |
| roofel | Maybe its TO fast? :P | 12:01 |
| outbackwifi | Axz: i have currently ff, rhythmbox, thunderbird, and skype working great | 12:01 |
| amdpox | any other processes running? | 12:01 |
| Axz | outbackwifi, that cool but any idea whats going on here? | 12:01 |
| tyrian | fosco_ startupmanager too limited , need to change paths to windows | 12:01 |
| carbonmonoxide | outbackwifi: can you tell me where to look for skype video issues | 12:01 |
| artyg | Problem: Trying to mount my USB drive from /dev/ into /cdrom, using mount -t vfat /dev/cdroms/cdrom (after ln -s ../sdc cdrom in /dev/cdroms), it's saying "no such file or directory" | 12:01 |
| Axz | amdpox, not that i know off... | 12:01 |
| outbackwifi | Axz: if youre experiencing jitters in audio; its because of pulseaudio | 12:01 |
| fosco__ | tyrian: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst, unlimited :-) | 12:01 |
| * amdpox wishes the Ubuntu team would stop changing the audio stack | 12:02 | |
| tyrian | ty ty | 12:02 |
| amdpox | it was finally stable in 8.04 | 12:02 |
| carbonmonoxide | outbackwifi: i am looking at the skypevideo page in ubuntu hwlp website | 12:02 |
| outbackwifi | carbonmonoxide: sorry mate; can you try the skype forums out on skype | 12:02 |
| OdnsRvns | yea i might revert back to 8.04 | 12:02 |
| carbonmonoxide | outbackwifi: thanks :) | 12:02 |

| Axz | i'm really wana know whats making him so laggy | 12:02 |
| fosco__ | Axz: execute gstreamer-properties and make sure you are using alsa, not pulse | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | artyg: a pendrive would be like /dev/sda1 or /deb/sdb1 or similer named. device. | 12:03 |
| tyrian | oops | 12:03 |
| Don123 | Did the URL tell you anything about the monitor Outbackwifi? | 12:03 |
| znh | Hello, | 12:03 |
| Axz | fosco__, oke will try that | 12:03 |
| znh | I use rhtymbox to listen to songs on Jamendo.. It takes horribly long to load the catalog on this old laptop.. so I wondered if there are tweaks or alternatives available? | 12:03 |
| tyrian | that map stuff doesnt look ok ? | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | artyg: plug it in and check 'dmesg' command in terminal to see where its seen assigned to. | 12:03 |
| roofel | Question: Anyone know how to increase the virtual disk size on my Ubuntu? :) Currently using 5g but thinking of using about 15 instead :) | 12:03 |
| OdnsRvns | i am with axz its not only audio its everything | 12:03 |
| Axz | yeah | 12:04 |
| Axz | :/ | 12:04 |
| outbackwifi | roofel: do you mean swap size? | 12:04 |
| roofel | Got no clue, installed using Wubi :D | 12:04 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: missed it mate, you need to address it to me | 12:04 |
| Axz | hmmz fosco__ indded startup of Firefox increased and no lagg :/ | 12:04 |
| szaszka | Hi! I have a laptop with Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile Processor T2390, which version of ubuntu should I download, i386 or amd64? | 12:04 |
| Axz | how come? | 12:05 |
| nyp4life | quick question.. i deleted my bottom panel in ubuntu (hardy) and i want to add the section where it shows all your open apps to the top panel.. anybody know how? | 12:05 |
| sorsis | Why my flash apps go grey occasionally? | 12:05 |
| tyrian | any grub / dual-boot pro's here ? | 12:05 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/fb0a4b0b | 12:05 |
| OdnsRvns | amd64 | 12:05 |
| Dr_Willis | szaszka: you could use 32bit for the least amount of hassles.. Unles you got a lot of ram. | 12:05 |
| sorsis | tyrian: don't ask to ask. spit out your problem. | 12:05 |
| roofel | sorsis, my screen goes gray from time to time aswell, but that is because im updating applications and such :P | 12:05 |
| znh | szaszka, i386 will do fine, athough 64bit is faster.. it's a pain in the a | 12:05 |
| Axz | Amd64 works perfect on Ubuntu 8.10 | 12:05 |
| Axz | its only lag that bin fixd thanks to fosco__ now | 12:05 |
| fosco__ | nothing at all | 12:06 |
| OdnsRvns | how you fix it | 12:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive not had any issues so far on 8.10 64bit.. which suprised me. :) | 12:06 |
| Axz | i think its the pulse | 12:06 |
| OdnsRvns | ??? | 12:06 |
| pwk | hi, I installed 8.10 amd64 yeasterday, and I have the problem that my usb mouse and usb keyboard stop working when unplugging/replugging them a couple of times...only things that seems to help is to (a) reboot or (b) attach a different keyboard (to a different usb slot too) | 12:06 |
| szaszka | So amd64-bit will work just fine? | 12:06 |
| OdnsRvns | yea | 12:06 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: thats your video chip 23. | 12:06 |
| tyrian | problem: i installed entrepid (had hardy) just formatted the hardy partitions , and used them for entrepid but now my windows xp wont start from grub ?! | 12:06 |

| nyp4life | quick question.. i deleted my bottom panel in ubuntu (hardy) and i want to add the section where it shows all your open apps to the top panel.. anybody know how? | 12:06 |
| Axz | OdnsRvns, <fosco__> Axz: execute gstreamer-properties and make sure you are using alsa, not pulse | 12:06 |
| Axz | worked fine | 12:06 |
| Axz | try it buddy | 12:07 |
| outbackwifi | nyp4life: add the window list applet to your top panel | 12:07 |
| Axz | just set it from AutoDetect to ALSA | 12:07 |
| fosco__ | there are many things that can slow down ubuntu, pulse is one of them | 12:07 |
| OdnsRvns | where is gstreamer | 12:07 |
| Baversjo | outbackwifi: Did you know any way to write a message to the shell when a user is denied access in pam_limits? | 12:07 |
| Axz | OdnsRvns, juust Terminal > gstreamer-properties | 12:07 |
| vixey | hi | 12:08 |

| vixey | does anyone have a guide for getting emacs to support unicode? | 12:08 |
| pindakaas117 | artyg & Dr_willis: I found out that root CAN write in /cdrom, but once I tried to change it using sudo nautilus or sudo chmod 777 /cdrom nothing happens.. | 12:08 |
| OdnsRvns | lol im a bit new srry | 12:08 |

| artyg | I got my USB device to mount in /cdrom. | 12:08 |
| tyrian | oops | 12:08 |
| outbackwifi | Baversjo: if the user is at remote, then he hasnt got a shell yet (since he couldnt login) | 12:08 |
| amdpox | tyrian, this is not your xterm, also, /etc/fstab | 12:08 |
| pindakaas117 | can you write init as a normal user? | 12:09 |
| fosco__ | artyg: everytime or just now? | 12:09 |
| Baversjo | outbackwifi: n | 12:09 |
| Axz | fosco__, is this normal top - 13:09:04 up 23 min, 2 users, load average: 0.97, 0.49, 0.42 | 12:09 |
| Don123 | Outbacwifi: So what do I do to fix the problem? | 12:09 |
| tyrian | is my dualboot windows xp also mentioned in /etc/fstab | 12:09 |
| artyg | Well, it worked once O.o | 12:09 |
| tyrian | ? | 12:09 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: you need to check whether that s3 driver is the one your X server is using | 12:10 |
| fosco__ | Axz: yeah, quite normal | 12:10 |
| fosco__ | top - 13:10:34 up 15:14, 2 users, load average: 0.57, 0.56, 0.69 | 12:10 |
| fosco__ | mine | 12:10 |
| tyrian | can i just uninstall grub and reinstall LILO ? so it will detect my dualboot winXp correctly again ? | 12:10 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: Newbie here... how do I do that? | 12:10 |
| Baversjo | outbackwifi: No but I've seen Pam modules bypassing this and writing a message anyway. Or maybe I'm wrong? | 12:11 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: do this in a terminal sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-s3 | 12:11 |
| hellues | hey | 12:11 |
| hellues | how can i set opendns | 12:11 |

| tyrian | how do i see all hds by hdd0 sde1 etc ? | 12:12 |

| effie_jayx | guest-addtions being the tools for mount the vboxsf | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | effie_jayx: you install on the 'os inside the virtualbox system' yes... | 12:16 |
| spunk | effie_jayx: yes, if you are to use VB's concept of shared folders. | 12:16 |
| outbackwifi | Axz: can you check what glxinfo says? is it using software acceleration or hardware | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | They really should use a differnt term then 'share' :) | 12:16 |
| Axz | sure outbackwifi sec | 12:17 |
| effie_jayx | Dr_Willis, right... | 12:17 |
| pindakaas117 | how do I make sure that files such as /etc/fstab and sudoers don't return to default after reboot? | 12:17 |
| OdnsRvns | does anyone know if it is possible to use 2 keybourds and mice if i have a virtual os runnigg | 12:17 |

| Baversjo | outbackwifi: Do you know anyway to logout an old user if a new one with the same username tries to connect in PAM? | 12:19 |
| suskun0027 | slm | 12:19 |
| outbackwifi | pindakaas117: you need to create a persistent image | 12:19 |
| outbackwifi | Baversjo: cant say i do; havent played with PAM for a long time now | 12:20 |
| Baversjo | outbackwifi: k | 12:20 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: That didn't change anything. It still gives me the virtual screen when I put it into 1440x900. | 12:20 |
| suskun0027 | alooo | 12:20 |
| pindakaas117 | outbackwifi: and you happen to know how to do that? :) | 12:21 |
| outbackwifi | Baversjo: you should be looking to do this in ssh though and not PAM | 12:21 |
| artyg | Okay, I've got my USB stick mounted as /cdrom, but the Ubuntu installer keeps saying that it doesn't read. | 12:21 |

| wizkoder1 | I use kdesvn on kde. what to use with gnome and nautilus? | 12:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | wizkoder1: qsvn is much better | 12:22 |
| DIFH-iceroot | wizkoder1: but you have to build from surce | 12:22 |
| EugenMayer | iam trying to install the restricted ati drivers. but i get a dkms error :http://paste2.org/p/98969 | 12:22 |
| EugenMayer | any ideas? | 12:22 |
| amdpox | but you need a gui tool to get that source from svn | 12:22 |
| amdpox | and you die in a pool of vicious circleness. | 12:22 |
| wizkoder1 | does it integrate into nautilus? | 12:23 |
| outbackwifi | pindakaas117: this is for an older distro but i guess the process is the same http://www.pcmech.com/article/ubuntu-804-persistent-install-to-usb-stick/ | 12:23 |
| DIFH-iceroot | wizkoder1: no | 12:23 |
| DIFH-iceroot | wizkoder1: its a standalone svn client | 12:23 |
| pindakaas117 | outbackwifi: k thanks I will look into it | 12:23 |

| tony_ | I'm having a problem finding a package:libboost-date-time1.34.1. Any ideas? | 12:30 |
| amdpox | tony_, uh, it's in the repositories | 12:30 |
| fez | i installed apt-file, according to that , libpcre.so.0 is not part of libpcre3, libpcrecpp0, libpcre3-dev, libpcre++0, or libpcre++-dev | 12:30 |
| scensis | hey, anyone wanna help me with wine?:p | 12:31 |
| FreeFull | scensis: There is ##wine-hq | 12:31 |
| scensis | ah, thanks | 12:31 |
| fez | according to apt-file, libpcre.so.0 does not exist in *ANY* package, so why does compiz die on that file? | 12:31 |
| tony_ | amdpox, I have an old imac running Dapper. It cannt find it with apt-get | 12:31 |
| jrib | tony_: pastebin what happens when you try to install it after running 'sudo apt-get update'. Also pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:31 |
| amdpox | tony_, ah, right | 12:32 |

| amdpox | You may need to find sources and compile it, but dependency hell may ensue | 12:32 |
| amdpox | is upgrading feasible? | 12:32 |
| fez | well | 12:32 |
| fez | in any case | 12:32 |
| EugenMayer | afflux: what xorg version does intrepid has? | 12:32 |
| Bergcube | Evolution: I want to use Evolution to read USENET. I do not want it as my email client. Evolution insists on me setting up an email account. How can I bypass this? | 12:33 |
| fez | i did ln -s libpcre.so.3 libpcre.so.0, and that made compiz work | 12:33 |
| afflux | fez: 7.4 | 12:33 |
| jrib | tony_: that version does not exist in dapper. dapper has libboost-date-time1.33.1 | 12:33 |
| afflux | EugenMayer: ^^ | 12:33 |
| tony_ | I tried Hardy but it wont install. | 12:33 |
| fez | i would however like to know why compiz believes that libpcre.so.0 should exist | 12:33 |
| effie_jayx | vbox's way of sharing folders is painfully frustrating... is there an easier way to share files? | 12:33 |
| afflux | fez: in a normal isntall, it doesn't. | 12:33 |
| fez | afflux, thi is a normal install, ubuntu 8.04.1 | 12:33 |
| sabalord | fyi: this is not a online dating service | 12:33 |
| fez | why did compiz want that file | 12:34 |
| jrib | effie_jayx: you can just use samba | 12:34 |
| effie_jayx | jrib, I'll try that thanks | 12:34 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: Apparently I've forgotten the correct syntax. Can you give me the pastebin command on that? | 12:34 |

| Ohkie | hi im running ubuntu hardy..... what (if anything) do i need to do to upgrade to intrepid? How can i confirm I am running intrepid? | 12:35 |

| pfaqes | zemro^zakpeâkl | 12:35 |
| afflux | EugenMayer: at least one person over at #ubuntu-de got fglrx running without issues. I remember having the issues in the pre-release time on a different machine, I'm checking now. | 12:35 |
| pfaqes | porefo^z | 12:36 |
| jrib | tony_: you need to do some compiling then. Or try to sort out your install troubles with hardy | 12:36 |
| jrib | pfaqes: english please | 12:36 |
| amdpox | Ohkie, alt-f2 and then "gksudo update-manager --dist-upgrade" | 12:36 |
| outbackwifi | Ohkie: press alt-f2; in that dialog type update-manager -d and enter; after a couple of hours you may be in ibex | 12:36 |
| jrib | -d shouldn't be necessary after intrepid has been released | 12:36 |
| afflux | EugenMayer: note that you're not using the latest kernel sources. Can you please install fglrx-kernel-source 8.543-0ubuntu4? | 12:37 |
| artyg | Wow, making a USB installer for Ubuntu in Windows takes a longcat time. | 12:37 |
| EugenMayer | afflux: i use the latest ones ? | 12:37 |
| amdpox | longcat time is long | 12:37 |
| artyg | I know, looooooong. | 12:37 |
| EugenMayer | afflux: install fglrx-kernel-sources is what fails | 12:37 |
| artyg | It's unpacking all the files from the main cab. | 12:37 |
| Ohkie | outback: I've run that command and it says my system is up to date? | 12:38 |
| artyg | Probably to spite me. | 12:38 |
| tony_ | jrib, when I try to install hardy, I get through the install, it reboots then shuts off. You turn it back on..it gets thru yaboot... screen turns white then it shuts off. | 12:38 |
| Ohkie | amdpox: nothing seems to happen when i run that command? | 12:38 |
| afflux | EugenMayer: the logs you're showing show 8.542 instead of .543. Note that .542 has never been published with ubuntu. Sounds like you're using non-ubuntu packages. | 12:38 |
| afflux | EugenMayer: I'm off for lunch for half an hour or so. | 12:38 |
| outbackwifi | Ohkie: type lsb_release -a in a terminal; that should tell you if youre on ibex or hardy | 12:38 |
| jrib | tony_: but the desktop cd is loading fine? | 12:38 |
| Ohkie | still on 8.04 | 12:38 |
| tony_ | alternate install cd | 12:38 |
| Bloc | helllo | 12:38 |
| jrib | tony_: you ran "check the cd for defects"? | 12:39 |
| amdpox | Ohkie, that's because I screwed the syntax | 12:39 |
| jA_cOp | Have I come to the right place for some ubuntu installation help? If not, could someone point me in the right direction? :) | 12:39 |

| amdpox | Ohkie, "gksudo update-manager -- --dist-upgrade" | 12:39 |
| jA_cOp | nice | 12:39 |
| Bergcube | Evolution: I want to use Evolution to read USENET. I do not want it as my email client. Evolution insists on me setting up an email account. How can I bypass this? | 12:39 |
| tony_ | jrib, yes and re-burnt it several times. | 12:39 |
| outbackwifi | amdpox: even if you dont give a gksudo it prompts you later on | 12:39 |
| jrib | tony_: tried intrepid? | 12:40 |
| amdpox | outbackwifi, damn ubuntu has to be all user-friendly | 12:40 |
| Ohkie | amdpox: says my system is up to date, yet running lsb_release -a says im running release 8.04? | 12:40 |
| tony_ | jrib: Same thing | 12:40 |
| jA_cOp | Ok I am using UNetbootin from windows, and I got Ubuntu 8.10_live and am on the Live CD at the moment. The installer does not find any of my hard drive partitions, am I supposed to use gparted beforehand to free up space? | 12:40 |
| outbackwifi | amdpox: :) | 12:41 |
| jrib | tony_: you're using the community ppc port right? | 12:41 |
| Ohkie | amdpox: oh wait. i clicked check and it gave me an error after downloading some files: W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 12:41 |

| jA_cOp | fosco__: I happen to want to free up space on the drive with the /cdrom mountpoint on it, but it won't unmount due to being busy. Is this impossible while on the Live CD? I have really no other way to use gparted atm | 12:46 |

| jrib | tony_: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/intrepid/release/ | 12:46 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: your video driver is loading ok; its your monitor thats not letting you get into higher resolution | 12:46 |
| fosco__ | jA_cOp: there are many ways to get a partition unmounted, liveCD is a good way | 12:47 |
| PixelSmack | what package is the cleanup tool in intrepid? | 12:47 |

| nachi_ | once i have dns server ns1. and ns2. on my server i dont need to add to each domain somthing on bind section? just make it on apache config? | 12:47 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: 1440x900 is the monitor's native resolution. How do I fix it? | 12:48 |
| amdpox | Ohkie, system -> admin -> software sources -> updates tab -> release upgrade, what is selected there? | 12:48 |
| tony_ | jrib: I'll try that THANKS!! | 12:48 |
| jA_cOp | fosco__: I'm not actually using a physical CD, I'm using the UNetbootin tool to emulate it and let it boot the Live CD from my hard drive. So I'd have to free up space on a different drive than the Live CD is on? | 12:48 |
| jA_cOp | different parition* | 12:48 |

| outbackwifi | rkpisanu: whats a maniadrive | 12:56 |
| fosco__ | artyg: no | 12:56 |
| artyg | Curses, stupid generic Kernel drivers. | 12:56 |
| jrib | artyg: "regular debian drivers"? What's wrong with the drivers ubuntu provides? | 12:56 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: its not about debian or ubuntu; drivers are part of the kernel and should work anywhere | 12:56 |
| artyg | Because apparently Ubuntu is not chock-full of Realtek 8187 drivers. | 12:56 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: No clue on the h/v refresh rates. It is a relatively new monitor but I've moved and the manual is lost. I still don't understand why 7.10 worked fine with it and 8.04.1 doesn't. | 12:57 |
| rkpisanu | maniadrive is a game similar to track mania | 12:57 |
| rkpisanu | the issue is library | 12:57 |

| artyg | If you got a problem, we'll solve it, check out the beat while the DJ revolves it. | 12:58 |
| j2daosh | SSH doesn't seem to care though and thinks that someone is doing a man in the middle because the keys aren't matching | 12:58 |
| j2daosh | anyway i can turn off this "strict checking" of the RSA key? | 12:58 |
| werdna | yeah | 12:58 |
| werdna | but you should probably just delete the key from known_hosts | 12:59 |
| outbackwifi | j2daosh: thats because you're portforwarding; just go into the .known_hosts file in each box and delete the offending key | 12:59 |

