| kicco | /dev/dsp is owned by audio group, should someone be part of it to use audio? | 00:00 |
| zsquareplusc | SnelGids: you could download and burn the iso image and then boot form it? an other way would be booting the iso image in virtualbox or some other virtual machine that supports USB | 00:00 |
| shadowwulf | boot the live CD and you will be able to make install from the live CD | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | colton: see my private message | 00:00 |

| MTraf | Hi, I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I am using ubuntu 8.10 with all the latest updates. I am trying to get Python and opengl working. I downloaded an example which works on other computers running fedora but when ran on my laptop i get "Segmentation fault" any help would be appreciated. | 00:03 |
| evan_ | where can i find and edit http headers>? | 00:03 |
| zsquareplusc | SnelGids: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ may work too. but i did not try out this one personally | 00:03 |
| charles | Winferno: Not sure how to do that but I'll look through the examples. I can access all the shared directories/files on my windows machines without any problem from my Linux 810 machine. I just can't access the external network drive. It's weird. | 00:03 |

| SnelGids | zsquareplusc, what if i do what i said above, plug in my usb disk to my notebook and through my notebook settings i select "boot" and select boot from usb stick | 00:04 |

| pengo | joebodo: yeah, the poor multiple monitor support is a show stopper for me. i've been running ubuntu for over a year, but it's just too horrible to use with 2 screens. | 00:04 |
| BrickHaus | kicco: You might be able to look at your user by going to System>Administration>Users and Groups>Unlock. Highlight your user then click on properties. Check to see if adding to an audio group helps. This is just a guess but might be worth trying.. | 00:04 |

NFS mounting is NOT the problem here. indeed the problem is, ... | 00:22 |
| scott_ | juank: ask your question and maybe someone can answer it | 00:23 |

| snip3r | well i get this when i try to install "windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation" what is wrong or what am i doing wrong? | 00:25 |
| schmoop | does anyone know how to mount an et3 driver from windows. the catch is that is is a REAL raid array and when i install ifs-driver it sees the drive but wants to format it when i know it is already formated | 00:25 |
| cylux | Hey guys. I am on intrepid and I get sound working on the GDM login screen (I hear the drum) but within Gnome after I log in, my sound doesn't work. | 00:25 |

| snip3r | well which one should i go to so that i may get some answers? | 00:26 |
| zsquareplusc | evan_: that probably means that this option is only allowed in .htaccess files | 00:26 |
| Cpudan80 | schmoop: You might be able to hit it via a SMB share | 00:27 |
| zsquareplusc | schmoop: there are ext2 drivers out there, that should also be able to read from ext3 | 00:27 |
| evan_ | zsquareplusc: how do i make one? | 00:27 |
| Cpudan80 | schmoop: and then map the network share | 00:27 |
| joebodo | scott_ thx for the link | 00:27 |
| CelticLord | nuit!! | 00:27 |
| lovre | cylux: im not on gnome atm, but i remember a sound settings somewhere, maybe System->Something, and you should switch everything there to Alsa | 00:27 |
| Cpudan80 | schmoop: ask ##windows | 00:27 |
| cylux | lovre: The problem is with pulseaudio, I know it | 00:27 |
| schmoop | i have IFS driver isntalled... but my fear is that since it is raid that it isn't readying it right | 00:28 |
| lovre | cylux: so kill pulseaudio | 00:28 |
| snip3r | is this or is this not the right forum to have my installation questions answered?? | 00:28 |
| scott_ | joebodo: did you have any initial problems with enabling desktop effects after upgrading? | 00:28 |
| zsquareplusc | evan_: maybe ask in #apache. .htaccess files are just like the other config files, but per folder. | 00:28 |

| damaltor | hello everybody. i have the following problem: i have lots of music on an external hdd (like 100 gb). i want to have this disk plugged into my "server" computer wich is on 24/7, because i use a notebook for daily work. i want to listen to the music preferably with amarok. so i mounted the filesystem of the external disk on the server via NFS onto my notebook, wich works quite well. NFS mounting is NOT the problem here. indeed the problem is, ... | 00:36 |
| Shane7x | is it not showing the top bar? | 00:36 |
| damaltor | ... amarok does loads of I/O on the files it is using, wich noticeably slows my system because everything goes via network. is there a more efficient way to bring amarok to files on another computer in network? or a more efficient, but nevertheless luxourious way (like amarok is =) for listening tu music via network? | 00:36 |
| Spets | AlanBShepard70: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/category/folding/ | 00:36 |

| Hilton | I'm thinking I put the wrong hdd in...but I don't think so. | 01:12 |
| DasEi | spolvid: , (hd0,4) would be the same thing as /dev/sda5 | 01:12 |
| voconohlinux | alright... network problems... eth0 will not connect plugged directly in switch | 01:12 |
| === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond | ||
| zsquareplusc | Hilton: usually, wondows is booted by "chainloading" the windows bootloader | 01:12 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux, what does sudo dhclient eth0 return (do NOT paste here) | 01:12 |
| DarkKnight | bazhang, ardchoille...the problem is not only with flv....but also with avi.....hey i had the movies...just a few days back wen i watched them...they wer alright....but since the problem has started it appears in that way...before it was fine...so its not problem with the videos....maybe some package....i also downloaded yesterday obama's speech from youtube....wen i watch it on the youtube site..it appears fyn....but wen i downloaded nd watched it... | 01:13 |
| DarkKnight | .it..the problem is still ther | 01:13 |
| spolvid | DasEi: So if I want to get to /dev/sda4, the default GRUB root drive should be (hd0,3). | 01:13 |
| DasEi | tommorris:you installed both as dualboot with separate partis ? | 01:13 |
| bazhang | DarkKnight, try miro; flv will never look good with any player | 01:13 |
| DasEi | spolvid: , yup, assuming its only one drive or the right one is chosen | 01:13 |
| spolvid | DasEi: Right? | 01:13 |
| ardchoille | DarkKnight: please don't do that, it isn't necessary to hilight people every few minutes | 01:14 |
| spolvid | DasEi: Ok, thanks. | 01:14 |
| tommorris | DasEi: nope, the Grub menu offers me a choice of which kernel I want to boot. If I choose 2.6.27-7 (the default), it panics | 01:14 |
| DarkKnight | ardchoille;;; sorry then..... | 01:14 |
| voconohlinux | bazhang no working leases in persistent database | 01:14 |
| Hilton | zsquareplusc: There is a "chainloader +1" line... but like I said, I think I set the wrong drive in the 'root' line. I'll look into it when I can get on the computer again. | 01:14 |
| tommorris | if I choose 24-21 or 24-19, it boots. | 01:14 |
| Hilton | BBL. | 01:15 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux, is this through a router or straight to the dsl modem | 01:15 |
| DarkKnight | ardchoille;;; i deidnt mean to...i thought maybe even u could help me.. | 01:15 |
| DasEi | tommorris:how did you install ibex after having hardy ? | 01:15 |
| voconohlinux | through a router | 01:15 |
| voconohlinux | i get dhcp address on wlan0 | 01:15 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux, did you boot with ethernet attached | 01:15 |
| ardchoille | DarkKnight: I don't use sound or video on any of my machines | 01:15 |
| voconohlinux | no... is that the whole problem | 01:15 |
| tommorris | DasEi: initialy using the menu in GNOME. somehow X crashed in the middle of it, so I restarted my box, and finished it up using update manager from the shell | 01:15 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux, and you are already using wireless? | 01:15 |
| voconohlinux | yes | 01:16 |
| groundup | I was just in the middle of a conversation on Skype when I noticed my time was off from back home. I downloaded the NTP update via the clock and all of a sudden my inboard mic stopped working. | 01:16 |
| bazhang | no wonder | 01:16 |
| voconohlinux | what? | 01:16 |
| DarkKnight | ardchoille;; not necessary..but if u know how to solve the problem...then u cn./// | 01:16 |
| droopsta915 | im trying to install ubuntu on an old laptop, i get an error. (Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0, what can I do to continue | 01:16 |
| bazhang | DarkKnight, get miro | 01:16 |
| DasEi | tommorris:so it was a dist-upgrade and no additional install from own ibex cd ? | 01:16 |
| bazhang | DarkKnight, your video card and flv will never make video look very good. | 01:16 |
| voconohlinux | what do i have to do to get wlan0 and eth0 to work at same time | 01:17 |
| DarkKnight | bazhang..yes it ther in the repos...i m downloading it.... | 01:17 |
| joebodo | droopsta915 fd0 - floppy ? maybe disable floppy in bios | 01:17 |
| zsquareplusc | droopsta915: unless you're using the floppy try disabling it in the bios | 01:17 |

| Eric2 | Hello | 01:17 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux, from two different isp's? | 01:17 |
| tommorris | I've just booted on the .24 option on GRUB - gdb is not accepting any keyboard input, so I Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login at shell. nothing beyond the basics work though | 01:17 |
| voconohlinux | no, same isp | 01:18 |
| zsquareplusc | R0b0t1: the application is called "gedit" but i cant help you any further on that topic | 01:18 |
| tommorris | R0b0t1: <flippantAnswer>Use vim!</flippantAnswer> | 01:18 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux, then you cant | 01:18 |
| DarkKnight | bazhang...but i think.u didnt get wat i said......i said that the videos which i saw a few days back wer alright...but wen i watch the same videos now...the problem makes me unable 2 watch them | 01:18 |

| Eric2 | using the private file system is there a way to make it not automaticaly mount the "private" partition? | 01:18 |
| DasEi | tommorris:so it was a dist-upgrade and no additional install from own ibex, please answer this quest | 01:18 |
| bazhang | DarkKnight, I know the problem; I have given you a solution-->that intel integrated video card is just not that good. | 01:19 |

| joebodo | tony have you tried system->administration->hardware drivers ? | 01:19 |
| kicco | ufff. grub gives me error 15 after a semi/broken installation... is "reinstall!" the right answer? | 01:19 |

| bazhang | kicco, fix grub | 01:20 |
| zsquareplusc | kicco: probably the easiest. but oyu can also boot live cd and reinstall grub on your hard drive | 01:20 |
| Eric2 | yes but once i log in there is always the private partition symbol on my desktop | 01:20 |
| tony_ | joebodo, it only says wireless in system->administration->hardware drivers! nothing about video drivers | 01:20 |
| DasEi | tommorris:I'm not sure if a chroot from hardy (as they use the same / work then, I think you'll got to use the ibex installer cd and then use this for a repair - update/rebuild initramfs and update/grade from a chroot hell | 01:20 |
| bazhang | !grub | kicco | 01:20 |
| pangloss | R0b0t1: does the file end in .cpp ? | 01:20 |

| R0b0t1 | CheesyWeasel: Then it will work fine :) | 01:21 |

| voconohlinux_ | bazhang... i can't have 2 ip addresses when sitting behind my own router? | 01:35 |
| bazhang | !webcam | Guest26592 | 01:35 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux_, sure you can | 01:35 |
| karsten | panfist: Among other things: check your mixer levels. Either your GUI mixer / audio panel app, or run aumix. | 01:35 |
| crweb | is anyone else having problems with cdrom not staying ejected. I can barely get a disc in and out with ubuntu running? | 01:35 |
| After_Math | fdisk -l | 01:35 |
| voconohlinux_ | how? | 01:35 |
| After_Math | woops :) | 01:35 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux_, on two computers | 01:35 |
| damaltor | usser: is it a problem that there are several apache servers running on that computer? | 01:35 |
| turtle_ | how do I use the console to test my connection speed/ | 01:35 |
| DasEi | bazhang : was for info only | 01:35 |
| arooni | once i have openjdk-6-doc installed on ubuntu hardy... how do i access it? | 01:36 |
| panfist | karsten i have been messing with mixer settings all weekend. i have tried sending audio over HDMI and analog. i havent been able to successfully install any drivers besides those that were installed during the ubuntu installation | 01:36 |
| karsten | panfist: You do have sound at startup? | 01:36 |
| bazhang | DasEi, please use the topic command or just say yes to him | 01:36 |
| voconohlinux_ | .... this is the source of dispair... how can i run vm's on separate vlan and still get internet access to ubuntu laptop? | 01:36 |
| usser | damaltor, maybe... if u already have apache theres no need to install tomcat | 01:36 |
| DasEi | bazhang : ok | 01:36 |
| damaltor | usser: telnet: could not resolve localhost:8180/telnet: Name or service not known | 01:37 |
| karsten | panfist: Does your user belong to the 'audio' group? Can root run sound programs? | 01:37 |
| usser | damaltor, if u know how to setup virtualhosts in apache it shouldnt be a problem | 01:37 |
| usser | damaltor, telnet localhost:8180 | 01:37 |
| panfist | karsten i am using 8.04 server 64 bit. before the splash screen i see some startup text scrolling by and i can hear an audible hiss during this part of the boot, and then no other sound | 01:37 |
| tony_ | I have a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M. anyone know how I can install drivers for it? | 01:37 |
| karsten | voconohlinux_: virtual bridging, being the short answer. | 01:37 |
| meoblast001 | question | 01:37 |
| usser | damaltor, from the server itself | 01:37 |
| damaltor | usser: thought about that... can you tell me how to put subsonic into a apache-ish environment? | 01:37 |
| pangloss | !ask | meoblast001 | 01:37 |
| ubottu | meoblast001: 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. :-) | 01:37 |
| meoblast001 | my proftp server only works when im connecting from my house | 01:37 |
| panfist | karsten i have not tried running any sound programs as root, so far i have just been testing in system>preferences>sound | 01:37 |
| karsten | panfist: That hiss may not be system sound. | 01:37 |
| damaltor | usser: that was a connection from the server itself | 01:38 |
| meoblast001 | even if its on my public IP address.. but not from out of my house | 01:38 |
| voconohlinux_ | alright, setting up bridging for virtualbox took close to an hour... how do i set up virtual bridging | 01:38 |
| panfist | karsten well if my analog cables between speaker and motherboard are not plugged in i dont hear it | 01:38 |
| karsten | panfist: I generally install 'sox' which includes the 'play' command. That should be able to play any sound file. | 01:38 |
| karsten | panfist: Hrm. | 01:38 |
| bobbob1016 | I'm trying to get WoW working with wine. I managed to get it working fine, but the mouse cursor doesn't show up, anyone have this issue? | 01:38 |
| pangloss | meoblast001: is your modem set to port forward? | 01:38 |
| meoblast001 | yes | 01:38 |
| usser | damaltor, oh my bad telnet localhost 8180 | 01:38 |
| usser | damaltor, sorry | 01:38 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux_, this is for vbox? why did you not mention that earlier? | 01:38 |
| panfist | karsten how would i add myself to the audio group | 01:38 |
| damaltor | usser: aah ok =) | 01:38 |
| DasEi | tony_: for hardy I could help, but not for ibex yet | 01:38 |
| pangloss | meoblast001: does your ftp server use dydns? | 01:39 |
| meoblast001 | pangloss: like i said.. even if i use my public ip address.. it still works at my house... just not outside my house | 01:39 |
| voconohlinux_ | yes for vbox... i haven't figured out how to bridge connections for vmware player so i went and tried vbox | 01:39 |
| karsten | panfist: sudo adduser <your user ID> audio | 01:39 |
| === Cameron` is now known as Cameron | ||
| karsten | panfist: Log off and back in for it to take effect. | 01:39 |
| voconohlinux_ | i'd rather be using my vmware appliances, but don't know how to set up networking with ubuntu OS | 01:39 |
| meoblast001 | pangloss: if i connect to ftp.mysticgalaxies.com:8081 from my house.. it works... if i connect to ftp.mysticgalaxies.com:8081 from another house.. it wont work.. is it because of a lag or something? | 01:39 |
| panfist | karsten i am already a member of the audio group, so that's not the issue | 01:39 |
| meoblast001 | pangloss: it even gets to the point of asking for the password | 01:39 |
| bazhang | voconohlinux_, that is a whole different story than just a single computer with two ip addresses | 01:39 |
| karsten | panfist: Ok. | 01:40 |
| karsten | panfist: You've read the audio factoid? | 01:40 |
| pangloss | meoblast001: hm wierd | 01:40 |
| damaltor | usser: no html code... just nothing :/ | 01:40 |
| karsten | panfist: Gotta split. | 01:40 |

| voconohlinux_ | eh...?! any help with getting vm's for vmware player to get network access would be appreciated... otherwise i might have to go back to microsoft for virtual pc | 01:41 |
| colton | Hi, how could I run a program in the console if I dont know its name? | 01:41 |
| CheesyWeasel | it wont run this java applet. | 01:41 |
| Flannel | colton: Find out its name | 01:41 |
| damaltor | usser: yes it is. | 01:41 |
| Dominik1 | I can not change brightness, please help. Laptop: Sony Vaio VGN-CR507E, Fn key doesn't work, brightness applet doesn't work, xbacklight doesn't work | 01:41 |
| pangloss | colton: you cant | 01:41 |
| voconohlinux_ | or vmware player on xp | 01:41 |
| Flannel | colton: Do you know what it might be? or what it starts with? | 01:41 |
| damaltor | usser: i have apache managed with ispconfig, so vhosts are no real problems i think. | 01:41 |
| colton | For instance "f-spot photo manager" how in the world could I find the name that I would type in? | 01:41 |
| pangloss | colton: google | 01:42 |
| colton | is it like: "fspotphotoManager" or fspot manager | 01:42 |
| obiwan177 | colton: i would try something like "fspot" | 01:42 |
| Flannel | colton: Or have an icon somewhere for it? Ah, you can look at the link in the menu, or just try stuff. tab completion comes in handy here. (type something, hit tab twice, see what the options are) | 01:42 |
| usser | damaltor, hang on, are u sure u did everything correctly? | 01:42 |
| obiwan177 | flannel: what client are you using? | 01:42 |
| easotokr | hi, guys any help with evolution? I can't make it ask me for the password i tried reinstalling and everything | 01:42 |
| Flannel | obiwan177: irssi | 01:42 |
| bazhang | colton, its f-spot | 01:42 |
| chrziz | Is there a way to add a command to a launcher to tell it to run the program as root? | 01:42 |
| obiwan177 | ahhh | 01:42 |
| After_Math | where can I find a mount point on /dev for a sd card? what command do I use?!!?!?!! | 01:43 |
| usser | damaltor, do ls /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/ | 01:43 |
| Flannel | chrziz: gksu command | 01:44 |
| DasEi | After_Math:if its not automounted, you'll have to set a directory, in /media for example | 01:44 |

| chrziz | Flannel: thank you very much | 01:44 |

| After_Math | DasEi, not sure where to find it in /dev | 01:44 |
| meoblast001 | anyone else know what's up with my FTP server? | 01:44 |
| usser | damaltor, hm i dont know whats going on there | 01:45 |
| fosco_ | mastrgamr, rm -rf directory | 01:45 |
| King | hi! | 01:45 |
| damaltor | usser: me neither... do you know how i put subsonic into a apache subdomain/vhost? | 01:45 |
| DasEi | After_Math:found it with mount ? or have a icon for it ? | 01:45 |
| mastrgamr | thanks fosco | 01:46 |
| After_Math | DasEi, does not show up in mount | 01:46 |

| damaltor | usser: may i query you? | 01:46 |
| usser | damaltor, i've never done it. i guess you can extract war file and go from there | 01:47 |
| usser | damaltor, yea sure | 01:47 |
| CheesyWeasel | why does ubuntu say apt-get is running when its not. | 01:47 |
| easotokr | hi, anyone had problems with icons INSIDE applications? | 01:47 |
| kicco | uhm. ubiquity hangs during installation. switching, it answers to ANY command "Input/Output Error" | 01:48 |
| After_Math | DasEi, where it says connection? | 01:48 |
| catonano | Hell, people | 01:48 |
| After_Math | DasEi, mount point is /media/Untitled | 01:48 |
| catonano | I'd love to ask a question | 01:48 |
| voconohlinux_ | if i add vmnet# to this line... will they connect? bridge_ports eth0 vbox0 vbox1 vbox2 vmnet0 vmnet8 | 01:48 |
| Flannel | !ask | catonano | 01:48 |
| ubottu | catonano: 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. :-) | 01:48 |
| OddlotX4 | Hey guys. Quick one. What's the Ubuntu equivalent of SpeedFan? | 01:48 |
| catonano | On my Asus laptop I upgraded to Intrepid from Hardy, with the update manager | 01:49 |
| KingOfDos | Does someone here own a SB Live 1024? And knows "what" device the CD input is? | 01:49 |
| panfist | i saw a forum post about my sound problem that says to run the command "sudo m-a update,preapre" but it says the m-a command is not found. does anyone know what m-a is or does? because it's hard to google for "m-a" | 01:49 |
| DasEi | After_Math:so got it, device see : sudo fdisk -l | 01:49 |
| quagga | panfist: module-assistant | 01:50 |
| panfist | quagga thanks | 01:50 |
| CheesyWeasel | that was weird. apt-get was still running for some reason. i need to switch back to windows. i dont have the time to fix ubuntu all the time. | 01:50 |
| After_Math | DasEi, that only list /dev/sda1 which is my hd filesystem | 01:50 |
| fosco_ | panfist, for ncurses lib just execute sudo apt-get install libncurses5 | 01:50 |
| KingOfDos | I'm trying to create a live stream of my TV card. But so far I cannot find the correct device. Tested /dev/snd/pcm* (yes, all off them!). | 01:50 |
| KingOfDos | The soundcard is working when i'll use vlc to play a mp3 file | 01:51 |
| panfist | thanks | 01:51 |
| catonano | THEN I used remastersys to make a live cd out of my Intrepid system. Then I went to a Dell Vostro 1700 laptop with my cd and it worked. But the I tried on the Dell with a freshly downloaded cd from the ubuntu site. That did NOT boot !! Failed to start gdm !; So my question is: so the 2 cds were carring 2 diferent systems ? How is taht possible ? | 01:51 |
| DasEi | After_Math:hum? try lsusb (controller usually does sd) | 01:51 |
| panfist | fosco_ what's weird is that is already installed... | 01:51 |
| hal14450 | any freenode staff around ? | 01:51 |
| doc|home | hello, anyone know if I burn an avi to a dvd under brasero if it will play in a dvd player? | 01:51 |
| KingOfDos | but still, i just don't know what device i must choose as cd_in (i'd connected my tvcard audio_out to the cd_in). | 01:51 |
| After_Math | DasEi, nope, but I did find it from a forum I believe, its under /dev/mmcblk0 | 01:51 |
| ardchoille | hal14450: /stats p | 01:51 |
| fosco_ | panfist, maybe you need the devel version | 01:51 |
| hal14450 | ardchoille, already did that | 01:52 |
| ardchoille | ok | 01:52 |
| panfist | fosco_ ok im trying that | 01:52 |
| DasEi | After_Math:but fdisk should list it (as root) | 01:52 |
| hal14450 | i wanted to ask one a question in pm that is active | 01:52 |
| quagga | hal14450: there isn't anyone in #freenode? | 01:52 |

| Eulalia | Rev: I froze again. | 02:35 |
| ardchoille | Dominik1: Not sure how to make a launcher for that. is that something you only need to do one time? | 02:35 |
| Eulalia | Rev: The caps and scroll lock leds were flashing | 02:35 |
| easotokr | chuy: I already tried that with no success | 02:36 |
| DVA5912 | Stormx2: From what i can tell many other people have try ed this attempt as well, but the fact remains that wine isnt going to support directx witch is required for Game Maker to run. | 02:36 |
| PeskyJ | what's a good program for monitoring for wireless networks? | 02:36 |
| kuroyoma | Is there anyway to put a password requirement on a folder | 02:36 |
| Stormx2 | Dominik1: Couple of problems. Firstly, you'll need to use "gksu" rather than sudo. Secondly I don't think the "command" bit of the launcher dialog is a proper shell. hence, piping won't work | 02:36 |
| ardchoille | kuroyoma: you could just remove read/write permissions for all others except your username and no one can access it anyway | 02:37 |
| PeskyJ | kuroyoma: the best way is to use an encrypted file system... go to add/remove and find a program called CryptKeeper, install it | 02:37 |
| chuy | Dominik1, create a bash script, it is easy, just a line that is called the shabang, and your command in the second line | 02:37 |
| Dominik1 | ardchoille: it is to adjust brightness, I am using sony they don't have brightness adjust support, so I have to do it manually, now I want to make launchers for my GF for brightness 1,4,7 | 02:37 |
| chuy | Dominik1, and then give execute permissions to the file | 02:37 |
| Stormx2 | Dominik1, if I were you, I'd make a new file, somewhere in your home folder. On the first line, put "#!/bin/bash" (without the quotes). On the second, put that command (with the sudo/gksu substitution). Save it. Make it executable, then in the "command" bit, locate the file you just saved | 02:37 |
| PeskyJ | kuroyoma: then run it and it appears in your system tray as a set of keys icon, then left-click on it and create an encrypted directory, each time you want to mount this directory you will need to enter a password | 02:38 |
| xxSimxx | Hi, i have a problem with the compilation (alsa driver) (alc888 realtekhd) | 02:38 |

| chuy | easotokr, if that doesnt work then it is a bug, try removing your user configuration files | 02:38 |

| nite_johnboy | If you run "passwd" in Terminal can you change your original password you used when installing Ubuntu ? ? | 02:39 |
| Stormx2 | wos, the package manager for ubuntu is apt. | 02:39 |
| chuy | Dominik1, Stormx2 already told you whats the first line, 1.-open gedit or another text editor, 2.- put "#!/bin/bash" in the first line (without the quotes), 3.-put your command in the second line | 02:39 |
| wos | aptitude? | 02:39 |
| Stormx2 | nite_johnboy, yes. | 02:39 |
| DVA5912 | Well is there any type of game maker for ubuntu? | 02:40 |
| easotokr | chuy: I'll try to see what happened | 02:40 |
| wos | apt-get? | 02:40 |
| Stormx2 | wos: Both work. | 02:40 |
| joebodo | francesco__ i dont experience the same issue - i use the default pdf viewer in ubuntu without problem (with large files) | 02:40 |
| pangloss | DVA5912: Game maker? | 02:40 |
| whochismo | there's any way to automatically reconfigure the audio settings? | 02:40 |
| ardchoille | wos: Those are "clients" but they still use apt under the hood | 02:40 |
| chuy | Dominik1, save the file, if you are comfortable with terminal, run chmod +x name_of_file | 02:40 |
| Stormx2 | wos: apt-get seems to be used for most simple stuff. | 02:40 |
| wos | Stormx2: how do you find out which one you have? | 02:40 |
| DVA5912 | pangloss, for Ubuntu!!! | 02:40 |
| jutt | joebodo can i PM you? I tried instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI but the second instruction is giving me an error | 02:40 |
| wos | how do you find out which one you have? | 02:40 |
| Stormx2 | wos: Ubuntu installations have both apt-get and aptitude installed. | 02:41 |
| LinuxNewbie | Ok i have some hardware questions I am running windows atm and want to do the switch to linux but i have seen on some good searchs that my laptop has linux issues (Dell Inspirion 1525 none webcam Version) is there any were i can find hardware support | 02:41 |
| pangloss | DVA5912: are you a programmer...? | 02:41 |

| joebodo | jutt sure | 02:41 |
| ardchoille | wos: you should have both aptitude and apt-get, but you should stick with one or the other so as not to get confused with commands | 02:41 |

| pangloss | DVA5912: alot of game are written in hard core programming languages.... I dont think you know what you are getting into.. | 02:42 |
| PeskyJ | saleel: flash is a plugin so I don't see why not... | 02:42 |

| LinuxNewbie | ?? | 02:42 |
| Stormx2 | PeskyJ, I have no idea what you just said | 02:42 |
| Stormx2 | !repeat | thiefness | 02:42 |

| Dominik1 | chuy: I did it, but it did not work :(, no error message, nothing, just not the desired result | 02:42 |
| n8tuser | gregor_-> yes its possible, even before it finishes | 02:42 |
| DVA5912 | pangloss, probably not. But since it needs to be a big game it might as well be written in code. Got any good IDE in mind? | 02:42 |
| Rev | Eulalia, yeah i saw it | 02:43 |
| Rev | then im sorry i have no idea | 02:43 |
| thiefness | it wasn't that quickly, chill out | 02:43 |
| chuy | Dominik1, are you comfortable with console? | 02:43 |
| pangloss | Stormx2: eclipse | 02:43 |
| Rev | post on a forum | 02:43 |
| Stormx2 | pangloss, what about eclipse? | 02:43 |
| Dominik1 | chuy: the file won't execute because in order to use sudo it needs a password | 02:43 |
| Rev | Eulalia, i gotta go to the mass, good luck with your problem, ye | 02:43 |
| PeskyJ | chuy: I've been through all the preferences... I want more behaviour changes than are presented in those tools, how do I get to the "hidden ones" ? | 02:43 |
| Eulalia | M'kay. Thanks Rev. | 02:43 |
| pangloss | Stormx2: its an IDE... | 02:43 |
| Stormx2 | pangloss, I know. | 02:43 |
| Stormx2 | pangloss, what's your point? | 02:43 |
| pangloss | Stormx2: he asked if I knew any IDE's | 02:43 |
| LinuxNewbie | was my question too long ??? | 02:43 |
| PeskyJ | Stormx2: how do I find these hidden features is what I meant | 02:43 |
| gregor_ | possible to shut down the computer when Transmission finished downloads? | 02:44 |
| Stormx2 | PeskyJ: No idea. | 02:44 |
| saleel | PeskyJ: gconf-editor? | 02:44 |
| chuy | Dominik1, don't use sudo then, use gksudo instead, sudo works only if you are in a terminal, gksudo launches a dialog that asks you for the password | 02:44 |
| ardchoille | PeskyJ: run "gconf-editor" and go to apps/metacity , there are some "hidden" tweaks there | 02:44 |
| Stormx2 | Dominik1: I went through with you TWICE that you need to substitute sudo for gksu. | 02:44 |
| Dominik1 | Stormx2: I made the substitution but it will not work | 02:45 |
| chuy | Dominik1, gksudo is the same as gksu | 02:45 |
| PeskyJ | saleel: ardchoille: aha, thanks :) I'm new to X so don't know about such commands :) | 02:45 |

| pangloss | DVA5912: python | 02:46 |
| pangloss | DVA5912: fidn some tutorials at python.org | 02:47 |
| Stormx2 | pangloss, python for game creation? I'd have gone with C or C++ maybe. | 02:47 |
| Dominik1 | Stormx2: it says Gtk-WARNING **: unable to loacate theme engine in module_ath: "ubuntulooks" | 02:47 |

| chuy | Stormx2, pangloss what kind of game creation? | 02:47 |
| PeskyJ | ardchoille: looks like there's some good stuff in there - why it can't be accessible from the GUI with an "advanced" button or something I don't know | 02:48 |
| Dominik1 | Stormx2: but thats all it does when I run the file from the terminal, it puts that out and then does nothing, I can't even type in new commands | 02:48 |
| |Zippo| | chupacabra: do you speak portuguese? | 02:48 |
| Stormx2 | chuy, Dominik1 wants something graphical like Game Maker for ubuntu. | 02:48 |

| Stormx2 | Dominik1, for the second time, can you pastebin the contents of the file you created. | 02:48 |

| Stormx2 | s'okay | 02:48 |
| Stormx2 | I'm ratty tonight. Can't sleep. | 02:49 |
| chuy | Stormx2, meeh, Im almost against drag n drop applications | 02:49 |
| ardchoille | PeskyJ: me either. You might want to make an entry for gconf-editor in your gnome menu, easier to access that way | 02:49 |
| Stormx2 | chupacabra, the default user has root, yeah. new users you create don't necesserily have the rights to use sudo. | 02:49 |

| Dominik1 | Stormx2: no success, the adminstrator window attempts to start, I see this in the window list, but terminates before the dialogue comes up | 02:54 |
| Stormx2 | That usually means it doesn't need a password, as you've entered one in the last 15 mins. | 02:54 |
| shadowkill | thanx chuy! I've got the wireless and it's not playing nice. Looks like the firmware isn't loading but I've got the same fw on other machines | 02:55 |
| Stormx2 | Dominik1, the command doesn't work? Your brightness doesn't go up? | 02:55 |
| Stormx2 | Or whatever it is you're trying to do... | 02:55 |
| shadowkill | the difference is that I'm running 7.04 | 02:55 |
| Dominik1 | Stormx2: the command does not execute, no, brightness does not change : ( | 02:55 |
| Marfi | whats a good video converter for ubuntu? ffmpeg isn't playing nicely with ogv for me | 02:55 |
| Stormx2 | Dominik1: New idea! | 02:55 |
| chuy | shadowkill, what does playing nice mean? | 02:55 |
| joebodo | !nice | 02:56 |
| ubottu | 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. | 02:56 |
| Humbucker | good night | 02:56 |
| Humbucker | and stay linux ! | 02:56 |
| Sinister | what else is there | 02:56 |

| PeskyJ | ardchoille: I managed to switch off raise on click, which is what I was looking for :) | 02:56 |
| Dominik1 | Stormx2: the command won't execute when I paste it into the terminal either, however if I replace the gsku with ... | sudo tee and then give the pass it works flawlessly | 02:56 |
| ljsoftnet | is there a system monitor for the graphics card? | 02:56 |

| lain_wired | m1dn1ght, i checked there, it's only got install stuff for windows. :( | 03:18 |
| m1dn1ght | lain_wired: really? Let me check quickly for a tutorial. I know I followed one | 03:19 |
| noksious | superjerm, danke dude :) :* :D | 03:19 |
| rsvp | thanks all :: if I do a smartctl , do I perform that on both hda1 and hda5 ? | 03:19 |
| lain_wired | m1dn1ght, kay | 03:20 |
| ljsoftnet | PeskyJ, there's no "Thermal Monitor" | 03:20 |
| Flannel | rsvp: Thats on the physical drives themselves (sda) | 03:20 |
| PeskyJ | ljsoftnet: I guess your nvidia driver doesn't have that feature then | 03:20 |
| ljsoftnet | PeskyJ, ah ok, thanks | 03:20 |
| PeskyJ | ljsoftnet: this is something that could only be done in the graphics card driver, soyou could pester nvidia for that feature in their linux drivers if you like :) | 03:21 |
| easotokr | finally I solved!!! sorry but I'm happy | 03:21 |
| augie_ | hey guys, there's this compiz effect that enables you to change the opacity of any window on the fly by scrolling while holding alt | 03:21 |
| augie_ | does anyone know what it's called? | 03:21 |
| augie_ | the names in sscm is not very suggestive | 03:21 |
| pangloss | augie_: /join #compiz | 03:22 |
| rsvp | so that means something like "smartctl -i /dev/sda" (thanks Flannel for your help yesterday) | 03:22 |
| augie_ | ok | 03:22 |
| easotokr | someone lost menubar icons into file-roller??? | 03:22 |
| ljsoftnet | PeskyJ, i don't understand what your saying? | 03:22 |
| Flannel | rsvp: Yeah, exactly like that | 03:22 |
| Flannel | rsvp: well, with whatever smartctl parameters youre passing | 03:22 |
| saleel | is it just me or does the synaptic search suck on ibex? | 03:23 |
| PeskyJ | ljsoftnet: since nvidia are the people who write the driver, you can only request that feature from nvidia | 03:23 |
| rsvp | cool... so sda will end up checking both hda1 and hda5, right? | 03:23 |
| ljsoftnet | PeskyJ: ah ok | 03:23 |
| pangloss | rsvp: try it out =) | 03:23 |

| TeslaDave | Hi all, tried upgraded fresh install to 8.10 ran into a problem with system telling me to enable a "Tomnu" or something like that memory hole in my bios, anyone familiar with this? | 03:33 |
| matthias__ | i have installed 8.10 and as well package ndiswrapper and ndiskgt somewthing and will install the driver but 1 some doubts | 03:34 |
| matthias__ | how can i know if i have the correct driver for my card ... | 03:35 |
| musikgoat | matthias__: does it work? | 03:35 |
| shadowwulf | AMD64 dual core on ubuntu 8.10 ... i have no log on screen ... but live CD works ... suggestions ? | 03:35 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: yep if your crappy wireless thing has no native driver, your only hope is ndiswrapper | 03:35 |
| musikgoat | matthias__: cause then i would say its an ok driver ;-) | 03:36 |
| musikgoat | shadowwulf: what do you see when you boot? | 03:36 |
| TeslaDave | shaowwolf i believe i have a simmiliar problem, my system asks for something with enabling a memory hole | 03:36 |
| _hase | I'm still trying to find a solution to my savage video card problem, I found a website with dri images but I don't know which one to go with or which linux header to install | 03:36 |
| matthias__ | musikgoat: ndiswrapper is the only one to rely on | 03:36 |
| shadowwulf | goes thru the whole boot and when it gets to the log in screen it just stops with a scrambled screen | 03:36 |
| musikgoat | matthias__: sebsebseb is right | 03:37 |
| matthias__ | musikgoat: darn i think it will fail then ... | 03:37 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: what wireless thing are you trying to get working exactly? | 03:37 |
| shadowwulf | half of the screen has the desktop and half of the screen says a double ubuntu | 03:37 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: bcm43xx | 03:38 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: I mean is that built into your lap top? | 03:38 |
| pooronet_ | format STDOUT for limit stdout at 5 lines ? | 03:38 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: yes | 03:38 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: so you can't just change it for something else? | 03:38 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: worked in hardy but seems to fail in version ... | 03:38 |
| musikgoat | shadowwulf: do you get the login screen before the desktop? is that fine? | 03:38 |
| phrostbite | Does anybody know of a cd burning program that can also convert the mp3 before burning to wav so it can be played in any cd player | 03:39 |
| shadowwulf | no i did not | 03:39 |
| brettley | does anyone know how to change the apearance of an ubuntu like cd? | 03:39 |
| shadowwulf | it never makes it to the log in screen | 03:39 |
| brianherman | phrostbite: can you rephrase the question | 03:39 |
| brianherman | phrostbite: i dont understand | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: ok well Intrepid Ibex hardly has anything that is worth the upgrade really for many Hardy users. also Hardy is LTS so 3 years of supopurt. where as ibex only 1 year and a half. | 03:39 |
| shadowwulf | but i did install 8.04 and upgraded with the same result | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: and their is nothing wrong with downgrading from Intrepid Ibex to Hardy Heron | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: especially if your wireless will work their | 03:40 |
| sebsebseb | there | 03:40 |
| m1dn1ght | phrostbite: I'm pretty sure k3b can do that | 03:40 |
| pooronet_ | format STDOUT = ??? for limit out at 5 lines please.... | 03:40 |
| phrostbite | Well most programs when you burn an audio cd it burns it as a audio mp3 cd. Well the stereo in my car can't play mp3, so is there one that can make it so you can play it there. | 03:40 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: also if you want Intrepid Ibex as well, once you got hardy on there, but your wireless to work with Intrepid I have an idea | 03:40 |
| jimdb | you mean it burns it as a data cd. | 03:41 |
| m1dn1ght | phrostbite: Yeah, I think if you drag mp3s into an audio cd project in k3b that does the trick, but it's been a while since I did that so I might be wrong | 03:41 |
| Lachlan | can somebody tell me the root password for a 7.10 live cd | 03:41 |
| phrostbite | ok | 03:41 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: i will be here for a while but i have some poblems with high cpu usage in hardy when seeing movies ..., go on ... | 03:41 |
| Flannel | Lachlan: there is no root password, the root account is locked. | 03:41 |
| pooronet_ | Lachlan: no root password on live | 03:41 |
| augie_ | hey guys, the first time I ran ibex after I installed it there's a notice that says that my battery is old or broken and now I'm noticing that ubuntu uses up battery much faster than xp | 03:41 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: continue | 03:41 |
| augie_ | is it a problem with the battery applet? | 03:41 |
| Lachlan | so on the live i can only use sudo? | 03:41 |
| Flannel | Lachlan: On real installs only use sudo as well. Ubuntu doesn't use the root login | 03:42 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: does your computer have Windows on it as well? | 03:42 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: nop, i do not like windows | 03:42 |
| dreamnid | Lachlan: Yeah, but you can do "sudo -s" if you want something similar to su | 03:42 |
| pooronet_ | Lachlan: sudo -s | 03:42 |
| shadowwulf | musikgoat: suggestions ? | 03:43 |
| musikgoat | shadowwulf: hit ctrl+alt+f2 to see if you can get a functional command line, login | 03:43 |
| anakron | Hi all | 03:43 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: but i have the OS, you mean run as virtual ... | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: well my suggestion was to put Hardy back on, and then put Ibex in a virtual machine, and then your vm will use hardy for wireless | 03:43 |
| musikgoat | shadowwulf: what kind of video card? | 03:43 |
| shadowwulf | nvidia 8800 | 03:43 |
| shadowwulf | GTS | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: also you can try some other distros from Live CD and they may run better on your computer | 03:43 |
| Ikynn | Is there a good reference for intrepid where I can compare commands done in the GUI with their counterparts listed in command for the terminal? | 03:43 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: ok | 03:44 |
| n8tuser | Ikynn-> what are you trying to compare? | 03:44 |
| shadowwulf | no go on the ctrl alt f2 ... looks like it froze up | 03:44 |
| midwestward | i have a pretty strange problem. i need to transfer about 13gb of files from one machine to another. but, the network is set up so that i need to ssh into a third machine from my laptop to access the files. i cannot transfer the files to the third machine. is there a clever way to scp these files to my laptop? | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: Fedora Core, OpenSuse, uhmmmmmmm Elive I guess as well :D Mandriva so on those are good distros to try | 03:44 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: will fight for a while and see if i can get it running afterall i have made an clean install today | 03:44 |
| Ikynn | Well - I can just click, double-click, etc on icons - but I want to know what commands I'm using by clicking, so I can switch to using a command line | 03:45 |
| Flannel | shadowwulf: Do the capslock/numlock/scrolllock lights change on your keyboard? | 03:45 |

| giacomo_c | how do i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10... is it just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 03:45 |
| Flannel | shadowwulf: alright, try restarting this way (its safer than a hard power down): hold alt-sysrq, then slowly push r e i s u b | 03:45 |
| shadowwulf | looks like i will have to reset to get it work reboot | 03:45 |
| midwestward | n8tuser: that is a good idea. but i can't put the hdd in my laptop | 03:45 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | giacomo_c | 03:45 |
| ubottu | giacomo_c: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 03:45 |

| Flannel | matthias__: There's nothing wrong with sticking with 8.04, it'll be supported into 2011. | 03:47 |
| midwestward | is there anyway to scp through a third machine? | 03:47 |
| m1dn1ght | giacomo_c: can be done in the update manager pretty easily too. I have a little button in hardy's update manager at the top saying "New Distribution Release 8.10 available" | 03:47 |

| Flannel | !hostname | thiefness | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: see my PM | 03:48 |
| shadowwulf | yes i can go either inot normal boot or (recovery mode) | 03:48 |
| linuxpoet | never trieed it | 03:48 |
| ubottu | thiefness: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING!