| Iradieh | I need to put a setup up, where I want screen to start with screen -DRU command after boot there I want it to start some screens and applications for me. Like start screen 1, start irssi, screen 2 start rtorrent you get the idea. | 13:08 |
| mikethk | outbackwifi, how to add the device? | 13:08 |
| jA_cOp | artyg: UNetbootin lets you make a USB device bootable | 13:08 |
| mikethk | outbackwifi, im pefectly noob :) | 13:08 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: just follow the example that is commented out | 13:08 |
| Chousuke | Iradieh: you need the screen -m switch | 13:09 |
| artyg | Yeah, UNetbootin also doesn't take care of the small things that make the Ubuntu install possible from USB. | 13:09 |
| Iradieh | Chousuke: what does m do? | 13:09 |
| Chousuke | Iradieh: the screen man page will tell you more | 13:09 |
| Baversjo | outbackwifi: Hey again, I think that stdout is redirected to the sshd. In Pam I can enable/disable the module for displaying motd and when i disable it I don't get any motd when loggin into ssh anymore. So I think that if a module stdout something it will show up in my ssh-session :D So I ask agian, is there anyway to print the pam_limits error to the shell instead of outputing it to the log? :D | 13:09 |
| Iradieh | Chousuke: I try to read it, its long | 13:09 |
| Chousuke | Iradieh: use the search | 13:09 |
| jA_cOp | Yeah artyg, the only thing it seems really useful for at the moment is fixing the boot loader so you can load the Live CD from a hard drive | 13:09 |
| artyg | iman_: You might want to look up reasonably-priced FireGL's or Quadro's if you render a lot. | 13:10 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: add the devices by their name like /dev/sdb1 etc | 13:10 |
| mikethk | outbackwifi, but i dont know the name on the device | 13:10 |
| Iradieh | Chousuke: you mean -d -m like starts one, but doesnt attach? | 13:10 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: sudo fdisk -l or looking at dmesg should tell you | 13:10 |
| Chousuke | Iradieh: yeah | 13:11 |
| Yuji1 | How would one go about using a system pre-bias for tone and treble? | 13:11 |
| dbugger | I hope I dont have to reinstall ubuntu | 13:11 |
| outbackwifi | Baversjo: motd shows up *after* logging in i.e a tty has been assigned to the user not before | 13:12 |
| sken | does anybody know the default settings for skype | 13:12 |
| Yuji1 | Like, a control panel for treble/bass. | 13:12 |
| sken | i mean for audio | 13:12 |
| NBrepresent | hello, can someone please help me fix my desktop? for some reason it now appears to be my home folder. | 13:12 |
| mikethk | outbackwifi, I guees the name is /dev/sdb1 then.... Where to add? in terminal ? | 13:12 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: yes inside that file | 13:12 |
| Chousuke | Iradieh: basically, you'll want to write a screenrc with multiple "screen" commands in it to start multiple windows, then run screen -md -c customscreenrc in some startup script | 13:12 |
| technopagan | sken: I can tell you what works for me if that helps?! | 13:13 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/f2edc41e8 | 13:13 |
| Baversjo | outbackwifi: Ye, but the pam_limits module is also shown in the tty | 13:13 |
| Chousuke | Iradieh: http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/screen-3.9.4/html_chapter/screen_6.html | 13:13 |
| sken | ok tell me | 13:13 |
| |Dreams| | hw do i run a c program from the shell>? | 13:13 |
| technopagan | sken: | 13:13 |
| NBrepresent | i read about a hack here http://lifehacker.com/5067996/some-productive-ubuntu-kung-fu that does that, but i never tried it... just for some reason i turned on the comp this morning and everything in my home folder is on my desktop. Also, the places link in nautilus to the desktop actuallyi points to the home folder. | 13:13 |
| === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius | ||
| Yuji1 | Any one know of any control panel or applet or any thing that can change system-wide treble/bass? Ubuntu has...odd sound workings. | 13:13 |
| Chousuke | |Dreams|: if it's in path, just type its name and it'll be run. | 13:13 |
| jA_cOp | |Dreams|: If not, type the path and the name | 13:14 |
| mikethk | outbackwifi, after opening the gksu gedit /etc/pmount.allow i got this window.... I add it there? | 13:14 |
| technopagan | sken: I've set everything in Audio to "Pulse" and unchecked "Automatically configure audio" beneath | 13:14 |
| |Dreams| | so like just type abgx360.c | 13:14 |
| jrib | |Dreams|: first you compile the source code (gcc -Wall -o my_program my_program.c), then you can execute the resulting binary as usual (./my_program) | 13:14 |
| artyg | Yuji1: If you use ALSA, maybe http://alsa-eq-plugin.sourceforge.net ? | 13:14 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: sorry, i saw that file; you need to put in the values for your monitor in that Monitor section on line 36 | 13:14 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: yes | 13:14 |
| Chousuke | |Dreams|: no. that's not a C program :p | 13:14 |
| Yuji1 | oh thats right, EQ thats what I meant. | 13:14 |
| Yuji1 | And yeah ALSA. | 13:14 |
| Chousuke | |Dreams|: that's a C source file. you can't run them | 13:14 |
| technopagan | sken: Please make sure that your mic is ready to record in the Volume-settings | 13:14 |
| * Yuji1 checks it out. | 13:15 | |
| artyg | I just googled it, so don't expect much. | 13:15 |
| lyhana8 | Hi, why do my scim-panel looj ugly ? | 13:15 |
| jA_cOp | |Dreams|: You need to compile to an executable file first | 13:15 |
| Yuji1 | It'll help I bet. | 13:15 |
| rober1 | hello guys | 13:15 |
| sken | where are the volume settings? | 13:15 |

| RandomCake | Hi, I've got Ubuntu and Vista dual booting, I've just installed DSL and need to add it to Grub, it's on hda4, so what should I put into menu.lst? :S | 13:15 |
| technopagan | sken: I mean the volume setings of Ubuntu | 13:15 |
| |Dreams| | how do i do that | 13:15 |
| Chousuke | |Dreams|: often, compiling is as easy as ./configure && make && make install | 13:15 |
| Chousuke | |Dreams|: but not always | 13:15 |
| |Dreams| | ther is no configure or make | 13:15 |
| Kate_Mins | Hello , I need help please , i am trying to compile old package of NLP tool for my research , in the instructions : In order to compile on Unix, you should clean them of the "Line Feed" (^M) characters. You can do this automatically using the command unzip -aa , because its very old package (i think from 1998-9) i dont know if the unzip -aa its correct ? | 13:15 |
| lyhana8 | Hi, why do my only scim-panel (gtk) looj ugly ? | 13:16 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: Newbie here... how do I do that? | 13:16 |
| Chousuke | |Dreams|: in that case, you'll have to read any README or INSTALL files included with the source and figure out how to compile it. | 13:16 |
| sken | doesn't say here something about microphone | 13:16 |
| |Dreams| | there isnt any either haha | 13:16 |
| rober1 | can sobebody tell me if ubuntu 8.10 supports the atheros ar5008 xspan? | 13:16 |
| technopagan | sken: Right-click on the speaker-icon in your tray and choose the second possibility beneath "Mute" | 13:16 |
| mikethk | outbackwifi, possible you can tell me what to write from start to end... I just under the listed here, added /dev/dsb1 | 13:16 |
| Chousuke | |Dreams|: in that case, I think it's beyond your skills to compile it. | 13:16 |
| notrust_nopain | hello ? | 13:17 |
| artyg | And I shall now attempt to run an Ubuntu Intrepid installer from a USB drive. *Drumroll* | 13:17 |
| jA_cOp | |Dreams|: if it's a simple program, try just running it through a C compiler | 13:17 |
| notrust_nopain | can any one see me ? | 13:17 |
| Yuji1 | artyg: Good luck with it. | 13:17 |
| |Dreams| | good answer cheers for that Chousuke | 13:17 |

| jA_cOp | I don't know if Ubuntu comes with any compilers by default | 13:17 |

| jA_cOp | Chousuke: Ok, but I think I'll just get MinGW | 13:20 |
| eedd | Hi | 13:20 |

| artyg | Dear freakin' lord, stupid netbooks and their lack of CD drives. | 13:21 |
| jA_cOp | I am a Windows programmer, yes :P | 13:21 |
| sken | i don't have that one | 13:21 |
| Chousuke | eedd: apt provides stuff | 13:21 |
| w0ls0n | well I upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 I had 2 issues. One is it uninstalled vmware server and the other was it changed a drive letter of another drive that was installed. | 13:21 |
| jms32 | Can someone tell me soft for editing ISO files? | 13:21 |
| technopagan | sken: Try clicking the Settings-button below the slider and make a check at the line for Microphone | 13:21 |
| Chousuke | jA_cOp: well, mingw on ubuntu uses gcc :p | 13:21 |
| jA_cOp | Yeah Chousuke, I just remembered :D Kind of stupid of me | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | jms32, depenmds on what you want to do.. i recall 'kiso' not sure of any others | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | !info kiso | 13:21 |
| ubottu | kiso (source: kiso): program to create manipulate and extract CD Image. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.3-0ubuntu5 (intrepid), package size 347 kB, installed size 1052 kB | 13:21 |

| dr_willis | w0ls0n, drive 'letter' ? | 13:22 |
| sken | you mean the capture mux explain | 13:22 |
| eedd | aptitude search stuff does not apparently do it | 13:22 |
| jms32 | 28-dr_willis- I think that is what i need Thanks | 13:22 |
| w0ls0n | yea instead of hdb1 its now sdb1 | 13:22 |
| sken | doesn't say here anything about microphone | 13:22 |
| Pizarro | Please anyone with this issue or just want to give me a hand please? | 13:22 |
| === no is now known as Guest81454 | ||
| w0ls0n | drive I should have said | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | w0ls0n, thats not a letter.. thats the device name.. and the move from hdXX to sd## has been going on for some time now.. | 13:22 |
| Bodsda | eedd, your trying to use apt to search for something? | 13:22 |
| eedd | apt provides stuff : bash: apt: command not found | 13:22 |
| w0ls0n | I just upgraded last night :-) | 13:23 |
| Chousuke | eedd: use aptitude :P | 13:23 |
| Guest81454 | i love ubuntu user !!! :x | 13:23 |
| eedd | I am trying to see what is provides by what package | 13:23 |
| vililikku | Hi! Where can I download Ubuntu base image, without X and other default programs? | 13:23 |
| Chousuke | eedd: but the package manager is called APT | 13:23 |
| mikethk | outbackwifi, I used the terminal. | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | w0ls0n, theres some rewriting of the IDE code base that has cleaned things up.. so now most every ide drieve should be accessed as sd## | 13:23 |
| eedd | for instance, in CentOS you can do: yum provides unbuffer | 13:23 |
| technopagan | sken: Now I'm out of ideas ... If the system does not even offer you any microphone-settings I guess it does not recognize it | 13:23 |
| eedd | this shows that, expect provides the unbuffer command | 13:23 |
| w0ls0n | ok then. I was able to change the fstab without an issue | 13:23 |
| technopagan | sken: But that's just me guessing | 13:23 |
| Chousuke | eedd: ah like that | 13:23 |
| Chousuke | eedd: hmm | 13:23 |
| Frogzoo | eedd: expect is damn ugly, use perl | 13:24 |
| Chousuke | eedd: apt-file can search for files | 13:24 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: Can you give me a command for that or do I need to use a command line editor program? | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | w0ls0n, thats part of the reason to the move to 'UUID' in fstab.. then the /dev/XXX name wont matter | 13:24 |
| Guest81454 | abc i'm new at irc ~ i'm a guest huh ? | 13:24 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: does pmount /dev/sdb1 | 13:24 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:24 |
| sken | so can i put that? | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | <Guest81454> try the command /nick ILike_ThisNick | 13:24 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: does pmount /dev/sdb1 work? | 13:24 |
| Chousuke | eedd: also, by default the ubuntu bash will tell you the name of a package if you ttry to use a command that doesn't exist. | 13:24 |
| Chousuke | eedd: but I don't know how it does that. | 13:24 |
| eedd | the thing expect package should provide "unbuffer" command this is good for things like grepping the output of tail | 13:24 |
| eedd | unbuffer tail -f ~/error_log | grep -i stuff | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | Chousuke, uses the 'command not found package' :) i belive.. some sort of alias/setting calling an app. | 13:25 |
| Chousuke | yeah but what does it call :/ | 13:25 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: And change monitor to-- what was it-- 24 or 25? | 13:25 |

| artyg | Well, the installer shell doesn't use /media/ | 13:35 |
| bn43 | anyone running gnome-do? | 13:35 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: you need to find out whether the device name is correct; second is to remove the line from /etc/fstab and use pmount ; to automate it, the device is listed in /etc/pmount.allow | 13:35 |
| Guest77717 | me gnome | 13:35 |
| Guest77717 | dont know gnome-do | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | artyg, installer shell? | 13:36 |
| ziroday` | bn43: yes, whats wrong? | 13:36 |
| mopped | How can I check what version of ubuntu I have? :P | 13:36 |
| artyg | Yes, like if you boot into Ubuntu Intrepid Alt Installer and try to mount your USB drive as a CD-ROM drive just using the installer's shell. | 13:36 |
| Don123 | Outbackwifi: You are talking about the vertical and horizontal refresh values to put on line 36 right? What format do I use? A v and number then an h and number or is there a line there I can just change when I find the correct values? | 13:36 |
| ziroday` | mopped: lsb_release -a | 13:36 |
| Guest77717 | mopped that's really nice question :x | 13:36 |
| dr_willis | artyg, if you are manually mounting a device.. You could mount it wever you want. | 13:37 |
| mopped | thanks | 13:37 |
| Guest77717 | coool | 13:37 |
| artyg | But how do I access it after I mount it? Can't do it through /dev/. | 13:37 |
| dr_willis | artyg, you access the Mountpoint.. niot the /dev/entryname | 13:37 |
| artyg | Problem: There is no mountpoint. | 13:37 |
| dr_willis | artyg, mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 | 13:37 |
| dr_willis | artyg, then MAKE ONE.. its just a directory | 13:37 |
| outbackwifi | Don123: the format is speficied here -> http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html | 13:38 |
| artyg | Then it says "Cannot find (mount point) in /etc/fstab". | 13:38 |
| Iradieh | Is there way to start a screen at startup, with X ammount of windows each opening programs like irssi and rtorrent? | 13:38 |
| artyg | I know, I'm really retarded, but please do bear with me. | 13:38 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: you need to use the proper mount command | 13:38 |
| dr_willis | artyg, you may want to read up on/google 'mounting drives in linux' | 13:38 |
| dr_willis | artyg, mkdir /media/sda1 | 13:39 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: it is sudo mount /dev/devicename /mnt/mountpoint | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | artyg, mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 | 13:39 |
| Guest77717 | this is really really nice program with nice ppl :P | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | artyg, ls /media/sda1 0------ Ta Daa! | 13:39 |

| outbackwifi | Don123: the format for xorg.conf is here --> http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html | 13:40 |
| artyg | Sudo is not in the installer shell. In fact, very very few programs are here. | 13:40 |
| bn43 | ziroday`: I'm not planning on upgrading my lappy to intrepid yet - I've got her just so and tweaking just a bit :-) | 13:40 |
| Guest77717 | how do i find #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | artyg, you dont need to use sudo when in that shell. | 13:40 |
| ziroday` | bn43: okay. and what is exactly wrong? | 13:41 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: in the installer shell you already are root; if you see # you know you are | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | artyg, but in normal usseage you sould. | 13:41 |
| ziroday` | Guest35428: type in /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:41 |
| Guest77717 | thank you ziroday ~ | 13:41 |
| * dr_willis wonders why artyg is messing with the shell on the installer. | 13:41 | |
| Guest77717 | thank you all bye ~ | 13:41 |
| artyg | Okay, let's see if the installer wants to recognize it. | 13:41 |
| nekrojakub | Hi people! Is there a Wubi specific chat? | 13:41 |
| bn43 | ziroday`: nothing wrong - just want to know if anyone has upgraded to the latest gnome-do on hardy and how they went about it? | 13:41 |
| artyg | I'm messing with the shell because an install from the alt installer from a USB drive needs a "cd-rom" | 13:41 |
| bn43 | ziroday`: and problems etc? | 13:42 |
| === urkki is now known as Finnish | ||
| artyg | And the cloudbook is completely CD-ROM-less. | 13:42 |

| ziroday` | bn43: lemme dredge up the link for you | 13:43 |
| bn43 | ziroday`: any instructions on how to go about it? | 13:43 |

| nekrojakub | I'm trying to introduce someone to Ubuntu by using Wubi, but when he reboots after installing Wubi he can't access Ubuntu, the choose your system screen doesn't show and XP boots normally... | 13:43 |
| artyg | I would've installed from the normal Ubuntu live distro, but alas, no Via CX700 support. | 13:43 |

| snowrichard | hi just did an install of ubuntu desktop cd and firefox doesn't start as my normal user but does as root | 13:44 |
| outbackwifi | artyg: the way i did it with a eeeppc was to install standard distro and replace the kernel with one specific to the eeepc | 13:44 |
| nekrojakub | ziroday: It's empty | 13:45 |
| artyg | Of course, the EeePC actually has users, the Cloudbook and alternative installs don't go together. | 13:45 |
| ziroday` | bn43: you add the ppa to your /etc/apt/sources.list. Do you know how to do that? | 13:45 |
| outbackwifi | snowrichard: how did you install firefox? | 13:45 |
| snowrichard | it was installed by the cd | 13:45 |
| ziroday` | bn43: see http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_Do#8.04_.28Hardy.29 | 13:45 |
| outbackwifi | snowrichard: and how did you know that root can start it? | 13:46 |
| mikethk | outbackwifi, and now add it to gksu gedit /etc/pmount.allow? | 13:46 |
| snowrichard | I did sudo /bin/bash and ran firefox | 13:46 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: only the device name not the whole line from fstab | 13:46 |
| noelferreira | how can i check both L1 and L2 cache of my CPU? hardinfo only gives me information about a cache parameter without specify if it is L1 or L2. | 13:46 |
| outbackwifi | mikethk: before you do that do a pmount /dev/sdb1 and see if that works | 13:46 |
| bn43 | ziroday`: awesome thanks! | 13:46 |
| bn43 | ziroday`: google did not bring that one up | 13:47 |

| jvm_ | nwarrenfl, changes are pretty high this is caused by wrong modelines, if your monitor is connected via vga. | 14:06 |
| ktwo | i dont have it i just installed a clean ubuntu 8.10 and LAN does not work despite of that | 14:06 |