| dale | www.talkcity.com | 03:54 |

| spolvid | Ok, I'll try that. | 04:06 |
| shadowwulf | anybody else that pick up where musikgoat left off ? | 04:06 |
| Flannel | FluxD: Its not quite developed straight from it, although early in the development process there is a lot of importing. But see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule (December 25, Debian Import Freeze) | 04:07 |
| lain_wired | Hullo! | 04:07 |
| Ikynn | The first user I create in Ubuntu is not the root account, right? | 04:07 |
| Flannel | Ikynn: correct. You don't use the root account in Ubuntu | 04:07 |
| m1dn1ght | Ikynn: correct | 04:07 |
| FluxD | Flannel, what about Intrepid? | 04:08 |
| lain_wired | I was here just before, and just in case anyone wonders, I got DSL to work. It's really remarkable. | 04:08 |
| Ikynn | What if I have a program that needs root access? | 04:08 |
| Flannel | FluxD: Intrepid is already released. But, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule | 04:08 |
| m1dn1ght | Ikynn, Just use sudo for anything requiring root access, or "sudo su" for a persistent root prompt | 04:08 |
| thiefness | why is it that after I installed my nvidia driver and restarted the driver loaded and ran fine, but now that I restart again, the driver did not load, but instead my computer started with vesa | 04:08 |
| Ikynn | Thanks! | 04:08 |
| Flannel | m1dn1ght, Ikynn: sudo -i is better | 04:08 |
| m1dn1ght | ikonia: yeah - what flannel said | 04:09 |
| Flannel | But, you'll find you don'tneed a root shell often, if at all. | 04:09 |
| lain_wired | Also, a tip if you don't want to add "sudo" to every command during a terminal sessiom: use "sudo -i" | 04:09 |
| m1dn1ght | Ikynn, : yeah - what flannel said | 04:09 |
| lain_wired | gah | 04:09 |
| FluxD | Flannel, so DebianImportFreeze means after that no packages from debian unstable is copied over? | 04:09 |
| shadowwulf | can anybody help me on a logon screen scarmble ? | 04:09 |
| m1dn1ght | Ikynn: also - if you want to manipulate files as root using the gui you can "sudo nautilus" | 04:09 |
| Flannel | FluxD: There are always exceptions, but as a rule, correct. Also, there are still updates, etc, after that. | 04:09 |
| thiefness | shadowwulf: how ironic that you scrambled the letters of 'scramble' | 04:10 |
| Flannel | m1dn1ght, Ikynn: for graphical programs you should always use gksu instead of sudo (or kdesu if youre in Kubuntu) | 04:10 |
| FluxD | Flannel, I thought only security updates were copied not feature updates? | 04:10 |
| shadowwulf | yeah, i have been told i do that alot | 04:10 |
| m1dn1ght | Ikynn: again - what he said | 04:10 |
| thiefness | why does my computer always start with vesa? | 04:10 |
| angelo | FluxD, wrong | 04:10 |
| lovre | i need help, cant get lm-sensors to work. Says no sensors found when i type "sensors" | 04:10 |
| Flannel | FluxD: bugfixes and security updates, but thats hard and fast only after release, beforehand theres a bit more leeway. A better place to ask these things would be in #ubuntu-motu, where the MOTU live. | 04:10 |
| angelo | how can I check RAM on my laptop? | 04:11 |

| anyone | whochismo, all it does is load equalizer settings from alsamixer. You can do the same this from the latter if you know how. | 04:30 |
| telexicon | Kumo, but other videos work? | 04:30 |
| whochismo | anyone: Idon't have that file anymore | 04:30 |
| Kumo | Yeah | 04:30 |
| CMD_L1N3 | how do you uninstall a .package file | 04:30 |
| telexicon | Kumo, yeah, theres an issue with DVDs | 04:30 |
| Flannel | CMD_L1N3: How did you install it? since that's not an Ubuntu package format. | 04:30 |
| telexicon | Kumo, DVDs are encrypted, and its against the law to decrypt them using open source software or something | 04:30 |
| PeskyJ | Kumo: you could try ripping the DVD then watching the ripped files :) | 04:30 |
| CMD_L1N3 | i just double clicked | 04:30 |
| Flannel | !dvd | Kumo | 04:30 |
| CMD_L1N3 | and ran | 04:30 |
| anyone | whochismo, have you played with alsamixer? | 04:30 |
| ubottu | Kumo: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 04:30 |
| Kumo | That's kind of retarded. | 04:30 |
| mystery | I have gparted can someone help me enlarge my windows partition? | 04:30 |
| matthias__ | Hi everybody ... | 04:30 |
| Flannel | CMD_L1N3: You mean a deb file then? | 04:30 |
| hilton | Off topic, but does anyone know if the Windows and Linux version of Firefox and Thunderbird use different file formats despite identical names? | 04:31 |
| telexicon | Kumo, yeah, blame the DMCA | 04:31 |
| m1dn1ght | Kengine: I'm just suprised resizing partition would break vista installation. I mean - you resized it when you first installed Ubuntu, right? | 04:31 |
| CMD_L1N3 | Flannel: no because i tried to do dpkg -r | 04:31 |
| whochismo | anyone: no, i cannot open alsamixer as it doesn't detect any soundcard... | 04:31 |
| telexicon | Kumo, open source dvd playing software (that involves decryption of CSS) is considered a circumvention device and breaks the law (in the US) | 04:31 |
| Flannel | hilton: #ubuntu-offtopic (and actually, #firefox and #thunderbird on mozillas IRC would be the best place to ask) | 04:31 |
| telexicon | Kumo, may i msg you? | 04:31 |
| anyone | !sound | whochismo | 04:31 |
| ubottu | whochismo: 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 | 04:31 |
| matthias__ | Flannel: i got the wireless to work okey, my fight worked and i am on wireless and still going strong ... | 04:31 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: i got the wireless working , my fight gave me an victory ......., no looking back .... | 04:32 |
| Kengine | m1dn1ght: yeah of course, I still have 30 gigs left though, so no hurry, but I think before once I tried to resize it and the entire system crashed, so I quit Ubuntu and became a CentOS user for about a year, now for this new hardware I came back to Ubuntu again | 04:32 |
| whochismo | anyone: i if i double click on the volume control, it says that i do not have any soundcards installed | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: ok cool how you do that? | 04:32 |
| augie | hey guys, where's .vimrc? | 04:32 |
| whochismo | and yes, i already tried those websites... with no success... | 04:32 |
| shadowwulf | what is the command i have to type to download nvidia drivers in a terminal | 04:32 |
| Flannel | augie: ~/.vimrc | 04:33 |
| nickrud | augie, in your home directory: you may have to make it | 04:33 |
| Kumo | msg away | 04:33 |
| whochismo | there is not a way to "repair" an ubuntu instalation? | 04:33 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: the wireless dependent on ssb and not ndiswrapper ...my wireless driver | 04:33 |
| CMD_L1N3 | Flannel: package remove packname <<this is the command | 04:33 |
| anyone | whochismo, have you tried a clean reboot after noticing this problem? | 04:33 |
| whochismo | anyone: yes, of course | 04:33 |
| ditch64 | hello, i have a problem, i resized the swap partition and the computer would not reboot, i tried like 6 times and it didnt work the 7th time it booted...... | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: ssb??????? | 04:33 |
| augie | Flannel, nickrud ic, thx I was just confused that it's not there | 04:33 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: yes | 04:33 |
| Kengine | m1dn1ght: CentOS 5.0 is rock solid btw | 04:34 |
| Kengine | lol | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: I don't even know what that is | 04:34 |
| whochismo | anyone: basically my problem is that i followed these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878608 | 04:34 |
| m1dn1ght | Kengine: Can't understand how resizing during initial ubuntu install would leave vista intact, but a post-install resize would break it. I'm afraid I don't have a solution :( | 04:34 |
| nickrud | whochismo, lots of ways. check for loaded modules first: lsmod | grep snd , you should see a handful of modules regarding sound | 04:34 |
| m1dn1ght | Kengine: Yeah - centos is pretty much as stable as they come :) | 04:34 |
| Kumo | Hmmm | 04:35 |
| anyone | whochismo, what distro? | 04:35 |
| whochismo | ubuntu 8.10 | 04:35 |
| Kumo | So I buy the DVD, but to play it on my laptop, I have to pay again for a decoder? | 04:35 |
| whochismo | and no, if i doa lsmod | grep snd, there'snobody there | 04:35 |
| thiefness | How do I find out which driver I want for my wireless card? I know it's a ralink, I installed the rt2860sta driver, but I can't seem to connect | 04:35 |
| shadowwulf | can somebody tell me the apt-get to download nvidia drivers ? | 04:35 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, what card do you have? | 04:35 |
| telexicon | Kumo, may i? | 04:35 |
| mkquist | ditch64: and so now it works? | 04:35 |
| Kumo | Yes | 04:35 |
| Kengine | Kumo: not in Linux | 04:35 |
| shadowwulf | nvidia 8800 GTS | 04:36 |
| m1dn1ght | Kumo: It's definitely possible to enable DVD playback for free in ubuntu. I did it myself tonight. | 04:36 |
| whochismo | nickrud: i don't have any module loaded regarding sound | 04:36 |
| CarlFK | mouse isn't working (vm issues). what is the hot key to open a terminal? | 04:36 |
| mkquist | Kumo: no | 04:36 |
| ditch64 | mkquist: yes, but i have a feeling its going to die or something is going to go wrong next time i boot | 04:36 |
| ardchoille | Installing nvidia drivers the recommended way leaves my tty's blank, is there a fix for this yet? | 04:36 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: yes, i have in lshw - c network module stated module=ssb and not ndiswrapper as it suppose to be ... | 04:36 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: trying to get the logon screen to come up ... but it screws up | 04:36 |
| nebajoth | thiefness: google the motherboard you have, find the wifi chipset in the tech specs, and google for the ubuntu driver that supports that chipset and see if you're on the list of supported wifi cards | 04:36 |
| ditch64 | mkquist: almost like it learned and fixed itself...? | 04:36 |
| nickrud | whochismo, hm, compiling kernel modules can be problematic, and hard to troubleshoot. Did the install complete successfully? | 04:37 |
| Kengine | m1dn1ght: these new laptop comes with hybrid graphics and 8 gig ram support, I hope Ubuntu's next version catches up to support these | 04:37 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, could you pastebin the result of, dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 04:37 |
| thiefness | nebajoth: thanks, ill try that, sounds difficult =x | 04:37 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: module=ndiswrapper and not in current distro have module=ssb, that was my sollution ... | 04:37 |
| === CasuaLty is now known as Casualty | ||
| nebajoth | thiefness: it gets easier over time. wifi is a weak spot for linux still. | 04:37 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: fight i won :) | 04:37 |
| mkquist | CarlFK: alt/f2 | 04:37 |
| whochismo | nickrud: i only tried to install the realktec drivers, and yes, it seemed to complete successfully, but without finding any appropiate driver for my computer | 04:37 |
| nebajoth | thiefness: it doesn't take long if you know what to look for, either | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: yep and now what you going to do? | 04:37 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: an work around made for hardy ... | 04:38 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, you tried the restricted drivers manager and it didnt work? | 04:38 |
| thiefness | nebajoth: i've been working on this for like 2-2.5 hours so far ;P | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: what? | 04:38 |
| anyone | whochismo, isn't that cutting edge? Why don't you revert to stable, if it's that important to you? | 04:38 |
| nickrud | whochismo, I have no experience with that sound chip, so I'd be stabbing in the dark trying to troubleshoot remotely. I'd suggest posting to that thread for help. | 04:38 |
| shadowwulf | i cant get into ubuntu .. the screen frezzes just before logon | 04:38 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: yes that was an work around from the hardy time .... | 04:38 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: still working for my wireless card ... | 04:38 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, ok | 04:39 |
| zutme | irc.freenode.net | 04:39 |
| whochismo | anyone: nickrud: Sound worked perfectly until a few hours. I just tried to upgrade the drivers in order to make my internal microphone work... | 04:39 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, when it does that, could you press ctrl+alt+f1 tell me what it does? | 04:39 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: well spread the word, the fix is was for hardy and still is an fix in ithis distro 2 | 04:39 |
| ditch64 | mkquist: ? | 04:39 |
| nickrud | whochismo, oh, you had working sound at one time, with the default install? Prior to running that script? | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: yeah sure you can tell people in detail about that some where | 04:40 |
| whochismo | nickrud: yes, exactly | 04:40 |
| anyone | whochismo, ah, so it's borked. | 04:40 |
| whochismo | i just would like to revert those changes... | 04:40 |

| shadowwulf | telexicon: 8.04 | 04:41 |
| nickrud | whochismo, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) should get you back your sound then | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: yeah that's what I am doing here, but there hasn't really been anyone here for me to help tonight as such | 04:41 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: have any ide why totem player consumes cpu power when watching movies ? | 04:41 |
| Rev | does someone know how to extract a file from firefox's cache? | 04:41 |
| nickrud | whochismo, you'll need to reboot after running that | 04:41 |
| anyone | whochismo, I avoid doctors, car mechanics, and upgrades. | 04:41 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: okey, well i made it ... | 04:41 |
| whochismo | nickrud: i already rebooted | 04:41 |
| nickrud | whochismo, did you run the reinstall command above? | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: to be honest totem sucks arse, and I still wonder why it is the default for Ubuntu in a way. also Intrepid Ibex has a much better banshee version then Hardy does | 04:42 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 04:42 |
| derpnooner | what's banshee | 04:42 |
| derpnooner | ? | 04:42 |
| whochismo | anyone: i like upgrades... don't know why... | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: are you on Intrepid Ibex? | 04:42 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: i have tried ubuntu 8.04 which works fine and have tried 8.10 which screwed up .. tried installing 8.04 and upgrading with the same result ... the line i gave you is from ultimate edition 1.9 thats running on ubuntu 8.04 | 04:42 |
| hosstest | does anyone know if you can boot to an executable from Grub, say Ghost or Acronis? | 04:42 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: what player do you use ... | 04:42 |
| derpnooner | know, still using hardy | 04:42 |
| anyone | whochismo, are you an adrenaline junkie or somethin? | 04:42 |
| derpnooner | no * | 04:42 |
| nickrud | derpnooner, apt-cache search banshee (a music program) | 04:43 |
| derpnooner | whoops | 04:43 |
| turtle_ | hey all | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: hummmmmm there is a way to add a ppa for the intrepid ibex banshee version in hardy, but I would have to find link | 04:43 |
| turtle_ | im trying to install a game with wine | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: how old is yoru computer? | 04:43 |
| whochismo | anyone: maybe.... or just wasting my time with the computer when i have free time.. | 04:43 |
| turtle_ | and the menu is sooo big that I cant complete the installation! | 04:43 |
| kuro | I used dd to copy my working partition to another on the same HD, How do i add it to grub? | 04:43 |
| nickrud | whochismo, run the reinstall command I gave you above, then reboot | 04:44 |
| matthias__ | anyone are having wireless issues with broadcom wireless hw | 04:44 |
| lu31415 | hey, is there a portuguese language-specific ubuntu channel? | 04:44 |
| jj_galvez | is there a specific irc for multimedia ? I'm having trouble with dvd play back | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | matthias__: I quite like VLC for movies, however the newer version of Banshee is really good the one that is in Ibex, and so I will use that for movies most of the time, and it's so much better then Rythombox which I used before when Banshee sucked | 04:44 |
| Flannel | !pt | lu31415 | 04:44 |
| ubottu | lu31415: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 04:44 |
| derpnooner | i'm running an older hp laptop | 04:44 |
| cpro | can any body please tell hi how to connect to internet in 8.10 | 04:44 |
| derpnooner | 1.4 celeron | 04:44 |
| nickrud | whochismo, and you'll probably need to remove any changes to alsa-base you made | 04:44 |
| matthias__ | sebsebseb: thanks for the tip ... | 04:44 |
| derpnooner | 1 gb ram | 04:44 |
| derpnooner | crappy intel graphics | 04:44 |
| whochismo | nickrud: i'm running the command right now, sorry, i missed that line | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: have you tried the Intrepid Ibex Live CD on it? | 04:45 |
| derpnooner | and broadcomm wireless | 04:45 |
| anyone | whochismo, yes. You should be out smelling the flowers or inside reading a good book. You know you should. 8 ) | 04:45 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, after you do that and install, and restart.. does it do anything? | 04:45 |
| hosstest | Anyone know of a good imaging software to use? | 04:45 |
| hosstest | disk imaging | 04:45 |
| nickrud | whochismo, get a better irc client, it'll highlight lines written to you ;) | 04:45 |
| derpnooner | what benefits would i get in the latest release | 04:45 |
| whochismo | anyone: well, i read good books also... | 04:45 |
| derpnooner | ? | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: not that much to be honest, but may as well upgrade if your computer will handle it nicely | 04:46 |
| easotokr | any guess where I can find assigned directories? | 04:46 |
| whochismo | nickrud: i use pidgin, it highlight the lines.. it's just me, that I never pay enough attention | 04:46 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: seems i have no internet conection on this machine | 04:46 |
| turtle_ | anyone: help with a wine problem, 2 days old | 04:46 |
| K_Dallas | hosstest, not sure exactly what you need but what about dd or ddrescue? | 04:46 |
| whochismo | well, i'm going to rebook | 04:46 |
| whochismo | be right back | 04:46 |
| derpnooner | i'll get the iso and try it out | 04:46 |
| rsvp | smartctl fans, I got this message: "Execute SMART Short self-test routine immediately in off-line" -- but no results >> so where is the test output? [attn: esp Flannel, thanks] | 04:46 |
| whochismo | (and thanks) | 04:46 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, ah yeah, youre on the console | 04:46 |
| derpnooner | which kernel does it run? | 04:46 |
| anyone | Well, I hope they're mostly dead authors, death seems to be the primary requiremnt of good writing. Pity... | 04:46 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, here one sec | 04:46 |
| nickrud | whochismo, heh. That's why I also have a chime set for lines with my nick, I'm inattentive a lot also | 04:46 |
| mrpockets | so | 04:46 |
| mrpockets | with dual monitors | 04:46 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces please | 04:47 |
| mrpockets | and i do cube rotate | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: the version of Banshee that comes in hardy sucks, but there is a way to add the Ibex version, and with that version Banshee is great for video and music | 04:47 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, or um | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: however VLC is also great for video | 04:47 |
| Flannel | rsvp: the output one... I believe its -a, but check the manpage | 04:47 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, one sec | 04:47 |
| mrpockets | how do i make the cube show up as one cube cenetered between two monitors, instead of one cube reflected as two cubes on each monitor? | 04:47 |
| derpnooner | i have a question for anyone who might know. I use TOTEM, and when I move the window the video stays in one place until i release the window | 04:47 |
| nickrud | anyone, it's not that death is required, it's just that most authors are dead. Bigger source of good books | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: totem sucks big time compared to vlc and banshee | 04:47 |
| derpnooner | I want the video to move with the window | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: also there is stuff like kabbodle and what not kde video players that are good | 04:48 |
| derpnooner | i'm installing banshee right now | 04:48 |
| usser | derpnooner, its a bug in intel drivers | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: sure, but you will get the old crappy hardy version not the good ibex one | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | derpnooner: unless you add the ppa for the ibex repo or upgrade to hardy | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | I mean ibex | 04:48 |
| usser | derpnooner, theres no way to fix it without sacrificing feautres | 04:48 |
| derpnooner | yeah, i kinda figured that | 04:48 |
| nickrud | sebsebseb, is the banshee in ibex that much better? | 04:48 |
| rsvp | Flannel, could you please kindly comment on http://bit.ly/riki :: anything you notice? | 04:49 |
| usser | derpnooner, you can try to switch to x11 video output instead of xvideo | 04:49 |
| sebsebseb | nickrud: yep seems so | 04:49 |
| derpnooner | I get crappy fullscreen if I disable NV | 04:49 |
| anyone | also, that we don't bother with bad dead authors. Big difference... | 04:49 |
| nickrud | hm, time to try it again then | 04:49 |
| derpnooner | blocky and computer chokes on own feces when I do that | 04:49 |
| easotokr | any guess where I can find assigned directories? | 04:49 |
| derpnooner | I want a best of both worlds scenario | 04:49 |
| nickrud | easotokr, what do you mean by assigned? | 04:49 |
| augie | need vim help: error is here, http://pastebin.ca/1250085, my .vimrc is here:http://pastebin.ca/1250087 | 04:49 |
| derpnooner | NV for fullscreen, x11 for windowed | 04:50 |
| Flannel | rsvp: did ou see re: -a? or -A, I can't remember which | 04:50 |
| derpnooner | is that possible | 04:50 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, http://slexy.org/view/s2QatDKS8K make sure those 2 lines are in /etc/network/interfaces and uncomment them (remove the intial #) if they are | 04:50 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, if they arent in there, add them | 04:50 |
| rsvp | checking... brb | 04:50 |
| Pavlz | hi | 04:50 |
| Ikynn | So - I've run sudo apt-get install kismet, it went through and installed, now where do I find the executable file to run it? | 04:50 |
| augie | nothing fancy in the .vimrc should be easy | 04:50 |
| nickrud | augie, start by installing vim-full , and trying it again | 04:50 |
| easotokr | nickrud: I just discovered an application changed the route to my icons from /usr/share/icons to ~home/.local/share/icons | 04:50 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: will do .. working ..... | 04:50 |
| augie | nickrud, will do | 04:50 |
| Sinister | how do set delay i have to hold down 10 sec a key | 04:50 |
| Flannel | nickrud, augie: just vim, not vim-full, unless you want gvim | 04:50 |
| lu31415 | can you change from a gnome installation to a kde one without having to reinstall from scratch? | 04:50 |
| easotokr | nickrud: I want to reverse that but I can't uninstall the application | 04:51 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, after you do that, run, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 04:51 |
| nickrud | Flannel, did that change? just vim didn't have syntax in hardy | 04:51 |
| Flannel | augie: I believe those errors are caused by EOL issues | 04:51 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, then you should have an internet connection and be able to apt-get | 04:51 |
| augie | Flannel, I have vim (vim-common in synaptics??) and gvim (vim-gnome) | 04:51 |
| hosstest | anyone know how to set up automatic Software Updates and Installations? | 04:51 |
| Flannel | nickrud: "vim" is the full vim package (since vim-tiny is the crappy one thats installed), vim-full includes gvim, which most people don't want | 04:51 |
| rsvp | yes, Flannel, smartctl -a >> Prints all SMART information about the disk | 04:51 |
| augie | Flannel, will check it out, because I did copy it from windows | 04:51 |
| Flannel | rsvp: Right, including the results of the tests | 04:52 |
| anyone | !cron | hosstest | 04:52 |
| ubottu | hosstest: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 04:52 |
| nickrud | easotokr, that's a gnome change, fundamental to the desktop. | 04:52 |
| nickrud | easotokr, or, that's my working hypothesis these days | 04:52 |
| hosstest | anyone: Thanks. | 04:52 |
| rsvp | ok, will report back... | 04:52 |
| anyone | hosstest, or kcron, for the pretty interface. | 04:53 |
| easotokr | sure, I was without icons on compiz, evolution and other programs for three days until I found that change, copied icon dir to .local al viola, all worked | 04:53 |
| easotokr | I have icons again | 04:53 |

| nickrud | easotokr, try creating a link between the dirs, so both are accessed by either path | 04:54 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: done | 04:54 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, ok try restarting | 04:54 |

| sebsebseb | derpnooner: if your not just going ot upgrade to Ibex ok, but don't use the hardy version of Banshee use the Ibex version in your hardy instead http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/ubuntu | 04:55 |
| rand0mabo | Hi people... Would anyone by chance know why, for some reason, my highspeed cable internet is quite a bit slower in ubuntu than when in windows? | 04:55 |
| nickrud | Flannel, by the way, thanks for the info about vim. I'm a bit inattentive at the moment ;) | 04:55 |
| derpnooner | cool, thanks for the advice | 04:55 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: same thing | 04:56 |
| lianimator | is there a webpage development software for Ubuntu like Kompozer without requiring the klibs? | 04:56 |
| === anyone is now known as RHorse | ||
| telexicon | shadowwulf, do you have a way to pastebin files on this box? | 04:56 |
| shadowwulf | this is the machine right next to it | 04:56 |
| seaoftea | Man ubuntu is great, but it still needs to be a little more user friendly. I wish I could take all of the good bits and pieces of Vista,Mac, Ubuntu and combine them into one super OS. | 04:56 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, do you have ssh setup? | 04:56 |
| Cpudan80 | lianimator: NVU | 04:56 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, can you scp some files from the box so you can pastebin them? | 04:56 |
| rand0mabo | seaoftea, some day. :P | 04:56 |
| shadowwulf | i dont think its installed | 04:56 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, ok um | 04:57 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, go to the console again, ctrl-alt-f1 | 04:57 |
| shadowwulf | want me to install ssh ? | 04:57 |
| Flannel | Cpudan80, lianimator: Kompozer is Nvu (Kompozer is still alive, Nvu is dead), and Neither are KDE | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: mozilla seamonkey I guess | 04:57 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, run, tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 04:57 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, can you tell me if any lines have ERROR or similar in them? | 04:57 |
| Cpudan80 | Flannel: oh I didnt know | 04:57 |
| nickrud | seaoftea, if you'd been around 5 or 6 releases ago, you would be agog at how much user-friendliness has improved. The line on the graph is marching steadily upward ;) | 04:57 |
| augie | Flannel, nickrud thx | 04:57 |
| jj_galvez | can anyone help me with scrambled DVD playback | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: Kompozer was based on NVU and well they both are based on Mozilla Seamonkey's compossor so yeah | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | lianimator: or the former Mozilla Suite's to be exact, but yes Seamonkey in answer to your question | 04:58 |
| augie | is there any way to disable the drums sound when ubuntu starts? | 04:58 |
| augie | it's really annoying | 04:58 |
| aegis | yes | 04:58 |
| LF|Irssi | Is there a good app for adding extra customizable keyboard shortcuts for KDE4? | 04:58 |
| telexicon | augie, System -> Preferences -> Sound | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | augie: yep and you could change the sound | 04:58 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: no such file ? | 04:58 |
| Flannel | LF|Irssi: You might try #kubuntu | 04:58 |
| seaoftea | nickrud: no, I know! I tried installing ubuntu/debian/slackware/fedora and 8.10 is the first time I've kept linux as my main OS. | 04:58 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, ok, change into the /var/log dir | 04:59 |
| kuro | I used dd to copy my working partition to another on the same HD, How do i add it to grub? | 04:59 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, cd /var/log; ls; and see if there are any files like that? | 04:59 |
| aegis | augie: you could use Arch... it doesn't have that sound... | 04:59 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, Xorg.0.log or Xorg.20.log etc | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: lol ArchLinux would probably be to complacted for him | 04:59 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: typed it in wrong | 04:59 |
| Shovi | I just installed ubuntu 8.10 on my Asus G1S, the ethernet does not work now. The ethernet has worked in all past versions i've tryed... can someone help me configure or maybe roll back??? | 05:00 |
| teratoma | actually to change the startup sound i think he wants sudo /usr/sbin/gdmsetup | 05:00 |
| aegis | sebsebseb: :) I was joking... | 05:00 |
| seaoftea | Shovi: What's your device? | 05:00 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: what am i looking for in that log ? | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | aegies: I gathered that | 05:00 |
| augie | telexicon, sebsebseb I thought I disabled everything, but now I just unchecked 'play alerts and sound effects' completely | 05:00 |
| aegis | sebsebseb: glad you caught that though | 05:00 |
| augie | aegis, what's Arch? | 05:00 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, at the end of the file | 05:01 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, look for anything liek 'ERROR' | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | augie: ArchLinux a hardcore geeks Linux distro that involves a lot of commands | 05:01 |
| telexicon | meh i need to stop using so many lines lol | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | augie: well not as hardcore as Slackware Linux, but still | 05:01 |
| lianimator | sebsebseb: so, if I don't want to download the klibs.. I can use seamonkey? | 05:01 |
| lianimator | what is the most developed? | 05:01 |
| lianimator | e.g. most features and ease of use | 05:02 |
| augie | sebsebseb, maybe not anytime soon | 05:02 |
| pipegeek | anyone know of a way to force desktop effects on in kubuntu? | 05:02 |
| aegis | augie: it's a Linux distro that you build from the ground up... it doesn't have anything you don't specifically put into it... I run it w/ gnome so it doesn't look much different than Ubuntu... | 05:02 |
| Flannel | lianimator: Kompozer isn't a KDE program | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | liaminator: kompozer however bluefish I think it's called not installed that yet heh, is meant to be good to | 05:02 |
| buffalocyber | hi all friend | 05:02 |
| aegis | augie: www.archlinux.org if you want to know more... but stick with Ubuntu... | 05:02 |
| lianimator | Flannel: oh, when I downloaded kompozer, it was going to take 110+ MB | 05:02 |
| buffalocyber | i have some problem | 05:02 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: nope ... nothing ... looks like it saw the card ... | 05:03 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, nothing at the end? no errors? | 05:03 |
| wartalker | i enable the water effect, but how to start it | 05:03 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: no errors | 05:03 |
| buffalocyber | Please help me | 05:03 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: you use arch? | 05:03 |
| augie | aegis, yeah.. but thx | 05:03 |
| buffalocyber | > , ,< | 05:03 |
| whochismo | nickrud: it worked, i can listen to music right now | 05:03 |
| whochismo | thanks! | 05:03 |
| Shovi | seaoftea, its Gigabit LAN, Realtek drivers work for XP... im unable to find the exact spec | 05:03 |
| Flannel | lianimator: That seems extremely odd. Are you sure you have the right repo for it? | 05:03 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, do you know which driver its using? vesa, nv, nvidia? | 05:03 |
| aegis | sebs: yup... | 05:03 |
| shadowwulf | i would assume nv | 05:04 |
| seaoftea | The only complaint I have about ubuntu now is the lack of software, Kubuntu has a lot more applications it seems like. I tried kubuntu but it crashed and crashed. I just wish there was more portability between kde and gnome apps. | 05:04 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: ,but help with noobubuntu as well I see | 05:04 |
| rsvp | well, along with the smartctl attributes a lot of the types read 'pre-fail' or 'old age' :: ummmm, is this worrisome for a hard drive only 10 months old??? | 05:04 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: is there a way to tell ? | 05:04 |
| lianimator | when I installed nvu, it was using 25+MB | 05:04 |
| Shovi | seaoftea, on XP i have the Realtek PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet | 05:04 |
| nickrud | whochismo, yw | 05:04 |
| lianimator | but it says it's download kompozer as well.. | 05:04 |
| ardchoille | seaoftea: you can use kde apps in gnome and vice-versa | 05:04 |
| buffalocyber | i want software download manager support mms potocal. please help me | 05:04 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, um | 05:04 |
| nickrud | seanw, you can run any kde app inside gnome | 05:04 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: yeah still not done arch in a vm after all this time | 05:04 |
| nickrud | seaoftea, , you can run any kde app inside gnome | 05:04 |
| lianimator | both nvu and kompozer installed kdelibs | 05:04 |
| seaoftea | U sure? | 05:04 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, in the Xorg.0.log mine says "II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets:", so perhaps yours will say something similar but with the driver | 05:05 |
| augie | so I have this weird problem with my wireless status light (laptop) blinking | 05:05 |
| ardchoille | seaoftea: yes, I've been doing it for years | 05:05 |
| nickrud | seaoftea, absolutely | 05:05 |
| aegis | sebsebseb: Yes... I run ubuntu as well... I love ubuntu. I have it on all the computers for my family... I also run a few servers with it... and my gf's computer... | 05:05 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: in fact I got close on my old computer, before my hardware failed bad enough that I coudn't use it anymore | 05:05 |
| augie | so far I don't think it affects anything | 05:05 |
| seaoftea | okay then | 05:05 |
| seaoftea | lol | 05:05 |
| lianimator | I installed nvu but kompozer was installed instead | 05:05 |
| rsvp | Flannel what do you think? | 05:05 |
| nickrud | seaoftea, this ain't windows, linux is cosmopolitan | 05:05 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: indeed Ubuntu is a great one to recommend for new users, also the whole idelogy behind it is nice, you know the one I mean circle of friends one? I mean seen old dapper cd covers | 05:05 |
| aegis | sebs: I just run one copy of Arch though on my laptop... (which also has Ubuntu 8.10 in grub) | 05:05 |
| seaoftea | Shovi: Give me 1 sec to look at it | 05:06 |
| jj_galvez | can anyone help me with scrambled DVD playback | 05:06 |
| Flannel | rsvp: Pastebin the output, and I'll take a look | 05:06 |
| aegis | sebsebseb: Yup... Definitely agree... | 05:06 |
| Shovi | seaoftea, | 05:06 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: at both things? | 05:06 |
| === AwayNick is now known as WPPWAH | ||

| paul68 | does anyone know a good and complete tutorial or howto to get IPtables running as router and gateway | 05:07 |
| mrpockets | hey | 05:07 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: sadly my family are locked into XP, even though Ubuntu is an option on the family computer, my little brother who is 7 will start using it again though, when I put more games on it for him | 05:07 |
| === Caveman is now known as Guest5735 | ||
| aegis | sebsebseb: Yes... I agree with the applicability of Ubuntu for new users (as well as experienced)... It's better than any I've seen for new users actually... And I do remember the CD cover with the circle of friends... :) | 05:07 |
| === Guest5735 is now known as Caveman_ | ||
| therealnanotube | hey. how can i find out what agpmode my video card is running in (as in, 1x, 2x, 4x)? nothing's showing up in either dmesg or xorg.0.log. but maybe i'm not looking for the right things? | 05:08 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: i see (NV) ... but i also see (EE) failed to initialize GLX extension ( Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found ) | 05:08 |
| sebsebseb | aegis: yep the whole Ubuntu Linux for human beings thing, and that picture is like saying we are all people, regardless, of age, gender, and race | 05:08 |
| Ikynn | Thanks to all those that helped me out tonight - I'm jumping off this learning curve for the night! | 05:08 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, ok it appears you're using the NV driver | 05:09 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: ok | 05:09 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is there a line that says: Driver "nv" | 05:09 |
| rsvp | Flannel so here it is http://dpaste.com/89710/ | 05:10 |

| seaoftea | shovi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538448 <-- did you try these steps | 05:11 |
| aegis | shadow: I always had trouble with the "nv" driver... I recommend installing the updated drivers directly from Nvidia or waiting for EnvyNG to update (if it hasn't) for 8.10... | 05:11 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, if its there, change the line to read, Driver "nvidia" | 05:11 |
| glaksmono | hello | 05:11 |

| pogztimz | hello.. y cant i install auth-client-config on Dapper 6.06 Client? | 05:15 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: didnt ask me anything about a video driver | 05:15 |
| aegis | benh: Mine wasn't nearly that bad... | 05:15 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, done already? | 05:15 |
| Flannel | pogztimz: Because that package isnt in dapper. | 05:15 |
| pogztimz | can some1 pls tell me how can i download auth-client-config on a dapper distro | 05:15 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: keyboard and that was it | 05:15 |
| benh | aegis: well, mine was OK at home on my amd64 | 05:15 |
| Clarkson123 | http://milw0rm.com/exploits/7051 | 05:15 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, ok is there a line in xorg.conf that says, Driver "something" ? | 05:15 |

| pogztimz | Flannel> oh its u again.. tnk God.. how can i get it then? | 05:16 |
| aegis | benh: Do you mount your /home dir on a separate partition? | 05:16 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: nope just a driver that doesnt seem to be in | 05:16 |
| aegis | benh: You might just want to fresh install if you do | 05:16 |
| augie | what's a good download manager? | 05:16 |
| Flannel | pogztimz: Have you considered upgrading to Hardy? (If I remember correctly, you're already considering it) Once you upgrade, you'll have it. | 05:16 |
| Shovi | seaoftea, thanks.. thats the model i have ill give it a try | 05:16 |

| lcortez | whats up aegis | 05:16 |
| pogztimz | i cant.. some of my machines jsut cant upgdr to hardy | 05:17 |
| Flannel | rsvp: Yeah, the numbers in those columns are what you need to know about. You can probably find really good documentation on reading that output on the internet. I am not a good reference source on SMART itself. | 05:17 |
| therealnanotube | hey. how can i find out what agpmode my video card is running in (as in, 1x, 2x, 4x)? nothing's showing up in either dmesg or xorg.0.log. but maybe i'm not looking for the right things? | 05:17 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: Option "useFbDev" "true" | 05:17 |
| Flannel | rsvp: No, no, those types are standard. | 05:17 |
| aegis | lcor: hey lcortez... not much... how are you? | 05:17 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, ok, delete that line | 05:17 |
| tj83 | Hello all.. I have a permissions question for someone who can help me out. I reasonably understand how to use chown and chmod, I have a text file that I created with gedit, i have set the permissions on this file as owned by root with permissions set to 700, I have created a desktop launcher targeted to this file as gksu gedit /location/filename , so, when i use this launcher for the first time it requires a password to open it, or save ch | 05:17 |
| tj83 | anges naturally. but it does not ask everytime. how do i overcome this? | 05:17 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, replace it with, Driver "nvidia" | 05:17 |
| Flannel | rsvp: Everyone has that, its static, its an attribute of those data type things, nothing to do with an individual drive | 05:17 |
| n8tuser | therealnanotube-> see if its mentioned in xdpyinfo | 05:17 |
| Flannel | rsvp: Its like saying "i is an integer", integer is just the type of information. | 05:17 |
| lcortez | aegis, u know who this is? | 05:18 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: rebooting | 05:18 |
| Flannel | tj83: sudo caches the password for a time, you can either reduce (or eliminate) that time, or use sudo -k | 05:18 |

| shadowwulf | telexicon: ok blank screen ... but i was able to log in | 05:20 |
| aegis | lcortez: Nope... Should I? | 05:20 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, but nothing on the screen? | 05:20 |
| aegis | dearcia: A list of what? | 05:20 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: no nothing on the screen | 05:20 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, :-/ | 05:20 |
| dearcia | ubi.exe, foother.html, etc | 05:20 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: least i know it didnt freeze up | 05:20 |
| meyou- | can the ubuntu installer shrink an NTFS partition to make room for ubuntu dualboot? | 05:21 |
| lcortez | maybe, you might have given me a server recently | 05:21 |
| rsvp | for the fellow that needed IRC setup for PIDGIN, voila http://short.to/80z | 05:21 |
| clouder`grr | Flannel: I don't see anything in the comments about time in sudo visudo | 05:21 |
| prince_jammys | meyou-: yes | 05:21 |
| seaoftea | meyou-: yes | 05:21 |
| benh | mostly fixed now | 05:21 |
| meyou- | cool beans | 05:21 |
| meyou- | thanks | 05:21 |
| benh | would be interesting to know why it insists on starting the kde network manager applet in gnome sessions tho | 05:21 |
| Flannel | clouder`grr: No, its got a default value, man sudoers mentions it, (And theres lots of documentation online), but sudo visudo is how you (more safely) edit sudoers | 05:22 |
| air0day | I have a problem installing samba that has spiraled out of control. I messed up smb.conf so i tried reinstalling it, which gave me some error about init scripts so I deleted /etc/init.d/samba but reinstalling doesn't restore it so now even though I can uninstall/reinstall samba, the file never comes back. How do I get a fresh clean samba on my machine? | 05:22 |
| seaoftea | meyou-: Actually the live cd comes with a great partitioning tool | 05:22 |
| === y0m3r0 is now known as piolavski | ||
| meyou- | also, dualbooting ubuntu64 and xp32 should be fine right? | 05:22 |
| clouder`grr | Flannel: ahh ok, thanks again, just wondering. Pretty happy myself with sudo timing | 05:22 |
| seaoftea | meyou-: You can quad boot if you wanted too | 05:22 |
| Flannel | air0day: You need to purge ("completely remove" in synaptic) the packages that those files were in. To figure out which packages those are, dpkg -S /path/to/file, will tell you (its likely a -common file or somethng) | 05:22 |
| aegis | benh: something is really screwed up if that is happening... consider a fresh install. | 05:23 |
| arquebus | !chrome | 05:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about chrome | 05:23 |
| tj83 | Flannel, i added the -k option in my launcher line as gksu -k gedit filename.. but it does not ask for password every time. | 05:23 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: so what now ? | 05:23 |
| rsvp | chrome is the google browser | 05:23 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, i dont know | 05:23 |
| seaoftea | meyou-: I actually did that for a while /w Ubuntu 64-bit, Mac OSX, Vista 64 and XP 32 | 05:23 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, im annoyed with the nvidia driver | 05:23 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, this is 8.04 correct? | 05:23 |
| shadowwulf | yes 8.04 | 05:24 |
| [biabia] | what file in ubuntu is similar to /etc/inittab in fedora where you can designate which run level is default | 05:24 |
| Flannel | tj83: No, no, "sudo -k" will reset the timestamp (I'm actually not sure how this works with gksu). See the gksu manpage to see if it supports the -k option, if not, try making your launcher do this instead: sudo -k; gksu whatever | 05:24 |
| benh | aegis: that's too painful for works, maybe later, I'll fix things up for now | 05:24 |
| cantiQuE | aiiiiiiiiiiiii | 05:24 |
| tj83 | Flannel, ok, will try that. | 05:24 |

| rsvp | that's ok ubottu ==== see ya all , thanks so much again! | 05:25 |
| Flannel | air0day: Which package did you completely remove? | 05:25 |
| cantiQuE | aiiiiiiii | 05:25 |
| air0day | samba | 05:25 |
| air0day | oh wait | 05:25 |
| air0day | got it | 05:25 |

| AussieGuy | I wonder if it would it be possible to set up a bunch of servers all of them having changing IP addresses. then have the servers report their ip addresses to a master server, which runs a private DNS server that manages domain names for them | 05:27 |
| mindrape | cpro - if you have a WEP key then you will need to use iwconfig to set that as well.. man iwconfig | 05:27 |
| lcortez | seaoftea: are you having the same trouble? | 05:28 |
| therealnanotube | hey. how can i find out what agpmode my video card is running in (as in, 1x, 2x, 4x)? nothing's showing up in either dmesg or xorg.0.log. but maybe i'm not looking for the right things? | 05:28 |
| seaoftea | I haven't try actually lol, I just figured I'll run into it if you are | 05:28 |
| mindrape | AussieGuy: obvious slowpoke is obvious... dynamic dns. | 05:28 |
| thethirdmoose | Help my fix GRUB, please, I can't boot onto my hard drive. | 05:29 |
| Acedip | ubottu: well ok that i can download the .deb file from the website but how to add that in the repository | 05:29 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:29 |
| lcortez | seaoftea: it recognizes the printer, but there's no driver for it | 05:29 |
| AussieGuy | true, but dyndns is visible to everyone....Im thinking of one that is private | 05:29 |
| AussieGuy | it would probably use bind and a few scripts | 05:29 |
| shadowwulf | telexicon: no errors ... but it now ID's the card | 05:29 |
| After_Math | how can I change a "Read-only file system"? | 05:29 |
| telexicon | shadowwulf, hmm | 05:30 |
| Shovi | seaoftea, Hi, that didnt work... but on the first time I start up ubuntu it says You are connected to the wired network... cept it dosnt work | 05:30 |
| AussieGuy | like one to scp over the IP in a file, then another to read the Ip from that file and update its DNS record | 05:30 |
| mindrape | After_Math: change the /etc/fstab entry for it | 05:30 |
| [biabia] | please where is inittab file in ubuntu | 05:30 |

| mindrape | cpro - sudo ifconfig what is the list of network adapters available? maybe you dont have wlan0 | 05:32 |

| nebajoth | [biabia], read the link I sent you | 05:33 |
| yuri_ | im want to create a command that looks like this $ wait 45 mins && poweroff how do i dovthe time bit? | 05:33 |
| After_Math | mindrape, k, I can do that, the only problem I would man mounting is knowing what to mount in /dev. I am still unable to locate its location, although I think it might be /dev/mccblk0 | 05:33 |
| prince_jammys | w33d5: find /media/folder1 -type f -name '*.jpg' -exec cp {} /media/folder2 \; | 05:34 |

| byonix | hi, anyone knows the upsides and downsides of 8.10 to 8.04? | 05:42 |
| mindrape | byonix - one is LTS and one isnt. Go read the website. They have all the details. | 05:42 |
| linuxgeekery | actually even an external USB mouse works, just not the laptop's trackpad. any suggestions? | 05:42 |
| ag90 | byonix: 8.10 uses a newer kernel, a newer version of gnome. etc. While 8.04 is a long term release. I say if 8.10 is working perfectly for you, go with it | 05:43 |
| ambush276 | ok ill repeat... I need help with figuring out how to use Eclipse in ubuntu server edition with subversion??? anyone help me? | 05:43 |

| byonix | mindrape, i use the LTS, i just wonder which is better? | 05:43 |
| aegis | dearcia: Are you downloading it? | 05:43 |
| Flannel | ambush276: Eclipse is a GUI app, so you'll have to install a gUI | 05:43 |
| mindrape | byonix - define "better". What criteria do you have setup to determine, in a consistent way, what is "Better"? | 05:44 |
| therealnanotube | heh heh... floodbot is cool. :) | 05:44 |
| ambush276 | can i install a GUI w/ the serve edition | 05:44 |
| linuxgeekery | ambush276: yes | 05:44 |
| dearcia | aegis: I did waht you told me, I click in download and it appears a list and I don't know wath to do | 05:44 |
| ambush276 | how.. guides? | 05:44 |
| Flannel | ambush276: Yes. The different editions are only different default package selections. What are you using this computer for, anyway? | 05:44 |

| mosbaya | can visual foxpro run in ubuntu? | 05:45 |
| mindrape | mosbaya - www.winehq.org look in their compatability listing | 05:46 |
| M0badder | hello | 05:46 |
| mosbaya | mindrape.. thanks | 05:46 |
| byonix | mindrape,i'll have to say more hardware friendly, in 8.04, my embedded microdia webcam, and modems undetected, do you know ho to resolve it? | 05:46 |
| mindrape | byonix - check hardware compatability lists and google the specific vendor and model numbers. Linux isn't going to support all hardware. Write to the hardware manufacturers and tell them to release open source drivers. | 05:47 |
| M0badder | any one knows abt ubuntu firewalls ???!!!! | 05:47 |
| mindrape | M0badder: ask a specific question, get a specific answer. | 05:47 |
| M0badder | ok | 05:47 |
| mindrape | M0badder: yes we knows abt ubuntu firewalls #@$!@!!! | 05:47 |
| mosbaya | how install odbc mysql in wine | 05:47 |
| M0badder | i need to manage my bandwidth | 05:47 |
| Flannel | mosbaya: Why would you insstall mysql in wine, when you can do it natively? | 05:48 |
| mindrape | mosbaya - you want to use an ODBC mysql driver? For what? | 05:48 |
| ambush276 | just running a basic server. | 05:48 |
| mosbaya | yup | 05:48 |
| ambush276 | like im using it to run a game server. | 05:48 |
| M0badder | how ??? | 05:48 |
| ambush276 | Fannel: yea , for a game server, something that can handle a lot on the processor | 05:49 |
| M0badder | what is the best firewall can do managment for my bandwidth ??? | 05:49 |
| mindrape | m0badder - google bandwidth shaping iptables | 05:49 |

| yuri_ | XFCEntral: any luck? | 05:49 |
| ambush276 | so i need something that is light.. but at the same time i guess i need a GUI for Eclipse.. | 05:49 |
| Flannel | ambush276: You might be better off installing the desktop version to begin with, then just adding the server stuff ontop of that | 05:49 |
| M0badder | let me check it | 05:49 |
| aegis | dearcia: highlight the server near you... the click the green Download box | 05:50 |
| ambush276 | can i install the Desktop w/ LAMP? | 05:50 |
| mosbaya | i have visual foxpro program with sql databases, how run it with wine | 05:50 |
| aegis | save that file... and then burn it to a CD or DVD. | 05:50 |
| XFCEntral | yuri_: now im having trouble with the syntax myself haha an example is "at now + 3 hours<backup," to run a command called backup in three hours | 05:50 |
| ambush276 | Flannel: can i install teh Desktop w/ LAMP | 05:50 |
| aegis | it's an iso file, so you must burn the image to a CD | 05:50 |
| dearcia | aegis: my nearest server is in Mexico, UNAM | 05:50 |
| mindrape | ambush276 - it sounds like you are planning on developing directly on the server w eclipse. This is ill-advised. Servers should be configured to run only the specific daemons necessary. Installing GUIs, IDEs, etc is going to violate segregation of duties requirements and blah blah blah | 05:50 |
| aegis | dearcia: that fine... select it | 05:50 |
| aegis | dearcia: that's fine... select it | 05:51 |
| ditch64 | hello, i have a problem, i resized the swap partition and the computer would not reboot, i tried like 6 times and it didnt work the 7th time it booted...... | 05:51 |
| ambush276 | ok mindrape .. so should i make a virtual Machine on another server for the otehr stuff? | 05:51 |
| ditch64 | it even said that it predicted a failure | 05:51 |
| Flannel | ambush276: Yes. | 05:51 |
| aegis | ditch64: what size? my system never even uses the swap part | 05:51 |
| ambush276 | ok sounds good.! | 05:51 |
| zendo | after last updates forefox start peistemt;i om off ;line ,pfr | 05:51 |
| Flannel | ambush276: You can install everything the server has on a "desktop" system | 05:51 |
| XFCEntral | yuri_: solved it | 05:51 |
| zendo | ,pfrI | 05:51 |
| yuri_ | XFCEntral: ? | 05:51 |
| dearcia | aegis: I click and send me a list. I am new using linux, so I don't know waht to do next | 05:52 |
| ditch64 | aegis: i used the auto install and it made the swap like 40 gigs and after learning about linux i resized it to 2 gigs today | 05:52 |
| XFCEntral | yuri_: make sure you enter it this way-- at now+ 1 minute</usr/bin/clamtk | 05:52 |
| zendo | mod( | 05:52 |
| aegis | ditch64: i doubt you'll ever need a 2 gig swap part.. just fyi... | 05:52 |
| Shovi | My wired internet has not worked ever since I installed 8.10... It has worked on previous versions of ubuntu.... It currently says the driver is r8169... Can I roll back the driver... any ideas? | 05:52 |
| shadowwulf | can somebody tell me the right setting i need for vga= for 1280x1024 for the logon screen | 05:52 |
| ditch64 | aegis: but now it works and now i fear that i may have a problem larger then i think | 05:53 |
| maco | aegis: if you have one gig of memory, 2gig of swap is recommended if you intend to hibernate | 05:53 |
| aegis | ditch64: it sounds like your FAT was messed with... | 05:53 |
| yuri_ | XFCEntral: so to poweroff it would be at now+ 1 hour</bin/poweroff ? | 05:53 |
| ditch64 | aegis: i have 2 gigs of memory and i hibernate every time i turn off the computer | 05:53 |
| aegis | maco: Good point! Mine won't hibernate so I don't worry about that... | 05:53 |
| Flannel | yuri_: sudo shutdown -h +60 | 05:54 |
| JoeDaMac | So, trying to boot into Ubuntu on my mac mini, dvi out to my hd tv. Not getting any video, probably would get an 'out of range' message were it a pc monitor | 05:54 |
| ditch64 | aegis: but thats not the issue right now, i need to make sure everything is ok, and that i do not need to restore any of the file system before i reboot | 05:54 |
| aegis | ditch64: yes, in light of that, disregard what I said. | 05:54 |
| ditch64 | lol | 05:54 |
| JoeDaMac | how would I go about changing resolutions, not being able to see anything? | 05:54 |
| madara | alexbobp: Please stop using the internet, you're ruining my experience. | 05:54 |
| aegis | ditch64: Do you have gparted installed? | 05:54 |
| alexbobp | lol @ madara | 05:54 |
| XFCEntral | yuri_: so your command may be like this: at now+ 1 minute</sbin/reboot i believe | 05:54 |
| ditch64 | aegis: yes | 05:54 |
| mkquist_ | is there an alsa channel? | 05:55 |
| gluonman | I downloaded a series of rar archives from rapidshare (part1 through part6). When I try to open and extract the archives, parts 2 through 6 all open part1. If I delete part1, the rest of the archives are empty. Does anyone know why this is? | 05:55 |
| maco | mkquist_: there's #alsa | 05:55 |
| aegis | ditch64: You could use gparted to take a look if the partitions were okay... | 05:55 |
| gaintsura | hey all, I seemed to have managed to turn mouse 1 from normal click to move, and I can't seem to get it back, anyone have any ideas? | 05:55 |
| Flannel | XFCEntral, yuri_: for shutting down (and therefore rebooting), shutdown handles times itself, both relative and absolute. | 05:55 |
| deftone | tried to put Ubuntu on USB and it won't start at boot.....anything i'm missing?? | 05:55 |
| yuri_ | Flannel: hey thanks | 05:55 |
| mkquist_ | maco: ty | 05:55 |
| ditch64 | aegis: i did not know that, give me a second and ill report back | 05:55 |
| paul68 | therealnanotube: are you familliar with iptables? if so can I pm you? | 05:55 |
| gaintsura | I have no idea how it changed either, I was trying to change opacity key bindings in compiz when it happened | 05:55 |
| mrpockets | dude | 05:55 |
| mindrape | deftone - does your motherboard support booting off a USB device? | 05:55 |
| mrpockets | using nVidia settings manager dor dual monitors | 05:55 |
| maco | mkquist_: do you need ubuntu audio help? | 05:55 |
| deftone | mindrape: it sure does..... | 05:55 |
| yuri_ | XFCEntral: the shutdown command has a timer. See what Flannel wrote | 05:56 |
| XFCEntral | Flannel: good point! like shutdown -r now, for example? | 05:56 |
| mrpockets | is there a way to have separate wallpapers for each monitor? | 05:56 |
| mkquist_ | maco: a little | 05:56 |
| mindrape | deftone - did you select USB as one of the devices to boot from in the boot order prior to your HD? | 05:56 |
| deftone | but all i get is the blinking cursor | 05:56 |
| ditch64 | aegis: how do i use gparted to figure out if its ok? | 05:56 |
| maco | mkquist_: there's an unofficial #ubuntu-audio-help | 05:56 |
| ag90 | Hey does anyone know if the network manager in intrepid supports static IP addresses ? | 05:56 |
| M0badder | mosbaya:do you have a link step by step using iptables form installing it to confg.??? | 05:56 |
| maco | ag90: it does | 05:56 |
| mkquist_ | maco: well ty again | 05:56 |
| mrpockets | ag90, why wouldn't it | 05:56 |
| deftone | Ya my mobo supports it and i also hit f10 to choose which device i wanna boot. | 05:56 |
| dearcia | aegis: Thanks, the problem is the UNAM sever. I am downloading from Argentina. Thanks a lot | 05:56 |
| ag90 | good. Thanks. I had some problems on hardy with it | 05:56 |
| ambush276 | ok i will try vmware | 05:56 |
| ambush276 | with Ubuntu desktop | 05:57 |
| aegis | dearcia: Doh... that would do it... I'm glad it's working for you... | 05:57 |
| ambush276 | and then.. | 05:57 |
| ambush276 | we will see how it goes.. | 05:57 |
| FloodBot2 | ambush276: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:57 |
| deftone | I did the Windows installation using netbootin | 05:57 |
| aegis | ditch64: Let me load up gparted... I don't have it installed on this box | 05:57 |
| shadowwulf | can anybody help me get video from a nvidia 8800 .... i have flase colors on the screen when i added vga=795 ... trying to fix that | 05:57 |
| Flannel | XFCEntral: indeed, or +60 (1 hour from now) or 19:40 (at 7:40 pm) | 05:57 |
| Peddy | How do I compile an executable from a .c file? | 05:57 |
| XFCEntral | Flannel: thank you | 05:57 |
| mindrape | gcc -o this this.c | 05:57 |
| ditch64 | aegis: ok thank you | 05:57 |
| Flannel | XFCEntral: see man shutdown for all the details, etc. | 05:57 |
| deftone | mindrape: any ideas? I think i need to set up something with the mbr | 05:57 |
| mindrape | deftone - well your MBR is only going to get called up if you boot from the HD. | 05:58 |
| mindrape | deftone - if it boots to a blinking cursor I dunno... go look in the forums for the USB distro you are attempting. | 05:58 |
| mrpockets | OR | 05:59 |
| mrpockets | if i like the way one icon package makes FF look | 05:59 |
| Peddy | thanks mindrape | 05:59 |
| mrpockets | but like everythign about the other icon pack | 05:59 |
| M0badder | do any one know abt iptables ??? | 05:59 |
| gaintsura | yar wtf | 05:59 |
| JoeDaMac | Running on a Mac Mini, DVI out to my HD TV. problem: booting off the cd for the first time, not getting any video. Resolution is out of range, I imagine. Any ideas? | 05:59 |
| mrpockets | nvm | 05:59 |
| aegis | ditch64: You can force a check of your drives by rebooting your computer with 'sudo shutdown -r -F now | 05:59 |
| aegis | ' | 05:59 |
| Flannel | ditch64: or force it at next reboot with `sudo /forcefsck` | 05:59 |
| ditch64 | well im scared its no going to boot next time | 06:00 |
| ditch64 | aegis: | 06:00 |
| aegis | Flannel: Yeah, that's a little more elegant... good point... | 06:00 |
| ditch64 | not* | 06:00 |
| Theeb | Hello, I upgraded my Ubuntu to 8.10, but now it doesn't recognize my video card, I have ATI radeon 9800 | 06:00 |
| smokewon | Hey what is "http-alt"? i got this service listening on port 8000, what is it? | 06:00 |
| paul68 | does anyone know a good tutorial for shorewall firewall? | 06:01 |
| ksakjas | how do i tell specific program to use a specific card? lets say bittorrent. how do i tell it to go through rausb0 instead of eth0? | 06:01 |
| Shovi | My wired internet has not worked ever since I installed 8.10... It has worked on previous versions of ubuntu.... It currently says the driver is r8169... Can I roll back the driver... any ideas? Should I just go back go 8.04?? | 06:01 |
| smokewon | is it normal to have a http caching service running on my desktop machine (listening on port 8000) | 06:02 |
| colton | files from text files from cd, and I want to modify them, but they won't let me (they if a lock sign on them). how do I fix this? | 06:02 |

| Conexion | Hey all, I'm looking to install Ubuntu on my main computer.... But I want to make sure I'm taking full advantage of my hardware... Would standard Ubuntu be fine? I was told one time about Ubuntu Mint but I'm not sure what the difference is... | 06:03 |
| therealnanotube | paul68: well, it's really been a while since i've done anything more complicated than a basic filter with iptables. so i don't think i'd be of much use. but there's no harm in trying. :) | 06:04 |
| Theeb | ag90, thanks! | 06:04 |
| paul68 | therealnanotube: can I pm you? | 06:04 |
| therealnanotube | Conexion: difference between mint and plain ubuntu is that mint includes the "restricted" codecs by default (but they can be installed on plain ubuntu as well). other than that, just try the livecds of the two, and see the difference yourself. | 06:04 |
| colton | k thx | 06:05 |
| therealnanotube | paul68: sure why not. but as i said, no guarantees of me actually being able to help. :) | 06:05 |
| acp_ | Conexion: try first the live cd then see what working and whats need to be tweak or hack | 06:05 |
| Conexion | Ah, k.... Is there any way to install ubuntu so that you can just log in as Admin, or do you have to adjust that afterwards? | 06:05 |
| acp_ | Conexion: try wubi | 06:06 |
| Flannel | Conexion: You don't want to log in as admin | 06:06 |
| Mariner_ | Conexion: why do you want to log in as admin? | 06:06 |
| Conexion | Wubi? Also, I prefer not having to Unlock and sudo everything while I'm doing things | 06:07 |

| dotblank | do the keyboards capslock and numlock flash? | 06:17 |
| M0badder | ya | 06:17 |
| dotblank | thats a kernel panic | 06:17 |
| M0badder | how should i fix it ???? | 06:17 |
| dotblank | is this a fresh install or has it worked before | 06:18 |

| ag90_ | Hey I am using Intrepid. Kernel 2.6.27 has built-in support for my WiFi card - RTL8187B. The support is a bit unstable. I want to move back to the old driver but it won't compile in 2.6.27. I think downgrading the kernel is an option. Any suggestions ? | 06:18 |
| M0badder | from the 1st i install it | 06:19 |
| M0badder | and this problem | 06:19 |
| M0badder | i tried to solve it form the hardware | 06:19 |
| M0badder | by puting the power in the bios | 06:19 |
| M0badder | to run again | 06:19 |
| M0badder | but nothing happen | 06:19 |
| Flannel | !enter | M0badder | 06:20 |
| ubottu | M0badder: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:20 |
| M0badder | ok | 06:20 |
| dotblank | how old is the server your putting it on? | 06:20 |
| M0badder | no it's new | 06:20 |
| dotblank | have you tried loading default bios settings? | 06:20 |
| M0badder | i will try | 06:21 |
| === BaD-CrC is now known as BaD_CrC | ||
| M0badder | it's a new dell desktop computer i installed ubuntu server for testing the conf. before i install it on the real server | 06:22 |
| M0badder | but 1st you told me it's kernel problem | 06:22 |
| dotblank | Is the hardware the same on both | 06:22 |
| M0badder | no | 06:22 |
| Flannel | M0badder: Try the alternate CD instead of the server CD | 06:22 |
| dotblank | well it may be that acpi might be causeing a kernel panic | 06:22 |
| seaoftea | damn you hal, OPEN THE POD BAY DOORS!!!! | 06:23 |
| Flannel | seaoftea: eh? | 06:23 |
| M0badder | plz define acpi | 06:23 |
| dotblank | Im afraid i cannot do that, dave | 06:23 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 06:23 |
| Irreducibilis | 1338 people :O | 06:24 |
| dotblank | ACPI is a extension of the bios that allows the OS to control power and device states.. like standby or sleep | 06:24 |
| M0badder | so your advice is to load defult bios | 06:25 |
| dotblank | but most often I find that kernel panics are do to filesystem errors | 06:25 |
| Sinister | iv been using this gtk-gnutella it puts ok after every every thing like.mp3.OK how can i get it rid of that ? | 06:25 |
| mindrape | s/do/due | 06:25 |
| dotblank | resseting the bios may fix it but it is a shot in the dark | 06:25 |
| M0badder | thx dotblank, another thing do u know what is the best firewall should i install ??? | 06:26 |
| ag90 | I have a problem. The new kernel in intrepid has support for my wifi card ( rtl8187b ) but the support is buggy and keeps going off every now and then. I need to downgrade to the old driver but it won't compile on this kernel. One option is to downgrade the kernel and then switch back to the old driver. Anyone have other suggestions to fix this problem ? | 06:26 |
| dotblank | well IP tables seems pretty good but im no firewall expert | 06:27 |
| clouder`grr | M0badder: I use firestarter, but it's just a front for iptables | 06:27 |
| M0badder | thanks | 06:27 |
| clouder`grr | M0badder: the rules you put in place make it the best firewall | 06:27 |
| M0badder | i'm new in linx ubuntu and i wanna know step by step how to install iptables firewall | 06:28 |
| clouder`grr | M0badder: iptables is your firewall, use firestarter to put restrictions in place as iptables is usually blank by default | 06:29 |

Anyone have other suggestions to fix this problem ? | 06:29 |
| dotblank | have you tried compiling the latest driver for the wifi card | 06:30 |
| ag90 | I tried | 06:30 |
| dotblank | and why did it fail? | 06:30 |
| ag90 | It gave me some compilation errors | 06:30 |
| dotblank | and what errors? | 06:31 |
| ag90 | something about not being able to find something. The jadams drivers are patched to work on 2.6.24 but the drivers are there in 2.6.27 by default with some modifications. | 06:31 |
| ag90 | And those modifications make it really buggy. Data transfer just stops randomly | 06:31 |

| ditch64 | mindrape: haha | 06:39 |
| mindrape | canthony: looking... hold | 06:39 |
| whatlah | ok i found it | 06:39 |
| ag90 | canthony: I am sorry I don't have any information on their development operations. But as far as I know you can only open docx, not save. | 06:39 |
| ditch64 | Flannel: you alive? | 06:40 |
| whatlah | ok now why when my ubuntu connceted to internet there's no internet connection icon showing the active connection ? | 06:40 |

| Slart | canthony: have you checked this out? http://thedailyblahblah.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/odf-docx-in-openoffice/ | 06:41 |
| therealnanotube | mindrape: thanks for the link, but that doesn't appear to help in figuring out what the current agp speed is, though? | 06:41 |
| dotblank | do you have an agp card | 06:41 |
| ag90 | dotblank: You could probably switch to wifi rader or something similar | 06:41 |
| canthony | those links seem to be from 2007? but i will check it out | 06:42 |
| dotblank | well i did switch so its no longer a problem but its just annoying | 06:42 |
| dotblank | wow I mean tdo you have an nvidia card? | 06:42 |
| ditch64 | lastlog did not work btw | 06:43 |
| mindrape | canthony: when I File -> Save As in Open Office you can choose the file extention type... scroll way down and I see .docx... looks to be native. | 06:43 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: i'm finding some files, cat them to get the url, then i want to pipe them to wget | 06:43 |
| Slart | canthony: also see this link, http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88355 | 06:43 |
| dotblank | you could try cating them into an enviromental variable and then using them as an argument | 06:43 |
| bullgard4 | Firefox 3.0.3 > Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > (Library) > All Bookmarks > Bookmarks menu > »a particular bookmark« > More shows Name, Location, Tags, Keyword and Description. What is the function of 'Keyword' (in contrast to 'Tags'? | 06:44 |
| canthony | mindrape, yeah i am running OO3 from a PPA that seems to be from the official team, but DOCX is not a native option | 06:44 |
| ditch64 | !filesystem | 06:44 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 06:44 |
| yell0w | dotblank: like how | 06:44 |
| ag90 | bullgard4: Thats probably there to maintain backward compatibility and for your own reference I guess. | 06:44 |
| yell0w | dotblank: cat >> $n | wget $n ? | 06:44 |
| ditch64 | ok, so i need to repair my filesystem but i do not have acces to a CD with ubuntu on it, but i do have access to a flashdrive with ubuntu on it, not one i can boot from though, how can i go about doing this? | 06:45 |
| dotblank | h/o working it out | 06:45 |
| mrpockets | how do i disable the drives from appearing on my desktop? | 06:45 |
| bullgard4 | ag90: I guess your answer is incorrect as there is a field 'Description' for my own reference. | 06:45 |
| aaron | hi everyone I have a question about my installtion of ubuntu | 06:46 |
| mrpockets | pop in a flash drive, it auto mounts it, which is good, but then it sticks a shortcut on the desktop | 06:46 |
| Mariner_13 | yell0w: what about writing to file, and get wget to read from the file? | 06:46 |
| memeemeee | is rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* the same as emptying the trash? | 06:46 |
| gluonman | I downloaded archives from rapidshare. It came in 6 parts, but after downloading them, I tried to decompress them, but every single archive opened part1. Is that a problem with Archive Manager? Or is it just that the files rapidshare gave me were weird? | 06:46 |
| mindrape | hi aaron, once you ask a question about your installation of ubuntu we will provide a response. In the future you can just ask the question instead of informing us you are about to. Although we do appreciate the headsup. | 06:46 |
| Saga_ | Hello everybody. Another linux distros have rc-status file. Does Ubuntu haev one? | 06:46 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: uhm it will be a bad formatted file | 06:46 |
| Saga_ | have* | 06:46 |
| zakidine | ok dans ntfs-config | 06:47 |
| ag90 | memeemeee: I don't think so. As some files in the trash, on a different partition are stored in a ".Trash-<username or user id here>" directory at the top level of that partition | 06:47 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: find / -iname text -print0 | xargs -0 cat >> file ? then what ? | 06:47 |
| zakidine | click here to set a mount number | 06:47 |
| zakidine | je fais quoi ? | 06:47 |
| zakidine | jai Sda1 et Sda5 | 06:47 |
| bullgard4 | ag90: You did not say what compatibility to what subject is maintained. Unless you define the subject of backward compatibility, your statement is worthless to me. | 06:48 |
| mindrape | zakidine: try #ubuntu-fr | 06:48 |
| memeemeee | ok ag90 thanks | 06:48 |
| aaron | I set up a separate partition for ubuntu on my harddrive but what I noticed was for my windows side I only left 300 megs of space on that partition...is that bad ^^? | 06:48 |
| zakidine | ok thanks | 06:48 |
| Mariner_13 | yell0w: if you get the output then, cant u just use ' | wget ' at the end? | 06:48 |
| canthony | mindrape, by chance are you using the debs from OO.org or are you jacked into a PPA? from what i understand OO3 is not even in the official repos? has it entered as a backport yet? | 06:48 |
| mindrape | canthony - I'm on 8.10 | 06:48 |
| Mariner_13 | yell0w: skip file.. | 06:49 |
| canthony | mindrape, how did you install oo3 though | 06:49 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: the url is inside the file, so i'm cat'ing it | 06:49 |
| Saga_ | Where is rc-status file located in Ubuntu? | 06:49 |
| mindrape | oh... heh, I'm on 2.4... my bad. | 06:49 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: skip file ? | 06:49 |
| ag90 | bullgard4: I told you what I thought was right. I think the decision of keeping it there was the firefox developers'. I believe the backward compatibility is to make sure that the new bookmarking system is compatible tot he old bookmark system for imports. | 06:49 |
| ditch64 | what program is like alcohol 120 but for linux? or can i mount it in terminal? and run it like its a CD i need to make an ISO run like its a CD but it really be on a flashdrive | 06:49 |

| locainex | hi. im using ubuntu 8.04 x64 and flash suddenly stopped working for me. anyone got any ideas? ive tried purging it and reinstalling, and i just installed flash 10, which worked for about 1 minute, before it suddenly reverted to not working | 06:50 |
| ditch64 | yell0w: thank you | 06:50 |
| AkariChan | locainex: firefox? | 06:50 |
| locainex | yeah firefox | 06:50 |
| AkariChan | try recompiling instead of using apt-get | 06:50 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: erhh i tried that | 06:50 |
| locainex | firefox or flash AkariChan | 06:50 |
| AkariChan | i had the same problem | 06:51 |
| AkariChan | flash | 06:51 |
| locainex | hm | 06:51 |
| AkariChan | grab the tar.gz | 06:51 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: problem is, wget doesn't take it, lol | 06:51 |
| AkariChan | and install it from there | 06:51 |
| locainex | well installing flash 10 i did a manual install. | 06:51 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: wget doesn't take stdout as input | 06:51 |
| elbermungster | hey guys, I installed Intrepid RC a few weeks back, and when the final came out, I did an update, but the theme didn't change. how come? | 06:51 |
| ag90 | ditch64: You can do it from the terminal too. "sudo mkdir /media/iso && sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /media/iso" | 06:51 |
| a1242 | I just did a clean install, but kept my /home partition. How do I add my old users into the new system. If I try to use system-> administration -> users and groups it yells at me because the directory already exists | 06:52 |
| yell0w | Mariner_13: that's while i asked, how to pipe something to wget | 06:52 |
| locainex | and it did work for about a minute, but then it stopped again | 06:52 |
| elbermungster | I still have the RC's theme | 06:52 |
| Saga_ | Where in the Ubuntu system can I find rc-status file? A "list" that will be run upon the boot. | 06:52 |
| elbermungster | can someone help me out? | 06:52 |
| mindrape | yell0w: try something like this.................. for i in `find / -iname text -print0 | xargs -0 cat >> file; do chage $i; done; | 06:53 |
| locainex | /etc/rc* | 06:53 |
| mindrape | err... do wget $i | 06:53 |
| locainex | hmm i know a devin that was in md... | 06:53 |
| mindrape | yell0w: for i in `find / -iname text -print0 | xargs -0 cat >> file`; do wget $i; done; | 06:53 |
| locainex | but maybe he is in va now.. | 06:53 |
| locainex | lol | 06:53 |
| devin | hmm, | 06:53 |
| elbermungster | and when I open Wine or Totem, My screen flashes. this never happened in Hardy. can someone please help? | 06:53 |
| devin | well oddly enough im from md | 06:54 |
| a1242 | how do I add an already existing user ( clean install... but kept /home ) | 06:54 |
| canthony | mindrape, how did you install oo3 | 06:54 |
| mindrape | canthony - pull the .deb.tar.gz from openoffice.org and tar -zxvf the .tar.gz then dpkg -i it | 06:54 |
| joebodo | elbermungster continually flashes ? | 06:54 |
| locainex | devin, west gate? cos if you are, this would indeed be a small world... | 06:54 |
| canthony | mindrape, ok i just wanted to know where you got it | 06:54 |
| elbermungster | no, after it opens up, it stops. | 06:55 |
| bullgard4 | ag90: Ok. Thank you for explaining. | 06:55 |
| ag90 | elbermungster: Just to be sure, run gstreamer-properties and make it use the "X Windows System (No Xv)" plugin under the video tab | 06:55 |
| ardchoille | Installing nvidia drivers the recommended way leaves my tty's blank, is there a fix for this yet? | 06:55 |
| ag90 | elbermungster: That just might fix it | 06:55 |
| joebodo | elbermungster video card type ? | 06:55 |
| devin | locainex i did alil growing up in catonsville md im currently in hagerstown md | 06:55 |
| Mariner_13 | yell0w: i have to think a bit on it.. | 06:56 |
| a1242 | how do I add a user? | 06:56 |
| mindrape | man adduser | 06:56 |
| ardchoille | thank you mindrape | 06:56 |
| a1242 | mindrape what if the user's home directory already exists? | 06:56 |
| mindrape | a1242 - man adduser and you can define the existing dir and the perms will get updated. | 06:56 |
| Saga_ | locainex, It's not what I'm looking for -- I want to know their status too -- Are they running? [started], etc. | 06:57 |
| mindrape | if not then man chown | 06:57 |
| yell0w | mindrape: doesn't work | 06:57 |
| elbermungster | hmmm, an Intel 915GM cipset | 06:57 |
| elbermungster | the screen flashes with wine too | 06:57 |
| ag90 | elbermungster, you have to configure it to use X11. You can do that for totem from gstreamer-properties | 06:58 |
| devin | anyhow, having an issue. when i open up Nautilus it opens uo VLC anyone know how to fix this? | 06:58 |
| Saga_ | locainex: http://linuxreviews.org/man/rc-status/ <-- | 06:58 |

| elbermungster | okay, that fixes Totem. | 07:01 |
| elbermungster | but what about Wine? | 07:01 |

| locainex | remove the directory nibsa1242? | 07:02 |
| locainex | this a new user? | 07:02 |
| locainex | or just add the user and link the /home dir later | 07:02 |
| streen | is there a place in the GUI in 8.10 to change your hostname? | 07:02 |
| nibsa1242 | locainex: no, its from my old install... just did a clean install but kept the /home partition | 07:02 |
| smokewon | Hey is there a deb package for the aurora gtk engine? i tried to compile it but it says that it cant find GTK (im using Ubuntu 8.10, not kubuntu) | 07:03 |
| locainex | nibsa1242: you picked a new username and want to reassociate it with an old home dir? | 07:03 |
| liufangjin | Helloooo | 07:04 |
| mindrape | hi | 07:04 |
| nibsa1242 | locainex: no, I have about 4 users on this machine... they all have directories in /home and need user accounts so they can log in | 07:04 |
| mindrape | liufangjin: you really shouldn't IRC as root... | 07:04 |
| smokewon | anyone? | 07:05 |
| igor_ | Hi | 07:05 |
| mindrape | smokewon - google is your best bet there... search for ubuntu aurora gtk engine deb download | 07:05 |
| nibsa1242 | locainex: but the admin->users and groups gets annoyed because their home directories already exist | 07:05 |
| mindrape | hey igor_ | 07:05 |
| locainex | thought there was something for that in the installer now nibsa1242 :/ but maybe it doesnt work right | 07:06 |
| igor_ | speek rasha | 07:06 |
| locainex | hm | 07:06 |
| mindrape | igor_ - #ubuntu-ru | 07:06 |
| igor_ | senks | 07:06 |
| locainex | well nibsa1242 you tried to manually create the users on the commandline, without giving them a home dir | 07:07 |
| streenz | how do I change the password for my shares over a LAN? I'm using samba thru the right click-- Properties -- Share tab | 07:07 |
| locainex | you can add that in later in the gui | 07:07 |
| locainex | easiest way i can think of to fix it | 07:07 |
| nibsa1242 | locainex: I just installed and it didn't ask me anything or set them up properly... I installed from live cd... perhaps alternate had options. I normally do alternate, seems to be more configurable. | 07:07 |
| locainex | or work around it | 07:07 |
| locainex | yeah ive done a few installs and its only asked to import a fraction of those times | 07:07 |
| aaron | how do I navigate to different folders in terminal? | 07:07 |
| nibsa1242 | locainex: no I'll try that, I've never created a user that way before, so I was afraid to do that. | 07:07 |
| locainex | theres good steps on the forums nibsa1242 | 07:08 |

| vnix | I installed my Grub Loader with windows partition and now I want to reformat my Windows. What should I do to preserve my Grub Loader? | 07:10 |
| vnix | Thanks | 07:11 |
| nibsa1242 | vnix put windows on a different hard disk | 07:11 |
| dotblank | dd if=/dev/(your block device) of=mbr.img bs=512 count=1 | 07:12 |
| vnix | I try once where I install Grub with my Linux partition and I reformat my Windows. After finish everything, it just boot into windows without Grub loader | 07:13 |
| locainex | vnix: also a good idea just in case to keep a backup of your /boot/grub on a thumbdrive or something.. can always fix it with a live cd | 07:13 |
| locainex | oh you need to fix the mbr in that case | 07:13 |
| voox | how can I replace my current video driver with i810? | 07:13 |
| locainex | always when possible install windows first :P its such a princess... | 07:13 |
| mindrape | get the driver and modprobe drivername | 07:13 |
| voox | thanks | 07:13 |
| dotblank | What I would do is backup grub mbr install windows then in the boot.ini file add an entry for the grubmbr image and make that default that way the nt loader finds grub | 07:14 |
| voox | well, if i do that will it auto use that driver everytime? | 07:14 |