| outbackwifi | ktwo: most modern cards are autonegotiating types you dont actually need to set it | 14:16 |
| ktwo | eth0: 10Mbit, half-duplex, link ok | 14:16 |
| ktwo | BUT: still no connection | 14:16 |
| vocis | well did you check the cable then? | 14:16 |
| Myrstidal | jrib: I'm using a tutorialat http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180131, and I'm up to a part where I need to Debian Package a BIN file | 14:16 |
| vocis | maybe it's broken. | 14:16 |
| Peter_Swinkels1 | I did ask an actual question, just check above: Hello, I have a similair problem to the one discribed here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/43038 - unfortunately no clear solution is given, can any one help? | 14:16 |
| outbackwifi | ktwo: it may be something else; like you didnt get an ip; didnt set a route etc | 14:16 |
| ktwo | yes but in that case i need to: 100mbit does NOT work (even under Windows) only if i set it to 10Mbit | 14:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | jA_cOp: what do you mean what does it do?... it resizes the partitions on the drive. | 14:16 |
| tdawgedogg | hay does anyone know why 8.10 wont detect my raid array...it just shows 2 separate drives during installation | 14:16 |
| noelferreira | how can i check both L1 and L2 cache of my CPU? hardinfo only gives me information about a cache parameter without specify if it is L1 or L2. | 14:16 |
| jrib | Myrstidal: no, use the repositories | 14:17 |
| ktwo | its because of the cable length | 14:17 |
| ribas1 | 8.10 is quite fast ..however, after I installed xbuntu and the usual mods. firefox sometimes takes too loong to display the pages | 14:17 |
| vocis | ktwo, freaky :) | 14:17 |
| djk | outbackwifi: any thoughts> | 14:17 |
| jrib | Myrstidal: what java do you want to install? | 14:17 |
| bn43 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/69639/ | 14:17 |
| Myrstidal | jrib: So I opened up the terminal and used "fakeroot make-jpkg root/jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin", but it says that the BIN doesn't exist | 14:17 |
| jA_cOp | Yes IndyGunFreak, but what happens to the data on the partition I resize? | 14:17 |
| GoGi | Can I somehow turn off that I always get "The program xy is not installed, ..." when I type xy in the terminal | 14:17 |
| jrib | Myrstidal: why are you not listening? | 14:17 |
| jA_cOp | It is an NTFS partition | 14:17 |
| GoGi | A simple "xy: command not found" is sufficient | 14:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | GoGi: remove "command-not-found | 14:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | it will all be on the original partition, and the "new" partition will be blank. | 14:18 |
| Fermio91 | hi guy | 14:18 |
| DIFH-iceroot | GoGi: its a program which tells you what you have to install if a command is not fund | 14:18 |
| GoGi | DIFH-iceroot: from where? | 14:18 |
| sudobash | so I am polly about to update to IBEX.... Any Insane bugs? | 14:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | jA_cOp: *usually* it goes w/o a hitch, but if you have important data, its silly to do it w/o a backup | 14:18 |
| GoGi | DIFH-iceroot: I see | 14:18 |
| jrib | !notes > sudobash | 14:18 |
| ubottu | sudobash, please see my private message | 14:18 |
| DIFH-iceroot | GoGi: apt-get remove command-not-found | 14:18 |
| outbackwifi | djk: i just deleted the auto eth0 line and added a new one with static and it worked for me across reboots | 14:18 |
| jvargas_ | hi | 14:18 |
| jA_cOp | Well I moved all my important data to a flash drive, only lots of games left | 14:18 |
| Stalker72 | hey | 14:18 |
| jvargas_ | i think i did something wrong with my partition table | 14:19 |
| jA_cOp | So absolutely expendible | 14:19 |
| alex_ | has anyone experience with "Mainboard S-775 INTEL DX48BT2" on Ubuntu 8.10 ? | 14:19 |
| bennymack1 | If I cat out /etc/debian_version I get lenny/sid. I'm not sure how to translate this to a version number and I don't seem to have lsb_release | 14:19 |
| outbackwifi | !hcl | alex_ | 14:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | jA_cOp: ok,... how big is your current drive? | 14:19 |
| ubottu | alex_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 14:19 |
| jrib | !version | bennymack1 | 14:19 |
| ubottu | bennymack1: 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> » | 14:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | bennymack1: lenny == debian 5.0 | 14:19 |
| ribas1 | sudobash: none so far, just the annoyance of having windows open after logiin from the last session | 14:19 |
| GoGi | DIFH-iceroot: thank you. | 14:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | GoGi: no problem | 14:19 |
| GoGi | Is it possible to install mysql on the desktop version of ubuntu? | 14:19 |
| jA_cOp | IndyGunFreak the drive in question is already parted in two NFTS partitions by windows, each being 89gb | 14:19 |
| ribas1 | talking about xbuntu 8.10 | 14:19 |
| DIFH-iceroot | GoGi: apt-get install mysql | 14:19 |
| GoGi | It doesn't seem to be listed in the graphical package manager | 14:20 |
| Fermio91 | i would know what are the .dll files i have to add into "winecfg" libreries to install and use flash CS3 on my Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid (using wine) | 14:20 |
| Stalker72 | is there a big difference in features between normal releases and LTS releases? | 14:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | jA_cOp: ok.. and what are you wanting to do... shrink the second 89gig partition, for Linux? | 14:20 |
| jrib | bn43: pastebin: apt-cache policy libpango1.0-0 | 14:20 |
| GoGi | DIFH-iceroot: I see. | 14:20 |
| jA_cOp | Exactly IndyGunFreak, is this sensible? | 14:20 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: yes; the time for which support is available | 14:20 |
| DIFH-iceroot | GoGi: sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 14:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | jA_cOp: thats what i would do... | 14:20 |
| rodolfo | hi there guys | 14:20 |
| jrib | Myrstidal: did you find the java you wanted in the repositories? | 14:20 |
| ribas1 | sudobash: boot time has improved a lot | 14:20 |
| sudobash | hmmm well what about migrating docs and settings from 8.04 does it work well like Firefox favs? | 14:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | jA_cOp: i just can't stress to you enough, make sure anything i mportant is backed up | 14:20 |
| bn43 | jrib: do I put apt-cache policy libpango1.0-0 in command line? | 14:20 |
| bennymack1 | Thanks DIFH-iceroot, ubottu. I seem to have 7.10. That's pretty old huh? | 14:20 |
| jrib | bn43: yes | 14:21 |
| rodolfo | how do I format a pendrive using the terminal commands? | 14:21 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: Except long-term support, are there more differences? | 14:21 |
| outbackwifi | sudobash: if you upgrade distro everything works | 14:21 |
| bn43 | will do - be right back | 14:21 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: nope | 14:21 |
| DIFH-iceroot | bennymack1: its from october 2007 | 14:21 |
| gentle | hey I try to get a iMon VFD working on Ubuntu 8.10 with LCDproc, I got the lirc_imon module loaded and IR is working like a charm, but the /dev/lcd0 device does not exist and will not be created if I load the lirc_imon module with "modprobe lirc_imon is_lcd=1" | 14:21 |
| jA_cOp | IndyGunFreak: The resizer is kind of confusing to me, how do I do it? | 14:21 |
| sudobash | you mean sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 14:21 |
| DasEI | is there stilla way to have a topbar (os-x like in hardy) in ibex ? | 14:21 |
| sudobash | or from CD? | 14:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | jA_cOp: are you on the live CD now? | 14:21 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: There's a release every 6 months? | 14:21 |
| sudobash | cause someone said dist-upgrade caused crashes | 14:21 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: of course normal releases would be cutting-edge | 14:21 |
| jA_cOp | Yes IndyGunFreak, on the pidgin that comes with it | 14:21 |
| rodolfo | does anyone know hoe can I format a pendrive using the terminal commands....? | 14:22 |
| ribas1 | sudobash: export -import for firefox..migrating dos? dunno, have home in a separated partition so never have to migrate anything, sorry... | 14:22 |
| skyper | Hello guys..can anyone tell me the direction of the Ubuntu livecd updated ? looks like they call daily-image or something like that... | 14:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | jA_cOp: ok.. tyupe this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak" | 14:22 |
| ribas1 | docs | 14:22 |
| joaopinto | sudobash, you are expected to use update-manager, not dist-upgrade | 14:22 |
| Myrstidal | jrib: Sorry about that, let me rephrase that, I'm installing the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 10 BIN | 14:22 |
| outbackwifi | sudobash: someone was wrong. just alt-f2 and type update-manager -d in it and in the morning you have new distribution | 14:22 |
| DasEI | rodolfo:see man fdisk, but I'd prefer gparted | 14:22 |
| bn43 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/69643/ | 14:22 |
| joaopinto | outbackwifi, -d is not required and should not be used at this time | 14:22 |
| TheBlasphemer | How do I find out where a symlink points to ? | 14:22 |
| rodolfo | DasEI, gparted can do the job? | 14:22 |
| jrib | Myrstidal: ok. Throw the bin in the trash. Java is in the repositories. Just install the sun-java6-jre package | 14:23 |
| raheem | -d means download only, correct me if i am wrong | 14:23 |
| ribas1 | tao joao pinto? mataste a mosca! :) | 14:23 |
| bennymack1 | DIFH-iceroot: How could I go about finding what version of perl is packaged with 8.10? /me hopes 5.10.0 | 14:23 |
| outbackwifi | joaopinto: well it so happens it was required when i did it yesterday | 14:23 |
| IceWind | Hi! Is it possible to make grub always show the menu? Instead of the text with the countdown that chooses the default option? | 14:23 |
| joaopinto | Myrstidal, os the openjdk version | 14:23 |
| jrib | TheBlasphemer: readlink (or ls -l) | 14:23 |
| djk | outbackwifi: something odd going on. I will not stick for me. It is running under virtualbox but that should not make a difference | 14:23 |
| DIFH-iceroot | bennymack1: apt-cache search | 14:23 |
| DasEI | rodolfo:sure, make safe the drive is unmounted first | 14:23 |
| sharperguy | Anyone know why send/receive is grayed out with no explanation as to why on my evolution? | 14:23 |
| joaopinto | outbackwifi, is not required if you read the upgrade instructions | 14:23 |
| rodolfo | DasEI, UNmounted? | 14:24 |
| Peter_Swinkels1 | Alright, perhaps I should put my question another way: - Does any one know if and how access to NTFS partitions can be restricted to specific users and/or groups in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)? | 14:24 |
| joaopinto | specifically if you enable the non LTS upgrades | 14:24 |
| outbackwifi | joaopinto: ok anyways im not the one who wants it; please address it to the OP | 14:24 |
| snowrichard | got the firefox problem fixed with chown -r richard:richard .mozilla | 14:24 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: Do we know about any features that will be included in 9.04? | 14:24 |
| rodolfo | DasEI, but if it is UNmounted how can I format it? | 14:24 |
| snowrichard | -R rather | 14:24 |
| snowrichard | it was owned by root | 14:24 |
| jrib | Peter_Swinkels1: set the proper gid mount option in fstab | 14:24 |
| outbackwifi | djk: are you running livecd inside virtualbox | 14:24 |
| skyper | Can anyone tell if this is the last ubuntu daily-build image? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20081029.5/ | 14:25 |
| outbackwifi | snowrichard: thats great | 14:25 |
| DasEI | rodolfo:unmounted just means not assigned to a directory, though attached | 14:25 |
| yoyoned | !groups | 14:25 |
| jrib | skyper: intrepid is released. Use the stable intrepid release | 14:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about groups | 14:25 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: you could track the ubuntu website etc | 14:25 |
| joaopinto | skyper, it is preferable to just use the final image and performing the updates from it | 14:25 |
| sudobash | so ibex has a 3d menu sorta.... | 14:25 |
| bennymack1 | DIFH-iceroot: but on my 7.10 box apt-cache showpkg perl is telling me 5.8.8. Is that the same that I'd get if I were on 8.10 ? | 14:25 |
| rodolfo | DasEI and how can I make sure the pendrive is not assigned to a directory? | 14:26 |
| skyper | jrib: yeah im using intrepid..but i want i up-to-date image of ubuntu... | 14:26 |
| outbackwifi | bennymack1: yes thats the perl version | 14:26 |
| DIFH-iceroot | bennymack1: dont know but 8.10 should have a newer one | 14:26 |
| bn43 | jrib: output on http://paste.ubuntu.com/69643/ | 14:26 |
| sparrow-jack | is there any changes in 8.10 themes? | 14:26 |
| joaopinto | skyper, you just need to install the upgrades that you usually get notified about | 14:26 |
| skyper | joaopinto: isnt better to download and install the most up-to-date image of ubuntu? with all its actualizations | 14:26 |
| outbackwifi | bennymack1: ive got 5.10.0 | 14:26 |
| DIFH-iceroot | skyper: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 14:26 |
| DasEI | rodolfo:type mount in aterminal to see which partis/drives are actually mounted, in gparted right-click>unmount | 14:26 |
| joaopinto | skyper, no, getting the updates from the repository is the recommended procedure | 14:27 |
| snowrichard | anyway now i need to get my wireless card working | 14:27 |
| jrib | skyper: notice the date on that daily and see the date of release for intrepid | 14:27 |
| bennymack1 | outbackwifi: excellent! And you installed it with apt-get somehow? | 14:27 |
| snowrichard | I'll need ndiswrapper | 14:27 |
| skyper | DIFH-iceroot: i know..i just wanna know what is the most actualized one.. | 14:27 |
| outbackwifi | bennymack1: it came with the distribution upgrade | 14:27 |
| DIFH-iceroot | skyper: 8.10 with apt-get upgrade | 14:27 |
| joaopinto | skyper, the livecds may not be properly tested and they don't provide any advantage over the regular updates | 14:27 |
| Myrstidal | jrib: Thanks a lot! You've been a great help. | 14:27 |
| djk | outbackwifi: no it is a installed desktop version. Other changes stick | 14:28 |
| ribas1 | snowrichard: have you checked fw? | 14:28 |
| riegersn | Are there any bot scripts for XChat for managing an irc room? like the bot in this room?? | 14:28 |
| rodolfo | DasEI hang on.. | 14:28 |
| outbackwifi | djk: hmm weird | 14:28 |
| skyper | joaopinto: right? i mean, i want to install Ubuntu on 5 pcs.. so i dont wanna install it and download 69mb again..thats why i would download and install a daily-build image..with all its actualizations included | 14:28 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: How many people convert to Linux / Ubuntu each day? :P | 14:28 |
| bennymack1 | ahh. So, since this is a fresh box, should I just run apt-get upgrade? Or am I better off just having the host slap 8.10 on there for me? | 14:28 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: im only human ask the bot :) | 14:28 |
| heret1c | Has anyone had problems with mouseemu interfering with the workings of the keyboard? | 14:28 |
| djk | outbackwifi: agreed, I'll check later if you come up with any thoughts. Thank you. | 14:29 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: What bot? | 14:29 |
| [newnick] | Using a beta of intrepid I had a folder called private in my home folder, it was claimed to encrypt my data in that folder. Now however there is no such folder (after reinstalling with the non beta intrepid) | 14:29 |
| jrib | bn43: looks like an issue with the ppa, contact the author | 14:29 |
| skyper | joaopinto: hmm interesting..thx mate guess im gonna use the normal image | 14:29 |
| joaopinto | skyper, you can copy /var/cache/apt/archives with the updates packages | 14:29 |
| bn43 | jrib: thanks - will do | 14:29 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: the one that runs the show here | 14:29 |
| outbackwifi | !hi | Stalker72 | 14:29 |
| ubottu | Stalker72: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 14:29 |
| outbackwifi | him | 14:29 |
| skyper | joaopinto: yeah that to.. | 14:29 |
| bennymack1 | dam, apt-get upgrade and apt-get upgrade perl doesn't do anything . | 14:30 |
| sudobash | so what about compiz and restricted drivers from 8.04 to 8.10 do I have to reload these drivers? | 14:30 |
| Stalker72 | outbackwifi: Well... Can he tell me anything about that? :P | 14:30 |
| outbackwifi | Stalker72: dunno mate | 14:30 |
| [newnick] | Using a beta of intrepid I had a folder called private in my home folder, it was claimed to encrypt my data in that folder. Now however there is no such folder (after reinstalling with the non beta intrepid), how do I install such a private folder? | 14:30 |
| outbackwifi | bennymack1: are you on 8.04 or 8.10? | 14:30 |
| bn43 | hi I've got an opportunity to introduce linux to a user who is frustrated with the speed of xp with office2007 on his laptop | 14:30 |
| dr_willis | sudobash, on my system they got updated | 14:31 |
| sudobash | cool | 14:31 |
| riegersn | Are there any bot scripts for XChat for managing an irc room? Im looking for something like the Help bot in here | 14:31 |
| dr_willis | sudobash, assuming you dident use envyng or somting like that | 14:31 |
| rodolfo | DasEI OK, I just unmounted the pen drive using the unmount option | 14:31 |
| ikonia | !offtopic | riegersn | 14:31 |

| bn43 | I want to load linux but it needs to be lightning fast - he has a p4 with 256mb ram | 14:31 |
| sudobash | nope | 14:31 |
| pedro_ | hey | 14:31 |
| ikonia | bn43: he's lacking a little ram | 14:31 |
| goog | Hey People! How would you updated Ubuntu 7 from Gimp 2.2 to the latest version? | 14:31 |
| pedro_ | I'm having serious problems with nvidia driver | 14:31 |
| mikebeecham | Hi there...can anyone suggest a good software for joining to avi files together? | 14:31 |
| pedro_ | when I open it, I get a blank screen | 14:31 |
| rodolfo | DasEI and now it's just right click on it > format > fat32? | 14:31 |
| kanhiya78 | please help me solving this | 14:31 |
| bennymack1 | outbackwifi: 7.10 :) | 14:31 |
| sudobash | bn43 upgrade to 512 | 14:31 |
| bn43 | he only uses it for mail, opening office documents and internet | 14:31 |
| outbackwifi | bn43: go with DSL not ubuntu | 14:31 |
| jrib | Myrstidal: no problem! | 14:31 |
| ikonia | goog: you don't, it's not back ported | 14:31 |
| kanhiya78 | i have monitor resolution problems and i am not able to get higher resolution | 14:32 |
| sudobash | or use Xubuntu | 14:32 |
| ikonia | goog: you'd need to update ubuntu | 14:32 |
| bn43 | dsl? | 14:32 |
| pedro_ | and when I open Gnome, metacity doesn't run! | 14:32 |
| sudobash | Damn Small Linux | 14:32 |
| dr_willis | mikebeecham, depending on the codec and stuff you can often just 'cat' them together.. the mencoder faq mentions this topic.. and mencoder can do it. :) | 14:32 |
| DIFH-iceroot | bn43: xubuntu or dsl | 14:32 |
| DasEI | rodolfo:yup, and then apply button | 14:32 |
| heret1c | When starting up, the laptop touchpad doensn't work. Killing off mouseemu enables kbd, disables tpad. What's going on? | 14:32 |
| joaopinto | goog, you will need to compile from source, and still you may not have the required dev libraries so you are better by just upgrading your release | 14:32 |
| outbackwifi | bennymack1: the only way you can probably get a higher version of perl is to download and install with cpan | 14:32 |
| pedro_ | I'm getting really annoyed with this | 14:32 |
| sudobash | Damn Small is harder to learn the xubuntu | 14:32 |
| kanhiya78 | i have monitor resolution problems and i am not able to get higher resolution than 800x600 | 14:32 |
| sudobash | for new ppl to linux | 14:32 |
| bn43 | ah damn small | 14:32 |
| goog | joaopinto: apt-get distupgrade? | 14:32 |
| theuniverse | hello world. could someone please explain to me how to install ubuntu 8.10 iso on a usb key to make it bootable since i am using eee pc 901. | 14:32 |
| sudobash | damn small is super quick though | 14:33 |
| ribas1 | sudobash: DSL is debian based, terminal should be almost the same | 14:33 |
| bn43 | I just need to configure it for opening mail - thunderbird | 14:33 |
| DasEI | [newnick]:see http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 /rivate folder | 14:33 |

| blue112 | Hello everyone, I've experimenting problem in connecting to an ssh-1 serv... Can I get some help ? | 14:33 |
| jrib | [newnick]: you can run ecryptfs-setup-private from the ecryptfs-utils package | 14:33 |
| rodolfo | DasEI thank you it worked ;) | 14:33 |
| joaopinto | sudobash, there is nothing harder on using xubuntu, and please stop doing off-topic chat here, try on #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:33 |
| DIFH-iceroot | blue112: just post your error | 14:33 |
| ribas1 | sudobash: isn't knoppix debian based? | 14:33 |
| DasEI | rodolfo:oops, really ? np | 14:33 |
| [newnick] | thank you | 14:33 |
| outbackwifi | theuniverse: the installed version of 8.10 has an option under system-adminstration | 14:33 |
| dr_willis | mikebeecham, mencoder can do all sorts of things.. as i said it depends on the codec of the video also. | 14:33 |
| sudobash | you right lol | 14:33 |
| Myrstidal | jrib: Uh oh, this is a really newbish question, (I just started Ubuntu) but I got this "Package Configuration" window in my terminal | 14:33 |
| blue112 | DIFH-iceroot: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host | 14:33 |

I've been reading stuff online, but nothing that is really newb friendly. Like, I still haven't figured out if I need to statically assign ip addresses from my router. I did, just in case, but is it necessary? A | 15:26 |
| ikonia | Raiscan you may want to check this, but I'm reading through error logs now, and it appears to be a common issue with wine and certain setups | 15:27 |
| chrisorange2 | LiJ, i found a soloution for the problem | 15:27 |
| oOarthurOo | At this point I've got everything needed installed on both computers, and I've changed a few settings on my host computer according to some things I've read online, for instance, changing the port that it listens on. | 15:28 |
| Raiscan | ikonia: is there any solutions posted after said error logs? :) | 15:28 |

| oOarthurOo | Maybe I'll rephrase my story in the form of a question: To use ssh file sharing on a local network, is it important to statically assign ip addresses from the router? | 15:35 |
| jpablanche | woah there is a command Brucevdk how could i know the command? | 15:35 |
| w0ls0n | jin I downloaded the standard 32-bit and it works fine for me | 15:35 |
| jpablanche | sir | 15:35 |
| jin | w0ls0n, I think the error is related to kernel module compilation | 15:35 |
| ikonia | oOarthurOo: no | 15:35 |
| w0ls0n | jin it very well could be | 15:35 |

| prodigel | hi all. I've installed anjuta in ubuntu, never used it, made a test.c file and I can't link it. compile works, build is grayed. How can I set anjuta to be able to build files. My final purpose is to have an ide that can compile and run files/projects from menu. | 15:36 |
| DasEI | jin: I had no probs (hardy), build-essential installed before ? | 15:36 |
| cserzsike | Hi! I installed the latest ubuntu (8.10 amd64), but I can't find any skype package. I tried to download it from the skype.com, but it won't install, it says, that the package is a i386 version, but my system is amd64. The static version doesn't works too: If I try to start, it says: No such file or directory. Anyone succeded to run skype on the newest ubuntu? | 15:36 |
| jin | DasEI, they are installed | 15:36 |
| Brucevdk | jpablanche: you can find out the command by going Applications -> Internet -> Pidgin -> Right click -> Add this launcher to desktop -> Right click launcher on desktop -> Properties -> Basic tab -> Command | 15:36 |
| DasEI | jin: used the 64 linux version ? | 15:36 |
| jin | DasEI, this is a ubuntu amd64 system with the latest update by the way | 15:36 |
| Brucevdk | jpablanche: good point though..... | 15:36 |
| DasEI | jin: same here | 15:36 |
| jpablanche | ok thank you very much sir ill try it | 15:36 |
| oOarthurOo | thank you ikonia, but what if I also want to be able to access the machine remotely. Wouldn't a static ip address be important so that I could open a port on the router and forward it to one machine only? | 15:37 |
| jin | DasEI, what veriosn of vmware are you using, can you tell me the build #? | 15:37 |
| DasEI | jin: hardy or ibex ? | 15:37 |
| Brucevdk | jpablanche: actually even easier, you can drag the launcher to the session window | 15:37 |
| jin | DasEI, Ibex | 15:37 |
| ikonia | oOarthurOo: thats up to you if you make it static or dynamic, and also depends how your dns is setup | 15:37 |
| ValentineX | Brucevdk: you are not calling my name then why your name font is yellow? | 15:37 |
| DasEI | jin: hardy here, I'm on ibex right now, was newest (6.5 or sth) | 15:37 |
| Brucevdk | ValentineX: because I am the man! | 15:38 |
| ValentineX | Brucevdk: :D | 15:38 |
| jin | crap, mine is 6.01 | 15:38 |
| frybyeikon | ikonia: ok thanks... | 15:38 |
| iman_ | Brucedvk: thanks many! | 15:38 |
| oOarthurOo | ikonia: I don't even know what a dns is. I doubt I have one. Our ISP handles that I think. It assigns ip addresses to us here, but those ip addresses get renewed from time to time. | 15:38 |
| Raiscan | okay, how can I restart X via command line? | 15:38 |
| pronoy | ikonia: i have no idea what you mean.....total noob here | 15:38 |
| === frybyeikon is now known as frybye | ||
| DasEI | jin: 6.5. 118166 | 15:39 |
| jin | that's the problem maybe | 15:39 |
| Brucevdk | iman_: np | 15:39 |
| ikonia | oOarthurOo: then you can't use a static ip if your isp assigns it | 15:39 |
| ikonia | pronoy: do you know the name of the windows share you want to connecct to | 15:39 |
| w0ls0n | can someone help me with /etc/fstab? I can do mount /dev/sdb1 /backup but I am not 100% sure how to add the entry in /etc/fstab | 15:39 |
| Brucevdk | Raiscan: I guess $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart , would be one option | 15:39 |
| ikonia | w0ls0n: it looks exactly the same as the other lines - but with a different uuid and mount point | 15:39 |
| pronoy | ikonia: nope.....is there a way to find out a list ? | 15:40 |
| Raiscan | okay, thanks Brucevdk | 15:40 |
| ikonia | pronoy: ask your windows admin what the name of the share is you want | 15:40 |
| pronoy | ikonia: i have an account on it....does that help...i know the name of it.... | 15:40 |
| ikonia | pronoy: no | 15:41 |
| ikonia | pronoy: ask your windows admin the name of the share you want | 15:41 |
| n8tuser | w0ls0n-> /dev/sdb1 /backup ext3 defaults 0 2 something like this | 15:41 |
| pronoy | ikonia ok...in that case i'll get back to you later | 15:41 |
| oOarthurOo | Maybe I'm not making sense. I don't understand this very well. I have a router that three computers on the home network use to connect to the internet. The router gets it information from our ISP, which doesn't provide a static ip, but it is relatively stable, changing a few times a year, or after power failures, etc. One of the computer is a desktop, and the other two are laptops. I want to be able to connect to the desktop fr | 15:43 |
| NET||abuse | Hey guys. i was having issues with getting the mic to work on my eeepc on intrepid with skype, anyone have any tips on trouble shooting the mic input? I tried skype->options-> sound devices, I can hear the other person when i swiitch sound out to pulse, and the ringer works with pulse also, i try setting pulse for sound in, but no joy.. any trouble shooting tips would be great. | 15:43 |
| ikonia | oOarthurOo: so what's the problem then ? | 15:43 |
| NET||abuse | oOarthurOo: i think you clipped the end of your question there. | 15:44 |

| jaypro | good to know | 15:46 |
| oOarthurOo | ikonia: The problem is I can't find any newb friendly docs explaining this to me. For exampe, how do I connect to the desktop when at home? It was why I told the router to give each computer a static ip on the home network. Because I thought that was the "host name" | 15:46 |
| ikonia | oOarthurOo: as your not using dynamic dns - you won't be able to use hostnames | 15:46 |
| NET||abuse | jaypro: indeed :) there are some good file system layout guides and diagrams that explain the purpose of the various linux directory layouts | 15:46 |
| ikonia | oOarthurOo: you basiclly need to connect to your machines ip addresses | 15:46 |

| oOarthurOo | ikonia: ok... I know what those are, and how to find those out. n8tuser suggested that I could say enter into my hosts file something like 192.168.0.197 Desktop. In which case, I would then be able to say either connect to 192.168.0.197 or connect to Desktop. Both would work. Am I starting to understand this? | 15:51 |

| n8tuser | atarimoe_-> did you try to plug it in? and how are you trying to access it? from which side? | 16:04 |
| jokkaa | How can i install the "fluxbox-menu-editor"? | 16:04 |
| ichigo-soul-reap | Hello! I have a simple question about themes :) | 16:04 |
| dfgas | usb-creator just sits at starting up and doesn't do anything, what is wrong here? | 16:04 |
| Delvien | wiehan i think thats the nvidia bug | 16:04 |
| rand0mabo | oOarthurOo: hrmm.. well i have a win xp partition, and my ubuntu partition... each partition is roughly 40 gb (stupid choice when first stting it up).. so I have pretty much just media & stuff on my ubuntu partition... | 16:04 |
| wiehan | Delvien: is it being addressed? | 16:05 |
| Brucevdk | !ask | ichigo-soul-reap | 16:05 |
| ubottu | ichigo-soul-reap: 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. :-) | 16:05 |
| rand0mabo | oOarthurOo: I'm just gonna burn and backup all my data... but after that, if I just re-install ubuntu 8.04 from the CD i originally used, should that do it? | 16:05 |
| ichigo-soul-reap | I like dark desktop themes, but how come there are no icons in openoffice.org when I use one? | 16:05 |
| C0p3rn1c | any latitude D830 users in here ? | 16:05 |
| oOarthurOo | rand0mabo: Why not just copy the data over to your windows, then reinstall? | 16:05 |
| wiehan | rand0mabo: rather download intrepid instead? | 16:05 |
| mark488 | hi all... how can i unarchive .rar (& .r00 .r01 .r02...) files? Archive Manager says archive type not supported, and XArchive manager has the rar wrapper but "needed program not found" (no cmd line utils rar and unrar). I don't see rar&unrar included in any options in add/remove-software. Any help? | 16:05 |
| atarimoe_ | n8tuser: I tried plugging it into both sides... no effect on the laptop side (the client) and it shows up in the desktop (server) side, but won't let me access it. It gives an "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied." | 16:05 |