| psypher246 | hey all. could someone quick explain to me the encrypted private directory in intrepid. i have done all the setup and can access it and safely encrypt files, but i want to know, it is suppose to automatically mount on startup or do i have to dbl click that link inside the folder everytime, i have seen some howto's mention you can store your .ssh files in there, will that work if it doesn't automount. thanks | 07:20 |
| serialtux | are there any known issues with Seagate drives. My comp locks up sometimes when I access my 500GB Seagate drive SATA. | 07:21 |
| mindrape | djhedges: what would you like it to have? | 07:21 |
| serialtux | I am using 8.04 as well | 07:21 |
| Mariner_13 | djhedges: probably because 'sh' is the default shell | 07:21 |
| djhedges | Mariner_13: that was it thx | 07:22 |
| Mariner_13 | djhedges: np | 07:22 |
| Mariner_13 | djhedges: you probably want 'bash' i guess ? | 07:23 |
| djhedges | Mariner_13: yea why does it default to sh? | 07:23 |
| russell__ | Wow linux/ubuntu >> windows | 07:23 |
| russell__ | Now I don't have to pirate apps anymore: Go OSS | 07:24 |
| Sorcererbob | lol | 07:24 |
| Sorcererbob | welcome to the club :D | 07:24 |
| * les pirates ubuntu | 07:24 | |
| russell__ | linux is really powerful | 07:24 |
| mindrape | russell__: yes, it powers my entire left arm. | 07:24 |
| feng | hello | 07:24 |
| djhedges | russell__: you have no idea | 07:24 |
| Mariner_13 | djhedges: because its the default setting.. | 07:25 |
| russell__ | if it were not for the crappy perforamce I got from vista I never would have tried linux | 07:25 |
| djhedges | Mariner_13: why does ubuntu use that? when you create a user during install it's bash | 07:25 |
| feng | so do I | 07:25 |
| russell__ | ubuntu: boots faster, shuts down faster,has better desktop,free etc..... | 07:26 |
| russell__ | all colleges/schools should switch | 07:26 |

| ditch64 | is there a way that i can restore the filesystem while booted? | 07:27 |
| Sinister | monkey | 07:27 |
| Mariner_13 | djhedges: that i dont think is ubundo only, its the make user thats uses sh as default.. | 07:27 |
| Mariner_13 | djhedges: you can set bash as shell for user when making new user | 07:28 |
| djhedges | Mariner_13: useradd -D -s /bin/bash | 07:28 |
| russell__ | Now, back to "The Precious" | 07:28 |
| aaron | oh yeah when I installed ubuntu I made a partition for it on my harddrive but my windows partion only has 300 megs free of space is that dangerous ^^? | 07:28 |
| Mariner_13 | djhedges: -s 'shell' yes.. | 07:29 |
| Makuseru | Does anyone know how to make subtitles appear in a .mkv my default, instead of having to chnage that they are displayed after opening it in a video player? | 07:29 |
| serialtux | aaron--- nope it's not dangerous because you'll never want to you use windows again | 07:30 |
| djhedges | Mariner_13: the -D will set the defaults so the next time I can just create a user with useradd -m username | 07:30 |
| aaron | haha perhaps...but seriously I meant for system stability I do want to use it for gaming. | 07:30 |
| Mariner_13 | Makuseru: same name on subtitle file? vlc automaticly then adds the subtitle.. | 07:30 |
| updates | question: how to undelete folder in ext3 please? | 07:30 |
| mrpockets | can you upgrade to openoffice 3 with 8.04? | 07:30 |
| Makuseru | Mariner_13: its not a subtitle file, the subs are built into the MKV | 07:31 |
| seuaniu | aaron: in reality, you'll need more space for your windows install, since the next program that you install in windows will be capable of filling it up | 07:31 |
| serialtux | aaron: if you are really worried about it you can install gparted and give windows some more space. You might need to boot with a live CD to do it though. | 07:31 |
| aaron | I see...I made a bad mistake so gparted will allow me to resize the partition without deleteing either OS? | 07:32 |
| Mariner_13 | djhedges: try that, if not you must use '-s' | 07:32 |
| gotmotop | vk | 07:32 |
| Mariner_13 | Makuseru: then i dont know | 07:32 |
| serialtux | aaron: yes. But you might need to boot with a live CD first. That's because you can't change a partition while it is mounted. | 07:33 |
| aaron | In use you mean right? | 07:33 |
| misteralexander | I have to re-install Linux, but I don't want to loose my programs, updates & preferences. Is there a way to take a "Snapshot" of my system that I can restore after I've formatted & re-installed? | 07:34 |
| les | misteralexander: programs and updates not really. for preferences backing up your home directory will work. | 07:35 |
| serialtux | misteralexander: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 | 07:35 |

| gluonman | I'm have a quandary concerning .rar archives. I have a series of archives that I downloaded from rapidshare (part1 through part6). I assumed unpacking all of them would contribute to a completed file. Instead, part1 is a completed file and part2 through part6 all open and read from part1.rar when I click on them. Does anyone know why this is? | 07:43 |
| compu73rg33k | what's the package for extra compiz options/ | 07:44 |
| marek_ | hi what shoud i loa to use sata dvd drive? modprobe ... ? | 07:45 |
| === BaD-CrC is now known as BaD_CrC | ||
| les | gluonman: parts2-6 are just chunks of part1. rar archives are commonly split into multiple files. so whatever file you have was decompressed using all the parts. | 07:45 |
| gluonman | les, so when I decompressed part1, it decompressed all of them and I no longer need the others? | 07:46 |
| yell0w | hey guys, you know when you do right click on a file, properties, then open with , then choose default program to open that file ? well, how to do that in terminal ? | 07:46 |
| les | gluonman: correct | 07:46 |
| gluonman | les, thank you. | 07:46 |
| gluonman | compu73rg33k, you can get the extra compiz plugins from gits. | 07:47 |
| gluonman | compu73rg33k, you can go to gitweb and find them. | 07:47 |
| les | compu73rg33k: if you're looking for the ui for more options, apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 07:48 |

| glaksmono | after yo compile it, and then how do you execute it? | 07:48 |
| faryshta | What is the driver for cd/dvd? | 07:49 |
| gluonman | compu73rg33k, yes, compizconfig-settings-manager is needed to change the features. But also, you should make sure you have the latest version of compiz, in which case you can add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/compiz/ubuntu intrepid main (or if you aren't using intrepid you can replace that with your version of Ubuntu) to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Then sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 07:51 |
| gluonman | compu73rg33k, and if you want to install extra plugins not already included, I can help you with that as well. | 07:51 |
| compu73rg33k | Nah i'm just looking to rekey some desktop things like the windows switcher and stuff. What is the configuration file's path though, I'd like to back up my config | 07:52 |

| glaksmono | so i thoguht that we don't need to restart | 08:32 |
| glaksmono | hmm.. | 08:32 |
| FloodBot2 | glaksmono: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:32 |
| glaksmono | FloodBot1, my bad | 08:32 |
| im | ziroday i cant play warcraft it says unable to initialize... | 08:32 |
| ziroday | im: according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver the open source driver should have full 3d support. | 08:32 |
| ziroday | im: um, that is most probably a wine issue, not an graphics card one | 08:33 |
| Mariner_13 | glaksmono: then is should work.. | 08:33 |
| im | ziroday can u help me abput wine? | 08:33 |
| ziroday | im: did you disable compiz (desktop effects) before starting? | 08:33 |
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, exactly.. but it doesn't.. :(.. | 08:33 |
| im | ziroday befor the game start? | 08:33 |
| ziroday | im: yes | 08:33 |
| im | ziroday no let me try | 08:34 |
| im | ty | 08:34 |
| Lynoure | rww: the paper size is correct, but the margins come out about 5mm wide, not wide enough for punching | 08:34 |
| ziroday | im: you will also want to read http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3126 | 08:34 |
| im | ziroday and can u tell me how can i reinstall opensource graphic card? | 08:34 |
| rww | Lynoure: the "Manage Custom Sizes" panel has both paper size and margins options | 08:34 |
| glaksmono | btw, Mariner_13 it says the type file of the fim_all is executable (application/x-executable) | 08:34 |
| ziroday | im: um, well you can reinstall the package xserver-xorg-driver-ati | 08:35 |
| im | ziroday i read it for one week:) | 08:35 |
| Lynoure | rww: thanks | 08:35 |
| ziroday | im: you may also want to ask in #winehq | 08:35 |
| Mariner_13 | glaksmono: do you find any help here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html | 08:36 |
| F-3000_test | ziroday: Result was rather clear... The led didn't work *at all* now. | 08:36 |
| ziroday | F-3000_test: sounds like a hardware, not a software issue :) | 08:37 |
| Mariner_13 | glaksmono: can i get the ccp file and try to compile it? | 08:38 |
| F-3000_test | ziroday: Yep. But sometimes hardware-issues can be controlled with software-solutions. :P | 08:38 |
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, sure.. it would take too long though if you haven't setup the intel C++ compiler | 08:38 |
| Mariner_13 | glaksmono: i have g++ installed | 08:39 |
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, I'm sending you the file | 08:39 |
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, it won't work using G++ | 08:39 |
| glaksmono | you have to use intel c++ compiler | 08:39 |
| Mariner_13 | glaksmono: why cant i compile a .cpp file wit g++? | 08:41 |
| === [baddog][bbs] is now known as [baddog] | ||
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, umm.. not sure | 08:42 |
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, i just use the makefile | 08:42 |
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, i don't compile them one by one | 08:42 |
| milligan_ | Is it possibly to chown mysql databases to system users, so the db is included in quota calculation ? | 08:42 |
| glaksmono | so.. and the makefile uses icpc command | 08:42 |
| glaksmono | which is specific to the intel compiler | 08:42 |
| omucuvaca | hello...where can i add <sudo alsa force-reload> so that it starts every time i enter gnome? | 08:42 |
| omucuvaca | maybe without prompting for a password too | 08:43 |
| omucuvaca | i'm using ubuntu studio, btw | 08:43 |
| rww | omucuvaca: System > Preferences > Sessions (that's the Ubuntu name for it, anyway) | 08:43 |
| rww | omucuvaca: though you'll probably want to change the "sudo" to "gksudo" | 08:43 |
| Mariner_13 | glaksmono: ok.. you try installing another c++ compiler? | 08:43 |
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, I did | 08:44 |
| glaksmono | Mariner_13, I've installed it properly | 08:44 |
| omucuvaca | thanx rww ...will i be prompted for my sudo password? | 08:44 |

| [eXception] | ziroday: downloaded with the system/ hardware option | 08:46 |

| === sean is now known as Guest4098 | ||
| ziroday | [eXception]: okay those are the closed source (nvidia) one | 08:46 |
| [eXception] | yes ziroday | 08:46 |
| ziroday | [eXception]: thats a known bug, have you tried using the nvidia-settings app? | 08:47 |
| omucuvaca | or maybe there is a way to grant alsa more user permissions, and stop using gksudo every time i want to change sound settings | 08:47 |
| [eXception] | ziroday: where is that? | 08:47 |
| ziroday | [eXception]: you need to install the nvidia-settings package | 08:47 |

| kjelle | Hello. I have Ubuntu Hardy server 8.04, running kernel 2.6.18-028stab057.2. I cannot find linux-headers in apt-cache, as i need them to make a fuse module. How do i fix this? | 08:57 |
| Violetbass | anyone? | 08:57 |
| ziroday | kjelle: I believe thats not a normal kernel, where did you get it from? | 08:58 |
| hot_wheelz | just a quick one...can anyone confirm that Broadcom wifi drivers work OOTB in 8.10 | 08:59 |
| joot | chmac: I was recently told that modern hard drives are much harder to recover data from but I really cant help you with your question | 08:59 |
| ziroday | kjelle: furthermore the kernel version should be at .24, that is not an ubuntu kernel | 08:59 |
| kjelle | ziroday: I have bought a VPS server from some folks, "owning" this virtual machine and having a hostname on it. I think bad things will happen if i throw inn 8.6.24-18 or something and reboot :p | 08:59 |
| chmac | joot: Yeah, one wipe is probably enough, but it's a small drive, so I figured I'd give it 2 just for the hell of it! :) | 08:59 |
| kjelle | *2.6.24-18 i mean | 08:59 |
| ziroday | hot_wheelz: they probably won't | 08:59 |
| ziroday | kjelle: well then you need to talk to the people who own your vps about where on earth they got their kernel on and where the headers are for it | 09:00 |
| joot | chmac: try running a data recovery program and see what happens :-)) | 09:01 |
| kjelle | ziroday: gotcha, sending aggressive mail to support :) | 09:01 |
| hot_wheelz | ziroday dam :-( | 09:01 |
| ziroday | kjelle: :) | 09:01 |
| chmac | joot: lol, the disk was already encrypted, so I don't think data recovery will turn up much! :) | 09:01 |
| chmac | joot: I just want to give it a quick "wipe" before giving it away | 09:01 |
| ziroday | hot_wheelz: err you will probably need to install the b43-fwcutter pacakge | 09:01 |
| chmac | I'm looking into frandom, seems to be suitable for my needs | 09:01 |
| joot | chmac: Are you giving it to Linus Lol | 09:02 |
| ziroday | kjelle: it could very well turn out to be thier custom kernel which they have optimized for thier vps. | 09:02 |
| mfoniso | how do I join the ubuntu-translators group on launchpad? | 09:02 |
| chmac | joot: lol, not even sure I'm actually giving it away yet, just want to feel safe that's "clean" :) | 09:02 |
| ziroday | chmac: you can just format the drives with 0 and that should be enough | 09:02 |
| hot_wheelz | ziroday even if it was done in 8.04? | 09:02 |
| chmac | ziroday: Yeah, that's definitely an option, given that it was already an encrypted drive :) | 09:02 |
| ziroday | hot_wheelz: oh for hardy its a different package. One sec | 09:03 |
| joot | chmac: My guess is that it will be ok! | 09:03 |
| [eXception] | wow thats ool | 09:03 |

| Flannel | nonno: /usr/local/sbin | 09:08 |
| joot | tobiassjosten: yes I did but I do not know why | 09:08 |

| tobiassjosten | joot: Did you fix it? | 09:09 |
| hot_wheelz | ah ok got it thx | 09:09 |
| joot | tobiassjosten: yes went bask to 8.04 | 09:09 |
| joot | back | 09:09 |
| rww | spolvid: do you have a USB keyboard? If so, you might need to enable a setting in your BIOS, probably named "legacy USB support" or something similar | 09:09 |
| Flannel | nonno: /usr/local/* is the place for you to put stuff that isn't under package management, and then sbin is the place for super user executables. | 09:09 |
| spolvid | rww: I'm using a Mac, so I don't believe I have a BIOS. | 09:09 |
| drog | spolvid, It's probably not grub, but your bios that is not detecting the keyboard. | 09:09 |
| wartalker | i update yesterday, my network does not work, i am 8.10, help? | 09:10 |
| drog | wartalker, wired or wireless? | 09:10 |
| rww | spolvid: You use a Mac? I have no idea, then... | 09:10 |

| bullgard4 | In what file does Firefox 3.0.3 store its bookmarks? | 09:12 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: its in an sql database | 09:13 |
| ziroday | paranoid_ndroid: hmm according to http://hardware4linux.info/component/14451/ your reader should work OOTB on kernels .24 and above | 09:13 |
| AdvoWork | you know when viewing folders in the file system,at the moment mine by default always show View as Icons, can i make it always auto to View as List? | 09:13 |
| joebodo | bullgard4 you can export them into an html file | 09:13 |
| wartalker | drog: only has wireless | 09:13 |
| ziroday | AdvoWork: look in View | 09:13 |
| spolvid | Flannel: I have an EFI bootloader. | 09:13 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: Excellent! And in which one? | 09:14 |
| rww | bullgard4: ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profileID>/bookmarkbackups/. If you just need a copy of them, open Firefox and do Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import and Backup | 09:14 |
| drog | wartalker, have you checked your /etc/network/interfaces file for eth0? | 09:14 |
| ziroday | AdvoWork: woops I mean Edit > Preferences | 09:14 |
| hot_wheelz | ziroday 1 more question if that's ok? | 09:14 |
| drog | wartalker, and checked lsmod and lspci to see if the card is detected on boot and if it has a driver running? | 09:14 |
| jwtodd | hey all. i've got an nv 8800 video card and a samsung t220 capable of 1680x1050, yet i can't as of yet get ubuntu to go beyond 1280x1024. any ideas? | 09:14 |
| spolvid | Flannel: Is there a way I can get it to load Ubuntu directly without going through GRUB? | 09:14 |
| ziroday | hot_wheelz: of course it is, but ask the whole channel not me :) | 09:14 |
| rww | bullgard4: I think they might be elsewhere in your profile folder too, including the places file and bookmarks.html | 09:14 |
| ziroday | jwtodd: installed the nvidia drivers? | 09:14 |
| wartalker | drog:interfaces only lo | 09:15 |
| jwtodd | yeah ... just installed ... | 09:15 |
| ziroday | jwtodd: tried the nvidia-settings app | 09:15 |
| jwtodd | NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.80 | 09:15 |
| hot_wheelz | np :-) | 09:15 |
| drog | wartalker, check if the device is detected on lspci|grep network or something like that and check if there is a driver loaded for it lsmod | 09:15 |
| Flannel | spolvid: Read the link, and it should cover using rEFIt, or at least link to it (it'll also explain hwo to get the BIOS compat going) | 09:16 |
| wartalker | drog: thanks | 09:16 |
| ziroday | jwtodd: um, you shouldn't install the drivers like that :) | 09:16 |
| jwtodd | ziroday: did that and only saw up to 1280x1024 available | 09:16 |
| ziroday | !nvidia | jwtodd remove those drivers and install them according to these instructions | 09:16 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: No idea. One of the ones in your firefox folder. I think all of that data is stored in the same one (because awesomebar searches in all of them) | 09:16 |
| ubottu | jwtodd remove those drivers and install them according to these instructions: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:16 |
| drog | wartalker, you can google the appropriate driver and add it to /etc/modules | 09:16 |
| jwtodd | heh ... what's the preferred way? | 09:16 |
| drog | wartalker, based on the lspci device information | 09:17 |

| ardchoille | glaksmono: Me too, and I've tried, but I don't think I'm smart enough to code | 09:25 |
| glaksmono | ardchoille, like to work with codes | 09:25 |

| === kiosk is now known as naruto | ||
| glaksmono | FREE and easy to use obviously.. | 09:26 |
| === marko__ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| rww | bullgard4: 1. back up your profile folder somewhere safe. 2. Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Restore > 2008-11-07 | 09:27 |
| glaksmono | Ubuntu is nice in the sense that it gives the user choice proprietary vs OS software | 09:27 |
| glaksmono | but i think it needs more connections with software developers.. hmm.. is there a guy that specificially go over companies? | 09:27 |
| glaksmono | hmm.. | 09:28 |
| Acedip | hey guys how do i add fluxbox to my GDM, using ubuntu intrepid | 09:28 |
| rww | bullgard4: doing a bookmarks restore will reset your bookmarks back to the way they were at that restore point. Old stuff gets restored, but new stuff gets lost. | 09:28 |
| bullgard4 | rww: My 'profile folder' is /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/<profile-ID.default>/ ? | 09:29 |
| rww | bullgard4: btw, Firefox has their own IRC channel, and might be a little more knowledgable about this sort of thing. server: irc.mozilla.org, channel: #firefox | 09:29 |
| rww | bullgard4: yeah | 09:29 |
| ziroday | Acedip: if you install the fluxbox packages it should do it automatically | 09:30 |
| Acedip | ziroday: but it did not happen | 09:31 |
| ardchoille | ziroday: Is that fixed now? | 09:31 |
| ardchoille | It wasn't working that way in Edgy and Feisty | 09:31 |
| ziroday | ardchoille: sorry whats fixed? | 09:31 |
| Algyz | Hi, I would like to add user (administrator) to the specified home directory, with the specified id. Gnome is telling, that directory already exists. Any other ways to do this? | 09:32 |
| ziroday | Acedip: erm it shoulda, gimme a sec | 09:32 |
| ziroday | Acedip: take a look at http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Howto_add_fluxbox_to_gdm | 09:32 |
| ardchoille | Acedip: iirc, you have to add fluxbox to /usr/share/xsessions | 09:33 |

| KingOfDos | i cannot select the right "input" from ALSA :( | 09:43 |
| KingOfDos | (right, as in "correct") | 09:43 |
| ardchoille | sbingner: because that's a "dirty" way of doing it, nothing gets saved if something needs to be saved | 09:43 |
| z4w3p | hye guys.. anyone know what's the best tool for cpu scaling & monitor? | 09:43 |
| sbingner | ardchoille, hence the sledgehammer part | 09:43 |
| Ohmu | can someone help me differentiate pulseaudio and ALSA? Are they alternatives? | 09:43 |
| ardchoille | haha | 09:43 |
| Acedip | ardchoille: brb after doing that | 09:44 |
| sbingner | really tho I'd just log out then use ctrl-alt-bksp tho... long as you're logged out it's really not much different | 09:44 |
| ardchoille | Acedip: wait | 09:44 |
| Acedip | ardchoille: hmm ?? | 09:44 |
| ardchoille | Acedip: typo, it's: sudo/etc/init.d/gdm restart | 09:44 |

| floating | anyone using u-lite ? | 09:50 |
| south_korea | never heard of it | 09:50 |
| ditch64 | filesystem* | 09:50 |
| south_korea | anyknow knows about java connectionPool ? | 09:51 |
| south_korea | anyone | 09:51 |
| ikonia | south_korea: in what respect | 09:51 |
| south_korea | ikonia, hi | 09:51 |
| ikonia | south_korea: saying "anyone" is pointless as if they didn't see the question, "anyone" doesn't tell them the question, if they don't know the answer "anyone" won't make them know | 09:52 |
| ikonia | south_korea: what's the issue | 09:52 |
| ditch64 | i messed with the partition size after i installed ubuntu, i forgot to back up despite all the warnings... i know, and now it boots only when im running on battery because it skips the systemcheck | 09:52 |
| south_korea | ikonia, thanks well a good structure about connectionPool | 09:52 |
| south_korea | ikonia, i mean about logic flow | 09:52 |
| ikonia | south_korea this isn othing to do with ubuntu, if you go to java.sun.com there aer docs on how java + connection polling work | 09:53 |
| south_korea | ikonia, ok :) thanks ~ | 09:53 |
| south_korea | ikonia, have nice chat ~ :) bye ~ | 09:53 |
| ditch64 | ikonia, do you know how to install the filesystem with the live cd? without doing a full install? | 09:54 |

| ikonia | ditch64 what do you mean install the file system ? | 09:54 |
| ditch64 | like, im getting all these buffer I/O errors and bascially i need to reinstall the whole system | 09:55 |
| Acedip | ardchoille: man, it dint work | 09:55 |
| ikonia | ditch64 then you have to lose everything | 09:55 |
| Acedip | ardchoille: fluxbox dint turn up | 09:55 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: ...... way to solve the problem | 09:55 |
| ikonia | ditch64 thats the fact | 09:55 |
| ardchoille | Acedip: So much has changed, I don't know how to get it to appear now. | 09:56 |
| ditch64 | sorry, but that was just blunt, no i know you can reinstall JUST the filesystem | 09:56 |
| ikonia | ditch64: if you wish to re-install a file system - you will lose everything on that file system | 09:56 |
| kicco | !grub | 09:56 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:56 |
| ikonia | ditch64: no you can't | 09:56 |
| ikonia | ditch64: if you install the file system everything on that existing file system will be deleted | 09:56 |
| ditch64 | if you can back it up and restore it then im sure theres an alternative method | 09:56 |
| ikonia | ditch64: no there is not | 09:56 |
| ditch64 | hm | 09:56 |
| * rww accidentally the whole file system | 09:56 | |
| ikonia | ditch64: if you can back it up - yes, back it up, put a new file system on, and then restore it | 09:56 |
| ditch64 | well how about replacing the bad files? | 09:57 |
| ikonia | bad files ? | 09:57 |
| ikonia | what do you mean | 09:57 |
| Acedip | ardchoille: what say lets try ctrl+alt+f2 and then xstart /usr/bin/fluxbox | 09:57 |
| ditch64 | mhmm, well i messed up something, in a fsck it identifies the problems | 09:57 |
| ditch64 | now i need to fix those problems lol | 09:57 |

| ikonia | Acedip if you install fluxbox from the repo does it not add it for you automaticlly | 10:12 |

| ikonia | ditch64: very | 10:14 |
| ditch64 | damn | 10:14 |
| ditch64 | this is so annoying | 10:15 |
| Acedip | ActionParsnip1: ya..but could you plz explain the /etc/gdm/session directory they'are talking about, its not there | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Acedip: If the /etc/gdm directory doesn't exist, it may be /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/fluxbox on your computer. | 10:15 |
| ikonia | Acedip what version of ubuntu are you using | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Acedip: do you have /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions ? | 10:16 |
| Acedip | ikonia: 8.10 | 10:16 |
| Acedip | ActionParsnip1: no its not there | 10:17 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Acedip: and if you log off and click on the session types you have there is no fluxbox there? | 10:20 |
| kicco | question: ubiquity crashes when almost done, when trying to install grub manually it spits out "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device" | 10:20 |
| Slart | IcyPolecat: might be a driver issue.. you can use nvclock to reset the fans to autospeed "nvclock -f -F auto" or something like that | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Acedip: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/pics/gdm/gdm-login.jpg | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kicco: is boot mounted? is it a true directoryor are you using it as a mount point? | 10:22 |

| shane_ | Irini: just use what the bot says, ok? | 10:30 |

| macvr | ikonia: this was the xorg that i was using in ubuntu 8.04... i thought that the section synaptics was the section for gsynaptics , since i need to add the >>Option"SHMConfig""on" here ... | 10:30 |
| Slart | IcyPolecat: there is a setup script you have to run the first time.. | 10:30 |

| ikonia | shane_: msn isn't on linux, what are you using ? | 10:31 |
| Slart | selinuxium: nah.. flash uses a workaround.. apart from that it should be fine | 10:31 |

| IcyPolecat | Slart: not the most helpful app I've ever used - it only reports my CPU temp ... which I can already access through acpi | 10:32 |
| irini | i need the synaptic package manager? | 10:32 |
| shane_ | irini: you already have that | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shane_: is the mic muted, is the soundcard configured ok? does the mic work in other apps | 10:32 |
| ikonia | irini: we don't need ;) :D lol things like that, just try to be exact and state facts on as few lines as possible | 10:32 |
| irini | ow | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Acedip: better? | 10:33 |
| irini | ey be easy XD | 10:33 |
| Slart | IcyPolecat: it varies from computer to computer, I can see all my fans, several temperatures etc.. perhaps it doesn't recognize your sensor chips | 10:33 |
| irini | just downloaded this linux ubuntu | 10:33 |
| shane_ | Action: The microphone only plays through the speakers, when I'm not trying to use the mic, however, the mic will not work on aMSN , or userplane chat. | 10:33 |
| IcyPolecat | Slart: possibly | 10:33 |
| Acedip | ActionParsnip1: better !! thanks a tonne man.. | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Acedip: we told you it was there, just couldnt see it for looking | 10:34 |
| Acedip | ActionParsnip1: its was foolishly easy.. | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Acedip: welcome to fluxbox. its great :D | 10:34 |
| IcyPolecat | Slart: am going to roll back the Nvidia driver and see if that makes a difference. The only reason I install it is to get Cinerama working reliably | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Acedip: linux is | 10:34 |
| irini | huh | 10:34 |
| Acedip | ActionParsnip1: ya..true :D | 10:34 |
| kke | can i get icons back for gnome-terminal in 8.10? there's no profile icon setting anymore for some reason, it was nice on 8.04 | 10:34 |

| Acedip | lol | 10:34 |
| mboman | I got problems booting 8.10 on my computers, even virtual ones (vmware). Is that a known issue? | 10:34 |
| irini | but how 2 play et | 10:34 |
| Slart | IcyPolecat: ah.. well, do that and see if it makes things better.. perhaps nvidia will release a new driver eventually | 10:34 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: i dont get what your saying | 10:35 |
| bazhang | irini, open up synaptic package manager; install the fonts | 10:35 |
| IcyPolecat | Slart: maybe - not holding my breath! | 10:35 |
| wartalker | my wired network does not work afther i update, i am i 8.10. my card is Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX, help? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | irini: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory | 10:35 |
| Slart | IcyPolecat: no... that rarely works with nvidia =) | 10:35 |
| shane_ | Seeing as no one can help with my microphone issue, Does anyone know why my disk drives would stop working? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | chilli0 no problem, so if you've made an application/script/whatever you must know how to stop/start it - once you know how to stop start it you can script the stopping and starting into an init script | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | irini: simple websearch, its in the official documentation | 10:35 |

| ditch64 | does anybody know of any good rescue CDs? | 10:36 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: the script runs when i run it its just a python one i want it to auto start when i go to restart the computer | 10:36 |
| shane_ | Irini: Just some advice, any websites you find usefull, bookmark, I can gaurantee you will need them again. | 10:36 |
| ikonia | !init > chilli0 | 10:36 |
| ubottu | chilli0, please see my private message | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ditch64: live ubuntu cd | 10:36 |
| bazhang | mboman, did you md5 the iso | 10:36 |
| ditch64 | ActionParsnip1: how do i access it though? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | chilli0: use the existing scripts as an example | 10:37 |
| Slart | shane_: I assume you don't mean you have a disc crash? | 10:37 |
| z0r | hi all. I have this strange problem with my audio in Intrepid. It works fine for a while, but all of a sudden it just stops working. Any apps that try to use the sound card after that freeze | 10:37 |
| ditch64 | ActionParsnip1: where is the option on it | 10:37 |
| ikonia | ditch64: I'm still waiting to find out what you do to cause the error, and what the exact error is | 10:37 |
| mboman | bazhang: can't remember. Let me do it to make sure | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ditch64: you boot to the cd you used to install, youo can mount your drves and copy data / do whatever | 10:37 |
| z0r | i'm not sure what i should be searching for on the net. I looked for things about my sound card but nothing in particular showed up | 10:37 |
| shane_ | Slart: no, xubuntu just stopped reading my cd, and dvd drives | 10:37 |
| ikonia | ditch64: instead of asking for random things, get the error and what you did to cause the error and we can try to resolve it | 10:37 |
| z0r | is there a known problem with pulseaudio? | 10:37 |
| Slart | shane_: any errors in dmesg, syslog or such? | 10:38 |
| bazhang | mboman, is this hardy or ibex | 10:38 |
| irini | shane | 10:38 |
| shane_ | slart: how do i run dmesg | 10:38 |
| irini | shane | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: when i try to cd to /etc/rc.local i get this error bash: cd: /etc/rc.local: Not a directory | 10:38 |
| Slart | shane_: dmesg in a terminal =) | 10:38 |
| irini | give me your msn | 10:38 |
| irini | shane give me your msn | 10:38 |
| mboman | bazhang: 8.10 is ibex | 10:38 |
| ikonia | chilli0 it's a file | 10:38 |
| shane_ | xnintendoxcore@hotmail.com | 10:38 |
| ikonia | chilli0: it's not a directory | 10:38 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: ok, let me reboot and get the errors | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shane_: you'll find most advice here is a terminal command | 10:38 |
| ikonia | chilli0: the error even says "not a directory" | 10:39 |
| shane_ | ive been using linux a week now | 10:39 |
| bazhang | mboman, why not use virtual box; it is much easier to use and setup | 10:39 |
| Slart | shane_: you can also run dmesg > output.txt and open that file in whatever texteditor you want | 10:39 |
| irini | i 1day XD | 10:39 |
| shane_ | seem to have picked it up pretty quickly | 10:39 |
| irini | shane come online :D | 10:39 |
| chilli0 | o | 10:39 |
| bazhang | irini, this is not a chat channel | 10:39 |
| shane_ | slart: lots of errors towards the bottom | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Slart: or you can pipe it into less ;) | 10:40 |
| AdvoWork | will doing chmod 777 -r /home/myfolder/ give 777 permission to all folders, even folders that havent yet been created? | 10:40 |
| shane_ | slart: something about block. wich also pops up when trying to use my cd/dvd drives | 10:40 |
| Slart | shane_: can you pastebin the errors? type !pastebin for more info | 10:40 |
| mboman | bazhang: because my main desktop is running Windows? | 10:40 |

| sinan | I am trying to build a very simple kernel module (just to learn about kernel modules). When i compile, it says "linux/config.h: No such file or directory", any idea if that file should exist or not? | 10:41 |
| irini | where i find the synsptic | 10:41 |
| irini | or something | 10:41 |
| legendsohai | is there anybody know why my terminal will not show appropriate colour of a files or folder which has execution properties or other properties | 10:41 |
| ikonia | sinan depends if you have the header installed, yes it should though if you have the kernel source installed | 10:41 |
| bazhang | irini, system administration | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AdvoWork: 777 on ~/ isnt secure at all | 10:41 |
| Slart | shane_: don't paste stuff here in the channel.. it will only get you kicked/banned | 10:41 |
| sinan | ikonia: what's the easiest way to get the kernel source? | 10:41 |
| ikonia | sinan get the source from the package manager | 10:42 |
| shane_ | Irini: go to your applications menu, then to system, then to synaptic package manager | 10:42 |
| sinan | ikonia: i think i did :) | 10:42 |
| Slart | shane_: is that the cd-rom/dvd drive? | 10:42 |
| irini | wow!! | 10:42 |
| shane_ | irini: you will be prompted for your root password | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AdvoWork: this may help some: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/January1999/article77.html | 10:42 |
| irini | shane come msn | 10:42 |
| ikonia | sinan then it should exist | 10:42 |
| julian_ | hey somebody had the same evolution bug like me? on an email receive event i get notification messages that checking for unwanted mails isnt working | 10:42 |
| irini | i got root | 10:42 |
| irini | :d | 10:42 |
| spi343 | hi all, can i make linux-generic depend on other version ? it says it depends of the latest kernel version,right now it depends of 2.6.27-7 but 2.6.27-8 is avaiable! | 10:42 |
| irini | i got | 10:42 |
| FloodBot2 | irini: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:42 |
| irini | shane | 10:42 |
| bazhang | irini, stop with the enter key | 10:42 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: 147.580518 Buffer I/O Error on device sda1 logical block 1212715 - 1212724 | 10:42 |
| ikonia | irini: STOP using enter after every word, you've been asked multiple times now | 10:42 |
| Slart | irini: ... you will get kicked from this channel if you keep this up | 10:42 |
| shane_ | slart: i have no idea | 10:42 |
| ikonia | ditch64 what are you doing to cause that | 10:42 |
| irini | ok ok srry :D shane come msn | 10:43 |
| sinan | ikonia: any idea where on the filesystem it should exist? :) | 10:43 |
| ditch64 | i resized my swap partition | 10:43 |
| legendsohai | is there anybody know why my terminal is just showing one colour only for all files or folder which has execution properties or other properties | 10:43 |
| chilli0 | so ikonia how do i add something that makes my script work onto the /etc/rc.local? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | spi343: you could specify the kernel version to install and install all deps on the same command | 10:43 |
| ikonia | ditch64: ok so boot into the ubuntu live cd, and do sudo fsck -n /dev/sda1 | 10:43 |
| shane_ | is there a command to re-mount my cd/dcd drives? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shane_: sudo mount -a | 10:43 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: ok give me a minute | 10:43 |
| shane_ | dvd* | 10:43 |
| ikonia | chilli0: rc.local gets executed at boot time, so if you put the commands to start it in there, it should run | 10:44 |
| Slart | shane_: ok.. run "cat /etc/mtab" in a terminal.. it will print out a list of all mounted drives.. see where sdb1 is mounted | 10:44 |
| chilli0 | k | 10:44 |
| chilli0 | whats the shut down one ikonia? | 10:44 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: wait it just said | 10:44 |
| ikonia | chilli0 did you write a "stop" function into the python script ? | 10:44 |
| azfira | hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 10:44 |
| ikonia | chilli0: if not just kill it | 10:44 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: Deleted inode 4317199 has zero dtime. FIXED | 10:44 |
| ikonia | azfira: we normally just say "hi" | 10:44 |
| ikonia | ditch64 it shouldn't have done anything as I said do fsck -n /dev/sda1 | 10:44 |
| AdvoWork | ActionParsnip1, basically im getting errors like: rsync: chown "/home/Backups/full-20081109.171012.988/shared_blobs/,n/3z" failed: Permission denied (13) so thats why i was going todo the 777 thing? | 10:45 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: i want it to start on shut down. so when i go to shut down it will run my script | 10:45 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: k | 10:45 |
| shane_ | i messaged you the output | 10:45 |
| ikonia | ditch64 did you do -n ? | 10:45 |
| shane_ | its the lower part, that isnt the same as the rest | 10:45 |
| IcyPolecat | Slart: well downgrading to Nvidia 173 seems to have worked ... at the very least the fan has finally stop spinning | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AdvoWork: sudo may help | 10:45 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: i havent even rebooted | 10:45 |
| ikonia | chilli0 then you need to use a start/stop init script setup rather than rc.local | 10:45 |
| ikonia | ditch64 so where did you get that warning / | 10:45 |
| chilli0 | i dont get it | 10:45 |
| ditch64 | its doing an automated fsck | 10:46 |
| ikonia | chilli0: rc.local is a set of commands executed at start up only | 10:46 |
| ikonia | ditch64 oh, fair enough then, let it run | 10:46 |
| chilli0 | yes ok | 10:46 |
| Slart | IcyPolecat: nvidia has had some problems with the fans.. I also had that "fans going max all the time" with one version of the drivers | 10:46 |
| chilli0 | so how do i make something run on shut down? | 10:46 |
| spi343 | ActionParsnip1, yes but i would like to have linux-generic installed, because of the automatic updates, right now it's not installed because it was removed along with 2.6.27-7 wich is not working for me ( issues with wireless prism 2.5 cars), so what i want it have linux-generc installed but with 2.6.27-8 | 10:46 |
| ikonia | chilli0 so you can't use that as you want it to start and stop (although you should just make it start, when you shut the machine down the script will be killed) | 10:46 |
| AdvoWork | ActionParsnip1, ie instead of rsyn, do sudo rsync? | 10:46 |
| Slart | shane_: ok, got it.. didn't see anything about sdb1 though.. might be because you don't have a cd in the drive, or? | 10:46 |
| rww | AdvoWork, yes | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AdvoWork: try it | 10:47 |
| irini | shane i need help | 10:47 |
| ditch64 | Could not start the X server due to some internal error.... blah blah check with your system admin | 10:47 |
| IcyPolecat | Slart: yeah will have to wait now. Very annoying as the new version of the drivers sorted an issue with Plasma performance under KDE as well so really wanted to use the newer version | 10:47 |
| irini | where is shane??? | 10:47 |
| ikonia | ditch64 forget that for the moment | 10:47 |
| shane_ | I have no cd in the drive, givve me a second | 10:47 |
| wartalker | my driver b44 for network has problem, help? | 10:47 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: k | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ditch64: boot to recovery root console (esc at grub) and then check dmesg and logs | 10:47 |
| ikonia | ditch64: get your file system fixed and working first | 10:47 |
| mjg | does anyone know how i can set my screen resolution higher? pref->screen resolution is only recognizing my laptop screen, not my external monitor screen | 10:47 |
| irini | lol guys just make a backup and put on cd | 10:47 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: meaning do what? | 10:48 |
| spi343 | ActionParsnip1, the question is why does ubuntu think that 2.6.27-7 is the latest when 2.6.27-8 is | 10:48 |
| irini | i go toilet | 10:48 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: if i added the file into here would it work /etc/gdm/PostSession | 10:48 |
| ikonia | chilli0 I don't believe so | 10:48 |
| chilli0 | ok | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | spi343: not sure | 10:48 |
| ikonia | chilli0: just start it, your OS will kill it when you shutdown | 10:48 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: this is funny because if im running on battery power it will boot because it skips the FSCK | 10:48 |
| ikonia | ditch64 why is that funny ? | 10:49 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: idk it doesnt make sense | 10:49 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: all my script does is copy a number into a file | 10:49 |
| ikonia | ditch64 of course it does | 10:49 |
| chilli0 | and i need it to copy it b4 i shut down | 10:49 |
| histo | usage: uptime [-V] | 10:49 |
| histo | -V display version | 10:49 |
| sinan | What are the pathes that gcc looks for include files? | 10:49 |
| ikonia | chilli0: then you need to use start/stop init scripts | 10:49 |
| spi343 | ActionParsnip1, oh i see, 2.6.27-8 is on intrepid-proposed, and not in intrepid :( | 10:49 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: ok so how do you want me to take at this problem? | 10:49 |
| histo | 05:50:21 up 4 days, 10:13, 3 users, load average: 0.05, 0.02, 0.00 | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | spi343: im on 2.6.27-7-generic on my intrepid 64bit rig | 10:49 |
| ikonia | chilli0 or just use conky | 10:49 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: what are they? | 10:49 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: im making my own one that adds up | 10:50 |
| ikonia | ditch64 boot from the livecd and do fsck -n /dev/sda1 to get the problem | 10:50 |
| ditch64 | k | 10:50 |
| Slart | shane_: hmm.. no change there.. can you pastebin the entire dmesg output? | 10:50 |
| ikonia | chilli0 then read the init factoid ubottu sent you and it will expalin how to add thigns | 10:50 |
| chilli0 | so it saves how much i have downloaded then puts into a file | 10:50 |
| shane_ | of course | 10:50 |
| Slart | shane_: but pastebin it | 10:50 |
| spi343 | ActionParsnip1, so i guess until 2.6.27-8 won't make it in intrepid linux-generic still depends on 2.6.27-7 | 10:50 |
| ikonia | chilli0: conky does that | 10:50 |
| spi343 | ActionParsnip1, what a mess :) | 10:50 |
| Slart | shane_: don't just paste it to me | 10:50 |
| Slart | !paste | shane | 10:50 |

| chilli0 | ikonia: that didnt make any sence | 10:50 |
| ikonia | chilli0 what didn't | 10:50 |
| spi343 | ActionParsnip1, thanks | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | spi343: i think you're gonna have to wait | 10:51 |

| ditch64 | ikonia: well i totally doubt that seeing as how this whole thing started as soon as i resized a partition | 10:54 |

| FrauHansen | Hi, I'm trying to convert a rpm to deb using alien. it gives me an error. can someone have a look and tell me whats wrong? http://pastebin.com/d445bb9ed | 10:58 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: ill look at reboot | 10:58 |
| shane_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/69951/ | 10:58 |
| ikonia | FrauHansen what are you trying to covnert | 10:59 |
| gammy | All hail covnert! | 10:59 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, its a package for a TSM backup client | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | FrauHansen: you need sudo to run alien | 10:59 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: how would i go abouts locating the other computer through lan? | 11:00 |
| FrauHansen | ActionParsnip1, i'm root | 11:00 |
| ikonia | FrauHansen and there is no "debian/ubuntu" based alternative, as using alien is a bad call in my view | 11:00 |
| ikonia | ditch64 are you going through a switch or cross-over cable | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | FrauHansen: oh, ok | 11:00 |
| ditch64 | switch | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | FrauHansen: did you install alien via repos? | 11:00 |
| luddite | hi ActionParsnip | 11:00 |
| ditch64 | ikonia: i can do crossover | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hi luddite | 11:00 |
| luddite | You good today | 11:00 |
| FrauHansen | ikonia, no debs, since it is IBM and debian is not officially supported | 11:01 |
| chilli0 | ikonia: ill look at reboot | 11:01 |
| chilli0 | i dont really get it | 11:01 |
| FrauHansen | ActionParsnip1, yes sir: apt-get install alien | 11:01 |
| ikonia | ditch64 give them both an ip on the same network and use scp/ftp/whever you want to move teh data | 11:01 |

| koops | mgolisch, hahaha ok... thanks for the info, u have eeepc 1000h right? | 11:02 |
| ikonia | chilli0 ok - so as ubuntu runs at run level 2, it will go into /etc/rc2.d and run the scripts in the order 01,02,03,04 etc etc so if your script is S26chilli0 it will run it 26th with the parameter "start" so you need to make sure your script that "starts" is in /etc/init.d - linked to /etc/rc2.d and has a function in it called "start" | 11:02 |
| lesshaste | help! | 11:02 |
| ikonia | chilli0: does that make sense | 11:02 |
| raitis | status | 11:02 |
| FrauHansen | ActionParsnip1, unfortunately not. IBM only supports SLES and red hat | 11:02 |

| badstue | raitis.. yup.. i dont know if you have it installed. but it works fantastic from the console | 11:07 |
| badstue | just type top | 11:07 |
| badstue | otherwise just install it | 11:07 |

| OnlyLinuxUbuntu | south_korea: paste few lines again and again floodbot will say you hello :P | 11:09 |
| yarborea | tool aren't some sites blocking the seeding process at the minute? have you tried using another DNS server like 4.2.2.4 to make sure it's not your isp strnagling your connection? | 11:09 |
| south_korea | :D bye bye ~ | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tool: i dont personaly use it, i use ktorrent. maybe theres something in config not quite right | 11:10 |

| yarborea | I meant some isps not some sites | 11:10 |
| irini | where i open synaptic package manager | 11:10 |

| Slart | badstue: !boot will give you some info on how to do the "run at startup" thingy.. but there might be better ways of doing it.. hang on.. let me talk to mr google for a second | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tool: they can and sometimes do | 11:11 |
| badstue | thank you | 11:11 |
| tool | even still I'm at a loss as to how to change router settings | 11:11 |
| yarborea | tool it's not always easy to tell - have you read "beating sandvine" | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | tool: DHT can help as well as encryption | 11:11 |
| tool | actually haven't tried it | 11:11 |
| badstue | can you mail me the tip ? I am going for a break.. | 11:11 |
| Slart | badstue: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-600991.html | 11:12 |
| tool | ok,.. i'm trying to think about the right questions i should be asking | 11:12 |
| yarborea | ActionParsnip1 which linux app does encryption. I know utorrent does but I couldn't find a linux app that did it? | 11:12 |
| tool | should i change something with the router first? | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yarborea: ktorrent does it nice | 11:13 |
| yarborea | tool I would defintely try an open DNS server | 11:13 |
| tool | encryption is a setting in the software setting | 11:13 |
| nuance | tool: look for your router on the manufacturers site for configuration options. Usually, you'll have to set it to uPnP and sometimes explicitly open ports. | 11:13 |
| yarborea | ActionParsnip1 thanks | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yarborea: if you are running gnome you will pull down a tonne of kdelibs with it | 11:13 |
| tool | UPNP is not something azureus likes | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yarborea: depends on your stance with bloat | 11:14 |
| scientes | how can i make my server communicate outside the LAN again? | 11:14 |
| tool | so i turned it off to see what would happen | 11:14 |
| scientes | i installed ebox and it fed everything up so i removed it | 11:14 |
| tool | no change | 11:14 |
| scientes | i have my dns set right | 11:14 |
| mercutio22 | Where's the thrash directory located? | 11:14 |

| ActionParsnip1 | !trash | mercutio22 | 11:14 |
| ubottu | mercutio22: please see above | 11:14 |
| nuance | Then, it may be the ports that have to be opened. Look in Azereus for the port number, and open that in the router. | 11:14 |
| tool | as an example | 11:14 |
| raitis | ftp | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !ftp | raitis | 11:14 |

| tool | I'm confused about the difference between dns, dhs, and static ip | 11:16 |
| nuance | tool, Azereus' site has a wiki entry: http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/RouterConfiguration | 11:16 |
| yarborea | tool dns is just the domain server | 11:16 |
| irini | where is my synaptic package manager? | 11:16 |
| yarborea | I would defintely change that to 4.2.2.4 | 11:16 |
| Slart | tool: dhs? never heard of that one before.. what is it? | 11:16 |
| scientes | why woundnt my comp be able to communicat outside the lan | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | irini: gksudo synaptic | 11:16 |
| ikonia | tool dns is name->ip mapping - dhcp is getting dynmic (new) ip address whena machine boots, a static ip is when you set an ip for that machine and it never changes | 11:16 |
| yarborea | I know it doesn't strnagle torrents | 11:16 |
| amirman | anyone else having issues with sound tonight? | 11:16 |
| bazhang | irini, we have told you three times | 11:16 |
| scientes | ?? if i set it to dhcp then it works but i need static ip | 11:16 |
| tool | yeah dhcp | 11:16 |
| ikonia | irini: open the system menu, then the applications menu, then you will see it | 11:17 |
| tool | ok understand | 11:17 |
| bazhang | irini, it is in system administration | 11:17 |
| tool | is it better to have dhcp or static ip? | 11:17 |
| === Max is now known as MaxMala | ||
| nuance | You usually have to purchase a static ip. Dynamic is the standard. | 11:17 |
| ikonia | tool depends on your setup, but this really isn't anything to do with ubuntu support | 11:17 |
| yarborea | tool some say it's better to have a static IP but it's seems a lot of trouble for very little benefit to me | 11:18 |
| yarborea | If I was business it would be different | 11:18 |

| tim__b | anyone having problems with audacity (1.3.5/1.3.6) on intrepid? i used it on my 1,8GHz machine with hardy and it was "fast", using it with my new 2x2,5GHz machine+intrepid interface (seeking etc) is alot slower then on my old machine. | 11:47 |
| carlinhos | bazhang: that is my problem, how can i know that drivers are enabled and in use?? | 11:47 |
| bazhang | carlinhos, does hardware drivers show it? | 11:48 |
| bazhang | carlinhos, check preferences screen resolution | 11:48 |
| goldmetal | yarborea, thx | 11:49 |
| yarborea | goldmetal when I say that I don't know how up to date the windows version is kept | 11:49 |
| carlinhos | bazhang: yes, i have resolution screen, and now? | 11:49 |
| destreel | I can't play movie files | 11:49 |
| carlinhos | bazhang: it shows to me my big screen resolution and my laptop screen resolution | 11:49 |
| goldmetal | yarborea, i am writing a perl script to generate html. it's for photo album. so i don't have to upload my pics to other peeople's server | 11:50 |
| bazhang | carlinhos, are you mirroring them? | 11:50 |

| carlinhos | bazhang: no i am not | 11:50 |
| bazhang | destreel, do you have the codecs installed? | 11:50 |
| yarborea | what format ? | 11:50 |
| bazhang | destreel, ubuntu-restricted-extras | 11:50 |
| destreel | bazhang: I have | 11:51 |
| destreel | also ubuntu-restricted-extras | 11:51 |
| yarborea | bazhang do we recommend the ones from the medibuntu repository which are more up to date and play more formats - or do we keep the advice OPEN? | 11:51 |
| paul68 | execute: check out this howto http://www.amitu.com/blog/2004/12/screen-howto.html | 11:52 |
| yarborea | destreel are you trying to stream them from a web page or play them locally? | 11:52 |
| destreel | i'll try the medibuntu repo | 11:52 |
| goldmetal | yarborea, do you know any program that will beautify my html code? | 11:52 |

| bazhang | carlinhos, have you tried the twinview instructions? that is what I guess you are looking for | 11:54 |
| bazhang | !twinview | 11:54 |
| ubottu | twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings | 11:54 |
| bazhang | oops | 11:55 |
| bazhang | carlinhos, that is for nvidia only it seems | 11:55 |
| carlinhos | bazhang: yes, not for intel | 11:56 |
| bazhang | carlinhos, I have it setup with a laptop going to a tv no problem, not sure what resolution you are looking for though | 11:56 |
| yarborea | bazhang it's just I still haven't upgraded to Ibex so I don;t know what's available to users of the newest repositories. I really ought to get a move on or any limited knowledge I do have will become outdated :( | 11:57 |
| carlinhos | bazhang: ok, i tell you all my problem so you can know more. see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6140865#post6140865 | 11:57 |

| burim | is there anyway to interact with ubuntu as root user without using the terminal ? | 11:59 |
| Akro-BaT | done or taked ..in english .. ( speak only french ) | 12:00 |
| ikonia | Akro-BaT: use the screen shot tool - set it for 10 secodns then open the menu | 12:00 |
| yarborea | I had a nasty experience lately with another unmentionable OS beginning with V that went badly wrong when I tried to upgrade and I've become a little less intrepid :) | 12:00 |
| milligan_ | Is urandom part of a package ? | 12:02 |
| goldmetal | yarborea, vector? or windows server? | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. there is a /dev/urandom device :) | 12:02 |
| yarborea | goldmetal Vista | 12:02 |
| milligan_ | Dr_Willis, this machine I'm trying to fix is missing /dev/urandom .. is there any way to create it or something ? | 12:03 |
| yarborea | It really messed up and I didn't get completely up to date backups | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | milligan_: its weird that THAT would be missing.. | 12:03 |
| yarborea | Luckily I managed to recover most of my data with Knoppix Live CD | 12:03 |

| milligan_ | Dr_Willis, tell me about it. Was an 8.10 server, and an attempt to install ubuntu-desktop has left it broken. | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | milligan_: first result in a websearch | 12:03 |

| bazhang | carlinhos, you can get a generic xorg.conf file from ubuntu wiki then edit in those modelines and see if that does it; it seems that Hal is used now to do most of the vid config these days | 12:09 |
| raitis | The folder "administrator" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination. | 12:09 |
| bazhang | carlinhos, but as intrepid as so new some of us are still learning how to do it | 12:09 |

| ph8 | bazhang: Otherwise no major reported problems? | 12:15 |

| `r0ot | I have error in line 3 in -panel and i can't go to my desktop and only image..., plz how i fix that ? | 12:16 |
| ph8 | bazhang: Is the best image for me to download the one from cdimage.ubuntu.com - or the one from the website do you reckon? | 12:16 |
| bazhang | ph8, either one or the torrent will work fine | 12:16 |
| jrib | `r0ot: where/when do you get the error? What is the *full* error? | 12:16 |
| ph8 | thx | 12:17 |
| dshuang | I have a question. Is gnomebaker supporting files larger than 2G? | 12:17 |
| bazhang | carlinhos, copy the generic xorg.conf and edit with your info | 12:17 |
| bazhang | carlinhos, best to bookmark that page so when new info is added you can find out first | 12:17 |
| Akro-BaT | ikonia: so ? | 12:17 |
| `r0ot | only error in line:3 and panel will restart and this not work to and c-a-del not work to | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | dshuang: that would depend on the filesystem of the dvd you are burning.. iso vs udf I think.. or other joilet extensions | 12:18 |
| jrib | `r0ot: I need you to answer my questions so I can help you. The error says exactly "error in line:3" and nothing else? Again, where/when do yo usee this error? | 12:18 |
| jrib | !who | `r0ot | 12:18 |
| ubottu | `r0ot: 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 :) | 12:18 |

| Dr_Willis | Lots of ftp clients out there.. | 12:19 |
| dshuang | but i can not add a large file into the buffer. | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | dshuang: i tend to use k3b its a bit more useable i find. | 12:20 |

| `r0ot | how i can enable the root from command line ? | 12:23 |
| jrib | `r0ot: you don't, there's no need | 12:23 |
| Mariner_13 | `r0ot: su - root | 12:24 |
| jrib | Mariner_13: that won't work on ubuntu by default | 12:24 |
| bazhang | Mariner_13, dont suggest that here please | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | the proper way to get a root shell is to use 'sudo -s' I belive | 12:24 |
| `r0ot | I don't know how i make the new user from command line :( ! | 12:24 |

| punzada | Anyone know where I can get info about reactivating a touchpad after resuming from suspend? | 12:27 |
| jrib | Mariner_13: you are missing the point | 12:27 |
| `r0ot | i will get my laptop and try that now | 12:27 |
| Slart | Mariner_13: but it isn't set by default.. (it isn't recommended either).. so by default su doesn't work | 12:27 |
| Mariner_13 | i get it .-) | 12:28 |
| punzada | shesek: 'detach' from the screen session by using ctrl+a d, then you can exit the terminal while you're apps still run | 12:29 |
| mymini | hi, do you know about g++-3.4 in ubuntu-8.10 | 12:30 |

| Mariner_13 | mymini: afaik g++ is not a part of ubuntu 8.10 | 12:31 |

| levene | subdolus_: crontab -e | 12:45 |
| `r0ot | jrib: it's work withj new user | 12:45 |

| punzada | badstue: 2 for the OS and a swap partition | 12:45 |
| Pici | badstue: For a desktop system, thats all thats really needed. | 12:46 |
| levene | subdolus_: subdolus_ i don't remember, but man 5 crontab will tell you the file format | 12:46 |
| IdleOne | FrauHansen: lsb_release -a | 12:46 |

| riegersn | can an application be minimized from the command line ? | 12:46 |
| badstue | Pici: okay.. i'll try it out | 12:46 |
| punzada | it's not totally necessary if you don't plan to hibernate, I've ran on a swap file instead of partition for around two years, only with a clean ibex install do i finally use a partition :D | 12:46 |
| riegersn | like maybe when its launched | 12:46 |
| levene | subdolus_: run man 5 crontab, and scroll down to the examples | 12:46 |
| Pici | badstue: Take a 1.5x ram out for swap, or if you have a large amount of ram, do equal to ram. | 12:46 |

| badstue | Pici: yup.. So to sum up.. I just need 2 partitions under the installer and a swap ? dont i need to add the other like /usr /var and so on ? or will they be automatically added ? | 12:48 |
| levene | subdolus_: read the man page, it explains everything | 12:48 |

| subdolus_ | 5 0 * * * $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1 | 12:49 |
| jrib | `r0ot: you need to figure out what configuration files are messing up the old one. Try renaming ~/.gconf/ and ~/.gnome2/ for starters | 12:49 |

| subdolus_ | or 0 5 0 * * * $HOME/bin/daily.job >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1 | 12:49 |
| JuJuBee | jrib : read the troubleshooting and went so far as to purge / install apache2 and php5 again. Still same problem | 12:49 |

| jrib | awk: to copy files? | 12:50 |
| awk | naaa, just add all my clients to a list | 12:50 |
| subdolus_ | levene: the script i want to run is just a wget script.. i dont want it piped anywhere, so why do i need whtever is after the ">>" | 12:50 |
| awk | not using a scp | 12:50 |
| levene | subdolus_: you don't, just adapt it to your needs | 12:50 |
| awk | I want something like putty does to store clients inside... rather than ssh -.... | 12:50 |
| levene | subdolus_: on the other hand, i think you will get emailed (via your local mail system, if it exists) the command output unless you redirect it somewhere | 12:51 |
| jrib | awk: I like just using ~/.ssh/config though I know it's not what you asked for. I put settings there, then I just ssh foo<tab> and it uses all my settings (username, etc) | 12:51 |

| riegersn | Sorcererbob, its not launching minimized, still opens on the screen. any ideas? | 12:53 |
| lilleman | exactly | 12:53 |
| lilleman | what is it? | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | looks like its logging/copying somthing from one place to another.. | 12:53 |
| lilleman | but constantly, always? | 12:53 |
| lilleman | Wasnt there in the last version... | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Its looks lik eits just a pipe from one location to another.. it dont seem to be taking up any cpu here | 12:54 |
| gammy | lilleman: I don't know about that stuff but that should be idle most of the time. it uses blocking functions so it shouldn't actuall *do* anything most of the time unless the source is actually being modified. | 12:55 |
| physadair | hi! i would like to ask a question. is there any hotkey equal to backspace? (ex: ctrl+h == delete) | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | 0% cpu 0% Ram here | 12:55 |
| yango | has anyone here installed the OOo 3.0 community edition? It's kind of hard | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | physadair: yes there is.. but i forget what. :) | 12:55 |
| lilleman | hm. It takes up resources for me. Constant load of ~0.22 when machine is completley idle | 12:55 |
| gammy | lilleman: does "tail -f /var/run/klogd/kmsg" roll lots of text or is it not changing? | 12:56 |
| lilleman | At a normal file transfer via SSH it takes up as much CPU as the sshd process | 12:56 |
| jrib | physadair: are you sure ctrl-h doesn't do what you want? | 12:56 |
| awk | hmm, anyone have any benchmarks of ubuntu (any version) vs any windows version at that time, would like a say comparfrom new ubuntu vs xp or vista? | 12:56 |

| physadair | jrib, yes, ctrl+h can work. just want to be lazier. | 12:57 |

| jrib | physadair: what do you mean by hotkey equal to backspace then? Isn't that ctrl-h? | 12:57 |
| lilleman | when doing absolutley nothing | 12:57 |
| gammy | lilleman: Obviously it's doing something if it's taking cputime :P | 12:58 |
| jrib | lilleman: maybe bug 292560 | 12:58 |
| lilleman | haha, true that :) | 12:58 |
| lilleman | jrib: aah, -checking- | 12:58 |
| jrib | lilleman: googling the "dd ..." command turns up a few hits, probably a good idea to go through them | 12:58 |
| physadair | jrib, the hotkey ctrl-h in my pc can only delete letters after the consor. | 12:59 |
| lilleman | jrib: Did that. But ok... gonna shut down the log system and see if it helps | 12:59 |
| jrib | physadair: ah, goes back here. You're in a default terminal and shell setup on ubuntu? | 12:59 |
| seronis | lilleman have you checked to see if (i think) /var/messages is getting lots of hits ? | 13:00 |

| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 13:13 |

| physadair | jrib, i think i know the problem. the file i am editing is read-only, so it prevents me to edit. | 13:15 |
| riptide | spanish people suck | 13:15 |
| Vero2 | ah, thanks | 13:16 |
| badstue | Pici: Is it important how the primary and logical settings are set ? Like should i set the / as primary and the rest as logical ? | 13:16 |
| Ohmu | :) | 13:16 |
| Vero2 | riptide you are very kind | 13:16 |
| Pici | badstue: I've never changed those settings on my installs, but I think it would make sense to at least make / primary. | 13:16 |

| Dr_Willis | ValentineX: installing walllpaper slowing down the system? Err... not unless you got a C64 :) | 13:19 |
| badstue | Pici: Btw, what will the root password be ? | 13:19 |
| chadeldridge | Is there some reason that update-manager does not show the list of changes for package updates? | 13:19 |
| badstue | on a default installed ubuntu box | 13:19 |
| Pici | !root | badstue | 13:19 |
| ubottu | badstue: 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 | 13:19 |
| ValentineX | Dr_Willis: thank you :) | 13:20 |
| badstue | Pici: hmm.. so there is no root password. But isnt that unsafe ? | 13:20 |
| tierman | hi | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | badstue: no - its even safer... | 13:20 |

| SOURdiesel | does a storage drive HAVE to have an unallocated space? | 13:20 |
| tierman | Nop, it does not | 13:20 |
| chadeldridge | Does anyones update-manager show them the list of changes for updates ? | 13:21 |
| Pici | badstue: The root account password is locked, there is nothing that you could supply to the password prompt that would let you login as it. | 13:21 |
| badstue | Pici: how ? So if i want to make a change that needs root access.. i just use the sudo cmd ? | 13:21 |
| tierman | What do you mean? | 13:21 |
| Pici | badstue: Take a look at the url that ubottu posted for more info. | 13:21 |

| badstue | Pici: yup.. i will | 13:21 |
| badstue | Pici: thank you once again :) | 13:21 |
| chadeldridge | seronis: humm .. i thought it used to show | 13:21 |
| seronis | chadeldridge: it DID. half an hour ago i had 29 entries for updates. now its empty | 13:22 |

| mncvn | Sorry, It allway run and I want disable it. Because I don't want it take more RAM when I don't usually use it. | 13:33 |
| seronis | ie: i have a window opened with conversations in my 'coworkers' group. if a new conversation starts it wont just appear in the coworkers window. it will make the entire window switch to the current desktop and then open the new conversation in the window | 13:34 |
| seronis | i dont want my windows switching desktops automatically | 13:34 |
| javajeff | can someone recommend good root and home partition sizes? I am interested in opinions for a 250gb drive. | 13:34 |
| norbert79 | seronis: Use virtual dekstops, that would be a workaround | 13:34 |
| norbert79 | seronis: Use winecfg to set that | 13:35 |
| norbert79 | seronis: For other Wine related applications I would recommend http://appdb.winehq.org | 13:35 |

I have two cifs mounts in fstab to mount shared directories residing on a Windows 2000 machine. Regardless of the order of the commands, the first one fails.

| Stalker72 | gammy: Are there web browsers other than Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome which are worth trying? | 13:52 |
| MnemonicPunk | I could even do this easily on Windows, so there should be some way to do it on Ubuntu, shouldn't it? | 13:53 |
| gammy | Stalker72: Firefox and Opera are probably the most advanced and stable (graphical) browsers released to date for any operating system. | 13:53 |
| Kumo | I understand that the restricted codecs aren't officially supported in Ubuntu, but it shouldn't be this difficult to enable DVD playback. | 13:53 |

| scampbell | you can edit video with blender? I had no idea. | 14:09 |

| joaopinto | fograven, clean install = remove existing software | 14:13 |
| joaopinto | fograven, the other way is just to upgrade using the update-manager | 14:13 |
| ikonia | fograven the software versions are different so you will need to "lose" them at some level anyway | 14:13 |

| seronis | can someone explain the difference between a # and ## channel ? i've never had to type either when i join a channel.. just the channel name on its own | 14:18 |
| norbert79 | That riddles me too | 14:19 |
| aaron | what is a good website for Linux news? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | seronis offical and unofficial is the quick description | 14:19 |
| SOURdiesel | if i install 7zip, do i also need to install XArchive Manager? | 14:19 |
| icesword | seronis, like when you type a #, it will search and redirect if it is a ## | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | SOURdiesel, z there are command line 7zip tools i belive | 14:19 |
| dmulholland | thanks joaopinto | 14:19 |
| norbert79 | icesword: So ## is an official channel, where # is more a community based one | 14:19 |
| Pici | norbert79: other way around. | 14:19 |
| norbert79 | Thx Pici | 14:19 |
| seronis | icesworde.. i dont type either. every irc client i use i type /join name and i end up in a # or ## channel | 14:20 |
| SOURdiesel | dr_willis: huh? | 14:20 |
| seronis | ty norbert79 | 14:20 |
| dr_willis | SOURdiesel, you can use 7zip archives without any gui tools - | 14:20 |
| norbert79 | seronis: # official, ##unofficial | 14:20 |
| SOURdiesel | dr_willis: ok. thanks. | 14:20 |
| icesword | norbert79, gotcha, what does "other way around" mean | 14:21 |
| Polysics | is there a graphic interface to fstab somewhere? | 14:21 |
| dr_willis | !fstab | 14:21 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:21 |
| tobias | when i login to ubuntu my mouse is stuck on one monitor but all my toolbars/menus etc. are on the other one! help! | 14:21 |
| dr_willis | Polysics, i think there is.. but i never use it. :) | 14:21 |
| Polysics | i wonder what is on this 33Gb partition i just found... i can only see a lost+found directory | 14:21 |
| norbert79 | icesword: ehm , when two things match up right the opposite way | 14:21 |
| dr_willis | Polysics, sudo fdisk -l, and see what filesystem it is.. and mount it manually perhaps | 14:22 |
| platius | aaron; http://www.google.com/linux and search for news | 14:22 |
| Polysics | dr_willis, my fstab-fu is rusty :-) | 14:22 |
| seronis | Polysics: also enable viewing hidden files | 14:22 |
| aaron | platius, thanks | 14:22 |
| dr_willis | Polysics, if it just has lost+found it seems its empty. :) | 14:22 |
| norbert79 | icesword: Like if you would say lemons are red and cheeries are yellow... I would tell to you then: The other way around | 14:22 |
| Polysics | my question (not to the channel, but in general) is: where did a partition come from? | 14:22 |
| Polysics | i sure never made it | 14:23 |
| Quadrescence | Right now I have Xubuntu installed. Is it possible to "change" it to regular gnome-based Ubuntu cleanly without reinstalling? I'm sure the answer is yes. However, the last time I did that changing from Ubuntu->Xubuntu (not this install), not /everything/ changed -- like the boot screen. | 14:23 |
| Polysics | i shall investigate :-) | 14:23 |
| norbert79 | Polysics: Maybe MBR has been modified, and some invalid info is shown, or encrypted | 14:23 |
| icesword | norbert79, hehe, gotcha, thanks, me learned another idiom | 14:23 |

| jobe | whats the root password on the livecd? leaving it blank doesnt work. in case youre wondering, im reinstalling grub bootloader and its asking for it... | 14:24 |

| Enissay | How to auto start Firestarter on Hardy?(i tried many solutions with no success) | 14:25 |
| Akazawa | is there a way to check all files on my hard drive for damage? | 14:27 |
| norbert79 | fsck | 14:27 |
| joaopinto | Akazawa, you can boot into rescue mode and run fsck | 14:27 |
| jobe | norbert79: hmm, now it doesnt ask for password any more, and just gives error exit status one | 14:27 |
| Akazawa | how long should fsck take? | 14:27 |
| norbert79 | Akazawa: Few minutes | 14:27 |
| norbert79 | Akazawa: depends on the size of your Harddisk | 14:27 |
| joaopinto | Akazawa, and if you believe you have bad blocks, use the badblocks command | 14:28 |
| Polysics | ok, now i officially feel stupid | 14:28 |
| norbert79 | Akazawa: and the ammount of dsata stored | 14:28 |
| Polysics | in a wubi install, the whole disk is mounted under /host | 14:28 |

| Polysics | what is a good replacement for itunes? i actualyl do use it | 14:28 |
| joaopinto | akaluzhny, fsck does a structure check, not physical/data check | 14:28 |
| joaopinto | ops, was for Akazawa | 14:29 |
| joaopinto | Akazawa, for physical data check you will need to run badblocks | 14:29 |

| Dabbu | joaopinto: that is already installed | 14:30 |
| Akazawa | so "badblocks /dev/sda" | 14:30 |
| Akazawa | right? | 14:30 |
| norbert79 | jobe: Sorry for that | 14:30 |
| seronis | khaotik: thats not a problem. its just your wireless is being used with ethernet. my system is the same way | 14:30 |
| joaopinto | Akazawa, I am not sure if you need to use a disk device, or partition device, like sdaN | 14:30 |
| jobe | norbert79: np, but could you give a yes or no to whether you think that reinstalling bootloader will help? | 14:30 |
| jobe | (if i succeed in doing that) | 14:30 |
| khaotik | how can i change it so i can use the iwlist command? | 14:31 |
| seronis | khaotik: if i boot my laptop up with the livecd it also shows its wireless as eth1 too, so its not an 'upgrade' issue | 14:31 |

| Polysics | i have stuff encoded in basically any codec and his mum | 14:34 |
| joaopinto | SOURdiesel, 7zip is a command line utility, not a graphical app | 14:34 |
| SOURdiesel | joaopinto: ok. | 14:34 |
| joaopinto | jobe, fsck does not repairt partitions, it repairs fileststems | 14:34 |
| joaopinto | jobe, for partitions you need to use fdisk/cfdisk/parted | 14:34 |
| jobe | joaopinto: sof or repairing filesystems should i use that or e2fsck | 14:35 |
| seronis | SOURdiesel: after i installed 7zip it just becomes available as a supported format via the Archive Manager | 14:35 |
| khaotik | is there a way i can set up etherape to view all computers around me then? | 14:35 |
| jobe | joaopinto: ok | 14:35 |

| Pyth | fograven: It's cool. Some things remain to be worked out, as with any release. But it's quite promising. | 14:35 |

| seronis | woot. sudo apt-get install unrar-free | 14:40 |

| tuta | joaopinto: brazuca mano?! | 14:41 |
| marfis | joaopinto: by the way, yes I can set it manually with ulimit for the running session | 14:41 |
| joaopinto | martii, if is just a matter of defaults, you will be able to set it either at the system profile, or at the users profile | 14:41 |
| jrib | Twinkletoes|W: yppasswd? | 14:41 |
| Twinkletoes|W | jrib: Yeah - for NIS password changes | 14:41 |
| marfis | joaopinto: you mean /etc/profile | 14:41 |
| jrib | Twinkletoes|W: ah | 14:41 |
| joaopinto | marfis, or /etc/bash.bashrc | 14:41 |
| Twinkletoes|W | jrib: I could use 'expect' but I'd rather not if there's a cleaner way | 14:41 |
| marfis | joaopinto: I'll try that, thanks for that... | 14:42 |
| marfis | joaopinto: is /etc/profile also working for a root process started at boottime? | 14:42 |
| seronis | one thing i like about ubuntu.. the people in ubuntu channels dont have as large a god complex as those in windows or programming channels | 14:42 |
| joaopinto | marfis, I believe /etc/profile is always sourced, even for boot scripts | 14:43 |
| jobe | joaopinto: is running fsck dangerous? I answer yes to most questions as superblocks etc dont mean much to me | 14:43 |
| marfis | joaopinto: thx again | 14:43 |
| joaopinto | jobe, running it on a mounted system yes, you are expected to run it using recovery mode | 14:43 |
| zamba | when logging in, ubuntu asks for my password twice.. why's this? | 14:44 |
| joaopinto | jobe, boot to recovery and run: fsck -y -A | 14:44 |

| KentonS | Howdy. I'm running samba 3.0.26 on Ubuntu 7.10. I have two cifs mounts in fstab to mount shared directories residing on a Windows 2000 machine. Regardless of the order of the commands, the first one fails. Bringing up a terminal window and issuing "mount -a" works. I copied the first mount in fstab, duplicating it as a third cifs mount identical to the first. Now both shares are available when I log in. Any ideas why the first mount fails | 15:03 |

| jrib | NEWK: I hadn't even finished typing my reply and you repeated :) Check bugs.ubuntu.com for a bug and file one if it's not there. ctrl-alt-f1 will probably let you get to a tty and troubleshoot. A workaround may be to revert to your old xorg.conf for input devices (grep 'man xorg.conf' for hal for the appropriate serverflag needed in intrepid). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X may also be relevant | 15:19 |

| Zzeiss | Hi... question: what's the status of an Ubuntu install then auto-upgrade on the new MacBook Unibody? Works? Mostly works? | 15:28 |
| jrib | CarlFK: system -> adiministration -> services -> graphical login | 15:29 |
| Zzeiss | Reason is I am lusting after one of the Unibodys but won't buy it unless it can run Linux reasonably well. | 15:29 |
| ikonia | NEWK: my gut feeling for you here is to 1.) boot into the root console from the boot menu, 2.) test your keyboard there outside of X 3.) if it works move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/backup.xorg.conf 4.) restart your machine and lets see what state your in | 15:29 |
| seronis | NEWK: floodbot doesnt like people using the enter key as punctuation for some reason. it would rather you just make massively large paragraphs | 15:29 |
| NEWK | Perhaps I should try a different keyboard and mouse | 15:29 |

| Zzeiss | kniolet_: OK... how long ago? | 15:30 |
| bazhang | wos, if it is your hotspot then you should know if it is encrypted or not. | 15:30 |

| scientes | so i can share via nfs and then mount the same home in a vm ikonia ? | 15:31 |
| Zzeiss | scientes: Yes. The only trick is that they all have to agree as to group and user number per user, else you get hosed on file protection. | 15:31 |
| bazhang | wos, open a terminal and type ifconfig; how many entries are there | 15:31 |
| kniolet_ | Zzeiss: well 8.04 was REALLY bad, i installed it on at least 4 macbooks and even after i knew what i had to do, it still took 3+ hours to set up. 8.10 is noticeably better (wireless and sound worked out of the box, for example), but it still took 2 hours to get an exetrenal monitor working | 15:31 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX see who th eowner is and use chmod/chown to change the ownership to yourself | 15:31 |
| NEWK | Another critical thing to note is that this computer is fairly old. It's from 2001 | 15:31 |
| Zzeiss | scientes: (that's what I do. I have an Ubuntu Studio install and a FC9 install on the same machine with common user dirs) | 15:31 |

| Zzeiss | kniolet_: OK. Hmmm... | 15:32 |
| wos | bazhang: there are 3 | 15:32 |
| scientes | Zzeiss, i was going to try out freebsd | 15:32 |
| bazhang | wos, what are they | 15:32 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: what are those? chmod/chown? | 15:32 |
| Zzeiss | scientes: it should be worth trying. :) | 15:32 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: commands | 15:32 |
| wos | bazhang: eth0 lo and wlan0 | 15:32 |
| seronis | NEWK: unlike the windows world, older hardware works increasingly better with linux. not worse | 15:33 |
| bazhang | wos, in the terminal type sudo dhclient wlan0 | 15:33 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: or you can add the line usershare owner only = False to the samba config file as the error tells you | 15:33 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia:type full commands please chown: missing operand | 15:33 |
| Zzeiss | kniolet_: How long ago (as in what new upgrades to the 8.10 packagekit have happened since then?) | 15:33 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: i did i entered that | 15:33 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: man chown and mand chmod to learn how to use them | 15:33 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: after entering that should i logout and relogin again to my ubuntu? | 15:33 |
| === mike is now known as Guest89619 | ||
| Zzeiss | kniolet_: and another question: did you boot camp it to dual-boot, or go "whole thing"? | 15:33 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX you've not done anything yet | 15:33 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: i put that line in smb.conf before | 15:34 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: samba would need restarting for that change to pickup | 15:34 |

| loner__ | Hi guys, i just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and i don't have the "burn" effect in compiz anymore, does anyone know how to fix it ? | 15:35 |
| ikonia | loner__ is it no longer listed in ccsm or just not enabled | 15:36 |
| Deathtech | Heya guys, I have an issue where when i reboot my system remotely, and it comes up, for some reason my wireless card doesnt connect unless i log in locally. Is there a way to set it so that it comes up at boot time vs having me to have to login ? | 15:36 |
| bazhang | loner__, check that you have all the compiz plugins installed in synaptic; further help in #compiz-fusion | 15:36 |
| loner__ | ikonia what is ccsm ? | 15:36 |
| ikonia | !info ccsm | 15:36 |

| NEWK | OK, I'm booting up again with a different keyboard and mouse | 15:37 |
| DB42 | how do i see the post installation script a .deb file has ? | 15:37 |
| n8tuser | Deathtech-> on your /etc/network/interfaces have it up automatically like.. auto wlan0 | 15:37 |
| andycr | I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, but there's no option to upgrade to 8.10 in update manager. Anyone know why? | 15:37 |
| loner__ | ubottu then the burn effect is not available in intrepid ? | 15:38 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:38 |
| ksbalaji_ | I use hardy and Xchat. I also use vuze. Now what happened to #vuze? Very lonely there/ | 15:38 |
| n8tuser | DB42-> do you have the .deb file? | 15:38 |
| will00 | is there a list of XF86 mouse key functions available somewhere? | 15:38 |
| NEWK | It's still not working | 15:38 |
| NEWK | does Ibex not support PS/2 or something? | 15:38 |
| ikonia | NEWK then I suggest you follow the option I gave earlier | 15:38 |
| NEWK | Which was? | 15:38 |
| bazhang | NEWK, sure it does | 15:38 |
| DB42 | n8tuser: ofcourse | 15:38 |
| bazhang | NEWK, I'm using one now | 15:38 |
| NEWK | I'm sorry, I have been busy so I may have missed a message | 15:38 |
| n8tuser | DB42 try to unzip the .deb file | 15:39 |
| v4vijayakumar | is it possible to automatically (script) power down system, couple of minutes after power cut..? I am using UPS | 15:39 |
| ksbalaji_ | anyone aware of what has come of #vuze? Not much activity there! | 15:39 |
| ikonia | NEWK: my gut feeling for you here is to 1.) boot into the root console from the boot menu, 2.) test your keyboard there outside of X 3.) if it works move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/backup.xorg.conf 4.) restart your machine and lets see what state your in | 15:39 |
| Deathtech | n8tuser: Thanks :) | 15:39 |

| fosco__ | yes | 15:40 |
| Ohmu_ | All, I have a particular website where the pictures are not showing. It's a recent problem - just the last few days. But running Internet Exploiter thru VirtualBox, the pictures show. So it's a client thing. Any ideas? | 15:40 |
| south_korea | fosco__, where do i put my rom files at (?) | 15:40 |
| DB42 | n8tuser: huh ? doesn't work | 15:40 |
| joaopinto | DB42, is it a repository package ? | 15:40 |
| south_korea | fosco__, if you have xmame installed on your system, ~ | 15:40 |
| fosco__ | south_korea: wherevere you want, but make sure kxmame points there | 15:40 |
| DB42 | joaopinto: nop | 15:40 |
| south_korea | fosco__, oh isee.. ok let me try ~ :) | 15:40 |
| ksbalaji_ | ikonia, thanks! | 15:41 |
| joaopinto | DB42, ok, so you need to extract the control archive with "ar" | 15:41 |
| n8tuser | DB42 oh, yeah doing a dpkg with extract option is the way to go, i forgot that its not a regular archive | 15:41 |
| joaopinto | n8tuser, it is a regular "ar" archive | 15:41 |
| DB42 | n8tuser: EXTRACTING doesn't give me the POST INSTALL Script | 15:41 |
| n8tuser | joaopinto-> is it? i forget things, sowee | 15:41 |
| AdvoWork | is there any way to edit cups-pdf? | 15:41 |
| DB42 | joaopinto: how do i do that ? | 15:41 |
| n8tuser | DB42-> then maybe it does not have a post install script? | 15:42 |
| DB42 | i dont seem to have "ar" installed | 15:42 |
| DB42 | ahh, could be | 15:42 |
| wos | bazhang: it disconnected me | 15:42 |
| joaopinto | DB42, ar t file.deb | 15:42 |
| DB42 | dont have "ar" installed | 15:42 |
| joaopinto | DB42, then install it :) | 15:42 |