| Roofel | Is it possible by using Terminal to increase the size of the Ubuntu installation? (I used Wubi to install it and need to increase the size from 5gig to 15gig) :) | 16:06 |

| bazhang | admin_masu3701, vlc amongst others | 16:06 |
| n8tuser | atarimoe_-> is it mounted properly? | 16:06 |
| C0p3rn1c | mark488: use a difrent archiver | 16:06 |
| wiehan | admin_masu3701: Are you having difficulty playing files? Then perhaps you need the right codecs | 16:06 |
| atarimoe_ | n8tuser: it gives the error when it tries to mount | 16:07 |
| freeatlast | Newk, Thanks much - just came across this site after doing a google search. | 16:07 |
| mikethk | Im all new on Ubuntu................ I got problems with whatever i do???????? Will this keep on going? Is Ubuntu just a full time job? | 16:07 |
| Roofel | admin_masu3701: I believe VLC is possible to install on linux by native :) | 16:07 |
| n8tuser | atarimoe_-> you sudo to root and modify how it is mounted, look at the /etc/fstab on both sides | 16:07 |
| C0p3rn1c | mark488: I use File-roller 2.22.3 | 16:07 |
| oOarthurOo | rand0mabo: Too bad. In an ideal world you'd have all your data on a separate home partition, say 20GB, a windows partition of about 14 GB, and Ubuntu of about 5GB. Makes upgrades, reinstalls and sharing a snap. | 16:07 |
| admin_masu3701 | wiehan: i have a dvd i want to watch | 16:07 |
| digifor | If I do gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" and there are defective files on the cd will it try to use apt to replace them? | 16:08 |
| Roofel | admin_masu3701: Use VLC for it :) | 16:08 |
| jpablanche | how to install vlc ? | 16:08 |
| admin_masu3701 | ok | 16:08 |
| tamara | every time my my laptop resumes from suspend it asks for a password. how can i disable that? | 16:08 |
| rand0mabo | oOarthurOo: heh yeah... i figure i might try that this time around so this doesn't happen again.. but case in point, i just want to clarify that assuming I do backup all of the data, i can just re-install Hardy Heron via the cd I originally used, and it should pretty much just start completely fresh? | 16:08 |
| C0p3rn1c | Delvien: Does your standby work ? | 16:08 |
| Roofel | It supports most codecs and its downloadable directly to Linux :) | 16:08 |
| mark488 | C0p3rn1c: re: use diff archiver.... looks like most archivers on add/remove-software require/use cmd line archive utils | 16:08 |
| wiehan | admin_masu3701: just google how to add medibuntu repositories | 16:08 |
| Roofel | http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html | 16:09 |
| bazhang | no | 16:09 |
| Roofel | That is how to download VLC fo Ubuntu :) | 16:09 |
| wiehan | admin_masu3701: and then install libdvdcss | 16:09 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install vlc | 16:09 |
| bazhang | Roofel, no | 16:09 |
| oOarthurOo | rand0mabo: Absolutely. And all the updates that will be applied will be for Hardy. | 16:09 |
| C0p3rn1c | mark488: Not with file-roller | 16:09 |
| bazhang | it is in the repos Roofel | 16:09 |
| mikethk | jpablanche, go to terminal write sudo apt-get install vlc | 16:09 |
| Roofel | Well bazhang, I did it with that link and it worked kinda easy :P | 16:09 |
| digifor | jpablanche: or sudo aptitude install vlc | 16:09 |
| Roofel | You use the terminal to get it though | 16:09 |
| bazhang | Roofel, that breaks package management | 16:10 |
| jpablanche | after installing it where can i find it | 16:10 |
| wiehan | admin_masu3701: Nobody seems to bother that you actually want to watch a DVD, which is most likely encrypted, thus advice concerning installing VLC won't do a thing without the right codecs.. | 16:10 |
| mikethk | in application | 16:10 |
| Roofel | Well, on the start of the page it stands: "Open Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager). In Settings -> Repositories, make sure you have a "multiverse" repository activated." | 16:10 |
| bazhang | applications sound and videos jpablanche | 16:10 |
| atarimoe_ | n8tuser: I'm not seeing anything about it in /etc/fstab on the server side.... | 16:10 |
| Roofel | then you just use apt-get to get it installed | 16:10 |
| jpablanche | alright | 16:10 |
| mark488 | C0p3rn1c: mark488: Not with file-roller: will take a look for it in add/remove-sw. thx! | 16:11 |
| C0p3rn1c | Delvien: What version of ubuntu do you have ? | 16:11 |
| digifor | jpablanche: it will be in your applications sound and video | 16:11 |
| lvlefisto | is free the ubottu source code? | 16:11 |
| bazhang | lvlefisto, it is supybot | 16:11 |
| jpablanche | alright then i have version 7.10 | 16:11 |
| lvlefisto | bazhang: thanks | 16:11 |
| wiehan | why o why has no-one yet created a GTK+2 theme editor? | 16:11 |
| jpablanche | thank you people | 16:11 |
| C0p3rn1c | mark488: np, you can also type sudo apt-get install file-roller | 16:11 |
| mikethk | libdvdcss2 download that file and install it, then you will be able to watch DVD in Ubuntu's own player | 16:11 |
| C0p3rn1c | in the console | 16:11 |
| Delvien | C0p3rn1c: 8.10 | 16:12 |
| davidfx | is there a linux chrome yet | 16:12 |
| n8tuser | atarimoe_-> perhaps an entry in /etc/udev/rules.d you have to look around how a usb works in hotplug | 16:12 |

| Delvien | C0p3rn1c: one users good experience doest mean everyone else had that luck :) | 16:18 |
| C0p3rn1c | mikethk: EnvyNG is your last resort, it automatically installs your videocard drivers | 16:18 |
| C0p3rn1c | Delvien: yeah ok, as you can see I recommend it as a last resort =) | 16:18 |
| Delvien | C0p3rn1c: aye | 16:19 |
| mikethk | C0p3rn1c, im 100% sure i got a video driver from nvidia... So im not in need of a driver. maybe a new driver? will envyNG find new driver maybe? | 16:19 |
| C0p3rn1c | mikethk: you can also download and install the drivers from the nvidia site | 16:19 |
| alessandro_ | ' | 16:19 |
| C0p3rn1c | mikethk: yes it will find a new one, but it's better to install a beta driver from the nvidia site | 16:20 |

| Delvien | C0p3rn1c: 173 is stable 177+ is not | 16:21 |
| C0p3rn1c | Delvien: in my expirience the unstable ones work better then the stable =) | 16:21 |
| eldiable2005 | salut | 16:21 |
| eldiable2005 | hi | 16:21 |
| vasser | i have installed ubuntu (8.10) on a seperate partition (/dev/sdd3) and pointed it to install grub on /dev/sdd, i have tried getting the /dev/sdd mbr and use it, but it did not work (also for /dev/sdd3) | 16:22 |
| Delvien | C0p3rn1c: unstable has bugs that you may not have noticed or were lucky. Again one users exp :) | 16:22 |
| vasser | when i used the /dev/sdd mbr, all i got when booting was "GRUB " | 16:22 |
| wos | could anyone tell me how much harddrive space you should devote to swap as a percentage? | 16:23 |
| abizmol | Having a problem, whenever I modprobe tun, no devices are being created | 16:23 |
| vasser | what is the corrent command for outputting the mbr to a file ? | 16:23 |
| mark488 | C0p3rn1c: looks like ArchiveManager is built on file-roller, yet ArchiveManager says "type not supported". Ran update manager, in case my ArchiveManager/file-roller is too old. Update didn't work. This is an old installation... How recent is rar? | 16:23 |
| C0p3rn1c | mikethk: ok yeah listen to Delvien, use the stable ones | 16:23 |
| wos | !swap | 16:23 |
| jvm_ | hi. i use advanced desktop effects with 8.10, and for some reason, it loves to move my mouse pointer around. how can i deactivate this? | 16:23 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 16:23 |
| abizmol | Having a problem, whenever I modprobe tun, no devices are being created | 16:23 |

| soho | I upgraded from Hardy Hero to Ibex, but when i boot my computer. It still has the old kernel to load | 16:30 |

| pranith | and run ubuntu in virtualbox.. :( | 16:35 |
| Brucevdk | pranith: shouldn't that have been resolved in Ibex? I used to use the hdparm -B 254 fix (hdd-ugly.sh), which worked fine.. no overheating | 16:35 |
| metbsd | lucky you, you don't want to run ubuntu, and run windows in virtualbox in it | 16:36 |
| C0p3rn1c | pranith: why don't you use ubuntu as your main os ? | 16:36 |

| pranith | Brucevdk, 254 doesnt work for me.. 255 does.. which never parks the head.. and the harddrive always keeps spinning and hence overheats | 16:36 |

| pranith | sudobash, atleast vista doesnt kill my laptop | 16:37 |
| C0p3rn1c | pranith: Brucevdk seems to have a solution for that | 16:37 |

| pranith | C0p3rn1c, already did :( | 16:39 |
| pranith | only thing which works is hdparm 255 | 16:39 |
| sudobash | what do you mean it doesn't last long? it last long if your not a newb and play with things you don't know anything about | 16:39 |
| Brucevdk | martinmunoz: one is installed by default, the other can be installed using $ sudo apt-get install sensors-applet | 16:39 |

| Brucevdk | pranith: you should try Ibex, as I believe it has been resolved | 16:45 |
| sudobash | update-manager -d | 16:45 |
| pranith | Brucevdk, cant spend another 3 days installing all the stuff.. i prefer lts :( | 16:46 |
| pranith | they should release the fix | 16:46 |

| knoppix | if you reinstall ubuntu from CD, will it keep your home dir intact? | 16:47 |
| metbsd | is there a software for me to use microphone and camera to do web conference with my clients on msn? | 16:47 |
| arrrghhh | i upgraded my server and desktop in that fashion, flawlessly. the new x.org and nvidia drivers on the other hand... | 16:47 |
| knoppix | metbsd, let me know if there is | 16:47 |
| pangloss | knoppix: not unless you have a seperate partition with your home dir and you tell it not to touch that dir | 16:47 |
| sudobash | i just did update-manager -d | 16:47 |
| DJones | knoppix: It depends how you originally installed, if you created a seperate home partition, you can specify to use that again without formatting it | 16:47 |
| sudobash | and it worked well | 16:47 |
| metbsd | knoppix, you did that before? | 16:48 |
| arrrghhh | knoppix, yes you must have it on a separate partition and not format that partition in order to preserve your /home. | 16:48 |
| knoppix | metbsd no, but I'm interested | 16:48 |
| joaopinto | pangloss, knoppix , actually 8.10 does support installing into a single partition without formatting | 16:48 |
| arrrghhh | sudobash, update-manager -d works, but i've found do-release-upgrade is more consistent. | 16:48 |
| sudobash | cool | 16:48 |
| knoppix | 8.10 is where you get a black splash startup screen? | 16:48 |
| pangloss | joaopinto: hmmm, ill have to check the release notes for that | 16:48 |

| arrrghhh | metbsd, never needed to do that before, but does skype achieve that? | 16:49 |
| knoppix | arrrghhh, so I mkdir a directory mv all my home contents to it then, that should work or is there a more elegant method? | 16:50 |

| mrudul | how do i remove that cached copy? | 16:51 |
| arrrghhh | knoppix, when you format your disks initially you actually make a separate partition for /home... | 16:52 |

| szx0 | How do I execute a script as sudo? i.e., $ sudo . ./myscript.sh does not work | 16:52 |
| arrrghhh | knoppix, then when you reinstall linux you tell it to wipe your / but not your /home - then your /home is preserved. doesn't work if / and /home are on the same partition. you can even have /home on a separate drive if you want. | 16:52 |

| DIFH-iceroot | songbird: a tool for cutting the firmware from a wifi-driver | 17:04 |
| pangloss | songbird: fw-cutter is the program to cut the firmware for your card | 17:04 |
| bazhang | knoppix, you can read that !home link on how to get a separate home | 17:04 |
| arrrghhh | knoppix, yes, there's a new thing with 8.10 where you can choose to preserve your home. we were talking about that like 15 mins ago. | 17:04 |

| ubottu | Lrevo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 17:05 |
| songbird | pangloss, what does thar mean "to cut the firmware"? | 17:05 |
| joaopinto | knoppix, and let me repeat, if you care about your data you should backup, there is a lot others things that can make you lose your data, besides formatting | 17:05 |
| Lrevo | thanks :) | 17:05 |
| knoppix | btw, all your prefs from browsers and inboxes from mail clients are all somehow saved into your home dir? | 17:06 |
| DarkKnight | hi | 17:06 |

| ubottu | songbird: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 17:06 |
| Lrevo | pangloss: can I ask a question? | 17:06 |
| pangloss | !ask | Lrevo | 17:06 |
| ubottu | Lrevo: 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. :-) | 17:06 |
| joaopinto | knoppix, if you run all your apps with a regular user, the data is alls kept on their respective home dir | 17:06 |

| ubottu | DaveCave, please see my private message | 17:13 |
| pangloss | Lrevo: use gparted and format your windows partition and then expand your ubuntu partition to the size of the whole disk | 17:13 |
| vixey | is there a bug where ubuntu doesn't wake from sleep? | 17:13 |
| pangloss | !gparted | Lrevo | 17:14 |
| ubottu | Lrevo: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 17:14 |
| Lrevo | pangloss: thanks a lot | 17:14 |
| DaveCave | !best | 17:14 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:14 |

| Dave_ | 8.04, looking for a command called "startproc" .. appears to exist in Fedora/Redhat, need it for a Shoutcast startup script.. no can find via apt-get | 17:14 |
| freeatlast | joapintinto: It say's it's for Intrepid Ibex - I did not know if it would install ok on Hardy Heron 8.04 ? | 17:14 |
| joaopinto | vixey, you mean resuming from suspend ? There are know problems with suspend/resume with some hardware, you will need to search on launchpad | 17:14 |
| vixey | so I guess the best thing is to just make it not go into suspend | 17:15 |
| joaopinto | freeatlast, oh you are using hardy, I believe the repository provides a section for hardy, it should work, you just need to replace intrepid with hardy on the repository lines | 17:15 |
| knoppix | what does this command do? find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null --sparse -pvd /new/ | 17:15 |
| joaopinto | vixey, :\ | 17:15 |
| joaopinto | knoppix, it copies files from the current dir to /new | 17:15 |

| DIFH-iceroot | linkmaster03: /etc/init.d/alsa restart i think | 17:16 |
| joaopinto | knoppix, because cp * does not handle symbolic links | 17:17 |
| linkmaster03 | DIFH-iceroot: bash: /etc/init.d/alsa: No such file or directory | 17:17 |
| linkmaster03 | DIFH-iceroot: nevermind i found it, it's alsa-utils | 17:17 |
| DIFH-iceroot | linkmaster03: just use tab for something like thart | 17:17 |
| pangloss | BrickHaus: you dont see the kernel module in there? | 17:17 |
| shiki9 | is there any app in ubuntu that can open microsoft project files ? | 17:18 |

| BrickHaus | pangloss: Oh.. that's what it is. A whole new kernel? | 17:18 |
| joaopinto | shiki9, don't think so | 17:18 |
| shiki9 | ok | 17:18 |

| etronik | Ubuntu 8.10 complains about Realtek 8139cp driver (eth), suggests using 8139too, how and where do I change this setting ? TIA ! | 17:33 |
| matthias_N | okey, let me try on that example, i assume that i can use the same driver like in hardy as in 8.10 or am i wrong ... | 17:33 |
| billybigrigger | titon, make a script and put it in your nautilus scripts | 17:33 |
| pangloss | matthias_N: driver should be the same | 17:33 |
| bazhang | Pizarro, also check ubuntuforums instead of asking here every two minutes | 17:34 |
| titon | ahhh i had it going in xubuntu was so easy to fix through the menus | 17:34 |
| BrickHaus | pangloss: dmesg shows these two lines that tell me that there's a bug in the sis900 module/driver and I think is why Ubuntu never gives me and actual Eth interface setting. " sis900 0000:03:07.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18" then "0000:03:07.0: No MII transceivers found!" then "0000:03:07.0: Error probing MII device." | 17:34 |

| BrickHaus | pangloss: I'll read through that post you sent first. Thanks. Was gonna try the back ports thing before filing a bug. But I don't see a package in backports that corresponds to Eth modules? | 17:36 |

| mikebeecham | hi there...someone suggested that I backup my xorg.conf file. Should I...and why? | 17:36 |
| pangloss | BrickHaus: o well, it worked for someone with an atheros card, thought it might work for you | 17:36 |
| magcius | mikebeecham, you should back it up because it is a vital configuration file that can break your installation | 17:36 |

| mikebeecham | pangloss: how would I go about doing that? | 17:37 |
| BrickHaus | pangloss: Ok.. My I'll look into it. According the backports docs I should be able to install a single pkg. But looking at the ones available here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/ I don't see any package that pertains to Networking Eth interfaces?? | 17:37 |