| v4vijayakumar | is it possible to automatically (script) power down system, couple of minutes after power cut..? I am using UPS.. | 15:43 |
| DB42 | dont want to install junk on it :) | 15:43 |
| DB42 | anyhow i guess it does have a script | 15:43 |
| joaopinto | DB42, ar is a very small utlity | 15:43 |
| DB42 | doesn't | 15:43 |
| NEWK | Hhhmmm, when I boot into the root console, my keyboard does work | 15:43 |
| NEWK | anyway, I'm gonna move that file like you said | 15:43 |
| KentonS | I'm having a problem mounting remote shares in fstab. The first mount apparently fails, but there's no related message in /var/log/syslog. Any ideas about where I might look to discover what's going wrong? | 15:43 |
| NEWK | it clearly is the GUI's fault | 15:43 |
| joaopinto | DB42, there is no other way to check it (I think) | 15:43 |
| wos | bazhang: ? | 15:44 |
| bazhang | wos yes | 15:44 |
| DarkJimmy | does anybody here know if upgrading from hardy heron to intrepid ibex on an acer aspire one will work without problems? | 15:44 |
| DB42 | joaopinto: ok, thanks | 15:44 |
| dragon1 | I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10.but i am not able to sxettings that i had previously..how do i get them...? | 15:44 |
| wos | bazhang: it disconnected me | 15:44 |
| bazhang | wos what did | 15:44 |
| wos | the command you gave me | 15:44 |
| jrib | dragon1: "sxettings"? | 15:44 |
| bazhang | wos please paste the output in paste.ubuntu.com | 15:45 |
| dragon1 | jrib:sorry settings | 15:45 |
| wos | i cant because it disconnects me | 15:45 |
| jrib | KentonS: did you check /var/log/kern.log and bugs.ubuntu.com? | 15:45 |
| wos | i have to reboot | 15:45 |
| unitedpotsmokers | hello, i want to backup miro files on ubuntu, where is the files locates? | 15:45 |
| bazhang | wos, you have to reboot? that does not make sense | 15:45 |
| jrib | dragon1: you are "not able to settings"? You need to rephrase your question and be more specific | 15:45 |
| wos | ill do it anyway, what was the command again? | 15:45 |
| DarkJimmy | any aces aspire one owners with Intrepid ibex running? | 15:46 |
| DarkJimmy | *acer | 15:46 |
| DB42 | just in case, <stew> DB42: "dpkg -e" can be used to extract the control files from a .deb :) | 15:46 |
| dragon1 | jrib:i am not able to set themes,nor close window,maximixe ...etc i ha ccsm installed..even that is not working. | 15:46 |
| KentonS | jrib: I didn't check kern.log. I'll do that now. I've been searching ubuntu sites for *weeks* and found nothing. | 15:46 |
| NEWK | OK, I tried that suggestion and my mouse and keyboard still don't work at the logon screen | 15:47 |
| wos | bazhang: what was the command again?' | 15:47 |
| jrib | KentonS: not ubuntu sites, specifically the ubuntu bug tracker at bugs.ubuntu.com | 15:47 |
| bazhang | wos to connect to your AP? | 15:47 |
| ikonia | NEWK: thats ok, - lets step back a little, we know the mouse and keyboard are fine and that the issue is with Xorg | 15:47 |
| NEWK | right | 15:47 |
| NEWK | So what do I try next? | 15:47 |
| AdvoWork | in Firefox, if i goto file > Print > options I keep having to remove the header and footers, it wont save the settings. Any ideas please? | 15:47 |
| wos | bazhang: whatever command you last gave me | 15:47 |
| caribou| | hello | 15:48 |
| jrib | dragon1: do you have window decorations (window title and the minimize, maximize, and close buttons)? | 15:48 |
| dragon1 | jrib:no.. | 15:48 |
| bazhang | wos, you need to connect to your router and make sure the essid is not hidden and that there is no mac filtering set. | 15:48 |
| wos | bazhang: ive done that | 15:48 |
| fosco__ | dragon1: make sure window decoration plugin is checked in ccsm | 15:49 |
| wos | there are 2 good networks ive tried to connect to | 15:49 |
| jrib | dragon1: well, that's one of your issues. You are missing window decorations | 15:49 |
| wos | both of them work in windows | 15:49 |
| fosco__ | dragon1: install emerald also | 15:49 |
| bazhang | wos in terminal type iwconfig and paste.ubuntu.com with it | 15:49 |
| bazhang | wos then give us the url | 15:49 |
| wos | ok | 15:49 |

| Kudi | my ubuntu live cd wont insstall properly, it has a problem with partitioning the discs i think my cd is bad but this is all i can do right now, is there anything i can apt-get real quick to do this manualley | 15:51 |
| KentonS | jrib: I think I found the answer in kern.log. (How the heck would I have even thought to look there? ;-) ) It complains about an unknown option "_netdev". Yet that's a valid mount option. I don't get it. | 15:52 |
| x1250 | GBGames, any user can chown, but only root can change owner, since if not, then you wouldn't be able to chown it afterwards to something else. | 15:52 |
| ValentineXX | NEWK: :-s don't worry others will help | 15:52 |

| NEWK | I sympathize. :P | 15:52 |
| bazhang | wos the command is sudo dhclient wlan0 paste.ubuntu.com with the output of that | 15:52 |
| ikonia | NEWK: I'm just trying to work out how to take this forward within X | 15:53 |
| jrib | caribou|: ok. Why aren't you using ssh? Or are you telnetting to eggdrop directly somehow? | 15:53 |

| awakebyjava | I am looking some help with a difficult xubuntu install. Anyone available? | 15:53 |
| jrib | awakebyjava: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you | 15:53 |
| omucuvaca | is there an open video converter for linux like, let's say canopus procoder? wihtout any editing capabilities | 15:53 |

| thomasite | fosco, and then after that? :D | 15:53 |
| IdleOne | Kudi: gparted ( volume has to be unmounted to partition )\ | 15:54 |

| awakebyjava | Okay, I am installing xubuntu on an old premio, and using the alternate install disc. | 15:54 |
| Zzeiss | awakebyjava: Well, what is it doing that is going wrong? | 15:54 |
| dragon | jrib:previous version..8.04.. | 15:54 |
| awakebyjava | the install cannot detect or mount the cd rom | 15:54 |
| ValentineXX | jrib: so? | 15:54 |
| jrib | NEWK: I gave you several suggestions when you first asked your question. Have you tried them? | 15:54 |
| wos | http://paste.ubuntu.com/70038/ | 15:54 |
| Kudi | im not using raid | 15:54 |
| awakebyjava | it is booting the install form the disc, but cannot find the cdrom | 15:54 |
| jrib | ValentineXX: so I'm not sure how I can help you in more detail than what the error message says | 15:54 |
| NEWK | jrib: I think I did | 15:54 |
| caribou| | jrib, yes i don't know i know that i can control my eggdrop through telnet that's it :x | 15:54 |
| NEWK | jrib: I may have missed a few | 15:55 |
| bazhang | wos, you connected successfully | 15:55 |
| awakebyjava | i can find the cdrom with grep, but I dont know how to tell the install where it is | 15:55 |
| jrib | NEWK: Check bugs.ubuntu.com for a bug and file one if it's not there. ctrl-alt-f1 will probably let you get to a tty and troubleshoot. A workaround may be to revert to your old xorg.conf for input devices (grep 'man xorg.conf' for hal for the appropriate serverflag needed in intrepid). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X may also be relevant | 15:55 |
| Zzeiss | awakebyjava: Hmmm... Interesting. Have you tried the option to "verify CDROM"? You may have a bad burn... | 15:55 |
| wos | to the wifi network? | 15:55 |
| ValentineXX | jrib: how to put that line in smb.conf? tell me command of edit again, i put that line at the end of that document before. | 15:55 |
| awakebyjava | yah, it works just fine | 15:55 |
| bazhang | wos, yes | 15:55 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: I've told you what to do | 15:55 |

| caribou| | jrib, telnet localhost 3333 | 15:56 |
| ikonia | NEWK: not forgot about you | 15:56 |
| awakebyjava | oh, no, in the shell i dont have access to those commands, as i am running from the alternate cd for low ram | 15:56 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: i dont understand them | 15:56 |
| NEWK | jrib: ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing | 15:56 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: what don't you understand | 15:56 |
| awakebyjava | but I verified the disc before i begin the install and it works just fine | 15:56 |
| ValentineXX | ikonia: those commands and man chown or man chmod | 15:56 |
| lytefyre | im trying to update 804 to 810 and i get the same bug as 156070 (apt-cacher bug with proxy). I dont run apt-cacher but am behind a proxy and unable to upgrade. | 15:56 |

| ValentineXX | ikonia: yes those details are out of my brain reach | 15:57 |
| jrib | caribou|: pastebin: netstat -napt | 15:57 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: it shows you an example of how to use it | 15:57 |
| Kudi | all i want to do i burn a disc really..is there anywayi can make the ubuntu live cd that i have boot up in the ram like puppy linux | 15:57 |
| awakebyjava | cannot get through the detect and mount cdrom | 15:57 |
| ikonia | ValentineXX: what do you "think" the command should be ? | 15:57 |
| jrib | dragon: you would need to reinstall | 15:57 |

| === riot_le_ is now known as riot_le | ||
| awakebyjava | but in the shell i can find the cd drive with dmesg | grep -i cd-rom | 15:58 |
| wos | bazhang: but i said "when i _unplug_ my ethernet its not connected" | 15:58 |
| GBGames | x1250: I don't understand what you mean by "any user can chown but only root can change owner". What is chown for other than that? | 15:58 |
| SOURdiesel | my places menu seems to have reconfigured itself and now doesn't show the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos folders... | 15:58 |
| bazhang | wos, so you need to try without your ethernet connected in the first place | 15:58 |
| wos | ok im going to try that. ill brb | 15:59 |
| x1250 | GBGames, changing group? | 15:59 |
| |neon| | i been trying to get my deskto psettings to stay for a while now, when i changed my settings everything works ok, however when i reboot the settings revert back to default, i tried session manager without any luck , any suggestions thx | 15:59 |
| GBGames | x1250: Also doesn't let me do that. | 15:59 |
| wos | bazhang: do you mean restart with no ethernet connected? | 15:59 |
| jrib | KentonS: don't know anything about cifs, but _netdev doesn't seem to be in the man page | 15:59 |
| caribou| | jrib, http://pastebin.com/d1888ff70 | 16:00 |
| jrib | GBGames: it has always been the case as long as I can remember that only root/superuser can chown | 16:00 |
| wos | bazhang: | 16:00 |
| bazhang | wos, you can just restart networking without having to reboot, but yes take out the ethernet (or disable in networkmanager) | 16:00 |
| wos | how do i restart networking | 16:00 |
| awakebyjava | I was getting some help from someone a while ago, but he had to go and left me hanging. | 16:00 |
| genii | jrib: Any user can chown their own stuff. | 16:00 |
| jrib | genii: really? how? | 16:01 |
| genii | jrib: If you already own it you can chown it to some other user. But no going back after that of course | 16:01 |
| GBGames | genii: That's what I thought, but I can't seem to do so. | 16:01 |
| KentonS | jrib: It's in the mount man page. The fstab man page just says to enter whatever options are appropriate for the type of mount you're doing. | 16:01 |
| IdleOne | can someone recommend a app for editing/splitting a video file? ( GUI ) | 16:01 |

| bazhang | wos eth0 is ethernet | 16:02 |

| chuckmoney | emilien_: possibly. try running a "failsafe gnome" session and see if everything loads okay. also, if you can get a terminal to load when your screen goes blank, try running "metacity --replace" | 16:24 |
| Omar87 | I need help configuring my Bluetooth, please? | 16:24 |
| Omar87 | Any help? | 16:24 |

| cmdrtebok | hey i tried to follow the multimedia thread on the forums but after messing it up once at the java eula and trying it again, flash doesnt work. I even tried to install the deb from adobe | 16:25 |

| wos1 | bazhang oh the ethernet wasnt disconnected at the time of the command | 16:26 |
| wos1 | what was the command again | 16:26 |
| chuckmoney | sudobash: go to a terminal and run "sudo dprk-reconfigure gnome-applets", answer yes, and then add the CPU Frequency Monitor applet to your GNOME panel. you can then click the applet and it will allow you to choose "performance mode" | 16:26 |

| bazhang | wos1, well then that would be an issue. | 16:27 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: Somehow it doesn't work with me, it didn't even work with me in Hardy either. | 16:27 |
| === wos1 is now known as wos | ||
| chuckmoney | emilien_: if you can't get a GNOME terminal working it's irrelevant. running metacity-replace from a different virtual terminal won't help. it has to be run from your GNOME session terminal, i.e. tty7 | 16:27 |
| wos | what was the command again? | 16:27 |
| ha6i | can some one help me to enable desktop effects...? | 16:27 |
| bazhang | wos which command | 16:27 |
| sudobash | dprk-reconfigure ??? | 16:28 |
| wos | the last command you instructed me to input | 16:28 |
| chuckmoney | sudobash: sorry, that should be dpkg-reconfigure | 16:28 |
| bazhang | ha6i, go to appearances visual effects | 16:28 |
| darkvertex | Omar87: what kind of adapter is it? what is the problem exactly? | 16:28 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: The problem seems to be with all sorts of wireless connections actually, not only Bluetooth. | 16:28 |
| emilien_ | chuckmoney, i can't get to tty i tried , screen get stuck | 16:28 |
| bazhang | wos, you mean sudo dhclient wlan0 ? why not write it down? | 16:28 |

| bazhang | ha6i, then make sure that the correct 3d driver is installed for your card | 16:29 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: Somehow, wireless, in general doesn't work with me. However, when I hit "ifconfig", I find all the wireless drivers. | 16:29 |
| chuckmoney | emilien_: well, I have to go do some work, but aside from spending some quality time with a rescue cd, sounds like your only option is to either reinstall, or delete your profile folder and start it over from scratch | 16:29 |
| ha6i | bazhang:how do i do that...? | 16:29 |
| emilien_ | chuckmoney, damn thanks anyway | 16:30 |
| bazhang | ha6i, go to hardware drivers and check that they are enabled and in use | 16:30 |
| chuckmoney | emilien_: if you run "rm -rf /home/yourname/.*" in any terminal it should remove only the settings folders, so you won't lose your actual documents. that may help but you'll have to reconfigure all your programs | 16:30 |
| emilien_ | chuckmoney, ok thnaks | 16:31 |
| nibsa1242 | emilien what is your issues? | 16:31 |

| darkvertex | Omar87: wifi and bluetooth are different altogether. bluetooth doesn't show in ifconfig | 16:34 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: I know. | 16:35 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: Is there a command I could use to turn my Bluetooth on? | 16:35 |
| chuckmoney | erUSUL: well his situation is pretty serious. He could try a hunt-and-peck approach by just deleting .gnome or .gtk but at the end of the day he would end up missing some settings and keeping others. often losing program settings is better than not being sure what is configured and what isn't. | 16:35 |
| MTecknology | I'm trying to build my system up from a cli install. I'm having a very hard time figuring out how to get the hotkeys working. I grabbed all my hotkey files from a live cd session but I can't figure out how to make them work. Anybody know what I need to do to get it working? | 16:36 |
| chuckmoney | erUSUL: since he gets a login screen his xorg config is fine, meaning it's his GNOME config. GNOME config is hard as hell to edit unless you can get at the least a failsafe session | 16:36 |
| ha6i | bazhang: though the drivers are activated i am not able to enable effects.... | 16:37 |
| darkvertex | Omar87: as I'm still on hardy, bluetooth doesn't need any command. I use a USB adaptor kind of bluetooth. what's yours? | 16:37 |
| erUSUL | chuckmoney: loosing all your mail messages is serious too. and your ssh and gpg keys lost is a pretty serious problem too depending on the use you give to them... | 16:37 |
| nibsa1242 | can someone point me to a workaround for flash / pulse audio conflict | 16:37 |
| chuckmoney | erUSUL: since he can't, simply deleting the config is the best he can do. | 16:37 |

| erUSUL | chuckmoney: well yes except for ~/.gnupg/ ... | 16:43 |
| === kostas1 is now known as ntinos_ | ||
| darkvertex | Omar87: On the other hand, if you only want to transfer files to your cellphone etc, use nautilus send-to command | 16:43 |
| chuckmoney | amikrop: ffmpeg is a terminal tool but I don't know what the GUI equivelent would be. but ffmpeg could convert a rabbit into a turtle and then into a greyhound :) | 16:43 |
| Omar87 | uh-huh | 16:43 |
| seronis | wos: usb or internal wireless (i've never got usb to work) and which ubuntu version ? | 16:44 |
| wos | seronis: usb and 8.10 | 16:44 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: is there a command to find the nearby devices from the terminal? | 16:44 |
| amikrop | chuckmoney: OK, thanks. :-) | 16:45 |
| darkvertex | Omar87: I believe it is hcitool scan | 16:45 |
| seronis | wos: usb is hit or miss on whether it works. i think we're both just out of luck on that | 16:45 |
| wos | oohhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! :(( | 16:45 |
| chuckmoney | erUSUL: well...sounds to me like a hunt-and-peck-for-the-right-file approach is the only option that wouldn't cause much data loss. on the other hand, my assumption would be that any user who is actively using gnupg (and thus is both more savvy than average and security-conscious) would also be doing somewhat regular backups. | 16:45 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: I just installed gnome-bluetooth, how do I use it? | 16:46 |
| erUSUL | chuckmoney: fair enough | 16:46 |
| seronis | wos: but with 8.04 my internal had issue too.. might try my approach to solve | 16:46 |
| chuckmoney | erUSUL: certainly just an assumption though | 16:46 |
| wos | seronis: what approach ? | 16:46 |
| d0htem | anyone know why md5 has been removed from sleuthkit | 16:46 |
| darkvertex | Omar87: find it under Applications->Accessories | 16:46 |
| seronis | wos: manual config. after it locates your router switch from dhcp to static and manually enter an IP. let it connect with that IP (still no internet at this point) then switch back to dhcp | 16:47 |
| seronis | for me that is the only way 8.04 would work with my highly generic internal wifi | 16:47 |
| gavagai | Is there a difference between "reformatting your hard drive" and "writing zeros to your entire hard drive"? | 16:47 |
| chuckmoney | d0htem: nope. sounds like a mighty strange choice seeing as how prevalent MD5 is. | 16:47 |
| LjL | gavagai: yes. | 16:47 |
| wos | what ip though? | 16:47 |
| nibsa1242 | is anyone w/ ibex able to watch youtube videos with flash-non-free? | 16:47 |
| genii | gavagai: Yes | 16:47 |
| gavagai | LjL, i thought so, thanks | 16:47 |
| nibsa1242 | gavagai: yes, very much so | 16:47 |
| LjL | gavagai: "formatting" means writing a filesystem onto a drive or partition. | 16:47 |
| d0htem | chunkmonkey sucks , now i gotta use md5deep | 16:47 |
| d0htem | :/ | 16:47 |
| LjL | gavagai: writing zeros means wiping it. | 16:47 |
| seronis | choose the same IP that dhcp gives you for all it matters.. just choose one thats legal | 16:47 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: my cellphone still doesn't detect anything.. | 16:48 |
| gavagai | i have a dell laptop with this retarded 'media direct' thing and you have to write zeroes to the drive to get rid of it, otherwise the media direct button can destroy your partition table after reformatting | 16:48 |
| savage- | Is there a way to extract a tgz to disk and have it automatically rename the files that it's extracting by appending some unique identifier to the end (e.g., current time) ? | 16:48 |
| nibsa1242 | gavagai: writing 0's is much better for making sure everything is completely off... I once had an odd problem that was only resolved by writing zeros and would not resolve with a simple format | 16:48 |
| d0htem | gavagi i believe ext2 writes to 0 | 16:48 |
| darkvertex | Omar87: lets do it the other way round. there is a bluez-utils package installed. it has hcitool, rfcomm, sdptool command-line tools that you can use to discover other devices | 16:49 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: When I tried hcitool scan, it said that there was no such device. | 16:50 |

| herath | ddfire: i'd opt for 8.04 due to the longer support period | 17:19 |
| ddfire | Slart: is for a new installation, i have experience whit debian, but in this job use ubuntu | 17:19 |
| NekroJakub | fosco_ : How do I do that? | 17:19 |
| ddfire | herath: the support period is just for security updates? | 17:19 |
| Slart | ddfire: go with the LTS if you need the stability | 17:19 |
| fosco_ | NekroJakub, close session | 17:20 |
| nibsa1242 | isaacj87: probably won't notice much of a difference... if you are running a laptop could have some minor positive ( or negative ) influence on battery life | 17:20 |
| ljuwaidah | esr: I'm subscribed to it but I don't know anything about that, I'll check all the posts again :P | 17:20 |
| herath | ddfire: yes. only security... but on a server environment you usually don't need new flashier features | 17:20 |

| Bittarman | has anyone gotten an X-Fi working with 8.10? | 17:22 |
| herath | ddfire: doesn't asterisk provide an .deb repository? i haven't used it so i don't know... if they do, adding it to your update sources will update it to the latest version | 17:22 |
| nibsa1242 | emilien: try the kernel logs... you are looking for something like a kernel panic | 17:22 |

| emilien | nibsa1242: can't see any errors in kenel log neither sys.log =( | 17:27 |
| AkariChan | leohartx: what kind of connection are you using, DSL? or DHCP through a router? | 17:27 |
| Flannel | er, james_ | 17:27 |
| ddfire | any one have experience maiking debs from source? | 17:28 |
| esr | jmarsden: Hm, I thought I fixed that. Lemme check... | 17:28 |

| Flannel | jmarsden: no, no, that was a bad tab complete | 17:29 |

| jmarsden | Flannel: OK... Phew :-) | 17:29 |
| nibsa1242 | emilien: I'm sorry there isn't anything to do that I can think of. Best bet is to do a fresh install. | 17:29 |
| AkariChan | leohartx: you can configure dhcpcd to run in rc, that way you can auto get ip | 17:29 |
| AkariChan | and remove pppoeconf | 17:29 |
| AkariChan | sudo apt-get purge pppoeconf | 17:29 |

| reqqit | Hi, I am installing 8.10 onto a netbook - I have already set ext2 partition to mount to / (6.9 gb) | 17:31 |

| KDB9000 | I need help removing compiz-gnome from my system. I can't install or remove any other software until compiz-gnome has been removed. So far all my attempts with GUI or text package managers have failed. | 17:31 |
| nibsa1242 | emilien: if your /home is its own partition, that would be easy... you can install off the live cd and keep all of your files in your home | 17:31 |
| leohartx | AkariChan: yes, that's way i communicate you now | 17:31 |
| reqqit | /dev/sda2 swap mount point? format ? | 17:31 |
| Pici | reqqit: no, the swap partition is not mounted to a mountpoint. Just setting the type to swap should be enough. | 17:31 |

| Pici | ddfire: Have you looked at the Ubuntu packaging guide? | 17:32 |
| leohartx | AkariChan: do you know how to make a new auto eth0 ? | 17:32 |
| reqqit | ok cheers Pici, that worked | 17:32 |
| jmarsden | reqqit: sap partitions are not filesystems, so they are not mounted. Do not put anything for the mount point | 17:32 |
| KDB9000 | fosco_, it won't let me reinstall the package | 17:32 |
| nibsa1242 | emilien: someone else may be able to help you, the problem is triaging it to know what is wrong | 17:32 |
| AkariChan | leohartx: just install dhcpcd, remove pppoeconf, reboot, and if you don't have an ip, run dhcpcd eth0. | 17:32 |
| reqqit | jmarsden, thanks | 17:32 |
| KDB9000 | AkariChan, failed | 17:32 |

| reqqit | 8.10 is awesome on the acer aspire ONE btw - really amazing | 17:33 |
| nibsa1242 | emilien: I had a bricked install that failed; and was able to fix it by chrooting into the install from the recovery console, but it was complicated and took forever | 17:33 |
| KDB9000 | AkariChan, sudo apt-get purge -f compiz-gnome right? | 17:33 |
| AkariChan | reqqit: indeed. it works wonders on my eeepc 901 as well. | 17:33 |

| herath | ddfire: i use checkinstall to create .deb's. in the final step of compiling, instead of sudo make install you type sudo checkinstall -D. you need to install checkinstall program first | 17:39 |
| reqqit | :p nah I like them both. But the Acer has a O where the EEE has a P. To me, having that extra finger space of keyboard size makes a huge difference in typability. | 17:39 |
| AkariChan | Can anyone recommend a text based browser other than links/lynx/links2? | 17:39 |
| Omar87 | darkvertex: one more thing, the Networks icons, where it shows you any detected wired and wireless connections, it doesn't appear at all with me. | 17:39 |

| Stalker72 | http://thepiratebay.org/user/Stalker72/ | 18:28 |
| Out_Cold | irssi is not a gui application | 18:28 |
| mooded | Xiolar, i guess you already tried "system->settings->resolution" (or similar) ? | 18:28 |
| jonathon_ | scunizi, thanks. | 18:28 |
| scunizi | Jonathon_, just type irssi to get it started.. no gui.. all text based.. in terminal | 18:28 |
| noodlesgc | jonathon_ for a IRC client with a GUI try xchat-gnome | 18:28 |
| Xiolar | @mooded, yes It only shows up with two sh!tty resolutions | 18:28 |
| mooded | Xiolar, as im on german enviroment the menues are titled different for me | 18:28 |
| Out_Cold | you want a GUI irc chat client use xchat or pidgin | 18:28 |
| jonathon_ | Out_Cold, i was looking more for a gui one. | 18:28 |
| J2daosh | ok, still not working for me :( | 18:29 |
| J2daosh | i can access the file and run it now | 18:29 |
| mooded | Xiolar, what graphics card do you have ? | 18:29 |
| Xiolar | its ok mooded, your english is fine | 18:29 |
| scunizi | noodlesgc, jonathon_, xchat without the -gnome is better and should also be in the repos for Debian | 18:29 |
| Xiolar | a Nvidia | 18:29 |
| kri | jonathon_: get a terminal up and change the colors to black and type irssi you will learn in in not time | 18:29 |
| Xiolar | Geforce | 18:29 |
| J2daosh | but it wont let me run it because it has an error starting the daemon | 18:29 |
| Xiolar | got the latest drivers | 18:29 |
| kri | the number1 benefit with linux is irssi | 18:29 |
| goudkov | noodlesgc: that's not it. i need something to show me reading/writing which files makes the io system most busy at the moment. | 18:29 |
| Xiolar | because it advised me to download those | 18:29 |
| J2daosh | it works fine as root, cept for those annoying "we STRONGLY suggest you DON'T run as ROOT | 18:29 |
| J2daosh | messages | 18:29 |
| mooded | Xiolar, then please go to "system->system settings->hardware driver" or smth | 18:29 |
| scunizi | Xiolar, you might try installed "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" to help adjust the cards resolution | 18:30 |
| Stalker72 | Can someone help me seed my Linux torrents? :) | 18:30 |
| mooded | Xiolar, install the nvidia-driver from there.. (177 is the recommended version iirc) | 18:30 |

| noodlesgc | goudkov, might not be exactly what you want, but try powertop | 18:30 |

| sken | any clue why i open my window my window flickers | 18:33 |

| jonathon_ | scunizi, here is the bug and the other bug of when i tried to do the bug fix on it. http://pastebin.com/m7bf27903 | 18:35 |
| scunizi | Xiolar, go to X server display config then at the bottom choose advanced and see what it says in "Panning".. change it to what you need and make sure that Resolution is set to auto or the desired resolution. | 18:36 |
| Xiolar | ok :D | 18:36 |
| Xiolar | will try | 18:36 |

| slowlearner | ironfoot_495 you need a webserver | 18:37 |
| genii | Ximal: It's just an apache2 plugin to extend the webserver. It won't prevent anything else you already have from running | 18:38 |

| scunizi | ironfoot_495, you might try typing in 127.0.0.1 instead of local host.. for some reason I have the same issue on my system.. you don't need a web server if it's not needed.. cups is at localhost:631 or 127.0.0.1:631.. it's the server for your printing system. | 18:39 |

| scunizi | Jonathon_ you mean you started it in terminal and it opened the gui? | 18:45 |
| good | Hi.long time no see. | 18:45 |
| mooded | ischliky, did you try to set it in "system->audio" as your standard-output device ? could you successfully test it there ? | 18:45 |
| regebro | I can't even find a documentation of what paremeters there are for the boot | 18:46 |
| jrib | regebro: remaster the live cd? | 18:46 |
| jonathon_ | yes scunizi | 18:46 |
| ischliky | mooded, yes it worked say 2 hours ago, but now music players just skip songs instantly, almost like the codec is gone now? | 18:46 |
| good | So far so good. | 18:46 |
| sinan | what's the difference between "free" and "available" when checking a partition using the system monitor? | 18:46 |
| good | So far so gooooooooooooood | 18:46 |
| slowlearner | ironfoot_495 do you have a webserver or something thus the need to access localhost on the browser? | 18:46 |
| scunizi | jonathon_... good it should also be located off Applications>Internet | 18:46 |
| goat_srv | slowlearner: yes, he has apache2 running | 18:46 |
| ReyRey | I just used DVDDecrypter through Wine to backup my movie.. now i can't find the files???? where on ubuntu is the "C" drive? | 18:46 |
| ironfoot_495 | scunizi: Not Found The requested URL / was not found on this server. | 18:47 |
| jrib | ReyRey: wine uses ~/.wine/drive_c/ | 18:47 |
| regebro | jrib: Which sounds almost as complicated as repartitioning the HD and installing it properly, judging from the docs. :-/ | 18:47 |
| mooded | ischliky, maybe a permission problem (i cant explain what might have caused it) .. | 18:47 |
| goat_srv | ironfoot_495: cat /etc/hosts | 18:47 |
| goat_srv | ironfoot_495: paste that output | 18:47 |
| jrib | regebro: what are you actually trying to accomplish? | 18:47 |
| mooded | ischliky, are you in group "audio" (run : groups <your-username> | 18:47 |
| zabalon | hola | 18:47 |
| regebro | I'm trying to get Wifi working with the livecd. There is a restricted driver, and I enable it, but nothing happens. | 18:47 |
| scunizi | ironfoot_495, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 18:48 |
| zabalon | hello | 18:48 |
| jrib | regebro: "nothing happens"? Is the module loaded? Have you tried just logging out and back in so nm notices? | 18:48 |
| ischliky | mooded, i dont see an audio when i do that | 18:48 |
| ironfoot_495 | goat_srv: I get a weird resonse??? | 18:48 |
| regebro | jrib: I don't know what more I would need to do, so I wanted to have the restricted driver enabled at boot up, to see if that made a difference. | 18:48 |
| goat_srv | ironfoot_495: from cat /etc/hosts ? | 18:49 |
| regebro | jrib: It didn't load, no, but it loaded if I modprobed it. | 18:49 |
| ischliky | mooded, i have adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare as my return | 18:49 |
| CCmonster | hey folks. Quick question. I have LAMP installed. How do I share the www folder with people to preview things | 18:49 |
| mooded | ischliky, then "sudo vi /etc/group" and add your username behind the line: "audio:x:29" | 18:49 |
| regebro | I haven't tried logging out and in after doing the modprobe. trying now. | 18:49 |
| automatik | is it true that all ports are closed in ubuntu? | 18:49 |
| mooded | ischliky, the "29" can vary | 18:49 |
| goat_srv | automatik: no, thats false | 18:49 |
| automatik | after initial install? | 18:49 |
| Out_Cold | CCmonster, make sure your firewall allows port 80 | 18:49 |
| mooded | ischliky, mine looks like: "audio:x:29:pulse,mooded" | 18:49 |
| automatik | hardy 8.04 | 18:49 |
| dr_willis | automatik, well theres very few services running by default - so most are not 'open' :) | 18:49 |
| test__ | hi jonathon_ | 18:50 |
| mooded | ischliky, dont forget to save what you typed in with : " :wq" then enter.. | 18:50 |
| CCmonster | Out_Cold, how do I check my firewall for port 80? | 18:50 |
| automatik | how can i check to see if the ports on my router are open in ubuntu? | 18:50 |
| mooded | ischliky, "the -- > : <-- ( i guess its called "colon" is important) | 18:50 |
| ReyRey | jrib: I can't find where wine is in all the folders? and if you put a period infront of the word doesn't that make it dissapear as in you can't see the folder? | 18:50 |
| jonathon_ | hello test__ | 18:50 |
| CCmonster | CLI? | 18:50 |
| Paddy_EIRE | automatik: same as you would on any other system | 18:50 |
| Out_Cold | CCmonster, if you have Firestarter installed that would be a good GUI start | 18:50 |
| automatik | ? | 18:50 |
| jrib | ReyRey: ctrl-h will make .wine show up in your home directory in nautilus | 18:51 |
| mooded | automatik, go to the webinterface of your router and look at the settings | 18:51 |
| shadowwulf | question, trying to install nvidia driver from envy. when i start it goes into low graphics mode, but when i pick my monitor or something close to it ..i get a out of range error ... any suggestions how to avoid this ? | 18:51 |
| automatik | did that | 18:51 |
| ischliky | mooded, atm it says audio:x:29: | 18:51 |
| dr_willis | automatik, use some of those portscanner web sites :) | 18:51 |
| shadowwulf | i am trying to run dual screens | 18:51 |
| mooded | ischliky, then add your username behind the last colon :) | 18:51 |
| CCmonster | i just did an apt-get on firestarter | 18:51 |
| automatik | portscanner web sites? | 18:51 |
| automatik | ok | 18:52 |
| ohubuntu | how do i check the firewall on ubuntu? | 18:52 |
| CCmonster | what do I have to do so I can make that www folder previewable from the net | 18:52 |
| Out_Cold | CCmonster, is it installing? | 18:52 |
| goat_srv | automatik: for example grc.com | 18:52 |
| CCmonster | yes. its installing | 18:52 |
| automatik | ok | 18:52 |
| dr_willis | ohubuntu, check what part of it? 'sudo iptables --list' shows all current rules | 18:52 |
| CCmonster | done. Its installed | 18:52 |
| Out_Cold | not much.. should be viewable out of the box | 18:52 |
| ironfoot_495 | goat_srv: this is the result of ps -aux ping localhost ->http://pastebin.com/d59c1ee4b | 18:52 |
| Paddy_EIRE | automatik: no.. you would use the routers configuration page in a web browser | 18:52 |
| ischliky | mooded, do i need to refresh anything then to make changes apply? | 18:52 |
| scientes | how could i go about converting my home partition to lvm encrypted? | 18:52 |
| mooded | ischliky, no simply save the file.. with ":wq" | 18:52 |
| dr_willis | automatik most routers are very closed as well.. at least the good ones are. :) | 18:52 |
| goat_srv | ironfoot_495: i'm sorry, disregard those commands, and type cat /etc/hosts | 18:53 |
| scunizi | ironfoot_495, how did you install apache2? | 18:53 |
| mooded | ischliky, then do a "groups yourusername" to check if your in that group nopw | 18:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | automatik: maybe you should ask more precisely what you want.. as in ask how to access your routers config page | 18:53 |
| automatik | the router is ok | 18:53 |
| ironfoot_495 | slowlearner: I don't know what you mean??? | 18:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | automatik: well why are you asking about port | 18:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ports* | 18:53 |
| ReyRey | Where is the "C" drive in ubuntu under WINE? | 18:53 |
| Djainette | Hi, everyone. I'm having some problem with NetworkManager, and it seems I'm not the only one. Anyone have some updates about a fix ? | 18:53 |
| automatik | i only wanted to know if there are any closed ports in the kernel by default | 18:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | oh | 18:53 |
| Out_Cold | CCmonster, run firestarter and add a rule to allow incoming traffic on port 80 | 18:53 |
| ironfoot_495 | scunizi: I apt-get | 18:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ReyRey: its a hidden file in your /home dir | 18:54 |
| ischliky | mooded, i am added to groups audio now, however it doesnt seemed to have changed anything | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | automatik, 'service not running on a port' is not quite the same as a port being 'closed' :) but by default ubuntu is very 'unopen' | 18:54 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ReyRey: under .wine | 18:54 |
| scunizi | ironfoot_495, are you totally text based or do you have a gui? | 18:54 |
| ReyRey | how do i access it? | 18:54 |
| automatik | ok | 18:54 |
| jrib | ReyRey: did you try what I said? | 18:54 |
| BoomShaka | can someone tell me how to make 8.10 stop asking me for the keyring password when i boot up? | 18:54 |
| CCmonster | ok | 18:54 |
| ReyRey | how do i access that "C" drive under wine? | 18:54 |
| CCmonster | it says unknown error occurred | 18:54 |
| CCmonster | um. weak | 18:54 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ReyRey: I already told you dont repeat | 18:54 |
| Djainette | ReyRey : in .wine/drice_c | 18:54 |

| andresj | hey I have two linux computers, how do I configure them so I control both sound cards from one computer? One is Ubuntu with default audio settings, and the other is an old Knoppix with ALSA (although I can run Ubuntu, too, if needed). For example, I am listening to a CD on my computer, I want it to play also on the other computer. | 18:56 |
| Khisanth | Applications -> Wine -> Browse C:\ Drive ... | 18:56 |
| CCmonster | ok so i have LAMP installed. | 18:56 |
| Out_Cold | CCmonster, hows the policy coming? | 18:56 |
| CCmonster | I have firestarted installed | 18:56 |
| ischliky | mooded, hmm ok well i guess im no worse off then i was, im really confused why it stopped, i can play videos and get video w/o audio, even like flash has vid and no audio | 18:56 |
| CCmonster | I went through the wizard of Firestarter and NO DICE | 18:56 |
| jrib | ReyRey: pastebin exactly what you typed and the full output on paste.ubuntu.com and link us | 18:56 |

| Out_Cold | CCmonster, you can't open firestarter?? | 18:56 |
| scunizi | ironfoot_495, try reinstalling but use System>Admin>Synaptic Package manager .. once it's open go to Edit>Mark Package by Name and choose LAMP. now click apply and it will install apache2, php & mysql .. | 18:57 |
| jrib | esr: be wary of how up-to-date they are regarding intrepid however. You may also want to check bugs.ubuntu.com | 18:57 |
| Djainette | esr: seems to be NetworkManager upgrade issue | 18:57 |
| scunizi | ironfoot_495, works every time for me. | 18:57 |
| mooded | ischliky, yup it sounds really strange.. i guess you already tried rebooting ? ;) not that a bad driver is the cause (for a rare soundcard for example) | 18:57 |
| ReyRey | i tried to browse for the C drive under Wine but nothing happens.. no window pops up or anything.. | 18:57 |
| goat_srv | scunizi: i don't think apache is the problem for ironfoot_495, his hosts file is messed up | 18:57 |
| ironfoot_495 | scunizi: it will resart I just can't get it to resoond??? | 18:57 |
| esr | Djainette: Do you have a suggested fix? | 18:57 |
| CCmonster | firestarter is open | 18:57 |
| jrib | ReyRey: I can't help you if you ignore me | 18:57 |
| scunizi | goat_srv, ah.. ok.. | 18:58 |
| CCmonster | but it keeps being weird and saying i have an error when i try to actually activate the firewall | 18:58 |
| CCmonster | the program loads no problem | 18:58 |
| Djainette | esr: nope I came here crying too... | 18:58 |
| ischliky | mooded, i have tried rebooting ya, am using it on a dell inspiron 1720, had no problem ever under haron, just recently swapped | 18:58 |
| Out_Cold | so go to the policy tab and click in the top box and add a new rule for incoming on port 80 | 18:58 |
| ReyRey | jrib im not ignoring you..if you seen my responses to your suggestions.. i get an error | 18:58 |
| ardi_kk | hello, this is a strange problem with my lenovo r60 running ubuntu 8.04.1 64 bit. i found that the battery life of my thinkpad has been degrading rapidly which is kind of ubnormal. initially it used to show me 3 hours 15 minits battery life and now in 6 months it is just 2 hours. I thought it was a bad battery and got a new one today. but even the new one exacly shows 2 hours battery backup on full charge. my question is how is this possible? and by | 18:58 |
| ironfoot_495 | scunizi: I have a gui. | 18:58 |
| jrib | ReyRey: I asked you to pastebin something, did you do that? | 18:58 |
| regebro | jrib: No, sorry. my bad. I was modprobing the wrong driver. | 18:58 |
| regebro | I have a driver listed as restricted in the Hardare drivers window. How do I figure out what driver that really is? It's not the one I thought it was. | 18:58 |
| automatik | . | 18:58 |
| === urkki is now known as Finnish | ||
| Out_Cold | CCmonster, sorry click in the second box and add the rule | 18:59 |
| LjL | ardi_kk, the estimate that the power manager shows is just that - an estimate, based on previous usage | 18:59 |
| LjL | ardi_kk: instead, do "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info", see if the last full charge differs very much from the nominal charge | 18:59 |

| scunizi | ironfoot_495, if your hosts file is messed up it might work.. but I'm not sure.. you can also go to System/Admin/Network.. unlock the new box.. click on the Host tab at the top and add 127.0.0.1 alias=your computer name | 19:00 |

| shane2peru | Djainette: let me double check, I was just on support with my host, and they setup an email client elsewhere and were able to receive all emails and a test one with no prob | 19:09 |
| jenda_ | CCmonster: if Apache is running the its simple: http://IP(or hostname)/name_of_html_file :) | 19:09 |
| Peachz | i have installed apache2 and php on my vps for me to be able to host websites, i have also installed the two clients from webmin so that hopefully i can use a cpanel etc.. | 19:09 |
| ironfoot_495 | goat_srv: what does PM mean??? | 19:09 |
| Peachz | i dont know how to access this though? :\ | 19:09 |
| CCmonster | ok. that's what i thought | 19:09 |
| ardi_kk | like for example even the new battery shows exactly the same time as my old one as if bios keeps some cunning memory about my previous record | 19:09 |
| shane2peru | Djainette: ping was successfull. | 19:09 |
| ironfoot_495 | :-D | 19:09 |
| joaopinto | Peachz, webmin has problems on ubuntu | 19:09 |
| Peachz | its on debian, i wasn't sure they had a channel though | 19:10 |
| shane2peru | Djainette: I'm thinking something in the upgrade messed up Evolution, not sure what though. | 19:10 |
| Djainette | shane2peru: that's a start. Does it work from your place with another client ? | 19:10 |
| ardi_kk | ljl: could the battery problem be a co insidance that the new one is exactly as bad as my new one? | 19:10 |
| mooded | Peachz, they have ;) | 19:10 |
| CCmonster | how do i get my ip in the CLI? | 19:10 |
| mooded | CCmonster, --> ifconfig | 19:10 |
| joaopinto | CCmonster, ifconfig | 19:10 |
| shane2peru | Djainette: good, question, let me run through and setup T-Bird to see if that works. | 19:10 |
| jenda_ | CCmonster: sudo ifconfig | 19:11 |
| mooded | jenda, no need for sudo since no modification ,) | 19:11 |
| Djainette | shane2peru: check the "do not erase from server" option, or else you won't be able to download your mails in evolution later | 19:11 |
| CCmonster | then look for inetaddress? | 19:11 |
| shane2peru | Djainette: right, got to install t-bird first. | 19:11 |
| jenda_ | mooded: oh yeah that's true :) | 19:11 |
| mooded | CCmonster, yup | 19:11 |
| mooded | CCmonster, probably of your "eth0" device. | 19:12 |
| CCmonster | ok. So i have some files on a windows mount that i want to drop in the www folder | 19:12 |
| CCmonster | it says i dont have root axx | 19:12 |
| _cb | How could I do the following? | 19:12 |
| _cb | 1.- Give end users the ability to save program and settings (not data) to a bootable CD with a single click | 19:12 |
| _cb | 2.- Give end users the ability to restore program and settings (not data) from a bootable cd with a single click. | 19:12 |
| _cb | Am assuming I can script taring appropriate folders. Not sure what to do about Grub or how to script the bootale cd. | 19:12 |
| mooded | CCmonster, if you're behind a router it wont show you your public ip though. | 19:12 |
| FloodBot1 | _cb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:12 |
| _cb | Any ideas? | 19:12 |
| LjL | ardi_kk: perhaps the laptop is simply taking too much power? not being put in some powersaving / cpu scaling mode? try "powertop" | 19:12 |
| CCmonster | is there a way to allow me to copy/paste some files into that folder via the GUI | 19:12 |
| CCmonster | or will i have to do some magic via CLI | 19:12 |
| CCmonster | ? | 19:12 |
| shovi | where does emacs install to?? | 19:12 |
| jrib | CCmonster: why do you need to do that? | 19:13 |
| regebro | OK, I think I'm giving up... I can't get the LiveCD running on my macbook 4,1, and if I can't get the LiveCD running, I'm not sure I'm going to waste time trying to repartition the HD just to possibly discover the same problem with a real installation. :-/ | 19:13 |
| AnonymousOne | I'm trying to install Ubuntu in my partition... using the free space I created | 19:13 |
| AnonymousOne | http://img514.imageshack.us/my.php?image=testxt7.png | 19:13 |
| AnonymousOne | There is an image | 19:13 |
| lakitu | i'm getting no keyboard support, in GRUB only, & i have USB keyboard support enabled in my BIOS | 19:13 |
| ardi_kk | if some one can confirm my battery problem to be a co insidance then i will at least feel relaxed. i had a rapidly "going down " trend on my linovo thinkpad r60 battery and some times it was kind of good and some times the full charge at 100% is being reported 2 hours when it should be 3 hours. now when i got my new battery, it shows exactly 2 hours as if some memory is maintained | 19:13 |
| lakitu | it happens after a crash, & sticks around for awhile | 19:13 |
| CCmonster | I made a few web pages i want someone else to be able to preview | 19:13 |
| regebro | Guess I have to choice but to stay with OS X. :-( | 19:13 |
| CCmonster | just to be able to preview it off my machine for a quick looksy | 19:13 |
| jrib | regebro: os x isn't a live cd :) | 19:14 |
| CCmonster | it won't let me put any files in the www folder | 19:14 |
| NekroJakub | Amarok 2, yay or nay? | 19:14 |
| shane2peru | Djainette: lol, tbird was all setup from before, I guess I never deleted the configurations from before, at any rate, yes I could see my emails. | 19:14 |
| esr | In Gutsy gibbon there was a panel applet that gave me a pull-down menu of available wireless connections. I don't see that in my Ibex taskbar. Does it still exist? | 19:14 |
| CCmonster | any help jrib | 19:14 |
| mooded | CCmonster, "sudo su" and copy your files on commandline.. | 19:14 |
| shane2peru | and it did get the new ones. | 19:14 |
| regebro | jrib: Yeah, I know...? | 19:14 |
| CCmonster | ok mooded , i thought that was probably the method i would have to resort too | 19:15 |
| CCmonster | Amarok2 is ok | 19:15 |
| Djainette | shane2peru: OK now you can blame evolution :) | 19:15 |
| shane2peru | Djainette: and it did get the new ones. | 19:15 |
| jrib | regebro: so does the issue exist in an installed ubuntu? | 19:15 |
| CCmonster | i don't like the UI very much. They messed with a good thing | 19:15 |
| AnonymousOne | http://img514.imageshack.us/my.php?image=testxt7.png - will that overwrite my entire hard drive? | 19:15 |
| shane2peru | Djainette: right, I mean, I hadn't really changed anything, and just today it stopped working, which I have done a few updates today, so I had reason to think that anyhow. | 19:15 |
| jrib | CCmonster: you should set proper permissions. Create a group for editing /var/www. gksudo nautilus will give you a sudo-enabled nautilus but be careful. It's a better idea to setup a group to edit /var/www | 19:15 |
| regebro | jrib: Who knows? I'm not gonna install it until I can get it to work. | 19:16 |
| MTecknology | So... how do I set my gnome background without gui tools? | 19:16 |
| jrib | regebro: it works fine on my macbook after a reboot | 19:16 |
| Djainette | shane2peru: sure, but you never know when a server is down... | 19:16 |
| CCmonster | jrib. I understand | 19:16 |
| CCmonster | i just need a quick fix for now. I can do the correct way after. | 19:16 |
| jrib | MTecknology: it's set in gconf. Use gconftool-2 | 19:16 |
| regebro | jrib: So you enable the hardware dirver and reboot? What version macbook do you have? | 19:16 |
| mooded | AnonymousOne, it looks like | 19:16 |
| mooded | AnonymousOne, id use a normal "installer cd" from ubuntu | 19:17 |
| MTecknology | jrib: any idea what option I need to set for it? | 19:17 |
| jrib | regebro: last version before the new ones | 19:17 |
| Djainette | K, bye people | 19:17 |
| jrib | MTecknology: not offhand, no | 19:17 |
| AnonymousOne | mooded: id ? | 19:17 |
| regebro | jrib: OK, good, me too. | 19:17 |
| AnonymousOne | mooded: oh, I have a normal installer CD ? | 19:17 |
| mooded | AnonymousOne, there you can set partitions better.. (or use option "Manual" in this installer screen.. | 19:17 |
| jrib | regebro: everything works except mic and webcam. The webcam you can get to work too though | 19:17 |
| mohamedb | hi | 19:17 |
| AnonymousOne | mooded: manual says the same thing | 19:17 |
| regebro | But not the mic? Ok, no big deal. | 19:18 |
| jenda_ | !medibuntu | 19:18 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 19:18 |
| jrib | regebro: haven't looked into the mic to be honest | 19:18 |
| d0nets | i just formatted my ubuntu partition and installed 8.10 in its place | 19:18 |
| d0nets | now i get error 22 when booting grub | 19:18 |
| regebro | jrib: I have started a os x vs ubuntu thread here to help me decide: http://regebro.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/ubuntu-vs-os-x-the-deathmatch/ | 19:18 |
| d0nets | any idears? | 19:18 |
| mooded | AnonymousOne, i meant by use a normal cd... "boot from it" ;) but just use "manual" and create a partition in the freespace.. should also do the trick ,) | 19:19 |
| ronhalfdanr | any VM gurus? | 19:19 |
| regebro | jrib: Do you know which driver you use for the wireless? | 19:19 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, surely not a guru.... maybe you tell your problem first ? ;) | 19:19 |
| jrib | regebro: no, just whatever hardware drivers popped up | 19:20 |
| CCmonster | how do i see my true ip address | 19:20 |
| CCmonster | i am at a Panera | 19:20 |
| binarymutant | how do I point my dhcpd.conf to my tftp folder? | 19:20 |
| jrib | CCmonster: what do you mean, "true ip address"? | 19:20 |
| ronhalfdanr | mooded: no problem yet, trying to get info before I do anything and make a problem | 19:20 |
| giacomo_c1 | so 8.10 killed my gnome... how do i get it to work again? it just gives me a black screen but still shows the pointer | 19:20 |
| mooded | CCmonster, --> whatismyip.com | 19:20 |
| regebro | jrib: OK. | 19:20 |
| jonathon_ | am i only allowed to join one room in irssi? | 19:20 |
| jrib | jonathon_: no | 19:20 |
| KoFish | jonathon_: just alt-<#> | 19:20 |
| genii | snarkster: Perhaps somehow the key combo which activates the laptop numlock mode gets turned on | 19:21 |
| CCmonster | so i found my ip | 19:21 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, so what you wanna know ? | 19:21 |
| CCmonster | but, if i go to myip/mypage.html | 19:21 |
| CCmonster | i get nothing | 19:21 |
| KoFish | I take the first mentioned: Your favorite torrent client with torrent creating capabilities | 19:21 |
| jonathon_ | KoFish, hmm didnt work | 19:21 |
| jrib | CCmonster: if you are behind panera's router, they probably aren't forwarding port 80 to your machine... | 19:21 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok, I read the howto forge on VMware server..............not sure what to make of a few things | 19:21 |
| CCmonster | hmm. is there a way to get around it? | 19:21 |
| KoFish | jonathon_: after you used /j #<channel name> | 19:21 |
| ronhalfdanr | mooded: first thing, it says to run the virtual machine you have to run it in firefox or any other web browser? | 19:22 |
| Jakob_the_liar | can someone help me i cant add any extensions to firefox | 19:22 |
| jrib | CCmonster: nope | 19:22 |
| CCmonster | fuck! | 19:22 |

| qowao | HALP | 19:22 |
| regebro | Oh, jrib, one last question: Does your CD also emit some loud klicking noices when you insert or eject CDs? Really scared me first time. | 19:22 |
| shane2peru | !language @ CCmonster | 19:22 |

| giacomo_c1 | can anyone help me fix an 8.10 upgrade problem that gives me a black screen instead of gnome?\ | 19:22 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, "what" says that ? :) | 19:22 |

| atisz | hi where can i find tar source files? | 19:23 |
| regebro | jrib: OK, that's comforting to know. Thanks! | 19:23 |
| mindrape | CCmonster: if you are internal to the network where the webpage is use its LAN address, not WAN address. The routers get jacked up on NAT sometimes. | 19:23 |
| jrib | atisz: apt-get source tar | 19:23 |
| jrib | regebro: no problem | 19:23 |
| jonathon_ | KoFish, did not work sorry | 19:23 |
| atisz | tnx | 19:23 |
| atisz | :) | 19:23 |
| shane2peru | can someone help me troubleshoot evolution? it has mysteriously quit checking my email | 19:23 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, with a normal vmware you run os-instances... no need for any browser at all.. that's why im asking for the source of your information | 19:23 |
| jrib | regebro: oh, btw. Check the wiki for how to make your touchpad usable | 19:23 |
| CCmonster | mindrape, So is there a way to correct the NAT? | 19:23 |
| qowao | hey i managed to get the Cisco VPN client to work now but i get "Could not attach to driver. Is kernel module loaded?" errors!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 19:23 |
| akazawax | hi I ran badblocks and the only output after it was done was this: 134217664 What does this mean? | 19:24 |
| mindrape | CCmonster - easiest way is to put the webserver in a DMZ. | 19:24 |
| Jakob_the_liar | can someone tell me why firefox wont let me install any extensions? | 19:24 |
| regebro | jrib: Yeah, I aw that, but I', not gonna bother unless I can get wifi working first. :) | 19:24 |
| KoFish | jonathon_: read a guide, i'm new at irssi | 19:24 |
| Jakob_the_liar | or where the log is for it? | 19:24 |
| CCmonster | Yea. But i don't control Panera, so I dont have the option of DMZ.. | 19:24 |
| CCmonster | :( | 19:24 |
| giacomo_c1 | oh no! nothing gnome works! not even gnome-terminal! | 19:24 |
| masterjamie | Hi all, I've gone a little further with my BT issue. Instead of failing to pair. It now says "Device setup sucessful." It still doesn't move the pointer, though. Any more ideas? | 19:24 |
| CCmonster | forget gnome terminal, get Yakuake | 19:24 |
| CCmonster | :) | 19:24 |
| giacomo_c1 | :argh: ubuntu! how are you going to wave this fance release infront of me then ruin everything! | 19:25 |

| lee | Hi I have a strange question. It has to do with the ChekSums ID , is that Autmaticlay vreated when one makes and ISO or how did that come in to play in Linux? How does it insure file integrity? I am asking this because 1 I am curiouse and 2 not sure how to google it for onfo | 19:25 |
| jrib | atisz: check your sources.list (I have to go) | 19:25 |

| giacomo_c1 | unr3a1: because 8.10 destroyed everything gnome related | 19:26 |
| mooded | lee, maybe google for "md5sum linux" | 19:26 |
| unr3a1 | giacomo_c1, I am sorry | 19:26 |
| lee | ah ok ty | 19:26 |
| giacomo_c1 | unr3a1: i blame this on you, it is your fault! | 19:26 |
| genii | HDready: One is not really better than the other, it's all subjective to how you like to work or how you prefer your desktop to function. That said you are in the #ubuntu channel where Gnome is usually the favourite | 19:26 |
| mooded | lee, np | 19:26 |
| RobertTables | Ive doing a bit of reading up on the Hardy LTS release and there seems to be a lot of bad press about it(Samba etc), have things ironed themselves out now? or should I go Ibex? Comments anyone? | 19:27 |

| lee | Hmmm I also can't seem to get the the PS3 version running on my PS2 lol | 19:27 |
| genii | RobertTables: Hardy will have updates as long as it is supported, Intrepid is an intermediate release | 19:28 |
| kri | when i type a command for example 'sudo dpkg -i audacious-crossfade12345678.deb' and i want any error message to be translate what to i type first? | 19:28 |

| mooded | RobertTables, you want to use the machine to install on mainly as a server ? goto plain debian.. otherwise, for the desktop im very very content with intrepid 8.10 | 19:28 |

| ronhalfdanr | mooded: had to fetch fresh coffee..............lets start with I need to make a virtual machine to run twp big apps under WinXP for one and Under Win98 for the other but if the VM uses a full WinXP install I should be able to use the Win compatibility function to run the 98 app..............does VMware server let me do that? | 19:28 |

| mooded | ronhalfdanr, yup it will.. if its simply for testing your also fine with the normal vmware-server.. | 19:29 |
| memeemeee | if I want to run a command (say cp) for all files except one what would I type? i'm thinking some modifier to * | 19:29 |
| jmarsden | RobertTables: Every release of every distribution has some bugs... use Hardy if you need the long term support, use Intrepid if an 18 month support life is OK for your needs. | 19:29 |

| mooded | ronhalfdanr, k.. then vmware-server should just be fine for you.. ;) | 19:31 |
| qowao | too many* | 19:31 |
| HDready | genii: ah ok.. that means i get every update i can get on ubuntu? except the updates for the programs? dont really get it | 19:31 |
| unr3a1 | giacomo_c1: that's really weird. did you do an upgrade, or fresh install? | 19:31 |
| erUSUL | vincent__: install build-essential | 19:31 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, it _might_ be a PITA to install it though ,)) | 19:31 |
| The-Compiler | vincent__: gcc I think, included in build-essential | 19:31 |
| vincent__ | erUSUL, already did that | 19:31 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok, next question mooded, does VMware server make a menu item I just click on to run? | 19:31 |
| erUSUL | vincent__: then you got everything you need | 19:32 |
| vincent__ | but something complains that gcc is probably not it | 19:32 |
| loller | i`ve got problem with booting the newest kernel http://paste.ubuntu.com/70130/ | 19:32 |
| loller | any suggestions? | 19:32 |
| genii | HDready: If you are using Gnome or KDE does not matter. When you update the system it updates anything you have installed on it, from Kubuntu or Ubuntu or Xubuntu or so on | 19:32 |
| vincent__ | [!] Kernel compiler and gcc seem to be different versions. | 19:32 |
| lakitu | any ideas why i wouldn't get USB keyboard support in GRUB? it's enabled in the BIOS, & works at the boot screen | 19:32 |
| qowao | erUSUL: i think everybody does if he uses vpn tho | 19:32 |
| jmarsden | RobertTables: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810overview | 19:32 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, nope.. you "boot" a complete windows XP instance for example (and it opens in a window on your ubuntu) | 19:32 |
| giacomo_c1 | unr3a1: upgrade... and it was working earlier too! but i rebooted and now gnome doesn't work... i mean, fluxbox (what im currently using) works fine, but gnome is shot | 19:32 |
| masterjamie | I've gotten further with trying to get BT working in 8.10. It now says "Device setup sucessful.". Despite that, it's not moving the mouse pointer. Any ideas? | 19:32 |
| kri | hm anyone know what i do? | 19:32 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok mooded, where and how would I start it then? | 19:32 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, if you want to run windows-progs you could try "wine" (opensource, free) or the commercial pendant crossover-linux, which works really nice | 19:33 |
| mark4 | how do i start sshd in ubuntu. i cant find anything that even looks like its related to sshd | 19:33 |
| unr3a1 | you could try a fresh install | 19:33 |
| qowao | me? | 19:33 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, (they gave it away for free a month ago - but was only cause of jubilee) | 19:33 |
| unr3a1 | giacomo_c1: you could try a fresh install. | 19:33 |
| ronhalfdanr | wine does not work for these apps thus the step to VMware | 19:33 |
| kri | i get a error messeage but i want the messeage to be in english when i type 'sudo dpkg -i lala-lala.deb' you put $LANG... or something before the dpkg -i... anyone know what to type? | 19:33 |
| HDready | genii: sounds good.. so i can use kubuntu without have fear to get no good support :) | 19:33 |
| ronhalfdanr | crossover also does not work | 19:33 |
| giacomo_c1 | unr3a1: i know i could, but if im going to be fresh installing anything, it will be debian because ubuntu has betrayed me one too many times | 19:33 |
| giacomo_c1 | i mean, i've been using ubuntu since 5.04 | 19:33 |
| jmarsden | kri: Try LANG=C | 19:34 |
| erUSUL | kri: LC_ALL=C | 19:34 |
| unr3a1 | giacomo_c1: well you can't give up now!! | 19:34 |

| === nick__ is now known as Skky | ||
| Skky | anyone running lamp-server? | 19:35 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, there's a vmware-server-console which allows you starting vmware-instances .. | 19:35 |
| giacomo_c1 | hmmm, gnome isn't even selected under synaptic... should it be. DOES EVERYONE ELSE HAVE GNOME GREEN UNDER SYNAPTIC?! | 19:35 |
| jmarsden | loller: o you don't, read that message more carefully. You already have the latest kernel installed just fine. | 19:35 |
| mark4 | hello? how do i start an ssh server on my ubuntu installation? | 19:35 |
| ronhalfdanr | ok mooded, that's what I needed to know on how to use it once I have it setup | 19:35 |
| scunizi | giacomo_c1, upgades don't always go smoothly on some systems for whatever reason.. that's why I always have a seperate /home partition .. just in case I need to do a fresh install. | 19:35 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, from there you will see the "window" i was talking about too (in the window is your normal windows desktop) | 19:35 |
| mark4 | i cant find anything related to sshd in the menus or in the services thingie or anywhere else for that matter | 19:35 |
| genii | HDready: You could look at it like that I suppose :) | 19:35 |
| mark4 | i cant even find anything avaiable for install OR installed | 19:36 |
| jmarsden | mark4: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 19:36 |
| giacomo_c1 | scunizi: it's just gnome that failed... everything else seems to work pretty fine | 19:36 |
| ronhalfdanr | next question mooded, both apps and the WinXP install will need to access the web to activate, any idea what networking to tell VMware server to use when I install it? | 19:36 |
| scunizi | giacomo_c1, k.. no gnome selected here in my system in synaptics | 19:36 |
| unr3a1 | giacomo_c1: well you can't. sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages and reinstall ubuntu fresh | 19:36 |
| nite_johnboy | Hi - Will PokerStars.Net - run under Wine ? ? | 19:36 |
| ronhalfdanr | there's only one more question coming for now | 19:36 |
| magentar | anyone knows a good page on how to setup a webcam with ubuntu? i don't seem to get it to work :( | 19:36 |
| marek_ | hi i have a problem with xserver, after downloading gnome it doesnt start anything, only login screen is shown (in text mode) what should i do to start login screen automatically? | 19:37 |
| HDready | genii: sounds good.. if not i will find you :P.. thanks so far | 19:37 |
| genii | nite_johnboy: Yes it does, my friend uses it | 19:37 |
| qowao | hey in a standard ubuntu install, could it be somehow insecure to enter another network via VPN? pls help | 19:37 |
| marek_ | magentar what model? | 19:37 |
| magentar | sec | 19:37 |
| maxxist | nite_johnboy yes very well | 19:37 |
| mark4 | im not even going to ask why my GUI installer didnt show me anything related to sshd :/ | 19:37 |
| mark4 | ty | 19:37 |
| unr3a1 | backup that my-packages to a flash drive or something | 19:37 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, you can configure it in different ways.. you can tell the instance to use your normal "host" connection (the same ip you use currently) .. or you can configure it completey on its own (virtual network interface) | 19:37 |
| nite_johnboy | genii: Sweet - Thanks much! | 19:37 |
| unr3a1 | afk for a min | 19:37 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, the instances will be able to connect to the web | 19:38 |
| * unr3a1 has stepped away for a min | 19:38 | |
| ronhalfdanr | ok, will use normal since it only needs web access to activate stuff on install. | 19:38 |
| memeemeee | if I want to run a command (say cp) for all files except one what would I type? something like *[not= filename] | 19:38 |
| magentar | marek_, how to find out? somewhere in /proc i guess | 19:38 |
| Skky | anyone running lamp-server? | 19:38 |
| marek_ | magentar if this is usb camera | 19:38 |
| andresj | how do i get a capture mixer if my sound card doesn't support it? | 19:38 |

| magentar | it's integrated in my samsung laptop (p210) | 19:38 |
| unique_ | i have a problem with network man im on 8.10, there is no option for 64/128-bit it gives me a 40/128-bit witch i cannot connect to my router with any one have any ideas? | 19:38 |
| loller | i can`t configure vmware http://paste.ubuntu.com/70133/ | 19:38 |
| loller | any suggestions | 19:38 |
| giacomo_c1 | unr3a1: what was that? | 19:39 |
| Skky | mooded: i ran sudo tasksel install lamp-server and everything seemed to install fine but I can't find it. how do I start it up/ | 19:39 |
| nite_johnboy | maxxist: Cool - no excuse for my friend to even have to go into Windows again - Cleaned a ton of spyware off his box - & installed Ibex - THanks much... | 19:39 |
| Pretto | loller, theres a patch somewhere | 19:39 |
| qowao | hlp | 19:39 |
| marek_ | unique_ can you generate another key from router admin? | 19:39 |
| ronhalfdanr | last question for now mooded...........I read somewhere in the reams of confusing stuff on VMware that having the WinXP install on the boot drive for ubuntu can cause problems...........does that mean I need to tell VMware to use space on one of my data drives for the VM space? | 19:39 |
| mooded | Skky, you have to install and compile a kernel | 19:39 |
| mooded | Skky, sry wrong | 19:39 |
| jkessler | i can't connect to yahoo in pidgin. it says "Unknown error number 29. Logging into the Yahoo! website may fix this. | 19:40 |
| jkessler | http://ab.login.yahoo.com/img/F69y0OVZFemoo9Eheshn30bm0W2VjjJRLos3kNVkf5MRBoc0dg--.jpg" | 19:40 |
| mooded | loller, you have to install and compile a kernel | 19:40 |
| magentar | marek_, it says USB2.0 UVC PC Camera | 19:40 |
| unique_ | yes but with this problem i cannot connect to any wep protected routers | 19:40 |
| magentar | idVendor Synthek | 19:40 |
| mooded | Skky, lamp means "Linux Apache Mysql + PHP" | 19:40 |
| magentar | Syntek | 19:40 |
| maxxist | nite_johnboy it has worked well under wine for at least two years. however i have found resizing the pokert tables doesnt work. but beyond that it is flawless. | 19:40 |
| mooded | Skky, so "ps aux|grep -i apache" or "ps aux |grep -i http" shows you if your webserver is running at all | 19:40 |
| mooded | Skky, if it is.. connect to "http://127.0.0.1" to see its pages.. | 19:41 |
| mooded | Skky, from there on: "happy developing" | 19:41 |
| qowao | hey in a standard ubuntu install, could it be somehow insecure to enter another network via VPN? pls help | 19:41 |
| unique_ | i could connect under 8.04 | 19:41 |
| marek_ | magentar try this one | 19:41 |
| marek_ | http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Setting+up+your+webcam+under+Ubuntu+7.10 | 19:41 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, you "install" the vmwareinstance into a file | 19:41 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, that file can be anywhere you want it to be.. that post you have read was just another bunch of nonsense as it sounds. | 19:42 |
| goat_srv | qowao: to answer your question, the security of entering another network via VPN is the same security as joining that network via LAN (inside the network) | 19:42 |
| kri | hm i get this error msg when i try to 'sudo dpkg -i audacious-crossfade_0.3.14-1buld1_i386.deb' http://sajten.net/errormsg what does it mean? what should i do? | 19:42 |
| scunizi | With a mac keyboard there's no "Alt".. what's the substitute? | 19:42 |
| qowao | goat_srv: yeah is it ok with a standard intsll? | 19:42 |
| unique_ | some one told me to try wicd but i would kinda like to use the default network man if possible | 19:42 |
| goat_srv | qowao: yes | 19:42 |
| masterjamie | I'm still having problems with BT under 8.10. The paring seems to work fine now, but my mouse is not being picked up. I would welcome any ideas. If it helps, I have a belkin BT adapter and a Speed Link mouse. | 19:42 |
| qowao | goat_srv: why? | 19:43 |
| ronhalfdanr | mooded: I know that much, what I read said it is a bad idea for that filespace to be on the root drive............is that possibly true and should I have VMware use space on one of my other 3 drives? | 19:43 |
| ambush276 | hey guys i have a quick question | 19:43 |
| qowao | goat_srv: its an evil net im planning to enter | 19:43 |
| qowao | goat_srv: need shields | 19:43 |
| ambush276 | im trying to compile something in eclipse and im getting this error http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x | 19:43 |
| ambush276 | wait | 19:43 |
| ambush276 | wrong error | 19:43 |
| booksbuggy | anyone know how to set printer to gray scale? | 19:43 |
| goat_srv | qowao: you are asking if its secure?, you are in a LAN, so you have to trust your LAN members | 19:43 |
| qowao | goat_srv: dont know what waits for me in this jungle | 19:43 |
| booksbuggy | my printer is hp 960 | 19:43 |
| goat_srv | qowao: then setup a firewall | 19:44 |
| qowao | goat_srv: no i sure dont trust them. question is whether i can trust the ubuntu default install to protect me | 19:44 |
| Skky | mooded: lamp-server does not come installed with phpmyadmin or a mysql administrative tool other than command line mysql? | 19:44 |
| ronhalfdanr | mooded: yeah well, I keep finding nonsense for various things in the various linux docs, they often contradict each other and they assume people automatically know how and where to do things | 19:44 |
| ambush276 | im getting this error.. i know its a permissions thing but im not sure how to change it so i can use this /bin/sh: /usr/local/bin/idlc: Permission denied | 19:44 |
| ambush276 | how do i set the permissions so i can acess that file? | 19:44 |
| mooded | ronhalfdanr, i dont think its relevant at all, where those instance-files are on your hard-disks.. i dont see any problems with them laying on your boot-drive. | 19:44 |
| ambush276 | this is on the eclipse compiler | 19:44 |
| goat_srv | qowao: I'm sorry, i misunderstood, you should protect your machine with a firewall | 19:44 |
| qowao | goat_srv: why would i need a firewall. will ubuntu in standard settings just accept anything???? | 19:45 |

| vegombrei | i'm cant connect my bluetooth headset to ubuntu guy at wallmart said it would work fine and that he uses it .. my pc has bluetooth .. how do i get it to send sound thru bluetooth ? | 20:20 |
| MustafaAhmed | Intel pro... I don't know its number... I don't know where can I find the device manager in ubuntu | 20:21 |
| MustafaAhmed | Pici: Intel pro... I don't know its number... I don't know where can I find the device manager in ubuntu | 20:21 |
| noah_ | joaopinto: OK, so I'll just have to review what I need in /var -- for my application, I think just the MySQL database. | 20:21 |
| bakermd | Is sshd not installed by default? I tried apt-get install sshd and it does not know what I want... | 20:21 |
| jmarsden | bakermd: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 20:21 |
| bakermd | jmarsden: Thanks!! | 20:22 |
| pyrak | how do i find out if my laptop is i386 or amd64 | 20:22 |
| co-creator | Slart:it says "playing raw data '/dev/urandom' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono" but i can't hear anything | 20:22 |
| pyrak | it's a system76 darter ultra | 20:22 |
| mooded | bakermd, "apt-cache search ssh" would have helped in that case ,) | 20:22 |
| bullet234 | Aaa... can i get a little help here ? | 20:22 |
| jmarsden | pyrak: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 20:23 |
| darkvertex | pyrak: sudo lshw | 20:23 |
| Slart | co-creator: check in system, preferences, sound. Is everything set to alsa? pulseaudio? try changing | 20:23 |
| ThRixXx | !xterm | 20:23 |
| ubottu | If with all the cute terminals that are around you're still using xterm, then you deserve any problem you're experiencing with it. Go away. | 20:23 |
| Pici | MustafaAhmed: Unforunately, it looks like the bugtracker launchpad.net is down, so I'm unable to look for a bug currently. | 20:23 |
| joaopinto | noah_, to backup the mysql database you should use mysqldump | 20:23 |
| Pici | MustafaAhmed: you can try to do: sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart instead of rebooting your computer next time. Or look on Launchpad in a few minutes. | 20:24 |
| pyrak | so it's intel core 2 duo | 20:24 |
| maverick340 | okay i think i got it done | 20:24 |
| joaopinto | noah_, and make sure you are not using /var/www for your own contents | 20:24 |
| pyrak | that's i386 i'm guessing? | 20:24 |
| vegombrei | i'm cant connect my bluetooth headset to ubuntu guy at wallmart said it would work fine and that he uses it .. my pc has bluetooth .. how do i get it to send sound thru bluetooth ? | 20:24 |
| MustafaAhmed | thanks | 20:24 |
| genii | pyrak: Core2 is usually 64bit | 20:24 |
| jmarsden | pyrak: Well, that is an Intel CPU, not an AMD one. It can run 32bit "i386" code... but can also run 64bit if asked to | 20:25 |
| pamchi | some one had install a mail server in ubuntu server ??? | 20:25 |
| maverick340 | Sound in : (hw:NVidia,0) ; Sound out:pulse ; Ringing: HDA NVIdia (hw:NVidia,0) | 20:25 |
| maverick340 | these are the settings i am using | 20:25 |
| pyrak | jmarsden, so which ubuntu do you recommend installing? | 20:25 |
| maverick340 | all trial and error, but the call testing worked fine | 20:25 |
| pyrak | Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz | 20:25 |
| bullet234 | I'm starting to hate myself and you as well... | 20:26 |
| jmarsden | pyrak: on a notebook and you are a beginner? The i386 (32bit) one will be fine. | 20:26 |
| ThRixXx | Hey people | 20:26 |
| === haptiK is now known as gonadsAndStrife | ||
| mooded | pamchi, postfix is one of the best i know | 20:26 |
| grendal_prime | what do you people use to edit the xorg.config. | 20:26 |
| darkvertex | vegombrei: first, make sure you have started bluetooth service in System->Admin->Services. Then check that it works with hcitool dev | 20:26 |
| ThRixXx | when I type: "X 1:& term -display :1 &" it says DISPLAY is not set. HELP! | 20:27 |
| Slart | grendal_prime: gedit works for me | 20:27 |
| grendal_prime | mine is totally jacked and i wanted to run the dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver but....well it does nothing with the video card? | 20:27 |
| DJones | grendal_prime: I use either sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.comf or gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:27 |
| vegombrei | darkvertex: checking .. one sec | 20:27 |
| === Sted is now known as Idi | ||
| mooded | ThRixXx, "export DISPLAY=:0.1" maybe.. (if that is the actual cause of error) ;) | 20:28 |
| grendal_prime | no no no thats not what i mean...ii use nano for directly editing that, i thought that 8.10 had some hardware detection advantage in it. | 20:28 |
| ThRixXx | must I type that ? | 20:28 |
| grendal_prime | it is not detecting my 845 intel video card (and i find that rather un-impressive) | 20:28 |
| memeemeee | is there a way to make a job run in background but still ask for passwords? | 20:28 |
| joaopinto | memeemeee, no | 20:28 |
| grendal_prime | memeemeee: why would yo uwant to do that? | 20:28 |
| mooded | ThRixXx, no you could also say it to your computer and wait. | 20:28 |
| === gonadsAndStrife is now known as haptiK | ||
| Slart | grendal_prime: it does.. most of the stuff in xorg.conf is autodetected.. or should be at least | 20:29 |
| grendal_prime | ya this blows...install went ok but im having to use the vesa driver | 20:29 |
| ThRixXx | ty | 20:29 |
| jmarsden | memeemeee: If the program is ssh, there is the -f options... is that what you mean? | 20:29 |
| vegombrei | darkvertex: bluetooth is enabled there .. i can see the bluetooth icon too .. it finds my headset .. but it crashes then .. i need to know how to restart that bluetooth service and then reconnect to my headset .. | 20:29 |
| grendal_prime | it instaleld the drivers for it..but x never got configured for it | 20:29 |
| ThRixXx | mooded, now it says : Cant open display :1 | 20:30 |
| darkvertex | vegombrei: What does hcitool dev says? Follow it with hcitool scan | 20:30 |
| christine7 | hi | 20:30 |
| mooded | ThRixXx, maybe lets start the other way round.. what are you actually trying to do ? | 20:30 |
| dystopia | hello | 20:30 |
| memeemeee | I want to make an alias to make sudo rsync but It can take time. want to be asked passwords but have the heavy lifting to take place in the bg grendal_prime | 20:31 |
| ThRixXx | trying to run a game via. wine in a separate window | 20:31 |
| nat2610 | hey, I did I don't know what while I was modifying my display on a fresh install of ubuntu and now I xorg is reading the xorg.conf.failsafe instead of xorg.conf How do I go back to that ? | 20:32 |
| balachmar | Hi I think I may have found a bug. Currently Xorg on my other box is completely eating one core. And the system is unusable. I can however ssh into it. | 20:32 |
| vegombrei | darkvertex: i did the hcitool scan and then connect to mac address .. it doesnt connect i get a host has shut down msg | 20:32 |
| balachmar | Any idea on how to get the system going again? | 20:32 |
| bullet234 | What the hell is wrong with my sound card realtek ALC662 ? The sound is buzzy | 20:32 |
| truebosko | What's a bitmap font that comes pre-installed on most linux machines (and looks decent) ? | 20:33 |
| ThRixXx | mooded, trying to run a game via. wine in a separate window. | 20:33 |
| fizbit | balachmar, I had that, it was caused by Flash 9, I haven't seen it in Flash 10 | 20:33 |
| Slart | bullet234: it's an onboard soundcard? drivers are new/untested/buggy? interference from other stuff in the computer? | 20:33 |
| balachmar | fizbit: so it is firefox related? | 20:33 |
| fizbit | but not sure if it is the same issue from such a small glance | 20:33 |
| jmarsden | memeemeee: Do sudo make rsync and then use ctrl-Z and then bg %1 to background the task after it has asked you for the pw? | 20:33 |
| mooded | ThRixXx, ok.. and you have two monitors ? or why do you use :1 ? | 20:33 |
| grendal_prime | memeemeee: look into some sort of task scheduler. Im sure there is one for each of the desktops out that...(im assuming that you are running this on a workstion) | 20:34 |
| Slart | bullet234: oh.. and you might want to watch the language.. the admins are pretty strict when it comes to profanity | 20:34 |
| bullet234 | Slart, it's a fresh install. The sound card is onboard. | 20:34 |
| balachmar | fizbit: I just killed -15 firefox and it is still frozen | 20:34 |
| darkvertex | vegombrei: did you try to connect with hcitool cc? | 20:35 |
| bullet234 | Slart, no problem, but it is kinds stressful ... | 20:35 |
| memeemeee | yes jmarsden I could do that. just wondering if there is a way to have bg surface when an input is required instead of stopping | 20:35 |
| bullet234 | kinda* | 20:35 |
| fizbit | balachmar, I could never get it to stop without a hard reset | 20:35 |
| stz184 | HCI authentication request failed: Input/output error | 20:35 |
| stz184 | my bluetooth stoped working :( | 20:35 |
| balachmar | fizbit: ok and you updated flash yourself? | 20:35 |
| cyberix | In some previous version of Ubuntu I double clickked on a gnumeric file and it suggested I should install gnumeric. | 20:36 |
| Slart | bullet234: I've never seen a solution to noisy output from soundcards.. my onboard cards works nicely in linux but hisses and crackles in windows.never been able to change it | 20:36 |
| fizbit | balachmar, after upgrading to Flash 10, I haven't had it happen since. But if you already have Flash 10 it could be something else | 20:36 |
| cyberix | Why doesn't this work anymore? | 20:36 |
| jmarsden | memeemeee: That woudl be very confusing... one minute you're typing away in a text editor, the next youf ind that what you are typing is going to a background task loking for a pw.... I don't think that would work very well :) | 20:36 |
| dime | hi.. i installed from the 386 cd instead of the x86_64 cd.. and now uname shows 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 | 20:36 |

| Slart | dime: reinstall | 20:36 |
| dime | any other way? | 20:36 |
| jmarsden | dime: Basically, you can't. Easiest way ahead is to reinstall from the correct CD | 20:36 |
| Slart | dime: not that I know of | 20:37 |
| dime | hrmm ok | 20:37 |
| dime | if i basically make a copy of my .wine folder, will that pretty much keep everything? | 20:37 |

| Slart | !clone | 20:53 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 20:53 |

| axion | spolvid, in the past till now have you ever gotton the ubuntu desktop to display ? | 21:21 |
| aleksander_m | c0re_: I guess you didn't write the appropriate device name in your grub.list | 21:21 |
| deus_ | and if it is should the boot flag go to the boot partition or the / partition? | 21:21 |
| spolvid | axion: Only booting off the CD. | 21:21 |
| zsquareplusc | `r0ot: but you have a GUI runing? then you could open a terminal or use alt+f2 and run gnome-system-log | 21:22 |

| erUSUL | axion: echo "test" >> logfile | 21:22 |
| axion | spolvid, so and then you have installed of the boot disk and the installed system doesn't seen to work ? | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Pyles17: maybe it needs recompiling, or you could try ndiswrapper | 21:22 |
| acke | n8tuser: no test is a string | 21:22 |
| Pyles17 | ActionParsnip: and then put the micro code in /lib/firmware | 21:23 |
| spolvid | axion: Yes. | 21:23 |