Is there any way to get around this? would unplugging all HDDs | 17:48 |

| magcius | Svenstar0, EXE is the Portable Executable format. It must be running WINE then. | 17:56 |
| magcius | u hoh | 17:57 |
| titon | unrar p -inul %d/%f | mplayer - shouldnt that work in gnome acctions? | 17:57 |
| Svenstar0 | magcius, not necessarily. There are some applications that are linux and windows binary at once but they carry a .exe extension. No Wine going on. Not being a smartass, just saying :) | 17:57 |
| oorjha | ActionParsnip, Is there a GUI or a command line for creating a virtual machine ? | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Le-Chuck_ITA: its a big buggy in intrepid | 17:57 |
| magcius | Svenstar0, there is no such thing as a Linux and Windows binary in one... | 17:58 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | ActionParsnip: what, the edimax? | 17:58 |
| Kolie | Alright fixed my problem. I removed all the /update/alsa lines for modules.dep | 17:58 |
| magcius | Svenstar0, ELF format vs PE format | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | oorjha: ive not used qemu, ive used virtual box and vmware | 17:58 |
| jobe | actionparsnip: yes I am using sata. bah. I think i'll have to disconnect the others like i originally suggested. Just to clarify - I have two HDDs of relevance here, one ubuntu, one blank awaiting XP. XP wont let me install on the blank one until I make space on the Ubuntu one for 'startup files'. So you are saying that If I just leave some unallocated space on the ubuntu HDD, say, between partitions, then XP will be happy enough to install its startup files | 17:58 |
| jobe | there? | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | magcius: if its a driver it can be extracted with cabextract ;) | 17:58 |
| Svenstar0 | magcius, magic then :) | 17:58 |
| darkteckno | any irc help site you can recommend? | 17:58 |
| === Svenstar0 is now known as Svenstaro | ||
| magcius | darkteckno, always google questions first | 17:59 |
| baastrup | hey there, im trying to make a ssh vpn connection with the ssh -w 0:0 but it dos't make the tun0 devices, can anyone help? | 17:59 |
| vadim | Hello, I've been having some trouble with compiz and in #compiz-fusion they suggested trying intrepid-proposed. That seems to have broken things even worse, so I removed the source. Any way I can rollback to the stable versions of everything that got upgraded to a -proposed version? | 17:59 |
| oorjha | ActionParsnip, Yeah, even I have used VMware and virtualbox. Just that tasksel had a virtual machine I thought I would give it a shot | 17:59 |
| magcius | vadim, what distro are you running currently? | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | jobe: xp doesnt have sata drivers so they need providing at install and ONLY via floppy, you can use software to put the sata driver onto the xp cd so a FDD is not needed | 17:59 |
| vadim | magcius: intrepid | 17:59 |
| darkteckno | with no desk top | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | oorjha: ive not used it man, sorry. | 17:59 |
| djhash | hey.. is there a way to load gdm on lets say.. "ctrl+clt+f7" (the normal).. and then load another one on "ctrl+alt+f6" (for example).. and have the F6 auto login a user while the other (F7) be a normal login screen where you choose your sessions etc... | 18:00 |
| magcius | vadim, you should be able to remove the proposed version | 18:00 |
| magcius | vadim, you can also consider removing compiz completely | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | oorjha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo | 18:00 |
| gmcinnes | anyone konw how to get a usb drive to mount automatically at boot? | 18:00 |
| aoupi | djhash: yes it's possible, sorry I don't know more than that :p | 18:00 |
| gmcinnes | doesn't seem to work in FF | 18:00 |
| vadim | magcius: well, adding proposed upgraded about 20 packages maybe. Can I do something to leave everything at the version it was before? | 18:00 |
| jobe | actionparsnip: yes the drivers are preloaded, along with alot of other stuff. the version of XP im using is a reputable souped up version. I dont think that missing sata drivers are the issue | 18:00 |
| JoeDaMac | Since while Ubuntu is booting, and if I'm unable to see any video, is there someway I can blindly tell it to try a different resolution? | 18:00 |
| magcius | djhash, you can... but it requires more than one x server running | 18:00 |
| etronik | man oh man, despite the evolutions... this remains as too much trouble to get working system,,, | 18:00 |
| timreichhart | hey guys | 18:01 |
| aoupi | djhash: try searching for multiple x servers ubuntu | 18:01 |
| vadim | magcius: just removing proposed doesn't have any effect, dist-upgrade doesn't offer installing anything | 18:01 |
| jobe | timreichhart: hi | 18:01 |
| timreichhart | is anybody in here running a fax server | 18:01 |
| magcius | vadim, autoremove all packages not needed anymore? | 18:01 |
| djhash | magicus: aoupi: ok.. multiple x-servers.. thanks guys | 18:01 |
| magcius | djak_, it's not going to be easy... | 18:01 |
| magcius | whoops | 18:02 |
| RobertTables | is it posssible to get a hardy machine to be part of a windows workgroup? | 18:02 |
| etronik | timreichhart, I did once... | 18:02 |
| magcius | djhash, it's not going to be easy | 18:02 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | ActionParsnip: do you own an edimax card? do you expect bugs to be solved soon, how does the situation look like to you? In any case does it work in hardy' | 18:02 |
| magcius | RobertTables, a SAMBA server works wonders | 18:02 |
| oorjha | ActionParsnip, Oh no, I do not want to all those stuff.. I stick to VirtualBox.. Thanks anyway | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Le-Chuck_ITA: not sure, hunt round, you can always use ndiswrapper til it gets sorted | 18:02 |
| vadim | magcius: what unneeded packages? It upgraded the nvidia driver for instance, it's needed. What I want is to get every package to the point before I upgraded it to a proposed version | 18:02 |
| zacharym | RobertTables: if you're using GNOME and have samba installed it's easy to setup shares | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | oorjha: its not hard from what ive read | 18:02 |
| pepperjack | anyone else seeing really bad stutter in video playback in hardy and above? im seeing in mplayer using xv and vlc. i810 driver | 18:03 |
| JoeDaMac | so, I see I can do $ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 to change resolutions from the command line, but, what do I do to get a command prompt while ubuntu is booting/has booted? | 18:03 |
| oorjha | ActionParsnip, OK will give a try | 18:03 |
| JoeDaMac | keep In mind i can't see anything | 18:03 |
| magcius | vadim, upgrading just installs a different package | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zacharym: its easy in any system with /etc/samba/smb.conf | 18:03 |
| RobertTables | zacharym, will this enable me to refer to the ubuntu box as its own hostname? | 18:03 |
| JoeDaMac | esc? `? | 18:03 |
| jobe | actionparsnip: if i remove all the other drives then do you think XP will install ok? I mean, It cant demand to make space on drives that dont exist, presumably it will just install its stinking boot records onto its own HDD, which will then be ignored as the bios has another 1st boot device set (the HDDS which I will replace after XP has installed) | 18:03 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | ActionParsnip: ok but why do you say I can use ndiswrapper, do you own one? E.g. I am not able to use ndiswrapper for my iwl3945 (or else I would be doing that now, but it just does not work so I don't trust ndiswrapper too much!) | 18:03 |
| RobertTables | instead of just ip? | 18:03 |
| vadim | magcius: Or, to put it another way, I'm looking for an operation that will install whatever's current in the package sources, even if the system has something newer | 18:03 |
| zacharym | ActionParsnip: I know, I just figured most would rather use the GNOME setup utils | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jobe: yeah should be fine | 18:03 |
| zacharym | ActionParsnip: since doing anything different would make using Ubuntu moot | 18:03 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | Guys do you have an advice different from edimax for a wifi usb dongle for my beloved ubuntu? | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | zacharym: ive shown tonnes of users my smb.conf and they switched to editting the smb.conf file | 18:04 |
| jobe | actionparsnip: ok, ill give it a go. thanks a lot :) | 18:04 |
| zamba | where can i find the cookies.txt file in firefox? | 18:04 |
| miaow- | hi. how do i install kernel includes? | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Le-Chuck_ITA: it doesnt matter of the brand, only whats under the hood | 18:04 |
| magcius | vadim, is intreprid-proposed in the ubuntu repositories? | 18:04 |
| magcius | vadim, or is it third-party | 18:04 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | ActionParsnip: that's a rt2something | 18:04 |
| vadim | magcius: it is | 18:04 |
| Oprtz | ActionParsnip: can i get ur smb,conf file please? | 18:04 |
| vadim | magcius: in repositories I mean | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Le-Chuck_ITA: run lsusb and it will identify itself. the brand and model means very little in linux, only the chip thats inside | 18:05 |
| magcius | vadim, then all the packages you installed are in the ubuntu respositories. | 18:05 |
| timreichhart | if anybody setup a fax server what hardware did you guys use | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: sure | 18:05 |
| n1ob | Hi i just installed ssh and apache and im trying to access from other machine, but it just wont reach...what can be happening? | 18:05 |
| magcius | vadim, removing proposed and autoremove should get rid of stuff not needed anymore | 18:05 |
| jrib | zamba: firefox doesn't use cookie.txt anymore. It uses sqlite | 18:05 |
| Oprtz | ActionParsnip: thanks dude :) | 18:05 |
| matthias_N | pangloss: sone help please | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: http://pastebin.com/f14b4c82e | 18:05 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | ActionParsnip: I still have to buy it :) Or else i would know if it works :P but thanks | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: just look at the bottom 20 lines or so | 18:06 |
| zamba | jrib: i want to use firefox cookies store with wget.. how can i do that, then? | 18:06 |
| magcius | vadim, you should be able to force old versions of packages. | 18:06 |
| Oprtz | ActionParsnip: okie :) | 18:06 |
| JoeDaMac | so, while ubuntu is booting, and my monitor isn't displaying anything so I'm working blind, how would I get to the command prompt to enter a command such as... $ xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 to change resolutions? | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: the bracketed names are the share name, the rest is self explanatory | 18:06 |
| jrib | zamba: google export-firefox-cookies.py | 18:06 |
| vadim | magcius: I don't think I'm explaining well. Situation. I have the normal source. I get package 1.0. I add proposed, which has 1.1. Upgrade installs it. It doesn't work, I remove proposed. I'm looking for a command that will automatically get rid of whatever proposed added, returning to the versions that can be currently downloaded from the remaining package sources | 18:06 |
| magcius | zamba, figure out the cookies with Firebug and send them as the cookie headers | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeDaMac: boot to root console and fix from there | 18:06 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | ActionParsnip: I left by accident dunno if you replied, sorry | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: see how childishly simple it is.... | 18:07 |
| dataflow | does ifup tell you why it failed to bring up an interface? | 18:07 |
| magcius | vadim, I don't think you can automatically determine what you installed/upgraded | 18:07 |
| n1ob | Hi i just installed ssh and apache and im trying to access from other machine, but it just wont reach...what can be happening? | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | dataflow: should give you an output to terminal | 18:07 |
| matthias_N | pangloss: i did the firmware installation but what follows ... | 18:07 |
| gustavo | hello, I`m on intrepid, and Rhythmbox uses 16% of CPU on a Core Duo when listening to mp3. I`ve disabled pulseaudio and the problem continues. what should I do? | 18:07 |
| magcius | vadim, you can look up what version of packages are required, but you can't tell which ones you had before or what you needed to change | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | n1ob: can you ping the systems name and ip address? | 18:07 |
| vadim | magcius: Why not? Can't it tell that I currently have 1.1 while 1.0 is the latest in the package sources? | 18:07 |
| Oprtz | ActionParsnip: i see | 18:08 |
| dataflow | ActionParsnip, It did. it told me it didn't exist...but i see my card w/ lspci | 18:08 |
| magcius | vadim, you can say "get 1.0" but you may not have had 1.0 before, you may have had 1.0.1 | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | dataflow: have you configured any sort of firewalling? | 18:08 |
| Dominik2 | how can I resize my swap partition? | 18:08 |
| matthias_N | pangloss: i am following the page you gave me but do not know exaclty what i am doing | 18:08 |
| magcius | vadim, if you know what versions you had before you can do "sudo apt-get install package=1.0" | 18:08 |
| vadim | magcius: nono, I don't care what there was before, I want to downgrade to the latest version available in sources | 18:08 |
| w0ls0n | whats the off topic channel? | 18:08 |
| magcius | vadim, you HAVE the latest in the repository if proposed installed it | 18:08 |
| vadim | magcius: yes, but I removed proposed now | 18:08 |
| jrib | !ot | w0ls0n | 18:09 |
| ubottu | w0ls0n: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Oprtz: the gui is clumsy, plus if you master that file (not hard), you can ssh in, add another entry and restart samba to get another share, all remotely | 18:09 |
| magcius | vadim, are you sure it didn't add anymore package repositories? | 18:09 |
| vadim | magcius: no | 18:09 |
| dataflow | ActionParsnip, no FW on this machine. ifup gives me this. There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.ath0.pid with pid 0 | 18:09 |
| dataflow | and then tells me it doesnt exist | 18:09 |
| magcius | vadim, and you had no update messages before you installed proposed? | 18:09 |
| matthias_N | ziroday: there ??? | 18:09 |
| vadim | magcius: no, it was up to date | 18:09 |
| dataflow | i think it's a complication with my driver. | 18:09 |
| magcius | vadim, then it installed separate packages | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dataflow: you could check system logs | 18:10 |
| magcius | vadim, uninstall those | 18:10 |
| miaow- | where do i get the kernel source? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !source | 18:10 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 18:10 |
| magcius | miaow-, git.kernel.org? | 18:10 |
| znh | on the internet miaow- | 18:10 |
| jrib | !kernel > miaow- | 18:10 |
| ubottu | miaow-, please see my private message | 18:10 |
| dataflow | ActionParsnip, should i check auth.log? or messages? | 18:10 |
| dataflow | both... | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dataflow: everything you can find | 18:11 |
| dataflow | ok, brb | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dataflow: you could reload its module then check dmesg | 18:11 |
| ljuwaidah | hi | 18:11 |
| ljuwaidah | uh | 18:11 |
| asjdfkl | when I use ubuntu 8.10 in virtual drive, I can't use it to preview before I install | 18:11 |
| magcius | asjdfkl, huh? | 18:12 |
| asjdfkl | I mounted it | 18:12 |
| magcius | asjdfkl, what do you mean? | 18:12 |
| ljuwaidah | how do i install bittorrent? | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | asjdfkl: virtual drive? | 18:12 |
| asjdfkl | and It asked me to install | 18:12 |
| ljuwaidah | well | 18:12 |
| asjdfkl | like VMware | 18:12 |
| ljuwaidah | i thought i installed it but... | 18:12 |
| djhash | asjdfkl: you need a virtual machine | 18:12 |
| slowlearner | asjdfkl if you can boot to your virtual drive | 18:12 |
| asjdfkl | yeah | 18:12 |
| ljuwaidah | some really simple app got installed :/ | 18:12 |
| asjdfkl | ti have it | 18:12 |
| magcius | asjdfkl, you don't mount in VMWare | 18:12 |
| dataflow | how do i find a list of the mods to reload it? or do i rm it myself? forgive my novice. this piticular wifi card is kinda crazy. seems like everyone else fixed it with madwifi. | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ljuwaidah: what did you install and how? | 18:12 |
| asjdfkl | I use virtual box | 18:12 |
| magcius | ljuwaidah, what client do you want? | 18:12 |
| ljuwaidah | sudo apt-get install bittorrent | 18:13 |
| magcius | ljuwaidah, I use deluge | 18:13 |
| vadim | magcius: well I don't know which, is there a log? I rebooted since then | 18:13 |
| mon^rch | ljuwaidah: transmission is the default bittorrent in ubuntu | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | dataflow: cat /etc/modules | 18:13 |
| ljuwaidah | magcius: you know, bittorrent, the original one? | 18:13 |
| joebodo | is there a way to tell if my ati is running in accelerated mode ? | 18:13 |
| asjdfkl | so, how come I can't install it | 18:13 |
| ljuwaidah | deluge? | 18:13 |
| magcius | ljuwaidah, that's windows only. don't use it. | 18:13 |
| ljuwaidah | i'll give it a shot | 18:13 |
| dataflow | and how do i reload a module? | 18:13 |
| ljuwaidah | oh! | 18:13 |

| dataflow | :!/cat /etc/modules | 18:13 |
| dataflow | er | 18:13 |

| pedro__s | that BinaryDriverHowo is outdated | 18:16 |
| joebodo | agreed | 18:16 |
| wos | is there any particular reason why my title bar sometimes goes blank and has a line across it? | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | asjdfkl: what app are you using to install it? | 18:16 |
| dataflow | checking lsmod. /etc/modules doesnt seem to have anything but the three enteries in it | 18:16 |
| joebodo | does not help with 8.10 | 18:16 |
| matthias_N | ActionParsnip: yes following an example but does not tells if for ubuntu 8.10 and how to proceed | 18:16 |
| blue112 | You know a place where I can have a python script hosted for free ? | 18:17 |

| Nillerz | I like Fluxbox I'm using int now | 18:47 |
| Nillerz | Ininstalled KDE as a desktop manager a while back but uninstalled it because I don't like it. I purged all k software but things sitll occasionally have remnents of how they looked on kde, essentially the test that goes into fields is white not black and then the menus under the title bar in any desktop manager I do whether it be XFCE or Fluxbox is blue | 18:48 |
| jrib | Dabbu: just install the server kernel and boot it | 18:48 |
| dennister | hey channel...I've been quite patient here, so is anyone available now to help me modify my gdm greeter/login screen? | 18:48 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> i said earlier to copy the format, so what is the issue? | 18:48 |
| jrib | Dabbu: wait. Why do you want to do that? | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | Dabbu | 18:48 |
| ubottu | Dabbu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 18:48 |
| karlrhs | my power went out during upgrade to ibex. I have the gui back but now need help for the upgrade to show as a possibility for upgrade | 18:48 |
| ldiamond | jrib, the kernel is the same isnt it? | 18:48 |
| jrib | dennister: say what you tried and exactly how it didn't work | 18:48 |
| jrib | ldiamond: no | 18:48 |
| Kris07 | It doesn't have to do with the desktop, icons, or the borders of my windows. | 18:48 |
| linkmaster03 | billybigrigger: nope :( | 18:48 |
| jrib | linkmaster03: apt-cache show linux-image-server | 18:48 |
| rand0mabo | n8tuser: I don't even know what you mean by "get authenticated to linux to use linux resources" so I couldn't have done it before.. Once i installed the Ext2 filesystem driver thing before, I chose a drive letter for it and it showed up in My Computer | 18:48 |
| Dabbu | jrib: i want to learn how to use and maintain a server ,,,,,? | 18:48 |

| ldiamond | Dabbu, the server version doesnt have a gui you know...? | 18:49 |
| linkmaster03 | jrib: was that supposed to be for me? | 18:49 |
| Kris07 | But my panels, and everything else weird. | 18:49 |
| dennister | jrib: I can't even remember what I tried weeks ago...been looking in /etc/gdm/Init/Default, and presession | 18:49 |
| slwpolar | HELLO THOMAS LEE | 18:49 |
| n8tuser | rand0mabo-> well if you dont understand and cannot do a tutorial, i can not be much of help to you | 18:49 |
| jrib | ldiamond: apt-cache show linux-image-server | 18:49 |
| jrib | linkmaster03: nope, sorry :) | 18:49 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, you can install Apache and everything on the desktop version | 18:49 |
| slwpolar | n8tuser, im booted into ubuntu now | 18:49 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> are you root? | 18:49 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: no problem...i have a ebook to learn...... | 18:49 |
| Holek_ | jrib: thank you :D | 18:49 |
| jrib | Dabbu: ok, you don't need to do anything special. See ldiamond's advice | 18:49 |
| === jku_ is now known as jku | ||
| n8tuser | slwpolar-> okay, congrats, now what is the issue? | 18:50 |
| rand0mabo | n8tuser: could you explain what you meant by "get authenticated to linux to use linux resources" | 18:50 |
| jrib | Dabbu: you want to play with a web server? | 18:50 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: i don't know anything about server | 18:50 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> are you root or root priviledge? | 18:50 |
| south_korea | ldiamond, how can i open a port to the public | 18:50 |
| slwpolar | Im having problems getting my wireless internet to work | 18:50 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, if you want, you could make a new partition and set it up from scratch to learn... but Updating wouldnt be the way to go | 18:50 |
| slwpolar | At all | 18:50 |
| JaxxMaxx__ | n8tuser: I've sudo'd to an admin shell, yes | 18:50 |
| ldiamond | south_korea, You have to do it on your router | 18:50 |
| Dabbu | jrib: yes | 18:50 |
| Malik_ | can some1 help me with VNC | 18:50 |
| ldiamond | south_korea, use port triggering or port forwarding | 18:50 |
| south_korea | i have no router | 18:50 |
| jrib | !lamp > Dabbu | 18:50 |
| ubottu | Dabbu, please see my private message | 18:50 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: yes i was thinking of that | 18:50 |
| Tetracomm | For some strange reason, svn is not installed and aptitude can't find it. | 18:50 |
| dennister | jfirst of all, I find it very confusing to have the login configuration do all sorts of things with backgrounds, themes, etc, but have nothing to do with resolution/size/geometry....and to have that called the greeter | 18:51 |
| n8tuser | rand0mabo-> im telling you you need to get authenticated to linux to use linux resources, without authentication a user cannot access linux resources, try to be a user mongols and see how much you can do in your linux system | 18:51 |
| ldiamond | south_korea, then all you need is to have an application to listen to this port. | 18:51 |
| jrib | Dabbu: it may be a good idea to do this in a virtual machine so you don't worry about messing things up | 18:51 |
| clovis | hi folks | 18:51 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> and what error are you getting if any? | 18:51 |
| south_korea | i have tomcat installed | 18:51 |
| clovis | how do i manage to run runescape on ubuntu? | 18:51 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, jrib has a good point | 18:51 |
| jwallermobile | I got a strange error message during upgrade to Ibex | 18:51 |
| south_korea | access node is http://123.109.93.40:8080/ | 18:51 |
| ldiamond | south_korea, what port | 18:51 |
| slwpolar | ssssss | 18:51 |
| south_korea | 8080 | 18:51 |
| clovis | iv already updated and upgraded my java | 18:51 |
| south_korea | tomcat port | 18:51 |
| JaxxMaxx__ | n8tuser: no response to my console when the command is issued. | 18:51 |
| billybigrigger | linkmaster03, did it work? | 18:51 |
| dennister | jrib: i've certainly tried googling and stuff, but am getting nowhere | 18:51 |
| joebodo | i used the aticccle to configure my dual monitor setup - the second monitor resolution is not good - is there a way to change it ? | 18:51 |
| JaxxMaxx__ | I just get a newline | 18:51 |
| ldiamond | south_korea, if its already listening to it, you dont have a router, you dont have a firewall and your ISP doesnt block it, it should work | 18:51 |
| mrrcp | Question... How do i install Flash and Java? So it works with opera | 18:52 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: can u give me some sugestion...i want to learn everything of my own..i don't live training because most of them at here at india sucks | 18:52 |
| linkmaster03 | billybigrigger: nope | 18:52 |
| jrib | dennister: what are you trying to accomplish exactly? | 18:52 |
| ldiamond | south_korea, You have nothing to do to open the port on your system besides listening to it | 18:52 |
| Tetracomm | nvm | 18:52 |
| slwpolar | When someone has a chance can someone walk me through setting up a wirelss network on ubuntu? | 18:52 |
| joebodo | mrrcp install the restricted extras package | 18:52 |
| south_korea | i can see the page i made, but people can't see it | 18:52 |
| johannes__ | hi I had some problems with my last flash player and firefox crashes, which one should I choose now? adobe flash player, swfdec player, gnash swf player | 18:52 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> says has to be in level # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 are you on that level, or look at the script and see what stop) do | 18:52 |
| matrix | hey guys i installed internet explorer and it has flash9 i want to download flash 10 it does not work how to get flash player 10 on internet explorer on ubuntu | 18:52 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, It depends what you want to do | 18:52 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: live is actually like... | 18:52 |
| jrib | johannes__: adobe's will be able to play more flash content | 18:53 |
| south_korea | http://123.109.93.40:8080/ please try this and see what happen | 18:53 |
| dennister | jrib: after I reboot, the greeter is too big...barely visible is the username and password boxes...can't get to the session chooser or anything; what I want to do is get the greeter to show the session chooser (kde, gnome, etc.) | 18:53 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, Read tutorials about stuffs you want to do, set them up on a VM and make it work | 18:53 |
| johannes__ | jrib is it reliable? | 18:53 |
| mrrcp | joebodo, how | 18:53 |
| jrib | johannes__: works ok for me in intrepid | 18:53 |
| n8tuser | slwpolar-> you are on wubi, can you run network-manager ? | 18:53 |
| south_korea | ubuntu has no firewall like seLinux ? | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip | johannes__: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nspluginwrapper flashplayer-nonfree; nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so | 18:53 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: why someone will use server ? | 18:53 |
| jrib | dennister: is this a resolution issue? | 18:53 |
| johannes__ | jrib thx | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !firewall | south_korea | 18:53 |
| ubottu | south_korea: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 18:53 |
| slwpolar | How do I bring up network manager? | 18:53 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, the Ubuntu server edition? | 18:53 |
| south_korea | thanks action | 18:53 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: yes ? | 18:54 |
| dennister | jrib: it may be; once i'm past the greeter, resolution is fine | 18:54 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: this is the question i ask myself | 18:54 |
| slwpolar | I can find System > admin > system tools | 18:54 |
| slwpolar | network tools* | 18:54 |
| joebodo | mrrcp sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:54 |
| slwpolar | Not network manager | 18:54 |
| JaxxMaxx__ | n8tuser: I'm not trying to change modes, I'm just trying to stop the freeradius daemon so I can clear the log file, then start it again | 18:54 |
| matrix | hey guys i installed internet explorer and it has flash9 i want to download flash 10 it does not work how to get flash player 10 on internet explorer | 18:54 |
| n8tuser | slwpolar-> okay thats the equivalent i think | 18:54 |
| calum | Hi folks, can anyone suggest why my flash player (the Adobe one) is extremely buggy? It stops, starts, hangs and occasionally crashes Firefox. I'm running an up to date vanilla Ibex install; the only change is that I boot the kernel with noapic as my hardware doesn't play nicely with APIC. | 18:54 |
| jrib | dennister: I would try forcing X to use a specific resolution in xorg.conf. I haven't done this personally though | 18:54 |
| linkmaster03 | billybigrigger: you still there? | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | calum: are you on 64bit? | 18:54 |
| jrib | !x > dennister | 18:54 |
| ubottu | dennister, please see my private message | 18:54 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, People would use that when they host a server. The server doesnt need a gui (often doesnt even have a monitor), it only runs the applications needed, makes it faster and more stable | 18:54 |
| matrix | hey guys i installed internet explorer and it has flash9 i want to download flash 10 it does not work how to get flash player 10 on internet explorer on ubuntu | 18:54 |
| mrrcp | joebodo, is that a normal install? | 18:54 |
| calum | Nope, an ancient Atholon XP 1200 | 18:55 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> did you look at the freeradius script when it calls "stop" ? | 18:55 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, However, I dont think Ubuntu would be the right distro for a server, its more of a desktop distro imo | 18:55 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, The server edition comes with very few things installed | 18:55 |
| joebodo | mrrcp not sure what you mean by normal - it's one of the first things in install on ubuntu | 18:55 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> look at line 63 | 18:55 |
| OxDeadC0de | i still have fedora 8 on my server personally | 18:55 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: so on your opinion which is best | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | calum: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplayer-nonfree (and all other flash players you have installed) | 18:55 |
| joebodo | mrrcp it installs java / flash/ and a few other useful things | 18:55 |
| matrix | hey guys i installed internet explorer and it has flash9 i want to download flash 10 it does not work how to get flash player 10 on internet explorer on ubuntu | 18:55 |
| dennister | jrib: thx | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | calum: then sudo apt-get clean then go to a site with flash, it will be offered to you | 18:56 |
| SlimeyPete | matrix: please don't spam | 18:56 |
| linkmaster03 | matrix: why are you running internet explorer on ubuntu | 18:56 |
| SlimeyPete | it probably isn't possible | 18:56 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: what do you mean by few things installed | 18:56 |
| SlimeyPete | flash10 is quite new and may not work under WINE. | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | calum: something like http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 | 18:56 |
| ldiamond | Which distro? I dont really know, I'm also wondering which one to install on my server. But my server will also be used as a desktop, so Ill install a gui. | 18:56 |
| mrrcp | joebodo, thanks a ton | 18:56 |
| JaxxMaxx__ | n8tuser: yes, it's calling killproc and handing it a PID that is hopefully correct. | 18:56 |
| matrix | when i go to adobe to install flash player 10 it says your platform not supported | 18:56 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, It doesnt even have a web browser on. | 18:56 |
| pindakaas117 | I have Debian Etch on my server :) | 18:56 |
| calum | ActionParsnip, I'll give that a try - I had tried the troubleshooting page from the FAQ, but got nowhere | 18:56 |
| Ahadiel | Archlinux on my server :D | 18:56 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, Its just a console with Apache installed (and a few other server progs) | 18:57 |
| linkmaster03 | debian lenny on my server | 18:57 |
| RobertTables | Im trying to allow a samba share for /var/www - anyone any pointers? ive edited the smb.conf directly with the necessary details.. im assuming its a permissions issue? Ive created a user/group of which my main user is a member, can anyone help? | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | calum: having a load of flash stuff installed can confuse stuff | 18:57 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> okay, test it | 18:57 |
| slwpolar | http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2mpa4gi&s=4 theres a ss of network tools, what next? | 18:57 |
| h4x0r | matrix do you have a amd64? | 18:57 |
| hubar | hmm anyone using CVPN with intrepid??? | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | calum: you could try nspluginwrapper which can help | 18:57 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: can i connect to internet using wvdial | 18:57 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, Honestly, start using linux desktop first. | 18:57 |
| hubar | How come a entry isn't showing up? | 18:57 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, I dont know what wvdial is. | 18:57 |
| nite_johnboy | Hi Everyone - If I wanted to upgrade from Hardy Heron 8.04/Gnome to Intrepid Ibex - Would it be pretty straight forward and easy enough to do - Also if I upgrade would I lose anything I've already installed in Hardy ? ? ? | 18:57 |
| JaxxMaxx__ | Oh, lookat that, there's no .pid file in here | 18:57 |
| JaxxMaxx__ | no wonder it can't kill it. | 18:58 |
| linkmaster03 | nite_johnboy: it's easy, and no you won't lose anything | 18:58 |
| Dabbu | ldiamond: in ubuntu desktop my USB modem is detected..will it be same with server ? | 18:58 |
| joebodo | nite_johnboy pretty straight forward - i didnt lose anything | 18:58 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, I doubt it will be right out of the box. | 18:58 |
| slwpolar | : | can anyone help me set up my wireless internet in ubuntu? im tempted to go back to windows because this is a hassle | 18:58 |
| joebodo | nite_johnboy it asks questions during the install - so you have to monitor it | 18:58 |
| ldiamond | Dabbu, You might want to try. Otherwise, install it on a VM and use NAT through your machine. That will work right out of the box | 18:58 |
| n8tuser | JaxxMaxx__-> sweet..hehehe you maybe looking at the wrong dir? look at line 20 & 21 | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | nite_johnboy: no, it only upgrades the apps to intrepid that you have installed in hardy | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | nite_johnboy | 18:59 |
| ubottu | nite_johnboy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 18:59 |