| ubottu | Promille: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:23 |

| spolvid | axion: All I can see is the flashing underscore in the upper left. I can't type or input in anyway, so I need to manually hit the power button to restart. | 21:25 |
| acke | n8tuser: i thought the pipe would be enough :O | 21:25 |

| acke | so if i put a file (a+x) in the cron.daily directory, will it be automatically run each day? | 21:25 |
| axion | spolvid, upon turning on the system you don't get the grub menu ? | 21:25 |
| Promille | matthew: the problem is that im not installing the recommended nvidia-driver, but for my new nvidia 9800gtx which there arent any "tested" drivers for ubuntu out yet | 21:26 |
| koops | for those who cant write on hotmail you have to chage general.user.vendor on about:config and erase Ubuntu there... mother ·$%·$% microsoft | 21:26 |
| n8tuser | acke-> do a manual test of the script before putting it in cron | 21:26 |

| matthew | it is a nice program that is what I use to install my drivers for my laptop | 21:27 |
| acke | n8tuser: thx thats a really good idea. how would i make sure its executed at the time i specified in the script? i did run the command before adding it to the script though. think they are okay | 21:27 |
| spolvid | axion: I'm booting off the CD now. | 21:27 |
| matthew | I wish 177 driver was available for 8.04 | 21:27 |
| acke | n8tuser: would the script be run each day, no other references needed? it only need to be in the dir? | 21:27 |
| n8tuser | acke it should | 21:28 |
| fosco_ | Promille: 177 driver should do the trick for 9800 | 21:28 |
| acke | n8tuser: gr8 thx | 21:28 |
| Promille | fosco_: ok, thanks | 21:28 |
| spolvid | axion: What now? | 21:29 |

| King_Bob | Hi guys , ive got a raid drive set up as a mirror with ubuntu installed on it which id like to format as a blank drive , how do i go about doing this as i cant make any head way with Partition editor | 21:51 |

| gavagai | I installed rar and unrar but still can't get extraction to work. What do I need to do to unpack rar archives? | 21:51 |
| BULLE_ | gavagai: unrar | 21:51 |
| _cb | Flanel I know data what I meant is not the /home folder. I would restore that from backup | 21:51 |
| mindrape | Neuling - well you can try booting off the primary drive and then using the bootloader there to get to it... but I don't think it's going to be successful still based on my magic 8 ball. | 21:51 |
| mindrape | gavagai - man unrar | 21:51 |
| BULLE_ | gavagai: and dont use the free version, thats called unrar-free | 21:51 |
| kyle | Flannel, are you refering to syste>admin>software sources? | 21:52 |
| BULLE_ | gavagai: or something along those lines, the free oversion doesnt work well at all | 21:52 |
| gavagai | mindrape, i want to use the GUI | 21:52 |
| Flannel | kyle: No, synaptic package manager. | 21:52 |
| zsquareplusc | gavagai: please provide error messages. i'm not good at telepathy | 21:52 |
| BULLE_ | gavagai: does unrar evne come with a gui ? | 21:52 |
| Flannel | kyle: that page steps you through its usage, including invocation | 21:52 |
| mindrape | he is probably using xarchive or something and gave the link to unrar to it? | 21:52 |
| mindrape | maybe? | 21:52 |
| Koordin | hi, i want to delete all the files which are in my current folder and which are numbers : what is wrong with that ? "find . -iregex ^[0-9]+$ -maxdepth 0 | rm" | 21:52 |

| erUSUL | !rar | 21:53 |
| gavagai | BULLE_, i googled this and it said if you install unrar it would make the default file extracter work with rar | 21:53 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 21:53 |
| tallmtt | I am setting up a laptop for sale - I had to do post install configuration to get wireless working. Is there a way to make it OEM (User sets up username/password on boot) now? | 21:53 |
| kyle | Flannel, ok let me check this out | 21:53 |
| _cb | What I want to do is give non-technical users PC's with Ubuntu and provide them with a real easy way to recover program and settings. Would use a different mechanism for the home folder | 21:53 |
| Neuling | mindrape:could be true :( i tried it before and it didnt work i thought that i would have done something wrong | 21:53 |
| spolvid | noaxi: what would the kernels look like? | 21:53 |
| Flannel | tallmtt: Did you install the OEM version? | 21:53 |
| _cb | mindrape I wish I was in college ;) | 21:54 |
| tallmtt | Flannel: No, I did not | 21:54 |
| Neuling | mindrape:Are a lot of Windows programs working under Wine so i will use Wine instead | 21:54 |
| King_Bob | any ideas? | 21:54 |
| zsquareplusc | Koordin: you cant pipe (|) to rm. you need to use -exec | 21:54 |
| zleap | how do I rotate the images for the stickers at http://ubuntu.ec/su/drupal5/ | 21:54 |
| zleap | i tried in gimp it rotated but cut what was the top and bottom off | 21:54 |
| zsquareplusc | Koordin: and i'd test with echo instead of rm.. | 21:54 |
| giacomo_c1 | my gnome session comes up with a black screen and my gconf-editor is blank, how can i fix these things since i upgraded to 8.10? | 21:55 |
| Koordin | zsquareplusc: ok thanks | 21:55 |
| Flannel | tallmtt: You'll want to do that. I believe both CDs (alternate and desktop) give you the ability to set up an OEM system (but if the desktop one doesn't, I can verify that the alternate CD does). Then you log in with a temporary "oem" user to set it all up, and then once that's done, you run a script. At next boot, it prompts for username/password/etc. | 21:55 |
| cables_malo | anyone here good with firestarter/ | 21:55 |
| Neuling | anyone knows a program with which i can rotate video clips? | 21:55 |
| gigatwo | Anyone willing to help me get my usb headset to work in pulse? It works fine with Sound recorder and nothing else. | 21:55 |
| cables_malo | i cant get any computer to get a DHCP addy | 21:55 |
| giacomo_c1 | what do you want to know cable? | 21:55 |
| noaxi | update-grub should tell you what kernels iti si installing | 21:55 |
| zsquareplusc | Flannel: rhe desktop also has a note about OEM installs when you boot :-) | 21:55 |
| tallmtt | Flannel: There's no way I can run a script, or just type in the commands (maybe from a livecd) at this point? | 21:56 |
| cables_malo | i set up firestarter on my eth0 and it said it is working and nothing gets and address | 21:56 |
| gavagai | So if I have to use the CLI, that's fine, but how do I figure out the path to the windows share containing the rar archive? I'm looking at it in nautilus right now and in propreties it says the location is smb://computername. how do i get there in the terminal? | 21:56 |
| Slart | cables_malo: I think firestarter by default just drops all packages | 21:56 |
| zsquareplusc | gavagai: oh. those smb urls are probably not supported by unrar. copy the files first | 21:56 |
| erUSUL | gavagai: yopu do not have to use the cli to unrar a file | 21:56 |
| Koordin | zsquareplusc: and my regexp is correct ? i know this is the php syntax | 21:56 |
| cables_malo | is there some known issue with sharing internet with ubuntu 7.10? | 21:56 |
| WoodsDog | how does the 64 bit of ibex hold up? any significant reasons not to use 64 bit? | 21:56 |
| gavagai | zsquareplusc, thanks | 21:56 |

| zsquareplusc | erUSUL: that is new to me, tell me more :-) | 22:09 |

| dirtbag | erUSUL: I knew what lts stood for , just not sure why 8.10 isnt part of it. | 22:10 |
| Slart | RobertTables: it's been a long time since I bothered with samba and nmbd.. perhaps take a look at the samba site.. nmbd is a service that translates network names to ip's.. pretty much like dns but for a lan afaik | 22:10 |
| erUSUL | zsquareplusc: well "if i recall correctly" is the key part may be wrong | 22:10 |
| WDC | Neuling: ActionParsnip: Doesn't work | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: does the file exist? | 22:10 |
| tCzern | thanks!! | 22:10 |
| zsquareplusc | erUSUL: :-) | 22:10 |
| erUSUL | dirtbag: 8.10 is not lts so it is only supported 18 months iirc | 22:10 |
| rblst | n8tuser: i may be completely lame, but i don't see such an option in OO | 22:10 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: Pretty sure. It installed from a .deb. Sudo truecrypt works | 22:10 |
| mintsoup | Does anyone have any experience running nvidia drivers on top of an 8800gt? How good is the linux support of this card? | 22:10 |

| p0a | Hello | 22:11 |
| mindrape | hi p0a | 22:11 |
| tallmtt | I see "oem-config" is in the repositories - will it work to reset the install to oem? | 22:11 |
| dirtbag | erUSUL: Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification. | 22:11 |
| carpeliam | i'm assuming 8.10 isn't LTS because it's not rock-solid stable, but i'd assume that about any distro that's not LTS, i don't know anything about 8.10 specifically | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: can you give the output of ls -l ~/..TrueCrypt-lock-david | 22:11 |
| mintsoup | Slart: does video playback work properly when you have compiz enabled? | 22:11 |
| Slart | mintsoup: yup, even hd material plays nicely | 22:12 |
| jtimberman | carpeliam: 8.04 is the latest LTS release. | 22:12 |
| PriceChild | tallmtt: no, it just deletes the temporary user and makes sure that when it reboots, it gives a setup for the new 'real' user | 22:12 |
| p0a | I'm trying to install firefox 3. I download it from the official website, I run the binary located in ./firefox/firefox and I get the error message that I have GTK+ 2.8 and firefox 3 needs >= 2.10. Is there any way to upgrade GTK+ with apt-get?- | 22:12 |
| mintsoup | Slart: hooray.. now just to convince my vista-loving roommate to swap his 8800gt for my hd4850.. | 22:12 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip Apparently there is no file | 22:12 |
| WDC | hmm | 22:12 |
| rblst | n8tuser: i though cups config was system-wide and OO takes that, too | 22:12 |
| DIFH-iceroot | p0a: just use apt-get | 22:12 |
| mindrape | carpeliam: dont take my word for it... http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes | 22:12 |
| dr4k3 | erver irc.got2think.org | 22:12 |
| p0a | DIFH-iceroot: how? | 22:12 |
| DIFH-iceroot | p0a: sudo apt-get install firefox | 22:13 |
| Slart | mintsoup: large amounts of alcohol usually simplifies the negotiation process =) | 22:13 |
| jtimberman | p0a what version of ubuntu are you using? 3.0(beta) came with Hardy and 3.0 ships with Intrepid | 22:13 |
| mintsoup | Slart: thanks for the advice | 22:13 |
| p0a | jtimberman: intrepid? | 22:13 |
| Slart | mintsoup: but I thought ati was getting better? | 22:13 |
| jtimberman | Intrepid Ibex, 8.10 | 22:13 |
| DIFH-iceroot | p0a: or sudo apt-get install firefox3 dont know the name of the (meta)paket | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: try copying the one from /root to your home folder then change its permissions and ownership to david for full access | 22:13 |
| p0a | jtimberman: I'm using 6.06 | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: does the app need root privs to run? | 22:13 |
| mintsoup | Slart, ati still has tons of problems with various apps in combination, especially with compiz | 22:14 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: I have no idea. I just installed it | 22:14 |
| reconn | does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"? | 22:14 |
| Slart | RobertTables: here's a page from the samba site about name resolution.. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch07.html | 22:14 |
| Slart | mintsoup | 22:14 |

| WDC | ActionParsnip: So what do I need to do | 22:14 |
| Slart | mintsoup: hmm.. to bad.. well.. perhaps next year | 22:15 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: Again, sorry | 22:15 |
| BusMaster | I just upgraded from hardy to interpid on my amd64 setup and my system has slowed down a *lot*..booting takes time, even after booting, normal operations take too much time. The mouse also feels slow and jerky..how should I fix this? google didn't provide any solutions | 22:15 |
| zamba | i need a command to grep for a line in a file, and if it's found, remove the line before and after.. | 22:15 |
| mindrape | p0a - your best bet, knowing you are on 6.06, is to look for a repository where they made it work with your older libraries. Google is your best bet. | 22:15 |
| zamba | .. and the line found | 22:15 |
| mintsoup | Slart; yeah.. maybe, but I wish i had remembered my previous experience w/ ati when purchasing this computer.. somehow slipped my mind | 22:15 |
| jtimberman | p0a sorry i'm not much help, i just upgraded my 6.06 box to 8.10 the other day. | 22:15 |
| jtimberman | and its a server anyway so no firefox | 22:15 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: Well, reagrdless | 22:15 |
| mindrape | p0a - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=847484 | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: try: sudo cp /root/.TrueCrypt-lock-david ~/ && sudo chown david ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-david && sudo chmod 733 ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-david | 22:15 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: I have no access to /home/david. I had a backup of the /home folder from my old Ubuntu install | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: it may need root to run like alien does. If its a GUI app use gksudo | 22:16 |
| mindrape | p0a - your best bet is to just upgrade to the next LTS version. | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: then change ~/ to wherever your profile is stored | 22:16 |
| LjL | zamba: "grep" won't do that, you'll need "sed" for that. i don't really know how that would be done though, ask in #sed | 22:16 |
| reconn | does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"? | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: make sure you can write to your own home directory | 22:16 |
| zamba | LjL: thanks :) | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | reconn: set it to 100 and experiment | 22:17 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: how do I do that! | 22:17 |
| jtimberman | LjL or perl :) | 22:17 |
| jtimberman | WDC: "ls -ld ~" | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | WDC: well wherever your home stuffs are with all you folders starting with . | 22:18 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: I understand now | 22:18 |
| scunizi | ActionParsnip, WDC might run into the same issue I had (and still haven't fixed).. if his current user id is different from the old one he'll have permission issues.. | 22:18 |
| WDC | ActionParsnip: But, I can't do anyting in my home folder | 22:18 |
| WDC | scunizi: on both installs it was 'david'. No different | 22:18 |
| reconn | does somebody use "GMail Notify" here? What is the unit of the "Check Intervall"? | 22:19 |
| scunizi | WDC, there is a number associated with the install.. if you are the only one using the computer it's typically 1000.. on my setup I had a user id of 1000 on one machine and 1001 on another with the same user name. | 22:19 |
| MTecknology | reconn: what's it set to by defautl/ | 22:19 |
| jtimberman | WDC: the user name is merely a human mnemonic. the OS uses a number (uid) to represent permissions. | 22:19 |
| MTecknology | default* | 22:19 |
| WDC | scunizi: So how do I fix it? I have NO permissions to my home folder | 22:20 |

| mindrape | tallmtt - you can boot into single user mode and it will let you become root. | 22:21 |
| WDC | It's still not working | 22:22 |
| mindrape | WDC - what is the username? | 22:22 |
| mindrape | you realize $USER is a variable and not a literal, right? | 22:22 |
| WDC | mindrape: david | 22:22 |
| zleap | i was thinking it could have picked some dirt up from somewhere, | 22:22 |
| zleap | even a small bit in the wrong place can cause issues sometimes | 22:22 |
| mindrape | WDC - cd /home chown david.david /home/david | 22:22 |
| rand0mabo | is there like a USB device manager for ubuntu? I have a laptop with 4 power USB powers, and I use a USB keyboard and mouse... wondering if i could someone managed those devices??? | 22:23 |
| mindrape | make sure you sudo on that actually. :) | 22:23 |
| tallmtt | mindrape: Great! So if I delete the user, and user's home directory - that setup will automatically run? | 22:23 |
| zleap | not sure | 22:23 |

| irini | who is best in linux? | 22:45 |
| jmarsden | RobertTables: Yes, you need the name lookup used by the windows box to know about the name of your Ubunut box... | 22:45 |

| gavagai | I have succeeded in installing TVAnts. I can get it to find channels. But I can't get mplayer or vlc to open the feeds. Anyone have success with this? | 22:45 |
| irini | how i configure Xorg | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | emilien: you could symlink to a folder in / if you need more space | 22:45 |
| irini | with the terminal | 22:45 |
| jmarsden | RobertTables: You can edit the hosts file in windows to do that, or get DNS working if you haev a local DNS server, or... lots of possibilities... all depends on your network. | 22:45 |

| emilien | ActionParsnip: i could do that after install ? | 22:46 |
| irini | but when i want 2 save it it don't | 22:46 |
| lakitu | how do i backup partition tables, mbrs, & bootsectors (or ...) while they're good? | 22:46 |
| xGERMx | jmarsden: the real question is, how do we get the hostname in the first place (w/o using the command line) | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | emilien: yeah if you need more space | 22:46 |
| jmarsden | Define "get" ? You typed it in at Ubuntu install time, right? | 22:46 |
| RobertTables | jmarsden, I have samba up and running and added it to the workgroup etc, from windows when I look through my workgroup I can see a listing for the ubuntu host, but cant browse it... the only way I can access the shares is by referring to it by \\ip-address... | 22:46 |
| emilien | ActionParsnip: ok cross that bridge if or when i get there =) | 22:46 |
| irini | actionparsnip | 22:47 |
| jmarsden | RobertTables: I can't do a full Samba browsing troubleshoot here, I'll go mad... | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | emilien: create a folder elsewhere and make appropriate permissions and ownerships, then symlink the folder so its easier to access | 22:47 |

| RobertTables | jmarsden, can it not be set in the smb.conf? | 22:47 |
| xGERMx | that's the guide for 8.04 | 22:48 |
| jmarsden | RobertTables: Not-quite-working SMB browsing can be happening for many reasons... | 22:48 |

| DIFH-iceroot | King_Bob: normally ext3 | 22:50 |

| ActionParsnip | emilien: primary | 22:51 |

| DIFH-iceroot | l7: just use enough ram, this is best for performance | 22:51 |
| joebodo | !partition | l7 | 22:51 |
| ubottu | l7: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 22:51 |

| NekroJakub | I heard that I don't need a swap partition if I have 2GB RAM, is that true? | 23:03 |
| thiebaude | !swap | 23:04 |
| 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 | 23:04 |
| noecksit | hello, i have a problem with gdm and logging users in, we use a ldap server which has usernames but no groups for our users, so when gdm tries to login it doesn't let it because there is no default group | 23:04 |
| Mac_ | jmarsden: i have a wireless network on my university that uses WPA-PSK TKIP. I can not connect to it! Do you know how i can solve this? I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 | 23:04 |
| thiebaude | 2gb should be fast | 23:04 |
| gavagai | NekroJakub, if it is a laptop you need swap to hibernate | 23:04 |
| noecksit | it works when logging in through the cli login utility but not through gdm | 23:04 |
| Slart | NekroJakub: unless you're going to use hibernating I don't think you really really need swap | 23:04 |
| think_linux | hey guys...am i allowed to ask queestions about ettercap? | 23:04 |
| ferronica | can anyone help me regarding Microsoft wireless laser keyboard 6000 v.2.0 volume up and down key not working :( | 23:04 |
| noecksit | also, if i create a group for a user it allows him to login, but that is inefficient since for each user we will have to make a group | 23:05 |
| jmarsden | Mac_: That's likely to be specific to the card (wireless chipset) you are using and its driver. | 23:05 |
| rblst | n8tuser: i can of course do that, but if i restart OO, it shows the old printer as default again | 23:05 |
| jimmacdonald | OK seriously... Has anyone else had problems trying to make a USB Startup Drive while running the liveCD? | 23:05 |
| NekroJakub | gavagi: If it's a PC I don't need swap to hibernate? | 23:05 |
| goat_srv | !ask | think_linux | 23:05 |
| ubottu | think_linux: 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. :-) | 23:05 |
| noecksit | is there a way to add a user to a default group before gdm login like a cli one? | 23:05 |
| jmarsden | Mac_: Google for the chipset name and ubuntu and see if you find anything useful? | 23:05 |
| goat_srv | think_linux: you may be told its offtopic, but i dont knoww about ettercap | 23:05 |
| think_linux | goat_srv, coz maybe i thought it was off topic | 23:05 |
| think_linux | ? | 23:05 |
| Mac_ | jmarsden: it work very well on several wireless networks | 23:06 |
| think_linux | goat_srv, alright...i wont then | 23:06 |
| Mac_ | jmarsden: but with TKIP don't work | 23:06 |
| jmarsden | OK, so does the driver and related software you are using support TKIP? Is it *supposed* to be able to do that? | 23:06 |
| Mac_ | jmarsden: i already look on google and there is a lot of peole with the same problem | 23:06 |
| jmarsden | Mac_: Then most likely either there is a bug already filed in LaunchPad, or you should file one. | 23:07 |
| goat_srv | think_linux: i'd try looking for a channel that focuses on ettercap | 23:07 |
| Mac_ | jmarsden: i'm usinf the proprietary driver for my wireless card | 23:07 |

| think_linux | goat_srv, i went to ettercap ifficial channell....no one there lol | 23:07 |

| owh | Hi all, running Intrepid I am trying to get x running on two screens. Under gutsy you could just add a section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a ServerLayout, but that no longer exists. How do I get two independent screens again? (My screens work, but there is much dead space - their sizes are different.) | 23:14 |

| jimmacdonald | OK seriously... Has anyone else had problems trying to make a USB Startup Drive while running the liveCD? | 23:14 |
| owh | lakitu: You can backup a partition with dd. | 23:14 |
| kuro | I used dd to make a copy of my Ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD. How do i add the new partition to Grub. I transferred from sda4 to sda3 if that helps | 23:15 |

| Spets | TLove, boot from USB? | 23:16 |
| owh | TLove: Then you could setup a PXE boot, or boot from USB as Spets suggests. | 23:16 |
| TLove | umm, Im not sure, I'd think it might. If it does i think i can just boot from the usb right? | 23:17 |

| Deadmode | Havsalt, if its a large drive you can just use ntfs. you can make linux read ntfs most of the time | 23:18 |
| Spets | jimmacdonald: Are you sure thats the USB you are booting from | 23:18 |
| owh | TLove: As I said, a PXE boot, using TFTP, there are several instructions, basically you setup a PXE server and point your laptop at it. IIRC there is even a public PXE server out there. | 23:18 |

| Havsalt | Deadmode and rblst, isnt there anything more stable? | 23:19 |
| jmarsden | Havsalt: FAT32 maybe? | 23:19 |
| owh | zendo: You should be able to set it to online mode, then quit, then launch it again. | 23:19 |
| kuro | I used dd to make a copy of my Ubuntu 8.10 partition to another partition on the same HD. How do i add the new partition to Grub. I transferred from sda4 to sda3 if that helps | 23:19 |

| owh | kuro: The menu.1st file in /boot/{mumble} | 23:20 |
| Havsalt | jmarsden, if it's more stable i'll give it a go. what was the maximum filesize, or partiton size for FAT32? | 23:20 |
| Deadmode | Havsalt, well fat32 i suppose....honestly i've been using ntfs for a long time to transfer back and forth. If the computer that you transfer to is on the same network i would take serious consideration into samba | 23:20 |
| owh | zendo: I do not understand what you are saying. | 23:20 |
| kuro | owh: What do i need to enter | 23:20 |
| Havsalt | rblst, sorry, im a newbie. i think i use nfs now | 23:20 |
| === meoblast is now known as meoblast001 | ||
| Deadmode | Havsalt, samba server is very very nice. Would hate doing any kind of transfer with out it | 23:21 |
| zendo | owh: sorry. What you have told me never worked with ff3 | 23:21 |
| Deadmode | at least a transfer at my house :) | 23:21 |
| Havsalt | Deadmode, it's not network | 23:21 |
| owh | kuro: Have a look at the file, the HD(0,0) stuff is pointing to your partition. I cannot give you specifics, it's different for each OS and installation. | 23:21 |
| jmarsden | Havsalt: I forget... it's smaller... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table or google for "FAT32 limits" | 23:21 |
| goat_srv | Deadmode: but samba has more overhead than nfs | 23:21 |
| zendo | owh: I set that and next time it still starts in offline mode | 23:21 |
| owh | zendo: Well, I'm running FF3 and it doesn't do that for me, so perhaps your profile is corrupt. | 23:22 |
| goat_srv | more overhead == less bits per second | 23:22 |
| Deadmode | goat_srv, oh i haven't used nfs yet | 23:22 |
| zendo | owh: can you explain me what and where? I really wouldnt like to lose all bookmarks and extensions, by deleting ~/.mozilla | 23:23 |

| scunizi | thomc, 'cause it's busy and you're probably doing it from the gui.. from terminal it's faster | 23:28 |
| Andreica | so, if i will stop firewall, won't happen anything bad? | 23:28 |

| === justin__ is now known as zenlunatic | ||

| rblst | scunizi: exactly | 23:29 |
| kri | can anyone check their dafult mplayer config please?! | 23:29 |
| owh | thomc: No, not unless you asked it to encrypt it. | 23:29 |
| thomc | owh no then | 23:29 |
| owh | kri, ask a question before you want us all to run around like headless chickens :-) | 23:29 |

| ferdinando | ciao | 23:30 |
| ferdinando | italianeeeeeeeeeee | 23:30 |
| kri | owh: i asked allready. | 23:30 |
| scunizi | rblst, it might be because OO is remembering which printer you used last.. do a file/print change the printer to the one you want and print a page. then save the file.. next time it opens that should be the default printer then. | 23:30 |

My IP is dhcp from my cable provider so that is not possible. Am I screwed for SMTP out? | 23:30 |
| owh | thomc: Perhaps you're running low on RAM and it's having to work hard at copying your files? | 23:30 |
| kri | i have manually installed mplayer cause if i apt-get install it, it will remove lamemp3-dev etc. i need the deafult config that it use though... where do i find it? | 23:30 |

| koops | ammmm, i only can run java apps like frostwire with sudo... any ideas?? | 23:31 |
| mcphail | ElecMoHwk: if your ip range is on the DUL some providers (e.g. hotmail) will block. Didn't know that gmail would block. | 23:31 |
| owh | thomc: You can add the System Monitor applet to your panel and show the various gauges, that will give you and idea. | 23:31 |
| scunizi | rblst, go to localhost:631 if you haven't already and make sure the printer you want is marked default there as well.. that's the direct cups interface | 23:32 |
| rblst | scunizi: yes, i've checked that | 23:32 |
| ardchoille | thomc: If you're looking to monitor various things on you computer, you might want to try gkrellm, it's in the repos | 23:32 |
| owh | kri, your question relates to a custom install from an unspecified site. There is absolutely no relation to the application you're running and the one that is shipped with Ubuntu. I'm not being a smart-ass, the question is not answerable. | 23:32 |
| ElecMoHwk | mcphail: appears it's just not allowing mail from users at any domain that is not under the ip. I can actually send an email from @charter.net and it goes through. CEO@charter.net works, ironicly. | 23:33 |
| kuro | how do i find the UUID of a partition | 23:33 |
| koops | never mind.... dont know why i can do it | 23:33 |

| zenlunatic | unr3a1: what do you mean "pull"? | 23:38 |
| thomc | owh the applet shows harddisk usage between 15-30%, if that's what you meant. I can't see a value labelled IOWAIT | 23:38 |

| dave_ | would anyone | 23:39 |
| owh | thomc: It's a CPU state :) | 23:39 |
| Out_Cold | oh.. wait.. split?? or spit? | 23:39 |
| jimmacdonald | gavagai: have you done a man on ifconfig? | 23:39 |
| unr3a1 | it will query 255.255.255.255 for the IP address if I do a dhclient. before in 8.04, it queried the gateway of the router. | 23:39 |
| ElecMoHwk | mcphail: sorry for the delay in replies, I tried forwarding through my isp's SMTP server, and I get rejected as @mydomain != @charter.net. While my IP is not static, it has been the same for 6+ months and is referenced in my dns directly without issue elsewhere. | 23:39 |

| owh | zendo: firefox -safe-mode | 23:41 |
| unr3a1 | zenlunatic: it will query 255.255.255.255 for an IP through dhclient. in 8.04 it queried the gateway of the router. | 23:41 |
| zendo | owh: ok | 23:41 |
| Havsalt | rblst, that actually looks very interesting to me | 23:41 |
| jonathon | i know i can do this over my ip through my router and such, i have a set up with a shared folder where i put something in it and it shows up from any computer linked to only that shared folder. what i am asking is if there is a way i can do this over two dif ips. and two dif. os. one os x the other ubuntu. | 23:41 |
| zendo | owh: yes, still in offline mode | 23:41 |
| owh | scunizi: I don't have that panel in Intrepid :( | 23:41 |
| mcphail | ElecMoHwk: looking at the headers on the received email in gmail, it appears they do perform a lookup on the "from" domain and try to match it to the sending ip. Suspect there is no easy solution | 23:42 |
| thomc | owh ok I got it (!), and yes IOWAIT is pretty much maxed out | 23:42 |
| === ging is now known as Ging | ||
| RobertTables | owh, what do I need to add to /etc/hosts to mkae it work? | 23:42 |
| scunizi | owh, let me load intrepid in vm and check.. brb | 23:42 |
| mynous | is there a way to tell if you nic is truelly operating as full duplex? | 23:42 |
| owh | RobertTables: Wait a mo for the answer from your other intrepid helper :) | 23:42 |
| ElecMoHwk | mcphail: my fears realized. Looks like I need to colo and warm up my /24 again to get my domains mailing :( damnit. Thanks for taking a look and giving me a second set of eyes. | 23:42 |
| RobertTables | owh, Im on hardy :-) | 23:43 |
| King | ne1 know why i have flashing black boxes while playing TA Spring Project | 23:43 |
| rblst | Havsalt: i myself use VirtualBox, tell me if you need any help setting it up | 23:43 |
| ElecMoHwk | Follow up question ... anyone know of any affordable co-location providers in the southern california area ? | 23:43 |
| owh | RobertTables: Well, do you have the panel that scunizi suggested? | 23:43 |
| Randall1 | So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? | 23:43 |
| ElecMoHwk | :) just incase. rhetorical question I guess. Thanks again McPhail sir. | 23:43 |
| RobertTables | yes, but not sure what values.. | 23:44 |
| RobertTables | owh, yes, but not sure what values.. | 23:44 |
| Havsalt | rblst, yes. think im gonna do a format here first, clean up every disk | 23:44 |
| RobertTables | owh, static ip - hostname? | 23:44 |
| === vonguard__ is now known as PuppyCock | ||
| Po-mas | heya, i'm having some trouble getting my laptop internal bluetooth working. Can anyone help me? | 23:44 |
| mcphail | ElecMoHwk: why not use a valid "reply-to" in your emails and send from your isp domain? | 23:44 |
| scunizi | owh, wow.. looks like vbox doesn't like 2 vm's running at the same time.. it went nuts when loading intrepid.. closed win and loading ibex now propertly | 23:45 |
| owh | RobertTables: Yup. | 23:45 |
| ElecMoHwk | Question: can anyone recommed a program for sharing a directory as an iTunes playlist off of an ubuntu box, so that windows boxes running iTunes can play from it? | 23:45 |
| tCzern | I just finished compiling a program, how can I find it in Gnome? | 23:45 |
| owh | scunizi: I've been using qemu - vbox needed way too many things installed :( | 23:45 |
| RobertTables | owh, I dont understand, how will this enable windows to see it? and do i need to restart any services? | 23:45 |
| SpaceCow567 | Request: needs help w/ gunroar pkg | 23:45 |
| ElecMoHwk | mcphail: because I do not want to email business contacts from username@charter.net ... I would like to send them from @mydomain.com | 23:45 |
| kuro | How can i copy a partition to another of a smaller size | 23:46 |
| owh | RobertTables: Hold on, you are trying to get from Windows to Ubuntu, or from Ubuntu to Windows? I thought the latter... | 23:46 |
| ElecMoHwk | kuro: cp -R * ? | 23:46 |
| RobertTables | nope, I can access my ubuntu box only by ip from windows, what I want to do is from windows be able to access it by hostname.. | 23:47 |
| owh | RobertTables: Ahh. | 23:47 |
| rblst | tCzern: if you compile a program, it doesn't show up in gnome | 23:47 |
| unr3a1 | so does anyone have any clue as to what may be causing the command line to be unable to connect to a wireless network? | 23:47 |
| owh | scunizi: You can stop looking, we're solving the wrong thing :) | 23:47 |
| mcphail | ElecMoHwk: with regards to your new question, maybe gnump3d? Not sure if it integrates well with itunes | 23:47 |
| owh | RobertTables: Are there other servers on your network? | 23:47 |
| scunizi | owh, RobertTables looks like network manager aka "Network" in the Admin part is no installed.. ok.. got it.. yep .. Win to ubuntu | 23:48 |
| guest | hi | 23:48 |
| thomc | is there a way to reduce iowait? | 23:48 |
| RobertTables | owh, so say fto access my webserver I can point broswer to http://myhostname instead of http://ipaddressofubuntubox | 23:48 |
| qhartman | ElecMoHwk: you can use a number of things for that. Rhythbox will do it, if you want something more server-y firefly is a good choice | 23:48 |
| mindrape | thomc - yes... type in yes yes | 23:48 |
| RobertTables | owh, no other servers, small home setup | 23:48 |
| kuro | ElecMoHwk: will that carry over everything and keep all the permissions | 23:48 |
| NotDell | I'm looking for Windows Server chatroom, anybody? | 23:48 |
| RobertTables | owh scunizi , you get me? | 23:49 |
| mindrape | NotDell: I think you'll be hard pressed to find Windows support on an opensource developers IRC network. | 23:49 |
| ElecMoHwk | kuro: no, it will put everything in permissions for the user copying the files. Not sure how to preserve own/grp/perm, sorry. | 23:49 |
| thomc | mindrape ? | 23:49 |
| Andreica | when i'm listening music, pidgin don't sounds anything. how to correct it? | 23:49 |
| SpaceCow567 | Requesting help for Gunroar Package | 23:49 |
| ElecMoHwk | qhartman: define server-y ... ubuntu box is cmd line only, no desktop so, it qualifies as a server, yes. | 23:49 |
| Randall1 | So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? anyone know how to fix this? | 23:49 |
| kuro | Any idea how to use dd to copy but set it to copy to a smaller partition | 23:49 |
| kuro | I used dd to copy and because it was bigger the file system became corrupt | 23:50 |
| scunizi | RobertTables, well two things.. if you also want access from outside the lan then look into dydns or a similar service.. be aware that your ISP probably blocks port 80 so you'll have to change that in apache2. As for doing it from inside the lan.. you got me.. no idea. | 23:50 |
| loveonfull | unable to install midi buntu repos, gives me this error E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 23:50 |
| loveonfull | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 23:50 |
| Bynw | help! i just got home and moved my mouse to turn off my screensaver ... all i see is my wallpaper no panels or icons on the desktop (GNOME) | 23:51 |
| mneptok | loveonfull: is another process using it? | 23:51 |
| NotDell | mindrape: ##windows-server ;) | 23:51 |
| owh | loveonfull: You probably have synaptic, add/remove programmes, update manager running | 23:51 |
| scunizi | RobertTables, maybe changing the hosts table in windows to reflect your internal ip of the server and the port number with an alias of "whatever" you want | 23:51 |
| lorenzo | hi, i have installed kde but i am still shown gnome icons when browsing folders. should i remove the gnome icons, or will that mess up my gnome session? thanks | 23:51 |
| mcphail | kuro: dd cannot shrink partitions. You _can_ pipe the output through gzip, though | 23:51 |
| RobertTables | scunizi, two machines arebeside me :-) just want to refer to the ubuntu box by hostname instead of ip! :-) | 23:52 |
| owh | RobertTables: Well windows has a hosts file too :) | 23:52 |
| _Zeus_ | does anyone know the options needed for mknod to recreate /dev/null? | 23:52 |
| Andreica | loveonfull: are you using in this time any sinaptic? usually it happens when you are trying to use 2 synaptic in the same time | 23:52 |
| rahduke | can someone help me please, since i've upgraded to 8.10 I can't access my USB drives (G1 phone and 8 gig USB thumbdriver) | 23:52 |
| loveonfull | I logged out and came back but still the same | 23:52 |
| rahduke | Ubuntu recognizes them but nautilus wont open them | 23:52 |
| SpaceCow567 | Having trouble with Gunroar package, Help please? | 23:52 |
| Andreica | when i'm listening music, pidgin don't sounds anything. how to correct it? | 23:52 |
| mrkris | Hiya, having some issues with ffmpeg, trying to transcode an avi to flv, but I get an error that its an unsupported input format | 23:53 |
| scunizi | RobertTables, that's why I originally suggested ##windows because I think it's something you need to change in the windows setup to recognize the name and where it links to.. does that make sense to you owh or am I off base here? | 23:53 |
| Randall1 | So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? | 23:53 |
| mneptok | !repeat > Andreica | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Andreica, please see my private message | 23:53 |
| owh | RobertTables: scunizi, the real problem is that Windows isn't being populated properly by Samba, IIRC, there is a samba.conf setting to act as the browse master. You can then point windows at the IP of the machine to do WINS lookups and you can also tell windows to use the DNS to resolve windows names. | 23:53 |
| DoYouKnow | how do I get the latest development version/sources for the linux kernel on ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| SpaceCow567 | Requesting help with Gunroar package? | 23:54 |
| RobertTables | owh, Where do you start with that! | 23:55 |
| RobertTables | t:-) | 23:55 |
| porter1 | Does anyone have an idea about why I can't change my DNS settings in intrepid with network-manager? | 23:55 |
| owh | RobertTables: I'd open up the Windows network properties and point the WINS server setting at the IP of your server and see what happens. | 23:55 |
| porter1 | I'm getting the most ominous message when I try to. | 23:55 |
| porter1 | And it seems as though others are having similar problems. | 23:56 |
| Andreica | when music is playing, pidgin don't sing anything. how to make it announce me when i receive a message and i'm listening to music? | 23:56 |
| scient | how do i get the uuid of a partition again? | 23:56 |
| Bynw | I've lost my desktop (GNOME) Ubuntu 8.10 ... only see my wallpaper no panels or icons | 23:56 |
| scunizi | owh, I wasn't aware he's just trying to share a folder or files.. he had mentioned server so I thought "wiki" , test web page etc.. | 23:57 |
| owh | scunizi: Heh :) | 23:57 |
| RobertTables | owh, Yayyyy! it works! | 23:57 |
| lwizardl | has anyone here configured a Linux cash register (point of sale) setup? | 23:57 |
| scient | bynw, if it doesnt fix itsself you can kill pretty much everything you have open and restart your X with ctrl-alt-backspace | 23:57 |
| owh | RobertTables: Excellent. | 23:57 |
| dasginganinja | Hi, I'm having troubles getting my ATI radeon x850xt to work after I enable the fglrx driver via the hardware drivers. I have to go into rescue mode and run xfix then resume boot to get it back to normal. Can somebody help me get 3d enabled on my Intrepid(8.10) install? I desperately need to program for my opengl class and cannot until this is fixed. Thanks in advance! | 23:58 |
| tCzern | how can I change from my desktop to the /usr directory? | 23:58 |
| porter1 | Anyone have any idea if there are better replacements for network-manager? it is a total mess of a program. | 23:58 |
| rahduke | can someone help me please, since i've upgraded to 8.10 I can't access my USB drives (G1 phone and 8 gig USB thumbdrive) | 23:58 |
| mindrape | porter1 - I use the command line... | 23:58 |
| dasginganinja | tCzern: cd /usr | 23:59 |
| rahduke | noone here ever helps me | 23:59 |

| Bynw | scient, the keyboard doesnt seem to function but its connected ... only the mouse works (i see the pointer and can move it). anything i do on the keyboard doesnt do anything | 23:59 |
| Randall1 | So when i open hardware drivers a driver is now available however there is a gray dot thing next to it saying "A different version of this driver is in use" and when i activate the 96 driver and restart it tells me that ubuntu must start in low-graphics mode? | 23:59 |
| scient | thats for lwizardl i have never used it or heard of it | 23:59 |
| neeto | porter1: I agree, nasty program. I use the command line as well. | 23:59 |
| ironfroggy_ | is there any reason an init.d script has to be an sh script? | 23:59 |
| tCzern | hhm, tried that ... brb .. | 23:59 |
| mindrape | rahduke: lol... uhmmmm.... do they show up in dmesg? | 23:59 |
| rahduke | i dont know what that is | 23:59 |
| mindrape | rahduke - when you lspci do you see them? | 23:59 |
| xubuser | anybody know if XFCE compositor is in addition to X Server compositor? Or should we run both? | 23:59 |
| mindrape | rahduke: pull up a commandline and type dmesg | 23:59 |
| RobertTables | owh, 1 more question though.. you see the smb.conf.. there are settings in there for WINS, see here: http://rafb.net/p/5OABrO21.html | 23:59 |
| scient | bynw, if you know whats causing it use ctrl-alt-f1 to get a terminal, but other wise use ctrl-alt-backspace | 23:59 |