| MAXI-MUM | vista with generic drivers is fast as ubuntu with default kernel but after installing drivers on vista from oem website is remarkibly faster than ubuntu in all aspects .. boot time application startup video every thing so i suggest not try to add new features in the LTS version of ubuntu but rather tweak the LTS to have all features of previous versions and add new features in the non LTS releases | 19:15 |
| Oprtz | billybigrigger: whats the channel name dude ? | 19:15 |

| billybigrigger | n8tuser, for NM? | 19:20 |
| yesudeep | do-release-upgrade should be patched to gracefully revert the system configuration files back to originals if someone terminates the process using a sig kill | 19:20 |

| Flannel | Chiselhuk_Plus1: What version of Ubuntu areyou using? | 19:20 |

| n8tuser | billybigrigger-> for whatever network tools ubuntu have.. | 19:20 |
| goat|lappy | Chiselhuk_Plus1: mozilla does that with all their projects, firefox takes the name of parks | 19:20 |
| yesudeep | luckily, it keeps a copy of the original source.lists | 19:20 |
| baby-d | usser_ i can get pdfedit off ubuntu website.... it should have a step by step walk through right? | 19:20 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | goat|lappy: Gutsy | 19:20 |

| lusepuster_ | Bump...Since some time ago, my computer can't find my CD drive sometimes. I have a hard time figuring out the system as to when it can't and when it can't, but audio cds seem to be a consequent choke for it. Says it cannot mount audio CD because it cannot find /dev/scd0. So, it recognizes there is an audio CD, how is that possible if it cannot find /dev/scd0? I am confused... | 19:21 |
| usser_ | baby-d, i'd guess so. i've never used it myself but ppl on the forums seem to like it | 19:22 |

| usser_ | baby-d, actually the amount of human errors is close to 100% :) | 19:23 |

| nintendork32 | how do i install linux .package files? do i just open it in the terminal? | 19:23 |
| TerminalError | im not sure what could be causing this problem anyone have any ideas point me in the right direction of what i need to google at least | 19:23 |
| goat|lappy | Chiselhuk_Plus1: you just may need to close some apps duringthe upgrade, like firefox | 19:24 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | goat|lappy: It said somming about removing so many apps 'n installing others 'n | 19:24 |
| baby-d | lol thanks for the correction | 19:24 |

| billybigrigger | DarK_L0rD, what happens when compiz crashes | 19:29 |
| glaksmono | any ideas? | 19:29 |
| ikonia | glaksmono: ask the question | 19:29 |
| martinmunoz | I can't install 8.10, USB module error, the troubleshooting on the forum isn't working. | 19:29 |
| nintendork32 | ikonia: its not there :( | 19:29 |
| glaksmono | ikonia, i got an error message that says about icpc command | 19:29 |
| ikonia | Dillizar: so it's not a problem | 19:29 |
| glaksmono | what is it? | 19:29 |
| Dillizar | ikonia: lol | 19:29 |
| ikonia | glaksmono: what is the error, and what are you trying to do | 19:29 |
| glaksmono | i searched through the web and it seems like it's intel compiler | 19:30 |
| acee12345 | i just got a message "(01:28:20 PM) mrares: Received CTCP 'PING 35003445' (to acee12345) from mrares" !!?? what is this? | 19:30 |
| Dillizar | ikonia: but the how to said that | 19:30 |
| glaksmono | i'm trying to makefile | 19:30 |
| hubar | JDahl: ok, I will try to reboot first. :) | 19:30 |
| dombre | question how do I get flash to work, I'm running ubuntu 8.10 x64 and have tried installing gnash and the gnash firefox plugin but it does not seem to be working properly. | 19:30 |
| nintendork32 | ikonia: should i make it? | 19:30 |
| TerminalError | anyone got any clue about why some of my programs won't load and yet others work fine such such as sound, appearance, etc? | 19:30 |
| DarK_L0rD | @billy can't close any windows and there are all sorts problems of cube not working, none of the compiz feature works | 19:30 |
| ikonia | nintendork32: PATH=$PATH:/new/path/additions | 19:30 |
| JDahl | hubar, have you install the svn extension for gnome-networkmanager? | 19:30 |
| lusepuster_ | Okay I tried to mount my audio CD manually. I used flag -t auto, and it said I needed to specify the fstype. What fs is used on an ordinary audio cd? And does anyone have an idea why it doesn't automount anymore, and Gnome tells me it cannot find /dev/scd0 even though it's listed in /dev/ ? | 19:30 |
| n8tuser | TerminalError-> which program? can you do an strace or ltrace ? | 19:30 |
| ikonia | glaksmono: then you need to read up on how to make makefiles - as thats not really anything to do with ubuntu specificlhy | 19:31 |
| The-Compiler | acee12345: someone (mrares) did a CTCP PING to you (checked the connection time between his and your PC). | 19:31 |
| billybigrigger | DarK_L0rD, but the rest of your system is usable? its not hard locking? | 19:31 |
| TerminalError | ones that won't load are sound and appearance* | 19:31 |
| matthias_N | TerminalError: what do you mean | 19:31 |
| nintendork32 | ikonia: add a new path for each path addition or add it to the same line like windows? | 19:31 |
| acee12345 | The-Compiler: why would they do that | 19:31 |
| billybigrigger | DarK_L0rD, if thats the case, enable the compiz crash handler plugin and try to reproduce the crash, and read the log...see whats causing it | 19:31 |
| hubar | JDahl: Yeah, I installed vpnc and network-manager-vpnc. | 19:31 |
| DarK_L0rD | @billy, that is correct and surprisingly the fusion-icon works so i could be able to swtich back | 19:31 |

| JDLSpeedy | how does one remove a program from run time? | 19:32 |
| TerminalError | well like firefox, synaptic package manager, xchat, etc load fine but sound and appearance just opens the program and freezes | 19:32 |
| Flannel | nintendork32: All in one is fine, just separate with colons. | 19:32 |
| ikonia | glaksmono: what are you trying to build | 19:32 |
| The-Compiler | acee12345: Maybe he wanted to test what ctcp ping is and tested it on a randomly picked nick. Or he just clicked on a wrong place. Whatever. Ask him :P | 19:32 |
| TerminalError | does not load anything and have to force quit to get rid of it | 19:32 |

| lexrex | this is the one problem that is preventing my use of linux on my eeepc -- i thought it was my router -- so i just bought a new linksys with better range/etc | 20:02 |
| jrib | martinmunoz: if you want to suspend to disk (hibernate), yes. You would need as much swap as you have ram | 20:02 |
| Johan-UbuntuNewb | i cant connect to open networks but i can connect to "password protectdet" | 20:02 |
| Johan-UbuntuNewb | why? | 20:03 |
| lexrex | it worked great until i shut the laptop and it went into suspend mode | 20:03 |
| pangloss | pigboy: edit your xorg.conf to use 1280x1024 | 20:03 |
| lusepuster_ | martinmunoz, swap is always nice - otherwise, if your RAM fills up, the computer pretty much stalls. | 20:03 |
| mikethk | Mariner, well whe i download it and pack it out where is it then? can i just go install it now and then its great? | 20:03 |

| eitreach | chrisorange2: Well, it's not my screen really - I'm trying to figure out a problem for another non-english user. | 21:18 |
| ikonia | spiritssight: your best bet is to approach a local company for help, if you join #ubuntu-offtopic we can chat futher about how to sell it to a local business | 21:18 |
| joebodo_ | FrancisN if it suddenly stopped working without any changes to your system, it may be a hardware issue | 21:18 |
| eitreach | chrisorange2: I just need to know the file where I can switch back. | 21:18 |
| zsquareplusc | magcius: you mean you want to switch terminals within a script? dunno. but you can write to other screens by redirectying to /dev/tty1 etc | 21:19 |
| guntbert | superjerm: first try exactly the same line, but now with sudo in front | 21:19 |
| dataflow | What would be the first thing to do in order to find out the reason for this in my kern.log? Nov 9 07:45:12 dataflow_crescendo kernel: [ 22.374968] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) | 21:19 |
| chrisorange2 | eitreach, no idea sorry :( | 21:19 |
| joebodo_ | FrancisN for some reason, i was losing all audio, i killed pulseaudio and it suddenly started working again (not sure if this helps) | 21:20 |
| superjerm | yeh i dont get the resolve host problem now and it reads the same info as w/o the sudo | 21:20 |
| superjerm | however the network is still not working on the pc | 21:20 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: How would I 'kill' pulseaudio? I've already rebooted multiple times | 21:20 |
| guntbert | !who | superjerm | 21:20 |
| ubottu | superjerm: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 21:20 |
| chrisorange2 | FrancisN, killall | 21:20 |
| joebodo_ | FrancisN killall pulseaudio | 21:20 |
| chrisorange2 | FrancisN, killall pulseaudio | 21:20 |
| superjerm | guntbert sorry about that | 21:21 |
| superjerm | guntbert i was trying to speak to you ;x | 21:21 |
| Reenen | why can't I map <windows-button>-D to anything? <Windows-Button-Left> and <Windows-Button-Right> (aka SuperL, and SuperR) are what are mapped... | 21:21 |
| mib_uvrxww | I'm trying to get apahe2 to work.... is there some basic magic I'm missing with ubuntu.... | 21:21 |
| coolio | r | 21:21 |
| zsquareplusc | dataflow: is your PC showing a clock with correct date in BIOS? some machines have no RTC, its battery may be empty or no/wrong kernel driver may be loaded | 21:21 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: what's the problem ? | 21:21 |
| csilk | mib_uvrxww, more info on that would be nice | 21:21 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: Now there's no sound at all | 21:21 |
| FrancisN | no static but no sound either | 21:22 |
| NEWK2 | Hi | 21:22 |
| guntbert | superjerm: np, but I didn't see your messages right away :), now please look at you output, is the a line that contains 'UP'? | 21:22 |
| === nekrojakub is now known as NekroJakub | ||
| zsquareplusc | eitreach: still not sure what you are missing. what is your native language? | 21:22 |
| superjerm | guntbert UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric: 1 | 21:22 |
| mib_uvrxww | I've installed apache... looks like it's listening 0.0.0.0:80 but i can't connect. I've tried telneting, tcpdump, strace -p . Almost like there is a firewall or something, but there isn't | 21:23 |
| joebodo_ | FrancisN what triggered the original issue ? if nothing changed in your os / then the issue is probably hardware related | 21:23 |
| csilk | mib_uvrxww, connect from where, host machine, LAN, WAN? | 21:23 |
| mib_uvrxww | local connection | 21:23 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: err i guess you know this but, you shouldn't really be connecting to the 0.0.0.0 address | 21:23 |
| matthias_N | hi, how can i define wlan in ubuntu 8.10 intrepid | 21:23 |
| mib_uvrxww | say 127.0.0.1 | 21:23 |
| dataflow | zsquareplusc, so you believe it might be my BIOS clock? thats alright. I thought it was related to this wifi problem i'm having | 21:23 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: is apache actually running | 21:23 |
| guntbert | superjerm: good, now is there a line with ' inet address'? | 21:24 |
| zsquareplusc | LjL: that 0.0.0.0 is usually displayed if it is connected to ALL network devices | 21:24 |
| eitreach | zsquareplusc: When Ubuntu is starting, I only get a busy cursor where a login screen should be. | 21:24 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: I'm not entirely sure, the only things I've changed are I did updates and installed OO.org v3 | 21:24 |
| Dominik1 | where can I find the ~/.themes directory? | 21:24 |
| joebodo_ | !wifi | matthias_N | 21:24 |
| csilk | mib_uvrxww, what happens when you try localhost in your browser? | 21:24 |
| ubottu | matthias_N: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 21:24 |
| Slart | my gnome trashbin applet shows there are "4 files in the deleted items folder".. I can't see any files when I check "trash://".. there are no files in ~/.local/share/Trash either.. I've checked all my drives for .Trash-XXXX folders but they are all empty.. any places I've forgotten? any magic I can do to the trashbin to make it reveal where these mysterious 4 files are located? | 21:24 |
| FrancisN | I certainly haven't tinkered with the hardware | 21:24 |
| zsquareplusc | dataflow: RTC = real time clock | 21:24 |
| mib_uvrxww | yup http://mibbit.com/pb/ZsTXJc | 21:24 |
| LjL | zsquareplusc: yes, i know that. i suspected for a moment that he might actually be trying to connect to "0.0.0.0" in the browser. | 21:24 |
| zsquareplusc | LjL: ah :-) | 21:24 |
| dataflow | Dominik1, /home/<usrname>/ maybe? | 21:24 |
| mib_uvrxww | just sits there trying to connect | 21:24 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: what error do you get | 21:24 |
| matthias_N | joebodo_: yes, installed the driver for the card but faild to get wlan in iwconfig | 21:24 |
| joebodo_ | FrancisN you can restart pulse with pulseaudio -D | 21:24 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: ok, so it a time out | 21:25 |
| mib_uvrxww | No errors... | 21:25 |
| mib_uvrxww | Yeah time out | 21:25 |
| csilk | mib_uvrxww, what this after a default install e.g. sudo apt-ge tisntall apache2 ? | 21:25 |
| dataflow | Dominik1, usr ls -al to see hidden files | 21:25 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: and your trying this with 127.0.0.1 | 21:25 |
| csilk | *install | 21:25 |
| wos | hey could someone explain to me how i can get my motherboard back panel sound output to work? | 21:25 |
| mib_uvrxww | It was a default install | 21:25 |
| tayo | hey, how do i restore the Gnome panel to its default setting? | 21:25 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: Printed a couple things about ltdl-bind-now.c: failed to find original dlopen loader | 21:25 |
| Dominik1 | dataflow: how do I use that in the file browser? | 21:25 |
| FrancisN | is that a problem? | 21:25 |
| matthias_N | ubottu: yes but i get no wlan | 21:25 |
| FrancisN | now sound doesn't work at all | 21:25 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:25 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: but your typing "http://localhost" in your browser | 21:25 |
| Dominik1 | dataflow: I have to delte the folder of a theme that I had previously installed, but then removed | 21:25 |
| dataflow | Dominik1, it should already show you the hidden files. | 21:26 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: or "what are you typing in your browser" should be the qestion | 21:26 |
| mib_uvrxww | yes, and localhost maps to 127.0.0.1 | 21:26 |
| NEWK2 | Hey, everyone | 21:26 |
| NEWK2 | I have a question | 21:26 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback | 21:26 |
| dataflow | NEWK2, ask man...little time... | 21:26 |
| Dominik1 | dataflow: hidden, huh.... thanks man helped alot | 21:26 |
| NEWK2 | I know that it's possible to upgrade from a previous version of Ubuntu to the latest version | 21:26 |
| joebodo_ | FrancisN have you tried switching your device in preferences->sound ? | 21:26 |
| zsquareplusc | eitreach: ok. the normal ubuntu (gnome) uses GDM for log ins. you may reinstall that to get default config. maybe that helps? | 21:26 |
| NEWK2 | but would it be possible to update to the latest one from a version that's several versions back? | 21:26 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: ALSA gives static, the HDA name gives an error, and pulseaudio gives nothing | 21:26 |
| NEWK2 | Specifically, I want to upgrade from 6.06 to the latest version | 21:27 |
| eitreach | zsquareplusc: but will the config file still not be there, causing the problem? | 21:27 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: wait no, pulseaudio gives static too | 21:27 |
| DasEi | NEWK2:you could, but I wouldn't recommend it | 21:27 |
| azhar27 | NEWK2 , you can;t do that | 21:27 |
| Slart | NEWK2: I think you'll have to do the upgrades one by one.. not sure though | 21:27 |
| guntbert | superjerm: ? | 21:27 |
| Flannel | NEWK2: Ah! 6.06 is an LTS, so you can upgrade 6.06 to 8.04 (which is also an LTS), and then you can upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 | 21:27 |
| Flannel | NEWK2: so, yes, of course! | 21:27 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: you didn't mention trying netstat. try "sudo netstat -l -p | grep apache" | 21:27 |
| superjerm | guntbert: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric: 1 | 21:27 |
| NEWK2 | holy crap! That's right!! :D | 21:27 |
| joebodo_ | FrancisN sorry - not sure what else to suggest | 21:27 |
| milligan | useradd: The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3). The default is to disable the account. <- What package contains crypt ? | 21:27 |
| zsquareplusc | eitreach: remove the package with --purge, that erases old configs | 21:27 |
| guntbert | superjerm: good, now is there a line with ' inet address'? | 21:27 |
| NEWK2 | Even I knew that, I jsut didn't put 2 and 2 together! :D | 21:27 |
| cappiz | i have chosen a screen res that my display doesnt support - how can i change it back? when i login my screen turns black | 21:27 |
| eitreach | zsquareplusc: alright. thanks. | 21:27 |
| dataflow | synaptic would handle kernel upgrade yah | 21:28 |
| mib_uvrxww | tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 8001/apache2 unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 24982 8002/apache2 /var/run/apache2/cgisock.8001 | 21:28 |
| Flannel | NEWK2: However, you may consider stopping at 8.04, since its an LTS and you'll be able to stay with that version until (and then upgrade to) 10.04 | 21:28 |
| LjL | milligan: crypt(3) is a C library function, not a command. | 21:28 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: I'm going to try booting with the ubuntu usb again, if sound works there then something's wrong with my config | 21:28 |
| NEWK2 | Bad ass, because I just burnt the Ibex ISO to my last CD-R and I live 40 miles away from civilization so getting more CD-Rs is out of the question | 21:28 |
| superjerm | guntbert: inet6 addr: fe80::2c0:f0ff:fe77:684e/64 Scope:Link | 21:28 |
| zsquareplusc | eitreach: hm. uninstalling might be a plain. there is probably a way to reinstall including default config | 21:28 |
| milligan | LjL, so how can I use it in a bash script ? | 21:28 |
| NEWK2 | but I do have these old 6.06 disks lying around so that's what I'll use | 21:28 |
| joebodo_ | FrancisN sounds like a good idea | 21:28 |
| NEWK2 | thanks guys | 21:28 |
| NEWK2 | I'll probably be back later for more support | 21:28 |
| LjL | milligan: you can't | 21:28 |
| superjerm | guntbert looks like some bad mac address now that i see it now, not sure how to fix it though ;x | 21:28 |
| dataflow | looking forward | 21:28 |
| LjL | milligan: perhaps the "mcrypt" package may provide that functionality. not sure. | 21:29 |
| magcius | Hey. | 21:29 |
| Johan-UbuntuNewb | where can i find drivers for | 21:29 |
| pr0fane | Can ubuntu show your pc-s cpu and etc temperatures? | 21:29 |
| Holek_ | again... why my xorg.conf (http://pastebin.pl/3424) does not let me have 1280x1024@75Hz? | 21:29 |
| milligan | LjL, why the hell did they add the function to the program? :-\ | 21:29 |
| Holek_ | eh | 21:29 |
| Johan-UbuntuNewb | intel gma 950 | 21:29 |
| Holek_ | back | 21:29 |
| guntbert | superjerm: so you got no IP(4)-Address, no bad MAC, do you have dhcp in your net? | 21:29 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: so it's listening on 8001 not 80? | 21:29 |
| magcius | Question: can I have PulseAudio's sound redirected to all terminals? | 21:29 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: no sorry, nonsense on my part | 21:29 |
| zsquareplusc | pr0fane: yes it can. with sensor-applet for example | 21:29 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: what are you typing in your browser to test the website | 21:30 |
| Johan-UbuntuNewb | where can i find drives for my Intel GMA 950 | 21:30 |
| pr0fane | how to get senson-applet? | 21:30 |
| pr0fane | or how to open it | 21:30 |
| superjerm | guntbert: im working with the network manager settings (the gui) and attempting to manually set the IPv4 setting...but keeps being non-responsive for me. My router does have DHCP server setup apparently (according to its main menu) | 21:30 |
| LjL | pr0fane: you mean sensors-applet? | 21:30 |
| mib_uvrxww | tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1521 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 21:30 |
| Flare183 | !paste | mib_uvrxww | 21:30 |
| ubottu | mib_uvrxww: 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) | 21:31 |
| pr0fane | yes | 21:31 |
| floating | updated xubuntu 804 to 810. new kernels came in the way. new were not added to my grub, so i ran update-grub , but the new kernel is still not added to my menu.lst. heres how my menu.lst looks like http://pastebin.ca/1249797 how should i get my new kernel to boot ? | 21:31 |
| mib_uvrxww | says port 80 for netstat -ln | 21:31 |
| aaron | I'm having a terrible amount of trouble getting my xorg working after upgrade to intrepid | 21:31 |
| zsquareplusc | pr0fane: on the top panel, right clock and select "add to this panel" | 21:31 |
| mib_uvrxww | Sorry... | 21:31 |
| LjL | pr0fane: you get it by typing "sudo apt-get install sensors-applet". you run it by (like with every applet) right clicking on your panel, and doing "Add applet". | 21:31 |
| DasEi | Johan-UbuntuNewb:how to find harddrives ? | 21:31 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: what are you typing in your browser to test the website | 21:31 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: Alright, sounds work find from the live usb | 21:31 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: any ideas? | 21:31 |
| magcius | Can I have multiple X servers? | 21:31 |
| matrix | hey guys i have downloaded lots of music and lots of movies now my ubuntu is going very slow, i am wonderin is there any way to delete all files or just to remove this user whats the best way to do | 21:31 |
| LjL | magcius: yes | 21:31 |
| zsquareplusc | magcius: yes | 21:31 |
| magcius | How do I have each one have its own PulseAudio process | 21:32 |
| FrancisN | magcius: yes, you can but I haven't the foggiest idea of how to set them up | 21:32 |
| csilk | magcius, you can have multiple instacnes just not on the same dislpay | 21:32 |
| uriol | hello | 21:32 |
| csilk | *instances | 21:32 |
| guntbert | superjerm: when you use network manager and there is DHCP then try setting your wired network to "roaming mode"= automatic | 21:32 |
| mib_uvrxww | I'm typing localhost, 127.0.0.1 myhostname etc... | 21:32 |
| uriol | i have a problem with my monitor | 21:32 |
| LjL | matrix: your Ubuntu won't go slow because of downloading music and movies, unless you've run badly out of HD space. | 21:32 |
| Johan-UbuntuNewb | DasEi - i like to install them to but (as my nick say) im new to ubuntu | 21:32 |
| uriol | i had upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 | 21:32 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: so your doing "http://localhost" - exactly like that ? | 21:32 |
| === Tronkito is now known as |- | ||
| uriol | but the monitor resolution doesnt allow a resolution higher than 640 x 480 | 21:32 |
| magcius | Say I wanted to have the X server run a process standalone. | 21:32 |
| mib_uvrxww | Yes exactly that.... | 21:32 |
| matrix | yes iam out of HD space | 21:32 |
| FrancisN | joebodo_: any ideas? | 21:33 |
| cappiz | i have chosen a screen res that my display doesnt support - how can i change it back? when i login my screen turns black | 21:33 |
| milligan | passwd --stdin is deprecated ? | 21:33 |
| cappiz | ? | 21:33 |
| uriol | i have a nvidia graphic card | 21:33 |
| yeppi | Have some heard about the meire's project ? | 21:33 |
| superjerm | guntbert: i dont see the 'roaming mode = 'automatic'' anywhere? where do i see that from? | 21:33 |
| uriol | an hanns-g lcd monitor | 21:33 |
| Slart | my gnome trashbin applet shows there are "4 files in the deleted items folder".. I can't see any files when I check "trash://".. there are no files in ~/.local/share/Trash either.. I've checked all my drives for .Trash-XXXX folders but they are all empty.. any places I've forgotten? any magic I can do to the trashbin to make it reveal where these mysterious 4 files are located? | 21:33 |
| magcius | Have a game on a separate terminal | 21:33 |
| DasEi | Johan-UbuntuNewb: sudo fdisk -l in a terminal gives you an overview | 21:33 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww (ikonia): this is a bit weird so i'd suggest a test, run "netcat -l -p 9876" in a terminal, and do "echo test | netcat localhost 9876" in another terminal, to ensure the loopback device is actually working | 21:33 |
| csilk | ikonia, default apt install of apache2 should work just fine unless he has made a configuration error or has some self made permissions problems on the installed dirs | 21:33 |
| magcius | How would I have the terminal have its own sound? | 21:33 |
| DasEi | !terminal > Johan-UbuntuNewb: | 21:33 |
| ikonia | csilk: I didn't say it wouldn't | 21:33 |
| ikonia | LjL: telnet to port 80 and do a get, see if it's apache thats listening | 21:33 |
| zsquareplusc | Slart: maybe you have deleted files as root (via sudo)? | 21:34 |
| uriol | i can't put any resolution higher than that | 21:34 |
| LjL | matrix: then the "best" thing to do entirely depends on just what you want to remove, we can't decide for you. | 21:34 |
| csilk | ikonia, sorry wrong tab complete | 21:34 |
| ikonia | csilk: not a problem | 21:34 |
| uriol | i had installed nvidia drivers | 21:34 |
| guntbert | superjerm: sorry, that was the old GUI (in 8.04) | 21:34 |
| uriol | but don't work | 21:34 |
| LjL | ikonia: he said he'd already tried telnet | 21:34 |
| Slart | zsquareplusc: hmm.. that's possible.. where would those end up? | 21:34 |
| uriol | i don't know how to put this drivers on system | 21:34 |
| mib_uvrxww | Hmmm Nothing from the netcat... | 21:34 |
| ikonia | LjL: I missed that | 21:34 |
| superjerm | guntbert yeh the 8.10 one isn't so friendly :( | 21:34 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: you've telneted to port 80 ljl said, correct ? | 21:35 |
| goose | how can I reinstall my sound drivers? | 21:35 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: well, hit ctrl+d in the second terminal | 21:35 |
| mib_uvrxww | I have, same timeout | 21:35 |
| matrix | i want to have faster or normal ubuntu things are movin slowly on my ubuntu i donno just to remove this user to delet this user will my files be removed if i just remove this user or to remove files manually | 21:35 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: ok - so something is blocking you then | 21:35 |
| pr0fane | i installed sensors-applet, but i can`t open it | 21:35 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: in theory (although i suppose you know that) you should be seeing the word "test" in the first terminal after hitting ctrl+d in the second one | 21:35 |
| uriol | hello ? | 21:35 |
| LjL | pr0fane: how did my instructions fail to work? | 21:35 |
| mib_uvrxww | iptables shows nothing... this is a basic setup... | 21:35 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: does "ifconfig" even list "lo"? | 21:36 |
| ikonia | mib_uvrxww: sudo iptables -L | 21:36 |
| guntbert | superjerm: I like it much better :), did you right-click on the nm-applet, then "edit connections"? | 21:36 |
| lovre | hi all | 21:36 |
| ikonia | LjL: ahhh good call | 21:36 |
| pr0fane | cant find sensors-applet when im trying to add it on my panel | 21:36 |
| zsquareplusc | Slart: see subfolders in ~/.local/share/Trash | 21:36 |
| mib_uvrxww | doh ifconfig does not list lo | 21:36 |
| eydaimon | hmm, vlc doesn't work well with extra visualizations :( | 21:36 |
| JoeTheMac | Hey, anyone wanna try and answer my n00b problem? | 21:36 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: that's why i did that netcat test | 21:36 |
| ikonia | JoeTheMac: just ask the question | 21:36 |
| mib_uvrxww | Check. | 21:36 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: try "ifup lo", or failing that, "ifconfig lo up" | 21:36 |
| Slart | zsquareplusc: yup.. I've cleared those out | 21:37 |
| superjerm | guntbert: yes thats where i was editing, apparently i did some other stuff earlier that put a ifupdown(eth0) on there, which i cannot now delete (says readonly). However, I'm just making another connection and manually editing that myself | 21:37 |
| longstone | Hi everybody, does anyone know how to get 'zimbra-desktop' the fault email handler? | 21:37 |
| lovre | i installed windows, and lost grub. When i installed grub, i lost windows from the list, now i cant run windows. Tried to manually add lines to list, but i cant get it to work, need helpp! ? | 21:37 |
| longstone | the default, i mean | 21:37 |
| LjL | mib_uvrxww: then if that succeeds, look at your /etc/network/interfaces. the first line *should* say "auto lo", and the second "auto lo inet loopback" | 21:37 |
| zsquareplusc | Slart: there may be .trash folders on removable drives too | 21:37 |
| longstone | @'lovre' | 21:37 |
| mib_uvrxww | Bingo.... | 21:37 |
| lovre | longstone: yes? | 21:38 |
| skyper | Does anyone know a nice web page to look for ubuntu themes and change gtk engine? Already know the gnome-look... | 21:38 |
| longstone | there should be a lot of tutorials on grub in the web. Normally you have to add the windows section in 'menu-list' | 21:38 |
| Slart | zsquareplusc: yup.. and on mounted nfs shares and samba shares too.. but I've cleared those out as well | 21:38 |
| Dominik1 | how can i install icon themes? | 21:38 |
| mib_uvrxww | You are all stars.. thanks very much.... argh... should have caught that myself. Thanks again all! | 21:38 |
| zsquareplusc | Slart: log out an iin again? i have no better idea.. | 21:38 |

| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 21:39 |
| lovre | longstone: i have added the windows section following tutorials on the web, but it didnt work. I dont know if root(hd0,0) is right, maybe because it is on another partition | 21:39 |
| guntbert | superjerm: look at your /etc/network/interfaces. the first line *should* say "auto lo", and the second "auto lo inet loopback" (just stolen from LjL :) | 21:39 |
| skyper | Thx Frogzoo ! | 21:39 |
| Slart | zsquareplusc: I've rebooted, logged in/out several times and it still says I've got 4 files in my deleted files folder...*sigh*.. well, thanks for trying =) | 21:39 |
| zsquareplusc | chrisorange2: depends on your IRC client. usually yes | 21:39 |
| longstone | qlovre: you need the uuid of your Windows partition and if it's had0 or sda, else... You can find it out with 'qparted# | 21:40 |

| lovre | how do i locate where is windows? it doesnt seem to be hd0,0 i dont quite understand what that is | 21:40 |
| longstone | your windows partition is ntfs - ubuntu should be on ext3 | 21:41 |
| JoeTheMac | I have a mac mini, HDMI out to my HD LCD TV. When booting into the ubuntu cd for the first time, I get no video, out of range. Just wondering how I can tell ubuntu to try a different resolution without being able to actually SEE anything. | 21:41 |
| ikonia | JoeTheMac: how do you have hdmi out on a mac mini ? | 21:42 |
| superjerm | guntbert yes it has those two...then it goes on with "auto eth0 | iface eth0 inet dhcp | auto eth1 | auto eth2 | auto ath0 | auto wlan0" (with the | representing hard returns) | 21:42 |
| zsquareplusc | chrisorange2: hm. /me is running a different program. maybe you can do it with the /server command | 21:42 |
| ikonia | JoeTheMac: mac mini's don't have hdmi out | 21:42 |

| tony_ | whats the command to upgrade? | 21:46 |
| LjL | tony_: to upgrade what? | 21:47 |
| longstone | @lovre: use a live CD and use 'gparted'. There you see your partitions. | 21:47 |
| Gr33n3gg | tony_: sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:47 |
| Slart | tony_: see message from ubottu a few lines up | 21:47 |
| Flannel | dataflow: They just use your IP address: likely 192.168.X.X (your computers IP on the subnet) | 21:47 |
| shiva | guys how can i change style for kde3 applications on ubuntu intrepid? | 21:47 |
| techII | ok, im running intrepid and 'restricted' drivers device nodes are not showing up, thus they are not working | 21:47 |
| tony_ | Gr33n3gg, i thought it was sudo apt-get upgrade-dist ? | 21:47 |
| diffred | Slart: Thanks, but I would like to see it better (mainly a cool way to simulate the login window) so I can test my GDM themes without login out | 21:47 |
| lusepuster_ | diffred, the app in the system->Admin menu called "login-screen" has previews. They're not full size, but | 21:47 |
| longstone | @lovre: with a live CD you can edit your menu.lst | 21:47 |
| LjL | shiva: installing kcontrol is an option (it might bright in a few kde dependencies though) | 21:47 |

| dataflow | Flannel, i think we are on a UDP address or Mac addr because i don't seem to have an individual IP | 21:48 |
| shiva | LjL, what package should i install to get kcontrol? | 21:48 |
| diffred | there may be some other software | 21:48 |
| lovre | longstone: says gparted not installed, im using kde | 21:48 |
| Slart | diffred: well.. I guess you could run a virtual machine.. and log in/out as much as you want | 21:48 |
| superjerm | guntbert cleaned out, just have two lines now | 21:48 |
| LjL | shiva: err... kcontrol | 21:48 |
| tony_ | LjL, i installed 8.10. do I now type, sudo apt-get update and upgrade? | 21:48 |
| Slart | diffred: I don't know of any other way to see the login screen | 21:48 |
| diffred | Slart: Ok Thanks anyway :) | 21:48 |
| longstone | @lovre: doesn't matter you can run gparted under kubuntu anyway - simply install or use qparted | 21:48 |
| exco | where can I set doubleclick on the program icon to close the window? (using Compiz) | 21:48 |

| dataflow | the ip i use i think is shared by the other computers that are wifi | 21:48 |
| diffred | So anyone knows a program that acts as nest X server? | 21:48 |
| shiva | well i get: No candidate version found for kcontrol | 21:49 |

| faryshta | Hey, can someone help me to compile LimeWire or FrostWire using OpenJDK? | 22:13 |
| PeskyJ | Slart: yeah, the other machine has a much lesser card and it's fine, I thought it might be because it's the 64-bit version or something like that | 22:13 |
| n8tuser | Dabbill-> get the liveCD rom instead | 22:13 |

| yao_ziyuan | my display resolution is 1280x1024, 75Hz | 22:14 |

| faryshta | ubottu, wine can't install MS OFFICE. | 22:14 |

| pw-toxic | techII: not i can hear something ;) | 22:14 |
| angelo_ | Saga, how I install virtualbox on Ubuntu? | 22:14 |
| zsquareplusc | Dabbill: i never used wubi until now. i usually boot from the live cd and run the installer there | 22:14 |
| yao_ziyuan | sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf also has 1280x1024 | 22:14 |
| jgoguen | angelo_: what version of Office and what version of Wine? | 22:14 |
| angelo_ | LjL, I tried. MS Office wont install using Wine | 22:14 |
| faryshta | sorry angelo_ the only way I can imagine is if you place a virtual machine. | 22:14 |
| PeskyJ | Slart: are you on 64-bit ubuntu too? | 22:14 |
| LjL | angelo_: so you tried ALL versions of MS Office? amazing. | 22:15 |

| Dabbill | n8tuser, i have a ubuntu desktop / server running 2500 miles away heh, i want to install for a dual boot on my notebook | 22:17 |
| PeskyJ | Slart: so if we're on the same version and it's fine for you, it must be a graphics driver issue.. probably with firefox or the flash player | 22:17 |
| angelo_ | jgoguen, setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupted or not available. | 22:17 |
| Flannel | !mintsupport | Zemus | 22:17 |

| n8tuser | Dabbill-> make up your mind, you dont want to repartition your laptop but you want dual boot? which one will it be? | 22:17 |
| angelo_ | jgoguen, do I need original CD? | 22:18 |
| Flannel | n8tuser, Dabbill: you can use wubi | 22:18 |
| Slart | PeskyJ: yup.. might be a special issue with the 8200.. don't know that much about it | 22:18 |
| angelo_ | jgoguen, I copied it from CD to folder | 22:18 |

| Slart | PeskyJ: I have an 8800gtx myself | 22:18 |
| Dabbill | n8tuser, with wubi i can dual boot wth out partitioning | 22:18 |
| angelo_ | jgoguen, apt-get install wine | 22:18 |
| LjL | theuniverse: well, you could uninstall those old kernels, for a start | 22:18 |
| Flannel | theuniverse: Remove the packages that correspond to those older kernels in your favorite package manager | 22:18 |
| dataflow | so, when i configure the gateway to port forward webserver stuff to my computer then all I would have to do is type in the IP address of the gateway into the browser and tada... right? | 22:18 |
| * pHro_ slaps dataflow around a bit with a large trout | 22:18 | |
| LjL | theuniverse: but the listings and order is dictated by the file /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:18 |
| jgoguen | angelo_: what is the output of wine --version | 22:18 |
| techII | Dabbill, or virtualbox, vmware, or some other emulator; if you want to go that route | 22:18 |
| zsquareplusc | Dabbill: check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide. | 22:18 |
| n8tuser | Dabbill-> yes, but that would only be a temporary try out kind of thing..not going to be permanent install | 22:18 |
| bakarat | on kubuntu, how does one install support for mp3 etc? | 22:19 |
| Flannel | n8tuser: Its permanent enough | 22:19 |
| techII | bakarat, 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras' in a terminal | 22:19 |

| NekroJakub | How can I make Amarok my default music player in GNOME? It only suggests Rythmbox and Totem... | 22:20 |
| donsdl | <Zemus>: When you connect to xchat, you should be auto connected to Mint IRC channel. Not much going on there, though. | 22:20 |
| matthias_N | ziroday: can i get some wireless help ... | 22:20 |
| Bowtrik | NekroJakub: I think, now I could be wrong, but I think you can change it by using this command "gksudo gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list" and then editing some options. | 22:20 |
| angelo_ | jgoguen, wine is already the newest version. | 22:20 |
| jgoguen | angelo_: go to this page, follow their directions, and then try upgrading Wine: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb | 22:20 |
| angelo_ | jgoguen, ok brb | 22:21 |
| niklaus | angelo_: after installing 'Ubuntu Tweak', you simply click on 'Virtualbox' to download and install it. | 22:21 |
| techII | matthias_N, if you are on one of the newer atheros cards, you can get native drivers for them (unless they just made an even newer one) | 22:21 |
| angelo_ | jgoguen, did you install direct from office CD? | 22:21 |

| ubottu | niklaus: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 22:27 |

| theuniverse | cool | 22:28 |
| Flannel | niklaus: This is an official support channel, and we haven't had a chance to evaluate it yet. But in general, we don't suggest third party addons | 22:28 |

| faryshta | I have a question. I installed Intrepid with the "only free software" option. Is the firmware of such version de-blobed? I mean it have binary blobs on the firmware? | 22:34 |
| ardchoille | mzo: That's my guess, I'm going to wait and see tho. | 22:34 |

| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:35 |

| sebsebseb | Banshee has buggered up big time in my Ibex, it basically crashes after nearlly every now, and I do not know why. I assume it has a profile with my settings like other apps, but it is not as simple as finding a hidden .folder in home. I even reinstalled it, but then of course it has my settings in it from before. Also I am thinking maybe I have to get rid of all of Mono and re install and t hen put Banshee back on, however I am not entirely | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | sure how to do that, because again not just as simple as unstialling one program and any hiden .folder in home for. | 22:42 |

| matthias_N_ | hold on ... | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | en1gma: depends on config of so many things its near impossible to be concrete | 22:52 |
| jgoguen | matthias_N: first, extract the driver using cabextract, run 'ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf', then run 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' and that should work | 22:52 |
| dulak | van: it's like 3.8g max | 22:52 |
| ditch64 | zsquareplusc: well put it this way it does it with every local sound player and everytime i play anything with firefox | 22:52 |
| dulak | van: depends on chipset and such, you'd get most of 4g though | 22:52 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: hold on just tell me how you installed the driver again with ndiswrapper | 22:52 |
| en1gma | im grabbing the 8.10 ubuntustudio will that have the rt kernel | 22:52 |

| zsquareplusc | Slart, van , you can install a 32 bit chroot. so you can run 32 bit tools on your 64 bit machine easily. most 32 bit software also runs on 64 bits once you installed the 32 bit libs (e.g. google earth) | 23:01 |

| van | zsquareplusc: is itbetter to run 32bit with 3GB or 64bit with 4GB ? | 23:02 |
| Slart | van: I would go with 64 bit.. | 23:02 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: seems that ndiswrapper is not working or conflict with ndiskt ? | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | van: both will be fine, 4Gb id run 64bit for deffo | 23:03 |
| ay^ | zsquareplusc: oh, dang cause I would like lm_sensors 3.0.3 but it says its for 2.6.5+ kernel :/ | 23:03 |

| ^Lem^ | Slart: how'd your download go? | 23:04 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: do you have both ... | 23:04 |
| jgoguen | matthias_N_: it won't conflict with ndiswrapper, in fact it requires ndiswrapper to work at all | 23:04 |
| Slart | ^Lem^: almost done.. | 23:04 |
| augie | so I have 3 virtual desktops but prefs->keyboard shortcuts only see 2 | 23:04 |
| joolean | Slart: Just checked, /etc/apt/sources.list seems to be correct. Yes, I can see some packages in synaptic, just not always the ones I would expect: E.g., doing a "quick search" for "guile" turns up "guile-1.8-libs" and NOTHING else | 23:04 |

| van | Is it possible to install the ubuntu 8.10 64 BIT on a 8.04 32BIT? | 23:04 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: OKEY, did you do an upgrade from internet or by cd ... | 23:04 |
| van | wil it be compatible | 23:05 |
| break_free | is there a way I can set compiz to be disabled when on battery power? | 23:05 |
| jgoguen | matthias_N_: only thing I can think of is that your card is one of the few that won't work with ndiswrapper or the new wl driver | 23:05 |
| Slart | van: you can't upgrade to a 64 bit install from a 32 bit, no | 23:05 |
| van | Slart: doh! | 23:05 |
| ^Lem^ | Slart: sweet... is firefox reporting the right stats on the file? i didn't think to check the download progress past 2^32 bytes.. | 23:05 |
| ACSpike[Home] | what package contains the wallpapers? | 23:05 |
| joolean | Slart: huh, this is weird -- they're actually in the "All" filter, they just don't show up under "quick search." Okay, that's good enough for me | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | van: id do a clean install if you are changing installed architecture | 23:05 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: okey well the wireless worked with hardy ... | 23:05 |
| matthias_N_ | at least ... | 23:05 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: at least ... | 23:05 |
| zsquareplusc | lightdragon: wubi install? it creates disk images which you would need to backup | 23:05 |
| nidfar | thanks. ubuntu 8.04 didn't show needing updates on my mother's computer for 78 days. I attempted to make sure the updates were all available, and found none. I then attempted upgrading to 8.10. It stalled out. I ended the upgrade and restarted. Now I keep getting the error message: There is already an x server running on display :0 and nothing I do will get past that. attempted safe mode, no avail. | 23:05 |
| jgoguen | matthias_N_: I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy to Hardy to Intrepid, all during the beta cycles, and all over the Internet, but I just reinstalled Intrepid recently so I could switch to 64-bit | 23:05 |
| Slart | joolean: that seems kind of weird.. there should be several hits for "guile".. I got 20+ | 23:06 |

| lightdragon | zsquareplusc: Thanks, I'll look into that | 23:06 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: i am alstoast sure the ndoswrapper is to blame | 23:07 |
| Slart | ^Lem^: but as soon as it finished.... bad firefox.. bad bad firefox | 23:07 |
| zsquareplusc | nidfar: maybe you can complete the upgrade with apt-get dist-upgrade? | 23:07 |
| === mike is now known as Guest94175 | ||
| jgoguen | matthias_N_: for me, it's all configured automatically, once I load the the wl driver NetworkManager takes over and it Just Works | 23:07 |
| nidfar | zsquareplusc: I can't get to the desktop to do that. | 23:07 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: is there an alternative to ndiswrapper ... | 23:07 |
| zsquareplusc | nidfar: you can do that at the text console | 23:08 |

| tonsxchat | my WM just died but I had gedit open with an unsaved file. gedit is still running (as per ps). Is there a way I can recover what I typed and/or make gedit reappear? | 23:08 |
| jgoguen | matthias_N_: no, if it won't work natively try ndiswrapper...if ndiswrapper doesn't work, you're probably stuck | 23:08 |
| jgoguen | matthias_N_: the one almost everyone should be using is NetworkManager, it's an icon near your clock | 23:09 |
| zsquareplusc | nidfar: doesn't matter how you boot. you can get to a text mode login with ctrl+alt+F1 | 23:09 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: i guess i need to reinstall from scratch | 23:09 |
| nidfar | zsquareplusc: then merely type taht command to see if it works that way? | 23:09 |
| joolean | Slart: for the moment, yeah. Thanks for hand-holding. I'll poke it a little more and if it looks truly screwy I'll post something on launchpad | 23:09 |
| jgoguen | matthias_N_: I would suggest staying with Hardy, it's a LTS release so it'll be supported for a long time...I've heard that not all wireless works with Intrepid | 23:09 |
| unlink | fwiw, i'm using metacity, and not compiz | 23:09 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: i have just the computer screens and bluetooth and the trashbin on the other side of the watvch' | 23:09 |
| unlink | 8.10 | 23:09 |
| zsquareplusc | nidfar: you can log in there and then run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". | 23:10 |
| Slart | joolean: I don't think this one will set the world on fire.. the downloaded file seems alright.. it's probably just the text in the download manager that is wrong | 23:10 |
| Slart | joolean: but it's a bug never the less | 23:10 |
| unlink | alt-f2 works fine, and so does ctrl-alt-f1 | 23:10 |
| matthias_N_ | jgoguen: but hardy is taking all cpu power when i am watching movies ... | 23:10 |
| jgoguen | matthias_N_: the computer screens is the NetworkManager icon...it looks like that when you're using a cable, and it looks like 4 bars on wireless | 23:10 |

| zsquareplusc | owen1: you could use the preferences->screen resolution tool from the menu? | 23:12 |

| goacide | i find this odd | 23:34 |
| Slart | mastrgamr: there is a free version for windows too | 23:34 |
| swegner | zsquareplusc: Yes, that's the screen I'm looking at. But which key do I add here? If I go into "Passwords and Encryption Keys", and export the public key to my PGP signature, is that what I use? | 23:35 |
| zsquareplusc | cmdbbq: i also had no sound until i selected ALSA: fromt as output. but it works without freezes otheriwse | 23:35 |
| shadowwulf | anybody have a AMD dual core system here having or had issues running ubuntu 8.10 ? | 23:35 |
| zsquareplusc | swegner: i think so. if you used this key to sign your packages | 23:35 |
| mastrgamr | i havent | 23:35 |
| shadowwulf | mine will not boot to a log in screen | 23:36 |
| cmdbbq | zsquareplusc: i had no sound under ALSA | 23:36 |
| cmdbbq | :P | 23:36 |
| cmdbbq | go figure | 23:36 |
| swegner | zsquareplusc: Yes, I'm fairly sure this is the one I used. I just tried adding it to the Software Sources, and it appears to have accepted it. I'll have to upload a new package to actually see if it works. Thanks for the help. | 23:36 |
| panfist | hi, i have no sound in 8.04 from my onboard sound over analog or HDMI. everything looks like it was detected and installed properly | 23:36 |
| Snappl | if i just installed Ubuntu, are there any apps or anyhing that you guys recommend i get? | 23:37 |
| zsquareplusc | cmdbbq: anyway. vlc can also transcode media files. i guess you could use it to extract audio only too | 23:38 |
| swegner | Snappl: It really depends on your needs. Is there any particular software from your old OS which you're trying to emulate? | 23:38 |
| cmdbbq | Snappl many, how long have you got;) | 23:38 |
| Snappl | not really.. | 23:38 |
| Home_ | what is the location and name of the file where you can add apps to start at boot? | 23:38 |
| Snappl | i'm just interested in what you guys thuink are useful programs | 23:38 |
| tonsxchat | Home_: init.d and rc.d are what you're after | 23:38 |
| Snappl | All i've got is Wine, because i came form windows.. | 23:38 |
| tonsxchat | Snappl: what windows programs did you use a lot? | 23:38 |
| Home_ | tonsxchat, thanks :) | 23:38 |
| cmdbbq | vlc is a great media player, abiword is a lightly featured but extremely quick word processor | 23:38 |
| BrickHaus | pangloss: you here? | 23:39 |
| === Home_ is now known as voox | ||
| tonsxchat | Home_: read the manpages though | 23:39 |
| === voox is now known as voox_x | ||
| swegner | Snappl: well, like I said, it depends on your needs and what you're used it. For example, I always install the application launch gnome-do, which is similar to Launchy for Windows. | 23:39 |
| MacGyverNL | Can the ubuntu live CD's write to an existing NTFS partition ootb, or does it require remounting those partitions as rw? | 23:39 |
| BrickHaus | pangloss: I added you to the bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/296045 | 23:39 |
| Snappl | well, i need to know about getting Itunes... And that's about it.. | 23:39 |
| Snappl | i'll look into VLC, but i needs my ipod support | 23:39 |
| shadowwulf | banshee | 23:39 |
| shadowwulf | i think thats a itune clone | 23:40 |
| cmdbbq | Snappl: just browsing through the forums, or Applications>Add/Remove Programs | 23:40 |
| cmdbbq | could give you a place to start | 23:40 |
| charles | Hello folks. I'm brand new to Ubuntu and would really appreciate some help regarding a technical issue. | 23:40 |
| Snappl | mm hmm | 23:40 |
| zsquareplusc | !ask | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:40 |
| jseamus | i have a problem, need help. | 23:40 |
| BrickHaus | pangloss: thanks for all your help. That last link you sent didn't help. In that instance his/her eth interface atleast showed up in ifconfig. For me it doesn't. | 23:40 |
| cmdbbq | rhythmbox, installed by default, should handle your iPod, there is a plugin which you can find in the edit menu | 23:41 |
| winferno | charles, Just ask your question, since it's a busy channel. If someone can help they probably will. =) | 23:41 |
| charles | I've just installed 8.10 on one of my machines. I can see my external network drive and I can open the root directory of it but as soon as I try to open a folder on it, it kicks me out and send me to my /home directory on my local machine | 23:41 |
| jseamus | whenever i attempt to open Home Folder, it wont open and nothing else will. all objects on the desktop disappear. | 23:42 |
| outerspace142857 | anyone know why Anjuta will compile, but won't run execute program? | 23:42 |
| shadowwulf | can anybody tell me why i cant use ubuntu 8.10 on my AMD64 dualcore ? i have a boot screen that looks scrambled ... and if i do get to the desktop it is blank or black and have no icons | 23:42 |
| charles | I have another machine running 8.04 and it works perfectly. | 23:42 |
| enunes | Hi, i've run lockfile-remove in some file that was blocking my apt-get calls. Now my systeem won't boot neither shutdown. The leds never turn off. Anyone has a clue? | 23:42 |
| === ogre is now known as pyrohotdog | ||
| winferno | charles: oh strange... is this using NFS or Samba? It sounds like a permission problem at first glance. | 23:43 |
| zsquareplusc | jseamus: sounds like nautils us crashing.. | 23:43 |
| charles | I can access all the shared resources on my winidows machines. It's just the external drive that's giving me an issue | 23:43 |
| pyrohotdog | Is it possible to connect to two wireless networks at once? Via onboard wireless, and usb wireless? | 23:43 |
| jseamus | zsquareplusc: how do i fix it? | 23:43 |
| charles | I beleive it's using Samba. | 23:43 |
| jkinney | Hello all... hoping a command line / background process guru is waiting out there to help me :-D | 23:43 |
| augie | hey guys, if I want to program in c what should I install? ( I just need gcc and vim) | 23:44 |
| charles | Interestingly, I can access it as an ftp but not smb | 23:44 |
| jkinney | I keep needing to reboot my machine to be able to ssh or ftp (web front end works just fine all the time but external access keeps getting denied) | 23:44 |
| EvanCarroll | How do I disable modelines? I don't have a single idea wtf they are comming from, this bulletproof-x without a conf setup sucks. | 23:44 |
| charles | Any thoughts? | 23:45 |
| zsquareplusc | jseamus: thats a different problem... maybe you can find a bug report on launchpad.net regarding nautilus that is similar to your problem | 23:45 |
| winferno | When you say it kicks you out, how are you accessing it then? | 23:45 |
| winferno | charles: | 23:45 |
| charles | yes winferno? | 23:45 |
| jseamus | zsquareplusc: thnx. ciao. | 23:45 |
| Datamin | hi | 23:46 |
| Datamin | i have ubuntu 8.10, how do i upgrade wine to the newest version (my acual ver. is 1.01) | 23:46 |
| colton | How could I find a chatroom which focuses on just mysql??? | 23:46 |
| charles | I can go to network, I can see the extrnal drive, and I can open it. I then see the public folder (the only folder in the root directory) but I can't open that folder. | 23:46 |
| jkinney | anyone know where I could look besides /etc/hosts.deny? | 23:47 |
| TiMiDo | charles, install samba | 23:47 |
| TiMiDo | jkinney, iptables? | 23:47 |
| jkinney | when I repeatedly can't access my machine without rebooting it | 23:47 |
| shadowwulf | anybody that can help me with AMD64 issues ? | 23:47 |
| charles | winferno: It's installed and seems to be working flawlessly to access all my other windows machines. | 23:47 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: I don't have iptables installed... though I did at one point | 23:47 |
| TiMiDo | shadowwulf, #ubuntu-amd64 | 23:47 |
| lightdragon | zsquareplusc: Thanks again... this seems to answer my dilemma! | 23:47 |
| colton | hello | 23:47 |
| jgoguen | !anyone | shadowwulf | 23:47 |
| ubottu | shadowwulf: 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? | 23:47 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: I also had denyhosts installed but that is no longer insatlled either | 23:48 |
| TiMiDo | jkinney, try looking around. something like iptables | 23:48 |
| winferno | charles: I'd double check the permission settings. I forget where samba looks for that though. | 23:48 |
| charles | winferno: As i say, I can see the root directory, just can't go deeper than that | 23:48 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: but clearly something is remaining from either one of those IDS's that is causing probs | 23:48 |
| pyrohotdog | Can I connect to two wireless networks simultaneously with my onboard card and usb adapter? | 23:48 |
| kicco | how reliable is memtest? | 23:48 |
| Flannel | TiMiDo, shadowwulf: That channel doesn't exist. This is the proper channel. | 23:48 |
| winferno | charles: can you read or write from the root that you have mounted on the remote machine? | 23:48 |
| Flannel | colton: ##mysql | 23:48 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: I know that iptables can prevent my access (As can hosts.deny) but as I've said, neither of those are currently the root cause | 23:48 |
| TiMiDo | okey Flannel | 23:48 |
| KristieTS | would someone be able to help me get pidging running? i tried to start it, but nothing happens | 23:49 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: a search for iptables (locate iptables) or or | 23:49 |
| RoosterJuice | is there a way to make apt-get get all the dependencies before it gets the app | 23:49 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: or a which iptables yields nothing | 23:49 |
| zsquareplusc | kicco: it did not find bugy RAM on the other box that was crashing... while load tests such as prime95 found ram problems | 23:49 |
| KristieTS | i tried both running Pidgin from the icon and from the terminal, and nothing :( | 23:49 |
| TiMiDo | jkinney: ic. | 23:49 |
| charles | winferno: there's the smb.conf file. I've run a conparison between that file in 8.10 and the same file in 8.04 and there doesn't seem to b a difference. | 23:49 |
| winferno | pyrohotdog: I don't see why not, but I dunno if the GUI tools support that. If you're just using iwconfig to set up the wireless cards it should work fine. | 23:49 |
| TiMiDo | jkinney: have you check youre router firewall perhaps? | 23:49 |
| shadowwulf | can somebody help me with amd64 issues in 8.10 .. i can boot live CD .. but when installed will not make it to the log in screen | 23:49 |
| colton | #mysql | 23:49 |
| colton | mysql | 23:50 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: like an external hardware router or firewall? | 23:50 |
| colton | I don't get it, is it magic? | 23:50 |
| TiMiDo | right jkinney | 23:50 |
| augie | does vim-common contain the normal vim? | 23:50 |
| charles | winferno: I agree that it looks like a permission issue but I'm at a loss on how to correct it. | 23:50 |
| EvanCarroll | shadowwulf: don't use the amd64 version unless you can ask a question that doesn't suck. | 23:50 |
| TiMiDo | augie: yeah | 23:50 |
| colton | do I just type mysql? | 23:50 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: yea, that wouldn't be it since I have several other machines behind the same PIX that don't exibit the prob | 23:50 |
| kicco | zsquareplusc: you are everywhere! tnx. this f#@$r hangs randomly even when booting from a liveCD | 23:50 |
| augie | TiMiDo, ok, do I install build-essential to get gcc? | 23:50 |
| snowrichard | /join #mysql | 23:50 |
| winferno | charles: you might want to search smb.conf for any occurances of a machine name or IP. It might be allowing only the other machine you *can* access the share from. | 23:50 |
| TiMiDo | augie: sudo apt-get install gcc | 23:51 |
| charles | winferno: Can I read or write.... ? I'll try. | 23:51 |
| yao_ziyuan | it is still not obvious how to change workspace number in ubuntu | 23:51 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: They all have the same ports opeoned and we don't do any blocking (at least dynamically) at the firewall level | 23:51 |
| shadowwulf | well i am using a 32bit OS on a amd64 ... how else should ask a sucky question then ? | 23:51 |
| yao_ziyuan | how ? | 23:51 |
| === qbmaniac is now known as qb|cafe | ||
| TiMiDo | jkinney: but double check. | 23:51 |
| winferno | charles: I ask because if you can, I'd say you can more or less rule out a network problem. | 23:51 |
| charles | winferno: okay. I'll look for that. | 23:51 |
| EvanCarroll | shadowwulf: so, use a 32bit os on an amd64. | 23:51 |
| shadowwulf | i did and i get the same thing | 23:51 |
| abizmol | [1425558.800453] tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6 | 23:51 |
| abizmol | But I have no tun0 | 23:51 |
| sjoerd | 23:51 | |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: It just doesn't make sense to be anything but a sofware issue with my ubuntu. How else would rebooting the machine allow me to re-connect with everything else being exactly the same time | 23:52 |
| icheishvili | does anyone know why firefox performs so poorly on ubuntu? | 23:52 |
| Flannel | shadowwulf: That's likely not a processor issue at all. Likely graphics card related. | 23:52 |
| TiMiDo | jkinney: try rebooting. | 23:52 |
| cylux | Hey guys, so I upgraded to intrepid. The problem is, on the GDM login screen, I can hear the drum sound clearly, but within Gnome, no sound works. Any ideas? | 23:52 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: And I don't have admin access to our PIX to check anyway :-) | 23:52 |
| zsquareplusc | abizmol: you also need to run a command line tool to install tun devices | 23:52 |
| EvanCarroll | shadowwulf: What I'm trying to get it, as "doesn't work" is never going to help you make it work. | 23:52 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: rebooting what? | 23:52 |
| TiMiDo | jkinney: youre machine | 23:52 |
| colton | So I put "$ping 'address'" in the console and still, after 5 minutes, it is still pinging. how do I stop it? | 23:52 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: rebooting my ubuntu machine lets me back in as I've said | 23:52 |
| abizmol | zsquareplusc, I'm using tunctl. But it only seems to create tap devices. Which one do I need to use? | 23:52 |
| shadowwulf | how i i find that out ? it seems 8.04 works fine .. and when i did upgrade ... it failed to run ...... | 23:53 |
| icheishvili | i'm not talking about the ipv6 thing, I always turn that off--but rendering speeds in general (like scrolling a page) are just way slower than on my windows box | 23:53 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: but then after a few hours like 8 or so it locks me out and required another reboot | 23:53 |
| cylux | colton: CTRL+C | 23:53 |
| kicco | colton: CRTL+C | 23:53 |
| winferno | shadowwulf: What EvanCarroll means to say is the you weren't very specific about describing your problem. | 23:53 |
| cylux | =] | 23:53 |
| kicco | dehihi | 23:53 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: and during that time I've had zero failed login attempts | 23:53 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: my hosts.deny is free and clear | 23:53 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: I just don't know where else to check | 23:53 |
| cylux | colton: Instead try ping -c 3 address It'll only run three times | 23:53 |
| SnelGids | hey guys | 23:53 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: I looked through the cron folders and jobs and didn't see anything, though I didn't really know what I was looking for | 23:53 |
| charles | winferno: I can't write to the root directory of the external drive. I get an error saying "not supported by backend" | 23:53 |
| cylux | Hey guys, so I upgraded to intrepid. The problem is, on the GDM login screen, I can hear the drum sound clearly, but within Gnome, no sound works. Any ideas? | 23:53 |
| augie | TiMiDo, I just installed build-essential and it has more than what I need, thx | 23:54 |
| shadowwulf | ok, i have a 32bit OS that works in Live CD, but when installed goes to a scrambled screen and i can not log in | 23:54 |
| zsquareplusc | abizmol: that is it. i think that should create tun0 etc devices | 23:54 |
| sdkochman | register sidisok | 23:54 |
| colton | I'm afraid that due to extranious circumstances (that is, I set the hot key ctrl-c to a different function) that is not going to work. What else could I do? | 23:54 |
| kicco | cylux: volume? | 23:54 |
| abizmol | zsquareplusc, It doesn't. Hence the problem | 23:54 |
| SnelGids | how do i bott ubuntu right off my memory stick without actually having to install it on my PC ? | 23:54 |
| charles | So i can see the root directory but can't do anything with it. | 23:54 |
| cylux | kicco: Up | 23:54 |
| SnelGids | boot* | 23:54 |
| icheishvili | also, it always hovers around 20% cpu usage, even when doing nothing | 23:54 |
| kicco | cylux: tried alsamixer from terminal? | 23:54 |
| zsquareplusc | colton: kill -sigint <procid> in an other shell | 23:54 |
| cylux | kicco: I haven't good call. | 23:54 |
| icheishvili | so yeah, it definitely feels like firefox is a second-class citizen on linux | 23:55 |
| cylux | kicco: alsamixer doesn't even work. It's all blue | 23:55 |
| spiritssight | I need help with a setup, I am creating three parts, I don't know for sure what settings t6o use for them | 23:55 |
| SnelGids | which ubuntu version should i get in order to boot directly off my Memory Stick ?? | 23:55 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: Any other thoughts as to where I could look that relates to sshd or ftp that would cause me to not be able to connect? | 23:55 |
| SnelGids | which ubuntu version should i get in order to boot directly off my Memory Stick ?? | 23:55 |
| kicco | cylux: mmh... that's weird | 23:55 |
| SnelGids | which ubuntu version should i get in order to boot directly off my Memory Stick ?? | 23:55 |
| zsquareplusc | SnelGids: stop spamming | 23:55 |
| jkinney | TiMiDo: The weird thing is that my webapps that are being served with ubuntu are still live and fine when i'm denied access (maybe not weird, but interesting to note) | 23:56 |
| SnelGids | aren't you guys suppose to help ?? | 23:56 |
| SnelGids | plusc | 23:56 |
| zsquareplusc | SnelGids: the desktop live cd has a installer that can create bootable USB sticks | 23:56 |

| kicco | cylux: from terminal try to give "cat /bin/bash > /dev/dsp" (stop with CTRL+C) you should hear some awful sounds | 23:56 |
| bennymack1 | So, I see that apt-cache has an -installed flag, but what about showing packages that are not installed? | 23:56 |
| icheishvili | and that is just wrong | 23:56 |
| winferno | charles: you may want to set up another share on the same machine that's not on an external drive, in a low-risk directory, then turn off all security on the share (there are some examples in smb.conf), and see if that works. If it does, you can work backward from there. | 23:56 |
| cylux | kicco: bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy | 23:57 |
| winferno | charles: and by low risk I mean, no important files there. | 23:57 |
| icheishvili | oh, I should also mention that my hardware is pretty good too, this is best box I have | 23:57 |

| zsquareplusc | SnelGids: the desaktop live cd is the normal CD that most users get. boot it on a PC. then you can go to system->admin->create usb disk | 23:58 |
